Chapter 228 Death Ray Cluster
The clouds dispersed at some point, revealing the sun hanging high in the sky.

However, through the transparent tempered crystal wall, a bright orange-yellow sphere slowly enlarged in everyone's field of vision!
Everything around Nan Rong, including everyone's movements and sounds, became extremely slow.

She saw Shen Yao turn his head, his eyes wide open, his lips slowly opening and closing, and a string of strange characters were sent into her ears.

"It's a death ray cluster~~ Someone used the Star Track Death Ray Cannon~~"

Death ray cannons have always been deployed in orbit outside planets, usually to defend against invading pirates or other enemies. They are extremely powerful, so why are they being fired towards the central arena now?
But now it is meaningless to think about why.

The death ray beam came too fast and the angle was perfect, just avoiding all the intraplanetary ships cruising in the air, leaving them no time to rush over to intercept it.

Of course, they can’t be stopped even if they have time.

In a dozen seconds at most, the death ray cluster would flatten the entire central arena, turning it into a scorched earth.

Representatives from various universities, people from all walks of life on the planet Shilo, and the twenty-four teams of the most outstanding young people on the planet Shilo would all be vaporized in an instant, and even their body tissues would be difficult to distinguish.

Nan Rong herself felt it was strange that even though it was a life-and-death situation, she was still able to remain calm and did not feel much panic.

Perhaps the mark left by the Corona War was so deep that she felt there was still a chance until the last second.

Nan Rong sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​spirituality, standing in the void and looking directly at the towering white jade door.

"If I die now, all your hopes will be in vain. Stop them - or die with me."

She threw down these words and left the sea of consciousness directly. She called out all the light golden mist she could use, simulating it into a transparent protective shield to block the most likely landing point of the death light beam.

This kind of shield might not be useful. I have never heard of a defense-type transcendent below level 7 being able to block a blow from a deadly beam, and the power she could summon would not exceed level 7 at most.

Shen Yao was the same. After the initial shock, he immediately released a milky white protective shield and put it on Melissa and Patricia without saying a word. Then, with a stern face, he pushed Nan Rong in as well.

This cover can only accommodate three people and cannot accommodate a fourth.

Nan Rong didn't expect Shen Yao to do this.

In a hurry, she only had time to glance at him, and saw the tall and thin figure looking up at the gathering of death light, with the increasingly bright orange light ball coating him with a layer of dazzling gold.

In ten seconds, the death ray cluster will reach its landing point.

There was dead silence on the top platform. Everyone seemed to be forced to accept their fate, but there were two people who were not like that.

Nan Rong fully expanded his mental power and sensed a fluctuation of source energy that was becoming increasingly powerful.

This was a source of energy fluctuation that Nan Rong was extremely familiar with, with mysterious ripples unique to the space system, but it was also too stereotyped, and it was obviously derived from some extraordinary space item.

Nan Rong's eyes fell on Florent's sleeves. A ring of faint blue light flashed there at some point, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

"Goodbye." From a distance of more than ten meters, Nan Rong received Florian's gaze and heard his voice like a whisper.

He took Dominic's hand and waited for the blue light to envelop them both.

In three seconds at most, they would escape from this deadly situation and be teleported to a fixed landing point a hundred kilometers away—where an intrastellar ship was waiting for them.

There were only five seconds left before the death beam arrived. The blinding light burned everyone's eyes. The curved wall of tempered crystal was shattered by the invisible shock wave, and the resulting high heat made everyone's hair curl up. There were faint cries from downstairs. More people discovered the huge ball of light that was coming at a high speed. Some people huddled together, some screamed hysterically, and some simply took out the mecha button and jumped out of the window to try to save themselves.

After the tempered crystal outer wall shattered, the impact pressure was directly transmitted to Nan Rong's mental shield.

It was at this moment that she finally understood that her own strength was not enough to withstand the attack of the death ray cannon, the most powerful weapon on the planet.

In this case, the culprit who caused all this should not try to stay out of it.

Let's destroy it together! Nan Rong smiled calmly, and put a ray of mental power into the space-related extraordinary item, rudely interrupting the transmission.

Three seconds later, Dominic and Florent stood there, looking deathly pale.

Melissa's hands were shaking, but she held Nan Rong's arm tightly, and tried to raise her head, facing the orange-yellow ball of light in the sky with her.

Ms. Patricia had no expression on her face. She calmly uploaded her will to the central intelligence computer: "Half of the inheritance will be left to the family and given to my younger brother to manage. The other half will be used to establish a scholarship fund in my name."

Shen Yao took off his gold-rimmed glasses that were deformed by the heat, threw them aside, clasped his arms, and straightened his back.

Bosen pinched Bai Hao's arm tightly: "If you can survive this disaster, the thirty thousand Cowens you owe me will be written off!"

Amidst the chaos and noise, Nan Rong suddenly heard a voice: "Master, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you!"

The voice was quite childish, and seemed to have a slight tremor.

The next second, a small light green shadow rushed out from between Nan Rong's eyebrows, turned into a ray of bright light, and resolutely crashed into the increasingly large and scorching ball of light.

All this happened in an instant. Except for Florent and Dominic who were staring at Nan Rong, no one noticed the fleeting green light.

And after that, the beam of death light that stored infinite energy and came down with the force of piercing the sun and was enough to destroy everything around it suddenly stopped, and hovered tremblingly less than fifty meters above the top platform.

This strange scene of being on the verge of falling was like a teasing and torture before an execution, causing those who had previously gritted their teeth and held on to be unable to hold on any longer.

But there are also people who are optimistic by nature, such as Qian Duoduo, who immediately become full of hope and quickly discover a hint of rescue.

"Look, the death beam seems to have shrunk!"

Everyone, including those who had fallen to the ground because their legs were weak and they dared not look directly, now raised their heads and found that what he said was absolutely right.

The beam of death light was slowly shrinking inwards, bit by bit, and faint light green shadows could be seen flickering inside.

“It’s really gotten smaller!”

"Oh my god, what's going on?"

"Am I dazzled? Why do I seem to see something green in the death light?"

"Federation, whatever it is, please make it disappear - I really don't want to die!"

However, their prayers seemed to have no effect, because the ball of light expanded again, becoming hotter and brighter.
