Chapter 55 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

In the face of Barbatos, which suddenly poured out on a large scale, Xuanji did not dare to fight, and after seeing a large number of pink and purple points of light gradually rising into the air, Xuanji paced towards the corner of the wall.

'Rhythm: Ionization Optics Camouflage Device Activated! ’

A message appeared on Xuanji's retina, and Xuanji was manipulating the Rhythmian to fly towards the wall with all her might, knowing that as long as she turned on optical stealth, she could delay a little longer.

In an instant, the Rhythm's appearance changed, and a thin layer of static electricity began to flicker on top of the coating, and after a few moments, the Rhythmo entered an optically invisible state and disappeared into thin air.

However, this is just a small trick, and optical stealth only deceives the visual senses, but the trajectory of the rhythm is still captured by these Barbatos.

Under the infrared thermal detection, the Rhythm is still the same Rhythm Player, and its flight path is clearly visible to Barbatos.

One of the chases, Barbatos, suddenly stopped, and switched from his left arm to a folded high-energy ion cannon, which was exactly the same model as the one on the Rhythmian, the model was the Red Phoenix.

It only took a few moments for the high-energy ion cannon to fully unfold from its folded state, looking like a sniper rifle, and Barbatos pushed the bolt and a new main capacitor was pushed into the barrel.

Barbatos aimed at an uninhabited space in the sky and pulled the trigger decisively.

A dark red giant pillar of light burst out, this high-energy ion beam was very wide, and the energy contained in the pillar of light was extremely terrifying, and the huge energy emitted made Barbatos have a slight recoil.

The dark red giant pillar of light rushed into the sky, this high-energy ion beam predicted the flight trajectory of the Rhythmian, Barbatos found out the location of the Rhythmian through infrared thermal detection, and the flight speed, like this secretly put the dark gun, as long as one is not careful, the Rhythm will be shot down.

But before this Barbatos pulled the trigger, Xuanji had already discovered Barbatos's movements.

'Rhythm: High Energy Reaction Detected, Coordinates: X-591, Y-87, Z-223'

This message suddenly appeared on Xuanji's retina, and Xuanji also suddenly performed an acute maneuver.

Rumble! The dark red pillar of light broke through the sky and flew into the distance, but it didn't hit Xuanji, but the pillar of light interfered with the atmosphere, which made the temperature over the entire Technology Development Bureau rise a lot.

After the pillar of light, a dense flickering light crystal is left under the original trajectory, which is the static electricity generated by excessive ionization of trace impurities in the atmosphere by the high-energy ion beam.

However, at this moment, Barbatos, who was closest to the Rhythmian, quickly greeted him, lifted the ion cutter and went straight to the Rhythmian.

Xuanji noticed the change in Barbatos, who were guarding the start of the technical development and were completely different from the ones she had encountered before.

That pillar of light just now, Xuanji knew what was going on, only the high-energy ion cannon of the model of the Red Phoenix could launch that kind of high-energy ion beam, which means that these Barbatos were also equipped with the Red Phoenix.

The Barbatos that was rushing towards Xuanji, the weapons in its hands were not the same as before, and Xuanji still remembered that the Barbatos he had encountered before were all holding ion cutters in the form of spears in their hands.

And Barbatos in front of her, the ion cutter in his hand looked like a slender long knife, about two meters long, it didn't look as long as the previous spear, but the arc emitted by the knife looked dazzling and bright.

Xuanji also noticed that Barbatos' maneuvers seemed to be faster than before, and Barbatos' wings looked thicker than before.

Touch! The long knife slashed up, and Xuanji switched out the ion cutter to block it, and the long knife collided with the light spear, creating a burst of restless arc light.

Xuanji was a little surprised, she didn't expect Barbatos to catch up with her so easily, these Barbatos were not the Barbatos she knew.

It seems that during this time, Barbatos has improved a lot, changed a lot, and there have been qualitative changes in the speed of maneuvering and weapons.

Xuanji didn't want to entangle with Barbatos, her mission was to hold them back and attract all Barbatos as much as possible, so Xuanji continued to sweep quickly towards a corner.

A message 'Rhythm: Propulsion power increased to 270%' appeared on Xuanji's retina.

Then, in the corner of the sky, there was no place, and suddenly a silvery-white light appeared, which was the ionic wake ejected by the thrusters of the Rhythmian at maximum power.

Due to the wide and long width of the wake, the ionization optical camouflage device of the Rhythm cannot be completely covered, which also exposes a faint ionic wake.

Barbatos' improvements have produced some qualitative changes, so Xuanji feels that their combat power should have improved a lot, so she must be extra careful.

After Xuanji's rough estimate, in the more than twenty seconds that she had stormed the sky above the Technology Development Bureau, more than forty Barbatos had gradually risen into the air and chased after her.

