The light-blade arm armor pops out, its particle blades stable and sharp.
The White Night Chaser, amidst the flying snow, straightened its deformed sniper cannon barrel, with azure energy gathering at the muzzle, while four swarms of floating cannons circled around it, and the laser net generator emitted a steady beam of light.
Erica's Storm Shark, the right arm electromagnetic machine gun barrel cooled down and recovered, emitting a low preheating rotating sound.
The broken teeth at the edge of the chainsaw shield are reshaped by nanoparticles, gleaming coldly.
Eight vector thrusters on the back, with blue light stabilizing the nozzles.
In just a few seconds, the six of them were reborn from the ashes, returning to their peak condition.
"This is?.?"
Mark and the others were shocked and all looked at Chen Yuan.
Although shocked, they were all battle-hardened warriors, and the current situation did not allow them to think too much. They suppressed their various thoughts for the time being. Now was not the time to ask questions. Only by surviving would they have the right to know the answer.
"Attention all personnel! The highest threat is the Two-jawed Beasts. Stop them from approaching the base at all costs. Iron Guards, Hellhounds, Mechanical Black Hawks, all units, launch an attack! Target: hold off the Devouring Beast horde, hunt them down freely!"
Chen Yuan thought for a moment, and then specifically instructed, "Mark, if things really don't work out, the worst-case scenario is to abandon the base and return to the Lighthouse."
"Received." x5.
The base entrance opened again, and the ten Iron Guards, ten Hellhounds, and ten mechanical Black Hawks that had gathered from the Lighthouse were already on standby.
Together with the five Iron Guards, four Hellhounds (one lost), three Mechanical Black Hawks (two lost), and the remaining automatic firepower at the base entrance, they formed an ironclad defense against the beast tide.
"All personnel, attack!"
Chen Yuan's eyes were cold; he didn't want to give up the Ark Base for the time being.
The Devouring Beasts drew ever closer, and a fierce battle erupted between the two sides in an instant.
The Iron Guard mechs formed an iron wall, their fixed electromagnetic laser guns on their right arms spitting out dense blue beams that wove together a deadly fire net, vaporizing the charging snake-dog horde in swathes.
The electromagnetic laser sword on his left arm swung like a blue whip, slicing the spiked eels and spiny worms that broke through the fire net into pieces.
They cooperated seamlessly, alternating between shooting and close-quarters parrying, and held off the Devouring Beasts charging from the front.
The fourteen hellhounds, like black phantoms, activated their optical camouflage, appearing and disappearing among the beasts unpredictably.
The splitting ray from the lower jaw, like the red line of death, precisely targeted the exposed vocal sac of the Earth Roar and the energy core of the Calyx Beast.
The shoulder-mounted pulse machine gun fired wildly, depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds, continuously blasting the large snake-dog's bone armor.
The miniature missile pods on its back flashed with fire as fragmentation and high-explosive armor-piercing rounds rained down in dense areas, creating a bloodbath.
Their alloy claws and high-voltage electric shocks made the approaching Devouring Beasts experience what it means to be paralyzed and torn apart.
The pheromone jammer caused chaos among the Devouring Beasts in some areas, causing them to tear each other apart.
Chapter 87 Laser Divine Light Cannon Destroyer
Thirteen mechanical black hawks, like silent grim reapers, circled above the battlefield.
The piercing beam from the beak, as precise as a scalpel, silently penetrated the core of the fertilized cavity on the back of the salamander, exposing the salamander's vital neck.
Electromagnetic pulse rays frequently swept across the eyes, paralyzing the spiny eel's bone spike projectiles and the calyx beast's energy condensation organs.
They swooped down, their sharp alloy wings like razors, slicing through the tendons of the large Devouring Beasts.
The grappling hook shoots out, catching any salamanders attempting to ambush, then slamming them to the ground or throwing them into the horde.
Sonic bombs and flashbangs were continuously dropped from the abdomen, creating chaos and dizziness.
