Critical Point
Want to make a big move? KID and others, who had finally entered the range of the mother mantis, looked at Ying Chenlin in confusion.
"I'm interested in making a big move, but can it be done quickly?" Ji Qingfeng struggled to hold onto the mother mantis. The restraint lock sickle on his mecha had been modified by the base repairman and could now withstand greater pulling, but it didn't include comparing strength with the mantis. "I'm afraid if I don't control it, we'll all collapse together."
Ying Chenlin lowered his head to the radar, noticing a strange signal on it. However, he couldn't see the positions of the mechas from the Second Star Region. Obviously, they were well-prepared, and their goal was likely the unique crystal of the mother mantis.
The approaching opponents were silent, clearly avoiding leaving any traces on the Koria Management Bureau detection system. Since they went to such lengths to avoid surveillance, it wasn't a good idea to let them leave empty-handed.
Ying Chenlin remarked, "Someone wants to come and snatch things. It's not good to let them leave empty-handed."
You Su chuckled at the words, "Not afraid of playing too much?"
"When we were teleported, I noticed the time it took for spatial displacement. The time difference doesn't exceed 5 seconds."
Ying Chenlin said, "I believe in your accuracy. Do you trust me to count the seconds?"
You Su lowered his eyes slightly, able to see the trapped mechas below in the swamp unable to move freely. Looking through a mecha, he seemed to see the earnest and shining eyes of someone in the cockpit when they spoke. He spoke lightly, "Why wouldn't I trust you?"
Ying Chenlin paused, "Will you listen to me counting then?"
Casually, You Su responded, "Sure."
Lin Yao reacted a bit slowly, "Huh? Aren't we trying to escape?"
"Escape." Huo Yan pulled the Wind Blade Mantis closer, "Chenlin means detonate before teleporting, we need to reciprocate."
Detonate! Hearing this, Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng became excited.
Ji Qingfeng blushed, looking excitedly at the mother mantis under his feet, "We escape, and then detonate them in place?"
Lin Yao's eyes lit up, "This is interesting!!! Can we blast them out of the game?"
Lu Xi, however, had some concerns, "But GBK is smart. We used this trick once before, will they fall for it again?"
KID and the others hesitated upon hearing this.
The damage caused by the explosion could be reduced if the other side was prepared, and they were trapped in the swamp, unable to move freely. The mechas from the Second Star Region were free, and they had recently tricked them. It was unlikely that the other side wouldn't be cautious.
However, Ying Chenlin said, "Do you know how to detonate to hit the vital points?"
---
The positions of the mechas on the radar remained unchanged, and the three teams of mechas rapidly approaching could feel the fluctuations in pollution levels around them. The two teams of mecha pilots who had been tricked by KID wore unpleasant expressions. They were reputable mecha squads in the Second Star Region and were unexpectedly turned around by a small base in the fringe star system.
This reversal not only exposed flaws in their plan but also allowed KID to discover the presence of this spatial displacement pollutant. Now, they had to shut down their mecha signals in advance to approach KID, and they had to figure out a way to snatch back the unique crystal from KID.
"White Team, sorry."
"KID's position hasn't changed. Is there a problem?"
Bai Xuyan asked, "Are you saying they used weapons to bombard the forest pollutants and attracted them to you?"
"Yes, we still need to be cautious of their weapons. They are a bit chaotic in their approach."
Other mecha pilots from GBK said, "This is inside the forest, and they are also in the forest. Using weapons is asking for trouble, especially in the air where they can deal with you."
The team leader's face looked awkward.
"You should be grateful that they couldn't handle those two pollutants. They can't move, they're probably trapped in the swamp."
Bai Xuyan, in the process of fast flight, was analyzing the radar map sent from the Bureau. Obviously, KID had not moved for a long time, and there were only two possibilities for this: either the other party intentionally set a trap, or they were unable to move.
Apparently, under the current circumstances of scattered forces, Dawn would not choose the former. It could only be the latter, that another pollutant had brought trouble to KID. The movement of mechas left traces, but in the radar information they captured, KID's displacement was equivalent to none, as if they were stuck in one place, unable to move a long distance.
At least from the information currently available on the radar, this spatial displacement ability crystal was very powerful, and the other unknown ability crystal was no less potent.
"White Team, Swift Wind also turned off the mecha signal."
"Do we need to go for the second plan? Guard against Swift Wind's encirclement?"
Bai Xuyan said, "Ignore Swift Wind. Qi Sicheng is smart, they won't come to rescue KID."
What surprised Bai Xuyan was that KID could actually hold off two teams with just a few people. This gave him a new understanding of the base of Sirius. However, this kind of team couldn't make it to the Star Alliance Tournament, there were still too many shortcomings.
Thinking of the recent incident where he was tricked by Shen Xingtang at the auction in Sirius, Bai Xuyan's eyes slightly darkened. "Don't be polite with KID."
The mechas turned around the forest, and they saw KID's coordinates right in front of them.
The signals around the mechas started to change significantly. Bai Xuyan told the others to spread out, trying not to enter the field of the spatial displacement pollutant. Several mechas turned a corner, and from a distance, they saw KID trapped in the swamp.
Bai Xuyan was about to get closer when suddenly he saw a control mecha through the scope. The next second, before they could get closer, the control mecha, as if to prevent them from approaching, actually fired a few water cannons in their direction.
"KID noticed us!"
"Be careful of the water cannons from the control mecha. They dare not use sniper rifles, so they can only use water cannons." Bai Xuyan saw that most of KID's mecha was in the swamp and also saw the mother mantis subdued in the swamp. He furrowed his brows slightly, "Is it actually a mantis?"
