Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1929 Thousand Beast King

As the lumberjacks retreated, the soldiers in the trenches began to raise their weapons and aim at the beasts in the distance.

Most people still use semi-automatic rifles. After all, they are not yet able to mass-produce explosives, so machine guns are relatively more aggressive.

Because the explosives themselves are limited, they need to import scorched potatoes. So they are all used in rifles, which is relatively cautious. As for machine guns, they never considered using explosives as fuel from the beginning, but directly used internal combustion machine guns, which used the principle similar to that of internal combustion engines. Atomized gas was sprayed into the combustion chamber, allowing the gas and air in the burner chamber to mix evenly. The explosion generated huge thrust while pushing the bullet in the barrel.

As long as the frequency of the explosion is controlled, bullets can be fired at extremely high speeds. The machine guns manufactured in this way do not consume roasted potatoes, and the cost of fuel consumption is very low. Even if there is no way to import fuel, substitutes can be found, such as alcohol.

At this time, wine can still be brewed normally, and wine can also be burned. High-concentration alcohol can replace fuel to drive a series of machinery. But the cost will be much higher. Once these raw materials cannot be imported and sanctions are imposed, the entire industrial system will suffer a huge blow.

Therefore, Lan Nuo's priority now is to obtain a Jiao Lei Bean Mother Gu and more Fuel Oil Gu. At present, they already have several rank 2 Fuel Oil Gu, so the gap in fuel oil is not particularly large, but Jiao Lei Bean Mother Gu is a rank 3 Gu, and because it is very suitable for making traps, the price is quite high, with a market price of more than 100,000 stones, and it is not so easy to obtain. This kind of thing is enough to be listed on the auction floor of a large family.

In fact, the need to purchase this poisonous insect is one of the reasons for their hunting this time. They hunt a large amount of wild beast materials in exchange for Yuanshi to buy the corresponding poisonous insect, so that they can have no worries during the development of the industrial system.

The roaring fuel machine gun became the most eye-catching landmark on the battlefield. The metal storm swept across the earth, almost tearing everything in sight apart.

The beasts had never thought that humans could create weapons with such a long attack range. Before becoming immortals, the attack range of cultivators was very limited. Most attacks would not exceed a thousand meters, and most attacks were limited to a range of tens of meters. Only after becoming immortals would the attack range suddenly increase.

These beasts, who were generally only at the first and second level, had never seen such a large-scale long-range attack. Not only was the range extremely long, but the firepower density was terrifyingly high. Before they rushed to the front of the trench, the beasts had already fallen to the ground in a large group. The Beast King roared and tried to use the poisonous insects on his body, but his attack range was simply not enough. The flames spewed from his mouth were not even enough to make the soldiers in the trench feel the heat. When he used the poisonous insects on his body, he became an extremely eye-catching presence on the battlefield, and the dense firepower instantly killed him.

For a while, this wave of attacks was ineffective, leaving corpses all over the ground. Soon, someone came forward to check the corpses. A total of 4 beast king corpses were left, and one of them had a second-level Gu worm on its body, which was considered very lucky.

He had a rank 2 fire-breathing Gu on him, which was not particularly rare, but it was at the rank 2 level. The price was at least 500 Yuanshi, which was the biggest gain in this round of battle.

After cleaning up the battlefield and taking away the precious materials from the beasts, the fresh meat that was not convenient to transport over long distances was quickly sent to the canteen. Some of it was made into frozen food, and the other part was used as meals for the next few days.

Some soldiers in the trenches replaced their guns with chain saws and continued to cut down trees. The edge of the jungle was moving inwards little by little, which meant that humans would have more living space and that the frequency of wild animals harassing the edge of the village would be greatly reduced.

One by one, logs were simply processed and then loaded onto trucks. They were delivered to hundreds of households along the gravel road, and the other party accepted all of them. Although a truckload of wood could only be exchanged for two or three Yuanshi, it was a long-lasting profit.

