Chapter 568: An Uninvited Guest from the Black Diamond Group
Chapter 298: An Uninvited Guest from the Black Diamond Group
More than 30 figures pierced through the clouds and landed at the bottom of the sinkhole. They all wore flying mecha with a very similar style to Lin Zaishan and Sophia, and held the most advanced weapons and equipment in their hands. The leader, dressed in a distinctive yellow mech, landed under the escort of four other mechs, and immediately began to give orders to the crowd. The mecha personnel skillfully divided into 3 teams, 1 in front and 2 behind, and slowly advanced in a vigilant formation.
Lin Zaishan and Sophia looked behind the boulder, and the latter said, "Look at this formation, it must be the Black Diamond Group." β
"The terrain here is so special that it is impossible for the Black Diamond Group's aircraft and reconnaissance equipment to be spotted from the air. So how did they know the location of the sinkhole? Did your master mention it to others? β
"Do you think my master is as stupid as you?" Sophia frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, "It must be you, the stupid pig, intentionally or unintentionally revealed it to your fox friends." β
"No way, when I saw them recently, Xiangzhu didn't tell me the location of the sinkhole."
"Can't you pass it on to them on the way you came?"
"I have the ability, but I don't. In my opinion, it was an adventure rather than a sightseeing, and I couldn't possibly involve my friends in it. β
"If it's not your stupid pig, it must be one of Ivy's three bitches, see how I clean them up when I get back!"
"I know who leaked the location of the sinkhole!" Lin Zaishan slapped his head.
"Who is it?"
"It's this flying mech." Lin Zaishan flicked Sophia's helmet, "There is a small signal transmitter in this part, I have already discovered it; But I always thought that you deliberately kept it in order to realize the remote control of the mecha. β
"Idiot! Are you supposed to be a mech professional? Sophia was so angry that she almost jumped, "How can I turn off this transmitter?" β
Lin Zaishan immediately cast his ability, turned off the signal transmitter on the flying mecha, and said in his mouth: "I didn't expect that the shrewd and capable Miss Sophia turned out to be a blind machine. β
"Stop talking nonsense. It's a good thing that the Black Diamond Group is here, at least it can block the curse for us first. β
The two of them hid behind the rocks, paying attention to the every move of the Black Diamond Group's mecha personnel.
//////
Lin Zaishan detected the yellow mecha personnel led by him and said in the communicator: "The instrument shows that the front is the center of the sinkhole, where the energy intensity is also the highest, and the gems should be concentrated there." We have 3 hours to collect gems, so keep a low profile and try to avoid encounters with dangerous creatures. β
A mecha officer found a golden goose egg-sized gem on the ground, and couldn't help but bend down to pick it up. As soon as the gem reached his hand, it immediately radiated a scorching light.
"Get out of the way, it's a cursed light!" The yellow mecha personnel shouted, and the rest of the entourage immediately dispersed and lay down; The mecha who picked up the gem was completely shrouded in a golden cursed light.
A few seconds later, the light dissipated and the gem fell to the ground, leaving the mechman still standing.
"B5, how are you?" The yellow mech called over the communicator, but received no response. He motioned for one of his attendants to go and investigate. The attendant lightly touched the shoulder of the stunned mechman with the muzzle of his gun, which immediately shattered into a pile of ashes.
βFuckοΌβ The mechs retreated in shock.
The yellow mecha personnel immediately said in the communicator: "Ground control center, we have encountered an unexpected situation. The gems in the sinkhole are protected by a cursed trap, and B5 triggers the trap to die. Be careful with the superpower team. β
"Roger. Continue with the scheduled task. The Super Powers will protect you in the shadows. β
The Black Diamond mechs bypassed the place where their companions had lost their lives and continued on their way.
//////
Sophia exclaimed softly, "I didn't expect the curse attack implicated by the gem to be so powerful. Do you have a way to circumvent it? β
"I'm still using my brain." Lin Zaishan looked at the Black Diamond Group and shook his head secretly: "If this group of people recklessly picks the gems in the buds of the stone-shaped plants, I am afraid that they will die even worse." β
"Put away your overflowing sympathy, the Black Diamond Group has come over, and they are preparing to pick the gems in the buds."
"I'd like to see how they circumvent the curse trap." Lin Zaishan was engrossed in observing the operation of the mecha personnel.
The Black Diamond Group was obviously prepared, and instead of recklessly picking the gems directly from the buds, they took out several welding-like devices and cut them from the bottom of the buds.
Soon a bud was cut off, and along with the gem inside, the mechs carefully packed it into a special metal ball and quickly sealed.
The metal orb immediately glowed purple as soon as it was filled with gems and buds, and it seemed to burst open, but eventually dimmed and returned to its original state.
The mechs placed the metal balls containing the gems and buds into a large box that they had brought with them.
