The Empire chose two star beasts that were farther from the finish line, while the Hiratsuin encountered four star beasts that were led away by the Empire team. The time for the two military academies to reach the finish line was postponed.
In this way, if the two military academies were to clash, the time would also be postponed. In addition, with the other military academies that came later, the five military academies gathered together.
The situation was bound to fall into chaos.
This was exactly the result of Yingxing Jueyao. After
the main force of the Empire killed the star beasts, everyone entered the mecha, turned on the flight mode, and flew directly to the finish line.
Due to the special nature of the competition, the flight mode was set to a high-energy consumption mode. The five major military academies can all turn on the flight mode, but it depends on their energy reserves. Generally speaking, they cannot support them from the starting point to the end point. Each military academy can only use it at critical moments, and it is basically not seen in the front field because they do not have enough energy.
Only energy-intensive schools like the Imperial Military Academy dare to use it in the early stage.
The Imperial Military Academy stopped near the finish line and returned to combat mode. All members are still in mechas.
There are high-level star beasts near the finish line. If you want to pull the flag, you must first eliminate the star beasts.
Huo Jian was the first to walk towards the finish line. After walking two hundred meters, the surface of the yellow sand suddenly bulged, and several white spider silks shot towards him.
He paused slightly to avoid the spider silk. The white spider silk that missed the target was sticky and had great impact. It hit the desert and made a very deep hole. The splashed yellow sand even hit Huo Jian's mecha.
The bulges on the surface of the yellow sand became more and more obvious, until a giant earthy yellow spider drilled out of the sand. The end of its chelicerae was a circle of red, and there were venom glands inside.
——3S high-level star beast, red-legged poisonous spider.
Huo Jian drew his weapon. His mecha only had one sword, named Seven Kills.
Seven Kills became a move. When Huo Jian fought, he would never use more than Seven Kills, whether he met a human or a star beast.
The Huo family is a special family in the Federation. They only train mecha soldiers and do not have good relations with any military academy. The Huo family members are selected for military academy on their own initiative, but no one is inferior in strength.
Everyone in the Federation has only one fixed impression of the Huo family: silent and strong.
In the first kill, Huo Jian stepped towards the red-legged spider, as fast as a ghost. At this moment, if you zoom in on the feet of his mecha, you can find that Mieshi's feet are only close to the ground, and have never touched the yellow sand.
Mieshi is a heavy mecha, and it should be slower than light and medium mechas in terms of movement speed, but Huo Jian's speed at this moment is not inferior.
"The World Destroyer is very different from other heavy mechas." As a mecha master, Yu Tianhe has some understanding of the mechas of these participating students. "The World Destroyer has removed the firepower equipment of traditional heavy mechas, reduced the weight of the mecha, increased its speed, and at the same time strengthened the strength of the mecha's arms."
"The Huo family members are all heavy mechas, and their combat power should not be underestimated with their swordsmanship." Xi Haotian added.
Yu Tianhe suddenly laughed: "Not entirely, you forgot that the main force of the Damocles Military Academy also has a member of the Huo family who drives a light mecha and uses a bow and arrow." Xi Haotian
was stunned and changed his words: "Basically, they all drive heavy mechas and use swords."
In this way, there are many outliers in the Damocles Military Academy.
Near the end of the field, Huo Jian controlled the mecha to avoid the spider silk attack of the red-legged spider, and at the same time approached the poisonous spider, bent his knees slightly, and chopped at its chelicerae with one hand.
It hit the red circle below the chelicerae.
"Squeak!"
The red-legged poisonous spider's mouthparts screamed, and several pairs of legs quickly supported the ground, and the other chelicerae stabbed at Huo Jian.
Huo Jian closed his eyes slightly, controlled the mecha to leap up, and the second kill was aimed directly at the chelicerae of the red-legged poisonous spider.
"Tsk."
The chelicerae of the red-legged poisonous spider broke off and fell on the yellow sand with a slight sound.
