Chapter 79: Team Annihilation

The divine special effects of the Pluto mecha are amazing.

Even the giant manta ray, which was 145 meters long, had most of its body frozen, and the surrounding turbulence had frozen into a large number of ice crystals.

The people at the back seized the opportunity and launched various shock and penetration techniques.

Zheng Xueyuan activated the Winged Divine Power and said:

“I will let the Falling Flame Fire Luan of the Fire Luan Mecha hit the head of the giant creature in front!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!! The dark red firebird shot out from the water, its entire body emitting a light red glow, isolating the water vapor.

Then it landed accurately on the head of the giant manta ray, attached itself to it, and continued to burn.

The characteristics of erosion are constantly being stimulated.

The manta ray's head, which looked so hard that it could even drill through the ground, was actually melting away.

"Good opportunity! It looks like this manta ray isn't very good at using its divine power to defend against attacks from divine skills!"

"When you activate your mecha skills, be sure to attach your divine skills to them as well. It would be best if you can activate the divine attack effects!"

Li Yi saw this and started shouting.

The giant manta ray roared in pain and struggled continuously.

It opened its mouth and a high-frequency and fierce shock wave was instantly emitted, spreading throughout the entire river bottom.

Buzz!!! On the periphery, the weakest Zuo Ying immediately fell into a controlled stiffness.

In addition, Cai Xiaodong also suffered from tinnitus and dizziness, and in a trance, he even lost his way.

The entire Ming Feng mecha did not make any movement.

This move was similar to the roar of the lion-headed creature that everyone had just encountered.

However, the lion-headed creature was already quite skilled in mobilizing its divinity, and that roar was largely accomplished by relying on the characteristics of its divinity.

However, this giant manta ray actually forced its body to emit this horrifying sound wave without mobilizing its divinity.

Although the power is slightly weaker, in terms of the degree of terror, the two are obviously incomparable.

At the same time, the divinity outside the giant manta ray began to surge, and the freezing effect that Li Yi initially used was immediately cracked.

Li Yi's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Stay alert, and be ready to use the spinning skill at any time!"

With a clacking sound, the giant manta ray seemed to have instinctively learned a trace of divinity and opened its mouth again.

Buzz!!! The terrifying sound waves spread throughout the entire riverbed again.

At this time, Zuo Ying had just recovered and barely launched the spinning skill.

But the power of this sound wave was extraordinary, and this time, she fell into controlled rigidity again.

Fortunately, thanks to preparation, I wasn't immediately put into an overloaded state, which was not bad.

The other few people also managed to escape this disaster with the help of Li Yi's warning.

At this moment, the Liqiong Mecha, which had been beaten out of the periphery and stuck in the mud, started fighting again, stimulating divine energy to propel its body and kill the giant manta ray.

…

The battle situation did not appear one-sided.

With Li Yi predicting, warning and taking action at any time, the crowd and the giant manta ray were able to maintain a temporary balance.

Of course, the main reason was that the manta ray was not skilled in using its divinity, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath.

Otherwise, if this giant manta ray could skillfully use its divinity, everyone wouldn't even have a chance to break through its defense.

In this way, under the command of Li Yi, everyone took steady steps to deal with the enemy.

Time passed in a flash, two hours passed.

"retreat!"

"Sun Duxiu and I will be the last ones to leave. The others, those in the innermost circle, will leave in an orderly manner, followed by those in the outermost circle."

As Li Yi issued the retreat order, everyone left one after another according to the instructions.

At this moment, both sides were extremely tired.

No longer had the thought of continuing to kill.

Therefore, even the manta ray seemed to understand Li Yi's intention and did not pursue him further.

After a while, all the mechas left the battle circle and were three or four kilometers away from the giant manta ray.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the giant manta ray flipped over, rolling up huge waves, and sped away in the opposite direction of the crowd.

…

On the ice, huge mechas, driven by divine energy, rushed out of the ice like a fish leaping, continued to soar into the sky for a few seconds, then found a solid frozen ground and landed.

