Chapter 409: Chapter 408: Sense of Disharmony
This strange bomb was utterly silent.
But its power was eerily terrifying. As this gigantic humanoid bomb disappeared, from the point where it vanished, the affected area spread fan-shaped in all directions...
Any nearby Shilin Race members had their stone flesh dissolve.
"Retreat quickly, stay away from that area!!!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind.
The Shilin Race members who had charged forward so eagerly now retreated just as rapidly...
Yet even as they retreated, many Shilin Race members perished in that bizarre attack.
These 400 Source Values were well spent.
Xu Lingjun glanced back at the now empty area behind him. Filled with joy, his speed suddenly increased; this attack did not distinguish between friend and foe, and had they been even slightly slower, they would have vanished here too.
With a completely different system of attack, Xu Lingjun dared not gamble on whether his Double Layered Armor could withstand the strange and bizarre attack of the C4 Garuda.
Meanwhile, in the Earth Core World.
Continuously, members of the Shilin Race were killed by that strange attack, without even leaving a corpse... Numerous Shilin Race members kept retreating, seeing the passage getting farther and farther away.
"Chief, what should we do?"
"Wait, the power of this attack is too strong, it can’t last long. Every minute, send someone in to test. Once this strange area disappears, they won’t escape."
The leading stone man coldly remarked, "Their warship has already fallen into our hands; they can’t escape. Don’t forget, outside there are still tens of thousands of our kin... They have no way to escape."
After speaking,
He looked at those panic-stricken retreaters, who couldn’t escape being extinguished.
Just this one bomb wiped out at least five thousand of their kin...
A terrifying bomb, in just over a decade, when did humans develop such advanced battle armor and such a strange bomb?
"Never mind what kind of bomb it is, soon, it will all fade into the past."
He revealed a cold smile, indifferently saying, "You came too late, it’s already... too late."
At this moment.
The Mecha and Battle Armor accelerated simultaneously, with no pursuers behind them, yet they felt even more urgent to escape; just thinking about how they had broadcast their actions to these Shilin Race members for dozens of hours made their hearts shudder.
The journey that originally took several hours now took just a bit over two hours to rush out of the giant pit.
But as soon as they leapt out of the pit, their pupils couldn’t help but shrink...
They saw that the surrounding area of this giant pit was filled with numerous Mysterious races of the heavens... When they first came to this world, they found it had no vegetation or water sources, only countless stones.
But now, they realized that this planet actually didn’t have any stones either.
All the stones were composed of Shilin Race members. Their bodies secrete a special liquid that can bind the stone phosphor into place, and if they remain motionless in the same posture for a while, they will turn into rocks.
The sheer number was evident.
"What do we do?"
"Fight our way out, and find a safe place first."
After a brief discussion, they made their decision.
Han Yun City gave a loud shout, maintaining his high spirited state all the while. By now, his hair and beard were red, unleashing over 200% of his abilities; any less would be fatal.
Now, he struck with full force... hitting Xu Lingjun’s back!
"Your Highness, have you gone mad?"
Liu Dong couldn’t help but exclaim.
Zhao Yang showed no reaction, as he had already fainted. While he initially held onto the Mecha actively, in the latter part of the journey, he was carried by the Mecha in its palm.
But in the next moment, Xu Lingjun surprisingly wasn’t injured as Liu Dong expected; instead, his face showed a sudden exhilaration, and he roared, "Excalibur!!!"
With Han Yun City’s support, the Sword of Oath and Victory burst with even greater power than before. Xu Lingjun had once cooperated like this with Li Jingjun and Gu Xi, but compared to that three-way collaboration, the synergy now doubled their power...
The power released by the Sword of Oath and Victory was immense, carrying boundless sharpness. Even if these Shilin Race members seemed to wear a layer of Stone Armor on their bodies, they were as weak as ants against the Sword of Oath and Victory, disappearing with a sweep.
Under Xiaoya’s control, the Assault Freedom Mecha unleashed endless might, with six units of the Floating Dragon Cavalry System erupting simultaneously behind them, transforming into six deadly blades, encircling the group, along with attacks from the Phase Beam Cannon and Electromagnetic Cannon.
Combining with the Sword of Oath and Victory, they directly carved out a path.
"Go!"
Xu Lingjun shouted, and everyone hurriedly followed the opening to dash toward the distance.
"Don’t let them escape!"
The sheer number of Shilin Race members was overwhelming, and even though Xu Lingjun, Han Yun City, and the others had already risen high using Battle Armor and Mecha, they were still heavily suppressed by intense artillery fire.
The surviving Shilin Race members were agile, managing to keep up even as they flew through the sky, and their numbers only seemed to grow...
The strength of these Shilin Race members was exceptionally strong.
Even as the Mecha flew in the sky, when they leapt, they reached hundreds of meters high. In no time, dozens of Shilin Race members had climbed onto the feet of the Strong Assault.
Slowly climbing upwards.
They couldn’t let them reach the top.
Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City rushed forward with mutual understanding... The strength of the Shilin Race was unknown, after all, they had been relying on artillery to keep clearing the ranks.
Compared to their strength, what was even more troubling was their infectious capability.
A simple touch would infect with Shilin Disease, and once infected, one would gradually be assimilated into the Shilin Race. The toxins secreted by the phosphor would then erode their essence, retaining past memories and abilities, but with a mind turned cruel and bloodthirsty.
This was another meaning of the zombie, equally terrifying.
Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City charged forward.
One held a sword, the other a spear, like two gusts of whirlwind through the Shilin Race; where they passed, stones and remains were flying.
With their prowess, even without physical contact, defeating enemies was effortless... Especially since these weren’t the elite Shilin Race members, running into these two killing stars led to instant death upon contact.
But soon...
A stealthy attacker came from behind.
Xu Lingjun twisted his body, raising an Invisible Sword Blade, then reversed it, slashing the assailant in two, and as his form drifted two meters away on the wind, evading the scattering stone fragments... If physical contact led to infection, then these fragments were not to be touched.
Even with the protection of Vibranium Armor and Nanometer Armor, Xu Lingjun remained cautious...
Yet despite successfully dispatching the enemy with a single strike, his face showed a peculiar expression.
Though these Shilin Race members were indeed Shilin Race, they fought using exquisite Martial Skills similar to humans. Another warrior might struggle to handle this.
But for some reason, Xu Lingjun felt an extremely strange sense of discord.
The moves these Shilin Race members used... seemed so familiar...
It felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.
