Chapter 195: Steel Mane Enemy Shadow
The spacecraft is flat as a whole, with a shell of more than 100 meters long, with a slightly smaller size and a small tonnage. It is equipped with many armor and weapon platforms that are not commonly used by civilian spacecraft. It is obviously a semi-armed expedition ship.
"Qi Ying, whose spaceship is this?" Zhuang Xiaolin's face was as deep as water. No one could tell that he was very unhappy now.
Qi Ying was a little embarrassed. She thought that only the three information recipients were the Burning Tiger Mercenary Group, which was the best result. Unexpectedly, after so long, the second one came, which made the situation complicated. However, she still said truthfully: "This is Schroeder's Silver Leaf spacecraft. He is also an interstellar explorer, a senior general of the Biochemical Department, and has about thirty crew members."
"Schroeder?" Zhuang Xiaolin frowned and asked, "He usually plays with starfish, right? I've heard of it a few times."
"Yes, it's him."
Qi Ying was surprised. When she was sending a message for help, she specially chose three people who had no intersection. If all three of them came, she could balance the situation in the center, but Zhuang Xiaolin recognized Schroeder, which would be a little bad.
At this time, a mercenary shouted: "Captain, this spacecraft is damaged and very serious."
Everyone looked up. Because the distance was too far, the cameras equipped with power armor could not capture the spacecraft more than 1,000 kilometers high very clearly. So I didn't pay attention to the situation of the spacecraft before, but if I looked closely, I could still vaguely see that the spacecraft's shell was damaged in multiple places, leaving traces of being attacked by artillery fire.
This discovery made everyone feel sank.
The Orion Nebula is located in the heart of the Steel Berry Empire, but Schroeder's spacecraft was attacked. He thought to know their traces were discovered by the Steel Berry Orcs!
Unless Schroeder has killed the Steel-Bered Orc, everyone will suffer. The worst case scenario is that the Steel-Bered Orc also chases into the depths of the Nebula...
Qi Ying was also anxious and cursed regardless of her image: "Schroeder, a bastard, teammate of pigs, if he attracts the steel-bed orc, I will never end up with him!"
Zhuang Xiaolin waved his hand and said loudly: "Hidden!"
Everyone immediately understood what he meant. They were so conspicuous on the ground. If they continued to move towards the North Pole, Schroeder would easily find his whereabouts and expose the secrets of the North Pole.
Everyone quickly found a cliff and hid in it, observing the movements of Schroeder's spacecraft through the gaps in the stone wall.
The spacecraft adjusted its flight orbit and slowly approached the warships of the mercenary group, stayed relatively still a hundred kilometers away, and then stopped moving. It was unnecessary to think about it, the spacecraft must be communicating with the warships, but the warship did not seem to respond. Soon after, the spacecraft sent a drone to search for the planet's surface.
The target of the drone is also the plain where the stone text is located.
As expected, drones crashed one after another, gradually exploring the speed limit of Mach 7.
Seeing this scene, the mercenaries gloated and waited for the spaceship to send people to land on the surface. It would be better to land on the plain and trap there, so that they would not want to rush to the North Pole in time.
However, after waiting for nearly two days, Schroeder's spacecraft did not send anyone to land, nor did he move, which made everyone a little stunned.
"Xiao Lin, you can't wait any longer. It's been wasted two days, and there are still ten days for the star energy to explode." Qi Ying persuaded, looking anxious.
In her opinion, it doesn't matter if Schroeder participates in exploring the remains of super civilization. One more person means more strength. As for the issue of harvest distribution, it is easy to discuss afterwards. When she sent a message for help, she was mentally prepared and knew that she could not take over the benefits.
Zhuang Xiaolin walked back and forth at the bottom of the cliff, looking up at the sky, closing his eyes to ponder, his face was so ugly that it was about to drip out of water.
After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's go and continue to walk. I want to see how capable Schroeder is."
The group walked out of the cliff and advanced towards the North Pole.
Everyone was watching the spaceship in the sky as they walked. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a landing plane left the spaceship and flew towards the Arctic.
Zhuang Xiaolin looked at the landing plane from afar and suddenly said, "Stop, don't leave first, so as not to lead the rock giants to the danger they noticed in advance."
A group of people laughed maliciously, stopped in place, waiting for the landing plane to arrive. The landing plane flew at a speed below Mach 7, and took more than an hour to fly over the team and landed on a clearing ground hundreds of meters ahead.
"Since you're down, don't think about going back."
Zhuang Xiaolin watched the landing plane landing, snorted coldly, and ordered: "Let's turn around and stay away from them."
"Hahaha, let's see how they deal with the Sun Crystal Core!" Everyone decisively returned the same route, widening the distance from the landing plane.
The cabin door of the landing machine opened, and more than a dozen warriors wearing power armor rushed out. As soon as they formed a formation, the sun crystal cores within hundreds of meters around were awakened by the landing machine. The ground rolled, and hundreds of rock giants broke out of the ground. These armored warriors opened fire without hesitation.
