Chapter 361: Achilles' heel

Mercer!

How did he get here?

This is something that Su Xia never expected.

According to earlier information, a fifth-level creature named "Todd" of the Automati has arrived in Seahorse City to investigate the masked monsters.

And Mercer shouldn't have come, he should have been in the important experimental base of Coral City.

"Surprised, Masked Geek?"

Mercer's voice drifted again, piercing through the layers of heavy rain curtains, flickering far and near, as if out of nowhere.

His arrival seemed to make the whole world a little colder.

What surprised Su Xia even more was that he couldn't sense Mercer's existence!

Almost all mechanical creatures are made of special alloys and psionic liquids, even the Machine Master.

As long as there is metal, and it is near Susha, it should be sensed by Susha.

"You're looking for me?"

Mercer smiled coldly, his voice cold and ruthless as if it came from a dark hell: "How's it going, have you found it?"

Su Xia was silent, he naturally didn't find it.

Now he can only continue to run for his life.

From the moment Mercer appeared, the matter was out of Susha's control.

There is also a gap between the fifth-level creatures, the Fan Furnace kind is just an ordinary fifth-level creature, and Mercer belongs to the top category, not to talk about strength, just look at experience, they are much richer than the rest of the fifth-level creatures.

After all, Mercer was one of the first mechanical creatures to follow the Robot Master, experienced the most brutal racial wars, and grew up in the grinding of blood and fire.

There are often rumors in the outside world that he may already be a sixth-order creature.

"Run, keep running, this world is your cage." Mercer's voice was still in my ears.

No matter which direction Su Xia ran, he could hear this voice.

Mercer seemed to be everywhere, like a Grim Reaper who followed him step by step, following Su Xia closely on this cold, dark and rainy night, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow at him.

Wrong......

Su Xia's expression suddenly turned grim, and he realized that there was something wrong with the direction of his escape.

This is the Wai Sanque One!

Such a simple tactic, he actually fell on the road!

The mechanical clan had already formed an encirclement of this area, deliberately making the defense force in a certain general direction appear weaker, and guiding Su Xia to run in that general direction, because they knew that Su Xia could vaguely sense the amount of metal in each direction.

In this process, no matter how Su Xia's minor direction changes, his subconscious will bind him in this general direction.

And Mercer predicted in advance, or calculated his escape trajectory, so that he could always lock Su Xia's position.

"The tactics that the South Wind Organization only used were actually used on me."

Not long ago, the South Wind organization attacked a mercenary town, using the tactic of encircling three queyi.

It's an ancient tactic, but it's quite useful.

This tactic is more useful for psionic creatures with a certain amount of anticipation, as the opponent can lure them into a predicament based on their anticipation abilities in advance.

Thinking of this, Su Xia immediately changed his general direction.

"Boom—"

Thunder roared in the sky and torrential rain poured down.

The hundreds of dazzling flares were still slowly falling, like a bright lamp, illuminating the entire rainy night earth.

It can be clearly seen that Su Xia's figure suddenly turned into a broken line on the earth, moving quickly in another general direction.

"Have you finally figured it out?"

Mercer's voice still echoed in his ears, "1.2 seconds ahead of my calculations, you're barely a qualified opponent."

Mercer recognized, but Susha was not happy.

He still hasn't found out where Mercer's true identity is, and the other party has been hiding in the shadows, which is a big threat to him.

The Great War is about to start, and those who are in the shadows have the absolute initiative

After another ten seconds, Su Xia met the first batch of mechanical ground troops to intercept him, and there were not many of them, only more than thirty mechanical creatures.

These mechanical creatures look exactly the same, they are assembly line products, and their strength is average.

As soon as they saw Su Xia, the blue light in their eyes exploded.

"Human creatures, stop running away and get examined!"

"Repeat, get checked!"

But Su Xia didn't pay attention to it at all, just waved his hand, and the more than thirty mechanical creatures flew upside down and fell heavily into the rain.

By now, these ordinary cyborgs could no longer pose a threat to him.

At the same time, Suxia also realized a small problem.

From just now to now, whether it is those flying robots in the sky or the interception troops on the ground, he is called "human creatures", not "masked monsters".

This shows that the other party has not yet determined whether he is that person.

But Mercer said the words "masked monster" directly to him, and his words were very affirmative.

