Chapter 302: Chapter 165 Trapped in the Spaceship, Rampaging Speed_2

Later, however, the enormous serpent Atom’s muffled voice rang out, "Wait, everyone stop!"

Due to Genetic Release, his voice had become incredibly dull.

Bai Ye furrowed his brows, clutching his ice spear, as the Ice Storm he conjured had already enveloped dozens of meters around him.

Ya Ro was incredibly tense, just as the fight was about to begin, another surprise occurred.

The several-decimeter-long snake’s tongue flicked up and down in the air.

"Something’s not right, a scent has been tampered with. Although faint, I can still perceive it." After Atom’s Genetic Release, all his abilities had significantly enhanced, his snake head raised high, his vertical pupils cold and detached, his gaping maw gradually widening.

"One’s above, the other inside the spaceship..."

Ya Ro’s heart almost leaped out of his chest.

There was a roaring sound, and unbelievably a figure dashed out from the spaceship at an extremely fast speed, nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Before Ya Ro’s eyes, everything blurred, feeling as though he himself was being pulled out, his body hanging in mid-air, terrifying winds striking him face first.

"There really is someone!" Duke Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise, his reaction swift as the ice spear swung, sending the Ice Storm howling forward, like a white dragon, but it was simply too slow.

The figure had already stepped onto the gorge’s cliff wall.

"You can’t escape!" His face slightly changed, not expecting the other’s speed to be so fast, in a twinkling of an eye he shot up, stirring up a great swath of mist.

As for Ya Ro, he only felt the storm roaring towards him, the back of his head being pressed by a powerful force as though being used to slice through the wind.

Almost simultaneously, he heard a loud explosion blossom, and then could see nothing, as if countless palms were continuously slapping his face.

Following closely behind was Duke Bai Ye, his expression one of shock, as he watched the dust rise high on both sides of the gorge’s cliff, like curtains being lifted, then bursting into a circle of air.

In almost the blink of an eye, the other was left only a silhouette.

How could he run so fast!?

Bai Ye’s heart violently shook as he hurriedly followed the trail, flying with his body, leaving a wave of air behind him as well.

And Atom, who had reverted back to human form, followed closely, his heart amazed. This speed, how is it faintly faster than their flying.

This is a Level B Life Form... Watching the two flying figures, the people below envied immensely.

To break free of terrestrial gravity, to fly off the ground, to evolve to this degree, was already beyond common sense.

There was actually someone inside the spaceship?

Neil and Telo looked at each other in dismay, with Telo taking the lead in challenging, "You Sela people, what kind of watch are you keeping, not even noticing someone in the spaceship?"

Neil, his face dark, did not want to argue with this raider, simply saying, "Lord Duke personally took action, they won’t be able to escape."

"Haha, your Lord Duke didn’t even realize there was someone, it was our boss who found out," Telo scoffed, Neil just coldly stared at him, saying no more, returning to his own camp.

His mind also in shock, his detecting equipment hadn’t spotted the other party who was clearly hiding inside the spaceship, very close by.

The two sides had already been on edge, even sustaining injuries, but with both leaders chasing after the person, raiders and Sela people alike quieted down again, discussing.

Most believed that those missing goods must definitely relate to the two individuals hiding here.

"Once we catch them and bring them back, we must thoroughly interrogate them," Telo sneered menacingly.

Whew~~

Not much later, Duke Bai Ye and Atom one after the other fell from above the gorge.

"Lord Duke..." Neil quickly approached, a look of shame on his face, "I’m sorry, I failed to detect the hidden enemy."

Bai Ye waved his hand, his killing intent surging.

"Boss, where is he? You didn’t kill them, did you?" Telo looked around, unable to help saying, "Did you find out where those goods are?"

"Get lost!" Atom snapped coldly, slapping Telo, sending him flying.

"Lord Duke, those two people..." Neil then reacted, his face pale.

"They were too fast, they got away." Duke Bai Ye’s expression was stone-cold.

