Inside Zhurong's cockpit, Luo Yan nodded lightly after hearing Jing Yu's answer. He thought that it was rare for a young man to take advice so readily without any trace of arrogance.
Just then, Luo Yan suddenly sensed something and looked out through the panoramic viewport. A dark mass crushed the trees as it emerged from deep within the mountain forest.
Luo Yan took a careful look and saw that the giant beast's upper body was humanoid and clad in armor. It carried a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

And there was the 'Ming Snake', entirely scarlet-red, with four wings growing from its back...
One Upper-tier Giant Beast after another advanced in groups toward the mecha formation where Luo Yan was stationed.

One careless mistake,
