Chapter 264 The Ancient Gods Slumber and Return to Silence
Lu Yan looked down at his palm.
The bronze fragments lay in his palm.
The edges of the fragments were a bit sharp.
The patina on the surface has completely faded.
The dark gold patterns were exposed to the air.
These patterns form a complex totem.
[System notification: Obtained the 'Mark of the Warlord'.]
The ancient Chinese god has exhausted its resources and entered a period of dormancy.
The pale blue system panel popped open on my retina.
Lu Yan closed the panel.
He stuffed the fragments into the slots of his tactical belt.
The card slot made a slight clicking sound.
The battle is over.
A gust of wind swept across the ruins.
The wind carried the smell of gunpowder and earth.
The first squad dispersed.
They began cleaning up the battlefield.
The ground was covered with high-dimensional crystals.
These crystals exhibit irregular polyhedral shapes.
The sunlight shone on it.
It refracts a blinding white light.
The bones of angels were mixed in with the rubble.
The surface of the bone is covered with cracks.
Zhao Leiguang walked up to a huge stone slab.
Beneath the stone slab lay a pile of high-dimensional crystals.
He removed the two Taotie shields.
He gripped the edge of the shield with both hands.
They mistook the shield for a shovel.
The base of the shield was inserted into the pile of rubble.
He exerted force with both arms.
The soil and stones were pushed aside.
A pile of crystals was shoveled up.
Crystals collide with each other.
It makes a crisp sound.
He poured the crystals into his tactical backpack.
The backpack was bulging.
The zipper is almost impossible to zip up.
He glanced down at the armor he was wearing.
The Earth Pulse suit is covered in scratches.
In some places, it even dented.
The residue of divine blood seeped into these scratches.
The metallic coating on the armor surface began to creep.
The scratches were filled in.
The dented area bulged up again.
The armor was restored to its original smoothness.
"This blood is actually quite useful."
Zhao Lei patted his breastplate.
The metal made a dull sound.
Wen Yue sat on a broken stone pillar.
She placed the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow on her lap.
She took a piece of velvet from her pocket.
They began wiping the dust off the crossbow.
The spent casings of specially made armor-piercing rounds were scattered at her feet.
She bent down and picked up the spent cartridge.
Put them in a recycling bag.
She pulled the bolt.
Remove the residue from the gun barrel.
A new armor-piercing round is then inserted.
The magazine is inserted into the groove.
It makes a clicking sound.
Lin Chuxue was biting on a lollipop.
The candy stick swirled around in her mouth.
She scratched at the ground with the Blood Pool Howling Staff.
They pulled out a complete piece of holy light crystal.
She kicked the crystal with her toe.
The crystal rolled to Su Yunqing's feet.
Su Yunqing is recovering her mana.
She sat on the ground.
Yao Guang's staff rested across his lap.
She glanced at the crystal that was rolling towards her.
Ignored it.
Her mana was slowly recovering on her tactics panel.
The value jumps from single digits to two digits.
Shen Xinglin walked to a broken stone sculpture.
The stone sculpture was originally an angel.
Now only half of the wings remain.
He leaned his ever-changing lance against the stone sculpture.
He took off the gloves of the mobile armor.
Press your fingers on the joints of the armor.
The coolant lines were reconnected.
The white steam stopped being emitted.
He put his gloves back on.
Grasp the lance.
Xiao Qianyu walked up to a pool of golden divine blood.
The divine blood is still corroding the ground.
She inserted the blade of the Dragon King's Halberd.
The dark golden metal came into contact with the divine blood.
It makes a hissing sound.
The impurities at the gap were dissolved by divine blood.
She drew her halberd.
He rubbed it on the gravel.
The halberd blade became sharp again.
She carried the halberd on her back.
The sound of rotors spinning could be heard from the sky.
Several transport helicopters broke through the clouds.
The helicopter hovered above the ruins.
The propeller churned up the sand and soil on the ground.
Sand and dirt hit the tactical armor.
It makes a rustling sound.
The rope was thrown down from the cabin.
Ling Shuang grabbed the rope.
She slid down the rope.
Tactical boots firmly planted on the ground.
She loosened the rope.
The members of the third detachment followed closely behind.
They were carrying rifles.
The gun barrel is pointing downwards.
They dispersed in tactical formation.
The airflow is very strong when a helicopter lands.
The wind blew up the dust on the ground.
Ling Shuang's hair was blown into a mess.
She tucked her hair behind her ear with her hand.
She walked up to Lu Yan.
The tactical tablet was handed over.
The screen displays a map of the clearing route.
All the red markers have turned green.
Lu Yan took the tablet.
