Chapter 655: Seven Days of Battle
Chapter 655: Seven Days of Battle
Yang Jian, Tina, Aijie, and Chenxing, a team of three humans and a cat, achieved exceptional results over these seven days. They successfully captured 283 small springs, averaging over 40 per day.
During this period, Aijie stayed in the real world to assist, as did Chenxing and Tina. Their primary task was to attack the springs, absorb the spirit energy to recover and replenish their strength, and then continue their assault on more springs. They hardly ever rested.
However, there was a significant difference compared to their previous spring attacks. In the past, they often left a path for the Skrulls to surrender, as captives could be exchanged for resources and could be turned to their side.
But these were extraordinary times, and they could no longer afford to take captives. They would kill as many Skrulls as possible, unless the Skrulls surrendered immediately upon the start of the battle. Otherwise, they would eliminate everyone in the base and move on to the next one, which saved the most time.
Su Yu’s achievements were also substantial.
His [Teleportation] skill allowed him to remain unpredictable, making it difficult for the Skrulls to track his movements. He would often use [Teleportation] to instantly reach the outskirts of a base and immediately attack the spirit energy transport facilities and the garrison.
If the Skrulls sent reinforcements of the seventh rank or higher, he would immediately teleport to the next target. If not, he would stay and capture the spring. Over these seven days, he captured 86 springs and interrupted the Skrulls' spirit energy transport 261 times, a remarkable achievement!
The only downside was that he barely had time to log in during these seven days. All his time was spent in the real world fighting the Skrulls for spirit energy. The total time he spent in the game over seven days did not exceed three hours.
His strength did not improve at all during these seven days, and he did not participate in the third [Illusory Confrontation] on November 31, which had a significant impact.
However, to ensure more spirit energy was retained on Earth, he had to make these sacrifices.
Next were the 37 separated sixth-rank cultivators. Their achievements were the most impressive on the entire planet Earth!
In these seven days, they disrupted the Skrulls' spirit energy transport over 6,000 times and captured over 100 small springs. This perfectly illustrated the saying, "Strength lies in numbers"!
They were the main targets of the Skrull strong ones. Whenever a sixth-rank cultivator appeared at a spring, the Skrulls would send an equally powerful sixth-rank Skrull to intercept, and sometimes even seventh or eighth-rank Skrulls would ambush them!
But these sixth-rank cultivators were all seasoned veterans, "old foxes" who had survived the harsh end of the law era, outliving countless contemporaries. Each one was a formidable opponent.
Thus, only three sixth-rank cultivators were injured during these seven days, with no one dying. Everyone survived safely.
As for the United Earth Government, their contributions were commendable but limited.
The relevant departments performed excellently, mobilizing a strong logistics force to provide sufficient spirit energy support for all high-rank cultivators, ensuring everyone could be effectively replenished when their spirit energy was depleted.
The United Earth Government also mobilized the military, attempting to bomb Skrull bases with tactical nuclear missiles, but the results were not satisfactory.
The Skrulls had conducted comprehensive research on Earth before deciding to invade, making their defenses robust.
They knew that Earth was a planet with depleted psychic energy, and the primary combat forces were all based on advanced technology.
So when the Skrulls invaded Earth, the force fields protecting their bases were primarily made of materials with extremely high physical resistance but relatively low psychic resistance.
During the "Gravity Funnel" incident, the monsters created by the Skrulls also had very high physical resistance and very low psychic resistance.
Due to the Skrull bases' extremely high physical defenses, the Earth United Government struggled to achieve significant results in their initial attacks.
Fujihara Chihana was the most proactive within the United Government. She was the first to conduct an experiment.
The United Government first used three high-yield hydrogen bombs to bombard the force field of the "Fu Si" small spring, but the force field did not break.
Frustrated, they added three more.
After the sixth bomb, the force field of "Fu Si" finally shattered.
Once the explosion's shockwave dissipated, over ten thousand United Government troops stormed in.
However, the technological disparity between the two sides was too great.
The Skrull garrison at the "Fu Si" spring numbered fewer than 100, and their commander had already fled. During the Earth forces' assault, the Skrulls did not send any reinforcements.
Still, the high-energy laser weapons within the base posed a significant threat to the Earth forces.
The Earth forces paid a heavy toll, losing nearly a thousand lives and taking seven days to finally clear the base of all Skrull troops and secure it.
The shocking casualty ratio made the United Government hesitant.
Without any high-tier Skrull reinforcements, they had already suffered such heavy losses. What if the enemy sent a Sixth-Rank or higher Skrull? How many lives would they have to sacrifice to capture a spring?
After this operation, the United Government stopped considering the occupation of springs and refocused their efforts on the game, temporarily withdrawing from the war.
This was the war situation over the past seven days.
Thanks to the efforts of Earth's cultivators, the Skrulls' "Explosive Extraction" operation did not manage to transport too much psychic energy back to their home planet. It was estimated that at least 30% of the psychic energy remained on Earth.
This greatly replenished the psychic energy in Earth's atmosphere. Originally, there was no trace of psychic energy on the planet's surface, but now, cultivators of around Third-Rank could directly absorb the psychic energy from the air to enhance their cultivation.
Over these seven days, the number of springs occupied by Earth's cultivators increased from 884 to 1,376, accounting for slightly more than one-third of the total.
Seven days later, it was 2:00 AM on December 2.
At this moment, the war reached a turning point.
The turning point was that, according to monitoring by relevant departments, the psychic energy beneath the small and large springs was about to be depleted!
Over the past seven days, all small and large springs had been erupting wildly, and this eruption could not last indefinitely.
Now, the eruption volume was rapidly declining.
According to the last small spring, "Caucasus Thirteen," occupied by Ai Li Jie and others, the psychic energy eruption volume had decreased from 15 times its original level to just 8 times within two hours, and the rate of decline was increasing!
It was estimated that it would not be long before the eruption volume returned to the level before the "Anti-Gravity Crystal Device" was placed.
The people of Earth had to prepare for the next step!
