Chapter 100
Chapter 100
The source of pollution has moved...? Hearing You Su's words, KID and the others imported the original coordinates. This was also the edge of the forest, and the surrounding environment was not very obviously different in the display of the radar map. However, when comparing the coordinates with the large map, it was indeed discovered that the coordinate range of this new S-class was offset to the south by nearly 5 kilometers.
"Yes." Lin Yao pointed at the map and said, "It turns out that it's not so close to the place marked in red."
The location further south of the coordinates is the restricted area marked on the map. Ying Chenlin looked at the female mantis next to him. At the beginning, the position of the female mantis was also very close to the restricted area, but because of the movement of the Wind Blade Mantis, its position gradually moved away from the restricted area.
There are three pollutants near the Swamp Forest, two of which are inside the forest and one is at the edge of the forest.
Now the pollutant that once roamed the edge of the forest is getting closer to the forest.
Huo Yan said: "This movement is not right. I remember that during the meeting, the management bureau seemed to say that the movement of these animals in the forest is relatively slow."
This is why they designated a rendezvous plan. According to the original plan, after they cleared the three pollutants in the forest, they should be closer to the mountains. However, with the changes in the position of the mother mantis and the current unknown pollutant, the shortest distance they originally planned has deviated. Now there is a huge red restricted area between them and the mountains. If they want to get through, they can only go around it.
Ji Qingfeng said: "It's okay, why don't we just get rid of this pollutant and pass through the restricted area."
"You can't enter the restricted area." Huo Yan suddenly said, "I heard about that place when I was in the Border Army. It's very dangerous inside. It's now completely closed. The Border Army and the Mecha Alliance rarely set foot in it."
Lin Yao was surprised: "Is it so dangerous?"
"It should be very dangerous. You can tell by looking at the layout of the Coria competition area." Ying Chenlin opened the map and could clearly see the Coria competition area. "The main part of the competition area used for the competition was on the other side of the mountain range. The restricted area is on the edge of the current swamp forest, which is another part of the mountain range. A special defense system has been used to seal off the surrounding area. If you step in, it will probably set off the alarm of the management bureau."
"What's in the restricted area?" Ji Qingfeng looked at Huo Yan, "Does Old Huo know?"
"I've heard a little bit about it." Huo Yan looked in the direction of the restricted area. "There was a base station in the restricted area that was abandoned by the Border Army and the Administration. I heard that many years ago, it was one of the research sites where the Border Army and the Mecha Alliance studied heavy weapons."
Lin Yao: "Ah?! Building a research institute in such a high-risk pollution area?"
"The contaminated area in Koria did not reach a high-risk level many years ago." You Su's tone was slightly calmer, and his eyes were dark as he looked at the restricted area: "The border army has troops stationed outside Koria not only because of the border contaminated area, but also to guard this restricted area."
Ying Chenlin listened to his teammates talking, lowering his eyes slightly and looking at the key in his hand.
The light of the key had not yet completely gone out, and when he used his mental power to infuse it into it, he could faintly feel the response of the intelligence within the key. You Su told him that it was Theo who reminded Yuan that his intelligence had not completely entered a dormant state, and that was why Ying Chenlin had never given up inputting mental power into the mecha.
It's just that his mental power has been disordered. Even though the doctor said that the upper limit of his mental power might be S-level, ever since the incident in Qiu Jin ended, he seemed to have never been able to exert mental power fluctuations to that level again.
Ordinary A-level mental power can only charge Yuan for a short time, but can be used by Yuan
The only mental power left for reserve is the S-level mental power of common frequency.
When he used his mental power, he had heard Yuan's response, but the other party's reaction was very weak. Every time he said a sentence or two, he would enter a semi-dormant state.
This was the first time in some time that he saw Yuan react so strongly to the outside world.
Ying Chenlin glanced slightly in the direction of the restricted area. Was it some other reason, or was it the restricted area... ?
At this time, Luxi suddenly said: "Wait, it seems to move again."
"This pollutant looks healthy, running around with so much energy." Ji Qingfeng dragged the well-fed female mantis around to help digest the food, "Where did it go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, You Su suddenly looked up, aimed the energy cannon in his hand at the shadow of the tree high above, and fired without hesitation.
The sound of the shot immediately alarmed everyone around, and all KID members entered a state of combat readiness.
"I was just looking at the center of the pollution source." Lu Xi looked at the coordinates carefully and said, "It has indeed moved, and it is moving in the direction of our coordinates."
