Iron Chickens Fight the Centipede

Two terrifying black tides collided, one wave higher than the other, creating a deafening roar like a Category 6 storm.

With the support of the beast tide, Gao Gong's radiation field underwent a complete transformation, turning into the black color only found in B-level radiation beasts. At this moment, he was battling with the centipede general in a battle of domains.

In battles between Class B radioactive beasts, whoever's domain can overpower the other's will gain the upper hand.

Effect 3:?

Most radioactive beasts, once they reach Rank B, will develop their own races and followers. General Centipede is one of the few lone wolf-type Rank B mechanical beasts, and the reason it goes it alone is quite simple.

One person is an army of a thousand!

The senior engineer came all this way not to fight it one-on-one. In fact, using his henchmen is the fighting mode of most B-level beasts.

Soon, these frontline mechanical hunters experienced firsthand the terror of B-rank monsters.

The intense gunfire erupted almost instantly upon the start of the engagement, and in terms of firepower alone, the mechanical hunters were completely overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads.

It was as if they were facing not a wild beast, but a massive army.

Amidst the hail of bullets, Sun Tu set up a paratrooper-type heavy machine gun. Two gun mounts immediately popped out from under the machine gun, and the intelligent module lit up. He then opened fire wildly through the gaps in the trees. He had enhanced the weapon system. Since installing the "automatic calibration" intelligent plugin, his firepower accuracy had increased significantly.

However, in just twenty seconds, this heavy metal fanatic, whose modifications were no less extensive than those of the Black God, staggered, fell to the ground, and rolled into a large crater. His heavy armor components were now riddled with at least thirty bullet holes.

Not far from him, an even more powerful explosion rang out, and a grenade fell from the sky, exploding into terrifying flames.

A hapless fellow scrambled out of the aftershocks of the flames, cursing loudly.

"Xiao Leng, where's your smoke grenade?!"

The next moment, more than a dozen radiation shielding missiles were thrown from all directions, and soon, a thick white fog covered an area of several miles.

Almost simultaneously, the centipede opened its mouth, spewing out thick poisonous smoke. The white mist, which could even block radiation, was directly dispersed by this poisonous smoke.

"Be careful, it's a biological toxin!"

Two mechanical hunters surrounded the centipede general from the left and right.

The plasma horse's speed even surpasses that of most automobiles, and as its energy channels light up, its speed seems to increase even further.

The next moment, Ap swung his arm violently, and an explosion rang out. From the modified 3D Maneuver Gear, a lasso made of monomolecular rope shot out a thousand meters like lightning and grabbed one of the giant centipede's mechanical legs.

Meanwhile, the hunter, also from the horse farm, waved his hands, his two arms shooting out and transforming in mid-air into two animal traps that clamped onto the centipede's two forelimbs. At the same time, with wireless remote control, three monomolecular ropes burst out from the mechanical traps and were tied to three large trees.

The two mechanical hunters, who controlled the flow of energy, worked together to finally subdue the monster, which was over a thousand meters long.

The centipede's body resembles a straight running track.

"Well done!"

A gun-wielding mechanical hunter whistled.

This mechanical hunter was dressed like a pilot, wearing a helmet and camouflage clothing, with a heavy mechanical box on his back. As he spoke, the box opened, revealing a 4x4 cannon launcher. As he pressed the button in his hand, the sounds of "whoosh" rang out one after another.

Then came flames and explosions that could cover an entire city block.

Interestingly, each Oasis Hunter has a different style. For example, the Auto City Hunters emphasize teamwork, the New Port City Hunters focus on heavy mechanical modifications, the Horse Ranch Hunters are better at controlling the flow of movement, and the Entertainment City Hunters are less suitable for children.

Almost at the same time, Sun Tu once again set up the heavy machine gun, with spent cartridges constantly falling and the six muzzles spitting out flames.

Meanwhile, the melee hunters who had been suppressed and unable to raise their heads, Saber Tamir, Bone, Coldblood, and Creeper, appeared simultaneously in front of Centipede General.

Tamil closed his eyes, entering a state similar to "still water and clear mind". The next moment, two blood blades slashed through the gaps in the centipede armor. At least half of the dozen or so cuts caused bleeding and tearing damage.

Although his swordsmanship is known as "beast-mimicking swordsmanship," in this state, it is like a master butcher carving up an ox, his skill approaching the Dao. This guy's swordsmanship has clearly reached the edge of "expert".

The other hunters all have similar trump cards, which are generally more powerful than ordinary firearms and weapons. They are standard "mechanical hunting modifications" with attribute bonuses.

With the high-level engineer suppressing the opponent's radiation field, a dozen hunters managed to reduce the centipede's health by 10,000 points in just one minute.

