Chapter 115 Special Rules, First Battle
"Ye Lai? What's wrong?"
"This is a dying world, exactly like the world I saw before that was infected by the wilderness." Ye Lai looked towards the continent not far away, "It's just... a little strange."
"What's wrong?"
"A normal world like this should quickly dissolve after being invaded by the wilderness. How could it... linger on like this?" Ye Lai seemed a little confused.
On the side, Wan Quan cast a glance over: "Is this... a pet card?"
"No, he's my friend. His name is Ye Lai."
"Partner... In other words, he has his own personality? Incredible." Wan Quan exclaimed in admiration.
Although this kind of soul card is generally banned... but he is not a card maker and does not understand this aspect. Moreover, he has heard that this concept has been quite popular recently. It is normal for a card maker like Yu Cang who comes from a university to come up with this kind of unprecedented technology, right?
What's more, Lei Wanqing had already explained before coming that everything concerning Yu Cang was recorded. Even if the card-banning detector went off on his side, he had to pretend not to see it.
Aside, Lin Yunqing seemed to be thinking: "Dissolve? What does that mean?"
"Dissolution... As the name suggests, a world infected by the wilderness is like a bubble that bursts at the slightest poke. In a hundred years at most, it will completely dissipate in the chaos, leaving no trace behind."
Lin Yunqing touched her chin. She had naturally heard Ye Lai mention things about Huang.
"Could it be because this world is broken?" Gu Jieshuang said at this time, "These world fragments are closely connected to Blue Star. The village has tried many methods, but has been unable to destroy this spatial entrance. Perhaps... now these fragments have connected to our world and become one with it?"
"Maybe... I didn't find a similar situation in my memory." Ye Lai shook his head.
In the past, even if two worlds collided, the space fragments that were created would gradually dissipate... This was mainly because it wouldn't be long before the complete world would be eroded by the wasteland, and the space fragments embedded in it would naturally not escape.
The situation on Blue Star is special after all.
Behind him, within a cracked cloud layer, were countless prisms of light similar to those outside, forming the entrance from this world to the Blue Planet. Now, these prisms of light flickered, and several figures emerged from them.
It was a squad of soldiers who came in.
After they came in, they each performed their duties, deployed their formation in an orderly manner, and investigated the situation. After confirming that there was no danger, they immediately set off and flew towards the continent not far away.
Huh? Wait.
Yu Cang raised his brows.
It seems that... they didn't turn on the [Strong Magnetic Ejection Module]. How did they fly in the sky?
Wan Quan seemed to see Yu Cang's confusion. He smiled and explained, "Are you wondering why they can fly?"
"Hmm..." Yu Cang nodded.
"Actually, there are many otherworldly fragments on Blue Star, most of which have their own unique rules," Wan Quan explained. "For example, this Desolate Heaven Realm... once you're there, simply by holding your breath, you can float in the air. To a certain extent, you're immune to the effects of gravity. Therefore, those who have undergone special training can actually fly within it."
"So amazing?" Yu Cang's eyes lit up. "Any requirements? Can I try it?"
"There's no requirement, just hold your breath... However, beginners might make a few mistakes, so you have to be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Cang temporarily placed Qi'er in Lin Yunqing's arms, then adjusted his breathing, took a deep breath, held it at the climax, and then canceled the use of [Magnetic Field Slide].
Suddenly.
Yu Cang could clearly feel that the air around him seemed to have become a lot heavier, as if... he was at the bottom of the sea?
This description may not be accurate. The air did seem to suddenly turn into flowing water, and he could feel a vague sense of support coming from beneath his body, but there was no high pressure like the feeling at the bottom of the sea. Yu Cang's movements were still very smooth, and he didn't feel any resistance at all.
"Uh..." After canceling the [Magnetic Field Glide], Yu Cang's body sank and he suddenly fell down. Although the air under him gave him a lifting force, Yu Cang was unable to make good use of this force for a moment and was still falling down!
In addition, Yu Cang's body was subconsciously tense because he was in the air. At this moment, he opened his mouth and took a few breaths subconsciously, making it even more difficult for him to control his falling trend.
"Boss!" Upon seeing this, Gu Jieshuang quickly dived down. Even after leaving the safe and secure strong magnetic ejection module, he was still moving at a very fast speed. It seemed that he had mastered the use of the rules of this world to perfection.
She was originally from Wuling Village and had many opportunities to come into this different space for training. Naturally, she had already mastered the rules of this world.
