Chapter 317: Giant Vs. Giant Overlord Intrusion
Boom. Boom!
With the sound of an earthquake, a giant beast that looks like a four-legged spider is wandering in the metal forest near the active volcano.
Its head is flat and slender, and its eyes emit scarlet light.
And there are densely packed compound eye tissues at the back of its head, which seem to be able to observe in all directions.
Its body is covered with spike-like "hair", and there is a closed "gap" at the tail of the body.
It may be used to spray "spider silk" or it may be an organ with other uses.
In addition.
There are many local creatures with hard skin, like pterosaurs, hovering above this giant beast.
"Roar~Roar——!"
They look up and roar, as if expressing dissatisfaction with the giant beast, or conveying some information to their kind.
However, one thing that can be confirmed is that the local creatures with a wingspan of more than 15 meters appear insignificant in front of the giant beast.
The height of the four legs of the giant beast is more than 100 meters, not to mention its main trunk and other organs.
"Hiss"
At this moment, the giant beast emitted some kind of low sound waves, and its head slightly raised, its scarlet eyes stared at the local creatures hovering in the air.
Swoosh-swoosh-!!
Then, accompanied by a burst of sonic booms breaking the air.
The giant beast ejected a large number of spike-shaped "fluff" and formed a barrage like a close-range artillery to deal with the guys who disturbed its good mood.
Ding--!
Chi--!
When the "fluff" that looked like building steel hit and pierced the group of local creatures at the speed of sound, it actually produced sparks of metal collision or friction.
This is enough to show that all creatures on the earth today have become more solid, strong and "strange" due to the drastic changes in the environment.
In the blink of an eye, the giant beast used countless fluff to shoot down the group of local creatures that looked like pterosaurs.
"Hiss"
It emitted a low sound wave again.
But this time, it was obviously in a good mood.
The giant beast suddenly changed direction and headed for the magma lake in the crater of the active volcano.
It seemed that it was preparing to take a "hot spring bath" and replenish its heat and radioactive substances from the earth's crust.
?
But it stopped suddenly when it had just climbed halfway.
The compound eyes at the rear end of its head seemed to have discovered something, approaching it at a very fast speed.
Then, it raised its body, opened its tail gap, and aimed at the sky above the south.
Ri~——!
Then the gap in its tail began to emit a glare similar to that emitted by the ship-borne electromagnetic main gun when it was charging.
It's just that the charging light of the ship-borne electromagnetic main gun is blue, while the giant beast's is scarlet.
Whoosh————!
At the moment when the charging ended, the red gun group, like a plasma cannon, instantly crossed the sky and rushed straight to the south.
But.
After waiting for a while, the giant beast did not hear the violent explosion as before.
Does this mean that its attack was in vain? ?
The beast was stunned.
But soon, it began to adjust its angle and continued to shoot towards the sky in the south. And it continued to shoot.
Whoosh-whoosh-! ! !
A large number of energy artillery groups similar to plasma rushed to the south one after another.
Boom. Boom--!
Finally!
With the beast's unremitting attempts, its attack finally worked, and a violent explosion occurred at a low altitude about 20 kilometers away from its location.
"Hiss!"
The beast roared as if it had succeeded, and then headed towards the crater again.
However.
Whoosh-whoosh--! !
Boom--boom--! ! !
However, as soon as the beast turned around, it suffered a precise attack from the 1200mm Gauss spike cannon with a straight trajectory and flashing blue light, as well as the large-caliber plasma artillery group.
In an instant, a more violent explosion took place at the peak of the volcano.
"Roar!!"
The beast's painful roar resounded throughout the entire area.
When the smoke from the spike cannon and plasma cannon cleared, it was discovered that the beast actually had a vaguely visible protective stance.
However, although the previous artillery barrage did not cause much damage to its appearance, it had a serious impact on its internal organs.
Orange fluorescent blood was flowing out of its eyes and the edges of its compound eyes.
At this moment, the beast completely reacted and realized that the guys attacking it were not the mob in the past, but had strength similar to or close to the dominant race on Earth at this stage.
It stabilized its body, adjusted its angle, and cast its eyes to the sky 20 kilometers to the south.
? ? ?
At this glance, it found four humanoid mechas approaching at a very fast speed.
