Chapter 587 Hidden Ambush
Outside the building, the two pioneering team members were still there. Xu Chan didn't let them in, so they didn't move. Besides, the space inside was limited, and they couldn't move well if they were all together.
Seeing Captain Wang's miserable appearance, the man with the mustache asked from a distance, "Captain Wang, are you okay?"
Captain Wang leaned against the roadblock, twisted his neck, and said, "It's okay, just testing its strength. It's strong enough."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and a crackling sound came from his arms. The rolled up flesh and broken bones there began to shrink and tighten, and recovered at an extremely fast speed.
The man with the mustache saw that it would take him some time to fully recover, so he flicked away the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Let me give it a try." As he said that, he went straight to the front and stood still.
He did not go in, but clenched his fists on the spot, his leg muscles suddenly bulged, even the muscles on his back bulged, and his eyes were fixed on the front.
From this position, he could just see Wu Qi's huge body through the hole in the curtain wall. As he was preparing to attack, a stream of hot mist spurted out of his mouth and nose.
Even though the other teammate was not close to him at the moment, he could still feel a burning sensation from his body. After a while, the ground shook, and a big hole appeared where he was standing.
The mustachioed man clenched his fist and shot into the building like a cannonball. The curtain wall glass flew everywhere and thunder-like sound waves shook the surroundings. In just a moment, he arrived in front of Wu Qi.
Then, swing it down hard!
A circle of air ripples exploded,
Just as he was about to punch Wu Qi's head, a long whip suddenly came at a faster speed and hit him first. With a loud bang, it whipped him to the wall of the hall more than a hundred meters away, creating a circle of cracks on it. The whole person bounced back and fell heavily to the ground.
There were huge gaping holes in his waist, abdomen and ribs, and his internal organs could be seen. Half of his face had a piece of flesh peeled off, and he looked bloody and hideous.
However, his eyes did not change at all, and the intact half of his face was still full of fighting spirit. The bones in his body were straightened, and with the surge of essence and blood, his injuries were gradually healing.
As for the wound on his face, he ignored it because in his opinion, it was not a serious injury and would not hinder the battle. There was no need to spend energy and blood to repair it. He could just let it recover slowly on its own.
Although his attack did not hit the target, it was not meaningless.
The tentacle exploded in mid-air when it whipped him, and almost all the parts it touched were lost. After all, some of the force hit Wu Qi's head, causing this huge and active consciousness to sink involuntarily, and the overflow field became disordered for a moment.
This undoubtedly gave teammates opportunities.
A figure flashed, and Captain Wang took advantage of the gap to rush in again from the back. Captain Lu, who was in the hall, jumped into the air at this time.
The two men moved at an incredibly fast speed, one above and one below, splitting into two routes and rushing towards the active consciousness in a very tacit understanding.
Wu Qi destroyed one of his whip arms, and even if it could grow back, it would not recover so quickly. The two whip arms were originally designed to cooperate with each other, one far and one near. The one near was broken, and the other one at the far end had not been retracted in time.
But at this moment it showed extreme flexibility. It moved its four legs and turned its body first, avoiding those parts that were easily attacked and destroyed, and facing the two people with its hard part.
Captain Wang came close to the ground, moving with his head down and his feet up. Finally, he supported his body with both hands, twisted his body and kicked upwards, and with a bang, he kicked Wu Qi's leg joint, and the part he hit made a dull explosion.
Captain Lu punched Wu Qi in the face. He thought there was no more cover in front of him, but the remaining half of the tentacle rose up, and in an instant it straightened and hardened, blocking the front.
This punch was like hitting into a highly resilient piece of wood. Although some tissues shattered and flew around, it was obviously unable to cause serious damage. However, he reacted quickly and immediately released a second burst of force.
The hardened whip has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it blocks the attack, but the disadvantage is that Wu Qi's shoulders and half of his body are also pushed by this force, and his upper body can't help but lean back.
Captain Wang on the ground seemed to see the scene above, and kicked out again, hitting the supporting leg.
If any one of these two attacks was used alone, it would at most cause some superficial damage to Wu Qi, and would not actually play a big role in the battle situation. However, when the two attacked together, they successfully forced Wu Qi's center of gravity to shift.
Captain Lu rolled in the air at this time, and while relieving the force, he stepped on Wu Qi's chest. The kick was very precise, and with the sound of an explosion, the muscles and a row of compound eyes there exploded, and a bright green liquid splashed out.
Captain Wang below turned over at this moment, and with a snap of his hands, he slashed at a joint of his leg. A sharp force cut inward, instantly cutting a long crack. If it were not for the exoskeleton wrapping it, the crack would almost have been cut off.
