Chapter 11
Ying Chenlin fired a shot of his thunder and magnetic cannon at the vine. The mutated Nine Dragon Vine had very few stems and leaves on its body, and it was difficult to see its entire appearance in the dark forest. The vine waving in the air looked like a large octopus, and all that could be seen was the green-brown vine.
At this moment, Ying Chenlin suddenly noticed its roots.
-
The DE team, which was closest to them, suffered the most severe damage. They had thought that the threat posed by the Nine Dragon Vine was just that, and that they could easily deal with it with their 12 mechas. However, who knew that the Nine Dragon Vine, which had been well-behaved, would suddenly erupt, catching none of them off guard.
Xu Yaojun looked at the situation and frowned tightly.
Before he left KID, he heard the discussion between Shen Xingtang and Jiang Simiao behind their backs and knew the source of the pollution. In addition, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao's mechas were damaged. With his ability, it would be a piece of cake for him to snatch the energy crystal from KID.
He volunteered to come to the Banut contaminated area for this mission to the DE team. After transferring from the KID team to the DE team, he needed an opportunity to establish his own prestige.
DE gave him a chance and sent him 11 A-class mechas to assist him, but who knew that some of the mechas could not withstand the riot of the Nine Dragon Vine.
"Don't you know how to dodge? You've lost so much by being thrown at once?" Xu Yaojun said with a cold face: "Don't you know how to dodge when it attacks?"
"Brother Xu, it's too fast."
"Yeah, it has so many vines, how can it possibly avoid them all?"
"Brother Xu, we are not as powerful as you, and we don't have a championship-level mecha."
Xu Yaojun did not give up and led several waves to advance. However, the attack distance of the vines became farther and farther. After several rounds of encirclement, they did not cut down many vines. Instead, the damage to the mecha became higher and higher.
The other mecha warriors of DE couldn't help but have some complaints. In order to surround Jiulongteng and not give KID a chance to cut in, most of them came with tanks and guard mechas, and there were only two gun mechas and control mechas. They all crowded in the front to block the attack of the vines, while Xu Yaojun was hiding in the back driving a racing-level gun mecha. He still had the nerve to say that they were holding back?
The attack lasted for fifteen minutes, and not only the DE, but also the surrounding mechas were damaged to varying degrees.
Xu Yaojun felt the situation was tricky, so he immediately found a suitable high point and charged the energy cannon.
The weapons of the racing-class mecha have the effect of A-class energy crystals. Xu Yaojun's energy cannon is not an ordinary energy cannon. It has a high-level burning effect when it hits the target, and is more powerful than ordinary energy cannons.
He invested 20% of his energy at once, intending to blast a gap with one shot, "Everyone stand back."
DEThe others stepped back one after another, and Xu Yaojun charged forward and fired.
With a bang, the Nine Dragon Vine that was originally waving seemed to realize the danger. It suddenly withdrew, revealing its fang-like mouth that had been hidden under the vine, and directly swallowed Xu Yaojun's energy cannon!
Xu Yaojun cursed: "This isn't a fucking vine!"
From high up, Ying Chenlin saw this scene and his eyes suddenly became serious.
It can devour the pollutants of energy cannons... The ability of this Nine Dragon Vine does not seem to be a simple A-level ability crystal.
"Devouring effect." You Su said, "This thing is not a simple vine."
"Swallow!? Isn't the Nine Dragon Vine's ability to regenerate?" Ji Qingfeng's face turned pale when he heard this: "I remember that the energy crystals with swallowing effects in the alliance are all S-level energy crystals, right...?"
"Have we encountered an S-level supernatural crystal?!" Lin Yao's eyes lit up, "I'll go down and scout the way for you!"
Ying Chenlin's attention was focused on the guard mecha that was rushing down. Lin Yao was a melee mecha master. He shuttled between the vines very quickly. As he passed by, the vines were cut off one after another.
However, being cut off is only temporary, as the vines have a very strong regeneration ability, completing regeneration almost every 10 seconds.
This situation is weird. The vine's regeneration ability is not so strong at the beginning, but as it fights longer, its regeneration ability increases rapidly.
Severed vines can regenerate, and long-range energy cannons will be swallowed up by the strange buds they protect.
It was as if the energy that the flower bud had swallowed had all turned into nutrients for the Nine Dragon Vine...
The scene became extremely chaotic. The DE team's initial encirclement formation was completely disrupted by the Nine Dragon Vine. Especially when the devouring effect came out, the people around immediately became wary.
In the chaotic state, the mecha masters present had only one goal, which was the Nine Dragon Vine's supernatural crystal.
That is an S-level supernatural crystal with a devouring effect. If it is made into a weapon, it will be a weapon with a devouring effect.
More and more mechas attacked the Nine Dragon Vine, but the mad Nine Dragon Vine's attack became more and more fierce. It swept the surrounding mechas, and mechas were knocked away one after another, and more and more mechas were damaged.
Lin Yao entered the field three times, and the vines that had been cut soon reappeared. "I can't do it. It's too annoying to have this problem of regenerating."
"We made one mistake."
In the chaotic and noisy environment, a young and calm voice came from the communication channel.
Hearing an unfamiliar voice in the communication channel, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao immediately looked at the B-class mecha that had been silent. This person's presence was too weak. The other long-range mecha would occasionally talk, but this B-class mecha had not spoken since the two of them entered the communication.
