MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 266 orbital bombing

Chapter 266 Orbital Bombing

“I didn’t expect that the first time I came to another planet would be like this.”

 “Not much different from the earth.”

Ji Xinghuo stood on the top of a mountain.

The sky is cloudless and clear. A bright and warm sun hangs in the sky, and three moons of different sizes and shapes can be seen.

Looking ahead, there is an endless forest in the distance. There is green grass at the foot of the mountain and colorful flowers in bloom. It is so beautiful. When the breeze blows, the branches and leaves wave like waves, bringing a refreshing fragrance of flowers, as if you are in a fairyland.

It’s hard to believe that such beautiful natural scenery hides deadly dangers.

 The air is highly toxic, even sunlight.

Although the Jingying tribe said that this was only for them and that other races could breathe, Ji Xinghuo did not dare to breathe in a breath of air.

 The inner circulation belt is always on.

He glanced back. The elevator exit was hidden on the rock wall. After it was closed, it was blocked by a layer of camouflaged stone slabs.

 The mountain at the foot is not high, less than a thousand meters, and there is a lot of vegetation growing there.

　　Electromagnetic induction scanned the entire mountain peak and found many strange flowers, plants and trees, but no trace of beasts or monsters. It was completely silent.

 However, this is just an appearance.

The biggest illusion on the Earthly Abyss is the plants. All plants contain hidden dangers. They may look safe one second, but turn into deadly traps the next.

 “Stay away from the exit first to avoid exposure.”

Ji Xinghuo jumped slightly, the magnetic field in his body rotated, and he controlled the magnetic star core to reverse the magnetic pole, repelling the magnetic field of the Diyuan Star and letting himself fly.

 He did not fly too high. Flying in a magnetic field consumes too much star power.

 The higher you fly, the greater the consumption.

Ji Xinghuo landed in a clearing a few kilometers away.

It is surrounded by tall forests. From top to bottom, due to the difference in light intensity, it is divided into several distinct levels. There are many strange plants that have never been seen before, such as vines, flowers, ferns, etc. The ecology is rich and colorful. It's so complicated that I can't even recognize it with my shallow knowledge of botany.

 “Alien plants, it’s normal if you don’t recognize them.”

“Earth’s botanists will probably be dumbfounded when they get here.” Ji Xinghuo thought.

 He chose a random direction to move forward.

 This is a first-level area, relatively safe. But Ji Xinghuo only walked a few hundred meters when he felt strange, as if he was being spied on.

 There is no enemy found in the electromagnetic induction.

"strangeness…"

Ji Xinghuo never thought that this was his illusion. Ever since he got the Vientiane Star Pupil, his premonitions had never been wrong.

 He is more cautious, and electromagnetic induction surrounds him at all times.

 However, after walking for several hours, the sun had set on the western horizon, and it would be dark in half an hour at most, but Ji Xinghuo did not encounter any danger.

 Hence, I didn’t encounter any other Eternal Day Guards either.

 He also ate some fruit, which tasted good and felt like he was on an outing.

 “Go into shelter before nightfall.”

The Yongzhi badge projected a satellite map. Ji Xinghuo found the nearest underground shelter, more than thirty kilometers away, and planned a route.

 The Abyss Star at night will be even more dangerous.

 Because the satellites in the sky cannot detect the changes of monsters on the ground at night, they can warn the Everlasting Day Guards in time. No matter which level the area is, the level of danger at night will rise by one level. Level one becomes level two, level three becomes level four, and so on.

The Jingying clan has built underground shelters all over the world to allow the Everlasting Day Guards to stay safely overnight.

 The sky is getting dark.

Ji Xinghuo was still more than ten kilometers away from the shelter when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head to look north and saw a cloud moving on the horizon. Because the sky was getting darker and darker, I had not noticed anything wrong before. But now I took a closer look and realized that it was not a cloud.

 It's a group of "bats".

They have a bird-like appearance, with gray-white wings about one meter wide, a smooth dark green body, and a slender tail trailing behind them. The tip of the tail emits fluorescence like a firefly. With a slight flapping of its wings, it can catch the wind in the sky. gliding.

 “Spore bat!”

Ji Xinghuo recognized it immediately, and then his scalp went numb.

He has seen introductions to this half-plant, half-animal monster on the forum. One of them alone is not much stronger than the ordinary monsters in the star world, and some are worse than monsters.

 But spore bats never appear alone, they always come in groups, at least hundreds.

However, this cloud composed of spore bats is thousands of meters wide and stretches for several kilometers in length, and is connected with the real clouds in the sky.

 The number is at least 100,000!

 “Fuck!”

