On the blade of a golden-red blade condensed like a flame, the flames of high temperature are entangled.

Halfatta wielded the Wyvern Blade Black Flare, slicing through the threads that connected the metal parts to the massive bricks.

She didn't expect that the target of this new sword, which had just been built for the first time, was not a monster, but these silk threads with amazing toughness.

I have to say that under the scorching heat of the high-temperature flames on the blade, the efficiency of this Taidao in cutting insect silk is much stronger than the previous Night Knife [Moon Shadow].

Dragging his seriously injured body, he was embarrassed to deal with the onslaught of the two great sword envoys, while trying to build the ruin, and the progress was frequently interrupted because the worm silk was repeatedly destroyed.

The Pavilion Mantis realized that if it continued like this, it might not be able to build a complete market until it died.

So it decided to change its strategy and take it one step at a time.

The tail segment and the blade arm of the foot that was holding the worm silk slammed into force, and the large and small parts that had not had time to cut the connection rose into the air and fell towards the side of the pavilion mantis.

Gordon and Aza dodged again and again, lest they be crushed by the parts, which could easily be tons or even tens of tons.

This crackling came down, and Gordon Asa dodged in time without being injured, but his movement was greatly restricted.

They felt as if they had suddenly arrived in a chaotic warehouse full of miscellaneous items, and their walking and swinging swords were affected, and there were a lot of silk threads tangled between the parts, making it extremely difficult to even get close to the Pavilion Mantis.

Not only them, but even Anhill, who was constantly sniping from a distance, had to pause firing.

The Pavilion Mantis seemed to be in a labyrinth of huge parts, and the shooting boundary was almost completely obscured.

"Hayata!"

Gordon struggled to wield his sword to clean the worm silk as he shouted to summon "Tool Man".

His [Shenwei] greatsword and Asa's Horned King Sword can also cut through insect silk, but the efficiency is very low, and it often takes several swords to cut a little, which is far less neat than the fire-attribute flying dragon sword [Black Yao].

Hayatta came at a gallop.

Equipped with the Fire Tai Knife, she can basically be said to have given up the attack on the Pavilion Mantis itself, and her only purpose at the moment is to cut off the worm silk and delay the construction of the ruin, and open the way for her companions.

While the hunters worked hard to break down the obstacles, the Pavilion Mantis was given a brief respite.

Its limbs move rapidly, "clumping" the filaments that connect the many parts, and at the same time constantly spitting out more filaments to reinforce it.

A golden cocoon made entirely of insect silk is rapidly formed.

Anhill, who was constantly adjusting the angle in the distance and looking for a firing route, noticed all this through the scope.

He quickly recognized that the cocoon that the Pavilion Mantis was building was the "control center" he had seen on the mechanical behemoth before.

This thing must be the key to building the ruin, and Anhill quickly reloaded the fierce [Shiyu] with two armor-piercing grenades, locked onto the cocoon and quickly pulled the trigger.

Ballista bullets flew in.

However, the mantis's dynamic vision and reaction speed were amazingly strong, and at the moment when the ballista was about to hit the cocoon, it suddenly moved quickly, blocking the cocoon.

A piercing grenade landed on its back, then exploded.

"Twitter——!" The pavilion mantis screamed in pain, but its movements did not slow down in the slightest.

As a key node in controlling the ruins, this kind of cocoon is not as random as it seems, a large pile of silk threads and something.

In order to nimble the various parts of the mechanical behemoth, the structure of this cocoon is actually very complex and sophisticated, and it is likely to fall short if it was destroyed during the manufacturing process.

So it would rather block the ballista with its body than be affected by the cocoon.

"It's making a hub out of worm silk!" Anhill, who couldn't find the angle of shooting for a while, shouted: "Knock out the center, otherwise the ruin city will soon take shape!" ”

Gordon reacted, the "center" in Anhill's mouth should refer to the two small cocoons on the mechanical giant beast before, except for the giant cocoon where the body of the pavilion mantis was located.

