The huge tentacle came towards them with a fishy wind pressure. Duan Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pulled Ye Ling to avoid it.
The tentacles hit the ground, causing gravel to fly and the ground to shake.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this? It's so big?!" Ye Ling couldn't help but complain. This tentacle was bigger than any mecha she had ever seen.
"Don't worry about what it is, saving your life is the most important thing!" Duan Yu said, and the dagger turned into a silver light and stabbed the tentacle fiercely.
However, this seemingly sharp dagger only left a shallow scratch on the tentacle.
"This thing is too thick-skinned!" Duan Yu cursed inwardly and pulled Ye Ling to fight and retreat.
The ruins are still collapsing, and huge rocks are falling from overhead from time to time. The situation is extremely dangerous.
"This place is going to be ruined!" Ye Ling yelled, "We have to find a way out!"
At this moment, Elder Xuanqing and Lin Yu also rushed over.
"You mecha masters are truly a nuisance!" Elder Xuanqing shouted angrily, "Get out of the ruins now!"
Elder, now is not the time to talk about this Lin Yu urged anxiously, The ruins are about to collapse, we must cooperate to get out Elder Xuanqing's face was ashen, and he was struggling in his heart.
The ancestral teachings cannot be violated, but looking at the crumbling ruins, he does not want the thousand-year heritage to be destroyed.
While Duan Yu was tackling the tentacles, Ye Ling shouted, "Elder, I know you're worried the mechas will destroy the ruins, but the situation is dire. We must work together!" She pointed at the widening spatial cracks and the growing number of tentacles pouring out. "Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe your own eyes! This thing is no joke!"
Elder Xuanqing looked at those disgusting tentacles and his expression became even uglier.
He took a deep breath and seemed to have made a difficult decision.
"You...what do you want to do?" He looked at Ye Ling, with a barely perceptible hesitation in his tone.
Ye Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile. "Elder, please look——"
Ye Ling took out a metal sphere that was shining with strange light from the space button. It was the core she obtained from the ancient mecha.
"Elder, this is my secret weapon." She threw the core into the air, and the core quickly unfolded and deformed, eventually turning into a silver mecha full of technology.
"This...what is this?!" Elder Xuanqing and Lin Yu were both stunned.
The shape of this mecha was different from any mecha they knew. It was full of smooth lines and mysterious runes, as if it came from another world.
"My mecha has been specially modified to absorb and transform cultivation energy." Ye Ling said, leaping into the cockpit of the mecha, "Elder, please inject your spiritual power into the mecha!"
Although Elder Xuanqing was skeptical, he had no choice but to give it a try at this point.
He stretched out his hand and injected powerful spiritual power into the mecha.
The runes on the mecha suddenly lit up, and a layer of golden light appeared on the silver surface of the mecha, as if a god had descended.
"Fuck, that's awesome!" Even Duan Yu, who is usually calm, couldn't help but swear.
Ye Ling controlled the mecha and punched the huge tentacle that was previously difficult to shake.
The golden light turned into a shock wave, and the tentacles were instantly blown into pieces, and smelly green liquid splashed out.
"See? Elder, only the combined power of mecha and cultivation can prevent the ruins from self-destructing!"
Elder Xuanqing was finally convinced. He sighed and said, "Well, while our ancestral teachings are precious, life is even more valuable. Everyone, let's join forces!"
Although Zhao the Blacksmith and Senior Brother Zhou were unhappy, they had no choice but to obey the elder's orders.
Together with Ye Ling and Duan Yu, they fought against the continuously emerging tentacles and collapsing ruins.
Ye Ling's mecha was invincible on the battlefield, and every attack was carried with devastating force.
Blacksmith Zhao and Senior Brother Zhou gradually put aside their prejudices and cooperated with Ye Ling's attack to resist the danger together.
They witnessed Ye Ling's strength with their own eyes, and gradually accepted this girl whom they once regarded as waste.
"Be careful!" Duan Yu suddenly shouted and pushed Ye Ling's mecha away.
A huge tentacle attacked from the side and slammed into the spot where Duan Yu was originally standing...
Duan Yu was knocked away by the tentacles, hit the stone wall, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Duan Yu!" Ye Ling exclaimed, rushed forward in the mecha, and smashed the tentacle into pieces with one punch.
"How are you?" she asked anxiously.
Duan Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said casually: "It's no big deal, I'm not going to die yet." Ye Ling looked at him with heartache, but had to continue fighting.
"Don't worry about me, just focus on fighting!" Duan Yu said, and rushed forward again.
Although he was injured, his fighting power was still amazing. The dagger in his hand turned into silver light and shuttled between the tentacles. With the cooperation of Ye Ling's mecha, he cut off the tentacles one by one.
"Good guy, you are worthy of being my god!" Ye Ling couldn't help but praise him, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
This man always protects her silently like this.
The battle lasted for a long time. Ye Ling and Duan Yu cooperated well with each other, and the others gradually found their rhythm.
With everyone's joint efforts, the self-destruction mechanism of the ruins was finally curbed, the vibrations gradually subsided, and no more boulders fell from overhead.
"Finally done!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.
"It's not over yet!" Elder Xuanqing's face was solemn. "I feel a powerful energy approaching!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling's communicator rang.
"Ye Ling, I've received news that threatening forces from outer space are approaching the ruins! They seem to have sensed unusual fluctuations in the ruins."
"Damn it!" Duan Yu cursed, "They came so quickly!"
Ye Ling glanced at Duan Yu with a firm look in her eyes: "We must be prepared!" She turned to Elder Xuanqing, "Elder, we need your help!"
Elder Xuanqing nodded. "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice. Activate the ruins' defense system!"
Deep within the ruins, ancient runes lit up once again, and powerful energy waves spread...
"They are coming!" Senior Brother Zhou pointed into the distance and exclaimed.
In the sky, huge warships were slowly approaching, blocking out the sky and the sun, with a menacing momentum...
Ye Ling took a deep breath, her eyes filled with fighting spirit: "Get ready for battle!"
