Skeleton Elf
Chapter 131 Puppet Steps
Everyone watching, including the students from various military academies, wanted to quit just from seeing this. Yes, if they were the ones attempting this, they would quit immediately and then curse the designer. Wasn't this just being a psychopath, torturing people for the sake of torture?
The Kai Long engine roared, performing a 360-degree spiral ascent. The laser gun in its hand fired a barrage of light, sweeping away the first circle of flying saucers. After landing, the Kai Long continued to fire, taking large strides forward, precisely blasting each flying saucer. The Kai Long's laser gun was often criticized for its insufficient damage and poor stability, but rapid firing and burst shots were still possible. Clearly, Mu Ou had pushed it to the limit, combining movement and attack seamlessly, without any rhythmic pauses.
However, even such precise and extreme attacks couldn't quickly eliminate all the flying saucers.
What was even more despairing was that four flying saucers appeared behind the Kai Long, and they were already close to landing. At that moment, almost all of the ground in front had disappeared, and the only remaining tile had already flashed for the first time. It would disappear after two more flashes. There wasn't enough time for the Kai Long to turn around and complete the shot. Even if it turned around and managed to hit them, it wouldn't be able to return. Moreover, it had to complete a four-hit combo in this situation. The front was a death warrant, and behind was an abyss.
To start off like this, what was the point? Designer, were you even human?
The Kai Long turned around. This was Mu Ou's choice. The laser gun fired the instant it turned.
Bang...
The Kai Long disappeared.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Reverse flash four-shot!
The last remaining tile flashed for the third time, and the Kai Long fighter took advantage of the briefest moment to leap into the air, performing a secondary rotation in mid-air, adjusting its direction to continue forward.
The four flying saucers behind it had already been reduced to fragments, one of them being shot down almost the instant it touched the ground.
The Kai Long didn't stop, nor did it have a chance to breathe. It finally crossed the dividing line. Suddenly, the entire environment changed instantly. Yellow sand filled the sky. This was the Martian terrain, the Valles Marineris on Mars, a terrible primitive ochre sandy canyon.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...
Ten ochre flying saucers flew into the air. Everyone's eyes turned green. A mimetic battlefield! This was going to blind them! And viewers with a God's-eye view could see red dots on both sides of the canyon – snipers.
As soon as the Kai Long lunged forward, a loud bang echoed, and it somersaulted in mid-air, dodging a fatal sniper shot, while simultaneously shooting down two flying saucers. The landed Kai Long fighter almost leaned back against the ground, engine thrusting, legs exerting force, using the iron bridge skill to level the mecha's center of gravity. The laser gun fired fiercely at the sky.
Just as it fired three shots, the entire fighter jumped up, leaving a string of bullet craters on the ground. The Kai Long fighter had no chance to stop and catch its breath. With five flying saucers remaining, just as the Kai Long was about to aim, the canyon sides began to spew out a violent stream of flames. Two super-heavy Fire Dragon laser machine guns frantically swept the Kai Long fighter. The Kai Long jumped through the bullets, but the laser gun in its hand didn't stop at all, firing shot after shot, managing to snatch the remaining three flying saucers from the fire.
The number of people in the entire live broadcast room was constantly climbing, already at fifty-five million, an unprecedented record. And everyone there, whether they were already in the room or just joining, was extremely quiet, eyes glued to the Kai Long in the canyon.
On both sides of the Valles Marineris, two Fire Dragons were bombarding the Kai Long, and the ochre flying saucers were making people's eyes sore. It took all their effort to distinguish them. Having just passed the Fire Dragon laser machine guns, four flamethrowers instantly plunged the entire canyon into high temperatures, constantly spewing dozens of meters of fire. The mecha had to charge through, even with the mecha's defenses, the pilot inside was like being put in a high-temperature steamer. Especially after such physical exertion, fainting was the most likely outcome.
Amidst the flames, the Kai Long's steady and rhythmic attacks could still be heard. One after another, the flying saucers were precisely shot down, each sound hitting everyone's heart.
Huo Nan swallowed, cursing inwardly. Facing ground interference, snipers, and having to destroy flying saucers, this was as difficult as fighting a monster. And his marksmanship was so good. His recoil control was so smooth. They were on different sides, but Huo Nan's discernment was excellent. But no matter how much he struggled, it was useless. He believed in Grosso, the god of basic testing. Grosso, crush Mu Ou, and I'll worship you as my idol from now on!
Huo Nan was praying. The boss said that if he could take care of Mu Ou, he would become rich.
In the battlefield, the Kai Long began to move with crossover steps, arc steps, variable frequency steps, and broken line steps, dodging the occasional cold shots while also dealing with flying saucers ejected from various tricky angles, all while maintaining speed.