Ying Chenlin withdrew his thoughts and noticed that in the hazy purple mist, there seemed to be something crawling quickly high up in the trees.
Just now, everyone's attention was focused on the restricted area, and they didn't notice that the surrounding environment had undergone such a huge change, and they didn't even notice the approach of the pollutants. The other party crawled very quickly, and the moving figure moved from their front to their back. In just a few seconds, it changed its position many times.
"The fog seems to be getting thicker." Ying Chenlin frowned slightly.
The fog had indeed become thicker... and the change happened without their noticing. The entire surrounding environment seemed to be wrapped in purple fog, and the distance that could be seen clearly was no more than five meters. Ying Chenlin hurriedly turned on the emergency system in the mecha, intending to block out the interference of the fog, but once he turned it on, he found that everything in front of him was red.
"No! This is not the original fog in the forest." Ying Chenlin shouted: "It is the power of the pollutants!"
You Su frowned upon hearing this, looked at the shadows moving around quickly, and said quickly: "Ji Qingfeng, make way."
"Make way. What do you mean by make way? Gosh!" Ji Qingfeng had just dragged the female mantis down to lower the mecha when an energy cannon shot towards his head. "Brother, if I had hidden later, you would have hit me."
The surrounding fog dispersed a little as You Su made this commotion.
This allowed all of KID to see clearly the changes around them. Above them was a wide spider web, and an upside-down black spider was looking at them. The spider looked extremely terrifying, with long and pointed black hairy legs. The standing black hairs looked like inverted needles, emitting a sharp cold light.
And on its back, there is another spider.
The other spider was purple-red in color and much smaller than the black spider. It was stuck to the black spider back to back. Its legs were short and thick, but its head was exceptionally wide. A hissing sound came from its mouth, and the spread of mist could be faintly seen.
You Su’s energy cannon is the wind-attribute enhanced weapon on the original A-class mecha, which will bring a small gust of wind when fired. He deliberately reduced the use of energy and made better use of the stored wind power to blast a blank, but he didn't expect that this thing would be produced by this blast.
The weird visual impact made KID and the others feel creepy.
Ying Chenlin looked at the pollution source report on the detection system - 6800, which is S level.
Ji Qingfeng lay on the ground and looked up: "Damn, I've seen spiders before, but I've never seen two spiders growing together."
Lin Yao observed: "It looks a little bit cool."
"The red spider on its back is spitting out mist! Be careful!" Lu Xi opened the detection system and said hurriedly: "This mist has a certain paralyzing effect. Turn off the air filter and be careful of poisonous gas interference."
The spider on top looked at KID and the others. Huo Yan subconsciously opened the protective shield and saw the black spider starting to spit spider silk towards them. There was no change when the spider silk fell on the high-strength protective shield, but the next second, as the spider quickly spun silk, it quickly formed a web on the protective shield.
Huo Yan: “!!!”
Ying Chenlin said quickly: "No, we have to leave this area first and go to a wider place."
"We probably can't get away." You Su used the air energy cannon to blast away the purple mist that was condensing around them, and saw that spider webs had been spread all around them without them knowing when. These silent spider webs had super strong toughness, and the compressed wind force formed by the air cannon couldn't even tear this layer of spider webs apart. "We can't let it continue to weave webs."
Ying Chenlin: "Brother Huo, protective shield."
A spider web of this toughness is easy to get caught in one's own web, and using a protective shield is too passive.
Huo Yan had no choice but to remove the protective shield when he saw this. The spider web stuck to his shield and was very difficult to deal with. "Be careful of its spider web."
"No way? This is too difficult for me!" Ji Qingfeng was still holding a female mantis in his hand, and he was completely unable to move. He had just moved a few steps away when he was discovered by the black spider. Then he saw the spider silk coming towards him, "Oh my god!"
The spider silk hit his mecha accurately, and Ji Qingfeng had to use the short blade with his other hand. "Damn, it can't be cut! It's quite tough!"
Lin Yao jumped in front of Ji Qingfeng. The long sword in his hand was full of energy. He helped Ji Qingfeng cut the spider silk. "If it can be cut, the energy output will be 50%!"
Seeing this, Ying Chenlin fired a lightning cannon towards the sky, but the spider was very capable of moving on the web, and it quickly avoided the lightning cannon. By the time the lightning cannon hit the web, it had already moved some distance away.
