Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hidden Danger
Templars!? Xiao Yan didn't expect to meet "his own people", and he was racing with him. But he was not ready for contact, and his identity was not revealed, and he still had to give priority to the task of storming the governor's palace.
The surging energy was surging in this area, not only did Xiao Yan feel that he was full of strength, but even the communication signal was blocked for a short time.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Our signal seems to be cut off for a moment, which is a common occurrence in the desert! Yo! Check out this exciting scene! Host Jack shouted, "Drones, lock them up!" Broadcast, I want the latest signal! ”
"What appeared on the big screen was the battle between the top two drivers! It's not clear what happened, but the second cheerleader and the third Fronthal are out, and they are overtaken by the Black Knight from Oscar. ”
"This Black Knight is a first-time mystery and we don't know much about him! Hey, we don't know much about most of the players, after all, no one can tell when they hang up! ”
Millions of spectators and the Brenhill were all in focus, as the two cars swept across the desert at lightning speed, leaving all the living and dead far behind.
"Next up is the Thousand Needles Stone Forest! The car will be thrilling through the stone pillars that reach into the sky! Host Jack glanced at the map, "Will the two contestants decide the winner here?" ”
Huge stone pillars appeared in front of Xiao Yan, each of which was tens of meters or hundreds of meters thick, plunging straight into the sky from the ground. The narrow road is constantly cut off by stone pillars, rocks, rivers and waterfalls, which can be smashed headlong at the slightest mistake.
"Griffith, slow down, it's too dangerous!" Sonia was startled by the boulders, "You're going to crash!" ”
Xiao Yan pulled out a drift in a thrill, almost flattening himself on the boulder. The newly enhanced perception allowed him to accurately predict the danger ahead, and even if his driving skills were not as good as Asura's, he was still able to surpass them little by little.
"Slow down, you'll smash on the rock!" Asura had fallen behind, but his voice was still lingering in Xiao Yan's mind, "Who are you?" Templars or Eldest Daughters? No, your psionic energy doesn't feel right, you're the Hare Hand!? Stop, or I'll use force! ”
"What is Hale's Hand? Forget it, I don't have time to care now. Xiao Yan muttered in his heart, and then his car rushed over a rushing waterfall. His reaction speed was greatly enhanced, and he released his spiritual energy with his hand, preempting the Asura before he could make a move.
Powerful perception allows you to anticipate the arrival of danger and avoid and defend in advance. With Xiao Yan's perceptual ability, he could even use his blade to block blast beams and bullet shots without relying on his eyesight.
Unless it's an unavoidable desperate situation, it's incredibly difficult to hit a person with high sentience. Xiao Yan has also confirmed this in many private exercises with Galadia. Therefore, Xiao Yan was well aware that ordinary attack methods were likely to be ineffective against Asura Lei.
The extreme cold spread rapidly, and the crystal waterfall that fell from the rock pillar was frozen into a thick layer of ice behind Xiao Yan's eyes, forming a silver-white wall of frost under the action of Xiao Yan's spiritual energy.
Xiao Yan launched not a direct attack, but blocked the enemy's route in the high-speed gallop.
"Ahh Unable to dodge, Asura let out a scream, and his car crashed headlong into the ice, spinning and crashing into the rocks.
……
"Champion, Black Knight!" The host cheered, "Today's match ended faster than ever, and the winner is the Black Knight Player!" Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is the award ceremony, everyone is busy! ”
Xiao Yan, who had consumed a lot of psionic energy to complete the race, silently climbed out of the car full of bullet marks. The Psionic Storm just now had a familiar feeling, like the state of the Stalker's perception of the amplification after activating the N neutron jammer, but this time the effect was even more powerful, and even made him connect with the consciousness of the first three riders to some extent.
Could it be that Dr. Hakase just activated the effect of his own device? If this is the case, the effect of the mobile armor and N neutrons even exceeds Xiao Yan's original expectations.
Go ahead and know what's going on when you catch the doctor.
"Welcome, my champion." Governor Anduin spread his arms on the steps, "Come on, come with me to the evening banquet and tell me how you killed the other contestants, hehehehehe!" ”
Xiao Yan's whole body was hidden under the black iron heavy armor, and he followed the guards indifferently towards the hall.
