Chapter 19: The Thousand-Footed Man
At 4:30, Li Huaxia stared open, and through the faint light from the window, he dressed lightly. His movements were as light as a tanuki, for fear of waking up the sleeping little beggar.
However, when he was about to go out, he still saw Long Xiaoxi's tearful gaze: "Big brother, do you want to leave me......"
Long Xiaoxi slept very lightly, she had been living on the streets of [Jinli] for a long time, and she didn't dare to sleep too deeply wherever she slept anywhere.
Li Huaxia rubbed her short hair and said, "How come, big brother wants to go out to run errands!" Does Xiaoxi want to go out and see the excitement? ”
Hearing that Li Huaxia didn't want to throw herself away, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!" ”
With that, Li Huaxia pulled Long Xiaoxi out of the door of the hotel.
In the early morning of Nanzhao City, it is always foggy and confused. A white mist like the skirt of a goddess engulfed the entire city. As far as the eye can see, everything is milky white, and the wooden attic looms in the milky white mist.
"Big brother, what are we doing here?" Long Xiaoxi took Li Huaxia's hand, stood in the somewhat clammy and cold mist, and asked puzzledly.
"Let's see the fun." Li Huaxia said with a smile.
After two minutes, there was a faint tremor on the ground, and several tall figures slowly moved out of the mist.
A heavy aura of slaughter permeated the air, making people chill to the bone.
Long Xiaoxi stepped back, hid behind Li Huaxia, and whispered, "I'm afraid ......"
Four mecha slowly walked out of the mist, the shape of the mecha was extremely hideous, these mecha were [Octopal Demon Spider]. They are known as the most inexplicable beast-shaped mechs in the Republic of Asgardia. Strange movements, attacks without dead ends, and ferocious advances have forged its prestige.
Different from ordinary spider-shaped mechas, the eight spider legs of this [Octopal Demon Spider] use a detached drive. The average spider-shaped mech is designed with eight spider legs, all for all-terrain mobility. And the [Octopus Demon Spider] is different, its eight spider legs, each of them, are used to attack!
Its eight 2.5-meter-long spider legs, made of super-strong alloy, could be used as eight spears.
The Octopus Demon Spider is not equipped with any conventional weapons, as its eight alloy spider legs are by no means weaker than any alloy sword.
During the battle, it only needs two spider legs to support the weight of the mech. In battle, the pilot of the [Octopus Demon Spider] can control six spider spears at the same time to strike at the enemy like a storm!
This mecha has a comprehensive score of 7+ in the Mecha Rating System of the Republic of Asgardia, which is a high-end mecha.
Don't underestimate this rating, the reason why it doesn't get a rating of more than 8 is because it's too difficult to operate.
Ordinary pilots are simply unable to exert the terrifying displacement and attack abilities of the eight spider legs. If the full performance of [Octopus Demon Spider] is brought into play, it will definitely not be weaker than a mecha with a rating of 8! This kind of mecha is a complete nightmare for all pilots.
It's just that there are very few human pilots who can exert this kind of mecha attack performance. Li Huaxia himself tried, and he couldn't.
But what if the pilot isn't human? Li Huaxia knew that the people sitting in the cockpit of the four mecha in front of him were not humans.
There is only one creature that can maximize the performance of the [Octopus Demon Spider], and that is the Thousand-legged Man, an intelligent life with dozens of tentacles.
Because human beings only have two hands, they are in a disadvantaged position in terms of hand speed compared to thousand-legged people in terms of congenital conditions. Just imagine what would happen if dozens of tentacles jumped on the control keyboard of the mecha with a thousand-footed man!
They are definitely pilots who can perfectly use the performance of the [Octopus Demon Spider]. Centipedes are creatures that do not belong to the Republic of Asgardia.
Their homeland, in the heart of the Far Distant Alliance of Intelligent Life in the Universe, is thousands of light-years from the borders of the Republic.
Their home planet has a very poor economy and a very poor environment, in order to live a better life, as the best pilot race in the universe, many thousand-legged people will choose to become a mercenary and roam the universe. It's just that I didn't expect that this time Li Huaxia's opponents actually found four thousand-foot pilots to deal with them.
Probably because in [Tuscany], Li Huaxia used the [Sword of the King] to kill [Wind Catcher] Carol, exposing his strength.
Therefore, the other party specially prepared this sneak attack for him, even if he had the [King's Sword], Li Huaxia would be able to compete with two [Octophlawed Demon Spiders] at most.
If there are three stations, he definitely needs to run away. Now, there are a total of four [Octopal Demon Spiders] that appear on the streets.
The four [Octopus Demon Spiders] formed a semi-arc formation and surrounded the hotel where Li Huaxia and his group were staying.
This situation is a bit inexplicable.
Seeing this kind of mecha, the corners of Li Huaxia's mouth showed a determined smile, it seems that the information in the information card sent by Long Xiaoxi is not wrong at all.