Ji Qingfeng asked: "What's wrong?"
Ying Chenlin highlighted a few points in the channel's shared vision and said, "This is not a pollutant, they are in a symbiotic relationship."
In the field of vision, the pollution value of the coordinates where the Nine Dragon Vine is located has soared to 6000, and the value is still unstable.
The gray mecha still stayed at the farthest place, stuck at the maximum distance of the Nine Dragon Vine's attack, watching the chaotic battlefield indifferently.
You Su listened casually to the calm voice of the boy in the communication channel. The high-power scope of the sniper gun was always locked on the roots of the Nine Dragon Vine, and he could see the appearance of the Nine Dragon Vine bit by bit along the roots.
The pollution value is indeed abnormal, reaching the standard of S-level pollutants, but it is extremely unstable.
Ji Qingfeng's doubts were answered in the communication channel.
"It's a symbiotic relationship. The Nine Dragon Vine and the flower bud are symbiotic. The Nine Dragon Vine has a strong attack capability and carries the ability to regenerate, while the flower bud that grows under the protection of its roots has the ability to devour." Ying Chenlin explained: "It's impossible for a pollutant to have two different abilities. If they are in a symbiotic relationship, some of the relationships can be explained."
The flower bud feeds back the absorbed energy to the Nine Dragon Vine, and the Nine Dragon Vine provides protection for the flower bud.
The more people there are, the more energy is given to the flower bud, and the stronger the Nine Dragon Vine becomes.
Ji Qingfeng understood it immediately: "This means that the group of mecha masters from DE have fattened up the Nine Dragon Vine!?"
"Fattened up? Wouldn't that make it harder to fight?" Lin Yao thought about it, "I remember Xu Yaojun's shot just now. If not 10%, then at least 15% of his power... How fat must he be!?"
15% in one shot? ? ?
Ji Qingfeng almost fainted: "...I really want to thank him."
In other words, the Nine Dragon Vine could go crazy to this extent only because it received enough energy from other mecha masters.
The area around the Nine Dragon Vine was in a mess. Many mechas had to retreat hundreds of meters due to excessive damage. Only five mechas from DE were left on the field. Several other mechas were
Evacuate in the direction of the contaminated area exit.
Ji Qingfeng saw the situation and said, "Good fellow, DE can't win and has to go out to find external help?"
"No way, if you can't beat it, just run away?" Lin Yao asked again: "Then can we still beat it?"
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao are not the type to use their brains. The rising pollution level has cut off communications with the outside world. They now have only two choices: either stay here and find a solution, or withdraw from the contaminated area and seek help.
"No, our lineup is very good."
Ying Chenlin simply activated his right hand and reconnected the spiritual tentacle that had been disconnected for a long time to his right arm. "The Nine Dragon Vine has always been so strong because DE's inertial thinking is all about attacking its roots. If it is replaced with other plant-based pollutants, destroying the roots is the easiest way, but it cannot be used against the Nine Dragon Vine."
When dealing with the Nine Dragon Vine, the more you attack its roots, the more energy that penetrates into its roots will become the nutrients transferred to it by the flower buds.
The energy cannons of DE's gun mechas have been attacking its roots, while the surrounding melee mechas are all covering the gun mechas, which has led to the current situation.
Ji Qingfeng hesitated for a moment: "If we don't destroy the roots, how can we deal with it? It has the ability to regenerate. Should we continue to fight it?"
Ying Chenlin simply said: "We will kill the flower bud first, and then the Nine Dragon Vine."
When Lin Yao heard that he could kill, he became active: "How?"
"Since the flower bud absorbs energy and is protected by the Nine Dragon Vine... then it's very simple. We just need to not feed energy to the flower bud and use melee weapons to deal with it." Ying Chenlin adjusted his vision and locked onto the roots of the Nine Dragon Vine. "The premise is that we need to be close enough to lift the protective layer of the flower bud at close range."
Ji Qingfeng said: "Entering the arena is a difficult point. The only control weapon we have is a binding chain."
Ying Chenlin: "What if we add the thunder and magnetic cannon and gun firepower?"
You Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Don't be in a hurry."
His sight fell on DE and others who were fleeing in a panic in the distance, "I don't really like giving others chances, what about you?"
Ying Chenlin paused for a moment while adjusting the mecha parameters, and suddenly looked at the gun mecha.
Ji Qingfeng looked towards where DE and the others were with sudden realization, "To be honest, I feel the same way."
He generously revealed another hobby of his: "I also like to watch villains get beaten up, what about you?"
Lin Yao perked up and belatedly joined the conversation: "Beat Xu Yaojun?"
"Xu Yaojun?" Ying Chenlin asked doubtfully.
"Oh, that's the red mecha that was mixed in with the DE. It was originally from our team..." Lin Yao didn't mention the fact that Xu Yaojun might have colluded with the maintenance engineer, and continued, "He is familiar with the management of the DE. He mocked me and Dafeng when he left, saying that our mechas were rubbish. It was the two of us who first discovered the Nine Dragon Vine. When we were halfway through the fight, he brought the DE people to force us to retreat."
Ying Chenlin understood.
After a while, he said, "Then you can beat him."
Lin Yao nodded: "Yeah!"
The author has something to say:
I hope Xu Yaojun gets beaten up, and I'll take some money from poor Dafeng and Yaobao's piggy banks to give everyone red envelopes.
See you tomorrow~
