Lorelei nodded: "I'll turn this off first."
She looked at the laser beam, raised her right arm, and her black armor rippled like flowing water, from which a bullet emerged.
The bullet whizzed away, weaving through the blue laser beams like a fish, heading straight for the source of the blue river.
Bang!
Sizzle~
Amidst the crackling of sparks, the blue laser came to a halt, the roar of its power source reluctantly fading into its final, resounding note.
"Let's go." Lorelei took the lead.
Li Qianxia slung Yin Seli over her back, grabbed her steel gun, and followed closely behind.
They had only walked a few steps.
boom!
The ground shook violently, and all three of them swayed. Luo Lei instinctively reached out to help Li Qianxia, only to find that she was standing firmly in place.
"For martial arts practitioners, the focus is on the fundamentals," Li Qianxia explained calmly, showing none of the reluctance she had shown when Li Changzhou forced her to learn.
Lorelei nodded.
"They're on their way to you!" came the shout from the dinosaur-headed warrior over the communicator.
"This is Konglu's true form. Would he really allow a mechanical beast to attack him?" Yin Seli asked, puzzled.
“The angel has passed away, it’s over,” Bi also spoke into the communicator.
Yin Seli's expression changed as she realized that the mechanical beasts were there to serve as raw materials for the angels to assemble small flying machines.
With the size of a small aircraft, it could flow like blood within the enormous metal body of the Konglu.
"Stop them!" Ian Se-ri shouted.
"I'll do my best! Da Yi, Hou Hou, support me!"
“We’ve tried our best…” Da Yi and Hou Hou didn’t seem to have much energy left.
After disconnecting from the communication, Yin Seli turned to Lorelei and said, "This can't go on, you—"
Before she could finish speaking, two chains suddenly whipped out from the ground, coiling around Luo Lei's hands like snakes and dragging her to the ground.
A dark shadow flashed, and a mechanical beast emerged from the water, leaping down from the bare ceiling and pouncing on Lorelei as if it were about to devour her.
Lorelei straightened her long legs and caught the mechanical beast by clamping the handle of the cleaver around the blade.
With a flick of his legs, he threw the mechanical beast out.
Peng!
The mechanical beast crashed into another mechanical beast that was lunging at it.
Li Qianxia's eyes flashed red as she focused her gaze on the shackles binding Luo Lei.
"Watch out!" Luo Lei looked behind Li Qianxia.
Yoon Seul-ri scanned the area with her mind, but failed to "catch" the other party; their speed was unbelievably fast!
Li Qianxia neither dodged nor flinched, but instead grabbed Yin Seli and pulled her in front of her to protect her.
"Swoosh!" A small mechanical beast with extremely high speed bit into Li Qianxia's shoulder.
The intense pain, coupled with the immense pressure, forced Li Qianxia to kneel on the ground.
Yin Se-ri finally caught it, hacked the small mechanical beast, and ordered it to let go!
Blood gushed out, the hole piercing through both front and back, and Li Qianxia's left shoulder slumped limply.
She retracted the red ray, and with her weak breathing, Lorelei, whose hands had been untied, used her waist to lift herself up, landing on the soles of her feet, and simultaneously her hands glowed with red light waves.
Screech! Screech!
Two small mechanical beasts were cut in half.
The series of movements were precise and elegant.
Li Qianxia swallowed a blood bead, and heavenly fire descended upon her mind, causing her body to tense as if on fire. Using this power, she raised her hand and slapped the steel spear out.
Peng!
One of the small mechanical beasts was flung away and crashed into another mechanical beast, but neither of them was injured.
Even with her visualization techniques, Li Qianxia's power was still insufficient to defeat these alien metal monsters.
But the instant she hit him, Yoon Seul-ri seized the opportunity again and hacked the two mechanical beasts.
Luo Lei glanced at Li Qianxia's wound. Although it was covered in blood, the data analysis on the helmet showed that the wound had healed. Without saying a word, she led the charge.
Li Qianxia stood up, carried Yin Seli on her back again, and followed.
The three of them walked and killed their way through, managing to hack into some mechanical beasts intermittently despite their injuries. However, as soon as they entered another passage, all their electronic devices malfunctioned.
The massive mechanical army that had been painstakingly assembled was completely crippled and rendered unusable.
The enemy couldn't get in, which gave Yoon Seul-ri a chance to speak.
"Loree, I need you to draw attention so we can get back into hiding!"
Lorelei nodded; her black armor was thinner than before.
"Keep moving!" Yin Seli didn't linger on the safety of this passage; it was inside enemy territory, and the longer they stayed, the less likely they were to get out.
Before the enemy's main force could arrive in full force, the three of them rushed out.
As soon as she stepped out, Luo Lei was kicked away by a powerful force, flying like a cannonball past Li Qianxia and Luo Lei's ears.
Opposite me was a hairy alien; if you ignored its terrifying muscles, it actually looked rather cute.
Yin Seli refrained from making a move and stood quietly against the wall with Li Qianxia, looking for an opportunity to advance.
The fluffy alien took two steps, and suddenly a tail shot out from behind it, swift as lightning, aiming for Lorelei's neck.
Lorelei lay on the ground, with nowhere to hide.
She raised her arms, crossed them in front of her chest, and with a hum, the red light wave blade appeared.
The situation reversed instantly.
The fluffy alien's tail broke off at the slightest touch, fell to the ground with a thud, and then rolled a long way away due to inertia.
It grinned, bared its teeth, and grabbed Lorelei's arms with both hands as if unaffected by pain.
The black armor unleashed powerful energy, causing the furry alien's arm muscles to swell and harden like metal.
