Chapter 539 The Soft Ringing of Bells
On Bedrock Island, a black reef about 15 feet tall.
As if someone had planted explosives inside it, it suddenly exploded into pieces with a thunderous boom!
Behind the reef, several figures in exploration camouflage were revealed.
These people looked disheveled.
All of them had injuries to varying degrees!
Among them, a tall Victorian man looked the worst - his right arm had been severed earlier and was barely tied up with torn cloth strips. The jagged stump was soaked in bright red blood, a truly frightening sight!
Among this group, a beautiful woman in camouflage shorts with a ponytail stood out the most!
Her face was tense. "Everyone fall back, head deeper into the island. Buy as much time as we can!"
Several people helped the one-armed man and continued retreating, their movements clumsy!
They had just moved behind another reef!
Boom!
This reef exploded again, forcing them to flee once more!
During their retreat, one team member raised his weapon to cover the group and fired a shot into the distance!
The gun in his hands was no ordinary weapon.
It was much wider and larger than regular firearms!
The gun body was covered with electronic components. On the streamlined barrel, the chamber area glowed with a faint blue light.
And the bullet he fired was a beam of azure laser!
This laser beam shot straight through like a blue line cutting across the sky!
It struck directly at two figures standing on a distant reef!
These two figures stood on the wind-swept reef, radiating light like two golden armored war gods!
Their entire bodies were wrapped in golden armor, the pieces fitting together perfectly, like gilded ancient warriors!
The blue laser passed through the reef, causing it to shatter and crumble!
But when it hit the golden armored figures, it only created ripples across their bodies before the attack power disappeared!
And the weapons these two golden armored figures used were quite unusual!
One held a 15-foot-long golden whip!
Though it now hung casually toward the ground, the power contained within it was not to be underestimated!
The other one's weapon was even more classical!
It was actually a 3-foot-tall golden slingshot!
This slingshot was carved with intricate patterns, carrying a sacred aura!
The person conjured a palm-sized golden projectile and loaded it onto the golden slingshot!
Through the gaps in his face armor, his cold eyes were visible!
He suddenly pulled back the slingshot with force, and the golden projectile shot out!
Gold.
One of the densest metals!
That single golden projectile weighed over ten pounds!
Boom!
The projectile hit a reef, and the reef was once again shattered by the tremendous force!
The several camouflaged warriors were exposed again and could only flee in panic!
"Ms. Nguyen, my photon wave weapon is completely useless against them!"
"Gold's atomic stability is too strong, it can't be broken down!"
"All we can do is run for our lives!"
During their escape, one camouflaged warrior shouted to the ponytailed beauty!
This team was the same archaeological squad led by Rachel that Elbert had encountered in the desert!
However, their equipment was proof enough that they were no ordinary archaeological team!
Rachel was also somewhat panicked at this moment!
After going through countless hardships, they had finally found one of the newest ruins of this Golden City!
But they never expected to encounter descendants of the Golden Kingdom here!
And their armor perfectly countered their weapons!
Everyone hid again in a deep area full of jagged reefs!
Rachel gripped the copper bell in her hand, her eyes full of hope!
"Sigh..."
The one-armed team member let out a long sigh.
This person was team member Hall, also a brother from Rachel's family!
He had once competed with Elbert in a train car!
In the previous battle, he had carelessly let one of the golden figures blow off his right arm!
He grimaced now. "Rachel, I suddenly realize your bell is useless!"
"Even if he's powerful, he doesn't have the ability to teleport. Who knows what corner of the world he's in right now? By the time he gets here, we'll be long dead!"
Rachel frowned deeply.
Even during this brief moment of respite, she remained silent, gently shaking the bell in her hand!
The expedition team members all fell silent!
"At a time like this, how can we rely on this little bell?"
One team member stood up and said, "I've already contacted the elders in my family. Their aircraft are very fast and equipped with high-powered photon cannons. They'll definitely make it in time to save us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glimmer of hope barely rose in everyone's hearts.
But the next moment!
Boom!
The reef they were relying on was once again shattered by a metal projectile!
Everyone was about to get up and run for their lives.
But they saw two blinding golden lights behind them!
Their only escape route was blocked - standing on the left and right were those two golden figures!
The two golden armored figures stood silently, like death's gaze itself!
The archaeological team's spines went cold!
The team members quickly raised their weapons and shouted, "You should know what our family is capable of. If you kill us, think about the consequences!"
But it was clear to see that these team members' hands were trembling slightly!
"Hmph!"
The golden armored figure holding the whip let out a disdainful snort, which was answer enough!
He dragged his whip and slowly approached!
Ding ding ding...
In Rachel's hand behind her back, she was still shaking that small copper bell!
In the eyes of the archaeological team members, this was meaningless!
In the eyes of the two golden armored figures, this was just trembling!
The golden armored figure with the slingshot was conjuring a projectile, preparing to deliver a fatal strike!
But he suddenly froze!
He looked up at the sky!
The other golden armored figure did the same!
The team members didn't understand why, but instinctively looked up too!
The sky was blue with only a few scattered clouds, very peaceful!
But faintly, a small sound of something cutting through the air could be heard!
Like a whistle calling from the clouds!
A black dot appeared in people's vision, falling rapidly, growing larger and larger!
Boom!
With a tremendous crash that followed!
A human figure, like a javelin, fell straight down to the ground!
The ground of this stone island, with him at the center, developed spider-web-like cracks!
Even seawater seeped out!
Along the shore, some reefs loosened and sank into the sea!
"Rachel, don't worry. As long as I'm here, they won't advance another step!"
This person stood with his hands behind his back, his slightly long hair flowing in the sea breeze!
It was Elbert, who had rushed here at top speed!
Because the situation was critical, he had no choice but to jump from the Celestial Pioneer thousands of feet in the air!
But his new human body was solid as rock!
Not only was he completely unharmed, he made the entire island tremble!
