Not only were they suddenly discovered by the Starfire Insects, but they were also attacked by the Starfire Insects and Black Beetles, causing them to scatter and flee.
This happened so suddenly that no one had time to recall when they had been exposed. They could only hurriedly leave behind a few streaks of light that flashed by in the vast and deep universe to prove that they had once stayed there.
However, the sight of the massive hordes of Zerg chasing after those lights each time they flashed was even more awe-inspiring.
This wasn't the first time Mingmei and Muchen had worked together. Although they were piloting mechs this time, they had to use them as warships during their escape.
One person controlled the mech to escape, while the other retaliated by attacking the relentlessly pursuing Zerg.
"Following behind us are mainly black beetles, and there are only five starfire beetles."
Mingmei told Mu Chen about her observations.
"Well, after all, Starfire Bugs feed on stars and are rare offspring. Aside from in the game, you'll only ever see one or two Starfire Bugs in the real world."
"So, chasing after us for so long is quite a big deal, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Mu Chen's description, Mingmei cracked a joke to lighten the mood.
However, the lively atmosphere couldn't change the fact that they were being chased and the distance between them was constantly closing!
As they were speaking, several black beetles suddenly accelerated and rushed directly to the side and front of their mechs, swinging their large pincers as if to smash the mechs.
"Meimei! Release control!"
At the same time as Mu Chen shouted, Ming Mei had completely handed over control of the mecha to Mu Chen without the slightest hesitation.
Right now, with their path blocked, they have no choice but to engage in close combat!
The seat beneath Mu Chen instantly transformed into a platform. As he stood on it, Mingmei couldn't help but take a breath and shut her mouth to quiet down.
Next, Mu Chen took control of the mecha alone, his mental energy covering the entire mecha as he began close combat with the black beetle.
The agile humanoid mech skillfully dodged between the black beetle's dancing legs, occasionally even blocking the unavoidable pincers.
The mech, several meters tall, was sandwiched between two black beetles that resembled small mountains, and it held its own in the battle.
Mingmei could tell that Mu Chen was very skilled; no wonder the teacher always looked at Mu Chen differently from the others during combat lessons.
Especially when the teacher learned that their class would be participating in an eight-school exchange program after the end of the semester, the teacher's gaze towards Mu Chen became even gentler.
Of course, the look in Lu Xiaoyao's eyes grew increasingly disdainful. ヘ(__ヘ)
However, even though Mu Chen and these black beetles were evenly matched, more and more black beetles kept rushing towards them to join the battle.
Moreover, during the battle, Starfire Insects secretly launched sneak attacks.
Several times, Mu Chen narrowly avoided the scorching liquid sprayed by the Starfire Worm, making Mingmei sweat with worry and expressing her disdain for the Starfire Worm's actions.
There's no such thing as fair 1v1 combat here; on the battlefield, the Zerg are just that unreasonable.
People who can gang up on others and launch surprise attacks won't fight you one-on-one!
The same applies to them.
As a result, Mingmei saw Mu Chen, who had been ambushed by the Starfire Insects several times, suddenly curl the corners of his lips. When Mingmei saw Mu Chen like this, she knew that Mu Chen must be angry.
Moreover, he probably already has a plan in mind for how to kill the other party.
As Mingmei had predicted, the number of black beetles that Mu Chen faced increased dramatically, constantly squeezing the space where the mecha could move.
However, both the Black Beetle and the Starfire Beetle are too large. Even if they squeeze together and form a circle, the space is not small. This is not small relative to a person. If it were a mecha flying at high speed, it wouldn't be enough for it to accelerate and cover the distance in a second.
At this point, if the Starfire Insects were to launch another sneak attack on Mingmei and her team, they would be very likely to accidentally injure their "friendly forces."
The black beetle's shell is difficult to break with their physical and mech levels in the game. However, they clearly remember the scene when the Starfire Bugs first discovered them and their sudden attack injured the black beetle soldiers.
Using the Starfire Insects' attack, a gap was created in the Black Beetles' encirclement. Afterwards, Mu Chen instantly accelerated and charged out with his mecha!
After breaking out of the encirclement, Mu Chen quickly switched modes, and Mingmei once again gained the right to attack. Unfortunately, she discovered that the group of insectoids had not caught up with her.
"Huh? They've crossed the line, so it's no longer their jurisdiction?"
Mingmei looked at the group of Zerg behind her who had stopped fighting them and was very puzzled.
"It's like forcing monsters in a game to have an attack radius; once you leave their attack range, the monsters stop attacking you!"
"Oh, is that so?"
"Oh yeah? This is what games are all about."
Mu Chen smiled, his tone tinged with relief, "But this also shows that the Zerg that were chasing us weren't real Zerg in disguise."
Mingmei remembered what Mu Chen had said earlier: there might be a real insect playing the role in this round.
After speaking with Mingmei, Mu Chen took the opportunity to check his location using the star map to see how far he was from their agreed meeting place.
During this time, Mingmei also took a quick look at Lu Xiaoyao's live stream, and the screen was filled with "Ahhhhh!" which almost made Mingmei think something terrible had happened!
Oh no, something really big has happened.
Watching the live stream closely, I realized that the battle on Lu Xiaoyao's side was much fiercer than the battle on my side.
Lu Xiaoyao and Lou Jia were fleeing in the same direction, and it was fine for the two mechs to help each other, but as more and more Zerg were chasing them.
