Boom! Boom! Boom! Tat-tat-tat-tat----!!!
Tank main guns, heavy machine guns, autocannons… all firepower instantly locked onto the pale giant beast charging towards them! Shells and bullets rained down like a storm!
However, Zhuang Han, in his Bone Mastiff form, did not dodge or evade!
Shells exploded beside him, creating massive fireballs and shockwaves. Shrapnel and shattered rock struck his bone armor, producing a rapid cracking sound, but only leaving faint white marks!
Heavy machine gun bullets hit his thick chest and shoulder armor, bouncing off and deforming as if striking an impenetrable barrier!
His charging speed was astonishing!
Each time his four limbs landed, they caused the ground to shake, leaving deep claw marks!
His massive body moved with a ferocious agility that belied his size!
A hundred meters, gone in an instant!
"Stop it! Stop it!"
An infantry fighting vehicle attempted to block his path, its roof-mounted autocannon firing wildly!
The Bone Mastiff, Zhuang Han's transformed self, suddenly stood on his hind legs, his huge, thick bone-armored claws descending with a air-ripping shriek, striking down hard!
Crunch—Boom!!!
It was like smashing a toy!
The top armor of the infantry fighting vehicle was instantly caved in and twisted, its autocannon barrel bent. The crew inside didn't even have time to scream before they were pulverized into a bloody mess by the impact!
The entire vehicle was flipped onto its side by this terrifying force, fuel leaked, and it immediately caught fire and exploded!
Amidst the flames and thick smoke, the Bone Mastiff showed no hesitation, lunging at the nearest main battle tank!
The tank gunner frantically tried to aim, but the distance was too close!
Zhuang Han's massive bone jaw opened, revealing ferocious fangs capable of gnawing through steel, and he bit down hard on the connection between the tank's turret and hull!
Screech—!!!!
A scalp-prickling sound of metal twisting and tearing rang out! The turret ring, thicker than a woman's waist (ugh, I really can't think of a more vivid adjective), groaned under Zhuang Han's unimaginable biting force, sparks flying everywhere!
The crew inside the tank were scared out of their wits, desperately trying to maneuver the tank to escape!
But Zhuang Han's four limbs gripped the tank's hull tightly, and he gave a mighty shake of his enormous head!
Rumble!!!
With a deafening roar, the entire turret of the main battle tank was ripped off by him!
It was like tearing open a can! Broken hydraulic lines and wires sprayed sparks and fluid, revealing the terrified and paralyzed crew inside!
"Ah—!!!"
Just as the crew's desperate scream escaped their lips, a massive bone claw reached in, scooping up the people inside like snacks, crushing them into a bloody pulp!
Blood and bone fragments spurted from between his fingers!
Bloody! Brutal! Utterly inhuman!
This horrifying scene completely shattered the will to resist of the surrounding soldiers!
"Monster! He's a monster!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The soldiers screamed in terror, their formation instantly falling into disarray!
And the Bone Mastiff, Zhuang Han's transformed self, seemed to have his ferocity fully ignited by the scent of blood!
He shook off the blood and flesh remnants from his claws, let out an even more savage howl to the sky, and his crimson pupils locked onto his next target—another tank attempting to reverse!
He lunged forward, his massive body directly trampling several soldiers who couldn't escape beside the tank into a bloody paste!
A swing of his bone claw, and an armored personnel carrier was easily torn open, its soldiers exposed like canned goods opened by a can opener, instantly shredded and devoured by his fangs!
The battlefield had completely become a unilateral slaughterhouse!
The pale giant beast rampaged through steel and flesh, leaving behind only dismembered limbs, twisted metal, and burning flames wherever he went!
Blood stained the earth, and the heavy scent of gore and char filled the air, making it nauseating!
The mutated creatures, who had been waiting for orders, were also completely spurred into ferocity by their leader's unparalleled brutal display and the rich scent of blood!
They no longer needed commands, letting out excited roars, and like a breaking dam, followed the pale giant beast's retreating figure, frantically charging towards the already collapsing military front line!
Slaughter! Devour! Destroy!
However, just as this frenzied killing reached its climax, and the Bone Mastiff, Zhuang Han's transformed self, was about to tear apart the last disabled tank into pieces—
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
From the direction of the Panshi Military Region, the highest-level, piercing alarm once again tore through the sky!
The utterly demoralized and heavily casualties-suffering remnants of the military, as if grasping at a lifeline, accelerated their retreat regardless of anything, not even caring for the wounded or equipment, just wanting to escape this hell as quickly as possible!
The Bone Mastiff, Zhuang Han's transformed self, stopped his actions, his huge head turning towards the military region. His fangs, covered in blood and shredded meat, opened and closed, emitting a low, threatening roar. In his crimson pupils, the madness receded slightly, replaced by a hint of cold doubt.
What major incident happened inside the military?
His massive body slowly straightened, and he surveyed his surroundings.
Beneath his feet were burning steel wreckage and layers of human corpses; blood had almost formed small streams. His subordinates were frantically devouring the corpses, emitting satisfied roars.
It seemed like a complete victory, but it was actually a Pyrrhic one.
He had almost completely revealed all his trump cards.
The Bone Mastiff form slowly began to recede, the bone armor contracting, his body shrinking, eventually transforming back into Zhuang Han's human form.
His face was exceptionally pale (not just the color of the bone armor), and his breathing was somewhat erratic, but the coldness and brutality in his eyes remained undiminished.
He looked at the retreating military, then at the chaotic battlefield and his subordinates feeding ravenously.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but a bigger storm seemed to be brewing.