They are the perfect eyes and ears of Loongson, sharing battlefield information with all combat units in real time.
However, under the oppressive power of the Two-jawed Beast, the beast tide became ferocious and fearless.
The blue energy beams of the Calyx Beast, the red energy pulses of the Earth Roar, the bone spikes of the Spiny Eel, and the corrosive attack launched by the Poison Beast's minions... poured down on the steel defense line like a torrential rain.
The Iron Guardian mech's energy shield flickered under the concentrated fire before shattering. The thick armor was melted through by the energy beams and corroded by the concentrated acid.
A steel guard was pounced on by several large snake-dogs, and an electromagnetic laser sword was wildly swung, but it was quickly overwhelmed.
The Hellhounds' optical camouflage failed under continuous attacks and energy fluctuations, exposing them and immediately making them prime targets. The roar of the pulse machine gun gradually weakened and eventually went out.
The mechanical black eagle was hit by the calyx beast's anti-air energy beam and fell like a kite with a broken string, billowing black smoke.
The defensive line was rapidly collapsing and gradually becoming unable to hold on.
The six members of the Shadow Squad, like six sharp knives, charged fiercely towards the two double-jawed beasts that resembled moving mountains, led by Mark.
They knew that without addressing these two core issues, no amount of Iron Guards and mechanical units would be more of a delaying tactic.
"cover me!"
Mark yelled, and the End Watcher unleashed its maximum speed, dragging its dark gold greatsword behind it, aiming directly at the relatively vulnerable joint of the left-handed beast.
The Annihilation Shoulder Cannon fired wildly, and high-concentration ion bombs slammed into the Dimejaw Beast's thick bone armor, exploding into a blinding burst of ion sparks.
"Open it for me!"
The giant sword slashed down fiercely, carrying the residual force of the earth-shattering impact.
"clang!"
A deafening clang of metal rang in Mark's ears, sparks flying everywhere, but the greatsword only left a deep gash on the obsidian-like bone armor.
The recoil caused Mark's arms to go slightly numb, even though he was fully covered in the mecha, and he staggered back a few steps along with the mecha.
The Beast merely swayed slightly, its massive jaws opening and closing, emitting a mocking growl. An invisible shockwave spread out, sending Mark flying as he approached.
"I'll try to freeze them."
Ran Bing pushed the energy of the Ice Crystal Cannon Shield to its limit, firing an overloaded freezing projectile at the giant jaws of the Twin-jawed Beast.
However, there seemed to be an invisible force field around that giant mouth. The freezing bomb exploded a few meters away, and the chilling cold air only slowed the movements of the two-jawed beast by half a second.
Upon seeing this, Ran Bing switched the four floating cannons to sniper mode, focusing their icy blue beams at the joint gaps, but the beams were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, leaving only a faint white frost on the surface of the bone armor.
"Try my grand feast!"
MoCity's Hive Tactical Shoulder Cannons unleashed their full firepower, raining down high-explosive shells, electromagnetic pulse shells, and shockwave shells on the head and legs of the Dimejaw Beast.
The explosion's flames engulfed half of its head, electromagnetic pulses attempted to disrupt its internal energy circulation, and the intense light from the blast wave tried to confuse its senses.
Unfortunately, the firelight faded, the Beast's bone armor remained, and its movements had become even more ferocious.
It suddenly raised its giant foot and stomped towards Mo City like a pillar of heaven.
Mo Cheng narrowly escaped by using the recoil of his assault rifle to ricochet off, leaving a deep crater where he had been standing. He was still shaken; he had almost died.
Feixue found an excellent sniping spot, and charged the electromagnetic railgun to its maximum.
Targeted strike: the suspected core location deep within the jaws of the two-jawed beast.
"call out!"
A condensed blue beam of light tore through the air and hit its target precisely.