The forest was constantly destroyed, and the position was pushed forward little by little, always staying near the forestry team.

To ensure that they can retreat as soon as possible when encountering wild beasts. Lan Nuo did not work on the field himself, not because he was separated from the masses, but because he wanted to prevent the sudden attack of stronger wild beasts. Therefore, he always sat in the hot air balloon at high altitude, wearing a full set of mechas, ready to drop from the sky and join the battle at any time.

During the week of felling, the Corps encountered more than ten wild animal riots, and paid a heavy price of three deaths and forty injuries.

But it is impossible for humans to conquer nature without a price. With their current productivity and technological level, it is a miracle that they can achieve the current level. For ordinary people living in dire straits, this level of casualties is completely within their tolerance range. Lan Nuo and the people around him learned about it in detail. Every year during the beast tide, only a small half of the people are allowed to retreat to Baijia Village. The others either hide in caves in the mountains or migrate long distances to avoid the beast tide. Whether they can survive depends on luck. Every time they encounter such a beast tide, a group of elderly people will die. Among the young people, three or five out of a hundred will die. This does not take into account the situation of encountering the magic Gu Master.

Lan Nuo was helpless about the world in front of him. Even the venerables of all generations could not change the order of the whole world. Even the most kindhearted Paradise Immortal Venerable only artificially created a few small paradises. For the entire Five Realms and Nine Heavens, the change was negligible. It was almost impossible for Lan Nuo to change the world with his current ability.

Hunting and logging are still going on. The trading during this period has also accumulated a lot of wealth. The liquid funds that Lan Nuo can mobilize have exceeded 50,000 stones. For a family like the Bai family, which has only a fourth-level strongman at the highest, it is already a considerable fortune. Lan Nuo also noticed that the Bai family has begun to test him. Bai Shiqian has been coming to the logging and hunting sites to observe recently, and from time to time he will bring people from the Bai family to visit the trenches.

This was obviously not a good sign. These people were trying to find out about Lan Nuo's background and looking for the weaknesses of the weapons he made. Once they found the weaknesses, if there was a conflict between the two sides in the future, they would naturally be able to easily target these weaknesses and eliminate this seemingly powerful army.

The Jiao Lei Bean Mother Gu must be obtained as soon as possible. If it is not obtained in time, once the war between the two sides breaks out, Lan Nuo will be in a very passive position.

The biggest reason why the Baijia have not taken action yet is actually contempt. Although Lan Nuo has formed an army, they don't think the threat is great. It is true that these soldiers have great strengths. The use of weapons makes their range extremely high. But this can only deal with wild beasts. Because the shortcomings of these soldiers are too obvious. They are very fragile and lack reconnaissance capabilities. Once they are attacked, it will be a massacre. And if they use Gu worms, their abilities are all kinds of strange. Many of them even have the ability to be invisible. They can quietly go behind them and jump into the trenches to fight. As long as there is no decisive strong among this group of people, they are essentially no different from the villagers in other villages. It's just a fat pig waiting to be killed. It's still in the process of raising pigs. The parents of the Baijia think that the pig is not fat enough, so they are not in a hurry to take action.

Although Lan Nuo did not have any spies in the family, he actually guessed the thoughts of this group of people very clearly, so he also knew that he could not show weakness all the time, but also needed to show strong enough strength, so that the Baijia could restrain their ambitions as much as possible.

This hunt was indeed an opportunity to show strength. The earth began to shake again. Lan Nuo used a telescope to observe the distance. The number of beasts attacking this time was much greater than the previous times.

Judging from the number, it is probably not the Hundred Beast Kings who are leading the team this time, but there are Thousand Beast Kings mixed in. Once there are Thousand Beast Kings in the team, the strength will be completely upgraded to a higher level.

The scouts on the hot air balloon also noticed this and immediately sounded the alarm and requested support from the rear.