……
"The game is over, sooner than I thought!" A Trade Union Space Fleet colonel turned from the screen and said to Dr. Khakase, "There was a widespread signal interruption after the N neutron test reached the critical value, although it was only for a moment, but I could feel a strange feeling, as if my consciousness was floating on the invisible sea, it was amazing!" ”
On the experimental equipment not far from the colonel, Dr. Hakaset was removing the dense sensor attached to his son Kami: "Colonel Machar, the experiment was successful, but, in this short moment, I detected a large number of psionic signals, and ......"
"And what?" The colonel asked.
"There is a psionic resonance at the critical moment, a phenomenon that can only occur when multiple powerful psionics appear within the range of the position, and I suspect that the Templars or the Beyellan have already arrived on this planet." The Doctor pulled out a data box from the testing machine and handed it to the Colonel, "Our knowledge of psionic energy is still very limited, but psionic resonance of this magnitude just now is likely to expose us to some powerful people. ”
Kami, who was still a high school student, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the doctor tiredly: "Father, I just had a very strange dream......
Colonel Marchar quickly took a small data box from the doctor's hand and put it in his briefcase without looking at it: "Although there is no actual evidence, it is always right to be careful at such a critical time. I'm going to tell the crew to activate Titania, and the Doctor will bring Master Cammy to join us as soon as he gets to deal with the matter here. ”
……
"Team Alpha in position!"
"Beta Team in place!"
Advanced reconnaissance commandos scattered throughout the country are in place. The hangar deck of the Burrenshire was busy, and the pilots and ground crews were ready for a surprise attack.
"Griffith, after killing the Governor, Anduin's army will be in a brief disarray," Captain Ishtar's voice came from the communicator, "the commandos are in position, and they will join you after destroying the power station and the communication tower." ”
Thunderous applause and cheers resounded in the sky, and tens of thousands of spectators who were reluctant to leave stood up and cheered for Xiao Yan, watching him walk up the steps in the center of the audience in the arena. At the end of the steps, the doors of the Doge's Hall were already open, and the flamboyant ladies prepared red and black laurels and robes for the champion.
"Champion, the Governor is waiting for you. Please go up the steps. ”
Xiao Yan flicked his cloak, stepped out of his black iron combat boots and made a dull sound on the stone steps, and walked towards the governor at the top.
"Oh, this time the champion is also an amazing warrior, I can feel the pressure he exudes from the test of battle, and I can't wait to see what he looks like." The governor who watched Xiao Yan come forward swallowed his saliva and casually said a few words to the civil officials around him.
The residence of the Doge of Savazi was built on the highest point of the magnificent Colosseum, a tradition of their planet for thousands of years. The oval-shaped hall was brightly lit with the Governor's most distinguished guests and trusted men, and the beautiful ladies looked at the black-armored knights with greedy and lustful eyes.
On this planet, there are handsome and merry adventurers, strong and tough macho men. If you see too many of these types of people, you can also find something fresh and interesting among the travelers who come and go.
Heavy iron boots stepped into the hall, making a muffled and unstoppable sound. Xiao Yan stood at the entrance like this, looking at the crowded hall, and everyone looked at him curiously.
The strange champion in front of him wore a sharp visor, tall and straight, without a trace of bloated and vulgar feeling. He stood there quietly, monotonous and dark, like a collection of sharp blades, a toy that had never been seen before to the full house of guests and ladies alike, but with a strange feeling wandering around.
At the moment when the black-robed and black-armored figure walked into the magnificent and bright hall, the sunlight that had just filled the hall and the noisy whispers of the guests suddenly disappeared, as if a large cloud of darkness poured in and stepped on the light, and then choked everyone's throat.
Colonel Machar, who had just said goodbye to Dr. Hakase, took the elevator to the Governor's Hall on the top floor, ready to say goodbye to the Governor, just in time to see the moment when a black figure appeared at the door.
With no words or eye contact, Colonel Marchar suddenly heard cascades of indescribable whispers and apparitions wandering around the Black-Armored Knight, whispers and apparitions as substance, scanning the room like a devil looking at a sacrifice.
The Colonel of the Trade Federation's Space Fleet, who had fought countless galaxies and seen endless darkness, suddenly moved his hands and feet, closed the elevator door and pressed the switch without hesitation, and fled towards the hangar platform.
……
Sonia sat restlessly on the bridge of the Burrenshire, the powerful battle group was carrying out the battle plan according to the predetermined plan, Xiao Yan also successfully entered the Governor's Palace, and everything was going well so far.
However, there was always an indescribable uneasiness haunting her. If I had to describe it, it would be:
"This is an extreme challenge quest with initial difficulty 'A'."