"Run away?"

"Those two actually escaped from the pursuit of a Class B life form?"

Several Class C life forms from Sela changed expressions—since Duke Bai Ye had taken a remarkably short time to return after leaving, it implied that his speed was far superior to the two of them.

They couldn’t help but feel a thrill of horror.

It was even noisier on the raiders’ side. Telo, covering his face, came back and said, "Boss, did you see clearly? Was it the traitor Ya Ro? He’s the only one who knows this place."

Atom glared at him sinisterly and slapped him across the face, "Idiot, couldn’t he have sold that information to someone else!"

"Your Grace, could it be...?" Neil couldn’t help but ask.

"Too fast, I didn’t see clearly," Duke Bai Ye frowned, "but it probably wasn’t the two of them."

He was also extremely angered and surprised in his heart. Even though his gene seed was not known for speed, his flying speed as a Class B life form was not slow.

Yet, unexpectedly, the other party was running so fast that they could break the sound barrier. Coupled with the special environment of the area, if one wasn’t careful, the other party would disappear without a trace, their figures blurring into obscurity.

A few Class C life forms were startled, "Is the other party also a Class B life form?"

"It shouldn’t be," Duke Bai Ye hesitated and shook his head. "If it was a Class B life form, there’d be no need to run."

But then he contradicted himself, "That’s not necessarily true either, maybe they aren’t as fast when flying and need to escape the extra influence of gravity."

Moreover, if it were a Class C life form with that kind of speed, it would be too terrifying.

"Atom, do you have any impression of those two people?" Duke Bai Ye inquired.

"None," Atom frowned, "However, they deliberately used a method to conceal their scent during their action; they clearly knew about me."

"I suspect, Ya Ro might have sold the information to others."

He gritted his teeth, "Let’s work together and lock down this planet; the cargo in the spaceship must be in their hands!"

"I refuse to believe they wouldn’t leave!"

"Good," Duke Bai Ye nodded solemnly, "This person is good at speed. His combat effectiveness is probably not so strong. The two of us together should be able to take him down easily."

"First, let’s drag this spaceship out and see if any clues remain inside."

Both parties acted quickly, and after leaving the Thunderstorm Zone, each ordered their warships to spread out and patrol in near-Earth orbit, constantly scanning, not letting any warship escape.

Meanwhile, in the Thunderstorm Zone, under a certain gobi, Ya Ro was still trembling with terror, his expression somewhat dazed. Li Ming released his grip on Ya Ro’s palm; staggering, he nearly fell down.

Hair disheveled, his face skewed.

"Brother, brother..." Li Ming crouched down, unable to help but say, "You haven’t gone mad, have you?"

"Fuck!" Ya Ro suddenly jolted, clamped onto Li Ming’s arm, shaking it non-stop, swallowing his saliva, unable to speak.

"Those two Class B life forms!" he finally managed to say after a long time.

"It’s okay, we shook them off," Li Ming reassured him,

"Shook them off?" Ya Ro’s voice rose several pitches, "How did we shake them off?"

Li Ming explained, "Just kept running forward, and before we knew it, they were gone."

Being trapped inside the spaceship by both parties didn’t surprise him, but he hadn’t anticipated that just as the two sides seemed about to clash, Atom inexplicably discovered them.

Naturally, he would not confront two Class B life forms head-on. He switched to a speed system, upgrading the remaining four pairs of Class D shoes, all to Class C, totaling up to 240,000 metal energy.

For Li Ming, who had already absorbed that batch of Star Magnetic Alloy, it was a mere trifle.

With five pairs of shoes, just the passive enhancement gave a tenfold increase; combined with his abilities, it resulted in a speed burst of fourteen times, enough to contend with those proficient in speed among the Class B life forms.

Ya Ro murmured to himself, seemingly recalling the event, but his memory was only of the fierce wind in his face, nothing else.

Moreover, he felt a mild numbness at the back of his head.

"It really is..." He no longer knew how to describe the series of events.
