Chapter 1 A Close Call

These three super-biological puppet beasts were staring at Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, who instinctively felt extremely threatened. It was clear they were coming for them.

Su Mo's mind raced, realizing they couldn't fight here; they had no chance of winning. Since the beasts were targeting them, they likely wouldn't let them escape. If he forced a breakthrough, he might be able to draw their attention.

He took a deep breath, pushed the power engine to maximum, and then entered overclock mode, charging towards the Type III super-biological puppet Corpse Fiend!

"I'll draw them away. You guys escape."

"Su Mo!"

Qian Chengxue's heart leaped. Drawing them away was tantamount to suicide!

The Corpse Fiend opened its bloody maw and charged a terrifying red beam, firing it directly at Su Mo.

Every muscle in Su Mo's body tensed. He banished all distractions and maintained absolute rationality, like a cold machine, rapidly pushing the control stick.

The high-speed Slaughter Blade executed a precise sideslip.

The scarlet beam grazed the mech and struck the snow in the distance.

Boom! A sky-high explosion erupted.

Su Mo successfully closed in, wielding the beam saber and slashing down.

The Corpse Fiend calmly raised its sharp claws to block.

The two collided, sparks flying.

The beam saber's attack was completely blocked. The Corpse Fiend's sharp claws weren't damaged in the slightest.

At the same time, they separated. Su Mo activated the auxiliary thrusters on the back, and the Slaughter Blade mech fled at high speed.

This action directly provoked the super-biological puppet monsters.

"Target escaping, prioritize capture and kill!"

The Corpse Fiend and Bai Ze moved at the same time, chasing after Su Mo!

Seeing this, Qian Chengxue gritted her teeth and controlled the Yuan Demon to charge at the Type III super-biological Corpse Demon.

"You guys get out of here!"

"Sister Xue, there's no way we're leaving you behind."

Tang Yao and the others were unwilling to escape alone and wanted to help.

The Type III puppet creature Corpse Demon violently met them head-on, and a huge shockwave swept out.

The aftermath of the battle prevented Tang Yao and the others from getting close, and an astonishing scene occurred. The Yuan Demon mech was pushed back, its power inferior to the Type III super-biological Corpse Demon.

At this moment, Ma Qi anxiously said, "This isn't good. The commotion from the battle is attracting the monster horde. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to later."

From the distance, mutated players swarmed like a tide.

Xiao Wen gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"Everyone retreat! We can't help here, we'll only be a burden."

"Damn it! We're retreating!"

Tang Yao couldn't help but curse. She controlled her mech to rush towards the fallen Sun Li, forcibly opened her cockpit, and took the unconscious Sun Li away.

.......

On the other side, Su Mo drove the Slaughter Blade at full speed, his eyes increasingly solemn. The Type III super-biological Corpse Fiend and Bai Ze were rapidly catching up on the left and right.

Their movement speed far exceeded that of normal creatures of the same level.

Then, Bai Ze and the Corpse Fiend opened their mouths at the same time!

Su Mo jerked the control stick, and the high-speed mech forcibly stopped, sliding dozens of meters on the spot.

Sizzle!

Two beams of light swept across in front of him, exploding in the distance.

Su Mo's expression grew increasingly grim. Although he had forced the mech to stop and dodge the attacks, he was now surrounded.

If it was a one-on-one fight, even if he couldn't kill the opponent, he was confident he could retreat safely. But against two, he might really die here.

Despite knowing his chances weren't high, Su Mo didn't plan to sit still and wait for death.

He glanced left and right at Bai Ze and the Corpse Fiend, quickly making a decision. Bai Ze was relatively weaker, as its body shouldn't be as sturdy as the Corpse Fiend's, so he would risk it all to kill Bai Ze first.

Without hesitation, Su Mo connected the two beam sabers to the mech, putting them into charging state.

Bai Ze pounced first, and Su Mo swiftly dodged. At this moment, Bai Ze's three tails, like spears, pierced toward him.

Su Mo raised the beam saber in his hand to block.

Clang~

At that moment, a sound of rushing wind attacked, the Corpse Fiend rushed up, its sharp claws swept over.

Su Mo could only raise the other beam saber to block.

Bang!

The continuous collisions caused the Slaughter Blade to retreat continuously. At this time, the Corpse Fiend opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Su Mo.

Su Mo reversed the back-mounted auxiliary wing, using the reverse thrust to forcibly pull away, dodging the bite.

Before Su Mo could catch his breath, the gaps in Bai Ze's three tails completely opened, and beams of light swept towards Su Mo.

Su Mo wielded the beam saber to block, sparks flying everywhere.

However, in the next second, a scarlet beam struck head-on, grazing the blocking beam saber and instantly hitting the Slaughter Blade.

Boom!

The Slaughter Blade flew out heavily, crashing into the ground. In the cockpit, Su Mo's head slammed into the control panel, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Warnings popped up on the operation screen.

"Warning, VLC03 circuit damaged!"

"Warning, frontal armor damaged!"

......

Su Mo gritted his teeth and raised his head, pulling up the control stick and immediately controlling the mech to get up, wielding the beam saber and sweeping towards Bai Ze, who was pouncing from the air.

Clang!

Sparks flew!

The beam saber struck Bai Ze's chest, cutting out a shocking wound. Su Mo could clearly see the dense network of special metal wires inside Bai Ze's flesh.

It was terrifying!

Bai Ze fell heavily to the ground, then immediately got up. Without uttering a cry of pain, the black restraining device embedded in its neck suddenly emitted black lightning.

The entire Bai Ze seemed to become even more violent, letting out a sky-shaking roar.

Su Mo had no time to care about Bai Ze's changes. The Type III super-biological puppet Corpse Fiend was already on his face.

The sharp claws swept over fiercely, forcing Su Mo to retreat continuously.

At the same time, he frantically wielded two beam sabers, slashing again and again at the Corpse Fiend, sparks flying everywhere.

The metallic skin on its body was unusually sturdy.

The beam saber could only leave a shallow mark on its body. It was obvious that this level of attack was ineffective, failing to hit a vital point.

Of course, Su Mo also knew that the opponent's vital point was most likely the back of its neck and vertebrae, but he couldn't free up his hands.

He was starting to think this was unreal. Was this really a monster? The angles of attack, the degree of cunning, were simply indescribable.

Su Mo even suspected that he was fighting a monster controlled by a top expert. The intense pressure was suffocating him, let alone hoping for an effective counterattack. Just as Su Mo was in a stalemate with the Corpse Fiend, overwhelmed, the Type III super-biological Bai Ze, like a ghost, erupted from the side.

Its huge body directly crashed into the Slaughter Blade, knocking it to the ground.

Its three tails instantly wrapped around Su Mo's neck and hands!

"It's over!"