Cai Xiaodong grinned and said:

"Is this what it feels like to fly a divine mecha? It's quite novel."

Tan Haoran laughed and said, "This is not flying at all. It's just using the huge thrust to accelerate to a certain degree in the water and then leap out. In fact, it can't even stay in the air stably for 3 seconds."

"I heard that you have to be at least a mid-level mecha master to be able to float stably on a planet with high gravity, right?"

Zheng Xueyuan asked curiously.

"No, even a mid-level mecha master can't do it. I estimate that the total time for a single activation of divinity must reach 6-7 minutes to do it."

Pharmacist Wan pondered and said:

"If you can reach 8-9 minutes, you should be able to fly under normal gravity. If you want to escape the normal gravity circle and not be attracted by a massive planet, that's something only a high-level mecha master can do."

"In conclusion, only when you reach the upper level of mecha masters can you be considered a strong person who can stand alone in the interstellar battlefield and lead an army alone."

Zheng Xueyuan was surprised:

"Only a high-level mecha master can fly out of the planet at will. So when we encounter an interstellar war, what should we do if only one or two divine mechas can fly into space?"

"You didn't know?"

Pharmacist Wan was surprised:

"This is very simple. In ordinary wars, artificial interstellar fighters are enough to solve the problem. The role of the divine mecha is to break through alone, force through the enemy's firepower bombing area, advance into the enemy's encirclement, and directly decapitate."

"If you really want to fly, you can also mount artificial thrusters."

"Of course, when it comes to a complex battlefield, it is safest to use divine energy to propel the mecha to move."

"Because artificial thrusters can be easily destroyed."

"In an actual battlefield, if one side has a divine mecha and the other side doesn't, the side without one will basically lose. Even if they have various interstellar fighters, the difference in lethality is too great compared to the divine mecha."

"Just think about it. All the man-made equipment hitting the divine mecha is like tickling. It can't even make a crack. What else can the result be?"

"You know, at present, the mainstream weapons and equipment of mankind are basically unable to break the defense of the divine mecha, even the aliens are almost the same."

"Don't think that the divine mechas were able to break through the defenses frequently before. That's because only the divine mechas can break through the defenses of the divine mechas."

"The reason why those giant creatures are so difficult to break through is because they have undergone some divine mecha transformation, and their defense is very high."

"And divine skills are also an important means for us to bombard our opponents from a distance in the future. It's just that we are still weak now and cannot expand the scale of the attack."

"Once you sweep with a divine skill, the range will be hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Doesn't that make you the absolute king on the battlefield?"

Zheng Xueyuan blinked and said:

"I see, so the divine mecha is so powerful. But I don't really know about these details. So why does Sister Wan think I know?"

Pharmacist Wan was tired, it turned out that Zheng Xueyuan was so simple.

"I thought you, the Zheng family, would teach this common sense to some extent."

Zheng Xueyuan nodded and said, "I should have been taught, but I was taught earlier. At that time, I was more interested in playing and didn't know much about the subject of space warfare."

After this conversation, Pharmacist Wan's vigilance towards Zheng Xueyuan was reduced a lot.

After thinking about it, Yaoshi Wan couldn't help but ask:

"Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

Zheng Xueyuan said: "15."

Everyone: “???”

Li Yi was also shocked. With this appearance and height, he is only 15?

Among the three sisters, the tallest one is obviously Zheng Xueyuan, right?

Yao Shiwan was also surprised and asked, "You are so young and you can be selected into the special class? And you can even be ranked 19th?"

Zheng Xueyuan said with a smile: "Yes, my family members say that I am a genius, but I don't have any special feelings. I just learned a lot of things vaguely."

Cai Xiaodong couldn't help but envy: "I'm so jealous. I barely made it into the special class at the age of 22. I'm considered young in the class. I never thought there would be someone even stronger than the strongest."

Tan Haoran asked:

"Li Yi, what about you? How old are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the cockpit couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Li Yi said: "I am 18, which is indeed a bit older than Zheng Xueyuan."

