Chapter 115 Harvest

"Li Yi, now that we are outnumbered, do we still have to wait for these giant creatures to hatch successfully?"

The pharmacist asked politely.

Li Yi said: "It's not necessary. This is not a virtual ruins. One mistake could lead to our annihilation. As usual, as long as it is a giant egg over 100 meters in size, we will dig a tunnel to get closer and spare no effort."

Judging from Li Yi’s performance in the seventh virtual ruins, one sword from him was enough to destroy the giant eggs of the lion-headed creature.

But this time he was so cautious that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, despite the doubts, the cautious people will naturally not ignore them.

Therefore, after quickly arriving at the target location this time, they began to dig a hole.

The target this time is the leopard-headed creature that possesses the divinity of the God of Fire sequence, which was reported by Yang Hao's team in public intelligence.

This leopard-headed creature is sixty meters tall before catalysis. After being instantly catalyzed in the incubator, it can be transformed into a giant divine mecha of 120 meters, with quite astonishing strength.

Therefore, when Yang Hao's team encountered this thing, they failed to break through twice in a row and had to find other paths.

This time, the mechas' strength had already been improved, and they worked hard, completing the underground passage in just 8 minutes.

When the passageway was 8 meters away from the pit where the giant egg was, Li Yi said:

"Although we should be cautious, we still have to do what we should do in order to maximize the benefits. After the first wave smashes the giant egg, we need to wait for the opponent to mechaize for 5 seconds. The goal is simple, which is to obtain the divine core of the opponent who has mechaized halfway."

"This kind of core is solidified, so there is no need to worry about the loss of divinity. It can be used continuously and has a higher value."

"According to the records of Yang Hao's team, the leopard-headed creature's hum-ha flames are extremely fierce. Even if it is a divine mecha, as long as it cannot support the divine shield, it will be burned and collapsed if it touches it. It is very dangerous."

"I have checked the battle records of other teams and this leopard-headed creature and confirmed that this Hengha flame can be defended against with absolute zero degrees."

"So, after I break the eggshell in advance, Zhang Xuqiang, you need to use the freezing wave to seal the entrance of the passage. After the first wave of the leopard-headed creature's hum-ha flames has passed, you can attack with all your strength. Do you understand?"

Everyone responded that they understood.

…

Boom!!! The entrance of the passage was quickly pierced by Tan Haoran’s explosive flames.

The Hades mecha held the Zanpakutō sword, accelerated with the Five-fold Skystep, and then used the high-speed heat flow of the Wind and Fire Recommender to fly in front of the giant egg that had just detected the enemy invasion, and swung the sword down! Swish! Swish! The sword light flashed twice, and the next moment, the two sides of the giant egg were cut off by the Zanpakutō swords, like peeling peanuts. The two outermost shells fell to the left and right with a clang, revealing the leopard-headed creature with its eyes wide open.

Feeling the sudden disappearance of the external blockade, the leopard-headed creature's yellow and spotted head instinctively raised up, wanting to roar.

Suddenly, the Zanpaku sword hit the leopard-headed creature head-on, like a slap in the face, causing the leopard-headed creature to stagger, and its crouching body immediately tilted.

In the cockpit, Li Yi was rarely naughty and then stepped back.

At the same time, he used the Pluto's divinity to activate the advanced divine skill of the sticky word skill, Absolute Fluid! As he became more familiar with this skill and the ninth divine gene was generated, he now had enough spare energy to cover his entire body with Absolute Fluid.

Although his full-body coverage was a partial compromise in technique, its defensive power was much lower than his initial single-sided coverage of the palm.

But it was still quite easy to defend against the subsequent hum-ha flames from the leopard-headed creature.

The next moment.

The leopard-headed creature quickly recovered from its unbalanced state. At the same time, as it moved, a large number of leather armor layers and outer armor layers like steel armor instantly formed out of thin air outside its upright body.

One after another, the extremely hard armor surface with a cold glow extends with a large number of thick muscle fibers, connecting the tiny armor pieces up and down.

Amid the clattering sounds, the speed was so fast that it seemed as if there was an invisible mechanical factory working at high speed inside and outside the body of the leopard-headed creature.

At the same time, as if to guard against external enemies, the leopard-headed creature raised its head and two "Hum" sounds suddenly came from its nose.

Boom!!! Fire! Countless flames suddenly ignited around the incubator, like a bright yellow tide that instantly filled the entire pit.

