An eerie change of direction! The clown mech had easily escaped the range of the laser beams.
It was definitely eerie. The five of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief! How could it be?
How could it escape so easily? After all, the five of them were covering an area, and not just aiming at the clown mech. Logically, it should not have escaped so easily. However, it was happening right before their eyes. The clown mech had escaped with just a single change of direction.
It was completely illogical!
Qin Zuo was completely stunned! He thought he had sharp eyes, but he could only vaguely see the clown mech making a deceptive misdirection move before it changed direction. The move was too fast, and he could not see it clearly. However, he knew that the clown mech had succeeded, without a doubt. Such tactical training made him, a mech pilot instructor, feel ashamed.
However, the clown mech's next move made the five of them feel like they were submerged in icy water.
The colorful clown mech made everyone unable to laugh. It was another eerie change of direction. It was just a feint, and the five of them had to shift their positions, maintaining their encirclement on the clown mech.
However, the clown mech suddenly made a turn, and easily escaped the encirclement of the five of them, and headed towards the mech at the side instead. Qin Zuo, who had been watching the development of the situation, was amazed. Beautiful! He could not help but praise in his heart. That turn just now was too beautiful! This was a textbook standard Thomas' Spin. Be it the technique or the timing, it was impeccable.
Even Qin Zuo himself was not sure if he could do it so perfectly.
In Qin Zuo's eyes, the clown mech's series of movements were completely different in the eyes of the five of them.
It was eerie and unpredictable, as if it was a ghost. The clown mech, which was supposed to be funny and colorful, now looked terrifying to the five of them. A creepy clown was performing the same creepy dance among the five of them. It was definitely a chilling scene.
The puppet moved quickly, flying towards the mech furthest away from the five mechs like an angry arrow. How could Ye Chong not understand the importance of speed to a mech? So even though it was just a game, Ye Chong still equipped it with a powerful engine.
Ye Chong's expression was calm. This kind of battle was no longer able to excite him. Compared to the Black Horn Sanctuary, they were simply too weak. However, Ye Chong did not have the bad habit of being careless. Even though his opponent was obviously weaker than him, he remained calm. However, unlike the battle with Black Cove, this calmness contained a sense of ease.
Ye Chong's evasive maneuver was a combination of Irregular Wavy Leap and short distance Multiple Directional Changes. The opponent was a long range mech, and Ye Chong did not want to be hit by it, even though Puppets were not as fragile as they seemed.
The five pirates who were trying to lock on to Ye Chong were shocked. They realized that they could not lock on to the strange clown mech before them. They fired a few shots, only to miss. The five of them were puzzled. Their marksmanship was quite accurate, but why were they so unlucky today? They couldn't even hit their target.
Qin Zuo was even more shocked. He was a professor in the mech pilot department, and no one else knew better than him how powerful the clown mech's moves were.
Horrifying! Horrifying! Now, even he was looking at the clown mech with fear in his eyes! He finally understood why such a large Zika class starship would only send one mech down!
Because one mech was more than enough!
However, he would never have thought that Coxcomb would only have Ye Chong.
However, the clown mech's strange dance was not over yet.
Ye Chong watched as the opponent's mech grew larger and larger in his eyes. He was as calm as a block of ice.
Just as the two mechs were about to collide, Ye Chong's hands became ethereal like smoke. The astonishing hand speed did not impress Ye Chong. It had been a long time since his hand speed improved.
Just as the two mechs were about to crash into each other, the parrying spears in the clown mech's arms popped out like a venomous snake. A cold glint flashed in the air. The clown mech slid sideways, like a gust of wind, past the mech, with no intention of looking back.
Who was this guy? Qin Zuo was completely stunned, forgetting that he was in a battle. Fortunately, the pirates' companions were also stunned. There was a brief awkward silence among the group of pirates who had been fighting for a long time.
Ye Chong did not mind. Once he was in a battle, he would put his heart and soul into it, no matter how weak the opponent was.
Boom! The mech that was hit by Ye Chong had turned into a fireball. The dazzling light clearly illuminated the fear on everyone's faces.
It was another strange turn, and the parrying spears shot out like a venomous snake. The clown mech's petite body looked like an assassin in the dark, and the funny colorful spots were like the assassin's cold smile.
There was no suspense. The other four mechs could not fight back, and even escaping was a luxury. Qin Zuo even saw two mechs trying to escape, but they were all cut into pieces by the two black parrying spears. The two parrying spears looked dark and dull, and looked ordinary. However, they were made of the black gold alloy used to make electromagnetic cannons. Ye Chong thought that the shiny black was too dazzling, so he made them with a matte finish.
There were no fancy tricks, and all the attacks were fast and vicious, fatal in one hit, without any unnecessary entanglement.
Qin Zuo's face was covered in cold sweat. Han Ben's voice came through the comms channel, trembling, "Zuo, this guy is scary!" Even the usually fearless Han Ben was frightened.
However, Qin Zuo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. With this expert's appearance, their chances of survival were much higher. While they could not guess who was in this Zika starship labeled "Coxcomb", it was better than being in the hands of the pirates.
The clown mech moved quickly. The whole process of taking down the five mechs was clean, smooth and natural, as if it was a normal thing to do. Moreover, the clown mech was cruel in its attacks, sending shivers down the spines of the pirates. The mechs that were hit would either explode into a ball of fire, or break into pieces in an instant!
