Chapter 450 Earth Explosion
17:06
There was less than an hour left before night fell, but Haiyan Island and the outlying islands had already been swallowed up by the surging inky clouds.
Black clouds weighed heavily on the sea like cotton wool soaked in oil. Strong winds whipped up ten-meter-high waves that crashed violently against the rocks. Salty vapor mixed with the smell of sulfur filled every inch of the air. The vapor evaporating from the Garan Volcano mixed with thick smoke turned the sea surface for dozens of miles into a boiling hell, making it impossible to distinguish the boundary between the sea and the sky.
Haiyan Island is surrounded by sea on all sides, and it has become a gathering of sea monsters during the storm. Various creatures that make people feel afraid of giants appear from time to time in the shadows. Under the black water, a colorful snake shadow like a mountain is cruising between the wave valleys, and its dark green scales are stirring up whirlpools, making it impossible to see the whole picture. Further away, pale tentacles with a diameter of more than 30 meters pierce the sea surface and then crash down. The tidal wall stirred up instantly swallowed up half of the lighthouse on the outlying island. A low-frequency buzzing sound vibrated in the air, which was the breathing of the indescribable giant in the deep sea.
At this time, the entire island was shaking slightly. The dense black strange waves in the mountains and valleys were rushing towards the Haiyan Prison in the southwest of the island like a mountain torrent, as if they were eyeing some prey. There were even strange creatures digging into the ground and tearing the surface apart.
"That thing is invisible, use shockwaves to sweep it!"
In the geothermal well, Lin Xian shouted loudly. At this time, thousands of drones, under Viola's control, quickly moved towards the direction of Lin Xian and the others for defensive consideration. At the same time, KIKI rushed out from the gap between the drones like a stream of light.
“Huh~”
KIKI exhaled lightly in the air, and then clenched his hands into the air!
Buzz!
A low humming sound was heard, and an almost transparent spherical light curtain quickly contracted towards her heart. In an instant, it transformed into a shock wave light ball emitting white fluorescence, radiating out instantly with her as the center!
boom!!!!
The invisible shock wave vibrated out in all directions with a spherical amplification, and instantly spread out to a diameter of hundreds or even thousands of meters with huge impact force!
The shock wave directly swept away the heat waves and steam erupting from the geothermal well, spreading rapidly and violently in the form of a ball wave. Countless fallen rocks, including the guardrails and debris above the geothermal device, were all blown away by the impact force!
【Target found! 】
Under this 360-degree impact with no blind spots, Viola's thousands of [eyes] captured the target within milliseconds. In an instant, all the Thunder Falcon drones changed direction at the same time and bombarded a broken passage above.
The dense red pulse rays were precisely focused, and a sharp pulse sound of energy erupted. At the moment the rays hit, a light green biological force field ripple suddenly flashed at the seemingly empty passage. The ripple rippled and transmitted, instantly outlining the outline of a completely transparent twisted giant insect.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian immediately realized that it was the monster hiding in the flood discharge channel. This thing was elusive. Qian Dele and Ning Jing's team had searched for it before blocking the upper passage, but they had no clue at all. Who knew that this thing was not only invisible, but even biological detectors could not sense it. It was really weird!
"Found it, catch it!"
"Okay!" Before Lin Xian finished speaking, KIKI had already used a surge of mental power to directly capture the creature whose biological force field glow had not yet disappeared. The huge force even stirred up a circle of deep cracks on the wall of the broken passage. It was obvious that KIKI used all his strength.
With the current strength of Lin Xian and KIKI, the special-level monster is not a problem at all as long as they use all their strength. Hearing the earth-shaking outside, Lin Xian knew that he had to fight quickly, so he didn't hesitate at all and raised his hand to point.
Gravitational lensing.
Black holes are generated directly out of thin air across dimensions, and they can cure all kinds of nonsense!
Buzz!
A humming sound was heard in space, and the sound of the surging magma waves in the geothermal well seemed to disappear instantly, even the scorching light was directly swallowed up. A distorted piece of space was formed out of thin air in the area controlled by KIKI, like a vortex of black water in the air.
In an instant, the twisted dark area quickly collapsed into a black hole without any light, and a crushing sound was heard instantly. A continuous twisted creature suddenly appeared in the originally transparent area, like a giant channel black worm, but its whole body seemed to be wrapped by countless snake-like transparent sea worms. After emerging from invisibility, the main body composed of those black worms continued to twist and change color. A large number of black worms began to be sucked in and crushed by the gravitational lens, and even the force field light on their bodies could not escape.