However, if Class B radioactive beasts were so easy to kill, there wouldn't have been no news of them being hunted for several years before the rise of high-level engineers.

This isn't just in the Auto City; it's across fifteen oases in the central desert, and all the mechanical hunters are like this.

General Centipede began its counterattack. Accompanied by a series of loud hissing sounds, all the nozzles of its mechanical legs spewed out a white mist. In an instant, thousands of white mists shot out simultaneously, blurring the air and causing the surrounding temperature to rise visibly.

A sense of crisis surged through Tamil's heart, and almost without thinking, he rolled to the ground. The next moment, a dark shadow swept past his spot like lightning.

The wriggler next to it wasn't so lucky. The shadow flashed by, and the next moment, the crawler that the wriggler had transformed into was nailed to the tree alive, with a mechanical centipede leg stuck in its chest.

At the same time, Ap cleverly hid in the stirrup, dodging the centipede's shot.

The other control-style hunter's pupils contracted as the mechanical foot appeared before him like a sharp arrow, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, at that moment, a blue projectile appeared, struck the mechanical leg, and sent it flying.

Before the clip could even express its gratitude, someone shouted.

"Damn, someone's been caught!"

As the high-temperature white fog spread, the leaves on the ground visibly dried out, something ordinary fog cannot do.

Within the mist, a huge black shadow crawled upwards along the tree trunk, and a person appeared to be wrapped around the centipede's head.

Sun Tu, who was closest to the scene, was the first to react. After all, they had been drinking buddies for so many days, and there was no way he would stand by and watch someone die.

Sun Tu's arm quickly transformed back into a giant mechanical arm. He was much smarter than Black God, who wished he could be covered in weapons, even having a machine gun mounted between his legs.

Except for his arms, Sun Tu's entire body is an exoskeleton, which greatly reduces mechanical rejection.

Besides being able to transform into a machine gun, his arm also has another skill: "Jet Hammer".

With a powerful gust of air shooting out from the several nozzles on his elbow, Sun Tu roared and his iron fist, capable of shattering a wall, viciously smashed into the opponent's tail.

However, the next moment, the fog suddenly lifted, and an iron ball appeared out of nowhere. The surface of the iron ball was covered with dense armor. When the fist collided with the ball, the first one to be knocked away was actually Sun Tu, who weighed 500 pounds.

The metal fingers visibly deformed in mid-air before several were flung away.

Iron Wall Centipede Lv3 (Elite): This centipede carries its eggs, neither eating nor moving. It uses its external armor to create an impenetrable iron wall that can withstand rocket attacks.

As the fog gradually dissipated, the true form of the Centipede General was revealed. The one entangled by the centipede's head was none other than Kimimaro.

Kimimaro's surname is not Kimi, and White Bones is just his nickname. In stark contrast to his chilling methods, he is known for his good temper.

As for this skeleton, it was a result of an accidental mutation.

At this moment, General Centipede accelerated its coiling motion like a giant python, clearly intending to kill one of them first. Meanwhile, the skeleton's face turned bright red from the pressure, and its biological exoskeleton creaked and cracked more and more.

"Grass!"

"Hang in there, Wen!"

"Don't breathe! Its biological toxins have a paralyzing effect!"

The crowd rushed forward again, but once again something unexpected happened.

With a loud metallic twisting sound, the thousand-meter-long mechanical centipede split in two, becoming two five-hundred-meter-long mechanical centipedes.

One centipede charged toward the group, while another sped up its coiling motion. The mechanical centipede's legs stabbed wildly like daggers, quickly creating more than a dozen bloody holes in Wen Jun's body.

"So it really has reached its limit."

Under normal circumstances, even if this group of frontline hunters managed to kill this B-level centipede, their side would suffer heavy casualties.

If you want to form a group to hunt monsters, you'll probably have to wait until all these hunters install the 'Mechanical Module' and break through the hunter class level cap of 20. That should be about right.

The senior engineer decided not to stand idly by any longer and instantly appeared next to the 'centipede ball'.

This centipede general was even more intelligent than a human, and it had been guarding against the high-ranking engineer's surprise attack for a long time. Its two antennae on its head lit up at the same time.

An invisible electronic shock swept across an area of several miles.

The next moment, the engineer's prosthetic eye, four miniature motors, and mechanical heart simultaneously stopped working.

This guy's electronic attack actually penetrated the "desert skin" and directly attacked the human's mechanical body.

Fortunately, the senior engineer was prepared. With his four wings flapping and his palms not stopping for a moment, he slammed them down hard on the centipede ball.

Double-armed Dragon Subduing!

A violent surge of air rushed into the centipede ball through the gap, inflating the ball that was about to close. At the same time, the 'Spine Demon Spear' pierced into it with lightning speed. The vertebrae rubbed against the centipede's bio-armor, generating a series of sparks. Just as the airflow reached its limit, it was pulled sharply, ripping 'Kimimaro' out of the ball.

