Meng Chao scratched his head. "Oh well, as long as we've saved them, you can say whatever you want."
Behind them, more superhumans used individual gliders and 3D mobile suits to rush over from all directions. Some of them even rushed over from the sky.
The Red Dragon Army's armored vehicles also set up defense lines at the perimeter of the dust cloud to stop the monsters and zombies that might appear and spread to other places.
Quite a number of fighting squads had already entered the collapsed buildings and started saving the trapped citizens.
This scene caused Meng Chao to sigh in relief.
He could now focus on handling the attackers in Noble Descent Hotel.
"Let's go in!"
He held the Hammer of Destruction in his arms and walked through the ruins as if he was walking on flat ground. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, which was shrouded in dust.
At that moment, at least three floors of Noble Descent Hotel had sunk into the ground. The entrance was just a distorted hole blasted open by an explosion.
Near the hole, there was a dark crack in the ground that led to an unknown place. Countless monsters crawled out of it.
These monsters had to lurk underground for a long period of time so that they would not be discovered by humans.
Most of them were medium-sized shell-type monsters, arthropod-type monsters, and reptile-type monsters.
Most of them were insect-type monsters commonly known as Scythe Heads.
They were like the amalgamation of a praying mantis and a longhorn beetle, but they were magnified by nearly one hundred times.
Its entire body was covered in hair-raising spikes, and in front of its head were two blade-like appendages. When it was swung with great force, it could even leave horrifying marks on reinforced concrete walls.
When Meng Chao and Lu Siya arrived, hundreds of Sickle-Heads had already crawled into Noble Descent Hotel.
There were also a lot of scorpion-type monsters and spider-type monsters that could spit acid, poison, and adhesive liquid, as well as Giant Centipedes that were thicker than pythons.
Forget about their fighting strength, just their monstrous and ugly appearances alone could deal a psychological blow to humans. The colorful insect-type monsters were definitely above the mighty liger-type monsters.
Fortunately, while insect-type monsters had great offense, as long as their shells were destroyed, their defense would not be high.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other. They brought out their grenades and threw them over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Most of the Scythe Heads, Golden Spirits, and Giant Centipedes were considered normal monsters, so they could be destroyed by firearms.
The two of them threw dozens of grenades in one go, blasting the swarm of insects into pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Countless giant worms were riddled with holes by the shrapnel and flipped upside down by the shockwave. They twitched violently with broken limbs, unable to turn back.
Only a few of the insect leaders at the level of Nightmarish Ferocious Beasts avoided the shrapnel and blast in time and hissed at the two of them.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was a large "sickle head" with a metallic sheen on its blade-like limbs. It crawled at an extremely fast speed and had the jumping ability of a flea.
These Nightmarish Beasts were commonly known as Golden Scythes. Due to their outstanding mobility and sharp mandibles, they were the great enemies of the normal citizens and the Red Dragon Army.
In the past, when monsters attacked, the tragedy of two Golden Scythes tearing apart a heavy fighting vehicle often happened.
At that moment, Meng Chao could see at least ten Golden Scythes.
Eight of them jumped high into the air and climbed to the higher floors of Noble Descent Hotel. With their golden blade-like limbs, they easily tore through the armor blocking the windows and crawled inside.
The other five jumped toward Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
With piercing howls, their blade-like limbs intersected with each other to form a storm of blades.
Boom!
Right after the storm was formed, it was immediately destroyed by Meng Chao's Hammer of Destruction!
The vehicle-mounted heavy rifle grenade launcher was in Meng Chao's arms. Through slight adjustments to his muscles and bones, he completely negated the recoil, and his shooting accuracy was even higher than when he installed it on an armored vehicle.
Practically every rifle grenade grazed past the enemy's blade-like limbs by a hair's breadth and rammed into the weakest mouthpiece between the blade-like limbs. They exploded in the depths of the mouthpiece and blasted the Golden Scythes' heads to pieces.
Even if the Golden Scythes were insect-type monsters that did not have very developed brains.
They also needed their heads to receive orders from the underground mastermind.
Their heads were reduced to mush, and the Golden Scythes fell from the air. They twitched violently on the ground, and sparks flew when their blade-like limbs scratched against each other.
Meng Chao strode forward and drew close to the Golden Scythes. He stepped on their blade-like limbs and stabbed the burning barrel of the Hammer of Destruction deep into their scattered wounds. Then, he pulled the trigger again.
Muffled sounds rose, and the Golden Scythes' stomachs exploded.
When Meng Chao pulled out the barrel, the slightly red barrel was covered in the sticky liquid of the giant insects. It released white smoke and a pungent smell.
Meng Chao was unbothered. He placed the Hammer of Destruction on his shoulder again.
He exerted force in his feet, and spirit energy gushed out of his feet like sharp blades. He tore off a Golden Scythe's golden blade-like limb.
