American Comics: Tales of Cultivator

Chapter 108: Room, Predator

*Whoosh!* The Tri-Blade Wrist Blades shot out, piercing directly through the Cobra Soldier who had leaped high into the air.

The bare-chested Cobra Soldier had his entire left chest impaled by the sharp Tri-Blade Wrist Blades, spraying a large gush of blood.

The Cobra Soldier, injected with Nanite Solution, seemed to not understand fear or pain. Even impaled by the Wrist Blades in mid-air, he still held onto his last breath, throwing the Kukri Knife in his hand towards the Predator in front of him.

*Hiss!* The Predator tilted its head, and the Kukri Knife flew past, grazing its Bio-Mask. The sharp blade left a mark on the Predator's Bio-Mask.

"Roar!"

An angry low growl came from beneath the Predator's mask. With a flick of its arm, it swung the Cobra Soldier, still impaled on the Wrist Blades, and smashed him into the other two Cobra Soldiers rushing down the Tunnel.

Taking advantage of the two being blocked by the Corpse, the Predator stomped its legs forcefully, directly tearing off the arms of the Cobra Soldier who was clinging to its legs.

Countless Nanoworms, tiny to the point of being almost invisible, swarmed from all over this Cobra Soldier's body towards his Wound, attempting to stop the bleeding from the severed arm.

*Whoosh!* Seemingly noticing the abnormality in the Cobra Soldier's body, the Predator directly swung its Wrist Blades backhand. The Tri-Blade Wrist Blades tore through the Cobra Soldier's flesh and skin, completely destroying his Spine into several sections!

"Roar!"

Having finished all this, the Predator stood up and faced the remaining two Cobra Soldiers. It wildly removed the Bio-Mask from its face, revealing a face with interlocking Fangs.

A beastly roar filled with fighting intent came from its mouth beneath the four outward-facing Fangs. It swung an arm, and the sharp Wrist Blades shot out again. It strode towards the two Cobra Soldiers who were rushing forward, swinging their knives.

...

*Rustle rustle...*

"It should be here! Blow it open!"

At the bottom of the Pyramid, two thick Stone Gates blocked the path of the Scarabs swarm.

Charles Bishop Weyland looked at the Relief Carving on the Stone Gates, his expression somewhat excited.

A Mercenary stepped forward with several pieces of Plastic Explosives and attached the Bomb to the Stone Gates.

The Crowd retreated to the middle of the Tunnel. As the demolitions expert pressed the Detonator.

*Boom!*

With a loud Explosion Sound, Smoke and Dust rose everywhere, and the entire Pyramid seemed to shake violently.

"Ptooey, ptooey!"

Several Mercenaries who weren't wearing fully sealed Helmets kept spitting out dust.

After the Smoke and Dust finally dispersed, Charles Bishop Weyland impatiently came to the Stone Gates.

The two Stone Gates leading to the lower level space, except for the Relief Carving on them being slightly damaged, were otherwise as usual, standing there, unmoving as a mountain.

"What kind of material is this stone? This Hardness is simply incredible!"

The demolitions expert knelt on the Ground in surprise, touching the Stone Gates with his hand, feeling their texture.

The several pieces of Plastic Explosives he installed were mixed by himself, and he was very clear about their Force. Although the Explosion Sound range wasn't strong, it was a targeted demolition.

The few pieces of Plastic Explosives he installed were enough to blow open the Vault Gate of any Bank Vault, let alone this kind of Stone Gate.

"Taber! Stop talking nonsense, increase the dosage, and blow it again!"

Jacob glanced at his Boss's expression and quickly reprimanded the demolitions expert.

"Boss!" The demolitions expert shrugged, pointing to the surrounding Tunnels and the ceiling above.

"Unless you can guarantee that these stones are as solid as the two Stone Gates, otherwise, if the dosage is any more, I can't guarantee we won't be buried alive here!"

"Mr. Weyland!" Jacob couldn't help but look at Charles Bishop Weyland! Charles Bishop Weyland's eyes had never left the two Stone Gates.

"Whatever Method it takes, open it!"

