Chapter 81 Territory
"Since the AI unit is not in danger, then we shouldn't worry about these two implant units either."
Without further hesitation, following the previous procedure, he first focused his attention on the "mobile enhanced leg unit".
[Confirm binding of the 'Mobility Enhancement Leg Unit'? This unit is 31% damaged. Binding it will provide high-speed movement, short-range hovering, terrain adaptation, and leg strength enhancement. Binding requires contact with both legs.]
"Confirm binding".
As soon as the command was given, the fist-sized, dark red mass of flesh floated up from the ground.
This time, Li Hao took the initiative to control the force field and created an opening in the lower leg area.
The moment the mass of flesh touched the skin of his right calf, it quickly softened and stretched.
It enveloped the entire calf like a living liquid.
It then spread to the left leg.
The whole process brought a cool, tingling sensation, but no pain.
The fusion was completed in just five seconds.
Li Hao looked down and saw a layer of writhing flesh on his legs, with faint dark silver patterns flowing beneath the skin.
[Leg strength increased by approximately 40%, short-range bursts can reach speeds of 300 meters per second. Hovering function activated, allowing for zero-energy hovering.]
He did not use his strength, but tried to jump lightly.
"boom!"
The air beneath my feet exploded with a shockwave, propelling me straight into the sky like a rocket, instantly reaching a height of a thousand meters!
This is only using less than half the power!
"Such powerful propulsion!" Li Hao was shocked.
In the air, he attempted to turn, stop abruptly, and change direction at high speed.
The cyborg units in his legs seemed to be completely integrated with his nervous system, and every thought could be responded to instantly.
With a slight thought, the air behind his legs distorted, creating visible ripples.
[WARNING: The mobility enhancement leg unit is 31% damaged and severely overloaded. Please repair it as soon as possible.]
The AI's notification sounded in my mind.
"How to fix it?"
[Repair requires the use of high-energy materials]
High-energy substances?
Evolution stones and magic cores should both be considered high-energy substances.
Once we get back to the community, we can try to fix it.
Li Hao landed back on the ground and then looked at the last and most crucial "high-energy particle emission arm unit".
"Binding particle arm unit".
A fleshy mass the size of half a palm flew up and, under Li Hao's control, merged into his right palm.
This time, the feeling was completely different.
A sharp burning sensation came from my arm.
It felt as if lava was flowing through my veins.
Li Hao gritted his teeth and endured it, his super resilience allowing him to quickly adapt to the change.
Three seconds later, the pain subsided, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of fullness and strength in my right arm.
He raised his right arm to examine it closely.
Intricate silver lines are faintly visible beneath the skin, extending from the shoulder to the fingertips.
When he concentrated, the skin on his right arm glowed slightly, and the flesh in the center of his palm writhed, revealing a faint point of light resembling the coalescing structure of a cannon muzzle.
[WARNING: Particle arm unit 43% damaged; current maximum output power is 57% of normal. Charging time increased to 0.8 seconds/shot; continuous firing limit is 15 shots/minute, followed by a 3-minute cooldown. Perform basic testing?]
"Test it." Li Hao said without hesitation.
He flew to the other end of the desolate valley, where there was a severely weathered rock wall, hundreds of meters high, with a hard texture.
"Test the minimum power first."
Li Hao held his right arm out horizontally, with his five fingers slightly spread.
With a thought, the light spot on the back of his hand instantly lit up, the air in front of his palm distorted, and a white ball of light the size of a billiard ball quickly condensed and then shrank.
A thin beam of light shot out.
"call out!"
The beam of light struck the rock wall.
There was no loud noise, only a soft "poof" sound.
A black hole the size of a bowl appeared on the rock wall. The hole extended to an unknown destination, its edges were as smooth as a mirror, and it emitted hot white smoke.
"The penetrating power is astonishing." A slight smile appeared on Li Hao's lips.
Finally, we have a long-range attack method.
[Minimum power mode, suitable for precision sniping. Extremely low energy consumption, allowing for continuous firing.]
"Medium power".
This time, he brought his five fingers together, and the ball of light in his palm shone even brighter.
