Boom!

The salute roared, deafening.

On the Heroes Square in Moon Worship City, the crowds are surging and lively.

On the wide and towering platform, 96 participating teams made a collective appearance.

They were dressed in mechs of different shapes, holding their respective flags, quietly waiting for the start of the competition.

Aozelt delivered an impassioned opening speech for the competition, and many members of the royal family, princes and nobles, and social elites came to watch the ceremony.

Outside the off-stage cordon, many domestic media in the Kaisheng Empire, as well as other civilized interview teams invited to participate in the competition, are filming and recording the opening ceremony of this extremely historic competition.

After a brief and concise statement, Aozelt pulled out his glittering starting pistol.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and the orange-red flare soared into the sky, and the volley exploded into a bright red smoke, which was extremely dazzling.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the audience exploded.

Countless people cheered and screamed.

As the flare gun rang out, six air-space transport planes waiting in the air flew to the scene with a roar.

The 96 mechs were originally lined up in a row of 16, and they were lined up neatly, and after the air and space transport planes hovered and landed, all the mechs quickly boarded the plane and set off.

Amid the cheers and shouts of countless people, the air and space transport plane roared and climbed, left the prosperous ancient capital of Moon Worship City, and under the escort of the air and space fighters, went directly to a large island in the depths of the ocean thousands of kilometers away - Hero Island.

Hero Island is a volcanically active island that regularly erupts every few years.

So, looking down at the island from the air, the towering volcano still emits wisps of green smoke, as if it were a huge beacon tower.

The sea and sky are colorful, the vast sea is turbulent, and the weather on Hero Island, which is the venue for the preliminaries, is not particularly good.

Big waves crash against the beach, wave after wave crashes against the cliffs, stirring up strings of waves.

The volcano on the island is bare, but near the sea, there are large areas of bush and jungle, as well as small streams, rivers and small grasslands, and you can clearly see many large animals on the island.

Because the Hero Tournament is only held once every two years, the crater traps left over from the previous tournament are now puddles, and the fast-growing weeds cover the scene after the fierce fight.

Airplanes!

The air-space transport aircraft group dispersed and flew to different airdrop sites.

The flight mechanic in an integrated chemical protective suit pressed the reminder button.

Toot toot!

After three crisp sirens, the mechanic raised his left hand.

"Everyone, please note that you will be officially in the qualifiers in two minutes!"

"From the moment you leave the cabin, the race has officially begun, so please pay attention to the safety rules at all times, if you can't hold on or your life is in danger and can't hold on to the game and want to quit, you can activate the emergency rescue device on your body, or shout three times for help in the public frequency band!"

"Now, please be ready for the final departure! Please note that weapons are not allowed to be unlocked until you leave the cabin, and anyone who attacks the air and space transport aircraft will be eliminated directly!"

……

After some advice from the mechanic, the doors on both sides of the cabin opened.

Call!

A strong air flow suddenly blew in.

The transport aircraft has been specially modified to have a door corresponding to each position, and it sits back to back in the cabin.

After the hatch opened, the mecha quickly jumped out of the cabin.

Woowoo......

It was as if they had been 'thrown' directly from a height of 3,000 meters.

The heavy mecha was blown by the strong air current, like a flat boat in a rolling flood, unable to control it at all, constantly rolling and spinning in the air.

The Hero Contest has been held for many years, and any contestant knows that it is not possible to activate the landing equipment in the airspace that is too high, whether it is the most classic and simple parachute, or the recoil rocket, or the anti-gravity device.

Velocity!

The most important thing is speed!

In order to protect yourself, the best way is to spread out as much as possible, and then quickly adjust your posture and look for a favorable opportunity to attack the opponent.

If the descent device is activated at the right time, it can greatly reduce the falling speed and quickly adjust the attitude, but it is the easiest target to be fixed.

Because once the attitude is fixed and the speed is fixed, it means that there are traces to follow, and it becomes a target that is very easy to aim and lock.