Slide your finger across the screen.
Each coordinate has been confirmed.
He returned the tablet to Ling Shuang.
"The peripheral aberrations have been eliminated."
Ling Shuang reports.
No high-dimensional energy residue was found.
Lu Yan nodded.
"Bring the engineers in."
The main force of the expeditionary force arrived one after another.
Tracked engineering vehicles drove into the ruins.
The tracks rolled over the gravel.
It made a harsh, grinding sound.
The construction vehicle was parked in the center of the ruins.
The robotic arm unfolds.
The engineering corps entered the site.
They set up a cordon.
Yellow warning tape fluttered in the wind.
Several small excavators drove into the ruins.
Clear out a level foundation.
The alloy supports were driven into the ground one by one.
The pile driver emitted a dull thud.
The ground shook with the impact.
The base of the jamming tower has been secured.
The crane lifts the tower.
The tower slowly descended.
Connect with the base.
The engineering soldiers tightened the bolts with wrenches.
The sparks from the welding torch illuminated their protective masks.
The antenna at the top of the tower is deployed.
The red indicator light started flashing.
The frequency is getting faster and faster.
Finally, it became constantly lit.
Europe's latitudinal coordinates were forcibly anchored.
The pathway for the penetration of higher-dimensional energy has been cut off.
Lu Yan accessed the tactical terminal.
The screen displays the operating data of the jamming tower.
All indicators are in the green light.
He pressed the communication button for the entire army.
"Mission accomplished."
"Prepare for evacuation."
Ten Kunpeng transport aircraft adjusted their course in the stratosphere.
The engine spewed out exhaust flames.
They wait above the clouds.
The helicopter door opened.
The first squad began boarding.
An entrance to a basement on the edge of the ruins.
The stone slab was pushed aside.
A withered hand reached out.
Fingers gripping the edge of the stone slab.
Push upwards with force.
The stone slab lay overturned to one side.
It kicked up a cloud of dust.
One after another, the men in black robes crawled out.
Their shoes were on the gravel.
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
The crystals on the back of their heads were flashing white light.
White light shone through the fabric of the black robe.
Their eyes were bloodshot.
He held a rusty iron sword and a broken staff in his hands.
The leader walked at the very front.
His black robe was stained with dark red blood.
There is no eyeball in the hole of the left eye.
There was only a clump of wriggling flesh.
He held a black detonator in his hand.
A red wire extends from the bottom of the detonator.
The wire was dragging on the ground.
It extends all the way into the depths of the basement.
Directly below the church ruins.
The pool of holy blood was not destroyed.
The pool water was a viscous, dark red color.
Bubbles are rising from the surface.
The bubble burst.
It emitted a pungent, bloody smell.
The leader stopped in his tracks.
He raised the detonator in his hand.
Press your thumb on the red button.
"Chinese people".
The leader spoke.
The pronunciation was a bit stiff.
A hissing sound came from his throat.
"Hand over the blueprints."
He pointed to Lu Yan's tactical belt.
"Otherwise, I will detonate the Holy Blood Pool."
"The energy inside is enough to flatten this place."
"None of you are leaving."
The fanatics took up arms.
The iron sword was pointed at the helicopter.
A faint holy light shone from the tip of the staff.
They stood in front of the helicopter.
Zhao Leiguang pulled out the Taotie Double Shields from his backpack.
The shield slammed into the ground.
An earthy yellow light shone.
He stood in front of the helicopter door.
Wen Yue picked up the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow.
The scope was placed over the leader's head.
The index finger rests on the trigger.
Lin Chuxue spat the candy stick onto the ground.
The Blood Pool Howling Staff struck the rubble.
A dark red magic circle formed beneath their feet.
Xiao Qianyu drew the Dragon King's Halberd.
The dark gold halberd blade was pointed at the leader.
Su Yunqing stood up.
Yao Guang bestowed the magic staff across his chest.
A silver-white shield enveloped the entire team.
Lu Yan raised his hand.
The team members' actions were stopped.
He looked at the leader.
He didn't speak.
He didn't even touch the belt.
He raised his right hand.
Palms down.
Spread your five fingers.
then.
Press it down.
There are no energy fluctuations.
There was no sound.
The fanatic leader was shorter than usual.
His bones were crushed by an invisible pressure.
Fresh blood flowed from the seven orifices.
The detonator fell to the ground.
He lay face down on the rubble.
The fanatics who followed were not spared either.
Their bodies were crushed.
The black robe was soaked in blood.
There was a layer of minced meat on the ground.
Lu Yan withdrew his hand.
"Walk."
He turned and walked toward the helicopter.
