Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Commander Chang, something is flying toward us!" the co-pilot exclaimed.

Chang Huan looked up and saw that what had turned into a terrifyingly white Insect Island now had creatures crawling out. They flapped their wings like helicopter propellers, their speed even surpassing their steel warship, heading straight for them!

"It's just a Red Zhe, shoot it down!" the Female Officer ordered.

The steel warship was equipped with advanced weapons, visible were two large, movable cannons positioned under the hull, aiming at the propeller creature pursuing them.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Two red energy-attached interceptor missiles flew out, trailing long flames in the air.

The propeller Red Zhe's speed did not decrease at all, and the two red shells exploded in front of it, creating a red explosion cloud, and the resulting shockwave swept several kilometers.

Yet, the propeller Red Zhe seemed unscathed, its leather armor intact, like a more advanced metal fighter plane, terrifyingly charging at them!

Its propeller wings seemed to be its weapons, and the vicious Red Zhe started slicing at the belly of the steel warship, shredding all the retractable gun barrels installed there.

After destroying the warship's weapons, the Red Zhe actually clung directly to the belly of the steel warship, extending extremely sharp and flexible claws...

Like a scalpel slicing open a patient's skin, the thick steel of the warship was torn open, a huge gash allowing the cold, fierce wind to pour in!

"What on earth is this thing??"

"A Zhe Clan we've never seen before!"

"If it dares to climb aboard, we'll turn it into a sieve!"

The Hao Clan warriors thought they could rest, but this Red Zhe was so ferocious that it threatened to leave their entire steel warship on this Insect Island.

"It's the tyrant tiger armor!" Wang Rui seemed familiar with such formidable creatures.

Tiger armor?

Isn't that a carnivorous insect?

In the Tropical Pavilion of Li City, they harbored such beetles, and Wu Hen remembered clearly that this type of tiger armor was the fastest crawling creature on land.

It could move 171 times its body length per second.

If such speed were applied to the human size ratio, it would be akin to a steel Superman, nearing the speed of sound!

And here in this Otherworldly Desert Dust, the thing known as tyrant tiger armor was even more terrifying, effortlessly catching up with the steel warship speeding at the speed of sound. They had tripled their speed after fleeing from Insect Island, and the opponent's speed had to be much higher to catch up in such short time!

"Shush!!!!!"

Another huge slice appeared, and the specially smelted steel was no different from cardboard, torn open by the opponent's claws.

This tyrant tiger armor did not enter the cabin but kept slicing open the steel warship, as if to disembowel it.

"In our homeland, insects are actually the most fearsome species, like ants, which can move objects hundreds of times their own weight, and some beetles can even resist the bites of fierce beasts. If these crawling tiger armors were about our size, our painstakingly developed fighters and warships would be a joke in front of them…" Wang Rui said.

"Didn't we easily blast away hundreds just before?" Wu Hen felt puzzled.

"Those were basically larvae. Adult versions have perfect combat abilities. Without a sophisticated army, it's impossible to kill any of them," Chang Huan said.

Wu Hen had also realized why Wang Rui had previously said the insects here were somehow different.

In fact, the terrifying genetics of the insects were perfectly epitomized in the Otherworldly Desert Dust, and their sizes were even more exaggerated. They hardly resembled carbon-based life forms but rather, seemed more akin to the silicon-based life forms that humans had long pursued, boasting incomparable metallic exoskeletons!

"Bang!!!"

Finally, the tyrant tiger armor had burst into the cabin.

The interior of the steel warship was actually very spacious, equivalent to a soccer stadium.

All members of the Hao Clan were already standing on the outer side of the boat, with their muzzles aimed at the torn metal spots!

As soon as the tyrant tiger armor appeared, thousands of muzzles spewed red flames, and bullets poured down like rain on the beast.

Yet, the tyrant tiger armor just stood there, slowly folding its wings that were cumbersome in the narrow space, somehow exuding a touch of elegance and composure.

It was indifferent to the bullets fired at it.

It was like a robust man wearing a raincoat, utterly unconcerned about the raindrops falling on him.

The tyrant tiger armor coldly watched the people inside the steel warship. From its actions, it was clear that this was an intelligent and powerful life form. It was coldly expressing its anger and disdain for human weapons.

When all its wings retracted to its back, the standing tyrant tiger armor was like cloaked in an armored coat, emitting an aura truly like a slaughterous king on the battlefield, ready to annihilate any number of surrounding foes!

"Switch to melee weapons!" Commander Chang issued the command.

Their firearms were useless against the terrifying tyrant tiger armor. Instead, bullets ricocheted inside the steel warship, causing casualties among their own ranks.

Hao Clan soldiers carried both firearms and bladed weapons.

Following Commander Chang's order, all Hao Clan soldiers forcefully folded their firearms and then reattached them in a different orientation.

The barrels and triggers retracted, and other extraneous parts smoothed out. Soon, all firearms were transformed into melee weapons, each glowing with a radiant light.

"Kill!"

Commander Chang took the lead, his firearm transforming into a Yanyue Blade, even his heavy armor underwent a change—thick gear, magazines, and back cannons all shed, turning into lighter combat armor!

Dressed in white combat armor, Commander Chang moved with astonishing speed, his heavy Yanyue Blade's edge was tinged with a laser, cutting through metal as if it were mud!

He struck heavily on the back of the tyrant tiger armor, which seemed still busy tallying numbers and utterly disregarding Chang Huan's attack.

The laser blade left only a superficial scorch mark on the tyrant tiger armor, nothing more.

Only then did the tyrant tiger armor turn around, its gaze coldly fixed on Commander Chang.

At the same time, other Hao Clan warriors also transformed into fighting soldiers, swinging their bladed weapons at the highly aggressive tyrant tiger armor.

The tyrant tiger armor remained indifferent to their attacks.

For a moment, it was unclear who were the insects...

"It seems like it's looking for something," Wang Rui said in a low voice.

"I don't know what it's searching for, but my soldiers are definitely searching for death by acting like this," Wu Hen said, yet he made no rash moves.
