With a telepathic thought, ten Electric Whip Teethed Snakes dashed into the ventilation tubes and maintenance tubes between the sixth deck and the cockpit. ¢,
In the meantime, the probe magical equipment around the cockpit expanded its range of perception to the maximum, too.
The probe magical equipment was supposed to monitor whether or not the crystal warship was functioning normally.
Although it could not transmit any image, it could detect the temperature change and the special waves of metal objects precisely.
In less than half a minute, Ning Feng discovered that a metal object whose temperature was slightly higher than the surroundings was moving quickly in the ventilation tubes between the sixth deck and the cockpit.
"Gotcha!"
Ning Feng sniffed. He was about to summon the assault team to surround the ventilation tubes, when his heart skipped a beat. His intuition was ringing alarms again.
It seemed too easy for the intruder to be discovered so quickly.
The intruder had gone through so much trouble to sneak into the warship. There was no reason that the intruder couldn't cover the basic temperature and metal waves well. Such a straightforward plan seemed to be delivering itself to his doorstep.
Pondering for a moment, Ning Feng sent his telepathic thoughts to the rear of the warship and activated the alarm system around the engine compartment to the maximum.
Soon, he discovered a metal object whose temperature was slightly higher than the surroundings in the maintenance tubes at the rear of the warship, too!
"Is the intruder's target the engine compartment?
"The engine compartment is responsible for providing spiritual energy for the power rune arrays and the anti-gravity rune arrays of Tide Berserker. A lot of crystals are stored in the engine compartment. Considering the explosive-maniac's style, it is very possible that he is playing a diversion. On the surface, he seems to be sneaking into the cockpit for a decapitation operation, but in fact, he is sneaking into the engine compartment!
"He is a refiner. Chances are that he has prepared a piece of special explosive magical equipment that can detonate all the crystals in the engine compartment instantly.
"If he has occupied the engine compartment and set up the bomb, he will threaten me to threaten me. You are blackmailing me and asking me to die together with the crystal warship. That will be a total failure! "
"But …"
Two metal objects were moving at a high speed in the cockpit and the engine compartment.
"Which one is the real one?"
"What if the engine compartment is a smokescreen and his real target is the cockpit?"
Time was running out. Unless the assault team and the beast puppets were divided into two teams and acted separately, it would be impossible for them to take care of both the front and the rear.
But faced with an enemy such as Vulture Li Yao, Ning Feng was not sure that half of the assault team could intercept him.
After much consideration, Ning Feng made a risky decision.
He planned to transfer 70% of the assault team and the puppet beasts to the engine room at the stern of the ship, and the remaining 30% to defend the bridge.
This decision didn't calm him down at all. Instead, his heart kept sinking.
It was as if he was stepping on air. He fell off the cliff.
Vaguely, he felt that he had overlooked something.
Ning Feng shuddered and quickly replayed the surveillance footage captured by the Vicious Bee Armed Shuttle.
It was a video of the moment before Li Yao broke into the battleship.
Magnify, magnify, continuously magnify!
When the picture was magnified seventeen times, Ning Feng discovered that there were two giant metal balls on the waist of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which were full of power rune arrays and flame spurts.
In the files of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that had been inputted into the crystal processor in advance, These two things did not exist.
During the battle, he had not seen these two magic treasures play any role.
From an aerodynamic point of view, the outer shell of the Crystal Suit. These two metal balls should not have appeared at all.
What were they?
"Since the very beginning, the enemy has been luring the enemy away. Some kind of magical equipment that could emit heat and metal waves was hidden under the waterfall to distract the pursuers!
"The two round magical equipment must have the same function. They are his' clones'!
"Which means …
"The two metal objects that lead to the bridge and the engine room are … Both of them are fake! "
Ning Feng's hair was all standing up.
Although he had seen through the enemy's disguise, he did not feel relieved at all.
Because he hadn't figured out where Vulture Li Yao's destination was yet.
"On the crystal warship, other than the bridge and the engine room, there is nothing else. Is there any high-value target that can be destroyed by a crystal suit instantly? "
"There is only one chance. We can't act rashly. We have to make the final decision!"
"Make the final decision?"
"Make the final decision?"
"Heaven Splitters!"
Ning Feng would have jumped up if he hadn't been restrained by the capsule-shaped command chair.
The Heaven Splitters could deliver a critical strike as powerful as that of a Yuanying monster. Naturally, it would consume an astronomical amount of spiritual energy.
Below the Heaven Splitters, there was an enormous ammunition warehouse that was filled with super-compressed crystals.
The crystals were purely for destruction. They were even more violent and unstable than the crystals in the engine room.
They had to be soaked in peaceful stabilizing liquids, and they had to be taken out carefully.
Detonating the ammunition warehouse was a hundred times more convenient than detonating the engine room.
But the damage was not small at all.
