Chapter 99 Exploration

Everyone has different thoughts.

Two months ago, they still had to think hard about strategies and tactics.

And now, Li Yi only needs one sword, a simple sword, to cut the giant egg into two halves and prevent it from hatching.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the strategy information they sold is useless.

After all, no one has such superb skills and amazing timing.

Just follow the guide and play honestly, at least you won't lose.

After a while, Cai Xiaodong uttered a word: "Awesome!"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"The sufficient intelligence accumulated in the early stage allowed me to be sure to kill the giant creature with one sword before it successfully hatched. Moreover, without the incubator, this creature is only 40 to 50 meters tall. If I can't kill it with one sword, then these two months of training will be in vain."

Tan Haoran said: "That's true, but your performance really makes us who are in the back row feel ashamed."

"That's not necessary. I just want to save time. There will be other opportunities for everyone to make efforts later."

As he spoke, Tan Haoran had already automatically and consciously controlled the Changrong mecha to move forward, spraying out a burst of molten flames. In just three or four blinks of an eye, the underground passage that would have taken more than ten seconds to melt through was quickly opened.

Obviously, Tan Haoran has made great progress during this period.

Then, the mechas slid down the passage in order.

Going down here is an area that no one has ever set foot on.

According to the information everyone had known before, four guard mechas surrounded them first, followed by six.

This level once blocked most of the top players in the special class.

It was not until recent times that the weaker groups were able to break through.

Groups like Zhou Huize, Fang Tao, Yang Hao, etc., which were previously behind Li Yi in progress, naturally broke through the encirclement of the six mechas earlier after continuous attempts.

Among them, Zhou Huize's team is second only to Li Yi's team in progress. It has now entered the third level and is stuck at the Divine Light Bomb.

Fang Tao's team also entered the third level and got stuck with a giant dog-like creature in the densely populated area of ​​the third level.

Because Zhou Huize's team did not kill the giant dog-like creature, but fought and retreated, and passed the level blocked by the giant dog-like creature.

After all, it is a huge creature that is more than 120 meters tall, and its mecha transformation has been mostly completed. It is very powerful, and is not inferior even to the slime creature that is more than 140 meters tall.

Therefore, it is also a strong bottleneck.

Yang Hao's team, due to insufficient internal strength, is also exploring various detours. They have now arrived at the densely populated area of ​​the third level and are stuck at another exit.

The other weaker groups gradually cleared the densely populated area of ​​the second level and got stuck at the incubator.

However, none of the teams have Li Yi's level of trace recognition ability. Every time they refresh, they can only wait for the guard mecha to appear before they can find a new path.

Therefore, when Li Yi's team quickly entered the third level, they did not encounter any other teams along the way.

Even if they have to walk other unfamiliar paths again, they are still the fastest.

…

A siege of four or six mechas would not cause much trouble to the other mechas.

Firstly, everyone’s strength has improved greatly, and secondly, they are well-equipped.

Sun Duxiu used the Liqiong mecha to control the Zhanlou Sword, and he could fight two people at the same time and defeat them quickly within minutes.

Tan Haoran stabbed randomly with the armor-piercing gun and quickly killed his opponent within ten shots.

Zhang Xuqiang used the divine energy cannon to directly bombard his opponent from a distance, and in just seven or eight hits he blew his opponent to the point where he had no power to fight back.

Li Yi tried to control the wind and fire thrusters, moving left and right, and up and down, and quickly killed several guard mechas.

Overall, no one else put in much effort, and most of the group was blocked by the six mechas that surrounded them in the second level, and they were easily defeated.

The main reason is the benefits of equipment.

After killing the six mechas, Cai Xiaodong asked, "Are we going to kill the giant dog-like creatures in the next level? Will that create opportunities for those teams that are stuck at the level?"

Tan Haoran smiled and said, "Cai Xiaodong, even if they make it to the fourth level, they can't beat us, so we don't need to worry about it."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Although what Tan Haoran said is correct, we are going to take a different path this time."

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Since we have almost enough strength to push through the first few levels, we naturally need to explore in more densely populated areas. Moreover, judging from the above and below directions, the missing piece of the map in the fifth level is indeed heading deeper into the densely populated area."

Yaoshi Wan also laughed and said, "Then let's do as Li Yi said. Since everyone has received new equipment, we should work hard and make the most of it, right?"