A white beam of light, as thick as a wrist, shot out!
"boom!"
The beam struck the center of the rock wall!
The rocks within a half-meter diameter instantly vaporized and melted.
The surrounding stones were completely vitrified.
Some of the glass had not yet melted and dripped onto the ground.
With a wave of his hand, the beam of light sliced off a large chunk of a towering wall, much like a laser cutter.
The energy ball in the palm disappeared.
With a loud crash, the wall collapsed.
[Medium power mode offers the best overall performance. Single-shot energy consumption is moderate, with a balanced effect on penetration and attack range.]
That's impressive.
Excitement flashed in Li Hao's eyes: "Maximum power test!"
He took a deep breath, channeling all his energy into his right hand.
The solar battle aura resonated with the energy system of the bio-armor unit, and the silver patterns on the right arm lit up completely, emitting a dazzling white light!
The air in front of his palm twisted wildly, and a white energy ball the size of a washbasin, constantly rotating and compressing inside, quickly took shape!
A sharp buzzing sound emanated from inside the energy sphere, and the surrounding air ionized to produce blue electric arcs!
"emission!"
Li Hao let out a low shout, and his right arm trembled slightly.
"Swoosh—Boom!!!"
It was no longer a beam of light, but a torrent of pure white energy with a diameter of half a meter!
It struck the rock wall with overwhelming force!
The moment they made contact, the entire rock wall was like glass struck by a giant hammer; spiderweb-like cracks spread instantly from the center point to a range of hundreds of meters!
then,
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the entire rock wall, hundreds of meters high, completely collapsed!
Nearly half of the gravel was vaporized by the high temperature, and the rest turned into dust in the shock wave!
The ground shook violently, and smoke and dust shot into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud!
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the original rock wall had disappeared, leaving only collapsed rubble.
[Maximum power mode test complete. Warning: This shot consumed 89% of the unit's energy reserves, and caused minor burns to the right arm's biological tissue. It is recommended not to use maximum power firing again within 24 hours.]
The AI's notification tone sounded somewhat urgent.
Li Hao slowly lowered his right arm, feeling the slightly numb muscles and the slightly depleted energy reserves, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Very good. This power is enough to kill an existence at the level of a Golden Behemoth."
"No wonder they dared to stay back then."
He made a simple estimate that if a powerful strike hit head-on, the previous golden Behemoth would probably be instantly killed.
Even he would likely be seriously injured.
"Even without considering the speed of the leg units of the bio-armor, just considering the tactical assistance of the AI and this particle beam."
Li Hao clenched his fist, feeling the all-around enhancement brought about by the fusion of the implant units. "My combat power has increased by at least 50%!"
Most importantly, these bio-units seemed to resonate with his solar energy in some way.
When he circulates his battle aura, he can actually charge the bio-units.
It seems that this implant unit has also become a part of his body.
This is truly revolutionary biotechnology.
He couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Looking at the sky, it was already afternoon. "I wonder how the others are doing with their exploration."
As he was about to leave, his gaze swept over the pieces of flesh he had scattered earlier, which were still wriggling on the ground.
These weird things have an incredibly strong will to live.
"AI, what are these writhing flesh and blood things?"
Meanwhile, the patrol team members who went to patrol in other directions encountered new problems.
The forest to the east, Zhang Xiaonan's team.
Zhang Xiaonan hovered thirty meters above the forest, her psychic barrier unfolding to protect several members who were flapping their wings. Their expressions were solemn.
Below, a mutated beast was pounced on by a group of mutated beasts.
"It's a mutant monkey," one of the girls said.
"It's a mutated monkey troop."
"Roar!" With a scream, the mutated creature was torn apart by the mutated monkey troop and soon fell silent.
The mutant monkey swallowed the food rapidly.
This group of mutated apes is completely different from ordinary apes.
They are about 1.5 meters tall, covered with short, dark purple fur, with disproportionately long limbs and ten-centimeter-long black claws on their fingers and toes.
The most bizarre thing is its face; it has no nose, only three black hole-like nostrils, and its eyes are pure black with no whites.
