Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

876 – Mimicry Warship
TL: BluVerse

But among the six members of this team, undoubtedly, Tang Yuge, Yuanen Huihui, and Bai Xiuxiu had the strongest overall strength. Their martial souls could fuse with their Skywing Mechas, and once they erupted fully, they possessed tremendous power.

The six mechas flew out, quickly dispersing and disappearing into the asteroid belt. This was the unique advantage of the Thirty-Three Skywings.

Normally, a meteor-class assault warship wouldn’t be able to store more than four mechas internally; after all, mechas had a considerable size. But who were the Thirty-Three Skywings? They were the chosen elites of Shrek Academy, the Star Wars Experimental Class. Each of them had a large storage-type soul device, obtained from the academy at a low cost, specifically designed to store Skywing Mechas. Therefore, each person’s mecha was equivalent to a fighter jet. In the most extreme scenario, leaving only one person piloting the warship, they could unleash thirty-two mechas for escort.

Of course, this also explained why their Star Wars Assessment was so challenging. With powerful weapons such as the Skywing Mechas, it would be strange if they only faced ordinary requirements.

As the six Skywing mechas were released, in a situation where the warship couldn’t remain invisible, they could immediately notify the warship if they detected any signs of enemies, allowing Lan Xuanyu to respond calmly to various situations.

The mechas could also rotate at any time, maintaining continuous reconnaissance. The outskirts of the Chaos Star Field seemed relatively quiet. After destroying the first warship, they had penetrated deep for a whole half-hour without encountering any other enemies.

As the seventy-two-hour countdown continued to elapse continuously, everyone’s spirits relaxed slightly. With the mechas scouting outside, they didn’t need to be overly tense.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

“I’m under attack, I’m under attack. There’s a mimetic warship. I’m trying to retreat, but they’ve used a capture net to block my evacuation route,” the urgent voice suddenly came through.

Lan Xuanyu immediately switched the screen. Among the six released Skywing mechas, Bai Xiuxiu’s had just encountered the enemy.

“Yuge, you guys continue reconnaissance, no need to reinforce. Ensure that you report immediately if another enemy ship appears. Full speed ahead, we’re going to support Xiuxiu,” Lan Xuanyu didn’t panic just because Bai Xiuxiu was in danger. This was also the advantage of simulating battles in the cockpit. In real combat, if Bai Xiuxiu were in life-threatening danger, his emotions might be hard to control. This was also an aspect Tang Zhenhua had been working hard to train him in. Regardless of the situation, the first thing to do was to stay calm. Only with a calm mind could he make the best responses.

The warship instantly accelerated, pursuing the coordinates provided by Bai Xiuxiu. Meanwhile, the footage captured by Bai Xiuxiu’s Skywing mecha was already projected onto the large screen.

It was a warship entirely in earthy yellow, covered with armor that made it look exactly like an asteroid. If it remained stationary in space without activating, it truly resembled a meteor.

This type of warship was called a mimetic warship, simulating different appearances according to the battlefield terrain to deceive enemies.

Undoubtedly, this warship was specially modified for the Chaos Star Field, which explained its unique appearance.

The only issue with mimetic warships was that their various forms had different effects on the ship. For example, this warship, with its armor simulating asteroids, would undoubtedly increase its overall weight, affecting its speed.

At this moment, capture nets spread through the air, attempting to encircle and intercept Bai Xiuxiu.

Although the size of this mimetic warship didn’t reach warship levels, it was still twice as large as Lan Xuanyu’s warship. Obviously, the enemy, by sacrificing speed due to the mimicry, compensated by increasing its energy reserves and combat power through size. This was a special tactical approach in the Chaos star field known as “camping”.

Mimicking asteroids, waiting for enemies to approach, and then annihilating them, this warship was specifically designed to plunder resources acquired by others—a detested type of ship in the Chaos star field.

Bai Xiuxiu’s luck seemed to be less favorable; she had encountered this kind of warship.

However, at this moment, her skills in piloting the mecha were fully demonstrated. The mecha moved gracefully like a bird, skillfully evading the capture nets.

Capture nets were gravity-equipped, and once within a certain range, they would be directly pulled in. Once captured, escape became impossible.

Yet, Bai Xiuxiu skillfully piloted the mecha, hovering on the edge of the gravitational field. She even induced two capture nets to collide, reducing the blockade against her.

Her Skywing mecha maneuvered left and right in space, constantly performing intricate maneuvers to escape pursuit while attempting to increase the distance.

But at this moment, the opponents apparently couldn’t restrain themselves. A huge light screen, shaped like a fan, shot toward Bai Xiuxiu.

This light screen had an enormous coverage area. Wherever it passed, nearby small asteroids were attracted.

Capture ray!

This was a weapon rarely equipped on a meteor-class assault warship due to its relatively high energy consumption. So, the opponent hadn’t used it before.

Just as Bai Xiuxiu approached the vicinity, she suddenly sensed danger and accelerated immediately. The prepared capture net failed to capture her, and the enemy’s camping strategy failed. They had to initiate pursuit.

Facing the capture ray, Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes remained calm without a hint of panic. She could also see the speed at which her warship was approaching. As long as she held on a bit longer, her warship would arrive.

She quickly pulled the control lever with her right hand, and the thrusters of the Skywing mecha ran at full capacity, spewing out intense flames. Instantly accelerating, she shot towards the distance.

Although the capture ray attenuated with distance, it was like a spider’s web. Once it attached to this small-sized space mecha, it was unlikely to escape.

Light’s speed is always much faster than that of a fighter jet. Although Bai Xiuxiu managed to open up some distance in an instant, the capture beam quickly caught up with her.

The Skywing mecha felt a slight drag, indicating it had been stuck. However, the power output from the overload kept it holding on for a moment, preventing an immediate pullback.

At this moment, individual combat strength became crucial.

Around the Skywing mecha, a layer of dark purple-black light suddenly burst forth. Due to its deep color, it wasn’t very noticeable in space, only vaguely showing clusters of purple-black light spheres exploding.

The faint red capture net encountered the purple-black light spheres, surprisingly corroded with each hole. In the next instant, the Skywing mecha forcefully broke free and shot out.

Death Withering!

If the opponent could see Bai Xiuxiu at this moment, they might notice that her skin surface had been covered with a layer of purple-black dragon scales, with seven soul rings shining. As Death Withering was released, it forcefully melted the capture net, even without using her battle armor.

This was Abyssal Ice Demon Dragon martial soul, not so easily dealt with.

“Xuanyu, I request to be captured by the opponent, causing internal damage,” Bai Xiuxiu’s voice echoed on the warship’s side.

Lan Xuanyu responded, “That’s too dangerous. Once they capture you, they’ll surely disable your mecha. You can only rely on your combat abilities.”

“Then I’ll abandon the mecha. This local warship should have a strong defense. Engaging in direct combat, even if we can win, will undoubtedly consume a lot. Only by breaking through from the inside can we conserve energy as much as possible.”

Lan Xuanyu hesitated for a moment, then decisively said, “Okay, I approve your proposal.”

He knew that this was only possible in the simulated chamber. In the real world, he would never allow Bai Xiuxiu to do this, even though Bai Xiuxiu’s strength was formidable.
