Volume 15 Gray Fog Forest Chapter 758: Breaking the Shield!
The former was named "Gray Mist Giant Bat" by Ark, meaning a giant bat-like creature that only appears in the Gray Mist Forest area; the latter is called "Iron Eater Bug". These bugs are very small in size, about the same size as flies on Earth, but they never appear alone. Each black cloud of insects contains hundreds of millions of iron eaters. These bugs can secrete a highly corrosive acidic substance. Wherever they pass, even the battleship armor that has been specially treated with anti-corrosion will become riddled with holes.
"The big ones haven't come out yet..." Ke Lan said in his heart - whether it was the "Ghost-faced Giant Owl", the "Gray Mist Giant Bat" or the "Iron-eating Bug", they could only be regarded as miscellaneous soldiers among the monsters that attacked the special operations fleet. And those "elite monsters" that could really pose a threat to the fleet were still lurking in the forest and thick fog, and did not appear in Ke Lan's sight.
"Could it be that the 'Shaojiang Kai' was just removed from the 'Friendly Army List', so the Gray Mist Forest hasn't reacted yet... or are those elite monsters more intelligent?"
Most of the biological weapons that broke out of the thick fog pounced on the huge target "Shaojiang Modified". Only a ghost-faced giant owl and a gray fog giant bat locked onto the Blasphemer Mech as their target.
"Don't kill them first, just deal with them." Ke Lan said to Valentina.
If these two monsters are dealt with too quickly, it will definitely attract more attention and attacks. For this biological weapon, the threat level and priority level of the Blasphemer Mecha will gradually increase.
Directly above Ke Lan and Valentina, the "Shaojiang Modified" frigate had adjusted the output power of its energy shield to the limit, but it still couldn't stop these biological weapons from rushing up like moths to a flame - although every biological weapon that crashed into it would be "cremated" by the energy shield in an instant, leaving only some ash-like broken bones that could penetrate this thin layer of light shield, but under the impact of thousands and tens of thousands of biological weapons one after another, the energy shield of the "Shaojiang Modified" was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I think the special operations fleet faced a similar situation when it entered the Gray Mist Forest airspace... No, that's not right. The situation was probably even worse back then..."
After all, the "elite monsters" described in the mission records that were so powerful that people even suspected that the officers and soldiers who participated in the mission had hallucinations have not appeared yet...
But even if those "elite monsters" are hallucinations of the parties involved, these miscellaneous soldiers alone are enough to overwhelm the special operations fleet with their numbers.
It was hard to imagine that such a large number of biological weapons could be hidden . These biological weapons flew out from the thick fog continuously, which made Ke Lan suspect that they were copied using CtrlC+CtrlV...
When the Blasphemer mecha was passing through the tree canopy before, Ke Lan saw many things like honeycombs fixed on the branches of the Mist Tree. Through the holes on the surface of the honeycombs, he could even see that they were filled with transparent and sticky egg-shaped objects.
These egg-shaped objects are alive, and there are larval biological weapons of various shapes wriggling inside.
Ke Lan had a feeling that these biological weapons were actually infertile... They could not mate with each other, but were guards without self-awareness bred by this forest.
Those beehives are not nests, but more like hatching rooms.
Just like the barracks in RTS games, as long as you keep sending resources into them, the barracks will continue to produce soldiers "out of thin air"...
"The energy shield of 'Shaojiang Modified' will soon collapse, but the charging of the plasma cannon will be completed soon." Valentina conveyed this information to Ke Lan through her consciousness.
"The 'Shaojiang Kai' has two energy shield generators, but if the first shield collapses due to overload, there will be a brief gap when switching between the two shields. We can take this opportunity to destroy its main gun." Ke Lan's attention was all focused on the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate. He analyzed the images frame by frame through time stop, and then passed the information to Valentina.
"If three more Ghostface Giant Owls... no, two more crash into us, the energy shield of Shaojiang Kai will be at its limit. The gap between shield switching is only about 0.25 seconds. The speed of plasma flight is not as fast as laser. We have to get closer."
"learn."
Valentina controlled the Blasphemer mecha and swung a sword to the right, blocking the claws of the Ghost-Faced Giant Owl that was pouncing on it. Then, using the reaction force, the thruster nozzles on the back instantly adjusted their positions, raising the height of the entire machine by more than a hundred meters again.
Now, the Blasphemer mecha was less than two hundred meters away from the plasma cannon in the belly of the "Shaojiang Modified" that was charging. Ke Lan could already see through the muzzle the plasma ball that was about to take shape in the barrel.
Using extremely high-power lasers to heat heavy hydrogen to millions of degrees, the electrons of hydrogen atoms are separated from the nuclei and become free electrons, and then the electromagnetic field is used to wrap up the particles and launch them. This is the working principle of a plasma cannon... In fact , plasma also exists in life... For example, the most common flame, as long as the temperature is high enough, it can be regarded as plasma... But the energy released by plasmas of different atoms is not the same. As the "cannonballs" of a plasma cannon, the energy released by heavy hydrogen atoms in the plasma state is enough to rival nuclear fusion.
"Now!"
When the last ghost-faced giant owl crashed into the energy shield and turned to ashes, the energy shield covering the entire "Shaojiang Kai" flickered and then disappeared completely - at the same time, a fist-sized ball of plasma was fired from the muzzle of the Blasphemer Mech and accurately hit the muzzle of the "Shaojiang Kai" main gun.
Ke Lan did not hear the loud explosion he had imagined. The noisy external environment suddenly became extremely quiet. All he could observe was the endless dazzling white light.
The strength of the Blasphemer mecha's energy shield was rapidly decreasing, and the alarms were ringing. As for the external armors, they had long since given up on the load and were exploding one after another. The flying parts were vaporized the moment they were engulfed by the white light, leaving no trace of residue.
"Descend! Descend!" Ke Lan shouted in the synchronized consciousness, "We retreated back to the forest! The canopy of the mist tree can bear most of the aftermath of the explosion for us!"
