213: rescue

As for the excretory system?

Black Fiend's powerful digestive capabilities allow it to digest food as thoroughly as possible, leaving very little residue.

These residues are normally hidden within Black Fiend's body, waiting until it reaches a safe area before the body's seal is opened for excretion.

In a sense, thanks to the Bruno Institute's efforts, Black Fiend has physically achieved the functions of the Talent Extraction System.

Through the combination of countless creatures' flesh and blood, it has gained innumerable terrifying Talents.

Such a powerful Black Fiend is the reason Ismail dared to make such a boast.

If not for her caution, Ismail even believed that Black Fiend alone could sweep across the entire Blue Star.

Who could defeat this terrifying fusion beast?

The Tiger King could not, the ocean could not, and Blue Star certainly could not!

Black Fiend will be the strongest single organism on the entire Blue Star.

If Ismail hadn't been extremely cautious, she would have even thought she didn't need the Alpha Gene at all.

This was merely icing on the cake.

Without the Alpha Gene, Black Fiend could still overcome anything!

However, despite its seemingly powerful appearance, it was merely a castrated waste.

It was also brainwashed by the Bruno Institute into a tool devoid of a free soul.

Silently executing the Bruno Institute's orders.

When Black Fiend chose to stay for a trivial gain, its tragic fate was already sealed.

Don't let Black Fiend's current misery fool you; the Ismail Institute possesses plenty of Awakened Beasts in similar predicaments.

It is merely a microcosm of the Awakened Beasts in the Ismail Institute.

If Lin Tianwei hadn't possessed enough strength to turn the tables back then, his fate wouldn't have been much better than Black Fiend's.

These people would tear and destroy Lin Tianwei's spirit, then reshape him into their lapdog.

They would never allow a tool to have too much consciousness.

The stronger the tool, the more so.

The castrated and brainwashed Black Fiend charged into the Misty Forest, naturally following Ismail's orders.

To attempt to rescue the previously lost mechas.

For a terrifying giant beast capable of devouring everything to execute a rescue plan, it must be said, it is a great irony.

Soon, Black Fiend encountered its first difficulty.

That was the loss of vision.

The Misty Forest's blockade of vision was unresolvable even for Black Fiend.

Everywhere it looked, there was mist capable of blocking all sight.

Conversely, the seemingly terrifying mental pollution was largely ineffective against Black Fiend.

After all, Black Fiend was a creature designed to fight Lin Tianwei.

Mental defense was naturally the top priority.

Its brain had undergone countless modifications, giving it the ability to be immune to a certain degree of mental attacks.

At the level of the mist's mental attacks, it was clearly insufficient to break through Black Fiend's mental defense.

However, this feeling of losing vision was truly unpleasant, causing Black Fiend to gradually become agitated.

It let out anxious roars.

Attempting to scare away its enemies through this method.

However, this was futile.

Even the hundred-meter-long Black Fiend could not disperse the mist of the Misty Forest.

Fortunately, Black Fiend quickly found the best way to obtain information.

That was its sense of smell.

This mist seemed unable to block scent.

This seemingly simple method of perception was enough to deter ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of creatures.

Mechas would undoubtedly restrict the driver's sense of smell.

Breathing directly in such a dangerous place?

One truly wouldn't know how one died.

The terrifying mist would instantly rush to the brain, completely polluting the spirit of the inhaler.

Only creatures like Black Fiend, which are both powerful and possess a strong sense of smell, can move freely in the Misty Forest.

Relying on Black Fiend's incredibly sensitive sense of smell, it quickly obtained a large amount of information, barely able to discern the path forward.

It began to run rapidly through the Misty Forest.

With powerful muscle bursts, Black Fiend once again transformed into an indistinct black lightning bolt.

It was about to begin its rescue plan!

Soon, Black Fiend found its first target.

It was a massive mecha, but in front of Black Fiend's even larger size, it seemed like a toy.

At this moment, it stood motionless, as if it had lost power.

Seeing its target, Black Fiend let out a threatening roar.

Attempting to awaken this seemingly insignificant toy.

