Swallowed Star

by Alexander Buchanez

  "Alright, let's see where Li Yao and his group are and what they're doing!" Luo Feng put on his backpack and swiftly dashed out of the cave.

  .....

  On the wastelands.

  "Moved, Luo Feng moved" yelled Klein with excitement.

  Li Yao's eyes flashed on the side, but he continued to watch the radar in silence.

  .....

  In the mountain range.

  Luo Feng was in the mountain range, his eyes were cold: "Hm, if I have a chance, I'll cruelly punish them again. I killed quite a few people just then. Oh yea, they seemed to have brought a bunch of crates with them. They came all the way from Europe to kill me and even brought so many crates with them. Those crates must be something valuable, so I'll destroy them too"

  "WAIT!"

  Luo Feng suddenly stopped as he stooped on the mountain, his face changing dramatically.

  "Crates?"

  "Crates? They came here from tens of thousands of km away and brought a bunch of crates with them? And they treated those crates with extreme care?" as Luo Feng thought to himself, all the hairs on his body stood up, "If, if I was Li Yao, and I wanted to kill a spirit reader..... what would I do to raise my chances?"

  "As long as spirit readers can fly, Li Yao wouldn't be able to kill them no matter how powerful he is"

  "Only two weapons can threaten a wargod level spirit reader...... Nuclear bombs and laser cannons" Luo Feng's face changed dramatically, "This, this Li Yao actually, actually brought a laser cannon here?"

  Luo Feng was only a 19 year old youth.

  Even though China's education broadened one's horizons, Luo Feng subconsciously thought...... that the 'laser cannon' and 'nuclear bomb' were the two ultimate heated weapons of humanity, their last resort against monsters. How could he have thought that Li Yao would use a laser cannon against himself?

  However--

  When Luo Feng thought about how to deal with a spirit reader from Li Yao's point of view, he deduced-- it could only be a laser cannon. With all the crates he saw, this is an accurate guess!

  "According to what I learned in physics class, laser cannons are restricted in many ways. Usually, laser cannons can only attack freely when they're on an aircraft"

  "And when they're on the ground, the spheroid shape of the earth causes the surface to be curved too"

  Various information about the laser cannon quickly appeared in Luo Feng's mind. Keep in mind that when Luo Feng was still in school, his strongest subject was science...... If he didn't faint in the middle of his math exam during his high school exams, Luo Feng's test scores would probably be high enough for him to get into the best school. Adding to that, countless men are curious about the laser cannon, so many of them know a lot about it.

  "Now....."

  "I definitely can't show my head!"

  "Thankfully, this large mountain is blocking, so they can't do anything for now. But once I show my head, they'll probably kill me instantly!" a cold sweat appeared on Luo Feng's forehead.

  Fear!

  The laser cannon was too powerful. First, the speed. The laser cannon attacks at the speed of light! Under the speed of light, Luo Feng would probably be blasted to smithereens before he can even attempt to conjure up the thought of dodging. Next, is power. After the laser cannon's power rose to the extreme through research, humanity has been able to fight equally against monsters.

  "This Li Yao, sure is insane"

  "He brought so many crates. What could it be, if not a laser cannon? Other machines are useless against spirit readers and in wargod level battles"

  "Escape!"

  "The thing I need to do now is to run away as far as I can. Laser cannons are restricted by distance, so once the distance becomes too great, they won't be able to locate me" Luo Feng didn't want to reveal himself to check them anymore. It's not a check..... it's a risk! Who knows whether or not Li Yao has the laser cannon aimed at him right now?

  Once he reveals himself, he'll be killed!

  "Where should I go?" Luo Feng immediately looked at the tactical communications watch on his wrist and brought up a satellite mapping of his surroundings.

  Through the mapping, Luo Feng clearly understood the geography of his surroundings.

  "Li Yao and his group are north of the mountain range, so I should run towards the south as fast as possible! Since a huge mountain is in between us, they won't be able to attack me for a moment's time"

  "This..... around 3 km away from the mountain range is a river!"

