Chapter 37: The Intelligence Mistake of the Pig Teammate
Chapter 37: The Intelligence Mistake of the Pig Teammate
In a forest a hundred miles away, the giant colonial mecha controlled by Wen Rui was kneeling on one knee, hidden under the lush trees. The mecha was holding a large sniper cannon that matched its tall body.
This gun is a cyber creation that is a combination of biological tissue and machinery. The barrel and receiver are complex mechanical structures and electromagnetic coils, while the sniper scope and magazine are a giant eyeball and a bag of sarcoma-like hyperplastic tissue.
The magazine uses biochemical components. The main reason is to achieve the degradability of the fired projectiles while ensuring the strength of the bullets, ensuring that no bullets are left behind and traced.
Metal warheads, even depleted uranium warheads, cannot penetrate gold or fire defense shields. They can only restrain wood shields. Under the natural law of the five elements, the laws of physics have been distorted.
However, the modulated biological warhead is an evil external object, not within the Five Elements, outside the Three Realms, and is not affected by the Five Elements' rules of mutual restraint. It can penetrate all kinds of shields as if they were nothing.
Suction cup tentacles extend from the gun's grip and buttstock and wrap around the mecha's gun-holding arm, firmly connecting the gun holder and the gun together, increasing the recoil absorption effect and shooting stability.
"Sir, the current output power is 85%. Do you want to increase the power again to further test the shooting effect?"
"No need."
Wen Rui said: "The surname Gu is not a false reputation. He is considered a figure among the cultivators of the same realm. After all, in this era, if you indulge in flowers and women without real skills, you will be killed by a group of dog-licking heroes, cuckold heroes, resentful fairies, and sickly fairies."
Under the threat of the enemy's ultra-long-range and high-speed shuttle, there is also a large array of traps ahead. If it were someone else, they would probably have been waiting for death in despair.
But this situation has not yet reached the limit of what Gu Changfeng can deal with. His mind is racing at this moment. First of all, he rejected the idea of flying into the air with his sword and bypassing the minefield from a high altitude. Such an action would play right into the enemy's hands. After taking off, his maneuverability would decrease and there would be no cover, making him a glaring target.
The enemy's shuttle was extremely fast and its shooting frequency was also very high, but fortunately it was just at the limit of what Gu Changfeng could handle. At this moment, if its mobility was reduced a little bit, he would not be able to guarantee that he could easily dodge or knock down the shuttle.
If taking off is not an option, then retreating is also not an option. The high-speed shuttle seems to have the ability to block spiritual perception. Gu Changfeng is concentrating on activating the sword heart to barely predict the landing point of the shuttle. The weak area of a cultivator's spiritual perception is the blind spot behind his vision. If he turns his head to escape, his spiritual perception will decrease, and without the help of vision, the risk of being hit by the shuttle from behind is extremely high.
As for retreating backwards, it will greatly slow down the speed and reduce maneuverability, which is also not advisable.
Gu Changfeng also thought of the strategy of using earth escape to sneak into the ground, but it was quickly rejected. Firstly, he was not sure whether the sophisticated and cunning enemy would set an ambush underground; secondly, sneaking underground would have a stronger effect on reducing the speed of movement. The shuttle had extremely strong penetrating power and could easily penetrate the soil. He would be nailed to death before he could sneak into the deep and safe stratum, and there would be no need to bury him then.
As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. A man who is arrogant and pretentious will surely be envied. It is not the first or second time that Gu Changfeng has encountered sudden assassination attempts. If he did not have some real skills and lacked some practical experience, he would not have been able to survive until now.
It happened in a flash, and this pre-battle deduction only took one or two seconds. Gu Changfeng immediately made a decision that was in line with the nature of a sword cultivator: No matter what tricks you use, I can break them with one sword!
With his hands making sword gestures, the sword case on Gu Changfeng's back opened up in a fan shape like a peacock's opening. Dozens of flying swords flew out of the sword case like a swarm of bees, floating in the air to form a sword group.
Then the sword group in the air split again, one into two, two into four, four into eight. After several rounds of splitting, the sword shadows in the sky were as dense as a huge flock of flying birds.
"Torrent Sword Net, go!"