The high-level star beast was cunning by nature. Even if the chelicerae were broken, they did not attack frantically. Instead, at the same time, they opened their mouthparts and tried to bite off the head of the world-destroying beast.
Huo Jian did not dodge, allowing the red-legged poisonous spider to bite him, with its mouth wide open, emitting the smell of death.
He had already grasped the Seven Killing Swords, and with a slight movement of his wrist, he was about to swing the third killing sword, piercing the mouthparts of the red-legged poisonous spider from bottom to top.
The high-level star beast was sensitive to the danger, gave up the prey it was about to bite, retreated, and quickly fled.
The sudden retreat of the red-legged poisonous spider did not change Huo Jian's moves. He ran towards it quickly, and the white spider silk spun from the poisonous spider's abdomen continuously hit the chasing Huo Jian. Huo Jian
had to slow down in order to avoid it.
[There is quicksand at three o'clock, four hundred meters later.]
Ying Xingjue's voice suddenly appeared in Huo Jian's mind.
The geology of Shadu Star is special. Once the surface of the quicksand in the desert is disturbed, it will become liquid.
Once the mecha is trapped, the dust cover will immediately fail. The covering sand will penetrate into the interior of the mecha like liquid, which can make the mecha lose power and be swallowed by the quicksand.
Huo Jian slowed down and stopped chasing the red-legged poisonous spider.
In the distance, the red-legged poisonous spider saw that its prey was not fooled, so it stopped in front of the quicksand, and a vicious light flashed in its eyes.
The chelicerae can regenerate for it, but it must eat this prey.
The mental attack of the red-legged poisonous spider continued to increase, but it had no effect on Huo Jian.
With Yingxing Jue, even the mental attack of the 3S star beast is useless.
A man and a spider were in a stalemate near the quicksand. The red-legged poisonous spider was not affected by the quicksand, so it kept trying to make Huo Jian fall into the quicksand when attacking. In
the fifth kill, Huo Jian cut off two pairs of legs of the red-legged poisonous spider.
The high-level star beast finally realized that this prey was not something it could control. The red-legged poisonous spider quickly turned around and this time it really escaped, trying to use the quicksand to escape.
However, Huo Jian did not want to let it escape a second time.
In the sixth kill, Huo Jian touched the sand surface, used the force to jump up, and pointed his sword at the red-legged poisonous spider's abdomen. In the seventh kill,
the sword chopped across its abdominal shell, and it was difficult to continue. The red-legged poisonous spider's head was already close to the quicksand, but Huo Jian chopped its abdomen and could not move.
Huo Jian exerted force with both hands, controlling the mecha to slowly descend. The Seven Killing Swords moved downwards again, and this time cracks appeared on the surface of the abdomen.
The red-legged venomous spider struggled wildly with its unbroken legs, and its mouthparts continuously emitted shrill screams.
"Squeak-squeak!"
The screams were accompanied by the red-legged venomous spider's last desperate mental attack. Huo Jian's hands lightened, and the venomous spider thought it had successfully attacked him, and crawled forward excitedly.
The next second, Huo Jian exerted more force, bent his waist and cut off the red-legged poisonous spider's abdomen, splitting it in two.
The red-legged poisonous spider's head struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
Huo Jian took back the Seven Kills, looked at his team members, and then approached the quicksand, trying to lift the red-legged poisonous spider's head.
The more complete the high-level star beast is, the more materials it can be exchanged for. As
soon as Huo Jian approached the red-legged poisonous spider's head, the dead spider suddenly jumped up and opened its mouth to bite him.
The distance was too close, and Huo Jian had no time to draw his sword.
The next second, the red-legged poisonous spider opened its mouth and couldn't close it, and fell to the ground again.
Live broadcast of the scene.
The incident happened suddenly, and some of the spectators were still unable to react.