Everyone suddenly came to their senses. Yes, they now had powerful enough equipment and their strength had improved a lot. They shouldn't look at the previous levels with the same perspective as before.

Although there will still be giant creatures here, as long as they don't appear in groups, they can push forward all the way! Li Yi said:

"Of course, we can't let our guard down. Remember what I said before? There should be a giant creature awakening hidden in the third level. It's probably about 120 to 130 meters tall. It might be stronger than the dog-like creature. If it turns over halfway, it won't be a good thing."

Everyone responded with a smile and set off immediately.

…

The further they went into the densely populated area, the more eager the crowd became.

There is no other reason, it's the invisible sense of oppression and repression emanating from the densely populated area that constantly disturbs everyone's spirit.

The reason why this place is called a densely populated area is because the towering vines here are very dense.

In non-dense areas, the span between giant vines is several kilometers.

As for the densely populated area, where everyone is currently sliding down, the density is one tree within three to four hundred meters.

The further you go in, the denser the towering vines become. Now, there is one vine within a range of thirty-four meters.

The dense vines and the huge green screen formed by these super-giant vines constantly suppress everyone's minds with various visual and air information.

It is clearly a vibrant green nature, but it gives people a subtle feeling of danger and murderous intent.

It was as if some terrifying giant beast was quietly observing the mechas.

at the same time.

They also need to face other problems.

That is, as the densely populated area gets deeper, given the huge size of the mechas, if they go further in, they will soon have to make a decision.

Or, you can keep breaking the towering vines along the way and make your way through.

Or, you can return the same way and not move forward.

At this moment, Sun Duxiu couldn't help but ask: "Li Yi, are you sure you're going to go all the way along this road? There doesn't seem to be any trace of the advance team here."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's definitely here. If you go to the front, you should be able to find other giant vines that were destroyed by the advance team first."

According to Li Yi's judgment, if it is just a small trace left by the advance team, then the virtual ruins will not be displayed.

However, if the traces left by the advance team are destructive enough, such as the entrance opened by the advance team before, they will be synchronized.

He had previously used a long-range detection system, combined with the previously inferred direction, to focus on searching for these traces, and sure enough, he had discovered some in the deepest part of the densely populated area.

After a while.

Li Yi suddenly said:

"That giant creature should be targeting us. Before it enters a more crowded place, let's start a team fight and kill that guy first. Of course, we must be careful, this thing is quite powerful, don't be careless and get killed."

"Now, Yaoshi Wan, you and I will take off at the same time and occupy a high position. Zhang Xuqiang should be ready for long-range support, and everyone else, prepare for close combat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind and fire thrusters on the shoulder armor slots of the Pluto mecha were stimulated by Li Yi's divinity and suddenly sprayed out high-speed propulsion heat flow.

If we do not rely on this kind of thruster, but use the form of divine energy conversion for propulsion, the energy loss rate is generally around 80%.

With the help of the conversion and amplification of the wind and fire thrusters, he can basically directly exert 80% of the divine energy propulsion power, and the effect is even more superior.

Therefore, even if everyone can use divine energy to propel their bodies into the sky, since their own total divinity is insufficient, they should try to walk on land as much as possible in the early stages.

Once your strength improves, you will be able to fly by directly stimulating divine energy on your own.

However, if there is a choice, it is natural to use the corresponding divine thrusters to reduce losses.

At the same time, the thrusters of the Fire Luan mecha were equipped on the spine grooves. As the high-temperature flames were ejected, the armored wings on the shoulders and back vibrated synchronously, and even resonated with the thrusters, burning directly on the armored wings and turning them into two giant wings of flaming light.

His posture was so cool that everyone was amazed when they saw it.

Zheng Xueyuan couldn't help but have a twinkle in her eyes: "So the armored wings of the divine mecha can actually have this use. By coordinating and resonating with the thrusters, they can actually stimulate such cool wings?"

Among the crowd's mechas, only Yao Shiwan, Zheng Xueyuan, and Cai Xiaodong had armored wings.

Cai Xiaodong also said: "Damn! So the armor wings have this function? Pharmacist Wan, why didn't you use it during your actual combat training before?"

The pharmacist smiled and said, "This is an operation that I have only recently mastered after becoming familiar with the thrusters. This requires a certain level of understanding and manipulation of the characteristics of divinity. It is not something that can be done just by having thrusters."

Cai Xiaodong: "Then what is the purpose of this flame armor wing that is so coquettish?"

