The galloping mechanical dragon suddenly curled into the shape of a bow and shot out like a sharp arrow.
The mechanical creatures following them reacted half a beat slower. Naturally, what greeted them was the Lava Giant's storm-like attacks. Magma shot out one after another. Once the mechanical shells were hit by the magma, there would be a series of "sizzling" sounds.
"Evil Eye, do it," Li Xiang whispered to Bai Mumu when he saw the opportunity.
"Mhm." Bai Mumu also saw this moment. When the Mechanical Colossal Dragon arrived in front of the Lava Giant, its huge eyes rolled, and countless tentacles waved up and down. A faint purple light shot out from the center of the eyeball, and everyone suddenly felt their minds go blank. When they looked again, the Mechanical Colossal Dragon was no longer there.
The Evil Eye's attack power and defense were low. However, when it came to mental pollution and interference, it was top-notch. It could even easily affect the various nerves of living creatures. Even if you were a player, you would have a brain with neurons in it, right? You would be affected by it.
Furthermore, the Lava Giant was a mechanical creature. The mechanical parts and systems inside would definitely be affected to a certain extent.
While everyone was in a daze, the Queen of Pain cast a shadow barrier, enveloping the three of them. The other node of the barrier was behind the Lava Giant.
This set of tactics seemed simple, but in reality, it was a test of the tacit understanding between the three of them and the three mechanical creatures. If any part of the plan went wrong, they would have to face the Lava Giant's close-range attacks.
At that time, even the Mechanical Dragon, with its thick skin, would not be able to withstand more than a few hits.
Realizing that there were fish that had escaped the net, the Lava Giant kept roaring. However, its body was huge, and its movements were not as agile as the Mechanical Dragon's. If it turned around, the Evil Eye floating in mid-air would be the first to break through the gate.
After roaring for a while, a shocking scene appeared.
The lava giant shattered into pieces and then turned into countless smaller lava giants, charging toward the various mechanical creatures that were attempting to clear the stage.
"Sure enough, it has a splitting skill." Li Xiang smiled. This was the information Chu Bai had obtained. In a situation where things did not work out, the Lava Giant would split into countless smaller versions of itself to prevent other mechanical creatures from passing through.
Once it shrunk, it would not be so threatening.
"Everyone, break through." Li Xiang gave the final order. If the Lava Giant chose to give up on intercepting the other mechanical creatures and wanted to chase after them, they would use another plan. However, according to Chu Bai, as long as they forced it to split up, it would be better for the three of them to break through separately.
If they stayed together, they would attract a large number of small lava giants to stop them.
The Evil Eye was at the very front. Without the threat of the large Lava Giants, its mental interference was enough to open up a path to the door. After it entered the safe zone first, the small Lava Giants that were unwilling to give up could only roar and chase after the other mechanical creatures.
They had to hurry and enter as the first batch. Otherwise, the fewer targets there were, the more Lava Giants they would have to face. Li Xiang immediately made a decision. After many competitors saw that the Lava Giants were forced to transform, they all began to control their own mechanical creatures to take advantage of the situation. In the blink of an eye, a few more successfully broke through.
The more people that passed, the more obstacles there would be.
The Queen of Pain moved like a ghost. What was more terrifying was that she had the ability to absorb life force. She could suck the small Lava Giants that tried to stop her into small flames and then devour them.
After the resonance degree reached 100%, the mechanical creatures could rely on the competitor's control to unleash 100% of their strength. A Grade S mechanical creature at full power was no weaker than a normal Magician in actual combat. In this kind of situation, it was practically a killing machine.
The Queen of Pain opened up a path and successfully entered the safe zone.
When she walked into the purple circle, Li Xiang suddenly felt that the mental connection between the two of them was broken. He could no longer sense her presence.
Beside him, Chu Bai had also successfully entered the safe zone. There were only ten minutes left on the bright red countdown on the giant screen. The competitors were even more frenzied. Some even tried to break through at the expense of their mechanical creatures. Unfortunately, the further they went, the greater the obstruction from the Lava Giants. If they did not seize the opportunity in the beginning, they could only struggle in the end.
When the last second ended, the Lava Giants turned back into their gigantic forms. They swept away the last mechanical creatures that were still trying to break through, then suddenly jumped back into the cave and dove headfirst into the endless lava.
The broadcast switched to the faces of the contestants who had just passed through the gate. They were the lucky ones who had successfully entered the Star Sea Tour. Wei Linlin was filled with emotion as she looked at the screen on the 10th floor. Li Xiang had really done it! He had actually obtained a ticket to the Star Sea Tour on his first attempt at the Sky Arena!
Li Xiang did not feel too much about it. After obtaining the ticket, he started thinking about the Winged Chariot blueprint and the problem of materializing the magic circuit in his brain.
