Chapter 374: Hot Weapons Enter the Alien Battlefield for the First Time
Furthermore, they lacked experience in seabed prospecting, and the stuff collected by the Bobo tribe was too high-end, so it would cost a lot to mine ordinary veins.
Now that they had come to land, and their partner was the Steel Elephant tribe, who was extremely familiar with the veins, it was no wonder that Dean Wu was not excited.
His dream of strategic hot weapons was coming true!
Five days later.
The snow-white fluorescein flying elephant, carrying a group of young steel elephant beastmasters, flew over the gray stone tribe and landed among the stone houses.
Among a group of tall steel elephant beastmasters, a relatively short steel elephant girl with wheat-colored skin walked out.
As Gang Jue, who had just grown up to 11 years old and was promoted to a saint by the Burning Steel Temple, this was the first time she personally set foot on this tribe on the front line of the war.
She was full of curiosity about everything around her.
Just then.
A roar came from the distant north.
One by one, the beastmasters in linen clothes shuttled through the thick smoke and dust, their faces grim, and they ran to the wall of the garrison.
"What happened?" Gang Jue was stunned.
A low roar of an elephant came into her ears, and the loud voice echoed over the Gray Stone Tribe:
"Warning! Warning! There are signs of a large-scale gathering of soul beasts outside the tribe. All beastmasters are requested to go to the defense line to quell the beast tide!"
"Warning! Warning..."
The short and rapid voice kept stimulating Gang Jue's senses, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Gang Jue didn't care to think too much, and followed the crowd to the small square at the exit of the tribe.
"Why did the war break out just after I arrived in Gray Stone."
"Could there be a problem on the front line?"
While running, Gang Jue couldn't help but think wildly.
War, she usually hears this word, but for her who is far away in the Burning Steel Temple, it seems very far away.
But the urgent alarm coming from her ears, coupled with the serious expressions of the people around her, showed that the war was really happening in front of her.
At this time, many steel elephant beastmasters ran out of the houses in the garrison one after another. They all looked nervous, but lined up in an orderly manner.
Several beastmasters who looked like leaders stood in the square, commanding teams of beastmasters to go in all directions.
Not only that, Gang Jue also saw many unarmed civilians running out of the house and running to the underground caves dug in advance.
Gang Jue, who looked helpless, stood in the square and was particularly conspicuous.
Coincidentally, a middle-aged steel elephant who was commanding on the spot saw him and shouted, "Little girl, are you a steel elephant warrior? If you are a civilian, find a place to hide quickly!"
When the middle-aged beastmaster spoke, a deafening roar came from outside the northern wall.
The sound waves were visible to the naked eye and spread wantonly in the garrison. Many people were affected by the sound waves and directly held their heads with their hands and rolled on the ground.
Gang Jue's brain was dizzy. He saw the middle-aged beastmaster pulling his collar and yelling something, but there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
"Buzz~ Is this the beast tide..." Gang Jue wiped the blood from her nose. People carrying corpses and wounded people kept running in from the gate of the wall. On one side were the tribesmen who knew there was danger ahead but still insisted on going against the flow. On the other side were the civilians who were panicking and fleeing frantically. She stood between the two groups of people. Suddenly she thought about what the meaning of her existence as a saint was. Was it for the status of being respected and admired by hundreds of thousands of tribesmen? Or was it for the endless cultivation resources? Or was it for the ability to stand up in time and protect the tribesmen from the wind and rain when they were in danger? "I... Although I am the Burning Steel Saint, I am only a first-level beastmaster with weak strength. Otherwise, I should find a place to hide?" A cowardly thought came to Gang Jue's mind uncontrollably. "No!!" Gang Jue shook her head and immediately abandoned this terrible idea. Because at this moment, she saw those wounded people who were carried by others, with broken hands and feet and determined expressions. I also saw the deceased with distorted faces and no breath.
"I am not strong, but at least I can carry stretchers for them and deal with weak soul beasts. As long as I don't go to the front line, it will be fine!"
Within a few seconds, his thoughts turned rapidly, Gang Jue made up his mind, and loudly introduced himself to the middle-aged beastmaster:
"I am a newly promoted first-level beastmaster, the steel elephant warrior, and the contracted soul beast has extraordinary strength. May I ask how I can help you?"
"Warrior, very good! You go to the buffer zone in the north to protect the priests who transport the wounded and prevent sporadic soul beasts from hurting them! Gang Lei, take him!"