  "Water can refract light, and when the attack of a laser cannon blasts on a river, it'll evaporate lots of water and become refracted. This will use up a huge amount of its energy..... once I'm deep into the river, I'll be safe" Luo Feng was clear, that the laser cannon was most afraid of weather conditions like rain and mist. And he was going to be under a river.

  Against a laser cannon, water would do a much better job of blocking than rock and steel.

  "Along this river.... 260 km, a huge lake can be reached"

  "This lake, according to the satellite mapping, has an area of around 100 km squared" said Luo Feng to himself with happiness. The continent of Australia always had many large lakes. Especially because of the sea type monsters invasion into the continent, many large lakes were formed. These large lakes are usually the home of various sea type monsters.

  "In the middle of this lake is an island that's around 20 to 30 km squared"

  "Yup, I'll go along the river and enter the lake. Then I'll go through the lake and reach the island!" thought Luo Feng to himself, "a distance of 200 km, there's no way the laser cannon can hit me when I'm that far, unless I fly up to an extremely high altitude. And the lake surrounding the island poses no threat to me. But Li Yao can't fly, so he can only swim through the water......"

  After thinking about that, he proceeded to--

  Run!

  Luo Feng swiftly jumped down and went along the valley below as he quickly headed south.

  .....

  Wasteland, Li Yao's group.

  "How come he's not moving?" elite members of all skin colors were all surprised. Even Li Yao frowned. Before, they were extremely excited when they saw the little bright dot rush up the mountain in the radar's display. After all, every single person here probably wants to kill Luo Feng!

  If they kill Luo Feng, they will have money to earn, and they will be able to avenge the dead.

  "He turned back!" exclaimed Klein.

  "He's not turning back, he's escaping towards the south" wargod James' face changed as he followed.

  Indeed, the bright dot on the radar display was swiftly headed south.

  Li Yao stayed silent.

  Slowly.....

  "Mr. Li, the target has already escape the mountainous region and is continuously headed south!" said Klein hurriedly.

  "This sly kid" Li Yao squinted.

  Li Yao started to suspect..... that Luo Feng guessed that he brought out a laser cannon. Even though the usual person can't make such a guess, but with Li Yao's understanding of Luo Feng..... the youth named Luo Feng is extremely cautious and sly. It seems like killing this Luo Feng will be no easy task.

  "James" said Li Yao in a low tone.

  "Li" James looked at Li Yao, his face changing slightly.

  Could it be.....

  That this Li Yao wants him to go deal with Luo Feng? That horrifying kid instantly killed his partner and Bei Yuan Gang, which caused James to lose all will to fight and oppose him.

  "Bring my men and carefully transport this laser cannon to a mountain in the mountain range over there. Pick a location that can aim towards the south!" commanded Li Yao, "Remember, be careful. Do not let the laser cannon get damaged no matter what"

  James couldn't help but to let out a sigh of relief.

  "No worries, this distance is basically nothing. And we also have so many people here" said James confidently. Moving a laser cannon across a distance of hundreds of km is a difficult task, but the distance they're
moving it across is only a few km. For a wargod and many warlord level fighters, this task is nothing difficult.

  "Good" Li Yao looked towards Klein, "Klein, remember, once you get the chance, kill Luo Feng. As for the safety here..... James will be responsible for it"

  "No worries" nodded James.

  "Klein, you contact me about Luo Feng's position" commanded Li Yao.

  "Yes" responded Klein.

  With a movement of Li Yao's body, he transformed into a blurry, black image as he disappeared into the distance. With his horrifying mach 2 speed, it only took him a few seconds to reach the Ape Mountain Range that was a few km away.

  .....

  Luo Feng wasn't as fast as Li Yao, but once he goes all out with his spiritual force's support, his speed was over 500 m/s. After charging out of the mountain range, Luo feng entered the large river that was around 10 meters wide.

  Since it's only 10 meters wide, the monsters in the river aren't powerful.

  The truly powerful water type monsters live in large lakes or in the sea.