When he saw the Spaceship Relief Carving on the Stone Gates, Charles Bishop Weyland's Voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Use the Shoulder Cannon!"

Jacob gestured to the two Mercenaries behind him. The two Mercenaries stepped forward simultaneously.

Two three-point Red Lights shone onto the Stone Gates from the masks they were wearing.

*Boom!* Another loud Explosion Sound. *Rustle rustle* of gravel constantly fell from the top of the Pyramid.

"Boss?"

The two Mercenaries dodged the gravel from above, looking at the Cracks appearing in the Tunnel, hesitating and not daring to try a second time.

Clearly, the material used for this Pyramid and the Stone Gates below was not the same material.

If they bombed it again, it was hard to guarantee that this Passage wouldn't directly collapse.

Jacob looked at the Stone Gates that remained unchanged, then glanced at Charles Bishop Weyland, and was at a loss for a Method for a moment.

"Taber, is there any other Method!?"

Jacob looked at the demolitions expert. The demolitions expert frowned, staring closely at the two Gates.

"Use a drill to make a few directional demolition points on the Gate, then add enough Bomb dosage, maybe that can blow it open?"

Taber said somewhat uncertainly, "But this will take a little Time!"

"How long?"

Charles Bishop Weyland turned around, his eyes, wrapped within the Exoskeleton Armor, seemed to become unusually sharp.

"At least half an hour!"

Taber hesitated for a moment before answering.

"No, we don't have that much Time!" Charles Bishop Weyland said decisively, "I'll give you twenty minutes at most, I want to see results!"

Twenty minutes? Taber looked at the two Stone Gates that were still intact after two high-intensity explosions, and did not immediately respond to Charles Bishop Weyland's words.

Charles Bishop Weyland's Complexion beneath his Helmet became unusually grim. Just as he was about to lose his temper, a Voice interrupted him in time.

"I say, Mr. Weyland, why are you focusing on these two Stone Gates!"

Charles Bishop Weyland turned his head and looked at Tang Song: "Tang, what do you mean by that?"

Tang Song held a Cigar in one hand and a Cane in the other, pointing at the thick stone bricks beneath him.

A series of crisp *tap-tap* sounds echoed in the Tunnel.

"Aren't you trying to enter the lower level space? Just blow through this Tunnel, why are you struggling with those two Stone Gates!"

As Boss Tang's words came out, Jacob and Charles Bishop Weyland immediately exchanged glances.

"Taber?" Jacob directly asked the demolitions expert.

"Theoretically, it is possible," the demolitions expert knelt on the Ground, extending his finger and tapping the floor tiles with his knuckle: "The stone layer is clearly thicker, but compared to these two Stone Gates, the engineering difficulty isn't great!"

"How long will it take to get it done?"

Charles Bishop Weyland asked in a deep Voice.

"Give me eight minutes," the demolitions expert stood up, holding surveying tools, tapping and marking the floor tiles in various parts of the Tunnel.

"Hey, guys, don't just stand around, chisel some pits for me at these points!"

A group of Mercenaries picked up their personal military knives and entrenching tools, tapping and chiseling pits in the stone bricks with force.

As for directly using Guns for Spray Fire, everyone present was an experienced veteran and knew very well the probability of ricochets when firing at close range in this kind of Tunnel.

No one would do such a stupid Thing! A group of Mercenaries busied themselves chiseling holes and burying Bombs. Tang Song strolled leisurely with his Cane to the corner of the Tunnel.

*Hiss!*

A Xenomorph Runner hiding in the corner, peeking and looking towards them furtively, was startled by Tang Song's sudden appearance.

It hissed, its two strong hind legs leaped directly up, pouncing and biting towards Tang Song.

"Naughty!"

Speaking lightly from his mouth, Tang Song's silver-plated Cane was faster, striking the top of this Xenomorph Runner's head.

*Hiss hiss hiss...*

*Crack!* A single strike from the Cane impaled this wolf-sized Xenomorph Runner to the Ground. The Cane, condensed with Tang Song's True Essence, almost pierced through this Xenomorph Runner's skull.