The middle-aged beastmaster nodded slightly and asked a young steel elephant beastmaster beside him to take Gang Jue with him.
"Yes!" The young man named Gang Lei nodded vigorously.
Gang Jue did not see the steel elephant priests, commanders, and those high-level beastmasters. He thought they should be at the front line to resist the most dangerous soul beasts.
"Little girl, follow me."
Gang Lei was a mature-looking steel elephant. He called Gang Jue and three other tribesmen, and ran towards the north gate without much nonsense.
While running, they summoned their contracted soul beasts.
There were only a hundred or so steel elephant beast masters stationed in the entire Gray Stone Tribe, and with the mobile beast masters, there were at most more than two hundred people. There were only a few dozen people in each direction to resist the beast tide.
The gate of the north gate was completely opened. Gang Jue and others rode the soul beasts and ran for more than ten kilometers, and then they heard the continuous roar of soul beasts.
The scene ahead made Gang Jue feel the horror and cruelty of war for the first time.
The densely packed soul beasts, which were almost several times more than them, rushed towards the tribe like crazy.
Spark wild boars, armored porcupines, dragon blood pig demons, red-winged flying dragons, etc.
Most of these soul beasts were not even extraordinary, some were extraordinary, and a few were at the level of generals.
But the number of soul beasts was almost endless.
On the side of the steel elephant, there were only less than a thousand soul beasts of various types from extraordinary to generals standing not far ahead. Some of them were fighting with wild soul beasts with their flesh, and some of them were emitting rays from their mouths to clean up the small fish.
Sixty or seventy steel elephant beastmasters stood outside the safety line dozens of meters away, relying on the fortifications they had built, holding a strange-looking weapon that was very different from the silver steel crossbow, and constantly shooting and killing the wild soul beasts that had escaped the net.
There were also dozens of general-level contracted beasts guarding them around them, so they were not defenseless.
"What is this?" Gang Jue had never seen such a strange weapon. Every time it fired a ray, it could penetrate at least one soul beast's body.
Even so, there were still many fish that slipped through the net and broke through the firepower net and hurt the beastmasters. They were simply fearless.
"Little girl, you hide behind them. If there are soul beasts below the level of generals rushing in, just help intercept them."
Gang Lei threw an automatic rifle to Gang Jue, and he and other beastmasters filled the gap in the defense line.
Gang Jue had never used hot weapons, but she didn't have time to ask now. She walked quickly to the stone fortification defense line, and her eyes nervously scanned the surroundings.
"Little girl, you are not a local of the Gray Stone Tribe, right? Is this the first time you encounter such a scene? Is this place different from what you imagined? Don't be scared to pee your pants when you see these crazy wild soul beasts."
Beside Gang Jue, the leader who was responsible for commanding more than 20 people nearby saw her nervous expression and joked in the interval between changing bullets.
"I am from another tribe, and this is my first time here." Gang Jue nodded.
"Do you want to smoke?" The leader took out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Gang Jue.
"What is this?" Gang Jue was puzzled.
"The special plants brought by the Xia people have the effect of refreshing the mind and stimulating the senses. You can try it."
"You young steel elephants are the hope of the tribe's future. Hide a little behind. Your life is the most important."
The leader pursed his lips and signaled Gang Jue to move back.
"Damn it! How come this beast tide is different from the past? There are too many soul beasts."
A steel elephant beastmaster who was holding a machine gun and firing wildly cursed.
"Shut up! Watch the front carefully and don't let these stinky pigs break through the defense line."
While cursing, an armored porcupine broke through the defense line laid by the contracted beasts in front with its sturdy body and resisted the crazy shooting of the beastmasters.
The bullets from the guns hit its body, slightly concave inward, revealing small gun holes. Instead of shooting the porcupine down, it angered its madness.
Aw~
The dazzling white light slowly condensed in the mouth of the armored porcupine.
"It's a metal storm, leader! Send the steel-armored elephant to the top."
Bang! !
The dense shuttle-shaped light spots containing the breath of destruction exploded from the armored porcupine and gushed out.
Damn!
Fortunately, among the contracted soul beasts guarding the beastmaster, a huge steel-armored elephant jumped out, blocking in front of everyone and absorbing the damage of the metal storm.
Da Da Da~ Da Da Da!
In an instant, the armored porcupine was shot into a sieve by several heavy machine guns. .
"The weapons of the Xia people are so damn easy to use. In the past, if you want to defend against this level of beast tide, you must have at least 5 times more people."
The commanding beastmaster had just finished speaking.
