163: Section 163

The bullet hit the Phage Beast's head but stopped at the surface of its body.

Jing Yuan could vaguely see that there was a shield on the surface of this Phage Beast's body!

"It has a shield!"

Jing Yuan was the first to discover the shield; the others immediately began thinking of a countermeasure upon hearing this information.

However, before they could even come up with a plan!

The Phage Beast suddenly let out a roar toward the sky, and a strange light began to radiate from around its body!

Immediately afterward, everyone felt their heads grow heavy!

Just like the previous Calyx Beast and Twin-Jawed Beast, this Phage Beast could also launch mental attacks.

And its mental attack seemed to be even more powerful!

The three soldiers on Quid's side were the first to be unable to withstand it, fainting directly.

The people from Dragon Bone Village were mostly fine; Taciturn was slightly worse off, but everyone could still hold on, though they were unable to move.

The only one who still had the strength to fight was Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan retracted the blades of the scale disk and flew into the air, stepping upon it.

The Phage Beast definitely possessed intelligence; it looked at Jing Yuan flying up with surprise in its eyes.

Jing Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, delivering a head-on slash to the Phage Beast's head.

When the strike landed, it was blocked by the protective shield on the Phage Beast's body.

The power of the war blade's slash was greatly weakened!

But even so, the forward momentum of the war blade did not stop.

Jing Yuan continued to exert force, pressing downward!

The Phage Beast's eyes suddenly fixed on Jing Yuan, and then Jing Yuan felt the war blade being controlled by a force, causing its forward speed to drop once again.

This was the Phage Beast using Telekinesis!

Jing Yuan immediately withdrew his blade, because at that moment, one of the Phage Beast's palms was already swinging toward him!

Jing Yuan controlled the scale disk to rapidly gain altitude.

The Phage Beast's strike hit nothing but air!

From that strike just now, the Phage Beast seemed to sense the threat Jing Yuan posed, focusing all its energy on dealing with him, so its suppression of the others lessened.

Star Shatterer and the others regained consciousness and immediately launched an artillery attack on the Phage Beast.

To deal with the fire, the Phage Beast's shield once again covered its entire body.

Jing Yuan also seized the opportunity, quickly controlling the six Flying Cones to streak forward!

The Flying Cones landed on the Phage Beast almost simultaneously with the bullets, grenades, and arrows, but they were all blocked by the Phage Beast's shield.

All the ammunition exploded instantly.

But the shockwaves from these explosions were all blocked!

Except for Jing Yuan's Flying Cones; after being blocked by the shield, their speed plummeted, but the Flying Cones still broke through the shield in their low-speed state and pierced into the Phage Beast's body.

This time, the six Flying Cones successfully pierced through the Phage Beast's body.

But even so, the Phage Beast's body healed in an instant!

Jing Yuan recalled the Flying Cones with a solemn expression; encountering such a powerful Phage Beast for the first time, how should he fight it?

Ranged attacks were ineffective, so only close combat remained.

But close-combat attacks would also be blocked by the shield.

"Dammit!" Star Shatterer said through gritted teeth. "The Phage Beast has a shield; there's nothing we can do to it!"

Thousand Miles, who was beside her, asked Jing Yuan, "Jing Yuan, you were close to the Phage Beast just now. Did you see exactly what the shield on its body is? Is it a Bromine Mist Shield? Or a Plasma Shield?"

"What's the difference?"

Thousand Miles explained, "If it's a Bromine Mist Shield, it forms a Non-Newtonian fluid through bromine mist on the Phage Beast's surface; this shield becomes stronger against strong impacts and weaker against weak ones! But essentially, it's still just tanking the hits. If it's a Plasma Shield, then it uses a magnetic field to constrain the high-speed movement of objects."

Jing Yuan pressed his earpiece and said, "I feel like it should be a Plasma Shield!"

"Good!" Thousand Miles suddenly said. "If I solve the shield, can you kill it?"

"How are you going to solve the shield?"

"My Superpower is using my own cells to release an electromagnetic field, ionizing objects in the air to form a shield! As long as I use my magnetic field to disrupt its magnetic field, I can break its shield!"

"Can it work?"

"I don't know, I can only try!"

There was no more time left for them.

The Phage Beast was already right before their eyes!

Thousand Miles approached the Phage Beast and immediately released his Bio-electromagnetic Field!

For him, this was also a significant challenge; with the Phage Beast's massive size, trying to interfere with its magnetic field was no different from a snake trying to swallow an elephant!

But Thousand Miles could only give it a try!

Jing Yuan stayed in the air, releasing the Flying Cones to maneuver around the Phage Beast, forcing it to defend!

Although it could use Telekinesis, it had no weapon; its use of Telekinesis was only for blocking attacks.

Thousand Miles continued to release the electromagnetic field, going all out to cover the Phage Beast's entire body with it.

"Jing Yuan, I've finished!"

"Alright!"

Jing Yuan immediately dived down, holding the war blade high above his head and slashing it down fiercely onto the Phage Beast's head.

With this slash, a massive wound instantly appeared on the Phage Beast's head.

"Roar!"

Exasperated, the Phage Beast swung a slap toward its own face.

Jing Yuan quickly gained altitude, making the slap miss!

The Phage Beast became even more exasperated!

Jing Yuan observed that this time, the Phage Beast's wound actually did not heal quickly.

It seemed that this war blade had a suppressive effect on the Phage Beast!

"It's working!"

Thousand Miles gave a strained smile. "Then hurry up, I can't hold on for much longer!"

Jing Yuan's gaze fixed on the Phage Beast's head; he was looking for the trajectory of the spatial fluctuations!

"Found it!"

"Space Whirlwind Slash!"

Jing Yuan charged forward instantly; using the trajectory of the spatial fluctuations, he was like someone gaining momentum by descending from a high point to a lower one.

Both his speed and power reached a new level!

Crack, crack!

Five or six more massive wounds appeared on the Phage Beast's head.

Jing Yuan retreated as soon as he finished slashing; the Phage Beast couldn't hit him at all!

"Roar!"

The Phage Beast roared once more.

It was precisely this strike that allowed Jing Yuan to finally discover the location of the Phage Beast's spirit seed.

It was actually right in its head!

However, at this moment, the Phage Beast suddenly underwent a mutation.

A membrane suddenly grew on its originally exceptionally long forelimbs!

The membrane began growing from the armpits, eventually connecting the forelimbs and hind limbs together!

In fact, these hind limbs were just the Phage Beast's "Middle limbs."

Like the Twin-Jawed Beast, this Phage Beast had a pair of hind limbs that served no purpose under its rear.

Who knew what was going on with this kind of design!

But Jing Yuan had no time to think about that now.

Now that the Phage Beast had grown Wing membranes, it meant... it could fly!

Sure enough, right before Jing Yuan's eyes.

The Phage Beast suddenly flapped its forelimbs, and the Wing membranes began to heave accordingly.

It just ran and flapped its wings a few times, and then it took flight!
