98: Kill a level 6 Broken Claw Eagle

Lu Yang ignored the Azure Python's actions.

Zhao Silver Snake had to endure the onslaught of the Claw-Ripping Wind Blades Storm himself.

As for the rest, it was all Lu Yang's job.

The Iron Curtain Machine Cannon was the first to let out a roar.

This first product deciphered by the Reverse Technology Research Center possessed extremely superior anti-air capabilities.

Its Level 5 characteristic was 'Armor Penetration', allowing it to more easily break through the armor defense of armored targets and deal massive damage.

Unlike the Repeating Ballista, which would only cause superficial scratches even after several hits, such a scenario was impossible for the Iron Curtain Machine Cannon.

Under Xiao Xin's control, the first burst of three machine cannon rounds immediately yielded results, creating a triangular tearing and penetrating wound that almost made the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle tremble in pain.

It endured it, however.

The Small Electromagnetic Railgun and the PLZ Vehicle-Mounted Self-Propelled Howitzer were poised and ready, as striking airborne mobile targets was not their strong suit.

But Lu Yang was not in a hurry.

Because as the Claw-Ripping Wind Blades Storm approached and raged, the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle had already locked onto the Azure Python and was rapidly closing in.

In this situation, the Small Electromagnetic Railgun couldn't exert much force, but the PLZ Vehicle-Mounted Self-Propelled Howitzer could still predict the attack trajectory.

Two shells were fired preemptively, exploding precisely about one hundred and fifty meters from the Azure Python.

The massive shockwave met the hundreds of thousands of incoming greenish-gray Claw-Ripping Wind Blades Storm.

Although it was torn to shreds and had almost no effect.

It stirred up a sky full of dust on the battlefield, providing an opportunity for the Bee Sting Launchers to fish in troubled waters.

They were enveloped by the sandstorm, with an attack range within three hundred meters of the Azure Python.

Dense, black-green poisoned steel needles were unleashed almost instantly.

Most of them hit the huge figure obscured by the sandstorm.

Immediately following were two extremely shrill cries.

One was very familiar to Lu Yang; it was the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle.

The other, as expected, came from the Azure Python.

Because Lu Yang had already seen the Azure Python, lifted into the air by the talons of the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle.

Its lower body was bloody from being cut by the Claw-Ripping Wind Blades Storm, and its upper body, near its vital point, had a vertical cut wound over ten meters long extending from its head.

Its eyes, which had originally gleamed with a human-like intelligence, were now dull and lifeless.

The Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle was not much better off, covered in black-green poisoned steel needles, with large black spots appearing on its skin.

Black blood flowed faintly from the wounds previously inflicted by the machine cannon rounds.

The talons gripping the Azure Python's corpse trembled uncontrollably.

Its flapping wings were slower than those of a dying old man, seemingly about to give out at any second.

Lu Yang always believed in striking an enemy when he was down.

Seeing the Claw-Ripping Eagle in such poor condition.

The Repeating Ballista and Iron Curtain Machine Cannon fired ceaselessly as if ammunition were free.

The Kuangfeng I Light Machine Gun also rattled away continuously.

In just over ten seconds, the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle's two wings were shot into tattered rags.

No longer able to flap and fly, it plummeted straight down onto the shallow grassland near the Toxic Water Swamp.

This place, which should have been the Azure Python's burial ground, now became the Claw-Ripping Eagle's impending tomb.

Facing the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle, which had become a living target, Lu Yang did not let his guard down, but continued to fire precise shots with the Iron Curtain Machine Cannon.

The 25mm machine cannon rounds hammered into the Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle's head one by one, like nails.

Only after it was torn into an unrecognizable mush of flesh did Lu Yang, having completed his mission, stop the Iron Curtain Machine Cannon, which was still emitting white smoke from its muzzle.

Then, he shouted into a dynamic speaker towards the crown of a cypress tree nearby: “Hey, brother on the Azure Python over there, you can come down now.”

