SEC Chapter 252 Return to Kunlun Void
Chapter 252 Return to Kunlun Void
The wind and snow were kept behind by the heavy metal gate.
Lu Yan lowered his head and rubbed the rusty copper coin between his thumb and forefinger.
The edges of the copper coin are severely worn, and the outer round and inner square structure is filled with dried black mud.
The scanning beam from the tactical terminal swept across the surface of the copper coin.
A green data stream appears on the screen.
[Identification successful: First-generation Huaxia Night Watchman's exclusive energy code.]
Lu Yan flipped the copper coin over.
He precisely fastened it into the spare slot on the side of the tactical belt.
With a crisp "click," the coin fit perfectly into the slot.
The energy loop of the belt flashed with a faint light, recording the code of the copper coin into the system.
He raised his hand and made a tactical gesture.
The first team of six stepped onto the teleportation array covered with runes.
The cyan crystals at the edge of the formation lit up one by one.
The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting.
The teleportation light dissipated, and the surrounding extreme cold and blizzard vanished without a trace.
Tactical boots trotted onto the dry, cracked, reddish-brown earth.
This is a vast, desolate Gobi Desert.
The information Qin Wangshan provided stated that the outer perimeter of Kunlun Xu was an ice field.
The terrain has been forcibly altered.
"Drip—drip—drip—"
A sharp radar alarm blared simultaneously inside the helmets of all six men.
The tactical tablet screen on Wen Yue's wrist was instantly filled with deep red dots.
The red dots were so dense that they formed a sea of blood, even obscuring the terrain scan map.
Three kilometers directly ahead, the horizon began to rise and fall.
A gray-yellow sandstorm defense line is rapidly advancing towards them.
The ground vibrated at a high frequency, and gravel bounced irregularly on the reddish-brown Gobi Desert.
Tens of thousands of fourth-order mutated armored rhinoceroses gathered into a beast tide.
They droop their barbed metal horns, charging wildly across the Gobi Desert.
Each rhinoceros is larger than a heavy armored vehicle.
"The number is 12,000, and it's still increasing," Wen Yue reported the radar data.
Zhao Leiguang spat into his palm.
He slapped the Taotie belt around his waist.
The dark golden light spread outwards from the belt buckle to both sides.
The entry for the Gluttonous Belt is now fully activated.
He lowered his hands, and the dual shields of the Earth Pulse Set slammed down in front of him.
"I'll clear the way."
Zhao Leiguang's leg muscles bulged, and his tactical boots kicked out two deep craters in the ground.
The brutal ramming attack has begun.
He transformed into a fully armed, heavily armored dump truck, charging headlong into the beast tide.
The first armored rhinoceros crashed into the Taotie Shield.
There was no stalemate, only pure physical domination.
The rhinoceros's metal skull dented directly, and the sound of its cervical vertebrae breaking was crisp and loud.
Its massive body was sent flying backward by the impact, crashing into a group of its kind behind it.
At the moment the rhinoceros died, a faint stream of light floated out from its corpse.
The light streamed into the Taotie's belt.
Zhao Lei's movement speed and armor values on his tactics panel jumped up by one bar.
This is a unique mechanism of the Taotie Belt.
Kill the monsters and forcibly strip them of their core attributes.
The second head, the third head, the hundredth head.
Zhao Leiguang carved a straight, bloody path through the beast tide.
The more rhinoceroses he smashes, the denser the stream of light he absorbs.
The speedometer readings spiked to a speed that a heavily armored protection paladin shouldn't be able to achieve.
The dark gold shield on the surface of the Taotie Shield is more than half a meter thick.
The armored rhinoceroses' horns crashed into the shield, leaving not even a white mark.
Wen Yue squatted on a weathered rock behind her.
The world-destroying thunderbolt is leveled, the crossbow butt pressed against the shoulder.
She ignored the straight line area where Zhao Leiguang was located.
The crosshair locked onto the two flanks of the beast tide.
The trigger is pulled, and the mechanism vibrates.
The specially designed high-explosive grenades scattered in mid-air and fell into the dense herd of rhinos.
Without fuses, these grenades lay silently beneath the rhinoceros's hooves.