At this moment, countless red dots of light flickered in the surrounding tree canopy.
Those were the eyes of more mutated apes.
"At least three hundred!"
After scanning with her telekinetic powers, Zhang Xiaonan's heart sank. "Look over there."
She pointed into the depths of the forest.
There, a giant ape, over three meters tall and covered in silver fur, sat perched on a fork of an ancient tree, coldly watching the battlefield.
It was surrounded by a dozen or so exceptionally strong purple-haired apes, acting as its guards.
"This is their territory," one of the girls analyzed.
"They seem to be surrounding us." Another girl saw a group of mutated monkeys gathered below them, looking up at them.
It's obvious they're after them.
If they hadn't been flying in the air, they probably would have been pounced on by this mutated monkey troop.
"Let's not go any deeper for now, let's go back and report the situation first."
As the team leader, Zhang Xiaonan hesitated for a moment before issuing the order.
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Under Zhang Xiaonan's protection, they slowly retreated.
But the apes pursued relentlessly, leaping through the canopy at an astonishing speed.
It seems they planned to hunt them after they landed.
They clearly treated them as prey.
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Xiaonan's eyes as she unleashed her full mental power!
She stretched out her right hand and clenched it tightly towards the mutated monkey troop below.
"puff!"
The dozens of mutated monkeys chasing in the lead were instantly crushed, their red blood splattering everywhere.
Because he wasn't skilled enough with telekinesis, several large trees nearby were also snapped in two by his telekinesis and collapsed with a crash.
Amazing!
Several female team members looked on with envy at the scene.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The mutated monkey troop cried out in terror.
It roared, yet retreated in fear.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the group rushed out of the edge of the forest.
Looking back, the silverback ape king was already standing at the edge of the forest.
It didn't chase after them, but instead stared coldly at them with its pure black eyes, letting out a long roar as if declaring its territory.
"It's warning us not to come back."
Zhang Xiaonan said to her teammates, panting.
Her control over her telekinesis is not yet sufficient. Using a large area of telekinesis at once would be too strenuous for her.
at the same time.
In the swamp to the south, Liu Xueqin and Wang Yi's team also encountered danger.
"Honey, watch your step!"
Wang Yi, transformed into a three-meter-tall silver Behemoth, roared.
With a single punch, he sent a nine-meter-long mutated crocodile flying as it sprang from the mud.
Liu Xueqin spread her beautiful butterfly wings and hovered above the swamp.
The powder scattered from her wings caused any poisonous insects that tried to approach to become unconscious and fall to the ground.
The mutated crocodile was also drowsy.
"It looks like something's about to come out!" a female team member exclaimed, pointing at the swamp.
"Boom!"
The mudflats a few dozen meters ahead suddenly exploded!
A gigantic figure slowly rose up.
It was an indescribable creature.
It looks like a hybrid of a giant water bug and a crustacean, magnified a hundred times.
It is over fifteen meters long and eight meters wide, covered with a dark blue-black, thick, armor-like outer shell.
At the front of its head are a pair of giant pincers, each up to four meters long, and each one is as big as a truck!
The edges of the pincers have a serrated structure and gleam with a cold metallic light.
It has a row of six red, carapace-like eyes on its head.
Its back is covered with dense bony spurs, each two meters long.
What's most terrifying is the aura it emits.
Heavy, ancient, and oppressive.
"Wang Yi, we can't fight head-on!" she shouted.
But it was too late.
The giant armored tortoise moved incredibly fast through the mud, its six thick limbs reaching Wang Yi in an instant!
The giant claw on the left slammed down like a heavy hammer!
"Roar!" Wang Yi, in his Silver Behemoth form, roared and threw a punch.
"Bang!!!"
With a deafening crash, Wang Yi was sent flying backward, crashing into three large trees before coming to a stop.
A large patch of silver hair was shaken off his arms, his skin cracked, and blood seeped out.
"Cough cough...this power..." Wang Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with horror.
Keep in mind that his strength is at least several tons.
But it couldn't stop the opponent's pincer attack.
Another giant claw of the giant carapace turtle had already swept across.
It looked like they were about to break Wang Yi in half!