Is the ability to move so fast? Ying Chenlin frowned slightly, and when he was about to continue aiming, he suddenly noticed that its movement paused for a moment.
But it soon started moving again, and the red spider on its back also began to spit out mist faster.
The surroundings were already surrounded by spider webs, and the increasingly thick purple fog had a great impact on the movements of all mechas. Ji Qingfeng was unable to move at all. With the female mantis carrying him, his mobility was almost zero. He could only stay where he was with Lin Yao, cleaning the spider silk and protecting the female mantis.
Ji Qingfeng said: "It's so touching. I have to protect my son even if I can't protect myself."
Lin Yao said: "Da Feng, it's a female."
"Gender doesn't matter." Ji Qingfeng dragged the female mantis to the side and said, "My dear child, your father is so protective of you. If you don't run harder later, I really won't be able to protect you when you cook at night."
The female mantis didn't understand a word and lay on the ground, being dragged around by Ji Qingfeng.
Huo Yan suggested: "Why don't we let Da Feng release the female mantis and let it lead us out?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Qingfeng immediately realized that they still had a displacement bug that ignored all environments. There was nothing to be afraid of with the spider web. He might as well let the mother mantis take them out.
Ji Qingfeng said with relief: "It seems that our children don't have to cook at night."
"Don't let go." Ying Chenlin looked up. "Even if we can determine the direction of the female mantis's displacement, we can't tell the distance and position of its displacement. Once it moves out, it will be difficult to find the spider again."
There is currently no response on the radar. The people in the Second Star Region really don't want to be tricked a second time, but they may not have locked onto the coordinates of the pollution source where the spider is located. Jifeng is dealing with one of them, and there are actually only two pollution sources left on the swamp forest and the mountain side.
The people from the second star field may split up again, with one team going to the mountains to snatch the last S-level, and the other team staying near the spider.
It is also possible that they are acting together and are moving towards one of the two pollution sources.
And because of geographical issues, the locations of these two pollution sources are not too far apart. They now have the advantage of mobility to increase the distance, and the people in the Second Star Region also know that they have a female mantis and generally will not follow them. But when they move away from here to another location, it is impossible for the people in the Second Star Region to fail to notice. -
"We are here, they may be afraid of the mother mantis's ability and won't come over, but if we move away, with the mecha's full speed, they will most likely change their route to grab the spider." Ying Chenlin said: "The mother mantis's ability can be used, but now is not the best time to use it."
The strength of the Dawn Mecha is too different from that of the Second Star Region, and the possibility of them winning in a head-on conflict is not high.
Now that the other party is afraid of the mother mantis's special abilities, this is actually the best time for them to take action.
"Huo Yan and Lin Yao switch positions. Lin Yao goes after the spider, and Huo Yan protects Ji Qingfeng." You Su used the energy cannon to blast away the spider web and mist. "As long as the spider web can be broken, there won't be a problem."
Ying Chenlin shared the same idea as You Su. In the narrow space, the range of their movement was limited. The most flexible among all the people were Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao. Ji Qingfeng had to control the mother mantis, and Lin Yao was the best person to chase the spider.
Seeing Lin Yao rushing forward and hacking at the spider, greatly restricting the spider's ability to move, Ying Chenlin and Lu Xi did not stop and started to clean up other spider webs. But the spider moved very quickly. After the spider web was cut by Lin Yao, it used spider silk to move quickly. Not only that, its ability to spin silk was also very strong. With multiple people cleaning up, the number of spider webs on the ground increased, but the number of spider webs on top did not decrease significantly.
Ying Chenlin was judging the spider's ability. The pollution value of 6800 was constantly changing. These two spiders probably had a symbiotic relationship. But the ability of the red spider behind is very simple, it just highlights the purple poisonous fog that confuses the vision, probably an A-level pollutant. The ability of the other black spider is not much displayed, because the toughness of spider silk is indeed high, but this toughness has not reached the S-level limit.
He had seen the tenacity of the Eight Vines, which also had the effect of counteracting damage. At that time, the pollution value of the Eight Vines should have been lower than 6,800.
That means the black spider's special ability is not the toughness of its silk, but something else.
At this moment, Lin Yao, who was chasing and chopping the spider in front, suddenly stopped and his entire mecha fell to the ground. This change caught everyone off guard. The black spider seemed to be waiting for this moment. It quickly spit out silk in the direction of Lin Yao, as if it wanted to wrap up the prey in front of it.