Therefore, it is better for everyone to jump out of the cabin, with the help of strong flight inertia and chaotic air currents, floating around in a chaotic manner, and they can't control their attitude, so that others will not be able to accurately aim and attack.

Woo!

Falling from a high altitude, the speed will get faster and faster under the effect of gravitational deceleration.

Soon, it was less than five hundred meters away from the ground, and the mecha fell very quickly, and some players could no longer hold it and activated the buffer device.

Bang bang bang!

The first thing to throw away is, of course, the parachute, a very classic and practical and very simple cushioning device, which can be swept away by the air flow in an instant, forming a very powerful pulling force.

However, in order to ensure safety and avoid the formation of too strong overload, many mecha parachutes are set with a pull limit, that is to say, after the parachute is swept away by the air current, an instantaneous strong pull is formed, but it is not too long-lasting, and the rope of the parachute will exceed the set overload and deliberately break.

When the falling speed was greatly reduced, many mecha players immediately prepared for defense, but they did not choose to take the initiative to attack.

Energy attacks are cheap, but energy can be saved.

It's like a long-distance race, if you run with all your strength at the beginning of the race, it's absolutely impossible to make it to the end.

As the altitude continues to decrease, many mechs have all activated the buffer descent.

All of a sudden, all kinds of technologies appeared.

There is a disposable rocket recoil deceleration, which is cheap, and you can throw it away when you run out.

There are also anti-gravity devices to slow down, the equipment is advanced, and the high-end atmosphere is high-grade, but unfortunately it is a bit energy-consuming.

There are also those who simply jump into the sea, which not only saves the total weight of mecha equipment, but also achieves complete concealment at the beginning of the game, first hiding in the sea to develop obscenely, and engaging in sneak attack tactics.

Of course, there is also the fatal thing, that is, it directly and forcibly rushes into the bush and woods, directly hits the branches and trunks to slow down, and finally a donkey rolls and hides directly in the woods, landing safely and quietly hiding.

The landing link seems simple and ordinary, but it also reflects a lot of tactical literacy.

The players in the Kaisheng Empire are all experienced, and they are of course very experienced in this regard, but in comparison, the 48 participating mecha of the alien civilization that were invited to participate in the competition are a bit out of the ordinary.

There was a loud bang.

There was a mecha that hit the cliff hard, and then fell into the pile of rocks under the cliff, and then was slapped hard by the huge waves, and the mecha fell apart directly on the spot, sparks flew everywhere, green smoke billowed out, and I didn't know if it could be restored and repaired.

Compared with this unlucky guy, there is even more unlucky, after falling, he fell directly into the trap pit of the previous game.

The pit is very particular, and after the big pit is dug, it is specially stacked with fine and soft grains of sand.

It is not easy for the bulky mecha to fall into it and sink deep into the sand grains, and it is not easy to struggle out, and if you move slightly, a large amount of sand will roll inward, and the harder you move, the deeper you will fall.

But fortunately, if it can become a first-level civilization in the four-dimensional universe, the natural scientific and technological strength is not bad.

Falling into a sand pit was not fatal enough, and he forcibly activated the anti-gravity device, climbed the surrounding surface, and jumped hard, and rolled out directly.

The area of the island is not small, and the 96 mecha players are scattered, and the airdrop airspace is different, and everyone chooses different places to hide when landing.

So after landing, the 'Hunting Game' mode has officially begun.

In order to facilitate all viewers of the Kaisheng Empire to watch the game in real time, a number of high-precision reconnaissance satellites are gathered over Hero Island, and there are large-capacity communication relay satellites to provide data relay services.

At the same time, there are large long-endurance unmanned aerial cameras over the island, which have been circling and tracking and shooting, and ultra-high-definition holographic cameras are installed in many places on the island, so that the entire island is almost in the field of vision of the spectators and game referees.

There is no rear support in the qualifiers, and the players' communication devices are limited to public channels and can only be used when calling for help.

So on this vast island, they need to get at least one result in a day to qualify, which means that at least half of the 96 players will be eliminated here.

