126: Chapter 126 Space

Yellowstone Volcano.

A massive number of troops gathered.

The Joint Forces began issuing orders.

Combat troops, weaponry and equipment, logistics, equipment and Materials that might be needed to cool down the volcano, and so on.

A series of intensive arrangements were made, extremely meticulous.

This battle would be different from the others.

A single mistake could trigger a catastrophic scenario.

Although this was not hoped for, there was always a slight chance, and the Joint Forces had prepared for the worst before appearing.

The danger of this operation and the potential disaster that could erupt would be the highest in history.

After all, if the Yellowstone Volcano were to erupt, it was feared the entire Blue Star would enter an ice age.

However.

Even with such danger, even with such potentially massive consequences.

Not a single country raised an objection.

Or tried to stop this hunt.

Although the flesh and blood of the giant beast were extremely attractive, what truly drove them to unite was the sense of mission of the only highly intelligent species on Blue Star.

Blue Star could be said to be vast, yet it could also be said to be small.

Vast enough to contain billions upon billions of cubic units of seawater, yet small enough that it could not tolerate the birth of a second highly intelligent species.

This was instinct.

An instinct engraved in billions of years of genes.

"How is the preparation going!?"

The commander from the Huaxia side asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Fang Rui, everything is ready, awaiting your orders and those of the other commanders!"

A projection appeared, and a soldier answered loudly.

The dawn of the Martial Artist era did not just allow people to gather great power within themselves; it also greatly enhanced people's ability to learn.

Nowadays, people could learn a language in three to five days.

Fang Rui raised his head and looked around at the commanders from various countries in the command hall.

Wherever his gaze landed, they nodded one by one.

Withdrawing his gaze, Fang Rui said in a deep voice: "Operation start! Codename 'Extinguish Fire'!"

"Yes!"

The soldier answered loudly.

After saluting, he immediately began issuing combat orders.

Strange machines began to be transported.

The destination for transport was actually the Peaks surrounding the volcano.

Soon, after the strange large-scale equipment was installed on the tops of the three Peaks, a harsh humming sound rang out.

In just a moment, the humming pitch rose sharply, and then it became inaudible.

The greatest sound is silent.

A strange ripple appeared out of thin air, like a transparent wave of water, starting from the three pieces of equipment.

The ripple appeared quickly and dissipated just as quickly.

Before anyone could notice anything, it suddenly vanished.

"Report! Equipment No. 1 is operating normally!"

"Report! Equipment No. 2 is operating normally!"

"...Equipment No. 3 is operating normally!"

Reports from the three locations immediately converged in the command hall.

This made the people in the command hall breathe a sigh of relief.

As cutting-edge technology, this was the first time these devices were being applied on a large scale.

"Let the combat personnel enter!"

Fang Rui issued further orders.

Teams of soldiers set out carrying large amounts of munitions, closely followed by tanks and armed helicopters!

It was just a pity that fighter jets could not be deployed!

Watching this scene, Fang Rui could not help but feel regret.

The combat troops continued to advance, and when the first soldier reached a critical point covered by the three strange devices, an unexpected scene occurred.

The transparent air suddenly emitted ripples, like a layer of water.

The soldier hesitated slightly, but the instructions transmitted through his earpiece quickly restored his calm, and he stepped inside.

In an instant.

A wave of dizziness washed over him.

It felt like a magnetic field disturbance during an earthquake, causing one's sense of direction to become disoriented.

The soldier stumbled, forcibly suppressing his discomfort, and suddenly raised the long gun in his hand to defend.

But having just raised the long gun, the next moment he blankly lowered it.

Looking around, there was not a single enemy, not a trace of danger.

But what terrified him slightly was the space before him.

A very, very large space.

The soldier had a very strong sense of distance; he was certain that just a moment ago, those three Peaks were only about a thousand meters away from him.

But at this moment.

The soldier could not help but rub his eyes.

Looking at the Peaks in the distance that were several times smaller, he instinctively gripped the gun handle tightly.

Those Peaks looked like they were definitely several thousand meters away.

The space formed by the three Peaks had suddenly become dozens of times larger.