You Su frowned when he saw this situation. Without saying a word, he switched weapons and fired a concentrated sniper cannon towards the direction of the Black Spider. This time the black spider failed to dodge, its body bounced on the spider web, and its eyes immediately locked onto You Su.
Ying Chenlin quickly reached Lin Yao and asked, "Are you okay? Is it the poison from the spider web?"
"Is it not poisonous?" Huo Yan said, "I just touched the spider silk, but I didn't feel paralyzed."
Lu Xi also spoke up: "The stickiness of this spider's silk doesn't seem to be very high. I just used a water jet to flush the spider silk. The spider silk should not be poisonous. The poison may be in its mouthparts. It should be fine if you don't get hit by the frontal silk."
If the spider's teeth were poisonous, the fact that the others were not affected by the poison, but Lin Yao was affected, shows that the retention rate of the poison in the spider silk is not high. The only possibility is that one would feel a little paralyzed when being touched by the spider silk from the front.
Lin Yao's legs were numb, and he couldn't lift his right hand holding the weapon. "Its spider silk should be poisonous, but I avoided it. I'm sure I cut all the silk. But I don't know why I couldn't lift my legs and hands for a moment."
Ying Chenlin glanced at Lin Yao's mecha and found that there was no sign of spider silk entanglement on the hand holding the long sword, but there were a few strands of residual spider silk on his hand that stuck together and finally entangled the weapon. The same condition existed on his numb legs, except that these spider silks were basically the ones that had been cut by his long knife, and they just accidentally fell on his legs.
The only similarity is that these spider silks are stuck together.
Ying Chenlin suddenly thought of something. He looked up and saw the black spider moving quickly in Yousu's sniper cannon. It did not move by crawling on the spider web, but by using the free contraction of the spider silk to move between the trees, breaking the spider silk every time it moved.
Ji Qingfeng: "Yaobao, you better be careful!"
Lin Yao is a bit
Aggrievance: "But I really wasn't hit directly by it just now!"
"Lin Yao was not hit head-on, but the reason for his paralysis was indeed the spider's ability."
Ying Chenlin explained: "I seem to know what kind of supernatural power it is."
Lin Yao: "Isn't supernatural power a poison?"
"It shouldn't be. The poison it causes can only paralyze you for two seconds. If it's an S-level poisonous spider, it's too common." Ying Chenlin glanced at the surrounding environment and noticed the direction the poisonous spider was fleeing. He quickly said, "Lin Yao, go to the north to stop it. Don't attack the spider from a distance. Push down all the surrounding trees."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Chenlin saw You Su's sniper cannon hit a big tree.
The opponent moved very quickly, and pushing trees was easy for him. With the rapid changes of sniper cannons and energy cannons, all the surrounding trees fell down in less than 10 seconds.
"Wait! If the tree falls--"
As the tree fell, the spider webs on it fell down with it.
At this time, You Su and Ying Chenlin quickly changed their guns and fired a shot into the sky before the spider web fell. The shot created a big hole, and the tree fell backwards. The spider web was also broken in the high-energy burning. In the mess, the location of KID's mechas was safe, and there was no remnant of any spider web.
The spider didn't seem to expect the tree to fall. Seeing that its prey was stronger than itself, it calmly weaved a web and prepared to leave.
"Luxi!" Ying Chenlin shouted.
Lu Xi next to him had already fired a water bullet towards the spider. The water bullet broke the stickiness of the spider web, and several strands of the spider's silk broke, and the spider fell on the web it had woven.
Ying Chenlin was waiting for this moment. He adjusted the energy of the thunder and magnetic cannon and fired at the spider web where the black spider was.
Everyone watched as the black spider ran forward a few steps to avoid Ying Chenlin's attack, but the next second it seemed to be affected by something and stopped moving for a second. Ying Chenlin immediately seized this opportunity and fired another shot at the spider's position.
This time the spider didn't dodge, and the brief paralysis caused by the magnetic cannon affected its movements.
You Su narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the spider and the spider web underneath it: "So that's how it is."
He also adjusted his weapon, compressed the energy output and fired a shot towards the spider, and the spider had no ability to dodge.
KID and the others didn't understand. Huo Yan noticed that You Su and Ying Chenlin had adjusted the energy output of their weapons, and immediately understood: "They didn't destroy the spider web."
