Hiss, hiss, hiss —
The Ghanaians made strange sounds, and under the night sky, they swam over in groups. Rocks, bushes, and mountains could not stop their footsteps. They were like a black torrent, drowning the mountain path inch by inch as they charged towards Hubble and the others.
In front of Hubble, there was a predator, Anfliken, blocking the path.
The situation could not be worse.
At this time, the Catus could still laugh. He said to Anfliken, "Hey, bug, have you seen fireworks?"
Anfliken opened his mouth and pounced on the two people on the ground. He used his actions instead of answering.
Hubble raised his hands and said, "Let's have a fireworks feast." Behind the Catus, patches of pale red mist were spinning, and from the center of the mist of blood, spear tips stretched out. Those were long spears that were completely red. Just by breaking through the fog, they had already stirred up a boundless killing intent. A spear finally completely separated from the blood mist, and the Dark Blade Warrior beside him could clearly see the shape of the spear.
It was somewhat like the spear the Knight used to charge. It was pointed at the front and wide at the back, and it was conical in shape. The spear was made purely of Origin Energy. Its entire body was blood-red, but the middle was pitch black like an abyss. Hubble held the spear in one hand and pointed it at Anfliken's head. A small black dot immediately appeared between the two. The surrounding rubble floated up, and the entire ground began to tremble.
Then, the black dot continued to expand, as if a black sun had risen on the mountain path.
Next was an earth-shattering explosion.
The flames of the explosion radiated the space within a hundred meters, and the energy filled every corner of the space in the most violent way. After most of the heat had evaporated, it formed flames. Black-red flames surged up, and the pillar of fire shot straight into the air, exploding into countless sparks. It was indeed like fireworks.
The Dark Blade Warrior was lifted up at the time of the explosion. Then, the scenery quickly retreated, and in his eyes, the explosive flames chased after him. At the moment he chased after him, the flames almost licked his eyes.
When the scenery stopped retreating, he found himself on a low slope, and then he was put on the ground. It turned out to be Hubble. With a wave of his hand, the energy spears that surged out from behind him were thrown towards the Jana troops one after another. Every spear would bring about a fireball, and the fireballs would bloom in the flood of the Ghanaians. Countless lives were instantly erased. Under the fireworks of the explosion, a few charred areas were blasted out of the Jana army.
After throwing out a series of Berserk Spears, Hubble's aura clearly dropped a lot. Anfrison's roar came from the mountain path. He burst out of the flames and, ignoring the embers that were still burning on his body, roared angrily and rushed toward Hubble like a speeding train. Anfliken sprinted forward in a straight line, smashing everything in his path into smithereens.
The Dark Blade Warrior could see that there was an eyeball on his head that was tightly shut, and blood was dripping from the gap of the eyeball. It seemed that he would not be able to keep that eyeball. One of Hubble's eyes was blown off in a single exchange. No wonder the Predator was furious.
"Time to go." Hubble threw out the last Berserk Spear. The entire mountain path trembled, and the flames of the explosion dyed the surroundings orange red. Anfliken's charge stopped. When he rushed through the flames, there were no longer any figures of Hubble or humans on the low slope. The Predator roared, issuing a series of orders in the Jana language. The troops behind him immediately split into several vanguards, and like an undercurrent, they spread across the mountainous area and chased closely behind Hubble and his companion.
The supply point where Hubble and the others were staying was already very close to the edge of the mountain. With this full speed, it didn't take long for them to leave the mountain area. After passing through a low hill, they officially entered the territory of the Absolute Shadow Highlands.
The terrain of the Absolute Shadow Highlands was flat, and there were few obstacles on this land. On the other side of the highlands was Mountain City. Once they escaped there, Hubble and the others would be safe. However, not long after they left the Lagma Mountain Range, the Jana soldiers followed them out of the mountain range. They gathered together again, forming a surging tide of soldiers. At this time, Hubble and the others had no other choice but to compete for speed and endurance.
A low hill at the edge of the mountain suddenly shattered and exploded. Anfliken brutally smashed the hill, paddling his feet and following closely behind the main army. Strictly speaking, this was already the territory of the Human Empire. Originally, Anfliken was not allowed to approach this highland before the army launched an official attack. However, Hubble was not far away. It seemed that as long as he persisted for a little longer, he would be able to catch the remaining two insects.
