Although the primeval forest has become much more abundant in primordial energy due to the presence of the Aga Source Gate, no matter how much the animals in the primeval forest mutate, it is impossible for them to reach the Vertebra Realm.
This squad of soldiers numbered a hundred. In addition to rifles, they carried twenty heavy machine guns, ten rocket launchers, ten cannons, ten large-caliber sniper rifles, and even ten large wooden crates. If Gu Yu's senses were correct, those were laser cannons, a new type of weapon developed by humanity to deal with the Source Gate.
Although the laser cannon was not perfect, its power was definitely not small. It could probably reach N, which is the power of breaking the limit, in a single shot.
Moreover, the three soldiers at the head were wearing mechs. Gu Yu didn't know how powerful these mechs were, but they were probably comparable to the one Fang Jingru was wearing, or even stronger, since America's technology was second to none in the world.
With such a configuration, even a Grandmaster or a mere Nascent Soul cultivator would have to avoid its sharp edge.
The United States has been concealing the existence of the Agapon Gate for years, exploring it to obtain resources. This team of 100 soldiers must be the United States' exploration force.
As long as Gu Yu and the others follow them, they will be able to find the location of Aga Yuanmen.
After withdrawing his primordial spirit power, Gu Yu looked at Xu Ling'er and the other two. He recounted what he had seen, and the group followed behind the American troops. Of course, they were very careful, because if they were discovered, given the American soldiers' weaponry, they would probably have no chance of escape.
"You just used the detection power of your primordial spirit, didn't you?" The four of them followed the American troops cautiously, and Shi Shuai asked Gu Yu.
"Yes," Gu Yu replied. That thing was indeed a primordial spirit, but Gu Yu felt that it was not his own. He didn't know exactly what it was. It seemed to be related to the voice he had encountered that day. Moreover, not only the primordial spirit, but even Gu Yu's bone marrow contained a strange power.
That power was immense; it wasn't source energy, but it was a hundred times stronger. Ordinary swords and blades couldn't cut through his body at all. Gu Yu even felt that even if he was injured, he wouldn't be killed.
His blood apertures were also extremely powerful, comparable to those of a powerhouse at the Spine Realm.
"You've already reached the Core Formation?" Shi Shuai asked upon hearing Gu Yu's answer.
"No," Gu Yu replied. The combat strength of the Chui Jing is one dragon, which is N, and he is currently...
Contribution:
Talent: 108
Combat strength: N
Triple boost: (5000 contribution points per use, lasts for three minutes)
Source Qi: (1 wisp for every 10 contribution points)
Source space: 3 cubic meters (1 cubic meter for every 1000 contribution points)
Source Soldiers: (1080 contribution points each, maximum 10)
Gu Yu's data template has undergone a slight change this time. His contribution points have been almost exhausted. Although he has more than 10,000, each boost requires 5,000, and he can only boost for six minutes before it is not enough.
As for combat power, apart from the power of his blood aperture and pulse gate, his physical strength alone could break through the limit, which was beyond his imagination. No one's strength was so great. Even some races, whose physical strength was born strong, could not compare with him. Of course, this excludes some powerful beast races, such as dragons, whose physical strength was N from birth, and phoenixes, which were slightly less powerful but still had N.
Gu Yu guessed that the changes in his physical body were related to the powerful force in his bone marrow, and that day he vaguely heard the terms "god" and "demon".
What are gods and demons? In mythology, Pangu, who created the world, is a god and demon. So Gu Yu wonders if the power in his bone marrow might be the power of gods and demons.
Does Pangu exist? This cannot be confirmed or denied, after all, cultivation is real, and some races within the Source Gate are beings from mythology.
The source weapons are now more expensive, but their strength is also greater. He currently has a source weapon with 1080 contribution points in his source space, whose strength has reached the limit, exactly the power of an elephant.
"Without the Cone Realm, how can there be a Primordial Spirit?" Shi Shuai couldn't understand it.
“The world is full of wonders,” Gu Yu replied.
