Chapter 224
Chapter 224
The incident happened at a critical moment. When Lin Yao reacted, the black shadow claw was already in front of him. The black shadow swept him directly against the ice wall, creating a deep hole in the wall.
Lin Yao groaned, but his body reacted first. The mecha turned over and dodged the attack of the black shadow. "What is that? Is it Kronos?"
Right above the battle, You Su swept his light coldly, and the energy cannon in his hand suddenly changed direction, and blasted the pollutants away before the black shadow could catch Lin Yao again. When the energy cannon fired back, Ying Chenlin suddenly turned around and cut into the middle section. His Flowing Fire Sword split Lin Yao's space and he leaped in front of several mechas to protect them.
"It's not this one." You Su said coldly, "But it's not easy to deal with either."
The black shadow once again dived into the wind and disappeared without a trace in front of the three mechas.
Lin Yao's mech was damaged by the frontal claw attack by 2%. He took a few steps back cautiously. He didn't have the momentum to face the enemy head-on. He took a few steps back, knowing that his mech was already at the limit of damage and he couldn't do anything rash. "Be careful, that monster is very fast—"
Before he could finish his words, the pollutant appeared beside them again. It grabbed Ying Chenlin with its black claws at an extremely fast speed. The huge force from the claws pressed Ying Chenlin down, forcibly cracking the entire volcanic rock ice surface. The huge destructive force on the ground alerted the people around. The people from GBK and WHG all looked over. Ying Chenlin tried his best to hold up the black shadow above with his sword, and swept the black shadow around with the Flowing Fire Sword.
The black shadow floated flexibly in the air. It had no eyes, but it gave people the feeling that it was staring at Ying Chenlin. It hovered for a while, then quickly moved downwards again, its entire body hidden in the wind. It suddenly rushed downwards and crashed into Ying Chenlin again.
At this time, Lin Yao once again stretched out the space stick to slow down the impact, but the black shadow passed through the space in front of everyone, and suddenly changed direction in the air and rushed towards Lin Yao. Lin Yao took precautions this time. When it rushed over, he swept his long stick in the air. When the stick was about to hit the pollutant, the pollutant turned into a black shadow and disappeared along the stick. The next second, it suddenly attacked him from behind.
"Oh my god!" Lin Yao saw the sharp claws of the pollutant close to his shoulder.
At this moment, Ying Chenlin attacked from the side, and the Liuhuo Sword blocked Lin Yao's side, blocking a fatal attack. Lin Yao nimbly flew backwards to avoid it, and quickly distanced himself from the shadow. "Sure enough, this pollutant can penetrate the shield!"
"S-level pollutants."
Si Cheng caught the sign of the S-level pollution source flashing by on the radar, "Be careful, this pollution may have the ability to penetrate."
There are more and more pollutants around the ice cave, and this black shadow can penetrate the shield and cannot be blocked by normal means. After its insertion, the internal protection was directly disrupted, and two or three pollutants leaked in from the outside. EM Hidden took his guns and hid for a distance back. He was with his teammates and had no way to join this fast-paced battle. He had to put his teammates' mechas next to the broken ice on the ground, gritted his teeth, turned around and joined the battle.
EM Stealth used a short-range weapon that could eliminate superpowers. When he got close to the black shadow, his weapon touched the opponent's shadow, but it did not eliminate the superpowers of the black shadow's pollutants as expected. Instead, he was attacked by the opponent in the same way as Lin Yao, and fell to the ice. "That wind is not a superpower!?"
"How could it not be a supernatural power?"
Lin Yao said: "It's not that the supernatural power can't explain it."
"My weapon can eliminate superpowers. If the thing around it is a superpower, it will definitely take my damage." EM hid and dodged flexibly on the ice, "But my knife can't touch it."
Even if the effect lasts only 0.5 seconds, it can be eliminated if it is touched by a weapon. If it is not eliminated when touched, it cannot be a superpower.
While they were talking, two more pollutants from the outside came in. Zhao Lejie could only move to the side with his shield to block the pollutants. But as soon as he left, a new gap was left on the left. Ji Qingfeng was dealing with the angry S-class and had no time to take care of other things. Chi Liz's long-range weapon could only repel but had no control effect. He could not block one direction alone like Qi Sicheng could.
