The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was still very solid despite the loss of power. Every joint of the plate armor was tightly sealed. The assault team tried several times, but they failed to open it by force.
Thankfully, after scanning with the life detection magical equipment, they discovered that the Exo inside was breathing and heartbeat steadily, except that he had passed out.
It was not hard to imagine that the series of high-intensity battles had drained not only the spiritual energy of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit but also the Exo's mental strength and physical strength.
It was like a tightened bowstring that had been stretched beyond its limits and finally snapped.
Faced with such an opponent who had fought to the last moment, Ning Feng sighed and admired him, too.
Now that the Exo's physical condition was relatively stable, Ning Feng asked the assault team to carry him to the maintenance workshop so that they could dismantle the Crystal Suit with the delicate tools in the workshop and get him out slowly.
In the meantime, the electromagnetic barriers would not be loosened. Ning Feng would not be careless about such details.
Right then —
"Chi!"
An ear-splitting noise suddenly burst out of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Then, a cluster of black fog as thick and thick as ink swept across the cabin like a tornado and swallowed more than half of the assault team.
The pathway in the cabin was very narrow. The assault team had nowhere to run at all. Even though they were at the periphery, they could only watch the black fog crash down like an overwhelming tide.
However, the weird black fog did not seem to have any other abnormalities except that it dyed people black. Even the smell was not bad.
A moment later, the hundred 'black people' blinked their eyes in confusion and looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on.
The scene was transmitted to Ning Feng's brain through the crystal cameras embedded in the helmets of the soldiers.
However, after they were contaminated by the black fog, all the crystal cameras were disabled one after another. The pictures in Ning Feng's brain died out one after another.
Almost at the same time, more shocking news came from the fire department.
A firefighter had been knocked out, stripped of his suit, and hidden in a tool shed for tube maintenance!
Alarms were ringing deep inside Ning Feng's brain. He focused his attention on the ventilation tube above his head.
Vulture Li Yao had placed a 'clone bait' in the ventilation tube at the beginning. It exploded when it approached the top of the bridge, releasing a lot of fire and smoke.
Therefore, when a few firefighters entered the ventilation duct to extinguish the fire three minutes ago, Ning Feng did not take it to heart.
Until now, when he combined all the information and did a crazy calculation and analysis, he was shocked to discover that …
Boom!
The ventilation duct above the bridge was blasted open by a huge fireball.
One was wearing a silver-white fireproof suit and a fully enclosed helmet. The person whose face was covered by the crimson crystal glass jumped down and appeared at the center of the bridge like a demon!
Before his feet touched the ground, dozens of Grenades flew out of his hands and rolled in every direction of the bridge.
The bridge was the brain of a crystal warship. Almost all the senior officers and warship operators were gathered in the bridge.
Among them. Naturally, there were also many cultivators.
However, most of them were admin-type cultivators, and only a few were creation-type and research-type.
A combat-type cultivator in charge of guarding and guarding. There were also a few.
However, in the face of the dozens of Palm Grenades rolling around on the ground, all they could do was stare with bulging eyes. There was nothing they could do.
These Thunder Palms did not explode.
But the senior officers of Tide Berserker were greatly shocked.
"Hiss!"
The fireproof suit was torn into pieces like thousands of glittering butterflies. They were dancing in the storm of fear.
Li Yao was wearing a tactical vest, on which dozens of Palm Grenades were hanging. He was holding a vibration saber in his left hand, a burning axe in his right hand, and a storm bolter on his back. He appeared in front of Ning Feng as if he were possessed by a demon.
His piercing gaze swept across the surroundings before returning to Ning Feng's body.
Li Yao smiled, baring his sharp teeth, and said,
He said, "If the Palm Grenades did explode just now, more than half of the commanders and warship operators would have been killed or wounded. The bridge would be in a mess, and the control platform would be in a mess. Do you want to continue?"
Ning Feng gritted his teeth.
The red liquid was discharged quickly. The capsule-shaped command module was opened slowly. He stood straight and stared at Li Yao with his bloodshot eyes. He said coldly,
"I thought that this was a drill to test the performance of the Crystal Suit."
"It was indeed."
Li Yao said, "The fact that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was able to blow up the shell of the crystal warship against the barrage of twelve Taiyi Lightning Railguns and so many Vicious Bee Armed Shuttles is enough evidence to show its toughness.
"However, just a moment ago, it played an even more crucial role."
"If you've read the files, you should know that I've installed a set of powerful self-detonation units around the crystal reactor of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
"In the past half month, I've made a series of improvements to make the explosion more powerful. Not only can it be detonated remotely, but it can also be detonated at a fixed time.