“You really aren’t human, you’re a monster,” Shi Shuai said. When they first met, Gu Yu was only comparable to a Grandmaster. Now he has a primordial spirit, although he hasn’t reached the Spine Realm yet. But Shi Shuai had heard that the Ma, Zhao, and Mo families had used Spine Realm experts to deal with Gu Yu, and even used new alloy bullets. Gu Yu still managed to escape, and they even issued a city-wide wanted notice. So Shi Shuai believed that Gu Yu had the combat power of a Spine Realm expert.
“I agree,” Che Tong said from the side. In terms of talent, Che Tong was a unique genius in Shangcheng, but he never expected that after meeting Gu Yu, he would be nothing compared to him. His talent, which he was once proud of, was now utterly worthless.
"By the way, what is her cultivation level?" Shi Shuai asked Gu Yu. Shi Shuai had only met Xu Ling'er when she saved Gu Yu.
"In terms of cultivation, her cultivation is higher than mine," Gu Yu replied. Although Xu Ling'er's combat strength was not as good as his, Xu Ling'er was a tenth-grade grandmaster, while Gu Yu was only an eighth-grade grandmaster.
"What?" Shi Shuai and Che Tong were both stunned. This was unbelievable! Xu Ling'er looked to be about the same age as Gu Yu, but her cultivation was even higher than Gu Yu's. How come they were both encountering such prodigies?
"You two are truly a match made in heaven!" Che Tong said, giving a thumbs up. Two devils, a perfect match.
“It can talk.” Gu Yu turned around and patted Che Tong on the shoulder.
Xu Ling'er blushed but didn't say anything; her silence was tacit agreement.
After walking for about half an hour, the American soldiers suddenly stopped and became alert. This made Gu Yu and his companions somewhat frightened. Could it be that they had been discovered?
“There’s something,” said the leading American soldier in mecha.
“He’s quite big,” said the soldier next to him.
"All on alert," the lead soldier ordered, then he moved and flew into the air.
"What are they saying?" Shi Shuai asked, leaning closer to Gu Yu.
"I don't know, I can't understand it." Gu Yu shook his head. Although he was currently exploring and could hear the leading soldier speaking, he couldn't understand the language of the United States! The language of the United States was a nightmare for him, both in his past life and this one, since he could only score in the teens on school exams.
"You can't understand the language of the United States?" Shi Shuai felt a little better after hearing this. Finally, there was one thing that Gu Yu couldn't do. Of course, Gu Yu couldn't drive either.
“It’s not normal that we can’t understand it,” Che Tong said. “They’re speaking some kind of bird language. I think the whole world should speak Chinese. What kind of culture does their bird language have?”
"Can you speak their beautiful country language?" Shi Shuai asked.
"Wait." Gu Yu's expression suddenly changed, because within his perception range, a giant creature suddenly appeared and was sweeping towards the direction of the American soldiers.
"What's wrong?" Shi Shuai asked immediately when he saw Gu Yu's expression change.
"Let's retreat quickly." After Gu Yu finished speaking, he pulled Xu Ling'er and retreated instantly, leaving Shi Shuai and Che Tong behind, their mouths twitching involuntarily.
They're so inconsiderate, only caring about Xu Ling'er and ignoring the other two. If there's any danger, wouldn't they just be cannon fodder?
Despite thinking this, the two were quite fast and retreated instantly.
"David, what is that?" Just as the voice finished, the American soldier flying in the air suddenly narrowed his pupils, and a huge, blood-red maw snapped at him.
Click...
In an instant, David was swallowed up, and the enormous figure appeared in front of the American soldiers.
It was a huge python, ten zhang long, completely black, and covered with hard scales.
"It's the Titanoboa! Everyone be careful, fire!" said the lead soldier in his mech on the ground. He then moved, and his two mech arms instantly transformed into two cannons, gathering energy and blasting towards the Titanoboa.
The other soldiers opened fire instantly, and another mech transformed one arm into a knife and the other into a shield, charging towards the Titan Serpent.
