Chapter 52: Fight Date
*
The vast wasteland of the "circle of life". The damp smell after the rain still lingers in the air.
However, the shallow sandy soil cannot retain water at all. Only a few plants store this hard-earned rainwater and use their developed root systems to lock it deep beneath the dry surface.
On the vast and desolate plain, a bicycle sped past, leaving behind a long trail of white.
However, just as they were about to reach the deep pit, Su Xi's heartbeat inexplicably quickened!
After her mental power was upgraded, she vaguely gained the ability to predict what would happen in the next second. Especially in major life-threatening events, this intuitive warning was even more powerful!
Now, about 100 yards from the edge of the pit, this intuitive alarm sounded an extremely sharp and noisy howl in her mind!
"Xiguang," Su Xi shouted, "Stop now!"
Almost at the same time as the order was issued, Xiguang immediately executed the command, and the suspended motorboat braked suddenly!
Due to the inertia of the sudden brake, the pink suspended motorboat did a beautiful tailspin drift in mid-air.
The air was filled with smoke and there was silence all around.
Only the engine of the floating boat made a "thump thump" sound, and it stopped just 50 yards away from the edge of the deep pit.
"I feel something is wrong." Su Xi said very cautiously.
Her temples were throbbing, that indescribable sharp alarm! It was still screaming in her mind!
Although she was not in a state of human-machine synchronization at the moment, AI Xiguang, who was paying close attention to her physiological and emotional changes, analyzed the emotional changes in her voice and found that she was in a state of "urgent crisis". While braking suddenly and stopping, Xiguang once again activated the monitoring drone to conduct a deep scan of the surrounding environment.
'Beep - Deep scan started -'
'Crisis Identification Analysis——'
Xi Guanglian connected to the crystal earrings' channel and entered the human-machine sharing mode with Su Xi.
Su Xi closed her eyes slightly, and began to explore with her mental power in a human-machine sharing state. A pale pink light diffused from her body, and the mental power fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye quickly covered the three-dimensional space within ten miles around her, with her position as the center.
In the sky mixed with dust and smoke, there were occasional flying insects, and above that was the chaotic evaporation of air after the rain. There was nothing unusual.
Further down, among the well-developed root systems of the plants, tiny beetles and soil decomposers are busy gnawing at the soil.
In such a desolate and busy scene of the "Circle of Life", she did not detect any situation that could constitute a "threat".
It's just... I subtly felt like I was being spied on.
At the same time, Xiguang's scan results came out.
"Crisis determination result - environmental threat (level 3) -"
"Biological Threat (Level 2)——"
"Direct threat to life - none -"
Su Xi closed her eyes in confusion and looked up at the dark and chaotic sky. Whether it was the perspective of the drone that was in the same frequency as Xiguang or the result of the mental detection.
There is nothing unusual.
The surroundings were quiet and silent. The southward air current caused by the fine-tuning of the magnetic poles passed weakly near the deep pit, completely taking away the moisture of this wilderness after the rain.
Then, the feeling of being spied on also disappeared.
Only under the drone's monitoring could one hear those faint groans of pain and the increasingly weak vital signs in the cocoon-shaped life capsule.
Su Xi was inexplicably touched by those painful moans and felt a little bit of pity.
The moans are getting louder and louder, and more and more painful!
She jumped off the suspended airship, a trace of confusion flashed across her amber eyes, and she walked involuntarily towards the deep pit, step by step.
Because Su Xi's idea did not generate any resistance, Xi Guang naturally did not notice anything wrong and just followed his "sister" step by step. After the self-examination upgrade, Xi Guang unknowingly went to the other extreme.
40 yards
30 yards
15 yards

