228: Chapter 228 Subverts all scientific cognition! This is a miracle!
At the top of the Pyramid.
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back.
His cold gaze swept over the hundred thousand Indian troops surging like a tide below!
Artillery roared! Smoke filled the air!
The armored cluster was like a steel torrent! Crushing fleeing soldiers! Charging madly towards the Pyramid!
"Ants..."
A sneer curved his lips.
"Dilireba."
"Here!" Sand gathered beside him! Dilireba's fiery red hair danced wildly! Her sexy figure condensed! Her eyes burned with intense battle intent!
"My Lord commands..."
Lin Mo's voice was cold, like a divine oracle:
"In this battle..."
"Everyone must be headshotted!"
Dilireba's lips curved into a wild and cruel smile!
"As you command, My Lord!"
She spun sharply!
Whoosh—!
Transforming into a violent sandstorm tornado! It shot up into the sky!
Instantly!
It hovered above the Pyramid!
Like an enraged goddess of the desert! Overlooking the charging army of ants below!
"Sand..."
Her red lips parted slightly, her voice like the wail of a storm, yet it clearly pierced through the roaring artillery!
"Heed my command!"
Her jade hand lifted slightly!
Buzz—!
Below!
The entire sea of sand!
Like boiling, angry waves! It erupted violently!
Countless fine grains of sand! As if pulled by an invisible magnetic force! Instantly detached from the ground! Transforming into hundreds of millions of barely visible sandstorm hurricanes!
Precise!
Lethal!
Like living things!
Towards the tens of thousands of Indian soldiers charging at the forefront!
They swept away!
"Ah! Sand!!"
"It's in my eyes!!"
"Cough cough cough!!"
The soldiers at the very front were instantly swallowed by the sandstorm hurricanes!
The sand was omnipresent!
Like hundreds of millions of bloodthirsty venomous insects!
Madly burrowing into their... eyes!
Nostrils!
Ears!
Mouths!
"Ugh... H-h-h..."
The soldiers instantly suffocated!
Their eyes were ground to a bloody pulp by the sand! The pain was excruciating!
Their nostrils were blocked by sand! Unable to breathe!
Their ears were filled with sand! Buzzing loudly!
Their mouths were packed with sand! Unable to even scream!
They frantically dropped their guns! Their hands wildly clawed at their faces! Their necks! Trying to dig out the sand!
But!
The sand! Like maggots clinging to bone!
Under Dilireba's control!
Solidified!
Hardened!
Like cement! Tightly sealing their seven orifices!
"Mmm... Mmm mmm!!"
The soldiers' faces instantly turned from red to purple! From purple to black!
Their eyeballs bulged! Bloodshot! Almost bursting from their sockets!
Veins beneath their skin wildly protruded! Like twisted earthworms!
Suffocation! Extreme suffocation!
Their brains lacked oxygen! Their consciousness blurred!
Like fish thrown ashore! They twitched and struggled in vain!
The next second!
Puff! Puff puff puff puff puff—!!!
Like ripe watermelons smashed by a heavy hammer!
Tens of thousands of heads!
Without any warning!
Simultaneously!
Exploded!
Red! White! Mixed with sticky sand!
Like countless bizarre, bloody... human-head lotuses blooming in the desert!
Instantly blossomed!
Spectacular!
Cruel!
Chilling!
Headless corpses! Like wheat cut down! Fell in swathes!
Blood! Brain matter! Stained the golden sea of sand red!
A strong smell of blood! Shot up into the sky!
Dead silence!
Absolute dead silence!
The charging tide!
As if hitting an invisible dam!
Instantly!
Stagnated!
Behind!
All the Indian soldiers!
As if under a freezing spell!
Stared in horror at the tens of thousands of headless corpses in front!
Watching the red and white mixture flowing freely on the sand!
Watching the "human-head lotuses" blooming like a scene from hell!
A cold chill!
Shot straight from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
"De... Devil!!"
"The sa... the sand is eating people!!"
"Run—!!"
Collapse!
Complete collapse!
The soldiers let out inhuman screams! Abandoning their helmets and armor! They fled madly like headless chickens! Trampling each other! In utter chaos!
At the top of the Pyramid.
Lin Mo was expressionless.
In the depths of his consciousness.
Cold notifications cascaded like a waterfall!
[Killed Indian soldier X1, gained Brain Quantum: 50 points (Headshot)]
[Killed Indian soldier X1, gained Brain Quantum: 50 points (Headshot)]
[Killed Indian soldier X1, gained Brain Quantum: 50 points (Headshot)]
...[Killed Indian soldier X1000, gained Brain Quantum: 500,000 points (Headshot)]
Massive!
Truly massive!
In the command vehicle!
The One-Eyed Dragon King's single eye bulged! Staring intently at the tens of thousands of "human-head lotuses" blooming like hell in front of him!
Watching the tens of thousands of headless corpses! Watching the blood and brain matter staining the sand sea red!
Watching the hundred thousand-strong army completely collapse and trample each other!
A chill!
Shot straight from his tailbone to the top of his head!
All the hairs on his body stood on end!
