Chapter 474: Three chs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It's the red-tailed beasts!
There were 12 chs, all different looking, fighting intensely against five red-tailed beasts. Bang bang bang! The sound of collisions never stopped. Whenever one of them crashed into the ground, it was enough to make the earth shake.
The red-tailed beasts were about the sa size as the chs, but they move more flexibly. Despite being outnumbered, they did not seem to be fighting at a disadvantage. The five red-tailed beasts evasively moved from building to building. The 12 chs could not surround the creatures, and could only run around to keep them in sight.
Crash! Rumble! Dust was flying everywhere, as neither the red-tailed beasts nor the 12 chs were particularly careful moving around the buildings. The red-tailed beasts were tough creatures, and the 12 chs were also very strong. They chased each other around, destroying the buildings in their wake. Soon, all that was left was rubble.
Bong! There was a loud but dull sound. A strong wave of dust then hit Ye Chong in the face. Ye Chong instinctively shut his eyes, but he knew he was in trouble. That sound was very close to where he was. Could it be …
When Ye Chong regained his sight, his heart turned cold.
The ch laboratory was reduced to rubble. Everywhere was filled with debris, and dust was blown away from the center that was originally the lab. A red-tailed beast erged from the dust and debris, hurling itself onto one of the chs in the air!
"D*mn!"
Ye Chong and Shang cursed almost in sync.
Ye Chong pushed the cover away and ca out. He bent over, taking cover behind the dust, and quickly entered the now defunct ch laboratory.
Looking at the microphoton repair device on the ground, or what's left of it, Ye Chong knew that his plan had gone to waste.
He studied his imdiate surroundings. Both sides were deep in the fight. The 12 chs were strong. Perhaps they were from so kind of elite squad. Each of them could take a red-tailed beast head on by themselves.
Suddenly, Ye Chong saw one of the chs, one in red and black, with a shield and sword as its weapon, was pinned down by a red-tailed beast. Upon closer inspection, Ye Chong recognized the pilot - it was the examiner who used an average shield-sword ch earlier that day. These two chs were very different, as this shield-sword ch was much more advanced than the average one he saw earlier. The maroon red alloy sword looked like it was covered with blood, and the huge shield was as dark as night. Together, they made the ch look like a killer from Hell.
It was not hard for Ye Chong to recognize the similar ways these two chs moved.
However, he was rarely over curious, and without a ch to protect himself, the current situation was dangerous for him. Since the microphoton repair device was destroyed, he should leave as soon as possible.
Ye Chong was about to leave this dangerous place when Shang suddenly spoke up, "Ye, careful, chs incoming!"
Ye Chong quickly hid behind one of the damaged walls. Given the complicated terrain, it would be difficult to notice him, even with holographic scanning.
Almost as soon as Shang finished his sentence, three black dots appeared in the sky. They ca swiftly, and Ye Chong watched them grew larger and larger. There were three golden chs, and they were fast! Ye Chong was surprised. However, when the three golden chs finally landed, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Where had he seen them before?
Ye Chong recalled then of the 10 golden chs he had seen at the abandoned factory, before he entered Crysound City. No wonder they looked familiar. He had seen them before. These golden chs had a left a deep impression in Ye Chong. They could fly up to Mach 16 within the atmosphere. Their speed was truly astonishing!
Ye Chong doubt he could make a ch that could fly so fast himself if he had not been using skeleton material to his advantage,.
The three golden chs join the fight without delay.
The three golden chs looked different from one another. One of them had a typical sword and shield combination; one had twin swords; the last one preferred to fight at very close range, using small weapons that looked like parrying daggers.
The golden shield was covered with dark red patterns of roses. The golden sword in the ch's right arm was polished like a mirror. The ch was logically designed and well balanced.
It was the sa combination of sword and shield, but the golden ch's had its own fighting style. Every move was bold, quick, simple and effective. The sword and shield worked together seamlessly, as the ch pilot fought gracefully with these weapons.