The mustachioed man secretly cheered when he saw this scene. As long as the two could maintain this advantage and wait for him and other teammates to join in, they could gradually expand their victory.
But at this moment, suddenly a powerful spiritual force burst out from Wu Qi's body, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
Not only was he affected, but in a trance, he heard two bangs, and then saw both Lu and Wang being pulled out.
Xu Chan had been standing there without moving, but when the two men flew out, he suddenly appeared beside Wu Qi. He seemed to be unaffected by the mental shock at all, and he threw a punch that seemed slow but was actually fast, hitting him in the abdomen.
On the surface, this punch seemed to have no impact, but Wu Qi was like a drunk, and his huge body staggered to the side.
There didn't seem to be any wounds on the part that was hit, but the next moment, a huge hole big enough for a person suddenly exploded on its back, and the blood, flesh and tissue inside splattered out, instantly covering the ground. This thing also made a high-pitched hissing sound from its throat and abdominal cavity.
Xu Chan frowned at this time, because at this time a stronger spiritual force came, and the faint light on his fist was difficult to condense under such an impact.
As he retreated, Wu Qi's chest emitted bursts of ghostly light, and a thick membrane quickly covered the cuts and wounds. One could see the alienated tissue inside growing and healing rapidly.
This is a regenerative membrane that can repair and block external damage in a timely manner, and secrete high-energy substances to quickly repair damaged areas.
Xu Chan watched it with a serious expression. After trying it out for a while, he almost understood the characteristics of this thing. Next...
Just as he was thinking about how to destroy it, a vague sound came from the world.
Although it was not clear, he understood it.
"Will it take at least two hours?"
On the airship, as Chen Chuan continued to swallow the pure essence, he felt that he was becoming more and more transparent. The burden and barrier seemed to be disappearing, and he felt more and more relaxed. However, the more he swallowed, the more he felt he needed more.
This is inevitable. A fighter with a solid physical foundation must need more pure essence.
This is actually not a bad thing.
Now some of the information above was not concealed from him. He had already learned that this time the splitting of the mother shrimp would not exceed fifteen waves, so it might continue until tomorrow afternoon.
He estimated that if the amount of pure energy in the subsequent stages remained no less than it was now, he might be able to gather enough for his needs.
At this moment, he took a look at the scene transmitted from the scene. Although it was very blurry and jumpy, as a fighter, it was not difficult for him to distinguish the current situation of the enemy and us from these fragmented images.
It can be seen that the five people present are quite powerful, but this active consciousness seems to have a very strong recovery ability. It is estimated that it will not be so easy to kill it unless its energy is exhausted. This time, he has to deal with more than just this thing.
But it is a certain existence lurking nearby.
Just now, when Wu Qi's first mental shock appeared, the active consciousness of the processing bureau, "An Dun", caught a trace of abnormal movement.
Andun is not good at fighting, but his strengths lie in defense and observation and analysis, so although the abnormal fluctuation was weak, he still noticed it.
It will not ignore it as humans would, thinking it is an illusion, but will conduct an in-depth analysis and finally conclude that it is not the field force emitted by any known organism in the world.
According to analysis, this is likely to have been emitted by a being from the opposite world, who should be hiding inside the Ferris Wheel Company at this moment.
He is very close to Wu Qi, so his purpose is self-evident. It should be to use the active consciousness to make this body his carrier.
The human body is not suitable to be a carrier, but the active consciousness can fully exert its power and can also accept its drastic transformation.
If its status is high enough, it can even push the carrier's level upwards, thereby dragging more power into the world.
But exposing it immediately wouldn't be a good approach. That would mean they'd have to deal with both an alien being and an active consciousness at the same time, potentially leading to a situation where they couldn't take down either, which would defeat their original purpose.
So Andun came up with a plan, which was to give this existence a fatal blow at the moment when it tried to rob but had not yet fully controlled it, so that both targets could be destroyed at once.
And this strike will be left to him to complete.
During this period, he needs to recover his physical strength as much as possible and adjust his strength to its peak.
After taking another look, he closed his eyes and concentrated on swallowing the pure essence.
Soon, more than an hour passed.
A voice rang out from the boundary beside his ear at this moment, "Captain Chen, we have received orders. The airship will leave the Shenwei District and move towards the Yinglu District. Do you have any objections?"
Chen Chuan glanced at the time. It was 10:55. He said, "I have no objection. Let's go."
At the same time, the airship began to turn slowly and flew towards the Yinglu area.
