The Small Missiles were about to fly toward the island in the lake.
Suddenly.
A whirlpool rapidly formed in the Great Lake.
Within the whirlpool, a massive shadow flickered in and out of view.
The next second, several endlessly spinning columns of water rose from the lake.
They were like divine dragons formed from the lake water, swaying as the columns moved.
They intercepted all the Small Missiles.
One fireball after another exploded.
Then the lake surged into huge waves, waves over ten meters high crashing onto the shore.
They formed a raging flow of water.
It surged past the feet of the three mecha, including Blazing Flame.
Then it flowed back into the lake.
In the Great Lake.
A huge black shadow broke through the surface and appeared on the screen.
The thing had a thick shell like a sea turtle, with clumps of seaweed covering its back.
Streams of lake water cascaded from every part of the giant beast's body, like dozens of waterfalls.
The beast had a birdlike head and a venomous-snake-like tail.
It let out a roar at the "uninvited guests" on the lakeshore.
Its cry sounded like wood being chopped.
This was Xuan Gui!
A mid-tier Level 1 giant beast!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas recorded: "On Mount Niuyang, strange waters emerge. There are many Black Tortoises within. They resemble tortoises with bird heads and snake tails. Their name is Xuan Gui. Their cry sounds like wood being split. Wearing one prevents deafness, and it can be used as a base."
"Mid-tier and higher giant beasts possess intelligence, but precisely because of that, they can be exploited."
Wei Fenghua's voice rang out.
It drew the students' attention.
"These intelligent giant beasts all know how important Abyssal Vein is."
"They know that this strange stone can allow them to evolve and even break through their original tier."
"Therefore, whenever Abyssal Vein is in danger, they often appear to protect it."
"We can exploit this point to lure the giant beasts out, then pull them away from their home ground."
"Thus gaining a more favorable battlefield."
While Wei Fenghua explained.
On the screen.
The three mecha led by Blazing Flame had already formed hand seals with rapid movements.
At the same time, they pointed toward Xuan Gui in the lake.
Three black ropes shot out simultaneously.
They wrapped around Xuan Gui's body.
The mecha exerted their strength at the same time, dragging the giant beast in the lake toward the shore.
They could do that?
Luo Yan was astonished.
So Mystic Art could be used this way too.
Moreover.
After being amplified by Mystic Machine.
They were both "Black Ropes."
Yet they were countless times thicker than when Luo Yan used them.
In the blink of an eye.
Xuan Gui was dragged onto the lakeshore.
The three Mystic Machines released their hand seals, raised their rifles, and opened fire.
But the giant beast immediately.
Pulled its head, limbs, and tail.
All into its shell.
Sparks outlined by the bullets struck the thick shell like a sudden downpour.
Countless sparks flew from the impacts.
But aside from blasting away the seaweed on its shell, they could not even leave a crack on Xuan Gui's thick shell.
The three mecha soon emptied their magazines.
Xuan Gui took the opportunity to extend its head and limbs, then began clawing at the ground with all four paws.
The ground did not seem to change much, yet it appeared almost illusory.
Xuan Gui's body sank into the ground just like that.
This was its Earth Dive ability!
Blazing Flame immediately made a hand signal.
The three mecha gathered together.
They stood back-to-back, their gun muzzles aimed at the ground.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The rifles, now loaded with fresh magazines, fired again.
Beams of fire shot into the earth, blasting dirt and rocks into the air.
Suddenly, Xuan Gui rose from the ground some distance away and opened its mouth, spraying out a column of dark green smoke.
This was Poisonous Fog!
The three mecha had already spread out in anticipation.
Then they unleashed their full firepower.
Rifles, missiles, and the armor on Blazing Flame's back opened as well, with a section of gun barrel rising from within the machine.
It was mounted on the right shoulder.
It was a large-caliber cannon specially designed for giant beasts!
Xuan Gui's figure could no longer be seen on the screen.
