Universe Infinite Canteen

It wasn't until the elevator reached the 1st level that the six guards hadn't spoken another word.

As the elevator doors opened, a squad of fully-armed knights was already waiting there, but before they could shout orders conveying Li Wei's command, they were horrified to find that they had lost contact with their armor.

The heavy armor pressed down on them, making it difficult to even take a step.

Ma Lu walked over, lifted one of the knights, armor and all, and set him aside to create a passage through the cordon.

After scanning the surroundings, the Holy stone that symbolized order and shelter overhead had indeed disappeared, replaced by chaos and broken fragments on the ground.

Ma Lu called over a nun from the corner, remembering she seemed to be the person in charge of reception on the 1st level.

"Where's the battle horse I requested?"

Ma Lu didn't hold much hope, it was just an offhand question.

To his surprise, however, the nun said, "It has, has already been brought out and is waiting outside."

And the other guards in the hall didn't seem intent on stopping them either.

It seemed that Yong Yi's divine decree still held sway in the Church, and besides those knights who obeyed Li Wei, no one else pursued the matter of Ma Lu's forceful ascent.

Pleased with the answer, Ma Lu asked the nun, "What is your name?"

"El... Ellie." the nun responded, trembling with fear.

"Very well, starting from tomorrow, your salary will be doubled," Ma Lu said as he pulled out his personal terminal, located the human resources department, cooperated with the translator, and searched for the name Ellie.

To his surprise, the search turned up 3 Ellies.

Without the will to check in detail, Ma Lu doubled all their salaries and continued to the outside as he operated the terminal.

There sat a black aircraft.

Compared to his previous battle horse, this black battle horse was nearly twice the size and was covered in armor, looking like a phantom in the night.

Ma Lu and the four witches boarded the new aircraft and then headed towards the location where they had previously hidden the thermos.

The new battle horse wasn't only larger in space and more stylish in appearance but also had much stronger power; a slight push on the joystick immediately gave Ma Lu a strong sense of propulsion.

Carrying them, it soared over the towering walls of the Holy Temple City, leaped over a large group of energized plants outside, and flew towards the Goladot Mountains to the north.

In the end, it took only an hour and a half to reach the destination of this trip.

By then, night had completely fallen, and it was pitch black below.

Ma Lu arrived at the location in his memory; during his last visit, he had already cleared the nearby energized plants.

However, to his surprise, when he came again, he encountered a six-star Burdock ninja below.

Ma Lu was not alarmed but pleased; the Burdock ninja wasn't large, only slightly bigger than a normal adult, probably not weighing more than 200 pounds, a very rare six-star creature, perfect for dragging back to the Desktop Farm for breeding.

He had initially wanted to use the Blue Mini Drill to stun and subdue it directly.

But at the last moment, he changed his mind; Yun Que and the others had also received new equipment, so it was a good opportunity to practice on this Burdock ninja and also to test another one of his theories.

So, following Ma Lu's command, the Hellhounds were the first to pounce on the Burdock ninja, and true to its ninja name, it lived up to its reputation.

Sensing imminent danger, he immediately used the Earth Escape Skill and performed a vanishing act right before everyone's eyes.

However, it's unknown if his skills were not fully mastered, for although his body disappeared, the huge green leaf above his head remained on the ground.

The girl with purple hair reached for the green leaf and yanked hard, but there was nothing underneath.

At the same time, behind her, the Burdock Ninja, as quiet as a ghost, emerged from his hiding spot, then, without any hesitation, threw several hidden weapons, shooting them at the Hellhound!

Those hidden weapons were actually the flowers of the Burdock Ninja.

The flowers of the Burdock bloom into a ball, coated with sharp, fine needles that can easily prick any person or animal passing by. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

The Burdock Ninja before them was undoubtedly more dangerous; his floral spikes were as hard as steel needles and could explode a second time after detaching from his body, shooting all the attached spikes at once.

With a large attack range and the combination of his unpredictable escape skills, once he got close it was very difficult to dodge.

The Hellhound sensed the danger but was already too late to avoid it.

In that critical moment, she could only manage to turn half her body, raising her Mechanical Arm in front of her.

Six of the flowers exploded almost simultaneously in front of her, and the floral spikes hit the Mechanical Arm, emitting a dense tinkling sound.

Although the girl with purple hair managed to block, the surface area of the Mechanical Arm wasn't that big, and some spikes still got through.

The spikes penetrated her left chest but failed to pierce her skin, being intercepted by an invisible force.

A newly-acquired Air Shield Ring on the ring finger of the girl with purple hair's left hand created an air shield around her body, deflecting the remaining damage.

Having missed its target, the Burdock Ninja did not engage further and quickly used the Earth Escape Skill again, attempting to conceal himself.

However, the Bliss Bird and others nearby were not just onlookers.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, Yun Que had already taken the initiative, hitting the Burdock Ninja.

Following the way of the ninja, which is to avoid direct confrontation and maintain stealth, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, he would only pause momentarily when striking.

Therefore, hitting him was no easy task.

In the past, Yun Que definitely couldn't have managed this, but now her new equipment had increased her aiming speed and shooting accuracy by 230% and 300%, respectively, greatly enhancing her ability to seize opportunities.

And it also knocked 122 points off of the Burdock Ninja's HP.

It's worth noting that although the Burdock Ninja's defensive power wasn't high when compared to other 6-star Energized Plants, it was actually at 37 points.

Even the slightly weaker witches were unable to break its defenses, while Yun Que's current base attack value had undoubtedly far exceeded this number, in addition to critical hit and damage bonuses.

In the end, she dealt triple-digit damage, and her shot also inflicted the Burdock Ninja with bleeding and a slowdown effect, not only continuously reducing its HP but also slowing its movements.

This gave the Ouroboros Serpent time to chant a spell, and right before the Burdock Ninja could dive underground again, she unleashed her signature skill—the Giant Wave Spell, only this time the damage was nearly double that of before.

Landing on the Burdock Ninja, it dealt a staggering 472 points of damage, and more crucially, the Giant Wave slapped the Burdock Ninja toward the Hellhound, who had been itching to join the fray.

The corners of the purple-haired girl's mouth lifted, revealing a sinister smile, as a fiery red Curved Blade in her left hand traced an arc, slashing onto the Burdock Ninja.

The slash was so powerful that it severed one of the Burdock Ninja's arms!