Of course, according to the rules, if less than half of the players are 'defeated' in a day, the time will be extended for another 6 hours, and during these six hours, the referee team will provide their tactical terminals with the location of nearby mechs to help them find targets and produce defeat records.

Also, the rules of the tournament allow for multiple defeats, so if you are really awesome enough to beat all the other players, it is also allowed to win the championship in a direct budget match, but this is obviously impractical, and this has never happened in the Hero Contest.

Woo...... Boom!

Qin Tian chose to activate a disposable parachute in the last two hundred meters, and then cushioned the landing.

The parachute comes with an explosive bolt, and it will automatically explode and detach after two seconds of work, so as to avoid entanglement and pulling after landing, and even being blown up by a strong wind to drag the mecha, tripping and falling are fine, if you are dragged to the ground, and you are pulled to plow the ground, it is a tragedy.

Dodging behind a large granite rock, Qin Tian immediately checked the mecha's life detector and fluctuation detector to ensure that no mecha could threaten him within a hundred meters of the vicinity.

"Good luck, eat chicken today!"

Take out the photon gun that you have with you, turn on the optical aim search function, and carefully check your surroundings.

More than 300 meters away, a four-limbed four-wheel drive mecha like a cheetah was found, and at a glance it was a speed type, with extremely fast reaction speed and absolutely good running speed.

Moreover, it is also a knapsack weapon station, and the huge photonic cannon barrel is not vegetarian, and once the fire is exchanged, the hard granite rock next to it is not enough for it to strafe intensively for a few seconds.

"Hard stubble!

Qin Tian turned the muzzle of the gun, and after carefully inspecting the surroundings, he found that a kilometer away, there was actually an unlucky guy who fell under the cliff when he landed in the air, and the mecha was broken.

But even so, he did not surrender, but struggled very hard to get up and climb back to the island.

"That's the dish!"

Qin Tian raised his gun and took aim, and immediately locked on.

Woohoo!

Beams of photons headed straight for the target, and the energy shield that instantly hit the broken mecha shone brightly, almost shattering.

After Qin Tian shot a short point, he immediately changed his position.

Really!

As soon as he dodged, the opponent's counterattack came with a bang, and the granite was smashed into a splash of rubble.

Raising the gun to shoot back, Qin Tiangang hit the protective shield a little blackened, but with a muffled bang, the opponent's protective shield exploded directly, and the entire mecha burst into sparks!

"What's going on?"

Qin Tian was stunned.

In the public frequency band, the sound of good news was immediately heard.

"Congratulations to Della Ben of the Saheya Star Federation for taking the lead in defeating the player!

Qin Tian raised his gun and immediately searched for it, and found that hundreds of meters away, a sniper rifle barrel had been retracted in the barren grass.

Taking advantage of Qin Tian's beating of Fu Keduo's mecha shield to the point of being broken, Delaben took the opportunity to sneak attack with a shot, which really snatched people's heads in an instant and achieved a defeat record.

The energy of this high-energy sniper is quite amazing, but the weight of the weapon is not light, and Della used the sniper as the main weapon to compete, so it is estimated that the tactic is to 'steal chickens', hiding in the shadows to snatch the results.

Qin Tian put away his gun and bowed down and continued to move forward, he couldn't stay here for too long, when he attacked Cockdort just now, the fire ray must have exposed the position, maybe at this moment, Delaben's sniper was already searching for the target.

Small hills make it difficult to hide tall and powerful mechs, so you must move to the jungle with complex terrain as soon as possible.

In the process of moving at high speed, Qin Tian did not run in a straight line, but took a zigzag-shaped route, and at the same time opened the energy shield, but he still suffered a lot of attacks, but fortunately, he did not break the shield.

Dodged and hid in the dense jungle, his vision became dim, Qin Tian didn't immediately run into the depths of the jungle stupidly, who knows if there was an ambush inside.

