Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

"Full-power electromagnetic railgun ready."

On the other side, Xiaoxiang, who was hovering above the giant scorpion, took advantage of this opportunity and finally completed the accumulation of energy. He aimed at the giant scorpion's head and fired an electromagnetic cannonball that was powerful enough to penetrate a one-meter steel plate!

"Pfft!"

The bullet was like a blade of light, piercing straight through the giant scorpion's head and causing it to lose balance temporarily.

"Master, now is the time!"

Shen Qinyin's expression in the cockpit froze, and the light energy cannon exploded, breaking the giant scorpion's four left legs with one shot, causing the opponent's body to collapse suddenly.

Then, the ship-slashing sword held high in her right arm let out a sharp scream like metal tearing, and slashed down with the force of splitting mountains and splitting rocks!

Before the giant scorpion could react, the blade had already slashed into its body.

"laugh--!"

The hot blade cut into the flesh, and the giant scorpion's shell was cut open like butter, revealing the boiling purple blood and wriggling muscle fibers inside.

The blood spurting out of the giant scorpion's body stagnated in mid-air, and then poured down like a waterfall, corroding the ground and making a sizzling sound.

"Buzz!"

When the blade fell completely, the giant scorpion's huge body was cut off from the chest to the tail. The two limbs fell heavily to the ground, stirring up dust and a large amount of blood mist a meter high!

Mona, who couldn't wait any longer, left Titan immediately and turned into a thick black cloth, covering the giant scorpion's body.

As the black cloth wrapped around it became smaller and smaller, the giant scorpion was completely swallowed by Mona and turned into a warm crystal of the core of fear.

Shen Qiyin glanced at the damage to the Titan on the holographic screen, sighed slightly, and said to everyone, "This one is very difficult to deal with. It's at least a level three monster."

"Level 3 monsters are appearing more and more frequently now. I'm afraid it won't be long before they become the norm, or even..."

Lin Qiutang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anxiety, "Even the fourth and fifth level monsters won't last long..."

Shen Qiyin was about to speak, but Tang Miao beside her suddenly cried out in surprise, interrupting their conversation: "Something's wrong! Qiyin, there's something else, very close to us!

Huh? Wait, wait a minute, there seems to be more than one! Yes, there are many!!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinyin immediately activated her third eye. Sure enough, in her field of vision, a hundred meters away, there were two huge figures rapidly approaching them!

Two more giant scorpions? !

Shen Qinyin frowned. The energy of the Ship-Slashing Sword was almost exhausted and needed to be replenished. During the period when the Ship-Slashing Sword was replenishing its energy, she could only rely on the light energy cannon to attack.

One is fine, but encountering two at the same time is a bit overwhelming.

I can only leave it to Kana. That bad woman just sucked so much blood from me a while ago. I have to ask her to repay me, right?

With this thought in mind, Shen Qinyin was about to speak, but suddenly discovered that behind the two giant scorpions, there were more figures approaching them!

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Shen Qiyin roughly counted and found that there were more than sixty sources of energy!

Damn it, did I poke the beast's lair?

She cursed inwardly, raised her light cannon, and aimed it at one of the giant scorpions.

But, the next second——

"Buzz!"

The harsh sound of metal vibration suddenly tore through the air!

Shen Qiyin looked forward through the holographic screen and saw dozens of translucent figures flying out from the shadows of the rainforest like flying birds!

Their figures were as elusive as smoke, holding ancient bronze swords that glowed with green light. The swords were engraved with runes, and even in the darkness, they emitted a clear blue light.

The dozen or so leading figures were the first to catch up with the giant scorpion. They all raised their bronze swords and stabbed directly at the head of the giant scorpion on the right!

“Clang, clang!”

The moment the tip of the sword touched the shell, the rune suddenly lit up, and the sharp blade immediately pierced through the giant scorpion's invulnerable scales!

The next second, energy surged, and the cracks caused by the sword blade spread like a spider web to the entire head, causing the giant scorpion to stagger even its steps forward.

"Ka!"

The giant scorpion hissed and swung its tail wildly, while spreading the bone spurs under its scales and shooting towards the human figures approaching from all directions.

However, its tail and bone spurs passed straight through the figures without causing any harm!

Because the other party is not a physical entity at all, but a projection like a 3D movie!

"They are the same figures we encountered at the nuclear test base!"

