Chapter 46: Self-detonation
The sound of striking iron in the courtyard continued, and everyone's focus involuntarily shifted.
With the shouting of one of the contractors, the spears and short cannons that were originally aimed at Mandel and Erro turned their muzzles one after another, and Xu Yue, who was beating up, froze, and at the moment when all the muzzles were aimed at him, a subtle tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
Without the slightest hesitation, when he sensed the beast's intuitive warning, he stopped his thrashing movement, protected the hammer in front of him, and after stomping his feet hard, his body flew out.
As soon as he left the mech's lying position, a large field of fireworks from the explosion exploded in front of him, and then a large number of bullet chains and cannonballs pierced through the fireworks and attacked him, but they were eventually blocked by the heavy hammer in his hand.
The wide side of the Bolang hammer is like a shield, firmly protecting his upper body, Xu Yue holds the hammer handle in one hand, lays it flat with the other, and uses his forearm against the other side of the hammer, feeling the continuous impact on the hammer, his body slowly retreats.
As he stepped back, he poked his eyes out of the hammer and looked at the mech's position, where the fireworks from the explosion had been extinguished, and a large expanse of white gas appeared in its place, spewing out from the various blast holes around the mech.
The flames that were originally tightly wrapped around the fuselage, after losing Xu Yue's control, already had a tendency to collapse, and after the impact of this white gas, it was now directly dispersed.
After getting rid of the two threats of the hammer and the fire one after another, the mecha finally regained its mobility, that is, this action looked extremely stuck, and after struggling to get up, the mecha was just about to take a step, and a wisp of black smoke suddenly rose from all over the body, and then the whole mecha fell straight down again as if it was dead.
After Xu Yue's beating just now, the body of the mecha has been deformed in many places, and the internal has also been damaged by the fire in many places.
Behind the heavy hammer, Xu Yue, who watched the mecha fall to the ground, was slightly relieved, although he didn't hammer it to death once, but it was also a good result to make it temporarily incapacitated, after losing the entanglement of the mecha, he could first deal with the miscellaneous fish that were in the way, and finally solve it.
The impact from the hammer surface continued, but the strength continued to weaken, Xu Yue looked at the direction of the artillery fire, where in addition to the fireworks from the muzzle, there would also be bright holy light and blue thunder from time to time, it was Mandel and Erro who were also exerting their strength, and under the wandering attack, they began to attract most of the firepower.
Now the intensity of the firepower from the bombardment was no longer enough to make Xu Yue retreat, he stood still, changed his posture of holding the hammer, held the hammer handle with both hands and swung it, first hammered the ammunition in front of him into fragments, and then he held the end of the hammer handle and began to rotate in place.
The Bolang hammer seemed to have turned into a chain ball, and under Xu Yue's rotation, the hammer head turned into a black shadow, and a whirlwind was torn out with Xu Yue as the center, and the ammunition from front of it was torn apart as soon as it entered the range of the whirlwind.
After rotating more than a dozen times, the kinetic energy accumulated by the hammer head became more and more terrifying, and after feeling that it was almost over, Xu Yue aimed at the target and let go!
The whirlwind formed around Xu Yue was directly torn apart at the moment when the hammer flew out, and in the whistling sound, the hammer shot out with overwhelming momentum, and under the artillery fire, the hammer destroyed all the obstacles along the way, and in the panicked eyes of the contractors in the front row, the hammer smashed straight into the crowd of the mechanical mission.
"Boom!"
The hammer fell to the ground, the earth trembled slightly, the dust flew, and a contractor in the crowd who couldn't dodge was smashed into minced meat on the spot, the heavy hammer stood in a hole, the front end was full of scarlet, a silver palm fell on the handle of the hammer, and the next second, the hammer disappeared, and a pair of military boots stepped into the ground and spread out a piece of minced meat.
On the battlefield on the other side of the courtyard, the heavy hammer smashed a large cloud of yellow smoke and dust in the center of the crowd gathered by the mechanical envoys, and outside the smoke and dust were the contractors who were distributed in a circle, and the few closest to the smoke and dust were barely dodged at the last moment, and now they were looking at the smoke and dust in front of them and gasping for breath, trying to digest the fear that still lingered in their hearts.
Looking at the momentum in front of them, if they hesitated for a second just now, they are estimated to have died on the spot.
"What's the situation, what kind of thing is smashing over, the movement is so big."
"I didn't see it clearly, I was busy beating those two natives just now."
On the periphery of the crowd, some contractors with their backs to the smoke and dust were also attracted by the loud noise coming from behind them, and turned their heads to ask, and several contractors who were watching the hammer flying were about to speak, when a whistling sound sounded from the center of the crowd.