"Brother Li Xiang, we'll meet again someday. I'll be leaving first. If you have the chance in the future, you must come visit the Chu family." Chu Bai was the first to leave. The competitors who had traveled through the sea of stars all left the arena in a hurry. Being famous was a good thing, but it was also a bad thing. The longer they stayed here, the more likely they would be targeted in the future.
"Big Brother Li Xiang, goodbye." Bai Mumu waved her small hand at him. He did not know which branch of the Bai family she was from, but there was actually a group of attendants who came to receive her. Her prestige was not small.
Li Xiang nodded slightly, then left the arena.
Number One stood in the crowd with her hands clasped in front of her heart, an expression of disbelief on her face. Only when she saw him walking over did she burst into tears of joy, sobbing as she ran over to him.
Perhaps Li Xiang could not understand why she was so excited, but for someone of her status, a chance to travel through the galaxy could change her life completely.
She came here to work so that she could give herself a different life.
"Thank you … Thank you."
Number One pulled him into her embrace. Many competitors looked at him with envy. It must feel good to be able to hug such a beauty.
On the way back to the lounge, Number One was obviously very excited. She planned to make a few dishes to reward Li Xiang, while he was thinking about how to find Professor Maria and make her fulfill her promise.
Turning on his communication device, many people sent him messages to congratulate him. The ones he knew recently were Ye Yu, Wei Linlin, and the others. But soon, even the tenth batch of trainees, He Yi, sent him a congratulatory message.
The speed at which the news spread was a little too fast!
Li Xiang felt that the dissemination of information in this world was not as bad as he had thought. Especially those with a certain background, their sources of information were even larger. As long as they paid attention to him, no matter what happened, they would not be able to escape their eyes.
This was both a good and a bad thing.
At this moment, General Shogun and the others must have seen this message. The tarot cards might be fine, but General Shogun must be watching him closely.
He had to keep a low profile.
Now that he had Night Shadow cover his tracks, it would only make it more conspicuous. He could only do what he had to do. Fortunately, the Seven Continents protected the players who had not graduated from university very well. He did not have to run around like the main characters in the web novels in his previous life.
In fact, if he did not have this newbie protection, he would not have lived for more than a day. The kind of plot where he could escape from the pursuit of a major organization and kill them in the end would only appear in cliché web novels.
If there was a chance, General Shogun would not mind killing him personally.
It was rare to hear that Baimiya, who was in seclusion, sent him a congratulatory message. The ticket to travel through the universe was quite precious. Most importantly, no one would mind being on good terms with a future Mechanic.
A mobile resource bank like this was something that everyone would want.
Wang Bo also sent him a congratulatory message immediately. At the same time, he 'betrayed' his sister, Wang Chongyue. Li Xiang was even more certain that the resources were transported by the airship fleet she was in.
However, his and Wang Chongyue's words carried little weight. Reporting such a secret would not bring about any results. Instead, it would harm himself. Therefore, he could only tell Wang Chongyue and hope that she could escape.
The route map had long fallen into the hands of the tarot cards. The Sword Attendant had said that the decision came from the owner of the Big Acana card, and the person who proposed it was the legendary boss. As long as he made a move, he would definitely win.
Night Shadow also received this information from him. Hopefully, it would be of help to Wang Chongyue.
With that in mind, he browsed through the information and news again before turning off the communicator. Number One pouted and went to prepare dinner. She really could not understand the workaholic Li Xiang's thoughts.
Whenever he was free, he would do mechanical research and cultivation. No wonder he could pull apart the gap with his peers at this age. Could it be that this guy's brain was emotionless?
Number One thought as her hands kept moving. She was also considering if she should give her first time to him. Although he was a little young, but …
"Forget it. Let nature take its course." Number One shook her head. Ever since she came into contact with Li Xiang, she fully felt that if you treated him sincerely, he would not betray you. However, if you tried to scheme against Li Xiang, the outcome would be very tragic.
After dinner, Li Xiang went straight to his room to practice the magic circuit materialization in his brain. The staff of the Sky Arena delivered the ticket for the galactic cruise to him, gave him some instructions, and left a personal letter from Professor Maria before leaving.
After Number One memorized all the important things, she stared blankly at the letter on the table and smiled helplessly.
Professor Maria was a super mechanical genius who had made it out of the 99th floor of the Sky Arena. He was also one of the youngest researchers in the Wessex Technology Company and a professor with real power. For such a person to personally write a letter to Li Xiang, it was clear that his identity was not ordinary.
After she suppressed all her thoughts, she actually felt a lot more relaxed. They were people from two different worlds, so there was no need to force something that would not be sweet. Moreover, Li Xiang was not the kind of person who would be bound by physical pleasure.