Wen Yue emptied three special magazines in two seconds.
A dense network of firepower, consisting of high-explosive grenades, covered the entire fan-shaped area.
Lin Chuxue stood on the high ground behind and to the side of Wen Yue.
She crunched the lollipop in her mouth.
The Blood Pool Howling Staff slammed heavily onto the Gobi Desert.
The "One Blood, Ten Thousand Shields" mechanism is activated.
Her health bar was locked at 1 point, while her shield bar was full.
No mana is consumed, and skills have no cooldown.
Dark red magical energy radiated wildly outwards from her center.
The Blood Explosion Array directly covered all the grenade landing points laid by Wen Yue.
The edge of the magic circle was precisely aligned with the metal casing of each grenade.
"Detonate," Lin Chuxue uttered.
A dark red beam of light shot into the sky from the center of the magic circle.
High-level magical energy detonated the specially made grenade.
The combined devastation of physical and magical attacks exploded within the beast horde.
Large numbers of armored rhinos didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly vaporized by the high temperature.
The severed limbs and broken horns turned to ashes in the dark red beam of light.
Su Yunqing stood in the center of the group, her Yao Guang's staff planted in the ground.
A silver-white shield covered the entire area, blocking the debris kicked up by the explosion.
Xiao Qianyu leaned against the rock, not even having a chance to make a move.
In just ten minutes.
The deep red dots on the radar screen were cleared away.
Twelve thousand Tier 4 mutated armored rhinoceroses were all wiped out.
The experience bars of the first squad of six people surged at a visible rate.
Lu Yan walked forward, stepping on the ashes scattered on the ground.
The tactical boots rustled as they stepped on the scorched earth.
He took a dozen steps and then stopped.
The Void Disk displayed abnormal data on the tactical terminal.
Something's not right about the monster remains on the ground.
Logically, after a monster dies in a secret realm, its corpse should dissipate as a data stream.
But the remains of these armored rhinoceroses remained.
They did not turn into data, nor were they burned into pure ash by high temperatures.
The wreckage shriveled up.
The flesh clung to the bones, turning them into dried-up corpses, skin and bones.
The mummified corpse had a grayish-brown color and its surface was covered with fine white crystalline particles.
A fierce wind howled across the dark red Gobi Desert.
The sand and gravel were whipped up by the wind and hit the armor of the mobile knight, making a crackling sound.
Lu Yan raised his hand, sensing the wind direction.
The airflow around us slowed down.
The wind was blowing fiercely, but the dust it kicked up fell back down very slowly.
The physical constants have been altered in this region.
"Captain, these bastards died in a rather strange way." Zhao Leiguang walked over carrying his shield.
He kicked a mummified corpse with his toe.
The dried corpse was very light, and rolled twice like an empty shell.
"Their energy wasn't depleted by us," Lu Yan said, looking at the white particles on the surface of the dried corpses.
"It was drained instantly by something."
The placement of these mummified corpses was not haphazard.
The explosion and impact should have blown the bodies to pieces.
But now, all the mummified corpses are upside down, neatly arranged on the Gobi Desert.
They subtly form a huge geometric pattern.
Lu Yan took out a tactical drone from his backpack.
Press the start button, and the drone's rotors spin at high speed, taking off into the air.
The drone quickly ascended to an altitude of 1,000 meters.
Lu Yan shared the terminal screen to the entire team channel.
An overhead view was transmitted back to the screen.
Tens of thousands of mummified carcasses of armored rhinoceroses lay spread out on the dark red Gobi Desert.
They pieced together a huge pattern that stretched for several kilometers.
A Western cross.
The center of the cross is directly opposite the location where they were teleported to land.
Wen Yue pulled the bolt of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, ejecting an empty cartridge.
Xiao Qianyu gripped the Dragon King Halberd tightly, and dark golden dragon shadows danced across its blade.
"Those parasites from Europe have reached into Kunlun Mountain." Shen Xinglin pressed down on his faceplate.
Lu Yan stared at the cross on the screen.
He touched the rusty copper coin in the belt buckle.
The copper coin was getting slightly warm.
