Ye Chong said, "Appilok, you take command." Celest sprinted away from the group of mechs. Appilok was not strong enough to lead the assault team, but Ye Chong still brought him along. A commander also needed to be trained in actual combat. An experienced commander would be more useful than a mech pilot. Especially when the number of mechs reached a certain number.
Ye Chong did not have time to think about this. Celest charged towards the golden-striped black dragons that were flying towards him.
Celest charged with determination, like a dagger stabbing towards the golden-striped black dragons.
The blatant provocation enraged the golden-striped black-winged dragons. A group of 20 golden-striped black-winged dragons flapped their wings and their bodies abruptly rose into the air. Next, they retracted their wings and charged down at high speed toward Shen.
Just when everyone thought that Celest was going to dive into the group of golden-striped black dragons, Celest suddenly changed direction nimbly. It drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew past the group of golden-striped black dragons. The 20 golden-striped black dragons that were charging towards Ye Chong missed their target. They croaked loudly, flapped their wings again, and rose into the air again.
Ye Chong had thoroughly angered the golden-striped black dragons. The 20 or so golden-striped black dragons broke away from their formation and chased after Celest.
Ye Chong's seemingly normal change in direction left the students in awe. No matter who it was, there was only one word that could be used to describe Shen's charge: determination! All the students had the impression that Ye Chong would charge into the group of golden-striped black dragons.
Who would have thought that it was all a facade? That nimble and precise change in direction, both in time and distance, was done perfectly. Not only did it cause the golden-striped black dragons to miss, but it also brushed past the golden-striped black dragons. It was hard to imagine that in such a short period of time, Master could actually calculate everything to such an accurate degree.
The students who came with Ye Chong this time were the cream of the crop among the five thousand people, and were naturally a little proud of themselves. Now that they saw Ye Chong's performance, they finally understood what it meant to be a real expert, and the pride in their hearts vanished without a trace.
Appilok's reaction was the fastest. Seeing the golden-striped black dragons charging at them, his expression changed slightly. He blurted out, "Target direction, everyone, cover the area with firepower. Those who score more than 90 points in sniping, shoot at will. "Ye Chong's change of direction also gave them more space to shoot. They did not have to worry about friendly fire.
Only then did the students react, and they hurriedly executed the order.
Ye Chong did not have time to worry about these students. He had to face more than 20 dragons, or more accurately, 26 golden-striped black dragons. These creatures were much weaker than the red-tailed beasts, but Ye Chong had to be careful when there were 26 of them. A moment of carelessness could cause you to lose your life in the hands of an opponent that you didn't think was strong.
Using Celest's speed, Ye Chong quickly put some distance between himself and the golden-striped black dragons. The golden-striped black dragons did not want to give up so easily. They flapped their wings furiously, hoping to catch up to Celest.
The golden-striped black dragons' efforts seemed to be paying off. The distance between them was closing quickly. The golden-striped black dragons flapped their wings furiously. Their red eyes showed their thirst for blood.
It had been a long time since Ye Chong had piloted a mech into battle. Only in battle would he remember that he was a mech pilot. Suddenly, he remembered his old dream of owning a good mech and becoming a qualified mech pilot. This thought flashed through his mind. His eyes fell on the image on the holographic screen. At this moment, his chest was filled with pride.
Without hesitation, his hands moved across the controls. Ye Chong did not even know how fast his hands were now. If the students could see this, those who were proud of their hand speed would probably be so ashamed that they would bang their heads against the wall.
Turn and sprint! From the moment Celest decelerated to the moment it sped up, only 0.9 seconds had passed.
Ye Chong's vision blurred. The sprint had taken a toll on his body, pushing him to his limits. He did not panic. This was not the first time something like this had happened. All he had to do was wait for his vision to clear up. It was a short time, so it was important to be prepared.
Silently counting the time in his heart, the image on the holographic screen suddenly became extremely clear. He could see the panic of the golden-striped black dragons on the holographic screen.
Ye Chong's gaze sharpened. His hands quickly typed in commands on the control panel. His slender fingers moved rhythmically as the keys clicked like rain.
Shen's sudden turn and charge had caught the golden-striped black-winged dragons off guard. Thus, they panicked. However, as they had spent all their energy on increasing their speed, controlling their normally light flight had become a strenuous task.
