"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by a sound like cracking brocade, the saw-toothed limbs waving by the metal spider flashed with cold light, and fell towards Liao Qi, who was facing it like a soul-sucking scythe of death.
The latter, just before the sharp blade was about to cut him in half, turned sideways.
He almost rubbed the tip of his nose to avoid this fatal blow.
"Crack!"
"laugh--"
The missing limbs of the metal spider easily pulled out a neat trace on the floor, just like cutting through paper.
Taking advantage of the gap in the opponent's attack, Liao Qi broke into the blind spot where the opponent's limbs could not reach, and fired with the "Scorpio" in his hand almost against the opponent's shell.
The high-energy pulse beam instantly burned the opponent's smooth metal shell into mottled black. But just when the pulse was focused and wanted to burn through the opponent's armor in one go, it bounced up like a jumping spider, and instantly Jumped to the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
Without continuous burning, Scorpio's high-energy pulse only left a discontinuous black mark on the opponent's shell and joints.
Danger!
On the other side, the moment the metal spider jumped up, a chill as if the god of death was blowing on the back of Liao Qi's neck.
It was the premonition of danger brought to him by the edge enhancement system!
At this moment, even if the opponent's limbs could not reach him, Liao Qi followed his dangerous instinct and chose to dodge immediately.
He jumped on his knees, and the bouncing power of the "grasshopper" type reinforced ligaments made him eject like a cannonball.
He escaped the opponent's fatal sneak attack.
A silver afterimage sprayed out from the tip of the opponent's fusiform body, hitting the spot where Liao Qi was 0.3 seconds ago.
There, a plaster statue placed in his stead was struck.
The silver afterimage instantly bounced off into a metal net before hitting the plaster statue, capturing it. The remaining kinetic energy they carried even flew to the center of the hall with the plaster statues. They did not stop completely until they hit the ancient textile machine and stirred up dust on the fabric.
After stopping, the metal mesh immediately began to shrink rapidly like a deflating balloon.
The sharp metal grid shrank into a crumpled metal ball in a few breaths. At the same time, the plaster statue in the network was divided into "building blocks" scattered on the side of "Paradox".
Regarding this, "Paradox" just looked down at the plaster blocks on the floor indifferently...
He didn't even dare to vent his anger.
Let me control the scale of the battlefield!
If possible, Jiang Zhou would even want to shout these words out.
Just a little bit.
I was really just a little bit close to hitting myself!
Jiang Zhou, who was sitting in front of the textile machine, looked calm on the surface at the moment, but deep down he was afraid.
After taking a few long breaths calmly, he forced himself not to look down at the blocks again.
For now, he must maintain an unwavering master posture.
Well, he didn't even bother to deal with the attack that almost affected him before.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou turned his attention to Booker.
At this moment, Booker jumped up high - several jets with blue tail flames extended from the carapace on his calves, causing him to dodge in an extremely tortuous trajectory in mid-air. The metal spider sprayed several more metal webs towards him.
Then, Booker opened his right hand towards the opponent - at this moment, his right hand transformed into a focused energy microwave transmitter.
In an instant, it was as if there was electricity, and countless dazzling electric sparks bloomed on the metal spider's body.
The "cracking" sound of electric shocks continued to explode, and the smell of ozone simulating ionized air filled the hall.
However, after the arcing phenomenon ended, the metal spider hanging upside down on the crystal ceiling was still unscathed.
Not even a bit of blackening remained.
Fuck, Booker, aren’t you a veteran adjuster of depth 3? Work harder!
Feeling the gap between such a strong performance and such a crotch-stretching record, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssss-"
(I will kill them all and leave you to torture for the last time)
At this moment, a metal spider with the scientific name "Arachne II Stalker" threatened Jiang Zhou.
In this regard, Jiang Zhou just controlled Liao Qi and used Scorpio to shoot at the opponent's twinkling "eyes" to draw his attention away from him.
The metal spider jumped up and rushed towards Liao Qi again.
At the same time, Liao Qi's communication channel received Booker's message.
"We need to make a bigger hole in that guy."
He said so.
At this moment, Booker's right arm popped out of the radiator, hissing and steaming in the air.
His main weapon, the "Chef" microwave launcher, is an extremely efficient anti-personnel weapon. It can explode the enemy's brain into popcorn from a few hundred meters away through cover and through the skull.
But when dealing with this kind of hard-shell autonomous machinery, even if it is fired at full power, it can only trigger a burst of very beautiful electric sparks.
"I can burn the opponent's core circuit, but the opponent's metal shell is equivalent to a Faraday cage, isolating the destructive power of microwaves."
Booker continued.
Following his words, the single-molecule samurai sword in Liao Qi's hand quickly transformed into something that looked like a pile driver.
And because of insufficient parts, it is only a mini version.
At the same time, the Aegis module on Booker's body continued to deform. The armor on many non-vital parts even fell off, eventually transforming into a huge nail gun on his left hand.