With a low roar, the black mass of swords flew into the forest like startled birds, forming a torrent of flying swords that covered the sky and the sun, sweeping towards the trap area ahead. Gu Changfeng flew into the group of swords, blended into the torrent and pounced forward.
The Ten Thousand Swords Art is a magical sword-controlling technique that can only be performed by sword cultivators who have mastered the secret method of "transforming the virtual into the real". Gu Changfeng lived up to his reputation as a genius and quietly broke through the Nascent Soul stage and became a powerful Return to the Void. The magical power of the Nascent Soul stage can also summon ten thousand swords, mountains and boulders, rivers and raging flames, but they are only simulations of spiritual power and are only superficial. Although they have a certain lethality, they are only a few points stronger than the sleight of hand. Compared with the real thing, the power is greatly reduced, and they are often not solid enough to break the enemy's defensive magical power.
Those who have reached the level of Return to the Void can distort the boundary between reality and illusion at will. As long as their spiritual power can be maintained, the great power of moving mountains and filling the sea that they display cannot be distinguished between true and false. Reality and illusion are the same, without any difference.
The flying swords differentiated by Gu Changfeng, whether real or imaginary, had the same powerful destructive power as real swords. The sword group broke through the trap area like plowing the house and sweeping the holes, triggering a series of explosions in succession. At the same time, the dense sword net also blocked the shuttle sniper attacks, sweeping away everything in front of it.
"Jarvis, you are such a pig teammate. Every time you provide information, there will be some deviation! He is already in the initial stage of Return to Void, and you tell me that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
Wen Rui, who saw this shocking scene through the sniper scope, muttered, "Come to think of it, the hundred times more spiritual stones this guy extorted from me are enough for him to advance to the Return to Void stage and lay the foundation for his Dao. Killing his sister to prove his Dao is shameless, but it is very effective!"
"Excuse me sir, how about we retreat first? Although running away is shameful, it is also effective."
Jarvis spoke in a muffled voice, without a hint of apology in his mechanical tone.
Wen Rui frowned, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Jarvis, charge the main gun, and try to kill him with a single shot."
A huge amount of spiritual power was continuously output from the energy core of the demon pill, and the high-concentration spiritual liquid stored in the artificial intestine was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wen Rui lifted up the slightly swollen chest armor, revealing two jade hemispherical gems emitting dazzling white light.
The energy was full, and tiny flashes of lightning flickered faintly around the orb. As soon as it thought about it, a thick beam of light spurted out and gushed out towards the sword net composed of thousands of swords like a torrent.
Along the way, whether it was giant trees, rocks or soil, they all vaporized and evaporated the moment the beam of light swept past, disappearing completely. The light of the giant cannon plowed deep arc-shaped pits on the ground, the cut surface was extremely smooth, and even appeared to be molten glass under the high temperature.
The moment the swords swimming like dragons hit the light column, iron sparks flew everywhere, as if lasers were burning metal. Thick smoke and incandescent molten iron and steel sparks splashed out. The flying swords that turned from virtual to real were no different from the real flying swords. They did not dissipate under the high-energy impact, but melted and shattered like real flying swords.
Precisely because of the process of melting and absorbing energy, the impact of the light column slowed down slightly, giving Gu Changfeng a split second to react. He hurriedly took out an Eight Diagrams mirror from his bag and held it in front of him.
The magic mirror also emitted a dazzling light, and a huge Bagua formation diagram appeared in the air, barely blocking the light column. Then the collision of the two energies made a loud noise that shook the world, and the shock wave of the explosion swept the entire forest.
Wen Rui looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance through the sniper scope and asked, "Report the damage effect of the shelling immediately and confirm whether the target has been eliminated."
"The target is still alive. Preliminary judgment shows that the target's vitality has only dropped to 78% of normal."
"Connect to the cloud network, access the data stream precision analysis mode, activate the combat assistance system, and prepare for close combat!"
Wen Rui acted decisively and gave the order without hesitation. The giant's exoskeleton armor split into scales, and the fingernails on both hands began to straighten and become thicker. The giant suddenly dug the ground with both hands, turning over the soil like a pangolin, and his huge body drilled into the ground smoothly like a fish swimming and diving.
