The sudden shout shattered the tranquility of the outpost.
Almost simultaneously, a massive demon-level monster that had been dozing in the center of the stronghold was awakened.
It was a rhinoceros-like monster, over five meters tall, covered in a rock-like shell. It suddenly turned its head, its single eye flashing with a savage red light.
“We’ve been exposed.” Lin Mo’s eyes remained unchanged. “Then let’s switch to Plan B.”
Since stealth failed, the only option left is to force a breakthrough.
"Roar--!"
The rhinoceros monster let out a deafening roar, took heavy steps, and charged toward the location where "Little King" was hiding.
The ground trembled slightly under its trampling.
"Target: Demon-level monster. Preliminary analysis: Extremely high defense, devastating impact. Weaknesses scanned... Abdominal carapace junction, single eye."
Before Lin Mo's eyes, lines of bright red data rapidly appeared.
Faced with this devastating charge, Lin Mo did not choose to retreat.
He maneuvered "Little King" forward instead of retreating, and at the very moment he was about to be hit, the machine suddenly slid to the side, the thrusters briefly blasted, and he gracefully dodged the Rhino Monster's charge by a hair's breadth.
The rhinoceros-man crashed headfirst into the rock wall, creating a huge crater and sending rocks flying everywhere.
The moment it turned around, Lin Mo had already switched weapons.
"Weapon system switch. Right arm, compressed particle cannon, mode adjusted to 'rapid fire mode'!"
The armor on "Little King's" right arm deformed, revealing a cannon muzzle with blue arcs of electricity leaping within it.
"Da da da da da!"
Giving the rhino monster no time to react, a barrage of highly condensed blue bullets was fired in an instant, striking the relatively soft carapace on its abdomen with pinpoint accuracy.
The shockwave from the explosion forced the rhino monster to stagger backward, letting out a painful roar. However, its defenses were truly astonishing, and the rapid-fire mode failed to penetrate it.
"The defense is indeed very high... Well then, let's try this."
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he switched attack modes.
Switch to 'cutting mode'!
A continuous beam of high-energy particles shot out from the cannon, transforming into a large blade that precisely sliced through the forelimb joint of the rhinoceros monster as it attempted to charge again!
"Shoot-"
With a sickening sound and a burning smell, one of the rhinoceros monster's forelegs was severed! Its massive body lost its balance and crashed to the ground.
The surrounding monsters were so frightened by the terrifying sight that they retreated one after another, not daring to go forward.
"ended."
Lin Mo didn't give it any chance.
He calmly created distance, and the muzzle of the particle cannon on his right arm shone brightly, beginning to gather astonishing energy.
On the energy display in front of Lin Mo, the body's energy value was dropping rapidly at a visible rate, evaporating by forty percent in the blink of an eye.
"Power-Charging Penetration Mode!"
A beam of particle light, thicker than any previous attack, trailing a devastating tail, struck the fallen rhinoceros monster squarely in its massive single eye!
Subsequently, the rhinoceros monster's massive head, along with the rock wall within a radius of several meters behind it, was completely pierced by this shot.
That arrogant demon-level monster didn't even have time to utter a final, mournful cry before it completely lost its life.
[The resentment and astonishment of the Demon-level monster, Energy +1500!]
The entire hideout fell into a deathly silence, followed by an overwhelming fear that enveloped the remaining monsters.
They looked at the unharmed black robot as if they saw death descending upon them.
Lin Mo ignored the soldiers and steered "Little King" straight toward the cleared passage.
Wherever it went, the strange people made way for it in fear.
Chapter 121 Black Spirit
As they passed through the passage guarded by the rhinoceros monster, the environmental parameters reported by "Little King's" detection system were undergoing drastic changes.
The humidity, temperature, and a mysterious energy concentration in the air are all increasing exponentially.
The style of the passageway is also quite different from before.
Instead of the rough, carved marks, there is a more regular structure.
"It seems we're very close to the core area of the Monster Association."
Lin Mo became more vigilant.
He switched "Little King" back to "Ghost Mode," perfectly blending into the shadows.
After descending for an unknown period of time, the view ahead suddenly opened up again.
This time, what appeared before Lin Mo was no longer a stronghold where strange people gathered, but a huge empty space.
Its scale is far greater than any previous cave.
On the edge of this enormous void, many strange buildings have been constructed, and some odd people are bustling about inside, but the atmosphere is not as chaotic as the previous stronghold.