She moved very quickly, swimming through the air like a nimble fish, and in the blink of an eye she was beside Yu Cang.
Then... he held it in his arms like a princess.
Seeing this, Wan Quan, who was about to take action, was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, withdrew his hand, and began to watch the show from the side.
Lin Yunqing stroked her glasses calmly, and Qi'er in her arms looked at Yu Cang and the others with shining eyes.
On the other side, Jiang Ya's body froze, with an expression that looked as if she had lost all hope in life.
Haha, as expected... she shouldn't have followed him to this damn place!
…
In mid-air, Yu Cang, who had lost his balance, was about to quickly upgrade his [Magnetic Field Slide] when he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing towards his nose.
Then, the falling momentum was stopped. Yu Cang raised his head and saw Gu Jieshuang's worried eyes.
He immediately realized that he was being held in a princess-like position.
"How are you, boss?"
"I... uh." Yu Cang's hands shook awkwardly. He didn't know where to put his hands in this position, so he could only shrink them to his chest. "That's... okay."
Gu Jieshuang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, the melee soul card master's keen perception made her aware of several gazes behind her.
Her cheeks quickly turned red, visibly, and even Yu Cang in her arms could feel it. Gu Jieshuang's body suddenly became stiff.
However, Gu Jieshuang didn't let go of her embrace. She blushed and said, "Boss... try it again. It's actually very simple. Can you swim? Just float like you're swimming, and move the air like you're moving the seawater... Try it again. Don't worry, I'll catch you."
Seeing her cute look, Yu Cang couldn't help but smile, but seeing that Gu Jieshuang's little mouth had already pouted, he nodded: "Okay, I'll try again."
Yu Cang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then held it. The familiar feeling of being lifted came from the air again.
He completely relaxed his body and imagined himself at the bottom of the sea. This time, as expected, Yu Cang's body slowly floated up in the air.
Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang chuckled and gently withdrew his hand from under Yu Cang. After seeing that he was completely fine, he quickly reached into his arms and grasped the soul card "Ice Heart Sword".
A chill triggered by the Soul Card instantly flowed through her body, calming her down quickly and even calming her red cheeks. After her senses returned to normal, she turned around as if nothing had happened and followed Yu Cang back to the others.
When Lin Yunqing saw her coming back, a smile appeared on his face: "Congratulations."
"Ahem." Gu Jieshuang coughed lightly a few times. "Well, it's okay. Nothing surprising."
She had to admit it.
She was really happy to hear these words from Lin Yunqing, whom she regarded as her imaginary enemy!
Humph, I won after all!
Gu Jieshuang puffed out her chest.
At the same time, Jiang Ya clenched her fists tighter and tighter, and her back teeth made a "crunching" sound.
That’s too much. That’s too much.
"Yu Cang! I want to duel with you!"
"Hmm?" Yu Cang looked at her with some confusion, and immediately activated [Magnetic Field Glide], which provided him with the ability to fly instead of holding his breath.
He had not yet mastered this floating ability and could not speak calmly while holding his breath like Gu Jieshuang.
"Duel? ...That's fine, but let's wait until we get back. There's no suitable venue here."
"Okay! You wait! You wait!"
…
Wan Quan brought everyone to the giant floating island.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Squad One had also landed. This time, their luck seemed good; the landing area was completely silent, and not a single wild beast was sighted. However, they were not complacent. Two soldiers equipped with the [Strong Magnetic Ejection Module] immediately began to explore the surroundings.
Although direct flight is possible here, the [Strong Magnetic Catapult Module] is much faster than simply floating.
At the spot, a warrior opened his arms, and the electronic energy-absorbing core on his chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Several green halos shrank from infinity to his chest, tightly connecting it with the pressure-generating lock.
"Summon: Electronic Energy Draining Tower!"
The warrior stretched out his hands, and a huge shadow rose from the ground in front of him. A tall energy-absorbing tower slowly emerged from it, and a ripple swept across the surroundings and rushed to the end of the sight.
The rest of the soldiers were also on guard. Behind them, more soldiers from the second company were arriving in an orderly manner.
Taking advantage of this time, Wan Quan guided everyone to start training in holding their breath and levitation.
Practicing on land is much more convenient than in the air, and everyone present is quite talented. Even Qi'er only tried three times before he successfully flew.
"Oh!" Qi'er stared with wide eyes, swinging his limbs in the air like a turtle, floating around in a disorderly manner.
Qi'er is just a child after all. Although he has always behaved very well and quietly, that was just because he had forcibly suppressed his nature when facing Mrs. Yu before.
