Last Totem Novel - Chapter 527
Chapter 527 Chase After
The night sky was dotted with starlight. On the desolate Gobi Desert, a black viper roamed between gravel and weeds, spitting out bright red messages, searching for the scent of prey. Its main foods are gerbils, red earth lizards, rock rabbits, gobi scorpions, and various desert beetles, occasionally catching one or two dumb sparrows.
“Swoosh …” As the snake letter swallowed, the flow of air suddenly became strange. It raised its head vigilantly and waved its tail at high frequency, making a warning sound.
A few seconds later, a meteor dragged a long tail flame through the sky.
“Aggressive!” The deafening sound of the powerful jet blew through the ground, causing dust and sand to billow. Following that, several meteors flew past in succession. The withered grass leaves were swept into the air, spinning and scattering in all directions.
Adder was frightened and hurriedly went into the bushes beside him. At this time, several streaks of light flashed past, and they were like a meteor shower in the night sky.
“Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty
“Cover me!” Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, in order to prevent them from catching up to the slower Tie Ling, Tie Zha, who was flying a thousand meters away from the stronghold, drew a circle in the air and flew backwards.
If he was wearing an ordinary mechanical power armor, he definitely wouldn’t dare to charge forward. However, he was wearing a heavily-built Wilderness Knight. Whether it was power output or defense, he was several times more powerful than an ordinary mechanical power armor. In addition, his physical fitness was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and he possessed an extremely strong earthquake resistance ability. Even if he collided with a few rockets in a row, he would not be seriously injured.
Among the Dynamo-Armored Warriors, there are two very important physique parameters, namely, “seismic tolerance” and “ultimate seismic tolerance”.
Although the outer shell of the power armor was made of alloy and could withstand far more shockwaves than the human body, the human inside the power armor was still a body of flesh and blood. A single rocket might not be able to pierce through the power armor, but the tremendous shock caused by the explosion was enough to cause fatal damage to the humans inside.
Therefore, improving the cushioning ability of the power armor and enhancing the anti-seismic ability of human beings are two major topics in the development of the power armor.
In terms of earthquake resistance, insecticides have a natural advantage. Their physiques were generally tough, and their vitality was tenacious. When they wore mechanical power armor, they could withstand tremendous damage. However, mechanical power armor also had the disadvantage of being cumbersome. Just the power furnace alone was close to twenty kilograms. Adding on all the steel armor and pipelines, it was easy to exceed sixty kilograms.
Psionic energy practitioners below rank seven had shock resistance similar to that of ordinary humans. All they needed was an explosive rocket to knock them out of their wits for half a day. However, psionic power armors were generally light and agile. Even the heaviest ones were only about 25 kilograms. In addition to their strong endurance, rockets were usually difficult to hit.
Compared to the two, the Bug Transformation Mechanical Armored Warrior was like an ancient heavily armored cavalry. Its endurance was weak, but its impact was strong, making it suitable for frontal assaults. Psionic warriors, on the other hand, were more like light cavalry, with strong endurance and insufficient impact, making them suitable for wandering battles.
However, if the two were to fight, they would be on par.
Psionic warriors had the advantage of being able to cut through armor made of alloys with their psionic melee weapons. Bug warriors could only rely on blunt weapons such as hammers and sticks from conventional cold weapons to strike the armor, causing trembling damage. Unless they were extremely powerful, such as Tie Zha and the Black Pig King, they could use conventional cold weapons to break through the joints of the power armor.
However, Bug warriors also had a physical advantage. Being stabbed a few times wouldn’t cause them to lose their fighting strength.
Psionic warriors could be said to be light cavalry equipped with crossbows and crossbows, possessing the ability to “break through armor”, while bug warriors were like heavy cavalry equipped with heavy armor and strong shields, possessing the ability to “break through formations”.
“Da da da …”
Just as Tie Zha rushed towards the pursuers, the Black Pig King and the others hurriedly stopped in the air and took off their assault rifles to provide cover for the fire.
A hundred meters of distance passed in an instant. The psionic warrior who was rushing at the front saw the intruder flying over and immediately pulled out his dagger from his waist. He poured his psionic power into it and stabbed it fiercely.
However, he did not expect that the other party would not dodge or dodge, instead, he would collide with his dagger.
All I heard was “Kuang!” With a loud explosion, he was struck by a huge impact, causing stars to appear in his eyes. Blood surged all over his body, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the protective glass. As for his opponent, his shoulder armor was still stuck with a dagger. Blood oozed out, but it was not affected in the slightest. He caught up to him and grabbed his calf, throwing it towards the ground.
When the companions behind the psionic warriors saw this, they immediately slowed down and surrounded them while firing.
Tie Zha was hovering in the air, his entire body jingling with bullets, and sparks burst out. The outer armor of his Wilderness Knight was made of Vajra grade super-dense alloy. This kind of gunpowder bullet left at most a scratch on his body.
At this time, the two reformers locked onto him with their bazookas and pressed down the trigger.
“Aggressive …”
Rockets shot out, only to see Tie Zha raise his hand and fire two emergency shotguns, blasting them into the air. A few other psionic warriors quickly surrounded him, but they didn’t dare to rush forward easily after learning a lesson from the past.
