The defense system was severely damaged, forcing Gu Xi to rush into the power compartment.
She flung the door open abruptly. "Octopus, how's the situation?"
The octopus's tentacles moved rapidly across the control panel. Upon hearing Gu Xi's voice, one of the tentacles pointed towards the defense system.
"Chirp chirp!"
Gu Xi stared at the defensive sphere and noticed that it was already flashing.
The defenses are now under double the pressure, not only from the destructive power of the lightning swarms, but also from the pressure of high-speed ships.
But she can't stop under any pressure.
Gu Xi was extremely anxious, staring intently at the defensive ball.
The defensive materials must be replaced! Gu Xi made a decisive decision.
She quickly opened her storage space and took out the spare defensive materials she had prepared beforehand.
She had initially planned to make do with scrap materials, but now, given the situation, she had to choose the right ones.
Several high-grade materials were laid out on the table. Without hesitation, Gu Xi immediately began to replace them.
The octopus worked with Gu Xi to collect the damaged defensive materials.
New materials were being installed onto the protective shield.
Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Xi's forehead. She not only had to concentrate her mental energy, but also had to resist the rocking of the ship, which was extremely difficult.
Finally, the last piece of high-grade material was installed.
[Shield Damage Level: 0%]
[Defense shield has been updated]
Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The new defensive shield was much stronger than the previous one and should be able to withstand the lightning attack.
However, the defense is only temporary. If we don't leave this lightning zone soon, the shield will eventually be breached.
Gu Xi walked out of the engine room and onto the deck.
The gale, accompanied by torrential rain, relentlessly lashed her cheeks.
The waves on the sea became even more turbulent, as if they were about to swallow everything.
Crimson lightning streaked through the dark clouds like giant, wildly dancing pythons, poised to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
As she watched the lightning dance in the sky, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind. She closed her eyes and rapidly expanded her mental energy.
Metal spikes flew out of her storage space and hovered in mid-air. These spikes gleamed coldly in the lightning.
Gu Xi didn't dare to delay and immediately sent them away from the Future and into the sky.
The spikes collided with the lightning, producing a piercing sound.
Some of the lightning bolts were attracted by the spikes, changed direction, and struck the sea.
But more lightning continued to strike the Future.
Gu Xi gritted her teeth and continued to manipulate the spikes, trying to divert more lightning.
Just then, a vast network of mental energy unfolded, directly enveloping the area around the Future.
Ais stood on the deck, her arms outstretched forward.
"Plop plop—"
He let out a low shout, his icy blue hair held horizontally in the air, and an extremely cold aura burst forth from it.
A sudden chill filled the sky, and the incoming lightning bolts were frozen in mid-air upon contact with this chill.
Crimson lightning flashed within the ice, like a trapped beast letting out an unwilling roar.
Well done! Gu Xi was delighted. Ai Si's abilities were indeed powerful; she could even freeze lightning.
Immediately afterwards, clusters of blue-purple flames shot out from the deck.
It's Flame Scale! Gu Xi's eyes lit up.
Flame Scale opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of blazing flame.
Flames transformed into sharp arrows in the air, shooting towards the frozen lightning.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The flaming arrow struck the ice, creating an explosion. The ice shattered, and the frozen lightning dissipated, making room for Ais's next attack.
