Chapter 251: Chapter 178: Blissfully Farming Dungeons!

The phantom giant moth wings flapped against the icy wind as the Ark War Chariot soared into the sky.

Ed sat at the control panel of the Shattered Star, long accustomed to its operation. In the next second, several moth drones dispersed.

Mechanical insect corpses weaved through the blizzard, and the scenes around the estate appeared on the screen in front of Ed.

The battle situation was clear at a glance.

"There are two Celestial Calamity giant insects just to your west."

Ed stared intently at the screen, placing the Messenger Block by his mouth: "They’ve all burrowed underground and are advancing towards you. Wait for my command and be ready to fire at any moment!"

"Understood." Captain Ota’s concise response was reassuring.

Although the mechanical giant insects could burrow into the ground, creating considerable disturbance, they clearly couldn’t drill too deep, and their speed wasn’t fast either.

In everyone’s perception, a hair-raising rumble subtly echoed from the distant surface of the ground.

For ordinary people, the burrowing mechanical giant insects could effortlessly tear apart their shelters, and the oppressive feeling brought by the approaching Celestial Calamity was truly despairing.

But in Ed’s eyes, these two iron-shell beasts were simply the best live targets!

"Now’s the time!"

Ed saw the rising mounds enter the warriors’ range and shouted angrily, "Fire at the location I marked!!"

The light cannon launched from the side of the Shattered Star instantly struck the ground, trailing a conspicuous path even in the weather of extremely low visibility.

Hit!

Under Ota’s lead, the warriors uniformly raised their hand cannons, aiming at the position indicated by the Ark War Chariot.

Boom boom boom boom!

In the next instant, one solar light cannon after another ruthlessly pierced the earth, and brilliant beams erupted from the ground’s crevices. With two horrific screeches, several bizarrely shaped insect body parts were immediately blasted into the sky.

The violent offensive of the mechanical giant insects came to an abrupt halt.

[Holy Spirit Points +2]

The system’s notification sounded like celestial music, as the soul of the Celestial Calamity, parasitizing deeply within the steel, was instantly devoured by the Foreigner’s power!

Lin Lan nodded in satisfaction.

Under the influence of the Messenger Block, the overall combat power of the Sun Legion had visibly enhanced! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Compared to the last hurried and embarrassed encounter, this time’s dungeon crawl, whether in terms of the speed of killing giant insects or maintaining their own tranquility, had reached a new level!

With a swift gesture, Jay skillfully pushed a piece of Sun Ore into the power furnace at his chest, instantly replenishing the ammunition consumption.

This time, the intact Lord’s estate stored ample supplies, and the stored Sun Ore was being temporarily transported to the surface by the citizens sheltering in the estate’s underground, digging with all their might in the simulated environment with life and death on the line.

The swarm of Celestial Calamity insects around Seagull City had already been provoked!

The sound of steel feet scraping echoed one after another, as dozens of hideous insects decisively gave up on the survivors hiding underground to address the sudden and troubling threat before them!

The tall Sun Warriors remained unfazed, standing in front of the citizens, awaiting their superior’s command like steadfast rocks amidst the sea waves.

"Jay, Glen, lead your people and engage alternately. The enemy’s specific positions are located at..."

A calm and steady voice resounded in the helmets of the warriors.

Following Ed’s instructions, Jay exhaled a breath of white air, drew the giant sword from his back, and the light wings behind the warriors fully extended in the blizzard!

From Abyss Knights to Pure Beauty’s floral branches and now to the mechanical giant insects before them, they had ample experience in engaging Celestial Calamity monsters head-on!

Jay took the lead in confronting the nearest mechanical giant insect heading for the estate.

The light wings behind the Sun Legion Commander almost dragged a luminous trail, as Jay nearly stuck against the giant insect’s body, flying all the way to the opponent’s head.

With the monsters’ hideous sharp-toothed mouthparts just inches away, Jay suddenly got a clear view of the small remnants of human bodies hanging from the sharp steel. His mind buzzed, and furious veins of blood surfaced in his eyes.

So, Lord Lin Lan had always been facing these despairing futures...

You disgusting iron-shell beasts! Die!

Jay roared, wielding his sword with both hands and swinging down with all his might!

At that moment, the image of himself endlessly wielding the giant sword in the Sun Mine overlapped with reality.

Clang!

In everyone’s sight, a hideous giant head plummeted to the ground amidst the snowstorm, and that shimmer glow inspired everyone’s morale!

Gazing at the giant insect’s corpse before him, Jay panted heavily, realizing his shortcomings in real combat.

Actually, I shouldn’t have wasted so much energy by using excessive force...

Jay adjusted his breathing, locked onto the next target with his fellow warriors, and said coldly, "Keep advancing, leave no one behind!"

"Yes, Legion Commander!"

The warriors shouted angrily in unison, transforming into merciless harvesting machines as they passed through the blizzard. The Nightmare machines of various sizes were forcibly disassembled into fragments by Ash Soil Weapons blazing with light flames.

Under such efficient and ruthless counterattacks, the swooping Nightmare insect swarm was utterly taken aback. In no time, the ground was nearly covered with heaps of silver steel materials, reflecting enticing gleams in the cold wind.

Seagull City’s ’future outcome’ had thus been reversed by the Foreigner’s army.

"Yes! Yes! Give them a good beating, meow!"

Witnessing the scene before them, the black cat held by Bai excitedly meowed, and the corners of Lin Lan’s mouth also curved into a smile.

Since traversing through hardship and carefully accumulating resources, he finally experienced the joy of sweeping dungeons!

"Lin Lan, Lin Lan! Shouldn’t we take action too?" the Blond Witch beside him was evidently eager.

Simultaneously, Ed’s voice emerged from the Messenger Block.

"Lord Lin Lan, the threats around the estate have been temporarily cleared. You can now begin collecting vital materials with your people."

He said in a deep voice, "But our time is limited; the Celestial Calamity insect swarm may counterattack at any moment. Lady Eleanor, please use your racial ability to assist and cover Lord Lin Lan’s actions."

"Leave it to me!"

The Dragon Lady grinned and unfurled her black wings. She acknowledged Ed’s commanding abilities, though the performance of the Sun Warriors in killing was remarkable, her expertise was more suited for plundering.

Lin Lan, naturally, wouldn’t miss the valuable opportunities the warriors had secured for him. He hopped onto Lucia’s vehicle, speeding directly towards the nearest insect corpse, as the girl’s joyful laughter resonated.

In the simulation, the Feis youngsters also followed the Ark Leader closely, driving Light-Seeking Vehicles.

Upon reaching the destination, the vehicles driven by the bionic maids made light work of hoisting the heavy steel materials, deftly binding them with chains from the corpses to the tails of the Light-Seeking Vehicles.

"Three! Two! One! Start pulling!"

Lin Lan issued the command through the Messenger Block. The young people simultaneously turned their vehicles’ heads, and Eleanor flapped her black wings in the sky, with the dark wind aiding the golden vehicles’ push.

The group began ambitiously transporting the massive mechanical insect shells to and from the estate through snow and wind.

As if coordinating with the Foreigner, a gigantic cycloptic rift gently opened on the estate’s clearing in the surprise-stricken eyes of everyone, voluntarily swallowing the giant insect’s carcass.

Well done!

The corners of Lin Lan’s mouth parted into a grin.

This haul from the Ark was truly lucrative!
