Eternal Night

Chapter 209 Our Shells Did Not Penetrate the Enemy's Armor

Wu Xianxiao looked at a snail the size of a three-story house in front of him. Although he had seen biochemical beasts before, he was still amazed.

I won’t talk about the size of this snail. Its shell is square in shape, covered with turrets, gun muzzles, small missiles, etc. Moreover, the two tentacles of this snail can actually fire lasers? ?

The shell is nearly two meters thick, with a dark black texture, very much like tungsten steel, and its toughness is absolutely terrifying.

Moreover, given the size of a three-story building, it may seem like it's moving very slowly, but in fact, its speed is estimated to be around 50 to 60 kilometers per hour.

This can be said to be both offensive and defensive, a definite mobile fully armed platform bunker. If it were in the 21st century, unless you use long-range large-scale missiles and artillery to clear the ground, even if you use airplanes to bomb it, it probably won't work, because this damn snail has anti-aircraft missiles on it!

Here, Wu Xianxiao had to once again admire his title of common man. This title had brought about multiple qualitative changes in his strength.

Five steps away, no matter how hard the snail bombards him, if he dodges, he loses.

Within five steps, the snail was too big to be attacked with guns at close range. As for the seemingly tough shell, it was not much stronger than tofu in front of Wu Xianxiao.

It took Wu Xianxiao about five minutes to find the fortress snail and kill it completely. Then he was picking and choosing while looking for the bounty token. But when he looked for it, he was stunned.

Because when he cut open the shell and a large number of metal parts of the fortress snail, he actually felt a very faint trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth! ?
Although the number was very small, so small that it was almost negligible, but on the one hand, his martial arts had a very sharp sense, and on the other hand, his Iron Smelting Record actually started to operate automatically at this time. Of course, it only operated slightly.

But there is no doubt that this is indeed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!!
If the total amount of spiritual energy absorbed by Demon City was 10,000, then the amount of spiritual energy contained in this fortress snail was about 0.001. There was no way to compare the two.

"Fuck, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"

Wu Xianxiao stood on the pile of parts of the fortress snail in a daze for a long time, and then immediately began to excitedly completely dismantle the remains of the fortress snail, breaking it into small pieces, even the flesh and blood, but not squeezing out even a bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“…Don’t be afraid!”

Wu Xianxiao comforted himself, but he did have this idea in his mind, that is, there are so many biochemical beasts in this world, and the bounty of this fortress snail is only 15,000 tons. There are many biochemical beasts with higher bounties than it, such as the land dragon fortress mentioned by Li Mucha and others, and even those super-giant beasts that are thousands of meters long in the ocean.

If the bigger the beast, the more spiritual energy it has, then isn't this world a natural place for him to practice?!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Now in his martial arts routine, both the Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Iron Refining Record can be enhanced by relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Among them, the Human Immortal Martial Arts can be trained slowly, but it can become stronger quickly after having the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, he has been learning the Iron Refining Record for such a long time, but he has not absorbed even one of the five elements of heaven and earth. The reason is that he lacks the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is a martial art that must have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice.

"If you put it this way, the Iron Refining Record does have some flavor of a biochemical beast, using human flesh to absorb the five elements of heaven and earth. Even though the five elements of heaven and earth are absorbed in the form of the 'gas' of the heavenly Gangs and the earthly evil spirits, it is still the absorption of inorganic matter by organic matter..."

Wu Xianxiao thought secretly, and thought of the fragment of Titan's Heart. This thing is also a fusion of inorganic and organic matter...

Could it be that there is some connection between the demon race and the Titans?
He had already made up his mind to find another giant beast as soon as possible. If there was really spiritual energy from heaven and earth, then he was determined to build a shelter in this world. The higher the level of the shelter, the better. This was the baseline reality of the Zero Point Six Dream World, and the highest level of shelter that could be built was a Level 6 shelter!!
Just as Wu Xianxiao continued to search and tear apart the entire snail shell, a troop consisting of three heavy tanks, five armored vehicles, and hundreds of fully armed infantrymen arrived at the depression. The front-row scouts advanced carefully, while the infantry in the rear coordinated with the tanks and armored vehicles to advance carefully.

“…We can definitely defeat this biochemical beast this time!”

In an armored vehicle, several officers were nervously watching the video footage fed back by the scouts.

One of the officers said, "There is a main stream of an underground river under this depression. This place is also very suitable for building a city with an attached pure water factory. This time, the headquarters supported us with five electromagnetic interference bombs condensed by the super-machine bomb bay. For biochemical beasts like the Fortress Snail that can only attack with long-range weapons, these electromagnetic interference bombs are the ultimate killer! This time, we must succeed!"

All the officers nodded, and one officer flattered: "Major Jia has always been a man of deep thought and careful planning. This time he will surely be able to easily take down this fortress snail. By then, the major will probably be promoted to lieutenant colonel."

The other officers all nodded in agreement and began to flatter him. Some even said that Major Jia could become the head of the security guild for this urban area, and might even be nominated by the headquarters as a candidate pilot for a super aircraft.

Major Jia was very pleased with himself when he heard the flattery, but he was still modest on the surface and said, "Not really, not really. The super-machine backup pilot must have a record of driving a heavy tank-class tank and independently defeating a biochemical monster with a bounty of 10,000 tons. I still don't have this record. The most I have ever done is to successfully fight a biochemical monster with a bounty of 5,000 tons. I'm far from that, far from that."