Celest's turn and sprint was determined, filled with an indomitable spirit. In that short time, the long spear from the weapon box on its back was already in Celest's hands. Shen's large mechanical palms deftly assembled the folded spear. It held the spear with both hands and pointed it forward.
By then, Celest had already reached the group of golden-striped black dragons.
Celest charged straight into the group of golden-striped black dragons, unable to react in time.
The gap between the golden-striped black dragons was captured by Ye Chong in that instant. The position, the angle, the movement … His hands reacted instinctively.
Cold light flashed!
In that short time, Celest's ancient black spear had already pierced through the throats of seven golden-striped black dragons. Behind him, a rain of blood rained down, speckled by speckles. This was the most optimal route of attack.
Ye Chong's control of strength, timing, and mech piloting were now more mature than ever. Compared to before, his current state of mind was still as calm as before, but it was much more stable.
His attacks would not have been able to deal so much damage in the past. Unknowingly, his abilities had matured.
Celest pierced through the group of golden-striped black dragons, but Ye Chong was not done yet.
As Ye Chong pierced through the group of golden-striped black dragons, he released 19 self-lock-on shurikens.
The 19 self-lock-on shurikens slithered through the darkness like 19 thin snakes.
An ear-piercing shriek rang out. The self-lock-on shurikens were fast, and screeched as they cut through the air. The 19 self-lock-on shurikens were released at the same time. The shriek was enough to make every cell in one's body tremble.
This was the real deal. Caught off guard, 16 golden-striped black dragons were pierced through.
Only three golden-striped black pterosaurs were lucky enough to avoid the spinning shuttle.
In an extremely short period of time, the higher the density of the attack, the greater the damage to the enemy. This series of attacks happened in the blink of an eye as Celest pierced through the group of golden-striped black dragons.
Rich attack methods, precise and incisive strikes, excellent grasp of timing, this attack was impeccable.
The remaining three golden-striped black dragons panicked. They flapped their wings and tried to escape.
Ye Chong was not going to let them escape. Celest drew an arc in the air and intercepted one of the golden-striped black dragons. The terrified golden-striped black dragon seemed to have lost its strength and ferocity, and was easily killed by Celest.
The other two golden-striped black dragons did not manage to escape either. The swarm of shurikens turned them into honeycombs. So far, all 26 golden-striped black dragons had died by Ye Chong's hands.
Ye Chong was satisfied with the battle. He could feel his own growth, but he was more impressed by Celest's strength! Celest's performance was outstanding, or else the battle would not have been so easy. Its short distance sprinting ability and agility were the best of all the mechs he had ever piloted. In this battle, Celest's superb performance was displayed to the fullest.
Ye Chong returned his attention to his students.
After the initial panic, the students had regained their footing. More than 300 mechs against 36 golden-striped black dragons, and they were still flustered. These rookies were indeed weak. And these were just the golden-striped black dragons. What if they were red-tailed beasts? Ye Chong was not sure if any of the students would be able to escape.
However, Ye Chong did not feel discouraged. He knew that rookies tended to perform poorly. Once they had familiarized themselves with combat, the combat power that they had accumulated through their daily training would be able to be put to good use. This process did not take long.
They only needed to go through 10, no, maybe 7 or 8 real battles before they would have a certain level of combat strength. In a large team like this, individual combat strength was not the most important factor. What was more important was the cooperation between the members. What was more important was the commander's ability to judge the situation and the rhythm of the attacks, and the commander's accurate judgment of the situation.
A team of experienced mech pilots would always be able to gain the upper hand in a small area, and this advantage would spread to a large area. They would also be able to carry out the commander's orders and change the tide of the battle.
Mech pilots who had been through real battles were qualified to be soldiers. In this sense, the mech pilots in Ye Chong's previous fleet were qualified to be called soldiers, or even elites. They had gone through one intense battle after another, and the one where they passed through the Shattered Stars of Death was even more intense. Intense battles like this were very helpful to the growth of mech pilots. They would be mentally strong and resilient.
Compared to this batch of students, the mech pilots in that fleet were much stronger. Ye Chong had no choice but to start from scratch. However, he did not give up. If he could lead a team like that, he could also lead a better team. Besides, Darkniss was a dangerous place. There was no need to worry about not having a place to fight. Ye Chong only had to worry about how to let them experience the cruelty of battle without causing too many casualties.
