Final Priesthood

Chapter 485 The Fire of Greed

  Under the fierce mecha battlefield, a cave wall with a dark green luster suddenly cracked to both sides, revealing a huge exit.

 A group of tall men, fully armed and wearing gray combat uniforms, walked out quickly pushing large boxes.

This group of people automatically divided into two teams behind Lord Gemstone, and quickly piled the huge black boxes in their hands on the open space in front of Lord Gemstone.

They were so numerous and moved so fast that it took less than half a minute to pile up the black boxes into two towering high walls in the field.

 At a rough glance, the number of these boxes is probably close to a thousand.

Everyone who was fighting fiercely in the field was more or less attracted by the unusual movements happening below. Many people looked wary, but before they could find out what was contained in these numerous black boxes.

 “Boom!”

Two high black walls were suddenly knocked over and collapsed.

In an instant, countless clear and translucent green crystals poured out like a torrent, rolling out in a mighty manner.

With the pleasant sound of the crystals colliding, a huge and extremely rich life energy escapes.

 Many star thieves were like swarms of red-eyed locusts, rushing towards the life source mines scattered on the ground.

Lord Gemstone glanced at the taut guard on his side and said calmly: "No one in this place can hurt a hair on my head."

 Finally, there are the ordinary star thieves who are robbing the life source mine below.

 “He will be satisfied.”

Even Lu Yuan’s mind was shaken.

"Am I right?"

The red gold mecha guards who were still fighting to the death with the Star Thieves did not stop them now, and seemed to completely let the Star Thieves rob them as they pleased.

 Lord Gemstone’s tone was calm, but he seemed extremely confident and determined.

There were about a dozen star pirates who remained motionless like him, and most of them were pilots with level six or seven strength among the star pirates.

Only then did he realize that the red-gold guard mechas who had no opponents in the field had gathered their formation at some point and were slowly approaching the star thieves who had not gone down to rob the source mine.

"relax."

When the switch was activated, the star thieves who were still in a state of shock one second, turned into afterimages one after another in the next second, quickly separated from the original battle group, and rushed towards the mountains of life source mines underneath.

 His confidence does not seem to come from the three layers of fully armed and loyal guards beside him.

Lord Gemstone seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Is the mold in place?"

 The operation of "opening the gate and releasing the water" by Lord Gemstone is really abnormal and weird. If there is nothing fishy in it, no one would believe it.

The latter saw the weird smile on Lord Gemstone's face, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and then nodded blankly.

 At this moment, all the star thieves were stunned.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he quietly raised his head.

 Massive life source minerals, misty green fluorescence, and a breath of life energy that is so rich that it almost makes people feel choking. Waves of waves stimulate the nerves of all the star thieves present.

He had a relaxed look on his face and was watching with relish the group of star thieves who were frantically robbing the Life Source Mine, as if he was enjoying a lively and interesting drama directed by him.

"That's good."

 Lord Gem nodded.

The guard replied in a low voice: "Everyone has been placed in the designated positions according to your instructions."

  Then it fell on the seventh-level star thief leaders who were surrounded by a group of red gold mechas.

A look of satisfaction slowly appeared on his face, and he said softly:

“The main ingredient of arrogance and nobility is paired with the auxiliary ingredients of jealousy and suspicion, slowly simmered and roasted with the fire of greed kindled by stupid souls, and then sprinkled with the seasoning of fear and pain.

Tsk, I can’t imagine what a rich and delicious meal this must be.”

 A piece of life source ore as big as a fist is worth hundreds of thousands of soul coins. How many life source ores are there in front of everyone now?

This sound is like a switch.

 Thousands of tons!

 Converted into money, this is a super wealth worth hundreds of billions or even trillions!

 No wonder everyone is going crazy about it.

The ear-piercing mecha blasted through the air, causing sonic booms one after another.

Thousands of large boxes that are several meters square, the total life source ore inside them is probably more than 1,000 tons!

What he didn't expect even more was that Lord Gem would dump so much life source ore directly in front of everyone like dumping garbage.

"Oh, right."

 He knew that Lord Gem had a lot of life source minerals, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

Under the impact of this surging breath of life, for a moment, everyone in the scene felt as if they had gone directly from the smoke-filled battlefield to the lush primeval jungle after the rain.