Now that he had encountered such an interesting place, how could he hold back? He immediately revealed his true colors, his little face became puffy due to holding his breath, and his eyes were shining with joy.
However, Qi'er's lung capacity was not high, and she fell from the air after floating for only a while. Fortunately, Yu Cang was floating behind her. Seeing this, he gently held her in his arms.
"Qi'er... Qi'er can fly... Hehe... Brother, did you see it..." Qi'er shrank in Yu Cang's arms, laughing foolishly.
"I see it, I see it." Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
On the other side, Jiang Ya fell from the air in a panic, as if she was choked by her own saliva. She knelt on the ground and coughed dryly several times in succession.
Looking at the people in front of him who had already mastered the breath-holding and levitation technique, Jiang Ya felt frustrated.
Why do you all learn so fast?
It would be fine if the researcher Lin Yunqing learned it in two times... but why can a little girl learn faster than me!
This seems like I'm a fool...
At this time, Quanli came behind her, patted Jiang Ya on the shoulder, and sighed: "It's okay... You are also very good."
Jiang Ya: "..."
Kind of sarcastic, right?
But Wanquan's expression was genuine. "Our warriors usually have to try seven or eight times before they can master it. My friend, your progress is already much faster than the average person. It's just that those few people are too amazing."
Wan Quan was a little confused about the relationship between these people.
However, since Major General Gu asked me to take care of Gu Jieshuang and Jiang Ya... I still have to pay attention, otherwise I will probably be punished later.
It seems that Gu Jieshuang doesn't have to worry about it anymore, so... I'll come and comfort Jiang Ya.
Sure enough, after listening to Wan Quan's explanation, Jiang Ya's expression eased slightly.
But then she clenched her fists.
Damn it, I can’t lose in a place like this!
continue!
…
The other side.
Gu Jieshuang suddenly seemed to have discovered something. She swam to Yu Cang's side and whispered, "Boss... a wild beast has appeared."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his brows and quickly looked aside.
Sure enough, in the sky, several gray figures flew silently.
These were several human-like figures, but they looked very strange.
Their skin is a very dull gray, and their bodies are extremely thin. You can even see the shape of the bones and blood vessels underneath the skin. They have no hair on their bodies, and their heads are dry like skeletons. But Yu Cang guessed that they might not have originally looked like this... This is probably just the way they became after being infected by Huang.
Their waists were thin, densely covered with strands of muscle, but upward, their chests bulged dramatically, two large air sacs bulging within them. When the air sacs deflated, their ribs were visible, but when they expanded, only the root-like black veins on the surface were visible.
Due to the presence of the air sacs, their bodies resembled an oddly proportioned inverted triangle, which surprisingly possessed a peculiar beauty. Furthermore, a pair of wings unfolded on their backs... no, rather than wings, they were a pair of gigantic, specialized wing-like fins. A simple flap in the air could propel them far.
“That’s…?”
"They're Pteropterans," Gu Jieshuang explained. "Their lungs have evolved into two giant air sacs that can store vast amounts of air, allowing them to fly for extended periods while holding their breath. Their fin-like wings allow them to reach ridiculously fast speeds in this environment. They're the main enemy we need to face in the space debris."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang looked at the wild beasts, a thought flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Gu Jieshuang continued, "Finally, Pterosaurs are different from ordinary wild beasts. They act in groups, are organized, and have divisions of labor. Normally, only legendary wild beasts possess even a rudimentary level of intelligence, but here, even epic individuals have demonstrated remarkable wisdom... Before, I thought they were just special, but now it seems..."
Gu Jieshuang's expression became more complicated: "Perhaps... they were once the masters of this world... just like us."
"...Maybe." Yu Cang sighed.
While the two were talking, the warriors had already started fighting with the fin sacs.
The Pteranodon flies silently and is extremely concealed, but the soldiers responsible for going out for reconnaissance all carry super-vision eyes with them. Facing the naked eyes of the Pteranodon, they have an absolute vision advantage.
The warriors discovered the Pteropterans almost as soon as they appeared, but they were still flying foolishly, completely unaware of what was waiting for them ahead.
Just as they passed the huge rocks and saw the electronic energy tower that they had never seen before standing on the edge of the island, they were stunned for a moment.
whoosh!
Several bullets cut through the air and shot straight towards us!
Phew!
The fin-winged beasts reacted quickly, twisting their bodies in the air to avoid the attack, but in the blink of an eye, two of them were hit directly. One of them dodged slightly and had its arm broken on the spot. The other one was more unlucky. The bullet of the Penetrating Star went straight through its head, and it was shot and exploded like a black watermelon, with black juice exploding in the air.
