Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 241 Rout
The giant eagle maintained its own territory and even continued to shrink it, concentrating its attacks on where Yuanze was.

It felt the effect of the medicine gradually faded, and the side effects gradually appeared. It felt very tired and couldn't even support its body.

There was a huge rock in front of it, it was leaning against it, breathing heavily, still staring at the last lightning strike in the area.

The thundercloud began to become riddled with holes, and countless rays of sunlight shone through the gaps. Then, the cloud seemed to be slowly pushed aside by a pair of hands, and the darkness continued to dissipate towards both ends.

Gradually, the strong wind subsided, taking away the gray color of the sky burned by thunder and lightning, and the tyrannical atmosphere also disappeared with the faint crackling sound of the remaining lightning.

The giant eagle's territory shrank as it became tired, and the sense of oppression that once enveloped everything also weakened. It leaned against a boulder, with only the sound of its breathing and heartbeat echoing alternately.

The light in the giant eagle's eyes dimmed a little, and there was a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal. The domain disappeared, and only the brief silence and the embers left by the battle remained in the air.

There was no sign of Yuan Ze.

The giant eagle turned around and slowly dragged its body away from here, sighing and feeling lucky that it had saved its life:
"It's finally over. What a crappy genius, he's just this good."

“It’s really just like that!”

The familiar voice exploded in the giant eagle's ears, and it didn't even dare to look back at this moment.

Its heartbeat accelerated again, but its whole body did not react more quickly. Instead, it stood there, at a loss.

A pair of hands were placed on the shoulders, and it looked slowly and diagonally behind the hands.

That face was illuminated by the setting sun, and that handsome smiling face was like the most terrifying nightmare he had ever seen.

Before it could open its mouth to say anything, Yuanze slapped it back into the stone next to it.

Yuanze also saw it trying to struggle out, but it seemed to have no strength in its body. It could only hold on to the edge of the pit with its two hands, trying to climb out.

When the hands turned back into wings, he came to the giant eagle, squatted at the edge of the pit and looked at it.

It felt that the enemy's gaze was no longer filled with hatred, but with pity, as if he was pitying it. It flapped its wings, unwilling to accept such a gaze, which was a great humiliation to itself.

"Have you ever thought about it?" Yuanze retracted his gaze, turned his back to it, and asked.

"What have you been thinking about?"

"Do you know why you died?"

It looked like it didn't even have the ability to open its mouth and speak. It could only move its mouth up and down, but no sound could be heard.

"You just overestimate yourself. You always think you are smart and want to dig a hole for others to jump into. I also have that potion of yours, what do you think?"

Yuanze took out the small bottle given to him by the King of Source Beasts, with instructions for use marked in animal language on the bottle.

The dosage to be used is clearly written above. Only one-fifth can be used in a battle, otherwise the control of the source power will be greatly weakened and the expected effect will not be achieved.

Judging from the remaining amount and the liquid hanging on the wall, Yuanze must have taken this potion, which accelerated the evolution of his skin.

He squatted down to avoid his sight and to conceal the fact that his skin had basically completed its evolution.

This nano-scale skin suit not only fits the entire body, but can also be transformed into any form you want.

Just now, he made it with a multi-layer structure, and the outer layer was made of a super-insulating material. Any electric current that came into contact with it would be isolated instantly.

Hidden within the middle layer of the skin are millions of tiny air sacs that absorb and disperse high-voltage electrical currents from the outside world.

The basal layer deep in the skin is made of a tough material called biological collagen fibers, which provides super toughness.

It imitates the ability of some source beasts to spontaneously generate weak electric fields, and guides external currents into conductive pathways woven from tiny carbon nanotubes.

The current is directed to areas away from vital organs and ultimately discharged through the tail or limbs.

The damaged part can quickly repair itself, cell division is accelerated, and the damaged area is re-covered almost instantly. "You...you..." The giant eagle was a little stunned. This bottle was very familiar to it.

"You want to ask me why I have this, right? Your king gave it to me. And you really thought no one knew about your scheme to frame Tiger Soul? Ruiming told me about it."

The giant eagle's pupils shrank, and it used all its strength to raise one wing and pointed at the person in front of it. The fragments in its mind quickly came together, and it finally understood who the person in front of it was.

But at this moment, the light in its eyes dimmed, and its pupils dilated weakly, like a drowning person about to lose the last bit of oxygen in the deep sea.

"Rest in peace." Yuanze comforted it with a blessing.

Its eyes, which were open in death, seemed to be hung with a thousand-pound weight and closed little by little.

"I don't know if the King of Source Beasts punishing it in this way is against its own will."

The sky is stained with ink, so it's not a good time to think too much.

He shook his head, disguised himself as Jamukha again, cut off the huge head, and prepared to go back.

Outside the mechanical city, the battlefield is like a painting full of tension.

The evening sky was dyed red by the aftermath of the explosion, as if the sun had just set.

A swarm of drones circled in the air, and lasers intertwined in the sky, cutting through the night sky and illuminating the ferocious source beasts.

Fires bloomed in the night, and the splattering blood was like short-lived flowers of death.

Each explosion sent fragments of debris flying everywhere.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone in the center of the battlefield, revealing Yuanze's figure.

He held the head of the giant eagle leading the beast tide in his hand and showed it to the source beasts and source warriors participating in the fight.

The high-level source beasts among the source beasts couldn't believe it. Wasn't it too fast? Logically speaking, this kind of battle should last longer.

"The leader is dead, Source Warrior, follow me and charge."

Following Yuan Ze's shout, the morale of all the Yuan warriors rose and they all released their strength.

Their armor gleamed coldly in the firelight, and the weapons in their hands emitted a deadly glow.

The laser sword cut through the air, taking the life of a source beast with every swing. The energy cannon left deep marks on the ground, blasting the bodies of source beasts to pieces.

The originally evenly matched battle turned into a massacre.

The source beasts fled in all directions, but the source warriors chased them relentlessly and drove them all out of the jurisdiction of the Mechanical City.

It was not until Yuanze ordered everyone to stop the pursuit that everyone stopped the action reluctantly.

He ordered several teams of Source Warriors to continue investigating nearby, and then he took the others and left.

After returning to the office, the above phone number soon appeared on the communicator:
"This time we did a good job, which boosted the morale of the troops."

"It should."

Yuanze hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. If he had known earlier, he should have pretended to be seriously injured and dying. That way, they would not have called him to go to B01.

"Did they see any problem?"

"The electromagnetic fields in the area were so strong at that time that it was impossible for any equipment to record them," Astra added.

"But it's not a long-term solution for me to pretend to be the Lord of Jamukha. I need to find a chance to escape."
