Chapter 144: Defeat on the Horizon

"Liu Hao, Zong Yu, come with me."

Captain Wu Jin from Class Two Team Three controlled the mecha and strode forward.

The ground shook.

Three mechas, like giants, stomped on trees, spreading out and surrounding Giant Beast Mengji.

Two team members combined their mechas, unleashing a series of fiery pythons.

Unit 12 mystical art: Fire Python.

Flames formed from Elemental Power condensed, radiating high temperatures and intense heat.

Moreover, the more Fire Pythons there were, the stronger their power became.

This is because both team members, Liu Wu and Zong Yu, are using this mystical art at the same time.

The Nine Flames Python roamed around, and the Elemental Power flames ignited the grass and trees along the way. The corpses that touched even a spark would burn violently and turn into ashes.

On the other side.

Captain Wu Jin also used mystical art.

As the mecha’s seal was formed, the temperature of the surrounding air rose sharply, causing the moisture to evaporate, forming patches of white smoke.

Within that white smoke, orange-red flames kept appearing out of thin air.

Flame after flame whistled together, converging into one, forming a coiling fire dragon around the mecha.

19th mystical art: Flame Dragon!

Mengji’s abilities include ‘Ice Control’ and ‘Undead Control’, leaning towards the cold side in overall attributes.

So, both Wu Jin and the team members used fire-type mystical art.

This targeted Mengji specifically.

Mengji was also busy.

While three mechas released mystical art, it also controlled a large group of corpses to form a ‘giant’.

It stumbled towards one of the Mystical Mechas.

At the same time.

Countless water droplets suddenly appeared around Mengji, giving off a cold aura.

They twisted, gathered, stretched, and turned from water to ice, forming ice spikes.

After that.

Two team members’ Fire Python burst through the ‘Anti-Membrane’ and collided with the ice spikes controlled by Mengji’s roots.

Upon collision, the ice spikes suddenly expanded and exploded, creating a series of loud noises.

The ice spikes shattered, but the freezing gusts of wind from the explosion caused the Fire Pythons to disappear one by one.

In an instant, several Fire Pythons disappeared, but Mengji released another wave of ice spikes, preventing the remaining ones from getting close to him.

However,

With the Fire Pythons clearing the way, Wu Jin’s mecha pushed forward, and the orange Flame Dragon immediately soared through the air.

Passing through the ‘Anti-Membrane,’ heading towards the giant beast.

Mengji let out a fierce roar.

Suddenly, a blast of icy wind arose.

In the icy wind, frost gathered into a large claw and struck the Flame Dragon on the head from above.

It slammed the mystical art-formed fire dragon directly onto the ground.

The light on the fire dragon flashed, causing a fierce explosion that blew Mengji’s fur backwards and sparked tiny flames.

After the impact.

Despite the toxic fumes in the ‘Anti-Membrane’, the giant beast’s figure still stood tall.

Wu Jin encouraged, "Don’t lose heart, this is finally a good start, as long as we…"

Suddenly.

A dark shadow shot out rapidly from the ‘Anti-Membrane’, creating an arc and flying over Wu Jin and three main battle mechas.

Landing behind the battle line.

When the dark shadow surrounded by thick smoke was blown away by the wind, it was only then that they saw it was a sky-blue ice sphere.

It fell down like a cannonball.

It hit a machine next to Chen Dingsheng.

The machine, a Mystical Mecha, was busy using flames from its jetpack to clean up bodies and couldn’t react in time.

It was hit by the ice sphere.

The ice sphere shattered, frost spread, and in an instant covered the outer armor of the machine.

Inside the cockpit, a female pilot named ‘Shishi’ turned pale.

She kept reporting.

"The internal temperature of the mecha is dropping rapidly, the energy furnace has stopped running."

"The temperature in the cockpit dropped to 0 degrees, then to minus 10, 20…"

Over the team channel, Wu Jin shouted, "Try to emergency eject!"

Shishi kept banging on a button on the command console, but the instrument kept showing ‘malfunction.’

Just then.

The armor in the back of the cockpit suddenly arched up, forming a protrusion.

Then the armor cracked open, unfolding like petals.

From the ‘pistil,’ a frost-formed ice spike shot out swiftly.

Shishi only managed to scream.

And was directly pierced by the spike through the seat and body, crashing out through the panoramic viewport of the mecha, hanging onto the exterior of the mecha’s head.

Sharp spikes like this appeared all over the mecha’s body, they have completely destroyed the inside of the machine!

Death is right in front of me.

Chen Dingsheng’s mind suddenly went blank.

Then he started yelling loudly.

Unconsciously, he controlled the mecha to turn around and ran towards the Great Lake District, towards the direction of the underground city.

"I don’t want to die!"

"I don’t want to die!"

"Let me go back!"

"Let me go back to the underground city!"

"Please, I beg of you!"

Chen Dingsheng’s voice echoed across all channels.

At the same time.

Inside ‘Anti-Membrane,’ a smile appeared in the eyes of the Giant Beast Mengji.

Even his lips curled slightly upward.

Thin frosty flying discs suddenly shot out, slicing towards Chen Dingsheng’s mecha.

On the Great Lake District defense line.

Luo Yan’s pupils dilated slightly.

In the panoramic window.

He saw Chen Dingsheng’s giant robot being cut open by swiftly spinning frosty flywheels.

Head, arms, body, legs.

Each part was cut into pieces and quickly frozen.

Turned into ice blocks, they fell heavily into the forest.

On the screen of Class Two Team Three.

The life signatures of both Mecha Masters, Chen Dingsheng and Shishi, had disappeared.

The mechas were also flashing red, indicating severe damage.

Just in the blink of an eye.

Two mechas and two Mecha Masters were lost.

Even though Luo Yan had seen a lot of life and death.

At this moment, death that was close at hand made his chest feel tight.

"Shishi!"

Among Team Three.

Liu Hao shouted loudly and recklessly drove the mecha towards the giant beast in the ‘Anti-Membrane’.

He and pilot Shishi were lovers, and they had decided to get married this New Year.

Never expected today.

The loving couple unexpectedly died in battle today.

Lost in emotions, Liu Hao forgot the principle of not acting alone when facing the giant beast.

Captain Wu Jin’s face changed, he yelled loudly on the team channel, "Liu Hao, calm down."

"Don’t go over there."

But at that moment, another team member Zong Yu exclaimed.

The undead giant controlled by Mengji before pounced on the mecha, the bodies covering the mecha densely like insects.

Moreover, they burrowed into the gaps of the mecha, biting off wires and damaging parts.

The mecha kept releasing sparks, its movements becoming noticeably sluggish.

Guangling City.

In the command center of the Surface Exploration Legion.

Standing on the bridge, Di Zheng looked at the battle on the big screen and said in a deep voice, "Let Team Three retreat."

"Let Liang Jian’s team catch up."

Just then.

Radar alarm.

A radar soldier shouted, "Found another two giant beast signals! Will enter the battlefield in 15 minutes!"
