Chapter 603 The Queen’s Market City

Gordon didn't even think about it and immediately moved around behind the mysterious monster.

Running far away was an act of seeking death. The steel beam, which was not 40 but 20 meters long, fell straight down. It was impossible to escape the attack range in just a few seconds.

"Boom!"

The steel beam struck the ground like a giant sword. The ground shook, gravel flew, and even a piece of ruins of the city wall scattered on the ground was smashed into pieces.

Anhil, who was sniping from a distance, was also shocked by this move.

Not to mention if this "sword" were to strike a hunter, even if it was to strike a large flying dragon such as a fire dragon, it would definitely result in serious injury or even direct death.

"Joint! Attack the joint!"

Gordon, who did not dare to stay in front of the monster, took a circuitous route and reminded Ancil loudly.

The terrifying strength of insect-like creatures that is inconsistent with their size comes from not only efficient muscle tissue, but also joints with special hydraulic structures.

Being able to lift such a steel beam and wield it as a weapon, the strength of the mysterious monster is naturally undeniable, but if the structure of its joints can be destroyed, its performance may be effectively limited.

Anhill understood what Gordon was thinking, and quickly removed the magazine of the electric shock bullet and replaced it with a lv3 penetrating bullet.

This type of crossbow projectile has extremely fast trajectory, smooth flight curve, and amazing penetrating power. It is very suitable for sniping and can be said to be his favorite type of projectile.

He unfolded the scope, took aim for a moment, and then pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

The crossbow bullets flashed like lightning and accurately hit the joint of one of the mysterious monster's legs.

"Qiang!"

The penetrating bullet actually ricocheted away!

Anhil narrowed his eyes slightly. The carapace at the joints of this guy is indeed thicker than other parts. Think about it, the fragile and slender joints cannot provide it with such amazing strength.

Fortunately, his shots were not completely ineffective. He locked a joint and after two or three shots, the mysterious monster's leg paused for a moment.

It felt pain.

While Ancier was changing the magazine, Gordon immediately rushed forward and struck again with an enhanced version of the sword's high-speed charged slash, slashing at the same joint.

The power of this sword is much stronger than Ancier's penetrating bullet.

The sheath-like carapace protecting the joints cracked, and its body swayed visibly.

If Ancil's previous shot made it feel pain, then this sword really made it feel afraid.

It waved its insect limbs and pulled the steel beam back by pulling the silk thread, preparing to kill Gordon next to it first.

"Meow!"

Pork Chop rode the strong wind and flew past the monster, throwing a flash bomb experimentally.

It wasn't sure if this would work, but at least it saw that the other person had eyes.

Strong light burst out in front of the monster's compound eyes, and for a moment, the monster's carapace reflected the light, turning the entire cave into gold.

"Chi-ya-!"

The flash bomb actually worked, and the mysterious monster let out a sharp and ear-piercing roar. Its body froze for a moment and fell into dizziness.

Gordon threw a ghost pill into his mouth without hesitation, and while his blood was surging, he directly activated the beast soul possession.

It was impossible to determine how long the monster's stun would last, so Gordon did not use the true charged slash, which was the most powerful, but also the most time-consuming and the most demanding attack condition.

Instead, he chose a charge-charged slash that was less powerful but much more flexible.

Scarlet fighting spirit boiled in his eyes.

"Drink!"

He roared, and the epitaph sword whizzed down, shining on the crack on the monster's joint.

"Click."

Under the heavy blow, the cracks obviously widened a lot. Gordon followed up with another powerful blow and continued the pursuit.

One after another powerful slashes hit the same spot, and thick green body fluid seeped out from the gaps in the joints.

The leg also spasmed for a moment, and the monster's body staggered two steps, obviously in severe pain.

"Great job!" Anxier shouted and praised.

In order to prevent the monster from waking up from the stun effect of the flash bomb and launching a counterattack, Gordon did not hesitate to retreat in advance after completing a wave of attacks.

Ancier also completed the preparations for squatting and firing at this time, replaced the magazine with a larger-capacity ammunition belt, and launched continuous rapid fire.

The mysterious monster shook its head, and a pair of bright purple organs in front of the crown that could easily be mistaken for eyes shone like a flame of red light.

It straightened its body and stretched its sickle limbs high.

"Chi-ya-ya-!"

The sharp sound waves, which were almost the same as sonic boom bombs, echoed repeatedly in the underground caves. Gordon and the others had to cover their ears tightly to prevent their hearing from being irreversibly damaged.

It became furious.

Large strands of golden silk threads spurted out from the glands in its tail segment, and then fell down like a torrential rain.

Gordon retreated at full speed. Even Ancil, who was sniping from a distance, paused his offensive, put away his heavy crossbow and continued to extend the distance.

They have seen the strength of this golden thread before, and if they get entangled, the outcome will probably not be too good.

Countless threads are scattered everywhere.

Gordon initially thought this was some kind of large-scale attack, but he soon discovered to his shock that the matter was far from as simple as he initially thought.

There are fragments of the city wall, irregular stones, heavy steel beams, decayed dragon guns, huge steel wheels, and countless giant metal parts that have no idea where they came from.

All these "waste products" are slowly gathering towards the mysterious monster, pulled by those golden four threads.

"Boom——"

"Zizzi."

"Kick-kick-kick"

Amidst the noisy and chaotic noise, objects that have nothing in common from material to shape are put together bit by bit using golden threads as connectors.

The hunters widened their eyes and kept raising their heads until the mechanical beast, which was more than sixty meters long, stood in front of them.

"**!"

Gordon couldn't help but curse.

He felt that every surprise he had ever experienced since he was a child was more than what he had experienced in the previous half minute.

This is the mechanical behemoth?!

"Roar--!"

The sharp neighing sound of the mysterious monster became dull and full of mechanical feeling due to the repeated resonance of those metal and rock components.

The sense of oppression increased countless times compared to before, like a landslide and a tsunami, rushing towards my face.

If the previous mysterious monster gave him a sense of threat similar to that of a unicorn, then the current one was no less than the Lanlong at the top of the Spiritual Peak.

"what is this"

Anhil muttered to himself slightly absentmindedly.

He had never fought against the Laoshan Dragon before, and this was the first time he had seen such a giant "creature".

Gordon, whose palms were also trembling slightly, tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, suppressing the fear and tension in his heart.

He turned around and yelled: "This is not something we can deal with. Ancier, immediately retreat on the gale and notify them to let the airship take off!

Pork Chop, the two of us will wrap it up first!"

"Good meow!"

Looking at Gordon and Pork Chop rushing towards the mechanical beast, Ancier was stunned for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses.

Now, not a single second can be wasted.

He gritted his teeth and blew a sharp whistle, which woke up his frightened toothhound companions.

Gale galloped towards him reflexively. Anhir jumped onto the saddle and shouted: "Gale wind, retreat at full speed!"
