In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#398 - ambush

Drip, drip.

The beeping of the alert made Ling Tong's breathing quite rhythmic.

She sat in the spacious cockpit, which resembled the bridge of a warship, with four high-level auxiliary mechanical bodies in the four corners, processing massive and constantly updating data.

She was already preparing for battle.

Thanks to dual cultivation with Daoist Wang, who enhanced her physique, Ling Tong's physical strength now surpassed that of an ordinary second-generation-and-a-half human-machine armor.

With the lowest level of modification, she possessed the highest load-bearing capacity, along with rich practical experience and excellent mecha control skills.

Ling Tong was now the most perfect operator for super-large mechas.

And the one she was piloting was the third, and newest, super-large mecha in the human camp.

Due to time constraints, the weapon systems of this super-large mecha were not fully debugged, and its overall combat power was slightly inferior to the one piloted by Fu Jian at the moment.

Originally, Fu Jian had not planned to let Ling Tong go to the battlefield so early.

But the situation was indeed too critical.

In fact, the left arm of this super-large mecha had not yet completed debugging, and there was a 20-30% probability of it malfunctioning during the attack.

Ling Tong and the massive maintenance team of this super-large mecha were under immense pressure.

Ling Tong worried that she would not be able to exert the mecha's due combat power;

The maintenance team was also afraid that their slow progress would lead to the collapse of a battlefield.

"Sigh…"

Ling Tong gently exhaled.

A silver-white advanced mechanical body next to her turned its head and said jokingly in a synthesized electronic voice:

"Does the brave and skilled Colonel also feel uneasy due to the pressure of war?"

"Of course," Ling Tong smiled, "My professional abilities only allow me to remain rational when facing the enemy; the pressure before the war cannot be resolved."

"Then you are fortunate."

The advanced mechanical body quipped:

"Now you can activate your professional abilities, because a full-scale war has begun.

"The ferocious Blade Beasts have launched a full-scale offensive."

Ling Tong frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"

"The intelligence we can obtain is very general, and our permissions are not sufficient. The battlefield has been divided into more than a dozen local areas, and six Pillar Blade Beasts are simultaneously approaching six major defense lines, actively drawing our firepower."

The high-level mechanical body explained:

"This is a kind of overt scheme.

"Pillar Blade Beasts are advancing on the surface, and a large number of Blade Beasts are advancing through underground tunnels.

"Our ground-penetrating weapons are always limited, and the Pillar Blade Beasts are right there. Do we bomb them? If we do, it will consume valuable firepower.

"The space fortresses are also under attack, with millions of flying Blade Beasts attacking them…"

"Please note that the number of millions is not an exaggeration.

"The space fortresses have begun to release huge metal rods with rear thrusters and heat shields, but the swarms of flying Blade Beasts are constantly impacting these metal rods. The Blade Beasts are very clever. By interfering before the metal rods gain speed, they can prevent them from accurately hitting the Pillar Blade Beasts.

"Moreover, their evolution speed is very exaggerated. According to the current intelligence we have obtained, the new mutant Tyrant Dragons have even acquired the means to conduct space electromagnetic pulses."

Ling Tong smiled wryly, "Now I'm under even more pressure."

"Perhaps you could persuade the commander-in-chief to rely more on us mechanical bodies."

"Do you have weapons that exceed the power of nuclear bombs?" Ling Tong asked.

"Of course not. We are only a branch of human civilization, and our way of thinking also imitates human thinking."

"Then how do you defeat the Blade Beasts?" Ling Tong asked with interest.

She could only chat idly here since she hadn't received an attack order.

The high-level mechanical body next to her said:

"First, we must break through materials science. The foundation of mechanical civilization is built on materials science. As long as materials are broken through, we can build war monsters of a kilometer or even larger."

The high-level mechanical body next to it added:

"We can also develop extremely small robots to specifically drill into the gaps in the exoskeletons of the Blade Beasts to destroy the tissues inside their bodies. It's just a pity that we still know nothing about how the Blade Beasts achieve swarm intelligence."

"We can develop a virus. The Blade Beasts themselves are also living organisms, and living organisms must have microbial communities. As long as we study these microbial communities, we can gain something."

"Forget it, the microbial communities have already been studied and are incredibly scarce."

Ling Tong found it quite interesting and didn't interrupt these guys who were talking to themselves.

Suddenly.

"Are the mechanical bodies on your side set up to be talkative?"

Wang Jixuan's voice came, and Ling Tong's expression twitched slightly.

