Chapter 977
War in Progress : Entering the Base
"And what was that sound from Xiao Honglu just now?"
"New abilities for the Nascent Soul stage?"
Seeing the calm Chu Xuan, the captain couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Li Xiao, suppressing his own thoughts, asked another question:
"I want to know why Xiao Honglu's soul left his body?"
"Not using your physical body to perform the ritual?"
Zhan Lan explained:
"Both the physical body and the nascent soul are coordinates for Xiao Honglu. As long as one of them reaches the time limit, the exchange mechanism can be triggered, and Xiao Honglu will be returned to the main god space unharmed, that is, with the Golden Core complete."
"After obtaining this time-related item, the three of us made up our minds."
"The greatest use of time-related items is to allow the Nascent Soul to self-destruct at the last moment."
"Because no matter how serious the injury, it will become real over time."
"This is also why Xiao Honglu is confident that he can attract a large army of robots on his own, in the face of modern or future technologies."
Just as Zhan Lan finished speaking, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes.
When they could see clearly again, a phantom image of a deer spirit appeared above Chen Zilong's head.
Seeing this sudden change, the two sides couldn't help but stare at each other.
Finally, Zhan Lan broke the silence:
"I understand now. Xiao Honglu is using Zhu Wen's bloodline skill, the effect of the Best Friend Aura."
"Although I don't know how he did it, the ability of the Best Friend Aura does indeed allow him to ignore distance and switch targets in an instant."
As Zhan Lan spoke, Zhu Wen quietly stepped down, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and immediately nodded, saying:
"That's right. Just a moment ago, I felt like I saw half the Earth from a very high vantage point."
"I sensed you right away and came over without thinking much about it."
"It actually worked."
Chen Zilong gasped upon hearing this:
"It seems that Xiao Honglu has gained many incredible abilities after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up at this moment:
"Deep Blue, retrieve satellite imagery data."
"I want to know what level Xiao Honglu can achieve in his Nascent Soul state."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people present saw a peculiar ball of flesh splitting and growing from Chu Xuan's outstretched right arm.
After the fleshy ball landed, red and white muscles first proliferated, followed by nerves and blood vessels taking root within it.
A dozen or so seconds passed.
A uniquely designed bio-light screen appeared in front of the Zhongzhou team members.
Before Zheng Zha and Chen Zilong could investigate what was going on with the screen...
As the light and shadow shifted, a unique battle unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Everyone in the audience was mesmerized.
-
The white spiritual energy that had formed the escape light dissipated once more.
Xiao Honglu walked to the area of the Decepticons with his hands behind his back and stopped there.
To others, the figure paused for a moment before continuing to fly towards the direction of the robot army.
This time he wasn't very fast.
They simply kept moving forward at a height visible to a normal person.
The Decepticons on the ground initially didn't pay much attention to the strange figure after spotting it.
It started with artillery fire, with shells trailing plumes of smoke rising from the ground and aiming at the target in the air.
Because the target was so close, countless shells were hurtling through the air at that moment.
However, the pinnacle of human-made firearms did not reach Xiao Honglu.
Whether it's bullets, shells, armor-piercing rounds, high-explosive rounds, etc., as long as it's a weapon,
They all suddenly exploded within a 15-meter radius of him, and were then neutralized by an invisible barrier.
There wasn't a speck of dust within five meters of Xiao Honglu.
As he continued onward.
Ground to air, ground to ground, air to air.
Vehicles equipped with various heavyweight weapons have successively transformed and appeared.
Compared to that meat grinder-like close-quarters combat,
The sky was filled with the unique flashes of fire from thermal weapons.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes!
The attack continues, but compared to the beginning, the firepower is no longer saturated.
Instead, it operates on an infinite loop pattern.
Even so, they still couldn't break through the 15-meter barrier, a distance that seemed like a divine punishment.
Not to mention that spotless five-meter-long structure.
And just after Xiao Honglu reached a certain distance.
A burst of white light suddenly erupted from the ground.
Then, a straight beam of light shot out from the dazzling light and struck the figure in the air with his hands behind his back.
Just like before.
After being inexplicably blocked, the white laser inevitably scattered in all directions from a point directly in front of Xiao Honglu.
