Chapter 379: Kun Peng Beast
The vehicle was shaking.
Luo Yan didn’t even sway, he just steadied himself by holding onto the seat, sitting as stable as a mountain.
At this moment, he was inside a mecha transport vehicle.
Five squads are heading to Changping City for support.
This includes Class Three, Team Four where Luo Yan is, as well as a team of reserve pilots like He Hao, Su Jiu, and Liu Ruohan.
After the battle at ‘Misty Canyon’, the energy of the Guangling Legion had not fully recovered.
Now they can only send out five squads for support, which includes five reserve pilots, as there is no other choice.
Guangling Legion cannot provide more manpower and mecha, as it would jeopardize the local defense of Guangling City.
Changping City naturally understands this.
Fortunately, the reinforcements for Changping City are not only from Guangling City.
The underground cities of Qingyang, Pingyao, and Yanshi have also come to help.
Luo Yan also heard that the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’ responded and sent the ‘Tiangang Dragon Cavalry’ to assist.
“In any case…”
“When we get to Changping City, remember, we are not the main characters.”
“The Changping Army Group probably won’t give us too difficult tasks. We just need to do our best and fulfill our duties well.”
“Don’t try to be a hero and act alone. Follow orders and instructions, understand?”
Captain Yan Wenbo’s voice came through the communication channel. With his experience in many battles, he took on the responsibility of commanding five squads to support Changping this time.
After Luo Yan and the others responded one by one.
Yan Wenbo added, “Information about the giant beast has been sent to you. You can read it yourselves.”
“Alright, contact me if you have any questions.”
“That’s all for now.”
After the communication channel quieted down, Luo Yan picked up his phone and looked through the information sent to him.
The information about the giant beast was confirmed by ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’ until yesterday.
It’s certain that the giant beast moving through Changping City is called ‘Kun Fish’.
Even the ‘Strategy Manor’ has limited information about this giant beast. It’s known to be an Overlord-level giant beast, belonging to the scaly insect category, and is of an enormous size, just like the ‘Land Dragon’. Its body itself is considered a forbidden land!
Unlike the Land Dragon, Kun Fish stays in the sky and rarely comes down to the ground.
Moreover, the Strategy Manor believes that Kun Fish may evolve into a Peng at some point.
Once transformed into a Peng, this creature may gain the ability to travel through the stars.
“Kun Fish…”
Luo Yan recalled the related descriptions in his mind.
In the book ‘Zhuangzi, Peripateticism’, it is recorded: ‘In the Northern Ocean, there is a fish named Kun Fish. The size of Kun Fish is unknown, spanning thousands of miles; it transforms into a bird called Peng. The wings of Peng, spanning thousands of miles; when it’s angry and flies, its wings resemble clouds hanging from the sky.
“Kun Peng Beast…”
Sitting next to her, Bai Chou covered her mouth with her hand and said, “It’s not a Nightmare level, but the only Overlord Giant Beast with two forms should be the Kun Peng Beast.”
Luo Yan nodded slightly, as someone who had faced Overlord Giant Beasts before, he knew how terrifying these giant beasts could be.
Moreover, the Kun Peng Beast has two different forms, naturally stronger than the big cat.
Luckily, this time the Guangling Legion was just providing support, and Changping was not their main battlefield, so they didn’t need to take on big responsibilities.
With the ‘Tiangang Dragon Cavalry’ joining in, these few teams should just go through the motions and come back soon.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days had passed.
The Guangling convoy had entered the territory of Changping City.
Luo Yan was looking out the window when suddenly he heard Yan Wenbo’s voice on the communication channel.
“We have a mission!”
“Just now, Changping Corps Headquarters made a request. The Energy Matrix located on the surface of Changping City was under attack, and their mechas were limited.”
“Luckily, we are on the ground, so this mission is for us.”
“Everyone, get ready to launch. I will send each of you the areas you are responsible for to the command console shortly.”
Luo Yan immediately stood up and went to the transport compartment, entering the cockpit of the mecha ‘Bian’.
He put on his helmet and with the help of the mechanical arm, connected the neuron wires to the full-effect neural transmission board.
Then he activated all interface drivers, started the empathy system, and achieved neural connection.
Immediately, the eyes of mecha ‘Bian’ lit up with a hint of orange light.
The mecha started up.
On the command console, they had received the battle instructions sent by Yan Wenbo.
Luo Yan and Bai Chou were assigned to the Thirteen Area of the Energy Matrix on the surface of Changping City.
The Energy Matrix is a network of solar panels that provide power to the underground city.
The solar panels are large concave light-collecting devices with embedded fiber optics that can move with the angle of the sun.
They collect solar energy and transmit it through fiber optics to conversion units, which then provide electricity to the underground city.
If the Energy Matrix is attacked or damaged, it will cause various problems for the electricity supply to the underground city.
After receiving the battle instructions, Luo Yan activated the cargo bay deck. Looking out of the panoramic window, he saw the blue sky and white clouds. Then, with a light blue flame shooting out from the jetpack on his back, he lifted the mecha out of the cargo bay.
Luo Yan then controlled the mecha to adjust its posture and land on the ground.
Boom!
The ground shook, trees nearby were swaying and leaves were fluttering in the air. Many animals were frightened, and birds flew quickly into the sky.
The mecha named ‘Bian’ lifted slightly off the ground with its feet, its jetpack emitting flames to propel the large shield-equipped mecha holding a long sword swiftly towards the battlefield.
Not far behind Luo Yan, the Demon Mecha ‘Eight Doors’, resembling a white dog, also dashed swiftly like a white cloud following closely behind.
Soon, Luo Yan saw a silver-white array of solar panels on the ground, resembling a white ocean reflecting sunlight and heat.
In front of the Energy Matrix, a mecha was battling against strange bug-like creatures floating in midair resembling anchor ships.
These were parasites on the Kun Fish, the Anchor Head Fleas, averaging over forty meters in length.
The male fleas had particularly thick and anchor-shaped heads, using their strong force to ram into targets with their anchor-like heads.
The female fleas had slender bodies with less distinct anchor shapes on their heads, but had dorsal horns that could emit beams of biological energy with piercing and cutting capabilities.
Right now, the mecha at Energy Matrix in Changping City is being attacked by a group of Anchor Head Fleas, and the situation is very dangerous.
Dealing with one or two Anchor Head Fleas is not difficult, but when there are many of them, it becomes very troublesome.
As it is now, the male fleas are constantly ramming into the mecha.
The female fleas are keeping their distance and using their back horns to shoot beams.
With both genders working together, the mecha is basically just taking hits and has no strength left to fight back.
