#84 - Rock-armored beast, choice and escape

Seeing the giant beast charging towards him, Lin Feng was stunned, somewhat at a loss, frozen in place. The immense pressure caused his legs to stiffen uncontrollably.

At this moment, the giant beast, three stories high and over ten meters long, had already rushed out of the bay's rift valley, stepping onto the wide riverbed and charging forward.

With a weight of dozens of tons, each step of its four hoofs, half a meter thick, on the riverbed caused a slight tremor in the earth.

And the sprinting speed of this giant Rockhorn Horse was as high as seventy to eighty kilometers per hour. Although advancing twenty meters per second wasn't much for a fifteen-meter-long body, the terrifying impact brought by its massive size could easily crush everything.

The pair of eight-meter-long horns on its head directly shattered the rocks on the riverbed, charging irresistibly towards the riverbank where Lin Feng was.

Suppressing the stiffness in his body caused by fear, Lin Feng took a deep breath, raised the machine cannon in his hand, fired six shells at the giant beast in one go, and then prepared to escape.

Besides attracting its attention, he also wanted to test the weapon's damage against the giant beast.

Unfortunately, when he looked back, the six shells, each dealing over a hundred points of damage, only stirred up a patch of sparks on the surface of the giant beast, which was covered in rock armor.

After the warheads exploded, they only left some black gunpowder marks on the solid rock armor, without even a trace of a crack appearing.

The machine cannon couldn't penetrate its defense, the damage was zero.

A word flashed through Lin Feng's mind: hardened ceramic.

This was one of the main materials used for modern bulletproof vest inserts, capable of withstanding rifle bullets. The silicon carbide ceramic with added rare metals was even close to diamond in hardness, enough to withstand small-caliber cannon fire.

Many tank external armors also used high-hardness carbonized ceramic steel, which had extremely strong defensive effects, but was very expensive.

And the giant beast's outer rock armor was a hardened ceramic structure, capable of ignoring level fourteen machine cannons.

Confirming the situation, Lin Feng gave up struggling and fighting back, and directly fled towards the city ruins behind him.

He ran for his life without looking back.

Whether it was its size or defensive power, this giant beast far exceeded the Rockhorn Horses at the leader level, and Lin Feng had a rough judgment of its strength.

The opponent was very likely a Rockhorn Horse of the Chieftain level, which had broken through the late stage of stage one, with a level nineteen limit!

A powerful being capable of ruling a clan!

Also one of the rulers of this wasteland!

Having provoked such an existence, there was only one word in Lin Feng's mind at this moment: escape!

At the same time, he also knew that since he had angered the opponent, the help that the rest of the team could provide was extremely limited. Instead of dragging them down together, it was better to lure the giant beast away alone.

So that Chen Shanshan and the others could successfully harvest the seriously injured prey that had fallen to the ground in the riverbed, and get the gains in hand first.

So that they wouldn't end up losing both people and wealth.

And Lin Feng himself was also somewhat confident that, relying on the flexible advantage of the human body's small size, he could engage in a tug-of-war with this Chieftain-level giant beast in the city ruins.

Its top speed was only eighty kilometers per hour.

Lin Feng's burst speed could easily break through to over one hundred and forty kilometers.

As long as he quickly created distance in a short period of time, there would be no great risk.

On the other hand, Chen Shanshan and his party, except for A Ming, whether it was the team members or the Rockhorse chariot, could not escape the pursuit of this rock-armored giant beast.

Now, as long as the Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse was lured away and then shaken off, the final hunting operation could be successfully completed.

Lin Feng's figure shuttled through the city ruins, jumping to the top of the broken walls, looking back to check the location of the rock-armored giant beast.

The latter effortlessly crossed the hundred-meter-long riverbank slope and jumped directly to the riverbank, now less than a kilometer behind Lin Feng.

The latter raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the target again.

Another series of shells accurately locked onto the giant beast's head. Although they hit the huge horse head directly, the damage was minimal.

The face of the Chieftain-level Rockhorn giant beast was already covered with a thick layer of hardened rock ceramic, and the shells, lacking armor-piercing effect, could only leave patches of black marks.

At most, they shattered a layer of hardened eyelid skin that had grown above the bowl-sized eyes.

But there were as many as a dozen layers of this thin layer of hardened ceramic skin.

However, the shock wave generated by the explosion made this invulnerable rock-armored giant beast feel a sting in its eyeballs.

But it immediately locked onto Lin Feng's figure not far away.

In fact, when it heard the sound of the explosion and the screams of its clan members and rushed to the riverbank, it had lost track of the target.

Rockhorn Horses themselves had very poor eyesight, and coupled with the fact that Lin Feng's team was wearing desert camouflage combat uniforms, they directly blended into the wasteland a few hundred meters away.

And when this rock-armored giant beast lost its target and looked around, it actually locked onto the Rockhorse chariot parked on the riverbank.

Fortunately, Lin Feng noticed this in time.

Using the machine cannon in his hand, he re-attracted the giant beast's attention and led it towards himself.

Not far away, the other six members of the team, who had left the chariot and hid in the ruins, were nervously holding their breath.

They peeked out half their heads, observing the location of the rock-armored giant beast.

It wasn't until they saw it being re-attracted by Lin Feng that Chen Shanshan and the others gathered together again and began to discuss.

"We have to go save Lin Feng now! That giant beast is too strong, Lin Feng alone can't handle it!"