I saw a Fang Tian painting halberd suddenly stretched out from the smoke and dust that had not yet subsided, and before everyone could react, the long halberd had already swung out a silver ring, and the fierce wave of qi swirled, tearing the smoke and dust to pieces, and all the creatures within a radius of three meters were torn apart.
Flesh and blood were splashed, fragments were splashed, with Xu Yue as the center, although the contractors three meters away were not hit by the halberd, they were also splashed with blood, and after the entire courtyard was quiet for a moment, a sharp scream suddenly sounded.
"Run!!"
The contractor in the near area is running frantically, the contractor in the distance is turning the muzzle, and in the center, Xu Yue swept through the chaotic crowd around him, his eyes were indifferent, but the corners of his mouth quietly cracked a gap, and he still wanted to run when he got close?
A pit exploded under his feet, Xu Yue turned into a black shadow and disappeared, and when he was re-revealed, a dying contractor was already hanging on the tip of the halberd, and blood slipped from the corner of the contractor's mouth, dripping on the head of the halberd and smashing a series of notes.
Noticing that the whole body of the contract hanging on the halberd began to glow red, Xu Yue quickly lifted the halberd on his head, and a corpse that was divided into two pieces from his chest upwards fell to the ground, and the red light on his body disappeared.
'The self-detonation skill can also be triggered when it is in a near-death state, and the trigger time is greater than three seconds, and it can be dissolved after complete death. ’
After quickly sorting out the information obtained through observation in his mind, Xu Yue no longer had any scruples, this self-detonation skill was not too difficult to deal with, the halberd in his hand swept, and a running contractor on the right side was cut off by the halberd crescent, and his body fell to both sides, as long as the contractor who was about to self-detonate was solved within three seconds.
The boots crushed the wailing head on the ground, and his figure disappeared again, and in a flash, another bloody flower bloomed in the fleeing crowd.
Around Xu Yue, this group of contractuals who were running around were basically long-range crispy, and after being close to Xu Yue, they could be called sheep in the mouth of a tiger and were wantonly slaughtered.
Most of the people who chose the mechanical department were developing towards long-range bombing in the early stage, and 80% of the members of the mechanical mission, a low-level adventure group composed entirely of mechanical-based contractors, were long-range, that is, the pile around Xu Yue.
In addition, the strongest main Tan mecha is still lying on the other side of the battlefield, and the few remaining melee mechs are quite far away from the rear because of the pursuit of Mandel and Airro, and now after finding that the rear is lost, when they want to come to the rescue, they are entangled by the two people who chased and killed just now.
Because of this, Xu Yue's slaughter of these long-range crispy skins was unhindered, but in a minute, the rear was completely emptied, and the roar of artillery fire on the battlefield finally stopped.
Sticky blood flowed down the silver metal skin, and Xu Yue stood in a pool of blood and looked at the few melee contractors who were stopped by Mandel and Ellro not far away, and the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand roared softly.
"You're all the only ones left."
Three minutes later, as the tip of the halberd was inserted into the chest of the last contractor, Xu Yue turned the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand, and the crescents on both sides seemed to turn into a meat grinder, twisting the upper body of the contractor into a puddle of rotten meat.
As far as the eye can see, only Xu Yue and the three of them are still standing in the entire courtyard, blood is flowing on the ground, and there is no one in the corpses all over the ground that still has an intact human form, most of them are stump flesh.
After the battle subsided, El Luo looked at Xu Yue's eyes a little wrong, although as a military priest, he killed not a small number of people, but it was the first time he had seen such a cruel and ferocious killing method.
Xu Yue ignored El Luo's eyes, and it was not because of his brutal personality that he made the scene so miserable, but because he wanted to make sure that the group of explosive maniacs of the Mechanical Mission were completely dead.
As a mechanical department, these people are all masters of playing bombs, and the first thing they do when they join the group is to turn their bodies into a bomb that can be detonated through consciousness, as long as there is still breath left, then they can pull the enemy along.
So Xu Yue chose to beat them to slag, after all, this is the most simple death, and there is still a possibility of a few remaining breaths after cutting their throats and piercing their hearts, but Xu Yue doesn't believe that after being crushed into a mess of rotten meat, they can still be conscious.
Now that the contractors in the courtyard have been basically cleaned up, and the only threat is the lying mecha, Xu Yue set his eyes on the location of the previous mecha.
found that the other party had actually stood up again, except for the various pits that were hammered out by Xu Yue on the body, the current mecha couldn't see the appearance of the corpse that had been scrapped before.
