But the Mechanical Giant effortlessly dodged Shen Jingqi's attack. Its body moved like a phantom, appearing behind Shen Jingqi in an instant. It extended its massive arm, reaching for Shen Jingqi's back.

Shen Jingqi sensed the danger behind him, and he quickly lunged forward, dodging the Mechanical Giant's attack. However, its fingers still managed to cut a gash on his back, staining his clothes with blood.

"Shen Jingqi!" Xu An shouted loudly, his eyes filled with worry. He wanted to rush over to help Shen Jingqi but was blocked by the Mechanical Giant's assault.

Shen Jingqi paid no heed to the wound on his back and charged at the Mechanical Giant once more. There was only one thought in his mind: he had to defeat this monster and avenge his comrades.

While Shen Jingqi engaged in fierce combat with the Mechanical Giant, Xu An suddenly noticed a device flashing on the Giant's chest. A thought occurred to him that it might be the machine's core.

"Shen Jingqi! Attack its chest! That might be its core!" Xu An shouted.

Hearing Xu An, delight surged in Shen Jingqi's heart. He immediately adjusted his attack direction and charged towards the Mechanical Giant's chest. But the Giant appeared to have sensed Shen Jingqi's intent, guarding its chest with both arms, preventing him from getting close.

"Damn it! It's guarding its chest!" Shen Jingqi cursed inwardly. His body constantly evaded the Mechanical Giant's attacks, searching for a chance to break through.

When the Mechanical Giant swung its arm to attack again, Shen Jingqi swiftly sidestepped, then took the opportunity when its arm was retracting to charge at its chest. His movements were like an arrow leaving the bowstring, reaching the Giant's chest in an instant.

"Die!" Shen Jingqi shouted fiercely, driving his weapon hard into the Giant's chest. A sound of "puh chi" was heard as he struck the glowing device.

The Mechanical Giant roared in pain, its body starting to tremble violently. Its attacks grew sluggish and weak. Shen Jingqi seized the moment to increase his assault, persistently attacking the device.

"Boom!" A loud explosion tore through the air as the Mechanical Giant's chest burst open. It wobbled and then crashed heavily to the ground, unable to move again.

"We did it! We finally defeated it!" the warriors cheered, their faces alight with the joy of victory. Shen Jingqi gazed at the fallen Mechanical Giant, a breath of relief in his heart. But he knew that though this battle was won, the crisis they faced was far from over.

Through this confrontation, Shen Jingqi and Xu An realized even more acutely the threat posed by the Mechanical Giants. They understood there was still a long way to go to truly rid themselves of this menace. They sat in the base's meeting room, expressions grim.

"Where on earth did these Mechanical Giants come from? Why are they attacking us?" Shen Jingqi asked, frowning, his eyes filled with doubt and concern.

Xu An shook his head, saying, "It's still unclear. But judging from their attack strategy and technological level, there must be a powerful force behind them controlling everything."

"What should we do? Are we supposed to just passively defend all the time?" Shen Jingqi asked, his voice tinged with reluctance.

After a moment's reflection, Xu An said, "We can't stay passive. We must go on the offensive, find the source of the Mechanical Giants, and put an end to the threat."

"But we know nothing about them. How do we find their origin?" Shen Jingqi asked.

Xu An looked at Shen Jingqi and said, "Though we know little about them now, we can analyze the data collected from this battle to find some clues. Also, I'm sure others in this world are researching Mechanical Giants—maybe we can try to collaborate with them."

Shen Jingqi nodded and said, "You're right, let's start taking action right now."

At that moment, a warrior rushed in, his face a mask of terror and urgency, sweat trailing down his cheek and soaking his collar. Panting heavily, he gestured wildly as though the Mechanical Giants were already near, ready to devour the entire base.

"Bad news! Several Mechanical Giants have appeared around the base again!" the warrior shouted, his voice trembling with fear. The sound echoed through the somewhat empty command room, bringing everyone's heart to their throat.

Shen Jingqi and Xu An's hearts clenched; they never expected the Mechanical Giants to attack again so quickly. Shen Jingqi's hand clenched tightly, knuckles white from the pressure, surprise flickering in his eyes, swiftly replaced by resolve. Xu An furrowed his brow, deep concern in his eyes, unconsciously rubbing his hands together, contemplating response strategies.

"Quickly organize the warriors for battle! We must completely annihilate them this time!" Shen Jingqi shouted, his voice powerful and resonant, an invisible force that stabilized the previously frantic atmosphere around him. His eyes flashed like burning flames, illuminating the fearful darkness in the hearts of all present.

Hearing Shen Jingqi's command, the warriors sprang into action, swiftly grabbing weapons, a look of resolute determination on their faces as they headed outside the base.

Shen Jingqi stood in the center of the command room, assuming the role of everyone's leader, standing at the central C position.

His posture was upright, like an immovable mountain, bringing boundless security to everyone around.

"Follow me! Don't be afraid, we will surely defeat them!" Shen Jingqi called out as he marched towards the base's exterior, warriors following tightly, forming an indestructible defensive line.

As they reached outside, the scene before them made everyone gasp. Several enormous Mechanical Giants stood at a distance, their bodies exuding a chilling aura, their eyes glowing with red light, like demons from Hell. The Mechanical Giants' arms were like thick tree trunks, and with every swing, they stirred up a fierce wind, the ground trembling beneath their feet.

"Prepare for battle!" Shen Jingqi shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield. The warriors quickly dispersed to find suitable positions, their weapons glinting coldly, eyes full of fighting spirit.

The battle erupted instantly.

Shen Jingqi led the charge, his body like a nimble leopard weaving through the gaps in the Mechanical Giants' attacks.

"Now!" Shen Jingqi swiftly adjusted his posture, then launched himself with force, his weapon striking like lightning towards the energy core.

"Boom!" A loud explosion resounded as the energy core exploded. The Mechanical Giant's body swayed for a moment, then fell heavily to the ground, motionless.

Shen Jingqi's successful attack greatly boosted the warriors' morale. They began mimicking Shen Jingqi, seeking out the energy cores of the Mechanical Giants as their targets. Through the collective efforts, one Mechanical Giant after another was destroyed.

When the final Mechanical Giant fell, cheers erupted across the battlefield. The warriors looked at the fallen Mechanical Giants with joy on their faces, surrounding Shen Jingqi with admiration in their eyes.

"Shen Jingqi, you're amazing! You are our king!" a warrior shouted loudly.

"Shen Jingqi, the king! Shen Jingqi, the king!" the crowd chanted, their voices deafening.

Their cheers echoed across the battlefield, the highest recognition and praise for Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi stood in the center of everyone, brimming with confidence.
