Based on the current situation, the battle would most likely end in a draw. The red-tailed beast might be stronger, but with Shang and Ye Luo working together, both sides were on the same starting line. The only thing that puzzled Ye Chong was Shang. The mech had been shooting motionlessly throughout the battle. It did not move at all.
Shang might be a little lazy, but he was very serious about the battle. Besides, why would he choose to shoot motionlessly in such a tense situation? Mobile warfare was much more difficult than static shooting, but it was more powerful in actual combat and was more widely used. Ye Chong knew that mobile combat was one of Mu and Shang's strengths.
Why did Shang keep shooting motionlessly?
Ye Chong suddenly remembered what Ye Luo had said about his wife and child. Could they be inside Shang? If that was the case, it would explain why Shang only shot motionlessly. A child would not be able to handle the pressure. The holographic images could only convey limited information. Ye Chong would have to guess the details himself.
The battle fell into a stalemate. Ye Luo and Shang seemed to be working well together. The red-tailed beast tried to escape from the Ye Family mech several times, but to no avail. Shang's long range suppression greatly limited its range of movement.
However, it would be difficult for Shang and Ye Chong to win. They could not come up with a better plan. Ye Luo could distract the red-tailed beast, but it would be difficult to hurt it.
"Luo, there's someone on that trash planet! I'll ask him to take care of the baby, and we'll deal with this monster together, "a determined female voice came from the comms. Trash planet. The term made Ye Chong's eyebrows twitch. His gaze fell on the planet in the background for the first time, and when he saw it, his heart skipped a beat. It was too familiar!
Wasn't this the trash planet he had lived on for more than a decade? Could it be …
Ye Chong suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
"Alright, is 20 minutes enough?" Ye Luo replied quickly. The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Once the monster became familiar with their attack rhythm, they would be forced into a passive position. Shang, with the baby on his back, would not be able to dodge. It was too dangerous.
"Be careful." The woman's voice was filled with deep concern, but she didn't drag her feet. Instead, she flew straight toward a nearby planet.
Yeh Luo laughed heartily. "Don't worry, wifey. If we can't beat it, we'll play with it!"
As soon as Shang left, the pressure on Yeh Luo increased. From the image on the holographic screen, it could be seen that he was in a sorry state. The red-tailed beasts were agile and quick to react. No one could react in time. This was the first time Yeh Luo had encountered such a monster and he was flustered.
However, even though the situation was precarious, the strength of the Ye Clan's number one expert was still fully displayed in this difficult situation. Every time he was almost hit by the red-tailed beasts' arrows, he managed to dodge them.
The eight-fingered arrowhead tail was much stronger than the six-fingered arrowhead tail. The arrowhead tail was completely black. The flexibility, speed, and strength of the arrowhead's tail were not something that the six fingers could compare to. Ye Chong felt a chill run down his spine. He knew very well that if he were to encounter this eight-fingered creature now, it would not bode well for him.
The red-tailed beast seemed to be able to predict his next move. This characteristic of a mentalist made its attacks very dangerous, and made Yeh Luo suffer. The eight-fingered red-tailed beast was physically stronger than a Jie expert. Its strength and speed were far superior, and with its arrowhead tail as a weapon, it was a formidable foe. From the looks of it, the red-tailed beast also had a strong psychic ability similar to that of an archer's parapsychic sense. This made the red-tailed beast even more dangerous.
The battle continued to be one-sided. Yeh Luo had already been grazed by the red-tailed beast a few times, but he reacted quickly enough to only receive a few minor wounds.
Suddenly, the red-tailed beast seemed to have noticed something, and began to attack fiercely.
This was the turning point of the battle.
Yeh Luo's situation became even more dangerous. In just a few moments, he was already injured. By now, it had only been five minutes since Shang left.
The battle was getting more intense. Ye Chong could hear Yeh Luo's angry roars from time to time. A top mech pilot would retaliate fiercely after being forced into a corner. The red-tailed beast began to suffer wounds as well. This seemed to make it wary. Its movements began to slow down a little.
This gave Yeh Luo a chance to catch his breath. Ye Chong could hear Yeh Luo panting heavily in the holographic projection. However, there were still 10 minutes left until Shang's return!
10 minutes. 10 hellish minutes.