Actually, Tie Zha’s left arm had already been injured, and his combat strength had greatly decreased. However, because he had just traded injuries for injuries, he had directly crippled a psionic warrior, intimidating the others.
The two sides confronted each other for a short while. Seeing that more and more reformers were catching up, Tie Zha casually fired two shots before turning around and continuing to retreat.
Just like that, they stopped and finally saw the convoy on the ground a few minutes later. At this time, they were running out of fuel, so they landed on top of the truck.
The logistic personnel immediately dragged the oil pipe onto the roof and refueled them. A few psionic warriors were the first to catch up, but they didn’t get close. They just hovered three hundred meters away and fired.
“Drive!” Under Zhao Wenke’s orders, the convoy headed towards Crimson Peak Stronghold at full speed.
With the passage of time, the reformers in the rear gradually caught up. Their fuel tanks were relatively large, and their endurance was more than three times that of a mechanical power armor.
He looked up and saw that the sky was filled with flames emitted by the ejector on the back of the mechanically modified man. There were about a hundred people in the sky.
“Kill!” When the other party was close enough, Tie Zha ordered the power-armored warriors hiding in the truck to immediately lift the camouflaged canvas, raise the missile launcher, lock onto the target, and pull the trigger.
“Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty Mighty …”
In an instant, dozens of heat-tracking missiles shot out one after another, and the smoke sprayed out filled the entire convoy.
At the same time, flames flickered in the sky and countless rockets flew over.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
In the next second, several fireballs erupted from the sky and the ground, reflecting the entire Gobi Desert to a bright red color.
However, Sequoia’s rockets all hit the trucks, and the power-armored warriors scattered in all directions, while Chifeng’s small missiles shot down more than a dozen reformers. The drawback of heat-tracking missiles is that they can be misled by heated targets such as truck engines.
Immediately after, murderous sounds shook the heavens, and meteors soared into the sky. In just one confrontation, several reformers were shot down, turning into fireballs that fell to the ground.
When the psionic warriors saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and fled. Tie Zha wouldn’t let them go, and Zhao Wenke and the Black Pig King quickly chased after them.
The Wilderness Knights of Tie Zha were very motivated, while Zhao Wenke was at the Seventh Order Psionic Ability. The two of them quickly caught up to each other and began to fight in the air. The Black Pig King was an ordinary mechanical power armor, lagging far behind. Seeing that he couldn’t catch up, he turned around and started to reform people.
The psionic warriors in front of him flew up and down, and Zhao Wenke quickly approached. At a distance of more than twenty meters, a mental shock rushed over. The psionic warriors in front of them instantly froze, and their speed slowed down considerably. Zhao Wenke immediately poured psionic energy into the spear. The patterns on the spear gradually lit up, and the tip of the spear glittered with blue light.
When the brilliance was at its peak, Zhao Wenke let out a low shout and spat out even more intense flames from his back.
The psionic warrior’s nose and mouth were bleeding from the mental shock. The psionic energy in his body was in a mess. He was at the end of his strength, unable to dodge at all. He could only hear “Pfft!” With a loud shout, the spear pierced through him.
On the other side, Tie Zha was chasing after the psionic warriors. Although his speed was a bit faster, his opponent was really nimble. He could climb, dive, and turn. He was completely unable to get close to him. After chasing for a while, he gave up in disappointment and turned to chase after the slower reformers.
Zhao Wenke released a mental shock and consumed a lot of psionic energy. In order to preserve his strength, he did not continue to chase after him.
A moment later, Evgeny, who had received the news from the frontlines, was enraged. He smashed several wine glasses in a row, causing the attendants at the side to tremble in fear.
“What’s going on? Where did they come from? There are so many power-armored warriors!” Evgeny roared. Not only had the wonderful game been interrupted, he had also lost more than fifty reformers, two psionic warriors, and countless vehicles and fuel.
Dazhi Tokuda, who was sitting on the sofa, looked a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
“Tokuda Jun, go back and gather your troops. We want to flatten Crimson Peak Stronghold!” Evgeny scratched his hair hard and shouted like a madman.
“This” Dazhi Tokuda’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if he was still hesitating.
“Idiot! When is it? You’re still hesitating!” Evgeny cursed, “Did you know that Valeria is from the Starlight Temple? If we let her go back alive, we will die!”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. I’ll get ready immediately.” Dazhi Tokuda replied, then stood up and quickly walked out.
About half an hour later, Tie Ling drove her motorcycle into Crimson Peak Stronghold and took Valeria to the medical center. The doctors immediately took over and pushed Valeria into the operating room. After more than ten minutes of emergency treatment, her injuries finally stabilized.
Half an hour later, when Tie Zha walked into the medical center to check on Valeria’s injuries, Mu Yu Ling Lan dialed his voice communication in the side hall of the Rain Prayer Temple in Silver City No. 13.
“The Sequoia Stronghold and the Peace Field Stronghold are gathering their troops. They are preparing to advance towards you. Prepare for battle, but don’t take the initiative to attack. I will send someone to help you.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“Then send Valeria to Quicksand Town as soon as possible. Priest Selma will be there to receive you.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said.
“Should I go by myself?” Tie Zha asked.
“Of course.” Mu Yu Ling Lan replied.
Tie Zha’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly put away his doubts and replied, “Alright.”
“If things go well, you will soon get a new stronghold.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said.