"Huh? How can they do it? Sophia was quite surprised, "Sure enough, it is worthy of the Black Diamond Group, and they can get any strange magic and black technology." β
Judging from this, as long as the connection between the bud and the gem is maintained, there is still a short buffer time between the bud falling off and the cursed trap exploding; And that metal orb should be able to limit and protect against the attacks of the cursed light. Lin Zaishan thought for a moment, "If the curse attack is a one-time thing, you can use this method to collect a steady stream of gems. β
"Wouldn't that be a cheap black diamond group." Sophia resolutely said, "No, we have to stop them." β
Lin Zaishan hurriedly grabbed her, "There are not tens of thousands of gems here, there are always thousands, no matter how strong the Black Diamond Group is, it can't be picked." Why should we compete with them? β
"Didn't you think that the more black diamonds are picked, the stronger they will become, and the more dangerous we will be?"
"I'm afraid not necessarily." Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "Do you know what the biggest wealth in this sinkhole is?" β
"Of course these gems!"
"Wrong!" Lin Zaishan pulled Sophia down a little more, "It's the spell code behind the gem." β
"Oh?" Sophia isn't stupid.
"With the Black Diamond Syndicate's current way of collecting, they can only get gems and not spell codes." Lin Zaishan said, "Just like what we Chinese idioms say, buy a pearl and return a pearl, pick up sesame seeds, and lose a watermelon." β
"I don't care about sesame seeds and watermelons, I know for sure one thing: they have obtained gems that contain immensely powerful energy. As long as you absorb all these gems, you can definitely evolve and upgrade quickly. β
"Not necessarily." Lin Zaishan shook his head, "Maybe the key to evolution and upgrading is not energy, but knowledge. Your master's emphasis on the energy contained in gemstones and ignoring the knowledge they carry is objectively misleading to us. β
"Misleading! My master revealed all the information he had to us without reservation, and you were still speaking ill of her behind her back. β
Sophia was about to argue, but Lin Zaishan pulled her down again and made a boo gesture, "Be quiet, beware of someone." β
"I can see all 31 of them clearly, and I still need you to remind them?" Sophia replied with a huff.
"No, I'm talking about someone else."
"Anyone else?" Sophia was taken aback, and immediately probed intently, and sure enough, she found that several unknown energy fields were slowly approaching the two of them. "You're coming for us?"
Lin Zaishan nodded, "The other party is in a state of stealth and is conducting energy detection of our hiding place. It's easier for us to dodge when we lie down. As he spoke, he lay down behind the rock, and then pulled Sophia down on top of him.
Sophia said angrily: "Are you eating my tofu under the pretext of eating me?" β
Lin Zaishan made a boo gesture, but Sophia couldn't stand the embarrassing position of her face facing Lin Zaishan's lower abdomen, and broke free of his hand and sat up.
Lin Zaishan shouted: "Get out of the way!" Pushing Sophia to the side, he quickly completed a flip on the spot.
Two lasers pierced through a thin layer of stone and shot between the two of them.
"Activate the Energy Shield!" Lin Zaishan reminded Sophia while activating the blue light divine curtain that he had stolen from the Martial Saint.
Sophia fires a wishful armor-piercing arrow from behind the energy shield, shuttling at suspicious targets in the distance, but misses. "Can you find out where the enemy is? I found 4 of them. β
"No, it's five!" Lin Zaishan took out a handful of armor-piercing bullets that solidified his consciousness from the spatial ring and threw them in the air, using his ability to drive these bullets to shoot in a corner.
"Bang bang", with the continuous explosion of bullets, 5 mecha personnel armed with advanced weapons such as lasers and electromagnetic guns appeared. The mechs on their bodies appear to be almost transparent, and can intelligently adjust the reflected light and electromagnetic fields according to the external environmental conditions, so as to achieve the effect of stealth. Lin Zaishan's bullets temporarily hindered the function of the smart chips in their mechs, forcing them to show their form.
//////
"Sure enough, it's a fifth-level star soul." A stealth mecha officer praised Lin Zaishan and Sophia, "I didn't expect to be made invisible by you just the first one to take a face." β
"We have no grudges against the Black Diamond Group, why did they attack us?" Lin Zaishan asked.
"Do you still need to have a grudge against each other to strike a fatal blow in this last day?" The stealth mecha sneered, "You are so naΓ―ve, how did you survive until now?" β
"Maybe I've survived until now because I'm naΓ―ve." Lin Zaishan was unimpressed by the former's ridicule.
"Perhaps, but this time you are dead......" Before he could finish his sentence, he was shot in the helmet by Sophia's Ruyi armor-piercing arrow, screaming and falling to the ground.
The remaining 4 stealth mechs immediately returned fire. The attack of the laser weapons in their hands was too fierce, and Lin Zaishan and Sophia didn't have time to dodge at all, and they were hit continuously on their bodies; Thankfully, they had all activated their energy shields and didn't take fatal damage.
Sophia continued to drive the Ruyi Armor-Piercing Arrow to attack intelligently, while Lin Zaishan continuously fired multiple powerful currents.