Ji Xinghuo screamed and turned around in fright, running towards the underground shelter in the forest.

 He ran at full speed, the rotating magnetic field consumed star power crazily, and he could stride five or six meters with each step. His whole body was like a bolt of lightning, knocking away all the flowers, plants and trees in front of him.

 The shelter is getting closer, but so are the swarms of spore bats in the sky.

 “It should be in time.”

Ji Xinghuo judged the distance between the two sides and could enter the underground shelter about half a minute before the birds attacked.

 When he was less than three kilometers away from the entrance of the shelter, his eyes froze.

 Ahead, the ground in the forest tumbles.

 Green figures broke through the soil one by one and stood up one after another. They are like standing mantises, about two meters tall, with a shape similar to humans. Their limbs are all segmented, wearing chitin armor, their arms are a pair of huge serrated knives, and their heads are ferocious.

 Saw-toothed mantis!

This kind of insect-shaped monster is very common on the Abyss planet and is much stronger than the spore bat.

 In just a few seconds, there were more than a hundred saw-toothed mantises blocking the road.

Ji Xinghuo did not slow down his running speed. As soon as he spotted the Sawtooth Mantis, he held the crystal light gun in his hand, aimed forward and fired.

 咻咻咻…

 The rays of light flashed by the naked eye, like thin blue lines, and disappeared in a flash.

 The beam instantly shot out several saw-toothed mantises.

At the same time, other saw-toothed mantises brandished sharp blades and rushed over one after another. Ji Xinghuo was unfazed and kept firing with his crystal light gun.

　　Overclocking thinking has been turned on, and the world has slowed down in his eyes.

 The crystal gun body in his hand flowed with energy, and the beam shot into the forest like splashing water. Each laser beam can kill at least one saw-toothed mantis. Under the high-temperature beam, these insect-like monsters are as fragile as paper. After the beam penetrates, it continues to kill the saw-toothed mantis behind.

While running wildly, the saw-toothed mantis fell piece by piece.

 The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

 Soon, Ji Xinghuo aimed his gun straight ahead, kept firing for a few seconds, opened a gap in the group of monsters, and then rushed over.

 He raised his head and looked to the north. The spore bats were less than a kilometer away from him.

While firing to kill the surrounding saw-toothed mantises, he rushed to the foot of a low hill. The Everlasting Day Badge signaled, and the soil on the hill slipped away, revealing a hole.

Ji Xinghuo immediately rushed in and found the identity verification panel on the cave wall.

"Block them." He threw Qinghong out and landed at the entrance of the cave. His body expanded and blocked the entrance, and he opened his mouth to face the saw-toothed mantis rushing outside.

 Boom!

Qinghong fired out a thunder hand, and the huge lightning swept across a hundred meters, burning dozens of saw-toothed mantises into ashes.

  Ji Xinghuo Yongzhou badge passed the verification and opened a channel.

"return!"

Qinghong immediately shrank and jumped into his hand. He stepped into the passage in a flash. The heavy alloy gate fell, and the elevator car immediately sank quickly.

A few seconds after the passage was closed, an overwhelming swarm of spore bats flew into the cave. They used their bodies to squeeze the entire cave into water, and then they all exploded like sauce, releasing countless green venom, flooding every inch of space in the cave. .

Outside the cave, tens of thousands of spore bats were hovering on the hills, lining up to rush into the cave and explode themselves.

 Bang bang bang…

Ji Xinghuo was in the elevator when he heard the sound coming from above, which didn't stop for a second, like raindrops.

"horrible…"

This is how the Spore Bat attacks. It flies to the target and then explodes.

Even if this kind of self-destruction cannot penetrate one's own holy scale armor, being blown up tens of thousands of times will probably take away half of one's life.

 “Fortunately, I ran fast enough.”

"Is this actually a first-level area?" Ji Xinghuo knew how dangerous higher-level areas could be.

 The elevator quickly descended to the bottom, then passed through a gate and entered a hall with an area of ​​about 200 square meters.

As he entered, the light brightened. There were lounges, food storage rooms, weapons rooms, and equipment used to communicate with the Jingying tribe.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

This shelter is about three hundred meters above the ground. Coming down from the elevator shaft and passage, the walls and floor of the entire underground space are made of alloy. It is more than ten meters thick and has sufficient internal energy. It is like a fully enclosed fortress, like a monster. There's no way to get in.

 Until then, Ji Xinghuo had time to open the Wanxiang Xingpu interface.

  【Spiritual energy: 323】

 He watched the mental source energy still rising, but every time the number jumped, it was +1+1+1... This was the mental source energy he obtained after the spore bat self-destructed and died.

