CHAPTER 992: CHAPTER 414: PHANTOM EYE (5-IN-1)_4

A series of red alerts popped up on the virtual screen of the Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye.

"Warning: Control reversal failed."

....

"Notice: Exposure risk increased, temporarily retreat!"

The Spiritual Mechanism·Illusion Eye immediately turned around and flew away.

Inside the central control room.

Li Menghan and the others looked at Timi in fear.

"Lord Timi, what’s going on? All the Mechanical Octopuses have self-destructed."

.....

Timi quickly reacted and gave orders.

"It’s the Mechanical Clan, there must be Mechanical Clan nearby, sound the battle alarm immediately!"

"Yes!"

Li Menghan and the others responded immediately.

At this moment, Su Ming’s communication cut directly in.

"Timi, what happened?"

"We’ve been targeted by the Mechanical Clan, the Mechanical Octopuses were reverse-controlled."

"Then why did they all self-destruct?"

"It must have triggered the reverse-control backdoor and self-destructed."

Timi explained to Su Ming.

Su Ming’s face turned extremely dark after hearing it, this time it’s over!

Such a large batch of Mechanical Octopuses are all gone, how to explain to Vickers when we get back? You know, these Mechanical Octopuses were borrowed.

But now is not the time for distress, he immediately said to Timi.

"Quick, notify everyone to return to the Wind Moving, it’s not safe here, we need to move immediately!"

"Okay!"

Timi responded immediately.

The Mechanical Clan is unlike other Alien Races, when they generally discover an enemy beyond their own strength, they will upload intelligence and rally a large force.

...

Much later, when the last Iron Guard returned, the Wind Moving immediately set sail and left at full speed.

At this time, Su Ming walked into the central control room.

"Officer Su Ming."

Timi and others greeted him one after another.

"Well, how’s the situation now?"

Su Ming asked seriously.

"So far, we haven’t scanned any traces of the Mechanical Clan. Their stealth capability should exceed the scanning device of the Wind Moving. However, it cannot be ruled out that they have retreated, after all, after the control reversal fails, they would be exposed and should have retreated."

Timi said to Su Ming.

"Hmm, I understand."

Su Ming felt that Timi made a lot of sense.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"We haven’t found the treasure yet!"

"Yeah, and because the Mechanical Clan appeared here, could it be they’ve already taken the treasure?"

...

Rhein and others asked worriedly.

Su Ming’s expression changed for a moment and he spoke.

"It’s not impossible, let me think."

Everyone fell quiet, watching Su Ming, waiting for his decision.

Soon, Su Ming also made a decision and said to everyone.

"Everyone, don’t panic. The terrain here interferes with us greatly and it’s not friendly to the Mechanical Clan either. We may not find anything, and neither may they. But we can’t just sit here waiting, they are in the dark while we are in the light, which puts us at a disadvantage. We must find the enemy now."

"Makes sense, then shall we look together with you?"

Rhein and others spoke up.

"No need, it’s more convenient for me to go alone, and it’s less likely to be ambushed."

Su Ming said to Rhein and others.

"Then you be careful, boss."

Rhein and others knew Su Ming was right.

"Hmm, find a place to hide the Wind Moving and wait for my return."

After speaking, Su Ming turned and left.

...

Shortly after, Su Ming piloted the Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord and initiated Stealth Kill Mode, silently detaching from the Wind Moving and flying towards the distant starry sky.

Su Ming was very cautious, maximized the power of the scanning device, and activated the optical imaging device, continually observing various regions of the starry sky.

In the blink of an eye, ten hours passed and Su Ming was getting tired.

Until now, he hadn’t seen a trace of the Mechanical Clan.

At this moment, a metal flying insect, with metal thin wings and insect-like body shape, flew out from a mass of black star clouds.

The scanning device screen immediately showed a small red dot and popped up a red alert box.

"Warning Scan, Type III Elite Level·Mechanical Flying Insect."

Su Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw it and he immediately piloted the mecha to fly over, getting closer bit by bit.

He wanted to test whether the opponent could discover him.

kilometers!

kilometers!

...

meters!

Su Ming then controlled the mecha to stop and carefully observed the Mechanical Flying Insect. The opponent had no reaction at all, it seemed it hadn’t discovered him.

He then relaxed and followed the Mechanical Flying Insect, continuously flying around in the starry sky.

Time slowly passed.

Seven hours later, the Mechanical Flying Insect no longer turned back and forth but flew straight in one direction.

Su Ming immediately determined that this Mechanical Flying Insect was heading back, as long as he follows, he should be able to find the opponent’s main base.

He decisively piloted the mecha to follow closely.

Whoosh!

The two passed through a terrifying black star cloud one after another.

As time passed, Su Ming’s scanning device gradually scanned several Mechanical Flying Insects, all of which were flying in one direction.

Su Ming’s nerves immediately tightened, becoming extremely cautious.

At this moment, the Shadow Lord entered a black star cloud, the scanning device immediately popped up a large red dot.

"Warning: Scanned Mechanical Clan Vanguard Class Fortress·Black Stone."

Su Ming immediately looked towards the distant starry sky.

Only to see a 100-kilometer long and wide fortress constructed of special black living metal, cube-shaped, coming into view.

Su Ming immediately controlled the mecha to stop, observing this Black Stone Fortress from a long distance.

Inside the Black Stone Fortress central control room.

A humanoid figure, tall and thin, entirely constructed of strange gray metal, whose entire face resembled a metallic mask with eyes emitting a ghostly blue glow, fitted with a third mechanical arm on the left shoulder, and embedded with a ghostly blue metal spark in the chest, a mechanical being·Sator stood in front of a virtual projection screen.
