Chapter 1693: Lu Siya’s Crisis!

“D*mn it!”
Meng Chao subconsciously broke out in cold sweat for Lu Siya.
That single-molecule nano silk was the ultimate crystallization of Dragon City’s materials science.
Although its diameter might not be as exaggerated as being on a “molecular level,” it was definitely thinner, tougher, and sharper than hair.
In the past, single-molecule nano silk was mainly used to create beast-catching nets to trap h.e.l.l Beasts and Apocalyptic Beasts.
!!
When dealing with h.e.l.l Beasts, as long as they could successfully spread out and cover their target, allowing the single-molecule nanomites to be deeply embedded in the target’s skin and flesh, even if the target was a gigantic Tyrant Mammoth or a crustacean-type monster with rough skin and thick flesh, it would still be doomed.
The more the entangled monster struggled, the tighter and deeper the single-molecule nanomites would become, to the point that they would sever flesh, bones, and even nerves.
An incomparably b.l.o.o.d.y scene had played out before—an unruly h.e.l.l Beast that was slow to feel pain had completely ignored the single-molecule nanowires that grew tighter and tighter around its body. It continued to bare its fangs and brandish its claws as it struggled desperately. In the end, it was cut into more than a hundred b.l.o.o.d.y pieces by the beast-catching net. The scene was too horrible to watch.
As for the Apocalyptic Beasts, the speed of their nerve reaction and their strength far surpa.s.sed that of the h.e.l.l Beast, so they might not necessarily be trapped to death by the single-molecule nanowires.
Nonetheless, if were they slightly careless when they came into contact with the single molecule nanowires, it would be very easy for them to sustain open wounds that were so deep that one could see their bones. That would result in nerve ruptures and ma.s.sive bleeding, and their ability to battle would be severely weakened.
With that said, the refinement of the single molecule nanowires was also extremely difficult, and the sc.r.a.p rate of the finished products was over 95%.
To weave the single molecule nanowires into a beast-catching net that covered the sky and earth also required an astronomical amount of money and amazing technique.
It was often a one-time consumable. After being contaminated by a monster’s bodily fluids, it would easily corrode, greatly reducing its toughness and sharpness.
Therefore, many people in the industry agreed that the value of single-molecule nanowire was even higher than that of a high-level monster’s spinal cord of the same length.
Unless it was an extremely important target, it was rare for anyone to use such an invaluable ultimate weapon.
Today, to deal with Lu Siya, the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins had used so many single-molecule nanowires and even special techniques to store the single-molecule nanowires inside the crystal bullets.
They pretty much treated Lu Siya as a cunning and vicious Apocalyptic Beast!
Faced with the sudden death net, a rare hint of nervousness and solemnity appeared on Lu Siya’s face.
Her joints seemed to disappear at the same time, and her whole body suddenly shrank.
She had been soaring up like a falcon, but now, she was falling as if she had hit a transparent ceiling.
She could not completely escape the attack range of the single-molecule nanowires.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the single-molecule nanowires danced wildly in the air like the tentacles of a demon, a few drops of bright red blood splashed out from the shimmering light.
By the time Lu Siya finally landed on the ground, her clothes had been shredded into pieces. There were a few shocking red marks on her cheeks, shoulders, wrists, hips, thighs, and fair skin. They extended continuously as if they had a life of their own.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth. The intense throbbing between her eyebrows showed that the pain caused by the single-molecule nanofilaments was far more intense than it appeared on the surface.
Just as she bent her knees slightly and tried to jump up toward the nearest sniper, the red scar above her left knee suddenly exploded and turned into a shocking, circular wound.
Lu Siya immediately staggered and fell to the ground on one knee.
The scene overlapped with other scenes in Meng Chao’s memory where he fought side by side with Lu Siya countless times in the past few years.
He instinctively wanted to step forward and help her.
It was not until every muscle in his body was ready to give it a try that he realized what was going on.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Chao warned himself repeatedly in his mind, ‘Don’t be silly. What you’re seeing isn’t the truth.
‘You’ve seen that this woman isn’t the real Lu Siya, but the terrifying wild banshee who inherited the monster civilization’s last will.
‘Haven’t you seen her real face on the summit of Mist Mountain? Don’t you know how powerful she is?
‘The real Lu Siya has been suppressed and controlled by the monster civilization. What’s in front of you is only her body at best.
‘If you want to save the real Lu Siya, you should calm down and take a closer look at what tricks the Blood Alliance’s Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins and the wild banshee, the tenth Supernatural Ent.i.ty who disguised herself as Lu Siya, have up their sleeves!’
It was true that the trap set by the Blood Alliance was almost perfect.
However, Meng Chao believed that Lu Siya, the wild banshee, would not give up so easily.
As he expected, Lu Siya only knelt for half a second.
The wounds that had been open earlier were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before her wounds could fully heal, though, Meng Chao heard more than ten mournful wolf howls from both ends of the poor street.
More than ten black shadows with a fishy smell lunged at Lu Siya.
Meng Chao looked closely and found that they were more than ten monsters that looked like skinned hyenas.
These monsters were two to three rounds larger than ordinary monsters. They resembled small-sized demon hogs too.
Perhaps their muscles had grown too fast and they were too deformed because their fur was torn and peeled off, revealing pink and crimson muscles that were dancing in the air.
In between the muscles, there were many white bone spurs. There were even tiny barbs attached to those bone spurs.
One could imagine that when such a monster pounced like a cannonball, it sc.r.a.pe a thick layer of flesh and blood off as long as it rubbed against a person’s body lightly.
Not to mention, the monster’s overly-developed fangs and jaws were completely protruding out of its lips. It was as if its skull could not wait to jump out of its body, and it gave off a ferocious feeling like a h.e.l.lhound.
However, compared with its hideous appearance, Meng Chao was more concerned about the dozens of metal implants that extended from the top of its head to its spine.
It seemed as though a row of antennas had been implanted along the spine of this monster.
The devices reminded Meng Chao of the guy, whom Yun Feidian had turned into a puppet three days ago at the car repair shop.
“These monsters are being controlled by someone too. They’re all Yun Feidian’s or someone else’s puppets!
“In other words, they’re all as intelligent as human beings!”