As the Martial Saint said, the electric shock ability is too powerful, so all masters are prepared to take precautions. These stealth mecha personnel are obviously the leaders of the Black Diamond Group, the super energy team, and they have shown their housekeeping skills one after another, resisting Lin Zaishan's electric shock in a short time, and no one was injured.
Lin Zaishan also changed several attack abilities, and the members of the super team dodged or resisted the past. "I'll go! It's not easy. Lin Zaishan couldn't help but marvel.
Sophia took out a dozen small balls and threw them at the mechs, who easily dodged and didn't care when they saw the balls fall to their feet, but then the balls exploded, emitting an electromagnetic field that temporarily disabled the two mechs.
Seeing that she had no chance to lose, she drove the Ruyi Armor-piercing Arrow to deliver the fatal blow. The two personnel trapped by the mecha hurriedly released a flickering energy field again to block the arrows.
Their companion took out two things from his backpack and pressed the button to unfold them into the wind, revealing two wire nets with a diameter of about 3 meters. The two wire nets spun and flew at high speed, rushing towards Lin Zaishan and Sophia respectively.
According to Lin Zaishan's previous habits, it was to accept the net when he saw it, and this time was no exception; However, when he was about to reach out to connect the wire net, he suddenly felt a strange and powerful energy carried by the net wire, which was not electromagnetic energy, but a curse.
"Don't get touched by the wire mesh!" He reminded Sophia loudly as he used the energy vines to drive the mesh away.
Sophia moved and tumbled rapidly, but could not escape the entanglement of the silk web, and in her anger, she suddenly used her light eye ability, and the bright light flashed at the center of her eyebrow, melting half of the silk web, which fell weakly onto the gem.
The other wire mesh seemed to be conscious, and when it saw that it was not good, it hid far behind the boulder and disappeared.
"Idiot, how are you?" Sophia asked with concern as she attacked her enemy with her bare eyes.
"The parts are still there." As soon as Lin Zaishan finished speaking, he was hit by the opponent's individual electromagnetic cannon, and flew back more than ten meters, loading a stone heavily. Just as he struggled to get up, the smart wire mesh that had been hiding behind him was used as a hood, entangled him firmly.
At this point, the mecha man who had been shot at the helmet by Sophia bounced straight and took off his helmet, revealing a bloody eye that had been shot blind on his bare head, and half of the eyeball was still hanging from the eye socket. The mecha man touched his eyeball and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice with a taste, and then swallowed, and said in his mouth: "I have eaten so many high-level mutant beasts, but I didn't expect that my own meat is the best." β
He threw away his helmet and fired a powerful volley that rushed towards Sophia like a cannonball. The latter pierced the helmet with his light eye, but could not stop the helmet's attack, and couldn't help but be surprised, using his speed ability to the maximum, moving laterally to avoid the helmet's frontal impact, but was still swept by the energy field it carried, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Buffalo Bill's daughter is no more than that." The mech officer who knocked Sophia down with his helmet sneered and approached, his blind eye slowly recovering. He gulped in the strong, poisonous air of the sinkhole without any filtering or shielding, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort. "Although this hot chick is not very powerful, her appearance is really good, our task is almost completed, why don't you have fun?" As he spoke, he enveloped Sophia with a powerful energy field, and then tore her mecha through the air.
"Boss Rochester, can your North Mi rooster withstand the radiation and corrosion of an environment like a sinkhole?" One of the balding man's companions asked, "Aren't you afraid that if you are easily exposed, it will become emaciated, deformed, broken, or turned into a caterpillar?" β
"Even if it loses twice as much weight, it's thicker than you!"
Sophia's light eye ability temporarily failed, and she struggled hard, but to no avail, and only then did she realize that Rochester was a level 6 powerhouse.
"Little girl, the more you struggle, the more fun we have." Rochester grinned.
"Do you think you're in control?" Sophia took a sip at Rochester.
"Isn't it?" Rochester is ready to show off his North Rice Rooster first. "I'm sure you're running out of helpers. By the way, you'll be able to taste the 'superweapons' of our Black Diamond Group elite right away. Hahaha! β
"Bald pig, you're one less person."
"Who? Don't tell me it's your horrible father. I admit that there is still a certain gap between myself and him, but at the moment he should be busy harvesting human heads thousands of kilometers away, and he does not care about the abuse of your beautiful and touching daughter here. Ha! β
"You don't count him!" Sophia looked at Lin Zaishan, who was still struggling in the silk net.
"The weak chicken?" Rochester smiled dumbly, "Little beauty, you won't bet your hopes on a Chinese monkey, right?" Beware that you will die a terrible death! β
"The one who will really die a miserable death will be you, bald pig!" Sophia turned her face and said loudly to Lin Zaishan: "Za Lin, if I tell you the control code of the Ruyi Armor-Piercing Arrow, do you know how to do it?" β
