Chapter 997 - 507: Supreme Treasure’s 100% Damage Reflection (2)

For the Lan shi People, they are extremely reluctant to accept the rise of Eastern Great Xia, despite it being a globally recognized fact now.

In a certain sense, the Lan shi Kingdom’s procurement of Tianfu Craft Exoskeletons from Great Xia, spending a large sum to modify them beyond recognition, only to see their performance actually degrade, is a reflection of this subtle mentality.

Bond glanced at the swarm of Poisonous Ants and issued an order: "Deploy fifty Raptor Drones to attack the Poisonous Ants."

"Yes!"

The Raptor Drone is a fully electric UAV, over 1.5 meters long, with a wingspan of up to 2.5 meters.

Although not large, its advanced black technology propulsion system gives it a payload capacity of up to a ton.

A fully loaded Raptor Drone can be equipped with 4 small missiles and 8 guided rockets, and its belly features a machine gun.

In the eyes of the Great xia People, this device’s performance is quite standard.

Due to its low price and simple manufacturing, the military’s procurement quantity is measured in "millions," and its only advantage is—plenty in quantity.

But to the Lan shi People, the Raptor Drone is incredibly useful, with fierce firepower and capable of both automatic attack and control via Metal Nerves.

Bond’s eyes were filled with envy: "If only it were a drone produced by us."

However, he knew that even if the Lan shi Kingdom obtained the entire set of technologies, the cost would still be at least five times that of Great Xia, even ten times was not out of the question.

Because the industrial capacity of Great Xia is terrifyingly overwhelming.

"Boom! Boom!"

Explosions rang out.

These were the missiles fired by the Raptor Drones exploding.

Yet, the Poisonous Ants generally have extremely hard exoskeletons, and these missiles are standard, not powerful Spiritual Ability Weapons. While the missiles might damage them, it would be hard to kill them.

Dozens of Raptor Drones flew over, beginning to spray the ground with their machine guns.

Soon after,

The Poisonous Ants retaliated.

They let out a "hiss" sound, opened their mandibles, and sprayed clouds of toxic mist, rapidly spanning three kilometers, continuously changing direction mid-flight to accurately hit the Raptor Drones.

From the control, it was clearly intentional to "present" the drones to the Poisonous Ants’ mouths.

The corrosive effect of the toxic mist was frighteningly strong, as soon as the Raptor Drones were touched by it, holes of varying sizes appeared on their bodies.

One by one, the drones plummeted downward.

Bond didn’t feel distressed at all, but instead chuckled to himself: "Anyway, Great Xia claims a single country’s industrial production exceeds that of all other countries, so I’ll help Great Xia consume, oh no, create an opportunity to increase industrial capacity."

The malice in his words was blatant.

At this point,

The swarm of Poisonous Ants finally noticed the Lan shi People.

They charged in groups through the bombardment of missiles and guided rockets.

Bond shouted directly: "Guys, the merit points are here for the taking, hit them hard!"

Just as he finished speaking,

He suddenly sensed a warning from some mysterious presence.

Bond paused for a moment, hastily yelled, "Everyone pay attention to the ground!"

But it was too late.

Just as the word "attention" was uttered, beneath several exoskeletons, the solid concrete weirdly turned into soft mud, and the exoskeletons sank in.

At the same time,

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Accompanied by sharp screeches,

A dark silhouette darted out from the mud like lightning, swinging blade-like forearms, furiously slashing at the exoskeletons.

One could see, at the blade’s edge, a faint layer of dim light clinging around.

"Clang! Clang!"

The Lan shi People’s heavily fortified "super alloy" armor for the exoskeletons, claimed to be extremely resilient, was no different from paper against the blade arms of the Poisonous Ants, easily cleaved through.

The Lan shi Superpower Users piloting the exoskeletons couldn’t even react in time; they were either gutted or decapitated instantly.

The wound sites quickly turned black, oozing foul-smelling pus, clearly the blade arms were venomous.

From the targeted locations of the Poisonous Ants’ attacks, it was apparent that they weren’t slashing randomly but had studied it beforehand.

In that moment,

Twenty-two out of a hundred Lan shi Superpower Users died on the spot, with fourteen grievously injured, their survival chances close to none.

