Chapter 362: Desperate Journey
What kind of creature is that?
It fell from the sky, like a creature created by God, cold and powerful.
Even with the heavy rain falling from the sky , the falling body could be clearly seen in the dark night.
It was not until he was about a hundred meters above the ground that Moser activated the reverse thrust, and brilliant beams of energy spurted out from his back and legs. With a bang, the speed of descent suddenly slowed down, but the speed of lateral movement increased dramatically, quickly closing the distance with Su Xia.
"Masked man, do you see me?"
His cold voice was like the god of death, overwhelming the thunder in the sky and constantly echoing in Su Xia's ears.
Su Xia tensed his muscles and got ready.
This time the collision is unavoidable!
He took a deep breath and summoned thousands of tiny metal fragments from the storage space without any reservation.
The speed of both of them reached the extreme, turning into two afterimages, breaking through layer of rain curtains, and slamming into each other in this crazy night.
“Boom——!”
With the collision point as the center, the entire world instantly erupted with a terrifying shock wave, rushing in all directions. Metal fragments flew backwards and rain rolled back from the sky. The scene was shocking.
Looking down from a high altitude, a hemispherical gap appeared directly in the collision area, like a giant bowl upside down on the ground, as if a big explosion had occurred and everything was excluded in an instant.
After the explosion, even the air was squeezed out.
This is Mercer's most powerful attack.
Air explosion!
Su Xia groaned and felt severe pain all over her body, as if it was about to split apart.
His face turned pale, he felt suffocated, and could hardly breathe any air. The area within a hundred meters instantly became an extreme negative pressure environment, and even the only gas in his chest was about to be squeezed out uncontrollably.
"Bang……"
He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, rolling for dozens of meters before stopping. He was covered in mud and looked miserable.
As soon as the two of them collided, he suffered a great loss.
This is the first time they have fought.
Because he had been in the dark before, and with his terrifying computing ability, Mercer had a firm grasp on the rhythm of the battle and the initiative was on his side.
After a second or two, the impact ended and the heavy rain from the sky began to fall again.
“Clatter… clatter…”
The rain once again beat on the muddy ground, and the air from outside rushed in again, filling the gap in this area.
Su Xia stood up with a serious look on his face and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He was injured. All his internal organs had been shaken to varying degrees by the previous attack, especially his lungs. Now every breath he took felt as painful as a knife cutting.
If it weren't for the protection of the layers of metal fragments, this blow would be enough to kill him.
Fortunately, he has become a level five creature. If it were his previous psychic power strength, he would definitely not be able to withstand this fatal blow.
Boom boom...
There were thunder and lightning in the sky.
Moser's eyes were cold as he floated under the sky, and the cold rain streaked across his gray-black body.
He did not give Su Xia any time to breathe, his speed increased dramatically, and he launched the next attack on Su Xia almost instantly.
“Buzz——”
His extremely fast body turned into an afterimage, and he knocked out a clear passage in the rainstorm. He was imposing and unstoppable.
Su Xia's expression changed, and with an idea in his mind, he summoned thousands of metal fragments again.
He opened his five fingers and clenched them from a distance towards Moser who was approaching quickly.
Metal blasting!
In an instant, countless metal fragments between the two people exploded, with sharp explosions and flying debris.
This was a terrifying roar without fire or smoke!
Countless debris are flying in the sky, like gorgeous butterflies, flashing deadly light and shadow in the tears, beautiful and violent.
If an ordinary person rushed towards him, he would probably be riddled with holes in an instant and turned into a pool of broken bones and flesh.
But Mercer looked indifferent, without dodging or evading, and instantly crashed into the deadly metal rain.
Ding ding ding——
Those deadly fragments hit his hard body, spinning, cutting, bombarding, and even turning into smaller powders in the explosion, trying to penetrate into his body.
Unfortunately, everything is in vain.
“Boom!”
He rushed out of the cage of metal debris without slowing down, like a mad dragon, and collided with Su Xia again.
The shock wave raged, destroying everything in its path. The earth cracked and collapsed, as if the entire world was in turmoil. A terrifying aura surged and rolled, and the surroundings seemed to have ushered in the end of destruction.
The rain was heavy and the shock waves had not yet stopped, as if a huge wave had been set off in the ocean of rain.