The soldier's shock did not last long.

The subsequent soldiers also filed in, and the tanks and helicopters entered as well.

If it were normal space, so many people and weapons crowded together would likely be very cramped and congested.

But at this moment.

This space was more than enough to accommodate them.

It would probably be no problem even if another ten-thousand-man troop entered.

"Operation start!"

Clear instructions were transmitted.

In an instant, everyone stood ready, and according to the orders, they all found their respective positions.

Outside.

Several kilometers away.

Something resembling an electric drill was being installed.

As the combat orders were issued.

Two soldiers a thousand meters away directly pressed the start button.

The machine immediately extended a thick pillar, plunging it directly into the ground.

The next moment.

High-frequency vibration.

In a deep pit not far away.

The pitch-black pit was as deep as a bottomless abyss.

At its very bottom, it emitted a dazzling red light.

Golden-red colors appeared from time to time.

This was the underground magma.

And on the side of this magma was a huge platform.

It had a diameter of several hundred meters.

The searing heat baked the entire space.

All the stone walls had turned pitch black, covered in scorch marks.

This high-temperature environment was enough to dehydrate any life form.

Even a First-Class Martial Artist would likely not be able to stay for ten minutes.

However.

In such an extreme environment.

A behemoth was crouching on the platform, dozing off.

Crimson plumage, multiple complex tail feathers, noble and gorgeous feathers.

An indescribable beauty flowed from this giant beast.

An aura of arrogance was fully revealed.

As the giant beast dozed, the high heat emitted by the volcanic lava was being rapidly absorbed by it.

However.

Just at this moment.

A sudden high-frequency vibration struck.

The high frequency, far exceeding the human auditory System, seemed more targeted at the giant beast.

In an instant, the giant beast abruptly opened its eyes.

Intense pain swept through its mind.

Chirp!

A roar.

Its noble figure suddenly leaped up, rushing straight into the sky along the huge pit.

That was anger.

Its territory had been intruded upon, and it had been blatantly provoked.

The giant beast was instantly filled with rage.

...

Boom!

A shadow that blotted out the sky rose from bottom to top.

In an instant, it blew a hurricane out of the black hole with a diameter of several hundred meters.

The instruments on the ground, like earth drills, were instantly smashed to pieces by the hurricane.

The two soldiers in the distance looked in terror at the giant beast soaring into the sky.

Its gorgeous figure almost made them lose their focus.

Forcibly swallowing, the two men threw away their weapons, instantly unleashed their Internal Energy, and ran wildly into the distance.

Both were known for their movement techniques and were specially selected to execute this luring mission.

Chirp!

The Vermilion Bird's phoenix eyes flashed with anger.

It was instantly attracted by the two little things on the ground.

The moment it saw those two little things, it was stunned.

Various distinct auras lingered on the two of them.

Those auras felt somewhat familiar, and somewhat similar to its own.

They were all the auras of a king.

It clearly felt that the auras enveloping the two emitted a kind of invisible fluctuation.

Wailing!

Shrieking!

Roaring!

Unwillingness!

Each aura reflected a different essence.

Suddenly.

The Vermilion Bird's heart boiled with rage.

The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly increased dramatically.

Chirp!

A piercing cry that could split rocks and pierce metal rang through heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

A gale howled.

Wings that blotted out the sky spread, flapping as it soared.

Carrying boundless rage, the Vermilion Bird swooped down.

Flowing fire instantly emerged, dyeing half the sky red!

"Target in position, target in position!"

The running soldiers roared wildly, and the overwhelming pressure from behind made their scalps tingle.

Endless fear enveloped their bodies and minds.

If they were not soldiers with iron-like wills, coupled with their previous feat of slaughtering giant beasts, they would likely have collapsed under this pressure.

The two Second-rate Peak soldiers had exceptional movement techniques.

At this moment, they were pushing their speed to the limit as if their lives depended on it.

In an instant, they crossed thousands of meters, diving headfirst into the water-like space.

Boom!!!

A gale howled.

A huge figure came from heaven and earth, blotting out the sky.

Charging straight toward the place where the two had disappeared.

The rage was endless and ceaseless.
