The chill rose continuously from the tip and body of the blade, then suddenly disappeared into the air, giving off a feeling of icy coldness at first glance.
Moreover, in addition to providing a continuous stream of designs for the Dust-Sealed Ice Blade, that eccentric scientist also added a special agent to the inside of the mecha's arm.
This liquid is only effective on solid substances in sub-zero environments, reducing the separation between molecules and making them adhere more tightly together. With a higher density, its hardness is in no way inferior to that of alloy steel blades.
More importantly, it can only be truly effective in actual combat.
As soon as the dusty ice blade appeared, Axe-Hand's gaze was immediately fixed on it, and he didn't look away for a long time, as if trying to figure out what it was.
Then it opened its mouth, and a strange sound came out of it.
Obscure and difficult to understand, hoarse and low, like a murmur, it goes straight into people's minds.
Inside the War Maiden's cockpit, Luo Xiaoli heard the axe's whispers. She frowned slightly, unable to discern whether it was language, a specific incantation, or its method of enslaving insects and communicating with them!
Not only her, but everyone in the dimension of death heard the voice. The Federation's researchers and soldiers were slightly taken aback, but they did not feel anything unusual.
Jiang Cheng reacted quickly and immediately communicated with Number Four in his mind, instructing it to record everything the axe-headed creature murmured, as this would be of great use in future research on invasive species.
If... if it really is its language.
So what was Axehead just saying?
Jiang Cheng didn't have time to think. The raging fire had been burning for a long time, clearing away the obstructions in his vision. He could see the War Maiden's steel blade lying on the ground, stained with some green liquid. The blade was mostly corroded, leaving only half a body.
He stared at the greenish substance, pondering whether it was the same thing as the liquid secreted inside an insect's belly.
However, it seems that the axehead is several evolutionary levels higher than the insect, and they are not even in the same category of creatures.
The War Maiden's sealed ice blade was completed. Without wasting a moment, she unleashed a torrent of azure flames from behind the engine, propelling her massive body toward the axe with incredible speed, launching an attack!
She thought to herself that since the liquid spitting out of the axe head posed a huge threat to the mech itself, she had to fight it at close range and absolutely not give it any room to attack from a distance.
Only by seizing every opportunity on the battlefield can one be invincible.
So, the War Maiden lunged forward, like a wild horse that couldn't be pulled back, moving so fast that you could see her afterimage.
The axe seemed not to have expected that the battle maiden, after wielding the ice blade, would make such a quick decision and find a way to deal with it in an instant. It raised its arm, opened its mouth wide and let out a tearing roar. At the same time, an axe-shaped object suddenly grew out of the lower edge of its arm, which looked extremely sharp.
No one expected that it would have the ability to change its own body.
The Valkyrie twirled her sword in mid-air with an extremely beautiful flourish, like a whirlwind, and slashed down without hesitation, but it blocked the attack solidly with its axe!
The crisp sound of metal striking metal made Luo Xiaoli's ears ring!
Then she felt an incredibly powerful force that almost overturned its more than 300-meter-long body, bursting forth from that seemingly frail axe.
That power was explosive and caught everyone off guard.
It immediately made it retreat several steps.
In an instant, the axe-wielder seized the initiative. A cruel light appeared in his murky yellow pupils. He bared his teeth, swung his arm around the blade, and swung it out as if aiming for the War Maiden's head!
Such power and weight.
If it were hit, no one could believe that the hardness of the mech's outer materials could withstand such an attack!
Luo Xiaoli never expected that the incredibly heavy body of the War Maiden could be pushed out like that. She thought that once she took the initiative, she would become more and more adept at it.
This put her in a dangerous situation.
Forced into a corner, he could only raise his ice blade, hoping to withstand the attack head-on. If he couldn't block it, he would give up, but at least he could slow down the opponent's attack and prevent the outer wall of the mech from taking the full force of the blow!
Exhausted from dealing with the insects, the soldiers would occasionally glance up to check on the situation with the mechs. When they saw the mechs facing danger, their hearts would clench, and they would all breathe a sigh of relief when they were out of danger. Then, panting, they would let out a few shouts, gripping their shields tightly to protect their superiors behind them.
The slugs were relentless; the fire had been burning for over ten minutes, and even the shield with heat-reducing properties was getting too hot to hold. You couldn't hold it at all if you weren't wearing gloves.
But the number of flying silver beetles showed no sign of decreasing; no matter how fierce the fire was, they continued to rush into the inferno.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that countless insect eggs were hatching on the glacier not far away, like a supply system that could reproduce countless times no matter how many were killed.
Jiang Cheng, behind the shield, squinted and pointed to the glacier with his finger, saying to Tali, "I suspect there's a queen insect there, frantically laying eggs. At this rate, we'll never be able to kill them all, and it'll only put more strain on the War Maidens."
"In that case, we'd have to destroy the glacier and bombard it with artillery fire?"
"Send over a medium-range missile; the high temperature from the explosion will be enough to kill the queen insect."
“Fine, I’ll give the order to notify the people outside,” Tali said, turning his head and roaring, “Messenger, come here!”
