Chapter 228: Teleportation, The Dakville Black Iron Clan

Chapter 228: Teleportation, The Dakville Black Iron Clan

Today, the Flame Emblem Club was not as bustling as it usually was.

With the appearance of a Tempering Forge in the Lionheart Empire, Forge Castle was no longer the only choice for Tempering Masters.

While it was said to be less busy than usual, it was more a matter of not being overcrowded.

The Flame Emblem Club remained the top choice for Tempering Masters in Daxia, with its location and collaboration model satisfying the metahumans of Daxia.

For many Tempering Masters and metahumans, the emergence of a second Tempering Forge in the Western world brought the hope that others would go to the Lionheart Empire for tempering, reducing the long queues they had to endure.

The countdown to the conscription was three days away.

Lin Ze Yu finally managed to acquire all the necessary materials for the secondary forging of the crossbow from the market and handed them over to Guru Master, who would reforge Mia's crossbow for Su Muyu.

He also took the opportunity to gain some secondary profession experience.

The forging process went smoothly, as the Black Iron Dwarves had an innate talent for forging, a trait determined by their race.

After the secondary forging, the crossbow's attack power increased significantly.

[Mia's Exceptional Crossbow +9]



[Item Grade: B-Class]



[Specifications: Length 72 cm, Bow Arm Width 58 cm, Weight 2.3 kg]



[Attributes: Attack Power 210]



[Effects: Armor Melting, Sensitivity Breaker]



[Evaluation: A crossbow forged from fine iron, with Mia's name engraved on it.]



Su Muyu primarily used the crossbow with flame elemental arrows created by her skill.

This skill had a hidden trait; the wind direction and wind resistance had little impact on the shooting accuracy of the elemental arrows.

This allowed her to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy even at a distance of a hundred meters.

She could maintain decent accuracy at a distance of two hundred meters as well.

For a long-range weapon, a hundred-meter range was already considered quite far.

Even a pistol's effective range was only fifty meters.

Of course, the effective range of a pistol didn't mean that the bullets lost their power after traveling fifty meters.

Beyond fifty meters, it was challenging to guarantee accuracy with a pistol.

Moreover, the conventional application scenario for pistols was in close-quarters combat, from five to twenty meters.

At distances over twenty meters, it was time to switch to a rifle, and for precise shooting beyond a hundred meters, a sniper rifle was necessary.

Although many sniper rifles had an effective range of up to a thousand meters, not every shot needed to be taken at the maximum distance.

Therefore, Su Muyu's ability to hit targets accurately at a distance of two hundred meters was a testament to her excellent archery skills.

After the forging was complete, Su Muyu held the crossbow that had undergone secondary forging, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

This crossbow was a testament to the friendship between her and Mia.

She had thought that after their parting at Stone Hammer Fortress, she would never have the chance to see Mia again, but she never expected that the Banseer Tribe would be conscripted to Blue Planet.

She wanted to show Mia the improved attributes of the crossbow, but unfortunately, Mia had already returned to her world.

...

With everything prepared, the final day of the conscription countdown arrived.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu's families gathered for a meal, enjoying a harmonious dinner together.

At eight in the evening, the three team members assembled in the training room.

As midnight approached, the time for teleportation, Lu Heng instructed Mechanical Tiger Anka to initiate a self-inspection, checking the installed modules.

The mechanical core of the tiger rarely malfunctioned, but with three modules installed, regular inspections were necessary to ensure smooth operation.

The anti-gravity module and mechanical wings were functioning well, and the micro-missile launcher was also in good condition.

However, only six micro-missiles remained loaded.

They had acquired twenty-four missiles from Liliana Sikes in the Sekis Civilization, and now only six were left.

They would need to use them sparingly until their next entry into the Cyber World.

Fortunately, Mechanical Tiger Anka was now equipped with a laser launcher installed in its mouth, capable of firing high-energy lasers.

The three of them gathered, drinking beverages and chatting.

Waiting for the call of the Abyss.

"I hope we get to enter a Cyber World this time. I want to get my hands on a high-tech kinetic energy sniper rifle," Lin Ze Yu began to wish.

In terms of future weapon technology, there were three main technological paths: kinetic energy weapons, missile weapons, and energy weapons.

The Sekis Civilization primarily focused on energy weapons, with missile weapons as a secondary choice.

Sniper rifles fell under the category of kinetic energy weapons.