"Im... Impossible!!" His voice was hoarse! Filled with unspeakable horror and... a hint of fear he was forcibly suppressing!
"Sand... How can sand kill people?!"
"Headshots?! Tens of thousands of heads exploding simultaneously?!"
"What the hell is the principle behind this?!"
He frantically spun his scientifically armed brain!
Parasites?!
Viruses?!
Sonic resonance?!
Nanobots?!
All known scientific theories! In the face of this bizarre, bloody, divine punishment-like scene!
Were pale and powerless!
Utter nonsense!
"Calm down! Calm down!!" He viciously pinched his thigh! The sharp pain barely kept him somewhat clear-headed!
"It must be some kind of... unknown biochemical weapon!!"
"Yes! Parasites! Or nerve gas! Spread through the sand!!"
He clutched at this last straw! Roaring hysterically:
"Command!!"
"Everyone!! Immediately put on the highest-grade biochemical protective suits!! Isolate all air contact!!"
"Heavy artillery positions!! Open fire for me!! Saturated suppressive fire!!"
"Target—the Pyramid!!"
"Damn it! I don't care what gold mines are inside! What technology!!"
"Blast it! Blast it flat for me!!"
"Blast that cursed place! Along with the devils inside! To kingdom come!!!"
He was completely insane! And utterly terrified!
What gold mines! What technology!
His life was more important!
First destroy this cursed place, then talk!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The heavy artillery positions, already prepared!
Fifty large-caliber heavy cannons! The muzzle flashes merged into a single sheet of fire! Like a volcanic eruption!
Deafening roars! Tearing through the air!
Dozens of high-explosive shells! Like meteors of death! Trailing shrill screams! Streaked across the sky!
With an aura of destroying everything!
Slammed fiercely towards the towering, majestic Pyramid! Emitting an ominous golden light!
"Die!!!" The One-Eyed Dragon King's single eye was bloodshot! His face ferocious! He let out a beast-like roar!
At the top of the Pyramid.
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back.
His eyes were cold.
Watching the shells raining down like raindrops!
His lips!
Curved into a mocking arc!
"Sand."
He uttered a single word softly.
Beside him!
Dilireba's fiery red hair danced wildly! Intense red light flashed in her eyes!
"As you command, My Lord!"
Her jade hand suddenly pointed towards the sky!
Buzz—!!!
Below!
The entire sea of sand! Roared and boiled!
Hundreds of millions of tons of yellow sand! Like soldiers receiving orders! Instantly rose from the ground!
Transforming into a single! Sky-reaching, earth-connecting! Incredibly thick! A sandstorm curtain like a mountain range spanning the firmament!
Yellow sand rolled! Obscuring the sky and sun!
Like a golden, angry tide! Rolling upwards against the current!
Instantly!
It blocked the sky above the Pyramid!
The dozens of shells carrying destructive aura!
Crashed headlong into this vast and boundless sandstorm curtain!
Puff! Puff puff puff—!
Like a mud ox entering the sea!
There was no earth-shattering explosion!
No fiery shockwave reaching the sky!
The shells!
The moment they plunged into the sandstorm!
Their speed! Plummeted!
As if they had fallen into an extremely viscous quicksand!
Their kinetic energy was frantically rubbed, devoured, and canceled out by billions of sand grains!
Immediately after!
Inside the sand grains! Terrifying compressive force erupted!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
Dull explosions sounded within the sandstorm!
Like muffled thunder!
Only the surface of the sandstorm! Slightly bulged with several huge sand mounds!
Then!
They were instantly smoothed out and swallowed by the endless flowing sand!
Not even a trace of smoke! Managed to escape!
The sandstorm curtain! Still! Stood unmoving!
Like the Wall of Sighs existing since ancient times!
Silently annihilating all attacks!
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the sandstorm! Casting mottled light and shadow!
The Pyramid!
Under the protection of the sandstorm!
Was completely unharmed!
Tranquil!
Like the dwelling of a god!
"Im... Impossible!!!"
In the command vehicle!
The One-Eyed Dragon King was like all his bones had been removed!
With a "thud"!
He collapsed onto the roof of the vehicle!
His single eye stared fixedly at the unharmed Pyramid! Staring at the sandstorm curtain that blocked all artillery fire like a miracle!
His worldview!
His faith!
His scientific understanding!
At this moment!
Completely!
Collapsed!
Shattered!
"Sand... Sand blocking shells?!"
"What... What the hell is this?!"
"Energy shield?! Magic barrier?!"
"Divine... Divine punishment?!"
He trembled like a sieve! His teeth chattered! A warm liquid uncontrollably flowed down his pant leg! A pungent smell permeated the air!
Fear!
Like the coldest venom! Instantly soaked every inch of his bone marrow!
"Re... Retreat!!"
"Armored units! All armored vehicles!! Retreat for me!! Retreat backward!!"
"Heavy artillery!! Keep firing!! Don't stop!!"
"Fire! Fire, now—!!"
He roared hysterically! His voice filled with a sob and extreme despair!
Like a trapped beast driven to a dead end!
Making... futile struggles!