However, in the face of Black Fiend's intimidation, this mecha seemed completely dead, showing no movement at all.

This indifference infuriated Black Fiend.

If it hadn't been completely brainwashed, Black Fiend wouldn't have bothered with such a boring toy.

And now this toy dared to ignore it, how could Black Fiend not be enraged?

Although it had been tamed by the Bruno Institute, it still retained its wild beast nature.

Letting out a low growl, Black Fiend directly extended its claw towards the mecha.

Black Fiend's modified claws were no longer its weakness; instead, they possessed even greater strength.

Especially its sharp talons, which were extremely pointed.

Even sharper than the Wind Gold Dagger, which had undergone countless improvements and modifications.

Boom.

With a huge explosion, the mecha was directly slammed into the ground by Black Fiend.

Most of its body sank into the mud.

It was even strangely folded, as if it had been hit by a dump truck.

Revealing the bloody muscles hidden in its joints.

Those were the muscles of a monster.

The driving mechanism of this massive mecha.

To inflict such terrifying damage on this massive mecha with just one blow, Black Fiend's formidable strength was evident.

However, after this claw strike, Black Fiend was somewhat surprised.

In its opinion, such a toy should have been shattered by its claw, which would have been normal.

Instead, its lack of fatal injury surprised it somewhat.

Hesitating for a moment, Black Fiend pressed the device hanging on its chest.

This device was the key to why it was sent to rescue these mechas.

Although the pilot had lost consciousness, the mecha's autopilot system was still functioning normally.

As long as the button in front of Black Fiend was activated, all mechas that received the signal would enter unmanned driving mode.

And follow the signal source.

Due to the Misty Forest's suppression of signals, this range would not be too large.

But for rescuing these mechas, it was already sufficient.

Because Black Fiend's body was large enough, and the signal source it carried was even more enormous.

Mechas within a large radius around it could receive the unmanned driving signal.

Following it to leave this dangerous Misty Forest.

Using machinery, this was also a common method of exploration used by humans in the Misty Forest.

They would send out pre-programmed machines to explore the Misty Forest.

This was the lowest-risk exploration method.

However, under the blockade of the mist, remote control signals simply couldn't travel very far.

These machines could only perform tasks according to their preset programs.

Coupled with completely obstructed vision, this kind of exploration yielded almost no information.

Low risk, but essentially no information gained.

This was also why America sent powerful mecha units.

Mechas piloted by humans were more reliable than machines that only performed tasks according to fixed programs.

But they didn't expect to directly trap the entire mecha unit in the Misty Forest.

As for AI?

Even the most advanced AI control system could not make better choices in this place where information was basically unobtainable.

Although it looked like a wolf, Black Fiend's claws were incredibly flexible.

Completely free from the limitations of a wolf's body.

With a light touch, it activated the device on its chest.

As the signal began to spread with Black Fiend's body as the center, the sounds of numerous mechas moving echoed through the Misty Forest.

Even the mecha that Black Fiend had slammed struggled to its feet, crawling out of the dirt.

Its seemingly terrifying injuries surprisingly did not affect its mobility much.

It was simply incredible.

One must know that the more powerful a machine is, the more precise it is.

And the more precise a machine is, the more prone it is to malfunction.

This might be the miracle after the development of biotechnology.

However, this mecha was still quite heavily damaged.

After barely crawling out of the pit, it tottered and fell.

Black Fiend frowned at the sight.

Hesitating for a moment, it opened its huge wolf mouth and directly picked up the mecha.

Given the size difference between the two, this action did not seem abrupt at all.

Only when the sounds of mechas moving no longer echoed from the surroundings did Black Fiend slowly begin to walk out of the Misty Forest.

The mechas, like animated puppets, followed Black Fiend slowly out of the mist.

— —

Command Center.

MacArthur watched the motionless Misty Forest with a tense expression.

Five minutes had already passed since Ismail sent out Black Fiend.

It was almost time for the results of whether these lost mechas could be rescued.

Unfortunately, the mist of the Misty Forest was simply too buggy.

