Zongman: Just selected the natural disaster to ascend and join the chat group

Tang Xi stared at the screen and quickly typed on the keyboard to analyze the data. Her brows were furrowed, her forehead was covered with 14 fine beads of sweat, and her expression became more and more solemn.

"Captain, this energy is completely different from what we've encountered before. Initial assessment suggests it appears to have come from the technology of an ancient empire, and... appears to have regenerative properties."

There was a tremor in her voice, a fear of an unknown force.

Xu An's brows were twisted into a knot, and the "Chuan" character on his forehead seemed to be engraved deeper. An ominous premonition surged in his heart: "Regeneration attribute? Could it be that..."

His eyes revealed deep worry, as if he could foresee the difficult challenges that were about to come.

Before he could finish his words, the mysterious man laughed wildly and said, "Indeed, this is the power bestowed upon me by the great empire. You ants are simply unable to resist!"

His laughter was sharp and piercing, echoing in the cave, full of arrogance and mockery.

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and countless golden threads suddenly emerged from the energy vortex and shot towards the team members rapidly. Those threads were like agile poisonous snakes, carrying a deadly threat.

The team members dodged in a hurry. The golden threads scraped across the outer shell of the mecha, leaving behind charred marks. The pungent smell of burning filled the air.

"This damn guy, is there really no way to deal with him?" Ellie was extremely anxious, her voice became sharp because of her anxiety, revealing a hint of despair, as if she couldn't find a way out in the darkness.

Just when everyone was in trouble, Lao Chen, a scholar who had been studying ancient books, suddenly remembered something, and his originally frowned brows instantly relaxed.

His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Wait! I've seen similar records in an ancient book. Although the Empire's regeneration technology is powerful, it is not invincible."

"Its energy core relies on a special crystal to operate. By destroying the crystal, its regeneration ability can be broken!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, as if he had grasped at a life-saving straw.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu An's eyes, and his originally dim eyes instantly brightened up: "Old Chen, are you sure? Where is the 707 crystal?"

His tone was full of anticipation, like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.

Old Chen adjusted his glasses and carefully recalled the contents of the ancient book. "According to the records, the crystal should be at the core of the energy vortex behind him, but the defenses there must be extremely tight."

His expression was very serious, with a hint of worry in his eyes, knowing that this would be a difficult battle.

Xu An took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and gave a decisive order: "Li He, Zhang Li, you are responsible for attracting the mysterious man's attention and creating an opportunity for me to approach the energy vortex."

Chapter 648 I don’t understand why this happened suddenly

　"Tang Xi, continue analyzing the energy fluctuations and identify any weak points in the defense. Ai Li, assist Xiao Yu in protecting the support personnel. A Jie, prepare the jamming equipment. Once I approach, immediately disrupt the mysterious individual's energy transmission."

His voice was firm and powerful, and every word seemed to carry power, inspiring the morale of the team members.

Everyone took orders and took quick action.

Li He and Zhang Li drove the mecha, rushing towards the mysterious man from the left and right. Their eyes were firm and full of fighting spirit.

There was a fierce look on Li He's face, as if he wanted to vent all his anger towards the mysterious man; Zhang Li gritted his teeth, holding the joystick firmly with both hands, concentrating fully.

Weapons were firing at full power, explosions rang out one after another, and the cave was filled with smoke.

The mysterious man was attracted by the fierce attack and focused all his attention on the two people, constantly waving golden threads to resist.

There was ferocity in his eyes, his hands danced rapidly, and the golden threads were like a dense rain of arrows, which was dazzling to the eyes.

Tang Xi stared at the screen intently, his forehead covered with sweat, and a few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.

"Captain, his defense on the left is a little weak. I've sent you the coordinates."

Her voice was calm and focused, her fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and her eyes stared at the screen without blinking, as if racing against time.

Xu An drove the mecha and carefully approached the energy vortex along the route provided by Tang Xi.

His eyes were fixed on the front, his hands were steadily controlling the mecha, and every movement was cautious and decisive.

Ajie followed closely behind, his eyes revealing tension and anticipation, his hands tightly holding the jamming equipment, ready to launch the jamming at any time.

Just as Xu An was about to approach the energy vortex, the mysterious man seemed to sense the danger, turned his head suddenly, and a thick golden energy column shot towards Xu An.

The energy column was extremely fast and carried a breath of destruction.

At the critical moment, Li He rushed over in a mecha. His eyes were firm and he did not hesitate to use his body to block the attack. The mecha was instantly penetrated by the energy column, and thick smoke billowed out. The sound of twisting metal was heartbreaking.

"Li He!" Xu An's eyes were red and he was anxious. His voice became hoarse with grief, as if his throat was strangled.

