Chapter 178 - Chapter 16 Slicing the Metallic Monsters!

The Metal Monsters Disperse, How Difficult They Are to Deal With! There's a Real Case Here!

There was once a troop tasked with battling a group of metallic monsters in the northern lands.

This troop consisted of only five hundred individuals, but they were an "artillery battalion"!

The amount of artillery they possessed was terrifying!

This battalion was one that couldn't find its main force in the war.

After all, there hadn't been warfare in Huaxia for a long time, which meant that while the troops often engaged in exercises and training, there would inevitably be some mistakes in real combat situations. This was unavoidable!

However, when this battalion encountered a group of around a hundred metallic monsters wreaking havoc in a village in the north, they immediately prepared for battle!

Fortunately, the northern lands had already undergone a large-scale evacuation of civilians, and the villagers in that village had long since evacuated!

This battalion was a "self-propelled rocket artillery battalion," equipped with a total of six extremely powerful 130mm self-propelled guns!

The artillery battalion naturally attacked using artillery!

At the beginning of the encounter, this artillery battalion launched a "seal-off" style attack against the dispersed metallic monsters!

However, the extremely powerful barrage from the artillery did little against these small metallic monsters!

Because these metallic monsters were in small groups, the six artillery guns, facing the onslaught of over a hundred metallic monsters, only managed to inflict damage on three of them during the time the monsters charged at the battalion. Moreover, even the damaged metallic monsters still retained some attacking capability!

The red beams emitted by the hundred metallic monsters, on the other hand, after just two rounds of attacks by the six artillery guns, completely overwhelmed the artillery battalion!

In a battle of firepower against firepower, the metallic monster battalion still emerged victorious in the end!

It could even be said that they achieved complete victory. There was simply no suspense at all!

Even in terms of firepower, they surpassed the metallic monsters!

Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, the entire Huaxia chose to adopt a defensive stance, only guarding a few important cities. Before finding a way to deal with the metallic monsters, they would absolutely not engage in decisive battles with them!

In such a situation, the plight suffered outside of those major cities can be imagined.

The whole world was in such a state!

In this era of rampant monsters, a giant mosquito-like monster seemed to have been reborn from the depths of the sea, and tirelessly returned from the Wa country from afar!

No one knew what changes this giant mosquito would bring to the already chaotic situation.

Would it make the situation more chaotic or improve it?!!

Nobody knew.

But in the chaos of the world at this time, anything happening didn't seem too surprising.

Jia Yan rested for a while in a relatively quiet forest near the sea.

This sleep was necessary for him. A night's sleep relieved the fatigue accumulated from his mutation and the slight exhaustion from continuous travel.

Halfway through the night!

Refreshed, feeling more energized than ever!

"All right, this should be the most comfortable time for humans to sleep, I can set off now!"

Jia Yan stood up tall.

His slender six legs were like steel, each supporting the ground, causing it to slightly sink.

Jia Yan's weight at this time, was definitely around a hundred kilograms! And this was still because he was a flying creature, probably due to the instinct of biological evolution that kept his mutated weight under control; otherwise, his weight of a hundred kilograms would definitely increase!

In order to lift this hundred-kilogram weight into the air, he had to flap his wings with even greater force!

Buzzzzzz!!! ――

The sound of wing flapping grew louder and louder.

Jia Yan's figure gradually ascended, and the sound of his wing flapping became louder as well, accelerating at a faster pace!

As long as he increased to a certain speed, he wouldn't need to continue flapping his wings. By then, he could transition to gliding, flying effortlessly in the sky!

However, this flight was evidently not as simple as he thought!

Just as Jia Yan was preparing to fly higher into the sky!

Boom!

A dazzling red light shot out from not far away in the mid-air where Jia Yan was!

The speed of this red light was absolutely rapid!

Moreover, this red light gave off a very familiar feeling!

As if it had been seen somewhere before.

"It's those metallic monsters!" In the blink of an eye, Jia Yan immediately recalled from fragments of memory, the memory of this red light!

This red light was deeply imprinted in his memory!

It was the unique attack method of the monsters from the depths of Mount Fuji a few days ago!

Jia Yan was utterly horrified by this revelation!

Just the thought that something he thought was thousands of kilometers away suddenly appeared before him and launched a sudden attack, would be unbearable for anyone else for a while!

But he was not an ordinary mosquito, not even a regular human!

Jia Yan was definitely one of those mosquitoes that had been through many battles. At this moment, he had a strong intuition for combat, an intuition that could easily enable him to instinctively face some crises without even having time for his brain to react!

Just as the red light was about to burst forth!