It could not only block signals and vision, but even sound.

This resulted in MacArthur being unable to obtain any information, only able to wait anxiously outside.

Finally, some changes appeared in the Misty Forest.

As Black Fiend got closer and closer to the Misty Forest.

A black figure gradually appeared.

Black Fiend's massive form could not be completely blocked even by the mist of the Misty Forest.

MacArthur's expression immediately became excited.

This black phantom before his eyes might be the key to saving those mechas.

At the same time, this was also Ismail's secret weapon.

A secret weapon capable of moving freely within the Misty Forest.

Could it be that his meticulously crafted Plan M was truly just a toy plan?

The success of plan b allowed for easy movement within the Misty Forest.

While his meticulously crafted mechas were only trapped deep within the Misty Forest.

This was the heaviest blow to MacArthur.

No.

He had not failed.

Plan M had not failed either.

Because he also had the ultimate weapon, the over three-hundred-meter-tall tianqing no..

Such a terrifying height meant that even the boundless mist could not completely envelop it.

Unless it delved into the core area, the Misty Forest simply could not stop tianqing no..

However, such a formidable height destined tianqing no. to be unsuitable for delicate tasks like exploration.

Destroying everything was its reason for existence.

As the black shadow gradually appeared, MacArthur finally saw clearly what the black shadow represented.

It was actually an extremely massive black giant wolf.

With its slender, steel-cable-like tail, it was a full three hundred meters long.

Compared to tianqing no., it was not inferior at all.

As for combat power?

It was still unknown who was stronger, the humanoid mecha or the beast-shaped black giant wolf.

Most importantly, countless mechas followed behind the black giant wolf.

Those were America's precious resources.

Being able to rescue them was a stroke of luck for all of America.

Black Fiend's intelligence was not low.

Or rather, the intelligence of any creature whose brain had been developed would not be low.

After leading all the mechas out of the Misty Forest's range, it directly deactivated the device on its chest.

Following the scent, it returned to the Misty Forest once again.

This man-eating forest still hid a large number of mechas awaiting its rescue.

Perhaps because it had already carried out one rescue, gaining rich experience.

The second rescue was completely familiar territory for Black Fiend.

Soon, it led another team of mechas out of the Misty Forest.

The mechas rescued in just these two operations accounted for half of the entire mecha brigade.

Which meant that Ismail had already completed her transaction with MacArthur.

The treasure chest containing the Alpha Gene was already hers.

However, Black Fiend was clearly not satisfied with merely rescuing half of the mechas.

After repeating this five times, it finally brought out all the mechas that could activate unmanned driving mode.

The number was as high as two hundred and twenty, a truly terrifying achievement, successfully recovering huge losses for America.

Awoo~~~~~~

After accomplishing all this, Black Fiend let out a resounding wolf howl, and the device on its chest shattered in response.

If it weren't for completing this rescue mission, it wouldn't like having these strange things strapped to its body.

They not only offered no help in increasing combat power but also hindered its movement.

After this, Black Fiend turned directly and returned to the Misty Forest once more.

This time, the mission Ismail entrusted to it was not just to rescue mechas.

Exploring this mysterious Misty Forest was also its objective.

Following the scent, Black Fiend quickly arrived in front of unit 001 mecha piloted by Frank.

Even among the immobile mechas, the massive unit 001 mecha was exceptionally conspicuous.

However, at this moment, the condition of this massive mecha was not good.

Not only had it completely lost mobility, but it was also sinking little by little.

As if some terrifying entity beneath the ground was constantly devouring it.

With a twitch of its nose, Black Fiend quickly caught some unusual scents.

These scents came from underground.

Which meant that the reasons for the Misty Forest becoming so terrifying were all underground.

Without hesitation, Black Fiend opened its large mouth again.

It prepared to bite the body of unit 001 mecha and drag it out of the soil.

Although it disliked doing such human-saving work.

But Black Fiend, controlled by Ismail, had already placed saving people as its top priority.

Naturally, it chose to rescue unit 001 mecha at the first opportunity.