Immediately, artillery fire raged, bullets and shells struck the Titanoboa's body, causing its scales to fly off and blood to splatter everywhere.
As the mech charged at it, Titan Python lashed out with its tail, sending the mech flying.
The python's tail struck the crowd, instantly turning several people into minced meat.
"Use laser cannons and large-caliber sniper rifles." Seeing that the shells and bullets were no match for the Titan Serpent, the mecha man gave the order.
roar…………
Just as the soldiers opened the wooden crate to prepare to use the laser cannon, the Titan Python roared, and a suppressive force swept out, leaving the soldiers stunned.
“It’s at the Spine Realm, this beast is at the Spine Realm.” The mecha man said. The Titan Python used the power of primordial spirit intimidation. This power comes from the suppression of the soul. He was fine because of his mecha protection, but the other soldiers were not.
Just as the Titanoboa opened its blood-red maw to bite, it suddenly trembled in pain and rolled on the ground. Its massive body crushed a large tree, relieving the soldiers, who quickly opened the wooden crate and took out the laser cannon.
The ten laser cannons gathered their energy and swept towards the Titan Serpent in the next second.
boom…………
Under the beam of the laser cannon, the Titanoboa was instantly engulfed by energy. Its massive body collapsed to the ground, motionless. The next second, David burst out of the Titanoboa's belly.
“A beast is a beast,” David said. If this beast didn’t swallow him whole, dealing with the Titan Serpent wouldn’t be so easy. His mech was the strongest of the three, far beyond what the Titan Serpent could digest, and the Titan Serpent’s stomach was extremely vulnerable.
"Ryan, how is John?" David asked, seeing that there were only three mechs in front of him and Ryan.
"I'm fine." John stood up in the distance, his helmet open, panting heavily. Electricity and deactivation appeared on his mech, clearly indicating that the Titan Serpent's tail had dealt him a severe blow.
"Repair on the spot." David said to the group when he saw John emitting electric current. He then went to John and his mech immediately started to repair John's mech, while Ryan looked at the other wounded soldiers.
“During this period, quite a few creatures have rushed out of the Source Gate. I didn’t expect even such a big guy to come out. If we hadn’t been equipped with second-generation mechs, we probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with this big guy,” Ryan said. “We lost eight men, six were injured, three heavy machine guns were damaged, two rocket launchers and one cannon were destroyed. Fortunately, the laser cannon was not damaged.”
"Our mission this time is very important, everyone equip your laser cannons!" David said. If they had prepared laser cannons from the beginning, they wouldn't have suffered any losses.
“David, the laser cannon is for the mech team,” Ryan said from the side.
“If we all die, who will deliver the laser cannons to the mech team? Without the laser cannons and that thing’s support, they won’t be able to complete the mission. We might as well use the laser cannons first to save our lives,” David said.
“David, I heard that the thing is guarded by a three-pronged monster. Do we think we can succeed?” John asked.
"Isn't there a mech squad? They're equipped with mechs comparable to those in the Spine Realm, and with that thing, it shouldn't be a problem," David said dismissively.
"When will we be able to equip ourselves with mechs comparable to those in the Spine Realm?" Ryan asked enviously.
“It will be soon,” David said. “The research institute is ready for mass production and plans to use a nuclear reactor for energy, which will make the energy supply more abundant.”
“Let’s go! We’re not far from the Source Gate,” John said.
The American soldiers then set off again, and Gu Yu and his men were shocked when they saw the Titan Serpent's body.
"They actually killed that thing," Shi Shuai exclaimed in surprise.
"Good heavens! This thing actually exists in the world! I thought it only existed in movies." Che Tong exclaimed as he looked at the Titanoboa's corpse. After all, this was the first time he had ever seen one.
"A single laser cannon shot is comparable to a strike from a Condensation Realm expert. It's not surprising that ten laser cannons could kill this thing." Gu Yu was the most nonchalant. In his previous life, he had seen not only Titan Pythons, but also Titan Giants, Western Dragons, the Xingtian Clan, and so on.
