At Noon, the Execution Begins

"Clear, advance!"

Di Zheng spoke without the slightest hesitation. At the same time, the Dragon Head Azure Gold Spear of ' Mystic Wing ' was raised, and suddenly a stream of flames shot out from the tip of the spear.

The fiery currents swept back and forth, igniting countless black mutated plants. These things writhed wildly in the flames, their flowers, like gaping maws, biting at the air, their tendrils licking outwards, instinctively attacking an impossible enemy.

Previously, in the Forbidden Land, the tip of the ' Mystic Wing ' could not spew Fire Stream. It seems that after returning to the base, the engineering department urgently installed a flamethrower to deal with the special characteristics of the Forbidden Land.

Other mechs also joined the battle.

The judge formed hand seals, releasing giant Blazing Flame Python that swam into the flowerbeds, growing stronger and splitting within the flames. This caused even more fiery pythons to spread, intensifying the fire in the open space.

Luo Yan did not make a move; he had neither equipment that could spew flames nor any fire-related Mystic Art.

They simply raised their shields to be on guard, in case the owner of the Forbidden Land suddenly appeared.

At this moment, a shrill scream rang out from the sea of fire. Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then rings of firelight appeared in his crimson eyes. With the activation of ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes ', Luo Yan saw that a creature with gray light appeared under the 'flower bushes' in the sea of fire.

Those gray lights weren't as large as the behemoths, but they were much larger than the Giant Beast parasite, and it was unclear what they were.

Just then, a fireball leaped out from the mutated plants and ran around wildly; it turned out to be a small beast.

It is about the same size as a water buffalo, but looks like a cat. It has only one eye on its head and looks very much like the Lord of the Forbidden Land, 'Huan', except that it only has a tail behind its rear end.

"Is this the cub of the owner of that Forbidden Land?"

Kang Shun's voice came through the communication channel.

Team leader Yan Wenbo also said, "Look down there."

"Embroidered Tiger" pointed to the spot where the little beast had jumped out. There were several fleshy cocoons hidden underneath. The cocoons were now on fire, and the walls of the cocoons had been burned through, from which a pale yellow liquid was gushing out.

One by one, giant beast cubs crawled out. They were the size of water buffalo, with one eye and one tail, and they howled incessantly as soon as they came out.

This turned out to be the 'Huan's' 'nursery,' where it hid its young beneath a pile of mutated plants.

The mutated plants serve as both camouflage and a 'weapon' to protect these offspring.

In addition, those fleshy cocoons also had umbilical cord-like organs that passed through the mutated plants and wrapped around the roots of that Abyssal Vein.

The ends of the organs unfolded and adhered to the Abyssal Vein, wriggling from time to time. Then, a ball of Netherlight detached from the Abyssal Vein and was transported along the ribbon-like organs to the fleshy cocoon.

"The Huan uses the Abyssal Vein to nurture its young."

Di Zheng's voice was grave. "We can't let these things grow. Kill them!"

Immediately, Lonely Changxin's ' Flying Lightning ' rushed over, his spear ' Dragon Gall ' swung in a large arc, striking the ground and smashing a young beast that was dodging the flames into a bloody mess.

The ornately painted ' Embroidered Tiger ' also rushed into the fire, its claws, formed from Primal Energy, drew out threads in the air, slicing the two cubs into pieces!

The remaining cubs, sensing the threat of death, let out a series of mournful screams before their eyes had even opened.

The sound carried far across the Forbidden Land area.

Halfway through their calls, bullets came whizzing by, sweeping across their bodies.

The still-growing cubs were unable to reach the bullets the mechs used to fight the giant beasts; they were immediately blasted into mincemeat by the ' White Dragon's' machine guns.

Only one remains.

Just as ' Embroidered Tiger ' was about to make a move, a roar suddenly came from afar, followed by a gale and thick fog. The world suddenly became chaotic, and even the flames were dimmed and almost extinguished.

Luo Yan turned around sharply, and under the vision of ' Unbounded Blazing Eyes ', he saw a ball of gray biological light moving nimbly among the huge skeletons, arriving nearby in a short time.

The gray light resembled a large cat with four tails raised, and then let out a terrifying howl.

Visible ripples spread out, and the areas touched by these ripples first distorted, then inexplicably exploded.

While inside the mecha, Luo Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his entire head was about to explode.

In his shock, the Dragon Scales scales on his body stood up, then calmed down, covering his entire body, including his face.

After the 'dragon transformation', the terrifying sonic boom that caused headaches subsided considerably.

The others did not have the 'dragon transformation' form and could only endure it.

Di Zheng was probably the most relaxed. The Primal Energy of the ' Mystic Wing ' mecha surged, and the sound of thunder suddenly rang out. Then, a Dragon Beast vaguely appeared behind the mecha.

This Dragon Beast, with golden horns, blue scales, and lightning crackling in its claws, coiled around the ' Mystic Wing '. The mecha then suddenly turned around, its Dragon Head Azure Gold Spear pointing at the dark figure in the fog, spewing out a stream of flames.

The intense flames pierced through the mist, revealing a large cat in everyone's sight. This cat had one eye and four tails, and a brown stripe ran vertically in its golden pupil, flowing with malice and resentment, clearly indicating that it was extremely annoyed.

Without making a move, a sudden gust of wind surged around it, and several tornadoes rose from the ground, scattering the flowing fire, and then crashing into ' Mystic Wing ' one after another.

' Mystic Wing ' immediately raised its Scale Shield, lowered its center of gravity, and spread its wings, which resembled a steel cloak, to prepare to withstand the impact.

Unexpectedly, when the tornado got close, it dispersed and crashed into other mechs.

Upon colliding, the two mechs, ' Embroidered Tiger ' and 'Judge', were sent flying and crashed into the skeleton of a giant beast in the distance, unable to climb out for a while.

' Flying Lightning ' cleverly thrust its long spear into the ground to stabilize its body. It was only violently shaken by the tornado it did not fly out.

The ' White Dragon ' revealed the shadows of the blue sea and mountains, its meaning solemn. It used its shield to block the tornado, which dissipated upon impact, failing to move the mecha even an inch.

Finally, there was the ' Eight Gates '. The mecha, shaped like a white dog, suddenly raised up illusory walls from its left and right sides, instantly creating a bizarre house with many human legs at the bottom, which withstood the impact of the tornado.

Several mechs were either knocked away or fought back in their own ways.

Just as ' Mystic Wing ', having been tricked, was about to attack, the four-tailed cat leaped backward and disappeared into the thick fog.

Di Zheng snorted and was about to give chase when he suddenly saw through the panoramic window the shadow of a thatched hut that had appeared out of nowhere in the thick fog in the distance.

Moreover, that thatched hut was enormous, large enough to accommodate an entire mech.

Just then, footsteps sounded from the thick fog. Thump, thump, thump, two soft-soled black leather boots emerged from the fog, followed by a belted black robe, a cold and menacing Ghost-head Saber, and a Hong Ying funnel-shaped hat!

He was an executioner!

The executioner, almost the size of a mecha, suddenly pulled something from behind the mist. With a forceful tug, a figure stumbled forward, fell to his knees, and was lifted up by the executioner's hair.

It turned out to be a face that looked exactly like Di Zheng's.

His face was painted white with blush, making him look like a character on a theatrical stage.

Then, the sounds of gongs, drums, and suonas, like those of a makeshift troupe, rose from the fog, and someone shouted.

"It's noon! Guards, begin the execution!"
