Chapter 20: The Sudden Attack of the Enemy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After listening to Branch’s words, Rollin was at a loss. What bad timing! it was the worst time for a war to start!

Helpless, Rollin had to call his grandfather’s number. This time, it was not his grandfather Twain, who answered the phone, but the old butler.

“Young Master, the Master has been very busy recently. If you have anything to say to him, just tell me directly.”

Rollin immediately asked about the war.

“Regarding this war, it’s a game between the United States of Earth and the four great families!”

“Auventin has monopolized the resources of Mars for years, and it has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many powers and countries. Now, all the countries and the other three great families have already joined forces to launch a war against the Auventin family. This war won’t last for long. It will be over in half a year’s time!”

“You’re located at the point of occupation of the Linsi-osh family. They are a friendly family with us, the Stoke family. At the same time, the current head of the family is also a good friend of your father.”

After hearing this news, Branch could not help but widen his eyes in surprise.

“I say, Rollin, can you be more careful and not talk about these kind of secrets? Don’t just casually talk about it in my room!”

Seeing the nervous Branch, Rollin reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

“This is not a big deal. The most important reason I let you know is that I want you to live an easy life in this area. Aren’t we friends?”

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand. Seeing the nonchalant expression on Rollin’s face, Branch smiled happily and raised the wine glass as a toast.

At night, Rollin recalled the matter regarding Delia’s father and sent a text message over.

[Mars is currently at a war stage. There’s no way to leave. We can only meet another day depending on the situation!]

Early the next morning, Rollin resupplied his ammunition and left Branch’s forging workshop. This time, he needed to find the corpse of an S rank thunderstorm beast.

The thunderstorm beast was an extremely popular star beast. This was because a small piece of the corpse of a thunderstorm beast was enough for a medium-sized city to produce a year’s worth of electricity!

Energy was the thing that was most lacking at all times. Therefore, once there were clues about the corpse of a thunderstorm beast, the Star Beast Hunters would all move out to find it.

The number of adventurers in the vicinity of the 20th underground ruin in Area B increased.

Every 100 meters or less, one could see the small team sitting by a bonfire and roasting something.

When they saw the Rollin traveling alone, the Star Beast Hunters in this area all turned their heads to look at him. There was no lack of people with bad intentions.

Seeing so many people, Rollin hung his weapon on his waist and left this group of people, walking towards the 20th underground ruins.

Not long after he went down, a few teams with malicious intentions started to go after him. After entering the cave, Rollin immediately quickened his pace and sped underground.

The few teams behind him lost their target as soon as they entered the cave.

“Damn, this kid is really slippery. He disappeared in the blink of an eye!”

“Chase him! Even if you have to search for hours, you have to find him!”

The three teams that entered the cave immediately searched in three different directions.

While they were searching, Rollin had already arrived at the fifth underground floor.

As a precaution, Rollin picked up a few common rocks on the ground, marked them, and threw them into the distance. This was to prevent him from not being able to escape when he was surrounded.

Area B, Ruin No. 20, was much more dangerous than the previous underground ruins! When he first arrived, Rollin had already sensed that more than ten teams had planet-level strength.

Moreover, in the small teams that had chased him down, each team had a person who had already reached the initial-stage of the star traveller level.

Fortunately, Rollin had used his phase shift in time and constantly moved from all four corners before he disappeared from their field of vision.

After preparing an escape route and setting up a warning trap, he arrived at the point designated by the system and started digging.

In a certain corner of this world, Delia was in an unfamiliar city.

She had been here for half a month and discovered a very big problem — this was not her world at all.

Moreover, all the structures were different. Through the star map, Delia discovered that she was currently in an unknown star field. According to her search, this place belonged to a corner of the world that did not exist.

At first, she was still a little unaccustomed to it. However, she held the Star Beast Hunter’s license, so it was very easy for her to obtain a lot of information from the Star Beast Hunter’s Chamber of Commerce.

After completing her mission every day, her favorite thing to do was to look at the sky full of stars, wanting to see the planet Rollin was on.

Some time ago, she clearly felt a trace of longing, a longing that came from Rollin. Although she did not know how it was conveyed, Delia was certain that she was in the same universe as Rollin, only that there was a great distance between them.

Her gaze was very firm. She believed that Rollin would definitely be far away, waiting for her to return.

In the cave, Rollin rested for a while. After just half an hour, he was awakened by the triggered trap. Standing up, Rollin immediately used his spirit power to cover the area. Very quickly, he found the location of the person who had triggered the trap.

That person had sensed the abnormality and immediately retreated from this area. This caused Rollin to be startled awake and heave a sigh of relief.

“Phew! Fortunately, it’s just a passerby!”

There was an unwritten rule in the underground ruins. When Star Beast Hunters were discovered, they were not allowed to casually step into other people’s territory.

If it was a necessary path, they could pass by. If it was not, they had to leave this area as soon as possible. If they were to rashly advance, then it would be a battle to the death.

After resetting the security device, he returned to the cave to continue digging.

His originally light-hearted work had become unusually heavy because of Delia’s disappearance.

“Hey, Delia, where exactly are you?! Do you know how much I miss you?!”

At this moment, the security trap had been triggered again. A five-man team had already stealthily surrounded him.

“Big brother, this time, this kid won’t be able to escape!”

The leader was only skin and bones, but his eyes were exceptionally fierce. After hearing his subordinate’s words, he slapped him on the head. “Kid, can you keep your voice down!? What if he hears us?”

Both of their voices were exceptionally loud, immediately putting Rollin in high alert!

‘Do these people really have nothing to do?’ Thinking of this, he took out the Mammoth revolvers from his folded space bag.

After checking the bullets in the two revolvers, he realized that they had all been filled up. 

Wielding his revolvers, he released his telekinesis and checked the surroundings.

Rollin confirmed the positions of the five people around him, and he silently moved behind them..
