On the other side of the restricted area, Han Xiao arrived at his destination. The air was filled with a foul stench, carrying a slight toxicity, and the plants on the ground were all growing abnormally.
"The area is quite large; I don't know the location of the Beast King boss."
Han Xiao put down the metal box in his hand, opened it, and quickly put on the Viper Modified Mech. He observed the outside world through the holographic screen, which was normally the same as his normal field of vision, and could be zoomed in and out at any time. Moreover, the screen displayed data summarized by various scanning modules, giving him a more detailed understanding of his surroundings. There was also a radar monitoring in the upper left corner of the screen. The small radar could detect life signals within a one-kilometer radius, and with enhanced power, it could reach a three-kilometer radius.
The scanning and analysis module can analyze minute traces on the ground to determine what organisms passed by a certain period of time. It can also analyze and record unknown phenomena and input them into a database, offering a wide range of functions.
The filtration system freshened the foul-smelling air, and Han Xiao could hear his own breathing. The mecha's temperature control system made him feel comfortable and not stuffy at all.
He carried firearms and some grenades, all fixed to the mech's rails, and being fully armed did not hinder his movements.
Han Xiao stretched his arms and legs, familiarized himself with the controls of the mecha, and then leaped forward nearly ten meters in one step, venturing deep into the restricted area.
He's currently in standby mode; the Bonfire Reactor restores more energy than it consumes, keeping it at full energy level.
Radar monitoring is always on. Any living target with a strong signal could be a Beast King. Since the Beast King that spawns is not fixed each time, Han Xiao is not sure what kind of target it is.
After running for five minutes, more than a dozen life signals appeared. Han Xiao used commands to adjust the zoom of his field of vision, and his eye scan magnified like a Sniping scope. The current control mode has no Neural Link and requires voice control of various functions. The smart chip can analyze such simple commands, and Han Xiao has also set up voice recognition, which can only recognize his voice as a command, and others cannot use it.
A few hundred meters away, a dozen or so giraffe-like beasts were resting. Their menacing bony spurs showed that they were anything but docile. Several of the largest giraffes raised their necks and looked in his direction, as if they had spotted him.
"Stealth mode."
The optical camouflage is activated, and the mech's surface changes to the color of the surrounding environment, like a chameleon. At a glance, nothing unusual can be detected, and the gaps in the mech are sealed, so no odor can be leaked out.
The giraffes in the picture shook their heads, but not finding him, they lay back down.
A sufficiently advanced enemy could see through concealment; these beasts were far from being able to. Han Xiao continued forward, constantly searching for targets.
Two hours passed, and he scanned dozens of mutated plants and animals, entering them into the database. He also fought several wild beasts with different signal strengths to enrich the data and determine the approximate level of each signal strength.
He encountered the highest-level beasts, which for now were a pack of level 42 wolves and mastiffs, but they were not the targets he was looking for.
As darkness fell, the forbidden zone became even more dangerous, with various beast howls echoing from different directions, sending chills down the spine.
Without the mechs, the night in the restricted area would indeed be very dangerous, but the darkness amplifies Viper Mod's stealth capabilities, blocking out all its scents and sounds, making it as inconspicuous as a stone.
"Still haven't found the target." Han Xiao sat leaning against a huge rock, loading the bright yellow bullets into the magazine. He switched to night vision; the database had already recorded the areas he had traversed. The Beast King was more likely to be entrenched in the center of the restricted area, where the Laopote Ruins were located. The closer he got to the center of the restricted area, the more frequently he would encounter wild beasts.
With a thought, Han Xiao gave the command, and the leg armor on his lower leg suddenly separated, revealing a small space containing some small spider detectors. Han Xiao activated these detectors, causing them to disperse and head towards the central area, where West Capital reflected back into his field of vision.
The spider-like detector shook its head and moved away at a considerable speed. After a while, Han Xiao also saw the situation in the central area through the detector's camera, and saw many ferocious beasts passing by.