"Mercer isn't in the same chain of command as the Seahorse City Cyborgs?"

Su Xia realized, "He came alone, and he didn't even know about the mechanical base here, maybe only a very few people knew, so he didn't even get the news from the Zero Tavern."

Mercer's style of action is very different from that of ordinary automatons.

He loves to calculate, enjoys crushing and playing with his enemies, and if something goes wrong with his calculations, he gets angry, just like the last time he failed on an expedition.

While thinking about it, Su Xia met the second batch of ground enemies who intercepted it.

"Warning, human creatures!"

There were more than sixty enemies in this batch, and a few of them were strangely shaped, not assembly line products, and much more powerful than ordinary mechanical creatures.

Their voices were mechanical and cold, and after issuing a warning, they opened fire directly at Su Xia.

The current Su Xia is extremely fast, and ordinary people's eyes can only see an afterimage.

But the mechanical family is different, they seem to have their own delay function, and they can calculate and deduce the direction and trajectory of Su Xia's next move.

As a result, those terrifying firepower directly covered every area that Su Xia might pass through.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Explosions continued one after another, flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the land was in shambles.

Su Xia's face did not change, he turned on the psionic shield, dodged left and right, and at the same time controlled the direction of those shells, and finally rushed out of the area covered by the artillery fire, only receiving a slight impact.

Then, without dodging or dodging, he fully opened his abilities and rushed directly into this group of mechanical creatures.

"Click!"

"Click!"

With a few crisp sounds, the first few mechanical creatures were transformed on the spot.

Their hard alloy shell snapped and collapsed inward.

Not only the torso module, but also the mechanical module of the limbs and skull were dented, and the metal wiring inside was also cracked and disintegrated, and in an instant, it became a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

A dark blue psionic solution flowed from their cracked bodies, sinking into the icy rain.

For this mechanical creature, direct decapitation is of little use.

Their various program modules are independent and interrelated, distributed throughout the body, and can not only perform tasks independently, but also perform tasks such as calculation, exchange, and data processing in an overall system, and each mechanical creature can be regarded as a whole composed of countless small computers.

As a result, some mechanical creatures can still be alive and kicking even if they have only half of their heads left.

If you want to destroy them, you can only destroy them as a whole.

But Su Xia doesn't have that leisure now.

"Sting-"

With a wave of his big hand, more than a dozen mechanical creatures on his side instantly split into several pieces.

The mechanical creatures flew upside down, their cracked bodies spilling psionic solutions in midair, countless tiny, shattered

The metal parts were also spilled, and it was extremely tragic.

But even if they were several pieces, they could still make a sound: "Stop fleeing! Stop fleeing!"

Su Xia didn't bother and killed directly from this group of mechanical creatures, and his body was contaminated with some blue psionic solution.

At this moment, Mercer's ethereal voice sounded again: "4.6 seconds, solve a combined team, 0.7 seconds faster than I calculated, it seems that your strength is stronger than I estimated......

"There's a small human gathering up ahead, and you might want to avoid it."

I have to say that Mercer has a good grasp of Susha's psychology.

From the previous incidents, he could deduce that Su Xia would not fight the enemy in a crowded place to avoid causing innocent casualties.

Even in the Fish Scale City, the battle scene seemed to be huge, and even dozens of planes in the museum were used, but in the end, few ordinary people were injured.

Suxia was almost on the outskirts of the southern city, and there was a large complex of residential areas and factories in front of him.

As Mercer said, he really wouldn't take the fight there.

In front of Su Xia's eyes, a map of the entire Seahorse City appeared, and he kept changing directions, trying to avoid the human gathering place in front of him.

"It's disappointing, masked monster, you don't have the heart of a strong man."

Mercer was like a ghost, following him like a shadow: "Psionic creatures are already another race, those ordinary people are not your kind, you never recognize this, you have too many weaknesses......

Su Xia's eyes were calm, but he still didn't reply.

Having lived in this world for so long, he knew early on that the automaton had a different concept of racial identity than humans.

In the concept of the automaton, mechanical beings with psionic powers are the same family.

As for the other mechanical creatures - they are just toys created by humans to please them, and they don't deserve to be called their own species by the mechanical people.

