A beam of light shot out from Ling Lan's gun. At the same time, Devil Blade, who was staring at his opponent, pulled the trigger too. One of the three people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces was his opponent.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The beams of light hit the mechas and two loud explosions were heard.
Amidst the explosion, two mechas flew out. Their mechas were glowing with light. That was the effect of activating their beam shields. One of the mecha was completely unscathed, while the right shoulder of the other mecha had a gash. A thick plume of smoke billowed out from it, and as the mecha flew, it drew a black, twisting line in the air above the combat arena.
After Ling Lan fired the shot, she didn't see any results. She turned her gun around and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The last batch of people were out of their protection period.
Unfortunately, she was too late. The opponent had activated his beam shield and escaped from the beam of light unharmed.
"I'm still too slow. If I was faster, I might have succeeded." Ling Lan stared at the mecha that escaped. She pouted. She felt a little regretful. The speed of her fingers was still slower than what she wanted. She was still too weak. She saw an opportunity but she couldn't grab it. She wasted this shot.
The mecha operator that got shot slammed the control panel in his cockpit. He said angrily, "Damn it. I got shot." He was actually shot by an unknown mecha operator. This made him feel humiliated.
"Jiao Thirteen, the opponent should be someone with strong spiritual power. Be careful of their long-range attacks." Their leader, Lin Five, reminded him calmly.
People with strong spiritual power would wake up faster than normal people in the virtual world. This was known to the public a long time ago. The members of the Flying Dragon Special Forces were all mecha operators with the perfect combination of spiritual power and physical strength. It was inevitable that their spiritual power would be weaker than those mecha operators with monstrous spiritual power. Hence, it was normal for them to wake up later.
However, those mecha operators with monstrous spiritual power were all good at long-range attacks. This was related to their physique. People with strong mental strength tended to have weaker physiques. However, close combat required a strong physique. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash. This was the reason why Lin Five reminded Jiao Shisan. He was afraid that Jiao Shisan would be too agitated and forget to take precautions. If that happened, it would be really embarrassing.
In fact, Lin Five was surprised. Jiao Seventeen didn't dodge that spear? In Long Xiang, in order to deal with this possibility, all the members had undergone self-defense training at the moment of awakening. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been hit.
Lin Five didn't think too much about it. He didn't have time to think because his opponent had already charged towards him with a huge sword.
"Dang!" A loud sound rang out as the two huge swords collided fiercely, almost causing the surrounding people to be shaken off. The two powerful close-combat mecha operators clashed.
"Jiao Shisan, you were too slow to activate your light shield!" The mecha operator who dodged Devil Blade's attack sneered at his teammate. He managed to dodge Devil Blade's sneak attack just now so he didn't think highly of Jiao Shisan.
Jiao Shisan was furious when he heard this. "Wei Nine, you are the one who was slow!"
Jiao Shisan was sure that he had followed the training pattern perfectly. He was even better than he was during the training. However, he was still hit by the bullet. He even suspected that the mainframe had made a mistake and ignored his control, allowing the enemy to take advantage of him.
Actually, Jiao Shisan couldn't be blamed for not understanding the situation. Ling Lan's shot was perfectly controlled. The moment the mainframe lost its protection, she fired the shot without any delay. The mainframe judged that the shot was effective. If she was a little faster, the mainframe would have judged that Ling Lan's attack was ineffective and Jiao Shisan wouldn't have been injured.
Of course, if Jiao Shisan was able to activate his light shield like Ling Lan, Ling Lan's attack would be ineffective too. However, Jiao Shisan wasn't able to do that. He was one step slower than Ling Lan. Now, what awaited him wasn't heaven but hell.
This was why Devil Blade's sneak attack failed. He was one step slower so his attack was blocked by Jiao Shisan's light shield. However, no one had the time to study Ling Lan's control. They all thought that Ling Lan was too lucky.
Jiao Shisan's right hand was crippled. If he was a normal long-range mecha operator, his combat ability would be greatly reduced. However, in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, they didn't allow any weaknesses in their mecha operators. Thus, all the mecha operators in the Flying Dragon Special Forces were proficient in using both hands. If their right hand couldn't be used, they could still use their left hand.
However, no matter how proficient they were at using both hands, the power of their left hand was still weaker than their right hand. This meant that Jiao Shisan's ability was indeed weakened. As for how much it was weakened, it depended on how good his left hand was.
Jiao Shisan suppressed his anger and took out his beam gun. Right as he was about to attack Ling Lan, he felt a strong gust of wind blowing towards him.
Jiao Shisan was shocked. He quickly dodged 10 meters away and saw a deep gash on the ground.