Of course he was telling the truth.

Although he has absorbed countless memory fragments, his mental age is very high.

But his physical age is indeed only in his early 18s.

Everyone: “???”

Cai Xiaodong was shocked again:

"Damn it, Zheng Xueyuan is from a high-ranking family, has good genetics, and has the conditions to use various nutritional supplements. I can barely accept that she can reach this ranking."

"But Li Yi, your fighting skills, mecha skills, insight, analytical ability, judgment, command level, and combat experience are all first-class. With so many excellent skills and knowledge, you are only 18?"

Sun Duxiu was also extremely envious and jealous: "Oh my God! How can life be so different! I'm 21, and I'm actually convinced by Li Yi."

Cai Xiaodong quickly looked towards Pharmacist Wan and asked:

"Pharmacist Wan, how old are you? How much older are you than Li Yi?"

Yao Shiwan couldn't help but glance at Li Yi from a panoramic perspective, and responded:

"Bah, a girl's age is a secret, don't you understand? Cai Xiaodong, stop making trouble for me."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

…

The chatting time ended as everyone gathered one after another.

Li Yi began to summarize this operation.

"Two hours of high-intensity maneuvers, tightrope-walking, how is it? What did you gain from these two hours?"

Tan Haoran said:

"I have gained a lot. Although I know this is a virtual reality, once the intensity is high, I forget everything and only focus on myself, the enemy, and my teammates."

Pharmacist Wan also said: "After this time, I have a feeling that my eighth divine gene will be condensed."

Zuo Ying said ashamedly: "I was beaten the whole time. I can only say that I have become more able to withstand pressure. I need to continue to work hard to improve myself next time."

Sun Duxiu said calmly:

"I feel like I'm almost there. If I can do this kind of high-intensity battle four or five more times, I will be able to condense the ninth divine gene."

Several people spoke one after another and each made progress.

Finally, Li Yi concluded: "I was lucky today. I just happened to maintain a clever balance."

"That is, the manta ray is not proficient in controlling its divinity, and its use of its physical body is too unfamiliar, so it cannot exert its full strength."

"We were lucky that none of our players were overloaded by the Manta's counterattack."

“However, such cases cannot continue.”

"Maybe next time, when the manta rays become stronger and more skilled in control, we will be in big trouble."

"We still have two hours left. Let's make good use of the remaining time and try to dismantle the divine light bomb."

"As for the fourth level, I have a feeling it will be quite difficult. We can try it once we are stronger. What do you think?"

Naturally, everyone had no objection and set off immediately.

…

With the experience of clearing levels many times, everyone was familiar with the route. Even the elephant guarding mecha at the second level did not stop them for long, and they quickly entered the third level.

It is worth mentioning that when they slid into the non-dense area passage of the second level, they happened to meet a group from Class 2 consisting of Yang Hao, Zhao Xun, Tian Qizhen and others.

Because Li Yi discovered them in advance and hid himself, he was not discovered by them.

It would be troublesome if we were tracked and intelligence was leaked.

Cai Xiaodong was surprised:

"I didn't expect that Yang Hao would finally pick Zhao Xun and Tian Qizhen to join their own group."

Tan Haoran said: "Class 2 suffered because the experts were too scattered. In Yang Hao's original group, except for him, the others were all middle-to-lower level players, which seriously hindered their progress. Now that a few powerful players have been added, the progress can be caught up."

"But now it seems that it took two hours to get out of the dense area. The third level will probably be very dangerous. We will most likely be stopped by a giant dog-like creature."

Yao Shiwan said, "That may not be the case. Maybe Zhou Huize's eight experts will have managed to defeat the giant dog-like creatures by then? Then Yang Hao and his team can take advantage of their momentum and directly enter the non-dense area of ​​the third level to explore."

Tan Haoran said: "Don't be afraid, they still have the Divine Light Bomb area to crack."

