Chapter 259: Chapter 141: An Explosive Ordinary Episode

Uncle Tai was urgently summoned to Fortress 82.

When he arrived above Fortress 82, the battle here still hadn’t completely ceased, and the Clean-up troops were clearing out small groups of Blade Beasts inside the fortress and urgently repairing the breaches.

Looking out from the window of the transport, he could see the war-torn, continuous sandy terrain.

The craters were the kisses of artillery shells upon the earth, and also humanity’s forceful counterattack against the Blade Beast Civilization.

The heaps of Blade Beast carcasses were either being loaded into containers or burned on the spot.

The corpse of a King-level Blade Beast, massive as a meat mountain, lay across the sand, with several General Level Blade Beasts scattered around it, and a large number of vehicles on the periphery, cutting and processing this giant creature.

Hm?

A certain area below was hit by a smoke bomb, thick smoke blocking Uncle Tai’s line of sight.

Was there something that needed to be kept secret, to prevent detection by satellites?

Uncle Tai’s gaze was then drawn to the space motherships slowly cruising in the distance, admiration in his eyes.

The space motherships represented the pinnacle of current human technology and highest industrial integration capabilities, produced only by the Space Fortress. For the past few decades, they had been hailed as humanity’s ultimate weapon against the Blade Beast onslaught.

It’s just that they were prohibitively expensive, with an egregiously low energy-to-cost ratio.

The transport began to descend vertically, and it didn’t take long for Uncle Tai to realize he was being taken into the smoky area.

He looked around the empty cabin, not knowing who to ask, growing more perplexed.

"Why did they have to summon me here?"

"Is it because my scholarly abilities have reached the level that warrants a private jet? That’s not it either. Those papers on Spiritual Power Weapons are all ready, but I didn’t dare publish them, and even if I did, I’d only be the third author."

"What’s going on here?"

A few minutes later, Uncle Tai got the answer to his question.

It was Wang Zheng who had called for him.

Because he was one of the few engineers Wang Zheng could trust, a big shot in the top three categories of Spiritual Power Weapons, and a participant in previous research.

Uncle Tai looked at Wang Jixuan’s weary face and felt a surge of honor.

Then bring it on!

No matter how difficult the subject, no matter how novel the field, he, Old Tai, had a simple two-word mantra: Must succeed!

Inside a hastily erected field tent, Uncle Tai threw his travel bag aside, and asked earnestly, his voice low and serious,

"Mr. Wang, what is the project you want me to be involved in this time?"

"It’s simple,"

Wang Jixuan pointed in the direction of the other side of the tent,

"A completely new system, utilizing Spiritual Energy to control Blade Beast bodies with human souls."

"Holy shit... what?"

Uncle Tai was utterly stunned, his eyes wide and confused.

Following the direction Wang Jixuan pointed in, he walked to the other end of the tent, lifted the curtain of the tent door, and could see, not far ahead, the two General Level Blade Beasts covered with huge tarps.

The bodies of the two huge General Level Blade Beasts were wrapped in more than a dozen beams of light, with two ethereal Azure Dragons coiling around them.

Both were adult specimens, each formidable in battle, one a [Siege Hammer] and the other a [Thorny Flower], two different types.

The former, transformed by Blade Beasts to breach human fortifications, was hugely bulky and not too difficult for humans to deal with, typically by blasting the legs first;

The [Thorny Flower] had a more slender form, somewhat like a ’Headless’ humanoid, with a body structure completely different from humans.

Compared to other General Level Blade Beasts, the Thorny Flower’s body was smaller, not exceeding twenty meters in height when standing, and it possessed the ability to breach defenses quickly, usually featuring a long tail.

Both General Level Blade Beasts were alive, only severely injured, and also controlled by those peculiar beams of light.

Uncle Tai didn’t know this was the Shulong Formation set up by Daoist Wang, but he was almost certain that it had something to do with Mr. Wang.

At that moment, Uncle Tai suddenly heard a familiar call.

The voice resonated within him!

"Old Tai... I died so miserably... wuwuwu..."

Uncle Tai’s hair stood on end, his face turned pale, his teeth chattered non-stop, and his neck, like a mechanical bearing that had forgotten to be oiled, creaked as he turned.

He saw the massive Crystal Core on the table, and inside it, Red Snake’s soul, standing with hands on hips, revealed by the Soul-Displaying Talisman.

"Big Sister, stop scaring Uncle Tai,"

Wang Jixuan frowned and forced a smile,

"Uncle Tai, there are a few things I need you to do.

"To minimize the risk of exposure, we must act quickly and conduct some simple experiments first. I’ve found the souls of some recently fallen soldiers.

"You’ll assist me, and later we’ll try to see if the soldiers can enter the Crystal Cores of ordinary Blade Beasts and then perform Crystal Core transplant tests.

"All of this has been done with the consent of the soldiers’ souls."

"Okay!"

Uncle Tai nodded vigorously, quickly entering work mode, shedding his jacket to the side, and pondered the experimental steps seriously.

Inside and outside the tent, there was a bustle of activity.

...

Almost half an hour later.

When Fu Jian received the top-secret encrypted letter from Dongfang Zhenghong, he was dumbstruck for several minutes.

What hadn’t the Devil Commander, who had battled the Blade Beasts for many long years, seen before?

But he had never seen anything like this.

Hearing about Red Snake, Fu Jian was completely flabbergasted.

After returning from the vicinity of Fortress 82, Fu Jian had many speculations.

He thought Wang Zheng, that kid, would unleash a storm of Spiritual Power Weapons, Crystal Core Weapons, to bestow the technology of Spirit Cultivator Civilization upon humanity, helping mankind to enter a new era of full counterattack;
