Chapter 171 Unsettling Swallowing Ability

The instant the thunderbolt bomb left his hand, Li Chenzhou teleported back to the chariot. Xiao Lu, who was already prepared, immediately sped outwards. Li Chenzhou and the others stared intently at the screen, which now displayed the scene inside the Devourer base.

Li Chenzhou wanted to know what kind of damage the thunderbolt bomb could inflict on the Devourer's base. Although this wasn't a city-destroying thunderbolt bomb capable of completely obliterating a city, the Devourer base wasn't a city either. Moreover, it was detonated inside, rendering the energy shield useless. So, it should be able to obliterate it directly, right?

But at that moment, the entrance they had used to get close to the edge, the one Li Chenzhou and the others had used to enter, suddenly closed. Li Chenzhou and the others were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. In that case, the thunderbolt bomb's power would certainly be completely absorbed by the Devourer base.

Before they could truly rejoice, a small, circular hole suddenly appeared at the very top of the Devourer base, at the center of the eggshell. The size seemed to be about the same as the thunderbolt bomb.

Seeing this, Duan Lei was the first to react. He quickly pressed the war fortress's communication system and shouted into it,

"Hongli, maximum speed, ascend! 45-degree angle! Quick!!!"

Duan Lei's voice was extremely urgent. Hearing this, Hongli in the war fortress above didn't even have time to reply. He immediately manipulated the war fortress to ascend into the air. Because Duan Lei had shouted "45-degree angle," he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to tilt the war fortress to 45 degrees. Instead, he drove the war fortress upwards at a rapid pace.

"Thump!"

Just as the war fortress ascended, a sound rang out. Accompanying the sound, a sphere suddenly shot out from the circular hole in the Devourer base, aimed at the sky, its target the war fortress.

Fortunately, Duan Lei had given a reminder. The war fortress had just left its original position and was flying diagonally upwards. The sphere brushed past the bottom of the war fortress and flew into the air.

That sphere was naturally the thunderbolt bomb that Li Chenzhou had just thrown down. Regardless of whether the Devourers recognized it, their reaction was to get this thing out, and they even wanted to get it onto the war fortress.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou couldn't help but curse.

When he threw the thunderbolt bomb, he had considered that the Devourers might quickly pick it up and throw it out, so he had set the detonation time for the thunderbolt bomb to only eight seconds. From the time he threw it out to the time the Devourers picked it up and then ran to the edge of the base to throw it out, that amount of time was definitely not enough.

Moreover, if the time was any shorter, Li Chenzhou and the others might not have had time to escape. Even with eight seconds, Li Chenzhou had taken a risk!

But he hadn't expected that the Devourer's base would not only throw the thunderbolt bomb out, but also do it in this way. They were directly transforming the base, using the thunderbolt bomb's landing point as a reference, directly forming a circular channel with the same diameter as the thunderbolt bomb, and then using air pressure to eject it.

This was practically using the base itself as a cannon. This kind of transformable life metal was indeed a pain in the ass!

"Boom!"

The thunderbolt bomb shot into the sky finally exploded. The sky seemed to have a sun, suddenly becoming bright and dazzling. The massive shockwave rapidly spread, sweeping towards the city below...

"Snap..."

At that instant, the earth shook, and countless windows throughout the city shattered simultaneously. The buildings around the stadium all collapsed under the massive shockwave, and the rising dust completely enveloped an area with a ten-kilometer radius around the stadium.

Li Chenzhou's chariot was also within the range of the dust cloud. Fortunately, with the energy shield and Li Chenzhou's desperate use of slaughter points to replenish it, the chariot was not damaged. Driven by Xiao Lu, it rushed out of the dust...

"Screech..."

After rushing out of the range of the dust, the chariot screeched to a halt. Li Chenzhou immediately shouted into the communicator,

"Hongli, how's the war fortress?"

"Boss, the fortress is fine! But... the consumption of slaughter points is huge, only a little over ten million left!!!"

Hongli replied. Originally, he called Li Chenzhou "Old Li," but later, seeing that Duan Lei and Fatty were directly calling him "Boss," he also started calling him that.

Li Chenzhou was much younger than him, but Li Chenzhou was both his savior and the true owner of the war fortress. Hongli knew very well that everything he had now was given to him by Li Chenzhou. He was willing to call him "Boss" from the bottom of his heart!

Hearing Hongli's words, the corners of Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched. Because he had to fight the Devourers, the war fortress was currently the thing he valued the most. Therefore, he had directly left fifty million slaughter points in the fortress to maintain various consumptions.

He didn't expect that in just that one instance, more than thirty million slaughter points had gone down the drain.

"Boss, this thing is hard to deal with!"

Duan Lei said from the side. At this time, the dust in the sky had not yet dissipated, so they couldn't see the situation of the Devourer base at all. However, from the fact that they were able to throw the thunderbolt bomb out, Duan Lei knew that it would probably not be so easy to break through this Devourer base.

If they attacked from a distance, they had an energy shield. Even the giant planet-destroying cannons on the war fortress couldn't break that shield, let alone other weapons.

And wanting to blast it from the inside had already proven to be impossible. The Devourers were indeed able to see the outside, so after seeing Li Chenzhou throw out the thunderbolt bomb, they immediately took countermeasures.

"Boss, let me go in! Give me one of those things you used just now. I'll take it in, and then, when I use it, I'll immediately activate my talent ability. It shouldn't be able to blast me to death!"

Fatty suddenly said from the side.

"No! If you do that, you won't be able to get out!"

Li Chenzhou immediately shook his head.

Fatty's talent ability, Immovable as a Mountain, allowed him to be immune to all types of attacks for one minute. This naturally included thunderbolt bombs, so if he took a thunderbolt bomb down, he could indeed detonate the thunderbolt bomb and then be immune to its damage.

But his talent ability would consume all of his mental power. After using this talent ability, Fatty would lose his ability to move. In the past, when he used Immovable as a Mountain, he was always near the chariot, and then he would teleport back directly.

Even if he wasn't near the chariot, Tianya would definitely be with him, and would immediately take him to a safe place after his talent ability expired.

But this time, after going down, no one could follow Fatty, because Immovable as a Mountain could not be shared with others. Anyone who went down with him would die directly from the thunderbolt bomb explosion when it detonated.

"It's okay, Boss. This thing is so powerful that after it's used, the Devourer's base will probably be completely gone. Moreover, my Immovable as a Mountain lasts for one minute. You guys wait until after the explosion to come and pick me up!"

Fatty still insisted on his plan...
