LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 112 This is just the surface
The monitored coastal volcano is an active volcano.
Because it has been active for a long time, local towns restrict people from entering the mountains most of the time. In addition, the number of local residents is small, and the evacuation speed is faster than that of ordinary towns, which makes them quite skilled.
When Jiang Chen flew here in his steam mecha, he could already see buses driving along the road in the distance, and he nodded.
After receiving the support of the local civilization, he can let go of his hands and feet when fighting, and has a lot less worries——
You know, he is here to do the upgrade mission!
A very small number of casualties when attacked by abyssal monsters are unavoidable and will not lower the mission evaluation.
However, such large-scale civilized casualties will inevitably lower the mission evaluation.
Even the inherently evil Fire Raider warcasters would try to avoid such incidents considering the benefits of evaluation.
Not to mention, the Fire Raiders slaughtered high-level mecha masters and plundered the potential of civilization...
The prerequisite is that civilization develops, crosses the abyss, and has the qualifications to spread fire!
When it comes to leveling up missions, whether they are Fire Raiders or Fire Broadcasters, their goals are quite the same:
[Reduce casualties and defeat disasters]
After all, there are only a few cities that can evacuate people as quickly as here...
Coupled with the earthquakes caused by underground monsters, they are becoming more and more terrifying, and will be accompanied by corresponding chain natural disasters...
It must be resolved as soon as possible.
Jiang Chen piloted a steam mecha, floating in the air, and turned on high-energy vision.
Sure enough, I saw familiar high-energy fluctuations, spreading from the depths of the ground layer by layer, even spreading into the volcano.
At this time, the active volcano has begun to emit billowing smoke due to energy fluctuations, entering an active state, and may erupt at any time.
There are indeed signs of something strange underground here.
The issue is……
Too deep.
According to the monitoring and judgment of the Seismological Research Institute, the focal depth of this place exceeds 200 kilometers, making it a mid-source earthquake.
Although for the same earthquake magnitude, the deeper the earthquake source, the lower the impact on the ground...
However, the underground anomaly is hidden deep underground two hundred kilometers deep, and it is difficult for Jiang Chen to affect it.
This is a place that even high-power vision cannot reach!
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
This promotion trial once again exposed his shortcomings.
Through the cooperation between Zero and Yun, his basic strength, agility, defense, and even recovery speed have been improved.
However, the capabilities and means appear to be relatively poor.
If it weren't for the lack of investigation methods, he could have followed the example of Senior Arno, easily and simply found the source of the abyss disaster and launched a challenge.
If it weren't for the lack of abilities related to earth attributes, he could easily break through the earth, go deep into the ground, and pull out underground monsters to kill them.
Mecha No. 3 is imperative!
Although there is currently no Mecha No. 3 and its corresponding modules.
Jiang Chen is not completely without methods to deal with it.
The former has been made up for the two shortcomings with the help of local civilization.
As for the latter, special ability modules that can penetrate deep into the earth and control it can also be obtained by killing abyss monsters!
Just like the basic trial of the steam world.
Jiang Chen killed those aberration monsters and dropped a large amount of aberration materials and modules.
In the world of Fission, when Jiang Chen killed underground monsters, he also obtained many high-quality materials related to earth attributes.
However, because the monsters that appeared at the beginning were all weak beings with zero-level and first-level strength.
Even with the explosion rate bonus of the upgrade trial and the hope difficulty, the output is extremely rubbish and not worth mentioning.
As long as Jiang Chen kills a few elite monsters, he might be able to get a series of high-quality modules!
Kill monsters, plunder modules...
From this perspective, all mecha masters are actually 'predators'.
It's just that the monsters plundered are the monsters of the abyss, not the same kind.
…
Jiang Chen waited for a while.
Seeing that the bus was already carrying the townspeople away, I finally stopped waiting and looked at the crater below me.
At this time, thick smoke was billowing here.
It would be a bit troublesome to dig all the way down and find an abyssal monster at a depth of two hundred kilometers.
Fortunately, this is a volcanic area, and there happens to be a suitable lava channel leading to the ground, which can save a lot of time.
It's still a little early to take a star bath or a nuclear sauna...
You can try the magma bath first.
Jiang Chen was eager to express his feelings through his characteristics.
Yun, are you ready to take a lava bath with me?
[Soaking and bathing with the master? 】
There was a feeling of shyness, excitement, and excitement.
The jet ports on both sides of the steam mecha's helmet suddenly spurted out two streams of white steam.
[In the end... I will work hard in the end...]
Jiang Chen: ...
If I remember correctly, the prenatal training he asked Bai Ying to give Yun should be High-Inflammation Mixed Cut and Hot-Blooded Story, right?
Are you sure there isn't anything weird mixed in?
