Chapter 568: 450
The massive Astronomy Tower collapsed with a loud crash, and Long Yi and the Overlord fell together with the collapsing tower.
But just before they hit the ground, a huge object rose from the dust with a loud roar, lifting Long Yi and the Overlord high into the sky!
This was the Scout!
Although Long Yi had long been prepared, he was still taken aback by the sheer intimidation of the massive shadow that appeared.
The so-called Scout was like a enormous metal octopus, its three pure metal tentacles waving at will behind it. The main body had seven mechanical eyes on the front, six smaller ones circling a gigantic central eye.
And Long Yi and the Overlord happened to fall right on top of that gigantic central eye.
This appearance indeed matched the name of the Scout.
No more nonsense! Let’s do this!
The avatar of Long Yi, now transformed into fine gold, bent over and punched the big eye beneath him. Despite the huge rumble that followed, that single eye remained undamaged. But the Scout still let out a deep rumble, and a red light shone from the big eye above.
"Get out of the way!" shouted the Overlord, and Long Yi and the Overlord both jumped back. Suddenly, a red light pillar several times thicker than the fine gold avatar gushed out, igniting the air in an instant!
The beam of light struck the sky, but it suddenly disappeared because the space was already shielded.
Clearly, the Scout also found the problem with the space. It made a series of strange noises, seemingly in anger. In the meantime, Long Yi and the Overlord were hovering in the air. It was Long Yi’s first real experience of flying. Unlike using magic, Long Yi felt as if he was born to fly. The grand power of the Giant allowed him to merge with the nature around him.
"This thing is stronger than I thought." Long Yi said.
"Yes, its entire body is made of a strange alloy that the Giants have never seen before. It can convert the absorbed crystals into metal or various other substances, and it can also use crystals to provide energy for its body. In terms of using these crystals, the race this monster represents has far surpassed us Giants."
The Overlord said.
"Whether it’s surpassed or not, let’s beat it first!" Long Yi directly flew towards the Scout, the surging power within him gave him endless confidence!
"All Crazy Demons, attack!" The Overlord roared out his command, and all the Crazy Demons raised their Light Cannons and fired violently at the Scout!
The Scout apparently didn’t understand what was happening. The sudden attacks distracted it, and Long Yi had already burst forward, sending a punch from a distance. The Scout quickly turned its head, and the punch was landed on a small eye, the punch alone instantly exploded that eye.
Then, that punch woke up the Scout completely.
"Hum—" The Scout’s body produced another strange rumble, and it focused all its attention on Long Yi.
Boom!
A thick red beam blasted out, and Long Yi narrowly dodged it. The beam turned in the air, trying to catch up with Long Yi, who kept speeding up and getting closer to the Scout.
Clearly, when the Scout used the Light Cannon for bombardment, its turning speed decreased significantly, this was the opportunity!
Long Yi made a round in the air and rushed straight to the side of the Scout!
Boom!
With a heavy punch, an indentation was left in the armour of the side of the Scout, but that was all, Long Yi’s confident punch did not cause any real damage to the Scout!
Not only Long Yi, the Crazy Demons on the ground were constantly bombarding it. Under such bombardment from the Light Cannons, even a hundred Giant Dragons would probably have turned into ashes, but this Scout only had some scratches on the surface of its armour!
This bastard was too tough!
Little Zi had been hiding in the blind spot of the Scout’s overhead view. Her mental power was constantly scanning every corner. But the Scout was too big and unstable, making it hard for her mental power to accurately know what was inside.
Belle also kept raining down fire power from the side, but like those Crazy Demons, this had basically no effect on the Scout.
"Brother Long, I’ll go take a look inside!" Little Zi shouted at Long Yi.
"Okay!"
Little Zi and her thirteen Female Demon avatars immediately spread out and crawled into the Scout’s body from various corners.
Fortunately, the scout’s armor, though solid, is powerless against the female demon, an entity of pure energy.
Meanwhile, Long Yi continues to look for opportunities.
After realizing that the deadly light cannon could not harm Long Yi, the scout ceased to waste its time, its three enormous tentacles waving wildly in an attempt to bring Long Yi down from the sky. Though Long Yi’s body had grown larger, enhancing his strength, it reduced his agility, leading to some clumsy responses to the tentacles’ attacks, resulting in him being thrown away. However, the next time it happened, Long Yi decided not to dodge, using the momentum and stomping heavily on the scout’s head, causing the armor to bend! There was even a crack in the armor!
