Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 196 East African Kingdom

After everyone dispersed, Ji Xinghuo did not go home. Instead, he went to the Sharp Sword Bureau base. When he returned home late at night, the purple electric sword he had been carrying with him was missing.

 The next day.

Not long after dawn, Ji Xinghuo received a message from Yuan Chongzhen. He had returned from the star realm and agreed to join the team and was ready to set off at any time.

Ji Xinghuo pulled the whole team into a group and announced the gathering time and location.

12 o'clock noon.

Ji Xinghuo put on the composite ceramic armor that he had not worn for a long time. Moyin and Lei Chi were carried side by side on their backs, as well as invisible thorns and quivers. There was an "iron hammer" and a bullet chain hidden in his waist, carrying the wrath of the sky. Bixue Gun took a taxi to a small landing pad not far from home and entered the waiting room.

 He saw Lu Yunhai at a glance.

 “Xing…” Lu Yunhai stood up and waved, but stopped midway through calling his name, “Here!”

Ji Xinghuo walked over and said with a smile, "Are you here so early?"

“It was my first time to participate in hunting. I was a little nervous. I was afraid of being late, so I set off two hours early.” Lu Yunhai explained.

 He is dressed similarly to Ji Xinghuo.

 Wearing a lightweight yet tough composite ceramic armor, he carries a compound bow on his back, and two knives, one long and one short, hanging on his waist, one is a combat knife and the other is a wilderness survival knife.

 The most eye-catching thing is the battle pet next to him, which looks like a wolf and a dog, but is much larger than an average wolfdog. It squatted on the ground, its head was as high as an adult's shoulders, its body was thick and strong, its hair was black and brown, its canine teeth were huge and sharp, its eyes were sharp, and its nose twitched from time to time.

 This is the ancient hunting hound.

Ji Xinghuo observed it twice and nodded secretly.

 This battle pet is very powerful and has a variety of abilities. It is top-notch even among elite monsters.

 On Earth, no war pet company has yet mastered the method of artificially breeding ancient hunting dogs. Currently, they are captured in the star realm and then spend several years to tame them.

 Such an elite battle pet costs almost five million Asian dollars.

"good."

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Your girlfriend's family is very generous and bought you such a good battle pet."

“Actually, I’ve also benefited from you.” Lu Yunhai shook his head, “If I weren’t your good friend, Yinping’s parents wouldn’t have invested so much in me, no matter how good they were to me.”

To a certain extent, he is now in a relationship with a rich woman.

"Anyway, as long as you can improve your strength, don't think about anything else." Of course Ji Xinghuo would not look down on his friend because of this.

Lu Yunhai smiled and said, "I understand."

　　Then he asked in a low voice: "Who are the teammates you summoned? I don't think they have their original names in the group, so I'm sorry to ask more."

Ji Xinghuo was about to answer when several people came in from outside.

 Teammates are arriving one after another.

Everyone is fully armed, except Yuan Chongzhen, who is still the same as before, tall and thin, wearing only a sturdy battle suit.

  He is a half-orc who relies on transforming into monsters to fight instead of relying on weapons and equipment.

 “Lao Yuan.” Ji Xinghuo stepped forward and hugged Yuan Chongzhen, patting him **** the back.

 It’s always a pleasure to meet old friends.

Yuan Chongzhen looked at Ji Xinghuo with an excited expression and said loudly: "You have had a wonderful time these two months. I have been checking my phone since the morning to read your news. Only now do I know that I am on the star. The world is missing out on so many things.”

 “Haha, then you really missed a lot.” The thorn on the side patted his shoulder.

Ji Xinghuo was about to speak when Chi Zhonglin rushed in front of him. He stared at the spear in Ji Xinghuo's hand and shouted impatiently: "Wrath of Heaven Blue Blood Spear!"

 Everyone’s attention was attracted.

 It is rare for a super three-star weapon worth hundreds of millions to be listed on the weapon list.

 “Take it.”

Ji Xinghuo threw the spear over. After Chi Zhonglin caught it, he held it in his hand and felt it, and immediately fell in love with it.

 “Are you all here?” a voice came.

Zoligetu rode a black giant bear through the gate, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him. Some people were surprised and said: "Ferocious fighting bear!"

This black bear is nearly two meters long with all four legs on the ground. It is about four meters long. It is covered in special metal armor. The claws on its limbs are more than 20 centimeters long. It weighs at least two tons. It is heavy but flexible. , a fierce and violent aura rushed towards his face.

 Zoligetu jumped off the bear's back with a dull thud.

He is wearing a set of silver-gray armor today. It is simple in shape but extremely thick. It wraps himself up like an iron can. There is also a huge round shield on the back and a morning star mace. When he walks around, the armor pieces collide and emit metal. sound.

