Chapter 17 Why Are You Speaking On Your Knees?

```

Boom boom boom!

A series of dull sounds echoed.

The other members of the Demon Hunting Team, already severely injured, were so frightened that their legs gave out, and they all knelt down.

Although they could have chosen to collapse to the ground, having survived until now, how could they not understand social etiquette?

Before the big shot, no, the god, how could they dare to sit?

It was better to kneel! Safer to kneel!

Xu Gu raised an eyebrow, looking at the group of people kneeling by the roadside.

His recent move was not concealed; these people should have known that he had leveled this Mechanical Abyss.

But being this astonished, was there really a need to kneel?

"Great God! I am your idol, no! You are my fan!"

Lin Tianli was so excited he could barely speak coherently.

"Straighten your tongue and speak." Xu Gu frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Lin Tianli then took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and said, "Great God, you are my eternal idol!

"Will you let me be your underling?

"Although I'm only grade A, just a light truck, not a heavy truck, I work hard, willing to go through fire and water for you!"

He did this for a reason.

Not just because the god was strong.

Previously, the god must have arrived early but didn't interfere when they were fighting the War General, nor did he seize the Boss, bullying them.

When he saw them being chased by groups of War General monsters, the god even saved them!

It showed that the god has a good character!

Strong and with good character, why not pledge allegiance?

"We, the Demon Hunting Team, are willing to be your followers!"

The others, having thrown caution to the wind, hurriedly expressed, not caring about face or how abrupt they came across.

If they could hold onto such a powerful ally, their future would certainly soar!

Xu Gu was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other side to go this far.

Moreover,

He had heard of the Demon Hunting Team, a powerful mercenary group near Xu City, quite reputable.

They were idols for many students and Auto Men.

Though few in number, they were all elite, fully of A level, and very experienced in battle, invincible when hunting Steel Beasts and Mechanical Monsters!

Yet the current scene didn't match the rumors at all!

Indeed, meeting them was not as impressive as hearing of them.

However, thinking of the power he had just unleashed, Xu Gu was not surprised.

That strike was indeed quite strong.

But, Beast Tides weren't common!

In the short term, he couldn't summon such a strong attack again.

After all, he was only level 8 now, and even as an SSS-level Auto Man, his firepower was only about five or six thousand.

Although he could still level a One-Star Mechanical Abyss.

But couldn't be as invincible as he was just now.

Xu Gu gently shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget about pledging allegiance, just add me on comms. I'll contact you guys if needed."

Seeing Xu Gu's head shake, the group initially thought they were rejected and felt a wave of disappointment and sadness.

However, upon hearing the latter words, they all looked up sharply, eyes shining with excitement.

Just adding him on comms was enough!

Once they got familiar through contact, they could pledge allegiance later, hopefully without being rejected!

"Good!" Lin Tianli exclaimed excitedly, "If you need anything, just give the order! Our Demon Hunting Team will come at your call!"

Xu Gu nodded, smiled warmly, and said, "These corpses are of no use to me, you can take them all."

The corpses of the War General and Boss were quite valuable; their parts could be used to make accessories and were useful in many areas of life.

However, to Xu Gu, they were indeed useless.

Just a pile of scrap metal.

After all, the greatest value, representing points and experience Crystal Energy, had already been absorbed by him.

Upon hearing this, the team members were so overwhelmed with excitement that they wanted to bow to Xu Gu then and there: "Thank you for your generosity, sir!"

These corpses alone would bring them enormous profits from this mission!

At this moment, they were even more resolved to pledge allegiance to Xu Gu!

Not having pledged allegiance yet, they had already received such benefits; who knows what they would get after pledging allegiance?

Xu Gu chuckled lightly, "As for the Lord's corpse, take it back and see if you can craft something for me out of it."

The Lord's corpse was even more valuable, but he couldn't handle it, and Xia City lacked the resources; better to let them take it to Xu City, one of the major cities in Nanhe Province!

He wasn't worried they would misappropriate it.

They wouldn't dare.

"Yes!" Lin Tianli and the others responded excitedly, this meant future interactions with the god, and if they did well, they might become his followers, "What kind of accessory do you want, sir?"

"Something like a power assist accessory." Xu Gu replied casually; he currently had offensive and defense accessories, only lacking a power assist accessory out of the three core types.

"Definitely something you'll be pleased with, sir!"

Xu Gu nodded, "You all carry on, contact me after it's done."

"Take care, sir~"

As they spoke, under the watchful eyes of the Demon Hunting Team members, Xu Gu turned into a red and blue streak of lightning, disappearing into the Mechanical Abyss.

...

Xia City.

The terrifying fluctuations from the Mechanical Abyss swept in all directions, darkening the world, the wind howling as if it were doomsday.

In the wilderness, the dense power of the Mechanical Abyss incited thousands of Steel Beasts to charge toward Xia City.

These Steel Beasts weren't frightening; Xia City had walls to block them.

But, countless Auto Men still felt cold and despairing.

Because, they knew, behind them were thousands upon thousands of Mechanical Monsters!

Every Mechanical Monster was elite level!

Thousands, enough to destroy the world.

This was the real horror!

In the Auto Man Association office.

The chairman paced frantically, his expression gloomy, eyes twitching, breath rapid, very tense.

Other strong figures and top leaders from Xia City were also in the meeting room.

"How did a Mechanical Abyss suddenly appear!"

"A Mechanical Abyss appearing means a Mechanical Monster Tide will follow!"

"What did the Provincial City say?"

"We don't have any means to resist!"

Xia An took a deep breath, her charming and beautiful face full of seriousness, gritting her teeth:

"The Provincial City said they would send people to support us, but we must hold out for at least a day!"

"What? A day? Against that terrifying Beast Tide, how can we last a day? We couldn't hold out for an hour!"

Xia An felt a bit of despair, "Because this Mechanical Abyss appearance was premeditated, with interference from Ascension Sect members!"

"Smash!"

Someone in the meeting slammed the table into pieces, shouting furiously, "That damn Ascension Sect again!"

"What should we do? Do we really resist?"

"We absolutely..."

"Shut up!" the Association Chairman roared angrily, "Even in death, we must fall at the front line! Back then, when we enjoyed the benefits of power, it's time to pay it back now!"

[Warning! Beast Tide Approaching!]

[Warning! Beast Tide Approaching!]

[Warning!...]

"So soon." The chairman's face changed abruptly, telling the crowd, "Go and resist, Xia An organize the civilians to evacuate..."

"Yes..." Xia An opened her mouth, feeling utterly despairing, filled with a sense of powerlessness, but for some reason, she couldn't help but think of that gigantic fiery red and blue figure.

Perhaps, he had a solution?

She shook her head instantly, impossible!

It was a Beast Tide!

...

Outside Xia City.

Dodging the onslaught of the Steel Beasts, about to see Xia City's towering walls, Vice Principal Lin Changfeng of Xia City High School looked incredibly grim, filled with worry, saying:

"Damn it? Haven't you contacted Xu Gu yet?"

"No..." Lin Liu, pale with a bad feeling, but still said, "He should have a dozen level 30 bodyguards."

"With this kind of situation, no bodyguards would help! If he goes too deep, I fear..." Lin Changfeng took a deep breath, heart twisted with pain.

They at Xia City High School had finally produced an S-level!

Zhang Chao and Wang Lishuo, upon hearing this, immediately showed joy, extremely excited.

"Great! Best if he dies inside! Serves him right for being so high-profile! Winning against the Steel Hyena was one thing, but he dared to venture deeper!"
