Chapter 48 NO.0030: Add some difficulty

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a sound like cracking brocade, the saw-toothed limbs wielded by the metal spider flashed with cold light, and fell towards Liao Qi, who was facing it like a soul-sucking scythe of death.

The latter, just before the sharp blade was about to cut him in half, turned sideways.

He almost rubbed the tip of his nose to avoid this fatal blow.

"Crack!"

"laugh--"

The missing limbs of the metal spider easily pulled out a neat trace on the floor, just like cutting through paper.

Taking advantage of the gap in the opponent's attack, Liao Qi broke into the blind spot where the opponent's limbs could not reach, and fired with the "Scorpio" in his hand almost against the opponent's shell.

The high-energy pulse beam instantly burned the opponent's smooth metal shell into a patch of charred black. But just when the pulse was focused and wanted to burn through the opponent's armor in one go, it bounced up like a jumping spider, and instantly

Jumped to the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

Without continuous burning, Scorpio's high-energy pulse only left a discontinuous black mark on the opponent's shell and joints.

Danger!

On the other side, the moment the metal spider jumped up, a chill as if the god of death was blowing on the back of Liao Qi's neck.

It was the premonition of danger brought to him by the edge enhancement system!

At this moment, even though the opponent's limbs could not reach him, Liao Qi followed his danger instinct and chose to dodge immediately.

He bent his knees and jumped, and the "grasshopper" type strengthened the elasticity of his tendons to launch him like a cannonball.

This allowed him to avoid the opponent's fatal sneak attack.

A silver afterimage sprayed out from the tip of the opponent's fusiform body, hitting the spot where Liao Qi was 0.3 seconds ago.

There, a plaster statue placed in his stead was struck.

The silver afterimage instantly bounced off into a metal net before hitting the plaster statue, capturing it. The remaining kinetic energy it carried even flew to the center of the hall with the plaster statue until they hit it.

On the ancient textile machine, the weaving cloth was stirred up with dust before it stopped completely.

After stopping, the metal mesh immediately began to shrink rapidly like a deflating balloon.

The sharp metal grid shrank into a ball of crumpled metal in a few breaths. At the same time, it also divided the plaster statue in the grid into "building blocks" scattered all over the "paradox"

"The side of the body.

Regarding this, "Paradox" just looked down at the plaster blocks on the floor indifferently...

He didn't even dare to express his anger.

Let me control the scale of the battlefield!

If possible, Jiang Zhou would even want to shout these words out.

Just a little bit.

I was really just a little bit close to hitting myself!

Jiang Zhou, who was sitting in front of the textile machine, looked calm on the surface at the moment, but deep down he was afraid.

After taking a few long breaths calmly, he forced himself not to look down at the blocks again.

For now, he must maintain an unwavering master posture.

Well, I didn't even bother to pay attention to the attack that almost affected him before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou turned his attention to Booker.

At this moment, Booker jumped up high - several jets with blue tail flames extended out from the carapace of his calves, causing him to dodge in an extremely tortuous trajectory in mid-air.

The metal spider sprayed several more metal webs towards him.

Then, Booker opened his right hand towards the opponent - at this moment, his right hand transformed into a focused energy microwave transmitter.

In an instant, as if electricity was flowing through it, countless dazzling electric sparks bloomed on the metal spider's body.

The "cracking" sound of electric shocks continued to explode, and the smell of ozone simulating ionized air filled the hall.

However, after the arcing phenomenon ended, the metal spider hanging upside down on the crystal ceiling was still unscathed.

Not even a bit of blackening was left.

F*ck, Booker, aren’t you a seasoned adjuster for Depth 3? Work harder!

Feeling the gap between such a strong performance and such a crotch-stretching record, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Hissssssssssssssssssssssss-"

(I will kill them all and leave you to torture for the last time)

At this moment, a metal spider with the scientific name "Arachne II Stalker" threatened Jiang Zhou.

In this regard, Jiang Zhou just controlled Liao Qi and used Scorpio to shoot at the opponent's twinkling "eyes" to draw his attention away from him.

The metal spider jumped up and rushed towards Liao Qi again.

At the same time, Liao Qi's communication channel received Booker's message.

"We need to make a bigger hole in that guy."

He said so.

At this moment, Booker's right arm popped out of the radiator, and white steam was hissing in the air.

His main weapon, the "Chef" type microwave launcher, is an extremely efficient anti-personnel weapon that can explode the enemy's brain into popcorn from a few hundred meters away under cover and through the skull.

But when dealing with this kind of hard-shell autonomous machinery, even if it is fired at full power, it can only trigger a burst of very beautiful electric sparks.

"I can burn out the opponent's core circuit, but the opponent's metal shell is equivalent to a Faraday cage, isolating the destructive power of microwaves."

Booker continued.

Following his words, the monomolecular samurai sword in Liao Qi's hand quickly transformed into something that looked like a pile driver.

And because there are insufficient parts, it is only a mini model.

At the same time, the Aegis module on Booker continued to deform. The armor on many non-vital parts even fell off, and eventually transformed into a huge nail gun on his left hand.

"So, we need to open the can first."

He said so.

…

For their subsequent confrontation, in Jiang Zhou's native perception, he could only see a few afterimages ejected in the hall, and hear the constant clanging sound of weapons clashing.

Of course, from Liao Qi's perspective, he could still keep up with the rhythm of this battle very intuitively.

This feeling is very strange, as if two displays are playing a movie at the same time, except that one display is 120 frames 8K, and the other is 10 frames 320P.

But no matter what, the fight that lasted less than a minute left the whole hall in a mess, as if a tornado carrying countless files had been raging through it.

They left countless high-energy pulse bullet holes and steel nails penetrated by nail guns on the ground, ceiling, and walls...

There are traces of the destruction of their battles everywhere.

During this period, Booker and Liao Qi tried their best to leave a deep enough opening in the shell of the metal spider.

Booker's reaction and speed are superior to Liao Qi's, but because he lacks a keen intuition for threats, he has been using the nail gun deformed by Aegis to perform suppressive shooting at medium and short ranges.

But most of the steel nails were blocked by the opponent's airtight joints, and only a few nails hit the opponent.

There is no way to expand the results.

In close combat, Liao Qi, who possesses an intuition of danger that is almost like a sixth sense, constantly closes the distance and rushes into the blind spots where the opponent's limbs cannot reach to fight.

The mid-range and long-range net guns and the eight short-range sharp joints are both fatal threats to Liao Qi. Only keeping a close distance is the safest for him.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, this battle appears to be an extremely strange scene - a depth 1 adjuster looks like he is chasing this depth 2 malicious program.

Got it!

Once again, they closed the distance under cover, and this time, Liao Qi finally found a flaw.

He inserted the pile driver-like thing in his hand into the steel nail that Booker had previously driven into the opponent's shell.

"Buzz——"

Under the violent vibrations of the pile driver, the steel nail buried deep in the armor instantly exploded into a flower of steel.

And the flower of steel directly opened a plate-sized hole on the opponent's armor, revealing the complex internal structure under the carapace.

"enough."

Booker's voice echoed in the communication channel.

Next, he only needs to keep the distance and wait for Booker to fire another full-power microwave to destroy all its internal circuits.

But at this time, perhaps realizing that he would inevitably retreat, the metal spider screamed again.
To be continued...