Whether it is ordinary mechanical creations such as mobile phones and computers, or special mechanical creations such as military mechanical dogs, drones, steel battleships, etc., as long as they do not have psionic energy, they are all regarded as alien races by the mechanical race.

"Too weak to be truly strong." Mercer's voice was ethereal, "Do you know about the hybrid experiment? Only creatures with strong wills and strong hearts can stand the test and become hybrid creatures with the advantages of multiple races......

If it weren't for the urgency of time now, Su Xia really wanted to refute it.

Whether it is Dr. Agare's handwriting or Dad's experimental records, it can be seen that there is a great deal of chance in becoming a hybrid creature.

Until now, no one has been able to figure out what is necessary for a successful mixing experiment.

"Your weakness is fatal."

Mercer's voice drifted faintly, "If I threaten you with the lives and deaths of your companions, will you be captured?"

Hearing this, Su Xia frowned.

In that case, it is really difficult to choose.

But he can distinguish priorities, and if that happens, he will try to protect himself and keep him useful.

After thinking about it, a third group of mechanical warriors intercepted on the ground appeared in front of him, and their comprehensive strength was stronger than the previous batch, and many of them even awakened their psionic talents.

I killed them batch after batch, and I don't know when I want to kill them.

Moreover, Su Xia has not gotten rid of the eyes in the sky, and those air superiority combat robots are also following him.

Now, more than half of the mechanical soldiers in the entire Seahorse City are rushing towards him, centering on him, forming a terrifying web that cannot be escaped.

Once this net is formed, Su Xia will have no chance at all.

"Smack!"

He stepped heavily into the puddle of rain, splashing in all directions, and crashing directly into the third group of interceptors.

This time, it didn't take much time for Su Xia to kill him.

There was more psionic solution on his body, mixed with the blood and water that had solidified before, and even if it was violent and heavy, it would not be washed away, and there would always be some left.

Dark blue and dark red melted on his clothes, like a picture of blood and carnage.

The sky was filled with thunder and roaring, and the torrential rain showed no signs of stopping.

Su Xia knocked a few replenishment potions and continued to escape.

"Masked Geek, what about your second talent?"

Mercer's voice rang out again, "In the face of this siege, when do you plan to enter another dimension?"

Into another dimension?

Su Xia had heard this in the Zero Point Tavern.

On the mechanical side, the creatures that can enter another space and escape are called "Alien Space Walkers", and there are also those called "Void Walkers".

Now, Mercer said it directly to Su Xia, and it seemed that he was not afraid that Su Xia would escape through this method at all.

What does he want?

Could it be that he wanted to force out all of Su Xia's abilities to judge Su Xia's value?

What's the use of judging value?

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Su Xia's mind.

Su Xia didn't let him get his wish, still maintaining his current speed, speeding through the outskirts of the city.

As long as you can escape from Seahorse City and enter the vast wilderness, just like a dragon entering the sea, you will no longer be afraid of the encirclement and interception of the mechanical race.

"It's so sad, like a fish caught in a big net." Mercer's sad sigh suddenly sounded in Su Xia's ears, obviously describing Su Xia.

It seems that no matter how Susha escapes, it is in Mercer's calculations.

In the sky, thunder flashed.

A huge shadow suddenly cast on the earth, like a giant beast, looking down on the world in the midst of lightning and thunder.

It was a massive, spherical mobile base that had seemed to have been in the depths of the dark thunderclouds, high above the sky, accompanied by flickering thunder and lightning.

Only now did it descend to altitude and emerge from the clouds of terror.

The spherical base has a silvery-gray surface and is extremely metallic, so smooth that there are no gaps in it, and it is hard to imagine how it was built, like a perfect creation of God.

Its massive shell is extremely oppressive, more than a hundred times larger than those flying combat robots.

"Hum—"

Cracks suddenly cracked at the bottom of the base, and the alloy shell shrank inward, revealing a circular entrance.

Immediately after, a dark gray figure jumped down and jumped directly from the base.

The figure was extremely fast, constantly falling in the storm, accompanied by thunder in the sky, like a meteor in the night, heading straight for Su Xia.

Mercer!

His true body is finally here!

A suffocating sense of oppression descended from the sky, like a divine punishment.

Su Xia took a deep breath, his whole body tensed, and his expression had never been so solemn as he was now.

Because, until now, he still hadn't sensed any metal on Mercer.
