Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 203 - 78: If You Can See It, You Can Kill It
Chapter 203: Chapter 78: If You Can See It, You Can Kill It
Chen Jian had imagined many times what this so-called Second-level Monster looked like, but when he finally saw the monster’s true form, he was still shocked by the scene before him.
Accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground, a massive, almost shapeless mound began to slowly wriggle across the surface.
Its size was at least over three hundred meters, with a height reaching an astonishing fifty meters.
----No, perhaps this wasn’t its true form.
The umbrella-shaped fungal forest was its camouflage, with thick humus and sediment as its armor.
No one knew how thick these "symbiotic tissues" were, but it was certain that it was a gigantic worm hiding beneath the soil and dust!
It clearly had no eyes, but it precisely captured the team’s position.
And as it began to move towards the team, all the surrounding fungi started to act as if they had received a command.
The umbrella fungi group simultaneously released a massive amount of spores, which, originally like white mist, quickly changed color upon entering the air, spreading into a dark red haze like a blood mist.
And amidst the haze, the silhouettes of numerous fungal creatures flickered, rushing straight towards the team’s location.
"Zeng Yi and Xie Liu! Move forward and clear all the swollen organisms around us, block the information transmission!"
"Lei Jie and He Shuo! Aim at the target direction and fire, three rounds of 107 shots in one volley!"
"Shen Yue and Li Shi, drive! Withdraw backwards first, get out of the haze range!"
"Ji Xing, intercept the approaching fungal creatures with me! Keep an eye on high-value targets!"
"Understood!"
A series of commands were given in an extremely short time, and the eight-person team swiftly completed their division of tasks.
A few seconds later, Lei Jie and He Shuo, having jumped out of the vehicle, completed their first shot in a crouching position. The ammo pods on their backs spewed flames, and guided by active infrared seekers, six 107-caliber rocket shells soared into the sky, trailing bright yellow flames as they plummeted towards the target.
It was as if a sky ladder was erected between the team and the monster, and as the ladder finally connected both sides, the enormous explosion sound erupted simultaneously.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Direct hit on the target!"
Lei Jie immediately reported back, but through the drone footage, the team saw a disappointing scene.
The monster hit by the rocket shells hadn’t suffered much damage at all.
Those intense explosions only blasted a few shallow pits on its thick "armor."
And under the force of gravity, the nearly semi-fluid, swamp-like humus quickly filled those shallow pits again!
Can’t penetrate!
Damn.
The Mechanical God Sect’s claim that "even the great cannon cannot penetrate" was about this affair?!
Chen Jian even felt a trickle of sweat forming on his forehead.
Yes, there was no carbon-based creature in this world that could withstand a barrage from the heavy artillery.
But what if it was hiding behind a thick shield?!
This monster chose a very clever evolutionary path; instead of futilely stacking some flashy but useless chitin armor, it simply buried itself in "dirt" in a crude yet effective way!
In such circumstances, trying to penetrate this layer of surface soil may need ground-penetrating bombs!
At this moment, the dark red haze released by the umbrella fungi group was rapidly spreading with the wind. Li Shi and Shen Yue floored the accelerator, quickly retreating, barely cutting out an arc to hide in the upwind section of the haze.
But this was only a temporary measure; the thick haze was still being continuously produced, and it wouldn’t be long before the entire area could be covered by the haze!
"Spread radius of 3 kilometers, still expanding!"
"Detected high concentrations of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide, toxic! Everyone, put on your masks, prepare to use air respirators!"
"Fungal creature swarms approaching, Ji Xing, prepare to engage!"
"Understood!"
With the command, Chen Jian simultaneously raised his explosive gun.
When the first fungal creature appeared, Chen Jian unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
The micro-grenade exploded upon hitting the fungal creature, blasting its body into two halves, and only then did Chen Jian suddenly discover that the skin color of these fungal creatures had changed.
From the original grayish-white, it turned into a dark red.
Were they also blending into the environment?
Or were they changed by the environment?
Visibility further decreased, making observation and target identification increasingly difficult.
When the thermal imaging means couldn’t function, the dynamic perception system of War Skull played a life-saving role.
Each active target was marked, and subsequently, after Chen Jian gave the automatic attack order, two direct-fire weapons mounted on the waist fired simultaneously.
"Bang bang bang bang----"
The gunfire continued unabated, and Chen Jian alone created the effect of a reinforced platoon.
Hundreds of fungal creatures were suppressed on the edge of the haze, unable to move, giving Chen Jian and his team precious breathing time.
But just then, the Second-level Monster in the distance suddenly began to wriggle and contract in an extremely uncanny manner.
"Careful! Raise the drone!"
At the first sign of the monster’s movement, Chen Jian gave the command, and in the next second, the slug-like monster suddenly raised its upper body.
Then, dozens of deep green spherical objects with diameters of at least 1 meter were launched into the air.
The flying speed of these spheres was extremely fast, and in just a few seconds, they were already overhead.
Fortunately, they did not fall directly.
"Spore clusters!"