In the fierce and violent impact, Su Xia flew backwards again, his fragile body was like a rag doll, almost impossible to control.
But this time he did not fall to the ground. After rolling several times in the air, he stabilized his body and finally landed with ease.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Su Xia coughed violently several times, each time coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, and it felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Such a violent collision is quite unfair to the flesh and blood body.
But this is a battle of life and death, there is no question of fairness.
In the face of the world-destroying impact, Moser also retreated a long distance.
But Mercer was obviously less affected than Su Xia. He quickly stabilized his body and did not give Su Xia too much time to breathe. His speed increased again!
Air explosion!
The same trick, used for the third time.
He had unparalleled momentum and astonishing fighting spirit, like an unstoppable overlord, and the energy fluctuations surging through his body became stronger and stronger.
"boom--!"
The violent impact seemed endless, rolling out and stirring in all directions. It was so terrifying that even the thunder in the sky was suppressed!
If this attack had occurred in an area where humans gather, I wonder how many ordinary people would have died.
Fortunately, this is a wilderness on the outskirts of the city, with only endless dead grass and bushes.
The crazy impact surged past, destroying everything. Grass leaves along the way were shattered, dead trees were shattered, the earth continued to crack, and no creature hidden underground was spared. Every inch of soil was wailing.
When the impact was over, there was only devastation all around, and the smell of death drifted in the wind.
"cough……"
Su Xia's face was pale. He stood on the ground of death, his chest rising and falling, and drops of blood dripped from his pale fingertips.
After three impacts, his psychic shield was shattered three times and it was almost impossible to condense.
He always knew that Mercer was strong, but he never thought Mercer was this strong.
When he looked at Mercer, he could still only see many descriptions of "?".
Last time in Coral City, he had hoped that Fan Lu could force out Moser's trump card, but who would have thought that Fan Lu was so vulnerable and was no match for Moser at all.
At that time, Mercer was too lazy to even use the skill of "air explosion".
You know, Mercer is just one of the trusted subordinates of the Mechanical Lord, but he already possesses almost invincible power. How powerful is that legendary Lord?
"Masked man, what are you thinking about?" Mercer suddenly stopped attacking.
He was suspended in the rain, his expression indifferent, looking at Su Xia on the ground as if he was looking down at an ant.
Su Xia smiled faintly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said to him: "I was wondering why you were so willing to make a special clone."
"Oh? Do you think this body of mine is made for you?" Mercer shook his head slowly.
"It seems I was wrong." Su Xia looked at him and asked, "Is your body made of... new materials?"
"You can understand it that way."
Mercer said calmly: "Breakthroughs in materials science are more complicated than you think, but I have unlimited time and energy to experiment."
"Without any metal, how can you solve the problem of efficient information transmission in your body?" Su Xia asked again.
Yes, the body of Mercer that appeared in front of Su Xia now was very different from the Mercer in Coral City.
There is nothing metal in this body.
This is also why Su Xia cannot use the same methods to deal with Mercer as he did with other mechanical creatures.
It is feasible to use plastic to replace the alloy shell of the mechanical family. The technology of this world is fully capable of doing it. Even the Earth proposed plans such as "plastic instead of steel" and "plastic instead of wood" many years ago.
The new special plastics have strength, impact resistance, tear resistance, etc. that surpass ordinary alloys, and are lighter than alloys, with many advantages.
Not only the outer shell, but also the small internal parts, such as screws, hinges, connecting rods, transmissions, etc., can all be replaced by plastic.
But, there is one most important question...
What to do with the internal chip?
There are so-called plastic chips on Earth, but they only use plastic instead of silicon as the raw material for semiconductors, and the integrated components on them still require metal.
"Is this what you are thinking about?" asked Mercer.
"Well, are you going to answer it?" Su Xia asked him.
"Masked Stranger, I suddenly understand why you are so pathetic."
"What?"
"You don't know how big the gap is between the human race and the mechanical race now. Do you think it's just a difference in military strength?" Moser looked down at Su Xia and said indifferently without any fluctuation in his tone.
He slowly raised his hand, and rays of light intertwined in the palm of his hand, and finally slowly turned into a translucent, slightly blue projection object similar to a brain.
