Chapter 299: Chapter 196: Destruction!

Players’ Area.

Adolf adjusted his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose; because his head was small and the glasses were too large, his entire face gave off an extremely uncoordinated and comical vibe.

His eyes feverishly fixed on the Hellhound in the arena, he exclaimed, "Cerberus, go, tear it apart, shred all the enemies standing before you..."

Cheering on his own Mechanical Beast was nothing unusual.

Tang Fei wasn’t the least bit angry.

With a beaming smile, Tang Fei asked, "What’s its name?"

"Cerberus." Adolf turned to look at Tang Fei, arrogantly saying, "You will remember this name forever because it’s going to tear your big toy apart until not a single bone is left..."

"Oh." Tang Fei nodded, then called out to his Golden Armored Kirin, "Destruction, go, take down that ugly fellow before you..."

He glanced at Adolf, somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "Your Mechanical Beast’s name is too much of a mouthful, long and stinky, I can’t remember it. You should learn from me and pick a simple, memorable nickname... Mine is called Destruction, got it?"

"..."

It had to be said, that name indeed was easy to remember.

Adolf remembered it after just one listen, and it was imprinted on his mind.

Destruction? To obliterate everything?

"That’s the name of the Hellhound, it possesses its true name and will also have the real capabilities of a Hellhound, to defend the prestige of a Divine Beast..."

"Hellhound? How is a dog supposed to be a Divine Beast?" Tang Fei retorted out loud, saying, "My Mechanical Beast is a Kirin, now that is one of the true Four Divine Beasts..."

"What do you know?" Adolf scoffed at Tang Fei’s statement, laughing coldly, and said, "Once my Cerberus disassembles your big toy, you’ll understand what a real Divine Beast is..."

The two had only exchanged a few words when the countdown of the artificial intelligence rang out across the arena.

At the referee’s command, the two Mechanical Beasts thunderously charged towards each other.

The Golden Armored Kirin was tall and heavy, every step weighed a ton.

Running caused a clanging sound, as if even the alloy floor of the arena would be stomped into a collapse.

The Hellhound was not small in stature either, but its movements were more agile.

After running a few quick steps forward, it powered off its hind legs with a swoosh, leaping directly towards the head of the Golden Armored Kirin.

Clearly, it aimed to adopt the fighting style of the Mechanical Squirrel from earlier, to gain victory with agility against a physically larger opponent, to strike unexpectedly at parts hard for the enemy to defend.

Once it pounced on the Golden Armored Kirin’s back, it planned to tear it apart bite by bite.

The Golden Armored Kirin raised its shiny golden mechanical arms—eyes glinting—and swatted with the palm.

Just like a gorilla swatting at a plane...

A real plane.

Bang!

The black Hellhound was hit squarely, its body sent flying backward and then crashing to the ground with a clang.

After rolling several somersaults, it managed to right itself and stand up once more.

Its eyes boiled like blood, emitting an angry roar.

Mechanical Beasts were installed with intelligent chips, these brilliant brains possessing extremely high capabilities for autonomous learning and self-correction.

They could study massive amounts of combat footage and analyze and improve upon it.

The Hellhound knew its previous combat strategy was flawed, it couldn’t shred the opponent bite by bite like the Mechanical Squirrel.

It had to find another solution, better to avoid head-on assaults.

Thus, the Hellhound began to circle around the Golden Armored Kirin.

It circled faster and faster, first becoming a black shadow, then turning into a string of black rings.

In the end, it became a black point of light.

The Golden Armored Kirin was clearly dizzy from the Hellhound’s circling, standing motionless on the spot.

The Hellhound felt the timing was ripe and suddenly launched an attack on the Golden Armored Kirin from behind.

Opening its huge maw, each tooth within was made of exceedingly sharp alloy.

One bite could tear off a large golden plate or carve out a big hole on the body of the Golden Armored Kirin.

It aimed for the buttocks of the Golden Armored Kirin, a blind spot, a place difficult for self-defense.

At all costs, it wanted to carve out an opening on the Golden Armored Kirin.

Once an opening was made, the whole structure of its body would have a flaw.

The more openings it made, the more flaws there would be.

Eventually, due to circuit issues or limb imbalance, it could be paralyzed, unable to move.

Closer.

Even closer.

The Hellhound bit at the buttocks of the Golden Armored Kirin.

At that moment, the metal covering its buttocks suddenly shone brighter, emitting a dazzling golden light.

The hind legs of the Golden Armored Kirin violently kicked back.

Crack!

Once again, the Hellhound was sent flying.

Not only that, several of its teeth were kicked out by the blow.

Clang...

The body of the Hellhound crashed heavily to the ground.

This time, it took even longer to stand up.

Adolf’s face filled with surprise as he looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Did you install sensory devices all over your Mechanical Beast’s body?"

"Yeah." Tang Fei nodded with a smile, saying, "So no matter from which angle your Hellhound attacks, it can predict it in advance and make the most precise judgment..."

"How did you solve the problem of nerve conduction?" Adolf asked aloud.
