Chapter 575 Enduring a Main Cannon?! (Part 1) (Thanks to the Bizarre One for the 100,000 Reward!)
Han Xiao tensed up instantly. The main cannon's power far exceeded that of ordinary ship-mounted light cannons. With the size of the DarkStar mothership, a single shot on a planet could at least carve out a crater. Using it against him alone was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!
Was I pushing Degulish too hard...? Han Xiao couldn't help but reflect.
I should have restrained myself. I should have screamed loudly just now, pretending that Degulish's attack had caused me immense damage. After all, he at least tried hard! If I didn't react at all, it would hurt his self-esteem too much!
He's a Calamity Grade at least, he has his pride!
Han Xiao wasn't sure how much damage a main cannon shot would do to him. Although his own tankiness had been tested in actual combat, he still felt uncertain and uneasy facing a starfaring weapon of the mothership's main cannon level.
The nemesis of fast health regeneration is explosive damage output, such as Ames' unreasonable Longtan throw. As long as the damage exceeds the rate of health regeneration, he would be finished.
The mothership main cannon clearly belonged to the category of high damage. Although it was far from being a weapon of the planet-destroying level, its power was still very fierce. If a general Calamity Grade didn't use their ability and only used their Qi to defend, the result of withstanding a main cannon shot would probably be shattered to pieces. If they were lucky, they might be able to leave behind some charred meat chunks.
So...
Only a fool would stay to take the shot!
Without saying a word, Han Xiao put on the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit, which had recovered some durability, and flew into the sky.
BlackLight Stealth dived down, preparing to receive Han Xiao.
"Leave him to me!" Ash ignored the rapidly approaching players, raised his hand, and countless black tides turned into countless grasping hands, reaching for Han Xiao.
However, the speed of the black tide couldn't match the speed of the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit flying at full power.
At that moment, Degulish's forehead bulged with veins. He stomped on the ground with both legs, shattering the ground within a few hundred meters, and rushed to the top of Han Xiao's head like a stream of light with super explosive force, almost teleporting. His whole body's aura soared into the sky, gathering in his fist into a spinning vortex, blooming with dazzling light. This was his Martial Dao skill, and Han Xiao had been hit by this move more than once just now.
Han Xiao only had time to raise his arms when the fist bursting with strong light hit the center of his crossed arms.
Bang!!
It was as if a bright purple sun had exploded in mid-air!
A burst of majestic force struck, and Han Xiao, in mid-air without a point of support, saw BlackLight Stealth rapidly moving away from him. Then, a violent impact and vibration came from his back. His whole person broke through the earth and kept falling, and earth and rocks quickly filled his vision. The sky in his field of vision was only a small dot.
This explosive punch sent Han Xiao from the sky into the ground, buried who knew how many meters deep.
His arms were sore and weak, and the [Fracture] status appeared on the interface. Han Xiao secretly marveled at the fist strength of a Calamity Grade Martial Daoist, while stimulating Qi to proliferate cells and quickly repair the damage.
The fractures of the bones were connected together under the squeezing of the muscles, and cells proliferated, connecting the bones in the blink of an eye.
Cell proliferation could repair damage to any part of the body. As long as he consciously repaired his body, negative statuses such as fractures and disabilities could also be restored while regenerating health. This was an incidental effect that Han Xiao had discovered when he was besieged just now, otherwise his bones would have been completely shattered.
Dong dong dong—
Before he could catch his breath, the soil above his head exploded again. Degulish directly smashed the ground in this area, and the force of his fist penetrated the ground, like a human-shaped bulldozer.
Han Xiao didn't want to be buried alive, so he crashed out of the falling gravel, and Ash's black tide hit him again, hindering him for a moment.
"Got you!"
Degulish rushed forward, wrapped his arms around Han Xiao's waist, quickly changed his position to behind Han Xiao, formed a lock with both hands, and wanted to use his strength to suppress and restrict Han Xiao's movements, determined not to let Han Xiao escape, and insisted on letting him take a shot.
In a contest of Strength, Han Xiao was indeed no match for a Calamity Grade Martial Daoist, and he didn't want to play wrestling with Degulish at all.
Swish—
At this time, Tai Li seized the opportunity to strike, and several metal sheets stretched out, stabbing at Han Xiao's eyes, throat, heart, and other vital parts.
Dang dang dang!
Two Oathkeepers stood in front of him, unfolding their shields to block them. Each time they received [Scrap Modification], the quality of the mechs would decrease by one level. The two Oathkeepers didn't resist for long before being pierced by the metal sheets, but they had bought Han Xiao some time.
Han Xiao fully activated the mechanical suit's propulsion module, taking Degulish into the sky with him, avoiding Tai Li's attack.
He struggled twice, but couldn't break free from Degulish's lock. He immediately changed his method. The legs of the mechanical suit suddenly split open, and Han Xiao slid out of the suit, escaping easily. At the same time, he used Mechanical Force to pull the Void Dragon Mechanical Suit apart, and it reformed on his body again.
