"So disgusting." Kiki said in surprise at this moment, "How could these things mark us with Level 4?"

"Whether it’s a group or just one, the scale of this thing has reached the special level standard, and it can turn invisible. It looks like it’s going to be tough to deal with!" Lin Xian’s forehead was sweating, as he put away the gravitational lens with a serious expression.

If it were just one, he was absolutely confident in dealing with it in a short time. After all, he had tested his supercritical diffraction sword before, which, as long as aimed well, would have no problem slaying monsters below S-level.

But now, looking at the densely writhing ’insect wall’, Lin Xian realized that things were not looking good.

At this moment, those black insects had almost spread over half the geothermal well dome, covering the red-hot rock wall into a black-gray color. Then, those insect snakes turned their eyeless heads towards Lin Xian and Kiki’s direction, as if they were preparing to release something!

[Spirit Vibration Value rising, attack warning!]

"Missy, get back here!" Sensing the danger as well, Lin Xian immediately shouted at Kiki.

Viola was maneuvering all drones to converge; the Iron Curtain drones opened the defense shield, precisely forming a giant metal hemisphere above Lin Xian and Kiki’s heads. At the same moment, as Kiki flew back, Lin Xian also quickly activated the AT force field shield, then opened the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring to enlarge the force field shield!

Right then, millions of black insect snakes on the rock wall dome suddenly erupted with a high-energy dark energy surge, countless silver-green threads, nearly invisible to the naked eye, shot towards Lin Xian’s direction. Those threads were like liquid jets, extremely hard to detect. But as they neared the center and the density increased, a misty wave appeared outside the drone defense cover, bombarding the Iron Curtain drones’ defense shield.

At this moment, only a huge muffled sound of "hissing" was heard; the Iron Curtain shield, forged from high-strength metal, along with the drones, was instantly dissolved by this attack screen formed by millions of jet threads. As if erased by high energy, it vanished without a trace, and those dense threads, when impacting Lin Xian’s AT force field shield, caused a nearly eardrum-shattering empty blast in the previously silent space!

Boom!

Silver light exploded; at this instant, Lin Xian’s AT force field shield flickered sharply, and he felt his electricity almost drained. In a reflex action, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring immediately brightened with three rainbow rings, only then blocking that massive surge.

By that time, the Iron Curtain drones, instantly dissolved, had left only countless metal fragments falling like rain.

"What a freakish jet!"

At this point, Lin Xian’s heart pounded rapidly; the special-level attack power was indeed not to be underestimated. This unprecedented method of attack had dealt him a significant blow. Even hiding in the Infinity would be unbearable without an AT force field shield, and now Lin Xian regretted not having called Brother Huo or Ryuji, but it was too late.

"Oh my, your drones..."

KIKI was immediately anxious, and without her VK electric knife in this urgent moment, she glanced at the scorching magma below, let out a soft cry, and raised her hand to use telekinesis to lift a large, fiery lump of magma from the churning geothermal shaft, tossing it upward. This little sun-like magma ball illuminated the geothermal well with a blinding light, sending waves of heat, and KIKI gritted her teeth fiercely, raising her right fist to use telekinesis and slam into the magma ball!

Bang!

The telekinetic punch, with a force of ten thousand tons, hit the magma ball, as if striking a firework, instantly scattering the high-temperature magma extensively onto the dome and rock wall!

Whoosh!

The next moment, the magma rained down like a storm, covering most insect snakes clinging to the rock wall dome. For a while, the green biological force field shield flickered frantically, igniting the entire rock wall; many insect snakes burned and fell like rain, writhing in the air, dropping into the magma below.

Lin Xian didn’t expect Kiki to pull off such a move, which seemed quite effective at the time. But as he looked up, the rock wall still had countless insect snakes clinging to it, and eerily enough, after killing so many insect snakes, the dark mark detection device on his and KIKI’s power armor still flickered with the light of a Level 4 mark.

At that moment, Lin Xian realized that what was in front of him could very well be some kind of independent life-form, perhaps needing complete annihilation or a specific ’main body’ might exist.

