An Unwelcome Visitor
The air in front of Yinglong began to distort.
The mechs compressed the air at high speed, causing the snow particles on the ice to be shaken up first, and then pushed aside by the invisible barrier.
The next moment.
Boom!
A ring of white sonic boom clouds exploded around it.
The shockwave swept across the ice field, causing fine cracking sounds on the surface, with long, thin cracks flashing in the darkness.
Yinglong breaks the sound barrier!
The airflow on both sides of the machine tore out white cone-shaped trails, as if the entire mech was wrapped in a transparent spear.
Ahead, figures engaged in battle appeared.
The Miasma Throat flung off the bone dragon, its Dragon Tail sweeping across and sending the skeleton clad in red crystal armor flying hundreds of meters away.
He then tore through the shield beside Zijin with a Dragon Claw claw, and his next claw aimed straight at Zijin.
At that very moment, the vertical pupils of the Miasma Throat suddenly contracted.
He spread his dragon wings and forced himself backward.
A violent shockwave swept through first.
The ice surface suddenly cracked.
The blade flashed across his chest.
Its edges are blue and white, and its interior contains incomprehensible electric sparks.
It was a brutal combination of high temperature, magnetic field, and magical power.
In the next instant, "Yinglong" and Miasma Throat collided.
Then a large burst of dazzling light erupted from the shield.
A fiery red mark was also left on the surface of the heavy armor on the chest of the Miasma Throat.

Inside the driver's cab, Beianqi felt a sweet taste in her throat.
Even with the cushioning structure and Magic Power shield, she was still injured by the recoil from that high-speed attack.
Large swaths of snow and distortion also rippled around the image on the screen.
Beianqi pursed her lips, suppressing the rising smell of blood, and raised her hand to activate "Zuyi's Blessing" on her body.
A soft green light quickly enveloped her body.
These are spoils of war seized from Yexiya, Zijin has rewritten.
This helped her get through the period when her Spinal Hub was out of control.
After Beianqi recovered, I thought I would never need her again.
Little did they expect that one day they would need to wield a weapon like the "Yinglong".
The surprise attack just now failed to achieve its goal.
The reason is simple.
In that collision, the Yinglong Mech's own force and Magic Power shield were also stretched to their limits.
The driver assistance system swerved in an emergency, narrowly avoiding a collision.
Otherwise, if we continue to fight head-on, we'll be the ones who can't hold out first.
Despite the criticism, the driver assistance system is still very useful.
Beianqi raised her mech, completed a mid-air turn, and looked down.
The sharp blade in his hand gradually returned to its normal blue-white color after being overloaded, turning from orange-red.
She looked down at the Miasma Throat, her voice carried through the speaker.
"Excuse me, Little Fatty Dragon."
This is the first time I've encountered this kind of ingredient; I'm not sure how to cook it.
A chilling light emanated from the Miasma Throat.
"Court death!"
During the impact, he keenly sensed that this mech, which was only a quarter the size of him, was far less powerful overall than him.
Although that knife was strangely sharp.
High temperature, high heat.
It was also interspersed with strange electric sparks that could tear apart the shield structure.
However, it seems to become dull after just one cut.
The threat is significant, but it can be handled.
The Miasma Throat made its decision, pushed off the ice with both legs, and its dragon body soared into the air.
First, take care of this glass cannon!
In the air, Beianqi, who had successfully drawn away hatred, smiled slightly.
The Curseflame Engine nozzles are turning.
"Yinglong" quickly rose and then retreated.
The plasma blade in his hand retracted, and the ranged weapon on his back detached from its mount and connected to the robotic arm.
It was a long and heavy firearm.
The slender gun barrel is longer than the mecha itself, and the sides of the gun are covered with magically reinforced patterns.
The superconducting coil battery in the magazine position is activated, and blue-white arcs light up section by section along the gun body.
Beianqi has identified the Miasma Throat.
Pull the trigger.
The Miasma Throat only saw a flash of fire.
The shield in front of him swayed slightly in the next instant.
A section of his heavy armor suddenly crumbled.
"What's this!"
The Miasma Throat.
A distance of several kilometers, less than a second.
He didn't even see it clearly; the shattered armor pieces spun in the air, trailing remnants of runic light as they plummeted toward the ice.
How do I dodge that?
The enemy's weaponry has taken another step up compared to the intelligence reports on its responsiveness and attack speed!
****
On the mech's side, the energy bar is full again.
Beianqi fired again, and the second bullet flew out.
Gauss rifle.
In other words, a miniature electromagnetic railgun.
Smaller, yet more flexible!
The Pansy is not currently equipped with electromagnetic weapons.
But "Yinglong" exists!
Since the Miasma Throat came so urgently, we naturally have to treat it with the utmost hospitality!
This time, seeing the flash of the cannon, Miasma Throat managed to make a dodge maneuver.
