Chapter 487: The Other Side
These Daqi soldiers, after all, had undergone specialized training. Even the recruits, having experienced the earlier round of escape, had grown to some extent. After the initial terror passed, they quickly reacted by opening fire.
Although the angles were awkward, the massive beast diving toward them—named the Vulturehawk—was so enormous that as long as they aimed in the right direction, there was no need for precise targeting to hit it.
Unfortunately, this Vulturehawk was no ordinary creature. It was an expensive, elite unit among the Swarm, boasting a complex native genetic combination due to its high cost.
Its beautiful feathers shimmered with a metallic luster. Small-caliber energy beams shattered or deflected harmlessly off its feathers, failing to cause any damage.
The Vulturehawk’s diving speed was astonishing. Before the Daqi soldiers could fire more than two rounds, the Vulturehawk was already upon them.
The Daqi soldiers faced a dilemma. With the vehicle speeding so quickly, jumping off was impossible—they would be reduced to a broken mess. But staying inside didn’t seem much safer either.
They didn’t have time to hesitate. In just an instant, the Vulturehawk’s massive, razor-sharp talons seized the vehicle. Though the vehicle was large on its own, in comparison to the Vulturehawk, it now seemed as fragile and helpless as a chick.
With the Vulturehawk’s altitude lowering, its talons provided clearer shooting angles. The vehicle’s roof-mounted heavy machine gun opened fire, spraying energy beams. However, even the heavy machine gun was powerless to break through the Vulturehawk’s defenses.
Having secured its prey, the Vulturehawk let out a triumphant screech, flapping its wings sharply. A whirlwind erupted as it carried the vehicle into the air.