Hearing Lu Yang's words, a small Azure Python, almost identical to the original Azure Python, swam down from the treetop.

Inside, a man with delicate features was faintly visible.

After swimming down the tree, like a giant python regurgitating its food, the delicate man was spat out from the mouth of the small Azure Python.

Then, with lingering fear, he took a few deep breaths: “Oh my god, I was suffocating.”

“This Golden Snake Shedding Skin really shouldn't be used lightly. If I had stayed in there any longer, I would have been dead myself before the Claw-Ripping Eagle could attack again.”

Of course, these were polite words Zhao Silver Snake intentionally said for Lu Yang's benefit. In reality, he could have stayed inside the small Azure Python for another day without issue. As a last resort for survival, Golden Snake Shedding Skin was not that weak.

It was just that after using it this time, Zhao Silver Snake wouldn't be able to use it a second time before advancing to a Level 5 biological train.

And everything would have to start from scratch.

It was truly a return to square one.

“Thank you, Train Captain of the Xinhuo Train, for your righteousness and life-saving grace. Your junior, Zhao Silver Snake, thanks you, great one!!!”

Lu Yang did not get out of the train, but communicated with Zhao Silver Snake via the dynamic speaker.

“I'm not a great one; you can just call me Lu Yang.”

Hearing this, Zhao Silver Snake's face showed flattery: “Brother Yang, what are you kidding? If you can't be called a great one, then no one in this area of Yunling Grassland dares to call themselves one. You just hunted the sky overlord of Yunling Grassland, a Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle. If it weren't for you today, I would definitely be dead.”

Saying this, Zhao Silver Snake pulled out an orange quality blueprint from his Pregnant.

“Great one, this is the orange quality mechanical train-specific blueprint I mentioned before. As for the Level 4 Iron Ore Collection Point, because the biological radar on my train is broken, I can't describe it, but I remember the location, and it's only about a hundred kilometers from here.”

“Do you need me to take you there now?!”

Zhao Silver Snake asked somewhat fearfully.

In reality, although that Level 4 Iron Ore Collection Point was not far, many Level 4 Withered Vine Frogs lived around it.

Zhao Silver Snake didn't care before.

But now, having narrowly escaped death, he was even weaker than a Level 2 weakling.

If he were to lead the way, he felt it would be even more dangerous than encountering the Claw-Ripping Eagle before.

But he had to show this attitude.

Otherwise, if the great one on the other side misunderstood that he wanted to renege on his debt.

With the firepower the other party just displayed, one machine cannon round could send him to his complete demise.

And there would be nowhere to hide.

The detection radar on a mechanical train was incomparable to that of a biological train.

The only thing that puzzled Zhao Silver Snake was why Lu Yang's Xinhuo Train was not as cumbersome as other mechanical trains.

Cumbersomeness was the biggest drawback of all ordinary mechanical trains.

Mechanical trains required population for mining, and to carry more people, sometimes their bodies could have dozens or even hundreds of sections.

Often over a thousand meters long.

But their reaction speed to danger was not as flexible as biological trains.

Limited firepower made it difficult to cover all carriages.

When danger struck, the front would pass, but the back would still be dragging far behind.

So they rarely went to Yunling Grassland.

They feared encountering an overlord mutated beast like the Claw-Ripping Eagle the most.

If it targeted them, every encounter would inevitably result in heavy losses.

Therefore, facing the Xinhuo Train, which could single-handedly kill a Level 6 Claw-Ripping Eagle, Zhao Silver Snake felt genuine admiration and fear.

Especially now that he was so weak.

If he could seize this opportunity to cling to this powerful figure, rising again would not be a dream.

He might even be able to advance further.

After all, mechanical trains, apart from resources, were not very interested in the flesh and blood of mutated beasts.

As long as he could follow the other party and get a few big catches to eat, the risk would be worth it.
