Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 688 - Five Hundred and Two: Heavenly Position Numbering_4

"Let's go." A mysterious Quantum Entanglement was established between the two men and Modric, then they flew toward the valley together.

To say they flew together... meant Balermo was carrying Chen Gu in one hand as he plunged downward.

BOOM—

The rocket pack on Balermo's back spewed high-speed flames as he plunged into the valley. However, his "ambush" seemed to have been anticipated by the monsters there.

Giant leaves unfurled, revealing huge floral mouths underneath, lined with sharp teeth.

CRACK! CRACK!

The floral maws opened and closed, their sharp teeth grating with a clang!

A thick fog quickly rose.

Simultaneously, the ground cracked open, forming huge black holes from which thick plant stems emerged. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM... Giant spikes shot out like missiles!

Swearing profusely, Balermo fired his energy rapid-fire gun, intercepting and blasting several spikes mid-flight.

The massive shockwave from the explosions blew both men hundreds of meters away. Balermo shouted, "The power of these things is comparable to ordinary land-based missiles!"

Chen Gu wasn't surprised at all; he had "seen" all this through the Heavenly Code Number 4-11 device. But what truly worried him was something else. "Your Excellency, please be careful," he warned. "I've always suspected that the SOS signal is a trap set by these monsters."

"The Digital Group behind them knows the power of the Star State very well, but I still can't figure out what methods they have to deal with high-level practitioners!"

Balermo laughed heartily, retaliating fiercely with various high-powered weapons that blasted large craters into the ground and shredded the plant-animal hybrids. He shouted, "That's for you to worry about; your brain works better than mine!"

As he spoke, the two landed. Immediately, the huge, toothed floral maws fiercely stretched out from all around, snapping viciously at them.

Balermo let out a long howl. The heavy Mecha encasing him suddenly loosened as his body swelled, instantly transforming him into a titan over ten meters tall!

The Mecha, though transformed, still enveloped him, but it had shifted from a heavy Mecha to a "light Mecha."

The large-caliber energy cannon had become... a small handgun.

Balermo, pulling a huge battle-axe from somewhere, brandished it and leaped hundreds of meters. He swung the axe, continuously chopping the toothed floral maws to pieces.

Upon landing, Chen Gu transformed into a cloud of gas with a PUFF and began to drift through the thick fog.

There must be some ambush, something capable of taking on an Eighth Energy Level, or even a Ninth Power Level practitioner! He searched covertly but found nothing.

Balermo roared, "Captain Chen, head for the fortress! The mission is urgent!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He rushed toward the stronghold entrance, and Chen Gu had no choice but to follow.

The entrance was two hundred meters high and half-collapsed. Back when the fortress was built, such an entrance should have accommodated the landing and takeoff of heavy surface combat aircraft.

Just as Balermo reached the entrance, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed with a ROAR. A hundred-meter-wide gaping maw surged up from below, swallowed him whole, and began to chew vigorously.

This gaping maw, unlike the toothed floral ones, was the head of a colossal beast. It had no eyes, resembled a toad, and was lined with layers of serrated teeth.

Connected to the back of this maw was an immensely thick, ancient vine. It writhed, flinging the maw into the sky as it shook and chewed frantically.

Chen Gu instantly appeared beside the ancient vine, ready to strike. However, he saw the plant-animal hybrid suddenly begin to tremble violently. Sharp silver light then burst from the gaps between the maw's teeth, followed by a loud BANG, and the maw completely exploded. Balermo, wreathed in smoke, burst out. He swung his axe forcefully, chopping the ancient vine to pieces. "Damn it!" he roared. "Trying to eat me? I'll smash every tooth in your head!"

Chen Gu breathed a sigh of relief, still maintaining his gaseous form as he drifted towards the fortress interior.

Just tens of meters inside, they encountered an obstacle: a rusty but still well-sealed alloy door.

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP... Balermo strode forward and, without a second glance, chopped at the door with his axe.

BOOM!

The entire cavern shook violently. Balermo was thrown back several steps, but this only ignited the ferocity of the high-energy Hell Titan within him. He pounded his chest, roared, and struck down hard with his axe again.

BOOM—

The axe pierced straight through the alloy door. With a few more swings, Balermo widened the breach enough for him to squeeze through.

Chen Gu praised, "Brilliant!"