Hiding in the dense forest, the optical stealth system is activated, which can simulate the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of stealth and concealment, and at the same time remain stationary, which can also reduce the probability of being detected and detected.

And not far from the jungle, there are a few mecha have met unexpectedly, they did not choose to escape, when they are close to each other, the most taboo is to flee, that will instantly become the target of the public, and be attacked by a group.

Therefore, several of them quickly melee together, all kinds of energy weapons were used, the combat distance was too close, and they simply abandoned the main weapons such as photon guns, blaster guns, and energy snipers, and pulled out ionic combat knives one by one, and fought fiercely together.

Big mayhem!

The fierce fighting created all kinds of noises, energy splashed, light shone, and they were in a mess, and they were bound to quickly attract many 'spectators' with bad intentions.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!

This group of mecha caught in the melee has become the 'prey' of many players.

I don't know who fired the first shot, but it was soon shot out from all directions, the light shone brightly, the beams flew sideways, and the beams of energy pierced through the sky and hit the protective shields of those mechas, causing the light to shine and explode like thunder.

Qin Tian did not participate in the 'ambush', but noticed that not far away, there was a thief-eyed guy who was using his energy sniper to find a target, preparing to suddenly shoot a cold gun to kill the mecha in the melee to achieve a victory.

Long-distance fire attack, the opponent will definitely be isolated and protected by protective shields.

And the more experienced the player, the more he knows how to defend himself, so if there is no thunder trap near his sniper position, there will definitely be a sensor alarm to avoid being sneak attacked.

Qin Tian didn't choose to sneak behind him and then launch a sneak attack with an alloy war knife at close range, but instead chose a simpler, rougher, and absolutely efficient way.

Burst!

The energy sniper cannon exploded, and a large beam of energy suddenly pounced on one of the mechs in the melee whose protective shield suddenly faded.

This fatal critical blow was enough to break its protective shield and injure the entire mecha, but what this sniper would never have imagined was that when he opened fire suddenly, a large cluster of cluster energy bullets wrapped in Qin Tian was thrown directly beside him.

Rumble!!

The orange-red light shone brightly, as if a small tactical nuclear bomb exploded, and within a few meters of the moment, all the plants and trees were instantly charred into powder by the ultra-high temperature, and the sniper who was in the center of the explosion, of course, his mecha also broke the protective shield in an instant, and the mecha was severely damaged on the spot.

In the public frequency band, just about to report that he had achieved a defeat record, he was killed, and in this way, the record was transferred, and Qin Tian temporarily ranked first on the list with two records.

Hear the announcement in the frequency band, and then see the thick smoke and fireball coming out of the jungle.

Delara Ben controlled the mecha and moved quickly with the energy sniper cannon, he knew that Qin Tian was definitely there, maybe he could kill him while he was in chaos.

However, before Della arrived, Qin Tian made persistent efforts.

Those mecha that are deep in the melee and are surrounded by firepower from all sides are already in danger, and now everyone is gathering firepower to attack wildly, and the probability of blowing up the mecha to get the record is equal to everyone, it depends on who has better character.

Of course, the besieged mechs are not fools, they have long given up fighting each other, but will maximize the energy output, so that the defense of the shield reaches the strongest, and at the same time use the shield to strengthen the defense of key parts, withstand the strong and powerful attack and quickly transfer and dodge.

Qin Tian was lively for a while, and found that it was not easy to achieve results, so he immediately made a decisive move.

On the way to rush into the depths of the jungle at high speed, Qin Tian did not forget to arrange a few tricky mines, the probability of exploding the mecha to achieve a record is not large, but it definitely has the effect of defensive warning, in case the pursuers come, it can just blow up a lively scene.

Wander into the jungle and blend in with your surroundings.

Optical stealth can hide the appearance, and reducing the energy output can greatly reduce the probability of being physically detected.

While concealing, Qin Tian set up treacherous mines around him, and the surroundings were ready to attack at any time.

It didn't take long for a beast-shaped mecha holding a sniper cannon to quickly break into Qin Tian's aiming frame......
