He passed through the rift and circled around the Abyssal Vein.
When the Abyssal Vein mountain where Wu Zhiqi had been was far behind and out of sight, Luo Yan saw it.
A giant beast that had never been recorded in the archives.
It resembled an ape, covered in brown fur, but a red human face had grown on its head.
The face looked extremely similar to that of a middle-aged man. Its nose was enormous, like a flesh-colored tumor.
But what was even stranger was this thing's tail.
Its tail was actually a python, except the snake had no flesh, scales, or skin—only white bones.
The snake-tailed, human-faced ape was perched on a large boulder, its thick, powerful arms gripping the ground tightly.
Its skeletal snake tail rose into the air, the snake's head facing into the distance. From time to time, a swift gray beam shot from its mouth.
The gray beam crossed an incredibly long distance in the blink of an eye, firing at the mecha squad as it descended toward the rift's floor.
Whenever the human-faced ape took a shot, its entire body shuddered violently. It even slid back slightly, using the motion to absorb the recoil produced by the snake-tail's sniper fire.
Seeing that the Giant Beast Radar could not match any data to this giant beast, Luo Yan did not panic. He opened all the torpedo launch bays, locked onto the giant beast, and fired every torpedo carried by the machine.
At that moment, the human-faced ape was adjusting its trajectory. Its eyes could see images over extremely long distances in the darkness, and it could zoom in or out at will.
That was how it had been able to snipe the Mecha Squad by surprise from beyond the Giant Beast Radar's detection range.
