Chapter Seventy-One: The Divine Stone Appears
On the surface of the southern hemisphere of the mysterious planet NW-AL0083, a mecha team with ten fighters is rapidly flying over the sky more than ten meters above sea level.
They nervously controlled their mechs, trying not to fly too high or too low. If it is too high, it is possible to encounter a fierce giant bird, and if it is too low, there are endless dangers lurking in the vast sea.
A powerful dark red mecha flew at the front of this team, and it was Yun Yi, the leader of this team.
Among these ten people, only three people, including Yun Yi, belonged to the first batch of mecha warriors to land on the planet, while the other seven were sent one after another. After hearing that a mercenary had been appointed as their captain, the seven were not convinced, but after seeing the limited-edition red-maned fiery horse and hearing that he was the first warrior to slay the giant beast, the seven looked at Yun Yi with envy and admiration. Not a single person dared to disobey his orders.
Half an hour later, they reached a towering cliff on the east coast of the continent. Not far from them, countless giant birds could be seen hovering over the cliff with the naked eye, and countless huge nests were arranged on the cliff, which was clearly a habitat for giant birds.
Yun Yi asked everyone to hide on the beach first, carefully observing these giant birds. After a slight scan, Yun Yi couldn't help but take a breath, and the screen showed that the number of giant birds here was more than 20,000.
"Be careful, everyone, there are a lot of giant birds in this place." Yun Yi reminded him, and began to observe the surrounding terrain, and then prepared to formulate a combat plan based on the actual situation.
"Now the giant birds are staying in their nests, and if we go up at this time, it will undoubtedly be sent to death."
Yun Yi looked at the screen and said calmly: "So, we must lurk first and wait for them to leave the lair before arranging." β
For Yun Yi's order, the two warriors who had seen him immediately agreed, and the others hesitated slightly, and one of them said, "Captain, what if these giant birds only go out to forage for food once in a long time?" β
"Then keep waiting." Yun Yi said coldly: "I don't want to bet with everyone's lives. β
The warriors were slightly startled, then stopped talking and hid nearby.
The waiting time was extremely boring, but Yun Yi sat motionless in the cockpit of the mech, staring at the giant birds tightly. Gradually, as the outer layer of the planet rotated, the sky gradually darkened.
Late at night, except for more than a dozen giant birds still circling, the other birds have returned to the nest to rest.
"Captain, do you want to make a move?"
Yun Yi thought about it for a while, but still refused: "Not yet." These birds are so smart that they still have sentinels when they sleep. β
", what the hell is this planet?" The mercenary cursed.
Yun Yi smiled and said, "If you don't take a break first, I'm responsible for alerting everyone, and I will remind you immediately if there is any problem." β
The lowest of everyone has a martial arts level eight, and they don't really need to rest, but after listening to Yun Yi's words, they are also a little grateful to him.
The night was spent in Yunyi's chat with everyone. After a night of small talk, Yun Yi got to know them better, and at the same time, he also had some accurate understanding of the Highbury family.
Rising 600 years ago, this family is one of the founding families of the Cologne Chamber of Commerce and the largest in the country, holding three of the eleven seats in the Chamber of Commerce of Cologne. And others, such as the Leiter family, the Chen family, the FΓΌrth family, etc., although they are all big families, they only have one seat.
The Highbury family's greatest source of wealth is mining and smelting. Their mining ships, except for a few large countries like Chu Tang, can be seen in almost everywhere else. There are some rare ores, such as the Bright Shale, which is only found in the narrow nebula in the southeast universe near the subhuman settlement, which is monopolized by the Highbury family and profites from it.
Even Yun Yi remembered in a trance that when he was a child, he had seen some Highbury family factories and spaceships in the New Kaifeng Star of the Zhao Song Empire.
Time passed like this, and after more than ten hours, the sky gradually began to lighten.
More and more giant birds flew up from their nests and kept making unpleasant chirps. Half an hour later, the birds rushed into the sky and disappeared into the distance. In the nest, only a few giant birds and countless young birds remained.
"Action!" Yun Yi snorted coldly, and the soldiers who had been holding back all night excitedly activated the mecha, drew their weapons, and attacked the bird's nest from all directions!
"Don't fall in love with war, use gas bombs on a large scale!" Cloud Wing reminded and rushed towards the center of the nest, where the concentration of the remaining giant birds was the highest.
Hearing Yunyi's reminder, the fighters turned on the missile launchers on the mecha one after another. This time, these mechs are equipped with the latest gas bombs specially configured for these giant birds.
Once fired, the gas blasts can envelop the area for days, even in a powerful hurricane on the beach.
The sudden appearance of the mecha startled the remaining giant bird at first, and then let out a few piercing chirps and rushed towards the soldiers.
"It's good to come!" Yunyi drew his long knife, and the mecha drew an arc, flying directly towards the fastest giant bird in the sky. The giant bird looked at the speeding mech, and the giant claws poked out, as if it wanted to scratch this never-before-seen thing with one hand.