And the four humanoid mechas took advantage of the gap in the previous artillery barrage to close the distance to its current position.
The two sides were only three or four kilometers apart.
Seeing this, the giant beast quickly lowered its head and crawled, aiming its back at the airspace where the four mechas were located.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-!!
With the sound of sonic boom, the giant beast released dense and hard fur.
Buzz~buzz——!
However, the barrage-like attack was directly bounced off by the energy shield emitting emerald green light, and could not touch the mecha at all.
In other words, it could not touch the Titan at all.
The technical core of this type of energy shield is "inherited" from the Reaper civilization.
It was just strengthened by the Atlas Research Department and improved with the corresponding technology of the Forerunner civilization.
Therefore, the defense level of the Titan is comparable to that of a space battleship.
So in the previous confrontation, it can be judged that the giant beast in front of us cannot cause fatal damage to the Titan mecha.
At this time.
The three Titans chose to use the magnetic levitation engine to hover at a distance of one thousand meters above the ground.
"They" held the 1200mm caliber Gauss cannon in both hands and aimed the muzzle at the giant beast below. The plasma cannon on its shoulder armor also completed the energy storage and could launch another salvo at any time.
But "they" did not fire immediately, but instead remained alert.
The Titan with the words "Quan·Yi" engraved on its right shoulder armor took the initiative to descend in altitude to approach the giant beast that looked like a four-clawed spider.
This Titan was Quan Ling's vehicle.
As for Quan Ling's own consciousness, it locked the giant beast through the Titan's vision.
Wang Jieran's quick analysis also came from the communication channel "next to her ear":
"Colonel Quan, based on the exchange of fire just now, we can know that the local giant beast in front of us has a considerable degree of radiation.
In addition, the energy cannon group shot from its tail is similar to plasma.
As for the giant beast's protective field, it seems to be generated by the charged cells in its body, or it may be the biomass that causes the radiation source?
But in any case, we need specific samples for research."
"I know."
Quan Ling interrupted Wang Jieran's "incessant chatter", and she controlled the Titan to resist the barrage of barrages and came not far in front of the giant beast.
She sent the 1200mm Gauss cannon back to the mechanical arm on her back, and at the same time, she freed up two mechanical arms to hold the giant sword and then pulled it out of her back.
Buzz————!!
When the palm of the mechanical arm was docked with the slot of the giant sword handle, the plasma force field wrapped around the sharp blade.
In fact, the power giant sword used by the Titan mecha is the prototype of the power sword used by Astarte.
Because at that time, the cold fusion reactor for individual soldiers had not been fully perfected.
And weapons such as power swords and power axes were not as difficult to study as imagined. If the energy problem was solved, they could be quickly miniaturized and individualized.
As for the double-edged energy swords used by the elites and the power hammers used by the ghost-faced beasts, they were essentially disposable weapons.
After the batteries were exhausted, they were either handed over to the logistics for replacement or directly abandoned by the elites or ghost-faced beasts on the spot.
At this moment.
Quan Ling, who charged the power giant sword, continued to control the Titan to charge at the giant beast, and also reminded Wang Jieran on the communication channel:
"Prepare to collect data!"
"Yes!"
Hearing the other party's reply, Quan Ling did not say anything else, but concentrated on controlling the Titan.
When she approached the front of the giant beast, she asked the Titan to bend its knees and half-squat, then used the magnetic levitation engine to complete the jump, and then stabbed the giant sword at the back of the giant beast.
Buzz-boom-! !
The high-temperature, high-energy plasma field collided violently with the biological protection field.
The two behemoths were also colliding with each other, causing the volcano and the earth to tremble uncontrollably.
But the sword failed to pierce the protective position in the first place.
At this time, Quan Ling asked her Titan to move the sword away and land on both feet.
"Roar--!!"
Before she could stand firm, the behemoth suddenly rushed forward, trying to crush and trample her with its own tonnage.
Fortunately, the Titan was able to react in time, allowing Quan Ling to step back and dodge, thus avoiding the opponent's attack.
Of course, the confrontation between the two sides seemed fast, but it was "normal" in the eyes of ordinary people.
It was not like Astartes, who would produce a "residual image" effect when swinging the power sword.
After all, the size of the Titan and the behemoth was too large.
After avoiding the counterattack of the behemoth, Quan Ling quickly made a left knee strike.
