Chen Gu wasn’t concerned about that. As long as he and Qing Ruyan were present, there was no problem a nuclear explosion couldn’t solve. If one attempt didn’t work, they would simply try a second ti.
He looked around; Liu Shichan was in one of the combat vehicles ahead. However, since the vehicles all looked identical and were jumbled together, he couldn’t distinguish which one was hers. He was very worried about Liu Shichan’s condition.
Qing Ruyan erged from behind a massive, cracked boulder. Her expression was grave as she gazed at the ch Worm, which had already lost nearly half its body to the explosion. For a mont, she couldn’t be certain of its demise.
The professionals had all gathered. Light blue chanical fluid gushed from the ch Worm’s wounds like water from a breached dam, yet the bright blue glow on its body never faded.
WHIRRR...
Suddenly, a strange chanical sound arose. Everyone’s expression changed. "Not good, it’s still alive!"
"This thing is like an earthworm; cutting it in half won’t kill it! What do we do now?" soone panicked.
Qing Ruyan snapped, "Nonsense! We just didn’t hit its Energy Core. Let’s go again!"
She charged towards a combat vehicle but changed her mind midway, heading towards Boluo instead. "I’ll take you up," she said. "Can you create a bomb that can travel down its body and explode all the way through?"
BOOM—
Before Boluo could answer, the ch Worm on the ground suddenly reared its body again! This ti, however, its tail beca its head, erupting with intense light. After a phase of thermal self-evolution, a chanical mouth, also full of sharp teeth, opened on its tail!
ROOOAAR— It roared in pain and anger, using its thermal ability a second ti to cauterize the wound, then furiously ground its way towards them.
Qing Ruyan swiftly scooped up Boluo. "You don’t have a choice anymore!"
"Ah?" Boluo shuddered with fright, already being carried by the President as she sprinted towards the ch Worm.
Chen Gu had checked three combat vehicles without finding Liu Shichan. He wasn’t worried about the ch Worm; Qing Ruyan was unfathomable, and with her there, they would surely hold. He rushed to the fourth combat vehicle. This one was rather unlucky, having crashed into a cluster of rocks, its chassis severely deford. Chen Gu exerted considerable effort to pry open the tal door. "Liu Shichan?"
He shouted into the vehicle twice but received no response. Just as he was about to move to the next one, a soft moan reached him. Chen Gu quickly rushed in. Several ammunition boxes had toppled over, pinning soone underneath.
He pushed away the ammunition boxes; indeed, Liu Shichan was trapped beneath them.
"How are you?" He quickly lifted Liu Shichan out. Before he could examine his classmate’s injuries, he heard a cry of warning, "Watch out!"
A deep blue energy beam shot towards him.
Chen Gu’s body tensed. His physical strength reached its peak in an instant. Grabbing Liu Shichan and pushing off with his legs, he shot out like a cannonball.
A clear, deep pit appeared where his feet had been.
In the instant he departed, the energy beam struck that combat vehicle.
BOOM—
The combat vehicle was completely obliterated. The ground undulated under the force of the massive explosion, and then a column of flas erupted into the sky!
Chen Gu felt as if a giant hand of fla had fiercely pushed him from behind.
By the ti he ca to his senses, he was lying in a deep pit thousands of ters away. Every bone in his body felt as if it had snapped, an excruciating pain.
At the sa ti, his vision was blurry, and his ears buzzed as if two airplane engines were roaring inside them.
Fortunately, as a professional, he could sense that although he was in bad shape, he hadn’t sustained any critical injuries.
After a good while, his vision and hearing finally returned. He struggled to get up and check on Liu Shichan in his arms.
Liu Shichan’s forehead was bleeding from a wound, and one arm seed dislocated. The injuries were not life-threatening; Chen Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked back towards the battlefield, where the professionals had been forced to use every trick up their sleeves.
Hu Ling was constantly darting about the periter, lifting and hurling huge boulders at the ch Worm, distracting its attention.
Dora had taken cover several kiloters away. Eight spider-leg-like chanical arms extended from her tactical backpack, stabbing deeply into the ground to completely stabilize her. In her hands, she held an energy gun longer than herself, continuously aiming and firing.
Each shot accurately struck a vital gear on the ch Worm’s body, causing it to stagger and bellow in rage.
Qing Ruyan, gripping Boluo, had climbed to the ch Worm’s neck. Boluo pressed his hands against the creature, mustering all his strength to activate his ability.
"Hurry, they can’t hold on much longer!" Qing Ruyan urged.
Boluo’s originally dark face was now deathly pale. After struggling for a long ti, he finally managed to gasp out, "I’m afraid of heights—"
Qing Ruyan wished she could slap this guy to death, but right now, he was a crucial part of their strategy.
As the professionals on the periter were on the verge of collapsing, Boluo finally stamred, "Ready."
Before Boluo could react, Qing Ruyan had already thrown him off the ch Worm’s neck, hundreds of ters high.
AAAHHH—
A shrill scream tore through the sky.
Hu Ling, who had been acting as a human catapult for so ti, was gasping for breath. Seeing his teammate hurled through the air, he could only lant his unfortunate fate. He opened his arms, constantly retreating, aiming to catch Boluo.
After much effort, he unexpectedly tripped over a stone and flipped backward. Boluo YELPED as he slid over him and slamd solidly into the ground.
After throwing Boluo, Qing Ruyan also leaped from the ch Worm’s body, rushing to Chen Gu’s side in a few bounds.
Explosions began on the ch Worm. Amidst the deafening booms, it was gradually blown to pieces.
Each explosion was less powerful than the "Ecstasy IV Model" Glorious Thunder, but they were incessant. Finally, the Energy Core hidden sowhere within the huge ch Worm detonated.
BOOM! A brilliantly bright blue light burst forth. Hu Ling was struggling to pull Boluo from the ground. The two of them were blown far away by the force, tumbling head over heels.
After a long while, everyone, covered in dust and gri, finally crawled out from various small craters and mounds of earth.
"It’s finally over." Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, spitting out the dust in their mouths.
They hadn’t even entered the Yingudusi Devil’s Pit and had already encountered such a colossal creature; it felt like an inauspicious start.
But Chen Gu and Qing Ruyan exchanged a look. Their focus was on Leder, who seed sowhat excited. He was yelling and directing several uninjured rcenaries, "Co on, follow to confirm if that big brute is really dead!"
His true purpose was undoubtedly to collect the ch Worm’s chanical innards.
Qing Ruyan glanced at Liu Shichan, cradled in Chen Gu’s arms, and flashed a teasing smile. "Quite the loving couple, aren’t you?"
Chen Gu said, "We’re classmates..."
Qing Ruyan waved her hand, tossing out that infuriating phrase again, "You don’t have to explain to ."
Chen Gu was rendered speechless by her remark again. Am I trying to explain to you? If you weren’t so sharp-tongued, constantly trying to provoke , would I even bother saying this to you?
Chen Gu felt wronged just thinking about it. Ever since his soul had transmigrated, he had remained pure and innocent, his days marked by considerable hardship. It was truly disheartening...
