In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#58 - Blade Beast Attack! (Thanks to 'sfqk' for the great support)

"Go."

Ling Tong grabbed Wang Ji Xuan's arm and leaped forward without explanation. The fixed-wing attachment on her back ejected a stream of air, carrying him directly towards the front of the supply station.

Whoosh—

The entire camp sounded the alarm!

"Bladebeast?"

Wang Daochang's voice held a hint of excited beauty amidst its calmness.

"Yeah," Ling Tong responded, dragging him into the supply station.

Three professional mechanics were already at their stations.

Wan Xiaoqi sat in front of a row of screens, her small hands rapidly tapping two rows of buttons, already connected to the mine's internal monitoring network, pinpointing the area under Bladebeast attack.

Uncle Tai, wearing an exoskeleton armor, effortlessly placed two black alloy boxes flat, beginning the final inspection before using the equipment.

Sister Wan walked straight over, and after Ling Tong lay on the operating table in the center of the workshop, she took a long, narrow machine and connected it to the mechanical arm on her shoulder.

It only took about twenty seconds.

Sister Wan: "Mechanical arm normal! Energy pathway normal!"

Uncle Tai: "Enable Configuration No. 3 for narrow terrain! Configuration normal!"

Wan Xiaoqi shouted: "Bladebeast attack area is in the rest area in the middle of Mine No. 6! There are at least thirty Bladebeasts, including drill-type ones that specialize in digging! Most energy reactions are basic! Determined to be a small wandering group! The message has been synchronized with the war zone… War zone orders have been issued! Permission to attack, no pursuit! Permission for fire bombing! Protect the main body of Fortress 76! Support will arrive in half an hour!"

"Understood."

Ling Tong took a deep breath, and the moment she opened her eyes, the mechanical arm flashed blue.

Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense kept jumping. He could feel the powerful force emanating from Ling Tong.

She activated the Bladebeast combat mode!

Both alloy boxes emitted engine sounds simultaneously, and then 'armor disassembly modules' flew out, covering Ling Tong's arms, chest, back, waist, hips, slender legs, and feet with white armor!

Sister Wan held a helmet matching the armor and carefully put it on Ling Tong.

Combat Princess - Blade Cleaver Form!

Wan Xiaoqi pressed a button, opening the rolling door on the left side of the supply station. Ling Tong struck a running pose.

"That…"

Wang Ji Xuan volunteered: "Can I come with you?"

"No need," Ling Tong's voice came from behind the helmet, "You are my support team. Protecting you is my responsibility."

Wang Ji Xuan nodded immediately, without further argument.

Ling Tong looked ahead, butterfly-shaped flames appearing behind her. In two strides, she covered several meters, her body flying close to the ground!

Outside, a noisy cheer could be heard.

"Combat Princess!"

"Major Ling Tong is going into action! Those Bladebeasts are going to die!"

"Quick! Send out reconnaissance drones! We can't rely solely on Major Ling Tong!"

Wang Ji Xuan stood there, slightly dazed.

Uncle Tai stepped forward and patted Wang Ji Xuan's shoulder, laughing: "Cool, right? Behind every successful man, there is a…"

"There is a spine!"

Sister Wan interjected, quickly saying:

"Xiao Wang, come with me to put on the power armor!"

"We don't have enough manpower. Later, if Ling Tong needs equipment support in places the mechanical dogs can't reach, we three have to deliver it!"

"Okay," Wang Ji Xuan nodded immediately, "I can go! I guarantee I can complete the mission!"

Wan Xiaoqi shouted: "The boss has entered the mine, estimated to reach the Bladebeast activity area in one minute!"

Sister Wan, while showing Wang Ji Xuan how to wear the power armor in the corner, didn't forget to shout:

"Wan Xiaoqi! Mark all the Bladebeast's movement trajectories to prevent our Combat Princess from being surrounded by the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Wang Ji Xuan naturally realized that Sister Wan, who was usually gentle and cooked for everyone, was actually the commander of this supply station.

After Wang Daochang put on the exoskeleton power armor, he quickly adapted to how to operate it.

He felt very uncomfortable.

It was like putting his lower body into a simple armor made of a dozen metal tubes, with a high-elasticity structure under his feet and a flexible battery of the power armor attached to his buttocks.

Although exoskeleton power armor was a 'divine weapon' for ordinary people, it came with lighting, reduced weight, increased running speed, and could carry more powerful weapons and shields.

However, ordinary power armor had limitations on the maximum step frequency, and the maximum running speed was also set to the upper limit that a soldier's body could withstand.

Wearing them to fight would actually reduce Wang Daochang's strength.

Wang Ji Xuan asked: "Can I not wear it?"

Sister Wan immediately said: "If there is a need later, we will have to carry these dozens of kilograms of boxes over there."

"Okay."

Considering the need to be active in front of people and other matters, Wang Ji Xuan continued to adapt while wearing the power armor.

He took advantage of Sister Hong's inattention and sneaked back to his room, putting on the vest he made.

Talismans, bone-piercing nails, and three crystal cores that hadn't run out of spiritual power were all on his body.