"So, we need to open the can first."
He said so.
…
For their subsequent confrontation, in Jiang Zhou's native perception, he could only see a few afterimages ejected in the hall, and hear the constant clanging sound of weapons clashing.
Of course, from Liao Qi's perspective, he could still keep up with the rhythm of this battle very intuitively.
This feeling is very strange, as if two displays are playing a movie at the same time, except that one display is 120 frames 8K, and the other is 10 frames 320P.
But no matter what, the fight that lasted less than a minute left the entire hall in a mess, as if a tornado carrying countless files had been raging through it.
They left countless high-energy pulse bullet holes and steel nails penetrated by nail guns on the ground, ceiling, and walls...
There are traces of the destruction of their battles everywhere.
During this period, Booker and Liao Qi tried their best to leave a deep enough opening in the shell of the metal spider.
Booker's reaction and speed are better than Liao Qi's, but because he lacks a keen intuition for threats, he has always used the nail gun transformed by Aegis to suppress the shooting at medium and short ranges.
But most of the steel nails were blocked by the opponent's airtight joints, and only a few nails hit the opponent.
There is no way to expand the results.
In close combat, Liao Qi, who had an instinct for danger that was almost like a sixth sense, kept closing the distance and rushed into the blind spots where the opponent's limbs could not reach to fight.
The mid-range and long-range net guns and the eight short-range sharp joints are both fatal threats to Liao Qi. Only keeping a close distance is the safest for him.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, this battle appeared to be an extremely strange scene - a depth 1 adjuster looked like he was chasing this depth 2 malicious program.
Got it!
Once again, the distance was closed under cover. This time, Liao Qi finally found a flaw.
He inserted the pile driver-like thing in his hand into the steel nail that Booker had previously shot into the opponent's shell.
"Buzz——"
Under the violent vibrations of the pile driver, the steel nail buried deep in the armor instantly exploded into a steel flower.
And the flower of steel directly opened a plate-sized hole on the opponent's armor, revealing the complex internal structure under the carapace.
"enough."
Booker's voice echoed in the communication channel.
Next, he only needs to keep the distance and wait for Booker to fire another full-power microwave to destroy all its internal circuits.
But it was also at this time, perhaps realizing that he would inevitably retreat, that the metal spider screamed again.
Screaming, at least for Booker.
"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssss-"
(Even if you can't kill them, you can't live.)
There is no doubt that this sentence was addressed to Jiang Zhou.
After saying that, the metal spider inserted its eight serrated limbs deeply into the ground, fixing itself in place like a signal base station.
In the detailed information about the Arachne II Stalker that Booker previously transmitted to Liao Qi, it is recorded that this autonomous machine usually has two combat states:
One is the strong attack state, which is the posture when fighting Liao Qi and Booker previously. For those without strong firepower, it is an extremely difficult opponent due to its powerful armor.
The second is the hunting state, where one's own body is hidden and fixed as a processing center, and the predator spider swarm is controlled; that is, the smaller metal spider that Jiang Zhou encountered before; to hunt and kill.
So, is the opponent going to directly control the predator spider swarm to kill him?
Finished...
But then, Jiang Zhou felt that his consciousness was stretched instantly.
It was the same feeling as before - in an extremely tense situation, I once again stood on two different perspectives on the problem, thinking about the problem in two threads, and looking for a complete solution three-dimensionally.
Still... there is a way...
…………
Well done!
Seeing Liao Qi detonating the unfilled armor-piercing bullet that he had shot past earlier, Booker couldn't help but cheer in his heart.
As long as you pry open the opponent's turtle shell, the rest will be simple.
"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssss-"
It was also at this time that the Arachne II Stalker suddenly let out a piercing scream.
Then, it instantly changed its fighting state.
Booker was stunned.
It’s almost over, what is the other party doing?
Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the "Paradox" behind him. This turn made Booker's heart suddenly rise to his throat.
That god-like being stood up from the loom for some unknown reason.
this……
Is the trial over?
Before Booker could ask, the other party spoke first.
"It seems that this trial is still too easy for you."
He said.
For some reason, the voice sounded dull.
What?
Booker panicked.
"So, allow me to add some difficulty to you at the end."
"Paradox" continued.
The moment He finished speaking these words, the door of the hall suddenly shattered, and the windows around the hall were also broken open.
A dozen smaller predator spiders burst into the devastated hall.
"Stop the swarm of spiders before they touch this loom."
The last sentence, the voice of "paradox", was transmitted directly to his mind after the other party deciphered the communication channel encrypted by Mandala.
This was Booker's first reaction.
Immediately, he was very glad that he had not talked nonsense with Liao Qi on the communication channel before...
It was obvious that Liao Qi, who was also in the communication channel, also received this order.
And he reacts faster than himself.
Before he could react, Liao Qi on the side was already yelling, holding his weapon as if he was desperate, and rushed towards the predator spider closest to the textile machine.