Cai Xiaodong said worriedly:

"What if they arrive just after we have cracked the divine light bomb? Wouldn't they take advantage of us?"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"What are you afraid of? Even if they take advantage of us, we will be the first to enter the fourth level. The first group will not be able to escape, unless they can surpass our progress in the next four explorations and enter the fifth level."

"Besides, with their current strength configuration, whether they can quickly pass the second level of the batch of mechas to be hatched and find the path to the third level is also a question."

"Right now, the only group that poses a threat to us is Zhou Huize's group."

Cai Xiaodong immediately laughed and said, "That's not a big problem. Even if Zhou Huize and his men defeat the giant canine creature, they will suffer heavy losses. They also have to guard against other giant creatures that may appear on the road."

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right. The giant creatures basically gather in densely populated areas. We will have a greater advantage if we go to non-dense areas."

…

Because they already knew the location of the divine light bullet detection system in advance, everyone started digging holes quickly after entering the hidden map of the third level.

This time it only took half an hour and it was done quickly.

Li Yi combined with Zheng Xueyuan's destined power and once again shattered the detection system from a distance.

Skilled and ruthless throughout.

At this moment, all the mechas arrived at the edge of the launching system of the divine light bomb.

Li Yi said:

"Zuo Ying, this time you have to rely on your life divine nature."

Zuo Ying asked in confusion: "Brother Yi, what can I do with my meager strength?"

Li Yi asked:

"Your divine characteristic, as I recall, is growth, right?"

"Yes."

Li Yi said:

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

"Wait a minute, I need a few people in our group who can activate the divine mecha quickly. Try to eject the divine mecha, go down to the ground in the flesh, and collect seeds from flowers and plants nearby."

"Pharmacist Wan, Sun Duxiu, Zheng Xueyuan, let's just go with the three of you. I remember that the activation time for the three of you was all within 2 minutes, am I right?"

Although the three were puzzled by Li Yi's order, they still ejected the insertion cabin as instructed and stepped into the ruins in the flesh.

Although it is virtual, the touch is indeed very real.

Sun Duxiu shouted, "Damn, the air here is extremely suitable for the human body. I feel like my body is about to break through after staying here for a while."

The pharmacist smiled and said, "It is indeed an illusion. This is just a virtual reality after all."

Li Yi pondered and said, "It seems that when we enter the real world, it is necessary for us to absorb the air here with our physical bodies. Perhaps it will be of great benefit to the condensation of the divine genes. Just a moment ago, your virtual physical body, Sun Duxiu, has become much stronger."

Sun Duxiu was surprised and said, "Damn it, it seems that after I exit the virtual reality, I have to see if my physical body will be strengthened as well."

Yao Shiwan was a little surprised when she felt the changes in her body, but she was relieved after a while and said, "Yes, this place breeds countless huge creatures that can control divinity, so they must be extraordinary."

As they were talking, they began to collect seeds from the surrounding flowers and plants according to Li Yi's instructions.

The others were on guard in the surroundings to prevent any giant creatures from coming over and directly killing the three team members in human form.

Li Yi asked Tan Haoran and Zhang Xuqiang to dig a large enough hole nearby.

The purpose of the big hole is naturally to prevent the Shenguan bomb from exploding on the spot after the disassembly fails.

Hidden deep inside, where the divine light bullets cannot reach, it is naturally safe.

As for those who are responsible for the dismantling, they will have to die first.

…

After 20 minutes, the flower and grass seeds were collected safely.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's activate the divine mecha first, just in case."

"Cai Xiaodong, you take over these seeds."

Cai Xiaodong agreed, controlled the Mingfeng mecha, spread out his big hand, and collected the seeds that were so tiny that they were almost invisible in his palm.

Fortunately, the information collection system of the divine mecha is strong enough, and the picture can be zoomed in and out freely in panoramic mode.

As long as the driver's soul strength is high enough, he can process multiple information at the same time.

After the three of them successfully started, Li Yi asked the rest of the people to enter the cave dug by Tan Haoran and Zhang Xuqiang.

At this moment, Cai Xiaodong was the only one left on the field.