Yaoshi Wan smiled gently: "Don't worry, you will know in a moment."

Li Yi had absorbed the memory of using the wind and fire thrusters, and he operated them even more skillfully and fluently, as if he had practiced for several months.

Therefore, when he controlled the Pluto Mecha to float steadily in the air, although it was not as cool as the Fire Luan Mecha, it was obviously more at ease.

However, Li Yi had no intention of showing off, and said: "Put aside your exclamation for now, and get ready. Stand in the positions I just told you to stand. When Yaoshi Wan and I lure the monsters over, you can move."

Sun Duxiu said: "I understand! Just leave it to us!"

At that moment, the two mechas took off into the air, their speed getting faster and faster, and soon they passed through layers of vine forests and flew to a relatively less crowded place in the sky.

It is about three hundred meters away from the ground.

There are only twenty or thirty meters between it and the dome.

"Our total amount of divinity is still relatively insufficient, and we can't hold out for long. Yaoshi Wan, you listen to my orders and follow the points I send you. Use all your strength to unleash the Sky-piercing Firebird. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The two mechas were suspended among thousands of vines, looking down.

Along with the red Fire Luan Mecha's vibrating flame armor wings.

In an instant, two hundred-meter-high firebirds suddenly appeared in the flashing of flame armor wings, each shaking its head and tail, and then swooping down with the sky-high firepower! Seeing this, Li Yi thought to himself: "It turns out that these armor wings can actually transfer the propulsion force of the flame thrusters and increase the original power of the divine skills. This is very interesting."

"It seems that my wind and fire thrusters should also be able to be used in a similar way."

"It's just that the Pluto mecha doesn't have similar body modules, and its characteristics don't match that well."

As Li Yi's thoughts flashed quickly.

The flames hit the two points he mentioned earlier one after another.

Boom!!! Boom!!! The flames shot up into the sky instantly, following the surrounding vines and quickly burning upwards.

In the blink of an eye, the flames followed the towering vines and burned towards the dome, and under the huge heat, they continued to spread.

Soon, the entire dome became a sea of ​​fire and it was raining charcoal.

However, the expansion of flames also has a range. When the orange-yellow flames expanded to a range of two hundred meters above the dome, they seemed to have encountered some obstacle and could no longer advance.

Although Li Yi didn't have time to pay attention to the situation on the dome, he knew that the large amount of divinity contained in the flames was almost offset by the divinity of the Sky-supporting Vine, and it could no longer advance an inch.

Moreover, although the flames were spreading, the divine energy that spread out was only a small part after all.

More importantly, it lies in the point below.

However, apart from the huge flames burning into the sky, there was no other movement.

Li Yi, who continued to observe this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Interesting. He sensed the danger in an instant and fled to another place to hide? Obviously, with his strength, he can withstand this attack."

Li Yi didn't expect that the personality of this huge creature was both bold and cautious.

He is keeping an eye on everyone in the group and may show his claws at any time.

But he did not start the movement for a long time, and waited patiently for everyone to go deeper into the crowded area.

And this type of person also proves his intelligence, and is likely to be quite good.

If the giant creatures were not very intelligent, then the difficulty would be relatively easy.

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

If you are both strong and smart, it will be difficult to deal with, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty by 1.5 times out of thin air.

While thinking, Li Yi said:

"Pharmacist Wan, use the divine skill like you just did, two more shots, and hit another point."

Pharmacist Wan nodded. Even though she was consuming a lot of energy from flying in the air and firing continuously, she still launched the attack without hesitation.

The flaming wings flapped and the huge firebird swooped down again.

Boom!!! Boom!!! The entire patch of densely covered ground with vines connected with the previous fire point in the blink of an eye, becoming a sea of ​​fire.

The enormous heat seemed to distort even the air high above, refracting the light.

Suddenly, Li Yi's eyes moved, and he controlled the Pluto mecha upside down, and with the help of the wind and fire thrusters, he rushed down quickly.

"Pharmacist Wan, you stay here and wait for the signal to attack!"

As soon as the words fell, the pure black slender body of the Pluto mecha plunged into the sea of ​​fire like a fish into water.

I saw a black shadow quickly sweeping across the sea of ​​fire, and then it passed through the sea of ​​fire. When it was about to catch up with a gray shadow that seemed to be there and not there in front of it, it suddenly accelerated and collided with the gray shadow in an instant.