Bang--! !
This blow, on the contrary, made the metal knee and the jaw of the behemoth complete a substantial "intimate contact".
"Ouch"
The beast, which had endured at least 10,000 tons of force, howled in pain.
Its entire body was also slightly swaying and swaying, as if it had been concussed by the Titan's knee?
Moreover, before this, it had been hit by four Titans' artillery fire, and its organs and brain had already suffered minor internal injuries.
"Colonel Quan!"
At this moment, Wang Jieran hurriedly reminded:
"The protective force field of the local beast seems to only work for objects with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour!
When you swing the giant sword again, you can try to be slower!"
"I noticed it!"
Quan Ling responded loudly, and used the two free mechanical arms to clamp the neck of the beast, which was still in a dizzy state.
(Note: The Titan mecha has four mechanical arms)
Then, she followed Wang Jieran's instructions and made the speed of the giant sword lower than 120km/h when it was stabbed out.
Puff-chi-chi-! !
As the flesh was cut, the plasma blade of the power giant sword successfully pierced through the skin of the giant beast.
Chi. Chila——!
Then, as the giant sword stirred and slid down, the Titan controlled by Quan Ling completely "cut open the belly" of the giant beast.
The orange fluorescent blood gushed out, instantly soaking the soil, and a large amount of it splashed on the metal calf of the Titan.
All kinds of wriggling and twitching organs also flowed to the ground along the gap pierced by the power giant sword.
! !
The severely injured giant beast wanted to roar in anger.
However, its physical strength was rapidly drained away, not to mention its neck, which was still tightly clamped by the Titan's arms, making it unable to make any sound at all.
In the end, the giant beast only struggled a little and stopped moving at all.
However, Quan Ling still asked Titan to keep his arms clamped, and at the same time continued to swing the power giant sword to "break it into pieces".
After confirming that the giant beast was completely dead, Quan Ling released his arms and returned the power giant sword to the mechanical arm on his back.
And Wang Jieran also said at the right time:
"Colonel Quan, we have obtained corresponding actual combat data through your battle, and found some of Titan's hidden dangers.
But we need more data to complete more tests. "
"clear."
After Quan Ling responded briefly, he controlled Titan to take off again.
She looked down at the corpse of the giant beast that had been reduced to a pile of flesh, and spoke with consciousness again:
"Let the frontline base send technicians from the biology department here to collect research samples. I will ask No. 4 to stay here to ensure their safety."
"Okay Colonel."
After giving instructions, Quan Ling habitually waved his right main arm to the sky.
After hearing the conversation and seeing the gestures, the Titan mecha with the shoulder armor number "Four" took the initiative to land in the woods near the giant beast's corpse and patiently waited for the technicians from the Biology Department to arrive.
As for Quan Ling and the remaining two Titan mechas, they will continue to hunt the local behemoths with a radius of about 500 kilometers centered on the frontline base.
In addition to ensuring the safety of the frontline base and allowing the Titan mecha to obtain actual combat data, this mission is to create a big noise to attract the attention of the current "overlord" of the earth.
According to information provided by the Intelligence Ministry, the reason why the earth has evolved into what it is today is because of the ecological environment and its surrender to the giant beast called "Godzilla".
Animals, plants, insects and local giants were gradually homogenized by "Godzilla" and all succumbed to "Godzilla".
And it seems that the Godzilla of this universe is not a single giant beast, but a race.
However, the Intelligence Ministry is unable to confirm how many Godzillas exist, and whether there is a so-called "King of Godzilla" among them.
Therefore, Quan Ling and others made this move in order to "provoke" Godzilla and make Godzilla come to him.
---
While the Titan mecha and the joint reconnaissance force were completing their missions step by step, four Paris-class frigates had also arrived in low-Earth orbit.
And in the bridge of the Paris-class ship also known as "Leviathan";
"Captain, everything on the ship is normal so far."
"Six giant beasts were detected and alerted, but the Godzilla described by the intelligence department was not found."
Just listen to the crew members sitting behind their respective control desks, making reports in an orderly manner.
Beep-beep-!
However, an urgent reminder sounded from the radar observer's console.
And based on the rhythm of the reminder sound effect, it means that other space vehicles have broken into the gravitational range of the Earth.
