Chapter 503: Chapter 147: The Great Wall of Poop

The collapsing rocks had a moment where they seemed like a multitude of troops charging into battle.

But it was only for a moment.

The kinetic energy generated from the gravitational potential energy was quickly depleted. However, at the top of the boulder, a person and two figures appeared even more valiant than thousands of troops.

Xiang Shan, like this, charged forward with Heaven Hero’s body.

"In my old age, I reveal a youthful frenzy..." Xiang Shan, caught up in his fervor, bellowed, "leading the yellow by the left, lifting the azure with my right!"

As Xiang Shan manipulated his Heart Thought, the second swarm of drones that approached him immediately turned around. Essentially, this batch of drones, which guided small missiles, hovered above the target like falcons and were difficult to shake off.

The second swarm of drones immediately became stepping stones for Xiang Shan’s Inner Strength. The enemy instantly cut off their connection with these drones.

For some reason, Xiang Shan felt that the enemy’s firewall was somewhat strange. However, due to the brief time, his probing attacks were fruitless.

The drones, just like hawks, pointed the way for the Hunter.

Heaven Hero’s body then transformed into the strongest hound. Relying on the data transmitted from the drones, Xiang Shan swiftly mapped out the terrain altered by the missiles, and calculated the site of the deciding battle. Xiang Shan issued a command, and Heaven Hero’s body pounced forth.

At this moment, he, the Heavenly Machine Star, and the newly joined War Chariot were all several kilometers apart from each other.

Xiang Shan planned to turn Heaven Hero’s body into a fort, remotely controlling him from a few hundred meters away, dragging the enemy into battle. Meanwhile, his real body would deal with the Heavenly Machine.

However, it appeared that the enemy came specifically for the Heavenly Machine. After using missiles to restrain Xiang Shan, they also started moving toward the Heavenly Machine.

Heaven Hero’s body kept firing. The bullets spanning kilometers vehemently smashed onto the War Chariot.

Several fist-sized dents appeared on the thick External Armor of the War Chariot, yet they did not break the defense.

Upon detecting the gunfire, the War Chariot changed its angle, facing Xiang Shan with its side as it awkwardly advanced.

At the same time, it tried to launch missiles at Xiang Shan.

But as they moved, the distance between them also closed. Bullets slowed after firing, while missiles continuously accelerated. Only from a sufficient distance could the missiles ensure they sped up to outpace the bullets.

At this distance, Xiang Shan could directly control Heaven Hero to destroy the small missiles.

As for the War Chariot’s Main Gun, it wasn’t a threat at this distance. Xiang Shan could dodge it with his movement technique.

Heaven Hero fired several shots consecutively, and his greatest achievement was ripping a radar off the War Chariot.

Advancing with the vehicle’s side facing him and angling its side towards Xiang Shan increased the angle of the bullets’ entry, enhancing the External Armor’s resistance.

Xiang Shan saw, and even observed several small block-shaped objects on the body of the War Chariot.

This Armor was not only thick but also outfitted with additional Explosive Reactive Armor.

Even explosives wouldn’t be effective.

Heaven Hero retracted the sniping rifle into his lower abdomen and then drew two submachine guns from both sides of his flanks. This was not for attack, but to use the firepower to suppress and prematurely detonate the small missiles fired by the War Chariot.

Xiang Shan had temporarily abandoned the idea of bombarding with powerful firearms. The quality of this War Chariot was very high, and neither he nor Heaven Hero had guns capable of handling it.

"If the opponent is from the Six Dragons Sect, they already know about the Sonicon Blade in my hand, recklessly approaching might lead into a trap..."

"Using terrain... when Heavenly Machine dodged the sniping, he indeed headed towards a gully, maybe it could be utilized..."

Xiang Shan placed his hand on the hilt of the Sonicon Blade.

Several hundred meters was a significant disadvantageous distance for gun Martial Studies. Within this range, if the enemy’s reaction speed was fast enough, they could see the bullets and then dodge. They could even clearly see each shot fired by the Gunner.

Xiang Shan and that guy exchanged attacks, approaching the Heavenly Machine in this lackluster manner.

A dark Shadow was rapidly closing in from behind Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan really wanted to crack a smile.

One hand still supported the sword hilt, but his other hand slid to his own back and then two sticks popped out. Thanks to his long fingers, Xiang Shan twirled the two Short Sticks together with one hand.

Then, keeping his lower body running, he twisted his upper body and thrust backward, just like performing the "Back Skill."

The stick pierced right into the shadow. The long stick actually went right through the center of the shadow. The shadow flickered, and several snake-like shadows attacked Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan squatted down and flicked the long stick upward.

The balance of that fellow was immediately destroyed.

But the structure of the Prosthetic Body of the shadow seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve. It was not flipped over but instead grabbed onto Xiang Shan’s long stick and slid downwards.

Xiang Shan sent the long stick upward with one hand, tossing the enemy entirely into mid-air.

The torso of Heaven Hero also turned back in time, as two submachine guns unleashed most of their bullets.

Although the shadow was in the air, it quickly threw Xiang Shan’s long stick elsewhere, using the force to dodge. But even this layer was anticipated by Xiang Shan controlling the Heaven Hero.

The impact of the bullets caused the figure to be further suspended in the air.

The shadow was hit by Xiang Shan into the sky for several tenths of a second, barely surviving the flurry of attacks.

Only then did Xiang Shan see the shadow clearly.

A strange Prosthetic Body resembling a mechanical octopus.

"It really is you, members of the Six Dragons Sect," Xiang Shan said.

Xiang Shan noticed that this Prosthetic Body had hydraulic shears at the ends of a pair of tentacles, seemingly designed to directly sever people’s Prosthetic Limbs.

Xiang Shan thrust out his longsword like lightning, touching slightly on the enemy’s forehead.

Consequently, the enemy’s falling angle was adjusted again and the Prosthetic Eye met Xiang Shan’s.

It was naturally the technique of witnessing.

But this time...

This time...

The feedback Xiang Shan felt remained very strange...

That feeling...

"Shit Mountain???"

Xiang Shan exclaimed in shock. Out of an instinctive disgust, he kicked away the Six Dragons Sect Martial Artist. Although the Martial Artist wasn’t directly asked to break the firewall, the information transferred by Xiang Shan in that instant caused him to experience a DOS attack, making him stall. He was directly kicked away by Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan felt as though he had eaten shit.

The software opposite him... the software opposite him...

It was really tough to deal with.

Because for some reason, it was very much like Shit Mountain.

What’s termed "Shit Mountain" is a mess of illogical, uncommented, unreadable legacy code passed down the generations.

Systems composed of such code are also somewhat challenging to hack.

Because even legitimate operations could potentially encourage retreat due to a plethora of bugs.

Not to mention illegitimate operations.

And interpreting it with Inner Strength required even more time.

Of course, this does not mean that "Shit Mountain Defense" can gain any advantage in an Inner Strength Battle. Shit Mountain’s efficiency is not high and it is difficult to upgrade. Once a code or a vulnerability is found, it becomes hard for the successors to fix this vulnerability, leaving it open for exploitation.

But as Xiang Shan hacked the Six Dragons Sect Martial Artist using Inner Strength, it felt as though he, a cleanliness-favoring Barbarian, was facing a Great Wall made of shit.
