Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of explosions erupted from the ground!
A small stone detonated upon impact with the ground!
However, the explosive power it unleashed was far beyond what a mere pebble could achieve!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Raging flames billowed from the ground, accompanied by roaring red light, surging and rolling in all directions. Debris shot into the air like rockets!
The color of the flames engulfed even the sunlight in the sky. The shockwave created a hurricane that even Jiayan, two hundred meters high in the sky, could feel, along with its scorching pressure!
The tremendous explosive power of the grayish-blue pebble was terrifying!
Countless rocks and debris flew into the air, and at this moment, Jiayan could see some metal monsters being swiftly propelled out of the explosion's center, scattered in the air!
Many of these metal monsters had been torn apart!
Jiayan keenly observed that around one-third of these monsters could still move!
The explosion below was truly astonishing. A mere grayish-blue pebble caused such a violent attack. Jiayan had anticipated such a result!
The ground rumbled, and those humans who had managed to retreat far enough were knocked down by the shockwave. Some were blown into the bushes by the roadside, landing upside down!
Jiayan flew in the sky, his compound eyes gleaming faintly!
Rather than just assessing the magnitude of the explosion, he was more interested in the specific losses incurred by the metal monsters below. After all, their defense was formidable in his eyes!
If it were an ordinary explosion, he might not think much of it. However, the explosion caused by the grayish-blue pebble possessed an incredibly mysterious penetrating power. Even Jiayan's exaggerated defense was nearly fatal. Therefore, the extent of damage it could inflict on these metal monsters was worth looking forward to!
The billowing smoke filled the air, shrouding the entire land. The rumbling sounds continued, but after a short while, they gradually subsided. Finally, the true face of the explosion's center beneath the earth was revealed!
The temperature of the entire air had risen by dozens of degrees. The weather in the south was not particularly cold at this time, but with such a high-temperature explosion, the entire atmosphere became scorching!
However, the temperature at the center of the explosion was unimaginable! As a creature that had experienced such high temperatures, Jiayan almost didn't want to recall that feeling. Just thinking about it made him feel despair!
The smoke finally began to dissipate.
Jiayan's compound eyes gleamed even brighter.
He remained airborne, enduring the attacks from the metal monsters.
However, the red light had diminished significantly at this point. After all, many of these metal monsters, numbering in the hundreds, had been engulfed by the explosion's force!
Although most of them were only affected at the periphery of the explosion, some were blown far away, while others lay on their backs, needing some time to recover!
Finally, after Jiayan dodged another wave of red light attacks, he continued to see faint shadows emerging from the scorched earth below.
It was a scene akin to hell!
On the entire ground, there appeared a huge crater with a diameter of about twenty meters!
There was nothing in this crater, but in the vicinity of the crater, the entire ground seemed to have been severed by the tremendous explosive force. All the cement and stones had been turned into bullet-like projectiles due to the explosion!
The surrounding buildings became pockmarked.
And beside this pockmarked ground, lay dozens of metal monster carcasses, lying quietly on the ground!
Sometimes, the battlefield was not as lively as one might think!
Sometimes, when you were truly on the battlefield, you would find that the silence around you was terrifying!
And amidst the hellish scene of the explosion, it appeared eerily quiet.
The bodies of dozens of metal monsters lay there, while on the other side, the giant mosquito continued to evade attacks amidst numerous red lights.
In contrast, the stillness and movement created a bizarre atmosphere in the aftermath of the explosion.
"Ah, there are only a few dozen left. Even with such an exaggerated attack, it can only cause such minimal damage to the metal monsters. These metal monsters are indeed too powerful!"
Jiayan had hoped to cause at least a loss of over a hundred metal monsters, but the current situation seemed to disappoint him.
Only about a few dozen metal monsters lay motionless on the ground, unable to move. Even if one or two were lost, it wouldn't significantly affect their combat capabilities. At least they still had the ability to attack this giant mosquito hovering above!
Jiayan understood the current predicament of humanity. Such a powerful attack, similar in magnitude to conventional missile strikes, still couldn't inflict significant damage on the metal monsters. Even after Jiayan had done everything to lure them together, it still couldn't cause such a massive casualty effect!