Boom!!! The air wave, the incomparable surging air wave, was like countless invisible giant hands, pushing the burning flames down at high speed, blowing them to the edge hundreds of meters away.

During the rapid propulsion process, the flame continued to shrink until it was extinguished at the periphery.

In the blink of an eye, the dense vine forest under the ground turned into a huge black circle of charcoal, and all the light and flames disappeared.

Yao Shiwan, who was watching this scene from afar in the sky, was shocked. "Even though the divinity has been almost consumed, the firepower is still very strong. What kind of giant creature can generate such a strong wind in a fight with the Pluto mecha?"

…

Below, the team members who received Li Yi’s signal have rushed to the battle site.

As soon as they entered the battle group within two hundred meters, everyone was shocked.

It was a giant snake-like creature with bone-gray scales, vertical eyes, a forked tongue, an oval head, and a long and thick body! From what I could see, its total length was more than 130 meters! The part that was coiled on the ground alone was at least 20 to 30 meters long.

Standing upright, it is more than 120 meters high.

The total length must be more than 140 meters! Although, the tonnage and height of a huge creature mean nothing.

But under these relics, the bigger the body size, the more divinity it possesses!

Coupled with the way it and the Pluto Mecha pounced and leaped, their ferocity was even greater than that of the 143-meter-tall slime creature!

Cai Xiaodong was dumbfounded: "How can there be such a huge creature in the third level? According to the general specifications here, 120 meters is the top, right?"

Li Yi, while controlling the Pluto mecha to resist the giant snake's attack, actually had enough time to say on the public channel: "This thing should be the big guy that escaped from the fifth level laboratory. I used to think that the huge snake-headed mecha we found before was the one that escaped from the ruins. But now it seems..."

Cai Xiaodong suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "That 120-meter-long snake-headed mecha is the strongest boss hidden in the densely populated area of ​​the third level? But it was eaten by the giant snake transformed by the gourd man, and it survived until now?"

Li Yi laughed, and his voice was filled with joy:

"Yes, this is a pleasant surprise. With this thing, we can catch the giant snake as soon as we get to the ruins. By doing so, we can understand what kind of things the gourd man left in its body."

Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, apart from anything else, this discovery was indeed of great value.

In terms of value, among the various living giant creatures discovered before, this thing can definitely rank among the top three among the giant creatures they have ever seen.

As for why the slime creatures are not considered captured?

That is too difficult and naturally not within the scope of everyone's consideration.

On the contrary, this thing, although ferocious enough, is still within the range that everyone can deal with.

Moreover, as long as the giant creature has not completed its divine mecha transformation, its total divinity will continue to be consumed.

Last time, Li Yi and Pharmacist Wan worked together and were able to quickly kill the slime creature that was over 130 meters long.

Now that everyone is fully equipped and the giant snake has no teammates, there is naturally no suspense in taking down this thing.

"However, don't let your guard down. The intelligence of this giant snake is far beyond what we have encountered before."

"Moreover, his divine characteristics are also very strange. He is in the Wind God sequence, but he also possesses the characteristics of dust, storm, cold current, air pressure, etc. He is very strong!"

"Come up quickly and give me a breath."

Although Li Yi seemed to be at ease, he had almost reached his limit.

Without the help of others, he is not able to fight such a giant beast for a long time.

What's more, this thing is much more powerful than the slime creature. Li Yineng explained it to everyone at the same time, but he just didn't want his teammates to rush up and be instantly wiped out by the giant snake.

Li Yi could naturally see that the guy in front of him was always staring at the outer circle, waiting for any mecha to take a step forward and ready to take action at any time.

…

As the three main warriors, Li Qiong, Chang Rong and Bing Lun, wielded their divine weapons and the others maneuvered, Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, retreated a hundred meters and temporarily left the battle group.

One reason is to rest and dissipate the exhaustion of the soul after the high-intensity stimulation of divinity.

Secondly, it was also to launch a fatal blow.

In the cockpit, Li Yi closed his eyes slightly, keeping the divine mecha activated, and quickly entered the dream plain, absorbing memory fragments and replenishing consumption.

As long as you don't rush to digest the memory, those memory fragments will be integrated into the body and have the effect of replenishing the mental loss.

Afterwards, find some time to digest the memory and let it settle thoroughly.

