Chapter 69 An Active Imprint

That Ironblood Predator who had been captured alive was precisely D'Artagnan's doing. The treant he summoned unleashed vines of extraordinary resilience, comparable to steel cables of the same diameter. However, this was also largely due to the captured Ironblood Predator being a technology engineer.

Fang Senyan walked up to the Ironblood Predator and gazed into its metallic, cold eyes.

"You're unconvinced, aren't you? As a warrior, being captured is a great humiliation. And if nothing else happens, I'll hand you over to those people."

Fang Senyan pointed to the indigenous Earthlings, some bewildered, some dazed, some crying.

"They once had happy lives, stable families, but they were brought to this planet as prey. Their hatred for you is astonishing. In their hands, you will be tortured like a dog, rot, and then be eaten by them in their rage."

While describing this, Fang Senyan spoke slowly and without emotion, trying to ensure that the Ironblood Predator's mask could translate his meaning. Unfortunately, Fang Senyan couldn't detect any emotional fluctuations in the Ironblood Predator's yellow-green eyes. It was still cold, making it a very difficult enemy to deal with.

However, Fang Senyan continued his efforts calmly and steadily:

"However, if you cooperate, I can give you a chance to fight like a warrior. As long as you can defeat your opponent, you can be free. Even if you lose, you can die honorably like a warrior."

At this time, a mechanical, synthesized voice finally emerged from beneath the Ironblood Predator's mask:

"You, want, what?"

Fang Senyan said calmly:

"How did you find us?"

"Every creature on this planet is a prey raised for the sacred coming-of-age ceremony. When they are captured, they are all branded by us, and even modified. Therefore, in the life detectors of the spaceship, your life signals without brands are as clear and undisguised as the Ficus star!" the Ironblood Predator said straightforwardly.

Fang Senyan frowned and said:

"That's impossible! The creatures on this planet can't not reproduce, so what about the young?"

"The brand is directly implanted into your DNA. After being implanted, your body will automatically absorb trace elements and generate a brand that can send special signals. Even if creatures mate, their genes will still be inherited. Our technology is much more powerful than you think!"

The Ironblood Predator said proudly.

Fang Senyan took a deep breath and said:

"Then okay, you brand all of us. Then, I'll give you a chance for a fair fight!"

The Ironblood Predator suddenly made a strange sound, like mockery or sarcasm. His metallic voice clearly reached everyone's ears:

"You actually asked to become prey? Your purpose is to hide among all the prey? So what? Even without Lord Beron's intervention, we'll find you in three days at most! Is it worth it to live three more days?"

A strange smile appeared on Fang Senyan's face:

"I need these three days of buffer time. Make your decision."

The Ironblood Predator said in a low voice:

"Okay, I promise you! Your strength also has the honor of becoming prey!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Senyan and the others felt uncomfortable. What the hell does "the honor of becoming prey" mean...? It's like someone wants to kill you, and you have to be grateful, thanking them for thinking highly of you to kill you... What kind of thing is that?

After finishing speaking, the Ironblood Predator stretched out his bound hands. Fang Senyan wasn't afraid of him playing tricks, so he snapped his fingers at D'Artagnan, and the vines quickly slid away like worms, giving the Ironblood Predator freedom.

The Ironblood Predator moved his body and steadily walked to the portable medical repair box. Then, he took out a tube of light purple solvent from the inner layer and handed it to Fang Senyan, saying:

"Take a sip, your DNA will be slightly changed, and your body will automatically absorb relevant minerals and elements. Then, within two hours, a scar will appear on your body surface. This scar is the prey brand."

Fang Senyan took it without hesitation and took a sip. With his physique, even cyanide wouldn't kill him. Besides, although Ironbloods are bloody and cruel, they are a powerful race that doesn't bother to lie, so they can be trusted.

Next, the released Ironblood Predator began to select weapons and organize equipment. Finally, he was ready and turned to look at Fang Senyan:

"Who is my opponent?"

Fang Senyan turned around, looked around, and smiled:

"You can choose any of us six."

The Ironblood Predator clenched his fist, and then the wrist blade ejected with a "clang," emitting a cold light, pointing at Fang Senyan from afar:

"I, choose, you!"