Zhao Lejie: "We need another person outside. We can't defend the gap."
EM Hide had no choice but to go over and fill the vacancy formerly occupied by the sink. Lin Yao's mecha only had 3% of its wear and tear left. He retreated to the side of the EM gun and took on the responsibility of protecting his teammates instead of Hide.
Ying Chenlin knew the power of EM's hidden weapon. When it could resist pollutants, the effect of his weapon was significant. The strange wind circle on the black shadow pollutant must be its supernatural power. This supernatural power could not only penetrate Zhao Lejie's shield, but also penetrate Lin Yao's space.
But why is it not working…?
The black shadow was suspended in the air. He locked onto Ying Chenlin again and suddenly bumped into Ying Chenlin as he ambushed him downwards. Ying Chenlin tried his best to block it with his sword, but the movement of the pollutant was too fast. Even though he captured the direction of the wind, he was unable to fully capture the movement of the pollutant.
"Yuan, can you calculate it?" Ying Chenlin waved away the pollutants with his sword again and said in a deep voice, "Its moving speed."
Yuan: "Shen Lin, it is impossible to calculate and capture."
High on the ice surface, the gunner mecha division that was digging had no time to care about their teammates below. Their task was to clear a way out as quickly as possible. Without clearing a way out, they would only be dragged down by the pollutants until their mechas were worn out and they would eventually become food for the pollutants.
"Yousuo." While assisting his mecha pilot, Theo was also capturing information about the surrounding environment. "It looks a lot like Kronos."
You Su was at a high place and could see the battle scene below more clearly. He could clearly see the details of the close combat between Ying Chenlin and the black shadow. There was no doubt about Ying Chenlin's combat level. His reaction speed was very fast, especially when driving the Mecha Yuan. His reaction speed to the enemy could be corrected immediately. Now several minutes had passed, and Ying Chenlin was still in a passive situation in the combat. It was very likely that Ying Chenlin had not yet accurately controlled the movement pattern of the pollutant.
Like a shadow, coming and going without a trace.
You Su looked at the special black shadow, and his memory suddenly went back to the polluted area on the border of the Third Domain more than three years ago. The huge pollutant arrived behind him silently and dealt him a fatal blow before he could react. The sharp claws penetrated the back of the mecha and deep into the cockpit, leaving scars on his back that have never been repaired.
"It's not Kronos." You Su's eyes were cold, "Kronos is controlling it."
Super S-level pollutants have the ability to drive lower levels. The higher the level of the Super S-level pollutants, the more pollutants they can drive. With Kronos's almost perverted talent and ability, it is easy for him to control all the pollutants in Slared.
"Ying Chenlin."
When Ying Chenlin was avoiding the attack of the black shadow, he suddenly heard You Su's voice in his ear. The voice came from the private chat channel established earlier. The other party's voice was not lazy as before, but rather serious, which was rarely heard.
You Su's voice was accompanied by subtle operating movements in the cockpit. The sound of artillery bombardment in the distance did not stop. Ying Chenlin knew that You Su was observing this side.
"Kronos is a pollutant that can manipulate time. You've seen what it's best at, which is to speed up the time of pollutants in a region to quickly contain them." You Suo continued, "But its ability is not limited to a region. It can also speed up the flow of time on a single pollutant."
Ying Chenlin paused slightly, and suddenly realized something from You Su's words.
"That shadow is not in the same time dimension as you." You Su said coldly, "When you drew your sword towards it, your movements were slow in its eyes."
Changes in time are difficult to measure with the eyes. Changes in a short period of time are so subtle that they are difficult to detect with the body. Changes over a long period of time require comparison to clearly capture the details of the changes. If the control was simply to speed up or slow down, then they had seen speed pollutants do that before...
But time is different. Time can bring too many changes to a creature, speeding up the flow rate that is unique to this creature. So for it in battle, the increase brought by each battle is difficult to estimate. The speed of battle increases, the awareness of battle changes to a higher level, and the body functions can achieve more changes in the same amount of time...
