Chapter 285 General-Grade Armor

The ground trembled.

In the distance, the forest collapsed as an enormous beast slowly approached. Its size was close to two hundred meters, like a moving mountain, towering and earth-shattering. Even after seeing the mountain beast’s appearance in the encyclopedia, many mercenaries still looked horrified.

“What a huge creature!”

The mountain beast had thick, building-like limbs and a long, upright tail. Its body was covered in rock-like scales, and its appearance was heavy. It had a large turtle shell-like yellowish-brown carapace on its back, and its head was like a shovel with a protruding jaw. Its eyes were hidden in the cracks of the rock shell, and the shape of its head gave a fierce impression. However, in reality, mountain beasts were relatively gentle animals, preferring to disguise themselves as small mountains to sleep. They had only become unusually violent due to the influence of the psychic tide.

Adult mountain beasts were generally between one hundred and fifty meters to two hundred and twenty meters in size. Compared to them, the Sunils were like small ants on the ground.

The warship in the sky opened fire on the mountain beast from a long distance. Six or seven electromagnetic railgun shells exploded on its body, blasting off large pieces of rock armor, but not injuring its flesh. The mountain beast’s defense was extremely astonishing.

These few shots enraged it, and it let out a deep roar like a bull’s bellow. Its long tail slammed into the ground with a bang, churning up a large mass of soil mixed with trees. The tail quickly tightened, making the clump of mud solid and greatly increasing its density. Then, with a sudden flick of its tail, the clump of earth shot out like a cannonball, containing the power of a mountain beast. The kinetic energy was terrifying.

Han Xiao couldn’t even see the full picture of the flying clump of earth; he could only see a fleeting phantom.

Bang! The warship’s shield flickered, and the clump of earth exploded on it. Centered on this point, chaotic currents spread across the entire shield, and cracks rapidly spread. This attack almost broke through the shield’s defensive capabilities. The warship urgently increased its energy output, and the shield returned to its original state.

The attack was ineffective. The mountain beast roared and churned up another clump of mud. It could unleash hundreds or thousands of such attacks, but the warship’s energy was limited.

“High-energy concentrated particle cannon is fully charged. The target has entered the firing range. Launch countdown, five, four, three, two, one… Fire!”

A dazzling, milky-white beam shot out, at least four meters in diameter. In the blink of an eye, it swept across several kilometers, easily penetrating the mountain beast’s carapace and shooting into its abdomen at an angle, causing a chain reaction of explosions inside its body.

Boom!!

The sound of the explosion was earth-shattering!

A thick beast hoof was blown off, and the front half of the mountain beast’s body was blown open with a huge gash. Blood poured like a waterfall from the severed area, and a miserable howl shook the heavens. It fell to the ground.

The high-energy concentrated particle cannon was a weapon used for super-advanced civilization warship battles. This shocking shot directly severely injured a hundred-meter giant beast. This was the Sunils’ current trump card. This scene greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, suppressed their exhaustion, and inspired them to resist the beast horde.

“A terrifying weapon.” Han Xiao’s eyes shone, suppressing the desire in his heart. This was a weapon that could only be mastered relatively late. His current level of knowledge could not allow him to learn it. Only by continuing to grow would he have the opportunity to create this level of powerful weapon.

The particle cannon did not retract, but instead began a new charge. At this time, the broadcast sounded again. Not only this mountain beast, but there were also two powerful monsters approaching, and they soon appeared within sight. One was a flying monster similar in appearance to a dragon – the Lava Lizard, with a wingspan of a hundred meters and ferocious scales. This thing was much more difficult to deal with than the acid-spitting Flying Armor Beetles of the same size. Not only was its carapace tough, but it could also spew lava and lived in volcanic environments.

The other was a land-based creature, the Hunter King Beast, like a tiger or leopard, covered in armor-like scales. Its size was only about thirty meters, but it was more dangerous than the mountain beast. It was agile, flexible, and small in size, making it difficult to lock onto, unlike the mountain beast, which was a sitting duck.