Ji Qingfeng didn't understand: "Ah? Is there any difference?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this spider's ability should be related to conduction." Ying Chenlin's lightning cannon bombarded the area around the spider silk, which also had an impact on the spider. "Its spider silk is not poisonous, but it is conductive, so as long as it touches the place where the spider silk is connected, once the poison in its mouthparts is released, it will affect a large area at the same time."
He then used the Thunderbolt Cannon to blast the spider silk again. "Look, I clearly blasted the spider silk, but it also had an impact on it."
Lin Yao understood immediately, "Ah! No wonder I was numb even though I wasn't hit head-on. Was it because the poison in the spider silk touched my feet and then spread?"
Ji Qingfeng looked at the giant spider. "Oh my goodness! If it had just woven its web and we were all in the middle of it, as long as it released poison from its mouthparts, all our mechas would be paralyzed and unable to move."
This is probably the purpose of these two spiders, to release fog to confuse their prey, to weave a web without their knowledge and then bring the prey under their control, to poison the prey and then eat it. The conductivity of this spider silk is so rare that it can catch a lot of prey with almost no effort.
Ji Qingfeng: "Wait, so the reason it can't move now is because of the magnetic cannon?"
Ying Chenlin: "Well, its poison has no effect on itself, but the control effect of our mecha seems to be able to be transmitted through the spider silk. And it is also very smart. Once it realizes that my lightning magnetic cannon is effective against it, the web it weaves will be broken."
Huo Yan smiled and said, "So as long as we knock down the surrounding trees, it will be difficult for it to continue to break the spider silk and move."
Ying Chenlin fired another shot, "Perhaps this is its own trap."
"Spider silk has high toughness. This spider silk has a conductive effect. This spider may not look strong, but its ability is not simple."
He said: "It seems we have found a treasure again."
Pollutants know how to use this ability to hunt. If this ability is used by humans, the effect will be more significant.
If made into a mecha weapon, this would be a power that could maximize the control effect.
Lin Yao pointed at its back, "Oh, and one more thing! If it's symbiotic, does the one behind it also have a supernatural crystal?"
Ying Chenlin: "There should be some, but I guess the red one at the back is only A or B level."
“Oh!” Lin Yao asked, “Can we make a sprayer like that? It can spray a lot of mist around, so that other people can’t see it.”
Ying Chenlin was stunned for a moment, and explained: "It can be done. This kind of weapon has also been used in other star regions. The fog blurs the vision. I have seen it in group battle videos."
Lin Yao was delighted when he heard this: "This is cool!"
The black spider was trapped in its own spider web and unable to move. It was quickly deprived of the ability to resist by KID's continuous attacks. It was struggling to survive in the spider web, while KID and his friends were discussing how to cut it into pieces.
Ying Chenlin: "But the rest of it seems very ordinary, it should be just ordinary S-grade material."
Luxi: "Then dig some to feed the bugs?"
Ji Qingfeng: "What are you feeding? It's too extravagant to feed with S-level materials!"
Luxi pointed at the motionless female mantis next to him and said, "But it has been exhausted by the fog just now. It seems to be dying?"
When they heard that she was about to die, everyone looked towards the female mantis.
The mecha is protected and not afraid of poison gas, but the queen insect has been smoked in the fog for a long time.
KID: “……?”
Is the mount going to be suffocated to death?
Ji Qingfeng hurriedly pulled the female mantis, "My dear, hold on!"
"Don't worry about that. The king insect is very tenacious."
Ying Chenlin looked at it and said, "It must be pretending to be dead."
KID: “?”
Ji Qingfeng wiped away his fake tears, "Then it seems that there is no need to feed him. If he has the strength to play dead, he must have the strength to run away."
Just as KID and the others were condemning the mother mantis for pretending to be dead, an emergency communication suddenly came through the communication channel inside the mecha. When they reacted, they found out that the communication was from Shen Xingtang and others.
As soon as Ji Qingfeng answered the call, he said, "Sister Tang, we just found another treasure—"
Before he could finish his words, he heard Shen Xingtang's serious voice: "Something happened."
When everyone stopped talking, You Su frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Five minutes ago, there was a riot over there in the mountains due to unknown pollutants."
The background noise in the communication was very noisy. Shen Xingtang said, "The Gale was attacked by a large amount of pollutants. People from the Second Star Region are also there."
The author has something to say:
Here we come! There will be two additional chapters in the evening, which should be two-in-one.
I'll make up for the extra chapters I owed yesterday with today's, and I should be able to finish it before ten o'clock!
I'll continue to liver!