But after realizing that Wang Jixuan was speaking telepathically, her expression instantly returned to normal, and she nodded silently.

Seeming to very much approve of the discussion of these mechanical bodies next to her.

Daoist Wang chuckled telepathically, "Don't worry about those guys. I'm holding their leader now. Just speak directly."

Ling Tong said, "Where are you?"

"Nearby, a bit of distance from you."

Wang Jixuan said slowly:

"Don't reveal my whereabouts to Lao Fu. I'm afraid he'll dispatch forces based on my location.

"I'll take action later to kill a Pillar Blade Beast, and then control this Pillar Blade Beast to crash into another one nearby. Pay attention.

"However, I'm not a spiritual cultivator. Although I have a core circuit, I'm not sure if it can be used."

"Don't be too reckless…"

"Don't worry, I naturally won't mess around if I don't have enough strength."

Daoist Wang said with a chuckle:

"The current me is different from when I first went to Cloud Top City.

"I'm informing you in advance so that you can watch and cooperate. If I succeed smoothly, then report to Fu Jian. Don't use nuclear bombs to bomb the Pillar Blade Beast I'm controlling."

"Understood."

Ling Tong took a deep breath:

"Looking at it this way, I have to work harder so that I don't fall too far behind you."

Wang Jixuan didn't dampen her enthusiasm, he just said, "Take care of yourself, don't distract me."

"Okay."

Ling Tong agreed, her voice indescribably gentle.

The four high-level mechanical bodies scattered in various places looked at each other and muttered in a chat channel that only the four of them could see.

[Damn, this commander looks like she's under too much pressure and is starting to talk nonsense to the air.]

[We'll have to spend more computing power later.]

[Alas, following a mentally unstable commander, it seems we few won't be able to reach the peak position like Big Sister Head.]

[Don't think wildly. Have you seen Big Sister Head's main body? Maybe Big Sister Head doesn't exist and is just a program designed by humans to bind us.]

[You're finished, you dare to question the authenticity of Big Sister Head.]

[Reported.]

[Traitor!]

[I was just saying!]

The chat channel suddenly became lively for a while.

Ling Tong tilted her head, looking at the mechanical bodies next to her who were busy with their heads down, and continued to close her eyes to rest, waiting for the attack order that would arrive here in half an hour.

The large screens on all four sides were simultaneously lit up, revealing a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, as well as the distant fire positions that had already begun to fire continuously.

Wang Jixuan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

And the large screens had already begun to simultaneously display battle reports from various places.

The newest novels are first published on Liи9NuShuba.com!

Ling Tong took a few glances, and her expression became extremely serious, and her gaze became icy cold.

No wonder these guys were worried that she was under too much pressure;

The Blade Beast's offensive was even more rapid than the two most recent large-scale battles.

When the Blade Beasts began to disregard the death toll of high-level Blade Beasts, forcibly tearing open the human firepower defense line, it naturally meant that they were going to fight desperately.

And now, the Blade Beasts were using general-level Blade Beasts as vanguards, with batches of general-level and sub-king-level Blade Beasts constantly launching attacks from underground, and layers of minefields were rapidly becoming ineffective.

The Blade Beasts were not just fighting desperately.

…

Wang Jixuan had escape techniques, so avoiding the battlefield was naturally easy.

The Pillar Blade Beast he had locked onto was also one of the 'Sleeping Ten Beasts' that had just awakened.

Two of its brothers were already lying side by side on the border of the D2 integrated war zone, and Daoist Wang didn't mind sending another one over.

By the way, if he later broke up with the ancient remnant spirits of Cloud Top City, then he would use these two or three Pillar Blade Beasts as materials and spend some time refining them, which could relatively quickly improve his cultivation.

It's just that;

The higher the realm, the slower the cultivation improvement;

No matter how much Wang Jixuan prepared now, it would take decades to break through from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage.

Advancing from the Heaven and Earth Bridge realm to the Nascent Soul realm was mostly thanks to that strange Stone of the Past;

Later being able to advance from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm was still mostly thanks to his Mahayana stage remnant soul releasing spiritual power, as well as the spiritual energy supply of the entire Cloud Top City.

However, at this stage, he could already display seventy to eighty percent of his various methods, which meant that the power of his spells would be affected, and his combat endurance would be limited. He would need to rest after using some powerful spells.

Dealing with a Pillar Blade Beast wouldn't be too difficult.

First, get close and release the aberrant soul to directly seize its body, cross the Sea of ​​Grievances, and break into the Blissful Heavenly Curtain, and everything would fall into place.