Ding Yi took the lead and spoke, staring intently into the distance, the reflection in her glasses showing the afterimage of the giant beast chasing.

The crowd, having recovered, looked at each other.

A Ming slowly opened his mouth, reminding them:

"It's no use even if we go, that giant beast, whether in size or the strong pressure it emits, far exceeds the leader-level male Rockhorn Horse..."

"It must be the ruler of these thousands of Rockhorn Horses, the legendary Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse."

Beside her, Liu Qian, who had been carried away by Liu Mingfei, gradually regained consciousness and weakly added, "A Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse is a second-stage evolved being. Even a late-stage Tier 1 evolver would avoid it."

"They not only command all Rockhorn Horses but are also the rulers of this wasteland."

"It is said that the patriarch of the Li family in Farming Village once stole the evolutionary path of the Rockhorn Horse clan by killing a Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse, thus establishing Farming Village, which relies on raising Rockhorn Horses for a living."

"If even Lin Feng can't handle it, how can we escape its pursuit with just the few of us?"

The remaining A'Lian and Liu Mingfei didn't speak. Although they knew that what Liu Qian and A'Ming said was true, they were actually willing to go and share the pressure with Lin Feng.

After all, even a Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse is just a bit larger, and not particularly fast, especially in the urban ruins, where humans have more advantages.

At this moment, the team's opinions were divided, and everyone looked at Chen Shanshan, who was standing in the very center.

She was the team's vice-captain and also the commander of this operation appointed by Lin Feng.

Now, her decision was the key to determining the team's direction.

Chen Shanshan tightly gripped the titanium gun in her hand, with the screaming prey in front of her and Captain Lin Feng being relentlessly pursued by the armored behemoth behind her.

Her face contorted in struggle for several seconds.

Chen Shanshan was thinking about what Lin Feng would choose if he were here now.

Finally, her eyes hardened, and she glanced at Ding Yi, who was full of anxiety beside her, and made up her mind to say:

"First, go to the river to kill the injured Rockhorn Horses, secure the prey, and then arrange for people to assist Lin Feng in getting rid of the behemoth's pursuit."

As she spoke, Chen Shanshan looked at Ding Yi and analyzed urgently and calmly:

"This is the action plan arranged by Lin Feng, and we must complete this first."

"The Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse had previously lost track of Lin Feng, but he then fired a shot to attract its pursuit, indicating that Lin Feng is confident in not being caught by the behemoth."

"So we should follow his orders and continue to execute the original plan!"

"We can't let Lin Feng's sacrifice and efforts be wasted at the last moment!"

"Now, except for Ding Yi and Liu Qian, who will stay here to observe whether there are any more behemoths coming, everyone else will follow me to kill and bring back the Tier 1 Rockhorn Horses in the river as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Chen Shanshan took the lead, returned to the combat vehicle to find a lasso, slung it diagonally across her waist, tightly gripped the titanium gun in her hand, and headed straight for the target at the bottom of the river along the small path created by the behemoth.

There were more than five Tier 1 Rockhorn Horses.

Behind her, Liu Mingfei got out of the vehicle and had Liu Qian, who had not fully recovered, sit in the driver's seat.

"Wait, if the situation changes, start the car first, and then pick us up, that will be the fastest!"

After giving the instructions, he followed A'Lian and A'Ming's pace and quickly ran towards the river down the slope.

At this moment, dozens of Rockhorn Horses, some with broken legs, some with ruptured abdomens, were all seriously injured, lying on the ground, unable to get up and escape.

Several with minor injuries were struggling to escape, including two male Tier 1 Early-stage Rockhorn Horses.

However, Chen Shanshan quickly locked onto the two dying Tier 1 Mid-stage male leaders.

They were the largest in this group of Rockhorn Horses.

They were also Lin Feng's key targets, and he fired shells in succession, hitting them directly and tearing them open.

Chen Shanshan ran straight up, and with a gun in her hand, she pierced their eyeballs and brains, ending their pain.

Then, she dug out all the internal organs except the heart to reduce the weight of the horse corpses, and used ropes to tie the horse horns, making it easier to transport two males at the same time.

Chen Shanshan, who had evolved to level 13, could unleash more than three tons of power, barely able to move two mid-stage male horses that had been drained of water-storing organs and blood.

On the other side, A'Lian and A'Ming began to deal with the remaining female horses.

Liu Mingfei, who arrived later, wanted to come forward to help, but A'Ming called him to capture the Tier 1 Early-stage male Rockhorn Horses that were about to escape.

A live Tier 1 Early-stage male horse was much more valuable than a female horse, even if it died, it would have more muscle in its corpse.

Liu Mingfei nodded and went forward with the rope.

Here, they were busy with the finishing touches and recovery, while on the other side, Liu Qian paid attention to the situation before and after the river, and found that since the Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse had come in pursuit, no more Rockhorn Horse groups continued to enter this river from the rift valley.

This could be considered the silver lining in the current misfortune.

However, behind the combat vehicle, Ding Yi's eyes were always observing the direction of the dust raised in the urban ruins.

At this moment, the armored behemoth had penetrated deep into the urban ruins, the former city center area.

It was more than ten kilometers away from the Rockhorn Horse combat vehicle by the bay, so Ding Yi could only judge the behemoth's approximate location by the dust plumes.

As long as its pace never stopped.

It meant that the pursuit of Lin Feng was still continuing.