Suddenly, the image transmitted by Unit-01 Spider began to shake slightly, and loud collisions could be heard in the distance. He saw the wild beasts gathering in one direction.
Unit-01 Spider climbs onto the back of a long-haired pig and follows it. The scene shows two superhumans being Pursuit by various wild beasts, desperately fleeing. One of them is a superhuman who can release white shockwaves with his hands. The shockwaves are quite powerful, repelling the approaching beasts time and time again. However, the noise he makes attracts even more beasts, creating a vicious cycle, a desperate measure.
"Are there other people trespassing into the restricted area?" Han Xiao raised an eyebrow. The next moment, he saw a giant white lion, five meters tall and more than ten meters long, appear. Wherever it passed, other wild animals fled in fear. Those that couldn't avoid it were bitten to death by the giant white lion, which crushed a path through the herd.
Han Xiao's eyes lit up; this was most likely the Beast King.
Yang Dian and Nid fled for their lives, panting heavily, their lungs burning. Hundreds of mutated beasts were chasing them, and a gigantic white lion, whose terrifying aura extinguished their will to fight, was hot on their heels.
"It's all your superpowers; your voice attracted wild beasts," Yang Dian said through gritted teeth.
Nid slapped his palm backward, unleashing a white shockwave that repelled the approaching pack of beasts once more. Hearing this, he roared, "Shut up! If you hadn't been so careless, we could have sneaked past that pack of wolves. Enough nonsense, what do we do now?"
As Yang Dian ran, he pulled out his tablet to browse the map and hurriedly said, "We're approaching the center of the restricted area, it's very dangerous, change direction immediately!"
The two hurriedly turned around, but the pack of beasts pursued them relentlessly. The giant white lion was the closest to them, and Nid's shockwave hit it, only stopping it momentarily. It couldn't even make the white lion retreat. Nid was sweating profusely with anxiety, and his strength was gradually being exhausted.
Suddenly, a broken wall appeared in front of them, with a crack in the ground below, just big enough for a person to roll in sideways.
The two were overjoyed.
"Quick, get inside!"
Suddenly, Nid noticed a huge shadow rapidly expanding beneath his feet. He turned around in astonishment to see a white lion leap into the air, its massive claws slamming down. The force of the wind was like a knife scraping his face, making it difficult to even open his eyes. The oppressive feeling almost suffocated Nid.
"You go first!" Yang Dian shouted, shoving Nid aside and throwing a punch at the claw, his arm wreathed in dense blue flames.
He was a martial artist with a strong physique, more resilient Nid, and he was confident he could withstand the attack.
Fists and claws collided with the Tu Shu with a deafening roar.
A series of cracking sounds rang out. Yang Dian's arm was broken, and several of his ribs were also broken by the aftershock. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which flew dozens of meters away like a small stone, plowing a line in the ground. Blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.
Nid hurriedly pulled him into a crevice in the ground, but claws followed, digging into the crack and sending pebbles flying. The two of them almost couldn't escape.
"What terrifying force!" Yang Dian's face twitched in pain. He, a powerful martial artist, had been seriously injured by a single blow. The strength of this lion was astonishing.
Nid was even more horrified. He knew his companion's strength, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow from that white lion.
This time, the odds are against us.
Surrounded by wild beasts, the two had no choice but to eke out a living by clinging to the crack in the ground; to peek out meant certain death.
Unable to squeeze in, the wild beast clawed at the cracks in the ground, trying to dig a bigger hole, the repeated thuds sending chills down the spines of the two men.
Yang Dian took out bandages and ointment to bandage his wounds. He knew he was likely to fight to the death, so he could only endure the pain and recover his strength. Meanwhile, Nid was also pushing himself to the limit to regain his strength.
At this moment, the beasts below the broken wall crowded together, Charge with each other. Suddenly, the white lion roared and began to slaughter the other wild beasts. The beasts also began to fight each other, with blood splattering and roars echoing.