"It was Ying Xingjue's sensory attack." Xi Haotian motioned everyone to look at Ying Xingjue's slightly raised right hand in the camera, "He was about 800 meters away from Huo Jian and the red-legged poisonous spider."
Yu Tianhe sighed: "At his age, it seems that it is not difficult for him to perform sensory attacks."
The main commanders of other military academies are currently unable to use sensory attacks.
"Except for Situ Jia, the Imperial Military Academy has not been trained in the military area, and everyone else has been in actual combat." Xi Haotian said, "This is also an experience that other military academy members do not have."
The main commentator of the live broadcast was still discussing, and the second military academy team appeared near the end of the field.
——Pingtongyuan.
The two military schools finally met. Pingtongyuan Zong Zhengyue came down from the mecha, holding a short gun in his hand. After he landed, he loosened his hand slightly, and the short gun became a long sling gun.
It is said that Zong Zhengyue usually controls the mecha with only one hand, and the other hand will hold this gun, and the weapon used by his mecha is only a Buddhist gun.
The higher the level, the more cold weapons are used in mecha weapons, because sometimes the speed of hot weapons is not even faster than that of high-level mechas.
"You are late." Ying Xingjue looked at the commander of Pingtongyuan, Lu Shibai.
According to his prediction, Pingtongyuan should arrive here halfway between Huo Jian and the red-legged poisonous spider.
Lu Shibai gently pushed his monocle, and also talked like he was talking to a friend: "Just delay a little while." Ying
Xingjue lowered his eyes slightly. There were no star beasts along the way, and Pingtong Academy would not waste time competing for a place in clearing out the Imperial School Team. The only thing that could be delayed was the redemption of materials.
Since the next stadium needs to be decided by drawing lots after each game, all military academies are not clear about the environment of the next stadium during the game. But the redemption of materials needs to be decided in this stadium, and all of these need to be coordinated by the main commander.
In the Hephaestus Competition, there are restrictions in all aspects in order to simulate various situations on the battlefield. Whether it is a commander, a mecha master or a mecha soldier, they will be subject to certain restrictions in the competition.
"I also want to thank the Imperial Military Academy for helping to clear out the star beasts." Lu Shibai said politely.
As for what he was thinking, no one knew, it was all hidden under his polite smile.
Live broadcast.
"Are they going to fight?" Yu Tianhe was a little excited. It was too early. In the past, it would take at least five games to see the first and second place meet. The first few games were busy accumulating various resources.
"We can't fight for the time being. The other military academies are coming." Ying Yuerong looked at the other live cameras. The other three military academy teams were rushing over very quickly.
Yu Tianhe looked over and saw that the three military academy teams were indeed approaching the finish line.
The first team to appear in front of the two main military academy teams was not the other military academy teams, but the Imperial School Team, but only half of the team was left.
No one expected that the number of eliminated players from the Imperial School Team would be the highest among the five major military academy teams.
Thinking of this, Lu Shibai, the main commander of Pingtongyuan, felt relieved for some reason. Although they were two against one and had lost their respective generals, the Empire school team was rounded up and had no one left.
The second team to appear was the Samuel Military Academy, followed by the Damocles Military Academy, and the two appeared almost at the same time.
Nampaxi also appeared near the finish line two minutes later.
The scene was deadlocked for a while.
The five major military academies stood in different directions, and no one spoke. After a while, the Samuel Military Academy moved first, and their main team led the school team to Pingtongyuan, and finally stood next to Pingtongyuan.
The positions were clear.
In the desert arena, they wanted to help Pingtongyuan.
Nampaxi Military Academy and Damocles Military Academy still did not move.
"In that case, why don't we deal with these two military academies first?" Lu Shibai pointed in the direction of Nampaxi and Damocles Military Academies and said to Xing Jue.
No one on the field spoke.
Only Wei San suddenly raised his hand and pinched his neck, and said to Huo Xuanshan beside him: "I think someone is peeking at me."
