Chapter 132: Chapter 87: Nuclear Blast Young King Worm! _3

A Blade Beast, eight meters long, resembling a caterpillar and with its limbs completely degenerated, was now at the very bottom of the cavity.

Around it were hundreds of mid-level Blade Beasts, tirelessly slicing through solid rock with their blade limbs.

Just then, green orbs of light burst forth from all directions, aggressively shooting towards Lingtong!

Lingtong, cool and collected, triggered the ammo pods on both sides of her Blade Armor’s back, launching two missiles as thick as an adult’s arm, trailing tail flames. They locked onto the Young King Worm’s life signals, shape, and Crystal Core’s Spiritual Energy fluctuations, spiraling downwards in the cavity.

The rope hanging from the back of Lingtong’s armor suddenly tugged!

She was yanked backwards, flying away from a barrage of light bullets. Taking advantage of the momentum, she turned around, fully controlling the thrusters on her armor’s back, maximizing the collision protection shield.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Deep Sea kept shouting, already carrying Zheng Shiduo on his back, while he and Red Snake waited at the straight passage’s end, anxiously watching the entrance of the rock crack.

Lingtong stumbled out.

Red Snake and Deep Sea simultaneously activated the thrusters on their Mechas’ backs. Once Lingtong reached them, they grabbed her mechanical arms from both sides, the three-meter-tall armors bursting with even stronger thrust.

Boom!

An explosion erupted behind them, directly destroying the passage.

But that was far from enough.

As they sped outwards, the passages they passed through began collapsing one after another.

This was the best barrier against the nuclear energy from the rock layers!

"Gulp—"

Wang Jixuan suddenly heard a mournful cry.

He felt it, a powerful energy being released underground, the desert strata ready for the impact of this energy.

But the sturdy earth, this planet’s rocky crust, to such ticklish impact, did not respond excessively, merely causing a slight tremor in the nearby area a few times.

Zzzt!

"Mission complete, our squad has retreated, equipment damaged and needs maintenance," Lingtong’s voice sounded, "Please confirm the target’s survival status."

"Good!" Dongfang Zhenghong clenched his fist and shouted, stirring up excitement inside the command vehicle.

Wang Jixuan removed his now dysfunctional holographic helmet, just about to respond to Zhou Zhengde next to him, who clenched his fist and growled excitedly, but suddenly frowned.

He and Wu Man simultaneously closed their eyes.

This time, there was no pigeon-like call, but, both of them saw simultaneously, a giant vertical pupil rising slowly from underground, staring at them...

No, not staring at them.

But gazing in this direction, behind the command vehicle... towards the location of Fortress 76.

The vertical pupil slowly dissipated as it ascended, streams of pure Spiritual Energy released into the earth.

And at this moment, both Wang Jixuan and Wu Man almost simultaneously had a realization in their hearts; it was the mental will of the Young King Worm, and this will was simple. In human language, it was just four words.

[Cease].

[Exterminate].

Cease? Cease what? And what to exterminate?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to cross Wang Jixuan’s mind. He abruptly looked up, realizing the answer to a problem that had troubled him for a long time.

Fortress 76, Lower City has a higher concentration of Spiritual Energy than Upper City, and the deeper one goes, the higher the concentration!

Black Fire Gang had conducted Blade Beast organ cultivation experiments for Professor Zhuang, massively producing Blade Beast organs, supplying them to Wanli Gold Gang as recipe soil!

The Blade Beasts attacking the mine had come from unknown origins, bearing no markings, and they seemed not to be from the Blade Beast Group on the border!

There were also what Lingtong mentioned... in the Sari Desert, there had to be a nest, the Young King Worm’s first mission was to build a new colony, a typical trick of the Blade Beast Group to break through human defenses, and their later mission would be to find and destroy this nest...

If, if this nest was in...

’Gulp—’

’Gulp—’

’Gulp—’

Several much weaker sounds emerged at the same time, sub-general level, not yet fully mature, fixed in position, responding to the last command of the Young King Worm.

Cease breeding;

Exterminate humans.

Wang Jixuan instinctively clenched his fists, taking two steps forward to face Dongfang Zhenghong.

"Listen to me!"

...
