In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 287 Fu Jian’s Invitation
Mudan looked at the small fighter plane flying away with concern.

The commander is going to visit Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian. With the current high-density firepower distribution of humans and the blade beasts gathering their strength underground, the commander is unlikely to encounter any trouble;
But the boss didn't take her with him, which made Mudan feel a little disappointed.

Number Five yawned beside him: "Is this guy going to run away from the battlefield?"

"How can it be!"

Lao Zheng and Ji Xiao said in unison.

Mudan smiled and said, "Based on my understanding of the commander, he should be heading further ahead, hoping to see the Pillar Blade Beast faster."

Everyone smiled.

Wu Man asked: "Can't the Pillar Blade Beasts advance underground? Just like those King-level Blade Beasts?"

"It's too big, and it will bear too much pressure if it breaks through underground."

Peony said simply:

“In the human database, there is no record of Pillar Blade Beasts moving underground. Every time they move, they rise from underground and activate some halos on the surface. These halos can effectively counteract gravity.

"Without these rings, they would have difficulty moving on the surface, as the planet's gravity would hold them there."

"That's the gravity circuit."

Number 5 briefly explains:
“It is also a key technology developed by the Council of the God of War. It can offset the gravity in a certain area by consuming spiritual energy.

“They rise from underground, mainly pulled and pushed by ordinary blade beasts.

"The pillar blade beasts are more like a command system and energy reserve system. They can activate the true combat power of the blade beast group... You will be able to open your eyes today."

Everyone nodded.

The sisters and uncles in the Buddhist temple team looked at each other.

They also didn't expect that the legendary spiritual practitioner would be so easy to talk to.

Teacher Wang’s charm is indeed enormous.

"Eh?" Zheng Shiduo asked in a low voice, "Does the Pillar Blade Beast have primary sexual characteristics? This one is so huge..."

"roll!"

Everyone in the cabin said in unison.

……

Wang Jixuan didn't take the war puppet out for a walk, and he actually felt a little insecure in his heart.

In fact, his original body now has good combat power. Although he is one big realm away from being a war puppet, he can still escape by relying on the escape technique when encountering a king-level blade beast.

The area where Fu Jian was located was about a hundred kilometers away from the transfer point. Wang Jixuan quickly arrived at the military fortress and directly used the escape technique to enter the interior of the fortress.

With superb escape skills and the access privileges given by Fu Jian, the Taoist priest easily found Fu Jian in the command hall on the third floor of the fortress.

"Black Storm has arrived at Command Center No. 1."

Wang Jixuan stepped forward as the electronic female voice announced.

"salute!"

Two rows of the commander-in-chief's guards raised their hands at the same time in unison.

The communications soldiers and technicians in various places in the hall just looked up at Master Wang and then lowered their heads to do their work.

Everyone is in good spirits.

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile, as a greeting to them.

Fu Jian turned around in front of the big screen, gave Wang Jixuan an ugly smile, and signaled the guards to bring two folding chairs and a small table.

"Teacher Wang really doesn't care about the commander-in-chief's orders."

Fu Jian opened the armor on his chest, took out a can of cold beer from the small refrigerator in his chest, opened it with a snap, and placed it in front of Wang Jixuan.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the back as a reserve?"

"Will it be different if I don't join the battle here?"

Wang Jixuan looked at the big screen.

As expected, the information here is the most comprehensive, and there are even some drone views of underground areas that have not been destroyed by blade beasts.

Wang Jixuan finally saw a corner of the Pillar Blade Beast. It should be a part of the spine, with a spike about tens of meters long.

At the same time, he also saw that the surrounding rock layers had melted into magma, as if this body was extremely hot.

This thing is no longer the same as the king-level and super king-level blade beasts;
Wang Jixuan felt that it was closer to...

Giant psychic machine.

Wang Jixuan glanced at the screens everywhere that showed maps of his own troop distribution.

Long-range artillery camps, air strike groups, underground minefields... there are so many things to see, it’s hard to take in.

"What is our tactics?" Wang Jixuan asked.

"There is no offensive strategy," Fu Jian said simply, "There are three lines of defense now, and each line of defense is prepared for rapid evacuation. Let's clear out this wave of ammunition first."

"What about the rear? Has it been evacuated?"

"Evacuate as much as possible."

"As far as possible means..."

"Children under the age of eight, women of childbearing age, and scientific and technical personnel have been evacuated first, and the rest of the personnel have been armed."

