Chapter 163 Seized
When everyone looked, they saw that he just glared for a moment and didn't move again.
Liang Zhishen said thoughtfully:
"I understand. Just as Li Yi said, someone did climb into the insertion cabin and tried to activate the divine mecha. But we have seen a large number of divine mechas being activated and stimulated before, but we forgot the most important thing!"
"That is, even if Zheng's clan has enough wild evolvers, they may not be able to fully match these divine mechas!"
“In other words, even if they can be matched, since these disposable pilots are all at the beginner level, it will take a long time to complete enough activation operations and have the corresponding amount of divinity to completely transform them into disposable pilots!”
"And it turns out that they got into the insertion chamber, but they didn't activate it."
"Plus, we attacked suddenly and caught Mysterious Thought off guard."
"So, the simultaneous glares just now should have been a last-ditch attempt to activate the operation! It just failed."
After thinking for a moment, everyone felt that what Liang Zhishen said made sense.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being a veteran who survived the Tianheng Star War and his judgment is indeed excellent.
Li Yi said:
"I just observed carefully. Those crawling traces were all produced within one day. Moreover, many of them...how should I put it? They all give me the feeling of being from the same individual. I have a bad feeling."
He didn't explicitly say what the bad premonition was, but he controlled the Pluto mecha to move forward, opened his upper and lower jaws, and directly sprayed out a divine energy cannon.
Boom!!! The dark blue beam of light directly hit the S-class mecha in the blind spot. After a while, except for the head, the rest of it was completely frozen and turned into a hard lump.
At one side, there was also an Ice Soul Mecha of the Ice God sequence of 105 meters in the group of six. It also came out and swept hundreds of divine mechas with a freezing wave.
Seeing this, Li Yi sent a message to remind:
"Leave your head unfrozen for a moment. It will be useful later."
"good."
A clear and bright voice responded.
The driver of this Ice God sequence is named Zhou Bingying, Zhou Fuli's cousin. They are both from the Tianweiquan clan, and are also powerful people who have reached the end of their ascendancy and have begun to try to condense their divine nuclei.
Of course, although she is her cousin and looks very young, based on the brief communication among everyone on the ship before, Li Yi knows that this Zhou Bingying is at least 40 years old.
However, to be able to reach the peak of the upper level at this age and attempt to break through the heavenly level is already a remarkable talent, so his overall appearance looks to be around 25.
He was tall and well built, his face looked mature yet a little childish, his eyes were calm, his manners were elegant, and quite deceptive.
Everyone present could only watch the two mechas take action.
Because there are more than a dozen divine mechas present, only these two have the freezing property, so they can only wait for the two to take action and freeze these divine mechas first to prevent them from starting up suddenly and giving them a severe blow.
In this way, it took five or six minutes for hundreds of divine mechas to be completely frozen, leaving only their heads.
After completing the operation, the Pluto mecha walked forward, without any sign of accumulating strength, and raised its hand to use a shock skill to hit the head of a B-class divine mecha in front of it.
Boom!!! After the vibration, the Pluto mecha stretched out its arms, grabbed the head of the divine mecha, and used its thumb to pry out the insertion cabin.
With a click.
After all, it was not started, and the insertion cabin was directly ejected, revealing an unconscious driver.
I saw the driver's face, with his slender eyes, bulging cheeks and round face, which seemed familiar!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene! Jiang Chaoqun was even more shocked and exclaimed: "What the hell! What the hell!"
Liang Zhishen calmed down and said jokingly, "Jiang Chaoqun, it seems that your guess is correct. Your one billion elite soldiers were indeed cloned."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Fuli looked strange and asked, "Could it be related to the essence that Jiang Chaoqun left under the breeding spire?"
Although the six-member group also listened to everyone's reports, they were not there in person and did not have a clear memory of the incident.
It was only after everyone talked about it that I suddenly realized the reason.
Jiang Chaoqun looked unhappy and said, "Captain Li, the bad premonition you just mentioned, isn't that what you mean?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "That's it, but there's more."
"More than that?"
As everyone was suspicious, they saw the Pluto mecha move forward again, using the shock skill to stun the people in the cockpit from a distance, and then pry open the insertion cabin.
Jiang Chaoqun's slender eyes widened: "Fuck, fuck, fuck, how come there's more?"
