Chapter 82: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
After a night, the torrential rain weakened, and the ground that had been watered for more than ten hours was still burning to the feet. On the freshly formed volcanic rocks, some people with rags wrapped around their hands and feet are running back and forth on all fours, enjoying a feast from heaven.
The previous day's rain master appeared, attracting a large number of people and horses within a radius of 100 miles to catch the rain. Because everyone's energy was all about grabbing water, the people who died in the battle did not have time to drag them away, and lay down on the banks of the scorching quicksand river for a night, and some of them were directly roasted and became a delicious meal for the cannibals.
A creature with a weak constitution failed to grab a spot, and after a long time of hard work, snatched a small piece of steaming meat from the feet of his companions in a circle, and before he could take a bite, he was shaken to the ground by a sudden shock.
Earthquakes like this are common near the lava river, and everyone else is used to it, and they are not interrupted to eat. But instead of picking up the meat on the ground, the hungry little man stared at a basin not far away, pointing to it and shouting warningly.
His companions looked over there one after another, and they all screamed, throwing down their food and fleeing, hiding behind the protruding rocks to watch carefully.
A large cobweb-like crack appeared in the center of the basin, and then it collapsed violently, with a low roar, like the roar of a giant beast.
In the heat, a huge steel body rose from the ground. Six thick robotic arms gripped the ground around the perimeter and propped up the scarred fuselage. Its armor was red, most of it peeled off, flashing with sparks, and its skeleton-exposed fuselage loomed through the mist, flashing a few terrifying red lights.
Several pillars of magma erupted from under the collapsed ground, making the image of the giant beast even more hideous. As it climbed to the ground completely, the vibration grew stronger, scaring the curious cannibals into flight.
"There is an anomaly in the quicksand river area, and a large mechanical target has been discovered!"
"The Heavenly Soldiers are rushing to the target location."
"The sniper is in place."
"All units are on standby, the target is still in the soul collection blind zone, no attack!"
A dense army appeared above the steel behemoth, circling around it, countless sensors scanning it, quite afraid of the sudden appearance of the monster.
"The model has been confirmed, the target is the Dijiang MK.I tank!"
"The target threat level is the highest, Level A alert! Repeat, A-level alert! β
The besieging troops were like facing a great enemy, and in an instant, they all opened their protective shields, watching this dangerous enemy move slowly, but they did not dare to attack easily.
The Dijiang chariot retracted its six mechanical arms, folded them at its side to form tracks, and immediately increased its speed, dragging its broken body with sparks and smoke coming out of it, and galloped away from the quicksand river.
Luo Han came to his commander and reported quickly: "Direct instructions from the Buddha forbid to destroy the Dijiang chariot, stop it at all costs, and raise the priority of the task above the original mission. β
In other words, don't care about the lives of those three people for the time being? Manjushri closed his eyes and pondered, although in this case it was possible to use a concussion bomb to destroy the power system inside the chariot regardless of the casualties of the driver, the condition of that chariot looked bad and could be destroyed at any time.
He understood the special significance of this chariot, and knew that what the Buddha wanted was not a ruined emperor.
The Black Bear Spirit, the cunning Mo Quli, destroyed all the designs after they were caught, and processed his own memories early, shattering key parts and making them unable to obtain information through soul torture. As a result, a large part of the incredible technology used by the golden cicadas has not been recycled, which is the biggest mockery of them.
Recovering the Dijiang chariot and restoring its manufacturing technology is much more important than a few troublemakers who sabotaged Journey to the West.
However, if it is a coincidence, Manjushri will never believe that the chariot appeared in the area where the three people disappeared. In connection with the previous highly planned performances, he decided that the enemy had definitely come to the Liusha River for a purpose, and their purpose was the Dijiang Chariot.
Although the chariot seems to be badly damaged, but with its glorious records, no one doubts that it still has the strength to break through among tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers.
However, thinking that if you get Dijiang, you will definitely be able to escape? It's naΓ―ve!
"Keep up with it and do it as soon as the target is out of the blind spot."
