Chapter 71 “Tail Flame”

Terpterodon.

The advanced blade beasts described in textbooks are also divided into three tiers: low, medium, and high. The top-tier Triceratops has hypersonic speed and polar armor, making it even more difficult to deal with than general-level blade beasts.

The moment these unique Blade Beasts appeared, they destroyed an electromagnetic cannon, causing some chaos within the outer C-zone camp’s defensive line.

As one side weakens while the other gains, the Blade Beasts’ attacks on the perimeter become increasingly fierce.

The horde of Blade Beasts, which had surrounded the camp from three sides, charged towards the main camp several times. The human side unleashed full firepower, and the battlefield support system intervened to control every firepower unit.

The biggest threat to the camp right now is the Pterodactyl.

Wang Jixuan quickly received the information shared by Uncle Tai.

A total of four Pteranodons darted between the three battlefields, using their speed advantage to systematically attack the main firepower points of the human side.

—Electromagnetic railgun emplacements, rocket launch sites, rapid-fire gun bunkers, missile positions, and so on.

The only saving grace is that these few Pteranodons are not top-tier individuals, but rather evolved from basic Blade Beasts.

Anti-aircraft firepower was fully activated, and bursts of “fireworks” frequently appeared in the air, hindering the attack of the Terpterosaurs to some extent.

After observing carefully for a while, Wang Jixuan quickly made a decision.

He did not abandon his original goal because of the sudden appearance of the powerful Blade Beast.

He chose to no longer restrain his fighting strength.

Mimic Blade Beasts are taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the camp, while the psionicists’ attention is mostly drawn to the Wyverns.

The talisman for speed and the spell for speed.

Ten nails were put out at once!

Wang Jixuan carefully observed the situation in various places and used his spiritual sense to quickly find the spiritual energy fluctuations of the mimicry blade beasts. On average, he killed three blade beasts and dug out one crystal core.

Now he has to improve his efficiency and can’t just focus on mining anymore.

Zheng Shiduo, who was originally following behind him, has now rushed towards the vicinity of the electromagnetic gun turret, constantly searching for the extremely fast-moving figure in the air.

Outside the camp’s defensive line, the human forces were unleashing a barrage of firepower, tearing apart wave after wave of Blade Beasts.

But once they storm the camp, the fragile humans will be utterly defeated.

Large numbers of Blade Beasts were also spotted in the north and south of the camp, charging forward in wheel form to scatter and avoid human fire.

All firepower units within the camp are activated!

Two-thirds of the sniper rifles used by the soldiers at the defensive line have been replaced with heavy machine guns!

Uncle Tai’s shouts came through the helmet headset:

“The main force of the Blade Beasts is splitting up; the main battlefield is at Commander Ling Tong’s location! Damn it! A general-level beast is heading towards our split battlefield!”

Uncle Tai’s voice carried a hint of anxiety:

“Our air force has been deployed! If the situation gets too bad, we might have to use nuclear weapons! Wang Zheng, you must be careful! Don’t break out of our defensive line!”

“Isn’t this a separate battlefield? How come there are so many Blade Beasts here?!”

Wang Jixuan replied, “I understand. Leave these mimicry blade beasts to me. How’s the situation with Ling Tong?”

“The pressure over there is not so great, and the firepower utilization index is only 80%.”

Uncle Tai swore:

“A wave of missiles is coming! Take them down!”

As soon as Uncle Tai finished speaking, Wang Jixuan saw arcs in the sky.

Dozens of ballistic missiles streaked across the sky above the camp, hurtling towards the darkness, their target the area where the general-level blade beast was located.

call out–

Terpterus reappears!

Wang Jixuan saw it!

The Terpterosaur was over ten meters long and covered in light gold exoskeleton armor. Six small ‘bone wings’ sprouted from its back as it sped past the edge of the missile swarm!

Its bony wings contracted, its speed increased dramatically, and its mouthparts, encased in sharp exoskeletons, resembled a pointed cone as it flew around the periphery of the missile swarm!

The Terpterosaur is intercepting a missile!

A missile exploded over the camp!

Wang Jixuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the dark place, where he saw a black shadow more than fifty meters tall standing on the edge of the desert!

Missiles, trailing plumes of fire, struck the dark shape!

The light from the explosion outlined the silhouette of this enormous creature.

It has a slightly bulky body, four huge, long legs that support it, and its entire body is covered with countless layers of hard exoskeleton. The huge bladed limbs close to its front show its powerful destructive force.