Li Yi said: "Everyone, act quickly and take out these insertion pods, otherwise if one or two divine mechas are successfully activated later, we will be in trouble."
"Captain Lin, I'll trouble you to take care of those A-class and S-class machines."
Lin Wendong smiled lightly: "You kid, you actually tell me what to do."
Li Yi said: "Haha, of course not, I just want to remind Captain Lin that it's time to hurry up."
Naturally, Lin Wendong did not think much about it. He immediately controlled the Jupiter mecha, found the S-class mecha, leaped up, and used the shock skill.
The others also took action.
After a while, when everyone attacked in sync, the sound of the "Zhen" skill cutting through the air was heard frequently. The efficiency was extremely high, and soon the entire cockpit was pried out.
As a result, something happened that surprised everyone.
The pilots of each divine mecha were actually clones of Jiang Chaoqun! They all looked more than 80% similar to Jiang Chaoqun.
The remaining one or two percent are different, mainly because of the slight differences in their degrees of fatness or thinness.
Liang Zhishen said: "...This is really like looking at a lantern in a toilet, it's like seeing a ghost."
Lin Wendong said solemnly: "To be able to create so many clones in just one day, the power of this mysterious thought should not be underestimated."
When everyone heard Lin Wendong's rare solemn voice, they were also slightly nervous.
Yes, behind this seemingly absurd scene, there is either extremely powerful technological means or extremely powerful divine power.
No matter which one it is, it is not good news for those who are enemies at the moment.
Jiang Chaoqun smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this heritage relic is deeply controlled by that mysterious thought. Otherwise, it would be impossible for anyone to spit out some essence and use it immediately."
Li Yi pondered:
"I think it's because the genes of the upper evolutionists are superior enough, and that mysterious mind is excited by the sight of prey."
"After all, if Mystic Thought really had soldiers at his disposal, he wouldn't have bothered to use this batch of immature clone pilots."
"If we hadn't reached the southern ruins so quickly, these divine mechas would have been activated successfully a little later, posing a major threat to us."
When everyone thought about it, they all felt that it made sense and felt fortunate.
…
Next, Li Yi and Zhou Bingying froze the heads of all the divine mechas together.
As for Jiang Chaoqun's clones, except for two or three kept for interrogation, the others were also frozen.
As for how to deal with it, that is also a problem.
There are not so many hibernation chambers in the starship, but if these clones are frozen for a long time like this, their bodies will definitely become necrotic and die completely.
Although the freezing process is quick, it does not actually harm the cell essence.
But if there is no hibernation chamber to maintain the freezing, the freezing effect will wear off and the flesh will naturally necrotize during the slow thawing process.
In response, Zhou Fuli said, "Why not just send it to the food freezer and freeze it? Although some of the medicines are not suitable for the symptoms, it should be okay to solve the urgent problem, right?"
"Anyway, the quick freezing process has been completed. As long as the freezing effect is maintained, there shouldn't be any thawing or necrosis."
"After that, we can hand these people over to the research institute to study how they were cloned, right?"
Lin Wendong thought for a moment and said, "That's it."
Fortunately, Jiang Chaoqun had no feelings for these clones, only fear. After all, seeing a hundred bodies exactly like his own appear in front of him in one day would make a normal person collapse.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for everyone to deal with it this way.
…
Next, the troops split into two groups, one group was responsible for transporting the spoils to the starship, and the other group continued to track in the direction where Mu Tianlei had gone deeper.
Although the outer dome of the ruins was overturned, the ruins were obviously still very large. Walking inward past the position where the divine mecha stood, there was a bottomless walkway.
This corridor is quite spacious, with the entrance only three hundred meters wide, just level with the four S-class mechas.
But when I looked inside, I found that the aisle was getting wider and wider, and its length could not be confirmed due to information blocking.
Among them, the team responsible for the pursuit is naturally Lin Wendong and the six-member B-level group, as well as masters such as Li Yi and Jiang Chaoqun.
Although the remaining people are quite capable and can play a significant role, there may be even greater dangers ahead.
In addition, everyone is worried about the size limitations of the ruins themselves.
Therefore, the limit was set for these nine divine mechas first, plus Mu Tianlei who had already gone deep into it, there were exactly ten mechas, which was just right within the ten-mecha limit of ordinary ruins.