About three minutes later, Li Yi quickly opened his eyes! Although he had not fully recovered, it was enough to finish this tough battle.

At that moment, he began to frantically stimulate his divinity and channel it into his Zanpakuken.

Accompanied by slight crackling sounds, the magnetic divinity continued to pour into the Zanpakuken.

A sharp purple-green sword light continued to extend from the tip of the sword until it was nearly sixty meters long before it finally stopped.

Then, he paid attention to the movements on the field and waited for his opportunity.

Suddenly, he sent a signal to Yao Shiwan: "Yao Shiwan, attack with all your strength in 2 seconds!"

At the same time, he reported a slightly off-center point, and then began to charge! Four consecutive leaps! Bang! Bang! Bang! Three consecutive leaps, and the wind and fire thrusters behind him suddenly erupted the moment the third step landed!

An orange-red high-temperature heat stream roared out instantly!

The speed of the Pluto mecha suddenly increased to the limit, and beyond the reaction range of the giant snake, it extended the sixty-meter-long sword again and suddenly pierced the giant snake's seven inches!

Then, with a burst of tremendous force, he activated the spin technique on the spot, dragging the giant snake's huge body and throwing it into the air.

Immediately afterwards, a flaming bird dropped from the sky simultaneously and happened to hit the huge snake.

Boom!!! The flames shot up into the sky, and burned along the body of the giant snake.

The giant snake roared towards the sky, its body violently flying around, bouncing repeatedly on the ground like a jumping spring.

The Pluto mecha reduced the sword's edge to a length of forty-five meters, and then chopped at high frequency in mid-air.

Swish, swish, swish! The sword flashed continuously.

In an instant, the giant snake had a lot of divinity offset by the flames, and had been stabbed in the vitals by Hades before, so it couldn't resist the sword light. In just a blink of an eye, it was cut into more than a dozen pieces of meat and fell to the ground.

…

After the war, when he touched the corpse, he found a piece of divine core that was cut in half from the snake's seven-inch position.

Li Yi calls AI Xiaochi:

"Xiao Chi, why is there no intelligence reward this time?"

aixiaochi said:

"Because the last bounty reserved by the advance team did not involve this giant creature, nor did it involve the areas that needed to be developed, so no direct valuation was given."

Li Yi asked: "Is there no reward reserved because the giant snake had not yet awakened when the advance team entered here?"

aixiaochi said:

"Originally, due to the confidentiality rules of the three-class competition, I couldn't explain it, but now it's okay since you killed the giant snake. Yes, the answer is that when the advance team entered here, the giant snake had not yet awakened."

Li Yi's mind moved, and he asked: "Also, you said there is no reward for the information, does that mean that our information this time will not be announced to other fleets?"

"That's right. Only information about bounties will be announced to the top of the three fleets. Information without bounties will only be known by the captain of this ship and the three special class instructors."

Li Yi asked: "Then the captain of our ship doesn't know either?"

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you then."

Above the dome, a flash of flame suddenly flashed, and the next moment, the Fire Luan mecha vibrated its flaming wings and suddenly landed above everyone.

Accompanied by huge wind pressure, the Fire Luan Mecha withdrew its flame jet power and fell to the ground calmly.

"This is such a cool move, Sister Wan."

Zheng Xueyuan enviously said: "If I had known that earlier, I would have found a thruster even if the characteristics were not very compatible."

The pharmacist smiled and said, "Don't waste your resources. Your shield is quite good. At critical moments, it can save your life even more effectively."

On this side, Cai Xiaodong asked Li Yi:

"AI Xiaochi said that the intelligence will not be reported. Doesn't that mean that when we explore the field, this giant snake will be ours alone?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "That's right. We have intelligence records for other things, and I'm afraid they will be taken by the main team first. But as for this giant snake, if there are no accidents, we will basically have it in our hands."

"6, I didn't expect that exploring deep into this densely populated area would actually have such benefits. If we can really capture a living body, wouldn't we be able to gain a lot of military merit?"

Cai Xiaodong's words awakened everyone in the group, and they suddenly realized.

Yes, such an important and valuable ancient creature that has been transformed by the gourd man and has survived for such a long time, it is really possible for them to use it to gain some military merits.

Everyone's morale was immediately boosted.

Li Yi smiled and said:

"It seems like everyone is very motivated, so let's enter the new path as soon as possible and try to enter the sixth level as soon as possible to see if we can get more good stuff."
