This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 125: Gold-Casted Flowers
['Golden Angel, Golden Cast Flowers, Taking Roots':
A garrison-type elite combat unit, subordinate to the Golden Lord's automatic civilization filtering system.

Stationed near regional road nodes, ready to intercept Homo sapiens at any time.

When a Homo sapiens is detected nearby, it will lock onto the individual and enter combat mode.

If a sapient heartbeat is detected exceeding 70/min, the system will enter combat mode.

·In combat, [Golden Angel, Golden Flowers, Dead Tree] will be randomly summoned and [Branches] will be released to the target's surrounding environment. The branches will parasitize Homo sapiens and send them to [Rooting] after a period of time.

Each time [Bloom] is activated, [Pollen], a range damage skill, is released around [Branches]. Every three times [Pollen] is released, an additional [Skyfire] is released within the dust-filled area.

To kill, you must destroy the [Medium Aura Core].

+50% hatred towards young Homo sapiens.

Kill the enemy to obtain [Aura Resonator].

"Grandpa, why does its pollen burn?"
-
"Silly boy, that's called a dust explosion."

Dust resembling golden fragments filled the air, rising from the ground and transforming the area ahead into a faint, gorgeous golden glow. Nie Weiyang's expression changed drastically. He leaped forward, grabbed Tan Xuan, and flung him into the back seat, throwing him into the crowd. He then tossed the miniature nuclear bomb into Xiliya's arms, who was in the middle of the crowd, and slid into the driver's seat. "Get down!"

Everyone didn't know what the order meant but immediately followed it. Then there was a strong impact. Nie Weiyang turned the steering wheel wildly under Tan Xuan's shocked gaze. The car drifted and turned, creating a string of sparks on the cracked hard blocks on the ground. It flew out of the broken road and rushed into the bumpy wilderness!
——If you deal with this thing on the road, you will get sparked and sent away if you are not careful!

"Prepare the acid corrosive!" Nie Weiyang said solemnly, "We are in trouble! Kill this thing before moving on!"

[Spiritual Resonator], since the name of this thing is here, Nie Weiyang will not leave it alone!

The enemy is a golden spirit, so naturally, humanity will not be unprepared. In fact, every participant in Operation Acid Erosion is a master in the application of acidic chemicals—you may not know a lot, but you will definitely be able to use it, and you will be very skilled in combat.

A group of people quickly pulled sealed, translucent plastic bottles from their waist packs. They glowed a faint green; they were low-cost acid-corrosion grenades. After adjusting their arm armor for a moment, the hoses in their black combat suits began to fill with a green, glowing liquid. This was the suit's specialized structure for acid corrosion—

It can increase the efficiency of destroying gold and turn the wearer into a giant acid grenade after death. However, it can only last for one hour and has a cooldown of 24 hours. It also requires the extraction of human body fluids to maintain its operation, so it is generally not activated.

There was a loud roar between the earth and rocks outside the car, and golden arms crawled out from the ground, swaying like reeds in the wind.

Some were more than a meter tall, with hands that were obviously those of an adult, while others were only as tall as the calves, looking like infants. When the car body full of strangers passed by them, they leaned forward eagerly to chase after it, like dead grass flattened by the wheels and wind.

This is the [branch] of 'Qunhua'.

The [Root] emerged once again from the crack in the middle of the road, seemingly unable to leave its original position, like a real plant. But it swayed, and smaller versions of itself grew around it according to some pattern. The [Dead Trees] spread golden pollen from between their petal-like fingers, coating everything with a golden glow. It must be some substance other than gold, but no one could yet fully analyze what it was.

Nie Weiyang pressed the accelerator hard. As the engine roared, the car suddenly began to accelerate, but it didn't drive away. Instead, it drifted in a half circle, running over the mountains and plains of golden arms. Amidst the sound of breaking, he heard dense screams.

The others seemed not to hear, but Nie Weiyang remained unmoved.

——A hundred kinds of martial arts, this is the tactics of the fifth century BC!
Don’t ask, it’s retro!

"Corrode the ring finger!" Nie Weiyang shouted. One of the three people hanging there wore a black and red uniform and carried a backpack!

Everyone responded, and Nie Weiyang also took out an acid-etched grenade, pulled the bolt, and threw it hard!
"Bang!" Amidst the intense collision, a series of muffled thuds, like exploding water bags, a waterfall of green liquid poured down from mid-air. With a chilling hissing sound, the surface of Rooted's ring finger melted and flowed to the ground, revealing a pale white hue.

It was a huge white 'finger bone'.

In other words, it looks like finger bones, but the surface is intertwined and if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a series of human bones hugging each other, forming the shape of "finger bones"!

The rooting showed a strong negative reaction, it made a strange whistling sound, like bones rubbing against bones, metal colliding against metal, releasing pollen again!
Nie Weiyang stepped on the accelerator and backed away, knocking down a dead tree that had risen from behind him. He then charged forward, leaving the dusty area as a flash of fire descended from the sky, plunging into the golden dust.

There was a loud bang, and a dizzying explosion blew the van away. The shock wave, carrying flying sand and rocks, shattered the air, and the vehicle flew several meters into the air, smashing far away.

'boom! ! ! '

The car hit the ground, and with a series of scattered sounds, it bounced and rolled several times, but also came to a safe place.

The car body was deformed, and the densely packed crowd inside rolled into a ball. Jiang Meng, who was outside, kicked the window open with force, and everyone climbed out one after another, gasping for breath.

Nie Weiyang leaned his upper body out of the car window, stared at the swaying [Roots] in the distance, and frowned.

"According to our previous experience, this special golden angel has a closer connection with the Lingguang Pagoda," he said. "The Lingguang Pagoda must be mobilizing its forces right now..."

"Run?" Yun Bowen asked.

"Just running won't accomplish anything," Nie Weiyang said. "This special golden angel might have something even more special. If we can figure out how it connects to the Spirit Light Tower, we'll be in luck. Besides, as long as we can get the nuclear bomb on its ring finger, even three thousand more golden angels won't matter..."

"So, you want to..."

"Fight!" Nie Weiyang said with a serious expression, "Xilia, stay here with the nuclear bomb. If you're willing, come with me. If you have any doubts, stay and protect Xilia..."

He turned over and climbed out of the car, watching the gold on his ring finger fall off, leaving only a little pure gold on the fingertip on the pale finger bone.

The golden angels are tireless, but humans need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep.

If he keeps running like this, one day he will be exhausted to death in this copy!

Nie Weiyang took out a piece of emergency chocolate and put it in his mouth, then rushed up the hillside and returned to the golden ground.

Nuclear bombs, in this era, seem to be just nuclear bombs...

This kind of pure 'nuclear bomb', he also tried it today!
　Trying to restore the update on time at 7pm...