The red-tailed beast did not give Yeh Luo much time to catch his breath. It closed in again. The battle seemed to have resumed its previous rhythm. Yeh Luo was still at a disadvantage.
The red-tailed beast's figure flashed on the holographic screen. Just as it was about to pass Yeh Luo, it suddenly turned and shot its arrowhead tail towards Yeh Luo like a snake.
Crack! The arrowhead tail destroyed one of the auxiliary engines.
It was as if a piece of a dam had suddenly collapsed, causing a series of chain reactions. Yeh Luo reacted quickly, but he could not stop himself from being pushed further into a disadvantageous position.
Ye Chong shook his head. Even in this situation, he could not turn the situation around. His situation was getting more and more dangerous. He could lose his life at any moment.
"Luo!" The woman from earlier screamed in the comms channel. Yeh Luo had almost completely lost control of the battle. It was impossible for him to even protect himself.
A laser beam shot towards the red-tailed beast, trying to force it away. The red-tailed beast was surprisingly smart. It knew that if it missed this opportunity, it would not end well if the two of them worked together.
It took the attack head-on and charged towards Yeh Luo.
The arrowhead tail pierced right through Yeh Luo's pilot cabin! The holographic projection before him shook violently. The red-tailed beast's arrowhead tail grazed the left side of Yeh Luo's abdomen. Yeh Luo's body was stuck on the arrowhead. Blood splattered everywhere!
"No!" The woman screamed at the top of her lungs. Countless laser beams shot out from the mech.
This was the first time Ye Chong saw Shang in its full form, and the blue and white energy gun in its hand. Shang's holographic projection flashed by and returned to the pilot cabin.
Yeh Luo grunted, but his hands flew across the control panel.
Just as the red-tailed beast was about to pull out its arrowhead tail, the mech's two mechanical arms suddenly wrapped around the red-tailed beast's arrowhead tail.
The red-tailed beast froze. All the laser beams from Shang had landed on its body. The red-tailed beast's back was full of holes, like a rock thrown into a muddy puddle.
The red-tailed beast looked pained. Yeh Luo did not wait for it to react. The mech's mechanical arms exerted force, and the mech slammed into the red-tailed beast. The two sides were already close to each other. The red-tailed beast did not expect its opponent to still be able to fight back.
The mech bent its knees and hit the red-tailed beast's abdomen. The Ye Family mechs were built like porcupines. Joints like the knees and elbows were always equipped with barbs.
Pfft! Yeh Luo could not hold on any longer. His mouth was full of blood, splattering all over the pilot cabin. His final counterattack was completely relying on his last breath.
Bang! The red-tailed beast's face contorted into a ball. As if it had gone mad, it twisted its body wildly. The mech could no longer hold on to the red-tailed beast's arrowhead tail, and was flung away.
Ye Chong could see clearly on the holographic screen that the red-tailed beast had two bloody holes in its abdomen.
"No!" The voice was filled with despair. Ye Chong could hear the blood dripping.
Rui Bing's eyes reddened. She moved closer to Ye Chong instinctively. Ye Chong's heart tightened.
On the holographic screen, the red-tailed beast pounced towards Shang in a frenzy. On the holographic screen, their figures grew smaller and smaller. Ye Chong noticed that Yeh Luo's mech was flying towards the spatial window. The red-tailed beast must have come out from there.
Yeh Luo was no longer breathing. His last attack had drained him.
His vision darkened, then brightened. There was a loud crash, and the holographic screen shook. Ye Chong knew that the mech had lost control and crashed to the ground.
The image quickly quieted down. Now, Ye Chong could easily compare the image on the holographic screen with what was happening outside. The mech must have arrived at its current location.
The scene suddenly became quiet. There was no change.
Ye Chong sped up the video. On the third day, the wounded red-tailed beast emerged from the spatial window. It looked worse than before, almost like a sieve. One of its arms hung limply, with only a piece of flesh holding it together.
This was probably the first time Shang had been injured. Ye Chong knew that the woman must be dead. When he found Shang, it was still in its dimension keystone state, and did not have an owner. Only when the mech pilot died would the mech revert to the dimension keystone and return to a blank state.
However, the eight-fingered red-tailed beast was also heavily injured. Its body was a bloody mess.
The red-tailed beast looked at Yeh Luo's mech with greed in its eyes. However, it soon looked around the mech, and hesitated.