The Catus were definitely fat bugs, and Anfliken had already figured out how to get rid of this fellow who dared to blow up one of his eyes. At this moment, apart from the sounds made by the Jana, there were some strange sounds on the highlands. Anfliken's keen hearing caught these different sounds. These sounds sounded like the muffled sound of a large amount of gas passing through a pipe. Apart from that, there was also the heavy echo of a heavy object rolling over the ground.
Not long after, Anfliken noticed something strange in the night ahead. Two dots of light appeared from the faint fog on the other side of the highlands. Then, a head emerged from the fog. It looked like a lion, but this fellow was made of steel. An iron pipe stretched out from the mouth of the steel lion. Anfliken didn't know what it was for. Then he saw the steel lion's body. It had no limbs, and its body was clumsy and square. There was a row of metal pipes on both sides, from which white hot smoke was continuously spewing out.
The sound of air spurting came from the metal pipe. Anfliken's intuition told him that these things were definitely built by humans. Those fragile creatures loved fire and steel and would build strange things. However, Anfliken had never seen these strange fellows before. He couldn't understand what was the use of making such a ferocious beast out of steel.
More steel beasts emerged from the mist. There were about ten of them, not many of them, and their formation was scattered. Anfliken was confident that he could devour these steel monsters with a single charge. Hubble also saw these strange things, and the Catus said in surprise, "What is this?"
The Dark Blade Warrior beside him said happily, "It's one of us. That's our secret weapon!"
"Are these heavy things secret weapons?" Hubble's tone was filled with suspicion, but it did not stop him from continuing on his way.
At this moment, someone stretched out half of his body on a bronze lion. Through the lion's two shining eyes, Hubble saw the person clearly. Belmord smiled and said, "Long time no see, big guy. How are you?"
Hubble said unhappily, "There's a bunch of bugs chasing after me. How do you think I'll be?"
Belmord laughed and nodded, "Don't worry, leave those bugs to us."
"Just these few monsters? Are you going to crush the bugs to death or smash them? Oh, I think you'll be knocked down. Don't blame me for not reminding you that there's still an Anfliken chasing after you. "Hubble shouted.
"Just watch and see how we blast these bugs back." After saying that, Belmord went back in.
A moment later, all the steel beasts stopped. They were still a few hundred meters away from the Ghanaian tide. Then, in the mouth of a ferocious beast, the iron pipe suddenly exploded with dazzling flames. Then, a sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded from the highlands. Hubble shivered and subconsciously grabbed the Dark Blade Warrior and pounced on the ground. A strong stream of air flew past them. Hubble looked back. It was a cannonball. He only had time to see that the cannonball was painted orange. Then, the cannonball shot straight into the Ghanaian troops.
The first dozen or so Ghanaians were directly shattered by the cannonball, followed by a muffled explosion. A fireball rose from the tide of Ghanaians. At the center of the fireball, there were charred corpses. The flames spread out, burning the nearby Ghanaians to the point of hissing. But Belmord didn't give them time to react. The bronze and iron beasts fired their cannons repeatedly. Only then did Hubble realize that the strange-looking iron pipe was a cannon.
Anfliken was no stranger to the cannons invented by humans, but this was the first time he had seen a cannon mounted on that strange piece of iron. Moreover, the sounds of these cannons seemed to be a little too frequent, and the cannons were continuous, completely overturning the precedent of human cannons having to reload after firing. Heat and flames were definitely the things the Ghanaians hated the most. These beings who had lived in underground caves for many years loved humidity and darkness, but now they were in a blazing hell.
The artillery system on the steel beasts was improved by Lin Si on the basis of the Fire God Cannon. He once again increased the propulsion of the artillery system, allowing the cannonball to shoot faster and farther. In addition, the cannonball used for firing followed a design similar to the Nitre Fire Lightning, with nitre oil filled between the outer wall and the inner tank of the cannonball. When the outer wall of the cannonball was squeezed by the air inside and exploded, the nitre oil would spray around the battlefield. After the cannonball exploded, the flames would lick the nitre oil and continue to cause 20% damage to the enemy. The Ghanaians' armor could block swords, but it couldn't stop the nitre oil from contaminating and penetrating it, but it couldn't avoid the consequences of being stained by flames.
Moreover, just the impact kinetic energy of the cannonball was equivalent to the attack of a Level 20 expert. When ordinary Ghanaians were directly hit by the cannonball, the physical impact was enough to tear their bodies apart!
That night, mechanical kinetic energy showed its great potential to the life on this planet for the first time, and it indicated that apart from experts, another thing that could influence the pattern of war had finally arrived.
