As soon as she let go, she slid down the muddy ground, getting faster and faster, like someone being swept downstream in a fast-flowing river.
If she continued sliding like that, she would definitely break bones and injure herself if she encountered any obstacles along the way. She pushed against the ground with her hands, controlling her body to slide down towards a protruding broken wall.
With her feet planted on the broken wall, before she could even catch her breath, she noticed that the entire ground around her was beginning to slide downwards, or rather, the entire holy site was beginning to slide downwards.
This vast area encompassed three courtyards and nearly a hundred houses, roughly the size of the military parade ground in the capital. Now, the entire plot of land, along with the houses, corridors, and pond, was sliding downwards. At the same time, she could clearly feel the ground beneath her rising steadily amidst a deafening roar.
Even in her nightmares, she would never dream of such a terrifying and bizarre scene.
Halfway down, the sacred ground shattered into four or five pieces. Some slid to the sides, while others continued to slide downwards, revealing the silvery-white metal surface beneath. Meng Ruliu was standing on the broken wall. With a powerful leap, she first landed on the broken surface, then after several more leaps, landed on the metal surface.
The pieces of ground she had just been standing on, along with dozens of houses, slid down the other side of the metal surface and disappeared.
The metal surface was also tilted, making it difficult for her to stand, and she continued to slide down. She finally saw a protrusion, reached out and grabbed it, temporarily stopping her slide.
The defensive rifle was nowhere to be found. Water mixed with gravel, mud, and debris rushed down from above, and she quickly lost her grip, letting go and sliding down again.
Upon seeing the iconic artificial hill at the front gate of the holy site, she quickly controlled her body and slid towards it. Just before she missed it, she reached out and grabbed a rock from the hill.
She breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the artificial rock with both hands, and quickly moved to the front of the rock. With the rock blocking her view, the water flowing down from above could not reach her.
After the crisis was temporarily averted, she looked down.
The courtyard wall of the sacred site and the stone steps leading down the mountain had long since vanished. She was now on the edge of that enormous metal surface. The artificial mountain was the only thing still remaining on this metal surface, dozens of feet high above the ground, like the city walls of Shangjing and Xipingguan stacked on top of each other. Even after riding the giant eagle, she felt dizzy.
Beneath the silvery-white metal surface, two enormous metal pillars extend from the left and right, resembling human arms, pointing directly at the Jin army formation.
The shape of the metal pillar reminded her of a defensive gun.
"Good heavens!" she exclaimed involuntarily, "What is this thing?"
Equally shocked as she was were the Great Jin army arrayed in front of Jinhua Mountain.
Chu Yi, supporting Wei Jingzhuo, stared in disbelief at the scene before him and said, "This... is simply unbelievable."
He brought Wei Jingzhuo back to the Jin army camp and arranged for a doctor to come and check on Wei Jingzhuo's injuries. Unexpectedly, the earth suddenly began to shake. In the intense shaking, the entire Jinhua Mountain split into pieces, and a huge metal monster broke through the soil and stood up in the heavy rain.
The monster's main body was a huge metal disc, thick in the middle and thin at the edges, with two pairs of metal legs, one in front and one behind. Originally, the Holy Land was built on the surface of that metal disc, but now the entire Holy Land compound had slid off the metal disc, piling up into small mountains of ruins around its four legs.
On the belly of the metal disc, a smaller metal disc hung, slowly rotating and emitting eerie green lights.
This monster was like a huge, silvery-white metallic crab, as large as a mountain.
After the giant crab stands upright on its four legs, its main body is about thirty feet off the ground. On both sides of the giant crab's body are two structures that resemble human arms, and at the end of each arm is a huge defensive gun.
The muzzle of the defensive gun could fit inside an entire residential house.
What terrified him most was that the muzzle of the defensive gun on the Cancer's left arm was pointing directly at them, and countless green orbs of light were condensing from the air around the muzzle, then flying towards the muzzle at varying speeds, as if the defensive gun was drawing something from the surrounding air.
Then the gun barrel lit up, so bright it was blinding, like a small green sun appearing on the battlefield.
He instinctively sensed something was wrong and said to Wei Jingzhuo, "Jinzhi?"
Wei Jingzhuo also stared in disbelief at the monster that stood like a mountain between heaven and earth, speechless.
Behind them, the entire Jin army was too shocked to speak. Many soldiers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, looking up at the enormous metal monster that far exceeded their imagination.
The next second, the monster's left arm defensive gun burst forth with a strong green light.
The earth shook violently, and the entire world was dyed green.
