Human Federation, Level 5 Self-Circulation City, Iron Mountain City.

Fuyuan Baoqi Pavilion Headquarters.

In the conference room on the top floor, an impromptu meeting was held urgently.

One by one, the company's senior executives appeared here with holographic projections.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received news that our exploration team is in big trouble with the Beihai Relics Project." The middle-aged chairman in a suit and leather shoes said to everyone with a solemn face.

Hearing this, everyone present frowned.

"It's our company's competitor, playing black?"

"What happened to the exploration team? Pirate? Local warlords? Or terrorists? Someone asked.

Drip~

The remote control button is pressed.

A hologram looms over the conference table, a pirate warship with a blood-colored sword-wielding banner on it.

"It's the Bloody Pirates." The chairman of the board of directors said in a deep voice, "Its head is the 'Lava Emperor' Dumitru Legisamon, one of the Five Emperors of the North Sea. The 79th team under his command plundered the Naga maritime city 'Snowgar', and the captain of the team, Alex, the 6th rank of the king, and the vice-captain Basil, the 4th rank of the king, are all true king-level powerhouses. ”

"The exploration team was attacked, and now the communication has been cut off, and the fate of 289 team members is unknown."

Bang!

The table was pounded.

"Presumptuous! Are these damn pirates trying to blackmail the Treasure Pavilion? Someone was furious and said indignantly, "It's really our company easy to bully, right?" ”

The person on the side shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"This is no ordinary pirate... The Five Emperors are the overlords of the North Sea, and the emperor-level powerhouses have the strength to destroy the country alone. The seven small countries of the North Sea did not dare to provoke the pirates of the Five Emperors at all. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the Treasure Qi Pavilion was silent.

As a world-renowned business group, the company has a strong strength...... That's true.

However, Emperor Class!

This is not something that money can handle.

In the People's Alliance, the means used to deal with enemies at and below the king level are all conventional force.

On top of that, there are also "tactical-grade" weapons that can deal with Saint-King creatures.

And the mecha and weapons above the emperor level are all "strategic level".

Strategic weapons are all prepared for the next celestial confluence, and they are the lifeblood of the entire human race.

It is impossible to activate it until it is absolutely necessary.

In other words, even if the Baoqi Pavilion asked for help from the Human Federation, it would be impossible for the Human Alliance military to mobilize an Emperor Mecha and go all the way to the North Sea to destroy the Lava Emperor of the Blood Skeleton Pirates......

Baoqi Pavilion is just a private company, although it also has an official background, but after all, it is just a group of businessmen doing business.

"It's too much, what do the Naga government forces eat? We spent so much money on the ruins project, didn't we say that the Naga Navy would provide safe haven for our exploration team? And that's the result? As soon as the pirates came, they all ran away away! ”

"It's just a small team of the Bloody Pirates, and they don't dare to fight? What a cowardice, blanch! "Someone was furious.

These aliens are so shameless, treacherous, smiling when they collect money, and they speak nicely, and when they really encounter tricky trouble, they will sell you when they turn around!

"It's all quiet." The chairman shouted in a deep voice.

He glanced at the crowd with a majestic gaze, and said, "I have already contacted the official of the United Nations, and the above will condemn and put pressure on the Five Emperors of Beihai." ”

"Condemnation? There is a fart to condemn, it is unreasonable to talk to terrorists, we have to send the army to suppress it with iron and blood, otherwise our project will be cold! One of them snorted coldly, "The pirates will definitely take over the ruins and blackmail us." ”

"It's not cold, don't worry. We now have two options. The chairman said to everyone, "First, use your connections to negotiate with the Lava Emperor, prepare a ransom, pay some 'protection money', and turn a big thing into a small thing." Second, find a mercenary empire and spend money to hire a mercenary army to suppress it. ”

The Mercenary Empire is a relatively special country. The composition of the country is complex, there are all ethnic groups, all the people are soldiers, do not produce, specialize in providing mercenary services to foreign countries, as long as you give money, they will help you fight.

"The second one!" Someone made a decision without hesitation and said categorically, "Lao Tzu is not compromising, after paying a ransom, everyone will think that our Baoqi Pavilion is easy to bully, and think that we are fat sheep without fangs, and we can be slaughtered if we want." ”

"Yes, that's right. Once compromised, there will be a second and a third. Pay a fart protection fee, money, we have it, but we can't be blackmailed or blackmailed, it's too humiliating. I'm not so angry, even if this project is scrapped, Lao Tzu will be tough with them to the end! ”

"Yes, instead of paying the ransom, let's hire mercenaries and drive away these greedy stinky pirates."

There were several big names on the list of the richest people in the United Nations of People's Republic of China, all of whom were bigwigs who rivaled the country, and the major shareholders of Baoqi Pavilion were just one of their many identities, and they also had industries in other fields.

The rich have a big temper, they don't want to be blackmailed, and they would rather lose money than compromise.

Lao Tzu is so rich, why do you threaten me with money?