 Among them, the Sawtooth Mantis was also killed by the spore bat's self-explosion, but the spiritual energy they gave was only 1 point.

"so little…"

"strangeness."

Ji Xinghuo was a little puzzled. There was a level difference between the Sawtooth Mantis and the Spore Bat. Logically speaking, there are differences in the spiritual energy that the two can obtain, but the results are the same.

Electromagnetic induction enveloped the top of the shelter, and the spore bat swarm was quickly dispersing.

Suddenly, several huge beams of light fell from the sky, bombarding the spore bats and razing the forests around the hills to the ground.

 The earth shook, and the shelters shook.

This is the space-based weapon of the Jingying Tribe, a turbolaser cannon launched into a low-altitude orbit.

 “What a quick fire support!”

Ji Xinghuo sighed, guessing that his positioning chip triggered the Jingying tribe's alert. When he entered the shelter, the laser cannons on the orbit immediately opened fire, bombing the enemy. The spore bats also knew they would be bombed, so they dispersed in time.

However, the orbital laser cannon still caused a lot of damage.

  The value of the spiritual source of energy jumps crazily.

 Although it is still +1+1, it only increases by 1 point each time, but the increase is frequent enough and fast enough, and it exceeds 5,000 points of spiritual energy in the blink of an eye.

More spore bats died outside the absorption range, and the spiritual source energy stopped when it reached about 5500 points.

"Not bad!"

  Ji Xinghuo is already very satisfied.

On the first day you come to Diyuan Star, you can harvest more than 5,000 spiritual energy, which is quite good.

 These spiritual sources can be kept for now. He can activate the Eternal Day Badge and check his achievements. The Jingying clan said that the positioning chip will automatically detect the enemies killed and record the merits obtained. Although they don't know the principle, it should be very reliable.

Ji Xinghuo quickly saw the value of his meritorious service.

 “It’s only 5 o’clock.”

Previously, when he was browsing forum posts, he knew that Yongzhi meritorious deeds were difficult to obtain, and the Jingying tribe’s statistical method was very harsh.

 Each monster has a corresponding numerical value.

 Spore bats and saw-toothed mantises are the most common monsters, and they can obtain very few merits. You need to kill 120 spore bats to get 1 point of eternal day merit, and you have to kill 24 sawtooth mantises to get 1 point of merit.

 And it must be killed by yourself.

The spore bat killed by the orbital cannon just now has no merit.

Others, such as 12 thorn balls, 18 thorn snakes, 24 wolf soul trees, 24 swamp crawlers, 6 ogre flowers, etc., these common monsters on the Abyss planet are only It can be counted as 1 point of eternal merit.

  The mathematics of the Jingying Tribe is hexadecimal, so the number of each monster must be a multiple of 6.

　　Compared to the number of monsters, the degree of danger is much higher than the gain.

 “It’s so dark…”

Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

 No wonder everyone bid at the rare treasure auction house and gave so few Eternal Day Merits. The value of 1 point of Eternal Day Merits is comparable to an ether crystal.

 I don’t know how many Eternal Sun Guards have lost their lives in order to gain merit.

Eternal Merits cannot be traded.

  The more merits accumulated, the Eternal Day Guard will be promoted and receive some permissions and benefits, such as upgrading to a blue crystal badge, reducing handling fees, or purchasing treasures that are not sold in the rare auction house.

The starting price for the Heavenly Diamond I want is 55 Ether Crystals + 100 Eternal Merits. The transaction price will definitely more than double, and I will have to fight on the Abyss for at least a month or two. There are also cloned twins, other weapons and equipment, and the adventure will take longer.

"take it easy."

Ji Xinghuo ate something and went into the lounge to sleep.

There are only about 15 hours in a day on Diyuan Star. It gets bright soon. Electromagnetic induction detects that there are no monsters outside. Ji Xinghuo takes the elevator up.

The floor and walls of the cave were covered with a thick layer of venom, which was stinky and disgusting.

 Luckily, Ji Xinghuo didn't need to breathe now and flew out directly.

Outside, there are several large pits with a diameter of tens of meters on the ground around the hills, but no corpses of spore bats and saw-toothed mantises can be seen. In just one night, the vegetation in the distance grew again. In the pits created by the bombing, there were already Roots and green leaves emerged.

 “This vitality is so tenacious!”

Ji Xinghuo was secretly shocked.

In less than two or three days, the traces of the railgun bombing will disappear and return to a forest.

 Opening the satellite map to identify the direction, Ji Xinghuo decided on today's itinerary and continued to set off. This time, he didn't go far before he encountered a monster.
