Chapter 128: Shock!

The ascending Ripper still had one claw attached to the chest of the Demon Slayer.

"Warning! Warning! System error, verification failed. Please switch to manual control!"

The A.I. system of the Ripper had crashed. With the software capabilities of the X1 model robot, it did not know how to respond in a situation like this.

"Ripper! Free yourself from the line!" The owner of the machine hurriedly accessed the manual administrator mode and sent an order!

"Warning! Warning! Order cannot be executed; reason unverified!"

The Ripper was suspended at a height of 20 meters and was still rising steadily. The eyes of the robot turned a bright crimson as it reported in a monotone voice which spread across the entire coliseum.

Bei Feng saw that these two robots were only equipped with cold weapons, and did not have any destructive energy type weapons. That was the reason why he aimed to catch them.

Although their physical capabilities were impressive, Bei Feng still had the confidence to subdue them. Even if he could not bring the robots under his control, he knew that the two robots could not pose much of a threat to Earth.

"Eh? F*ck, does anyone know how you can modify the X1 model battle robots and install a flight module? How much does something like that cost?"

Someone from the crowd gasped in shock, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets as he asked incredulously.

"Don't joke around, who would do something dumb like that? The cost of modifying an antique like the X1 model should be even crazier than directly buying a brand new X7 battle robot or something equivalent!"

A spectacled man laughed coldly as he looked up at the idiot who asked that question. If one had the money, they might as well buy a newer model!

"But that's not it, look, aren't those two robots flying into the air?"

The man who had asked the question pointed at the arena.

With a bit of shock, the spectacled man quickly took out his eagle vision device and trained his eyes on the arena. "F*ck! There's really a dumb fellow who will do that kind of modification? Wait, something's not right!"

The man tweaked the settings on the device and squinted his eyes. "Where did that thin line come from? The coliseum is covered by a powerful barrier, so it should be impossible for even a mosquito to fly in!"

More and more people in the coliseum began to discover that the situation was somewhat out of the ordinary.

By now, the organizers and security staff had also discovered that something was wrong. The alarms went off, and the security systems were activated!

Numerous X8 model robots dashed into the arena, traveling at three times the speed of sound! In an instant, they had already arrived beside the Demon Slayer which had half its body in a black vortex!

"What is that? A spatial wormhole?"

Everyone had an extremely serious expression on their faces as they looked at the two meter wide vortex with shock and caution.

At the same time, the sonic boom from the X8 robots finally arrived, jerking the crowd out of their daze. Lines of vacuum passage even appeared due to the great speed at which the robots smashed past the sound barrier. This was the awesome might of the top grade robots!

To say that a single X8 model battle robot could move through Earth unhindered was definitely not an exaggeration! Apart from nuclear warheads, there was basically nothing on Earth capable of breaking through the armor of the X8 battle robot!

"Scanning completed! Conventional wormhole, stability: normal. No danger detected!"

Less than one second had passed before all the X8 battle robots concluded their investigation.

By now, there was still over a third of the Demon Slayer left outside of the vortex. Now that the wormhole had been verified to be safe, the controller for one of the X8 robots brought the robot closer. Numerous black electric arcs shot out of the arm of the robot and grabbed onto the leg of the Demon Slayer! Then, with a mighty tug, the Hurricane Blueprint robot attempted to pull the Demon Slayer back out of the vortex!

"Boom!"

The part of the Demon Slayer which had not entered the vortex immediately exploded, sending a huge fireball over 20 meters in size to bloom in the sky!

The fireball only dispersed after 3 seconds. The figure of the Hurricane Blueprint revealed from the smoke and flame remained completely unharmed!

A command quickly followed the explosion, and an X8 battle robot immediately charged into the vortex without the slightest hesitation!

Other than the controller for that X8 robot, the arena was completely still as they awaited further news.

No one knew where this wormhole led to. It might be the passage to a new galaxy, or to a land of death!

Even so, the higher-ups of the coliseum were willing to take this risky bet. If the wormhole really led to a completely unexplored planet, they would have struck gold!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the X8 battle robot disappeared into the black vortex!

'What a scary civilization!' Bei Feng was completely scared by the robot called Hurricane Blueprint. Its speed was inconceivably fast. Before he could even see the actions of the robot clearly, a part of the Demon Slayer had already been destroyed!

'Luckily, there's still one robot which had not been destroyed. Otherwise, this fishing session would have been completely wasted!'

Seeing the perfectly intact Ripper, Bei Feng felt great relief.

As for the other robot, there were still two thirds of its body remaining. Its upper body was still in the grasp of the Ripper's claws. Bei Feng estimated that it wouldn't have much use now even though he had fished it up.

'Not good!' Bei Feng's expression changed drastically. A robot had leaped into the wormhole, following just three meters behind!

A conflicted look appeared in his eyes. 'Should I throw the fishing pole down?!'

If he chose to discard the fishing pole, he didn't know if he could still fish again in the future! But if he didn't let go of the fishing pole, would the fearsome X8 battle robot really appear on Earth successfully?!

Luckily, Bei Feng did not have to remain conflicted for long. A formless wave suddenly swept past the X8 battle robot. This alien robot which could easily resist a few million degrees of heat and shrug off a missile from a battleship was directly reduced into powder without even a chance of resisting!

"Boom!"

The energy core of the X8 battle robot blew up violently. But not a single sound spread out of the vortex. The only results of that explosion was an intense light and heat!

The strange spatial tunnel shook as the shock wave from the blast spread through it like a wave. Violent ripples traveled along the tunnel continuously.

The amount of force generated from the explosion from the highly concentrated energy core of the X8 battle robot was equivalent to a one megaton small-scale nuclear missile!

A paper-thin light barrier instantly appeared around the fish hook, wrapping around the two robots attached to it.

The shock wave from the explosion quickly caught up to Bei Feng's robots. But no matter how domineering the blast was, it could do nothing but wash harmlessly over the seemingly weak barrier!

With Bei Feng reeling furiously, the looted robots shot through the tunnel, distancing themselves from the blast very quickly. One second later, they began to emerge from the well.

"Warning! Warning! Unknown error detected. No matches found in DNA database. Please input new DNA samples!"

"Warning! Warning! System has lost connection with the Zhendan Empire network. Please reconnect manually!"

The two robots were reeled out of the well by Bei Feng. The moment they emerged, a series of warnings sounded from the Ripper. Its claw was still tightly gripping the chest of the Demon Slayer.

"Ding! Grade 3 treasure obtained, Ripper robot! (The body of this robot is made with the specially developed material of fusion alloy and memory metal in accordance to extremely harsh standards! Its a close-ranged combat robot, a master fighter! This robot possess the most basic form of intelligence.

"Ding! Grade 3 incomplete treasure obtained, Demon Slayer robot! (Damaged. Can be repaired!) Experience gained: 1,500! Required experience to advance to level 3 Fisherman: 4,980!"