The Golden Scythes' blade-like limbs were formed by eating ores rich in spirit energy and rare elements over a long period of time. Crystals and minerals gathered at the ends of the limbs, and their hardness and sharpness did not lose to the polished sabers of humans. There were also sawteeth at the tips of the blade-like limbs, which further increased their cutting efficiency.
Meng Chao swung them, and the whooshing sounds of wind being sliced rose. A strange feeling flowed through his body from his fingertips, and his desire to kill instantly became ten times stronger.
Meng Chao grinned and tore off another blade-like limb.
No, this was not enough.
There were four more Golden Scythes, and they had a total of ten blade-like limbs. They were all torn off.
Eight of them were tied together and hung by his waist. The other two were held in his hands and pointed at the insect swarm not too far away.
Even the low-grade creatures that did not have any intelligence were so terrified by the killing intent he released that it surged into the sky. They retreated like a receding tide.
When Meng Chao took one step forward, the insect swarm had to take one step back. They were about to retreat into the crack they had crawled out of.
At that moment, three burning black beetles crawled out of the crack.
Whoosh! “
The shells on the backs of the three black beetles, which were even larger than bathtubs, split open one after another, revealing two gigantic pairs of translucent wings. Colorful swirls were growing on the wings, making them look like bottomless ghost eyes.
Whoosh!
The three black beetles flew into the air and flapped their wings fiercely. They scattered a large amount of golden powder.
When the golden powder landed on the insect swarm, it was as if all the insect-type monsters had been injected with a stimulant. They went berserk again and rubbed their shells, wings, blade-like limbs, and mouthparts. They let out screeches that could pierce a person's brain.
"Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle?"
Meng Chao smiled, revealing his sharp teeth.
This was … an old enemy.
In his previous life, the direct culprit who had destroyed his family was a Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle.
After he returned to the past, the first superbeast he killed was also a Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle.
This thing could not only shoot flames filled with oil from a high vantage point to create an effect similar to a napalm bomb.
It could also spread the phosphorous powder on its wings to stimulate the killing instincts of the black beetles and other insects.
If this had been the Meng Chao from two years ago, he would have definitely felt a headache coming on.
But now …
Thud! Thud! Thud! “
The three Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles shot three sticky fireballs at Meng Chao at the same time.
Meng Chao did not dodge. He was surrounded by flames and turned into a bright torch.
However, three 'flying daggers' shot out from the torch.
The Golden Scythe's blade-like limbs spun at high speed and drew three strange arcs in the air. Then, like missiles, they hit the three targets.
In the past, Meng Chao had to shoot the moment the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle shot the fireballs and seize the one-in-a-million chance to kill it.
Right now, Meng Chao only needed to seize the moment when the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles were weakened after they spat out flames. Then, he could use the mandibles of the Golden Scythe to cut the three insects into six pieces and have them fall to the ground.
Flames still surrounded Meng Chao's body.
Spirit energy from Blue Origin Crystals gushed out of his pores and formed a protective layer on his skin. Not a single strand of his hair was burned. Instead, it gave him the air of a God of War with Flames.
To insect-type monsters with lower mental strength, they were afraid of fire, especially moving flames like Meng Chao's. It was an instinct that was carved into their genes.
Wherever Meng Chao went, the insect-type monsters would crumble and flee in all directions.
Those who ran slower were cut into pieces by the Golden Scythe's blade-like limbs and stomped on them.
In an instant, not a single insect-type monster could be seen at the entrance of Noble Descent Hotel.
Many of the insect-type monsters crawled into the cracks and prepared to regroup underground before launching a new charge.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other. Both of them took off the tactical vests covered in grenades.
They pulled out the safety pins and tossed the remaining grenades and tactical vests into the bottomless cracks filled with insect-like creatures. Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The grenades exploded one after another. The shrapnel ravaged the insect-type monsters like a meat grinder. The shockwave traveled far into the sealed underground and squeezed out the sticky liquid in the insect-type monsters' bodies. The pain was unimaginable.
When the final explosion was over, Lu Siya knelt down on one knee and placed her palms on the ground. She mumbled and had her spirit tattoos flow from her temples to her shoulders, arms, and fingertips. They surged into the ground and changed the molecular structure of the rock stratum so that the cracks slowly closed up.
A centipede that was even thicker than a python was badly battered by the explosion. It felt dizzy and wanted to crawl out before the cracks completely closed up.
But Lu Siya increased the speed at which she changed the material structure. Before the Giant Centipede crawled out completely, she closed up the entire crack.
The Giant Centipede was stuck in the ground. It struggled with all its might, but it could not move.
Meng Chao brought out two of the Golden Scythe's blade-like limbs. They crossed each other like scissors and twisted the Giant Centipede's head. Half of its body was immediately cut off.
"Let's go!"
Meng Chao used the two blade-like limbs to pin down the Giant Centipede's head and the half of its body stuck in the ground so that the poisonous liquid from the cut would not spill out. Then, he turned his head around and said to Lu Siya.
The two of them left behind the insect carcasses all over the ground and strode into Noble Descent Hotel through the hole.
