Chapter 863 Sakura
The golden red blade is like a condensed fire, and the high-temperature flames are wrapped around it.
Hayata wielded the Flying Dragon Blade [Black Glory] and worked hard to cut the worm threads connected to the metal parts and giant bricks.
She also didn’t expect that the target of this new sword that had just been built not long ago when it was put into actual combat for the first time was not monsters, but these amazingly tough threads.
It has to be said that under the burning of high-temperature flames on the blade, the efficiency of this Tai Dao in cutting worm silk is much better than the previous Night Knife [Moon Shadow].
With his seriously injured body, he struggled to cope with the fierce attacks of the two great swordsmen, while working hard to build the market city. The progress was frequently interrupted due to repeated damage by worm threads.
The Mantis realized that if this continued, perhaps until it died, it would not be able to build a complete market city.
So it decided to change its strategy, step by step.
The tail segment and the blade arm of the leg holding the worm thread were pulled suddenly, and the large and small parts that Hayata had not had time to cut off the connection rose into the air and fell towards the mantis.
Gordon and Asa kept dodging to avoid being crushed by parts that weighed several tons or even dozens of tons.
This burst of crackling came down. Gordon Asa dodged in time and was not injured, but his movement was greatly restricted.
They felt as if they had suddenly arrived in a chaotic warehouse filled with debris. Walking and wielding swords would be affected. There were also a large number of silk threads entangled between those parts, making it extremely difficult to even get close to the Mantis. .
Not only them, but also Ancier, who continued to snipe from a distance, had to pause his firing.
The Mantis seems to be in a maze of huge parts, and its shooting range is almost completely blocked.
“Hayata!”
Gordon shouted to summon the "tool man" while trying to clean up the worm threads with his sword.
His [Divine Power] great sword and Asa's Horned King Sword can also cut through the worm threads, but the efficiency is very low. It often takes several swords to cut through a little bit, which is far less efficient than the fire attribute Feilong Sword [Black Radiance].
Hayata came running at full speed.
Having switched to the Fire Sword, it can be said that she has basically given up attacking the main body of Ge Mantis. Her only purpose at the moment is to cut off the worm threads to delay the construction of the market city, and to open the way for her companions.
While the hunters worked hard to break through the obstacles, the mantis gained a brief respite.
Its legs move rapidly, "gluing" the worm threads connecting many parts, and at the same time, it continuously spits out more worm threads for reinforcement.
A golden cocoon made entirely of worm silk, quickly formed.
Anhil, who kept adjusting the angle in the distance and looking for the shooting route, noticed all this through the scope.
He quickly recognized that the cocoon that Mantis was building was the "control center" he had seen on the mechanical behemoth before.
This thing must be the key to building a market city. Anhir quickly loaded two armor-piercing grenades into the fierce moment [Shigure], locked the cocoon mass and quickly pulled the trigger.
The crossbow projectiles flew towards me.
However, the Mantis's dynamic vision and reaction speed are astonishingly strong. The moment the crossbow projectile was about to hit the cocoon, it suddenly moved quickly and blocked the cocoon.
An armor-piercing grenade was nailed to its back, and then exploded.
“Chi—!” Ge Mantis screamed in pain, but his movements did not slow down at all.
As a key node in controlling the market city, this kind of cocoon is not as random as it seems. It is a pile of silk threads piled up and stuffed together.
In order to flexibly control various parts of the mechanical beast, the structure of this cocoon is actually very complex and precise. If it is damaged during the manufacturing process, it is likely to fail.
So it would rather use its body to block the crossbow projectile than let its cocoon be affected.
“It’s using worm silk to create a central hub!” Anhil, who couldn’t find the shooting angle for a while, shouted: “Kill the central hub, otherwise the market city will be formed soon!”
Gordon realized that the "center" Ancier mentioned should refer to the two small cocoons on the previous mechanical beast, except for the giant cocoon where the Mantis body was located.