"Lin... Lin Xian, hiss"

The signal affected by the geothermal well intermittently carried Chen Sixuan’s voice: "Over here... there’s a situation, we found..."

"Teacher Chen?" Chen Sixuan’s voice tightened Lin Xian’s heart; he looked at the thickly converging black insects overhead, realizing a crisis was happening both underwater and outside. Whatever this thing was, it needed to be resolved quickly.

"Lin Xian, what do we do?" Seeing the situation, KIKI also felt overwhelmed, her face changing.

[I have run optical visual scans with all drones, and scanned 316,508 equivalent entity organisms, excluding those already eliminated and possibly existing unmanifest organisms in the corridor.]

Viola calmly reported to Lin Xian: [The Thunder Falcon 2000 pulse drones currently only have 914 units left; assuming no biological force field, it will take me at least 173 seconds to clear all.]

Swoosh swoosh!

While Viola calculated, all Thunder Falcon drones had already begun firing fully, accurately capturing each insect snake. Under the sweep of the red pulse beam, numerous insect snakes continually dropped down.

Viola constantly corrected, standing in front of Lin Xian at the same time [Clean-up rate 45.1%, time needs to be doubled, through the organism’s spirit vibration value fluctuation, I suspect there might be a control core similar to my own in existence, searching with full effort]

"No time left."

Lin Xian’s gaze scanned around, decisively saying, "By the time we finish killing this thing, the abnormal body outside would already be rushing in."

Having said that, he looked at KIKI, "There’s no time, let Viola hold them off. KIKI, dig out the reactor!"

"Not worried about the mark?" KIKI was taken aback.

"Let’s gamble!" Lin Xian’s gaze swept across the geothermal well, sternly saying, "Just blow this place up, no matter how many monsters come, let’s just go with life and death together, it will definitely clear the mark."

"Wouldn’t that mean we’re done for?" Kiki’s eyes widened.

Lin Xian looked at KIKI, "Have you forgotten how we escaped from White City?"

"You mean..."

KIKI realized immediately, and without hesitating, she directly flew out, hovering above the boiling magma pool, pressing down her arms fiercely! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Boom!

The telekinesis field formed into giant palms, plunging into the surging magma. Below, the titanium alloy exterior of the geothermal core reactor emitted a piercing groan in the magma, and the thousand-ton pillar structure was forcibly pulled up, with spilled magma waterfall pouring over the insect snake group like tears of blood, evaporating into a stinking fog wall.

"Hold for 30 seconds."

Lin Xian ordered Viola and then leaped down, the Mechanical Heart roaring, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring fully open, blue-white data streams sprayed from his pupils, transforming into tangible cubic grids that enveloped the reactor, directly overlaying the Dragon-type shipborne reactor configuration on top.

Then Lin Xian waved his hand, the mechanical arm reached out from the Black Star Forge Space, a high-energy laser beam cutting open the reactor shell, the internal honeycomb structure fuel rod array exposed to the scorching air, as his fingertip touched the central control module, light-golden lines spread like living creatures, converting the original geothermal conversion constraint field into a chain reaction catalyst.

"Chain reaction catalyst loading 99%... Warning! Biological energy reaction breaching threshold!" Viola’s alarm sounded simultaneously with the roar from the rock dome - the thirty thousand remaining insect snakes suddenly formed into a twenty-meter diameter drill bit, trailing silver-green poison spikes as they plummeted!

"Go!" Lin Xian quickly covered the reactor with metal material, then shouted to KIKI.

"How do you plan to detonate, it needs a critical reaction?"

Lin Xian turned back with a fierce look: "I have a large ’detonator’, manual timing can just buy us some time."

"Detonator?"

Buzz buzz!

At that point, KIKI looked up to see, from above in Lin Xian’s Black Star Forge mechanical door’s lightning storm, a white giant missile slowly emerged, her pupils shrank.

"Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannon!?"

"This will absolutely trigger the fusion chain reaction." Lin Xian’s gaze lighted fiercely, "For an eruption of this scale, we’ll likely have to shoot out from an erupting volcano."
