Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Page 89

The horde of devouring beasts rushed forward. The first one, a salamander, had short, thick, and powerful limbs, but its speed was unexpectedly fast. Its huge mouth, which occupied almost half of its head, was tightly closed as it charged straight at Shan Da.

"Hold on!"

Bai Yuekui's cold voice rang out, but he did not order a retreat, demonstrating his absolute trust in Shandong University's defenses.

With complete concentration, Shan Da thrust the circular shield forward with a sudden movement.

"boom!"

The salamander slammed solidly into the shield. The enormous impact caused Shan Da's body to sway slightly, but his feet remained firmly planted on the ground.

The shield's surface shimmered with light, and the attached bio-resonance device activated instantly, generating a high-frequency fluctuation inaudible to ordinary people, which was interfering with the core of the salamander.

The salamander was momentarily stunned by the sudden disturbance and let out a confused and angry gurgle.

It instinctively sensed that the lump of iron in front of it and the person behind it were extremely troublesome.

"Great opportunity, it's dizzy!" Xia Dou shouted from behind.

Even when dizzy, the salamander has extremely high defense, making it difficult for conventional attacks to kill it.

It quickly recovered, becoming even more agitated, and began frantically ramming the shield, attempting to break through the defense with brute force.

Shan Da calmly withstood the attacks one after another, his shield remaining perfectly still. Even as more Devouring Beasts charged up from behind, Shan Da did not retreat.

He noticed that the folds of the salamander's neck skin began to writhe unnaturally, a sign that it was about to unleash its deadly barbed mouthparts.

"It's now!"

Shan Da stared intently at the Devouring Beast. He took a deep breath, his muscles bulging again, and he kicked his right foot back, activating his ability once more.

He struck the back of the round shield with the head of a metal hammer, rhythmically.

"Boom!"

This was not a simple strike. The special structure on the back of the shield is a form of bio-resonance device or energy activation point. The moment it was struck, a second resonant shock wave of a different frequency was generated, which spread forward in a fan shape without affecting the teammates behind.

This shockwave once again disrupted the core perception of the surrounding salamanders, interrupting their newly formed attack and plunging them into deeper chaos and paralysis.

This is Shan Da's ability: by combining the special equipment he wears with the regulation of condensed energy within his body, he can extract spiritual essence from his body and release it.

This energy has a strong attraction to Devouring Beasts. By striking the shield with a hammer and charging up the energy, a kinetic shockwave can be generated, which can effectively repel medium-sized Devouring Beasts and cause a dizzying effect.

"Watch out, the big guy is coming!" Xu Tong shouted a warning.

The mutated behemoth roared, its red light reaching its peak. A thick, destructive red beam shot out, striking the center of the group.

"Leave it to us!"

Po Kong and Kollova leaped out at the same time.

Kolova waved her hands, and the moisture in the air rapidly condensed, transforming into a thick, constantly flowing and rotating water shield in front of her.

Wild blue arcs of electricity crackled around Po Kong as he roared, unleashing all his lightning power into the water shield. The combination of the two created an even stronger defense.

"laugh!!"

The massive red energy cannon slammed into the water shield, which was covered in high-voltage lightning, instantly producing a deafening roar and a piercing sound of energy annihilation.

The water shield shattered violently, sending sparks flying.

In the end, they managed to deflect the fatal blow to the side, blasting a huge, charred crater into the adjacent mountain wall.

Just then, a figure appeared in the blink of an eye above the giant beast's head as if by teleportation. It was Chen Yuan, and the wing-fired pulse cannon on his back had been deployed at some point.

Chapter 123 The Power of No Door

"All fear... stems from insufficient firepower!"

Boo hoo hoo hoo——

Dozens of small pulse energy projectiles rained down like a swarm of bees, instantly bombarding the vulnerable luminous tumor on the back and the vocal sac in the neck of the mutated Earth Howl.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, the tumor ruptured, the vocal sac was blasted into countless holes, and blue energy liquid and flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

The behemoth let out a painful howl, its massive body staggering backward.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yuekui immediately took action.

Her figure had appeared before the giant beast without her noticing, her long sword already drawn, its blade brimming with a chilling, highly compressed life essence energy that emitted a cold, blue-white light.

Boss Bai's body transformed into a blur, passing by the giant beast at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye.

Sheath the knife.

The mutated creature's roar abruptly froze, and an extremely thin blue line emerged from the center of its forehead, rapidly spreading downwards.

The next second, its body was neatly split in two along the blue line, and it crashed to the ground. The core of the spiritual seed inside its body had already dimmed and shattered.

[Slay the mutated Earth Roar, gaining 40000 survival points.] A system notification popped up in front of Chen Yuan's eyes.

The battle has temporarily come to an end, and the canyon is filled with the smell of gunpowder and the strange odor of the decomposing corpses of the Devouring Beasts.

Chen Yuan glanced at the ever-accumulating points in the corner of his vision, then looked at Sui Xing and the others who, though slightly out of breath, were in high spirits, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Bai Yuekui wiped the hilt of his sword, gazing at Chen Yuan's retreating figure, a hint of indescribable light flashing in his cool eyes.