However, after penetrating several meters into the giant mouth, the beam seemed to hit an energy barrier and exploded, leaving only a charred patch on the inner wall of the double-jawed beast's mouth, which prompted it to let out an even angrier roar.
A powerful mental shock rebounded from the sniper's trajectory, causing Feixue to grunt as her helmet visor flickered, nearly resulting in serious injury.
"A shark is gnawing on a bone!"
Activating ground-hugging flight mode, Erica circled around the legs of the two-jawed beast on the right and fired wildly.
The armor-piercing bullets from the dual-arm electromagnetic railguns were like a metal storm, clanging and clattering against the hard bone armor, sending up countless sparks but failing to penetrate more than three inches.
She attempted to cut his ankle tendons with a chainsaw shield, but the high-frequency chainsaw rubbed against the bone armor, producing a piercing scream and blinding sparks, leaving only shallow scratches.
The two-jawed beast impatiently swung its leg, like kicking a pebble, sending Erica and her mech flying and crashing into a pile of rubble.
If Captain Mark hadn't stepped in to save Erica, the situation would have been even worse.
"Won't it have much effect?"
Like a silver lightning bolt, Chen Yuan pushed the Loongson 7 to its limits, his spiral impact drill arm slamming into the gap in the double-jawed beast's knee joint.
Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sound and flying bone fragments, it somehow managed to penetrate half a meter deep.
The two-jawed beast, in pain, immediately let out a deafening roar.
Chen Yuan quickly retreated, while simultaneously unleashing a barrage of attacks—palm cannons, five-finger armor-piercing bullets, high-temperature flames, quantum pulse rays—like a storm—onto the wound that had been drilled out.
Blood and flesh splattered, bones and armor shattered.
Deep within the wound, however, was revealed an incredibly tough, thick layer of flesh armor (a mixture of muscle and energy tissue) that shimmered with energy. The high-energy beam from the palm cannon struck it, leaving only scorch marks.
Although quantum pulse rays have the strongest penetrating power, they only caused a slight disruption to the energy flow in that area and failed to reach the deeper core.
The two-jawed beast was completely enraged, and its huge mouth, accompanied by a foul stench, lunged at Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan narrowly escaped by using the vector nozzles to change direction at the limit of his flight speed.
The alarm bells from Loongson are like a death knell.
"The Shadow Squad has consumed over 85% of its energy, the Iron Guard units have lost over 70%, the Hellhounds have lost 70%, the Mechanical Black Hawks have lost 80%, the base entrance defensive firing points have been destroyed 60%, the Twinjaw Beasts' vital signs have decreased by less than 10%, and the probability of the beast tide breaking through the defense line is 97%. Mr. Chen, please prepare for the situation."
Despite exhausting all their strength and using every means at their disposal, they couldn't even manage to severely injure one of its heads.
Its defensive power is almost on par with that of a monarch; it's terrifying.
Is there no way to break this deadlock?
Chen Yuan stared intently at the system panel—thanks to the relentless fighting of Iron Guard, Hellhound, and Mechanical Black Hawk, and his own frenzied output, his survival points had been steadily increasing during the intense battle, now totaling 734,820 points.
Seven hundred thousand is enough; enough to exchange for that technological item.
"System, open the shop and immediately exchange for the Laser Divine Light Destroyer. Deploy it on the base entrance elevator platform. Lock onto the two Twin-jawed Beasts. Execute immediately!"
Chen Yuan quickly said in his mind.
Chapter 88 A Real Loss
"Okay, host, the system shop has been opened. To exchange for the 'Laser Divine Light Destroyer', you need to spend 700,000 survival points. Confirm?"
"Confirmed, immediately, execute right away."
Chen Yuan's heart was bleeding. He had suffered a huge loss this time, a massive loss!
After the exchange was successful, a deep, resonant sound suddenly came from the depths of the base, as if it were the sound of energy gathering from ancient times.
The massive elevator platform at the entrance suddenly rose, and in the center of the platform, a gigantic, futuristic-looking cannon slowly rose up.