Under the concentrated fire of the three mecha, flames soared and mud and stones flew everywhere.
The camera shook nonstop.
It was impossible to see a clear image.
Outside the student camp.
Inside the black mecha with extraordinarily long arms, He Hao watched the battle on the screen.
His eyes flickered.
His fists tightened slightly.
He seemed eager to show his prowess on the battlefield.
Just then, the sensor let out a beep.
At first, He Hao paid it no attention.
Soon, the sensor beeped again.
Only then did He Hao look over.
His expression immediately changed.
The sensor had detected a blue Spectrum Signal.
This was the reaction of a Lower-tier Giant Beast.
He Hao immediately grabbed the communicator and said, "Attention. Seven o'clock from the camp."
"A blue Spectrum Signal has appeared."
"Matching it against the database..."
"It is a Lili."
As soon as he finished speaking.
His deputy, Su Jiu, also spoke up.
"A Si-beast has appeared at twelve o'clock."
"Wait, there's one at two o'clock as well."
Reports of giant beasts appeared one after another.
On the detection radar.
He Hao saw six Lower-tier Giant Beasts approaching the camp from all directions.
At once.
The camp's alarm rang out.
"Everyone, pay attention."
"Six Lower-tier Giant Beasts are attacking the camp."
He Hao's voice rang across the camp.
"We'll try to intercept them. Teacher Wei, please evacuate immediately."
The sudden alarm.
Threw the students into chaos.
Zeng Shan shouted, "How can there be six giant beasts? Didn't they say this was an outlying area and a Safe Zone?"
Luo Yan was speechless.
At that moment, Wei Fenghua shouted, "Divide and scatter!"
"If we stay together, we'll be too obvious a target."
"The giant beasts will lock onto us."
"Follow the previous groups. Each group will drive one SUV away."
"Gather at the canyon entrance."
"Move now."
After hearing that, Luo Yan immediately rushed out.
Zeng Shan hurried after him.
The two of them charged toward the nearest SUV.
But someone else had the same idea.
Luo Beichen.
He had also noticed Luo Yan and Zeng Shan.
He glared at Luo Yan.
Instead of stopping, he accelerated.
Luo Yan did the same.
The two soon met.
Luo Beichen let out a shout and kicked upward.
His toe jabbed toward Luo Yan's head.
Luo Yan raised his arm and knocked it aside.
At the same time, he punched with his right fist.
Primal Energy surged as his heavy punch smashed forward.
Luo Beichen raised his hand to block.
But he was still blasted back several steps by Luo Yan.
Zeng Shan had already taken the opportunity to leap into the driver's seat.
He started the vehicle, whipped the steering wheel around, and rammed it toward Luo Beichen.
Luo Beichen hurriedly rolled away several times.
Luo Yan did not bother entangling himself with him either.
He jumped into the SUV.
Zeng Shan turned the vehicle around and headed for the camp exit.
Luo Beichen snorted, then jumped onto an SUV passing nearby.
He paid no attention to whether the group inside was willing or not.
He simply dropped himself into a seat.
As soon as they left the camp.
Luo Yan heard a roar.
He raised his head.
The trees in the forest ahead were smashed down.
A Lili charged straight toward them.
Just then.
The light above Luo Yan's head suddenly dimmed.
He raised his head.
He saw a mecha stride over their SUV.
From below, it looked like.
The mottled scratches on the vehicle's outer armor, the flashing signal lights,
and the gas venting from between its components were all visible.
Boom.
Black Thunder brought one foot crashing down onto the ground nearby.
As the stomped ground caved in, the SUV carrying Luo Yan leaped into the air.
Then Black Thunder charged at the giant beast, its two massive arms wrapping around Lili's boar-like head.
It wrenched it down violently.
Bang!
The giant beast toppled onto its side, while the SUV carrying Luo Yan and the other person sped past its wildly flailing four legs.