It can be seen that in that object, there are many divergent, almost transparent fine silk threads, as well as some whitish flocs. In addition, countless tiny twinkling spots can be seen, like beautiful stars.
"Mimetic nerves, you can think of it as a simulated biological brain." Mercer said, raising his hand.
"It's actually like this." Su Xia suddenly realized that this was indeed a technology he had never thought of. After all, he was just an ordinary college student.
"What you think of is just a specific product of human technology at a certain stage, but you think that is the end point, so you are pathetic."
Moser looked indifferent, as if he felt sorry for Su Xia's narrow knowledge, and he specially explained it for him.
He raised his hand and gently clenched it, and the beautiful brain-shaped projection on the palm of his hand disappeared.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the distant sky: "Merser, I gave you the power to intervene in this matter so that you can get rid of the masked weirdo as soon as possible, instead of chatting with him here!"
Someone else is coming!
There was a buzzing sound, and a grayish-white figure cut through the sky.
The creature was also extremely fast, faster than those air superiority combat robots in the sky. It broke through the clouds and arrived not far away in a few flashes of lightning and thunder.
Todd, the real leader of this hunting incident!
He is the representative of the Mechanical Clan who came to Seahorse City. He is at the same level as Mercer, and both are the most trusted subordinates of the Overlord.
In fact, Moser and Su Xia didn't say much, just half a minute, but he couldn't wait any longer.
He was suspended in the rainstorm, his eyes were cold, he swept across Su Xia's body, and said lightly: "Masked Stranger, we finally meet."
Su Xia shrugged: "Who are you?"
"Kill your people!"
"Merser is going to kill me too, or you two can have a fight."
"You're really stubborn!"
Todd snorted coldly, increased his speed dramatically, and rushed straight down.
They started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement!
Su Xia became alert, felt a chill on his spine, and his hair stood on end. He quickly stepped back.
This Todd's strength seems to be no weaker than Mercer's, and he is even more ruthless, aiming to kill people with every strike.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
More than a dozen thumb-sized bombs popped out from the honeycomb-shaped launcher on his back. They were of different colors and seemed to be two different types of bombs. They flew straight in the direction where Su Xia might escape.
A moment later, the dozen or so bombs exploded simultaneously, making a shocking roar.
Even though Su Xia had run far enough, he was still affected a little.
"hiss……"
A terrifying and sharp sound wave hit his body, as if it was going to tear his eardrums, making his brain dizzy and his eyes black, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot.
"Masked Stranger, is this all your strength?"
Todd shouted coldly, and without giving Su Xia any time to react, he attacked again.
His speed increased again, and this time he disappeared on the spot. A blue light flashed at his original place, and the next moment he flashed dozens of meters away and came directly in front of Su Xia.
This is his talent - flash!
An ability that is almost a bug!
Without preparation, it is difficult for anyone to defend against it.
“Crack!”
A bone-crushing blow!
This is Todd's advanced skill, which instantly penetrated the metal layer protecting Su Xia.
The psychic shield outside Su Xia's body was shattered again, as if it was made of glass, and was so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow from the attack of advanced creatures.
Of course, it was mainly because the spiritual energy in his body was consumed too quickly. The boots of speed he wore were like a bottomless pit, absorbing huge amounts of energy every moment, which was almost impossible to satisfy.
In order to supply this pair of boots, Su Xia could not even use his skills a few times.
But if he didn't use this pair of boots, he wouldn't be able to compete with Mercer and Todd in terms of speed. Those two guys had countless boosters all over their bodies.
At the critical moment, Su Xia remained extremely calm and detonated all the metal fragments around him again.
“Boom…”
At such a close distance, thousands of metal fragments exploded, and the entire space seemed to be compressed in an instant, and then suddenly burst outward, surging away, with unparalleled sharpness and amazing power.
At such a close distance, the two were almost face to face, and Todd had no way of avoiding it.
However, a blue light flashed where he was, and then flashed dozens of meters away again, like a strange assassin, avoiding the center of the storm.
Su Xia knew that she could not hurt Todd, so she turned around and ran.
“Crack!”
He opened a refill potion, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp to satisfy his bottomless need.
Behind him, Todd sneered, his voice coming from far away.
"Run! Masked Stranger, keep running!"