Shen Qiyin was keenly aware of this and could not help but show excitement:

"Great, this means we are very close to the ancient ruins!"

Chapter 175: Coup, Ascendant Action! (4.5k)

Shen Qiyin held the martial arts book in her hands, whose name she didn't know and whose contents she couldn't understand, and she felt like her whole body was shaking.

Could it be that this hopeless worldview is finally going to be patched?

Does the Weird Revival Mode need to be patched with Immortal Cultivation Patches to transform it into the Weird Immortal Dao Mode?

No wonder they couldn’t understand those words and symbols, but they possessed inexplicable energy. It turned out that this thing was related to their cultivation of immortals?

Shen Qinyin swallowed her saliva and nervously held the tattered book that looked like a method of cultivating immortality in her hand.

In short, no matter whether this booklet is some ancient martial arts technique, let's take it out first.

She put the booklet into the inside pocket of her tactical uniform, carefully placed it there, confirmed it twice, and then turned around and flew back in the direction she came from.

This ruin has been mostly explored, but judging by the experience in novels and anime, ancient ruins like this should still have a lot of room for exploration.

Shen Qiyin could feel that the area she was exploring at the moment was probably just the tip of the iceberg. Just like the western ruins, all that was revealed was a door and a large cave.

There are probably many places that have not yet been revealed, but there are currently no other places to explore in depth.

After a while, Shen Qinyin returned to the surface.

The others were still waiting outside the altar, just as they had been before she left.

Seeing Shen Qiyin coming out, they quickly went over to her, all showing concern on their faces. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.

Tang Miao glanced at the time on his watch and sighed, "Come to think of it, Qiyin, you're really quick. You came out after only ten minutes in."

"ten minutes?"

Hearing this, Shen Qinyin couldn't help but be stunned.

From entering the underground ruins, walking through the corridor, and adding the time spent exploring inside, it definitely took more than an hour.

What's more, she was delayed for a while because of the "attack" by the mysterious figure.

Could it be that there is an inconsistency in the flow of time here?

She subconsciously turned her head, her pupils suddenly contracted——

The bronze village that was originally suspended in the air disappeared.

The stilt houses, chains, bronze bells, and even the Vermillion Bird statue on the central altar were all gone without a trace.

All that was left before my eyes was an ordinary rainforest. Occasionally, the rustling sound of leaves in the evening breeze could be heard from the ancient trees entwined with vines, as if everything just now was an illusion.

The others were also a little confused. They had clearly been facing the direction of the ancient village and the altar, but the latter disappeared so abruptly, as if the frame was cut off. It was clearly there in the previous second, but disappeared completely in the next second.

"It's just like a fleeting dream."

Shen Qiyin murmured softly, then took out the booklet from her arms.

Fortunately, this thing did not disappear with the ruins, and she also had the wings that she moved out with her telekinesis. She still had to rely on that thing to upgrade the Titan and add the ability to fly.

Lin Qiutang noticed that the fog was gathering again nearby and quickly called out, "Don't stand here anymore. Let's go back first. The ruins are gone, and I guess those guardians have disappeared with them."

"Well, let's go." Shen Qiyin was the first to board the Titan. "We can talk on the way if you have anything to say."

The group boarded the Titan and quickly headed towards the nearest town on the map.

Along the way, Shen Qinyin told everyone in detail about her experience underground, including the attack from the phantom and the "gongfa" she obtained.

Tang Miao took the technique in his hand and examined it carefully.

Like Shen Qinyin, she had no idea what the words written on this book meant. She just felt that it was a bunch of strange symbols arranged in a completely illogical way. After looking at it for a long time, she would even have the illusion that the words came alive.

The inky black words were like earthworms, crawling on the paper, making Tang Miao feel dizzy.

"No, I don't understand it at all." Tang Miao put the booklet back on the table in despair.

Just now, she tried to use her powerful insight to analyze it, but once her mental network covered it, the content of the booklet became even more blurred and she could not read it at all.

Shen Qiyin smiled and comforted him, "Don't argue with that booklet. The techniques and cultivation I just told you about are just my guesses."

"But it's very well-founded, isn't it?" Tang Miao said excitedly with stars in his eyes, "Qiyin, you've noticed that the figures we encountered this time are completely different from those we encountered in the western ruins!