The mecha stood alone in the corner of the courtyard, its red one-eyed sweeping over and over the broken corpses all over the ground in front of it, as if to determine something.
After continuing this action for a few seconds, the mecha's one-eyed eye met Xu Yue's still indifferent gaze, and the red light in one-eyed became more and more vigorous.
"You're good, really nice......"
The electronic sound grows from small to loud until it becomes a sharp tone:
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to die!!"
With a sharp howl, the mecha began to run, and as the speed increased, the red light from the mecha's one-eye began to spread to its entire body.
Xu Yuekong, who was the target of the collision, shrank suddenly, and quickly reacted to what the other side was going to do, the self-explosion of ordinary contractors has a lot of power, and once the mecha in front of him that is more than three meters tall and weighs several tons explodes, the power is absolutely unimaginable.
The opposite side is obviously already starting the self-detonation program, although it is not clear whether the self-detonation time of this mecha is also three seconds, but even if it is more than three seconds, it will not be too long, and it is obviously impossible to smash the opposite mecha in a short time, before he hammered nearly a hundred hammers in a row and did not hammer the opposite side, and now it is completely foolish to think that it will only take a few seconds.
So the only way to survive is to hide, all the pros and cons flashed in Xu Yue's mind the moment he saw the red light of the mecha, and he first shouted to the two people around him who were preparing to meet the enemy.
"Quick, make a hole in the ground, and the other side will blow itself up!"
After explaining, he quickly put the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand aside, and then took out the Bolang Hammer in the storage space, and a bone ring on his finger began to emit a ghostly blood light, and the savage skill that he was reluctant to open when he fought against the hard mecha before was decisively opened at this moment.
Savage (Active): Consumes 10% health, caster strength +3, stamina plus +2, pain reduction by 20%, duration 5 minutes.
After the savage start, he felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling and burning, and the surging sense of power surged up to his limbs, without hesitation, after the strength increased, he held the Bolang hammer in his hand and threw it out after a few turns, and the heavy hammer slammed into the legs of the rushing mecha with majestic power.
The calf that was already beaten by Xu Yue was not lightly injured, and after another collision with a flying hammer, it directly reversed, and after a crisp click, the mecha whose calf was broken while running fell to the ground heavily.
And Xu Yue didn't care about the heavy hammer that flew out after seeing the mecha landing, he picked up the Fang Tian painting halberd standing on the side with one hand, turned around and looked, at this time, there was already a large pit nearly three meters deep behind him, and the holy light and thunder flashed inside.
It was Mandel and Airro who were still struggling to dig the huge pit, both of them were quite reliable, and when they heard Xu Yue's serious expression and tell them that the mecha was going to blow itself up, they quickly reacted, and did not waste time asking Xu Yue questions, but quickly started the great cause of digging the pit.
After all, even such a powerful chief was so eager, it was hard to imagine how powerful the self-explosion would be next, all in order to save their lives, they greeted with holy light and thunder, and almost used up their strength to eat, which dug a hole of nearly three meters in a few breaths.
Seeing that the pit had been dug, Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and after a loud shout and dodged away, he jumped down with the halberd held high, without knowing the power of the explosion, it was natural to make the pit as deep as possible, and the crushing ability attached to his Fang Tian Painting Halberd was undoubtedly a sharp weapon for digging pits, at least stronger than Mandel's spear and Airro's staff.
At the moment when Xu Yue jumped down, a gap suddenly burst open in the metal wall to the east of him, and a tall knight stood in front of the gap, shouting excitedly inside:
"Boss, I'm here to save you!"
Before he could finish speaking, a blinding white light exploded in front of his eyes, followed by a surging blast wave of explosions and raging flames.
"Boom !!"
The sound of the explosion resounded through the eardrums, and all the knights in the isolation shield lost their minds for a moment under this loud sound, and a huge fireball exploded in the courtyard, and the explosion of incomparable flames and waves of air made the four metal walls around the courtyard tremble violently, and the small gap in the eastern wall spewed out a large field of flames, and with it, the tall knight.
In the courtyard, because the impact of the explosion was blocked by the surrounding four walls, it was impossible to vent, so all the impact began to pour upwards, and the base of this mechanical mission seemed to be transformed into a large cannon at this moment, and the four walls were metal cannon barrels.
Raging flames and black smoke rose into the sky, striking the isolation shroud in mid-air, and after only a second of stalemate, the isolation shroud collapsed.
After losing the restraints, the sound wave of the explosion spread from the courtyard, and the entire outer city heard the sound of the explosion in the silent middle of the night, except for the ordinary people who were hypnotized by the bell, all the surviving contractors were awakened, and the outer city of the imperial capital began to boil in this explosion.
