Chen Yuan's vision was filled with violent energy and ferocious beast shadows.
This was the first time since he transmigrated that he had come so close to death, and the despair and helplessness he felt were truly awful.
The barbed tentacles of the Flower Calyx Beast were almost within reach, the intense red light compressed to its limit deep in the Earth Roar's throat was blinding, a ferocious snake-dog had even leaped up, its fangs aimed directly at his vulnerable neck, and many thorny eels were already close to Chen Yuan's feet.
Time seemed to stretch out, freeze, and everything became still... my foot, it's not that dramatic.
"..."
Author's note: I'm begging for your support and votes! I'll do a 360-degree somersault and slide on my knees to beg you!
Chapter 11 really burst with juice!
Facing death at such close range, Chen Yuan could even see the sticky saliva dripping from the snake-dog's fangs, feel the scorching, fishy wind of acid hitting his face, and hear the shrill whistling of the earth roaring as it spewed energy blasts that tore through the air.
Am I... going to die?
At that critical moment, just as consciousness was about to be swallowed by death.
[Refactoring complete!]
[The core energy system is restarting...]
[Synchronization of Nanoalloy Matrix...]
[Loongson 4 Nano Steel Suit...Activated!]
This upgrade to the battle suit adds three more functions.
1. Five-finger armor-piercing bullet.
The five finger areas of the suit are specially designed to house miniature armor-piercing rounds.
In battle, their fingers can instantly deform to eject sharp armor-piercing projectiles, which are launched using high-pressure gas or electromagnetic propulsion and have powerful penetrating force, easily piercing the defenses of ordinary Devouring Beasts.
2. Protection system, energy shield.
The suit is equipped with an energy shield that can form a powerful blue energy shield around the suit.
This shield can defend against all forms of attack from 360 degrees, including physical attacks, energy attacks, etc.
The strength of the shield will be dynamically adjusted according to the energy reserves of the suit. When the energy is sufficient, the shield can withstand more powerful attacks.
3. Knee impactor.
This suit has gravity impactors installed in the knee area, allowing for kicking or ramming motions during close combat.
The device activates instantly, using micro-gravity manipulation technology to generate a powerful local gravity field upon contact with the target, applying a force several times greater than normal impact, capable of destroying the skeletal structure and internal organs of the Devouring Beast.
……
"Oh!"
Chen Yuan's entire body was instantly covered in nanosteel, which immediately lifted the flight thrusters beneath his feet, temporarily escaping danger.
A foul wind, carrying spores of scarlet pigment, raged through the decaying steel jungle ruins. The last calyx beast, like a giant tumor rooted in death itself, perched in the center of the plaza, raising its head to stare at Chen Yuan in the sky.
Beneath its massive umbrella-like structure, it truly resembles a blooming flower, with countless twisted tentacles writhing like venomous snakes, and viscous, corrosive liquid dripping down, etching wisps of blue smoke onto the concrete.
Chen Yuan's figure hovered a hundred meters above the ground. With his battle suit upgraded, the electromagnetic laser gun in his hand was fully charged with energy. He pulled the trigger and immediately fired a rapid burst of fire. Unfortunately, the scorching energy beams left charred marks on the tough skin of the Flower Calyx Beast, but failed to penetrate to the bone marrow.
This behemoth was clearly more powerful and cunning than its kind.
"Roar!"
The Flower Calyx Beast first let out a deafening roar, then leaped into the air. Its canopy suddenly expanded, and dozens of thick tentacles tore through the air like battering rams, lashing out at Chen Yuan in mid-air with tremendous force.
At the same time, countless small derivatives hidden under the umbrella, those twisted and swift small Devouring Beasts surged out like a tide, screaming as they pounced on Chen Yuan, creating deadly interference at close range.
"Energy Shield, full power!"
Chen Yuan calmly gave the order, his earlier panic gone.
"Buzz!"
A deep blue energy shield instantly unfolded on the surface of his battle suit, enveloping him like a perfect spherical force field. The tentacles of the flower-calyx beast slammed into the shield, creating ripples.
At the same time, several streams of corrosive acid splashed onto the shield, but were also kept out by the powerful energy field.
Although the shield's energy reading on the helmet display had dropped by 3%, the core micronuclear fusion reactor was providing continuous support.
"Annoying bugs!"
Chen Yuan's eyes sharpened, and facing the swarming small Devouring Beasts, he suddenly raised his hands to the sides.
"Click, click, click, click, click!"
The nanotech armor on the five fingers instantly cracked and deformed, and sharp armor-piercing warheads shot out like the fangs of a viper.
next moment……
"Puff puff puff!"
Driven by both high-pressure gas and electromagnetic rails, the Five-Finger Armor-Piercing Bullet transformed into ten streaks of dark light, almost invisible to the naked eye, and accurately struck the small Devouring Beasts that were rushing towards it.
These miniature armor-piercing projectiles possess terrifying kinetic energy and penetrating power, easily tearing through the relatively fragile carapaces of small Devouring Beasts, penetrating their cores, and exploding into clumps of foul-smelling liquid and shattered bone fragments.
The ten small Devouring Beasts at the forefront were instantly frozen, shattered, and fell, as if struck by an invisible hammer, and died beyond any hope of survival.
The calyx beast seemed to be completely enraged. A huge mouth opened in the center of its umbrella, and a highly concentrated ball of corrosive energy, flashing with a dangerous green light, was rapidly condensing.