Then, a second and a third burst of fire erupted from the robot army.
The scattered laser beams increased in number, even wiping out a large portion of the densely packed robot army on the ground.
Even in the face of such attacks, Xiao Honglu continued to advance at a steady pace.
His expression remained unchanged, staring blankly at the three laser beams in front of him.
Although the ground below him had now become a landscape of ravines.
But for him, not even a single detail of his clothing changed.
Without retaliating, Xiao Honglu continued forward.
And the speed remains unchanged.
However, the battlefield is a unified whole.
As the saying goes, "pulling one hair affects the whole body."
Once this character makes his invincible entrance, it's enough that he does nothing at all.
The various robots that were charging forward all stopped and looked back.
Some of the hidden flying vehicles even turned around directly.
Because of this scene.
Not only the Decepticons, but even the humans on the same side, such as Saito Hajime and Cheng Xiao, who were teammates, felt two words.
That's arrogance.
Extremely arrogant.
Arrogance that needs no words or expressions.
"Holy crap, is this really the Xiao Honglu I know?"
Cheng Xiao didn't even dare to look at his own expression, because he was afraid he would be scared to death by his own jealous and envious look.
What is this? This is the moment I've been dreaming of!
Unfortunately, this person is not himself.
He said it, but Cheng Xiao understood.
Only in this way can the robots in the Spark Cube base be brought out as much as possible.
Only in this way can the pressure on the front lines be reduced to a minimum.
The most obvious thing is the appearance of this conspicuous target.
The countless shells on the front lines were no longer aimed at the human alliance.
Instead, he aimed backward at Xiao Honglu in the air.
As we continue forward.
The originally dense array of physical projectiles has been transformed into energy light projectiles, and the white laser has become more damaging energy beams and electromagnetic attacks.
That is, at a certain moment.
Xiao Honglu, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky.
Thousands of miles away, Chu Xuan, sitting in front of the screen, murmured, "It's a space-based weapon!"
Before Zheng Zha and Chen Zilong could even ask what it meant...
Then Xiao Honglu saw the sky above his head suddenly darken.
A beam of blue light, solidified into a tangible form, descended from the sky.
The thick, cylindrical beam of light slammed into Xiao Honglu's head. The light projectiles and beams directly in front of him also became increasingly dense.
But this is not the end.
Because from within the blue beam of light, long, dark rods descended from the sky, accompanied by strange phenomena of distorted air and energy.
It seems to be similar to the weapons they used in The Mummy.
Zheng Zha remembered that even the monster that had evolved to a semi-explosive state had half its body shattered by this attack.
But now!
Blue light descended from the sky, along with space-based weapons carrying terrifying power, right in front of Xiao Honglu.
It didn't even touch a single hem of the garment.
However, compared to other attacks, these kinetic weapons with unpredictable power successfully broke through the fifteen-meter range.
However, upon entering, the terrifying attack that originally possessed a physical form vanished into dust as they advanced.
Even so, the Decepticons haven't given up.
One after another, heavy missiles were launched into the sky, but this time they were not aimed at the figure that seemed to be in another dimension.
Instead, it detonated in mid-air simultaneously from all sides around him.
White phosphorus bomb!
Thermoelectric bomb!
These missiles can be considered a type of nuclear weapon without nuclear radiation.
Not to mention that both weapons appeared at the same time.
Even the Decepticons who launched these attacks had to admit that such attacks posed a terrifying threat to them.
So much so that after acquiring it, they treasured this weapon, the pinnacle of human achievement, until now before finally using it.
But………
Amidst the flames that filled the entire sky, a black dot slowly drifted out.
He's still the same person with his hands behind his back.
However, compared to before, this person's true methods have finally been revealed.
Five-colored triangular flags circled around Xiao Honglu in a peculiar order, endlessly cycling up, down, left, and right.
Before the screen, where deep blue light condenses.
"Is this fucking outrageous?"
"This can be done by someone in the Nascent Soul stage??"
"Could the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Celestial Team you encountered back then also do this?"
Chen Zilong's voice represented the thoughts of most of the Zhongzhou team at that moment.
But Chu Xuan's words left them speechless.
"If you can't even do this, then what kind of immortality are you cultivating!"