Lord Gemstone turned his head and asked the personal guard beside him with a smile.

　　Then he raised his head, his eyes first passed over two high-level mechas, one black and one white, fighting fiercely in mid-air, emitting terrible energy and consciousness fluctuations from time to time.

The guards who were protecting him layer by layer around him looked nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

 In an instant, the air in a large area under the ruins cave was cleared.

 The silence was broken by a sudden, high-pitched roar of an engine.

Lu Yuan glanced at Lord Gemstone in the distance.

Lu Yuan stood still and did not move.

These sixth- and seventh-level star thief leaders have survived to this day, and they are all as shrewd as ghosts. Even when their eyes glowed green when they looked at the life source ore underneath, they carefully chose to let their subordinates go first.

 After a short period of silence.

 “Bang!”

A harsh explosion sounded, and white air waves rolled up.

 Several red gold shadows rushed towards Luyuan almost at the same time.

 Two are at level seven and three are at level six.

 Lu Yuan judged the strength of his opponent immediately.

 And he was far from the only one who received such grand treatment.

 After the large force that acted as the main body of the operation was attracted by the life source mine, these star thief "elites" who did not take action because of caution, became the target of siege by all the red gold mechas.

“Is this a conspiracy? Directly use profits to divide the war group and slowly defeat them one by one?”

Facing the siege of five red gold mechas, Lu Yuan didn't have much panic on his face. He was still thinking about the deep meaning behind Lord Gem's actions.

Each red gold mecha is an elite one, with the lowest strength being level 5, and there are also many masters at level 6 or 7.

Use the temptation of the Life Source Mine to disrupt their formation, focus your fire to kill some of them first, and then slowly pick up the rest.

This method is indeed good. It can be regarded as making full use of the shortcomings of the Star Thieves' weak cohesion and loose organizational discipline.

 But the number of red gold mechas is too small.

No matter what level of power they are, their number is only one-third of that of the Star Thieves, or even less.

Unless Lord Gem has other back-up forces, it would be unrealistic to rely solely on the red gold mecha guards under him to devour every single one of the Star Thieves.

Facing the siege of several red gold mechas, Lu Yuan looked calm and did not take action directly.

Instead, he moved his body and took advantage of his own speed to easily break through the encirclement in front of him, and then rushed towards the nearest Star Pirates level seven mecha.

Several red gold mechas were in hot pursuit.

When he was approaching the target level seven mecha, Lu Yuan turned around and turned directly to another place.

He seemed to hear the bursts of curses coming from the mecha from the seventh-level star thief whose pressure had increased sharply. Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he continued to shift positions.

On the other side of the battle group, a rose-red female mecha was also doing something similar to Lu Yuan.

Continuously wandering between small battle groups one after another, disrupting and connecting the battle groups that were originally divided into pieces like tofu cubes.

 He ​​and Sonis only "stirred troubles" a few times before the star thieves on the field began to "wake up from a dream" and began to actively move closer to each other.

 They are not fools, they obviously understand the intention of the two people who came here, Lu Yuan.

 At this time, it is obviously much better to fight as a team than to fight individually.

 I didn’t think of it before, just because they didn’t have this awareness in their minds, and they didn’t trust each other enough.

Even if this kind of thing is explained in advance, there will always be people who are rebellious and refuse to cooperate.

At the moment, I don’t know whether “Alfonzo” deliberately or unintentionally forced them to come together. Instead, he made these star thieves cooperate unusually and “unify” together.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——'

Lu Yuan's figure appeared in the air. Just as he stabilized his figure, two attacks came at him from both sides, one from the left and the other from the right.

Lu Yuan's arms shook slightly, and the claw-like weapon dragged out a large afterimage in the void, forming a faint cross shape.

 He didn't care about the attack on the right side at all, and seemed to only see the attack coming from the left side.

 “Boom!”

 “Bang!”

 Two muffled sounds broke out one after another.

Lu Yuan stepped back slightly in mid-air, his slender and strong alloy arms hanging naturally, and he stood still with a calm expression.

Beside him, a stocky and thick copper-colored mecha that had just blocked an attack for him was holding two laser swords, and the loud laughter coming from the red beard came from its mouth.

“Alfonzo, you have to thank me, otherwise you will have to move your head now”

Lu Yuan glanced at Hongbeard lightly and said nothing.