"How much faster is it than me?" Ying Chenlin asked.
"No more than 10 seconds." You Suo said calmly, "But this is data from more than three years ago."
Data from three years ago…? Ying Chenlin paused when he heard this. Three years ago, You Su had not yet come to KID. At that time, You Su was still working as a free mercenary in various polluted areas. The two of them had no intersection at all. "Have you seen Kronos?"
Before he could finish his words, the black shadow came to Ying Chenlin's side again, and with a sudden wave of its black claws, it knocked Ying Chenlin flying and crashed onto the ice. Ying Chenlin didn't have time to think more. He escaped from the broken ice and pushed the thrusters hard, creating a distance of more than ten meters between him and the black shadow again.
"Ying Chenlin?!" Qi Sicheng noticed that Ying Chenlin was suppressed, and his eyes fell on Ying Chenlin involuntarily, "Are you okay?"
"Chen Lin!" Lin Yao wanted to go over and help with a stick in his hand, but he stopped. The wear and tear was too high and there was no room for error. If he had known earlier, he and Alice would not have fought too hard. Otherwise, they could have held on a little longer and not been helpless.
“…It’s okay.” Ying Chenlin glanced at the wear and tear of the mecha. The damage caused by this pollutant was very high. His peripheral vision fell on Lin Yao and the EM guns in the distance. He had to get rid of this pollutant. The damage it caused was too high. Keeping this pollutant would be a huge hidden danger to both the damaged mecha and other mecha divisions in the battle.
When You Su saw the situation below, his face darkened a little. His eyes wandered between the location coordinates on the radar. The speed of several guns and cannons to clear the way was already very fast, but this speed was not fast enough. The appearance of this black shadow meant that the super S-level pollutant was approaching them... If the black shadow pollutant wanted to gain amplification, the closer it was to the super S-level pollutant, the more obvious the result of its impact would be. This pollutant could not be left alone and had to be resolved as soon as possible.
He said: "Ying Chenlin, change--"
"You said it won't take more than 10 seconds?" Ying Chenlin interrupted You Suo. "I just saw that its pollution value is no more than 8000, which means it is far less difficult than the blue heart we dealt with before. Does the amplification effect of super S-level pollutants on low-level pollutants have anything to do with its own pollution value?"
"It is related, but not much." You Su frowned, "You want to?"
"Then I understand." Ying Chenlin exhaled softly, "Then it shouldn't take more than 5 seconds, or even less."
Pollutants are just like humans. The species conditions themselves have already determined their evolutionary space, but organisms are not mechas. If a time flow rate that exceeds their physical skills is imposed on them, the time flow rate that their own functions can withstand is limited. Of course, the physical strength of pollutants is much stronger than that of the human body. From the speed at which these pollutants gather in a short period of time, we can know that the time flow rate imposed on them by the Super S-Class Kronos is at least three times that of theirs.
In addition, their time was slowed down by Kronos. If acceleration and deceleration exist at the same time, that is, in the time they walk for 1 second, the pollutant will have already been 2 seconds or 2 and a half seconds later. ※
It is difficult to imagine using human functions to operate a mecha to chase a space for 10 seconds, but it is not impossible to chase it for 2 seconds.
You Su had a bad feeling, "Ying Chenlin, don't use too much mental power."
"Chen Lin." Yuan asked.
Ying Chenlin calmly observed the black shadow in front of him. After confirming with You Su, the speed of his mecha's thrusters increased a bit, and the rhythm of attacking the black shadow became faster and fiercer. The black shadow was even faster, and when it noticed that its prey was accelerating, its entire body transformed into the speed of wind, and it flashed behind the red and white mecha. It moved its black claws and hit Ying Chenlin again.
The noise of the battle between sink and shadow attracted the attention of the surrounding powerful mechas. While dealing with the S-level pollutant, Claude glanced in the direction of sink and also noticed the abnormality of the shadow pollutant, "Special penetrating pollutant."
