Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 790 The stronger, the weaker
"Boom!"

Along with the tremors of the seabed, the water in the entire sea area was stirred.

The thick sky-high horn pierced the base from below, and then destroyed every floor of the base.

A loud bang exploded in all directions along with countless broken buildings, splashing out cavities in the sea water.

At this moment, a golden-red light shot out from the wreckage of the building and reached the seawater about a hundred meters above the base in the blink of an eye. It was Li Yun who flew out of the base with Lu Ying and Dr. Schmidt.

In the turbulent deep sea water, Li Yun grabbed Lu Ying and Dr. Schmidt, and a golden-red shield with a diameter of three meters was propped up on his body. He frowned at the crumbling base below and the thorn. The steel horn that penetrated the entire base.

As one of the most important bases of Category 9 Affairs Company, Base No. 3 is naturally quite large.

The part of the base exposed above the seabed alone is five hundred meters high, comparable to the second tallest building in the world.

But such a magnificent building can only surpass the unicorn, and cannot be compared with the body of the giant beast under the unicorn.

At the same time, on the way out of the base, Li Yun discovered that the horn not only pierced the base, but also continuously absorbed the base wall, making the horn stronger.

"What the hell is this?"

"Then I'm a little confused..."

Li Yun complained: "In the final analysis, you should not expand the base, let alone transfer so many abnormalities."

Dr. Schmidt smiled bitterly and said: "1-017's mental state has always been very stable, and the organization has been sending people to monitor it. The psychic abnormality that was originally contained in it was placed next door, always ready to appease its mental state."

Dr. Schmidt looked down and said with a dull expression: "1-017, code name [Iron-gnawing Beast]..."

Li Yun frowned and said, "Crimson Devil?"

"To be honest, I can't figure out how it broke through containment at all..."

"...To be exact, 1-017 can absorb all types of metals. As long as any metal touches its body, it will be absorbed by it and then completely turn into a part of the body."

"This is the predecessor of Base Three..."

Hearing Dr. Schmidt's slightly numb words, Li Yun couldn't help but have black lines on his head.

"This guy is the first anomaly contained in Base 3, and is one of the fundamental reasons why Base 3 is built on the seabed."

Although 1-017 is not a true iron-gnawing beast, it does possess the ability to eat iron.

Dr. Schmidt sighed: "When we discovered it, it had already hid in the mountains and absorbed a huge amount of mineral veins, turning into a behemoth with a body length of more than three thousand meters."

"With such a huge monster, coupled with the ability to absorb metal, all conventional human methods can no longer contain it."

"Yes."

"You mean, there is something like this sleeping underneath Base 3?"

Li Yun was filled with dark thoughts and couldn't help complaining: "You guys are so big-hearted!"

Dr. Schmidt said without hesitation: "It's impossible. The depth of that abnormal containment object far exceeds that of the Crimson Demon. The spiritual slumber caused by it is absolutely impossible to be awakened by the Crimson Demon."

"So, we used a psychic containment object to put it into a permanent sleep. Then, the company chose the deep seabed as its shelter, and built a place where it slept to monitor 1- 017 base for psychoactive levels.”

This name is taken from the Chinese "Shenyi Jing·Zhonghuang Jing": "There is a beast in the south. Its horns are as big as a foot, shaped like a buffalo, and its fur is as black as paint. It eats iron and drinks water. Its dung can be used as a weapon, and its sharpness is like steel. It is called Grinding iron.”

Li Yun couldn't help but ask.

Dr. Schmidt shook his head and said: "You don't know that this sea area itself is an anomaly. Centered on the site of Base 3, the sea area with a radius of thirty kilometers has an effect similar to 'weak water'."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: There is water in the north of Kunlun, but its power cannot beat the mustard, so it is called weak water.

Above the weak water, a feather cannot float and cannot be crossed.

In the eyes of Category 9 Affairs Company, this sea area is a natural area for containment measures and suppression. Even if an abnormality breaks through the containment, there is no way to escape from the sea.

Hearing this, Li Yun couldn't help but frowned tightly.

"Since this sea area has a weak water effect, how are the base personnel who left the safe exit doing now?"

"You are worried about Li An." Dr. Schmidt glanced at him and shook his head. "Don't worry, all non-combatants below the supervisor level will enter 4-367."

"It's a crystal ball with snow falling inside. There's a miniature continent inside. That's the shelter of Base 3."

"If I remember correctly, you have taken out something similar, right?"

Li Yun nodded and finally knew where Li An and others were.

No wonder they didn't see a single researcher along the way...

Li Yun asked: "What about non-combatants above the supervisor level?"

Dr. Schmidt said calmly: "Except for me, the other eight people should have been wiped out by the movement just now."