Getting closer -

The southerly wind blew past, and ants and flies in the sky swarmed in groups, circling in the air as the air currents changed due to the fine-tuning of the magnetic poles, competing for the last remaining microorganisms before the humid air dissipated.
However, among this group of flying ants, flies and mosquitoes, there is one that is extremely special.
A slightly larger ant was aggressively competing with its companions for the last bit of food, but this time it, a general who always wins, seemed to be unable to do so.
Because its right compound eye has been replaced by an aerial camera made of nanomaterials.
Through the special ant's 'compound eyes', the precise electronic image shows a vast view of the sky.
The smoke and dust that filled the deep pit had long since stopped, and the words "SOS" and "sorry for help" projected from the bottom of the pit were clearly projected in the air.
Blood red and eye-catching.
At this moment, it was flickering faintly, showing that its energy was about to be exhausted.
A tiny figure slowly approached the edge of the deep pit, and the suspended motorboat next to it immediately transformed into a long-eared cylindrical exploration robot mode, silently following the tiny figure.
The long mechanical tracks dragged very obvious tracks on the sand.
In the observation of the 'ant compound eyes' in mid-air,
This tiny figure is about to step into the predetermined "death ray circle" step by step.
There are 10 more yards to go...
very good.
Seven more steps to go.
At this time——
A finely swirling cyclone slowly began to blow from the ground.
This is a natural phenomenon caused by the shifting of magnetic poles. The fine sand on the ground is vibrating and rotating slightly.
The special geographical changes of the "life circle" concealed the ambush hidden under the deep pit. A lurking "big guy" is waiting for an opportunity to move.
Four steps.
Three steps.

At the bottom of a deep pit. In a cocoon-shaped lifeboat.
After noticing the mental power fluctuations that the hunting target was so wide that it was close to the "ten miles" range, "Vulture" Snow immediately took back all the mental power that was released.
It eliminates the sense of 'spying' that will be given to the other party.
At the same time, the ground anti-detection device that was placed in advance and camouflaged as a sand scorpion also reminded him in the brain-computer synchronization frequency that the AI robot hunting the target was increasing the intensity of the "risk-elimination scan".
He could only shut down all the reverse monitoring devices on the ground and only allow the "ant compound eyes" in the sky to open high-altitude monitoring.
In my heart, I cursed the 'financier' for giving me such ridiculously inaccurate information!
The hunting target was 100 yards outside the 'death ray' ambush circle and accurately predicted the crisis.
It is impossible to be at the level of an intermediate 'beginner'!
At least she was a double-S psychic. Although the nature of her abilities was still unclear, Snow did not intend to be curious.
There was a strange sense of crisis telling him that this was an opponent of the same level!
As soon as this thought came to mind, the vulture rejected it with his own mind! How absurd!
He was registered in the Empire as a 3S psychic enhancer, but only he knew that in addition to his identity as a '3S Psychic Inducer', he also had the ability to break through and advance to 4S!
Even if the information from the 'financial sponsor' was wrong, could he, who was famous for his repeated victories in 'cross-level challenges', feel that such a weak omega was an 'equal' opponent?
He sneered in his heart, then called up the 'sonic inducer' to simulate the special frequency band that only psychics can use to produce hallucinations.
With the help of the 3S Mentor, the heart-touching groans of pain gradually penetrated the opponent's mental tentacles...
At the same time, the humanoid body in the cocoon-shaped lifeboat, facing the depth scan of the AI robot, also deliberately slowed down his breathing and heartbeat.
More realistically and perfectly impersonating the physiological state of impending death.
Very good, under the monitoring of the high-altitude "flying mosquito compound eyes"——
The petite figure slowly approached the ambush circle of the 'Death Ray'...
Four steps.
Three steps.
…
However--
What!?
At the last step, she stopped!
In the 'mosquito compound eye' of high-altitude surveillance, the locked target stood motionless at the edge of the 'death ray' ambush circle.
This is a very brief fifteen-second pause.
But 'Vulture' Snow, who rarely brought personal emotions into the mission, felt extremely humiliated!
The 'mental inducement technique' that he had been hiding as his trump card actually failed!
He decided to stop focusing on seduction and tactics and focus on hunting!
*
From Su Xi's perspective, this situation was completely unexpected.
At that crucial last half yard, my heart started pounding again for no apparent reason, and a sharp warning sounded in my brain again!
The extremely painful groaning sound that belonged to human beings was still ringing in her ears as if urging her, but Su Xi felt like a basin of ice water was poured on her in the scorching heat!
Suddenly I woke up!
She took back the step she was about to take! But before she could analyze how the abnormality occurred——
"Danger!" Xiguang warned in his mental voice!
But it's too late!
Less than a palm's length away from her, a powerful and dense red laser shot out from the disguise on the ground. The extremely strong energy not only burned the plants and gravel on the ground into charcoal-like ashes!
The excessively high temperature also caused high-temperature distortion of the air, creating a terrifying sight of rapid airflows rolling!
In the 'mosquito compound eye' under high-altitude surveillance, although the tiny target was slightly out of the ambush circle of the 'death ray', the tumbling airflow carried a high temperature that could melt metal, which was not surprising!
Completely engulfed Su Xi's petite figure!