But performing an action is one thing, doing an action is another.
The heavy armor on the Miasma Throat's body inevitably became even more dull.
"Little Fatty Dragon!"
"I'm going to cook you today!"
"I called out loudly," Beianqi said.
****
Earth's battlefield.
Upon spotting the target, Lie'aonisi, the task force immediately opened fire and killed him instantly.
No questioning was conducted.
No attempt was made to contact them.
The intense firepower covered the area within seconds, shattering the parasite and finishing it off until it showed no signs of life.
The task force quickly discovered an anomaly near the scene.
I suspect there's something down there.
"Those things found in the cave were fucking bait."
Beside Jin Rongjia, the leader of an action team cursed.
Even after they found the supplies hidden by the Plundering Clock in the cave, they did not stop their investigation.
During this time, they have also been searching the mountains and fields for other suspicious traces.
But what the Jackal Organization was really trying to hide was actually buried in the wasteland under a thick layer of soil.
It's also been overgrown with weeds and vines for a year!
Even if you pass by, you won't find anything special about it.
"We made a mistake," Jin Rongjia sighed.
"Those two old men who were killed liked to dig up kudzu roots."
"This clue has been overlooked."
Kudzu is a climbing plant, an ecological killer, and is known as the "green devil."
But its roots can be used in medicine.
It's delicious when ground into powder and brewed.
Of course, their roots go very deep; it's not surprising to sometimes dig several meters deep.
"Yes!" the team leader added.
"The biggest difference between those two elderly people who were killed and others was that even when the census takers were leading the way, they would still find opportunities to dig up kudzu roots."
It's too late to say all this now.
No one had mentioned beforehand that the old man had entrusted his neighbor to sell kudzu root powder while selling smoked goose, which made the connection.
****
The mechanical dog approaches the wreckage of Lie'aonisi.
Under remote control, it pried open the bits of flesh near the parasite's heart.
Sure enough, they found a red crystal.
Tiny blood vessels were still attached to the edges.
Jin Rongjia looked at the investigators as they excavated a small area, which was a stone slab with strange patterns.
He suddenly remembered that Su Ming had discovered traces of the "Guiding Descent" of the Plundering Clock at the Stone Pattern Altar in the Gravel Scale Desert.
"Destroy it!" Jin Rongjia ordered.
"Yes!"
The order has just been issued.
The magic array on the ground suddenly lit up at that moment.
"Fire!" Jin Rongjia ordered decisively.
Immediately, all of the action team's light and heavy weapons quickly covered the magic array area.
Machine gun fire, grenade bombardment, and heavy artillery barrages rained down one after another.
Soil, Crushed Stone, tree roots, and fallen leaves were all blasted into the air.
The entire forest looked as if a layer had been peeled away from the ground.
Only after confirming that the buried stone slabs had been blown away and the light had disappeared did Jin Rongjia raise his hand to signal a ceasefire.
The drone approached to further confirm the extent of the damage.
On the scorched ground, the strange stone slabs engraved with array patterns were all blasted to pieces.
Jin Rongjia thought for a moment, then took out his communication device, intending to contact Sangzi.
Ask them if the system they are developing has detected any anomalies.
Suddenly, something fell from the sky.
Boom!
Just as everyone picked up their weapons, a bolt of lightning exploded across the scene.
Blinding flashes of electricity streaked across the ground and over metal equipment.
The entire battlefield was instantly covered in sparks and smoke.
****
The Arctic region of Taya.
Miasma Throat realized that it had been kited.
He went after the "Yinglong" mech.
At first, the opponent pretended to retreat, flying backward while firing with his annoying weapon.
There was no Magic Power gathering, no complicated pre-cast animation, and the trajectory was too fast to catch.
A flash of light, and the tiny bullet was right in front of them.
The Miasma Throat can sense danger, but it cannot avoid it in such a short time.
For the first time, he began to doubt whether he really should lose weight.
As the Miasma Throat closed in despite the barrage of bullets, Yinglong dropped the pretense and transformed.
The Spellflame Turbofan nozzles on the back of the mech were rearranged, and the wing-like aerodynamic configuration unfolded, instantly transforming the entire mech into a high-speed aircraft.
They dragged out a sonic boom cloud and sped away.
A Miasma Throat of putrid mist stuck in his throat.
He immediately turned to Su Ming.
Among these enemies, Su Ming is the most vulnerable link.
He is the weakest.
Unfortunately Spell Penetration power and can always find its gaps.
You might get tricked by him if you're not careful.
Clearly, this is an opponent skilled at observing the battlefield.
But every time the Miasma Throat chased Su Ming, the bone dragon would stand firmly in front of him.
Even if their sternum is cracked and their red crystal armor is corroded and smoking, they will still pounce again.
Although it was a dead dragon to begin with.
But the Miasma Throat was still bothering me, and I wanted to kill it again.