In the comms channel, the students discussed the battle excitedly. It was their first battle, even though Ye Chong did not think it was a battle at all. 314 versus 36. Was that even a battle? Ye Chong did not think much of it. After all, the mech pilots in the past had fought five against three strong creatures like the red-tailed beasts in their first battle. These students were nothing compared to the students in the past.
"There's no hurry," Ye Chong thought to himself. He looked deeper into Darkniss.
Rui Bing and Sang Kan moved carefully through the thin purple mist. No one knew what kind of monsters they would encounter in this unfamiliar place. Sang Kan carried Aried in his hand. He moved quickly. He had only learned to pilot a Collision mech a few years ago. Before this, the Sang Tribe had been hunting for a living.
He moved more stealthily than Rui Bing, and more professional.
Rui Bing's expression was like an unchanging glacier. It was as if the unfamiliar environment did not affect her at all. Her movements were light and agile, like the gliding of a bird. Her snow-white training garb fluttered in the wind like a swan dancing in the air. Her beautiful face was filled with determination.
Both of them had incredible stamina. They ran for a day and a night.
The scenery began to change. The ground began to turn green, and the air became humid. The light green was stone moss. Along the way, Sang Kan found a water source. Identifying drinkable water was a necessary skill for survival in the wild. Sang Kan was very familiar with it. He also used the materials he had on hand to make a water sack.
Rui Bing was not surprised by Sang Kan's performance. The Sang Tribe was similar to Ye Chong in some ways. What surprised her was Aried. He had been deep in thought for a day and a night, without drinking a drop of water. Rui Bing could not help but admire him. Perhaps Aried's determination and passion were the main reason why he was able to achieve so much.
Rui Bing always carried the food pellets that Ye Chong had given her. She had always been reluctant to eat them, but now they would be able to save everyone's lives.
With the food pellets, the two of them did not have to worry about food. They moved even faster. They knew that if they did not find something to eat soon, they would starve to death. The food pellets would eventually run out. However, they had not found anything alive so far.
"What's this?" On the third day, they finally found something.
It was a piece of dead skin about two fingers wide. It looked like the shed skin of some tubular creature. Sang Kan had found it. This discovery roused the spirits of the two of them.
Rui Bing studied the dead skin. It was thin, light purple, translucent, wrinkled, and uneven.
Sang Kan carefully pulled the dead skin, and with a gentle tug, it was indeed hollow in the middle.
The two of them exchanged a look. Rui Bing shook her head, indicating that she did not know what it was. Sang Kan shook his head as well. Despite his rich hunting experience, he did not know either.
The two of them continued forward, but at a slower pace. But at least there was a new discovery, which was good news for them. There was nothing worse than an endless stretch of land.
The thin purple mist began to thicken. This attracted the attention of the two of them.
As they moved forward, more and more dead skin appeared on the ground. Some were more than a meter wide and seven to eight meters long. The dead skin was scattered all over the ground. The humidity in the air increased, but the dead skin was strangely dehydrated.
Rui Bing and Sang Kan finally found something.
The purple flesh was as thick as an arm. One end rested on the ground, the other end stretched into the air. There was no end in sight. The part near the two of them was the thinnest, and the part that stretched into the sky was thickest.
"Red-tailed beasts!" Rui Bing and Sang Kan exclaimed. Their eyes narrowed, and their killing intent surged. Rui Bing's killing intent was justified. Red-tailed beasts were the common enemy of humanity. The number of humans that had died to them was astronomical.
After the war on Yi Ju, a large amount of flesh was sent to Yi Ju for research. Both Rui Bing and Sang Kan recognized it.
However, this flesh was different from the plump and watery ones they had seen before. This flesh was dry and dehydrated. It looked like it could fall off at any time. Only then did Rui Bing and Sang Kan understand where the dead skin on the ground came from.
Research on flesh had always been a priority on Yi Ju. They hoped to understand these creatures better and defeat them. The results of their research showed that the flesh was extremely resilient. As long as its core was not dead, it would not wilt and dehydrate like this. Sang Pu and the others called these powerful reproductive tissues the flesh nest.
Was there something wrong with the flesh nest?
Just then, Sang Kan's ears twitched. His expression changed. "Something is coming this way!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW. QIDIAN. COM. Support the author! Support the original reading!)