The other eight people also have things to do if they stay in the outer area.
After transporting the loot and cloned captives back, you will need to free up a few people to explore the challenges these spires contain.
Of course, this is a very risky business.
Therefore, only Tan Haode and Liang Zhishen, who are stronger among the crowd, can do it to prevent them from being transformed by the ideological stamp.
At the beginning, only one of them will be allowed to try first, while the other mechas will be on standby, guarding against it strictly to prevent them from being transformed if something goes wrong.
In this way, the divine mecha can be used to directly suppress the person, and then use the quick-freezing tools taken in advance to freeze the person.
It can also ensure that the last line of safety remains unchanged.
In addition, when exploring, we will try our best to control the difficulty within a controllable range, and we will not rush to pass the level even if we can.
In this way, you can also explore clearly what the challenges at the bottom of the spire are and what knowledge and skill insights you will gain.
Of course, the last point that needs to be worried about is another relic located in the north. Will this heavily guarded relic send a divine mecha to make a comeback and attack again?
After all, the group of cloned drivers controlled by the mysterious thoughts should have been able to receive external information normally before being frozen.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liang Zhishen expressed his concerns about this and said:
"Captain Lin, I have no objection to this arrangement, but the problem is that if Mysterious Thought sends another batch of divine mechas back to fight, won't the few of us who stay behind become targets?"
Lin Wendong thought for a moment and felt that this problem did exist, so he said:
"Li Yi, can you tell from this mecha hangar how many divine mechas have gone to the northern ruins within one day? What levels are they?"
Li Yi said:
"According to the traces I observed here, excluding the ones that intercepted us in outer space and headed for the northern ruins, there are a total of 4 A-class and 12 B-class."
"A-level is about 180 meters. I guess this is the limit of the mysterious thought, or the limit of the resources he has."
"If Lin Huiyi is corrupted and controlled, he might use her as a one-time pilot for an S-class mecha."
Liang Zhishen felt a little dignified in his heart and said:
"If that's the case, if they come back, they don't need more than two A-class machines, and the team left here will be wiped out, right?"
Lin Wendong said:
"The eyes and ears of the mysterious thoughts can only be placed on intelligent creatures. Now that the pilots have been sealed, he can't figure out whether we have divided our forces, so he probably won't come to kill us immediately."
"The only thing to worry about is that there are other spies in the passage ahead."
"How about this, we limit ourselves to 20 minutes to complete a round trip. If we don't gain anything, we have to return within 20 minutes."
"Taking into account the time it takes them to fly here, even if he sends a team over immediately, the time difference will be about the same."
Having said that, Liang Zhishen could only obey orders. After all, he really couldn't leave Mu Tianlei fighting alone in the depths.
However, Liang Zhishen still chatted with Li Yi privately and said:
"Li Yi, although Captain Lin is strong, his fighting style on the borderline may have influenced him. He has both a cautious and adventurous mentality, and both are extreme. Moreover, he often thinks too much and hesitates at critical moments... This is not the good commander I know."
"You have excellent judgment. At the critical moment, you should give Captain Lin as much support as possible in his decision-making, so that he won't waste time in his dilemma."
"Also, when the time is almost up, we must urge Captain Lin to return as soon as possible, so as to avoid being divided and defeated, and the good situation being ruined."
"Also, if a powerful enemy gets in our way, there will be enough time to deal with it."
After hearing what Liang Zhishen said, Li Yi began to look at Liang Zhishen with a new respect.
Although he respected Liang Zhishen before, he respected him mainly because of his status as a senior and instructor, and because of his relative recognition of his abilities.
In my opinion, this is a trustworthy but relatively mediocre captain on the same ship.
Although his judgment is slightly better than others, it is not that outstanding after all.
But now, Li Yi no longer thinks that Liang Zhishen is just a mediocre person.
Being able to point out the commander's shortcomings in a sharp manner under such circumstances is indeed something that not everyone can or dares to do.
Thinking of this, he replied: "Don't worry, instructor, I will definitely do it."
…
The passage was incredibly long, and the nine divine mechas were still flying at low altitude and high speed.
Although the Pluto mecha was the smallest among them, its speed ranked second, which really amazed Zhou Fuli. He said:
"As expected, it is a gravity thruster that is second only to the space-time thruster. The efficiency of this divine transformation is much stronger than my general thruster."