Its large, triangular sword-like bone on its back, which constantly gleams, allows it to release powerful electromagnetic pulses when it approaches human camps.

Dozens of missiles bombarded it, hindering its advance and causing damage to its body. Several missiles hit its left forelimb, causing it to fall forward.

The countless bladed beasts crawling around it quickly piled up on top of each other, supporting it and allowing the huge bladed beast to stabilize itself.

It raised its head and let out a roar.

hold head high–

The entire line of Blade Beasts has rioted! Their offensive has become even more ferocious!

This is… a General-level Blade Beast!

Master Wang inwardly marveled, “It’s an ancient demon with at least two or three hundred years of cultivation! I wonder how big its crystal core is.”

The general-level blade beasts were still far from the camp.

This thing moves at a similar speed to a regular bladed beast, and human firepower is already being poured onto it.

The three battlefields are now clear.

The main battlefield is the fake military camp in the desert, right where Ling Tong is located. It is under attack from all sides by the largest group of blade beasts and is also the key area for our own fire support.

The secondary battlefields are located on the surface and underground of the fortress, which are the priority areas for our own firepower. The dozen or so firing points set up around the fortress suppress the Blade Beasts, preventing them from crossing the line.

Missiles from long-range support kept streaking across the sky, most of them crashing near the fortress.

The third battlefield is the camp where Master Wang is currently located.

This camp is located on the connecting line between the main battlefield and the secondary battlefield. The three are connected on the map to form an obtuse triangle, making this a key node for supporting the main battlefield.

But for some reason, the Blade Beasts’ offensive here was no less powerful than that of the fortress.

Wang Jixuan experienced, observed, and felt.

He listened to the roar around him and watched the ever-flaming tail flames, unsure if he would see the dawn, as he was enveloped by a massive shadow of death.

He felt a burning sensation all over his body.

Yes, it’s hot.

He had never experienced this feeling before. It was different from his ascetic training in the mountains, different from the battles he had witnessed among cultivators, and even more different from the sparring and exchanges with his fellow disciples.

Even though the local destructive power of this war is not as great as that of two Golden Core cultivators fighting each other, he can still clearly feel the threat of life and death because of his current ‘vulnerability’.

This is a battle for survival.

A battle for survival.

If the camp is destroyed, he will find it difficult to survive in such a horde of bladed beasts.

Then let’s not let the camp be destroyed!

Wang Jixuan sheathed his dagger, his back trembled, and three sections of the spear shaft flew out. He raised his hand, grabbed them, and twisted them into a long spear, the tip of which trembled slightly!

Beneath the three specially wrapped leather sheaths, the three crystal cores activated on their own, and the spear was filled with a surge of spiritual energy!

Swift as the wind, his spear pierced through demons; even the mimicry-bladed beasts could not withstand a single blow from him!

Slay the demon.

Survival!

call out–

The Pteranodon swooped down on the camp again, its target still the electromagnetic gun emplacement!

…

“Captain Zheng! You fucking need to do something! Pteranodon!”

The camp commander’s cursing made Zheng Shiduo’s eardrums ache.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Zheng Shiduo gritted his teeth and cursed, “I’m a C-class, not a B-class! How come even Teratomorphs have appeared?!”

“We have to deal with it! Otherwise, the mech units and drone swarms won’t be able to deploy! If the general-level blade beasts reach the defensive line, we’re all doomed! Captain Zheng, you need to think of a solution!”

“What the hell can I do! Light up the sky! Flares aren’t worth much!”

Zheng Shiduo cursed loudly as he stood on the edge of an electromagnetic gun emplacement, his eyes constantly searching around.

What about King Muliang’s expedition?

Boom boom boom!

Flares illuminated the camp inside and out, turning the entire battlefield into daylight, while thick smoke billowed from all directions like rolling dark clouds.

Zheng Shiduo caught a glimpse of the area illuminated by the flare and saw Wang Jixuan ‘flying’ close to the ground with a gun. His eyes twitched violently.

Zheng Shiduo has confirmed two things: Ling Tong’s boyfriend can see the mimicry blade beasts and his strength can be upgraded!

The speed this guy is unleashing right now is something even a C-level balanced psionicist like him can’t achieve without external assistance!

—Wang Jixuan is currently in a state where he is aided by a magical artifact.

No, what kind of monster is this?

Zheng Shiduo didn’t dare to waste any more time looking around. His eyes lit up with a pale green light as he searched for the location of the Terpterus in the sky.

A Demiopteryx swept across the edge of the Sari Desert and swooped down toward the main battlefield—the fake military camp.

