Start a Core Pod

 Chapter 862 A fatal blow

The most fortunate thing about Duanmuhuai is that they are still deep underground.

If the opponent does this on the ground... then they can only use light spears to directly destroy the entire country.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai brought a battleship over. Even if he did not issue an extermination order, he still had to consider the possibility of washing and disinfecting the ground to be on the safe side...

But the situation is not much better now.

"drink---!"

Duanmuhuai had already retracted his war hammer and took out the chain sword from his back. The black flames swelled around him, exploded, kept burning, and swallowed up all the objects it came into contact with. The spores ejected from the Son of the Black Goat were quickly wrapped in flames and destroyed. But the Sons of the Black Goat obviously do not intend to give up. Survival and reproduction are the greatest desires of all living things, and conversely, resisting death and destruction of nature is also their first job.

Hence, when Duanmuhuai expanded the territory of the God of Destruction, the Son of the Black Goat immediately regarded it as the top priority target to be eliminated. At this moment, dozens of tentacles flew out from the body of the Son of the Black Goat, swooping towards Duanmuhuai like snakes.

Naturally, Duanmu Huai would not sit still and wait for death. Faced with the tentacles coming towards him, he clenched his chain sword and swung it down with all his strength, burning with black fire. The rotating and roaring chain saw easily tore apart the tentacles that were coming towards Duan Mu Huai. Tentacles, burning them to ashes.

The tentacles that were cut off by Duanmuhuai would quickly retract, but they would regenerate again soon and continue to pounce forward.

 “Mary, have you found it?”

 “Not yet, Mr. Duanmu, not in this area!”

 “That’s really troublesome, keep going!”

Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai frowned and rushed forward again. Even if those tentacles hit Duanmu Huai's power armor hard, they could not stop him. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai swung the chain saw again. With the sword, in just a moment, he once again cut off the tentacles that hindered his movement.

Mary’s golden eyes are really powerful, but they are not completely without shortcomings.

 That’s it—as a human being, Mary’s vision is limited.

Just like human vision can only see things within 180 degrees, the same is true for Mary. Her golden pupils can see through all things, but other than that, Mary's eyes have no ability like perspective or farsightedness, and her field of vision is no different from ordinary people.

Just like if a person stands in front of a skyscraper, her field of vision can only see the skyscraper in front of her, but she cannot completely capture the entire skyscraper.

For Mary, this is the case with the Son of the Black Goat in front of her. Even if she can look directly at the Son of the Black Goat, she can only see the body of the Son of the Black Goat in front of her, but cannot see its entirety.

If it were on the ground, Mary could distance herself and stand farther away to see, but there was no such space underground. So they could only continue to move forward. Only by getting closer to the huge body in front of them could Mary capture and determine the core of this huge son of the black goat through the "up and down" vision.

 Luckily, she could still see the flow of power in this disgusting and filthy body.

 “Where exactly?”

"above!"

"above?"

I have to say that Duanmuhuai was also surprised when he heard Mary's answer.

 “Are you sure you’re up there?”

“Yes, the flow of power is up, not down, so I believe the core should be up!”

 “This is really strange...”

Generally speaking, most huge BOSSs will place their cores deep underground. I have never seen one with their cores placed on their head - what does this mean?

 “Boom, boom…!”

At the same time, the ground began to tremble, and a large amount of dust and gravel fell down. Duanmuhuai's face darkened when he felt the vibration.

 “No! This guy is going to go out to bask in the sun!”

If possible, Duanmuhuai still hopes to solve it underground as much as possible. After all, once this guy goes to the surface and releases the spore cloud, the scope of damage will expand to the entire city and even the entire country. At that time, things will not be easy to deal with. .

 There is no other way, the only option is to do this!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made up his mind.

 At the same time, in other places, the teams of the Countermeasures Bureau also began to retreat rapidly.

“What the **** is going on? Is that some new trick of the ghouls?”

 Leading the remaining troops out of the underground, Inspector Yamen couldn't help but curse in a low voice. At the beginning, the operation went very smoothly. Although they lost a lot of manpower, they successfully advanced into the depths of Area 24.

 At that time, however, things changed.

The ground began to tremble. At first, I thought it was just an earthquake, but soon, the ground cracked, and strange tentacles like tree roots emerged from it, spraying strange spores into the air. This scene naturally aroused the vigilance of the investigators, but before they could come up with a countermeasure, something even more unimaginable happened - the ghouls shrouded in the spore cloud suddenly began to scream, and then they Their flesh and blood began to twist and deform, and bud-like tumors appeared on their bodies. In a matter of moments, the ghouls turned into disgusting and terrifying monsters. The ghouls that have turned into monsters are more difficult to deal with than before. Not only that, their bodies are also covered with those weird spores. Once they get close, even investigators and ordinary soldiers will be infected and turn into that kind of monster. Monsters that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

In this case, continuing to move forward was just a fantasy, so the Yamen Investigator had to lead his remaining men to evacuate quickly. At the same time, in order to prevent this poisonous gas-like thing from leaking out, he also blew up the passage to seal it. , Of course, it’s unknown how useful it will be, but at least... it should be able to hinder it for a while.

"How is it going?"

