Bang!

A tremendous roar echoed through the base. People scrambled across the ground, only to be swept up by a sudden gust of air from behind, followed by a billowing cloud of smoke that engulfed them.

When they hit the ground and looked up, debris from buildings, vehicles, and other objects of all Xiao Xiao rained down on them like a storm.

People turned pale and scrambled to their feet to escape.

A soldier, wishing he had two more legs, ran with his gun in hand, when suddenly a car crashed down in front of him, crushing several people running ahead of him to death.

He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. He saw people passing by him, and the soldier reached out and shouted, trying to get someone to help him up, but no one stopped.

Suddenly, darkness fell overhead. The soldier looked up and saw a giant steel foot passing over his head.

He could see the complex metal structure beneath the foot, the pipes spewing hot air, and the wheel-sized bolts.

The foot landed heavily in front of him, crushing the car that had just fallen from the sky and the people fleeing for their lives.

A terrifying gust of air rushed towards them, and the soldier was too frightened to look. He lay on the ground, his hands covering his head, praying to all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.

With his eyes closed, he heard screams, roars of beasts, and explosions.

The various sounds made him mistakenly believe he had arrived in hell.

Suddenly, a violent tremor struck, and the soldier was thrown into the air. After a moment of being lifted into the air, he landed in the soft green belt.

He mustered his courage and opened his eyes, only to see a dark shadow fall before him—it was the head of a giant beast.

The behemoth, resembling an ape, stared at the soldier with its golden eyes. Suddenly, a battle axe crackling with lightning cleaved down, splitting the behemoth's head in two.

The soldier looked up and saw a burly, heavy mech standing behind him. The mech pulled out its battle axe, and a fountain of blood gushed from the giant beast's head. The blood quickly spread across the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was next to the green belt.

The soldier quickly got up and suddenly heard a clear cry. Then he saw a Giant Bird descend from the sky, with a single horn on its head.

The horn suddenly glowed crimson, followed by a cone-shaped beam of light that pierced the air and struck the mech's chest.

The mech's shoulders immediately rose, and the next second, a series of Small Missile were launched, hitting the Great Eagle in the sky. The constantly blooming fireballs engulfed the Giant Bird's figure.

The soldier clutched his helmet and ran towards the back of the mech. He hadn't gone far when he heard a roar overhead. He didn't dare look up. Suddenly, darkness fell over him, followed by a blast of scorching air that sent him flying.

The soldier tumbled through the air currents, and when he crashed back to the ground, he saw a strange bird with two heads and four legs engulfed in Blazing Flame crashing into the mech and exploding in Blazing Flame.

The soldier was unable to move; he was trembling all over, and his crotch was gradually becoming soaked.

Inside the cockpit of the mecha 'Butcher,' Liu Xiao, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, now looked resentful.

"Upper-tier Giant Beast are intelligent. This thing isn't running away but chasing after me. Does it think I'm easy to handle?"

With a gloomy face, Liu Xiao controlled his mecha to run and counterattack when he suddenly heard a roar in the sky.

He looked up at the sky, where a mech was shooting out streaks of Blue Flames from its back, creating a powerful propulsion as it swept across the base.

Liu Xiao's pupils dilated slightly, and he instantly understood that they were going to intercept the mechs of the Base Vehicle!

We can't let this go!

Liu Xiao acted decisively, locking onto the mech in mid-air and hurling the battle axe 'Slaughter'.

Inside the cockpit of the ' White Dragon ', Luo Yan suddenly saw a ruggedly designed mech on the ground throwing a battle axe at him through the panoramic window.

He quickly made ' White Dragon ' turn its body sharply, but it was still hit by the opponent's battle axe. Fortunately, it was not the mech itself that was hit, but the mortar.

The Hyperion mortar barrel was instantly split in two; one piece remained attached to the mech, while the other fell and crashed into the base.

Luo Yan did not stop for the mech on the ground; the ' White Dragon ' swept across the sky above the base.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy escaping the base could be seen in the distance through the panoramic view.

The ' White Dragon ' roared away, and the convoy spotted its pursuer. The two ' Chou Ghost ' half-mechs continued forward while their upper bodies turned to the rear, mounted anti-aircraft cannons, and fired continuously.

Luo Yan ordered the mech to raise its heavy shields to protect the fuselage before diving down.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the ground, the jets were deactivated, and ' White Dragon ' landed on the ground, gliding forward in a crouching posture, scooping up mud and rocks, and tearing a trench in the earth.

As it glided toward the convoy, the longsword 'Flying Cloud' swept out, smashing one of the ' Chou Ghost ' vehicles to Bone Shatter.

When it stopped, it threw its longsword, smashing another ' Chou Ghost '.

Then ' White Dragon ' charged forward, drew its longsword from the ground, and arrived at the front of the convoy, plunging it straight into the ground. The driver of the supply truck at the very front saw the mech's longsword fall like a mountain, and in fright, he immediately braked, opened the door, and jumped out to escape.

The situation was similar for the other vehicles; even the base soldiers in the convoy lacked the courage to fight the mechs.

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the convoy had vanished.

Luo Yan removed his helmet, disconnecting his neural connections, but still maintained empathy with the mecha.

He took the ' Star Splitter ', went to the ground, and walked to the front of the supply truck.

As he walked, Luo Yan did not forget to scan with his ' Eye of True Suchness ' and discovered a human-shaped gray light in the truck bed.

A colorful information line appeared above the gray light.

Interpretation.

Lian Wushan, 42 years old, bodyguard.

' Divine Treasure: Nanli Fire (Nature)'

'Technique: Dutian Gong.'

'Realm Level: Primary Level Great Perfection '

Combat Skill: 1. Poke Staff; 2. Chop Staff; 3. Standing Circle Dance Flower.

After reading this information, Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Lian Wushan, Huang Yuanhang's bodyguard..."

Without stopping, Luo Yan arrived at the carriage door, drew his ' Star Splitter Slash' and slashed, opening the door.

As soon as the cargo compartment was opened, gunshots rang out, and bullets stopped right in front of Luo Yan.

He had already formed a hand seal and released the 'Empty Wall' when he opened the door, precisely to guard against this move.

Looking around calmly, one can see that the carriage is filled with shelves, on which are placed boxes of Xiao Xiao.

Right in the middle of the passage, Lian Wushan threw away his empty pistol and grabbed a platinum long stick.

One man can hold the pass.

Luo Yan glanced at him indifferently. "Put down your weapons and surrender."

"Fart!"

Lian Wushan sneered, "When I was twenty, I messed with a village bully and got sentenced to ten years. After I got out, nobody wanted to hire me."

"I'm so poor I can barely make ends meet; I don't even have money to treat my mother when she's sick."

"In the end, Mister Huang gave me a bite to eat. From that day on, I decided that anyone who touches Mister Huang, I'll kill them!"

"Oh." Luo Yan got into the carriage, closed the door, and walked forward with his sword in hand.
