Chapter 616 Breaking Through the Defenses and Finally Obtaining the Crystal
Lin Yu and his companions were cut off from their retreat by the mechanical tentacles, and the energy shield in front of them firmly protected the crystal, instantly raising the tension to its peak. The mechanical tentacles, like agile pythons, twisted and coiled in the air, emitting a chilling metallic scraping sound, seemingly warning them not to make any rash moves.
“These tentacles and the shield are definitely connected; we need to figure out how they work.” Ellie quickly calmed down, took out her scanning equipment, and began analyzing the energy frequencies of the mechanical tentacles and the energy shield. Lin Yu and Xiao Wang, armed, vigilantly watched their surroundings, ready to deal with any attack from the tentacles.
The scan results came back quickly. Ellie frowned. "The energy frequencies of the tentacles and the shield resonate with each other. To shut down the shield, we must first destroy some of the tentacles and disrupt their energy connection." Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately locked onto the mechanical tentacle closest to them. "Let's start with this one. I'll draw its attacks, and you guys take the opportunity to attack its joints."
With that, Lin Yu fired an energy beam at the tentacle. Enraged, the tentacle lashed out at Lin Yu like lightning. Lin Yu nimbly dodged to the side, shouting, "Now!" Ellie and Xiao Wang quickly opened fire, accurately striking the tentacle's joints. The tentacle's movement froze, its surface flickering with an unstable light.
"Keep attacking, it's working!" Xiao Wang shouted excitedly. The three of them increased their firepower, and under their continuous attacks, the mechanical tentacle finally couldn't bear the strain and broke off with a crash, falling to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the first tentacle was destroyed, the energy shield indeed fluctuated briefly. However, the other mechanical tentacles became even more frenzied, intertwining to form an impenetrable defensive network and launching an even more ferocious attack on the three.
While dodging the tentacles' attacks, Lin Yu and the others searched for their next opening. During the fierce battle, Lin Yu noticed a pattern in the tentacles' attacks; every so often, their attack rhythm would pause briefly.
"Everyone, pay attention! When the tentacles pause their attacks, that's our chance!" Lin Yu shouted. The three of them focused intently, their eyes glued to the tentacles' movements. Finally, the tentacles' attack rhythm paused, and the three immediately seized the opportunity, concentrating their firepower on the other tentacle.
With their seamless teamwork, the second tentacle was successfully destroyed. The energy shield fluctuated more noticeably, and fine cracks appeared on it. Seeing hope, Lin Yu's fighting spirit ignited, "Give it your all, we're almost there!"
However, just as they were preparing to continue their attack, several massive energy turrets suddenly rose up around the platform, their muzzles pointed at them. "Oh no, those are defensive turrets!" Ellie cried out in terror.
The energy turrets launched the first attack, unleashing powerful beams of energy at them. Lin Yu and his two companions quickly sought cover, the laser beams grazing past them and leaving charred marks on the ground.
"This won't do; we'll be caught in a pincer attack by the turrets and the tentacles," Xiao Wang said anxiously. Lin Yu quickly considered countermeasures and discovered that the turrets had certain blind spots in their attack angles.
"We'll use the blind spots of the turrets to get close to the shield, and then concentrate all our attacks on the cracks in the shield," Lin Yu said. The three of them carefully approached the energy shield along the cover.
As they approached the shield, they constantly dodged attacks from tentacles and turrets, each step incredibly difficult. Finally, they successfully reached the energy shield and located the crack.
"This is it! Attack together!" Lin Yu shouted. The three of them unleashed their weapons at maximum power, firing three powerful energy beams at the crack in the shield. Under the immense energy impact, the shield finally succumbed and shattered.
The three rushed onto the platform and successfully obtained the crystal that emitted a multicolored light. The instant they obtained the crystal, the entire testing ground began to shake violently, surrounding buildings collapsed, and the mechanical tentacles and turrets ceased their attacks, as if the entire testing ground was heading towards destruction.
"Quick, we have to get out of here!" Lin Yu shouted. The three of them, clutching the crystal, sprinted towards the spaceship. Behind them, the testing ground continued to collapse, sending massive rocks and metal fragments flying everywhere. Could they successfully board the spaceship and escape this dangerous planet before the testing ground was completely destroyed, using the crystal to save the entire galaxy?