  "Whoosh!"

  Luo Feng lay on his hexagonal shield in the water as he controlled the buoyancy. At the same time, his spiritual force worked on his battle boots, producing a powerful propulsion force of over 200,000 kg!

  Whoosh!

  Luo Feng swiftly zipped through the river faster than a torpedo

  .....

  Li Yao, who just charged out of Ape Mountain Range, howled towards his tactical communications watch: "Where is Luo Feng?"

  "Mr. Li, there is a river 3 km ahead of you. Luo Feng is swiftly headed towards the south along that river!" while that sound still rang, Li Yao used his astonishing speed to rush towards the river. Sonic booms could be heard everywhere he ran by, scaring away quite a few monsters as a result.

  He charged towards the river and swiftly sprinted towards the south along the river bank.

  In just a moment, Li Yao and Luo Feng have both advanced dozens of km.

  "Where is Luo Feng?" asked Li Yao again.

  "Mr. Li, the target is too far. The radar can't even detect Luo Feng" Klein's voice carried from the tactical communications watch.

  Li Yao couldn't help but to stop.

  "What? Can't be detected anymore?"

  Li Yao looked at the sparkling, flowing river in front of him. How should he know where Luo Feng is. As he clenched his teeth, he dialed his wife Venina's number, "Venina, quick, give Luo Feng's new phone number to me"

  And around 8 km away from Li Yao under the river.....

  Luo Feng, like a torpedo, swiftly moved forward in the river.

  Chapter 146: Unforeseen Event

  "What do you want his phone number for?" Venina's voice carried from the tactical communications watch.

  "Hurry, don't waste time" urged Li Yao.

  Venina's voice had a bit of anger tied within: "Yao, you better not mess around. If you want to confirm Luo Feng's position, you should do it through me. Even if you can confirm his location by dialing Luo Feng's number, Luo Feng will be able to discover your location too!"

  "And if you call him, it'll raise his suspicions" Venina was unamused, "I'll figure out a way to get his location to you"

  Li Yao frowned, he knew his wife was right.

  "Alright, hurry" urged Li Yao.

  .....

  Paris headquarter city, a large room.

  Three laptops were opened at the same time, and two men and one woman were each sitting in front of them. Venina stood on the side as she commanded: "Use Luo Feng's home number to call Luo Feng"

  "Yes"

  Through their software, it was easy for them to make Luo Feng's tactical communications watch display the number they want it to.

  "Madam, coordinates confirmed" said the black woman.

  "Send it to the mister" commanded Venina.

  .....

  Li Yao, who was standing on the riverbank, couldn't help but to sneer as he looked at the coordinates he just received: "So he was only a few dozen km away from me"

  For wargods, a few dozen km is nothing.

  Fighters like wargods, especially powerful ones whose bodies are who knows how many more times tougher than diamond, have fist strengths of hundreds of thousands of kg. Not even bullets fired from a sniper rifle can pierce their skin. Advanced organisms like them..... are definitely human weapons who pose a greater threat than an entire army.

  Whoosh!

  Like lightning, he chased towards Luo Feng's position.

  While he was chasing, Luo Feng was also advancing under water.

  With Luo Feng's beginner wargod fitness level, he could hold his breath underwater for nearly half an hour. Even normal people can hold their breath underwater for a few minutes, so it is normal for Luo Feng to be able to handle half an hour.

  "Hm?"

  "My tactical communications watch vibrated?" Luo Feng glanced at his tactical communications watch with confusion. This is a tactical communications watch that came with his 9th series battle uniform, waterproof is but a tiny function, "the display shows that this call is from home?"

  "That's not right, I didn't even give my family my new phone number?"

  Luo Feng was confused.

  Luo Feng was using this new phone number as bait to catch the Vulture Scorpion couple, so he didn't tell his family members. He communicates with his family via the cell phone he bought!

  "My parents are normal people. If they wanted to contact me, they could just call my cell phone. How could they go through so many steps to get my number from the elite training camp and then call me?" Luo Feng was clear, that it wasn't hard for someone else to get a certain phone number to show on a tactical communications watch's display.