At this time, more than a dozen level 7 players from the Star Thief side have successfully formed a team. Similar to the "cooperation" operation between him and Red Beard just now is not uncommon.

Facing red gold mecha guards that were more than twice their number, not to mention the pressure was suddenly reduced, at least everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

 And the goal of Lu Yuan has been achieved.

He chose to promote the Star Thieves to unite, but it was not that he had made up his mind to side with the Star Thieves.

But Lord Gem gave him an inexplicable and strange feeling, which always made him feel a little uneasy.

No matter what the reason is, he doesn’t want the Star Thieves to “fall” too quickly, or rather

  I don’t want some of Lord Gem’s plans to go too smoothly.

“These guys are so crazy about picking up things, aren’t they?

I shouted for a long time but no one paid attention to me. They just watched us being attacked and bullied."

"Red Beard" stood next to Lu Yuan and cursed. He couldn't help but open the long-range cannon on the mecha and fired two shots downwards.

 The energy cannon landed in the life source mine, exploding into two groups of dark green fire.

Red Beard's two shots were obviously aimed at warning the mechas below that were picking up source ores, but the mechas next to the explosion impact point didn't seem to be affected at all, and were still using the mechas to continuously collect the ores. Pick up the life source ore in front of you.

Even though the internal storage space of the mecha they were driving was already full, and pieces of life source ore were being "eaten" in and "vomited out" continuously, they still seemed not to notice it and only knew to repeat the movements of their hands.

 “Really crazy?!”

 Similar scenes happened to many star thieves, not only Redbeard, but also some seventh-level star thieves who had not gone down, and they gradually discovered the clues.

“Each piece of these life source ores has been marked with space, and cannot be stored in space storage props. It can only be moved piece by piece!”

 “There’s something weird about these mines!”

The star thieves who were besieged by the red gold mecha were discussing in confusion while bearing the pressure of being besieged.

At this point, even the most obtuse person will notice something is wrong.

 The several terminal communication channels that were created when we came here are now the only ones left talking in them.

Those who go down to grab the ores, whether they are level 4, level 5, level 6 or even level 7.

 Now, there is not even a single response from anyone.

Each of them seemed to be possessed by a demon. The mechas loaded with source ore were overloaded and their movements were sluggish.

Like fat worms, lying on the hill full of life source minerals, "gnawing" greedily.

 It seems that except for the source ore in front of me, everything else has been forgotten and becomes unimportant.

At the Life Source Mine, an overstretched mecha swayed and fell on its back with a bang.

 The cockpit door opened immediately the next second.

 Then a star thief with red eyes jumped out of it with a crazy expression.

He almost landed on the source mine with a flying posture. The moment he landed, he used his hands and feet to crazily stuff green pieces of source mine into his arms and stuffed them into his body.

 A few seconds later.

The star thief who was frantically collecting minerals suddenly stopped, and then

 “Boom!”

 A ball of flame as bright as a gold coin suddenly shot out from his body.

The bright yellow flames instantly enveloped the star thief, and a shrill and painful scream pierced the air.

 There seemed to be a twisted human shape flashing through the center of the flame.

When the flames were extinguished, large chunks of life source ore with beautiful green light fell onto the mine, and a thin layer of black ash was spread on them.

 The original star thief has long since disappeared without a trace.

The seven-level star thieves who witnessed this scene took a breath.

Before it was their turn to be shocked, similar things began to happen one after another below.

This shock soon turned into horror, and the shock spread silently in the hearts and eyes of the star thieves.

"What's this?!"

Lu Yuan was also shocked.

His eyes were fixed on the yellow flames burning on the mountain of green source minerals below.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the Abyss Sinking Demon Coin in his hand from the color of the flames.

  The colors of the two are surprisingly similar, and they have the same weird charm.

Lu Yuan frowned, and then looked in the direction of Lord Gemstone, and saw that the fat, white and round man was looking at everything that was happening in front of him with a smile and his hands behind his back.

 From a certain angle, at first glance.

 Lu Yuan felt.

The Lord Gem in front of me seems to have an inexplicable resemblance to the sinking demon with a big belly and thin legs and a smile full of sharp teeth engraved on his coin of the sinking demon of the abyss!