The Heaven Splitters was located in the middle of the crystal warship. Once the ammunition warehouse was detonated, chances were that the entire crystal warship would be cut in half from the middle.
Up to this moment, the command center had been silent. They did not comment on or interfere with the drill.
But Ning Feng was very clear that countless pairs of eyes were gazing at Tide Berserker.
If the enemy snuck into the ammunition warehouse of the Heaven Splitters and installed the explosive magical equipment, the command center would certainly announce the suspension of the drill.
As for him, he would taste an unprecedented failure!
"Shut down the ventilation tubes from 394 to 413 for now!"
"Shut down the maintenance tubes from 224 to 278 for now!"
"Assault team, go to the Heaven Splitters now. Pay attention to all the ventilation tubes and maintenance tubes around the ammunition warehouse!"
"Electric Whip Teethed Vipers, search every tube mentioned above. Do not miss a single corner!"
"All Vicious Bee Armed Shuttles, recall the beast puppets on the ground and reinforce Tide Berserker!"
One order after another was sent out like flowing water.
Ning Feng did not forget to send out ten Electric Whip Teethed Vipers to track the two metal signals that they had discovered at the beginning.
Although he was certain that the signals were only the enemy's clones, he was not sure whether or not the enemy had stored anything in them.
At this moment, Ning Feng had considered Vulture Li Yao to be the most sordid and cunning opponent in his life. He felt that he was facing a ferocious demon.
Very soon, weird spiritual waves were transmitted from the maintenance tubes leading to the Heaven Splitters.
Somebody had blown up the gate inside the maintenance tubes by force, releasing tremendous light and heat.
The moment of the explosion, a crystal camera installed at a corner of the tubes captured the fire clearly. There was also a vague figure in the fire.
After analysis and comparison, the crystal processor confirmed that it was the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!
"I've finally caught you!"
At this moment, Ning Feng almost wanted to roar to vent his delight.
Although it was just a drill, he was more nervous than any battle he had ever participated in.
The enemy seemed to have realized that their plan had been seen through. They sped up the speed of breaking through the maintenance tubes.
However, the maintenance tubes were narrow, zigzagging, and branching, like a maze.
The enemy's progress was very slow.
The assault team and the beast puppets. They arrived at the Heaven Splitters ahead of the enemy.
All the Electric Whip Teethed Vipers dashed into the tubes.
News came from the tubes in the front and the rear of the warship, too.
The Electric Whip Teethed Vipers had captured two round magical equipment. They were the 'clones' that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been hanging on its waist at the beginning.
They were the ones who had detected the abnormal temperature and metal waves on the probe magical equipment.
However, the moment the Electric Whip Teethed Vipers approached them, the two 'clones' suddenly exploded. It released billowing black smoke and ignited a raging fire.
Inside their round stomachs. They were stuffed with smoke grenades and incendiary bombs.
Smoke and heat flowed into every corner of the warship through the ventilation tubes.
For a moment, the front and rear of the warship was filled with thick smoke and poisonous gas.
The outcome had been decided. Such a petty trick was not enough to reverse the situation.
Ning Feng ordered the firefighters to enter the tubes to extinguish the fire while he commanded the assault team to slowly close the encirclement.
Five minutes later, the first Electric Whip Teethed Viper discovered that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was hiding behind a messy cluster of spiritual energy tubes.
The battle ended more easily than he had imagined.
Dozens of Electric Whip Teethed Vipers swarmed forward. At the same time, they released high-voltage electric arcs and tied up the enemy.
In the narrow, rugged maintenance tubes two meters in diameter, the Crystal Suit became a kind of restraint. Although the enemy had extraordinary abilities, he could not even straighten his back. There was nothing he could do about the tiny Electric Whip Teethed Vipers.
Besides, hundreds of assault team members were eyeing the maintenance tubes with storm bolters in their hands.
With the slightest movement, the entire pipeline would be riddled with holes.
The fierce battle to break into the crystal warship had consumed all the strength of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. The aftereffects of taking three Taiyi Lightning Railguns head-on finally broke out.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit did not put up any resistance. It did not even move when it was tied up.
It was not until four assault team members tied up the enemy with electromagnetic barriers and Ning Feng saw the full picture of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit clearly through the crystal cameras of the Electric Whip Teethed Vipers that he took a long breath in relief and collapsed in the command cabin, exhausted.
The third Crystal Suit was finally captured.
Vulture Li Yao was indeed a formidable opponent.
He was told that he was only a sophomore? It was too inconceivable!
"Firefighters, put out the fire. Damage Control Team, count the losses. We have half an hour to rest. There is still the last Crystal Suit. Let's work harder and try to catch him before sunrise!"
Ning Feng did not realize that something was wrong until he heard the words. He raised his head and saw a ray of bloody sunlight shooting in through the window, which seemed to be igniting a dim flame on the floor.
It was sunrise.
Ning Feng smiled in self-mockery and continued.