Even if the project is cold and Lao Tzu loses tens of billions of blood, it is impossible to earn you a ransom of one dollar.

"Ahem... Calm down, everyone, you are all in business, don't get along with money, everyone is a businessman, don't be rash. ”

Of course, the shareholders of Baoqi Pavilion are not all super-rich people who don't care about money.

Someone hurriedly stood up and played a round: "This project has to be saved, hundreds of employees of the exploration team, we also have to think of saving them, let's get rid of our anger, listen to what the chairman says." ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped arguing and looked at the chairman of Baoqi Pavilion.

"Don't forget, in this ruin, there is probably a legendary treasure, which cannot be measured by money."

The chairman said in a deep voice: "My idea is to negotiate with the blood pirates and drag on time; On the one hand, he asked the mercenary empire to send troops over and rescue the hundreds of people in the exploration team first. ”

"The pirates are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, so they dare to do evil in the North Sea, bullying and bullying seven small countries.

Afterwards, we asked the allied forces to come forward to deter the Lava Emperor and let the pirates retreat, and the ruins are still ours. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and no one objected to this plan.

All in all, rescue a few hundred members of the exploration team first.

Anyway, the ruins can't run, and the engineering team will go to mine later, which will have little impact.

"The strength of the Blood Skeleton Pirates should not be underestimated, and the mercenary empire is estimated to be a lion with a big mouth, what do you say in terms of budget?" Someone asked.

After all, it is a businessman, interests come first, and costs must be considered.

"Five tens of billions, how?" The chairman pondered for a few seconds, then gave a number.

As soon as the words fell, someone at the scene frowned.

Just to save the exploration team of hundreds of people, it cost 50 billion to hire mercenaries, obviously, many people are distressed.

"Add another 20 billion to the budget." Suddenly, a major shareholder said lightly, "Don't worry, this is my personal contribution, and it doesn't cost the company's money, as for you, just feel free." ”

Don't ask, asking is rich and capricious.

"Hmph, I will also add 20 billion, personal contribution." On the other side, another super-rich man waved his hand, "Lao Tzu just doesn't like the pirates, money is not a problem, just hire an elite army to go over and clean up that bunch of garbage!" ”

"Hey, I'm with you, add 10 billion to the budget."

……

In the blink of an eye, the budget has risen from 50 billion at the beginning to 130 billion yuan.

Everyone present couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

… I didn't dare to speak.

These big guys are really inhuman.

In this way, at any cost, the money is thrown, and the individual is obligated to contribute.

Even if the excavation of this relic project is successfully completed, it will not make much money for them.

If the project is cold, it will lose a lot of blood.

But people don't care.

Thirteen billion, the mercenary empire must be crazy with joy.

Even if the Blood Skeleton Pirates have an emperor-level background, they dare to be tough.

Soon, the discussion ended.

The chairman turned his head and told the secretary to contact the mercenary empire.

But the North Sea is so far away that even if you hire mercenaries, it will take you hours to get there.

Hopefully, the exploration team will hold out until help arrives.

Otherwise...... I can only destroy the seventy-nine teams of the Bloody Pirates and avenge them.

Anyway, it is impossible to spend money to ransom people, and it is impossible to give money to pirates to feed dogs, this is the bottom line.

If Baoqi Pavilion still wants to mix on the world stage, it can't be weak, and it must have the courage of "money is down, and if you don't accept it, you can do it".

If you behave weakly and deceively, any cat or dog will dare to pounce on you and bite you in the future.

50,000 meters under the sea, in the ancient city of the Demon Race.

Boom Boom Boom Boom –

The magic cannon roared, and thick magical beams locked onto the sea giant, gathering fire.

The monstrous chariot of evil energy swathed in black flames and launched a death dash towards Basil.

"Drink!"

The sea giant roared, his body was indestructible, and he actually carried the bombardment of the puppet army, charging forward with great strides, and the majestic body of six meters and six meters high ran wildly, and the ground shook the mountains.

He held an overlord hammer in each of his two giant arms and flung it towards his chest, and the huge hammer head slammed into each other.

Bang~

The Overlord hammers collided with each other, and in an instant, terrifying shock waves and sound waves formed a tsunami that swept in all directions.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, pieces of ancient buildings were all destroyed and razed to the ground, boulders shattered in the sound waves, and puppets and traps exploded one after another.

'Poof~'

Kurus, the sheep-headed man, vomited blood from his mouth, and his eardrum ruptured and bled out.

Above the king level, the gap between each small rank is very huge.

The Sea Giant is a true king-level creature, two orders higher than Curus, and its combat power is too fierce to be defeated at all.

"It's time to withdraw...... If you don't leave, the old man will die. ”

After being wounded, Kurus let out a low groan, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then turned his head to look at the entrance of the dungeon.

Although it is said to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others.

But the enemy's strength is too strong, and he can't eliminate this disaster.

He fought with his life, crossed the 2nd order and forcibly fought, dragging the pirates for more than ten minutes, and he was already benevolent and righteous.