He kicks the bone dragon to pieces, and then the Zijin will entangle him.
This person's six-elemental magic is highly versatile. She didn't fight the Miasma Throat- on, but instead kept slowing down his movements and cutting off his pursuit route.
And at this time, that annoying "Yinglong" will return.
They made a series of clanging noises on his back.
The anger in Miasma Throat's heart continued to build.
He stopped his pursuit, a deep rumble emanating from deep within his chest.
A massive amount of decaying power converged at his throat, compressing layers of green and black light, and even causing the surrounding ice surface to prematurely turn yellow.
"Die!"
"Corrosive Mist Dragon Breath!"
The Miasma Throat suddenly unleashed a powerful attack.
This time, the breath attack was no longer a sweeping strike, but a close-range burst.
The thick, putrid fog, like a burst dam, instantly enveloped the area where Su Ming and Zijin were!
I have absolute certainty about the Miasma Throat.
At such close range, both of their Magic Power shields and equipment would be completely corroded away.
This is the power of Destiny Level – overwhelming force!
****
From the side, Miasma Throat caught a glimpse of the "Yinglong" mech rushing back.
He stood in front of Zijin.
The Miasma Throat was overjoyed and immediately increased its strength.
The three together would be even better!
That mech did indeed ignore his "Withering" field, which was designed to target living units.
But before his corrupting mist, all things are equal!
The massive breath lasted for several seconds.
As the lingering fog dissipated, a large area of ice ahead was stained a dark yellow, with bubbles constantly rising from its surface.
However, Yinglong's figure appeared in the smoke.
It still has sharp edges and corners.
A huge shield was unfolded in front of him.
Its overall color is a blend of dark gold and crystal blue.
The Miasma Throat only glanced at it before its eyes widened.
"Magic Power Crystal Core and Celestial Gold!"
The former is an energy storage crystal that can automatically absorb Magicules and restore energy.
The latter is a superior material for magic resistance.
Even in Eden, this is the highest level of things.
The "Dust Serpent Heavy Armor" on Miasma Throat's body was an unprecedentedly luxurious configuration.
Only a portion of these materials were used.
The shield on the other side is made entirely of these components!
What a waste!
"So you're the only one allowed to be flashy and wear expensive clothes?"
Beianqi gave a sneer.
To obtain this shield, Su Ming and Zijin emptied the treasure troves of the dragon elders in Dragon Valley.
Indeed, no money is wasted on the battlefield!
****
Beianqi controlled "Yinglong" to retreat.
Because both fuel and battery alarms were sounding simultaneously in the cabin.
"12% fuel remaining; superconducting coil battery depleted."
The bone dragon, which had been kicked onto the ice, stood up again.
Nearly half of its skeleton was broken, and several joints were emitting corrosive fumes. Much of the enhancement equipment from the Super Crystal Dragon was also broken, revealing large craters.
The "White Bone Mark" unfolded, and Zijin raised her hand, enveloping it in a thick black mist.
The skeletal structure quickly returned to its original position.
The cracked bone gaps were filled with black mist, and the shattered joints snapped back together.
Then, the bone dragon rose again and pounced on the Miasma Throat.
Enraged, Miasma Throat slapped the bone dragon several times, sending it flying.
This thing just never ends!
He noticed that "Yinglong" had slightly withdrawn from the battle.
A small aircraft approached it.
That thing was much smaller, with a simpler structure, resembling a flat, mechanical bird.
After it approached "Yinglong", the robotic arm quickly extended and hooked down two fuel storage tanks and two ring-shaped batteries from the mecha.
Then, the replacement part was installed.
"Yinglong | Inside the cockpit, fuel and power were quickly replenished."
Beianqi immediately perked up.
The exhaust flames of the Spellflame Turbofan engine on the back of the mech brightened once more.
Yinglong has re-entered the battle.
He raised the Gauss rifle in his hand.
The flames reappeared!
At a slightly greater distance, Miasma Throat made a nimble, unpredictable change of direction, dodging most of the attacks.
He carefully recalled what had just happened.
I finally understand:
This mech is resupplying!
This indicates that its battery life is extremely short!
The Miasma Throat turned its head and looked into the distance.
The supply drone is flying towards the Pansy.
We need to disrupt Yinglong's supply capabilities first!
The Miasma Throat acted decisively, flapping its wings.
EHD Lightning Dash!
Lightning crackled along the edges of the dragon's wings, and the air around it was forcibly torn apart.
The massive dragon body of the Miasma Throat transformed into a blurry, eerie blue light as it swiftly pounced towards the Pansy.
Its speed is nearly supersonic.
Su Ming and Zijin couldn't keep up with that speed at all.
Only Yinglong has the ability to keep up.
But Miasma Throat didn't care. He was determined to destroy the Pansy, even if it meant taking several shots from a Gauss rifle!
