"Is it really that amazing...."
Sitting on the armed helicopter, listening to Li Wenkang outlining the details of the Ba Mountain Sky Pit capture plan, Lord Fox's cheeks showed a mumbling expression and said, "Just don't be like last time when the drone was taken for a spin...."
Ansheng had seen the hive drone cabin, but its actual combat effectiveness was very mediocre.
In front of the speed of the Fungal Parasitic Beast, although those Time Travel Machines are fast, they aren't as agile as the Parasite Beasts, and eventually, even the nests were heavily bombed by the Parasite Beasts.
"Technology is just technology. It needs to advance and be perfected. It's not some idealistic religious theology. You lose, gain experience, and embark again."
"As long as the researchers' faith doesn't crumble, it's not a real defeat."
Li Wenkang said with all the reason on his face.
"True, after all...in fighting the beasts, you can't just pile up life after life." Lord Fox nodded, fully agreeing with Old Li's words.
Yet, his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the Spiritual Particle Metal box in Li Wenkang's hand.
The highest crafted weaponry developed by Xia Country.
"Will it be displayed at the National Day military parade?" Lord Fox asked.
"???
Li Wenkang slowly put out a question mark, then fell into a prolonged silence.
"No. Also, there's no parade this year...."
"Oh...." Lord Fox showed a face full of disappointment.
In the night, after a lengthy flight, the armed helicopter landed outside the Ba Mountain Sky Pit, at the temporary command camp.
Wang Qiqi hugged Lord Fox off the aircraft, and the Golden Leopard leisurely followed, along with Li Wenkang.
"Report. Everything is ready, the enemies inside the pit haven't detected our movement."
A masked soldier came up to Li Wenkang and saluted, briefly reporting the mission progress.
"Alright."
Li Wenkang didn't say anything, he gently nodded and walked straight into the command room.
"Well....see you later then."
Wang Qiqi placed Lord Fox onto the broad back of the Golden Leopard, smiled, and waved to them.
The mosquito-like Spirit Beast, upon scanning, hadn't reached the [Territory Level] range.
But from its form, power, and speed, it appears to be a Guardian Level Spirit Beast with specialized group capabilities, with power levels that are hard to quantify.
In such battles, woodcutters typically could only assist the Spirit Beasts; the primary work is about communication rather than the frontline combat.
The evolution speed of Spirit People isn't as fast as that of Spirit Beasts.
Wang Qiqi forcibly mixed in, with the highest chance being grabbed by the mosquito demon by the collar, receiving two slaps, and then covering her reddening and bruised face, quickly running back home.
"So, how do we allocate the tasks later?" The Golden Leopard, carrying Lord Fox, got to the side of the cargo truck, picked up the Gravity Tenderizing Hammer Pro, and asked Lord Fox.
"Of course, we go by what Old Li said. Ansheng will do a big leap later and jab its nest, then snag the mosquito demon by the collar and give it two slaps."
"After it gets its butt kicked, let Old Li and the others come over and mop up...."
Lord Fox looked totally justified, in his mind summoning his wish list, and took a gulp of the iced cola he just grabbed off the armed helicopter.
"Do I fear it? Lord Fox went all-in for a living!"
In the invisible void for others, a light screen slowly unfolded, with numbers jumping on the detailed page.
[Physique: 151→181]
[Wisdom: 5]
[Wish Power: 0]
Lord Fox stood on the back of the Golden Leopard, raised his Gravity Hammer high, as the seven fluffy snow-white tails behind him billowed slowly in the mountain stream night breeze, as if alive.
"Aren't you a bit too aggressive....." The Golden Leopard gazed forward on the march, tossing a line at Lord Fox, not noticing that the number of tails behind Lord Fox had increased from six to seven in just a few days.
"We should draw it out first, then let the defense system lock onto its path for technical verification. If you go straight up and hammer it to pieces, what's there for the Security Bureau and the military to test out about the new technological equipment?"
Lord Fox said he could pulverize the mosquito, and the Golden Leopard fully believed in his strength and hammer.
But to put it... The original plan was to verify the city's defense capabilities!
"You don't quite get it then."
"Since we're testing the defensive weapon's capabilities, naturally, we need to test the extreme limits."
"I, Lord Fox, will hammer down, render that mosquito spirit dizzy, then threaten them, saying—vanish from my sight in three seconds, or I'll twist your heads off and kick them like footballs."
"Tell me, what Spirit Beast wouldn't flee for its life?" Lord Fox proudly stated, justifying his need to first pulverize the mosquito spirit with logical coherence.
The Golden Leopard's "meow" sound.
Lord Fox's "whimper" sound.
Transmitted through the forest surveillance cameras, to the temporary command room.
Li Wenkang and Wang Qiqi watched the images displayed on the screen, and the conversation between the leopard and the fox from the surround sound without showing any expression.
Although they were expressionless, like seriously contemplating the combat content.
Upon a closer look, you could see Li Wenkang's mouth subtly twitching.
Well.... I should thank you ahead of time for your thoughtfulness.
Turning the original encounter into a breakout battle.
From simple difficulty to hellish difficulty.
"Actually, the result isn't too bad; Lord Fox has absolute confidence in suppressing the [Ba Mountain Mosquito]."
As if sensing Li Wenkang's internal complaints, Wang Qiqi smiled and said, "Safety is the most important."
"Hmm..." Li Wenkang nodded lightly, sitting back, knowing the plan had changed, but he made no moves.
The new city defense system, developed specifically for unexpected situations.
The whole system based on automation research, meant to handle dangerous incidents unresponsive to human intervention.
...
Meanwhile, in front of Ba Mountain Sky Pit.
Lord Fox already stood at the edge of the rock face, looking towards the sheer cliff and the bottomless big pit, a rush of damp cold wind blowing up from inside. The vertical drop from the underground to the outside of the pit was over four hundred meters.
"Whimper..."
Lord Fox slowly exhaled, took a deep breath, and let out a high-pitched whimper into the pit.
"Whimper Whimper Whimper——"
The whimpering voice had a strong penetrating power, as if imbued with some force, even in the temporary command room, you could hear Lord Fox's cursing voice.
The Golden Leopard's eyelids twitched.
"Does he have to curse that harshly?"
"All you stinky mosquitoes, listen up! I, Ansheng, Lord Fox, the great fox, am going to ride your big mother mosquito, and then have your sons fetch me some food, afterward, I'll beat your sons and sell them off to dig mines...."
"Have your mate come out and dance a sensual dance to entertain me, the great Lord Fox!"
Lord Fox's cursing voice reverberated from top to bottom.
At the bottom of Ba Mountain Sky Pit, a buzzing sound rose, the black clouds of mosquitoes converged densely.