This was how it destroyed ten groups of one hundred flying saucers, finally arriving at the end of the canyon. As long as it crossed the line, this level would be over. This should also be the end of this training. Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Clang...
The entire canyon suddenly darkened, completely losing its light source, like an eternal night. And in this last second, a very small flying saucer shot out.
???????
Everyone had only one thought in their minds: drag out that guy named Grosso and ***!
Bang...
The Kai Long fighter raised its hand and fired a shot, hitting it!
The canyon lit up. The small flying saucer was shattered, but just as the Kai Long was about to turn its head, the flying saucer exploded into two even smaller flying saucers that shot out.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Was this a series that wouldn't stop until it killed someone? *** wasn't enough; he should be buried!
One small flying saucer flew diagonally upwards, and the other flew diagonally downwards. Both were deadly. The most critical thing was that there wasn't even enough time for a laser gun burst shot.
Clang... Swoosh...
The laser gun roared, shattering one. At the same time, a beam of white light shot towards the small flying saucer flying diagonally upwards from its left hand.
Titanium alloy knife???
The throwing knife hit!
The two flying saucers shattered, and the Kai Long fighter finally stepped onto the edge of the canyon.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This hellish training was finally about to end. Huo Nan's face was calm, but his heart was turbulent. Could it be?
Grosso, you're the famous Grosso. You set up so many flashy traps. Could you really be taken down by an unknown nobody like this?
Just as many people were preparing to hold their breath and celebrate, an ear-splitting alarm sounded throughout the canyon, and the entire sky was tinged with a blood-red color.
A 5-second countdown appeared on the big screen. The canyon had reached its end, but clearly Grosso was unleashing a big move.
One mobile turret after another, ten on each side of the canyon. These were laser cannons with the ability to kill in an instant.
Clang, clang, clang, clang... Twenty KD356 laser cannons aimed at the Kai Long fighter below.
???
The laser cannons were in an unattackable state. This was a "beaten but can't fight back" series?
Was Grosso being unsportsmanlike? Was there any point? If he didn't want humans to pass, then he shouldn't have held a human test! Twenty laser cannons were enough to cover this mere fifty-meter area. These laser cannons could fire aurora columns as thick as a human arm, capable of penetrating all known defense systems. They were generally equipped in human bases. No matter what kind of mecha or laser shield, they couldn't withstand a single hit.
The Kai Long threw away its laser gun. As the laser gun hit the ground, everyone's emotions seemed to tighten.
At this moment, Huo Nan showed a kind and gentle smile like a nanny. As expected, Grosso was the only god.
What was the point of reasoning? What was the point of wanting a bicycle? God, don't pay attention to what mortals think. Just kill them all. Ten laser cannons on each side were enough to cover this area. No amount of footwork or dodging stances would be useful. This was indiscriminate area-of-effect damage.
How wonderful, how exhilarating, how despairing. At this moment, Mu Ou was like a butterfly falling into a spider web.
No matter how gorgeous you are, you'll all be turned to ash.
Huo Nan laughed happily. It wasn't arrogance or conceit. With the currently known methods, including super mecha, none could withstand the attack of these laser cannons. Such a network of firepower, especially since Grosso had deliberately set a fixed scene with no room to maneuver, had clearly taken into account all the performance characteristics of some super mecha.
One word – perfect.
More than five million people were yelling and cursing. Grosso was known for his madness. Only after seeing this did they realize that he had been modest before. This was a pervert.
The laser cannon energy was fully charged. Fire!
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
The dazzling light pierced through the canyon and space. The dazzling light stimulated everyone's nerves. The twenty laser cannons formed a net-like blockade attack, instantly sealing off almost all escape and dodge directions for the Kai Long mecha.
In that instant, all everyone saw was despair, and a thought arose to drag Grosso out and beat him up.
Click...
The Kai Long fighter made a bizarre pose in place, arms propping itself up, hanging down, standing on one leg like a golden rooster.
???
The first round of lasers actually missed???
The second round of lasers swept over, and the Kai Long fighter maintained its strange posture, moving awkwardly sideways. The movement wasn't fast, but the entire mecha was moving in a way that defied human norms, with extremely uncoordinated limbs, and the laser beams swept through the gaps where the limbs were stretched out exaggeratedly.
The closest laser beam was only a few centimeters away from the Kai Long mecha's main body.
The entire live broadcast room, with more than fifty-six million people, was silent. The third round of laser attacks came. Twenty lasers completely sealed off the Kai Long's movement area, forming a killing array that dominated the predicted dodging distance with the Kai Long's cockpit as the center.
A net from heaven and earth.