Just as expected from a fine gold avatar, it didn’t hurt a bit when hit! If it were him, he probably would be turned into a bloody pulp, wouldn’t he?
A crack!
Long Yi reached out, using all his strength to pry the armor apart, revealing a gap large enough for a hand. Underneath the armor, some strange substance was glowing red. Could this be the scout’s true form?
Realizing that Long Yi had lifted its armor, the scout was thrown into a frenzy, its tentacles sweeping out wildly. In response, Long Yi lifted the armor, the tentacles’ brute force inadvertently helped him to smash down the armor, with Long Yi being flung away as well.
In that hit, Long Yi noticed that even his fine gold arm had slightly bent! How much power was involved to even bend a fine gold arm?
Yet, Long Yi had no time to consider these things. He flipped in mid-air, tossing the piece of armor into his private space. But the scout wouldn’t let him get any closer, its three tentacles pointed at Long Yi simultaneously, each finger opening up to reveal a large red crystal inside.
Looking at the enormous crystal some ten or so meters long, Long Yi thought to himself,
"This thing, couldn’t be the light cannon, could it?"
Just then, three beams of red light came from three directions and surrounded him! No matter how Long Yi tried to maneuver in the air, the three beams relentlessly adjusted their positions in sync! There was no way to dodge! At that moment,
Damn it! This bastard! Unable to dodge, Long Yi headed straight towards the big eye in the center!
Apparently, the scout needed time to launch an attack from its center eye. But it didn’t expect Long Yi to rush at it directly and hurriedly turned its body. Long Yi quickly took advantage of that to escape the surround and landed where he had lifted the armor before. But now the armor that had been lifted earlier showed signs of self-repair!
"Belle! Over here!"
Long Yi shouted loudly, Belle immediately flew over. Her small body allowed for great agility. At this point, she could easily surpass several times the speed of sound, and dodging all the scout’s attacks to reach Long Yi’s side was a piece of cake.
The light cannon was ready before Belle even landed.
The beam hit the lower layer, where there was no armor, and the scout writhed in pain. Its three huge tentacles swung in their direction, attempting to drive Long Yi and Belle away. Belle sped away, while Long Yi was prepared and pulled the edge of the armor forcefully upward.
With the impact of the huge tentacle, a big layer of the armor was lifted!
Long Yi, who had been flung away, laughed loudly, stashed the piece of armor once again into his private space, and rushed towards the scout again. This time the scout finally realized what a difficult enemy Long Yi was, and growled. It pulled back in the air, its five small eyes constantly scanning its surroundings in hopes of finding a loophole.
"Come on, my lovely, come to Brother! Brother will comfort you!" yelled Long Yi as he flew over with a grim smile.
"Don’t be careless! Watch out for its Crystallization Beam!" warned the overlord who was maintaining spatial isolation on the ground.
At this moment, five white rays shot out from the five intact eyes and simultaneously hit Long Yi. He felt the fine gold on his surface slowly crystalizing!
Dammit!
The instinctive shake of the Giant’s Power clothed his fine gold avatar in a powerful energy shield, stopping the Crystallization Beam. But the crystals on his body continued to corrode the fine gold and multiplied on their own.
Shit!
Long Yi roared, his fists collided with great force, shaking his body. Wherever the crystals had spread, he removed the fine gold that had made contact. The surface of the fine gold avatar soon became mottled.
"This bastard is so strong!" Long Yi roared.
"Only fine gold could endure this. If it were any other substance, you would be at least half crystallized by now!" The overlord shouted.
With Long Yi driven away, the scout finally began to turn its attention to the crazy demons that had been relentlessly attacking it. The crazy demons weren’t very strong, but couldn’t be ignored. Especially when Long Yi had distracted it, letting the crazy demons leave all sorts of wounds on the scout’s armor. Some areas were even completely blown off by the light cannon due to consecutive attacks!
This infuriated the scout; its three tentacles attacked the ground in turn while the huge eye in the center spewed out a powerful beam.
The beam cut enormous trenches into the ground, and any crazy demon that couldn’t escape in time was disintegrated by the beam into crystal fragments. At this point, the scout’s huge central eye turned blue, and the shattered crystals began to rush towards the scout! (To be continued.
