Chapter 164 Shield Tunneling
Charles, who was lying on the cliff, opened his eyes wide, watching the living creature the size of a shield machine slowly fall.
As the distance got closer, Charles saw more details, it was a giant flesh shield machine made of black chitin, purple tendons and sticky flesh.
Insect legs the size of a small house grow around it, supporting the surrounding rock walls and slowly moving down.
In the lower part of this monster, the insect-like compound eyes undulate left and right like searchlights in a deep well,
The surviving praying mantises raised their glowing abdomens and lay on its body in a lotus shape.
A trembling sound like a whale's cry came from the web of flesh, and Charles could feel the emotion in the sound. The thing was mourning the death of the praying mantises.
"Gudong." Charles swallowed hard.
Although this thing didn't do anything, every time he was swept by those compound eyes, it could make Charles feel chills from the depths of his brain.
The haze of this thing not only hangs over people's bodies, but also hangs over people's hearts.
"My lord, didn't the people of the Illuminati Sect say that there are only some indigenous people who can fly? Why is there such a thing?" A helicopter pilot shouted at Charles with fear.
Charles also wanted to know what this thing was. Why is it about to reach the surface, and it wants to run out to stop it.
But he knew that now was not the time to complain, and whatever it was, he had to get rid of it.
God knows how long it will take if we go back now and organize such a huge flying group. He has waited too long, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.
"All up!" Charles flapped his wings and climbed towards the living shield machine above.
When Charles was still more than 20 meters away from that thing, the praying mantises on the surface of the shield machine flapped their transparent insect wings again, and the fluttering sound of the insect wings became the language of Earthsea.
"Light-skinned people, haven't you brought enough disasters to all races?"
Charles flapped his wings and hovered in the air. "I don't know what the hell you're talking about! I'm living on it!! I'm just going home!!"
"Light-skinned man, you can't be the person above, the light-skinned man above has disappeared with that disaster!"
"You praying mantis monsters let me guess riddles with me!! What kind of disaster happened up there! Don't you fucking tell me!!" Richard suddenly jumped out and cursed.
The praying mantises didn't answer, and they quickly dispersed when they gathered together, facing the scythe blade that Charles showed at the bottom.
Seeing this scene, Charles knew that he had nothing to say to them, and shouted loudly: "Fire!!"
The sound of machine guns and cannons rang out again, and the purple blood kept splashing on the flesh shield machine, but it healed quickly again in a blink of an eye. This stuff is extremely resilient.
The shield machine trembled. The sound of the whale screamed instantly, and the worm's legs supporting the cliff wall of the shield machine retracted in unison, and the huge body smashed down at the bottom like an elevator out of control.
No one thought that the opponent would attack like this, and all the flying objects, including Charles, were hit by it and fell.
The helicopter's propeller cut the shield machine's flesh and blood, but it didn't respond at all, maybe this thing didn't feel pain at all.
The remaining dozens of airships played a key role at this time. The strong buoyancy brought by the airbags greatly weakened the impact of the flesh shield machine.
Seeing that he was about to be stopped in mid-air, a mantis-shaped sickle popped out from under the shield machine.
It's just that the back of the mantis' sickle is connected to their forelimbs, and the back of the flesh shield's sickle is connected to slender tentacles with black spots.
The sickle swung by the whip-like tentacles pierced towards the airbag of the airship.
Whether it is a human body or a ship, as long as it is slightly touched by this thing, it will be turned into two halves.
Charles tried to fight back with others, but the wounds caused by bullets or shells would heal within seconds.
Facing the tentacle attack of the hard and soft disc monster, everyone began to retreat, and they were forced out of the sunlight gap again.
Facing the enemies far away outside the gap, the Flesh Shield Machine didn't know whether it had no way to attack or didn't want to attack. At this time, it was stuck in the gap, waving its tentacles, and probing around as much as possible like a jellyfish.
Charles frowned and looked at the thing entrenched in the crack. He knew that if he wanted to go up, he had to get rid of this thing.
After careful observation, Charles thought of a plan, and he began to give orders to the other surrounding aircraft.
"Divide into three groups and attack its left side first. It is completely supported by those six thick legs. If we break those six legs, it will definitely not be able to support such a heavy body."
The believers on the airship nodded in agreement, but the helicopter ignored it and began to descend.
Charles quickly flew to a helicopter and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!! The most critical moment, are you running away now?"
The sound of the propeller was very loud, and the pilot yelled at Charles, "Look below, the governor has given an order, we must go back!"
Charles looked down and found some steamboats below, using their searchlights to set up a retreat signal.
When Charles asked the question, all the other helicopters had left. He and two dozen airships remained near the dome.
If it was possible to succeed before, then now that so few people rush forward, they are really looking for death.
According to the normal situation, this time the plan was considered a failure, but Charles was not reconciled.
He opened his ferocious mouth and shouted at the surrounding airships: "Your pope told you to obey my orders, do you obey all orders?"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Charles struggled in his heart, and he still had a solution in his mind, but this decision was really difficult for him to make.
But when he thought of the ground that was about to bottom, Charles' eyes became firm.
"Now I order you to take out all the explosives, I have a plan..."
A few minutes later, the remaining twenty or so airships began to move, moving towards the edge of the rift.
A fierce battle raged in the air. The airbag of the airship was quickly cut by the sickle, and the wreckage fell towards the water below.
They had already prepared for this kind of attack. All the crew members on the airship carried powder barrels one by one, and flew towards the thick legs of the flesh and blood shield machine.
The scythes in the air waved, trying to cut them off.
But the fuses of the explosives in their hands were extremely short, and whenever the tentacles approached, the believers would decisively detonate them.
Listening to those explosions, Charles trembled all over. He knew that for every explosion, one died, and these deaths were all caused by him.
"I don't care!! I'm going back soon!! I can't stop at this moment! I have to go back!! I've waited long enough!!"
Eyes filled with the hysterical roar of a mad Charles.