The remaining half of its head was almost embedded in the floor tiles. It thrashed its Tail, letting out bursts of hissing.

Green, strong acidic Bodily Fluid continuously sprayed from its mouth.

The Cane stuck in its skull was corroded by this strong acid, immediately emitting bursts of *hissing* sounds.

Rolling White Smoke rose from the head of the Cane. Tang Song extended his left hand and fanned the White Smoke away. Behind him, a wisp of True Essence condensed, transforming into an invisible Great Hand that reached out.

This True Essence Great Hand, about five or six meters in size, identical to Tang Song's right hand from the palm lines to the finger joints, grabbed this Xenomorph Runner in its hand.

It was as if an ordinary person was holding a fleshy worm in their palm.

*Crunch crunch!*

With a thought, Tang Song's True Essence Great Hand's five fingers began to contract inward. A clearly audible Bone cracking sound came. The True Essence Great Hand clenched into a Fist. From the gaps in the Fist, streams of thick green Blood splattered out, *hissing* and corroding the stone Ground.

"A bit of a waste!"

The True Essence Great Hand dissipated. On the Tunnel's stone bricks, only a pile of black and green rotten meat remained, with green corrosive Bodily Fluid flowing, leaving the stone Ground pitted and uneven from the erosion.

Boss Tang rubbed his chin. From the inside of his Suit jacket, a small men's wallet flew out and landed in his palm.

"Go!"

The Five Yin Money Pouch opened, and a surge of Five Yin Black Fiend poured out, sweeping towards the Ground. The entire Tunnel immediately became clean, not to mention the Xenomorph Runner's Corpse, even the few blue-gray Scarabs that had quietly appeared at some point were gone.

"Tang!"

Tang Song put the wallet back in his pocket, turned around, leaning on his Cane. In the Tunnel behind him, a group of people were orderly retreating.

Walking at the very front was Charles Bishop Weyland, wearing a full set of Exoskeleton Armor! "Everything inside is ready, the demolition is about to happen, let's retreat further!"

Charles Bishop Weyland's Gaze swept over the empty Tunnel and said to Tang Song.

...

*Rumble rumble!*

A muffled sound transmitted into the Tunnel. The Predator was currently spraying Medi-Kit Spray onto the cuts on its body.

A half-foot long cut was clearly visible on its chest. Even after applying Medi-Kit Spray, the Wound was still oozing Blood.

In the Tunnel behind it, lay the Corpses of two Cobra Soldiers.

Listening to the Explosion Sound, the Predator simply treated the Wounds on its body and silently began to head towards the Direction from which the Explosion Sound came.

In the silent Tunnel, not long after the Predator left, two Xenomorph Runners darted out from somewhere unknown, greedily devouring the scattered Corpses of the Cobra Soldiers.

...

After a muffled Explosion Sound, Charles Bishop Weyland, ignoring the rising Smoke and Dust, led his men directly into the demolished Tunnel.

Tang Song naturally followed among them. Storm Shadow, with two Cobra Soldiers, quietly dispersed to guard him.

The Crowd came to the demolition point where the explosives were installed and saw that the Room, along with the entire Ground, had collapsed downwards. The only Things that remained unchanged were perhaps the two Stone Gates with Relief Carvings.

The lower level space where the Room had collapsed was Pitch black. A Mercenary took a Flare from his bag and threw it down.

A string of Firelight rose. In the Pitch black void, by the fleeting Firelight, one could vaguely see a spacious Room. Several Iron Chains, as thick as arms, hung horizontally, and something seemed to be bound in the middle.

*Clang clang...*

As if sensing living Creatures, the bound Alien Queen struggled fiercely, and the sound of Iron Chains colliding constantly rang out.

"It's here, this is it, that's right, this is the Alien Queen cultivated by the Engineer. The Engineer's Spaceship must be below. As long as I can find his Gene Sequencing chamber, I can regain my youth!"

Charles Bishop Weyland, using the night vision function of his Exoskeleton Suit, was the first to clearly see the situation in the lower level space. When he saw the Alien Queen constantly laying Alien Eggs, his excited feelings were beyond words.

