Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 365: Section 361 - Yellow Sparrow

The remnants of the giant mutant lurking under the sand accidentally triggered a fishing battle, and Team 04, with the railgun on their mobile base vehicle, targeted and bombarded the foothills without end, while those mutants intent on greedily devouring flesh did not realize that the nearby dead volcano might at any moment cast down deadly shells upon them.

A single 152 demolition bomb brought the feast to its climax, the mutants suffered heavy casualties, but there was even more flesh available for consumption, and the surviving mutants did not care about the impending doom that could befall them at any moment.

Big and small, solitary and in groups, burrowing in the sand and crawling on its surface, those capable of flight, gathered from all directions drawn by the stench of blood and flesh, solely to stuff their bellies.

As time passed, the land mine explosives placed among the flesh were gradually exhausted, leaving only the pounding of demolition bombs, while the mutants continued to advance in an unending stream, eating or being eaten, repeatedly playing out the same scene.

This kind of fueling fishing battle lasted a week; the stench covered a large expanse of the desert, and even the mutants that surrounded the nearby teams were attracted. From all directions, the mutants swarmed densely, and even the nearby dead volcano began to grow less safe, as the indiscriminate mutants climbed everywhere, and automatic weapons platforms were repeatedly activated and opened fire, knocking down another large group.

While the battle results were astounding, the ammunition carried by the space system alchemy storage device was greatly consumed, which also wore on the weapon systems themselves.

Chen Fei’s various caliber demolition bombs were exhausted, and it was then that Captain Adrian called down a powerful fire spell, "World-Ending Sea of Flames," from the sky.

The might of this Earth Order first-rank spell rivaled that of heavy incendiary bombings, engulfing the mutants participating in the bloody feast in an instant, with killing power that covered an area as large as a soccer field, slaughtering countless on the spot.

This was still due to the magic elements on Blue Star not being very active. If it were on Cangqiong Star, the effectiveness of Earth Order spells would increase by at least thirty percent, and Human Order spells could rise by at least one rank.

Terrifying flames surged endlessly for a quarter of an hour, turning everything into dust, then gradually died down.

The residual scorching heat prevented the few lucky mutants from approaching, as they roared in frustration outside the perimeter of the flames.

"It’s finally over!"

Waving his hand to dissipate the high temperatures around him, Adrian took a deep breath, his magic power still sufficient to support two more "World-Ending Sea of Flames."

Not only were the blood and flesh on the ground and the greedily feasting mutants completely annihilated, but even the sand had turned into contiguous patches of black matter.

The high temperature melted the sand, which solidified into a glass-like substance upon cooling down.

If they continued to let mutants gather, it was possible that the super-giant mutant, which was like a small hill and had appeared in a sandstorm before, would be attracted to the area.

Team 04’s worries were undoubtedly justified.

Not long after the bloody feast subsided, the liaison officer Rossi issued a warning to them; the super-giant mutant had suddenly changed direction, heading straight for the dead volcano’s mouth.

The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee sent out a crystal energy jet squadron and a bomber squadron, dropping twelve ground-penetrating thermobaric bombs and the jet squadron’s concerted strikes twice, which finally eradicated the mountainous monster born within the Central Great Desert, leaving no flesh that could attract other entities.

Even without this unimaginably huge creature, the mutual devouring among the mutants was like raising Gu; it could also produce some extraordinary breeds. Experience more content on novelbuddy

The mutants that survived were essentially the successful ones, with the mutations caused by devouring having a much higher survival rate than natural mutations. Mutation was like making a choice at a crossroad, with a zero tolerance for error—take the wrong path and it leads to a dead end, but if the right path is chosen, it opens onto a broad avenue.

Where one bird dies and ascends to heaven, another lives for tens of thousands of years.

The alluring stench that attracted the mutants dissipated; those who failed to achieve their desires began to kill and eat each other or fled in dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, a loud buzzing came from the sky as a dark cloud approached from a distance. Swarming toward the remaining mutants, a new carnage began; they were enormous mutant bees, with even the smallest rivaling the size of a bus.

"Are some new mutants coming?"

Having just replenished ammunition for the weapons platform, the big black guy Apu placed his palm on his brow and strained to observe these uninvited guests.

A dozen huge bees flew out from the cloud, their wings roaring as they flew over the mouth of the dead volcano, their compound eyes reflecting the platform at the mouth of the lava cave and the mobile base vehicle parked on it.

"It’s the Bee Mutant BF-1334! I thought they wouldn’t show up."

Before this, among the mutants participating in the bloody feast, the Bee Mutant BF-1334 had not been identified. Captain Adrian, who was observing mutant activities from the base platform at the lava cave entrance, thought they had been wiped out by the swarming mutants. Now it seemed they had unexpectedly survived.

Little did they anticipate that while the mantis catches the cicada, the yellow sparrow lies in wait; these creatures unexpectedly came to the dead volcano now, most likely to pick up the leftovers.

When two tigers fight, one is sure to be injured.

Not all mutants are fools; some are even exceptionally smart.

After suffering a significant setback at the Scorpion Mutant SS-0792, these bee mutants learned to be shrewd, thinking that Team 04 was severely weakened after a few days of resisting the numerous mutants and that they could take advantage of their weakness.

However, the mutants’ cleverness was quite presumptuous.

For Team 04, the sudden appearance of the Bee Mutant BF-1334 swarm brought some special intelligence.

It meant that the number of mutants near the dead volcano’s mouth was beginning to decrease, and Adrian’s "World-Ending Sea of Flames" had immediate effect.

Otherwise, these giant bees would not easily appear near their former nesting area, as they too would become food for the frenzied mutants.

"Adrian, their timing is perfect, eliminate them all at once and prevent future troubles!"

An A-level Psychic Ability User, Puppet Master Joseph, controlled his constructed puppet warriors as they operated various devices on the control consoles, preparing for the response.

He thought for a moment and added, "But it seems like we’re short on swift long-range attackers! Adrian and Chen Fei, your attacks are too powerful, the Pure Light Sparrow’s sustained attack isn’t enough, and our anti-air weapons consume too much ammunition. Let’s find a precision shooter later, the sniper from the Feathered Tribe in Team 18 would be a good fit. Adrian, maybe you could find some time to charm them?"

When dealing with those bee mutants in midair, Team 04’s members either lacked long-range capabilities, were too powerful, or didn’t have enough stamina, creating an anxious impasse.

But Joseph’s suggestion had some merit—as long as the hoe is swung well, any corner of the wall can be dug out.

"Hehe..."

The demonic laughter of Susanna, a B-level Ice Ability User, echoed through everyone’s earpiece, transmitted via a micro communicator. After chuckling for a few moments, she spoke again, "Ah, that Feathered Tribe lad is indeed quite handsome. After Adrian lures him back, don’t you guys fight over him with me!"

Now back to his peak, Earth Mage Ruan Tiankai spoke with a sour tone, "Eh? Susanna, are all the big men in our Team 04 not enough to satisfy you?"

"Oh oh... Ruan, are you getting jealous? Teehee!"

Puppet Master Joseph took the opportunity to make mocking noises.

"Boring!"

The rarely responsive Bassan, Clan Leader of the Neanderthal tribe, gave a brief reaction.

Most of the time, he was as silent as a mute gourd. Although he never shirked his duties and fought with dedication, he always kept his distance from others, remaining a detached observer without uttering a word.

"Stupid is as stupid does, dull is as dull does, old is as old does, poor is as poor does, short is as short does, dark is as dark does, and then there are the non-humans, the ones with spines, those with a penchant for bestiality, the eternally immature, those who only know how to play with action figures, of course only high-quality human males could satisfy me!"

Susanna laughed like a little demoness. Good lord, she’d managed to put all the members in one net with just one sentence.

Old Tree Boundary Ape Lulu’an: "..." It didn’t even know how it had been shot while lying down.

Chen Fei: "..." I’m poor, so I should die?!

Apu: "..." My darkness is natural!

Joseph: "..." Huh? Constructed puppets are considered action figures?

Ruan Tiankai: "..." Is a height of 1.6 meters considered short?

Kiterley: "..." This is Special Ability Armor, not spines, okay?

Knight Sam: "..." Where’s my four-hundred-meter great sword...

...

Except for Mouri Misono, who had a look of narrow escape, the rest of Team 04 was not doing so well.

Team 04 was a lone force deep in the desert, surrounded on all sides by endless terrifying mutants. Even though they could defend the seemingly safe base at the volcano’s mouth, reports of other teams’ casualties came daily, with all the pressure that entailed.

Their previous fishing strategy also carried serious risks. The slightest misstep could provoke a collective onslaught from all mutants. Even with the lava cave base and various defensive weapons, absolute safety couldn’t be guaranteed.

So, tossing around a few jokes occasionally didn’t really hurt, and no one took it to heart.

The seemingly flirtatious and fiery lady Susanna was actually very conservative, never daring to play for real. If anyone ever crossed the line, she would withdraw like a turtle, protecting herself tightly.

Twin Blades Sister Mouri Misono often became her shield.

"Hey, hey, back to the point, don’t just think about bringing people in, can’t you guys shoot accurately with your automatic weapons?"

Chen Fei quickly brought the increasingly off-topic discussion back and commanded the artificial intelligence AI.

"’Adam’, dense formation, don’t let a single one, except Xiao Jiu, get away!"

Adam: "Counter at 15, as you command, Second Uncle!"

Awakened, it’s another beautiful day.

This voice could only be heard by Chen Fei. To others, it seemed as though he was talking to himself.

But no one believed that Chen Fei was really speaking alone, because the freshly reloaded weapon platforms immediately sprang into action, with the anti-air dense formation systems aiming their barrels at the sky.

Fire roars through the sky!