Lin Wendong said:
"Xiao Zhou, the strength of the gravity thruster is only secondary. The strength of the controller is the most important. Although Li Yi is only a mid-level evolver, his fighting skills are perfect, his tactics are top-notch, and his control level is extremely high. These are the basis of his speed."
Li Yi said: "Commander Lin, you are too kind. It's mainly because Captain Zhou is being lenient towards a young man like me."
At this moment, Li Yi was just using the micro-electric characteristics to maintain high speed in a normal way, which was naturally not a real high-speed flying state.
Not to mention the burst skills in version 3.0, even the other features are not used.
Therefore, he also knew that at his current speed, it was impossible for him to be higher than Zhou Fuli.
This guy Zhou Fuli just wanted to support him.
Li Yi guessed that most of the time, they saw that he had great potential and wanted to make friends with him.
Just as he was thinking, Li Yi's eyes suddenly focused and he shouted, "Everyone stop, we found traces of Commander Mu's battle, and the direction seems to have changed."
Immediately, nine divine mechas stopped at the same time, and the flames pushed down to keep them suspended in the air.
Li Yi didn't say anything, and controlled the Pluto mecha to land directly.
Click.
The huge paw touched the smooth gray ground, making an extremely sticky and hoarse sound.
Li Yi said: "This ground should be made of some special material that will hinder the efficiency of ground activities. I just observed along the way and found that the Speed Thunder Mechas are standing on this kind of ground, fighting with a species with a strange body shape."
"About three to five minutes ago, fighting was still going on here."
"Most likely, the huge vibration we heard earlier originated from here."
"Basically, the fight lasted no less than 15 minutes."
Lin Wendong frowned slightly: "He was able to fight with Old Mu for 15 minutes? His strength is indeed not to be underestimated. What happened next? Where are both parties now?"
"here."
The Pluto mecha turned to the left passage and pushed the high wall with its palm.
Then, a magical scene appeared.
The palm of the Pluto mecha penetrated through it as if it were a phantom.
Lin Wendong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is this a relic illusion? I didn't expect to see such a rare thing here."
Everyone present understood what Lin Wendong meant.
Ancient divine civilizations have all kinds of characteristics, but divine characteristics such as illusions, phantoms, and virtual images, as well as corresponding technologies, are relatively rare and scarce.
This is one of the reasons why humans focus on developing virtual reality technology.
Therefore, being able to see such an illusion in these ruins is something that is very worthy of study.
Everyone thought about it and slowly followed the Pluto mecha into the illusion.
Li Yi also had a strange feeling. According to the sensory information transmitted by the Pluto Mecha, the Pluto Mecha seemed to be passing through a shaking horizontal plane. The amount of information received by both sides instantly changed from thin to thick.
Immediately afterwards, when the whole body was completely immersed in it, the violent flashing of light and the sound of mechas fighting were heard.
Looking up, I saw a huge space covered by thick black fog. Lightning flashed outside the body of the Speed Thunder Mecha. It leaped quickly, dodged the attack, then leaped forward and directly hit the opponent with both fists.
The opponent was a huge black shadow, spherical and very elastic. It was not very high, only about a hundred meters, but it kept bouncing on the surrounding walls and the ground. Its movement speed was actually three points faster than that of the Speed Thunder Mecha.
And every time it was about to touch the Speed Thunder Mecha, the Speed Thunder Mecha would quickly retreat, as if it was very afraid of being touched directly by the black ball.
At this moment, Mu Tianlei also noticed the people coming in, and he used the Speed Thunder Mech to make a sound, saying, "You came at the right time. This thing is probably another clone controlled by the mysterious thought. It is very tricky. It can transmit a huge load when touched. Even I was dizzy for a moment. It is very fierce."
"Help me suppress its range of activity with the divine energy cannon, and watch me kill him!"
As they were talking, the black ball seemed to have noticed the incoming mechas, and it bounced off its body and shot towards everyone at a high speed.
The target was unexpectedly the smallest mecha among all the mechas, the Pluto mecha!
Seeing this, Mu Tianlei shouted: "Don't touch him with any divine weapons, it will still transmit a huge load. You can only use knife light, sword light, or divine energy cannon!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately unleashed a 3.0 burst skill!
