After capturing Blazing Angel and escaping from the frontline base, Slayer circled around the wilderness. After making sure that Duanmu Longxiang was not following him, he quietly returned to battle fort no.9.
Although battle fort no.9 had turned into a pile of rubble, there was still a key place that was perfectly preserved. It was the elevator shaft that led to the underground mechanical ruins.
Without the mechanical army, without the defense machines, without Nine, there was only Slayer's battle fort no.9. It was dead silent.
Slayer stood beside the elevator shaft in silence. It seemed like he was thinking about something.
Streaks of blue lightning seeped out from the gaps of Slayer's armor. That was the energy left behind by Duanmu Longxiang's last attack.
As an elite, Duanmu Longxiang's last full-power attack was not something that could be easily withstood.
After going through a tough battle and being heavily injured by Duanmu Longxiang, Slayer's energy was at its weakest. The energy in his body was also approaching the critical point.
Slayer slowly raised his right hand. There was a ball of golden light in his palm.
Blazing Angel kept struggling as she yelled, "Let me go! I need to go to the toilet!"
Slayer looked at the Blazing Angel and ignored her nonsense. He only said indifferently, "Don't even think about playing any tricks. I've once dealt with a high-grade energy lifeform, so I know very well what you're capable of. Don't even think about using those little tricks to escape from my grasp."
Blazing Angel heard this and stopped struggling. She pouted.
"Why did you capture me?
I'm just a poor kid who can't even fill her stomach! "
A red light flashed in Slayer's eyes. He forcefully suppressed the blue lightning that was spreading around him.
"As a rank 6 energy life form, you're more powerful than Qi Yuan. Why do you want to follow him?"
"Because he's taking care of my meals!" Blazing Angel said confidently.
Taking care of my meals?
Slayer was obviously stunned. The emotions that he had been brewing were no longer coherent.
He didn't think that the reason Blazing Angel was willing to follow Qi Yuan was so simple.
After a moment of silence, Slayer dropped his original condition and said slowly, "If I take care of your meals too, would you be willing to follow me?"
Blazing Angel's eyes sparkled.
"You're really willing to take care of my meals?"
"Of course!" Slayer said.
"I'm a Grade 7 Mechanical Apostle. My strength is far greater than Qi Yuan's. If he can do it, I can do it too. In fact, I can do it better than him. Even if you want to eat spirit crystals, I can get it for you!"
Blazing Angel said happily, "Great!
Good!
I'm hungry, I want to eat now! "
"What do you want to eat?" Slayer asked.
"Spirit Crystals!
You just said that you can help me get the spirit crystal! "Blazing Angel looked at Slayer expectantly.
The Slayer fell into silence again. If he was still in his prime, if battle fort no.9 was not destroyed, he might be able to kill a Panic Insectoid and collect some spirit crystals. But in his current state, he was no match for a Panic Insectoid.
"I don't have any spirit crystals right now. You can change it to something else," Slayer said.
"No Origin Crystals!" The disappointment on Blazing Angel's face was obvious.
"Let's eat Asterite then. Give me ten tons of Asterite first. I'll barely be 30% full!"
Slayer heard this and fell into silence again.
A ton of rice would consume 10 tons of star energy stones, and it was only 30% full. Even if Abel was still here, he wouldn't be able to feed a gold-eating monster like this, let alone the fact that he was all alone.
"Not even Asterite?" Blazing Angel stared at Slayer with wide eyes.
"When I was following Qi Yuan, I always had enough new energy stones. I'm so fat now!
Aren't you a high-rank apostle?
You can't even beat a rank 5 human, right? "
Slayer looked at Blazing Angel and said slowly, "I can let you eat enough Asterite, but you have to do me a favor first."
Blazing Angel looked at Slayer suspiciously. Didn't Jiu say that he took all of his new energy stones?
Could it be that he was hiding something else?
"No problem!
But I want to see Asterite first! "Blazing Angel said.
Slayer looked at the pitch black elevator shaft with a gloomy gaze.
"At the bottom of this elevator shaft, there is a mechanical ruin. There are large amounts of Asterite stored there. Once you go in, you can eat as much as you want!"
Blazing Angel panicked. She already knew about the dangers of the mechanical ruin from Jiu. She would not dare to go in recklessly.
Even a rank 7 high-rank apostle had died in there. With Slayer's half-dead look, he might not be able to come out alive if he really went in.
Even if there were large amounts of Asterite, she would not be able to eat it.
"I don't want to go in. I want to eat here!" Blazing Angel said pitifully.
"That's not up to you."
Slayer snorted coldly. He clenched his right hand and a powerful force field appeared from his palm. He was trying to absorb energy from Blazing Angel's body.
"Help me replenish my energy first. Once we enter the mechanical ruin, you can eat as much Asterite as you want!"
Blazing Angel screamed.
"You liar!
You won't give me anything to eat and you want to steal the energy in my stomach! "
Although Blazing Angel tried her best to resist, she was still no match for Slayer. Under the forceful pressure of the force field, waves of energy flowed out of Blazing Angel's body and into Slayer's energy core.
"If not for the energy in your body, why would I risk being severely injured by Duanmu Longxiang in the end to threaten Qi Yuan? As long as you listen to me obediently and give me all the energy in your body, once I enter the mechanical ruin, the energy you used will be replenished very quickly!"
"You liar, let go of me!"
Blazing Angel struggled with all her might. However, no matter how she resisted, she could not resist Slayer's energy absorption.
This was the suppression of rank!
Slowly, Blazing Angel who had lost her energy became weaker and weaker. Meanwhile, Slayer who had been replenished slowly recovered.
What an abundant energy reserve!
Slayer looked at Blazing Angel who had fallen into autistic mode with a strange expression.
The amount of energy in Blazing Angel's body was beyond his imagination. Although Blazing Angel was only a Rank Six Energy Body, the energy she had stored was even more than the Death Furnace. This was unbelievable!
Slayer originally thought that the energy in Blazing Angel's body would at most allow him to recover a quarter of his energy. However, he did not expect to recover half of it.
This made Slayer's desire to control Blazing Angel become even more fervent.
During the final battle at the frontline base, if Blazing Angel had replenished his energy, he might have already defeated Duanmu Longxiang and changed the outcome of the battle.