The weapons they used were all bronze swords. I carefully observed the patterns on these swords and found that they were very similar to the mainstream Taotie patterns, dragon patterns, and phoenix patterns of the Bronze Dynasty thousands of years ago.

Do you think it is possible that these are really the relics left behind by those great immortal cultivators thousands of years ago?

You saw it too, what those figures just displayed was the art of controlling swords! Controlling swords with Qi, they could fend off enemies thousands of miles away. The sword formation was like the wind, and the swords were like a forest...”

Tang Miao became more and more excited as she spoke, and she almost wanted to write the words "I am a novel fan" on her face.

However, it is understandable that no matter whether it is this earth or the earth where Shen Qinyin originally lived, everyone has an almost religious-like enthusiasm for mythological stories and anecdotes about cultivating immortals.

For humans, flying, hiding in the ground, immortality, omnipotence, and ascending to heaven...

In the list of my favorite dreams, cultivating immortality would definitely be among the top three.

As for the second and first, of course they are becoming extremely rich and powerful, and liberating all mankind.

Turning over a new leaf and slapping your enemies in the face is a small pleasure; one person's success brings prosperity to everyone involved is a medium pleasure; saving the world, liberating mankind, and achieving universal peace, even if the land is filled with grief and blood, all for the sake of saving the people, and everyone feeling happy together, is the ultimate pleasure.

Through this action, Shen Qiyin also understood one thing: you can't put all your bets on Titan.

Although it is fast to improve strength with the help of external objects, there will definitely be situations in the future similar to this time when entering the ruins, where one will be unable to control the Titan or be forced to abandon the Titan.

External equipment and mechanical ascension can be relied upon, but one's own strength is also very important. What confuses Shen Qinyin the most now is that she is not sure what level of strength she will have after leaving Titan.

......

In a confidential facility in Jingzhou City, Republic.

Li Huaiyuan sat on one side of the round conference table, surrounded by generals and government officials from the highest military decision-making level of the Republic.

The command center they are in, hidden deep underground in Jingzhou City, can be said to be the core fortress of the Republic against the Black Tide.

The dome-shaped alloy protective layer silently demonstrates its powerful protective performance. The improved White Flame holographic projection equipment in the center of the round table is displaying the front-line battle situation, resource allocation, and the expansion trend of the black tide in real time.

The air was filled with tension and depression.

This is the power core of the Republic and also the "battlefield" behind Li Huaiyuan.

The holographic sand table occupies the entire center of the round table, projecting the territory of the Republic.

The Kuroshio erosion area, marked in dark red, has encroached on most of the defense lines in the northwest and northern regions.

Li Huaiyuan glanced at the senior military officials and government officials around him. Some were talking in low voices, some were watching coldly, and some were staring at Li Huaiyuan, waiting for him to speak.

Except for the highest leader who resigned at the beginning of the Black Tide and the position has been vacant ever since, all the central leaders have gathered together.

Among them was Zhou Guangxun, the acting leader and director of the National Paranormal Recovery Assessment and Resistance Department.

The giant screen on the wall scrolled battle reports, resource consumption, and casualty figures.

Li Huaiyuan's adjutant stood aside, constantly updating the latest intelligence from the front line on the light screen in his hand.

Even though the air conditioning system kept the room at the optimal temperature, the air still felt heavy.

No one dared to speak loudly, only the slight hum of the holographic projection echoed in the space.

Li Huaiyuan's gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on the acting leader, Zhou Guangxun, the Minister of the Resistance Department.

"Minister Zhou, the black tide has broken through the second line of defense in the north. If we delay any longer, we won't even have a chance to counterattack."

Zhou Guangxun held a teacup in his hand. Although his tone was calm, it could not hide his sharp edge. "Commander Li, a full-scale counterattack means risking everything. If we fail, the Republic will lose its last defense."

Li Huaiyuan responded with a sharp retort, "Are you just going to stay in this tin can, waiting for the black tide to devour all the territory, people, and supplies, and then starve to death?"

"Watch your words, Commander Li," Zhou Guangxun's face darkened as he spoke slowly, "You should be well aware that the front-line defense is just a delaying tactic. What we are fighting for is the greatest chance of human survival.

This fortress is made of a large amount of improved white flames. The supplies inside are enough for us to survive for hundreds of years. When the black tide has swallowed up everything on the surface, it will naturally leave.