The two parrying spears were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper in everyone's eyes. Even Qin Zuo was confused. The mechs were sturdy, but why would the two parrying spears break apart the moment they touched them?
It was Ye Chong's familiarity with the mech's structure, and his precise attacks that resulted in such a terrifying result.
After taking down the five mechs, the clown mech did not hesitate, and pounced towards the pirates who were still in a stalemate. The clown mech changed directions unpredictably, and its trajectory was hard to follow. The clown mech now looked like a cold and eerie war machine to the pirates.
To Ye Chong's surprise, the remaining 10 mechs turned around and ran for their lives. It was as if there was a demon behind them.
In Qin Zuo's eyes, the clown mech looked coldly at the fleeing pirates, as if it was looking down at insects beneath its feet.
After the clown mech destroyed five of the pirate mechs, the remaining pirates scattered. The clown mech watched them leave coldly, and did not give chase. Fortunately, Qin Zuo and his crew knew their limits, and did not make any unreasonable requests, such as asking the clown mech to chase after them.
Then, naturally, the clown mech invited them to board the starship. Since they had nowhere else to go, they readily agreed. When they boarded the starship, they found that there was only one person on board. They finally saw the owner of the starship, the owner of the clown mech. It was a man with a cold expression.
Who was this man? Owning a large starship was not something anyone could do. Qin Zuo's mind raced.
The man coldly said, "Follow me." Then, he didn't even look at them and walked straight ahead. Qin Zuo and his crew could only follow. The observant Qin Zuo quickly noticed something different about the man. The man's steps were as precise as a ruler, and his upper body did not move at all. Qin Zuo had a friend who was a powerful Grandmaster of Combat. The way he walked was very similar to the man in front of him. Could it be that this guy was also skilled in combat?
When they passed by a room, Phal, who had accidentally peeked in, gasped, "Heavens, a magnetically controlled metal separator!" Phal's eyes were shining, as if he had seen a rare treasure. He rushed into the room excitedly, and pounced on a machine that Qin Zuo had never seen before. He looked here and there, and touched it. Qin Zuo could not help but feel a headache coming on. This Phal, this was someone else's territory, and if they made the owner unhappy, they would be in trouble. However, he knew that Phal and his crew were only obsessed with research, and were honest people, just a little ignorant of the ways of the world. Qin Zuo stole a glance at Ye Chong, and sighed in relief when he saw that Ye Chong was not displeased.
Qin Zuo did not have much interest in natural sciences, but he had been in the Middle Alliance Academy for a long time, and could tell that this was a laboratory. Besides, judging from Phal's shock, this laboratory must be quite advanced. Phal the old man might not look likeable, but Qin Zuo knew his importance. Phal was the undisputed authority in mineralogy and metallography.
The man before him was becoming more and more mysterious to Qin Zuo. To be able to own a large starship, it meant that he must have come from a good background, and was well off financially. Judging from the fact that he had single-handedly destroyed five pirate mechs, he was undoubtedly an exceptional mech pilot. Qin Zuo was certain that even the Alliance Academy, the cradle of mech pilots, would not have a single expert like him. Besides, he seemed to be a combat expert, but Qin Zuo could not be sure of that. He might even be well-versed in metallography and mineralogy. Facing Phal's reckless actions, he did not show any signs of emotion. This meant that he was highly cultured, or at least he could control his emotions effectively. What a scary person.
If these qualities were on an old man, Qin Zuo would only be filled with respect. However, all of this had happened to a young man in his twenties. That was something he could not understand. Could there really be such a terrifying genius in this world?
Ye Chong was not displeased. The old man was a little ugly, but from his actions just now, he could tell that he was someone who was deeply invested in his research. Ye Chong did not dislike people like this, in fact he admired them. Back at Aurora, those old grandpas were all such people. Ye Chong stopped, waiting for Phal.
Phal was already in a state of oblivion, his eyes twinkling as he walked around the magnetic separator.
Qin Zuo hurriedly gave Han Ben a look, and Han Ben signaled that he understood. He walked in front of Paar and woke him up.
Phal came back to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him. His face flushed red, and he walked back to the group awkwardly. Ye Chong saw this and turned to walk forward. The group followed behind him, but Phal kept turning back, clearly reluctant to leave the magnetic separator.
Meng Fei 'er, who had just passed by the other room, was no less shocked than Phal. The automatic cultivation apparatus, the ionostatic greenhouse, the double fermentation rotary machine … She almost fainted. She even suspected that she was standing in front of the Central Alchemy Research Institute. Other than the Central Alchemy Research Institute, she could not think of any other organization with such luxurious equipment.
However, Meng Fei 'er was much more composed than Phal. She tried her best to remain calm. However, her shocked expression still attracted Qin Zuo's attention. Qin Zuo calmly slowed down his pace and gradually fell behind Meng Fei 'er, walking side by side with her. Meng Fei 'er looked up at Ye Chong, who was walking at the front, and said in a low voice, "He's probably an alchemist." Qin Zuo was the leader of the group, and was very experienced. Everyone trusted him.
Qin Zuo was horrified. Ye Chong's frail figure looked unfathomable in his eyes, so mysterious that it was hard to fathom him.