From the end of the deep wasteland in front, a large group of dark beasts vaguely emerged, and they were madly attacking this side.
More than a dozen huge dragons, with wings flashing with surging spiritual light, roared through the sky.
"Fire! Fire!"
Gang Jue had no experience in using firearms, so he learned how to operate from others and pulled the safety.
Da Da Da~
Gang Jue's shoulders hurt from the strong recoil. In order to prevent accidental injuries due to lack of experience, she specifically aimed at the largest wild soul beast and poured out firepower crazily.
"Damn, at least the upper-level general, rifles are useless, use rocket launchers!"
The leader standing next to Gang Jue cursed, threw away the rifle in his hand, took out a large rocket launcher from the box next to him, and carried it on his shoulder.
Whoosh~
The rocket launcher was aimed at an acid dragon that was moving relatively slowly in the airspace ahead, and the shells whooshed out of the tube.
Ten bullets dragged winding white smoke and rushed into the sky.
There were loud bangs.
The rockets hit the scales of the acid dragon, causing it to roll backwards, its scales to break and dent, and a pool of sticky liquid flowed out, and there was no sound for a while.
The leader narrowed his eyes and aimed at the other dragons.
10 rounds, 20 rounds, 30 rounds...
Boom boom boom!
From the left and right sides of the defense line, dense rockets flew out and hit the group of dragons that were about to attack.
There were seven or eight dragons with tenacious vitality, which turned into meat paste under the powerful explosive force of the rockets and fell on the road ahead.
"It's awesome, they are finally dead..." The leader breathed a sigh of relief, reloaded the bullets, and aimed at other soul beasts.
Just when everyone was slightly relieved, a fat and strange wild boar covered with black hair suddenly jumped from the front of the contracted soul beast defense line and growled at the beast masters.
The purple ripples in its eyes spread rapidly.
Including Gang Jue, the twenty or so people in their small group and all the soul beasts in the shooting area suddenly froze.
"It's the evil-eyed pig demon, it's bad..." Gang Jue had just thought of this when he saw the jumping evil-eyed pig demon being caught in mid-air by an iron-feathered flying dragon next to him.
A dragon and a pig simultaneously released breath and purple rays that were enough to paralyze the body, covering the area below.
Whoosh!
The breath flew at a speed comparable to a rocket and instantly arrived in front of them.
Gang Jue only heard a sound like a watermelon bursting.
He suddenly felt a pool of warm liquid on his face.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
He looked to the side in disbelief.
The leader who had been cursing the beast tide and ordering him to retreat had completely disappeared above the shoulders.
Plop.
The tribesman who was still alive a second ago now turned into a silent corpse.
"He just died like that..."
Gang Jue was stunned, and his breath continued to spread, spreading towards them.
The other Steel Elephant Tamers shouted frantically:
"Be careful! Hide under the fortifications!"
However, Gang Jue seemed to have no reaction to everything around her.
She still stared at the sky blankly.
The smoke was everywhere, and blood and flames filled the vision.
"Flame Pig!!"
Accompanied by a roar.
Gang Jue's confused eyes suddenly burned with golden red raging flames.
On her wheat-colored skin, fine blood-red lines appeared.
A terrifying phantom burning with raging golden red flames appeared between heaven and earth.
"Flame Steel! It's the Burning Steel Mammoth! There are priests from the Burning Steel Temple here, retreat quickly!!"
At this time, the Flame Pig Tamers behind the beast tide saw the huge mammoth standing tall, and their faces changed, trying to control the soul beasts to escape.
But the next moment.
The shadow of the Burning Steel Mammoth projected two beams of light like divine light. Directly locked their position.
Then, it raised its twisted forelimbs and stepped into the void.
Boom! !
In the blink of an eye, everything 500 kilometers in front of the Burning Steel Mammoth was turned into dust.
At the same time.
Hiding behind the Gray Stone Tribe, Han Ning and others who were quietly watching this battle looked at the phantom that encompassed the heaven and earth in surprise.
"Gangsas, this is you... the totem of your Steel Elephants, the god of all Steel Elephants, the Burning Steel Mammoth?"
"Yes... As you can see, all of this is under the control of His Holiness the Pope."
Gangsas looked at the petite figure below the phantom of the Burning Steel Mammoth from a distance and sighed.
Han Ning was silent. He thought that this battle was a battle to prove the power of the thermal weapons of their three-tribe alliance.
Unexpectedly, the top leaders of the Steel Elephants had other plans.
