The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 394

Chapter 394


On a desolate, unpopulated planet, a chase was underway on its gray plains .

Almost a hundred hovering ships were chasing after the Sky Ring spaceship . The Sky Ring spaceship's exhaust flames expanded violently in an instant . The sudden increase of speed was like a tornado that stirred up countless dust from the floor .

Hum!

Dashing at a low altitude, the head of the boat was covered in dust, like a high-speed triangular speedboat dashing across the ocean .

Boom!

The hovering ships hastily increased their speed as well, but they could barely keep up with the Sky Ring spaceship . Many hovering ships' accuracy decreased noticeably because of the angles, and their attacks missed much more often .

The spaceship was trembling like it would crash at any moment, but everyone felt the visible change . Although it felt more dangerous, the number of times that the spaceship got hit decreased drastically . The high mobility largely enhanced the ship's ability to dodge . The weakened shield was just strong enough to endure these attacks . Han Xiao's piloting skills were horrifying .

By increasing the power of the engine, the difficulty in piloting would increase as well . Yet, As compared to the previous pilot, everyone could directly feel the difference when Han Xiao took over . It was like the spaceship became 'alive'! It felt like the spaceship became an extension of Han Xiao's body .

The gravity in the spaceship was finally calibrated . The people stood up one after another, and their doubts all disappeared .

They were overjoyed by Black Star, who took on such crucial responsibility in the current dire situation . Anything that could better the situation was a pleasant surprise . They never expected Black Star to have this up his sleeves .

"Fantastic!" Goa's tone changed instantly . A glimpse of a smile appeared on her expressionless face . "At this pace, the damage dealt by the hovering ships will be minimal . You did very well!"

"What?" Han Xiao was confused . "This is just basic controlling . I have not done anything yet . "

The higher the speed, the better his controls . He was far from his limit at the current speed .

Sadly, if he increases the speed further, the shield would be too thin . He was worried that he might be rusty after not piloting a battleship for so long . Maintaining the current shield thickness was a safer choice for him .

However, in the mercenaries' eyes, the shield's thickness was already horrifyingly thin, yet Black Star said that this was just his basic controls?

What was he going to do then‽

A bad feeling arose in everyone's heart .

Han Xiao stretched his wrist and said, "Hold on tight . "

With the lesson of falling right on the floor earlier, no one ignored his reminder this time . They held onto anything that they could as soon as possible . Their faces were filled with nervousness .

Hum!


In an instant, the Sky Ring spaceship started to drift, like a raging horse trying to get rid of the rider on its back!

All kinds of tricks were interjoined smoothly—lateral rollover, roller coaster, Z-maneuver, and so on . The spaceship had still been flying in a straight line just one second ago, and now it was completely random!

The hovering ship fleet was already having a hard time following, and now that Han Xiao was moving this way, their formation became broken immediately . Many hovering ships blocked the shooting range of the fleet behind them . Their laser fire became sparser, and the threat level of the attack decreased largely again .

Everyone felt like they were in a can that was being shaken violently . For the first time, they felt inertia that pulled them in all directions . Their stomach acid was rushing up, their brain juice was vibrating, and their faces were pale white . Their vision started to blur, and the surrounding environment and people started to have mirror images .

After piloting spaceships for so many years, the pilot felt like he was back to when he first started learning . The dizziness was like an old friend that he had not met for a long time . He could almost see his pilot teacher waving at him with a smile on his face .

Han Xiao could still divert his attention and said, "That pilot, come and control the weapon . If we keep running and don't fire back at all, it will be the end of us sooner or later . Fire when you see a chance . "

The pilot hastily followed the order and sat in the weapon operating seat . Compared to Black Star, his piloting skills became completely ordinary . The resentfulness before completely disappeared—he was now only scared that he might burden Han Xiao .

"On my count—five, four, three…"

Han Xiao stared at the screen, then did one more drift that messed up the formation of the hovering ships, creating a split-second opportunity to fly straight up .



Hu!

The trembling came once again!

Even if the people expected it, their legs still softened, and they almost fell .

The spaceship flew in a 'U' shape, flying from close to the ground right to above the hovering ship fleet, dashing back in the opposite direction .

"Fire!"

The pilot fired immediately . The cannon shot out from the Sky Ring spaceship . There was no need to aim—it was an attack fired at the dense part of the formation .

Boom boom boom!

Shield lit up on a few leading hovering ships as they were forced to stop for a moment . The fleet behind bumped into them straight away, causing chain reactions like dominos . The entire fleet in front became a mess, rolling across the sky .