"Huh, these metal monsters have actually separated. They can change tactics so quickly. Obviously, there is intelligence or someone controlling them! The previous method won't work anymore. Even if I throw another grayish-blue pebble down, it will only cause losses to a few dozen metal monsters. It won't have much impact on the entire metal monster army."
"But that doesn't mean I won't throw it, it's about tactics!"
Jiayan's compound eyes shimmered even more brightly!
The giant mosquito immediately dove downward in the sky!
He swiftly descended towards the ground, taking advantage of the fact that these metal monsters had not yet recovered from the previous explosion, to deliver an even greater blow!
So Jiayan attacked from above!
Explosions combined with close combat, that was Jiayan's current battle plan!
It seemed that this battle would continue for some time!
At this moment, however, Jiayan's attention was unexpectedly drawn to somewhere he hadn't anticipated, focusing on this epoch-making battle.
That was hundreds of kilometers high in the sky, where there was a high-tech object weighing several tons, observing this battle with its 'eyes' from space!
Hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface, it was already in the realm of outer space!
That's right! It was a satellite, a spy satellite belonging to the Huaxia nation!
Its name was Spy No. 7. This was a relatively new model of spy satellite belonging to the Huaxia nation!
Because of the thermal sensitivity of these spy satellites, this massive battle had already attracted the satellite's attention!
In a relevant intelligence analysis system of Huaxia, all the staff at this moment were dumbfounded!
Dozens of people stared at the graphics sent by the satellite, each wearing an expression of extreme astonishment.
These people had not received news of the battle between the giant mosquito and the metal monsters last night. So seeing a giant mosquito fighting fiercely against a large army of metal monsters numbering in the thousands was unbelievable to them.
These people were very familiar with the combat power of the metal monsters, especially in recent days when they had received messages from above, warning them to pay more attention to the gathering of metal monsters. If they spotted a large number of metal monsters gathering together, the highest levels of the country would decide whether to launch nuclear strikes against those metal monsters depending on the situation!
But now, for the first time, they saw a large army of metal monsters numbering not in the minority. When they wanted to report to the authorities,
they found that another warrior was already attacking these metal monsters!
That was another universally accepted new species of creature known as the 'giant mosquito'!
This creature was actually engaged in such a fierce battle against a vastly outnumbered army of metal monsters. This was simply...
"What's going on? The combat power of a giant mosquito is actually so strong! Fighting alone against an army of over a thousand metal monsters, this is simply..."
One of the researchers analyzing intelligence wore a shocked expression.
The others had similar expressions.
Ever since the metal monsters invaded the surface world over a week ago, their actual combat power had been confirmed. It was completely disproportionate to their slender appearance. They were extremely formidable in battle!
Just look at the recent examples!
Huaxia had deployed nearly twenty-five thousand troops in a massive battle against a metal monster army of only three thousand. However, the situation was that Huaxia's team suffered a tragic defeat, while the metal monster army lost only a few hundred!
In yesterday's battle, dubbed the "Counterattack," the Stars and Stripes nation deployed almost all of its weapons and equipment besides nuclear strikes. However, this "Counterattack" was unsuccessful! Thirty thousand soldiers faced just over five thousand metal monsters, yet only a mere seventeen thousand soldiers managed to retreat! Despite being the military claimed to have the strongest equipment and combat capabilities globally, they only caused a loss of slightly over eight hundred among the metal monster army!
Today, after urgent consultations among several major nuclear powers, these countries unanimously decided to launch a simultaneous nuclear strike, named "Retaliation," against these metal monsters, issuing the largest roar humanity, once the Earth's dominator, could muster!
However, during the process of satellite-guided target acquisition, this massive battlefield outside Tan City was discovered by these humans!
One thousand metal monsters, each with combat capabilities equivalent to a normal human army of ten thousand, and if they weren't burdened by their energy constraints, their actual combat effectiveness would be much greater!
Yet, such a formidable metal monster army capable of completely crushing a human army of ten thousand, was embroiled in such a dire situation against just one mosquito-like monster outside this small city?!
Could it be that this lone mosquito-like monster in the scene represents the equivalent of a human army of ten thousand?