"Jacob, send your bugs down and clear a path! Everyone else, prepare to go down!"

Charles Bishop Weyland saw clearly that the Room below was full of Alien Eggs laid by the Alien Queen, and the entire Room was covered in thick, corrosive Liquid.

Hundreds of Alien Eggs were half-open, and who knows how many Facehuggers were eagerly waiting.

Hearing Charles's Order, Jacob began to chant ancient Egyptian hymns praising Anubis.

*Rustle rustle* sounds continuously came. The Scarabs swarm, which had disappeared to who knows where just now, emerged again from some nook or cranny.

They surged like a tide into the lower Room.

Hundreds of Facehuggers sensed the aura of living Things and leaped out of the Alien Eggs one after another, then directly fell into the swarm of bugs.

*Rustle rustle...*

Countless Scarabs opened their sharp mouthparts, tearing and devouring the "crabs" that were delivered to them.

Facehuggers that were bitten to death or injured sprayed corrosive green Blood, and large areas of Scarabs were corroded into a pile of thick Liquid.

However, the sheer number of Scarabs was simply too great. These tide-like Scarabs, even just by sheer quantity, were enough to pile up and kill these hundred-plus Facehuggers.

In just a few minutes, on the Ground of the lower Room, the dense Alien Eggs, like Warheads, had all disappeared.

Watching the Scarabs swarm clear the Alien Eggs from the Ground, Jacob made a gesture to the two Mercenaries under his command. The two hooked onto the Relief Carving on the nearby wall with their Grappling Hooks.

Flipping over, they leaped down into the lower Room.

From the blown-open Room to the Ground below, the height difference was about a dozen meters.

The two Mercenaries, using their Grappling Hooks, only moved twice on the wall before rolling onto the Ground.

The two cautiously checked the Room with their Guns and then signaled for the people above to come down.

Charles Bishop Weyland looked at the Ground height and leaped down directly.

*Rumble rumble*

From a height of over ten meters, the over one-ton Exoskeleton Armor landing directly shook the wall, and the thick Iron Chains collided with each other. The bound Alien Queen let out a painful hiss from its mouth.

Seeing their Boss go down, Charles Bishop Weyland's Mercenaries lowered Ropes and Grappling Hooks one after another, climbing down to the lower Room.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Storm Shadow and Ana approached Tang Song.

Boss Tang turned back, looking at the dusty Tunnel, and drew an old-fashioned double-barreled Shotgun with his backhand. He aimed at the end of the Tunnel and pulled the Trigger.

*Bang!* The 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells fired, and countless tiny Steel Balls instantly covered a large area of the Tunnel.

*Pffft...*

As the Smoke and Dust cleared, an Invisibility-cloaked Predator was directly revealed by Boss Tang's shot.

In its eyes on the mask, three Red Lights shone towards Tang Song's Direction, and at the same time, the cannon on its Shoulder began to focus Energy.

Tang Song kicked Storm Shadow beside him down into the lower Room. With his other hand, he pulled Ana close and floated down onto the open space in the lower Room.

*Thud!*

Storm Shadow flipped in the air, maintaining a kneeling posture, and landed kneeling in the center of the Room, though the footprint on his backside was too obvious.

*Boom!* A violent Explosion Sound from the upper Room just reached them at this moment.

"What's going on?"

Charles Bishop Weyland, who was searching for the Spaceship's whereabouts, looked up at the ceiling and saw a Predator enter Invisibility and leap down.

"Jacob!"

*Bang bang!*

Charles Bishop Weyland called out, raised the two Rifles on his Exoskeleton Armor arms, which were comparable to hand cannons, and fired several shots towards the Direction the Predator was falling.

The Predator was in mid-air and took a solid hit from Charles Bishop Weyland's Bullet.

The custom-made large Armor-Piercing Rounds directly penetrated the arm of this unlucky Predator, taking away a section of its forearm.

And with Charles Bishop Weyland's shout, the Black Person Big man Jacob at this moment began to summon the bug swarm. Countless Scarabs scurried through the Room, swarming to chase the one-armed Predator.
