Chapter 583 The Soldiers Died Tragically
On the ground, a group of soldiers were frantically pouring firepower towards the fire element.
The various guns in their hands spewed out flames, and bullets were fired at the fire element as densely as raindrops.
At the same time, various tanks and armored vehicles also joined the fierce battle. Their artillery made a deafening roar, and the shells streaked across the sky like meteors, accurately hitting the fire element.
In the sky, fighter planes roared past, with air-to-ground missiles hanging under their wings.
These missiles were like the scythe of the god of death, quickly cutting through the sky and accurately hitting the fire element.
With loud bangs, the shock waves generated by the missile explosions raised billowing smoke and dust, and the magma on the fire element's body was also shaken and scattered everywhere.
However, all this is just an illusion.
The fire element was not weakened by these attacks. Instead, it was madly absorbing the metal elements in them and continuously growing stronger.
Its body is becoming larger and larger, but it is so majestic that it is difficult for the naked eye to capture its subtle changes, but it is indeed getting bigger!
The flames of the fire element became more and more fierce, as if they were going to burn the entire world to ashes. The dark purple lines on its body were shining brightly, emitting purple-red light from time to time.
Although the soldiers' attacks were extremely fierce, the fire element's advance did not stop at all.
As it got closer, the heat waves from its body became more and more oppressive. The soldiers' faces were covered with sweat and they were all unable to bear the heat. The tanks and armored vehicles had to start retreating and keeping a distance.
Because the heat wave from the magma turned the inside of the car into a furnace, the car was terribly hot! They could only keep their distance, otherwise they would be turned into roasted chickens before the fire element attacked them.
The armored vehicles and military trucks began to retreat. Some smart soldiers immediately climbed onto the vehicles when they saw this, but those soldiers who were far away and did not have time to get on the vehicles were in trouble.
Every step the fire element took covered a distance of dozens of meters. It seemed slow, but in fact, its speed was quite fast.
Soon, the raging flames came to them along with the footsteps of the fire element. At this time, a large number of soldiers could no longer withstand the high temperature, and many soldiers began to flee.
But it was too late to escape now, the flames of the fire element easily burned them to ashes.
Those tanks and armored vehicles that retreated early were not spared. The fire element did not attack Tony's Iron Legion because it could not hit it.
But this doesn't mean it is easy to mess with. It will not be polite to those running on the ground.
Suddenly, the fire element opened its huge mouth, as if it was a bottomless abyss.
Immediately afterwards, a surging stream of magma gushed out of its mouth like a volcanic eruption, forming a hot torrent that swept forward at an astonishing speed.
This magma is like a roaring fire dragon, swallowing and destroying everything wherever it passes.
It directly covered a large area in front of it. Both the ground and the surrounding objects were melted and burned by the high-temperature magma in an instant.
The soldiers driving armored vehicles and military trucks became the first victims of the disaster.
The tires of their vehicles melted the moment they came into contact with the magma, losing their support and making it impossible for the vehicles to continue driving.
The soldiers in the car looked at this scene in horror, and before they could react, they were poured all over by the boiling lava.
In an instant, screams of pain rang out one after another.
The soldiers' bodies were burned by magma, their skin was instantly charred, and their muscles and bones quickly melted under the high temperature.
They struggled in extreme pain, but were soon swallowed up by the merciless magma, and their lives disappeared in an instant.
The tanks were relatively lucky, as their steel tracks were able to hold out in the lava for a while and continue to escape, but this luck did not last long.
The hot magma fell on the tank and soon turned the entire tank into a boiling furnace. The soldiers inside could only try to open the roof to escape.
But the top of the hood was covered with molten lava. As soon as a soldier touched the metal handle, a blister formed on his palm and his gloves were burned through.
"Ah! Damn it! My hand!!!" He fell to the ground, covering his hand. Blisters quickly formed on his hand and burst directly. Then the skin turned charred black. In just a moment, his flesh was almost scalded.
Seeing this, another soldier immediately picked up a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his hands, then endured the severe pain and forced open the hood. However, as soon as he pushed it open, the lava on the roof flowed into the car.
It covered his entire face, and he fell straight to the ground before he could even let out a scream.
The soldier under him whose palm was burned was terrified, but before he could get up and run away, the lava fell on him, ignited his clothes, and instantly turned them both into mortals.
As a large amount of magma flowed into the vehicle, the screams of the remaining soldiers rang out in the tank, but soon became quiet.
Looking at this scene that seemed like hell on earth, Egghead couldn't help but kick the table with a "bang".
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" He stared at the big screen with angry eyes, and the staff in the Tianjian Bureau also fell silent.
"May God bless you!" Hill looked at the horrific scene in the transmitted image and silently made a cross.
"These soldiers didn't have to die! They were killed by those idiots! And they made the enemy even stronger!"
Although the fire element's size has only increased slightly, the S.W.A.R.D. has been monitoring its height.
From the computer, Egghead could clearly see that before and after the battle, the fire element was 47 meters taller!
The tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks that failed to escape on the ground all became its food!
There was even an F22 fighter jet that was sprayed with magma by the fire element while it was flying at low altitude, becoming its food for growth!
"Sir! Should we notify the fire brigade to put out the fire? The fire in the forest is getting bigger and bigger! If it continues like this..."
"Huh!" Egghead took a deep breath, calmed down his angry mood, and walked towards the meeting room.
"Tell them to avoid the direction of the fire element, the farther away from it the better! I will go and warn those idiots not to do stupid things again! Tell Tony and the others to return as soon as possible! And Banner too!"
"I'm afraid Banner won't be able to arrive in a short time! He's too far away!"
The boiled egg head slammed the door and walked out, leaving only one sentence.
"Then contact Strange. Can't he open a portal? Ask him to help transport them here!!!"