Hayata also realized this. No need to remind her, she immediately stopped clearing the path and prepared to take advantage of Tai Sword Master's flexible body to pass through the intricate silk threads like a spider web alone and rush towards the location of the mantis.
But it’s still a step too late.
The Mantis, which completed its cocoon under the crossbow shot, quickly pulled and manipulated the silk threads at a speed that even the top puppeteers could not match.
Through the assistance of the cocoon center, the speed of parts stacking suddenly increased by several steps.
However, perhaps due to serious injuries, tight time and many interferences, Ge Mantis was unable to build a complete mechanical behemoth.
The size of the market city in front of us is only half the size of the previous mechanical behemoth. From a physical point of view, it is almost the front half of the mechanical behemoth. It cannot move and walk, and it has no head.
But this is enough to elevate Ge Mantis's strength to another level.
The dragon-shooting spear and the wing claws composed of huge steel beams were swung down one after another, as if to vent the anger in its heart.
“That guy relies on vibration, right?” Even though it was his first time fighting against Xucheng, the experienced Asa still realized the key immediately.
“Don’t move yet.” After saying this briefly, he started running alone.
Sure enough, Ge Mantis immediately controlled his two wing claws and chased Asa to smash him.
Gordon Hayata waited for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into high speed and charged towards the market at full speed.
“Attack the threads on your feet!” Gordon yelled and shouldered the sword.
Hayata immediately launched a series of air blade slashes.
In the fierce flames and sword light, the silk thread wrapped around the ankle of the giant beast was cut off.
The Xucheng, which was hastily constructed, was only half a body, and had only two legs to support the balance. One of them lost control, and the Xucheng suddenly tilted severely, and its movements temporarily stopped.
"Climb up!"
Gordon raised his sword high and placed the sword blade diagonally on the leg of the mechanical behemoth.
Hayata understood the idea, put away the sword and took a few steps back. Then he jumped up, stepped on Gordon's shoulder, and used the back of the sword to jump onto the lap of the mechanical behemoth, and then continued to climb up quickly. .
Her eyes were fixed on the center on the back of the mechanical behemoth.
As long as this cocoon is eliminated, the newly raised market city will collapse again!
Using all his strength, he quickly climbed up the back of the mechanical behemoth. Before he could draw his weapon, the mechanical behemoth under his feet began to shake violently.
Looking sideways at the Mantis not far away, there was no time to build the "cockpit".
The latter was also looking at her.
——!
Ge Mantis screamed, controlled the mechanical beast, and drove its wing claws to hit her.
The back of the mechanical behemoth is uneven, making it difficult to dodge, and it is meaningless how many times it dodges attacks. If the center cannot be eliminated as soon as possible and the city is destroyed, the battle will be endless.
How to quickly chop the center of the two-meter-diameter coil?
Kamui Iai? The mechanical wing claws that swung down would not give her a chance to accumulate power.
Continuous slashing with the air blade? Not that good of an attack window.
The only thing we can do is take risks.
This was a move she had secretly practiced, but could never master because she didn't have flying insects and couldn't reach that kind of starting speed.
However, when you are in a state of courage, your control over your body is greatly improved. Maybe you can give it a try!
“Boom!”
The mechanical wing claws slammed down, and Hayata jumped back and took a big step to dodge.
Using the inertia of the backward jump, her legs were slightly bent, and her calf muscles and knees were tense like compressed springs.
Immediately afterwards, it turned into a fast afterimage, rushed forward, and arrived in front of the central cocoon almost in a flash.
Her body was spinning, and the Flying Dragon Blade [Black Glory] continuously cut across the central cocoon. The red light of the sword flashed with fire and air blades, and the scattered fighting energy danced like cherry blossoms.
Sakura Air Blade Slash!
The cocoon ball was divided into three parts and fell down diagonally.
The Xucheng, which lost its only center, began to collapse.