The twin curved swords were four ters long, thick at the back and thinner towards the blades edge. The swords were sparingly decorated, with only a sharp point at the handles. The ch with these golden twin swords had no ans of defense, opting for the more extre choice of attack. Without proper defensive tools, it protected itself through its attacks instead. The ch was brave and aggressive. Ye Chong noticed that this particular ch's arms must be specially designed, as they could move a lot faster than its two companions.
The last golden ch had a smaller and more compact build. Since it weighed less than the two other chs, it could turn and move more deftly. It was similar to Ye Chong's clown ch, but much more superior in terms of design and build material. The ch pilot behind this ch was also quick to attack, making nasty strikes and blows that kept its enemies on guard.
Three elites!
Ye Chong made a quick estimation, and his face turned serious.
If the 12 chs earlier were considered strong, then these three chs were absolutely masters of their art! He was also a bit shaken by the fact that these three chs were probably from the sa organization, despite their very different designs. The gold colored alloy material was like the black colored black gold, probably a special kind of alloy.
Ye Chong believed that every part of the three chs, every curve of them, were the result of countless experintations. The organization behind these chs must have excellent ch manufacturing talent. These three pilots were also very gifted, and Ye Chong knew that the organization must have more than these three working for them. After all, he had seen 10 of those golden chs flying across the sky just the other day.
Putting Ye Chong's surprise aside, the balance of the fight outside was now changing quickly with the new arrivals.
The 12 chs obeyed orders from the assassin-like golden ch and suddenly flew into the distance, leaving the five red-tailed beasts behind. They stopped when they were beyond the furthest of the five red-tailed beasts, and began to fly inwards. The 13 chs ford a circular barrier, staying close to each other.
Ye Chong understood their intentions imdiately.
They wanted to surround the red-tailed beasts, slowly restricting their space. Once the red-tailed beasts were forced towards the shield-sword ch and the twin-sword ch, who were at the center, these two powerful chs would slowly kill off the creatures.
The battle proceeded as Ye Chong expected.
The 12 chs closed in slowly towards the center, covering for each other in the process. The small-frad golden ch circled around their formation, assisting whichever ch that was attacked by the red-tailed beasts.
The plan worked. Ye Chong was able to witness the abilities of the two golden chs surrounded in the center!
The golden shield-sword ch lured three red-tailed beasts towards itself, its sword swinging about like a huge shield, and the actual shield in its left hand defended itself flawlessly. By matching its pace and use of weaponry, the ch successfully drew three red-tailed beast towards itself. The three red-tailed beasts attacked madly, but the ch defended itself perfectly, blocking all of their attacks! The ch had simply warded off all the attacks from these three red-tailed beasts.
Strong! Ye Chong was impressed. He had never seen such a powerful defense. Ye Chong himself was more of an attacker, and he was always more inclined to attack, be it in hand-to-hand combat or ch battles. Even so, his defense was also quite good, mostly due to his strong determination and understanding his opponents well. However, he was still inferior compared to this golden shield-sword ch when it ca to defense.
The golden ch with the two swords may attack ferociously, but Ye Chong thought the pilot was only just capable. Ye Chong's specialty was in attacking. The ch with the golden twin swords was strong, but not stronger than himself. If Ye Chong used Han Jia, he could kill off all five red-tailed beasts himself.
The way he saw it, these five red-tailed beasts were not as strong as the six-fingered red-tailed beast he was pursuing before this.
Could it be that the red-tailed beast's evolution increased its power not linearly, but in an exponential way? The seemingly unrelated question ca to Ye Chong.
If that was the case, would the red-tailed beast also require an exponential increase in resources to evolve further up the ladder?
Suddenly, the battle that was going on faded into the background. Ye Chong was suddenly plunged into the issue that was totally unrelated to the battle in front of him.
Ye Chong had already identified the number of digits as an indication of the red-tailed beast's evolution level. From Fei Si's research, it seed that these creatures needed pure energy and tal to evolve. If that was the case, there must be so kind of relationship between the power gained from evolution and the two elents that led to it.
Suddenly, Ye Chong rembered that the creature in the underground cave of that primary planet had a teardrop mineralite clutched in its hand, and seed to realize sothing from it.
However, Shang interrupted right then, "Ye, they're gone!"