Yun Yi deftly dodged the giant bird's grasp, and the long knife flipped over, slashing through the right wing of the giant bird. The high-frequency concussion knife was like a sharp knife cutting tofu, and it cut off half of the giant bird's right wing in a single click.
The giant bird hissed in pain, and with only one wing, it could no longer stay in the air, and fell to the ground. Yun Yi didn't want to let it go in the slightest, and the long knife poked out again, and with a single pick, the giant bird's head left its body.
"Captain mighty!"
After the warriors saw that Yun Yi was the first to bear the brunt and easily kill a giant bird, the fear in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they all drew their weapons and rushed forward, fighting with hundreds of giant birds. The giant bird is huge, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but it is inferior to the mecha warriors in terms of dexterity, and hundreds of giant birds are slaughtered by the warriors in just one meal.
Except for Yun Yi, the other mechs were more or less wounded, and the most serious one, his right arm was destroyed by the giant bird, and his back was also torn open by the giant bird, revealing the delicate structure inside. Fortunately, it did not destroy the inside of the mech, but it lost the ability to fly.
The long knife slashed in an instant, and the last giant bird was also split in half by the cloud wings. The mecha reached out with its right hand and grabbed the body of the giant bird that was about to fall. Yun Yi looked down at the giant bird's claws with a knife and stared at the giant claws in his hand. A moment later, he came to the edge of the cliff and slashed over the rock with his huge claw, and immediately cut down a large chunk of the rock like he cut tofu.
"Good sharp claws, although not as good as concussion weapons, but they are also very different. I don't know if there's any value in research......" Yun Yi said to himself.
At this time, the other mechwarriors sprang into action, scattering poison gas bombs all over the lair. Suddenly, an odorless pale cyan gas emitted and enveloped the nest.
"Let's get ready to retreat, let's find a place to hide and wait for the foraging giant bird to return, and see the effect." Yun Yi saw that the poisonous gas had enveloped the bird's nest, so he gave the order.
As he left, Yun Yi's gaze swept over some of the huge eggs in the huge nests, and some newborn chicks, who were in great pain after inhaling the poisonous gas, and kept struggling in the nests.
Cloud Wing didn't have a good impression of these ferocious beasts, and the crews of the three ships, as well as the mechfighters, were all killed by the attack of the giant bird. If humans want to survive on this planet, they must kill all of this beast, and finally leave a very small part of it to be sent to the zoo for humans to visit.
Just as Yun Yi retracted his gaze and was about to leave with the team, suddenly, in the bird's nest not far from him, something suddenly flashed, causing Yun Yi's doubts. He drove the mecha to fall slowly, and the huge mecha fell in the bird's nest, and it even seemed a little empty, you can imagine how huge this bird's nest is.
Cloud Wing zoomed in on the screen, searching for the glowing object in the bird's nest. Suddenly, a small stone appeared on his screen, and when he saw this stone, Yun Yi's eyes widened suddenly!
Divine Stone!
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Yi stretched out the mecha's big hand, grabbed the divine stone and the things next to him, and stuffed it into the mecha's body, where some supplies could be stored. He glanced around, saw that the others were not paying attention, and immediately left the nest and followed the group.
Along the way, the other fighters were happily talking about the battle just now, looking extremely excited. Before they set out, the Highbury family had already told everyone that for every one of these giant birds killed, they would be rewarded with a thousand Imperial Gold Dollars! Everyone is calculating how much they will be rewarded.
Yun Yi didn't say a word, he kept thinking about why there was a divine stone on this planet. Could it be that the Highbury family's so-called exploration of the planet NW-AL0083 is to find this divine stone?
Dragon Slayer!
This name appeared in Yun Yi's mind again, could it be that the Highbury family is also a subordinate branch of the Dragon Slayer Society? Suddenly, he remembered the delicate and accurate shot that surprised everyone when the fleet was facing the Broken Star Turbulence before, perhaps, in the headquarters of the flagship, there was a guy who had improved his ability through the Divine Stone.
Thinking of this, his brow furrowed tightly. With just one mission, you can find this kind of sacred stone in the bird's nest. If this planet contains a large number of divine stones, if they are obtained by the dragon slayer, their strength will become unimaginable, and it may not be many years before they will come to the stage from behind and kill all the Han people......
"Captain, those giant birds are back!"
Just as Yun Yi was thinking, a voice from the channel woke him up.
"Quickly conceal."
The mechwarriors immediately hid and watched closely at the scene in the bird's nest.
Tens of thousands of giant birds returning from foraging saw the situation in the nest from a long distance, and immediately let out a piercing hissing sound, which seemed extremely angry, and they all accelerated towards the nest. But they don't know that their original home has now become their graveyard.
When the giant birds fall into their nests, they all let out sad chirps as they look at the fallen chicks and the destroyed eggs. But this did not last long, and after a few minutes, the giant birds began to stagger and stagger, and they could not stand steadily, let alone fly. Another few minutes passed, and there was not a single living thing left on the Yunyi Life Probe.
"Mission accomplished! Retreat ......"
