Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 183 The Great Demon King and the Fool

The commotion caused by the dome attracted the attention of most of the Honkai Beasts and the zombies. Anna seized the opportunity and quickly brought the brother and sister back to the base.

"How are they?"

The Valkyrie, who was in charge of medical care at the Manila base, immediately conducted a preliminary examination on Chen Tianwu and his sister.

"No major problems. Apart from exhaustion and some non-fatal injuries, there's not much else to worry about... The Honkai energy erosion level is very low. Was an inhibitor injected beforehand?"

"Very good……"

Hearing this, Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, their efforts paid off, and the person was saved...

Upon learning that the brother and sister in the hospital bed were safe and sound, Anna seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength and immediately slumped onto the empty hospital bed next to her.

After mental relaxation comes physical fatigue, which in turn leads to the natural relaxation of the hands.

Clang—

"Huh? A baseball bat?"

He was so relaxed that the baseball bat he was holding as a weapon slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Is this your weapon?

The healer Valkyrie bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Anna.

"No, it's not mine..."

Anna suddenly felt a little worried: she took more than just the baseball bat; she also took the Honkai energy suppressant that Sora always carried with her, as well as night vision goggles and a communicator. At the time, she acted impulsively and was pressured, and she didn't think about Sora at all...

In other words, Qiong likely has nothing but a gun right now—he's a reckless brute who doesn't consider the consequences; could he just be worn down to death in a fierce battle with the Honkai Beasts? Or perhaps, having lost his Honkai energy suppressant and being exposed to high concentrations of Honkai energy for an extended period, he'll eventually become a high-level suicide soldier…

“Qiong…”

Thinking of this, Anna had to stand up. She suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders: Quickly, organize people to support that guy!

"Please, please don't die..."

------------

"Come and bite me!"

Qiong's footprints traversed several streets, making as much noise as possible to attract the attention of the nearby Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors. Standing at the street corner, he looked at the gathering Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors and suddenly remembered the bomb Einstein had given him.

Right, he clearly has firearms, why doesn't he use them? Is he just keeping them for himself?

With a sly grin, Qiong took out the large metal ball, released the safety pin as Einstein had instructed, and hurled it at the Honkai Beast horde.

"Hmph, I'll treat you to a bomb!"

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the bomb exploded in mid-air. A massive shockwave instantly spread outwards, sending fireballs soaring into the sky, briefly illuminating the already dim heavens. The explosion was deafening.

Many Honkai Beasts were blasted to pieces, and a number of assassins also fell. However, due to the close proximity, Qiong was also impacted by the shockwave, but the sound of the explosion was so loud and sharp that his ears were ringing.

hum ---

Qiong shook her head, trying to alleviate the tinnitus.

Thump—thump—thump—

In terms of results, the bomb was quite effective; except for some large-tonnage Honkai Beasts, most of the enemies at the center of the explosion were killed.

But it was a losing proposition! Not only did he end up looking disheveled, but he also developed tinnitus: it might be a hallucination, because as Qiong looked at the two Lava Emperors approaching step by step, he seemed to hear a "Watch out"?

You must be hallucinating!

Just as Qiong thought he had misheard, a strangely shaped jeep suddenly emerged from the rubble and rushed towards him.

Sitting in the car was a strategist with sunglasses and a white-haired man who was driving.

"Hey, get in the car!"

"you?"

Although Qiong didn't understand the situation, he didn't have time to figure it out when facing two Lava Emperors, so he could only jump into the car without hesitation.

"Helia, speed up!"

"understood!"

With his long legs slamming on the gas, the jeep accelerated instantly, quickly leaving the Honkai Beasts behind.

"not me……"

He wanted to lure the Lava Emperor even further!

“Young Valkyrie, I know you have many questions in your heart and are eager to get the answers, right?”

The strategist, wearing sunglasses, had a slight smile on her lips and was wagging her tail incessantly, indicating that she was in a very good mood.

Qiong: ...

"Did you recognize my voice, young man? I'm Coralie, the one who called you!"

"Corallie, don't go too far!"

Helia, who was focused on driving, expressed her disapproval of her teammate's behavior of harassing the younger senior.

"Alright, alright, I know! This is so boring... You must have been surprised to see us, right?"

Qiong stared at Coral with dead fish eyes, unsure of what to say.

"You can call me Prophet Coralli or Great Demon King Coralli. She is my foolish subordinate, Helia. Unfortunately, although I know you are an alien and know what will happen in the future, I can't say anything, and you shouldn't ask anything either."