In fact, all firearms and cannons were classified as kinetic energy weapons.

In the Sekis Civilization, most firearms were laser guns, so Lin Ze Yu couldn't find a kinetic energy sniper rifle that outperformed the existing ones.

"I think we should visit the Banseer Tribe. It's been a long time since we left Stone Hammer Fortress. It would be great if we could go back for a visit," Su Muyu expressed her desire to reunite with her friends.

"Conscription always happens because the target civilization is facing an Abyssal invasion and is in crisis. Mia might not appreciate your idea," Lu Heng teased with a smile.

Su Muyu paused for a moment and replied, "You're right. If Stone Hammer Fortress hadn't encountered a crisis, they wouldn't need to conscript us. In that case, let's not wish for conscription to the Banseer Tribe."

She didn't want her friends' tribe to face a crisis, especially since the Banseer Tribe had a small population and couldn't afford such a catastrophe.

As they chatted, time ticked by, and soon, midnight arrived.

Lu Heng checked the time, and with thirty seconds remaining, he extended his hand and said, "Get ready.

The three of them extended their hands, their palms stacked on top of each other.

Lu Heng gave them a final reminder, "After the teleportation, immediately assess your surroundings. If we're not together, prioritize your safety first, then find a way to regroup."

"Be cautious of other metahumans. Besides ourselves, we can't fully trust anyone."

"Understood!" they replied in unison.

The countdown reached its final three seconds, and the teleportation began.

A blinding white light appeared before them, illuminating the surroundings with an intensity that made it hard to keep their eyes open.

The light faded, giving way to an endless darkness.

Soon, data about the Abyssal Battlefield began to appear before their eyes.

【Teleportation Complete. Loading Common Language for Lava Plain.】

As soon as the teleportation was complete, Lu Heng opened his eyes and saw Su Muyu and Lin Ze Yu looking at him.

All three of them had teleported to the same location, a common occurrence due to the presence of a team contract, which usually ensured that team members arrived together.

There was a small chance that certain world events could cause individual members to teleport to unique locations, but this was rare.

The three of them found themselves in a stone house, not a prison cell or a prisoner transport, but a simple stone room.

The door to the stone house was open, and they were not confined.

Besides Lu Heng's team, there were seven other people in the stone house, making a total of ten individuals.

This Abyssal Battlefield seemed to be a large-scale operation, with at least ten participants. However, following the typical recruitment pattern for Abyssal Battlefields, it was unlikely that all metahumans would be teleported to the same location.

There were probably other metahumans in different areas, summoned from various places.

This suggested that the scale of this Abyssal Battlefield was at least twenty, or even thirty or more, participants.

As the people in the stone house woke up, they naturally formed three groups, each with a different number of members.

There were clearly three teams, with a 4-3-3 distribution.

Moreover, not all of the teams were from Daxia; one team consisted of three white people and one black person, and among the three white people was a beautiful blonde woman.

All three teams maintained a cautious stance but temporarily displayed a friendly demeanor.

Since this Abyssal Battlefield mode wasn't an Essence Contention Battle, a free-for-all at the start was unlikely.

Lu Heng quickly scanned the surroundings and noticed some peculiarities within the stone house.

For instance, on the floor, there were food wrappers.

Indeed, human-world food wrappers with the production company and date printed on them.

Lu Heng picked up a wrapper from a compressed cookie, held it up, and asked the other two teams, "Is this yours?"

The leaders of the other teams shook their heads, denying ownership.

There was no reason to lie about such a minor matter.

So, if not from the other teams, where did these wrappers come from? Lu Heng already had an answer, having encountered this situation numerous times in his previous life.

The blonde woman from the four-person team furrowed her brows and asked, "It's not yours either?"

Lu Heng shook his head, "It's not ours."

"If none of us brought it, then who did? Could it be that the Black Iron Clan here eats compressed cookies? Lying about this is pointless." The leader of the four-person team suspected someone was lying.

Lu Heng considered this and offered an explanation, "It's also possible that other metahumans were summoned here before us. Have you never encountered multiple summons for the same Abyssal Battlefield?"

Hearing Lu Heng's words, the members of the other two teams pondered and didn't raise further doubts.

If a previous batch of metahumans had already been summoned, the situation became more complex.

Typically, a second batch of metahumans was only summoned if the first batch failed their mission and couldn't resolve the crisis.

In other words, the previous batch of summoned metahumans might have been wiped out.
