Chapter 624 Mechanical Giant
On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, above 5,000 meters above sea level, the wind and snow are howling, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere permeates the sky and the earth.
This was once the most mysterious and purest land on the blue planet, but now it has become the battlefield for the first head-on confrontation between humans and alien civilizations.
The cross-border channel slowly opened above the plateau. The silver-blue energy fluctuations tore through the space barrier, and an inky black portal emerged.
Immediately afterwards, a number of mechanical giants as tall as ten meters stepped out.
They were made entirely of an unknown alloy, with faint blue light flickering at their joints. Every step they took caused the earth to tremble.
The core parts of these mechanical giants are inlaid with crystals, and some kind of energy ripples can be vaguely seen flowing through them.
It is an advanced artificial intelligence system that combines quantum computing and biological neural networks.
They are not simple fighting machines, but highly intelligent war weapons!
What is even more frightening is that behind the giant, countless swarms of nano-insects surged out like a black tide, densely covering the ground like a life web that devoured everything.
"Report!"
The frontline commander's urgent voice came from the communicator, "The enemy's combat power is about equal to that of the early Nascent Soul stage, but..."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier suddenly fell down, his body quickly covered by a swarm of nano-insects, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a pile of bones.
"They can repair themselves! They can also devour flesh and blood to evolve!"
Ye Zheng roared, his fists whistled, and his martial arts energy burst out!
He was like a burning volcano. When he swung his fists, the air exploded. Golden fist shadows swept across the battlefield, blasting the three mechanical giants into scrap metal on the spot!
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the broken debris actually began to move!
The metal fragments automatically reorganized, and the nano-insect swarm quickly filled the gap. Within just a few seconds, a new mechanical giant stood up again!
“Damn it!”
Ling Xiao roared angrily, and smashed down the Xuanhuang Tower in his hand. The repressive force swept in all directions, crushing a swarm of insects into powder!
But even so, some insects still broke through the blockade and rushed towards the nearest town!
At the critical moment, the sky suddenly changed color and red flames fell from the sky!
A giant one-legged bird with a huge body and burning flames all over its body came through the air.
It’s Bifang!
It spread its wings, blocking out the sky and the sun, and spewed out a blazing green flame from its mouth, instantly burning the nano-insect swarm within a radius of hundreds of meters to ashes!
"Bah!"
The Bifang let out a sharp cry, with a glittering light of arrogance in its eyes.
After being captured alive by Zhu Yan, it waited for nearly a year before Huo Qinghuang returned to the Huo family.
During this year, it lived in fear and anxiety under the tyranny of Zhu Yan, fearing that the unethical old monkey would roast it and eat it one day.
After finally waiting for Huo Qinghuang to return, it was like seeing a relative. Without even waiting for Huo Qinghuang to show his majesty, it bowed down to him.
From then on, the ferocious monster Bifang became a general under Huo Qinghuang, and was sent by her to protect Ling Xiao.
At this moment, it finally ushered in its first actual combat!
It flapped its wings and rained down fire. Wherever it passed, the enemies were reduced to ashes!
“Well done!”
Ling Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes excited, "This old monster was not raised in vain!"
Ye Zheng also smiled: "It seems that these monsters are still somewhat useful."
Upon hearing this, Bifang raised his head proudly, as if to say, "You humans are still too weak."
…
The atmosphere in the Dragon Kingdom’s highest command room was solemn.
Satellite images transmitted the battlefield situation in real time, and representatives from various countries watched with bated breath.
"Did you see that?"
Huo Qinghuang said to the representatives of various countries watching the battle, "This is the price of underestimating the enemy."
Everyone was shocked.
If the scene just now hadn't been broadcast live by satellite, they would have thought they were watching a science fiction movie.
"The enemy's technology is far beyond our understanding."
Long Weihua said in a deep voice, "We can no longer deal with it using traditional fighting methods."
Zhang Tianshi nodded: "Indeed. Their mechanical giants have the ability to repair themselves. Their core energy must be completely destroyed to be truly eliminated."
Wu Yunzi frowned and analyzed: "Moreover, those nanoworm swarms can not only absorb flesh and blood to evolve, but also quickly replicate themselves. If left unchecked, the consequences will be disastrous."
A scientist's eyes lit up: "It would be great if we could get their technology core!"
"Then use some special means."
Tushan Yuhua sneered and waved her hand. The nine fox tails rolled up a cold wind and a strange smell filled the air.
"My fox tribe is good at illusion and poison mist, which can interfere with their perception system."
"wonderful!"
Long Weihua's eyes lit up, "We can combine the fox tribe's illusions with humans' magic arrays to build a new defense system."
In the meeting room, all parties quickly reached a consensus:
Bureau 749 coordinates the overall situation and commands all combat units.
All the major sects also sent their elite troops to support the front lines.
The Spiritual Mining Bureau urgently allocated spiritual stone resources to create stronger talismans and magical tools, as well as to provide supplies for the monks.
National Shusen University sent students to support logistics and intelligence work.
The Witch Clan is preparing to mobilize the Corpse Puppet Army as the last line of defense.
The demons are responsible for setting up illusion traps and disrupting the enemy's formation.
The military provided fire support and cooperated with the monks in long-range strikes.
An unprecedented joint counterattack plan is quietly brewing.
On the battlefield of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, tactical adjustments quickly took effect.
The elites of Bureau 749 were divided into small teams, flexibly moving around the battlefield and using the terrain to ambush the enemy.
The magic weapons in their hands have been specially strengthened by the Spiritual Mine Bureau. Each flying sword contains the power of thunder and lightning, and is specifically aimed at the heart of the mechanical giant.
"Target locked, mecha core number three!"
A 749th Bureau squad leader whispered the order.
The next second, a ray of lightning sword light cut through the sky and hit the target accurately, and the explosion was deafening!
At the same time, the demon clan's illusion was activated.
Tushan Yuhua performed an illusion, and a large cloud of purple smoke spread out, rendering the enemy's optical detection system ineffective.
"They're out of sight!"
Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation and the Xuanhuang Tower burst out with brilliant golden light, directly suppressing a group of mechanical giants!
Bifang circled in the air, constantly spewing flames and burning the insect swarm.
In the rear, the military mobilized heavy missiles and laser cannons to carry out saturation bombing on enemy positions.
“Boom!”
Huge explosions occurred one after another, and the entire plateau seemed to be shaking.
"The enemy has suffered heavy losses and can no longer maintain a stable form!"
There is good news from the front.
"very good."
Long Weihua ordered, "Keep advancing and make sure to annihilate them all!"
The battle lasted for a full six hours and ended with human victory.
Although the losses were not small, valuable experience was gained.