"The United States' technology is indeed advanced. They have already successfully developed something that is still in the experimental stage in our country." Shi Shuai said with some envy when he heard that the laser cannon's attack was comparable to that of a Cone Realm expert.
"Instead of thinking so much, you should focus on your cultivation." After saying that, Gu Yu pulled Xu Ling'er and walked in the direction where the American soldiers had left.
Another half-hour journey followed. The journey was safe, and they were not attacked. Ahead of them, a huge light curtain, ten feet high and twenty feet wide, appeared.
There were many American soldiers around the light screen. To be precise, there was an American camp next to the light screen, with all kinds of cannons and missile vehicles pointed at it. There were signs of battle around it, and many wounded soldiers. It was obvious that something had come out of the light screen.
Moreover, there were several terrifying auras in the camp, belonging to experts from the United States.
David and his group, holding their passes, passed through without hindrance and walked straight into the light curtain.
"Is this the Source Gate?" Shi Shuai and Che Tong murmured as they looked at the Source Gate. Xu Ling'er also looked at the Source Gate. Although they had always heard of the existence of the Source Gate, they had never seen it before.
"We'll move in after dark," Gu Yu said. They didn't have passes, nor the strength to force their way in, so they could only sneak in.
At night, Gu Yu and his three companions changed into the uniforms of American soldiers and walked openly to the source gate.
The four of them looked at the Source Gate with their own thoughts, some curious and some nervous. Beyond the Source Gate was an unknown world, and people are naturally curious and afraid of the unknown.
As for Gu Yu, he was also somewhat worried. Although the creatures inside the Aga Source Gate were not strong, he had never been inside before. Although he had entered other Source Gates in his previous life, he was already at the Spine Realm when he first entered a Source Gate, and he was led by a King.
"What are you doing approaching the Source Gate?" Just then, a soldier from the United States shouted in the United States language. Soldiers were not allowed to approach the Source Gate without authorization, since monsters often came out of the Source Gate, and approaching the Source Gate was an extremely dangerous act.
"We've been discovered?" Che Tong was startled. Gu Yu, holding Xu Ling'er's hand, stepped into the Source Gate. Seeing Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er enter, Shi Shuai and Che Tong immediately followed.
"Amen." The American soldier was stunned by what he saw. Those people went in? "Someone has entered the Source Gate without permission?"
The soldier suddenly realized something and shouted loudly to his surroundings.
"No need to panic." A voice rang out, "They're just a few small fry. If they want to die, let them in. They're nothing to worry about."
Upon entering the Source Gate, Gu Yu and his companions were immediately struck by a bright light. The next second, a scene of ruins appeared before them, clearly the result of artillery fire, and still radiating radiation.
Gu Yu instantly released gas, protecting the group inside. Nuclear radiation can only be blocked by the gas release of a Grandmaster-level expert. Therefore, martial artists below the Grandmaster level cannot survive under nuclear radiation. Of course, the gas release of a Grandmaster cannot last for too long either. Of course, taking anti-radiation drugs is also an option.
"Let's go quickly," Gu Yu said, and then started running. They needed to get away from here to a place free from nuclear radiation.
The four of them ran for two hours before finally getting out of the ruins. Before them were huge plants; the grass was as tall as a person, and the trees were truly towering giants.
"Such rich Origin Qi!" Shi Shuai and Che Tong exclaimed. "If we can continue to cultivate here, I'm afraid it won't be long before I break through."
Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came, which made Gu Yu and the other three tense up.
It was indeed the sound of a bee, but it was louder than a normal bee's.
"What a huge bee!" Suddenly a bee appeared, seemingly looking at Gu Yu and his companions. It was about half the size of a person, and its stinger, especially the one on its rear end, was as big as a javelin.
"Run!" Gu Yu instantly unleashed a devastating finger strike, piercing through the giant bee's head. The bee fell to the ground, and Gu Yu grabbed Xu Ling'er and turned to run.