Degulish suddenly hugged empty air and landed on the ground, being pulled away by Han Xiao.
The threat of the mothership main cannon lingered in his mind. The longer he dragged on, the deeper Han Xiao's sense of crisis became. However, with Degulish and Tai Li watching covetously, he would definitely be stopped once he flew into the sky.
BlackLight Stealth circled overhead, not daring to get too close to the two Calamity Grades, who were also capable of destroying spaceships.
The battle had lasted for more than five minutes, and the cooldown of [Void Shuttle] was ready. Han Xiao did want to flash onto the spaceship, but once he entered the void state, he would penetrate material entities and be unable to affect real objects. He couldn't even use his mechanical suit, and could only use Mechanical Force Field to float. The duration of [Void Shuttle] was not enough to support him flying into the spaceship.
"This is really not good..."
Han Xiao felt helpless in his heart, and turned to look at the hundreds of thousands of players rushing over.
If the players could hold back the three Calamity Grades for a while and create an opening, he could escape the battlefield. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for an hour. Brothers, my iron brothers, I'm counting on you next...
Ash snapped his fingers a few times.
Snap, snap, snap.
The health of hundreds of thousands of players plummeted. They fell on the road of the charge, and batches of them turned into white light to revive.
Ash's ability was too overbearing. Without specialties to resist True Damage, any target weaker than him was not qualified to fight him at all. Numbers were meaningless. That was why he was used by DarkStar as a killing machine, easily slaughtering tens of millions of people in the Long Arc Constellation.
...
Hundreds of thousands of players revived one after another in the base square, restless and exclaiming repeatedly.
"Damn, I died in one hit!"
"Carbon element dissociation? All True Damage, is this Boss so perverted!"
"We're all dead, it's obvious we can't participate in Black Star's battlefield."
"So, this should be a plot kill."
The theory of plot kill spread quickly, and most people believed it. No one wanted to join in the fun again. In the game, they could only die ten times every six days, and players didn't want to waste their limited number of deaths on infinite plot kills. They could only stretch their necks and watch the battlefield on Han Xiao's side.
It wasn't the first time they had watched a cutscene. For example, the Germination and Six Nations War in Version 1.0, and the Heterochromatic Primordial One battle not long ago. Everyone was used to it... Speaking of which, our Aquamarine Star has a lot of plots, happy.
Everyone felt that this was also Black Star's personal plot, and they were quite curious about the following progress.
In the eyes of many players, the sudden huge crisis on Aquamarine Star was a transition signal about to leave the novice planet, a plot event.
As the leader of the "guidance camp", Black Star would probably be the leader of their camp for a long time in the future. Therefore, many plot-oriented players believed that Black Star would most likely shine in this event, forming a more profound impression, but they didn't know what would happen specifically.
...
Seeing hundreds of thousands of people die one after another, the corners of Han Xiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Well, he can't count on this group of players. The level of the Calamity Grade is beyond the scope.
Degulish and the other two surrounded Han Xiao in a triangle, not entangled, but instead pulling a small distance away.
The three of them didn't want Han Xiao to escape, but they didn't want to be dragged by Han Xiao to take a shot together. The shelling didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
"Rista, can you stop the mothership in outer space from firing?"
Han Xiao asked in a low voice in the mechanical helmet.
"I can't help it either. I infiltrated another mothership and can only help you check the situation... Not good, the main cannon of this mothership is about to finish charging, the target has been locked, you have about 8.6 seconds left." Rista's voice echoed in the mechanical helmet.
"It seems that this shot can't be avoided. Come on, I can hold on..."
Han Xiao had to cheer himself up and threw out several compressed balls, which turned into layers of alloy covers, covering himself inside. This was a portable tactical defense fortress specially used for defense. It had no other effect, it was just hard enough.
Then, the remaining mechanical legion moved, rushing towards Han Xiao one after another, pouncing on the fortress one after another, stacking on it as a shield, and opening shields, all facing the sky.
Degulish and the other two didn't want to get close to the range of the mothership's main cannon, as long as Black Star couldn't escape. The three of them turned to attack the mechanical legion gathered from all directions, and mechanical soldiers fell one after another. Only a part of them passed through the three people's attack gaps and came to the fortress. The defense line constructed by the mechanical soldiers continued to become thicker.
The remaining floating shuttles and mechanical hands also flew to the sky and opened their shields.
Han Xiao almost released all the mechs that could defend. He didn't know how much power these measures could offset, so he filled his health, concentrated his mind highly, and prepared to use Aurora's character card at any time.
At this moment, Degulish, who was blocking the mechanical legion, received a signal from the mothership. The three stopped at the same time and hurriedly moved away from this area.
"Success, Black Star has nowhere to escape!"
Degulish showed a satisfied smile. Their siege was to let the mothership's main cannon hit Black Star. This was the most likely way to kill Black Star.
At the same time, inside the defense fortress, Han Xiao's vigilance reached its highest point, activating [Reverberating Impact - Thorns] drawn from the Germination leader. This skill could offset 30% of the damage of the next attack.
"It's coming!"