Suddenly, a silver-white mech leaped out of the fake military camp. This mech charged diagonally towards the Terpterosaur, unleashing an acceleration that no ordinary human pilot could withstand. Just before the mech collided head-on with the Terpterosaur, its body tilted strangely, and the mech plummeted downwards, its right arm extending a massive, high-alloy blade that swung steadily in a slash.

The pterosaur’s abdomen was pierced by a giant alloy blade!

Ling Tong’s Mecha!

This expensive mecha is the core equipment for battle maidens, and its combat power is incredibly formidable.

“Damn it!”

Zheng Shiduo waved his hands forcefully.

Great, one Pteranodon has been taken down, so what’s next…?

Whoosh! Boom!

A violent explosion erupted from the electromagnetic turret to Zheng Shiduo’s left. A Demi-Pteranodon swept past at lightning speed, and the heat wave from the explosion surged towards him. Zheng Shiduo grabbed the railing to straighten himself up, his gaze fixed on the Demi-Pteranodon.

He quickly took a small syringe from his shirt pocket and injected himself in the neck.

Scales rapidly appeared on Zheng Shiduo’s skin, his thin body swelled up, the green light in his eyes turned into flames, and the image of the Pteranodon was constantly reflected in his pupils.

Zheng Shiduo shouted at the top of his lungs:

“Commander! Anti-aircraft missiles have locked onto my vicinity! Get away from me! Don’t fucking blow me up!”

“Old Wolf, Big Bear, Black Panther, Three-Wheeled Car! You four teams keep a close eye on me! I’m going to get this Pteranodon over here and figure out a way to hold it down! I can only do this kind of big job once every three days!”

【Special Psionic Ability: Blade Beast Taunt】.

Zheng Shiduo muttered incantations, and invisible ripples emanated from the top of his head, while the steel wings on his back spread out as wide as they could.

This kind of ripple is a form of mental interference, and it’s mixed with many, many things…

“Little darling, come and mate, little darling, little darling, come and kill me! Make me feel like I’m in heaven, baby! I’m your exclusive partner, and you’re female? That’s amazing! Can you wear a prosthetic leg to mate with me? No? Then I’ll have to mate with you. What a pity, I thought you could take the initiative! Wow, you’re angry. Don’t be angry, I’m yours, you’re mine, we’re a happy family!”

hold head high–

The roar of the Terpterosaur echoed through the air.

The Demigod that Zheng Shiduo had locked onto spread its wings and soared through the air, circling half a circle to adjust its position before shooting towards Zheng Shiduo’s location!

The electromagnetic cannon next to Zheng Shiduo opened fire quickly!

Automatic anti-aircraft guns opened fire throughout the camp!

More than a dozen anti-aircraft missiles detached from their launchers!

A series of explosions occurred around the Demi-Pteranodon, and its distance from Zheng Shiduo on the electromagnetic gun platform was reduced to less than 100 meters within seven seconds!

The psionicists who jumped up beside them transformed into half-bears, then into black panthers, threw out huge metal nets, and desperately unleashed their firepower.

Time seemed to stand still in Zheng Shiduo’s eyes.

He seems to have… overestimated himself…

Although the steel wings on his back had already activated and were now spewing flames, at the moment the Pteranodon was about to crash into him, he could only retreat two meters, and would be smashed into a pulp…

However, the Pteranodon will also crash into the ground due to a frontal charge and impact with the turret, so our psionicists should be able to kill or severely damage it.

“Ah, so this is where I died.”

Zheng Shiduo’s lips curled down, and he used all his strength to bounce backward, the steel wings carrying him sideways outward.

The Pterosaur is about to crash down!

Several images flashed before Zheng Shiduo’s eyes.

A similar situation occurred before, but at that time he was carrying a rocket launcher and was stabbed in the chest by the bladed limbs of a bladed beast that jumped out from the ground;

Then came the abyss of pain and despair, as he received a psionic infusion in the device;

Then came flying through the air and diving into the ground, carrying out various missions and blowing up Blade Beast lairs. He was mocked as a psionic parasite and a lesser Blade Beast, but damn it… he’s always been a warrior, just a bit twisted by psionic energy…

Overall, he has had a pretty happy life so far.

‘Damn it, psionicists can’t get the Martyr’s Medal.’

‘It was worth it.’

Zheng Shiduo laughed heartily.

Sudden!

“make!”

The three emerald green talismans that had somehow gotten stuck to Zheng Shiduo’s steel wings were lit up at the same time!
