It was the Winged Beasts that attacked.
They completely ignored the two escort speedboats that were trying to turn and hastily return fire with their machine guns.
Several winged beasts simply adjusted the angle of their wing bones and swept past the side of the speedboat at high speed like sharp blades.
"Stab!"
"boom……"
The loud crack of metal being torn apart was accompanied by an explosion. The speedboat's armor was like paper in front of their sharp wing bones, instantly cut open with huge gashes. Seawater rushed in, and it quickly capsized and sank. The crew members on board panicked, and some fell directly into the sea.
"Kill these beasts!"
Li Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his skin instantly turned a dark steel gray. He roared and rushed out of the bridge, punching a winged beast that was swooping down to grab a crew member, sending it flying off course.
The fist collided with the Devouring Beast's sturdy armor, producing a dull metallic clang, but the damage was minimal.
The Devouring Beast let out an angry roar, circled once, and its vocal tract once again glowed with a ghostly blue light.
"Buzz!"
A highly focused sonic projectile struck Li Zheng directly.
"clang!"
Li Zheng was blasted backward and crashed heavily into the ship's cabin wall. Tiny cracks appeared on his hard, tempered skin, and his internal organs were violently shaken, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
While his defenses could withstand physical cuts, they were insufficient to completely neutralize such highly penetrating sonic attacks.
The other winged beast targeted the weapons on the ship, and with an invisible sonic breath, the anti-aircraft cannon barrel exploded, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
"Water Ghost" Chen Tao rushed up from the lower deck. His ability was to manipulate water, so he waved his hands, causing the seawater to form a waterspout that crashed into the sky like a monster.
Just as a thick column of water rose, another winged beast swooped down and easily sliced through the water tornado with its wing bones, while simultaneously letting out a wide-ranging shriek towards his location.
Chen Tao's body stiffened abruptly, the water surrounding him instantly dissipated, blood flowed from his seven orifices, his eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell straight down.
His abilities were useless against this indiscriminate sonic attack, because his abilities were not yet capable of making him completely immune to physical attacks.
The battle turned into a one-sided massacre.
The powerful Phantom Beasts, using absolute air superiority and eerie sonic attacks, wantonly toyed with the remaining survivors.
They would use sonic waves to stun the crew, then grab them with sharp claws and throw them from a great height to their deaths, or penetrate the deck to hunt them inside the cabin.
Li Zheng managed to hold out for a few more minutes thanks to his strong defense, and with all his might, he managed to smash the wing membrane of a Devouring Beast. However, he was soon surrounded and attacked by the other three Ghost Winged Beasts, who took turns using sonic shocks and sharp claws to cut him.
His hardened skin kept cracking, blood seeping from the fissures, his movements grew slower and slower, and his breath gradually weakened...
Chapter 137 Boss Bai Leads the Team
finally.
A winged beast seized the opportunity, its deadly wing bone piercing through the gap in his defenses like a spear, piercing his chest.
Li Zheng's body trembled, the light in his eyes quickly went out, and his hardened skin peeled away, revealing a face covered in blood and disbelief.
This mid-stage third-tier awakened individual could not understand, even in death, why he had been defeated so thoroughly and so quickly.
The other three third-tier awakened individuals, who were weaker in comparison, were also of little use and soon all perished.
Less than 10 minutes had passed.
On the sea, the Probe was riddled with holes and drifted silently, with flames and black smoke constantly escaping from the breaches. The ship was on the verge of sinking into the sea at any moment.
The two escort speedboats had already sunk.
The sporadic resistance from the survivors had long since vanished, leaving only the sound of waves crashing against the ship and the satisfied roars of the winged beasts carried on the wind after their feast.
The Coastal Alliance's Fourth Search Fleet, along with six Tier 3 Awakened, vanished from the world without a trace, without even having time to send out a distress signal.
Disaster had already been brewing quietly in the unknown corners of humanity, revealing its sharp fangs.
……
Dragon Bone Village.
Eighteen mechs of various shapes and sizes gathered at the village entrance and stood silently. The villagers of Dragon Bone Village watched from afar, praying in their hearts that they would return safely.
Chen Yuan looked at the super team in front of him, which he had built with two million survival points, and nodded in satisfaction.
In order to accumulate enough points, he has indeed been taking on small gorillas quite a lot lately.
Bai Yuekui turned to the crowd and said, "Although the mechs are powerful, they are by no means invincible. Those Devouring Beasts are also evolving. There are dangers everywhere outside. We must not be careless except in the village."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Chen Yuan and I discussed it and decided to split into two teams, taking turns to attack and stay behind. One team will be led by me, and the members are Sui Xing, Xu Tong, Gua Yan, Xia Dou, Shan Da, Qian Li, Jiu Ge, and Wu Men."
Those whose names were called immediately straightened their backs. Sui Xing expressionlessly inspected the electromagnetic cannon barrel of the Annihilation Ship, Xu Tong excitedly rubbed his hands together, Gu Yan simply nodded heavily, and Xia Dou happily made a cute expression.
"The other team..."
Bai Yuekui looked at Chen Yuan, "Led by Chen Yuan, the members are Wu Ting, Na En, Er Tong, Kolova, Po Kong, Tie Xiao, Amuer, and Wulan Aodeng..."
She paused slightly as she read this, glancing at Ulan Maiduo, who was both nervous and expectant, and her father, Ulan Aodeng, who had a complex expression beside her.
"And, Ulan Maiduo!"
These words immediately caused a slight commotion.