Next to the cave entrance stood Zuo Ying's Baikui Mecha and Li Yi's Pluto Mecha.

Li Yi said:

"What we have to do next is very simple. Cai Xiaodong, you need to evenly sprinkle all the seeds into the gaps of the divine light bullet launcher."

"Then Zuo Ying, you will be responsible for stimulating the divinity and radiating it into the divine light bullet launcher to catalyze as many seeds as possible."

"As long as the divine light bomb has no reaction, continue to catalyze!"

"Cai Xiaodong, feel free to start dismantling it. Don't worry about being shot to death by the divine light bullet. I have already prepared for the whole team to be wiped out during this dismantling."

"But we can't wipe out the whole group instantly. The cost is too high."

"We have to die one by one, as long as we can record the internal structure of the divine light bomb as much as possible in virtual reality, and record the disassembly process as much as possible. Do you understand?"

Cai Xiaodong understood it immediately and exclaimed: "Great! If one doesn't work, we can try another one. With your amazing memory, Li Yi, we can remember it and try it again many times. We will definitely be able to master the specific disassembly techniques."

Li Yi nodded slightly:

"That's right. Everyone can use the information about the divine light bullets that they found on the intranet as they wish!"

"If you don't know how to do it, you can follow my instructions."

"The goal of this attempt is to record!"

"Even if our whole team is wiped out this time and we can't enter the fourth level to continue exploring, it doesn't matter, because our current goal is to get the most out of the virtual reality. As for the C-level upgrade pool, we'll look for it after we get the divine light bullet. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone responded in unison.

…

The Mingfeng mecha sprinkled the flower and grass seeds into the gaps of the launch device and began to wait.

The Baikui Mecha began to radiate divinity remotely.

After 10 minutes, small buds stubbornly grew out of the gap.

"It's time to start, Cai Xiaodong."

"Okay."

The Mingfeng mecha began to attack, and directly used a super shock wave to cut off the top layer of the launch device's shell.

Waited for a while, safe.

Li Yi ordered: "Cai Xiaodong, sprinkle some more seeds."

Next, every time Cai Xiaodong opened a latch, a shell, or a small device, he would sprinkle some small seeds into it, trying to make the internal structure malfunction as much as possible.

Although it is still unknown whether this measure is effective, it can ultimately improve the safety rate.

Just when Cai Xiaodong was using the super shock wave to cut open the next hole.

Boom!!! The divine light bomb exploded, and the Pluto mecha and Baikui mecha immediately released their fingers that were holding onto the hole, and their bodies suddenly fell down.

After a while, the Pluto mecha poked its head out.

On the field, the Mingfeng mecha had fallen to the ground.

Obviously, Cai Xiaodong was the first to get the lunch box.

"Next, Zhang Xuqiang, it's your turn."

"yes!"

…

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The Shenguan bomb launcher was also in tatters and in pieces.

What’s amazing is that even though the divine light bomb has been damaged to such an extent, it can still explode again.

With one flash, the divine mecha will be instantly overloaded, and the divine activation ability will disappear in a short period of time.

Other normal substances are not affected at all, which is also magical.

At this moment, only the Pluto mecha was left on the field.

Even Zuo Ying, who was piloting the Baikui mecha, was just killed in the battle.

"It's finally my turn. I hope I can fully understand the internal structure this time."

"At the very least, we must clearly record the locations that can trigger the explosion of the divine light bomb."

"Then, find a way to gain control."

The Pluto mecha began to operate cautiously.

Unlike others, he had already crammed all the information he could find and captured a lot of relevant memories in his dreams.

Unfortunately, these materials are not extraordinary items, and the related memory fragments they can produce for him are very limited.

But even so, his craftsmanship is much better than others.

If the virtual reality wouldn't refresh and other people didn't have his memory, he would have wanted to be the first one to go up.

…

After opening the last cover, seven or eight magazine-like structures appeared in front of us.

Li Yi's eyes lit up: "This is the structure, so that's why there are so many detonation points, it turns out that there are multiple magazines and dispersed layouts."

