Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Fighting God in Flames

“…” Meng Chao scratched his head. “Oh well, as long as we managed to save them, you can say whatever you want.”

Behind them, more superhumans used their single gliders and 3D mobile gears to arrive at the area from all directions. Some even came from the air.

The armored vehicle squad from the Red Dragon Army set up a defense line around the perimeter of the smoke to block all monsters and zombies that might appear and wander outside the area, thereby spreading their viruses further.

Quite a number of fighting squads had already entered the collapsed buildings to begin saving the trapped citizens.

Meng Chao sighed in relief after seeing that.

He could now focus on handling the attackers of Noble Descent Hotel.

“Let’s go in!” He raised the Hammer of Destruction in his arms and moved forward as if the ruins were a flat ground. Soon, he arrived at the smoke covered entrance of the hotel.

By then, at least three floors of Noble Descent Hotel had sunken into an empty space underground. The “entrance” was a twisted hole blasted open by an explosion.

Near the hole was a black crack that led to some unknown place, and there were countless monsters squirming out of there.

The monsters had to have lurked for a long time underground without being discovered by humans, so most of them were medium-sized, shell-type monsters, ecdysozoa-type monsters, and reptile-type monsters.

The largest number of them were insect-type monsters commonly known as Scythe Heads. They were like the amalgamations of praying mantises and longhorn beetles that were magnified nearly one hundred times.

Terrifying sharp spikes grew all over their bodies, and there were two scythe-shaped bladed limbs on their heads. When they swung them at full strength, they could leave horrifying gashes even walls made of reinforced concrete.

When Meng Chao and Lu Siya rushed over, hundreds of Scythe Heads had already crawled into Noble Descent Hotel.

There were also a lot of scorpion-type monsters, spider-type monsters, and huge centipedes that were thicker than pythons. They could spit acid, venom, and adhesive liquid.

Forget about their fighting strength. Their monstrous and ugly appearances were already enough to deal mental damage to humans. The colorful insect-type monsters were definitely even more terrifying than the mighty feline-type monsters.

Fortunately, while the fighting strength of these insect-type monsters was high, as long as their shells were broken, their defenses would then be nothing.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged a glance before both of them removed their grenades and tossed them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Most of the Scythe Heads, Golden Spirits, and Giant Centipedes were considered normal monsters, so they could be killed by firearms.

Both of them tossed dozens of grenades in a go and tore up the insect swarm. Flesh and blood fly everywhere.

Countless insects were left with bloody holes from shrapnel before they were flipped on their backs by the impact. They moved their severed limbs as much as they could, but could not flip themselves back.

Only a number of them were able to avoid the shrapnel and impact, but they were the leaders of the insect swarm and were Nightmarish Beasts. They screeched shrilly at the duo.

They charged at them. The one in the lead was a large Scythe Head with its mandible giving off a metallic sheen. It was able to crawl really quickly and had the jumping power of a lice.

This Nightmarish Beast was commonly known as Golden Scythe because of its outstanding mobility and sharp mandibles. It was a major enemy of normal citizens and the Red Dragon Army.

In the past, when monsters attacked, if there were two Golden Scythes among them, they would be able to rip apart a heavy fighting vehicle on their own.

At that moment, Meng Chao could see at least ten Golden Scythes among the insect swarm.

Eight of them jumped high and climbed to the higher levels of Noble Descent Hotel. They used their golden mandibles to easily rip apart the armor covering the windows and crawled in.

The remaining five jumped at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

They screeched loudly, and their mandibles intersected with each other to form a storm of attacks.

Boom!

Right when this storm was formed, it was immediately destroyed by Meng Chao’s Hammer of Destruction!

He used the muscles and bones in his arms to perform micro-adjustments to the truck-mounted heavy grenade launcher. It allowed him to completely negate the recoil, and his accuracy was higher than when the grenade launcher was fitted to an armored vehicle.

Practically every rifle grenade he launched graced past the enemy’s mandibles and pierced the fragile mouthpiece between them. They exploded inside the mouthpiece, blowing apart the Golden Scythe’s head to a bloody mess.

The Golden Scythes were insect-type monsters with brains that were not very developed, so they needed their heads to receive orders from the mastermind underground.

Once their heads were reduced to a bloody mess, the Golden Scythes fell from the air and twitched violently on the ground. Their mandibles created sparks as they scratched against each other.

Meng Chao took huge strides forward and drew close to the Golden Scythes. He stomped on their mandibles and shoved the burning muzzle of the Hammer of Destruction into their mangled wounds. He pulled the trigger again.

Muffled booms rose, and the Golden Scythes’ abdominal cavities exploded.

When Meng Chao drew the muzzle away, the slightly red muzzle was covered in the adhesive liquid from the insects. It gave off the smell of smoke and something else that smelled pungent.

Meng Chao was unbothered by this. He moved the Hammer of Destruction on his shoulders again.

He summoned strength to his legs, and spirit energy gushed out from under his feet like blades. He then ripped off a golden mandible from a Golden Scythe.