Everyone present was a smart person, so it was impossible for them not to hear the humility and complacency of Major Jia.

An officer immediately said, "Although the heavy tank has been optimized according to the internal control of the super machine, it is actually very difficult for one person to operate it, and they also need to face those biochemical beasts with various methods and extremely flexible. To be honest, except for Major Jia, I am afraid that none of us here can even understand the 500-ton biochemical beasts."

Major Jia waved his hands and said, "There, there, they are all heavy tanks with good performance. Now they are the third generation of heavy tanks. Their defense and power are no worse than those of 10,000 to 20,000-ton biochemical beasts. This is also the crystallization of our human wisdom, and it is also the guarantee for us to defeat the biochemical beasts!"

Many officers were applauding, and even the more sensible infantrymen outside were running and clapping.

Major Jia was so excited that he stood up and waved his arms, saying: "When facing biochemical monsters, heavy tanks are a must! So... fuck!!" Major Jia glanced at the video footage shot by the scouts in front, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. After swallowing several times, he couldn't help but uttered an exclamation of national quintessence.

The other officers were also stunned, and the infantry at the front also saw the three-story snail metal shell, about eleven or twelve meters high.

A person, who had neither three heads and six arms nor was he thirty feet tall or thirty feet thick, just an ordinary-looking, even somewhat weak human, was actually rummaging around on the dismembered body of the fortress snail.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what expression to use for a moment. At this moment, an officer immediately came to his senses and shouted, "The bio-beasts are fighting among themselves! Drive away that scavenger immediately! This is precious heavy tank material!!"

Major Jia also suddenly came to his senses. He immediately issued an order: "Drive him away... No, detain him, search his body, and do not take any parts away! This is the trophy of the security company! This is the symbol of our victory!"

He immediately looked at the other officers. When their eyes met, they immediately understood each other's plans and began to think about how to write the report. One officer even secretly pointed to his neck at Major Jia, who immediately nodded.

It was just a scavenger, with a worthless life. He was cleaned up right there, and then some rewards were given to the troops. The officers gave them instructions in person, and then they made some arrangements. It was possible that Major Jia had hunted this fortress snail alone...

At this time, Wu Xianxiao naturally also saw the convoy. He was immediately delighted and waved at the convoy. When several armed soldiers ran up from the convoy, he immediately jumped down from the snail shell that was more than ten meters high and landed next to the soldiers.

Several soldiers were about to raise their guns, but in the blink of an eye the target disappeared, and a voice came from beside them.

"Do you know the bounty target of this fortress snail and what its bounty beacon is?" Wu Xianxiao asked kindly.

Several soldiers were suddenly startled and immediately turned to look at Wu Xianxiao. Then for some strange reason, they still felt that the person in front of them was harmless and very weak, so they raised their guns and pointed them at Wu Xianxiao at the same time.

"lift……"

Wu Xianxiao waved his hands up and down several times at a speed invisible to ordinary people's eyes. Suddenly, only the handles of the guns in the hands of several soldiers were left, and the gun bodies and muzzles disappeared.

"You..." The inexplicable feeling of these soldiers disappeared in an instant, and their teeth and thighs began to tremble at the same time. The man in front of them, who originally looked very weak, now felt to them as terrifying as a prehistoric beast.

This whole scene was seen by the officers in the rear through remote monitoring. They all opened their mouths wide, staring at the scene in front of them in stupidity.

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said to himself, "Forget it. What's the point of thinking about the beacon? I'll just send this snail shell to Yantian City. I don't believe they can still say that the snail shell is not a bounty target."

After saying that, Wu Xianxiao strode towards the tank.

At this time, the officers were in complete chaos. Some officers shouted "plunderers", some shouted "reformed lunatics", and some shouted "impossible" words. Major Jia immediately picked up the communicator and shouted, "All tanks and combat vehicles, listen to my order, fire your shells at this monster!"

A voice on the other end of the communicator said hesitantly: "But sir, we have four soldiers next to that thing..."

"Fire! Do you hear me? Otherwise I will shoot you!" Major Jia roared.

Suddenly, three heavy tanks and five armored vehicles all pointed their guns at Wu Xianxiao, especially the three heavy tanks, each of which had two or three main gun barrels.

Seeing this, Wu Xianxiao just stood there, smiling and waiting.

With a loud bang, more than a dozen artillery shells roared in and landed in front, behind, and on both sides of Wu Xianxiao. Some of them even hit him directly in the body.

Then everyone stared with their eyes wide open. They saw the first shell hit Wu Xianxiao's head, but the bloody scene they imagined did not exist at all. The shell made a thud and bounced off with a streak of sparks. Then the second shell hit Wu Xianxiao's stomach. This shell did not bounce off, but directly smashed into Wu Xianxiao's stomach, followed by a series of explosions and flames.

No one spoke, no one dared to speak, and except for the sound of the explosion, all other sounds were still.

More than ten seconds later, when the flames and dust from the explosion settled, the officers heard the most ridiculous sentence they had ever heard since they were born.

"Report, report to the commander!"

"Our shells failed to penetrate the enemy's armor!!"
