"Bang!"
Facing the patriarch's stubbornness, Fang Er did not hesitate and pulled the trigger.
The azure ion bullet left the muzzle and, in the next second, turned Lasib Daizi into a cloud of ash.
"Now, answer my question!"
Fang Er, his eyes filled with killing intent, crouched beside the patriarch, pressing the muzzle to his forehead.
He was ready to send him to his grave if they didn't see eye to eye.
But the patriarch remained as defiant as a stubborn duck, showing no signs of fear.
"Hahahaha, come on!"
"Kill me!"
"Whoever doesn't is a coward!"
Fang Er: ............
Damn it, does he really think I can't do anything to him?
He unbuckled the ion gun from his waist and, with two consecutive punches, shattered both of the patriarch's arms.
Amidst the screams, he placed his palm on the patriarch's head.
His rarely used, massive divine sense surged out, penetrating the skull and entering the man's mind.
Xi Tong had used a similar method to erase memories before. He wanted to try reading the patriarch's memories this way.
The images perceived by divine sense were very different from reality.
The memory region of the human brain is the hippocampus, located between the thalamus and the medial frontal lobe, and is part of the limbic system.
Fang Er's divine sense was like a large tree, extending countless root-like tendrils that roamed the patriarch's mind.
The white brain matter, in his perception, was like countless bubbles, each containing an image.
Found it!
By piecing together the useful images, he obtained the answers he desired.
The images traced back to when the Bigge people were first captured.
A new species, piloting a spaceship, descended from the sky and happened to be encountered by a group of Naosu people collecting food.
The process of the Bigge people being captured was very similar to what Lasib Daizi had described. They had indeed brought the Bigge people back to the valley out of good intentions to treat them.
However, after healing, one of the Bigge people took out a strange device and placed it on the forehead of the Naosu person who had treated him.
Then, the two parties began to communicate normally.
That thing turned out to be a translator!
Seeing this, Fang Er suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a similar small device on Chai Shao's forehead.
He didn't know what had been said to the Bigge people, but that wasn't important now; it would be fine to ask him later.
In the patriarch's memories, the Bigge people proposed an offer they couldn't refuse.
The Bigge people were willing to pay a fleet as a price in exchange for the Naosu people capturing the Yanhuang tribesmen for them!
The Yanhuang tribesmen they referred to were Wang Xuance, who had come with them!
Fang Er quickly skipped over unimportant information and soon found the location where the patriarch's memories indicated the Bigge people were housed.
If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Xuance and Lu Benwei would already be escorted there.
He withdrew his divine sense and the hand on the patriarch's forehead, then picked up the transparent clothes the patriarch wore and walked deeper into the cave.
The mountain above was vast. According to the patriarch's memories, the mountain's interior had been hollowed out, with a colossal space capable of housing tens of thousands of people!
The sounds of combat had attracted the attention of other Naosu people. Fang Er had not gone far with the patriarch when he was blocked by a large group of them.
"Damn it, he actually captured the patriarch!"
"Kill him!"
"I knew these yellow-skinned monkeys were no good!"
"That's right, they must have had ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would they bring so much precious material!"
"They must want to win us over first, make us lower our guard, and then do what they want!"
"Kill him and save the patriarch!"
".........."
The Naosu people shouted, raising various weapons and charging towards Fang Er.
Fang Er's lips curled into a cold smile: "With you lot?!"
As his words fell, the ion gun reappeared in his hand, and he pulled the trigger towards the first few individuals.
The weapons held by the Naosu people were mostly made of wood, with hardly any metal products visible.
He had expected to easily slaughter these people but was shocked when his first shot was easily blocked by a wooden shield!
The azure bullet struck the wooden shield and didn't even leave a dent!
This greatly surprised Fang Er!
What kind of wood is this?!
He refused to believe it and fired several more shots, but the leading Naosu person always managed to place the wooden shield in the path of his bullets first!
This is...
This is simply too strange!
If not for his concern for Wang Xuance and the others' safety, Fang Er would have liked to have some fun with these guys.
But the situation was urgent, and he had to end the fight quickly to go and provide support.
He put away the ion gun and casually dropped the patriarch.
With a thought, the newly modified Lichun-class mecha, which had not yet seen combat, appeared out of thin air.
Fortunately, the interior space of the mountain was large enough; otherwise, this thirty-meter-tall mecha might not even fit here!
The cockpit door was open, and he leaped in, using the mecha's legs for leverage several times, moving like a nimble ape climbing rocks, and in a flash, he was inside.
"Lichun-class mecha, at your service!"
After the cockpit door closed, the system prompt within the mecha sounded immediately.
The moment the mecha appeared, the Naosu people were petrified, struck dumb with shock.
It was too sudden!
This was equivalent to a ten-story building suddenly appearing out of nowhere before an ordinary person's eyes; it completely surpassed their understanding.
Good heavens, what in the world is happening!
But Fang Er paid them no mind. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he controlled the mecha, used his toes to hook the patriarch's clothes, and tossed them forward.
In the next moment, the mecha, like a tiger descending from the mountain, followed closely, leaping towards the depths of the cave.
Any Naosu person who blocked his path was sent flying in shock.
Before the patriarch's body could fall, Fang Er, controlling the mecha, caught him in his hand.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The vibrations from the mecha's movement were like war drums beating, and even the mountain trembled slightly.
Outside the mountain's interior, countless debris rolled down the mountainside, and numerous birds and beasts began to flee in a frenzy, as if facing the end of the world.
Each step of the mecha covered dozens of meters. Along the way, numerous alerted Naosu people, facing this colossus, could only watch helplessly from a distance.
All those who dared to approach met one of two fates.
Either they were crushed underfoot, or they were sent flying on the spot.
