Chapter 424
Tianjing Team's selection was also very decisive; this is Tianjing Team's strongest lineup.
Li Hao, Black Night Saber.
Zhou Naiyi, Yaoying Athena.
Cheng Konghai, Iron Armor Steel Fist.
Ma Long, Mingwang Acalanatha.
Zuo Xiaotang, Hunter Apoll.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the final spot for the top four, the team battle that will decide the outcome is about to begin. Fire God Team has brought out their most powerful team lineup, which is also Fire God Team's unique beast-hybrid style—a combination with extremely powerful offensive and mobility capabilities. Meanwhile, Li Hao of Tianjing Team just defeated Lang Wang Basita, and at this moment, Tianjing Team's morale is high. They have chosen the Mobile Suits they are most proficient with. Let this battle leave a name!"
"Sound the battle song!"
The Triumph battle song played; in this tournament, once the team battle stage was reached, the Triumph battle song became the best symphony for cheering.
Everyone listened to the stirring music as they entered the Kepler Jungle. In the broadcast room, Huonan and Kuangwu Daren were also full of fighting spirit; whether it's a mule or a horse, it all depends on this run.
Ten Mobile Suits air-dropped into the Kepler Jungle. This time, the Red Flag Base appeared in the northern zone of the map. The one closest to the Red Flag Base was Ma Long of Tianjing Team, the shortest distance among the ten Mobile Suits. On the Fire God Team side, Lang Wang Basita was closer, while the others were in the central area. Guma and Zhou Naiyi were the furthest from the Red Flag Base; they landed in the southern zone.
After landing, all team members reported their coordinates to each other. Zhou Naiyi immediately entered Flowing Heart Martial Arts. Without having undergone any consumption, her state was at its peak. The red light flame illuminated the surrounding area. Yaoying Athena stood motionless. She could imitate Dita's ability, but it was not as precise as Dita's, and the stability was a bit poor. But at this moment, Zhou Naiyi's mindset and will had reached their peak. She knew that conserving strength earlier was for the sake of seizing the initiative at this critical moment.
Dita, sitting below, also subconsciously broke into a sweat. Girls are very subjective, and Martians are... Zhou Naiyi had inherited her will, so she was definitely on Zhou Naiyi's side. When the two were training, it was only with great difficulty that they finally let Zhou Naiyi feel her waveband, but this process was very slow, and its effect in battle was almost zero. However, at this time, if used well, it would play a major role.
Zhou Naiyi kept adjusting her Golden Zone waveband, recalling that feeling. East, South, West, North—which direction was the location of the Red Flag Base?
Abilities also have a matching degree; the higher the difficulty, the lower the success rate. In fact, the effect during training was not good, and Zhou Naiyi was also hoping to have a burst of performance.
Fire God's supporters clearly also realized this point. Before the match, everyone was very concerned about Zhou Naiyi's ability. Not playing in the singles, it was probably for this moment. Once the general direction of the base was known first, Tianjing Team could gain the upper hand. This played a huge role in team battles, and Tianjing Team had also relied on this trick to enter the top eight.
Zhou Naiyi did not dare to rush. Having finally grasped a little feeling, she didn't even dare to think about the precise location. East, South, West, North, and Center—five regions; as long as she was given a little inspiration, that would be enough.
The fire of inspiration was hovering, still without anything very clear. Zhou Naiyi had to increase the output of her Golden Zone to strengthen her feeling. She indeed did not grasp it as well as Dita did; this was also the drawback of her own ability.
The other members of Tianjing Team moved while waiting. From the audience's perspective, Ma Long was walking toward the central zone and constantly deviating from the direction. The others were about the same. Luck was not on Ma Long's side; it looked like the two teams were going to have an encounter in the midfield.
Boom.
A warning sign suddenly appeared for Zhou Naiyi. Subconsciously, the Athena defense system was activated. A K23 Armor-piercing Shell shattered the energy shield directly, and the Yao Ying immediately side-stepped and flew out. It was Guma!
She knew she had been locked onto. In the process of Zhou Naiyi adjusting her Golden Zone, she had been discovered by the Magic Eye nearby.
A hit with one shot; the fact that the opponent actually reacted also surprised Guma a little. Four missiles were fired directly. The Blood Bat Soul Book was opened. Although he lost the singles match, Guma himself had not suffered much consumption and could still use the Soul Book. Losing to Zuo Xiaotang had already made Guma furious. If he had won, Basta would not have had to face Li Mo directly and could have absolutely defeated Tianjing Team four to one. All of this was caused by his failure, and even Mengnaluo's mindset had been affected by this chain reaction.
He had to make up for his crimes in the team battle; Zhou Naiyi was definitely a big fish.
Because the flaw in her ability had already been exposed by Zuo Xiaotang, there were no smoke bombs loaded this time. The Yao Ying immediately dived and moved, performing continuous Flash Strikes to pull away and avoid the bombardment range of the missiles as much as possible. At this time, the mobility advantage of the Yao Ying was brought into play, and Zhou Naiyi's judgment was also extremely precise. Although the mecha suffered a little damage, it was within an acceptable range.
The Yao Ying waited behind an obstacle. The speed of the Yao Ying could pull away the distance; the opponent definitely couldn't catch up. But Zhou Naiyi didn't know where the opponent was exactly. She didn't have Zuo Xiaotang's god-like ability to identify positions by sound. If there was still a shooting angle, she might have fallen before getting rid of her opponent.
The Martian audience cheered. Clearly, in this situation, Tianjing Team's calculations had all fallen through. Regardless of whether Guma could take care of Zhou Naiyi, her ability had no room to play against a super Sniper.