Fang Senyan said with slight surprise:

"If you choose me, then there's almost no chance of winning."

The Ironblood said coldly:

"Battle is about honor, not victory or defeat. If you want to fight, then of course you have to fight the strongest!"

Fang Senyan was slightly moved after hearing this, and there was also respect in his eyes. After he came out, he looked at the Ironblood Predator in front of him, stretched out his hand, and said seriously:

"Please!"

The outcome of this battle was of course beyond doubt.

After resisting two laser blasts head-on, Fang Senyan rushed forward and snapped the Ironblood Predator's neck very simply.

During the battle, Fang Senyan also tested the effect of his virus on the Ironblood Predator. The result was not optimistic.

Because the Ironblood Predator's internal structure, immune system, and other aspects are different from humans, and there is also a mask to filter, the onset of the disease was prolonged, and the symptoms were also reduced. This is not to say that the Virus Monarch is not effective, but the enemy is too strange, and Fang Senyan has too few diseases to master.

As mentioned earlier, it's like encountering a freak who breathes through their skin despite having a virus a hundred times more powerful, or encountering a bastard without a stomach despite having a stubborn stomach cancer... How embarrassing is that?

However, one piece of good news is that once the battle time is prolonged, as the A virus erodes the Ironblood immune system, the effect of the virus can be expected to get better and better. Therefore, if you want to consider fighting against the high-level Ironblood powerhouse, Fang Senyan's best choice is to extend the battle time as much as possible. As time goes by, the balance of victory will tilt more towards Fang Senyan.

In the post-war inventory, these most basic Ironblood Star people did not leave Fang Senyan and the others with any valuable spoils, but Fang Senyan still asked Android One to bring an Ironblood mask and cut off the left arms of all the dead Ironblood Predators.

Because two more androids were lost in the raid, in order to bring what Fang Senyan requested without affecting the speed of travel, they had to abandon materials worth at least 100,000 universal points. However, Fang Senyan's prestige had already taken root in people's hearts. Although he didn't explain, no one said anything more.

Of course, another very important reason for Fang Senyan and the others to stay here was to free up time to use the pulverization refiner to refine the large pile of palladium ore that those ten-strongest experimental subjects used as bets. The refined palladium element was classified as spoils and could be put into a private storage space.

Now that various things have been taken care of, the refining of palladium ore is also nearing completion, with a maximum of ten minutes left. Although those humans had shown a very unfriendly attitude before, Fang Senyan still instructed D'Artagnan to provide them with some help.

Fang Senyan's purpose in instructing this was also profound: first, everyone is human, and second, they also hate the Ironblood Star people. If they recover, it would be best if they could cause more trouble for the Ironblood Star people who arrive next.

However, soon, D'Artagnan sent a message to Fang Senyan:

"Boss, that Skull Man Tom is not dead! He wants to see you."

Fang Senyan's eyes narrowed. To be honest, that guy made a deep impression on Fang Senyan, because he was the only one who could completely suppress his enemy in close combat relying solely on personal skills.

Not only that, but it was also surprising that this guy could survive. At that time, a full five Ironblood Predators launched a concentrated fire attack on him with shoulder cannons. Anyone who knows a little about thermal weapons must know that the damage caused by such five high-energy laser concentrated fires is definitely not a simple 5+5+5+5+5 calculation of the power of 5 lasers, but a potentially 5 to the fifth power of the actual effect!

Therefore, at the thought of this, Fang Senyan's curiosity greatly increased, and he also intended to take a look. For the sake of caution, he also specially called Ronnie.

At this time, the half-dead spaceship was also destroyed by the Ironblood Predators, but the rooms inside were at least more comfortable than outside. In the complex eyes of those indigenous humans next to him, Fang Senyan stepped into Skull Man's room.

As soon as he saw Skull Man, Fang Senyan immediately understood why he could survive, because the strange organ in this guy's chest had begun to proliferate terrifyingly, just like the solar staircase, growing along his blood vessels and penetrating into his entire body. As a result, striped growths appeared on the surface of his body, which looked shocking.