Everything went according to his expectations. He ordered, "Keep the artillery in the rear for support, don't make a move, sneak up and assess the situation. Others, spread out, first determine the situation of the pollutants."
The two original teams of mecha pilots rushed up, seeing the annoying water bullets. The mecha pilots looked at the control mecha pilot in the swamp. Could this mecha pilot think that using these water bullets could block them and buy time for their escape?
In the swamp, KID and the others were trapped, unable to resist. Only one control mecha was persistently attacking them with water bullets, seemingly attempting to prevent them from getting closer. The mecha pilots from the Second Star Region originally thought they would engage in a direct conflict with KID, but they didn't expect these guys to be trapped in the swamp, completely in a state of powerlessness.
Bai Xuyan stepped back a few steps, and a water cannon passed by him. He noticed the swamp distributed in front of him. "Maintain some distance from the swamp. Their use of artillery is extreme, and they might act recklessly."
Standing outside the swamp, he used the scope to observe the situation in the distance. Suddenly, he saw a small red halo hidden around the swamp.
The center of the halo was the mother mantis. Bai Xuyan was slightly puzzled. Was it the territory of that mantis?
As a precaution, he ordered, "Be cautious of the red circle on the ground, it might be the territory of that mantis."
The mecha pilots didn't dare to approach, fearing the influence of the mother mantis.
Meanwhile, the mecha pilots saw the artillery mecha trapped in the swamp lift its hand. When the artillery mecha raised its cannon, these mecha pilots had already prepared defensively. "Are these people from KID stupid? Do they want to trigger an explosion and take us down with them?"
All mecha pilots were prepared to increase their defense. Suddenly, Bai Xuyan saw the stealth mecha pilot who had been pulling the mother mantis suddenly release the restraint lock sickle in his hand. Then, the red halo in the swamp where the mother mantis was located shone brightly.
He exclaimed, "No! It's a teleport. Quickly, stop the mechas!"
Other mecha pilots wanted to get closer, but it was too late.
The stealth mecha in the swamp even shouted through a loudspeaker, "Sending a big cannon for you to taste, bye-bye!"
In the moment when the red light shone brightly, the energy cannon in the hands of the artillery mecha suddenly scattered. At the moment of close-range scattering, the fire quickly spread along the swamp, resembling a rapid-fire dragon. Bai Xuyan hastily retreated, but the exploding dragon was faster than he expected, roaring through the entire swamp, heading toward all the mechas.
The tank mecha opened its protective shield on the spot for defense. However, the next second, its feet suddenly ignited, and the explosion climbed up along the ground, forming an explosion on its mecha. Not only the tank mecha, but all the mecha pilots from the Second Star Region suddenly found that the fiery light, which should have exploded in the swamp and swamp gas, unexpectedly exploded on them.
The alarms of the mechas sounded, and Bai Xuyan hurriedly flew upward. However, as he flew up, he suddenly saw a fire dragon coming straight towards him. In an instant, it ignited on the surface of his mecha. In the moment of the explosion, he suddenly realized something and angrily looked towards KID's position.
It was that control mecha!
The consecutive explosions attracted the attention of most people, including the Koria Management Bureau.
The energy generated by the large explosion corresponded to KID's coordinates. Moreover, at the moment of the explosion, they received damage reports from multiple mechas. The mechas from the Second Star Region were passively activated when they suffered high damage. Damage reports from multiple mechas were sent to the central control room of the Second Star Region on the Koria Star.
Damage: 60%, 55%, 45%, and so on—
More than a dozen mechas were damaged in an instant.
The leader of the Second Star Region stood up in shock, seeing that some mechas with damage were from GBK. "What's going on?"
In the rest area of the Dawn System, when they received news of the massive energy explosion in the swamp forest, everyone immediately stood up. However, when they locked onto the original coordinates, they found that the signals of the s-level pollutants and KID had all disappeared. In their place were several exposed signals of mechas from the Second Star Region.
Zhang Ge was astonished. "The signals disappeared...?"
"No way, is the Second Star Region so ruthless!" Jiang Simiao was full of resentment. He stood up and was about to go to the bureau. "I'm going to fight them to the death!"
At this moment, Shen Xingtang suddenly grabbed him. "Wait, look over there."
Jiang Simiao was stunned and looked at the monitoring screen.
KID's and the s-level pollutant's signals appeared 15 kilometers away.
Suddenly, the long-lost channel regained a signal, and the sizzling electric current sound resounded. The voices of KID and the others were lively and vivid.
In another part of the swamp forest, KID and others dragged the mother mantis with the Wind Blade Mantis, flying high and looking at the huge fireworks 15 kilometers away. Several mechas were unharmed, except for the surface of the mechas being blackened by the fire. One stealth mecha had its footsteps still burning with a faint flame, but it was quickly extinguished with the help of the control mecha's water bullets.
"Phew, brother, you almost burned me."
"Why is the swamp gas still on fire in the air? Fortunately, Xi Mei helped extinguish the fire."
"Fire, fire, fire!!!"
"You guys, look over there, this explosion is too bright, really beautiful!"
"......￥"
In the rest area, a group of people looked at KID's position in astonishment, not knowing what had happened, listening to the mixed voices and the sizzling electric current sound. Jiang Simiao swallowed back the tears in his eyes. From the sizzling electric current sound, he heard something. "What did they say?"
Shen Xingtang translated, "They said these 10 energy cannons exploded beautifully."
Zhang Ge: "?" Recently, there have been severe transcode issues, making it more motivating for us. Please take a moment to exit the mode. Thank you.