Fearing that the Bladebeasts would sense these three crystal cores, he deliberately stuck on two more demon-suppressing talismans.

'This poor Daoist still has to do as the Romans do.'

He crawled out of the iron door and ran to the front workshop, finding some weapons and equipment in Uncle Tai's storage room.

A large-caliber rifle with a grenade launcher, with a low rate of fire and high damage, said to be able to break the weak armor of basic Bladebeasts in extremely narrow areas.

A small front shield generator for mecha, and corresponding battery accessories.

Two boxes of hand grenades the size of baby fists, with different types such as high explosive, high fragmentation, electromagnetic pulse, and pheromone interference.

"No! Xiao Wang!"

Amidst the buzzing of the engine, Uncle Tai, who had adjusted the two large mechanical dogs, walked over in big strides wearing power armor:

"What are you doing with so many weapons? If we encounter Bladebeasts on the way to support, just close your eyes."

Wang Ji Xuan asked: "In that case, how do we ensure the supply is in place?"

"It's usually saturated support. When someone needs to deliver supplies, at least six people carry the same accessories to support."

Uncle Tai said solemnly:

"This is not the front line. Just a few dozen Bladebeasts, Ling Tong can solve them with her eyes closed."

"The probability of Ling Tong's mechanical arm and equipment malfunctioning is very small. We are only preparing by wearing power armor. The army has already called for support here, and a team of special forces will be here to stand by soon!"

Thoughts flashed rapidly in Wang Ji Xuan's mind.

He desperately wanted to go down.

Bladebeasts, the biggest reason he came here was to be able to contact Bladebeasts, to hunt Bladebeasts, obtain crystal cores, and try to improve his cultivation speed.

Ling Tong was only in the rear for a period of time. She would return to the front line after she recovered;

This period of time was the best and safest opportunity for Wang Daochang;

An opportunity to get crystal cores.

"I want to go down now."

Wang Ji Xuan said seriously:

"It's not to prove myself, or to be momentarily impulsive, but to… support Ling Tong."

"Yes, support Ling Tong."

"Uncle Tai, Sister Wan, you all know that I can relieve the pain on Ling Tong's body. This is because of my ability. My ability is to assist and strengthen. Ling Tong suffered a mental shock from a general-level Bladebeast in the previous battle, causing a strange aura in her brain."

"I can't resolve this aura all at once. I can only give her a massage every day."

"She's actually in more pain than we see."

"What I'm most worried about now is not whether Ling Tong can solve these Bladebeasts. Of course she can solve them. What I'm worried about is that there may be a trap targeting her below."

"The Combat Princess is the core part of the human top combat power that Bladebeasts prioritize eliminating. She is a candidate pilot for the horror mecha."

"So, let me go."

I won't go directly to the battle. I'll carry supplies and wait at the edge of the combat zone. I will do my best to protect myself.

If Ling Tong is in a critical situation before reinforcements arrive, I can provide support nearby. Maybe I can only buy her half a minute, but that half a minute might be a great help..."

This reason convinced Uncle Tai and Sister Wan, and they didn't argue anymore.

Then, Uncle Tai took out his treasured item, which is the bulky, heavy thing that Wang Jixuan is holding now, resembling a black plastic water gun—

A man-portable miniature laser cannon.

This thing is expensive to manufacture and prone to exploding. Only one is equipped per squad on the front lines, and it consumes a lot of energy, so its endurance is not very good.

Compared to large-caliber kinetic energy weapons, it has a significant disadvantage in terms of cost.

The main point is that it can break the defense of basic Blade Beasts!

This thing only has six shots. Generally speaking, if it can kill a Blade Beast, then it has fulfilled its intended value.

Wang Daoshi has now opened its safety mechanism.

While speeding along, two clusters of aura suddenly intruded on the edge of his spiritual sense.

Blade Beasts!

A blurry picture appeared in Wang Jixuan's mind. He stopped, looked at the fork in the tunnel below. Around the left corner, dozens of meters away, two basic Blade Beasts were waving their blade limbs, chasing a speeding car. Their blade limbs were covered in thick blood!

Found them!

The owner of the crystal core!

The most important resource for him to accelerate his cultivation and ensure he can complete Foundation Establishment before he dies of old age!

Wang Daoshi stepped forward again, the power armor making the sound of an engine turning. His figure was accelerating, continuing to rush down. He raised the miniature laser cannon in his hand, his spiritual sense tracing the movement of the Blade Beasts.

Crouching, jumping, Wang Jixuan's body stuck to the top of the mine, falling towards the corner. When he landed, he had already adjusted to a single-kneeled posture, the miniature electromagnetic cannon's scope already in front of his eyes.

Knees slammed into the hard ground!

"Wang Zheng!"

Wan Xiaoqi's loud shout sounded from the power armor's built-in loudspeaker:

"There are Blade Beasts ahead! Don't go there!"

Wang Jixuan pursed his lips slightly, his heart full of surging waves, but his Dao heart was calm. The terrifying figure of the Blade Beast appeared in the scope. He had locked onto the most active area of the opponent's demon soul power and pulled the trigger.