Originally, Bai Yuekui didn't want Wulan Maiduo to go out, but Chen Yuan strongly protected her, and her father also tacitly approved of the matter, so Boss Bai had no choice but to agree.
Ulan Maiduo's brother, watching his sister about to pilot her cool mecha out of Dragonbone Village to fight, was filled with envy, but he could only clench his fists and secretly resolve to train even harder.
Bai Yuekui said no more, but glanced at Chen Yuan indifferently. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: You protected this person, so you will be responsible if anything happens.
"Alright, in that case, I'll lead the first team today to the B-15 area in the northwest to clear out the snake-dog pack and any suspected mutated creatures that have appeared there. Chen Yuan's team will stay in the village and be responsible for patrolling and guarding the surrounding area. We'll rotate shifts the day after tomorrow." Bai Yuekui gave the final instructions.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded in unison, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Led by Bai Yuekui, the team took the lead in launching the Pure Candle. The holy white mecha was radiant with golden light, and the energy wings on its back slowly unfolded, flying directly out of the village.
The Shattered Star's Annihilation, like a silent sniper, followed silently.
Xu Tong's Gale-class mech created a gust of air as it nimbly circled around the sides.
The taciturn Mountain Ship and Xia Dou's Whisper Ship also quickly followed suit.
The Shandong University's Chongxiao, carrying massive weapons, exuded an oppressive aura.
The Thousand Miles Immovable Mountain followed behind, with Sake Song following silently. The Gateless Phantom passed directly through the village's rocks and arrived outside the village first.
Nine mechs formed a powerful team, led by Bai Yuekui, and sped out of Dragonbone Village toward the wilderness, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
……
In the northwest, in area B-15, the former city ruins have now been completely swallowed up by the dark red mana ecosystem.
Flesh-like organic matter covered the broken concrete, twisted tentacles swayed slowly in the air, and the air was filled with a sweet, putrid, fishy smell.
"Note that we are still three kilometers away from the target area."
Shattered Star's voice came from the public communication channel. Her Annihilation mech glided silently through the ruins like a ghost. The long electromagnetic sniper cannon was already activated, and the multi-spectral observation scope kept scanning ahead.
Bai Yuekui's Pure Candle seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised its hand, causing the procession to stop instantly. "No need to wait any longer, they already know we're here."
A rustling sound came from deep within the ruins, and at first only a few scattered gray-white shadows flickered among the broken walls.
But with a piercing, high-frequency hiss, hundreds of snake-dogs surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.
The Necromont crawled on all fours in a humanoid posture, its spine bulging high. Its grayish-white keratinous skin emitted scarlet pigment, and its yellow, eyelidless pupils locked onto the nine mechs. Its mouth split open to the base of its ears, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth.
"Same as always, standard formation!"
Bai Yuekui said calmly, "Thousand Miles Left Wing Shield, Mountain Big Right Wing Assault, Xu Tong Disrupt Their Directional Awareness, Shattered Star, Prioritize Eliminating Large Individuals..."
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.
The immovable mountain mech, with its heavy dark green and matte black body, took a sudden step forward. Its huge tracked feet crushed the concrete debris below, embedding themselves deeply into the earth, as if instantly fusing with the entire landmass.
"Leave the left wing to me!"
A thousand miles away, his voice came through the communication channel, steady and powerful.
Faced with the horde of snakes and dogs surging like a tide, the tower-shield-shaped arm armor on the left arm of the Fudoyama mech, with its ferocious design and thick edges, suddenly activated.
Countless complex energy circuits lit up on the surface of the shield, emitting a deep and powerful hum.
The next moment, a diamond-shaped energy shield, almost solidified, instantly unfolded.
The shield was incredibly large, its energy shimmering and dazzling. The shield surface resembled an indestructible wall of light that suddenly rose up, not only completely covering the left wing of the mecha itself, but also perfectly protecting the mechas of Xia Dou's Heart Whisper and Jiu Ge on the flanks.
The first wave of snake-dogs roared and charged forward, their claws and bone blades scratching and slashing against the energy shield.
The result was not a violent flash of energy or ripples from an impact, but a more despairing silence.
Most of the impact was absorbed and neutralized by the massive light shield and the thick physical armor behind it, as if it had vanished into thin air.
A few particularly violent impacts only caused bright energy ripples to appear on the shield surface, which then quickly subsided, demonstrating the terrifying effectiveness of the Wailing Wall composite armor system in deflecting and absorbing impact through physical and energy coordination.
Chapter 138 Ghostly Shattered Star
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Several unusually large snake-dogs launched a brute-force charge, crashing into the shield like cannonballs. As a result, their own bones shattered, and they were thrown backward by the recoil.
The Earth's ley line energy core provides a near-infinite amount of energy, ensuring that the shield's brightness shows no signs of diminishing. The stabilization system makes the Fudoman seem rooted to the earth, withstanding continuous impacts without the fuselage shifting backward even slightly.
Just then, a lurking Poisonous Beast let out a sharp screech, and a high-energy bio-pulse shot out from the glowing organ on its back, blasting straight at the center of the shield.
"Fuck!"
A blinding flash of energy erupted, and the pulse collided violently with the shield, producing a piercing tearing sound.
However, Senri only let out a muffled growl, and the heat dissipation grille on the back of the Fudomuzan suddenly opened, spewing out a brief stream of hot air.
The energy flowing on the shield surface accelerated instantly, becoming more solid, forcefully deflecting the energy attack that was powerful enough to tear through ordinary armor, guiding it to scatter to both sides and bombard the ruins on both sides, instantly creating a sky full of rubble and dust.
