Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 81: Impenetrable Shield, Cowardly Exotic Beast
The terrain around had long been thoroughly mapped by the Insect Detectors. π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
Therefore, with AI-assisted control, each step of the sprint was calculated accurately.
When to leap to avoid obstacles on the ground;
When to swing an arm to cut through dense vegetation blocking the way;
Covering just over two hundred meters in the full-speed dash mode only took a few seconds, and the Gundam was only fifty meters away from the toad.
The blood-red tongue struck again.
However, with the assistance of the AI system, the Gundamβs body leaned back at the moment of the tongueβs attack and executed a sliding tackle, kicking up a cloud of dust and narrowly evading the bloody tongueβs strike.
"That slide tackle angleβany human would twist their waist doing that."
With the Extreme Speed Sprint, if it werenβt for the AIβs control over the Mecha, Mo Qingchen would definitely not have been able to dodge that attack just now.
And the AI did not only execute the evasive slide tackle but also swung the right claw, slicing four gashes into the bloody tongue.
After the slide tackle, a forward roll resumed the previously lowered speed to its peak once more.
Without waiting for the toadβs tongue to strike again, it had already closed in to within 20 meters.
"Charge the [Energy Air Cannon], blow its eyes out for me!"
The barrels on both arms immediately began to charge, and in the next instant, two compressed Energy Bullets shot toward the toadβs eyes from left and right.
Unfortunately, the toadβs eyelids shut, causing the two Energy Bullets to lose their targets, leaving only two white spots on its eyelids, which couldnβt even penetrate its defense.
"The energy that can break a Tier Four Exotic Beastβs defense cannot pierce a Tier Fiveβs skin."
This Gundamβs weapon modules arenβt numerous, with only two types of ranged weapons: the previous [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] and the current [Energy Air Cannon].
The former blasted the toad into a critically wounded state, while the latter couldnβt even break its skin, resulting in a significant power discrepancy.
But having closed in, naturally, the fight turns into close-quarters combat!
"Die, you damned toad! Die for me!"
Each of the two claws is equipped with four [Plasma Oscillation Sabers].
In the Extreme Speed Sprint, the Gundam almost instantaneously dashed past the toadβs left side, using the kinetic energy generated by its speed to drive the left claw directly into the toad, tearing it from head to tail.
Four one-foot-deep bloody gorges extended from beneath the toadβs mouth to its hind legs, oozing with blood.
"Tsk tsk, this claw is just like Wolverineβs, capable of tearing through a Tier Five toadβs protective membrane. Excellent!"
Unfortunately, a one-foot-deep wound doesnβt mean much to a toad larger than a bus.
"Ribbit~!"
A tremendous explosion rang out, and a blood-red Shield surfaced on the toadβs body, enveloping it entirely.
Clearly, this toad finally activated its Energy Shield skill.
A piercing "scritch" sound arose as the claw grated against the blood-red Energy Shield.
The Shield fluctuated and wavered but was not torn apart by the claw.
Mo Qingchen maneuvered the Gundam to quickly circle to the toadβs right hind leg, slashing with both claws.
The consistent "scritch scritch" sound persisted without pause.
Sadly, after four or five continuous slashes, the blood-red Energy Shield proved extremely resilient, showing no signs of tearing.
Dodging the toadβs tongue attack, Mo Qingchen controlled the Gundam to change positions, with relentless claw attacks.
"Damn it! Resorting to hiding in an Energy Shield when you canβt fight back, are you playing dirty?!"
After several minutes of standoff, Mo Qingchen cursed internally but could only reluctantly control the Gundam to retreat the way it came.
"Damn, a Level 59 Abnormal Toad, the released Energy Shield is so strong, the Gundam canβt break the defense! What a struggle!"
In a few minutes of close combat, he had gathered a lot of combat parameters.
The Combined Gundamβs defensive capability is impressive. In Shield mode, a Tier Five Exotic Beast can only break the Shield but not compromise the Mechaβs defense.
Without Shield mode, the Mechaβs defense can be breached by a Tier Five Exotic Beast.
Recently, having endured a tongue attack head-on, the Mechaβs abdomen took a 6.5CM deep dent but didnβt penetrate the Mechaβs surface metal protection.
It can be said that with this Combined Gundam, even after leaving the Trial Dungeon, Mo Qingchen now has a means of self-defense.
However, the Gundamβs weapons still need continued upgrades.
The [Energy Air Cannon] can only break Tier Four Exotic Beast defenses, while it is completely ineffective against Tier Five.
The [Plasma Oscillation Saber] can tear through Tier Five Exotic Beast defenses, but if they shield, itβs useless.
The [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon] is powerful but takes too long to charge and even longer to cool down, consuming a lot of energy.
Overall, the Combined Gundam remains a very powerful piece of equipment, but it doesnβt hinder it from becoming even more formidable!
Just wait for Grey Wolf to research and produce [Super Titanium Alloy] and [Super Energy Fission Reactor], and it can once again be upgraded.
So, the pressing task for Mo Qingchen is to make money!
Without money, donβt even think about setting up a lab for Grey Wolf, not even having the funds to buy materials!
Surely he wonβt make Grey Wolf forage for scraps in the garbage dump next to the house?
With the help of the AI system, after dodging five tongue attacks in succession, they finally got rid of the Abnormal Toadβs assault.
"I donβt believe it; you canβt keep the blood-red Shield up at all times."
Hiding behind a building, observing through the Insect Detector, the Abnormal Toad hasnβt dispersed its Shield yet.
With a broken hind leg, the toad moves slowly, but its size ensures even a short move covers several meters.
At this moment, the toad began indiscriminately attacking the living creatures around it with extreme ferocity.
No one knows how the toad senses the position of nearby living beings, yet it can accurately locate prey.
Even when exotic beasts are hiding within buildings, its tongue can easily pierce through walls, precisely striking creatures hidden behind them.
At the same time, Mo Qingchen noticed that after devouring exotic beasts, the toadβs wounds began to heal quickly.
Originally, it was blasted by a shot, losing a hind leg with several carbonized burn marks on its body.
After consuming five exotic beasts, the carbonized burns started to peel off, and new flesh buds sprouted.
In about a few minutes, apart from the broken hind leg, all other injuries had healed.
As the toad continued its frenzied hunting, swallowing a dozen exotic beasts, even the site of the broken leg began sprouting new flesh.
"With such regenerative capabilities, itβs no wonder this Abnormal Toad can ascend to Tier Five."
Mo Qingchen mounted the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon], using the Insect Detectorβs assistance to once again aim at the Abnormal Toad shrouded in red fog.
He refused to believe it couldnβt be blasted to death!
A series of blue energy rings illuminated as the Gundamβs energy flowed into the [Electromagnetic Energy Cannon].
In the next moment, a deafening roar erupted once more.
The immense force pushed the Combined Gundam back over two meters on the ground.
The colossal blue electromagnetic light sphere vanished into the red mist in an instant.