Jiang Chen had a flash of thought, no longer hesitated, drove the steam mecha, fell directly into the crater of the volcano with billowing thick smoke, and was submerged into the hot magma!
The temperature of ordinary magma is only about a thousand degrees.
The basic defense of the steam mecha reached an astonishing value of 2,500.
Coupled with the steam mecha's own resistance to high temperatures, without extraordinary characteristics, this magma is not even qualified to break through defenses.
Completely immersed in it, without losing even a little bit of armor value.
As for moving in magma, it is much more difficult than in water... There is no need to worry about this.
Whether it's the high force sensitivity attribute or the omnipotent biological force field.
This problem can be easily solved.
Jiang Chen drove the steam mecha and quickly moved downward along the magma channel.
At the same time, the high-energy induction was turned on, and the surrounding environment was observed through the mecha's eyepiece to prevent any special factors from being missed.
Soon, when Jiang Chen followed the magma channel all the way deep and reached the asthenosphere of more than two hundred kilometers, he finally observed a high-energy reaction in the direction of the earthquake source monitored by the institute!
When this high-energy reaction manifests itself in living organisms.
It is the life energy in Master Chao's eyes.
With the help of hundreds of abyss lords, Jiang Chen has become proficient in observing the opponent's life energy intensity through high-energy reactions, thereby roughly guessing his strength level.
Is it close to the third level of life energy?
The earth fissured the world and was classified into a second-level abyss by the abyss pattern.
At this time, this underground monster is located in the second-level abyss, but it has life energy close to the third-level strength...
In an ordinary promotion trial, I'm afraid it can already be regarded as the final BOSS!
At the same level, it is much stronger than the tenth day boss [Son of the Ancient God] in the steam world!
However, considering that this is an upgrade trial of [Hope Difficulty] specially reserved for those who wish.
This underground monster may not be the ultimate source of this disaster.
Even if he is not the final boss, he is definitely an elite monster of Master Luo's level!
Kill first and then talk!
Jiang Chen used high-energy induction to lock the opponent's position and swam towards the opponent along the magma.
The other party seemed to be moving in the magma layer. In some way, it predicted the arrival of the steam mecha and came over.
The two sides encountered each other and quickly had their first collision.
In the first trial, the steam mecha simply turned on energy overload and increased its strength attribute to 5,500, which was at a disadvantage.
Jiang Chen also judged from this collision that the opponent's strength attribute was around 7,000.
However, this is not the key.
During the confrontation, Jiang Chen used high-energy vision to discover that the kinetic energy brought about by the impact had turned into ripples through the action of some high-energy force and spread along the magma layer.
It created a far stronger earthquake wave than before that was not supposed to be caused by 0.45 million people!
The steam mecha also suffered more damage.
Is this some kind of extraordinary ability that can create seismic waves?
Sure enough, you can't fight these monsters underground!
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He didn't directly activate the second stage and launch a deliberate punch with hundreds of thousands of power because he was worried about the earthquake——
Power will spread through the earth.
If you fight recklessly underground, the monster may die, and large-scale towns on the surface may be destroyed by the aftermath.
At this time, the ability of the underground monsters further deepened his thoughts.
The battlefield must be moved!
…
Through the magma channel of the volcano crater, enter the underground...
Is the defensive performance of this mecha also so good?
A general looked at the scene in the picture and spoke in wonder.
The appearance of this strange mecha completely destroyed and refreshed the human understanding of force on this planet in just a few days!
Don't look at the fact that the steam mecha just defeated a few missiles——
If the steam mecha relies on some kind of defense or the strength of its alloy armor, it can take missile damage and remain unscathed...
Countries would not be so surprised.
After all, this just means that the missile is not powerful enough. If a more powerful missile is used, it may be possible to destroy this mecha.
but……
The missile was easily shattered and had no effect at all.
This is what really makes them feel powerless.
Faced with this situation, even if we use more powerful missiles, or even replace them with nuclear weapons being developed, what is the point?
The opponent can easily intercept these attacks.
If it cannot hit the enemy, no matter how strong the force is, it will be completely ineffective.
This is a whole other level of force.
After showing its defensive capabilities, the opponent showed devastating destructive power.
What the two together mean is naturally self-evident.
That’s why all countries expressed cooperation so quickly.
At the same time, various countries have also developed an extremely strong desire for this mecha.
too strong!
Just one mecha is enough to overwhelm the civilization and technology of the entire planet. If you can hold it in your hands, wouldn't you be able to become the overlord immediately?
Of course, the lake was still outside as a deterrent, and they did not dare to make any demands on this mysterious man.
I could only observe the situation while drooling.
At this time, they remotely observed the actions of the mecha through broadcasting pictures and other methods.