In that information card, the exact time, number, and method of the opponent's sneak attack were given.
Seeing the four [Octopal Demon Spiders] approaching step by step, Li Huaxia was very calm.
He gently touched Long Xiaoxi's hair and said, "Big brother will give you a magic trick, okay?" ”
Seeing the curiosity flashing in Long Xiaoxi's eyes, he continued: "Big brother will fix the method, don't believe it, you can see ......"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. His two fingers interlaced and he made a "snap" sound.
With his movements, the four [Octoped Demon Spiders] that were moving slowly really seemed to have been immobilized, and they stood there fixedly, not moving.
Long Xiaoxi's mouth opened into an O-shape, and a pair of big eyes looked at the four [Octophlawed Demon Spiders] in a daze, and he couldn't even speak.
It's not scientific!
Even those who don't know mechs know that no one with any ability can invade the mecha's system and cause the mecha to brake urgently.
However, why did the four [Octopus Demon Spiders] really say that they didn't move?
At this moment, several sneaky figures emerged from all corners of the street. The protective suits on their bodies have switched to camouflage mode, and they blend perfectly into the environment of the street in the fog. Zhan Tieba carried a sniper rifle with a length of one meter and a half on his shoulder, and said to Li Huaxia with a smile: "Head, it's done!" ”
Li Huaxia nodded and said, "I haven't slept all night, I've worked hard for you!" Go, drag the thousand-footed man out for me! ”
Now that he has obtained the information of the opponent's attack, it is impossible for Li Huaxia to be unprepared.
The thousand-legged man's technique of piloting the mecha was indeed extremely ferocious, and even if he drove the [Sword of the King], he was not sure that he would wipe out all four [Octopused Demon Spiders].
But what about the battle that has to be hard-hitting? In the universe, the department with the most ways to deal with aliens is probably the Dominion's Interstellar Immigration Bureau.
Why is the thousand-legged man's mecha piloting skills so strong, but he can only be reduced to a mercenary? Quite simply, they have an Achilles' heel.
At the end of the central nervous system of their brain, there is a gland. This gland secretes a substance that controls all of their tentacles.
As soon as a specific energy radiation hits them, this gland in their body comes to a standstill.
Every thousand-legged person piloting a mecha usually wears a special protective suit to prevent the opponent from attacking with special means. This kind of protective clothing protects the general means of attack, and with the technology of the Interstellar Immigration Bureau, there are more than a dozen ways to ignore the protective clothing and directly attack the brains of the thousand-legged people.
After getting the information yesterday, Li Huaxia immediately ordered Zhan Tieba to handle this matter.
No, the five of them lay in ambush all night, and finally completed this perfect ambush in the early morning.
Zhan Tieba's several people handled things neatly, and while the thousand-legged people were incapacitated, they quickly opened the cockpit of the [Octopus Demon Spider].
After a while, they dragged four bulging sacks and came to Li Huaxia. Needless to say, the sack contained four thousand-foot pilots.
The appearance of the thousand-legged man was like a disgusting octopus, and his whole body was slippery and greasy, and Li Huaxia didn't let them find the sack. It's disgusting to the point that it's not good for children.
He waved his hand casually and said, "Find a way to get them to speak, and if they know each other, let them go." It's just a few mercenaries, so there's no need to kill them all. ”
These Thousand-Footed Men and Wolves are different from Steppe Wolves. The hands of the [Wolf Gang] and the [Prairie Fox] are covered in blood, and no matter how they deal with it, they will not have a burden in their hearts. And these [thousand-footed people] are just mercenaries who take money to do things, and there is no need to make mortal enemies with them.
However, these four mecha belong to Uncle Li. This kind of thing, even in the [Jinli], is very valuable.
Seeing Zhan Tie's domineering four people dragging sacks to deal with the thousand-foot people, Li Huaxia fell into deep thought. When he received the information card from Long Xiaoxi yesterday, he was still suspicious of the affairs of the Qianzu people. In line with the mentality of preferring to believe what he has and not believing what he doesn't, he arranged for Zhan Tieba and a few people to prepare countermeasures.
Fortunately, he made arrangements, otherwise these four thousand-footed people suddenly came over, I'm afraid he would really have to open some hole cards to deal with.
But this thing is weird. Since I arrived in [Jinli], I seem to have nobles to help me wherever I go. Problem: These guys are always mysterious, and they keep themselves scratching their heads.
There was an inexplicable Xie Tu who had already puzzled him, but fortunately, a mysterious woman appeared again. Alas, it's a headache.
Li Huaxia pulled Long Xiaoxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, do you remember what the sister who gave you the information card looks like?" ”
Long Xiaoxi thought for a while and said seriously: "That sister is covering her face, I can't see her appearance clearly." ”
"Then how do you know she's beautiful?" Li Huaxia asked.
"Because she has very, very beautiful blue eyes!" Long Xiaoxi said.
Blue eyes? Hearing this, Li Huaxia couldn't help but pause, could it be ......