A gleam of light flashed in the compound eyes of the giant mosquito!

In that instant, his movement was faster than his thoughts!

His body, flying in mid-air, suddenly made an abrupt stop! Then he urgently changed direction in the sky!

The movement was smooth and agile!

The red beam that shot out seemed like a fiery meteor from underground, but by the time Jia Yan had dodged, it was already right in front of him!

Swish!! ――

Jia Yan saw the fiery red light pass by him!

Then this fiery red object shot towards the vast black night sky. As if it could fly all the way to the end of the universe!

The next moment, Jia Yan's compound eyes finally returned to their normal expression from the shock.

He turned his head back and focused on the ground below, where a creature with its head held high seemed to be wondering about this flying creature in the sky, which seemed a bit different from the weak creatures he had seen before, more like some kind of metallic monster.

The metallic monster observed the giant mosquito flying overhead, while Jia Yan, above, also observed this suddenly appearing metallic monster with his compound eyes slightly flickering, scrutinizing the creature!

This monster was indeed extremely similar to the metallic monsters seen on Mount Fuji!

Its head also had a hollow barrel on top. This barrel was emitting a faint red light, indicating that this monster had indeed emitted the red light just now!

"Why is it here, and what's going on!" Jia Yan's compound eyes stared at the creature, filled with doubt.

Could it be that this creature had been tracking him from Mount Fuji all the way to Huaxia?

No! That explanation didn't make sense!

The metallic monsters had no reason to chase him, Jia Yan, all the way, and the timing didn't add up either.

If these creatures had the ability to track him even underwater, why didn't they attack him when he was mutating?

In fact, Jia Yan even believed that these guys weren't that intelligent.

Then why did it appear here!

At this moment, Jia Yan's mind was in turmoil!

The scene he had seen on the Woguo island before, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, were now recalled by him.

Jia Yan finally felt that something was wrong! That is, the people on the Woguo island. It seemed that on that island, they had started farming, their appearance suggesting that they intended to settle there for the long term, not just for sightseeing!

Jia Yan was somewhat surprised by this observation. Looking at it this way, could it be that Woguo hadn't actually exterminated those metallic monsters from Mount Fuji? Were they actually attacked miserably by them?

But how could this creature appear in Huaxia, thousands of kilometers away? Its appearance didn't seem like it had traveled long distances from Woguo to this country!

Could it be...

Jia Yan thought of an idea that wasn't very comforting.

Could it be that just like Woguo, Huaxia had also been attacked by these metallic monsters?

What Jia Yan speculated was not too far from the truth!

This was precisely the advantage that had allowed the giant mosquito to survive for so long, and also one of his greatest strengths—his incredibly strong reasoning and analytical ability!

And all these analyses took only a few seconds to pass!

Just as Jia Yan was still pondering over what was happening.

The metallic monster below once again emitted a fiery red light!

Boom!

A blaze erupted!

Jia Yan finally realized that the noises he heard during his sleep were not firecrackers at all, but the explosions caused by these metallic monsters' red lights!

Although he was thinking about so much, Jia Yan's speed was not slow at all!

He continued to control his wings, making a dodging movement in the air!

Once again, he easily evaded the attack of this metallic monster.

"It's my turn now!"

The giant mosquito paused slightly in the air, then launched his body directly!

Darting downwards!

Jia Yan felt his body speeding like lightning!

After the mutation, his speed had definitely been greatly enhanced!

Falling from the sky at this moment was like a bolt of lightning!

Cutting through the air!

In just a fraction of a second, with his compound eyes gleaming faintly, Jia Yan made a forward thrust!

Squish!

His right foreleg stabbed fiercely into the body of the metallic monster!

The metallic armor that could resist firearms was completely ineffective!

Its strength, which could engage with armies, was worthless in front of the giant mosquito now!

Squish squish squish!

The giant mosquito's forelegs stirred!

The sharp knife-like chitin in the metallic monster's body ruthlessly tore apart!

Crackle crackle crackle!!

The sound of collision was very distinctive, more like the intense friction of metal than the exoskeletons of two monsters clashing!

Jia Yan's chitin was even sharper!

For a moment, he completely dismembered the metallic monster in front of him!

The armor made of metal that could withstand bullets seemed to have no effect at all, as it was directly cut into pieces!

The metal armor of the metallic monster turned into fragments, falling to the ground...

"I didn't have the chance to see what you monsters are made of last time. Let me take a good look this time

!"

As Jia Yan used the knife-like chitin of his forelegs to cut through the metallic monster, which was gradually losing its resistance, he thought fiercely in his mind.