"Captain, don't worry about me, just do it!" Li He's voice came from the communicator, weak but firm, with a determination to face death.

Xu An gritted his teeth, suppressed his grief, and continued to approach the energy vortex.

Ajie saw the right moment and pressed the jammer. The mysterious man's energy transmission was instantly blocked, and the energy vortex stagnated briefly. The originally rapidly rotating energy became slow, and the light dimmed a bit.

Xu An took the opportunity to rush into the energy vortex and finally saw the crystal at the core that was flashing with strange light.

The crystal emitted a deep blue light and was surrounded by mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient secret.

Without hesitation, he raised his weapon and struck the crystal with all his might...

However, just as the weapon was about to touch the crystal, the crystal suddenly emitted a strong light, forming a transparent shield that bounced Xu An's attack back.

Xu An's mecha was shaken back repeatedly by the reaction force, shaking violently.

"How could this happen?" Xu An was shocked and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

At this time, a mysterious figure who had been hiding in the shadows of the cave slowly walked out.

This person was tall, wearing a black cloak, and his face was shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see his features.

Chapter 649: Starfish Guardian Helps Again

　"Humph, you think you can destroy the empire's core technology? How naive."

His voice was low and cold, as if it came from hell.

Xu An looked at the mysterious man warily: "Who are you? What does this have to do with you?"

The mysterious man did not answer, but just waved his hand gently, and the golden threads in the energy vortex instantly changed direction and shot towards Ajie.

Ajie's face changed drastically and he dodged hurriedly, but several threads still hit his mecha, and some of its systems malfunctioned instantly.

"Ajie, how are you?" Xu An asked anxiously.

"I... I'm fine, I can still hold on." Ajie replied while panting, his forehead covered with sweat and his eyes revealed unwillingness.

The mysterious man spoke again: "This crystal is protected by the empire's most powerful magic and technology. It is impossible for you to destroy it. However..."

His tone suddenly changed, "If you are willing to give up, I can consider sparing your lives."

Li He shouted angrily, "Dream on! We will never give up. We must defeat you and save the Earth!"

His voice was full of fighting spirit, and although the mecha was severely damaged, there was still a determination in his eyes.

The mysterious man sneered: "Then don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, he waved his hands again, and the energy in the vortex began to surge wildly. The golden threads became denser and rushed towards the team members...

At this time, the starfish guardians who had been silently accumulating energy felt the crisis of their team members.

They looked at each other, nodded, and then gathered together, releasing a powerful colorful energy.

This energy was like a solid barrier, blocking the attack of the golden threads.

"We are here to help you!" The voices of the Starfish Guardians echoed in everyone's minds, full of strength and warmth.

Xu An's heart warmed, and he said loudly: "Thank you! Everyone, we can't let the Starfish Guardians down, and we must continue to find a way to break the crystal defense!"

The team members nodded, cheered up, and once again threw themselves into the battle against the mysterious man and the energy vortex. (beea)

While dodging the attacks of the golden threads, Tang Xi quickly analyzed the energy fluctuations of the crystal shield.

"Captain, although the shield's energy fluctuations are powerful, there seems to be a brief gap. It appears every ten seconds and lasts only about half a second."

There was a hint of excitement in her voice, as if she saw the hope of victory.

Xu An's eyes gleamed when he heard this. "Okay, everyone, listen up. We'll take turns attacking to attract the mysterious man's attention. I'll be responsible for trying to destroy the crystal again when a gap appears. Li He, you go first, be careful!"

Li He drove the damaged mecha and rushed towards the mysterious man again.

Although the mecha's movements were a little slow, his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

"Come on, you bastard!" He roared, and the weapon in his hand spewed out flames as he attacked the mysterious man.

The mysterious man snorted coldly and controlled the golden thread to shoot towards Li He.

Li He dodged flexibly and kept getting closer to the mysterious man to buy time for Xu An.

Ten seconds passed quickly, and Tang Xi shouted, "Captain, there's a gap, hurry up!"

Chapter 650: Continue to increase the frequency of attacks

Xu An took a deep breath and drove the mecha towards the crystal like an arrow...

Xu An drove the mecha towards the crystal like an arrow, moving at lightning speed with an unstoppable momentum around him.

The mecha's engine spewed out blazing flames, like burning hope, illuminating the dim cave.

Just when he was about to touch that brief gap, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the side. It was Li He.

Although his mecha was covered in scars, with dents and dents on its shell, and smoke coming out of many places, he still crashed into Xu An with a resolute attitude.

"Li He, you're crazy!" Xu An's face was full of shock, his eyes widened so wide that his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

His hands subconsciously yanked on the joystick, his knuckles turning white from the effort, in an attempt to avoid the collision, but he was still a step too late.