Li Yun: "..."

"You two, stop talking. The most urgent thing is to think about how to deal with this guy!"

Lu Ying couldn't help but speak, interrupting the exchange between the two.

Li Yun came back to his senses and looked down at the huge beast that had destroyed the entire base. As Dr. Schmidt said, this steel monster is more than three thousand meters long, and is covered with metal. It looks like a bull with a single horn, but its limbs are thicker in proportion and look stockier. mighty.

After breaking through the containment, the steel behemoth's horn grew three points longer.

The metal absorbed from the base flows on its body like water and spreads throughout its body at an extremely fast speed, causing the width and thickness of its entire body to simultaneously increase by three points.

At the same time, Li Yun also discovered that the many metal holding chambers swallowed by the Iron Grinding Beast did not disappear, but adhered to various parts of the Iron Grinding Beast's body as the metal flowed.

In other words, the current Grinding Beast is the walking base No. 3!
Li Yun immediately told Dr. Schmidt about his discovery.

Dr. Schmidt couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Fortunately, okay, most of the areas in Base 3 are made of metal. Now at least you don't have to worry about more anomalies breaking through containment. As long as you find the psychic containment object, you can..."

"Why bother."

Li Yun interrupted Dr. Schmidt and asked with a smile: "Are you sure that the Iron-gnawing Beast has no other ability besides absorbing metal?"

Dr. Schmidt nodded in confusion: "Of course, at least in the decades we have contained it, we have not discovered any other characteristics."

"However, even if it only absorbs metal and has a huge body, it is enough to make it the most difficult anomaly to contain."

"With its exaggerated size of more than two thousand meters, and its ability to absorb metal and continue to grow, its mere existence will make it a natural disaster that humans cannot ignore. Its breathing is like a hurricane, and its walking is like an earthquake..."

Before Dr. Schmidt finished speaking, Li Yun couldn't help laughing.

Dr. Schmidt was startled for a moment, then seemed to remember something and looked at Li Yun with wide eyes.

He almost forgot that the person in front of him was a powerful humanoid anomaly with the title of [Demon King of World Destruction]!

The previous battle scene where he was restrained by the flame-devouring vines made him subconsciously misjudge Li Yun's strength.

Looking back now, for Li Yun, the simple and powerful character of the iron-biting beast is actually the easiest character for him to deal with!
"give it to me!"

Li Yun raised his hand and patted Dr. Schmidt on the shoulder, leaving him and Lu Ying in the energy shield, and then flew towards the giant beast on the bottom of the sea.

During the flight, hot energy surged throughout his body, constantly evaporating the surrounding seawater and squeezing out huge bubbles.

At the same time, the dazzling blue light continued to gather in his palm, and finally, after evaporating countless amounts of sea water, it turned into a slender green-blue horse that was more than three thousand meters long.

"Immortal - nuclear light!"

In the next moment, Li Yun waved out the blue horse in his hand.

The steel monster, which was more than three thousand meters long, seemed to sense the crisis. It immediately stirred the sea water, raised its head, and roared at Li Yun.

As soon as the terrifying sound wave came out, it turned into a turbulent deep-sea whirlpool, like a compressed air cannon, shooting towards the green-blue horse hanging above the head.

"Bam—"

In just a moment, the green-blue Pi Lian easily shattered the whirlpool and fell from the sky with terrifying energy.

The steel horn that was more than 400 meters long was instantly cut off diagonally by the blue horse.

The remaining force of the subsequent green and blue competition was like a hot knife cutting through butter, silently sinking into the thousand-meter-thick iron mountain, splitting the entire body in half from head to tail.

On the way down, Li Yun carefully avoided those holding rooms and only launched an attack on the body of the iron-gnawing beast.

Looking at the giant steel beast below that was easily split in half, Li Yun couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

"TMD, I finally met a normal opponent!"

……

……

On the other side, in the wreckage of Base No. 3 inside the Iron Grit Beast.

The crimson demon had a cheerful smile on his face, holding a pink jade in his hand. He was tossing the pink jade around and humming a tune. He seemed extremely happy.

Not long after, he walked around several heavy metal corridors and came to a thick metal door.

Looking at the project number [2-088] on the metal door, the smile on the crimson devil's face suddenly grew wider.

"……finally found you!"

The crimson demon sighed, then hummed a tune and pushed open the closed metal door.

Then, two figures, one big and one small, one tall and one short, appeared in his field of vision.

Among them, the tall man seemed to hear him pushing the door open, and immediately turned his head slightly, looking at the crimson devil at the door with a smile full of malice.

Seeing that familiar face, the smile on the crimson demon's face suddenly froze.

"Come, brother?"

Li Yun said regretfully: "It's a pity that I arrived too late!"