"Is this also a structure designed to prevent forced dismantling?"

"Unfortunately, I still don't understand the internal structure of the Shenguang bullet and the principle of such a high firing rate. Even after disassembling it to this extent, it still feels like a black box."

Li Yi shook his head slightly.

There is clearly a strong divine aura here, but I just can't understand the specific design principles.

Sudden.

Click.

Boom!!! Amid the fierce flashing of divine light, Li Yi’s last thought was:

"Remember not to touch the spot you just touched next time!"

…

Swish! The helmet popped open, and everyone in the group looked over with anticipation.

“Not done.”

Li Yi shook his head.

Everyone sighed.

Tan Haoran said regretfully: "After dismantling so many things, it still exploded. This is outrageous."

Cai Xiaodong smiled and said, "Looking at Li Yi's appearance, although he failed, he should be able to succeed soon next time, right?"

Li Yi nodded slightly and said, "It's pretty close. I've recorded all the suspicious trigger points in the early stage. I already have a related concept in my mind. I should be able to try it next time and it shouldn't be much different."

"But I can't say for sure. This kind of thing is hard to say. Ancient technology is too profound and I don't know much about it."

As he spoke, Li Yi pondered:

"In the best case scenario, I think I should look for relevant knowledge. I have fewer channels than you do. If you can find information that cannot be found on the intranet or in major libraries or knowledge bases, please share it."

"This way, we won't think we have solved the problem next time, but end up getting wiped out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded.

Yes, who knows what aspects of ancient technology are beyond ordinary people’s cognition.

Yao Shiwan took the opportunity to say, "Let's create a group. I saw some information before, which may be helpful for our disassembly this time."

Zheng Xueyuan also said: "Then I will try my best and go back to the family's inner storehouse to check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."

At that moment, several people discussed it and decided on this matter.

Since Li Yi didn’t mention creating a group before, no one else mentioned it either.

But today was a rare opportunity, so Pharmacist Wan just went with it.

…

This time, no one gained anything, so Chen Qiongzhi did not praise it in public at the summary meeting.

However, their group is already the strongest group in the class by default and has already explored to the fourth level.

After such an in-depth exploration, it was considered reasonable that there was no gain this time.

On the contrary, some people breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Fang Tao also thought to himself:

"Fortunately, Li Yi is not such a freak. If he continues to act so arrogantly, I really don't know how I, as the squad leader, will face him."

After the summary, Chen Qiongzhi kept Li Yi again, which attracted a lot of attention.

Entering the office, Chen Qiongzhi got straight to the point and said:

"I watched you dismantle the divine light bomb. It's pretty good and thoughtful, but the results may not be as expected. I would like to introduce you to an expert who specializes in divine light bombs and divine weapons. How about you learn the dismantling techniques and specific principles from him?"

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Is the instructor going to give me some special treatment?"

Chen Qiongzhi laughed and said:

"Why? Does it mean that my sparring with you normally doesn't count as special treatment? Are you still making a fuss about it?"

Li Yi quickly shook his head: "I'm just curious. This is the first time the instructor has interfered with the specific direction of our exploration."

Chen Qiongzhi said: "The strategic value of the divine light bomb is much greater than you think, so if we can get it first, it is best to spare no effort."

Li Yi nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your strong support, instructor."

"Then let's not waste any more time. You don't need to practice extra tonight. Just come with me to visit this senior."

"That won't do. My extra training is all planned and targeted. If I disrupt it once, the impact will be significant. How about you take some time to practice with me after you finish your work tonight, Instructor?"

"Good job, kid. You can climb up the pole."

Chen Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows.

"There's nothing I can do, instructor. I'm too weak. Please have pity on a poor kid like me who needs to supplement basic nutrition every day, woo woo."

Li Yi seized the opportunity and started crying poor.

Chen Qiongzhi shook her head, feeling both angry and amused, and said:

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I agree. Alright? You're really blackmailing me."

"Okay! Thank you instructor for your strong support!"

"Stop being poor and follow me."