  "Trying to find me through my phone number?"

  "Sorry"

  Luo Feng grinned and pressed the off button. He held it down--

  Beep!

  The tactical communications watch directly turned off.

  To prevent others from calling his number to find out his location, there are two ways-- 1. Throw away the tactical communications watch and separate it from the user. They can find the tactical communication watch's position, but not the owner's. 2. Take out the battery or turn it off.

  Power it off! Once it's off, the tactical communications watch is just a piece of metal.

  .....

  On the riverbank.

  "Coordinates?"

  "I'm asking you, where are the coordinates?" Li Yao couldn't help but to roar, his face was fierce.

  The tactical communications watch's display showed Venina as she shook her head, "Yao, that Luo Feng already turned off his tactical communications watch"

  "What do you mean?" Li Yao's eyes seemed like they were about to shoot out flames.

  "Can't locate Luo Feng anymore" Venina shook her head.

  Li Yao clenched his fists in anger, can't locate? He hurriedly crossed tens of thousands of km from Europe with a group of people and, right when he arrived, his men were killed by Luo Feng. And now, Luo Feng turned off his tactical communications watch. Now that he can't locate Luo Feng, he can't even locate him, and don't even mention killing him!

  All for nothing!

  ALL FOR NOTHING!

  "BASTARD, BASTARD" Li Yao was so mad that the veins on his forehead were bursting.

  When Li Yao lost track of Luo Feng, it was already night time. The sky was dark, and a triangular fighter jet was flying in the skies of Australia at an alarming speed.

  In the fighter jet was one pilot and two passengers.

  "That Li Yao sure is cruel. He got a laser cannon out just to deal with Luo Feng" out of the two passengers, a tall, large brute laughed loudly. Beside him was a skinny Indian with slightly curly hair, who said in his accented Chinese: "He's completely crazy, so he doesn't care about the method"

  "Hehe, Puka, you can speak Chinese?" complimented the large brute.

  The Indian slightly smiled and said nothing.

  "Hehe, laser cannon. Truthfully, even th
ough I have reached this level already, I haven't actually seen a laser cannon after all these years" the brute couldn't help but to sigh, "I guess the Paulinus family aren't arms dealers for show. Through their control over weapons, they even got a laser cannon"

  "Hmph"

  The Indian said with a hmph, "They privately sell out quite a few nuclear bombs and laser cannons"

  Suddenly, the fighter jet's speed decelerated rapidly.

  "We're here" the large brute stood up, "Puka, get ready to get off"

  "Ok" the Indian nodded slightly.

  .....

  On a mountain in Ape Mountain Range, James and the elites from the Paulinus family were currently resting. At this time, a black, triangular fighter jet appeared in the sky.

  When he saw this fighter jet, James' face changed.

  "It's the Dojo of Limits' fighter jet" exclaimed James.

  "Dojo of Limits" quite a few other elite fighters recognized it.

  As of now, fighter jets were usually disc shaped. Triangular shaped fighter jets were usually less effective than disc shaped ones. However..... only the triangular fighter jets manufactured by the Dojo of Limits possess an extremely high level of attack power. They were the best fighter jets on earth.

  The American government, European government, etc. all wanted the Dojo of Limits to make their fighter jet manufacturing techniques public.

  Sadly, Hong ignored them.

  So, these types of fighter jets have basically become a symbol of the Dojo of Limits.

  "Isn't that James?"

  The hatch opened and two figures jumped down from midair, landing on the mountain.

  "Puka? Tie Zong?" James was astonished. Wargods all join the Palace of Wargods, so James, a wargod, recognized these two famous people.

  "James, who are they?" the other elite fighters were in a panic.

  It seems like these two people weren't regular people.

  "The world alliance bans people from using the laser cannons against other people" the large brute scanned the crowd. The crowd of elite fighters felt like a laser hit their eyes and were in extreme pain, "Following the command of the head, we'll be taking away this laser cannon!"
