Chapter 519: A-Rank Energy Threat Warning, β Mechanical Wolf, Desperate Molnaki |
[Beep, beep, beep… Warning! Warning!]
[Strong energy fluctuations detected. Energy threat level is A-rank, extremely dangerous. Evacuate immediately!]
The intelligent assistant on the Xuanwu Shield mechanical armor issued a warning.
“A-rank? Silver? How is this possible?”
Molnaki confirmed the message content in disbelief.
But there was no mistake.
It really was an A-rank energy threat level.
There was no time to think.
“What the hell! Isn’t this a Bronze Rank advancement trial? Why is there a Silver-tier creature, and in this damn environment to boot?”
But the ice crystal spiders gathering around him, along with the constant high-energy warnings, made it clear he had to act immediately, or he would really die here.
“Damn it!”
“Xuanwu Shield, activate β program.”
“Confirmed! β program activated!”
The Xuanwu Shield mechanical armor began to transform.
Two rocket thrusters appeared on the back of the mechanical armor.
And the robots beside him all started moving.
These robots collided with each other and quickly combined into a mechanical wolf ten meters tall.
The rocket thrusters on Molnaki’s back spewed dazzling flames, and he flew onto the mechanical wolf’s head.
The moment the combination was complete, the mechanical wolf opened its mouth, and a scorching energy beam shot toward the ice crystal spiders in front of it.
Sssss—
High temperatures were clearly the weakness of the ice crystal spiders.
Over a dozen ice crystal spiders, hit by the energy beam amidst the flames, turned into liquid.
The mechanical wolf took this opportunity to stride outward, running away.
When they were just robots earlier, their size was similar to the ice crystal spiders.
The ice crystal spiders could still rely on their numerical advantage to attack.
Not anymore.
A one-meter-tall ice crystal spider had absolutely no advantage against a ten-meter-tall mechanical wolf.
With just a single leap, it would crush several ice crystal spiders under its feet.
Although other ice crystal spiders quickly gathered, they couldn’t keep up with the mechanical wolf’s running and jumping speed.
The ice crystal spiders’ weakness became apparent.
Even though they were all Bronze-tier creatures, they only existed as derivatives of the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend.
They had no special abilities of their own and relied entirely on their numerical advantage for combat.
Molnaki naturally noticed this as well.
But as he gradually moved away from that broken cargo ship, the crisis he faced didn’t end.
Because he had already spotted a massive spider behind him.
“Oh… what the hell is that thing?”
He controlled the mechanical wolf to get away as fast as possible.
Molnaki didn’t dare think about anything else now; he just wanted to run as far as he could.
But the next moment…
Whoosh~
A gust of cold wind blew, and a few snowflakes landed on Molnaki’s mechanical visor.
Then more and more, more and more.
In the blink of an eye, Molnaki and his mechanical wolf were engulfed.
—The blizzard had arrived.
“Faster, faster!”
The sudden blizzard made Molnaki feel like a major disaster was about to strike.
His reserve energy was draining rapidly.
But he had no choice; he could only escape this place as quickly as possible.
Still, he was quite clever.
A depression formed on the mechanical wolf’s head, and he sank into it, his body wrapped in mechanical metal.
This added an extra layer of mechanical armor for him.
“There’s definitely something wrong with this teleportation! Definitely! How could there be a player here…”
Molnaki suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression froze.
“No, how could it be…” He shook his head slightly, dispelling the thought.
How could the Yu Yuan Shelter be mixed in with those ice crystal spiders?
Those were spiders formed from ice!
How could they be a player?
Unless…
“Is he also a player who fused a civilization shard, and he fused the ice crystal spider civilization?”
Sss—
The moment this thought appeared, Molnaki was stunned.
If that were really the case, everything would be perfectly explained.
Molnaki knew a lot about civilization shards, so naturally, he knew there were many types: race type, ecology type, mechanical type, comprehensive type, special type, and so on…
Among them, the race type could potentially transform a player into a special biological race.
The player’s world would also be modified to some extent into an environment suitable for that race to survive.
“Damn it, don’t tell me that’s really the case!”
“This damn trial mission—how could anyone complete it? It literally adopted a Silver-tier creature as its godfather. Who the hell can handle that?”
“Is this testing him, or testing me…”
Molnaki was completely dumbfounded.
But his troubles were just beginning.
Bang—
A violent tremor hit.
[β Mechanical Wolf unit suffered penetrating damage, located at the lower back, kinetic energy -17%…]
Bang—
[β Mechanical Wolf unit suffered penetrating damage…]
Bang—
[β…]
Within just three seconds, three consecutive attack notifications appeared.
The mechanical wolf’s lower back, right leg, and shoulder blades all suffered penetrating damage.
Kinetic energy speed -64%, transmission capability 43%.
That Silver-tier creature had made its move.
He never expected that with just one attack, the mechanical wolf would nearly be crippled.
Fortunately, thanks to the mechanical wolf’s frantic escape, he had already fled the encirclement of the ice crystal spiders.
Seeing the mechanical wolf’s speed slowing down more and more, Molnaki knew it was time to go.
[Ejection countdown… 3… 2… 1]
Molnaki was ejected from inside the mechanical wolf.
Still in midair, the two rocket thrusters on his back had already ignited.
With the powerful thrust, Molnaki flew into the sky against the blizzard.
But he didn’t know that, amidst this blizzard, the rocket thrusters on his body were so conspicuous.
A pair of eyes, filled with murderous intent, locked onto him instantly.
Sss—
The blizzard grew even stronger.
Molnaki struggled to control his body’s balance.
“Damn it, damn it…”
[Energy warning. Current mechanical armor energy at 31%. Approaching critical threshold.]
The Xuanwu Shield’s alert sounded.
Adding another layer of gloom to Molnaki’s heart.
Just as he was pondering how to break the deadlock…
His body suddenly twisted, and a thigh-thick icicle shard flew past him, grazing his body.
Only then did Molnaki break out in a cold sweat, a moment too late.
That was the [Xuanwu Shield Type 3 Mechanical Armor]’s automatic danger evasion feature, which had helped him dodge an attack.
“So the mechanical wolf was hit by these icicle shards!”
The thought flashed through his mind.
That sudden dodge had evaded the icicle attack, but it had also altered Molnaki’s flight trajectory.
He began to fall toward the ice surface.
Molnaki quickly adjusted his flight posture.
He barely managed to stabilize himself when another icicle shard, hidden within the blizzard, attacked again.
The [Xuanwu Shield Type 3 Mechanical Armor] triggered its automatic evasion effect once more.
But unfortunately, this time, the attacking icicle shards weren’t just one.
After successfully dodging two piercing icicles, a third icicle appeared in Molnaki’s hopeless vision.
A cry filled with terror, despair, and regret echoed across the ice field.
“Nooo~”