For a moment, heat flowed continuously inside and outside the pit, and the surrounding special alloy ground turned into countless metal juices in the blink of an eye, emitting an overly bright light.

Inside the passage entrance, the ice seal created by absolute 0 degrees was rapidly melting, becoming shallower and thinner.

Zhang Xuqiang did not hesitate and continued to spray freezing waves to seal the ice opening.

The ice hole was getting bigger and bigger.

Pharmacist Wan stopped Zhang Xuqiang from continuing and said:

"Don't worry, we only need to wait a few seconds. There's no need to freeze it for so long. We can save our mental energy if we can."

At this moment, the agreed 5 seconds has just arrived.

Crack, crack.

As the frozen cave entrance melted quickly, the divine skills that the mechas had already prepared began to burst out!

In an instant, colorful lights flashed everywhere, and beams from various energy cannons all hit the leopard-headed creature in the mecha.

Even Sun Duxiu, who had never demonstrated long-range skills before, now used the power armor to launch his long-range skills, the pneumatic cannon! That was a way to directly transform the power god's divinity into a divine energy cannon.

Although it does not have the diverse and changeable characteristics of other divine attributes, it is powerful and fierce enough!

At the same time, the Pluto mecha in the corner also dispersed the absolute fluid synchronously, holding the Zanpaku sword, and began to charge! Some teammates used divine skills to weaken the opponent's total divinity and slow down the rhythm.

At this moment, he only needs to complete the last few strikes to remove the divine core from the opponent's chest, and the hunt will be complete!

Immediately, the Pluto mecha leaped forward, infused with divinity, and slashed down with a sword.

…

After successfully obtaining this divine nucleus which is equivalent to C-level and quite close to B.

Everyone worked together and followed the same method, continuing to search for the divine nucleus hunting targets that existed in public intelligence.

Of course, the bodies will naturally be packed up and placed in place, with the battle records kept and the ownership marked. Then you can wait for the next return to the team and send them to the logistics team to hand over the resources.

In the entire second level, there were only a few people who were rewarded by the Biological Research Institute and had made great military achievements, and the largest elephant head had already been captured by them.

Therefore, if you take a detour to capture other bounties, it will waste a lot of time and manpower.

Therefore, their best option at the moment is to sweep the surrounding creatures without a bounty and seize and hand over their incubators, eggshells, corpses, divine nuclei and other items.

As a mobile team, they normally need to hand over 40% of their income to the Yao Chi ship as the corresponding comprehensive costs for management, equipment, transportation, processing, training, etc.

Compared with the 60% submission ratio required by the exploration team, they offered an additional 20% discount.

The reason for this is that the right to collect resources along the main routes belongs to the exploration teams at each major level.

The main task of these mobile teams that enter the exploration early is to collect scrap resources that will not affect the original route of the exploration team.

These are rules agreed upon in advance to prevent internal competition for resources.

And this is exactly what Li Yi and the others want.

After all, their main targets are basically outside the main routes.

As for the resources within the main route, they just happen to be coordinated by Liang Zhishen and Chen Qiong's weaving team.

Therefore, this arrangement can maximize the interests of everyone and minimize the difficulty.

It can be seen that when the upper level made the arrangements, they must have also made corresponding considerations and internal bargaining.

…

When the team swept through and captured the four types of divine creatures, namely the God of Wind, God of Fire, God of Thunder, and God of Ice, half an hour had passed.

At this moment, the third level exploration team led by Liang Zhishen also rushed over after entering the third level from the fourth level.

With the public channel communication, everyone's communication speed was much faster, and they soon gathered at the checkpoint of the third level on the second level.

Therefore, before in cabin 18, Li Yi had already greeted Liang Zhishen under the introduction of Chen Qiongzhi.

This time, as soon as they got down, everyone did not hesitate and rushed to the third level.

It is worth mentioning that Liang Zhishen’s group consists of 10 people.

There are four middle-level evolvers, and the other six are first-level evolvers who have condensed eight or nine divine genes.

Apart from Liang Zhishen, the only one equipped with divine weapons was a mid-level mecha master.

In terms of instance configuration, it is slightly better than Li Yi's team.

But in terms of actual combat power, they are probably not as good as Li Yi's team.

Originally, there was no consensus between the two sides on this point.

But when Liang Zhishen's group saw that each member of Li Yi's group was equipped with divine equipment, they immediately realized how big the gap was.