The mandibles of a Golden Scythe were formed by the creature eating ores, crystals, and minerals full of spirit energy and rare elements. These components gathered at the base of the mandibles, thus giving them a metallic quality. Their toughness and sharpness would not lose to a human’s saber after it was polished carefully. There were also sawed-teeth at the sharp edges of the mandibles, further increasing their efficiency at cutting things.

Meng Chao swung the mandible, and it gave off a howl as it sliced through the air. An amazing feeling flowed through his entire body from his fingertips, and his desire to kill instantly became stronger ten times.

Meng Chao grinned and ripped off the other mandible.

‘No. This isn’t enough.’

There were four other Golden Scythes, making it ten mandibles in total. He yanked all of them off.

He bound eight of them together and tied them to his waist while he held two against the insect swarm not far from him.

Even the inferior creatures with no intelligence were terrified by the heinous killing intent coming out of his body, and they started scattering like a receding tide.

When Meng Chao took a step forward, the insect swarm took a step back. Right as it looked like they were about to crawl back into the crack from which they came, three burning black beetles crawled out.

“Whoosh!”

The three black beetles were even bigger than bathing tubs. The shells on their backs spread out to reveal two pairs of large, semi-transparent wings. They had colorful vortices, which were like ghastly eyes that were as deep as the abyss.

Whoosh!

The three black beetles flew into the air and flapped their wings vigorously to spread a large amount of golden powder.

When the golden power touched the insect swarm, it was as if all of them had received a great stimulant. They became manic again and scratched their shells, wings, mandibles, and mouthpieces while they let out shrieks that could pierce the human brain.

“Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle?”

Meng Chao grinned, showing sharp teeth.

‘That’s… an old opponent.’

In his previous life, the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles were the direct cause behind why his family was destroyed.

After he returned to the past, the first superbeast he killed was also a Ghost-eyed Winged Flame Beetle.

This thing could not only spit fiery oil, which was similar to napalm bombs, while it was high in the air. It could also spread the phosphor on its wings to stimulate the killing instincts of black beetles and other insects.

If the Meng Chao two years ago were here, he would definitely feel troubled by it.

But now…

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The three Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles fired three balls of highly adhesive fireballs at Meng Chao.

He did not dodge. He was surrounded by flames and turned into a burning fire pillar.

The next moment, three flying blades suddenly shot out of the fire pillars.

The Golden Scythes’ mandibles spun at high speed in the air and drew three bizarre trajectories. They struck the three targets as if they were missiles.

In the past, Meng Chao would need to fire the instant the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles spat their fireballs to seize that one in a million chance to kill the monster.

But the current Meng Chao just needed to seize the moment the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle was weak after it spat its fireball. He could use the mandibles from the Golden Scythe to cut the three insects into six parts and make them fall to the ground.

Meng Chao was still shrouded in flames, but spirit energy from Blue Origin Crystals gushed out of his pores to form a protective layer on his skin. Not even a single hair on his body was burnt, and it gave him the air of a Fighting God burning in flames.

Insect-type monsters with inferior nervous systems were afraid of flames, and moving flames like Meng Chao made the instinctual fear carved into their genes activate.

Wherever Meng Chao went, the insect-type monsters would scatter and flee in all directions.

The ones who were slower were stomped viciously or cut into pieces by Meng Chao when he swung the Golden Scythe mandibles.

Soon, not a single insect-type monster was left at the entrance of Noble Descent Hotel.

Many of the insect-type monsters crawled back into the crack with the intention to regroup underground before they launched a new offense.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged glances. They removed the tactical vests covered in grenades.

Then, they removed the safety pins and tossed all of the grenades along with the tactical vests into the bottomless crack where the vermin were squirming.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The grenades exploded nonstop. The shrapnel cut into the vermin like meat grinders, and the impact spread far into the airtight tunnel. It squeezed out the adhesive liquid in the vermin, and the sight of it gave an unimaginably good feeling.

When the final explosion ended, Lu Siya knelt on one knee and touched the ground with her hands while mumbling. Her spirit tattoos crawled from her temples to her shoulders, arms, and fingers before they flowed into the ground to change the molecular structure of the rock stratum. The crack slowly closed up.

A centipede that was even thicker than a python was badly battered by the explosion and was in a daze. It wanted to crawl out before the crack was completely closed.

Lu Siya increased the speed at which she changed the elemental structure. Before the Giant Centipede could crawl out completely, she shut the crack closed.

The Giant Centipede was stuck in the earth. It kept struggling, but it could not move.

Meng Chao brought out two more Golden Scythe mandibles and intersected them like a pair of scissors to grind down the Giant Centipede’s head. He cut off half of its body on the spot.

Meng Chao used two mandibles to pin the Giant Centipede’s head and the body that was stuck in the ground so that the venomous liquid at the severed part would not flow everywhere. He then turned his head and said to Lu Siya, “Let’s go!”

They left behind a ground full of insect carcasses and strode into Noble Descent Hotel through the hole.