Observers from the Baijia sect saw the roofs of several steel chariots that had been parked on both sides of the battlefield opened, and several soldiers in different uniforms quickly got in, and then closed the lids tightly, leaving no gaps.

As these people performed certain operations inside, these tanks with thick tracks and large turrets roared suddenly and drove towards the battlefield as ferociously as giant beasts.

At the same time, the situation on the battlefield became clear as the beasts rushed out of the forest.

A proud wolf king, with lightning all over his body, stood at the edge of the forest and commanded his beast kings to lead the beasts to charge towards the battlefield. The terrifying number of beasts made the observers of the hundred families scalp numb. They almost ran away with their legs trembling. He was just an observer, and his own strength was only at the level of the second turn. Facing beasts of this scale, it was simply a dead end. Among the troops present, there was not even one who reached the level of the second turn, and even their leader was only in the middle stage of the first turn. And he was a C-level qualification.

However, it was too late to escape now. He could only choose to hide behind the soldiers and watch the fierce battle in front of him.

The beast king and ordinary beasts rushed up like a surging tide, but the dense firepower still made it difficult for them to get close.

At the same time, four tracked vehicles also rushed onto the battlefield. Behind the trenches appeared some soldiers who seemed to be using different weapons. They used a tube that was tilted upwards and put some things like shells into the tube. Then, with the sound of an explosion, the shells would erupt from the tube along a parabolic trajectory and fall into the distance.

These were simple mortars, aimed at the most densely populated areas of the beast herd, and exploded immediately after landing, causing the beast herd to be in disorder for a while, which made the machine guns more efficient in harvesting. At the same time, the tracked vehicles in the front row covered the soldiers in the trenches, attracting the enemy's firepower. The heavy steel protected the soldiers in the vehicles, making them immune to most attacks, and the thick barrels gave them the attack power to kill the beast king in one shot. As a result, these four steel monsters were rampaging under the firepower cover from the rear, and no one could resist them.

The giant wolf that had been sitting in the back finally lost its previous composure and let out an angry roar towards the sky. The parasitic poison on its body was driven away by him, and then he opened his mouth and spurted out a bolt of lightning, which hit a tracked vehicle directly. If it was a live ammunition attack, the vehicle could still rely on the armor for protection. The inclined armor had an extremely good defensive effect against most frontal attacks.

But the thunderbolt was not a physical attack. Even though the interior of the chariot was insulated, it was far from being able to withstand the attack of the Thousand Beast King. The chariot that was hit immediately emitted black smoke and stopped in place. Although the armor was not broken, it was completely paralyzed. The life or death of the driver inside was unknown.

Lan Nuo saw the Beast King below taking action, and he should have given an order. The hot air balloon in the sky began to move, rising to a height of hundreds of meters. At this position, even the Beast King's thunderbolt could hardly hit it, and they dropped a large number of bombs in the air towards the Beast King's position like the Kirov airship. The bombs falling from the sky immediately formed a bombing area.

Now the Thousand Beast King, who had been sitting calmly in the rear, had to move continuously to avoid the bombing, and could no longer spare the time to attack the raging chariot.

Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy losses, the Thousand Beast King had his own brain. Although his intelligence was much worse than that of humans, he thought that if this indiscriminate bombing landed in the human camp, it would inevitably cause a large number of casualties to them. So he actually kept moving at a high speed and rushed towards the direction of the trench.

Most of the bullets that hit him were inexplicably blocked by a layer of white jade-like protection. The bullets would bounce off inexplicably after they touched him. Only direct fire from mortars and tanks posed a certain threat to him. But the agile wolf king was often able to avoid the trajectory of the shooting.

They were about to break through the blockade and rush into the trench. In the hot air balloon in the sky, Lan Nuo finally stood up and came to the guardrail of the hot air balloon. Then, amid everyone's exclamations, he jumped down from the guardrail, accelerating from the sky and falling towards the location of the Thousand Beast King.