"Strange, it should be a wind-type pollutant." Bai Xuyan then judged: "It is impossible that the black shadow is completely elusive. The speed seems to be a little wrong."
"Alice." Claude said, "Did the pollutant see it?"
Alice used a hammer to knock away the pollutants around her without looking back: "It's not a speed type. It thinks very quickly. One unit can't deal with it."
Bai Xuyan: "Even the sink can't catch it."
He had seen the sink's reaction speed. When using displacement to drag them into the energy tube encirclement, the sink could escape the encirclement in the first time, and the reaction speed of this pollutant surpassed that of the sink.
This situation is so weird, it's like the pollutant is thinking faster than humans.
The reaction speed of S-level pollutants is indeed very fast, but I have never seen a reaction speed faster than that of humans. Could it be that the brain of this pollutant has been enhanced? ?
Claude is a GBK stealth mecha. As a stealth mecha, the priority criterion for judging the opponent is to compare speed. The faster the stealth mecha is, the more advantages it has. The speed of the shadow pollutant does not seem fast, but a closer look reveals that its immediate reaction speed and assault capability are very fast. This speed is not a speed bonus, but a reaction action that it chooses after careful consideration.
It is not easy to deal with. Judging from the current situation, it achieves the penetration effect by moving its body. This kind of penetration can penetrate shields and mechas. The strange wind circle around it is most likely the wind circle generated by its supernatural power. There is a very short pause in its movement, which means it takes time to drive its supernatural power.
It is difficult to deal with it from a distance, so you have to use close combat, and you need two or more close combat machines to surround it, block its direction, and then seize its pause point to counterattack.
Claude landed on the pollutant. Penetrating pollutants were rare. While he was still judging the pollutant, he suddenly saw Sink's mecha being hit against the ice wall by the pollutant.
“Trouble.” Alice snorted and shouted in the direction of Lin Yao: “Don’t confront it head-on, run with the mecha.”
The black shadow lost interest in the mecha that had been fleeing in front of it. Its pupil-less body moved a little closer to the two mechas not far away that had weaker energy and little resistance. The urgent desire to eat told it to destroy all the moving things in front of it. It rushed straight towards Lin Yao, who pushed it back with a stick, forcing it to retreat several steps. He also threw the mechas around him to the side.
Avoid getting involved in a fight.
"We need help." Claude fought off the pollutants in front of him and was about to have his own controlled mecha suppress the S-level pollutants first, but suddenly he saw the red and white mecha that fell into the ice move again.
Alice paused in her backward steps and looked in the direction of the sink in surprise. "The speed has changed. It's slowed down."
At the moment when the black shadow was approaching the EM guns and Lin Yao again, the red and white mecha's thrusters pushed forward suddenly, and the wind and fire of the Liuhuo Sword blocked its way like a fire tornado.
The black shadow impatiently changed its speed again. When it stretched out its claws towards the red and white mecha again, the red and white mecha seemed to predict the direction of its attack. The mecha and the black claws passed by each other. The next second, the Flowing Fire Sword swung horizontally, and at the moment when the black shadow retreated and paused, the fire touched the body of the pollutant that stayed briefly in the wind, and the whole pollutant was blown away with great force.
boom--
The Pollutant's entire body smashed into the ice wall. Claude looked over in surprise, "Hit it!?"
High in the sky, You Su’s eyes darkened.
Ying Chen is calculating.
Mental power filled the entire mecha space. Ying Chenlin tried hard to suppress the fatigue from overusing his mental power. His eyes moved rapidly, quickly scanning all the surrounding scenes. When the black shadow turned into wind and attacked again, the wind direction sensor in the mecha popped up, he had already changed direction and rushed towards another location. There was a deviation between the direction of the attack and the direction of the black shadow.
Bai Xuyan: "Direction——"
At this time, the red and white mecha's Flowing Fire Sword was swung horizontally again, and huge flames swept across the black shadow in the air. At the moment when the black shadow dispersed and condensed again, the sword body hit back and directly locked onto the black shadow, knocking it away again.
