Chapter 531 - 531 Losing Control of the Mechs
531 Losing Control of the Mechs
Wu Mo’s predictions had been accurate. The missiles were aimed at the Dark Ghoul’s eyes, which tended to be the weak point of many creatures.
However, the attack only made the Dark Ghoul even more furious and violent.
The Dark Ghoul kept letting out deafening roars, and it sounded like heaven’s wrath was traveling in all directions. The sound waves from the roars quickly spread across the surface of the sea and disappeared into the depths.
According to the latest monitoring equipment, the sound waves traveled faster and farther on the water’s surface. A tense atmosphere soon filled the command center.
“This is bad. It’s calling for backup!”
One of the officers made an accurate judgment of the situation.
The Dark Ghoul did not roar just to vent its anger; it was calling out to its fellow ghouls.
When they thought of the several hundred ghoulish sea monsters that had emerged from the wormhole, an ominous feeling welled up in their hearts.
Wu Mo immediately used the long-range interference system to warn Dongfang Moyu, “Be careful! There might be other sea monsters coming!”
Dongfang Moyu heard Wu Mo’s warning, and a resolute light flashed in his eyes. He knew that there might be other sea monsters rushing over to aid the Dark Ghoul.
However, he was full of confidence, so he decided to maneuver his mech to kill the Dark Ghoul before him.
“Kill!” Dongfang Moyu roared furiously and took a big step forward.
The two sabers in the mech’s hands danced like phantoms and slashed out in quick succession.
Dongfang Moyu and Hong Peng had completely different styles.
Hong Peng’s mech was as agile as an ape, and his combat techniques were skillful.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Moyu was like a cold swordsman. His blade techniques were incomparably swift and fierce. As such, his mech’s blade left numerous shadows, which were difficult to catch.
As expected, the Dark Ghoul was covered in wounds following Dongfang Moyu’s fierce dual-blade attack.
However, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on the Dark Ghoul’s face.
Immediately after, two terrifying triangular rays shot out from its pupils, and they pierced through the mech’s outer shell.
“What? How is this possible?”
Dongfang Moyu never thought that the Dark Ghoul would still be able to shoot out triangular rays from its eyes at such a critical moment.
“Die!” Dongfang Moyu shouted furiously.
He promptly pushed a lever, and the mech’s two blades danced like a storm. They instantly formed a sharp blade and trident combo that smashed toward the enemy.
Just then, Dongfang Moyu suddenly sensed a few sea monsters rushing toward them from hundreds of meters deep in the sea. He could see them through the panoramic surveillance inside the mech.
“Oh, no! I have to retreat immediately!”
Dongfang Moyu’s mind was spinning rapidly. He clearly understood that if he did not retreat quickly, he would not be able to escape.
One should know that once the mech was trapped there, he would not be able to escape!
Without hesitation, Dongfang Moyu maneuvered his mech and sped toward the shore.
However, at this moment, the sound of surging waves rose from the sea around him.
Hualala!
Many sea monsters that resembled the Dark Ghoul but were slightly smaller emerged from the water. At a glance, there were more than thirty of them.
“This is not good. Send reinforcements immediately!”
Wu Mo, who was in the command center, felt his heart tremble.
Reinforcements arrived very quickly! Hong Peng had already killed the Troll and was rushing over.
It’s worth mentioning that Hong Peng’s previous battle location was extremely close to Dongfang Moyu’s. Thus, he could swim directly to his next location without much water resistance.
Due to his rapid travel speed, Hong Peng’s mech came into view in less than half an hour.
At this point, Dongfang Moyu’s mech was riddled with injuries. Many parts of its outer shell were damaged, while the core control system was partially damaged.
Plenty of electricity was flowing out of the wires, and there were exploding sparks. It was in danger.
Seeing this, Hong Peng’s heart tightened.
However, he activated the high-density laser in his mech without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Beams of light streaked across the sky like sharp arrows and instantly killed a few sea monsters.
When Wu Mo saw this, he realized that the defense of these sea monsters was far inferior to that of the Dark Ghoul.
He assumed that these sea monsters were most likely ordinary members of their tribe. As for the Dark Ghoul, it was either their leader or a monster that was higher up in the hierarchy.
Seeing that the laser was effective, Hong Peng quickly fired more high-density laser beams while he approached Dongfang Moyu.
“Hurry up and get over here. I’ll cover you!” Hong Peng shouted through his mech’s communication device.
His voice echoed in Dongfang Moyu’s control room.
Right then, Dongfang Moyu was drenched in sweat.
Although he had excellent mental fortitude, fear seemed inevitable when he was injured and surrounded by so many sea monsters.
He was overjoyed when Hong Peng rushed over to support him. He gritted his teeth and moved his mech forward!
At this moment, his mech charged forth like a mighty excavator and swept two of the sea monsters aside.
However, the number of sea monsters was increasing. Right now, there were close to a hundred of them, and their ferocious eyes seemed to harbor deep hatred for the two mechs.
Boom!
The sea monsters attacked in unison. Each of them condensed a lightning-like substance and threw it at the two mechs!
“D*mn it! These guys can create lightning?”
The two mech pilots never expected this.
When so many sea monsters could create lightning, the terrifying power they produced was shocking!
Dense bolts of lightning descended from the sky and stunned everyone in the command center.
Not long after, Dongfang Moyu’s mech suffered even more serious damage, and its movements grew increasingly slow. Clearly, its control system had been severely damaged.
“I can’t take it anymore. I can feel my control over the mech getting weaker and weaker. If this continues, I’ll lose control sooner or later!”
Dongfang Moyu finally started panicking. He quickly turned to Hong Peng for help.
Hong Peng pondered for a moment and said without hesitation, “In that case, follow me. I’ll bring you to the shore!”
“Great!”
Dongfang Moyu immediately nodded and merged with Hong Peng’s mech.
With that, Hong Peng waved his arms like a brave warrior as he broke the waves and defeated one sea monster after another by releasing high-density laser beams.
However, the Dark Ghoul suddenly condensed a triangular beam and attempted to sneak in an attack.
Shua!
The beam brushed past the head of Hong Peng’s mech and left a hole there.
Fortunately, Wu Mo had already predicted such attacks on the mech’s head, so he had strengthened its protection.
The beam only penetrated the filling material and did not damage the core controls.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Hong Peng’s murderous intent grew more and more resolute. His mech continued to defeat the sea monsters and gradually approached the shore.
Even though Dongfang Moyu was injured, he still tried his best to maneuver his mech to attack and support Hong Peng.
At this moment, the two mech pilots were united against a common enemy. They marched forward bravely and slaughtered the sea monsters as they gradually approached the shore.
Eventually, they were only a hundred meters away from the shore.
Unfortunately, the number of sea monsters grew larger and larger. They went completely ballistic and launched terrifying lightning attacks again!
Rumble!
Lightning descended like a violent tornado and shocked everyone!
At this moment, the two mechs finally could not take it anymore. Their control systems were severely damaged, and the two pilots lost control of their mechs.
“D*mn it! Why won’t it move?”