It could easily break through defense lines, and its claws, which could cut steel and break iron, easily tore through metal. It was the greatest threat to ground troops. The name Hunter King Beast came from its dominance in the forest. It was the undisputed jungle overlord of this planet. Each time it appeared, it meant that the Sunils had to pay a heavy price to deal with it. The most dangerous time, a Hunter King Beast almost broke through the defensive perimeter and charged into the city.

The situation took a turn for the worse!

The Lava Lizard dove at high speed, and the Hunter King Beast ran like lightning. There were powerful enemies approaching from the sky and the ground, and the wounded mountain beast kept throwing rocks. The particle cannon slowly finished charging and aimed at the Lava Lizard in the sky, shooting off one of its wings directly. The monster fell spinning to the ground, creating a violent tremor.

Flying enemies had to be dealt with first. The Hunter King Beast on the ground could only be temporarily delayed by manpower, waiting for the next stage of the particle cannon’s charging.

The army mobilized troops to block the front of the Hunter King Beast, a full thousand people, but this many people were not necessarily enough.

Endless rain of bullets covered it, all deflected by the Hunter King Beast’s scales, sparks flying everywhere. The Hunter King Beast’s speed became faster and faster, and no attack could stop its momentum. At this speed, colliding with the steel defense line, everyone could foresee the ending. With one collision, the defense team would be plowed out of a bloody path, losing at least two squads!

Each soldier did not waver, obeying orders without hesitation, regarding death as returning home.

Just as the two sides were about to collide…

Boom!!

Dust suddenly rose, and the seemingly unstoppable Hunter King Beast actually stopped. Its bloody mouth was wide open, biting a ruler-like iron-gray metal rectangle. An armored warrior was holding the rectangle, and the two sides were wrestling, evenly matched.

It was this armored warrior who had blocked the Hunter King Beast, leaving all the soldiers with only a towering back view!

Everyone’s eyes widened, wanting to see who this intruder was, but he was wearing a helmet, and his face was completely invisible. This armor was a bit simple, like a few pieces of armor embedded on a tight suit, dark in color.

Seeing this, Han Xiao’s mouth slightly curved.

The newcomer was Melos!

“Sure enough, he came…” The great Technician Han smiled, “Let me see if you are strong enough at this point in time.”

The Hunter King Beast seemed to sense danger, flashed to the side, and walked warily. The defense team was about to step forward to surround it when Melos suddenly spoke, saying, “Leave this beast to me. You go elsewhere.”

Leave it to you? Who are you? What if you fail?

The troops naturally did not dare to trust others, but before they could continue to act, they saw a strong martial arts aura burst out from the armored warrior, followed by a change that stunned all the Sunils.

Melos’s simple combat uniform suddenly deformed, and several compressed armors unfolded, turning into countless precision structures and armor. Accompanied by flashing lights, the tight suit quickly turned into an extremely precise silver-blue armor, like a gorgeous ancient knight’s armor. Each shoulder transformed into a piece of cloth-like pure white flexible metal, drooping behind him like a cloak. Even with the great Technician Han’s extremely critical aesthetic, this shape was cool enough.

Qi Strength wrapped around the whole body armor. Melos flicked the rectangle in his hand, expanding section by section, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a mechanical anti-ship blade nearly ten meters long!

All the Sunils were stunned!

A term sealed in their memories suddenly emerged. Countless soldiers suddenly widened their eyes, exclaiming in horror.

“This performance is… General-grade armor?!”

“The strongest armor of the race that has been lost in legend!”

All the soldiers were shocked! Their minds were blank!

General-grade armor was a myth that was visible but unattainable for the current Sunils, and the myth had been truly recreated today!

Melos twisted his neck. His strong martial arts strength flowed through his body after a long absence, and the dormant battle factors gradually awakened. This tailor-made armor was running well, in excellent condition, and he chuckled.

“I almost forgot what this feels like. It feels… really good.”

With a violent shout, Melos waved the ten-meter anti-ship blade, rushing forward, as fast as a phantom. The thick blade light was like a gushing spring, flashing in a split second!

Swish!

The blade cut out a silver wave, cutting out a gully dozens of meters long. The Hunter King Beast narrowly avoided it, and a bloodstain appeared on its slender body. The wound quickly expanded, and blood spurted out.

The roles of hunter and prey were instantly reversed!