"Yes, sir!"
The order was instantly conveyed to the control center of each heavenly soldier, and this army full of sky lined up in a neat formation, following the Dijiang chariot.
In a short time, the tank was already on the edge of the blind spot. The corners of Manjushri's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, the enemy was really panicked, there was no blind spot ahead, and it was too conceited to want to rely on Dijiang to break out like this.
"It's time to launch directional waves and destroy all the creatures in the car!"
With his command, a group of heavenly soldiers automatically divided into groups of three, spliced the electric shock forks together, and also stretched out special interfaces on their bodies to combine with each other. The array of celestial soldiers covers all angles in front of the vehicle, using its internal oscillations to send out directional waves, penetrating the armor and directly killing internal targets.
After a wave of attacks, the chariot did not stop, but Manjushri was sure that the chariot without its driver was no longer able to perform effective evasive maneuvers, even with automatic counter-attack weapons. So he let a group of heavenly soldiers descend to the ground, stop directly in front of the Dijiang River, turn on the jets behind him, and slow down the chariot.
At this moment, the chariot suddenly exploded!
The dazzling white light engulfed everything, and the heavenly soldiers in the air shook at the same time, and those who were close were directly blown away by the shock wave, and the others almost fell. After the loud bang, the white light dissipated, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose on the ground.
Damn, it's been put on the table! Manjushri re-stabilized his flying machine, and after a short period of distraction, he immediately connected to the reincarnation network to inquire about the capture of the souls of the three people.
"Error, object not found."
How so? I obviously killed them in the effective collection area, how could I not catch them?
Was it not on the tank from the beginning?
Manjushri waved his hand irritably, and asked the Heavenly Soldiers to check the explosion site, and the result of the return was that the Dijiang MK.I had been completely destroyed due to an explosion caused by an overload of the energy core, leaving no valuable wreckage behind.
He suddenly realized something, and hurriedly commanded the reconnaissance plane to return to the quicksand river area to search for the enemy's traces, but naturally found nothing.
I actually fell for such a low-level trick to tune the tiger from the mountain!
"Manjushri." The image of Rulai suddenly appeared in front of him, startling Manjushri, who was about to vent.
"Buddha...... This time the estimate is insufficient, and I am really ashamed to have repeatedly fallen into the enemy's tricks. He bowed his head respectfully.
Rulai did not condemn his mistakes, and said calmly: "No one would have thought that they would even be willing to use the Dijiang chariot as bait, and the means were ruthless enough. However, it also proves that our enemies are indeed closely related to the anti-thief Golden Cicada. Their courage to self-destruct Dijiang shows that they have the ability to rebuild. The arrest operation is about to be re-planned. β
At the same time, the white dragon on the other side was being stopped by Xuanzang and Tianpeng together, preventing this emotionally uncontrollable girl from rushing back.
"Let go of me! Let me go! β
"Forget it, Miss Bailong, it's basically just an empty shell before it leaves."
"But it's Dijiang! The first legacy I encountered! The white dragon was heartbroken, "And I controlled it with my own hands and did all this, I killed it with my own hands!" β
Xuanzang asked helplessly: "So why did you start wailing until now?" Obviously, I was able to control myself just now. β
"It's intellectually acceptable, emotionally unacceptable, you know!" The white dragon glanced at him resentfully, "No! You don't understand! You ruthless fellow! β
As he spoke, he struggled with a painful face. Jing Ruri stood beside him, looking at them inexplicably. After a long time, she took out the ghost engine from her back and silently handed it to the white dragon.
Bai Long stopped his movements instantly, and his expression became serious in a second: "What to do, I don't want you to give alms." After saying that, he twisted his face to the side, shook off the hands of the two, and walked away on his own.
Jing Liuli looked at Xuanzang and Tianpeng and blinked. Tian Peng comforted: "Don't worry, Miss Bailong, she is just ......" I didn't know what words to use to describe it for a while.
"Think of it as an emotional experiment." Xuanzang looked at the white back and smiled.
