Chapter 93: A Shocking Scene
Chapter 93: A Shocking Scene
Zhao Xiwei was not foolish; on the contrary, she was an extremely intelligent woman.
After observing Mu Qianqian fighting at a distance and glancing at her rapidly fleeing opponent, Zhao Xiwei wasted no words and immediately gave chase.
Regardless of the reason for his escape, stopping him would certainly not be a problem.
However, at this moment, having unleashed her full strength and ignited the energy core, Xuan Wu's speed was astonishingly fast. Zhao Xiwei pursued, but for a moment, she couldn't catch up.
The distance was shortening, but it was still beyond the scope of attack, or even if she hit her target, the impact would be limited.
Just then, Chu Xiran, who had exerted all her strength to catch up, spoke up, "Senior, stop him quickly!"
Zhao Xiwei heard this and couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
You don't need to tell me, I'm already doing it, aren't I?
And why didn't you remind me earlier?
If you had reminded me sooner, that guy wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
Oh, you say your strength is too weak, and you couldn't keep up. Never mind then!
The battle site wasn't far from the hydroelectric plant, and after a chase, they soon arrived nearby.
At this location, the distance between the two had significantly narrowed.
Zhao Xiwei ordered the fastest wolf vulture to launch the skill "Storm Feather Blade" in mid-air! Countless feathers carrying powerful wind energy shot out like dazzling meteors.
Xuan Wu merged with Faida One, and their combat power soared, but facing such an overwhelming and relentless assault, they still couldn't avoid it.
Boom, boom, boom...
The alloy on their body was riddled with craters, and the entire robot was directly thrown into the air.
"Hahaha... Very good, very good... You'll pay for this!" Thrown into the air, Xuan Wu remained unperturbed and even burst into fearless laughter.
Then, with a 'plop,' he fell into the reservoir! Zhao Xiwei witnessed this scene and instinctively felt something was amiss.
Why could he still talk big and laugh in such a situation?
"Damn!" Chu Xiran and the two others who were closely chasing after him also heard Xuan Wu's laughter and his bold words, and saw his fate. Chu Xiran couldn't help but exclaim.
Before Zhao Xiwei could further explain, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.
The seven robots fighting against Mu Qianqian suddenly went crazy and started running frantically in a certain direction at high speed.
Even one of the robots, which had lost its combat ability, had a mechanical octopus about the size of a millstone burst out of its body. With eight legs, it sprinted in the same direction at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye.
Mu Qianqian was stunned by this scene and wanted to pursue, but she discovered that these robots were running wildly, disregarding any attacks. Even if they were struck, they wouldn't stop or retaliate. Even if they lost their combat ability, a mechanical octopus would emerge from their bodies and continue moving forward.
Out of the seven robots, only three robots and two mechanical octopi managed to reach their destination.
Their destination was none other than the reservoir.
Upon reaching the reservoir, they didn't hesitate and plunged right into it.
"What's going on here?" Mu Qianqian pursued and asked the three, including Chu Xiran, who stood by the reservoir with anxious expressions.
"The sealed land, or the unstable rift, is actually at the bottom of this reservoir!" Now that things had come to this point, even if they continued to hide it, it would be meaningless. Chu Xiran decided to speak frankly.
"So it's right under this reservoir!" Zhao Xiwei's face showed a moment of realization upon hearing this.
"I estimate that this hydroelectric plant was built by you to deceive others, right?
Mu Qianqian, on the other hand, asked with a speculative tone.
Hearing this, Chu Xiran's face turned bitter, and she nodded in agreement.
She didn't continue explaining, but instead steered the conversation back on track, "What should we do now, seniors?"
"We don't know what's going on underwater, and neither of us has a water-type companion beast. It's too risky to just dive in without knowing what we might encounter!" Zhao Xiwei spoke up without holding back, expressing her concerns.
"They're going underwater so frantically; they must be planning something with the sealed land. We need to stop them as soon as possible!" Zhao Xiwei added with worry.
"I'll send the Great Crocodile to check the situation." Zhu Bingqing thought for a moment before volunteering.
As she spoke, she pointed, and the Great Crocodile beside her quietly slipped into the water.
No one knew what was happening underwater, and at this moment, it was indeed difficult to ask others to dive in and fight.
The main issue was that they had no authority to command others on what to do.
The Great Crocodile went underwater to gather intelligence, and with its advantage as a water-type companion beast, it was unlikely to encounter any danger.
Just as the five of them were anxiously waiting, strange sounds suddenly echoed from the city's boundary area not far away.
Following the sound, they quickly witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Vehicles of all kinds rushed through the greenbelt along the city's edge, their numbers resembling a swarm of locusts.
It was as if an irresistible attraction lay ahead.
"There must be several hundred vehicles!" Mu Qianqian estimated with a glance, then spoke up.
Zhao Xiwei also chimed in, "This is going to be troublesome."
"They're not heading for the reservoir, are they?" Niu Fenjin asked uncertainly.
"Definitely!" Just then, an explosion sounded, and along with it, three elders appeared—Chu Jianghe, Niu Ai Hua, and Zhu Guan Yu. As soon as Chu Jianghe appeared, he confirmed, "Yes, they are."
"What should we do now?" Zhu Bingqing asked her elders, paying no mind to their disheveled state.
"We can only try to stop them!" As they spoke, the three elders didn't pause but continued their attacks.
"Alas, this is the only way." Mu Qianqian sighed helplessly upon hearing this and resolutely joined the battle formation.
"At this point, there's no use talking. Our priority is to stop the Machinery Drought Sect, regardless of their intentions. We must try our best." Zhao Xiwei spoke and then joined the fight.
"We can't just stand by," Chu Xiran said to Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin with determination. They couldn't participate in the previous battle, but now that they could, they wouldn't sit idly by.
A group of people fought against the robots that transformed from several hundred vehicles, unleashing their skills without restraint.
However, some robots still managed to slip through and relentlessly charged towards the reservoir.
The main issue was that these robots didn't lose their combat capabilities even after being knocked down.
One by one, mechanical octopi emerged from the robots and fearlessly rushed towards the reservoir.
With this, each robot was essentially given two lives, and Chu Xiran's team couldn't cover the entire area with their firepower.
Moreover, these mechanical octopi were agile and swift, making it challenging to hit or destroy them.