Instead, it carries a strange sense of order.
This is undoubtedly the true core area of the Monster Association.
Lin Mo kept "Little King" close to the shadow of a huge rock, not daring to act rashly.
The strange beings here have energy reactions far exceeding those of the previous "minions," and most of them are pale yellow, meaning they are at least Tiger-level, or even possibly Ghost-level beings.
Just then, "Little King's" scanning system displayed a screen full of red warnings.
[Warning: High density and wide range of identical bioenergy signals detected. Individual signal strength is low, but the total amount is large and distributed throughout the region.]
Lin Mo frowned slightly.
This description immediately reminded him of an extremely troublesome entity in the original work.
He slowed his pace, maneuvering "Little King" to stealthily move along the shadows of the ceiling, minimizing his presence.
After going several hundred meters further, a fork in the road appeared ahead.
Just as he was carefully observing and preparing to choose a path, a voice carrying a hint of arrogance and displeasure came from around the corner of one of the passages.
"This is incredibly boring. That bastard Big Eyes made me patrol this godforsaken place again."
"Patrol! What's the use of patrolling? Do you think there are any blind heroes who could have fought their way all the way here? It's such a waste of my precious time."
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately stopped "Little King" and pressed it tightly against the rock wall, even temporarily suppressing the most basic energy circulation.
A tiny, black-bodied figure with antennae on its head slowly emerged from around the corner.
As it walked, it stretched out its little feet and kicked a small pebble on the ground in a very human-like way, its face full of "unhappiness" and "annoyance".
Lin Mo's pupils contracted instantly.
Although the energy response of the little thing in front of him was not significant in "Little King's" scan, Lin Mo knew it better than anyone else.
This collection of little things is a genuine Dragon-level monster with a stock of over fifty trillion!
He is one of the top combatants in the entire Monster Association!
Once it detects a cell, even just a single cell, it can instantly transmit the information to the host.
At that time, he would not be facing just one, but an endless stream of Black Spirits, and the infiltration mission would be a complete failure.
Fortunately, Child Emperor's design was simply too outstanding.
In "Ghost Mode," "Little King" seems to blend completely into the environment.
The melanocyte that was taking a solitary walk was completely unaware that a cold machine was silently observing it from the shadows above its head.
Below, Black Essence seemed to have just come out for some fresh air, or perhaps to vent his frustrations.
It showed absolutely no awareness of its patrol duties.
Blackie kicked the pebble away, put his hands on his hips, and started complaining again.
"So what if you're a cadre? Who isn't? All you do all day is boss me around."
"That idiot named Gums is just a walking stomach; it can't do anything but eat."
"That guy called Ugly President, just looking at his face makes me want to vomit, seriously polluting my aesthetic sense."
"And that guy called the Wandering Emperor, he's always so mysterious, not letting anyone get close. I think he's just a pretentious fraudster."
Black Sperm's rant was full of disdain and contempt for the other executives, indicating that the Monster Association was indeed not very harmonious.
Black Sperm continued his rant, seemingly filled with contempt for all the association's executives except himself.
"The strangest one is that so-called 'Monster King' Orochi."
Upon hearing this name, Lin Mo became highly focused.
"That guy has been acting crazy lately, I don't know what's wrong with him."
Black Spirit crossed his arms, stopped, looked up at the wall not far away, and pursed his lips.
"I used to be quite interested in capturing a few heroes, but now I'm all talk and no longer care about what's happening on the ground."
"Every few days, he sneaks off to the deepest part of the place all by himself, without even bringing that control freak, Big Eyes. Who knows what he's up to?"
"Hmph, you'd better not cause any trouble and disturb my peace and quiet."
Black Sperm spat symbolically towards the depths of the earth, his tone full of sarcasm.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as they don't bother me. Anyway, I have over 50 trillion Black Sperm in reserve. Even if Orochi and that Great Eye of the Sea are finished, I am still me, and I am the strongest."
"Hmm, after the patrol is over, I'll go back and split a few tens of thousands more cells to play around with, increasing the stock is the key..."
Black Sperm seemed to have complained enough and was getting bored, so he turned and walked towards another passage, muttering to himself as he went:
"Forget it, I'll just find a place to sleep and wait until the final assault begins before letting those so-called heroes on the ground know who the Monster Association's true ace is."
Its figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the dark passage.
