Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Roots Titan_1

The pale purple cha stood at the edge of the rooftop, observing the purple ocean below.

The next mont, he actually stepped forward, plumting down from the top of the kiloter-high building as if to rge into the purple glow!

However, this was just an illusion.

The pale purple cha fell only five stories before grabbing the edge of the wall and leaping back into the high-rise.

“Whew, jumping from such a high building is really thrilling.”

“The passageway on this level shouldn’t be blocked by corpses, I can start hunting now…”

Jiang Chen felt his adrenaline surge and couldn’t help but exhale a breath of relief.

Even though night had fallen, now that he had regained control of his cha, he didn’t want to wait any longer and was ready to start hunting the mutated monsters directly.

After all, the Model Zero cha he was wearing belonged to the Light-weight Exoskeleton Armor category.

It was essentially an auxiliary type of cha, which could provide attribute bonuses to the cha pilot, thus allowing them to exert incredible strength.

In this process, the pilot’s own strength and attributes naturally were also considered.

Usually, however, the cha pilot’s own strength and attributes could be negligible.

But Jiang Chen was different.

After he had absorbed the power of the Model Zero cha once, his body also acquired a panel similar to a cha.

[Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 3, Defense 2, Enigmatism 0.]

[Ability: Uncontrollable Mutation.]

In such a state, wearing the Model Zero cha: Balanced Form.

Just in terms of basic attributes, he had reached an extrely exaggerated level.

[Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 6, Defense 2 ( 2), Enigmatism 0.]

To put it bluntly,

If another muscle Mutant ca along, Jiang Chen could easily crush it to death.

“The Model Zero cha can only load three modules, and there is a cap on the attributes.”

“Now, I am like wearing two sets of Model Zero chas, loaded with six modules, and have completely broken this cap!”

“Among all the basic trial cha pilots, even if I’m not the strongest, I’m definitely T0 level.”

“In this situation, to sweep a basic trial is absolutely a breeze.”

“The question is, how to get the maximum return in the basic trial, and achieve a higher degree of rating.”

Jiang Chen walked down the ergency stairs toward the lower floors.

Along the way, he took down the ergency lights hanging inside the passageway and held them in his hand.

These ergency lights had their own power source, barely usable as a flashlight.

However, it seed that it was because of the excessive monster grinding beforehand.

Continuing down over a dozen floors, the monsters inside were extrely sparse.

Only a few early-stage Mutants were casually crushed to death by him.

It wasn’t until after the fiftieth floor that the numbers of monsters gradually increased, and a new special Mutant appeared—

It was vastly different from the muscle Mutants.

Its size was only twice that of an early-stage Mutant, but several slender arms grew out from both sides of its body, like a gigantic humanoid spider.

Moreover, it could not only climb on the walls but also moved at an extrely rapid pace.

In the floor shrouded in the faint purple light, it beca a ghostly shadow!

At the first encounter, it darted behind Jiang Chen.

Then…

It was caught by Jiang Chen by the arm, flung to the ground, and had its head crushed beneath his foot.

Eight points of strength, six points of agility, are you kidding ?

What special Mutant, in the presence of absolute attributes, was a joke!

Of course, as an elite monster, this Mutant also brought a new drop for Jiang Chen.

[Killing special Mutant, obtained module: Spider-Form Arm.]

…

[Spider-Form Arm]

[Rank: Zero]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: Back Module]

[Effect: Additional two spider-form arms, slightly increased scope of cha operation, and weapon count.]

[Description: They… they are speaking into my ears!]

This was undoubtedly a fairly practical cha back module.

Acquiring two additional cha arms ant being able to operate more devices and use more weapons.

Wielding four Desert Eagles wasn’t a dream!

The problem was…

Jiang Chen had neither a Desert Eagle nor any weapons.

When cha pilots entered the basic trial, they could only bring their clothes and the initial cha.

Otherwise, Senior Xie wouldn’t have needed to remind the new recruits to avoid combat as much as possible. He could have represented the cha Alliance and provided them with so weapons, devices, or even modules as assistance.

In that case, everyone would easily steamroll through the abyss, and the basic trial would beco a joke.

Therefore, although the spider-form arms were very practical cha modules,

Jiang Chen could only store it within the Abyss Rune and continue his hunting journey.

…

This skyscraper was over a kiloter high, with at least four hundred floors.

The noise Jiang Chen had previously made on the rooftop attracted only about fifty floors’ worth of mutated monsters.

Now, as he continued downward through the ergency stairwell, the number of mutated monsters increased, and special mutants began to appear frequently.

The bloated fat ones, the aliens with scythe-like arms…

However, Jiang Chen didn’t linger for battle but instead dashed down the ergency stairs.

Unless he encountered spider-like mutants that could be eliminated in one strike, he didn’t bother to stop.

After all, there were simply too many mutants in the floors.

Each floor had at least a hundred early stage Mutants, and the number increased the further down he went.

Jiang Chen roughly estimated that the number of mutants in this kiloter-high building was close to a hundred thousand!

It was outrageous!

If Jiang Chen hesitated even a little and stopped to fight with the special mutants,

he would quickly be overwheld by countless early stage Mutants, getting stuck in the middle of the passageway, trapped in a dilemma of no retreat.

Even if he could hold out relying on the terrain, he most likely would run out of ti.

Therefore, Jiang Chen painfully let go of those special mutants.

Compared to elite monsters, obviously the boss had a higher priority.

He would first try to deal with this massive vine and then consider other matters!

As for why he had to go to the bottom of the building…

Both the term “Roots” and the category “Plant” implied that a more powerful monster would likely appear near the lower roots.

The situation in the ergency stairwell also confird Jiang Chen’s guesses.

The lower he went, not only did the number of monsters increase, but fine vines began to appear inside the ergency stairwell as well.

They crept up from the bottom, covering the surface of the walls, until the walls were completely engulfed, forming a corridor woven from vines.

Until a certain mont—

Jiang Chen paused in his steps.

Looking down, he saw no further path beneath the ergency stairwell, only a gap covered with vines.

Peering down through the gap, a vast plant cavity ca into view.

This plant cavity was lit by a light purple fluorescent liquid, spanning the height of three or four stories.

Inside the cavity, there were neither early stage Mutants nor special mutants.

Only a strange giant six to seven ters tall.

It had a human shape but skin like the erald green of the vines; it resembled a plant more than a mutant.

Its hair was like strands of vines flowing down its back, connecting to the ground.

The round shadows Jiang Chen had seen earlier were continuously flowing into its head through these vines.

At the sa ti.

The Roots Titan noticed Jiang Chen. It swung its right hand and a vine turned into a green whip, lashing towards him from afar!
