Chapter 863 Sakura

The golden-red blade was like a raging fire, with high-temperature flames entwined.

Hayata wielded the Flying Dragon Sword [Black Yao], trying to cut the silk threads connecting the metal parts and giant bricks.

She didn't expect that the target of this newly built sword, which had just been built, was not a monster, but these silk threads with amazing toughness.

It must be said that under the burning of the high-temperature flame on the blade, the efficiency of this sword in cutting silk threads was much stronger than the previous night sword [Moon Shadow].

Dragging his seriously injured body, he coped with the fierce attacks of the two great swordsmen in a panic, while trying to build the ruins city, and the progress was frequently interrupted because the silk threads were repeatedly destroyed.

Ge Mantis realized that if it continued like this, it might not be able to build a complete ruins city until it died.

So it decided to change its strategy and take it step by step.

The tail section and the foot blade arm that hooked the silk threads pulled violently, and the large and small parts that Hayata had not yet cut off the connection flew into the air and fell to Ge Mantis.

Gordon and Asa dodged repeatedly to avoid being crushed by the parts that weighed several tons or even dozens of tons.

Gordon and Asa dodged in time and were not injured, but their movements were greatly restricted.

They felt as if they had suddenly come to a chaotic warehouse full of debris. Walking and swinging swords would be affected. There were also a lot of silk threads entangled between the parts, which made it extremely difficult to even approach the mantis.

Not only them, but even Ansir, who was sniping from a distance, had to stop firing.

Mantis seemed to be in a maze of huge parts, and its shooting range was almost completely blocked.

"Hayata!"

Gordon shouted to summon the "tool man" while trying to swing his sword to clean the silk.

His [God's Might] greatsword and Asa's Horned King Sword could also cut the silk, but the efficiency was very low. It often took several swords to cut a little, which was far less neat than the fire-attributed flying dragon sword [Black Yao].

Hayata came running.

After changing into the fire sword, she basically gave up the attack on the main body of the mantis. Her only two goals at the moment were to cut off the silk to delay the construction of the ruins city and to open the way for her companions.

While the hunters worked hard to break through the obstacles, the mantis got a brief respite.

Its legs moved rapidly, "balling" the silk connecting many parts, and at the same time constantly spewing more silk to reinforce it.

A golden cocoon made entirely of silk quickly took shape.

Anxier, who was constantly adjusting the angle and looking for a shooting route in the distance, noticed all this through the scope.

He quickly recognized that the cocoon ball that the mantis was building was the "control center" he had seen on the mechanical behemoth before.

This thing must be the key to building the ruins city. Anxier quickly loaded two armor-piercing grenades for the fierce moment [Shiyu], locked the cocoon ball and quickly pulled the trigger.

The crossbow bullet flew over.

However, the dynamic vision and reaction speed of the mantis were amazing. At the moment when the crossbow was about to hit the cocoon, it suddenly moved quickly and blocked the cocoon.

The armor-piercing grenade nailed on its back and then exploded.

"Ji——!" The mantis screamed in pain, but its movements did not slow down at all.

As the key node for controlling the ruins city, this cocoon is not as casual as it looks, with a bunch of silk threads piled up in a clump.

In order to flexibly control various parts of the mechanical behemoth, the structure of this cocoon is actually very complex and precise. If it is damaged during the manufacturing process, it is likely to fail.

So it would rather use its body to block the crossbow than let the cocoon be affected.

"It is using insect silk to make the center!" Anshil, who couldn't find the shooting angle for a while, shouted: "Kill the center, otherwise the ruins city will soon be formed!"

Gordon reacted and the "center" Anshil mentioned should refer to the two small cocoons on the mechanical behemoth before, except for the giant cocoon where the mantis body was.

Hayata also realized this. Without anyone reminding her, she immediately stopped clearing the way and prepared to use the advantage of the sword to make her body flexible, and rush to the position of the mantis through the spider-web-like silk threads alone.

But it was still a step too late.

The mantis, who had completed the cocoon under the shooting of the crossbow bullet, pulled and manipulated the silk threads at a speed that even the top puppeteers could not match.

With the assistance of the cocoon center, the speed of stacking parts was instantly increased by several levels.

The ruins city rose from the ground almost in the blink of an eye.

However, perhaps because of the serious injury, tight time and many interferences, the mantis failed to build a complete mechanical behemoth.

The scale of the ruins city in front of him was only half of the previous mechanical behemoth. From the shape, it was almost the front half of the mechanical behemoth, unable to move and walk, and had no head.

But this was enough to raise the strength of the mantis to another level.

The dragon-striking spear and the wing claws composed of huge steel beams swung down one after another, as if venting its anger.

"That guy relies on vibration sensing, right?" Even though it was his first time fighting with Xucheng, the experienced Asa still realized the key at the first time.

"Don't move yet." After saying this briefly, he started running alone.

Sure enough, Ge Mantis immediately manipulated his two wing claws and chased Asa and swung at him.

Gordon Hayata waited for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out at high speed and rushed to Xucheng at full speed.

"Attack the silk thread on the foot!" Gordon roared and raised the big sword.

Hayata immediately launched a series of air blade slashes.

In the flames and sword light, the silk thread wrapped around the ankle of the giant beast was cut off.

The hastily built ruins city, which only had half of its body, had only two legs to support its balance. One of them lost control, and the ruins city suddenly tilted seriously, and the movement temporarily stopped.

"Climb up!"

Gordon raised his sword high and placed the sword body diagonally on the leg of the mechanical beast.

Hayata understood, put away the sword and stepped back a few steps, then rushed up, stepped on Gordon's shoulder, and used the back of the sword to gain strength, flew to the knee of the mechanical beast, and then continued to climb up quickly.

Her eyes were fixed on the center on the back of the mechanical beast.

As long as this cocoon was solved, the ruins city that had just been pulled up would collapse again!

Using all her strength, she quickly climbed up the back of the mechanical beast. Before she could draw her weapon, the mechanical beast under her feet shook violently.

Glancing sideways at the nearby Ge Mantis, who hadn't even had time to build a "cockpit".

The latter was also looking at her.

"Jiya——!"

Ge Mantis screamed, controlling the mechanical beast and driving the wing claws to smash at her.

The mechanical beast's back was uneven, making it difficult to dodge, and it was meaningless to dodge many attacks. If the center couldn't be solved as soon as possible and the ruins city was destroyed, the battle would be endless.

How to quickly chop the two-meter diameter thread center

Shenwei Iai? The mechanical wing claws that swung down would not give her a chance to charge.

Air blade continuous slash? There was no such a good attack window.

She could only take a risk.

This was a move she had secretly practiced, but because she didn't have a Kinsect, she couldn't reach that starting speed, so she could never practice it.

However, in the state of courage, her control over her body was greatly improved, so maybe she could give it a try!

"Boom!"

The mechanical wing claws smashed down, and Hayata jumped back and dodged a big step.

With the inertia of the backward leap, her legs slightly bent, and her calf muscles and knees tightened like compressed springs.

Then, she turned into a fast afterimage and rushed forward, almost flashing to the front of the central cocoon.

Her body spun, and the Flying Dragon Sword [Black Yao] continuously cut through the central cocoon, and the blade light wrapped with fire and red light of the air blade flashed continuously, and the scattered fighting spirit fluttered like cherry blossoms.

Cherry Blossom Air Blade Slash!

The cocoon was divided into three and fell obliquely.

The ruins city, which had lost its only center, began to collapse.