It was not only to verify Calamity's statement, to cooperate with the opponent's fight against Calamity, but also to observe the strength of the mecha.
The earthquake monitoring station is also constantly sending news.
Strong seismic fluctuations were detected, with a focal depth of more than two hundred kilometers...still the same source...
After inference, it seems that the mecha encountered him...
Wait a minute, the earthquake source is moving, the earthquake source is rising!
The source of earthquakes that can move frequently has actually verified the mysterious mecha master's statement——
The recent frequent small-scale earthquakes are caused by some strange creatures living deep underground.
Since they can cause small-scale earthquakes, they can naturally gather together to cause large-scale super-large earthquakes that can destroy countries and civilizations.
To think that civilization is actually in danger.
The general controlled his mood and stared at the crater on the screen.
The source of the earthquake is rising...
In other words, the monsters that appear everywhere are about to crawl out of the ground.
Just as they were paying close attention.
The volcano began to tremble and smoke began to drift away.
The next moment, everyone monitoring this scene, whether they were generals or staff from various countries, were all shocked and lost their voices——
As the magma gushed out, a huge monster over 300 meters in size broke through the smoke and flew out of the sky!
It is as huge as a hill, its body is covered with rock-like black scales, and hot magma flows on its surface.
When it landed on the ground, it caused the earth to tremble, and the surrounding town was reduced to rubble in just a few seconds.
Its roar was like substance, dispersing the volcanic smoke, causing the helicopters floating in the distance to observe the situation to stagger and almost fall.
Is this the source of the monster that lurks two hundred kilometers underground and is about to cause an earthquake and natural disaster?
Compared with it, the strange monsters that appeared in the city before were barely even cubs!
If this kind of monster appears in the city, what weapon can be used to deal with it?
Generals from various countries couldn't help but have this idea.
In an instant, they powerlessly rejected all ideas.
The other party lives two hundred kilometers deep underground. He doesn't need to show up at all. He only needs to cause an earthquake to destroy human civilization!
There is nothing humans can do about this!
It is an invincible existence!
However, the generals of various countries have just come up with this idea.
Compared with the monster that was over 300 meters in size, the relatively small golden-red mecha hit the monster like a golden meteor——
The second stage, machine soul fusion!
You don't even need to turn on full power, the 60,000 force sensitivity shared with the steam mecha can completely break through the monster like a beast!
During this process, due to the excessive force, kinetic energy and shock waves spread.
The monster, which was more than three hundred meters long, was like a watermelon hit by a bullet. It spread from the penetration point and exploded with a bang!
Countless pieces of flesh and blood were scattered on the ground, and a hot blood rain fell next to the volcano.
[The enemy general has been defeated by Yun! 】
…
[Kill the lava beast and obtain the flawless module: molten rock (overclocking). 】
…
[Molten Fire Rock (Overclocking)]
[Level: Three]
[Quality: Flawless]
[Type: hand module, surface module. 】
[Effect 1: Improve the fire resistance of the mecha and reduce the fire damage received. 】
[Effect 2: When loaded on the hand module, it can consume mecha energy, release the power of lava, turn flames into lava for attack, or convert the rocks in contact into high-temperature lava. The power is related to mystery and energy (power Upper limit: 20,000)]
[Effect 3: When loaded on the surface module, it can consume mecha energy, create a lava shell, absorb part of the damage, and cause high temperature damage to the enemy when attacked.
The absorption of damage and power is related to mystery and energy (the upper limit of single absorption and power: 20,000)]
[Description: I also jumped out of the stone. 】
…
Everyone froze in place.
That monster, which was over 300 meters in size and more terrifying than the monsters in science fiction movies, was killed by this mecha...
Seconds? !
Mecha Master!!
Have those who were chosen to become mecha masters come back?
We must have this powerful mecha!!
The generals spoke almost roaringly.
Another group of contact personnel received the communication prompt and quickly connected——
In order to facilitate communication and provide information, various countries have long given Jiang Chen a set of communication equipment.
At this time, Jiang Chen's voice came from the opposite side of the communication equipment.
Continue to monitor seismic fluctuations and look for deeper and stronger earthquake sources.
...
The general understood what Jiang Chen meant and spoke in disbelief.
That monster just now was not the source of the disaster?
of course not.
Jiang Chen's voice came over.
This lava beast, so weak, is nothing more than a servant of the real monster.
If it is the real source of disaster...
Maybe even my mechas can't fight it and will be damaged in the battle.
……What?!
Hearing Jiang Chen's words.
Everyone felt their scalps tingling.
This kind of mecha is powerful enough to sweep across the surface of the earth, defeat civilization, and instantly kill terrifying monsters with one blow...
Is it possible that the opponent is not the source of the disaster?
How terrible is the real source of disaster? !