When they met, Liang Zhishen smiled and said to the team members:

"Li Yi is the most brilliant talent on our Yao Chi in the past few decades. In terms of strength alone, I estimate that he can beat any four of you combined."

"Don't underestimate him because he is only in the first year of the special class training room. In fact, because of his previous achievements and contributions, he is already the on-site staff officer of our exploration team. You must listen to his instructions as long as they do not exceed my requirements. Do you understand?"

What else could the team members do? They immediately responded in unison.

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Coach Liang, didn't you say last time that Staff Officer Guan Shanyue would be assigned to your team? Why don't I see him?"

"He, he said he was going to go somewhere else and then meet up with us later."

Liang Zhishen smiled and said, "Anyway, he is quite strong and is familiar with the strategy. If he only moves on one or two floors, it shouldn't be a big deal if he is careful. Even if he encounters danger, at worst he can run away by himself."

Li Yi thought so too.

According to his initial perception of Guan Shanyue, although not very accurate, he should be much stronger than Ma Ruhu.

"Okay, let's go and crack the divine light bomb."

…

In the blink of an eye, time passes.

The three fleets jointly developed the game, with unprecedentedly sufficient manpower and complete intelligence. As long as the scale trap of the ruins is not triggered, there will be almost no difficulties in the first five levels.

Not long after, with the assistance of Liang Zhishen's team, Li Yi's team completed the excavation of the passage within 5 minutes and successfully dismantled the Shenguan bomb.

Three members of the team were assigned to deliver the Shenguan bombs back to the logistics unit first to prevent any loss.

After all, this is a strategic weapon and deserves to be treated with such caution.

Just by participating in this on-site disassembly, you can directly receive 30,000 combat merits as a direct reward from the Mecha Corps, which is an incredibly high income.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After completing the two dismantlings, the two groups quickly separated and proceeded according to their respective plans.

Among them, Liang Zhishen's planned route is to go through the lava channel, then enter the long and dark channel, and directly enter the fourth level.

Li Yi and his team followed the route of the advance team and went directly into the upgrade pool to complete the upgrade of their divine mecha.

After the upgrade is completed and your strength is improved, you can participate in Chen Qiongzhi's hunting of slime creatures.

…

now.

In front of the fourth level upgrade pool.

Li Yi's team just happened to pass by Chen Qiongzhi's team. When they arrived, Chen Qiongzhi's team had just completed the upgrade of some team members.

One after another, huge mechas of about fifty meters in height, carrying an aura as majestic as a mountain, left the upgrade pool one after another.

And in the pool, there are many divine mechas standing in it, receiving the infusion of divine energy.

This divine energy was completely different from the one they normally used, not only was its color more moist, its concentration was also quite high, almost to the point where it could be seen with the naked eye.

The sky is filled with mist, the clouds are rising, and the weather is extraordinary.

These visions are also an aspect that is not reflected in the virtual ruins.

It attracted everyone's admiration.

Cai Xiaodong was paying attention to the divine mechas that were upgraded from 40 meters to around 50 meters, and said enviously: "They have been upgraded to C-class divine mechas? We worked so hard to get the quota."

Tan Haoran smiled and said, "We have put in a lot of effort, but it might be even harder for them. The competition is more intense than ours. After all, we have fewer people, and they have more."

Cai Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, but I heard that the upgrade of the divine mecha depends on the potential of the divine mecha itself and the comprehensive activity time, right? Then those who have the help of the auxiliary module will make a lot of money, right?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I've already asked. Once you enter the upgrade pool, the functions of the auxiliary module will be blocked. How long you can function depends more on yourself."

Pharmacist Wan smiled and said, "The benefits of our frequent extra training are now apparent. In terms of the length of comprehensive activities, our group will probably be the best among all the special classes."

As he spoke, Chen Qiongzhi's Mote Mech also flew up from the upgrade pool.

Cai Xiaodong asked quickly: "Instructor, did the upgrade fail?"

"This is originally a C-level upgrade pool. It has nothing to do with me. Mine is already C-level."

Chen Qiongzhi answered casually, and then said on the public channel:

"This upgrade pool looks like it's been well maintained by the Gourd Man. The divine energy inside is replenished very quickly, which saves us the trouble of moving it back to recharge later."

"Here's a piece of advice for you! That is, no matter what, you must try your best to bear the load! Hold on as long as possible. The longer you hold on, the better the level-up effect will be."

"Did you see those people who left after only reaching 50 meters? That was a bloody lesson."

