Chapter 17 The Rift Valley

Just then, an unusual movement came from all around the rift.

One of the Night Watch mecha pilots on perimeter guard suddenly shouted,

"Enemy attack!"

In that instant, Hai Mo and the others all moved, turning their heads to look.

They saw only figures with dark skin and no hair, green eyes, limbs with extremely sharp claws and fangs, and disgusting pustules all over their backs, rushing over with extreme speed.

"They're infected alien beasts, estimated to be Type III and Type IV!"

Woer gave an extremely precise assessment in the first instance.

"Luo Qi, you protect Lan Xi and the others, cover them while they hide!"

"Yes!"

Luo Qi responded immediately.

"Woer, let's kill!"

Hai Mo decisively issued the order.

"Okay!"

Woer replied, instantly maneuvering his Shenwei (Divine Guard) mecha to meet a Type III alien beast, the Corpse Eater Beast, with extreme speed. He swung the particle light blade in his hand.

*Ka!*

The particle light blade precisely sliced off its head, and foul-smelling blood splattered.

At this moment, Woer maneuvered the Shenwei mecha, twisting its body to the limit, only to see a huge Type IV elite-level Corpse Eater Beast pouncing head-on.

He raised the particle light blade in his hand to block!

*Ka!*

Sparks flew everywhere.

Woer controlled the Shenwei mecha, drawing another light blade with his left hand, and with a fierce slash, killed the Corpse Eater Beast in front of him!

However, the number of Corpse Eater Beasts surrounding them increased.

Woer and the others frowned.

Just then, the many Corpse Eater Beasts surrounding them suddenly scattered, and a Type V lord-level Corpse Eater Beast King, a hundred meters tall, with scarlet eyes, and a mass of wriggling flesh tumors on its head, walked out, roaring!

A terrifying aura spread out!

Woer and the others narrowed their eyes, feeling extremely棘手.

...

At this time, Luo Qi rushed to Lan Xi and the others and said,

"Dr. Lan Xi, stop picking! Come with me!"

Seeing the guard team fighting the Corpse Eater Beasts to the death, Lan Xi immediately responded in order not to cause trouble.

"Okay!"

So Luo Qi took Lan Xi and the others and ran to the side.

Soon they came to the canyon wall not far away, where there was a crack one meter wide and fifteen meters long, just right for normal people to hide in.

This was what Luo Qi had discovered during a previous exploration.

"You hide inside first. This should be relatively safe. Don't come out until the battle is over."

Luo Qi instructed Lan Xi and the others.

"We understand."

Lan Xi nodded and quickly beckoned Fendi and the others to hide inside.

Soon, Lan Xi was the only one left who hadn't hidden inside, and Luo Qi quickly urged.

"Dr. Lan Xi, hurry in."

"Lord Luo Qi, those monsters? Can you handle them?"

Lan Xi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they're just some trash. We'll be able to clear them out soon..."

Luo Qi was halfway through her sentence when a roar came from the communication channel.

"A Lei!"

Luo Qi's heart trembled, and she turned her head to look, only to see an explosion in the distance, indicating that a teammate had been killed.

Luo Qi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling surfaced in her mind. She quickly said to Lan Xi,

"Dr. Lan Xi, hide inside quickly. Don't come out unless we call you."

Lan Xi immediately nodded and hid inside.

Luo Qi then controlled her mecha and rushed towards the battlefield.

As a result, at this time, she saw an incredibly shocking scene. She saw a pseudo-V generation pure mechanical mecha, You Ying (Phantom Shadow), being torn apart with a *ka* sound out of thin air!

It exploded the next second.

On the ground next to it, the corpse of the Type V lord-level Corpse Eater Beast King was also split in two from head to toe, lying quietly.

The entire battle hadn't lasted long from start to finish. Only Hai Mo and Woer were still alive on the scene, and everyone else had been instantly killed.

At this time, Hai Mo and Woer were facing a great enemy, constantly searching their surroundings, trying to find the source of the change.

But they couldn't find it at all.

However, the Corpse Eater Beasts around them, infected with negative god cells, had no rationality at all and were still madly rushing towards Hai Mo and Woer.

"Get out!"

Woer desperately cleaved a path through the troublesome Corpse Eater Beasts with a single slash.

Just then, a whistling wind sounded.

Woer suddenly maneuvered the Shenwei mecha to dodge, while activating the energy shield.

*Ka!*

The entire energy shield shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of starlight. At the same time, the Shenwei mecha's right arm, holding the light blade, was torn off and smashed heavily on the ground.

Intense pain stimulated Woer's nerves.

However, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but his heart was like a stormy sea at this moment.

At this time, Luo Qi, who had rushed over, saw this scene, and a feeling of unspeakable fear rose from the bottom of her heart.

In the past, no matter how strong the enemy was, at least they could be seen. But she couldn't even see a shadow of the enemy in front of her.

Luo Qi's body trembled uncontrollably, the negative energy contamination blood marks on her body began to emerge, the collar on her neck lit up with a red light, and the Shenwei mecha she was piloting froze in place.

Woer noticed Luo Qi, who was frozen in place, and roared at her.

"Luo Qi! Run!"

Luo Qi heard Woer's words and suddenly woke up. She suppressed the fear in her heart and replied.

"Big brother, I won't..."

But she was only halfway through her sentence!

*Ka!*

In an instant, the cockpit of the Shenwei mecha was torn open, and blood splattered!

"Luo Qi!"

Woer was completely enraged at this moment, and he controlled the mecha and rushed over.

But before he could react quickly, the air fluctuated.

*Ka!*

The entire Shenwei mecha was cut in half at the waist.

"How is this possible?"

Woer's eyes were filled with disbelief.

*Rumble*

A huge explosion swept out.

Hai Mo saw this scene, her eyes were immediately bloodshot, her face was full of extreme anger, and the veins on her forehead were bulging.

She waved the particle light blade and swept it across, sweeping away the alien beasts besieging her.

But Hai Mo did not control the mecha to rush towards the area where Woer and the others died. Instead, she controlled the Shenwei mecha and fled towards the distance of the canyon.

Hai Mo knew very well that she could not beat that unknown monster. Rushing up would only be sending herself to death. All she could do now was to lure it away!

The farther the better, so that Lan Xi and the others would have hope of surviving.

...

Inside the crack, Lan Xi and the others' faces became paler and paler.

They could see a little bit of the situation outside through the crack.

Watching their companions die one by one, they could only cover their mouths in fear, trying not to make a sound.

Time passed little by little, and the movement outside gradually subsided.

But Lan Xi and the others became more and more afraid to breathe, and the shadow of death continued to loom over their heads.

....

Unknowingly, more than ten hours passed.

It seemed that everything outside had completely quieted down.

Fendi suppressed the fear in her heart and whispered to Lan Xi,

"It seems completely quiet."

"I'll take a look."

Lan Xi moved a little bit towards the outside of the crack.

Just as Lan Xi moved to the edge of the crack, a Type III elite-level Corpse Eater Beast suddenly popped out, its sharp claws directly grabbing towards Lan Xi.

"Ah!"

Lan Xi screamed in terror and kept retreating.

As a result, the claws of the corrosive beast did not reach in and were stuck.

Immediately, the Corpse Eater Beast frantically clawed at the crack, trying to dig it open.

Lan Xi and the others were so frightened that they kept squeezing inside.

At this time, Fendi suddenly discovered that after passing through a narrow area, the crack had become larger. Moreover, it extended all the way inside. She shouted with great joy,

"There's a road inside, run inside!"
