Chapter 63 Elimination

The Changrong mecha immediately opened its upper and lower jaws, and flames condensed into a column and shot out from its dark mouth.

Explosive flame!

Boom!!! The blazing heat instantly melted a hole with a diameter of eight meters, which went through downwards.

At the beginning, the entry speed was quite fast, but after a few seconds, it seemed to be stuck and the advancement was restricted.

It surprised everyone.

The Changrong Mecha sprayed for more than ten seconds before it felt the resistance ease and stopped spraying.

"Hiss, so long."

Cai Xiaodong took a deep breath and grimaced.

The Pluto mecha stretched its head forward, activated its long-range exploration function, and quickly collected information.

Soon, Li Yi said: "The ice surface is nearly 20 meters deep, and the first 10 meters are ordinary frozen soil blocks."

"The next ten meters looks like some special material, with very high hardness, toughness, and melting point."

"Further down, there is a wide space. It seems that we are lucky. We should have found another way to enter the second level."

"Moreover, this method may also allow us to circumvent the alarm system of the second level, creating a time difference and avoiding being found by the guard mechas of the second level."

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, AI Xiaochi's voice rang in everyone's ears at the same time:

"Congratulations on discovering another path to enter the second level. The intelligence value is rated A. Due to the high feasibility of the plan, the estimated value is 2 million star coins."

After hearing these words, everyone looked at Li Yi with even more admiration.

Although being able to fight is important, being able to command and explore ruins is also a very rare ability.

"Great Li Yi, I, Cai Xiaodong, would like to call you the God of Strategy!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It just happened to be an area that I am good at."

"Well, anyway, this path should be safer than the entrance of the ruins that was activated due to overload just now, right?"

"In terms of probability, this is indeed a safer entrance."

Cai Xiaodong said happily:

"Are we going down now?"

"No rush. Only forty minutes have passed. Let's go outside and search for more guard mechas. According to Tian Qizhen, everyone should have been found by the guard mechas at the same time."

"Wait, what does this mean?"

Tan Haoran was confused again: "What does the same time mean?"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"In other words, at this moment, the ice is full of traces of the guard mechas' activities. They are highly unified and can be easily distinguished from other mechas."

"If everything goes well, we can record most of the underground passages where the guard mechas appear. With this, we may be able to calculate the entire scope of the second level."

"??? Is this even possible?"

Cai Xiaodong said in shock.

"If I were just a human, it would definitely not work, but with the divine mecha's superb information collection ability, it is really easy to do this."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I just need to be your most obedient soldier."

"Stop farting and go."

The five people recorded their positions and moved forward again.

This time, Li Yi was tracking the traces of another guard mecha of the Tian Qizhen group that was besieging Zhao Xun.

…

An hour later.

In the virtual reality seats, many people have died in battle and been ejected from their helmets.

They each sat in one place and observed the people who were still alive.

"Hiss, Zheng Xuefei, who ranked sixth in our class, was eliminated so quickly."

"Dude, you and Zheng Xuefei are in the same group, right? Your group includes Zheng Xueyi who is ranked 6th, Zheng Xueyi who is ranked 12th, and Zheng Xueyuan who is ranked 17th. With three masters leading the team, it's impossible for you to be eliminated so quickly, right?"

"Don't mention it. The first level was fine. With the three sisters leading the attack, we easily defeated the guard mechas and found the entrance to the next level. But in the second level, we were besieged by four guard mechas that were faster and stronger. We didn't hold out for long and were quickly wiped out."

"Not bad, you have at least made it to the second level."

"However, with your strength configuration, you were still wiped out. This shows that the ancient ruins are far more troublesome than I thought."

"Who says it's not?"

In other places, people also popped out their helmets one after another to discuss various level issues.

Basically, only a handful of people can enter the second level.

Those who were able to enter failed quickly, and almost no one could stay for the full 20 minutes.

"It's over. At a glance, the top ten players are basically dead."

"No, there are also Fang Tao, Sun Duxiu, and Yao Shiwan."

"Tan Haoran is the only one left among the top 20."

"Li Yi is the only one left among the thirty."

"Li Yi's group is really amazing. They actually stayed here."

"Damn, it's only been two hours and there are only 12 people left?"

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

As more and more experts popped out, the team was wiped out.

At this moment, there is only one group left on the field.

Even the squad leader Fang Tao jumped out, looking helpless.

"Lao Fang, at which level did you lose?"

"Second level."

Fang Tao has a strong figure, a handsome face, and a resolute look in his eyes. At this moment, he pondered and said:

"In the second level, I experienced two waves of attacks from guard mechas. The first wave was attacked by four guard mechas at the same time, and the second wave was attacked by six guard mechas at the same time."

"Our group survived one wave of siege, but was defeated in the second wave."

"It seems that it will be quite difficult for us to win the Class 3 competition."

"Even you can't do it. It seems that this Tianshu Ruins is really perverted."

The person who spoke was named Zhou Qisheng, and he was ranked 4th in the class.

"Are there any other groups still alive?" Fang Tao asked.

"Yes, the group of Yaoshi Wan, Tan Haoran, and Li Yi has five members still intact. They probably dealt with the guards at the first level and didn't find the entrance, so they are still wandering outside. That's why they were not quickly killed by the second level."

Zhou Qisheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Looking back, it would have been better for them to continue searching for clues at the first stage. This way they could have earned more clue fees."

"Oh?" Fang Tao was surprised.

"I just heard from the class next door that Yao Shiwan's group has probably earned tens of millions in clue fees. They are so happy."

"How did they know?"

"Who else could it be? That loudmouthed instructor Ma Ruhu from Class 1 said that."

…

In virtual reality.

Last half hour left.

"The location of the underground passage guarding the mecha is estimated to be about 20% short of being determined, but this little difference does not matter. We already have enough information."

"Now, I will circle out an area that is relatively less densely populated based on the distribution points of these guard mechas."

"Let's move on to the second level from here."

Following Li Yi's explanation, the five mechas quickly arrived at the target location and allowed Tan Haoran to use the explosive flame to pierce the entrance of the underground passage.

Boom!!! As the flames faded, a dark vertical pit appeared.

In order to facilitate the entry of the five mechas, Tan Haoran exploded twice more, expanding the opening to 20 meters.

"Then, Yaoshi Wan and I will go down first. The others, wait for the signal and then go down quickly. Cai Xiaodong will lead the way, Zuo Ying will be in the middle, and Tan Haoran will be the last."

Li Yi said, motioning for Pharmacist Wan to go down first:

"I'll be right behind you, so be careful and be gentle."
