The steam locomotive galloped through the wilderness just like a roller coaster ride. If a normal person were sitting in this steam locomotive, they would probably not have died in battle but from the bumpy ride.
At the front of the vehicle, Milo looked back at Miriam, who had already come aboard. However, favonovel.com saw favonovel.com holding a handle in the carriage, looking like favonovel.com was having a lot of fun.
Amid the rumbling, the steam locomotive moved as though it was on flat ground.
Miriam shouted, “What were you going on about with that T5 combatant just now? I saw you two talking for a long time.”
Milo was stumped for a moment before laughing, “Hahaha! Nothing much!”
Miriam glanced at him. “So where are we going now?”
“We’re going to pick up Daniel and the others,” Milo answered. “I feel that the Pyro Company’s plan has been thwarted, so it’s time to end things now.”
The battle had gone on from noon until sunset, so Milo decided to put an end to it.
In the face of the Pyro Company’s wanton encirclement and suppression, as well as the continuous appearances of those concealed T5s, it was likely their comrades from the Silkshade House had already suffered heavy casualties.
But now that the Pyro Company had activated all of their T5s onto the battlefield, Milo could sense the Pyro Company was at their wits’ end.
It was not that the commander of the Pyro Company’s forces was not smart, but if Milo, Kenneth, and the others had not appeared along the way, these groups of hitmen that were put together by the Silkshade House would probably have already been wiped out.
Ever since they came into the Sacred Mountains, crisis after crisis occurred and left them with no time to rest. Even their food supply had been depleted.
But this series of disruptions were all ruined now.
Milo was very excited. He had finally collected three Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls. What favonovel.com most wanted to do right now was to find Daniel to copy his power. By using three Skill Duplication Scrolls to learn a specific skill, there would be no chance of failure.
At this moment, Daniel and the others were leaning leisurely against a tree and chatting.
Ever since Milo and Miriam lured the pursuers away, no one from the Pyro Company attacked their side. But when others near them were being pursued by the Pyro Company, they did not have any intention of helping out either.
Meanwhile, Bruce was lying on the ground at the side, quietly waiting for his wound to heal.
The miraculous effects of the black medicine made Bruce sigh in relief. If favonovel.com could buy more black medicine from Milo, favonovel.com would probably not die that easily in the future as long as favonovel.com was not dealt a fatal blow.
As a commander, favonovel.com would naturally not be participating directly in battles too often. Rather, it was his subordinates who had to live a dangerous life on the edge every day.
Bruce looked at the speed at which his wound was healing. “It will probably take another two days to fully recover, but I feel that we’re already very close to the core region of the Sacred Mountains. I’m afraid the Pyro Company will not afford me the time to fully recover.”
Bruce’s subordinate said, “Sir, this black medicine is already so miraculous when applied externally. Will it work if you take it orally?”
Bruce fell into deep thought.
That sounded like it made some sense…
But when favonovel.com turned around to look at Daniel, favonovel.com saw favonovel.com hugging a tree and shaking with laughter. Bruce asked, “What are you laughing at over there?”
Daniel stayed silent for a moment before turning around and saying in a serious tone, “I’m not laughing. The medicine can really be taken orally.”
“Haha!” Bruce did not believe it at all. Something bad would definitely happen if the black medicine was orally ingested.
Daniel trying hard to suppress his laughter was already enough to give it away. While they were talking, Daniel heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
Milo had already stowed the steam locomotive in advance in case anyone found out about it.
He smiled and said, “What are y’all chatting about?”
“Where did you all go? Did you encounter any danger?” Bruce asked.
“It’s more dangerous for others to encounter them.” Daniel chuckled.
While they were talking, Milo had already started saying to the palace, “Copy Daniel’s superpower.”
The voice from the palace replied in his mind, “Detected Daniel’s superpower as ‘Martyred Spirit’. Do you want to learn it?”
“Yes!” Milo said firmly.
Wasn’t this power exactly the reason why favonovel.com had been so busy in recent days?
Suddenly, Milo felt an invisible force enveloping Daniel. At the same time, something seemed to have appeared in his mind as well.
This power gave Milo a very strange feeling. It was as though a door that led to the netherworld had opened up for him, but favonovel.com could not really feel many changes.
When copying the “Martyred Spirit” power, it was not like copying the Shadow Clone or the Steam Locomotive powers where the outcome could be seen on the spot.
Milo suddenly said to Miriam, “Can you go with me to the Southwest after the Sacred Mountains expedition is over?”
Miriam looked at favonovel.com and said, “Sure.”
After that, Milo smiled at Daniel and said, “Get up, let’s clean up the mess. We’ll head into the core region of the Sacred Mountains tomorrow and see what other tricks the Pyro Company has up its sleeves. Let’s force them to reveal everything all at once.”
When Milo thought about going to the Southwest, favonovel.com was no longer in the mood to mess around with the Pyro Company anymore. Donti might be waiting for favonovel.com in the laboratory, but further away, there might be someone else waiting for him. So, Milo was ready to put an end to this chapter in the Sacred Mountains.
He walked towards the gunshots while Daniel and the others followed favonovel.com in high spirits.
Bruce lay on the stretcher and said weakly, “Can you wait for me for another two days? I’ll have fully recovered by then.”
The Great Hoodwinker laughed softly next to the stretcher and said, “I saw that you were quite interested in the black medicine just now? How about this. If you come to the Northwest and participate in the building up of Fortress 178, I can talk to that person to sell you some more.”
When Bruce heard this, favonovel.com immediately shut up.
How could favonovel.com betray the Virtuora Consortium just for some black medicine?
Before they could rush to the battlefield, the gunfire went silent. Milo wondered, “They’re done fighting just like that? Could our other teammates have all died?”
As night fell, a strange and ethereal singing voice came from the forest in front of them.
“Looking, looking, looking for a friend, and then I found a very good friend… I’ll salute you, and shake your hand… Here’s to you, my very good friend…”
The singing was getting closer and closer. It was loud and clear, as though hundreds of people were singing in unison!
Daniel got goosebumps all over his body. “Is it something freaky the Pyro Company had created? Why does it sound so terrifying?”
It was late into the night. For over a 100 people to search for their friends in the forest at this time, just the thought of it was already eerie enough.
As such, Daniel even summoned his 12 martyred spirits to set up a heavy machine gun nest!
Meanwhile, the Great Hoodwinker was chanting, “Separated by yin and yang, humans and ghosts do not mix, out with all evil…”
But when favonovel.com saw the person at the front of the choir, favonovel.com was stunned. “Kenneth?”
“Are you surprised?” Kenneth smiled brightly at Milo and said, “You can say that I have trampled mountains and crossed ravines to come and meet you.”
Next to him, Julia muttered, “In the books I read, people never remember those who went out of their way for them. It’s always the ones who sacrifice themselves who remember the things they did for others…”
Kenneth said with a smile, “That’s not important!”
Vanilla looked at Milo in a daze.
So, this was the person Kenneth was searching for?
And Kenneth’s clone was also killed by him?