After exiting the tunnel, Investigator Yamen looked around and saw similar situations everywhere. Many soldiers were seriously injured, and some investigators were in the same miserable state as him.

  However, there was no very eye-catching figure among them.

“Where is Mr. Duanmu? How is the situation at the Tribunal?”

Thinking of this, the Yamen Investigator hurriedly grabbed a Countermeasures Bureau employee who was walking next to him and asked, and the other person also hurriedly answered loudly.

“We have lost contact with Mr. Duanmu! Currently, two-thirds of the members of the Countermeasures Bureau are still in District 24 and cannot be contacted!”

 “Damn it...!”

Hearing the report, Investigator Yamen gritted his teeth. He remembered that Duanmuhuai had been drinking today. Generally speaking, he should not participate in the operation in this case. But he didn't stop him at that time, and Miss Mary was by his side at that time. In Yamen's opinion, although Miss Mary was not old, she was a very calm and smart girl. If anything happened, she should be able to ……Um?

Completely out of instinct, Yamen suddenly felt a little flustered, and then he subconsciously raised his head and glanced upward.

It was this glance that saved his life.

The ceiling collapsed in an instant. At this moment, the Amen investigator almost instinctively ducked backwards in embarrassment. The next moment, a torrent of light fell from the sky, broke through the thick crust, and penetrated directly into the depths of the ground.

 The bombardment of the light spears launched outside the atmosphere turned into a waterfall of light falling from the sky, flying down, and completely swallowing up all the land within the entire 24th area. The abandoned building above exploded instantly under the bombardment of high-temperature energy beams, and then the solid ground collapsed completely before it could hold on for long.

The same goes for everyone in the countermeasures bureau below. Except for Yamen and a few other people who were further away, the others didn't even have time to scream before their figures were swallowed up by the dazzling torrent of energy.

 With one exception.

 “Mary, look carefully!”

Duanmuhuai hugged Mary tightly, and the black steel power armor was like a shield at the moment, blocking the surging light spear bombardment. This was the only way Duanmu Huai could think of - entangled with the opponent here was not his style at all, so Duanmu Huai made a prompt decision and ordered the battleship to launch a light spear attack on Area 24.

 From Duanmu Huai's point of view, this is the only way to limit the scope of harm to the minimum extent. The light spear will destroy the entire area 24, and in the process, the body of the Son of the Black Goat will also be destroyed by the bombardment of the light spear. As long as Mary locks the core with the golden pupil during this period, he can Take action immediately after the light spear bombardment is over to eliminate it.

Of course, for an ordinary person, even if they are not directly hit, there is only one way to die in such a high-intensity energy beam. However, Duanmu Huai is the God of Destruction after all, and it is not a big problem for him that his body can only resist naval guns. And Mary was also given a protective spell by Duanmu Huai in advance - after all, she didn't have Duanmu Huai's ability.

 Just like taking a hot bath.

The surrounding ground collapsed, and the shining light enveloped the entire field of vision. Even Duanmuhuai, who was wearing a helmet, could not completely see what was hidden in the dazzling beam of light.

However, a golden pupil is a golden pupil.

 “Found it, Mr. Duanmu! It’s the one!”

The torrent of light spears disappeared, and Mary, ignoring the hot gas that was almost enough to burn everything, stretched out her hand and pointed forward. Duanmu Huai looked up and saw that not far in front of him, in the steamy and hot cavity, a thing that was completely black and looked like a huge burnt vine was falling downwards. On the top of the vine, there was what looked like a huge bud. It was the bud that Mary was pointing at.

 “Hold on to me!”

Duanmu Huai jumped up, raised the chain sword in his hand high, and the jetpack behind him sprayed out fierce airflow, even the surrounding flames and stones melted into magma were blown away. Then he took Mary and fell from the sky like a meteorite, rushing towards the Son of the Black Goat in front of him.

　　　　————!!”

The Son of the Black Goat, who was falling downwards, seemed to be aware of the danger coming. Soon its burnt skin cracked again, and several tentacles stretched out from it, hitting Duanmuhuai.

But this time, before Duanmu Huai could take action, Mary raised the staff in her hand, and shining meteor magic burst out from it, directly hitting the tentacles rushing towards them, accompanied by continuous explosions. , the tentacles that emerged from the son of the Black Goat were blown away, and even the bud was exploded. Soon, the two of them saw that deep in the "bud", almost half of the body had dissolved, and it was the same as the Black Goat. A man's figure fused with his son appeared from it. He was wearing a mask, and his body was full of tentacles that couldn't help but wriggling.

At this moment, the masked man raised his head. He stared at Duanmuhuai and opened his mouth to say something.

But at this moment, the chain sword in Duanmu Huai's hand had penetrated the masked man's head and cut deeply into the body of the son of the Black Goat.

 “Buzz————!!”

The chain saw began to spin wildly, and surging black flames roared out from it, directly penetrating into the body of the Son of the Black Goat. Soon, the body of the Son of the Black Goat began to expand - raging flames that could destroy everything came out of the gaps, greedily devouring everything they came into contact with.

 “Boom————!!”

 There was an explosion, and dark flames surged out at this moment, covering the entire cavity.