Fu Jian introduced calmly:

“The space inside the fort is limited and the area that needs to be shifted is huge.

"When the Pillar Blade Beast is fully activated, any defense line will be torn apart. Adopting this strike-and-run method can better protect our manpower."

Taoist Wang nodded.

He was also thinking about how to place the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Fu Jian asked directly: "What is your strategy?"

"Still thinking, I need to find the core of the Pillar Blade Beast, which is where its soul is."

Wang Jixuan took two sips of beer:

“The thing I made is specially used to seal the soul.

"If we can find the location of the soul of a pillar-level blade beast, we can try to suppress it for a few days and wait for the sleeping circuit to take effect."

Fu Jian nodded slowly, crossing his arms and thinking.

"You can find a chance to try it later. Don't force it."

Fu Jian explained:
“Our real decisive battle area is not here. There is an area in the rear that is more suitable for us to fight. There is also a trap carefully made for the Sixth Pillar.

“The only uncertainty now is what the goal of this pillar blade beast is.

"If it starts to move and charges directly towards other war zones, that would be the biggest trouble."

"It doesn't matter. I brought them a temptation they couldn't refuse."

The Taoist priest blinked mysteriously, and a ball of orange-yellow flame burst out on the back of his left hand.

Fu Jian burst out laughing.

Fu Jian asked: "Then it depends on you to lead it over."

"No problem, I can still do this job," Wang Jixuan asked, holding a beer, "Where is the trap?"

"At the airport where you landed earlier."

"cough!"

Wang Jixuan was choked by beer and his eyes suddenly became a little resentful.

Fu Jian said with a smile: "So I told you not to get off the plane. You can transfer directly if necessary."

Wang Jixuan: ...

My goodness, Fu Jian had almost calculated all his movements!
"Okay, I'll steal your crystal core later, and I'll feel less guilty..." Ang——

Rumble!
A roar of an elephant that seemed to be magnified hundreds of times passed by, and then the earth began to shake continuously.

This place is still nearly two hundred kilometers away from the pillar-level blade beast. The military fortress also has enough stabilizing devices, but at this moment it can still make the standing people sway left and right. The magic power in Wang Jixuan's body even feels stagnant.

Fu Jian and Wang Jixuan looked at the big screen.

The huge spine-like spike structure has begun to rise, the rock walls around it have begun to melt at an accelerated rate, and the drone at the camera position soon stopped working.

The screen began to switch continuously.

The shouts of the communicators came one after another:
"The target is accelerating!"

"Small groups of blade beasts are beginning to emerge from the surface! Large groups of blade beasts are beginning to advance underground!"

"The movement trajectory of the blade beast group is predicted to be our first line of defense!"

Fu Jian said in a deep voice: "Here it comes."

Wang Jixuan didn't reply and just sipped his beer.

Just as he was wondering why Fu Jian didn't go to command the battle, two middle-aged generals on the side began to give orders.

An underground minefield was triggered;
Densely packed red dots appeared on the map. These red dots were like a torrent, countless and endless, filling the radar screen and rushing madly towards the human defense line.

The earth continued to shake.

Nuclear mines have become standard equipment on every line of defense.

However, the attention of most people in the command center was still focused on the rift that had been completely changed beyond recognition.

A huge green halo was floating up from the ground.

The ground collapsed, countless magma erupted upward, the air was boiling, and thick smoke gathered in the sky.

The humans did not waste their firepower attacking the Pillar Saber Beasts directly.

Now the human defense line is at full firepower, just clearing out the tide of blade beasts that appeared underground.

They watched;

Waiting;

Waiting for the peaks to break through the magma and rise slowly from the earth;
Waiting for layer after layer of rings to light up on the surface of the planet;

The pillar blade beast has risen!

Those peaks are connected by a wide, perfect arc, which is the majestic black and gray body!

Wang Jixuan finally saw the big blade beast with his own eyes.

King-level blade beasts are divided into more than a dozen types according to their shapes. The same applies to pillar-level blade beasts. Among the twelve pillars, there are long snake-like creatures, as well as pillar blade beasts that are similar to pterosaurs but cannot fly.

The huge blade beast in front of him, which looks like a sword-backed dragon, is the type with the strongest defense among the twelve pillars.

It has a body length of seven or eight kilometers, and is covered with extremely thick blade beast exoskeleton from head to tail. It has short and thick six limbs and extremely wide soles of the feet, and moves somewhat clumsily.