This man, and his system, might truly be able to break the deadlock of despair that has plagued this world for decades.

The hunt has only just begun.

The brief victory in Wailing Canyon seemed to be just a prelude.

As Chen Yuan and his group ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding environment began to deteriorate rapidly.

The earth took on a sickly purplish-brown hue, and the concentration of serotonin in the air was frighteningly high, almost solidifying into a thin fog that interfered with the minds of ordinary people.

The ground is no longer solid, and occasionally one can see the living black tide wriggling in the cracks, some of which can even actively attack people.

However, anyone who dared to show their face was dealt with by the members using electromagnetic laser guns.

"Attention everyone, we have entered the core area of ​​an ecologically densely populated zone."

Bai Yuekui's expression was slightly solemn. She did not activate the Returning to Origin state, but let her own abundant life essence, like a raging fire in the night, attract "moths" from all directions.

Before long, a thin mist suddenly appeared ahead, a red mist, no, it was just the blood mist emitted by scarlet pigment.

"coming!"

Standing on the high ground, Shattered Star's sharp gaze pierced through the blood mist, and his voice suddenly rose, "There are many of them, more than three hundred, a mixed group of snake-dogs and earth-roaring beasts, and many large individuals leading them!!"

No sooner had her warning been uttered than a dark, surging tide of beasts appeared on the horizon, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing in with an aura of utter destruction.

Dust billowed, roars shook the heavens, and countless red pupils suddenly lit up in the blood mist, greedily locking onto the source of this "delicious" group.

Deeper into the dense mana ecosystem, the scenery is completely different from the outside world. The sky is covered by thick, scarlet spore clouds, casting an unsettling dark red hue. Fighting in this environment will inevitably be affected.

The dark, surging tide of beasts had arrived like a flood bursting its banks. The earth trembled under the trampling of countless claws and hooves, and the scarlet pupils formed a suffocating band of light in the thick fog.

Five figures rushed out from the team, taking the lead in requesting to fight.

Kolova unleashed her power; her blue eyes narrowed slightly, and her arms moved gracefully.

The dense moisture in the surrounding air, and even the sewage seeping from the ground, was rapidly drawn out and condensed in front of her into two roaring, rolling water snakes.

Instead of a direct attack, it moved with lifelike agility, quickly charging into the forefront of the beast horde. Its collisions instantly disrupted the dense charging formation of the Devouring Beasts, slowing down the speed of several snake-dogs and earth-roaring beasts.

More Devouring Beasts charged forward one after another, and Kolova could only try her best to dodge them.

Name: Kolova (female).

Awakened ability: Liquefaction.

Its body can liquefy, allowing it to lurk in water or blend into a liquid environment for movement, making it suitable for reconnaissance or launching surprise attacks.

The use of liquefaction capabilities does not come without a price.

In her liquefied state, using Kolova's abilities would bring her certain burdens and risks.

She tends to use the stealth and surprise of her abilities to attack, making her unsuitable for direct combat.

It is suitable for blending into water, lying in wait for the best opportunity to strike.

The downside is that when she liquefies, her defense decreases, making her more vulnerable to attacks.

At that moment, Po Kong shouted, his coordination with Kolova was exquisite.

Just as the water snakes were wreaking havoc and delaying a large number of Devouring Beasts, his entire body erupted with dazzling yellow lightning. The lightning bolt in his right hand seemed to be holding a small sun. He suddenly slammed his fists together.

"Conductivity!"

Sizzle... Boom!

The violent lightning spread wildly along the water flow created by his girlfriend, Kolova, instantly turning the area into a terrifying lightning hell.

Blinding lightning crackled wildly, and the Devouring Beasts, entangled and drenched by the water dragon, let out shrill screams, their bodies convulsing violently, billowing blue smoke, and low-level snake dogs instantly charred and collapsed in droves.

"Killed 5 snake dogs, killed 3 earth roars, killed..."

Name: Po Kong (Male).

Ability Awakening: Thunderstorm Domination.

The core of the Breaking Through the Void ability is to generate, guide, and manipulate high-intensity yellow lightning.

This kind of lightning is not a natural phenomenon, but a special form of energy formed by the transformation of its life essence and amplification by mechanical devices.

Po Kong can use the mechanical device on his right hand to convert the bioelectric energy in his body into destructive yellow lightning.

Lightning can deliver long-range high-voltage electric shocks, such as lightning bolts, or short-range arc bursts, causing paralysis or scorching damage to Devouring Beasts.

"The passage is open!"

Almost simultaneously, Wumen's figure suddenly became blurry.

The phase stabilizer on his wrist emitted a subtle, rapid hum, subtly modulating the vibrational frequency of the atoms around him.

The next moment, he appeared like a phantom, passing directly through the massive body of a large snake-dog in front of him and appearing inside the herd of beasts.

The snake-dog was bewildered and completely unable to understand why its target had suddenly disappeared and then passed through its body.

The moment he appeared, Wumen raised two special metal daggers and severed the tendons of another earth howl beside him, causing it to howl and fall to the ground, once again hindering the advance of the subsequent beast horde.