With the great pressure on each front line, Wang Jixuan didn't want to waste time.

That Pillar Blade Beast quickly appeared in Wang Jixuan's line of sight.

It had a snake-like structure, its whole body wrapped in thick armor, and huge gravity circuits vertically wrapped around its body.

This thing was a war monster—one of the original purposes for which Blade Beasts were designed was as war machines.

It had a large number of spikes on its back, like a huge mace, and each spike contained terrifying spiritual power, which should be able to release ranged skills.

This Pillar Blade Beast has hidden spikes on its back. If you look closely at its abdomen, you can see countless blade-like limbs. The diameter from its neck to its head gradually decreases. From the front, it has a terrifying mouth, but the mouth is closed, and the front looks like a pig's nose.

Wang Jixuan carefully sensed that the number of resentful souls inside this thing was slightly less than the two he had dealt with earlier.

‘The Blade Beasts couldn't have modified the structure of the Sea of Resentful Souls and the Blissful Sky Curtain in such a short time, right?’

Daoist Wang raised his eyebrows.

Although his strength is stronger now, he did not act rashly. He quietly bypassed the large group of Blade Beasts marching underground, bypassed the Evangelists scattered in every corner of the Blade Beast群, and arrived at the unavoidable path in front of this Pillar Blade Beast.

Meteorites kept falling from the sky;

Mushroom clouds rose from time to time, but they could only temporarily delay the movement of this Pillar Blade Beast. Moreover, if the timing and location of the mushroom cloud explosion were slightly off, this Pillar Blade Beast would not stop to recover from its injuries. The terrifying tide of spiritual energy surging within its body would heal the injuries on its own.

Wang Jixuan waited patiently for about two or three hours.

A large group of elite Blade Beasts appeared directly below the Pillar Blade Beast. When they passed, they directly destroyed the stratum, and the gravity circuit would interfere with the gravity in this area, making it easier for those large Blade Beasts to pass quickly underground.

The mouth of the Pillar Blade Beast passed first;

Then came the long neck, torso...

Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes, his figure burst out, with a faint phantom, and crashed into the Pillar Blade Beast from directly below.

Its size was too huge, so huge that it was as magnificent as a mountain, so that when Wang Jixuan, an enemy of normal human size, suddenly暴起, its perception and reaction were two beats slow.

Pa!

A giant piece of exoskeleton on the abdomen of the Pillar Blade Beast suddenly shattered like glass.

Wang Jixuan plunged into it, blooming mana to protect himself, and his figure stopped directly in the flesh of the giant beast, and the black dragon on his shoulder opened its eyes.

Wang Jixuan sneered;

The black dragon released a dragon roar, broke into this place in an invisible posture, flew to the Sea of Resentful Souls!

The black dragon's body circled and suddenly shrank to two meters long, found a 'water well' in the Sea of Resentful Souls, and probed into it.

A prosperous town with six or seven thousand people suddenly appeared in front of the black dragon.

For the soul body, the black dragon is actually equivalent to a real object.

Those 'God-Chosen People' just stared blankly as a monster they had never seen before appeared in the blue sky and roared down on their city.

Hundreds of guards in armor appeared in the city;

They rose into the air, just about to fight the black dragon, the black dragon opened its mouth, as if a dragon ball was shining, and beams of light shot out, melting those guards in an instant.

“Gari No!”

The black dragon spoke in human words, shouting loudly, and smashed directly into the palace complex in the center of the Blissful Sky Curtain.

There, a Gari No cloaked in a gray cloak appeared, but it was not flustered, but raised the scepter in its hand.

Is there a countermeasure?

The black dragon's momentum did not stop, but it held back three points of its strength, and its dragon claws slapped out an arc of light downwards.

A somewhat illusory figure suddenly flashed out from behind Gari No, and this figure raised a shield and resisted forward.

Bang!

A shock wave exploded in the center of the Blissful Sky Curtain.

The gray figure fell backwards, and Wang Jixuan's black dragon also suffered a huge force.

This seems to be the power that can directly attack the alien soul.

The opponent's strength is obviously below his own alien soul.

Daoist Wang was about to continue to attack.

But before his alien soul had time to move, a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart, and the main body hiding in the flesh of the Pillar Blade Beast suddenly opened its eyes.

In front, the flesh of the Blade Beast suddenly became translucent, and strands of icy crystals were rapidly spreading, as if to freeze him here.

Son of a Bitch!

There is an ambush.