As if sensing the threat, the giant black worm began to twist wildly, and the black snakes on its body seemed to be able to disintegrate in different directions, directly dispersing and climbing up the rock wall of the geothermal well. It was so densely packed that it looked like it had 'melted' and spread out.
Seeing this, Lin Xian and KIKI seemed to have directly witnessed what the "indescribable" thing was. This was not a specific creature at all, neither an insect nor a snake, and its body could penetrate and escape in any shape. At this time, after Lin Xian's gravitational lens swallowed out a hollow area, the remaining insects and snakes all broke away from the swallowing area of the gravitational lens, spreading a "snake wall" of hundreds of meters on the rock wall!
At the same time, countless black insects and snakes continued to crawl out of the passage, gradually covering a larger area. In just a blink of an eye, the rock wall of the geothermal well in front of Lin Xian and KIKI had turned gray and black. With the wriggling movements of those insects and snakes, it seemed as if the rock wall had come alive, and people who saw it got goosebumps all over.
"How disgusting." Kiki said in surprise: "How could these guys give us a level 4 mark?"
"No matter it's a group or just one, the scale of this thing has reached the standard of the special level, and it can also be invisible. It looks like it's not easy to deal with!" Lin Xian's forehead was sweating. He put away the gravitational lens and looked solemn.
If it was just one, he would definitely be able to deal with it in a short time. After all, he had tested his supercritical diffraction sword before. As long as this skill was used accurately, killing monsters below S-level would not be a problem at all.
But now, looking at the densely packed and wriggling 'insect wall', Lin Xian realized that things were not good.
At this time, the black insects had almost spread over half of the geothermal well dome, covering the rock wall that was burned red by the magma into black and gray. Then, the insects and snakes all turned their eyeless heads towards Lin Xian and KIKI, as if they were preparing to release something!
[Detecting a rise in the Soul Dang value, attack warning!]
"Girl, come back!" Lin Xian, who also sensed the danger, immediately shouted to KIKI.
At this moment, Vio controlled all the drones to gather together. The Iron Curtain drones opened their defense shields and accurately combined into a huge metal hemisphere blocking the heads of Lin Xian and KIKI. At the same time, the moment KIKI flew back, Lin Xian immediately activated the AT force field shield, and then the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring opened to expand the force field shield!
At this moment, millions of black insects and snakes on the dome of the rock wall suddenly burst out with high-energy dark energy, and countless silver-green silk threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye shot out towards Lin Xian. Those silk threads were like silk, and were made of liquid sprayed like sharp swords. They were extremely difficult to detect, but when they approached the center, as the density increased, a silver-green mist wave seemed to appear outside the drone's defense cover, instantly bombarding the Iron Curtain drone's defense shield.
At this moment, only a huge muffled sound was heard, and these iron curtain shields forged from high-strength metal, along with the drones, were instantly melted away by the attack curtain composed of millions of jet threads, as if they were erased by high energy and disappeared in an instant. When those dense threads hit Lin Xian's AT force field shield, an air explosion that almost shattered the eardrums exploded in the originally silent space!
boom!
Silver light exploded, and at that moment Lin Xian's AT force field shield suddenly flashed. Lin Xian felt that his power was almost drained. As a conditioned reflex, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring immediately lit up three rainbow rings, which blocked the huge impact.
At this time, the Iron Curtain drones that melted away in an instant were left with only countless metal fragments falling like rain.
"What a perverted squirt!"
At this moment, Lin Xian's heart was pounding. The special-level attack power should not be underestimated. This unprecedented attack method made him suffer a great loss. Even if he hid in the Infinity, he could not withstand the dense spray of insects and snakes without an AT force field shield. At this moment, Lin Xian regretted not calling Brother Huo or Ryunosuke, but it was too late now.
"Wow, your drone..."
KIKI became anxious at the sight. She didn't bring her own VK electric knife. At this critical moment, she glanced at the hot magma below the passage, and gave a light shout. She raised her hand and used her telekinesis to grab a huge ball of red magma from the surging magma well below and threw it into the air. The magma ball, like a small sun, illuminated the geothermal well with a scorching light, and the heat wave was overwhelming. Then KIKI gritted her teeth, raised her right fist, used her telekinesis to swing it towards the magma ball!
Bang!
The telekinetic fist with a force of ten thousand tons hit the magma ball, like setting off fireworks, instantly spraying the high-temperature magma towards the dome and the rock wall in a large area!
Wow!
The next moment, the magma was like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, covering most of the insects and snakes attached to the dome of the rock wall. For a moment, the green biological force field shield on the wall flashed wildly, and the entire rock wall was ignited. A large number of insects and snakes fell like rain, twisting and rolling in the air, and fell into the magma below.