Hayatta also realized this, and without any warning, she immediately stopped opening the way, and prepared to use the advantage of the dagger to make her body flexible, and rushed through the intricate silk threads like spider webs alone, towards the position of the pavilion mantis.

But it's still a step too late.

The mantis, which had completed the cocoon regiment with the shot of a crossbow, pulled and manipulated the silk thread at a speed that the best puppeteers could not match.

With the help of the cocoon center, the speed of parts stacking suddenly increased by several steps.

The market city rose from the ground almost in the blink of an eye.

However, perhaps due to the severity of the injuries and the lack of time and interference, the Pavilion Mantis was unable to build a complete mechanical behemoth.

The scale of the market in front of him is only half the size of the previous mechanical behemoth, and in terms of shape, it is almost the front half of the mechanical behemoth, unable to move and walk, and has no head.

But this is also enough to raise the strength of the Pavilion Mantis to another level.

The winged claws composed of the dragon lance and the huge steel beam swung down one after another, as if to vent the anger in its heart.

"That guy is vibrationally sensitive, right?" Even when it was the first time he faced the market, the experienced Asa still realized the key for the first time.

"Don't move yet." After a brief remark, he began to run on his own.

Sure enough, the Pavilion Mantis immediately manipulated its two winged claws and chased after Asa.

Gordon Hayatta waited for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into high speed and charged at full speed towards the market.

"Attack the silk thread on your feet!" Gordon roared and took his sword.

Hayatta immediately unleashed an air blade slash.

In the flames and sword light, the silk threads wrapped around the behemoth's ankles were severed.

The hastily constructed bazaar, which was only half a body, had only two legs to support its balance, and one of them lost control, and the bazaar suddenly tilted badly, and its movements were temporarily stagnant.

"Climb up!"

Gordon raised his greatsword and rested it diagonally on the mechanical behemoth's lap.

Aware of this, Hayatta put away her sword and took a few steps back, then rushed forward, stepped on Gordon's shoulder, and then leveraged the back of her sword to leap onto the mechanical behemoth's knees, and then continued to climb rapidly upward.

Her eyes were fixed on the center on the back of the mechanical behemoth.

As long as this cocoon is resolved, the newly pulled up market city will collapse again!

With all his strength, he quickly climbed onto the back of the mechanical beast, and before he could draw his weapon, the mechanical beast under his feet shook violently.

Looking sideways at the pavilion mantis not far away, even the "cockpit" has not had time to build.

The latter was also looking at her.

"Whoa——!

The Pavilion Mantis screamed, manipulating the mechanical behemoth, driving its wingclaws to smash at her.

The mechanical behemoth's back is uneven, it is difficult to dodge, and it doesn't matter how many attacks it dodges, if you don't solve the center as soon as possible and destroy the ruin, the battle will be endless.

How to quickly chop through the center of that two-meter-diameter thread

Shenwei Juhe? Smashing down the mechanical wingclaw will not give her a chance to recharge.

Air blade slash? There is not such a good window for attack.

I had to take the risk.

This is a trick that she has practiced secretly, but because she has no flying insects, she can't reach that starting speed, and she has never been able to practice.

However, in a state of courage, my control over my body has been greatly improved, so I may be able to give it a try!

"Boom!"

The mechanical wing-claw slammed down, and Hayatta leaped away and flashed with a big stride.

With the inertia of the backward jump, her legs flexed slightly, and her calf muscles and knees tensed like compressed springs.

Immediately after, it turned into a rapid afterimage, rushed forward, and almost in a flash came to the central cocoon.

Her body swirled, and the Flying Dragon Knife [Black Yao] continuously cut across the central cocoon, and the blade light wrapped around the fire and the red light of the air blade flashed continuously, and the scattered fighting energy fluttered like cherry blossoms.

Sakura slash!

The cocoon is divided into three and falls diagonally.

The ruin, which had lost its only center, began to crumble.