"okay."

I'm sorry, I think I know.

Qiong put away her Flame Spear, took a bottle of water from Helia, and quietly watched Coralie's performance.

This is clearly a ploy to get him to ask more questions and then set a trap for him to fall into, right? You cunning strategist, your smile and your tail have already given you away!

Playing hard to get? Well, I don't care.

Coralie frowned at Qiong's reaction: Something's not right, there's no reaction at all? This doesn't make sense!

She had originally planned to have Qiong beg her a couple of times, but then she mercifully allowed him to exchange ice cream for some unimportant information (roughly): such as that he would be engaged to a future teacher named St. Freya in a certain year and month...

If Helia has any objections, then we'll just give her one.

But her plan had stalled at the very first step? But words spoken are like water spilled; once spilled, they cannot be taken back. Coralie had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.

"Simply put, all you need to know is that we're here to pick you up. How about it? The location and Honkai time I gave you were roughly correct, right? No need to thank me, I, the Great Demon King Coralie, do good deeds without expecting anything in return—but if you insist on thanking me, I'll reluctantly accept it, just treat me to ice cream for a few months!"

"Coralie!"

Helia suddenly felt that her teammates were incredibly shameless (though Coralie could be quite shameless sometimes). What was this? This was bullying their senior! They had no shame whatsoever!

But Helia's reprimand did not deter Coralie.

"See how reliable we are? We told you about the Honkai and even saved your life. So..."

Although Qiong could probably manage to escape after dealing with the Honkai Beasts.

At that moment, the car suddenly jolted violently.

"You idiot Helia, how do you drive?"

"How can you blame me?!"

Helia gripped the steering wheel tightly and shouted.

"Don't you even see how many Honkai Beasts are blocking your way!"

Coralie, however, didn't seem to care.

"No problem! Go, Helia, take out your 100% accurate crossbow and show him what's what—or just ram him with the jeep!"

"Coralie! Can't you help me? This isn't a drill!"

Although she complained, her actions betrayed her words. Helia skillfully picked up the crossbow beside her, opened the carriage window, and leaned out. She aimed at the Honkai Beasts ahead, her movements fluid and precise, and with a series of thuds, bolts flew out. The glowing bolts seemed to have eyes, accurately striking one Honkai Beast after another.

Wow, that's amazing!

Qiong couldn't help but admire it, it truly lived up to its reputation as the Divine Archer Bang Bang Crossbow, it could hit the target every time, even a moving target.

"Hmph, of course. Helia was an absolute top student in our year. Apart from being a little too rigid, you would hardly find any fault with her."

Coralie was lavish in her praise of Helia, as if the achievement were her own.

"Speaking of which, where are we going?"

"Of course, it's the base of Destiny."

Coralie answered without hesitation.

The jeep they "borrowed" from Anti-Entropy happened to have a map on it. They had originally planned to go directly to help, and now that they had rescued Qiong, going to help was the same thing.

"But... isn't that Anti-Entropy's base?"

"how do you know?"

Coralie was immediately curious. Did Qiong have a connection with Anti-Entropy so early on?

"Because I'm from that area."

"Shouldn't you have said it? Aren't you afraid that we, the Valkyries of Destiny, will report you for treason?"

"hehe."

Qiong shut his mouth; he needed to rest for a while.

------------------

Where did that guy go?

With the Sea Lion Squad wiped out and more than half of the Snow Lotus Squad members absent from the base, leaving them with extremely limited manpower, Anna barely managed to persuade Emilia and the others to spare a few people to assist her in carrying out a search and rescue mission. Anyone who knew the inside story could see that Anna's eagerness for the search and rescue was inextricably linked to the Valkyrie from the Far East Branch.

Anna led her team in a cautious search, carefully examining each spot for any traces left by Qiong, but found none.

"I can't find it anywhere..."

A nameless fear crept into Anna's heart, and she instinctively clutched the half of the pendant she had kept.

Anna's hands were trembling; she seemed terrified. The other members of the Snow Lotus team could tell.

"Anna, didn't you say he was amazing and single-handedly defeated the Ice Emperor? Don't worry, such a powerful Valkyrie will be fine."

"But his enemies are two Lava Emperors, two of them! What if he runs out of strength? What if his corruption goes too deep?"

“Anna…”

The teammates stopped trying to persuade him; finding someone was more meaningful than trying to talk him out.