At the same time, taking advantage of the momentum, he kicked out a powerful blast of air from the numerous pores on his thigh, knocking the mechanical behemoth to the ground.

"Thank you for saving my life, boss," Kimimaro said, bowing his head in gratitude after landing safely.

"No problem."

Kimimaro looked somewhat ashamed, as if it was because even with so many people working together, they still couldn't defeat the B-class radiation beast, and in the end, the boss had to personally take action.

"No need to apologize," the foreman replied without answering. "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to capture enough pheromones, let alone complete the targeted transformation."

"You guys played the first half, now it's my turn to play the second half."

Kimimaro was taken aback. He looked up and found that the senior engineer's figure had become even larger. His original height of two meters had increased to two and a half meters, and his limbs had become much thicker.

The next moment, amidst the raging air currents, the senior engineer's figure surged forward.

General Centipede seemed to instinctively sense danger, and hundreds of guns and weapons were fired at the senior engineer.

Blood armor rapidly covered his entire body, while his four blood wings closed, blocking most of his vital organs. Ordinary bullets struck them, producing a crackling metallic clanging sound.

The next moment, the senior engineer appeared beside the centipede general, his blood wings unfurled, and the pores on his pillar-like limbs bulged continuously, drawing in a violent stream of air that momentarily paralyzed the giant centipede.

A four-limbed mad dragon!!

As the senior engineer slammed his limbs into the ground, a visible shockwave erupted from the ground, causing even the centipede general's enormous body to flip over.

Dragon Subduing: The jet engines of all 34 vertebrae operate simultaneously, creating a powerful air blast that knocks back enemies in a 3x3 area and stuns them.

The current physical configuration of the senior engineer has clearly enhanced the effect of "Dragon Subduing". The enhanced jet ports allow the airflow generated by the spine to extend along the limbs into the ground, directly doubling both the range and the shock force.

At least ten centipede bodies flipped open in mid-air, revealing their smooth, unarmored abdomens.

The next moment, a murderous glint flashed in the senior engineer's eyes, and his figure instantly appeared in mid-air. Four blood-red blades emerged from his wings, while his hands deformed, with claws and barbs constantly emerging. Six 'biological weapons' were generated, and the next moment, a violent wave of blades stirred up a blood wave from the more than ten segments of the centipede's body.

Large amounts of blood, biological fluids, organs, and flesh spilled out.

When the senior engineer landed, not only was his killing power fully stacked, but he also took away nearly 6,000 points of the opponent's health.

Without pausing, the senior engineer lunged at the other part of the opponent's body. General Centipede unleashed its full firepower, but the senior engineer neither dodged nor evaded, at most covering his vitals. Anyway, he could replenish his strength by sucking blood, so what was there to be afraid of?

Just before General Centipede was about to curl up into a 'centipede ball', the senior engineer suddenly widened his eyes.

Even if I only have one eye, I can still glare you to death!

Killing Intent Thoughts: An advanced application of the killing intent realm, interfering with the enemy's pineal gland and inducing a death illusion.

The murderous intent wasn't very effective against boss-level monsters. The figure only paused slightly, but there's a difference between a 'pause' and a 'freeze'. At least the next critical hit, which was guaranteed to be delivered, couldn't be delivered.

Even if it was just one meal, it bought the senior engineer enough time.

The "Four-Limbed Mad Dragon" technique was used again, with the same moves, the same fighting style, and the same burst of 5,000 health.

The opponent is not a Saint Seiya, so the same move against this giant creature is almost equivalent to attacking its weak point.

Talent 'Species Butcher': Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. You can perform targeted transformations to exploit the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of each species. Upon transformation, critical hit rate +100%~200%, combo rate +50%~100%, and critical hit chance +30%~50%.

The damage a senior engineer can inflict in less than ten seconds is equivalent to half a day's hard work by his henchmen.

"The pheromone collection is almost complete."

As the senior engineer looked at the progress bar on the panel, which was close to 100%, a kind of primal impulse was born.

The same feeling arose in General Centipede.

This is a fear at the genetic level.

What are the natural enemies of centipedes?

In a daze, General Centipede seemed to see a bird-like creature the size of a small mountain flapping its wings, with a giant mechanical claw descending from the sky.

Talent 'Gene Slayer': Remotely captures the pheromones emitted by the opponent, and can also obtain blood, cortex, and muscle fibers for 'Gene Killer Simulation'. Once the analysis is complete, the next attack has a +40% lethality rate. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

[You have killed the Centipede General. Experience +40,000, Regional Reputation +800, Skill Point +1, Specialization Point +1]