He no longer hesitated, and immediately pinched the trick with both hands, his face was solemn, and he recited a spell in his mouth.

Airplanes~

The magic element is surging, and the evil energy is surging.

On the battlefield, the wreckage of a puppet automatically flew up, re-condensed and assembled, forming a six-meter-long magic trap bird, like a fighter plane.

Phew-

Kurus flew up and into the cockpit, and the bird roared into the sky, plunging headlong into the "sea" overhead, and fled.

Basil, the sea giant, has an amazing jumping power, but he can't fly.

I could only watch the sheep-headed man run away, unable to chase him.

If it is purely superior to the physical body, the giant clan is actually not weaker than the dragon clan, and the ancient giants and titan giants can even engage in hand-to-hand combat and fight with the dragon.

But in terms of magic, the Giants are very bad, completely crushed by the Dragons.

"Hmph, gutsless rats."

Basil pouted in displeasure and no longer bothered with the defeated men who had fled.

He turned to look at the entrance of the dungeon, and said with a cruel smile: "The little sheep have all run in, chase me, if you surrender, you will stay alive in exchange for ransom, as for the rebels...... Lawfully kill on sight! ”

"Oh roar roar roar roar~"

"Rush Rush!"

"The hunt has begun, brothers!"

The pirates laughed wildly, swarmed in, rushed to the dungeon, and chased the expedition.

Nearly 300 members of the exploration team were divided into three routes, fleeing from three directions: left, center and right.

The pirates also divided their troops to pursue, intending to catch turtles in the urn.

************

West side of the underground palace.

More than 80 people were running, and the fighters were guarding the ends of the head and tail, the people in front of them were out of the way, and the people behind were in the back.

Ding Xuezhu, Lu Xun, and more than a dozen other ordinary people who had no combat effectiveness were protected in the middle.

This dungeon is too big.

Ten minutes, they went eight kilometers deep into it.

But there is still no end in sight.

"Xiao Lu, don't be afraid, the team members will protect us." Ding Xuezhu took Lu Xun's hand, comforted him, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry to pull you into this project." ”

A high school student, who has just turned 18 years old, has not had time to enjoy the excitement of this world, but now he is facing a life-and-death crisis...... She was genuinely guilty.

"No need to apologize, I'm an adult, it's my choice."

Lu Xun shook his head and said in a flat tone: "I won't regret it, you don't have to feel guilty." ”

He was telling the truth.

This trip to the ruins, he is not for money, but for characteristic points, in order to become stronger!

The pirates are coming, Beihai is already chaotic, and he is not unprepared.

This crisis is a desperate situation for others, but for Lu Xun, it is just a small problem.

Because until this moment, his "heavenly sense" and the intensity of the crisis he fed back were far from reaching the level of "fatal".

If he wanted to run, he slipped away.

In the battle outside just now, Lu Xun carefully observed the sea giant Basil.

The strength of this true king powerhouse is terrifying, and in the same realm, he is estimated to be stronger than the red ghost.

But in terms of speed, Lu Xun is faster, and the "god speed" of lv18!

… This sea giant can't even fly, a pure reckless barbarian.

It was someone else, not him, whose life was in danger.

His immortal body is much better than that of Rablais, the Earl of the Blood Clan.

Although it is not yet to the level of "blood rebirth", as long as there is 10% of the flesh and blood tissue in the body that is not completely destroyed, it will not die.

Ordinary cell-like carbon-based organisms have a ruined body and a person dies.

But Lu Xun's life form has long become strange.

Even if his head is moved, broken, and his body is dismantled in 800 pieces, it can be repaired in an instant.

Later, when the immortal body becomes stronger, he can cut off the appendix and hide it, in case he is killed and his body is completely destroyed, he can also rely on that appendix to resurrect.

What is "immortality"? It's literal.

Even if he faced the sea giant and had a battle, he would have the confidence to escape.

He can't beat Basil, but Basil wants to kill him, which is also more difficult than ascending to the sky.

But Lu Xun was reluctant to leave.

He had to go deep into the dungeon first to make sure there were any emperor-level dragons.

If there is, it must be parsed and must not be missed.

Otherwise, the remains of the dragon will be taken away by the pirates, or destroyed, which will definitely make people sigh and regret it for a hundred years.

Emperor-level dragons, millions of characteristic points are still secondary, the key is the racial characteristics of the dragon, which makes Lu Xun extremely greedy.

He has the ability to protect himself and is not afraid of sea giants at all.

What he was afraid of was that the other party was going to grab the remains of the dragon with him...... He would not allow it.

If the goal of this group of pirates was to capture the exploration team, he would have endured it.

If he dared to rob his dragon, it was tantamount to robbing his wife, and Lu Xun couldn't bear it a little.

Definitely find a way to kill them!

Today there was an accident in my house, my mother was injured and hospitalized, and her tendon was broken. I'm in the hospital, my phone code word, update with fate.

I'm sorry.
