As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 102 Chariot of Terror
This is just the beginning.

For the next half hour, Xu Yan transformed into a predator in the dark.

First release the "Jelly" stealth detection.

Once they find an armed guard or swamp bandit alone, and are exhausted and bruised in the process of searching for experimental subjects and researchers, they will reveal their flaws.

Immediately start hunting silently.

As long as the hunt is successful, not only can the old residual souls in their sealed cards be transformed into Hongmeng purple energy.

Often, they can obtain dying experimental subjects, and the extremely disordered residual souls within the dying bodies become the best nourishment for the Human Emperor Banner.

A storm arose deep in the brain as the Hongmeng purple energy arose.

The Human Emperor's banner, shrouded in blood-red flames, fluttered in the wind, like a battle flag piercing the sky.

The bloody banner fluttered, and the fragments of memory scattered like flowers from heaven, sparkling brightly in the storm.

"Just what kind of horrific training did I undergo within the Human Emperor Banner?

"Wanhun Sect, what on earth have you transformed me into?"

The ice-cold murderous intent gushed out from the deepest part of the brain, along with boiling blood plasma, filling every nerve, every blood vessel and every muscle fiber.

Xu Yan waved his arms gently.

The fingertips put together and naturally formed a hand knife, tearing the throat of the wilderness bandit as easily as eating and drinking water.

It was like the same deadly move, which he had repeated thousands of times and had already been etched in his memory.

In the system panel, various basic values ​​and the proficiency of skills such as "corpse driving" and "soul controlling" are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Received the enlightenment of merit value.

"Lin" and "Jelly" are also evolving madly.

The former becomes larger and heavier.

The latter has become more transparent and secretive.

Even the "Blade of the Deep" that was parasitic in Xu Yan's right arm took the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits.

The black runes originating from the end of the Styx became more complex and active, emerging from the depths of the flesh and blood to the surface of the skin, and then suspended above the arms, intertwining with each other to form a series of psychic chains, which were wrapped around the end of the "Blade of the Deep", upgrading the black scythe into the Chain Blade of Death, and greatly increasing the attack range.

Half an hour later, all the prey scattered around were devoured by Xu Yan.

He adjusted his strategy, switching from "free hunting" to "focused search", and his target was Director Monk.

Xu Yan believed that he could satisfy the original body's desire for revenge while extracting a lot of interesting information from the old vampire.

Five minutes later, "Jelly" found Director Monk, who was fighting desperately with five researchers in the deepest part of the ground.

Unfortunately, the other party was not seriously injured, and the flames and smoke have not yet invaded this area.

The building structure here is solid and the view is very clear, which makes it inconvenient for Xu Yan to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, at the same time that "Jelly" discovered them, the heavy alloy door was also blasted apart by two strange forces.

Big Boss and Festering Quick stepped in side by side.

The two men opened fire at full power, and the silver spirit's violent murderous intent caused ripples in the void.

Even though he had just drunk several barrels of Hongmeng purple energy "jelly", he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Xu Yan's mind raced as he recalled the "jelly".

Even though his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, he was not ready to hunt down two senior silver-level spirit masters at the same time.

Forget it, while the boss is here, I should go to his office to collect information first.

Xu Yan blended into the darkness silently.

The three-dimensional structural diagram of the underground laboratory shines brightly in my mind.

He had already planned the best route from the laboratory to the office.

Most of the enemies gathered in the core area of ​​the laboratory, and there was a "jelly" floating in front to clear the way. Xu Yan escaped danger and quickly reached the boss's office.

The scene before him made him slightly stunned.

The door to the big boss's office was wide open, and the tables, chairs and filing cabinets were smashed.

Even the safe embedded in the reinforced concrete was opened, and it was empty, without even a piece of waste paper left.

"what happened?"

Xu Yan frowned slightly, walked to the corner along the wall, and stared at a corner of the ceiling.

Earlier, when "Jelly" sneaked in from the ventilation duct above, he sensed that this office was guarded by several powerful guardian spirits.

But now, the card slots of the defense system are empty, and all the seal cards have been pulled out.

There were also shattered filing cabinets and empty safes. Judging from the damage, they were obviously not destroyed by his explosion, but were torn, dismantled and cracked with professional tools after the explosion.

"The big boss took all the confidential documents?"

Xu Yan thought about it and decided that it shouldn’t be the case.

After the big boss took out some documents from the safe, he left the office to meet the Swamp Gang.

He had neither the time nor the motivation to turn back.

Logically speaking, it would be safer and more reasonable to wait until Director Monk's team is firmly under control, all experimental subjects are shipped, and the laboratory is about to be closed before taking the core secrets out of the safe.

“Who could that be?
"Just when the Big Boss and the Swamp Gang were focusing their attention on the out-of-control test subjects and researchers, and I was free to hunt, some mysterious person sneaked into the Big Boss's office and stole all the secrets of this laboratory before I did?"