"Whirlwind Slash!" A close-combat mecha rushed towards him crazily. A large cold weapon was swung towards him.
"Total Annihilation!" It was a basic attack but Jiao Shisan couldn't dodge the attack. He decisively threw away his beam gun and took out his large sword from his back.
"Bang!" Another deafening sound reverberated throughout the entire fighting arena, causing the movements of everyone who was in the midst of battle to involuntarily slow down.
Ling Lan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly pulled the trigger. A beam of light suddenly shot out from the muzzle of her gun. This sudden beam of light shocked the opponent. His fingers moved quickly and his mecha suddenly dodged to the left.
"Bang!" The beam of light still hit the mecha. The beam shield dimmed instantly. He had to use his beam shield to block the first shot when he woke up. Now that he was hit again, his beam shield could only withstand the last shot. Unless he changed his energy storage unit, his condition wouldn't be any better than Jiao Shisan.
"Your opponent is me." The berserker who was facing Jiao Shisan laughed excitedly. If it wasn't for Ling Lan's shot, he might not have been able to get close to this long-range mecha operator. At that time, he would be the one being chased and attacked.
Close-range mecha operators hated long-range mecha operators on the battlefield. If they wanted to attack a long-range mecha operator, they had to close the distance between them first. However, long-range mecha operators weren't stupid. They wouldn't give a chance for a close-range mecha operator to get close to them.
In short, the close-range mecha operator was at a disadvantage in this situation. He had to endure the firepower of his opponent to get closer and closer. If he met an opponent who was on the same level as him, he would definitely die.
While Jiao Shisan and the berserker were fighting, the other people also noticed the enemies around them. Hence, the entire arena became chaotic.
Devil Blade was fighting with his opponent. His opponent was a close-range mecha operator. After a few rounds of close combat, Devil Blade felt that he was having a hard time dealing with his opponent.
"Looks like this mecha operator is as strong as Domineering Blade. I just don't know how strong he is among the six people." Devil Blade was anxious. If their opponent wasn't the strongest, they might not be able to survive this battle.
Devil Blade knew that if he wanted to turn the situation around, he had to increase the distance between him and his opponent. Although he operated a balanced mecha and was good at both close combat and long-range combat, in reality, his long-range combat skills were stronger than his close-range combat skills. In such a situation, Devil Blade could only think of ways to increase the distance between him and his opponent.
It should be said that he was too conservative at the start. He actually gave his opponent a chance to get close to him. If not, the situation wouldn't be so difficult now.
Devil Blade exchanged another blow with his opponent. Suddenly, a short-range beam gun appeared in his left hand. A series of beams shot out from the gun and formed a net of beams towards his opponent.
His opponent had no choice but to dodge this attack. Devil Blade took the opportunity to quickly retreat.
"In your dreams!" The moment Devil Blade moved, his opponent knew what he was planning to do. He used a Whirlwind Slash with his large sword and destroyed the beam shield. Then, his mecha flew towards Devil Blade like a cannonball.
Devil Blade saw his opponent chasing after him. He gritted his teeth and pushed his engine to the maximum. Even if it was overloaded, he had to increase the distance between him and his opponent. The short-range beam gun in his hand started attacking furiously. He wanted to slow down his opponent as much as possible.
"Competing in speed?" Devil Blade's opponent saw what was happening and sneered. His modified mecha had improved its speed. He pushed his engine hard and there was a loud roar. The speed of his mecha increased by a notch. The distance that Devil Blade had increased was shortened again.
"Damn it. My opponent is a speed modified mecha." Devil Blade was frustrated. He was really unlucky today. His sneak attack had failed and his opponent was a speed modified mecha that countered long-range attacks.
In fact, Devil Blade was prepared for this. He knew that he would encounter a speed modified mecha. After all, most close-combat mecha operators would choose to modify their mecha in two aspects. One of them would be speed and the other would be strength. However, Demon Blade still felt aggrieved when the truth came to pass.
At this moment, Ling Lan's voice could be heard in Devil Blade's team channel. "Devil Blade, XX.XX, assist Domineering Blade immediately."
Devil Blade was stunned when he heard this. He was still being attacked by his opponent. How was he going to get past him?
Suddenly, a beam shot from afar. Coincidentally, it hit the mecha that was chasing after Devil Blade.
Devil Blade's opponent had no choice but to dodge the sudden attack. When he wanted to chase after Devil Blade, another beam shot towards him and disrupted his movement.
Devil Blade saw this. Although he doubted if Ling Lan could really stop his opponent, he decided to change his direction and flew towards Domineering Blade.
