“Get everything ready but do not act without my order. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable!

“Tianmin, you must understand that this isn’t a battle between us but a test.”

Su Mo heard the news of Feng Tianmin’s death through the radio too many times. Now, seeing the real person standing in front of him, Su Mo suddenly shook his head.

They charged into the frontline twenty-three times and died all twenty-three times.

Feng Tianmin, Feng Long, Du Shi, and all these soldiers had completely proved their loyalty to their territory and their allegiance to the shelter leader with their fearless deaths.

Su Mo could not bear to let these loyal soldiers die.

“But…” Feng Tianmin understood Su Mo’s intention but could not help wanting to refute it.

However, standing opposite him, Su Mo gently shook his head.

“After we surrender, what about you, shelter leader…” Feng Tianmin frowned.

“Go, Tianmin. It’s not your fate to sacrifice in vain. You guys should survive if things don’t work out.

“As for me, you don’t have to worry. They won’t be able to detain me!”

Su Mo reassured him again and turned back into the tent. His tall figure was occasionally visible when the lightning flashed in the sky.

In fact, Su Mo could evacuate with the whole team if he wanted to avoid this battle.

However, both parties had a component of the Divulgence of Heaven’s Secret and could sense each other.

They could escape for now but they would not be able to hide forever. This was a battle that was bound to happen sooner or later.

Instead of being passively forced into battle in the future, it was better to do it while they were at a geographical advantage and had great amounts of intel.

Even if it ended in failure, there would be enough room to maneuver around it and gain more information to have a comeback and take “revenge” next time.

…

Rumble! Rumble!

In the middle of the night, the lightning and thunderstorms in the sky did not gradually subside but became denser, as if the heavens wanted to punish the world.

After driving a dozen various vehicles to the foot of the snowy mountain, Sun Bahu stepped out of the car with a frown.

His body was like a burning furnace after the transformation.

The fine rain and snow hit his face and melted into water droplets in seconds, gently sliding down his steel-like skin.

The freezing cold that ordinary humans feared was nothing to him.

With his special structure, his body heat was locked under his skin, and it was hard for it to escape.

“The people are on the mountain?”

Taking out a few pale gold components in his pocket that were shaking violently, Sun Bahu frowned and placed them on a fairly clean spot on the ground.

Whoosh…

The moment they left his palm and touched the snow, the components began to spin widely and finally stopped after determining the direction.

‘It’s really on the mountain!’

Sun Bahu fiddled with them a few times and put away the components in surprise, looking at the snow-capped mountains after finding that the results were the same.

Previously, he could not sense anything when looking at the snow-capped mountain before the direction was determined.

However, looking up at the mountain now, a throbbing feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, conveying danger signals.

‘Interesting…Could it be this group of people on the mountain obtained supplies from a different ruin?’

This was the first time he had encountered such a warning after transforming himself.

This feeling told him that the opponent’s method did not rely on other weapons, but the opponent’s power came from itself.

It was like two male lions that had never met but could smell each other’s scents and sense each other’s strength from a distance.

The tall snow-capped mountain had a distance of three to four hundred meters.

Sun Bahu could clearly feel the opponent who had the mysterious component on the mountain was not inferior to him in combat strength.

It was even possible that he was…above him!

This sense of threat made Sun Bahu lick his lips and smile pervertedly with a murderous intention instead of fear.

Dangers represented profit.

The ordinary person, Sun Bahu, had “grown at rapid speed” ever since he took ownership of the ruins and opened it through various means to obtain the equipment within.

His growth journey was not the same as a regular territory lord that continuously sought to improve the management of their internal affairs, commanding abilities, and intelligence.

Instead, he took a very bizarre route that met the criteria for the candidate of the Blazelanders’ ruins—muscle, force, and combat strength.

Under the possibly intentional guidance of the ruins, the things he pursued had all become related to combat and strength.

‘The life and death of ordinary people?

‘Not a big deal! With strength, I can easily recruit a new batch of people after they die.

‘Territory development?

‘It doesn’t matter anymore. Do you have a great territory?

‘Sorry! It’s mine now!’

Before he knew it, Sun Bahu had been slowly brainwashed into someone who chased after strength.

Everything else could be compromised in the face of strength.

Anyone who prevented his strength from growing was his…enemy!

“Very good! Very good!”

Sun Bahu began to tremble after realizing that he was about to usher in a close battle!

When he returned to the vehicle, the team that was parked at the mountain foot headed toward the snow-capped mountain without hesitation.
