Chapter 253: The Terror of Level-Four Monsters
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
The ground cracked as a gigantic crevice appeared.
It stretched for several kilometers, equivalent to a sizable canyon.
The sudden change shocked the mecha operators and the crew members in the air.
They knew that Yun Country was located in a region with many earthquakes, but the rift in front of them was clearly not caused by one.
The tremors had only lasted for a moment. Now, it had become quiet again.
The royal family of the Yun Country Imperial Palace was also extremely shocked. As they looked at that quiet and secluded valley, they couldn’t help but get a bad feeling.
It was the same for Masefield, who was watching remotely.
He was about to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate when he saw this scene and stopped.
He stared fixedly at the screen with a grim expression.
The mecha operators could not tell if the rift was formed naturally or due to other reasons.
They were afraid that there was some kind of danger. After some discussion, they activated their flying devices and scanned from above to find out the reason.
Just like that, the mechas spread their wings and operated their thrusters, quickly flying high into the sky.
High in the sky, they activated the scanning function and carefully examined the rift.
The scanning function was similar to X-ray. It could detect things that were invisible to the naked eye.
Then, just then.
Suddenly, a loud beast roar resounded in the quiet valley.
Roar!
The airwaves produced by the roar formed a huge tornado. The powerful wind force caused the mechas in the air to sway. They were almost sucked in.
The mecha operators immediately increased the output of their thrusters to stabilize the mechas.
Presently, the expressions of the mecha operators were especially solemn. They grew wary and vigilant since the roar earlier belonged to the monster.
If its roar alone was so powerful, how terrifying would its combat prowess be?
At this moment, an image came from the scanning system.
When the mecha members saw the image, they were all stunned.
It showed the silhouettes of two gigantic beasts, both of which were over a thousand kilograms in size.
One had the outline of a crab, while the other had the outline of a python.
They couldn’t possibly be level-three monsters, so they must have been higher-level monsters.
Level-four? Or level-five?
The mecha operators didn’t think too much about it. They knew the severity of the situation and immediately sent the image to the command center above.
When the command staff saw the video, their expressions were no different from those of mecha operators.
In front of the screen, Masefield froze. The superior-grade champagne in his hand immediately slipped out and shattered on the ground.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
“Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan… you crazy bat!” Masefield shouted out Qin Chuan’s name.
After the mecha operators discovered the monsters, the command center ordered them to retreat quickly.
Humans knew nothing about monsters above level-three.
They could only retreat in this situation.
The mecha operators immediately operated their mechas to maximize the thrusters.
The thrusters shot out huge pillars of fire and quickly lifted the mechas into the sky.
Right then, a high-frequency sound came from the rift on the ground, similar to the sound of a computer’s blue screen.
The mechas that were rapidly ascending suddenly stopped, but the flames from the thrusters continued to shoot out.
The mecha operators looked confused. The interface showed that everything was normal. Why did they stop?
The next moment, the mechas began to fall.
Each mecha weighed thousands of tons.
They fell quickly. It wouldn’t take more than a few seconds to hit the ground.
The mecha operators didn’t understand why this was happening.
Seeing that they were about to hit the ground, the team members immediately activated their ejection devices.
In the next second, there was a loud bang. Those mechas crashed into the ground at high speed and exploded into huge flames, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
The mecha operators who were ejected thought they had saved themselves lives, but they were still falling. It was as if the parachutes above their heads were gone.
They were terrified and didn’t know what to do.
Soon, they fell to the ground and were smashed into meat paste.
At this moment, all the mechas that came as reinforcements were annihilated.
The royal palace was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
All of the members of the royal family stared blankly at the images transmitted by the satellite with incredulity on their faces.
They couldn’t figure out why their mechas fell down in such a short time. Even the mecha operators who opened their parachutes also fell quickly.
After a while, one of the ministers received a message.
After reading it, the minister instantly understood what had happened.
The minister said, “Your Highness, there is news from the Nature Surveillance Division that a gravitational field has just appeared here.
Objects in this gravitational field would receive ten times more gravity than normal.
This also explained why the mechas fell while the thrusters were still working.
“These high-level monsters possess the ability to create a gravitational field.”
Chongshan Tianzong replied, “I don’t care about that right now. I just want to know if there’s a way to destroy them.”
The ministers all lowered their heads.
One of the ministers offered, “Your Highness, at this stage, we don’t know anything about monsters above level three, but we can be sure that they are very dangerous.
“For safety reasons, I think you should leave first, Your Highness.”
Chongshan Tianzong said angrily, “I am the ruler of a country. If you ask me to leave now, what will the citizens of the Yun Country think of me in the future? Will they still acknowledge me as their ruler?”
“Your Highness, we can rebuild our home if it’s gone. But, if you’re gone, then our home will disappear.
“It has been thousands of years since the first generation of Tianzong had established the Yun Country. There had never been a change in rulers in between. The spirit of the Tianzong had been engraved in everyone’s soul.
“Your Highness, not only are you the ruler of a country, but you are also the spiritual symbol of thousands of citizens of the Yun Country. Nothing must happen to you.
“Your Highness, I know that you empathize with the people. But this is a critical moment. Please leave quickly.”
“I don’t think the people will blame His Highness.”
When the minister said this, the other ministers also agreed. Chongshan Tianzong’s face immediately darkened.
Of course, I know how loyal they are to me. But I can’t give up just like that.
Chongshan Tianzong walked out of the main hall with heavy steps. They looked up at the sky and shouted with great unwillingness.
At the same time, he pleaded the spirits of the past emperors to protect the country and its millions of people.
After venting his anger and indignation, Chongshan Tianzong walked back to the main hall and told the ministers that he would leave.
The ministers were relieved and immediately arranged for that.
On the other side, after the mechas were completely annihilated, the two level-four monsters began to advance towards the center of the Yun Country.
It met no resistance as if they were in no man’s land. Wherever they passed, they formed continuous rifts.
In an instant, mountains and rivers shattered, and the entire Yun Country was completely unrecognizable. It was as if it had encountered a massive earthquake.
Looking down from the sky, the entire island was filled with large and small cracks, as if the entire island was about to fall apart.
The shelters within those mountains were simply unable to provide any form of refuge.
With the arrival of the level-four monsters, countless people were buried by the collapsed mountains.
What happened here was quickly broadcast live to all the major media outlets in the world.
At this moment, everyone witnessed the terror of level-four monsters.
Facing monsters of this level, everyone was filled with despair.
Everyone began to question whether the current technology of mankind could kill such enormous creatures.
Perhaps only immortal cultivators could do so!
