Chapter 17 Why are you speaking on your knees?

Boom boom boom!

A series of dull thuds echoed.

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

Though they could have chosen to collapse sitting, how could they not understand human sentiments after surviving until now?

In front of a big shot, no, a godlike figure, how dare they stay seated?

It's safer to kneel! Kneeling is safe!

Xu Gu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the several people kneeling along the way.

When he made his move, he hadn't hidden his strength. These people should know that he had casually pushed over the Mechanical Abyss.

But even with their astonishment, there was no need to kneel.

"Great deity! I'm your idol, no! You are my fan!"

Lin Tianli spoke excitedly incoherently.

"Speak clearly." Xu Gu frowned slightly.

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

"Can I become your follower?

"Although I'm only an A-class, just a light truck, not a heavy truck, but I work very hard! I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

He had his reasons for doing so.

Not just because the deity was powerful.

The deity should have arrived earlier, but seeing that they were fighting the War General, he did not make a move to snatch the Boss; he did not bully them with his power.

Seeing them being pursued by a group of War General monsters, the deity even stepped in to save them!

It shows that the godlike figure has a good character!

Powerful and good-charactered, why not ally with him?

"Our Demon Hunting Team would like to be your followers!"

The others, no longer caring about their pride or the abruptness of their request, hastily voiced their intentions.

Being able to cling to such powerful support would surely send their futures soaring!

Xu Gu was slightly stunned, not expecting them to pull such a move.

Moreover,

He had heard of the Demon Hunting Team, a powerful mercenary group from nearby Xu City with a notable reputation.

They were idols of many students and Mechanical Men.

Although there were few in number, they were all elites, not only all A-class, but also battle-hardened! They were invincible against Steel Beasts and Mechanical Monsters!

But the scene before him seemed quite different from the rumors!

Indeed, reality fell short of fame.

However, thinking back to the attack he had just unleashed, Xu Gu let it go.

That strike was indeed a bit too strong.

Yet, Beast Tides were not common!

For a while, he would fear that he couldn't unleash such a powerful attack again.

After all, he was currently only level 8. Even as an SSS-class Mechanical Man, his firepower was only five or six thousand.

Although he could still flatten a One Star Mechanical Abyss.

He couldn't be as invincible as he had just been.

Xu Gu shook his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "No need to talk about allegiance, let's just add each other in communication. I'll contact you if there's anything."

Seeing Xu Gu shake his head, the crowd, thinking they were rejected, felt a rush of disappointment and deep loss.

But upon hearing the latter part of what he had said, they all suddenly looked up, their eyes ablaze with excitement.

Being able to add each other in communication was good enough!

Afterward, they can keep in touch, and once they became more familiar, they might not be refused if they tried to ally again!

"Alright!" Lin Tianli thought excitedly in his heart: "You can command us directly for anything! Our Demon Hunting Team is at your disposal anytime!"

Xu Gu nodded, smiling genially, and said, "I have no use for these corpses; you all take them."

The corpses of War Generals and Bosses were valuable. Their parts could not only be used to make accessories but also used in various domains of daily life.

But for Xu Gu, indeed they were useless.

Just a pile of scrap metal.

After all, the Crystal Energy, representing points and Experience, had already entered his body.

Upon hearing this, the team members were incredibly excited, almost wanting to kowtow on the spot: "Thank you, Lord, for the generosity!"

Just these few corpses could make their trip extremely profitable!

At that moment, they were even more resolved to follow Xu Gu!

They hadn't even allied with him yet, and they already got such a great benefit. What more if they did ally?

Xu Gu chuckled: "As for the Lord's corpse, you take it back and see if you can craft it into accessories for me."

The corpses of Lords are even more valuable, but he can't handle them, and Xia City doesn't have the facilities for it, so it's better to let these people go to one of the big cities in Nanhe Province, Xu City!

He wasn't worried that these people would be greedy or corrupt.

They didn't have the guts.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Lin Tianli and the others were even more excited, as it meant they would continue to deal with the great god in the future. If they handled this well, maybe they could become followers of the great god. "May I ask Lord, what kind of accessories do you want?"

"Power-assist accessories," Xu Gu said without much thought. He already had attack accessories and defense accessories. Of the three core accessories, he only lacked a power-assist accessory.

"We will definitely satisfy Lord!"

Xu Gu nodded: "Get to it, later, once it's done, contact me."

"Lord, take care~"

As he spoke, under the gaze of the Demon Hunting Team members, Xu Gu turned into a flash of red and blue lightning, disappearing into the Mechanical Abyss.

...

Xia City.

The terrifying fluctuations of the Mechanical Abyss stretched far and wide, and the sky and earth darkened, fierce winds howled, like the end of the world.

In the wilderness, the strength of the Mechanical Abyss was intense, causing thousands of Steel Beasts to rampage towards the inner parts of Xia City.

These Steel Beasts are not scary; Xia City has walls to stop them.

However, countless Mechanical Men are still filled with chilling despair.

Because they know that behind them are tens of thousands of Mechanical Monsters!

Every Mechanical Monster is Elite level!

Tens of thousands can destroy the heavens and the earth.

This was the true terror!

Inside the office of the Mechanical Man Association.

The Chairman paced frantically, his face dark, the corners of his eyes twitching, breathing rapidly, extremely anxious.

Other powerhouses and high-ranking personnel from Xia City were also in the conference room.

"Why did the Mechanical Abyss suddenly descend!"

"The descent of the Mechanical Abyss always brings a Mechanical Monster Tide!"

"What does the Provincial City say?"

"We have absolutely no way to resist!"

Xia An took a deep breath, her charming and beautiful face grave, gritting her teeth:

"The Provincial City said they will send support, but, they want us to hold out for at least a day!"

"What? A day? With such a terrifying Beast Tide, how could we possibly hold out for a day? We couldn't even hold for an hour!"

Xia An also felt somewhat desperate: "Because this descent of the Mechanical Abyss is premeditated, there are Ascension Sect members obstructing!"

"Bang!"

In the meeting, someone directly smashed the table in front of them, shouting angrily: "It's that damn Ascension Sect again!"

"What do we do? Are we really going to resist?"

"We must absolutely…"

"Shut up!" The Association Chairman roared: "Even if we die! We must die at the forefront! Back in the day, we enjoyed the benefits of power, now, it's time to repay!"

[Warning! The Beast Tide is coming!]

[Warning! The Beast Tide is coming!]

[Warning! …]

"So soon." The Chairman's face changed drastically, addressing everyone: "Go to resist, Xia An organize the evacuation of the civilians..."

"Yes…" Xia An opened her mouth, feeling completely despairing and powerless, but, for some reason, the thought of that gigantic figure with red and blue light like fire involuntarily came to her mind.

Perhaps, he has a solution?

Then, shaking her head, how could that be possible!

That's a Beast Tide!

...

Outside Xia City.

While evading the assault of the Steel Beasts and about to catch sight of the high walls of Xia City, Lin Changfeng, the vice principal of Xia City High School, wore a grim expression, heavy with concern:

"Damn it! Have you still not contacted Xu Gu?"

"No…" Lin Liu was pale, feeling a bad premonition, but still said: "He should have a dozen Level 30 bodyguards."

"Such a situation, no bodyguard is of any use! If he went too deep, I fear..." Lin Changfeng took a deep breath, his heart in agony.

They had finally produced an S-rank from Xia City High School!

Hearing this, Zhang Chao and Wang Lishuo immediately showed delighted expressions, extremely excited.

"That's great! Better if he dies in there! Serves him right! Who told you to be so high-profile! It's one thing to defeat the Steel Hyena, but how dare you run further inside!"