The hovering ships were not that fragile, so they did not crash .

Han Xiao only stayed in this position for less than three seconds . Before the fleet could adjust, he made a sharp turn and escaped to the side . Its movement was as smooth as silk .

On the other hand, the chasing fleet took a few seconds to adjust before catching up . Although no battleship crashed, Han Xiao largely increased the distance between them .

"Not bad . " Han Xiao smiled and gave the pilot a thumbs up .

The pilot smiled brightly back at him, as vomit flew down right between his teeth .

The difficulty of these few movements was very high . Yet, no one in the ship showed any sign of being shocked . They did not even have the strength to be surprised—their legs were shaking, and their heads were spinning .

These movements had successfully given all of his teammates a debuff .



Goa opened her mouth, forcing herself to try to give a few words of compliment, but instead covered her mouth in an instant . The muscles in her neck could be seen clearly to have moved up and down, only then did she dare put her hand down .

Aroshia shook left and right, then sat down on the floor, unable to stand up . She said with confusion, "What's happening to me?"

Herlous was breathing heavily, and he almost suffocated like a fish out of water . The mercenaries around were all trembling . Luckily, Herlous' body was strong enough, so he could still hang on . He turned around and was shocked to see that the players were very calm . "Are you people feeling fine‽"

The players smiled cheekily . As short as three seconds after Han Xiao took over the spaceship, they realized the danger and immediately decreased their physical senses to five percent . Therefore, although they had the [Heavily Dizzy] status on their character, so they were still feeling very refreshed!

"I thought we just entered a time and space tunnel . "

"This piloting skill is absolutely horrifying!"

"I have seen Fast and Furious; this is fast and dizzy . "

The players still had the strength to discuss what was happening .

With no time to be bothered about everyone's reactions, Han Xiao started to think of the plan .

"Just piloting the spaceship will not last us two days . The DarkStar fleet will not make no changes . When they realize that the hovering ship fleet cannot deal with us, they will definitely use more aggressive methods . I can only play with the hovering ship fleet for two hours at most . After that, the danger level is going to rise step by step . "

He planned ahead . After all, stalling for two days was not an easy task at all .

The others did not know DarkStar's motive, only Han Xiao did . DarkStar had come for the Secret Message Bead . Therefore, DarkStar would not be willing to miss out on even one person .

A few plans flashed in his head before Han Xiao said, "It's not going to work out like this . We can't stay on the surface . I have a plan…"

As soon as he said this, the expression on everyone's face became as tragic as a prisoner on their way to the execution ground .

"Anyt… Anything you say . We trust you," Goa said .



Despite it clearly being an encouragement, there was no sound of joy in it at all . Instead, her voice was trembling a little .

…

In the command hall of the DarkStar mothership, the image feedback from the hovering ships was shown on the screen . The captain, Sarota, was watching it with hands behind his back .

Ten minutes passed after the battle started . The spaceships of Blades and Purple Gold were clearly struggling—only Han Xiao was doing slightly better . This attracted Sarota's attention right away . He pointed at the screen and asked, "Which mercenary group does this spaceship belong to?"

"The Sky Ring Army . "

Sarota nodded and said, "They have quite a good pilot . Looks like we need to spend more time . By the way, that Black Star is apparently on the Sky Ring ship as well, isn't he?"

The last question was directed toward the corner of the hall .

In the corner, Ember was standing against the wall with a cold and indifferent face . When he heard Han Xiao's name, his eyes swayed slightly . He had a very strong impression of Han Xiao since his last defeat .

Oom!

At this time, the alarm suddenly sounded .

"Captain, space ripple detected . There are fleets jumping toward this direction . "

Sarota was not surprised at all . He brought up the detection image, showing that a large battleship fleet was jumping toward this direction from far away at both sides of the mothership . Both of them were in a guard formation . DarkStar was in the middle .

The two fleets were the Border Guards Army of Holy Stone Civilization and Black Raven Civilization . Their style of the battleships was very different—one side was semi-circle shaped and thick, and the other was streamlined and thin . The metal fortresses were very intimidating .

As soon as the DarkStar mothership showed up, it was noticed by the Border Guards Army . Holy Stone and Black Star immediately sent out a fleet to make a field investigation . They did not act immediately once they saw DarkStar . Instead, they stayed still and watched from afar .

"Is there a need to do anything?" an assistant asked .

"Send out a message . Tell them we are just passing by to settle our business, and we will be leaving very soon . They will not attack us," Sarota said calmly . He was not concerned at all like everything was under his control .