"As for the Nascent Soul of the Celestial God Team you mentioned, it was only half-crippled back then. It had even lost its physical body, leaving only the Nascent Soul. How much strength could it possibly exert?"
"Moreover, that person didn't intend to risk their life in the first place."
Zheng Zha and Li Xiao, who had met that person, both nodded in agreement with Chu Xuan's point of view.
After all, this was the first time they had ever seen a Nascent Soul cultivator at their peak.
At this moment, Xiao Honglu, who was moving at a steady pace, had already crossed the defensive edge of the metal city.
Some robots with good eyesight are even able to see this person with their "naked eyes".
Each light bullet became the best light source at this moment.
The figure with its hands behind its back was illuminated even more clearly.
hum!
hum!
hum!
Above the metal city.
Three beams of electromagnetic light, seemingly piercing through the entire sky, burst forth.
At the same time, the blue light that had previously been extinguished reappeared in the sky.
The two attacks clashed head-on, one from above and one from below.
In that instant.
The figure in the air was like a sinner under divine punishment.
It is currently being attacked by two completely different energies from above and below.
The five-colored flags around him shone faintly.
Xiao Honglu's life wasn't as easy as it seemed, but it wasn't that difficult either.
With his Nascent Soul cultivation, burning his divine soul, and relying on the power of the formation, he was essentially in a burst state.
Feeling the intensity of the attacks from above and below, Xiao Honglu stared blankly ahead.
The posture I've maintained for so long has finally been changed.
He raised his right index finger and stretched it forward.
A black dot appears on the fingertip.
The black dot then grew larger at a constant speed.
In the blink of an eye.
A black and gold banner with an inexplicable air of authority appeared in the sky above this mechanical city.
When laser weapons disappear.
In this makeshift metal city.
Originally hidden underground, countless robots transformed into flying vehicles and soared into the sky towards Xiao Honglu.
But the next moment, dark clouds billowed and strong winds swirled on the black flag.
Countless white rays of light flew out from it, eventually transforming into human figures that fell downwards.
In no time, millions of figures appeared beneath Xiao Honglu.
If anyone among the Decepticons had paid attention to the number of people who have died on the battlefield so far, they would have found...
This number is exactly the same as the number of people who appeared at this moment.
As the war continues, for every death on the front lines, another will be added here.
These people looked at their slightly transparent and illusory bodies, and then at the numerous Decepticon robots around them.
Before his mind could even process what was happening, his body had already sprinted forward.
While they are weak without weapons, they gain immunity to physical attacks.
-
"Let's go, everyone!"
"It's time to go!"
After another large number of flying vehicles emerged, the half-ruined metal city fell completely silent.
Chu Xuan put away the biological screen and said:
"Zhu Wen, possess Zhan Lan and prepare to provide support."
"Visibility is extremely low in this metal city right now, so Zhan Lan is counting on you."
"After the ground situation is scanned, the information will be transmitted to our minds. Li Xiao, you and Zhao Yingkong will go first, and Chen Zilong will provide support from the middle."
"Zheng Zha is at the end."
He had just finished saying that.
Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong got up at the same time and flew straight forward close to the ground.
Chen Zilong followed behind.
Zhu Wen possesses Zhan Lan's body.
This mental power user was decisive; he drank a whole vial of vitality potion, took out the Rejuvenation Talisman, and immediately prepared to get up and follow.
But before he could even step out, he was stopped by a hesitant figure.
"Wait, Zhan Lan..."
Zhan Lan looked at Zheng Zha in front of her with a puzzled expression.
The man turned to the side and said:
"You don't need to go in from this distance. With Zhu Wen's enhancement, your mental scan is enough to cover the entire city, so safety comes first."
"Anyway, our goal this time is to raid the AllSpark Cube, not to fight a large number of robots."
"Even if we are discovered, we only need to keep advancing before the enemy forces can gather."
"The best-case scenario is that we won't be discovered until we obtain the AllSpark Cube."
"But the possibility is too low. I just hope the other party finds out later."
This was the first time Zhan Lan had ever heard Zheng Zha speak so much.
But it was precisely because of this that Zhan Lan's feelings became increasingly complicated. (End of Chapter)