Phew!
The leading Pteropus seemed to have discovered something. It looked around, but what it saw made it feel cold in its heart.
So many alien visitors!
Kill…kill…
The primitive desire to kill grew wildly in its heart, and countless hatred and jealousy towards intelligent life surged in its heart. The corners of its mouth twitched, and it wanted to rush down and tear these aliens to pieces!
But it suppressed its desire.
Not out of reason or kindness, their desires are never subject to either of these things... but out of fear of death.
There are too many people for them to handle. If they rush in rashly, they will only lose their lives in vain.
Go back and call for help!
Phew!
The leading sac beast yelled and turned away. Although the remaining ones seemed to want to rush forward, they still followed the leader after hesitating for a moment.
But it's too late.
Several layers of invisible ripples rushed into the sky, enveloping the sac beasts. Then they suddenly found that no matter how hard they flapped their wings, they could not increase their speed. In other words, it took a lot of effort to reach their normal speed.
The leader looked down and saw two aliens equipped with strange arm armor between the rocks. The ripples were emitted from those arm armor.
Capture the stance!
It can quickly consume the kinetic energy of the target in the stance!
Phew!
Although the leader didn't know what was happening, he knew that these people were preventing them from leaving, so he shouted.
Kill them first!
Bang! Bang!
After a while, another sac beast was killed by a bullet. This kind of ultra-long-range attack is difficult to defend against, but after dealing with it several times, the hit rate of the Star of Death is also dropping rapidly.
These sac beasts had terrifying instincts; sometimes, they could even dodge bullets simply by subconsciously reacting! Now, after adapting, they could almost dodge with absolute certainty.
Phew!
The herd of sac beasts rushed to the ground with shrill screams. Most of them were epic in strength, but the two warriors on the ground who were responsible for launching the capture stance were only level four. No matter how you looked at it, this would be a one-sided massacre.
However, there was no fear on their faces. Instead of running away, they raised their arm armor, and electric light flashed wildly on it. It seemed that they were determined to fight hard!
Cool!
Dark shadows rained down like raindrops, bringing with them deathly screams. However, the moment they came into contact with the warriors—
The warriors' expressions froze, they clenched their fists, and held their arm armor across their bodies. The capture stance suddenly collapsed and condensed, and in an instant, a blue barrier was erected!
Bang!
The sac beasts grabbed on it with their sharp toes, however, this translucent and seemingly fragile barrier was not torn apart as expected. On the contrary, their claws felt like they were stepping on an iron wall and they could not advance an inch!
Sizzle!
Lightning flashed on the electronic buffer barrier. At the warriors' joints, a steady stream of energy flowed into their bodies from the wild crystals inserted under the Absolute Pressure Lock, and then into the barrier, maintaining their hardness!
Ripples of electric light continued to spread from the point where the barrier landed. The barrier flickered for a moment, but it perfectly took on all the attacks!
The edge of the barrier was stuck in the ground. The Flying Sac Beast launched several powerful attacks, and the ground was shaken and the soil was splashed everywhere, but the warriors behind the barrier did not retreat a single step.
This is exactly the meaning of the "buffer" in the electronic buffer barrier. This barrier can not only block attacks, but also perfectly rebound and absorb shock waves.
The leader struck the barrier with a claw, and was startled by the touch from under his feet.
This...what is this thing? Why can’t I get it open?
Something is wrong, retreat quickly!
The leader wanted to retreat, but when he turned around, he found that another warrior was holding up an identical barrier and blocking them from the side. The two barriers formed a triangular angle, blocking most of their space for movement.
Humph, stupid, they can just fly.
Just when the leader wanted to get away as quickly as possible, he suddenly felt something coming from behind him. Judging from the wind, it should not be moving very fast.
So the leader immediately turned around, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the thing that was shot at him.
What is this... a metal... egg?
The leader's puzzled expression had not yet fully revealed.
A roar burst out from its hand!
boom!
Flames shot up into the sky, and the shock waves hit the buffer barriers on both sides, then bounced back, oscillating back and forth in the narrow space between the two barriers, washing away everything in it!
Boom! Boom!
Two more shells rushed into the flames, and a more violent explosion was triggered. Behind the barrier, the two soldiers looked at the crazy explosion at close range. Their empty hands were sweating slightly, and they seemed a little nervous, but they did not retreat a single step, and did not even blink once.