Charles, who had been calling them "yellow-skin monkeys",

Bond was suddenly shocked.

Faced with this rapidly deteriorating situation, his heart was filled with fear and utter confusion.

How did it turn out this way?

It was only then that this deputy chief began to regret not heeding the advice of the Great xia People to evacuate from the Space Island.

"Squeak!"

Two Poisonous Ants locked onto Bond, coming from the left and right with astonishing speed.

This type of Poisonous Ant had a very noticeable feature—they had no eyes.

They were called "Eyeless Poisonous Ants", living underground in the Black Sand Sea all their lives without ever emerging.

That’s why the Iron Fist People explored the Sea of Death Black Sand for decades, yet had no idea of the existence of such Poisonous Ants.

The data on the Poisonous Ants, publicly provided by the Great Xia command to the Pioneer Alliance member states, made no mention of the Eyeless Poisonous Ants.

This was also the first time the Eyeless Poisonous Ants had entered a space battlefield.

However,

Yang Fan knew about the Eyeless Poisonous Ants.

The two Spirit Crows also knew of these Eyeless Poisonous Ants.

Originally, according to Yang Fan’s plan, the Eyeless Poisonous Ants were left for S1 to S6 Space Islands for "internal digestion", as they yield two valuable First level Exotic Materials.

One of them comes from the blade arms, from which a material can be extracted, inputting a Strong Manifestation into it could trigger a kind of sharpness.

This Exotic Material is called—Blade Gold.

The reason Eyeless Poisonous Ants cut through exoskeletons like slicing through fruit is due to the effect of Blade Gold.

The other is brain matter.

Their brains can extract a component used to refine "Blindness Sensing Potion".

After consuming the potion, even in an environment with no light whatsoever, the mind can "see" the surroundings clearly.

Now that the Lan shi People have arrived, and with Bond, who allegedly owns a Supreme Treasure, the two Spirit Crows decisively invited this group of Eyeless Poisonous Ants to the scene.

Black Star laughed: "This is a life-and-death crisis, Bond should use the Supreme Treasure."

Flashing Thorn flapped its wings: "As long as he doesn’t want to die, he will definitely use it."

After half a second,

The event the two Spirit Crows hoped for finally occurred.

Bond suddenly let out a wild roar and leaped out of the exoskeleton, then he forcefully pounded his chest with a "bang".

A strange event unfolded.

A full-body metal shield mysteriously appeared in his hand, over 1.5 meters tall, with intricate engravings on its surface.

From its appearance, it looked very much like an artifact from the Lan shi Kingdom’s medieval times.

Flashing Thorn shouted excitedly, "It really is a Supreme Treasure!"

This shield appeared out of nowhere, and Bond couldn’t have had Space Equipment, so the only answer was—Supreme Treasure.

Since Supreme Treasures are essentially an evolution of a strand of Law, they can be directly integrated into the soul, making it possible for the equipment to be absorbed into the body.

"Boom!"

A strange dull sound was heard.

The full-body shield suddenly turned phantom-like, though its engravings remained solid, giving it a peculiar appearance.

Bond gripped the full-body shield with both hands and stepped forward, fearlessly facing the two Eyeless Poisonous Ants.

The two Poisonous Ants swung their blade arms simultaneously, fiercely striking at the full-body shield, as if intending to slice it in two.

"Bang! Bang!"

The full-body shield was struck.

The next moment,

The two Spirit Crows witnessed a bizarre scene.

The full-body shield remained unscathed, with not the slightest mark on its engraved surface.

The foreheads of the two Eyeless Poisonous Ants suddenly manifested an extremely fine seam.

Their movements froze suddenly.

Bond let out a wild laugh, gripping the full-body shield with his left hand, and striking directly at an Eyeless Poisonous Ant with his right fist.

The Poisonous Ant stayed motionless, bearing the punch.

"Boom~"

Half of its head fell off, splattering its colorful brain matter all over, and its corpse toppled over.

The pupils of Spirit Crow Black Star were filled with shock: "This is 100% damage reflection!"

Undoubtedly, the damage was reflected, which is why the Eyeless Poisonous Ant’s head was cleaved as if it had killed itself.

Flashing Thorn was extremely excited: "Do it! Extract Bond’s soul!"