This look is the center of attention wherever he goes, and he also rides a battle mount.

 Everyone looked at him.

 “This look of yours is too exaggerated!” Chi Zhonglin circled around Zhuo Li Tu Ge and marveled.

 The predecessor of the Battle Priest was the White Knight.

When adventuring in the star realm, most white knights will wear armor to protect themselves, but those wearing heavy armor like Zhuoligetu are relatively rare.

"Haha, I'm more afraid of death, and I don't lack physical strength, so I wear thicker clothes." Zhuoligetu replied holding his helmet, and pointed at the ferocious war bear next to him, "This is my war pet." Bart', has been with me for several years."

"Everyone is here, let's set off." Ji Xinghuo announced, "Follow me."

There are many people around, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time.

Everyone followed Ji Xinghuo into an indoor boarding hall and saw an aerial fighter plane parked in the middle. They all looked surprised.

Ji Xinghuo said: "I chartered this. It will take us to East Africa."

 “Wow, this is so cool!” Chi Zhonglin said loudly.

Jing Ji shook his head, "I thought I could save a lot of money by going through the Star Gate." Renting an aerial fighter plane for a flight costs at least 500,000 Asian dollars.

Ji Xinghuo smiled and said, "It's just a small amount of money. I'm willing to spend it for convenience and comfort."

 His original plan was to take the Star Gate.

However, the exit of the star gate is easy to be watched secretly, and his group is conspicuous. As soon as they come out of the star gate, their whereabouts will be noticed by those who are interested.

 “Get on the plane.”

 Everyone entered the cabin, and the two war pets followed them.

The engine of the aerial fighter jet started, and the gate above the head slid open. The fighter jet took off amidst the roar, and quickly rushed into the sky. The speed became faster and faster, and soon exceeded the speed of sound. It flew out of Chang'an in the high altitude, all the way to the southwest. Direction galloping.

 The distance from Chang'an to "Kakamega", the capital of the East African Kingdom, is more than 8,500 kilometers. The cruising speed of aerospace fighter planes in the atmosphere is Mach 3, and it takes more than two hours to arrive.

 Fighter aircraft are unmanned and navigate automatically.

 Six people were sitting on both sides of the cabin. Ji Xinghuo stood up and said, "This is the first time for some of you to meet. Let me reintroduce them all."

 “This is Yuan Chongzhen.”

“Let’s just call him Lao Yuan. He is an old friend of Jingji and I. He is currently a bounty hunter. His professional template is half-orc. He is ranked 2743 on the ladder and is ready to enter the legend.”

Yuan Chongzhen stood up and said hello to everyone.

Ji Xinghuo introduced each of his teammates, and it was Lu Yunhai's turn at the end. He smiled and said, "He is Lu Yunhai, my college classmate and my best friend. Today is my first time to participate in hunting, and I am still a novice." , please be tolerant, everyone.”

Lu Yunhai quickly stood up and greeted, "Please take care of me." He has worked in the archery hall for several years. He is no longer a college student who has just entered the society. He is more experienced in dealing with people and things, but he is still nervous.

 Everyone here is a master on the ladder.

Even if Chi Zhonglin is not ranked, he still has strong strength at the forefront of the ladder.

Anyone is a master that he can only hope to reach. He usually has no chance to come into contact with them, but he has become their teammate.

 Everyone had a kind attitude toward Lu Yunhai.

 No one dares to look down upon it.

Even if someone really thinks so, they won't show it in front of Ji Xinghuo.

“I am the weakest, so I will be responsible for the logistics for this hunt, taking care of everyone’s mounts, and doing all the chores such as setting up camp and keeping watch.” Lu Yunhai said suddenly.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while, "Okay."

 In hunting teams and adventure groups in the astral realm, these chores are originally the responsibility of the weakest members.

 Since it was Lu Yunhai who proposed it, he would not stop him.

 “Then it’ll be **** you.”

 “If it’s too busy, we’ll help you.”

Seeing that he was so self-conscious, the attitude of his teammates became more friendly. During the rest of the voyage, everyone chatted in a relaxed manner, reducing the sense of strangeness and getting closer.

 Two and a half hours later.

The air and space fighter plane successfully entered the airspace of the East African Kingdom, passed the air defense identification, and landed at a landing pad in the city of "Kampala".

 This is the destination set by Ji Xinghuo.

The capital of the East African Kingdom is "Kakamega", which is also where the Star Gate is located. It has the largest and densest population, but he doesn't want to attract others' attention. The "Black King", the ruler of the East African Kingdom, is in Kakamega, and he must try to avoid the sight of a heavenly king.

 Generally speaking, for the sake of security and strategic buffering, major global powers will not set their capitals at the Stargate location.

For example, Chang'an, the capital of the Asia-Pacific Community, is more than 800 kilometers away from the Chaka Star Gate.

