Upon hearing the piercing alarm, Tongli and Rutaku's expressions both changed.
Rutaku quickly opened his communicator and asked his subordinate stationed at the monitoring center, "What happened? Why is there an alarm?"
"Boss! Our external monitoring is experiencing severe interference, and we can no longer detect the external situation!"
Boom boom boom!
...
Watching the meteorite, dozens of kilometers in diameter, being blasted with a large hole revealing a modified passage inside, Ender couldn't help but think, "These Star Pirates are quite impressive, to actually transform such a large meteorite into a base."
As the Universe Level Instructor led the way into the meteorite, nearly twenty students, including Ender, flew into the meteorite.
...
Following three violent explosions, the entire massive meteorite base shook violently. Many valuable items placed in the treasury fell to the ground, and some fragile items even shattered, drastically reducing their value!
Flying into the air due to the base's tremors, Rutaku immediately shouted, "Report the situation!"
"There were explosions in three locations in the base. The enemies split into three groups and entered the connecting passages, bypassing the automatic defense systems at the entrance!"
"How could this happen?" Hearing this, Rutaku's expression turned extremely grim, his already ferocious face becoming even more terrifying. "Why didn't the scanning radar give a warning!"
"Boss! The enemy's scanning radar is much more Advanced than ours, it blocked our scans, and coupled with the interference to our external monitoring, we didn't detect the enemy!"
"It's most likely the mad dogs from the Molten Rock Empire. Tell the brothers to activate the defense systems." Rutaku first gave orders, then couldn't help but curse, "I told them long ago to upgrade the scanning radar, but those bastards kept holding it up!"
Hearing Rutaku say that the invaders were from the Molten Rock Empire, Tongli's expression suddenly changed, and his left hand involuntarily gripped his right wrist.
He was filled with regret. "Damn it! I should have held back! How could I not control my hands!"
Tongli was a collector; he always liked to collect strange and rare treasures, but most of these items were quite expensive when acquired through legitimate channels.
To collect more treasures at a low price, he once came to the Molten Rock Empire and was introduced to Rutaku, thus becoming a loyal regular customer.
In fact, as a buyer, Tongli, though he also violated the Molten Rock Empire's laws, the penalty would not be very high, completely within his acceptable range.
But this time was different from before; he had an extremely important treasure on him, and as soon as he thought of that treasure, he couldn't help but cover his chest.
He must bring this treasure back to the Ancient Thunder Empire. If he couldn't bring this treasure back, his Family and his Family would die!
As soon as he thought of the severe consequences, Tongli turned to Rutaku and said, "Brother Rutaku, get me out safely."
"Brother Tongli, given our friendship, I really want to help you." Rutaku's words were sincere, but then he changed his tone, "But I can barely protect myself now, and I don't have the extra capacity to help you, my brother."
After speaking, he prepared to leave the treasury but was stopped.
Being stopped, Rutaku's expression was displeased. "Brother Tongli, what do you mean by this?"
"Brother Rutaku, what I said is not a request, but a demand!" Tongli said coldly, "I know which Family in the Ancient Thunder Empire is behind you."
Rutaku's eyes flickered with dangerous light. "You're threatening me!" "It's not a threat, just telling you that my identity is not simple." Tongli said, "As long as you safely get me out, the Delarosa Family will reward you."
"The Delarosa Family!" Rutaku was startled. This was a World Master Level Family of the Ancient Thunder Empire, a powerful Family that had once produced an Immortal!
"Brother Tongli, you should have said earlier that you were from the Delarosa Family." Rutaku smiled, "Come with me, I'll take you to the secret escape exit."
With that, he took out a third-order force battle-axe from his spatial ring and led Tongli towards the secret escape exit.
On the way to the secret escape exit, he opened his communicator to check the base map and found that many areas on it were marked red, indicating they had been invaded by the enemy.
Seeing large red areas on the map, Rutaku couldn't help but complain internally, "Tongli, this guy is from the Delarosa Family, he should have said so earlier, he made me waste so much time!"
After flying continuously for nearly a minute through the base's passages, Rutaku said to Tongli behind him, "Stay close! We might have to pass through an area where the enemy is."
From the map just now, the people from the Molten Rock Empire hadn't broken through to the area they needed to pass through, but given the Molten Rock Empire's tough stance against Star Pirates, there must be Universe Level powerhouses in the assault team!
And Universe Level powerhouses break through defense lines very quickly. The area they were heading to was very likely to be breached by the other side, and there was even a chance of encountering the Molten Rock Empire's assault team.
"If we encounter a Universe Level enemy from the Molten Rock Empire, you don't need to worry about me, just go directly to the secret escape exit." Rutaku transmitted a message after operating his communicator, "I've secretly sent you the secret escape exit and the spaceship. The spaceship's entry password and activation password are the same.
"After you escape, follow the map to the backup base and transfer to another undamaged spaceship to leave."
"Understood!" Tongli transmitted back, "When I safely return to the Ancient Thunder Empire, I will take good care of your Family."
"We're about to enter the enemy area." Rutaku's large mouth curled slightly. This was the sentence he was waiting for!
The two turned into a new passage connection and ran straight into an unfamiliar team.
Seeing this, Rutaku's expression changed, and he decisively transmitted, "Hide well, I'll lead them away."
Ender had just entered a new passage connection with his team when he ran straight into a ferocious-looking crocodile-man, whose aura startled him.
"Universe Level!"
Without much thought, he directly raised the already assembled Heavy Defense Shield in front of him, while the Blood Edge Blade rapidly disassembled and reassembled into an offensive and defensive form, the Three-Bladed Flower.
As soon as the Three-Bladed Flower reassembled behind the Heavy Defense Shield, it was met with a powerful chop from the opposing Universe Level crocodile-man!
The amplitude secret patterns on the third-order force battle-axe were activated, shining with blue light, cutting an arc and chopping down on the Heavy Defense Shield.
Bang!
The Heavy Defense Shield, which was merely a First-Order Spiritual Weapon, was disintegrated, turning into hundreds of black blades that fell to the ground. Although no blades were shattered, some were deformed.
The third-order force battle-axe, which had disintegrated the Heavy Defense Shield, only slightly reduced its momentum and then chopped down on the Second-Order Spiritual Weapon, the Blood Edge Blade's Three-Bladed Flower form.
Bang!
The Second-Order Spiritual Weapon was indeed very strong; the Three-Bladed Flower withstood one blow, but the power on the third-order force battle-axe was extremely terrifying, chopping the Three-Bladed Flower downwards, revealing Ender's chest behind it!