"They are all mid-level evolvers, but they still couldn't help but get ejected from the upgrade pool. Such a good opportunity was wasted in vain."

"You know, if they hold on for a few more minutes, the divine mecha may be upgraded to 55 meters, or even higher."

After hearing these words, the exploration team members who had come out earlier became blushing and embarrassed.

Li Yi and his companions also became alert because of this.

Yaoshi Wan said in the group's public channel: "It seems that upgrading the divine mecha is not that simple. We still have to work harder and grit our teeth to resist the excessive load brought by the upgrade."

Li Yi also said: "This is the time to test your basic skills and personal will. Don't wait, just go in."

At that moment, the mechas stepped onto the altar of the gourd civilization where the ascension pool was located and entered it one after another.

They had already been here once in virtual reality, so they were naturally familiar with it.

…

Gulp! Gulp! There was the sound of a giant object gently entering the water.

The silver-white liquid rippling everywhere on the upgrading pool was slightly higher by seven or eight meters.

The space inside is quite large. By analogy, it is like a huge bathhouse specifically for serving mechas.

The silvery-white liquid in the bathhouse that is so thick that it is almost insoluble is the product of highly condensed divine energy.

It’s a pity that these highly concentrated liquids can only exist in special environments like the upgrade pool.

Once out of the upgrade pool, these highly concentrated liquids will instantly evaporate and turn into a large amount of free divinity.

There is no way. Humans have not yet figured out the specific principles of the upgrade pool.

Currently, it can only rely on the upgrade pools found in various ruins to maintain, care for and recharge.

The comprehensive cost of starting up once is so high that it cannot be described as sky-high.

If other divine mechas want to upgrade, they can generally only participate in the development of various ruins and look for upgrade pools there.

If your luck has always been bad and you never encounter it during your tenure, then there is nothing you can do but wait.

Alternatively, when there are enough people waiting for the upgrade and who have met the requirements for combat merit, enough to pay for the opening of the upgrade pool, those who have been waiting can use this opportunity to complete the upgrade of the divine mecha.

Of course, if you still can’t wait, there is still a way.

That is to switch to the composite faction, or use military merits to apply for exchange for C-class mechas of other sequences.

However, the exchange requirements for C-class mecha are higher.

Moreover, although all fleets are now in a high state of readiness, there are actually not many combat missions.

Some mecha divisions, if they are unlucky, may not encounter a formal external combat for more than ten years.

At most, we can just fight against alien bandits.

…

Five minutes later, Chen Qiongzhi's team, seven or eight divine mechas of about 55 meters in length, left the upgrade pool one after another.

Then, Chen Qiongzhi scolded her, asking her why she didn't just grit her teeth and persevere.

Several team members who were quite proud of themselves were stunned by what they said.

Another 5 minutes later, three divine mechas reaching about 58 meters in length left.

This time, Chen Qiongzhi just said a few words of encouragement, without much criticism, but with a lot of sighs and regrets.

In the 12th minute, Zuo Ying's Baikui mecha was completely renewed, and its height jumped from about 30 meters, from E-level to 42 meters of D-level, just a little bit away from the threshold of C-level.

In the 14th minute, the color of Cai Xiaodong's Mingfeng mecha became brighter and whiter, emitting a bright glow, and its length jumped from 37 meters to 49 meters, reaching the threshold of a C-class mecha.

At the 15th minute, Tan Haoran also jumped out of the upgrade pool at the same time as Cai Xiaodong. When he saw Cai Xiaodong and Zuo Ying, his face suddenly fell: "I am only faster than you two? What about the others?"

Cai Xiaodong looked at Tan Haoran who had improved from 42 meters to 54 meters, and felt envious. He laughed at him and said, "Tan Haoran, you are so good at this. Zuo Ying and I are weaker, but you are one of the top four experts in the group. How can you only improve to 54 meters?"

Tan Haoran's face turned the color of liver, and he felt extremely humiliated: "There must be something wrong with the upgrade pool. Damn, I'm the third person in the group to be ejected from the upgrade pool?"

On the other side, Chen Qiongzhi criticized in a deep voice:

"Tan Haoran, your will is still a little weak. You can't even beat Zheng Xueyuan. You must train hard and reflect on yourself next time."

"Okay, I'll reflect on it."

Tan Haoran couldn't understand, he felt that he had tried his best.

As we were talking, the time came to the 16th minute.

The person who popped up this time was someone no one expected.

Zuo Ying was surprised and asked, "Sister Wan? How come you came out so quickly?"