The gunshot stopped for only one or two seconds, and laser rays flashed in the crowd, destroying all the gun weapons in an instant, and a small half of them were injured. In a panic, the landing plane tried to take off, but it was shot down just a few seconds after climbing to mid-air and exploded.
Seeing that this group of people suffered everything they had experienced, the mercenaries couldn't help but laugh.
The explosion of the landing plane caused the people below to fall, and hundreds of rock giants were besieging them. In less than a minute, the group of people had suffered heavy casualties and only six were left. If it weren't for a tall man wearing silver armor, holding a shield in one hand and holding a sword in the other, blocking most of the rock giants, this group of people would have been wiped out.
"Qi Ying, you cheated me!"
The man in the silver armor roared loudly: "I risked my life to come to this planet, and you didn't save me?"
When he roared, the sun crystal core within a radius of 1,000 meters was alarmed, and more rock giants appeared and surrounded from all directions. This incident caught the other party off guard, stunned for a moment, and immediately led the four surviving men to fight and move towards the mercenary team.
Zhuang Xiaolin was about to let everyone retreat, but Qi Ying stopped him and said, "Xiaolin, save him."
"Why?" Zhuang Xiaolin looked cold. He wished that the other party would die and one competitor would be missing.
Qi Ying thought about it and took out a glass test tube containing the sun crystal nucleus that he had just collected these days. It was not large in size, only one-third of the rice grains. He said lightly: "As long as you save Schroeder, this sun crystal nucleus will be yours."
Zhuang Xiaolin hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, "Trade."
He waved his hand and asked the team to move forward and quickly approached Schroeder and others. More than a dozen rock giants immediately discovered them, and the sun crystal nuclei underground crawled out one by one and attacked the team.
"Get out of the way!"
Qi Ying shouted loudly, and the mercenaries in front of him knew what she was going to do, so he quickly stepped back.
She closed her palms, and her whole body emitted a blue and white light, and her mind surged. A large amount of cold air gathered between her palms, forming an ice bead the size of a fist in an instant, and then raising her hand and firing it out.
This large ice rosary flashed away, with a speed exceeding the speed of sound. A huge amount of cold air radiated from all directions during flight. Finally, it exploded more than 300 meters away. The cold wind whistled, and the ground within a radius of 300 meters formed a frost white ground. All the rock giants in the range were frozen to the ground and could not move, like an ice sculpture.
The mercenaries seized the opportunity and rushed forward quickly. Taking advantage of the slow movement of the rock giant, they cleared out a safe passage.
After sending out the ice rosary, Qi Ying was not idle either. The crescent moon on his waist rose into the air, spinning at high speed like a cold moon, turning into a blue phantom and cutting back and forth around. Its edges were extremely sharp, cutting off the rock giants in half, and the killing efficiency was more than ten times higher than that of the mercenaries.
While killing the rock giant, Xin Ji secretly observed Qi Ying's battle. He couldn't help but sigh that the range of killing of the warlock is indeed much larger than that of the general.
In addition to the ice rosary and moon wheel weapons, Qi Ying also used various ice-type thought techniques. One after another, ice gun ice blades condensed out of thin air around her, and burst into coldness, easily killing the approaching rock giant, like a turret, scattering energy freely.
Qi Ying killed more rock giants by himself than everyone else combined.
Of course, Xin Ji also realized that this was Qi Ying's unreserved explosive mental power that could exert such great power. It could not last too long. Otherwise, she would have been able to rescue Schroeder herself, and Zhuang Xiaolin didn't need to take action.
A few minutes later, 80% of the surrounding rock giants were wiped out, and the two sides met on a frozen ground.
At this time, Schroeder's side had only three people, except him, and they were all injured. Because Qi Ying and two generals were present, the mercenary group did not lose their personnel.
"Look at you."
Qi Ying's eyes were gone, and the chilling chill on her body subsided by more than 70%. The Yuelun weapon was also taken back. In just a few minutes, she consumed most of her mental power and her combat power was still there, but on this planet full of crisis, she had to retain some of her strength to defend herself and did not dare to do her best.
Zhuang Xiaolin and Schroedziqi snorted coldly, ignoring each other, but still let their subordinates form a cylindrical formation and unite to resist the siege of the rock giant.
There are not many rock giants left, only a few dozen, which is not enough to pose too much threat. As the rock giants are shattered, the battle is coming to an end.
Boom...
At this moment, a loud thunder came from the sky!
Everyone looked up and their faces changed wildly. They saw Schroeder's Silver Leaf spacecraft rolling out of the silver leaf, falling from orbit. The spacecraft was not sure what attacks it had been. There was a big black hole in the middle, and the hull was almost broken into two pieces. After falling into the atmosphere, it quickly disintegrated, turning into fragments of the sky and falling to the ground.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, a huge laser ray appeared out of thin air in the sky. The diameter of the ray exceeded ten meters, like a giant laser sword, piercing through the sky and shooting towards a target in outer space.
At the end of everyone's vision of the power armor, a blurred black shadow appeared in space tens of thousands of kilometers away. The mercenaries shouted in surprise:
"The Battleship of the Steel Berry Empire!"
