Chapter 313: The Talent of the Lone Wolf_2
But in the end, as a special forces veteran, he gritted his teeth and channeled all his Spiritual Energy into the exoskeleton mecha, raising his Spiritual Energy Level once again. Then energy bullets were fired one after another from the shoulder cannons at nearly double the previous speed of condensation, turning the barrels red hot almost instantly.
Several wolf heads about a meter in size materialized behind the mecha, formed from energy and black mist with ferocious faces, then attacked the Mother Worm at blazing speed.
This was Lone Wolf's Talent: Wolf Spirit. It summoned wolf heads to assist in combat and was no weaker than an Angel Envoy, as well as his trump card.
Su Han did not command the Mother Worm to fight back but merely maintained the Insect Quality Crystal Shield, absorbing the attacks. It took a full ten minutes for the crystal shield to gradually begin to show signs of damage, emitting slight cracking noises.
This was not because the attack had reached the shield's defensive threshold but because the prolonged assault had depleted the energy of the Insect Quality Crystal Shield, gradually bringing it to the verge of breaking.
Yet, it was also around ten minutes later that the exoskeleton mecha, which had glowed with a pale purple light, began to dim, and the attacks ceased abruptly at that moment.
"Click"
The mecha made a noise as its metal shell opened, and Lone Wolf, pale-faced and sweating, stepped out.
"The mecha's energy source is depleted."
After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at the massive Mother Worm towering over forty meters tall.

After a full ten minutes, both shoulder cannons were smoking, and over three hundred energy bullets had been fired. That firepower was enough to destroy several city blocks, yet it had only barely penetrated the defense barrier—and that without continuous maintenance.
He had no idea how powerful Lord Su's Contractor could be, as he didn't believe that the strongest ability of an insect swarm's queen would be defense.
"You've worked hard."
Su Han smiled. To unleash such firepower in ten minutes was impressive. Though it seemed brief, it was because Lone Wolf had concentrated all his power on one spot. If it were a real battle, that amount of ammunition could last for one to two hours of combat.
Rustling sounds
The worker bugs quickly swarmed into the square, dragging away the bodies of the slain knife bugs and worker bugs right in front of everyone.
Soon, aside from a few bloodstains, nothing else remained on the square, as if the battle had never occurred.
"Let's talk about the intent to trade, but mainly with your Southwest Military Preparedness Force."
Lu Changshan was flabbergasted, but Su Han simply smiled and said, "The Linshui City alliance is fine with it, but trying to take all of the Tree Domain's offerings might be more than you can handle."
His words were direct, but it was the truth, and Lu Changshan understood. As long as they didn't leave Linshui City behind, everything was OK.
Lone Wolf's eyes flashed with joy, "Of course, that would be fine."
"In addition to the alliance against monsters, we need to add a clause about sharing High Order monster information, which must be provided as a priority. Of course, if the information is fairly accurate and valuable, I can offer substantial rewards."
Lone Wolf's eyes flickered slightly, thinking of the Black Sturgeon Beast, but he refrained from mentioning it, wanting to hear Su Han out first.
"Blood-winged Tiger, Vine Giant Rat, and Black Rock Tree Monster can all be traded in certain quantities, but you'll need to send your own Contractors over."
"Lord Su, what about the targeted mutation injection and other drugs?"
"That too, though it depends on what you have to offer."
Su Han smiled and continued, "Monster flesh, Spiritual Energy ore, Lamp Tree Crystals, drugs as well as Spiritual Energy equipment like the exoskeleton mechas. For the first batch of trades, I want ten Spiritual Energy exoskeleton mechas."
Lone Wolf looked troubled at this quantity, for he did not have the authority to make specific deals of this magnitude.
However, it seemed that Su Han had anticipated this situation: "I will give you a supplementary list of items available for trade and grant you three days to take it back to the Southwest Armed Forces. Return in three days with someone who can make decisions. With your Winged Demon Ghoul, there should be no major issue returning alone, right?"
Lone Wolf forced a smile and said, "Alright, I'll leave immediately."
"Old Zhu,"
Su Han called Zhu Xiong's name, and he stepped forward, answering, "What's up?"
"Go to headquarters and retrieve two Third Grade Superior enhancement drugs, one for Captain Zhao, and the other as a return gift."
"Got it, I'm on it."
Now that the intent to trade had been established, the details would wait until Lone Wolf's return.
Lone Wolf was a man of action and not one for pleasantries. After receiving the enhancement drug and completing the injection with the assistance of the researchers, his depleted Spiritual Energy quickly recovered. Furthermore, his strength, which had been at a bottleneck, broke through with the help of both battle and the enhancement drug.
His individual strength advanced to Third Grade Superior, giving him greater self-protective capability. After a brief rest, he returned to Wushan City.
He was acutely aware of one thing: the Tree Domain was truly powerful, and the effect of the Third Grade Superior drug was clear evidence of their formidable scientific research capabilities.
This trade was too important to fail, and he must convey every detail to the generals and staff officers to facilitate the cooperation.
...
Lone Wolf left alone, but Lu Changshan and the others stayed behind. He was an adaptable man.
While he couldn't negotiate large equipment deals, they could certainly discuss some of the monster flesh, Spiritual Energy ores, and Lamp Tree Crystals on their own.
"Lord Su, we've accumulated a lot of monster flesh, about a hundred thousand heads' worth. We had to incinerate a batch because it was too much to keep, or else we would have even more," Lu Changshan said.
Due to environmental mutations and the monsters' bodily structure and Spiritual Energy, their flesh was not prone to decay easily.