The two mechas collided heavily, making a sharp sound of twisted metal. The sound was like a devil's scream, echoing at the edge of the energy vortex.

The mecha shook violently, and Xu An felt dizzy and it took him a while to recover.

"Captain, don't blame me." Li He's voice came from the communicator, with a hint of helplessness and guilt. The voice seemed to be polished by sandpaper, rough and bitter. "They promised me that if I help them, they will let my family go."

Xu An's heart was shocked, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He never thought that Li He, who had always fought side by side with him, would betray him.

Those scenes of their life and death together flashed through his mind rapidly, but now they were like slaps in the face, making his cheeks hurt.

Tang Xi was also stunned by this sudden change. His originally nimble fingers stopped on the keyboard, as if he was under a spell.

"Li He, how could you do this? We have been through so much together!" Her voice was full of disappointment and anger, her eyes were slightly red, tears were welling up in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

At this moment, the mysterious black-robed man let out a triumphant laugh. The laugh was sharp and piercing, like the cry of a night owl, echoing in the cave: "Xu An, what else can you do now? Give up, you have no chance of winning."

As he spoke, the golden threads surged towards Xu An and Tang Xi again, densely packed like a surging tide.

Xu An gritted his teeth, his jaw clenched so tightly that his cheeks bulged, suppressing the anger and grief in his heart: "Tang Xi, don't panic, we still have a chance."

· ····Request flowers····0

He quickly adjusted the mecha, operating the joystick flexibly with both hands, his eyes determined, always paying attention to the movement of the golden threads, avoiding their attacks, while his brain was working rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.

Suddenly, Xu An noticed that when the golden thread attacked, the rotation speed of the energy vortex would change slightly.

His eyes suddenly lit up, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, and he immediately shouted to Tang Xi through the communicator: "Tang Xi, carefully analyze the changes in the speed of the energy vortex. This may be the key to breaking the shield!"

Tang Xi quickly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Her fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and the collision of her nails and the keyboard made a rapid sound. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, without blinking, as if she wanted to see through it.

"Captain, I found that when the frequency of the silk thread attacks reaches a certain level, the shield gap time will be extended by 0.3 seconds!" Tang Xi shouted excitedly, with a hint of surprise in his voice. That surprise was like the dawn in the darkness, illuminating everyone's hope.

Xu An's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, that light was firm and fiery: "Okay, let's lure him to increase the frequency of his attacks."

Chapter 651: The Zerg Appears, and the Mysterious Man Appears

　"Tang Xi, use the mecha's energy jammer to disrupt the trajectory of the silk thread, forcing him to increase his attack!"

Tang Xi immediately did as he was told and activated the energy jammer. The jammer emitted a strange wave, and the originally orderly golden threads instantly became a little chaotic, running around like headless flies.

The black-robed man frowned upon seeing this, an angry expression on his face, and controlled more silk threads to attack. The speed of those silk threads was even faster, and the force was even stronger. There were bursts of whistling sounds in the air.

Xu An seized the opportunity and rushed towards the crystal again.

But just as he was about to reach the gap, Li He stood in front of him again.

"Li He, wake up! They will not let your family go, nor will they let us go!" Xu An roared angrily, his voice becoming hoarse with anger, as if he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Li He's hands trembled slightly as he gripped the joystick tightly, his knuckles turning white. A look of struggle appeared on his face. "I... I have no choice. I can't let anything happen to my family."

At this moment, a little girl's crying voice came from the communicator: "Dad, I'm so scared, they said they would hurt me and mom..."

Li He's face turned pale in an instant, and his voice was crying: "Xiaoyou, don't be afraid, Dad will save you right away." His eyes were full of anxiety and worry, like an ant on a hot pan.

Xu An's heart moved, and he shouted to Li He: "Li He, only if we defeat them together can we truly save your family! Believe me!" His eyes were firm and sincere, as if conveying endless strength to Li He.

Li He looked at Xu An's determined eyes, and thought about the safety of his family, and he felt a conflict between his conscience and his desires.

The smiling faces of his family members appeared in his mind, and he thought of Xu An's trust and the friendship they had fought side by side. He finally made up his mind: "Okay, Captain, I believe you this time!"

The two fought side by side and rushed towards the crystal.

The black-robed figure sensed their intentions, a ferocious expression on his face, and frantically manipulated the golden threads to block them. The golden threads swung through the air like sharp blades.

Tang Xi kept adjusting the jammer in the back, his eyes fixed on the screen, beads of sweat covering his forehead, a few strands of hair soaked by sweat sticking to his cheeks: "Captain, I will do my best to buy you some time!"