St. Louis, the capital of the American Federation, has the nearest stargate in Cincinnati, which is also 500 kilometers away.

However, this rule is not valid in Africa.

The three star gates in Africa, Kakamega, Abuja and Bloemfontein, are the capitals of three countries respectively. They just want to firmly control the star gates and strangle the entry and exit of the star realm in order to obtain resources and Collect tolls and stabilize the government.

Kampala is located more than 200 kilometers west of Kakamega and was once the capital of Uganda.

Although its status has declined now.

 But the population density and number are no less than those of Kakamega, and they are closer to Masindi where the monster last appeared.

Ji Xinghuo and six others got off the cabin, and the fighter plane immediately took off and returned.

 Get out of the landing pad.

Everyone immediately felt as if they had entered a slum, with sewage flowing across the streets, the buildings on both sides dilapidated, the sky dark, and the air filled with dust. Looking around, the city has no end in sight. There are several buildings over 100 stories in the distance, standing out like chickens.

Countless low-rise buildings are continuous, and the streets are crowded with people, all of whom are dark-skinned.

 Walking on the street, you can see children playing everywhere.

Most of the adults were doing nothing. When they saw Ji Xinghuo and the six people, some people immediately wanted to surround them. Zhuoli Tuge's war bear let out a low roar to scare them away.

 Occasionally, soldiers in uniforms and armed with guns roared past in open cars.

 Whenever a military vehicle passes by, people stay away from it.

 Chi Zhonglin asked: “Where are we going now?”

 “Just follow me.”

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the navigation on his phone.

After a while, the team arrived at a very large compound. It looked like a factory from the outside. It was surrounded by high walls. There were sentries and power grids on the walls, and machine guns were set up. The locals did not dare to get too close. The sign on the gate says "Swahili".

 After translating it with a translator, I found out that this is a horse training farm.

 A man with dark skin and no apparent age came out to greet him, wearing a crisp suit. He was followed by two high-level alien bodyguards holding firearms, also wearing suits.

"Welcome, distinguished guests! I am Ibaraga, the boss here. What do you need?" He spoke in Asian Communist language, which could be understood without a translator. His face was full of smiles, and he showed a hint of respect and flattery. Expression, cautious.

With his eyesight, he could see that this group of people came from the Asia-Pacific Community, and they were all masters who could not be offended.

“What’s the best mount for you in the wild?” Ji Xinghuo asked.

 “Of course it’s a Velociraptor!”

Ibaraga rubbed his hands enthusiastically and said loudly: "Whether it is on the plateau of East Africa, the tropical rain forests of Central Africa, rugged peaks, plains, or forests, my velociraptor can run at high speed, with sufficient endurance and quick steps. They are flexible and have a certain fighting capacity. They only need two meals of fresh meat every day, and there is no shortage of meat in the wild.”

Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Take me to see it."

 The group came to the training tent and saw dozens of velociraptors.

They are about two meters tall at the shoulders, stand on two legs, have a pair of short sharp front claws, have different skin colors, and have different colored feathers. There are bright feather crests on the top of their heads, and their eyes are huge, and their erect pupils reveal a The fierce, thick and long tail swings from side to side from time to time.

This kind of velociraptor is not native to the earth, but comes from the star realm.

 After being domesticated, it became a combat mount.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t buy it right away.

 He asked Ibaraga to introduce several other mounts, including chocobos, barren oxen, wildebeests, swift wind horses, iron-hoofed antelopes, etc.

These mounts have their own strengths, but overall, Velociraptor is the most suitable for the African wilds.

 “Give me six red-feathered raptors.”

Velociraptor mounts are also divided into grades. According to their crests, blue is the lowest, green is medium, and red is the best. It is the largest, can carry the largest weight, has the strongest endurance, and has the most docile and obedient personality among all grades. .

Of course, the price is also the most expensive, an Red Feather Velociraptor costs 800,000 Asian dollars.

Ji Xinghuo bought six.

Zoligetu already has his own mount. He bought an extra velociraptor to carry the entire team's tents, food and other sundries.

 Ibaraga was overjoyed, "A total of 4.8 million Asian dollars, thank you very much!"

 “Is this enough?”

Ji Xinghuo handed over a gold dragon coin with a face value of ten thousand.

 The market price of the Golden Dragon Coin is 4.5 million Asian dollars, but in Africa, it can be sold for a higher price, even 5 million Asian dollars on the black market.

“That’s enough, that’s enough.” Ibaraga identified it as a real dragon coin, quickly put it away, and had six red-feathered raptors brought over.

Each raptor has a saddle on its back and strong bags on both sides, which can hold a lot of luggage.

Teammates rode up one after another.

Ji Xinghuo was not in a hurry and asked: "Ibaraga, do you have any information about the monster in Masindi?"