At this time, Ma Long and Basta, who were closest to the Red Flag Base, had both deviated from the direction. Zuo Xiaotang was supporting Ma Long; the positions of the two were relatively close. On the Fire God side, two Blood Sacrifice Mechas had already converged, preparing for a joint hunt.
At this time, Li Hao was in the southwest zone. He was the third furthest from the Red Flag Base. Upon learning about the encounter between Zhou Naiyi and Guma, Zhou Naiyi did not need his support. Li Hao needed to rush to the central zone to participate in the Red Flag Base battle at any time.
Zhou Naiyi took a deep breath. This was her battle. At this time, it would be best if she could take out her opponent; if she couldn't, she had to pin Guma down and not let him support other places. A Sniper of this level was too much of a threat in a team battle.
The Red Flag Base had not yet appeared, and both major teams were aiming to eliminate the opponent's effective strength.
The second group encounter occurred between Cheng Konghai and Centaur King Walan. The Iron Armor Steel Fist, while on the move, was ambushed by the Centaur King who suddenly darted out. This was truly adding fuel to the fire. How could Cheng Konghai, who was already full of anger, let it go? Walan's charge did not achieve any effect, and he immediately retreated. He didn't intend to fight Cheng Konghai head-on. Although he had his own unique skills and didn't fear the opponent, the tactical status of the team battle was higher, so he couldn't be reckless.
Seeing that Walan wanted to run after hitting someone, the Iron Armor Steel Fist chased him all the way. Now that there was no location for the Red Flag Base, catching one was better than nothing.
One running and one chasing, Walan didn't indulge this bad habit either. From time to time, he would look back and fire a few shots with his Laser Gun, which made Cheng Konghai extremely hot-headed.
For Fire God Team, the key to the team battle was the Red Flag Base, followed by pinning down or taking out Cheng Konghai. Basta and Li Hao's fight was not easy for him, and Li Hao wouldn't be very comfortable either. They had to find the Red Flag Base and use the favorable terrain and the Super Laser Cannon to conduct the most effective defense. The three beast-type mechas were largely to increase mobility, and while outnumbering the enemy, they could discover the Red Flag Base the fastest.
Suddenly, fluctuations appeared on the radar... an opponent was approaching. Basta turned around quickly, and Ma Long, who was running wildly, also discovered the enemy. Judging by the signal, it should be the Nether Fire Genesis. Basta?
Ma Laoshi shuddered. He didn't think about facing the enemy at all and almost turned around and ran. Basta chased immediately. Ma Long's Mingwang Mecha didn't even look back. The red dot on the screen was getting closer and closer; the opponent's speed was so fast.
One running and one chasing.
"Zuoge, come and support me quickly! Basta is on my side," Ma Long shouted while running.
And in the central battlefield, the hot-headed Cheng Konghai fired a rocket. The Iron Armor Steel Fist, running wildly, rushed toward the Centaur King like a cannonball. Only someone with the physical fitness of an ant could keep up with the Centaur King's speed. But just as the Iron Armor Steel Fist was airborne, the Centaur King made a spin and turned around. The Tianhuo Changmao, shrouded in light flames, rushed toward Cheng Konghai. At the same time, mecha roars echoed in the jungles on both sides, and two Blood Sacrifice Genesis suddenly darted out.
"Ant, you've fallen for it! After all these years, you're still so brainless!" Walan laughed loudly.
In mid-air, Cheng Konghai performed a Thousand Catty Drop. The Iron Armor Steel Fist fell to the limit. The encirclement of the three Mobile Suits had already been formed. Once entangled by beast-type mechas, it was impossible to run.
"Ant, you really thought the Centaur King couldn't shake off the Iron Armor Steel Fist? And you're still so arrogant!" Mengnaluo said through gritted teeth.
"Don't talk nonsense with him, take him out first!" Amituo roared. His heart was filled with wild joy. If they took out the core force, Cheng Konghai, first, they could support others at any time with their mobility. The next one would be Li Hao. The reason Basta went up was also to take a shot; at least he could consume one round. In terms of fighting and ruthlessness, Earthlings couldn't compare to the Star people.
Winners are kings and losers are bandits; it is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
Cheng Konghai drove the Iron Armor Steel Fist and lunged at the Centaur King with all his might. Flowing Heart Martial Arts was violent, and Deep Space Intimidation was active. How could Walan fight him to the death at this time? He turned his horse and raised his hooves to dodge, but the Iron Armor Steel Fist ran away instantly. This actually made the three of Walan laugh. Is this still the Ant from back then? He actually knew how to be cowardly. Unfortunately, he understood this truth too late.
The Centaur King and the two Blood Sacrifice Mechas immediately surrounded him.
Ma Long felt miserable in his heart. Zhou Naiyi was targeted by the opponent's Sniper and could only be beaten passively. More importantly, Cheng Konghai had actually fallen into the enemy's encirclement. This battle depended on him. Li Hao was still rushing to the central zone and would need at least ten more minutes. He was also in a miserable state; he felt that the mobility of the Mingwang Mecha was just a tiny bit better, so why was Basta chasing him like this? It was miserable.
The audience at the scene also broke into a sweat. The situation was very unfavorable for Tianjing Team. Fire God Team had already formed an all-out strike, while Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang from Tianjing were still on the way. The only turning point was Ma Long; he was forced to turn back and instead ran toward the direction of the Red Flag Base, getting closer and closer.
Just as Ma Long was running wildly in a state of desperation, he suddenly discovered the sign of the Red Flag Base. His heart was filled with wild joy. "Hao Ge, Naiyi, I found the Red Flag Base! I found the Red Flag Base! Damn it, what do I do? What do I do?"
