Chapter 1696: Trump Card!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Siya seemed to be in a desperate situation.
She was being attacked by several Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins one after another, forcing her to retreat step by step.
Then, she had to worry about the anti-material sniper bullets that could pierce through even the ferocious h.e.l.l Beasts and bite her.
Her face became increasingly pale, and despair gradually appeared on her face.
Yet, no matter how miserable she was, she always limited her combat ability to the peak of Heaven Realm and did not display any inhuman strength.
!!
Finally…
Lu Siya retreated to the edge of the s.p.a.ce barrier.
There were vague ripples behind her.
If she retreated any further, it was likely that she would fall into a spatial rift. Some of her limbs and organs would be torn apart and teleported to some unknown coordinates nearby.
Meanwhile, the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins’ killing formation before her continued to get closer.
Even Meng Chao, who was observing in secret, felt suffocated.
However, just as the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins waved their sharp blades at her again, the corners of Lu Siya’s mouth curled into a faint arc.
This arc was like a scalpel as thin as a cicada’s wings, tearing apart the despair that she had deliberately revealed.
At the same time, a shrill scream came from behind the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins.
A huge black shadow jumped up from the ground to a height of seven to eight meters, almost covering the dark sky.
Then, with the sound of wind and thunder, it slammed down heavily on the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins and the skin-flaying monsters.
It was the Giant Sandworm that had been hiding underground to ambush Lu Siya!
This giant worm was obviously a biochemical beast being controlled by the Blood Alliance from a distance.
Now, however, its target was no longer Lu Siya, but the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Blood Alliance.
The Giant Sandworm opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, and the hundreds of fangs in its mouth rotated rapidly, producing the ear-piercing scratching sound of a meat grinder running at high speed.
The Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin closest to it was caught off guard.
The Giant Sandworm bit him and swallowed the upper half of his body.
Even though the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin had the dual defense of a nano combat suit and a spirit shield, the Giant Sandworm had also undergone multiple genetic modifications. Its fangs were as hard as alloy, and it also had the ability to oscillate at high frequencies. It could even crush diamonds.
The Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin fell into the depths of the Giant Sandworm’s b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, and he was repeatedly torn, cut, and ground by the fangs. Eventually, his flesh was torn off his bones.
His legs, which were still exposed, were twitching crazily, and blood spurted out of his upper body like a burst pipe. The Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin’s scream was even more unpleasant than the cry of a baleful ghost. The scene was extremely tragic.
Moreover, the Giant Sandworm kept rolling and dancing crazily as it devoured him.
While the other Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins and the skin-flaying monsters in the surroundings were not directly bitten by the Giant Sandworm, they were still pushed away by its monstrous strength. How could they maintain their airtight killing formation?
“How is this possible?!”
The Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins turned pale with fright.
They did not understand why their own biochemical beast would suddenly go berserk and attack its own people.
One should know that the Giant Sandworm was a very low-level monster. It had almost no concept of a brain and relied entirely on its ring-shaped nerves to act.
The Blood Alliance had made use of Thundercloud Technology’s superb technology to implant a large number of electrodes and chips into the biochemical beast’s ring-shaped nerves and muscle fibers, turning it into a flesh machine. Logically speaking, it should have been 100% obedient and not have its own will. Of course, it would not have had the ability to think and betray.
Meng Chao was looking at the Giant Sandworm’s body, which was filled with earth thorns made of reinforced concrete. Only he suddenly realized what had happened.
He blinked quickly, and rings of gold immediately appeared around his pupils.
Activating his enhanced vision, he scanned the Giant Sandworm. As expected, Meng Chao discovered that the earth thorns that were made of reinforced concrete had already taken root deep inside the Giant Sandworm’s body. Similar to the roots of a giant tree, they had formed a system that was similar to a skeleton.
So, that was Lu Siya’s trump card!
At the very beginning, she had summoned the earth thorns and pierced them deep into the Giant Sandworm’s body. It was not as simple as dealing with sandworm and preventing it from attacking her.
“She kept changing and shaping the shape of the earth thorns. So, the earth thorns crisscrossed inside the Giant Sandworm’s body and kept growing deeper and deeper until she seized control of it.
“Long before she became a warrior, Lu Siya was one of the best prospectors among the younger generation in Dragon City. She had an innate affinity for rocks, soil, and sand. Her talent was comparable to that of her grandfather, the leader of Sky Pillar Corporation, and the president of the Dragon City Mine Explorer a.s.sociation as well as the Crystal a.s.sociation, the Deity Realm expert, Lu Zhongqi!
“I remember that when she first embarked on the path of martial arts, she was able to use her talent of changing substances to condense ordinary rocks, soil, and sand into a living rock dragon with certain combat abilities.
“Today, not only does she have half a foot in the Deity Realm, but her body also contains the mysterious power of monsters. Presumably, her ability to manipulate rock-like substances has also reached the peak of perfection.
“With her talent as a prospector, she created a set of internal bones that were under her control in the Giant Sandworm’s body with the surrounding reinforced concrete as the raw material. In such a way, she seized control over the Giant Sandworm from the Blood Alliance’s remote controller!
“The electrodes and chips that she implanted into the Giant Sandworm’s body can only release a feeble biological electric current, which can cause the circular nerves of the Giant Sandworm to twitch.
“However, Lu Siya has control over every piece of the Giant Sandworm’s flesh and its blood through the crisscrossing endoskeleton.
“When their two commands clash, hers will naturally be superior!”
Even though their positions were completely opposite, Meng Chao could not help but want to cheer for Lu Siya’s strategy.
And Lu Siya did not waste even half a second.
Just as the Giant Sandworm smashed the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins’ killing formation into pieces and blocked the snipers hiding in the distance, her pale, almost transparent face instantly turned as red as fire.
She was reminiscent of a volcano that was erupting without warning.
Her speed and strength instantly increased by a level.
She then turned into a shadow surrounded by electric arcs and dashed toward the spatial barrier generator that she had just hit.
A Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin who was being pinned down by the Giant Sandworm happened to be in her way, and he tried to stop her in a hurry.
Lu Siya did not waste half a second on the guy. She accelerated to the maximum and dragged out an extremely fierce streak of light.
Shua!
Soon after, the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sin’s right arm, including half of his shoulder blade and the sharp blade in his hand, flew into the sky!
