Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 64 Statue
The three were originally immersed in the joy of getting the top three places. However, just when they returned to the training camp and were ready to celebrate, a sudden urgent message instantly made their joy disappear and their faces became solemn.

"Emergency mission. Five days ago, a huge beast tide broke out in S01 Mechanical City, and the city lord of S01 Mechanical City was killed. All reserve trainees who have passed the assessment are requested to return to the training camp immediately and go to S Province to carry out the cleanup mission."

"How could Ji Chengbin die? What happened?"

Ji Xuefeng's eyes almost popped out, he couldn't believe this fact. Ji Chengbin, the city lord guarding the S01 Mechanical City, was the strongest in their family. Ji Chengbin was ranked ninth among the strongest humans and had the merit of defeating beast king-level source beasts many times.

In his opinion, S Province has always been a place where strong people gather and weapons are cutting-edge. Such a powerful city lord Ji Chengbin, together with other strong people and advanced weapons in S Province, should be able to resist any attack from the beast tide, but the reality is cruelly placed in front of them.

At this time, Yuanze received another text message from Li Haisheng:

"The old place, come back quickly."

Turning down, there is a message from Hjalma:
"I have left S Province safely, don't worry!"

There is also news about Ji Xueran:

"I'm out of the province. I'm fine."

Scroll down further and you will see some news from the past.

Yuanze didn't find any information about his parents, younger brother and older sister. He didn't dare to think about it any further. He punched the wall next to him, and a hole was instantly blasted out.

The three of them hurriedly left the place and boarded the plane. They watched the video of the beast tide on the plane and couldn't help but gasp.

In the video, this was a raid in the middle of the night. It is unknown what means the source beasts used. They were completely undetected by human reconnaissance systems before they gathered.

Under the night sky, the S01 Mechanical City was shrouded in a dim light of various colors. It was not the lights of the city, but the eyes of countless source beasts, which flickered like will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness, carrying a chilling chill and deep malice.

The beast tide came like a tsunami, surging from all directions, from the sky and from the ground. The deafening roar shook the entire earth.

By the time the defense system of the Mechanical City noticed, it was already too late. The city walls were spewing out various energy beams, and the source force missiles were fired at will, and various bright lights were tearing through the darkness, but these were completely unable to stop the advance of the source beasts.

Unfortunately, this is the weakest point in the defense of the entire Mechanical City, and the source beasts use their sharp teeth and claws to quickly destroy the defense.

This time the Source Warriors were mobilized much faster than last time, and they blocked the Source Beasts at the city gate in time. However, compared to the endless black and white tide of beasts, these Source Warriors were not enough.

They fell one after another, corroded by venom, frozen by frost, and devoured by flames...

The beast tide finally rushed into the city. Although the people in the city had the experience of last year, they were still helpless like lambs to be slaughtered in the face of these powerful source beasts. More source warriors rushed to the front line, but the defense had been completely torn apart at this time, and humans and source beasts fell into a chaotic street fight.

The narrow streets became a battlefield for fierce street fighting between humans and source beasts. Source warriors brandished swords and guns to fight with the source beasts, their figures flickering in the firelight. Every swing of the sword and every shot was filled with the unyielding will of mankind.

At this time, a tall figure came back from afar with an unrivaled momentum. This was the city lord they admired the most, and he was everyone's hope.

He drew his sword from its sheath, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, as if it was going to illuminate the sky. The boundless sword energy was wrapped in sharp source power, sweeping away all the source beasts in front of him. Suddenly, the morale of the source warriors was high, and they fought hard, trying to repel the source beasts on the ground.

At this moment, the pitch-black giant eagle appeared again, and with a light flap of its wings, it took the blow.

“You’re still the same.”

"This is enough to deal with you." The man and the beast instantly wrestled together. Their movements were so fast that people could not see clearly, and the use of their abilities was also dazzling. Only two blurry shadows could be seen fighting continuously, causing ripples in the space.

Suddenly, a deafening sound exploded.

The collision of the two people's source power swept all around, instantly destroying the surrounding buildings and source beasts. The battle between Ji Chengbin and the giant eagle reached a fever pitch, and the two powerful forces flashed violently in the air, and the entire sky was sometimes dark and sometimes bright.

The giant eagle suddenly retreated a little, trying to gather power to release the "electromagnetic shock bomb". Ji Chengbin certainly would not miss this opportunity, he flashed behind it and slashed it with his sword.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out and dripped onto the faces of the Source Warriors and Source Beasts like rain. They all raised their heads and looked at the sky.

Ji Chengbin's limbs were stiffened in four directions. The lurking sharp-blade tiger soul launched a sneak attack and even tore his armor into pieces, exposing his unprotected upper body, with his chest pierced by sharp claws.

The blood rain was formed by the tiger soul crushing his heart and dyeing the entire sky red.

Ji Chengbin seemed unaware of it, and his face showed no sign of pain. He resolutely grasped the arm of Tiger Soul that had pierced his chest, making it unable to break free, and his other hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

The sword light was so bright and dazzling that it seemed to pierce the night sky and illuminate the darkness. He used all his energy and will, swung the sword, and cut off the head of the beast king-level tiger soul.

The sword slipped from Ji Chengbin's hand. He covered his chest, knelt on one knee in the air, and tried to support his shaky body.

"It seems that you are old. You can't even detect the disguise of Tiger Soul. You are really a rookie..."

The giant eagle's taunting had not yet ended when a beam of light carrying unparalleled momentum came to its face.

The giant eagle was severely damaged by the attack. It flew backwards wailing, knocking down several buildings and rolling out of the wall of the Mechanical City.

And Ji Chengbin's last shot also drained all his energy, and he was tottering in the air.

But he did not fall. He struggled to retrieve his sword and flew to the city wall with difficulty. He gritted his teeth, pointed his sword at the surging beasts in front of him, and burst out with a final roar: "Kill!!!"

Ji Chengbin supported himself with his sword, and scanned the herd of source beasts below with a sharp gaze. His might was like a violent storm, which frightened the source beasts. For a moment, no one dared to step forward to challenge this brave city lord. The giant eagle had already abandoned its troops and fled, not daring to stay for a moment.

The Source Warriors had no time to wallow in sorrow. They shouted and rushed towards the Source beasts, engaging in a desperate fight with them.

Ji Chengbin watched the beast tide gradually collapse, with a trace of relief flashing in his eyes. However, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his legs and feet became weaker and weaker. He was unwilling to fall down like this. How could he fall down when his great revenge had not yet been avenged?

He opened his eyes angrily and stared down with wide eyes, his thoughts never changing.

"I will continue to defend my city."

The blood on Ji Chengbin's chest had stopped flowing, and the terrible hole had begun to grow new flesh and skin. But the strong willpower did not bring back the miracle. The heart was one of the hubs of the source of power, and conventional means of source power could not restore it.

He still did not change his posture of holding the sword and glaring at the source beast under the city wall. He stood there like an eternal sculpture, as if he was still guarding the S01 Mechanical City.

When Yuanze and the other two arrived, he still refused to fall down from the city wall, refused to close his eyes, and even stared firmly in the direction where the giant eagle had slipped away, refusing to move.