'Rhythm: Detects a large number of missiles approaching, coordinates: X-axis 281, Y-axis 91, Z-axis 54'

This message appeared on Xuanji's retina and she was startled, because the coordinates were directly below her, and she suddenly maneuvered at an acute angle to dodge to the right.

She looked up and saw what appeared to be a dozen X-6 missiles, but the livery of these missiles looked a little different from the X-6 missiles she knew, all of which were gray-black.

Xuanji didn't dare to stay longer, she flew over the wall and swept into the distance, she had to turn the tiger away from the mountain and lure these Barbatos out, and then the surprise attack on the Technology Development Bureau relied on the ice floe wolf them.

Xuanji thought that she could easily shake off these X-6 missiles, she knew that the X-6 missiles had a range of only 20 kilometers, and as long as she dragged them for a while, these missiles would run out of fuel and fall.

However, she soon discovered that the tail of the X-6 missiles was not sprayed with conventional chemical propellants, but with an ion wake.

In other words, these pen-sized missiles are equipped with ion thrusters, and more importantly, they rely on ionization drives.

It's hard to imagine that such a small thing can carry ion thrusters, as far as Xuanji knows, ion thrusters are very complex things, so Xuanji doesn't know how far these missiles can fly and how long they can fly.

Xuanji dragged a dozen points of light at high speed outside the Technology Development Bureau, and not far behind, more than forty Barbatos followed, heading straight for Xuanji.

The Rhythm increases the propulsion power to 270%, which is the maximum thrust value of the Rhythm under conventional propulsion, which means that under the conventional thrust, the flight speed of the Rhythm is already the limit, and Xuanji cannot be faster.

She thought that she could gradually shake off these Barbatos, but it turned out to be the opposite, whether it was these Barbatos or these X-6 small missiles, they seemed to be gradually approaching Xuanji.

Seeing this, Xuanji was also a little impatient, and she began to activate the neural linkage system.

'Rhythm: The neural linkage system is activated, and the floater enters the neural linkage state. ’

Another message appeared on Xuanji's retina, and the floats that were hovering on either side of the Rhythmian changed.

Two oval-shaped egg-shaped floats spread out from behind with two light wings from behind, making the floats look much more flexible.

Then, Float1 quickly adjusted its position and aimed the annular metal ring at a dozen or so X-6 small missiles that were chasing the Rhythm.

A yellowish crosshair appeared on the retina of Xuanji's right eye, showing a visual scene behind her on her right eye, and after a dozen points of light, the dense Barbatos was quickly chasing after her.

'Floater 1: Enter the multi-lock state, adjust the beam release time, and adjust the beam emission power. ’

A message appears on Xuanji's disappointment, and at the same time, Float 1 has undergone some changes.

The annular metal ring in the middle of floater 1 is slightly recessed inward, and the outermost ring of the metal ring is also protruding outward, making it look as if a digital camera is adjusting its focal length.

After the focal length of Float 1 was adjusted, a large number of crosshairs suddenly appeared on Xuanji's retina, and it seemed that there were more than a dozen, but Xuanji just randomly locked on.

At the same time, the more than a dozen crosshairs locked onto more than a dozen small X-6 missiles that were about to get close to the Rhythmian.

Rumble! The annular metal ring in the middle of floater 1 stopped accumulating, and the light crystals flickering next to the metal circle disappeared instantly, and an extremely thick pillar of light burst out, and the pillar of light looked extremely thick, but it didn't look bright.

The charged energy of the high-energy ion beam of floater 1 is constant, under the same energy, the wider the light column, the lower the energy density, and the finer the light column, the higher the energy density, so the light column appears to have low energy.

The giant pillar of light swept over these X-6 small missiles, and a dense loud bang exploded behind Xuanji, forming more than a dozen brilliant fireworks.

Xuanji noticed that she had dragged these Barbatos far enough, a distance that was enough to provide the Ice Floe Wolves with a dozen seconds to attack, even if these Barbatos wanted to return to the Technology Development Bureau

Originally, Xuanji was still thinking about fighting back, but seeing the improved performance of these Barbatos, she also dispelled this idea.

After more than a dozen loud noises, in the sky above the beginning of the technology development game, in the corner of the sky, twelve points of light suddenly swept down, heading straight for the Technology Development Bureau, and their flight direction was the No. 3 Research Institute.

The twelve points of light descended quickly, almost all of them were rapidly descending at supersonic speed, and the twelve points of light drew twelve detonations, these points of light were the Rhythm 2 controlled by the Ice Floe Wolf, and the other eleven Red Lotus mass production machines.

The first target of their breakthrough into the Technology Development Bureau was Research Institute 3, and according to Sui Feng's information, Research Institute 3 was creating a control system for the Black Saboteur, and as long as they destroyed Research Institute 3, they could delay the arrival of the Black Saboteur.

This scene shocked these Barbatos who were chasing Xuanji, they didn't expect this to be a tiger from the mountain, but they also reacted immediately, and nearly half of Barbatos immediately flew back.