"After I knocked out a soldier and stuffed him into the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, I set it to detonate five minutes later.
"Of course, it was just a drill. I didn't use real bombs. Therefore, your assault team was only blackened by the smoke.
"If it were a real battle, I believe that your assault team would've been wiped out.
"At the very least, the elites of the assault team, the battle-type Cultivators, should've suffered heavy casualties.
"My guess is that you must've been very cautious about me and asked the experts with the highest combat ability to surround the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, right?
"If you don't believe me, after the drill is over, you can study the self-detonation unit that I refined together with everybody in the command center. Let's see how powerful it is and whether or not it is enough to kill the hundreds of people next to it in the narrow cabin."
Ning Feng was speechless for a long time. Then he struggled to open his mouth.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "So, your target has been the bridge since the very beginning?
"The two clones you released were the first bait. You were also responsible for igniting the fire so that the firefighting team would be attracted. As long as you put on the glittering fireproof suit, you wouldn't raise any suspicion even if you swaggered forward in the ventilation tube.
"As for the Heaven Splitter, it was the second bait. This time, you used the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit itself as the bait and wiped out the entire assault team by the way.
"When everybody's attention was focused on the Heaven Splitter and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was indeed captured, you crawled through the ventilation tube to the bridge openly!
"But there's one thing that I don't understand.
"How could you be sure that the bridge was not guarded? What if I had deployed dozens of Electric Whip Teethed Snakes and dozens of assault team members here? What would you have done?
"It was unlikely that you would have done that. After all, the arsenal below the Heaven Splitter was too important. There would've been dire consequences if I'd occupied it. Therefore, you would've concentrated most of your troops there."
Li Yao said, "Even if the bridge was heavily guarded, it wouldn't have mattered.
"Most of the battle-type Cultivators on the warship had been killed by the self-detonation of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. How many people could have been on the bridge?
"Even if you had been surrounded and I couldn't kill you, I could've at least released all the grenades in my hands to create chaos and blow up a lot of officers and operators of the warship. The control system would've been sabotaged, which would've caused a lot of trouble for the crystal warship.
"Then, I would've taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Even without the Crystal Suit, I was still a high-level Refinement Stage Cultivator who was good at fighting. I didn't think that dozens of ordinary soldiers would've been enough to stop me in the chaos.
"Then, I would've snuck to the escape capsule and launched an emergency escape shuttle to create the illusion that I had escaped from the warship.
"Then, I would've snuck into the med bay.
"When I drove the Vicious Bee Armed Shuttle to Tide Berserker, I saw that you absorbed two Crystal Suit into the warship with the anti-gravity mystic rays. One of the Crystal Suits was not seriously damaged. You must've captured it alive.
"I would've searched for the user of the Crystal Suit in the med bay and rescued him.
"Then, there would've been two troublemakers wreaking havoc inside the warship.
"If we're lucky, we might even find his Crystal Suit that was captured. I believe that you wouldn't have been too cautious about the Crystal Suit in such a chaotic situation.
"Then, I would've gone back to the warship.
"Not the bridge, but the cannon of the Heaven Splitters.
"As long as I occupy the ammunition warehouse of the Heaven Splitters, I will have the entire crystal warship under my control.
"Of course, the plan can be adjusted at any time.
"The bridge, the ammunition warehouse of the Heaven Splitters, the engine compartment at the rear of the warship, and even the anti-gravity rune array system are all my targets.
"If the worst comes to worst, I could've sabotaged the anti-gravity system and let the crystal warship crash to the ground. Then, I would've started my escape. Without the firepower of the crystal warship in the sky, I don't think that ordinary soldiers with beast puppets would've had the courage to hunt down a high-level Refinement Stage Cultivator in a forest.
"In short, what I'm most worried about is your commando team."
"Therefore, my first target is not the bridge, the Sky Splitter, or the engine compartment, but I have to figure out a way to kill the assault team."
"As long as the assault team is taken down, I will have the upper hand in the battle. Fight or run, I won't have much of a choice. The plans I mentioned just now are definitely not whimsical. The odds of success are at least thirty to fifty percent.
"Therefore, the drill is over now. Do you agree?"
Ning Feng was silent.
All the officers and warship operators on the bridge were silent.
The command center of the Fifth Fleet was also in an indescribable silence.
Ning Feng seemed to have thought of something. He opened his mouth, only to be overturned by himself. He sighed and struggled to speak, like a sack that had been emptied of rice.
