Chapter 424: Crisis

The golden serrated blade in the black mecha's hand had long since been thrown away somewhere unknown. Its two hands were trembling slightly, yet a layer of pale red light shield had appeared on its body surface, with runes flickering incessantly on the surface—it was precisely the second-rank spell, Flame Shield.

Feeling the Yin Qi surging wildly from the banner in his sea of consciousness, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel eager to try!

He could clearly feel that the Flame Shield cast after being amplified by the mecha seemed to have recovered some of the power it had in the Cultivation World.

And he had already tested it: the Yin Qi consumed in "Star River" seemed to be the same as in the Taiyuan login interface space; after exiting the game, it would all be restored to its original state.

Since that was the case, he could seemingly use this not-so-weak Chicken Pheasant Beast leader before him to properly test how much true power he could unleash with his Cultivation World spells while in mecha state, or whether using Star Mind Power directly in mecha state would be more powerful.

As for the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast above suddenly locking onto him and launching an attack, although it was somewhat unexpected, it wasn't too surprising when one thought about it carefully.

Even if this physical body of his was weak, his mental power was that of a four-star Mind Power Master. Even if he had concealed most of his mental power in the game, in the sensing of this Nebula Beast whose mental power also reached the three-star level, he was likely still the greatest enemy on this battlefield.

Therefore, it was only natural that this beast would appear early and even lock its target directly onto him, this strong enemy.

Thinking of this, a certain spell suddenly surfaced in Wang Yu's mind. In the cockpit inside the mecha, he pinched a spell seal with both hands and began chanting.

Following Wang Yu's actions in the cockpit, the black mecha also made the exact same movements, likewise looking up at the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast in the high sky, its two hands pinching spell seals incessantly.

Seeing the black mecha below unharmed, the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast in the high sky saw its eyes turn blood-red. After a sudden flap of its wings, another layer of white light shield bloomed from within its body.

Only this time, the light shield only expanded to the size of three or four zhang before it stopped growing; instead, the shield wall became thicker and thicker, emitting a blinding white radiance.

After a short moment, the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast's figure was completely submerged by the white light, turning into a huge white ball of light.

"Hum—" a sound rang out.

The huge ball of light plummeted from the sky toward the black mecha, its speed extremely fast. Seen from afar, it was like a white meteor descending from the heavens.

With a few flashes, it reached the space above the black mecha.

At this very instant, the ground in the large pit below trembled.

A piercing sound of breaking through the air erupted!

Countless slender golden rays shot out from the soil, stabbing toward the white ball of light like a rainstorm.

It was precisely the original entry-level spell, "Golden Needle Technique"!

The canyon was filled with a large pile of various shattered mecha metal debris, which was naturally a natural venue for casting this spell.

The white ball of light, which had been descending rapidly, was brought to a sudden halt by the impact of the golden rain, and was even forced to retreat repeatedly by the continuous golden rays, flickering incessantly.

In just a few breaths' time, several crisp "crack" sounds came from the ball of light. Dense black cracks appeared on its surface; clearly, it could no longer hold up under the impact of so many golden rays.

Just then, a sharp cry came from within the white ball of light.

"Boom—" a sound rang out.

The huge ball of light burst open, and the rolling air waves swept away all the incoming golden rays.

Taking this opportunity, the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast within the rolling air waves turned into a blurred shadow and pounced toward the black mecha below.

"Swish," "swish," "swish."

At three places on the ground near the black mecha, three long, huge metal spikes resembling ropes suddenly ejected. Simultaneously, they pierced through the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast's body from three different directions like lightning, as if three huge iron frames had directly pinned it in mid-air, unable to move a single bit.

The rain of golden rays still spraying from the ground changed direction and shot toward the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast once again.

The dense golden rays submerged the Chicken Pheasant Beast leader in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, even though this Chicken Pheasant Beast leader was powerful, it could not continuously release that so-called "force field barrier"; at this moment, it was just a fixed target.

A few miserable sharp cries came from within the golden rays, and then there was no more sound.

At this moment, the black mecha below finally lowered its hands, released the spell seal, and the rain of golden rays spraying from the ground also disappeared without a trace immediately.

Only the golden Chicken Pheasant Beast remained in mid-air, still firmly fixed on the metal spikes.

At this moment, the beast's body, along with the three metal spikes, had long since become riddled with holes, with no intact place left. Strands of green blood flowed down along the three long metal spikes incessantly.

On the largest forum of "Star River," a video titled "Mysterious Mecha, Single-handedly Slays Chicken Pheasant Beast Leader" was pushed to the top position, with countless clicks and comments below.

And other topics related to the mysterious black mecha were also ranked right below the video.

"Is the black mecha really a Earth Dragon basic model?" "The true identity of the mysterious mecha pilot?" "Is the black mecha a star-level mecha?" "Several conjectures about the mysterious mecha pilot's ability to control metal"...

Under other forums related to "Star River," there were also people arguing and discussing related topics fiercely.

For a time, most players of "Star River" were discussing the black mecha and the mysterious mecha pilot.

The two were like a gust of wind, stirring up the entire "Star River" game.

In front of a private hangar rented out at the only international airport in Peng Jie City.

A small passenger plane had just landed. As soon as the cabin door was opened, a team of more than a dozen burly men and women walked out.

These people were all wearing black suits and sunglasses, either carrying cases in their hands or long packages on their backs.

The beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes leading them, expressionless, was precisely "Helena."

"Captain, look at this video."

As soon as "Helena" walked down the stairs, a burly man who had been waiting there for a long time hurriedly handed over a mobile phone and said respectfully.

"Helena" took the phone and scanned it. The black mecha video playing on the screen made her expression change slightly. After watching it, she asked coldly:

"Is the mecha pilot in the game confirmed to be Number One?"

"Professionals have already analyzed it. Based on the abilities displayed by this mecha pilot and the time of appearance, the probability of it being Number One is over seventy percent," the burly man replied immediately.

"Seventy percent is enough. Immediately send people into the game to the base where this person is located and find this person," "Helena" ordered without hesitation.

"Yes, the subordinate will arrange for people to handle this matter right away. In addition, other suspects in Peng Jie City have been screened. Now only the last and most likely suspect remains, but the scope has been narrowed down to the south district of the city. I believe we can find this person's residence within a day," the burly man continued to say respectfully.

"Good. Arrange a place for us to stay in the south district and be prepared to take action at any time.

Remember, the faster, the better. I received news on the plane that the Martial God team dispatched from Huaguo has already logged into Xierde. It will probably be a matter of these two days for them to arrive here. We must beat them to it," "Helena" said coldly. ===== CHAPTER 425 =====