Lin Xian didn't expect KIKI to use such a move. It seemed to be quite effective at this time, but when he looked up, he saw that there were still countless insects and snakes clinging to the rock wall. The strangest thing was that after killing so many insects and snakes, the dark mark detectors of his and KIKI's power armor were still flashing the light of the level 4 mark.
At this moment, Lin Xian realized that the thing in front of him was most likely some kind of independent life form, and perhaps it had to be completely destroyed or there was some kind of [subject].
"Lin...Lin Xian, chi..."
The signal affected by the geothermal well was now intermittent, and Chen Sixuan's voice came: "Something's going on here... We found it..."
"Teacher Chen?" Chen Sixuan's voice made Lin Xian's heart tighten. He looked at the black insects that continued to gather densely above his head, and realized that the crisis was coming both underwater and outside. No matter what this thing was, it had to be solved immediately.
"Lin Xian, what should we do?" Seeing the situation at this time, KIKI also felt a headache and his face changed.
[I used all drones to conduct an electro-optical visual scan, and a total of 316,508 equivalent physical creatures were scanned, not including those that have been eliminated and those that may exist in the passage.]
Viola calmly reported to Lin Xian: "There are only 914 Thunder Falcon 2000 Pulse Drones left. Without considering the bio-force field, I can clear them all in 173 seconds at the fastest."
whoosh!
While Viola was calculating, all the Thunder Falcon drones had opened fire at full force, accurately capturing every insect snake. Under the sweep of the red pulse ray, a large number of insect snakes continued to fall.
Viola kept correcting herself as she stood in front of Lin Xian. [Clearance rate 45.1%, time needs to be doubled. Based on the fluctuations in this creature's Soul-Draining Value, I've deduced that there might be a control center similar to me. I'm searching for it with all my might.]
"It's too late."
Lin Xian looked around and said decisively: "By the time we finish killing this thing, the strange creature outside will have already rushed in."
After saying that, he looked at KIKI: "There's no time. Let Viola hold it. KIKI, dig out the reactor!"
"Don't care about the mark?" KIKI was surprised when she heard that.
"Let's take a gamble!" Lin Xian glanced at the geothermal well and said sternly, "Just blow this place up. No matter how many monsters come, we can just use the Heaven and Earth Longevity Blast to clear the mark."
"Then we are also gone?" KIKI widened her eyes.
Lin Xian looked at KIKI: "Have you forgotten how we escaped from Baicheng?"
"You mean..."
KIKI reacted immediately and flew out without hesitation. She hovered above the boiling magma pool and suddenly pressed down with her arms!
boom!
The telekinetic field transformed into a giant palm that plunged into the surging lava. The titanium alloy shell of the core reactor of the earth's core device, which was submerged in the face below, groaned harshly in the magma. The columnar structure weighing thousands of tons was pulled up abruptly, and the lava waterfall it brought up splashed on the group of insects and snakes like tears of blood, evaporating into a wall of burnt and smelly mist.
"Hold on for 30 seconds."
Lin Xian gave Viola an order and immediately jumped down. The mechanical heart roared, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring was fully opened, and a blue-white data stream gushed out from his pupils, turning into a materialized cubic grid that wrapped around the reactor and directly covered the Dragon ship-borne reactor configuration on it.
Then Lin Xian raised his hand and waved it. A robotic arm extended from the Black Star Forge space. A high-energy laser beam cut through the reactor shell, exposing the internal honeycomb fuel rod array to the scorching air. The moment his fingertips touched the central control module, pale golden lines spread like a living thing, transforming the confinement field originally used for geothermal conversion into a chain reaction catalyst.
"Chain reaction catalyst loading 99% warning! Bio-energy reaction exceeds the threshold!" Viola's alarm and the roar from the top of the rock exploded at the same time - the remaining 300,000 insects and snakes suddenly gathered into a drill with a diameter of 20 meters, falling straight down with silver-green stingers!
"Let's go!" Lin Xian quickly covered the reactor with metal materials and then shouted to KIKI.
"This thing needs a critical reaction to explode. How are you going to detonate it?"
Lin Xian turned around and glared, "I also have a large 'detonator'. The manual timing will buy us some time."
"detonator?"
Buzz!
KIKI looked up at this moment, and saw a giant white missile slowly coming out from the lightning storm of the Black Star Forge mechanical door above Lin Xian. Her pupils shrank suddenly.
"Hyperion Directional Confinement Cannon!?"
"This is definitely enough to trigger a fusion chain reaction." Lin Xian's eyes sharpened. "With a blast of this magnitude, we'll probably have to rush out of the erupting volcano."