Its head is only tens of meters in diameter, and its neck is only about fifty meters wide. As the neck moves backward, the width of the body begins to increase rapidly. This structure of large body, small head and long tail makes it look extremely strange.

This construction is also very practical;
If faced with a fatal threat, its head can be retracted into its body within one second.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and rubbed his brows, frowned and asked: "Is its soul inside its head?"

"Not necessarily," Fu Jian said, "Don't be misled by your own experience. Don't act rashly if you are not sure enough. It is the enemy of mankind, and mankind can deal with it on its own."

"it is good."

Wang Jixuan nodded.

Fu Jian leaned back in his chair, observing the battle situation everywhere. He would only intervene to correct it when his commander made obvious mistakes.

The Pillar Saber Beasts begin to advance!
Wang Jixuan subconsciously held his breath and watched the bloated blade beast slowly move forward.

Large lava lakes began to appear on the ground, and rolling black clouds in the sky followed them.

A halo of light surrounds it;
It seemed to be 'floating and sliding' in the air, but its propulsion speed was close to two hundred kilometers per hour.

Such a big monster was unheard of in their cultivation world.

——The main reason is that most monsters will choose to transform when they reach a higher level of cultivation. No matter how big their original bodies are, it will not help in fighting. If they are too big, they will easily become targets and are afraid of being besieged.

The current situation is also very strange.

A tide of blade beasts rushed forward underground, with a total number equivalent to eight groups of king-level blade beasts, while pillar-level blade beasts walked on the surface, running rampant and even a little leisurely.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Aren't you going to attack this ghost thing?"

"Attacking it is just a waste of firepower," Fu Jian explained, "We need to find a way to trap it."

Wang Jixuan nodded in response.

A technician nearby shouted at the top of his voice: "There's a hole in the underground minefield!"

"Emergency fire coverage!"

"Already covered!"

"The sixth pillar is approaching the first line of defense!"

"Defense Line No. 1 begins retreating...all troops set their weapons to automatic mode!"

"The troops have switched to automatic mode and are in full retreat!"

"The Sixth Pillar has crossed the defensive cordon!"

"Trap No. 1 has been activated, automatically sensing the target location! Manual intervention is ready!"

A simple trap icon appeared on the screen, which looked like a trap placed by a hunter, and the trap slowly adjusted its position underground.

Those are thermonuclear bombs carried by advanced mechanical bodies!

The human firepower suddenly became fierce, and the underground blade beast tide was firmly blocked outside the No. 1 defense line. The speed of the sixth pillar blade beast did not slow down at all, and the emotion revealed in its "small" eyes was only cold.

The coldness of a killing machine.

On the map radar, the icon of the sixth pillar jumped into the trap!

Sixteen thermonuclear bombs were arranged in phase and detonated synchronously underground!

Sixteen suns appeared on the horizon!

The scorching light completely submerged the figure of the sixth pillar!

There was an obvious gas tide in the air, and powerful shock waves were interfering with each other. The huge body of the Sixth Pillar missed its step and fell straight down with those circles of halo!

The group of high-level blade beasts that rushed the fastest underground, except for the signals of a few king-level and sub-king-level blade beasts, all other signals evaporated in an instant!
Many people in the command center clenched their fists.

They cheered silently, seemingly having won this battle, but before the smiles on their faces could bloom, the scene before them made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

In the distorted light and shadow, the sixth pillar only sank a few hundred meters, and its six legs seemed to be sunk into the ground.

The halo around it began to flicker continuously.

The huge body slowly and steadily moved forward and upward, out of the pit.

The nuclear explosion just now caused a large area of ​​its exoskeleton to melt, but as the halos flashed, the damage to the outer layer of the exoskeleton grew and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

rumble.

It stepped on the ground again, looking at the strongest point of human defense, and moved forward as if taking a walk.

"The effect is not bad."

Fu Jian slowly stood up and said slowly:
“Its strength is about 20% weaker than it was eighty years ago, and the area of ​​its exoskeleton that can be melted has become larger, which means that its strength has been corroded during its years of sleeping underground.

"The next step is the more critical second line of defense. The middle area of ​​the line of defense is where we are."

Fu Jian turned his head and looked at Wang Jixuan.

He should have acted rationally, but somehow, Fu Jian suddenly regained some of the passion he had in his youth and took the initiative to invite Wang Jixuan.

"Would you like to join an old man like me on the battlefield? Comrade Wang Zheng."