Xu Yan lowered his hood to hide his eyes, which were gleaming behind his goggles. "Things are getting more and more interesting.

"No, from the very beginning, from the time when 'Silver Tongue' Riley was killed..."

At this moment, a shocking roar suddenly erupted from deep underground.

An extremely dense and murderous aura, like a flood bursting through a dam, surged along the ventilation ducts and penetrated into Xu Yan's nasal cavity and every pore on his body.

It made his brain and intestines wriggle wildly.

“This, this is—

"What a powerful evil spirit! It's like a hundred vengeful spirits gathered together, screaming and singing.

"After swallowing this guy, my spirit control ability will definitely reach the peak of the bronze level, and 'Lin' will also be able to complete her evolution and upgrade from 'Night Swordsman' to an even more terrifying existence!"

If the dozens of old souls that were just devoured were just appetizers.

The evil spirit that gushed out at this moment was a feast like a roasted whole lamb, which made Xu Yan's mouth water and he couldn't stop!

What's more, the boss's confidential information has been obtained by someone else.

He can only go back and find the big boss or Director Monk to find out the identity of his original body and who stole the big boss's confidential information.

Xu Yan licked his lips and shot towards the depths of the earth where the evil spirits were wreaking havoc.

……

At the same time, deep inside the prison.

The big boss held down Director Monk, whose face was bruised and swollen, with a mixture of fear and rage on his face.

"You actually unleashed the Chariot of Terror, you lunatic!"

He grabbed Director Monk's collar and almost shook his head off his neck.

Director Monk looked confused and stammered, "I didn't, I—"

Before he could finish his words, a rusty mechanical claw shot out from the darkness behind him.

The big boss' pupils suddenly contracted and he kicked Director Monk in the chest.

While kicking him towards the mechanical claw, he himself flew backwards more than ten meters.

The mechanical claws were so powerful that the steel instantly embedded itself into the flesh, causing Director Monk's body to emit a series of bone-shattering sounds, and his internal organs turned into blood plasma, which spurted out from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

Director Monk didn't even have time to scream before he was dragged into the unfathomable darkness by the mechanical claws.

"Slurp, snap, snap"!
From the depths of darkness, the sound of a large meat grinder running at high speed could be heard.

A moment later, dense blood mist spurted out from the darkness.

A huge, deep, and hideous outline emerged from the blood mist.

At first glance, it looks like an unmanned six-legged mining machine over three meters tall.

Like a giant reptile cast from steel and iron.

However, upon closer inspection, one could discover that a large amount of substance resembling flesh and blood was gushing out from between its metal connectors.

`Muscles, blood vessels, tendons and nerve clusters covered the surface like vines and moss.

Around the information collection unit standing high above the head, there was a grayish-white substance that looked like a brain, trembling and shrinking and expanding rapidly.

With each contraction and expansion of the "brain" like a heart, a circle of invisible ripples spread to every corner of the underground space, like an omnipresent demonic insect, drilling into everyone's brain.

Regardless of the brainwashed armed guards.

Or he is a cruel and brutal swamp bandit who has killed countless people.

Their brains began to twitch violently.

Countless unforgettable and terrifying illusions flashed before my eyes.

"BDS-441..."

The festering Quick's eyes twitched wildly as he read out the number on the left side of the unmanned mining machine's shell, hidden under the rust and blood stains.

The number aroused his rage.

He stared at the big boss fiercely, saying incredulously, "You actually brought the Chariot of Terror to this damn place?"

"Terror Chariot 441" is a notorious existence in the wilderness area.

It was originally a super enterprise before the Cataclysm, which digested and absorbed the AI ​​technology and bionic mechanical technology of the middle and late Mechanical Age and replicated the automated production tools.

He made great contributions to the reconstruction of civilization after the catastrophe.

Countless shelters and forward bases deep in the wilderness are built with the help of thousands of unmanned mining machines, unmanned excavators, and fully automated construction systems, becoming the cornerstone of the continuous expansion of the Alliance of Heroes.

However, the Scourge of the Old Ones not only affects humans, but also interferes with complex mechanical structures.

In particular, it is an automated precision mechanical body that possesses high computing power and requires machine soul control.

This unmanned mining machine, numbered "BDS-441", originally had a seal card from the Third Age inserted into it. A docile [Short-haired Zebu] served as its machine soul, enhancing its autonomous decision-making capabilities in complex operating environments.

Unfortunately, in a mining disaster caused by the coming of the Old Ones.

A vicious spirit from the First Age, the [Abyss Lizard], drilled into the computing center of DBS-441.

Even worse, mining accidents result in a large number of human deaths.

The fear and despair of these humans before their death, like thousands of wronged souls, tightly entangled the unmanned mining machine, causing it to completely lose control and awaken an extremely crazy free will.