"Chance!"
Chen Yuan had been waiting for this moment. When the opponent gathers energy, their physical defenses will be relatively weakened.
With a powerful downward push of his feet, he swiftly descended.
"boom!""
The micronuclear fusion thruster beneath Chen Yuan's feet unleashed an unprecedentedly violent thrust. The blue-white, scorching flames were no longer a steady jet, but surged out like a supernova explosion, instantly extending several meters in length.
At the same time, the space around the thruster was strangely distorted, and light seemed to be pulled and bent by an invisible force. This was because the anti-gravity field was pushed to the extreme, almost completely canceling out Chen Yuan's own weight and the binding force of the planet's gravity.
He transformed into a blue-white meteor tearing through the air, swooping down at an almost vertical angle with a sonic boom as he hurtled toward the core mandible of the calyx beast's umbrella, where an energy sphere was condensing.
Its speed was so great that it even left a long trail behind it, creating several white sonic booms due to the extreme compression of the air.
The Flower Calyx Beast clearly sensed a deadly threat, its tentacles frantically coiling back to intercept, and the energy ball in its mouthparts hastily attempting to launch.
But Chen Yuan was too fast. The violent thrust of the anti-gravity field and micronuclear fusion provided unparalleled speed, which even the red energy bullets from Earth Roar could not catch up with or intercept.
Just as he was about to collide with that hideous maw, Chen Yuan made an extreme adjustment in mid-air.
He suddenly curled up, aiming his right knee like a battering ram at the neck of the flower calyx beast, below its core mouthparts, where the umbrella-shaped appendage connects to the massive root.
"Gravity Impactor, maximum amplification, give me... Burst!!"
Chen Yuan roared inwardly, perfectly fusing all his strength with the technology of his battle suit, and thrust his right knee forward with all his might.
"Boom!"
A dull, muffled sound, like the earth's heart being struck and exploding.
The moment the knee mech made contact with the calyx beast's neck, the knee gravity impactor instantly accelerated and activated.
The micro-gravity manipulation unit inside the device instantly overloaded, and an extremely powerful local hypergravity field, whose range was precisely controlled within a small area of the contact point, was suddenly generated.
This blow was not a simple physical impact.
In that instant, the attack struck the calyx beast's internal bones, muscle fibers, and nerve bundles, causing a devastating implosion under terrifying forces several times, even tens of times, greater than normal gravity.
Although the tough outer skin did not break immediately, the internal supporting structure instantly turned into dust, and the flesh burst open—it really exploded!
Chapter 12 Rusty Canyon
"Ow!"
The flower-calyx beast let out an unprecedentedly shrill scream. Its massive body convulsed and spasmed violently. The energy ball, which had been half-condensed, exploded out of control in its own mouth, blasting its mouthparts into a charred, bloody mess.
The thick neck that originally supported the huge umbrella visibly collapsed and broke.
The entire canopy structure lost its support, began to tilt to one side, collapsed, and lost most of its vitality.
Using the recoil from the impact, Chen Yuan performed a nimble backflip and landed steadily more than ten meters away.
Just as he was about to finish off the enemy, the surrounding Devouring Beasts charged forward fearlessly.
"court death!"
Chen Yuan snorted coldly, his hands waving like butterflies flitting among flowers.
"Puff puff puff!"
The five-finger armor-piercing bullets were fired accurately once again.
Chen Yuan was like a dancer gracefully strolling amidst carnage; with each gesture, a deathly silence descended.
In just a few seconds, the remaining small Devouring Beasts were wiped out.
At this moment, the flower-calyx beast's body had completely lost its balance. Its huge umbrella-shaped canopy crashed heavily to the ground, and foul-smelling slime and broken tissue gushed out like a fountain from its broken neck.
Its massive body was still twitching instinctively, emitting low whimpers, but the core of the spirit particle was not destroyed. Although the scarlet pigment was leaking out of control, resurrection was only a matter of time.
Chen Yuan wouldn't give it any chance. He raised the hummingbird electromagnetic laser gun in his hand, and the muzzle condensed an energy light that was far more dazzling and refined than before.
The coil on the gun body rotates at high speed, emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound.
"It's time to end this, Little Flower!"
He aimed at the core of the Flower Calyx Beast's spirit particles, which were still pulsating weakly near the fracture, and calmly pulled the trigger.
"Zzz... Boom!"
A massive, almost pure white, ultra-high-temperature laser beam, as thick as an arm, instantly pierced through the core of the Flower Calyx Beast's last spiritual energy particle.
The core tissue was instantly vaporized by the extreme heat. The last struggle of the calyx beast completely ceased. Its massive body, like rotten flesh with its bones removed, collapsed to the ground, rapidly losing its vitality. The scarlet pigment dimmed and dissipated at a visible speed.
A faint afterglow of energy flowed across the surface of the Loongson 4 nanosuit. The blue and white light of the thrusters slowly faded, the launch port of the five-finger armor-piercing projectile quietly closed, and the gravity impactor at the knee also fell silent.
Chen Yuan removed his mask, exhaled a breath of foul air tinged with blood, and scanned the battlefield shrouded in death before finally fixing his gaze on the distance.
"Just now, the super-intelligent optical brain Dragon Core reminded him that there are suspected human life signs in a distant canyon, as well as abnormal life forms..."
"Loongson, report on the results and energy status."
