As it retreated, the slugs surged forward frantically, like a relentless tide, gradually twisting into a single force that lashed out like a whip.
The honeycomb missiles on the Valkyrie's shoulder shot out again, clearing her field of vision; otherwise, she would have lost sight of Gu Ling in no time.
However, the explosion sent black smoke billowing out and tore apart the insect's body. These fragments fell like rain, obscuring the view to some extent.
Just as pilot Luo Xiaoli was maneuvering the mecha, trying to quickly and completely eliminate these annoying things, the mechanical voice of Brain-like No. 4 suddenly sounded.
"A flying object has been detected moving through the smoke at an extremely high speed. Please take cover immediately!"
The Valkyrie abruptly stopped in mid-air. As the steel blade drew a perfect semi-circle and was about to slash sideways, she couldn't stop her momentum. She watched helplessly as a ball of liquid shot out from the black mist, carrying a faint green hue, its target being her head!
A sudden "boom" echoed in Luo Xiaoli's mind, and almost instinctively, she leaned back. Her brain rapidly assessed the trajectory of the liquid's flight, providing an answer in 0.0091 seconds, prompting her to take the appropriate action.
However, it was not just a clump of green liquid that pierced through the dark mist. It spread out like arrows from a massive army of ten thousand men outside the city, so numerous that she had no way to avoid it.
In such a critical situation.
Luo Xiaoli's heart was about to stop!
The brain-like being couldn't detect the components of the liquid from a distance, and didn't know what the consequences would be if it got contaminated. She deeply understood the responsibility she bore. Wan Xingyan had once said that piloting a War Maiden to fight against unfamiliar invading creatures required extreme caution in everything.
As the War Maidens at the pinnacle of modern technological civilization, losing one step means losing humanity's future.
At the critical moment, she suddenly remembered a solution.
She remembered that when Adela and Teacher September fought, Adela used the Northern Broadsword. This type of sword, when used in local swordsmanship, has a move that can inflict a thousand damage on the enemy but also eight hundred on the user. It requires constant practice to master the skillful use of this technique to stop quickly and avoid injury.
She was curious about this move and tried it a few times, but gave up because she couldn't get the hang of it.
It now seems that only by stopping his massive alloy blade, which was slashing sideways like a crescent moon, and blocking the incoming liquid, can he escape this dangerous situation.
After all, a damaged melee weapon is just that—damaged—and won't cause any real harm.
With this thought in mind, Luo Xiaoli gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and used all her strength. The muscles in her arms suddenly tensed up, like pulling back a wild horse about to rush off a cliff, stopping the giant blade's side slash.
She bit so hard that her jawline was etched out.
He couldn't help but let out a low growl from his throat, his whole body leaning back, his fists clenched tightly, not daring to loosen them even an inch.
The side-splitting movement was originally extremely fast, but under the interaction of forces, it became slower and slower, and she actually managed to suppress her momentum!
Flip your wrist!
Just half a second before the deadly liquid arrived, she swiftly twirled the blade, the alloy giant blade moving as if it were nothing under the Valkyrie's control! The scene was truly astonishing!
The spinning giant blade blocked most of the glowing green liquid from advancing, which then splattered onto the blade.
The next second, the incredibly hard blade was corroded and turned into liquid, dripping onto the glacier.
That wasn't all. After the falling liquid completely corroded the blade, it even melted down into the ice on the ground, creating a deep, unseen pit.
Luo Xiaoli quickly let go of her hand and threw the knife on the ground.
Fortunately, her judgment was correct.
The axe-wielding creature was truly cunning. It deliberately kept its distance, allowing the fearless insects to rush forward one after another. With their vision obscured by the smoke from the cannonballs, it used this to shoot out a highly toxic liquid to destroy the War Maiden's defenses.
If it fails to block the melting, the War Maiden will have no way of knowing whether the surface defense is sufficient to withstand the melting. If it cannot withstand the melting, the mecha itself will suffer severe damage.
All those years of research and development have come to naught at the last minute.
Today's battle will be a complete defeat.
Luo Xiaoli squinted at the axe, bent down, and plunged her hand straight into the glacier.
The other party had no idea what it was doing, and a wary look appeared in its cloudy yellow eyes.
A few days ago, a research whiz who couldn't stand his fellow team members asked Jiang Cheng to split up the cold weapon research group so that he and another bastard would be completely separated and never work together again.
The bastard he was referring to was actually a super genius in the weapons department.
The designer of "Dust-Sealed Ice Blade".
Before the axe-wielding maiden could react, she plunged her hand into the glacier. When she pulled it out, she held a solidified ice blade, radiating a chilling aura. In terms of both size and intimidation, it was countless times superior to the alloy steel blade she had previously wielded.
What it didn't expect was that this dusty ice blade could be condensed tens of thousands of times. As long as it captured water molecules in the air, it could be forged into an ice blade!
Never-ending!