The black shadow slammed into the ice wall again, and the black wind around it was looming. It seemed that it did not expect that the mecha would hit it, and its movements became ferocious again. This time it ignored Lin Yao's two mechas, and rushed towards Ying Chenlin again.
"Chen Lin!" Yuan said.
Ying Chenlin's eyes were not looking at the black shadow, but at the position in front of the black shadow, as if he was looking at something through the direction where the black wind was blowing.
left? Not the right side. He forcibly changed the position of the Flowing Fire Sword. After the wind and fire burned through the black wind, it quickly found the stopping point and hit the black shadow again.
After three consecutive hits on the black shadow, Claude and Alice's eyes darkened.
Is the sink fast? Not fast, two points slower than his original attack, but he was able to accurately hit the pause point of the black shadow's pollutant ability change. How did he keep up with the speed of the black shadow! ? No, it should be how does he know where the black shadow stopped?
You Su could see more clearly from a high place and could also see the details in the movements of the red and white mecha.
Ying Chenlin was calculating. In his previous fight with the black shadow, he judged the direction of the black wind around the black shadow, and based on the direction and the opponent's attack habits, he predicted the possible actions of the black shadow in 2 seconds.
In the air, the speed of the battle between the black shadow and the red and white mechas increased. The movements of the mecha and the pollutant changed, and there was a thick black wind and scorching flames. The collision between the black and the red was overwhelming.
The clear flames rolled up in the air again, and the Flowing Fire Sword once again appeared appropriately on the trajectory of the black shadow's movement. The red and white mecha moved slightly, and the sword fire brought a moving afterglow, slashing horizontally and vertically, dispersing the black wind again.
"Left." Ying Chenlin held the sword in his backhand and caught the black shadow on Feng San's left side. The sword hit the pollutants from top to bottom to the ground, and banged open the entire volcanic rock and ice surface.
The black shadow stopped moving, and the red and white mecha shot down from a high altitude. The Flowing Fire Sword suddenly stabbed into the wind circle, pinning the pollutant firmly to the ice surface. The red and white mecha's Flowing Fire Sword pierced into the body and did not let go. A large amount of energy dissipated from the sword's body, and the scorching fire burned the pollutants. When the opponent wanted to escape, Ying Chenlin changed the sword into a staff and once again beat the black wind back into the deep pit.
With this fall, the black wind dissipated, revealing the original form of the pollutant that was originally wrapped by the black wind, a pollutant that looked like a wolf.
Ying Chenlin exhaled heavily. His mind had not yet recovered from the prediction of two seconds later. When he heard the noise beside his ear, he had already jumped two meters away. At this time, an energy cannon fell from the air and hit the deep pit that Ying Chenlin had originally dug, and smashed the pollutant that had released its original prototype into the pit again.
Ying Chenlin looked up into the air in shock, his rapidly thinking brain seemed to turn back and he stood there without moving.
After You Su fired one shot, he quickly followed up with another, suppressing the entire pollutant and knocking it unconscious in the pit.
At this moment, the black wind at the bottom of the pit suddenly swelled up. Ying Chenlin realized something and hurriedly said, "Get out of the way!"
All the mecha soldiers retreated to the tank's shield after hearing the sound. The next second, the deep pit where the black wind was originally located suddenly exploded. The entire body of the black shadow pollutant exploded. A large amount of black wind exploded with energy, and several mechas were thrown to the back.
"Oh my god!? Self-destruction?!" Zhao Lejie said in astonishment.
Ying Chenlin climbed out of the ice wall and saw the energy crystal in the exploded body from the thick black smoke. He went down to pick up the energy crystal and said, "It didn't explode on its own. It seems that the body exploded."
"Ying Chenlin, can you stand?" You Su asked.
"It's not that bad. He can stand. He will be fine after a rest." Ying Chenlin wiped the sweat from his forehead and withdrew his mental power. He subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Yao. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Yao was safe and sound in the broken space. When he withdrew his gaze, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the mecha next to him. His pupils suddenly shrank, "Wait, the defense circle of the mecha has faded."
The blue defense shield surrounding the EM gun mecha was not as transparent as before, giving off a strange feeling that its energy was about to run out.
The author has something to say:
