Chapter 307 Fierce Battle Against Mechanical Creatures and a Sudden Turning Point
The mechanical creature's attacks were swift and powerful, its energy beams constantly striking the fleet and triggering explosions. Lin Yu commanded the fleet to quickly disperse, using the complex terrain of the ruins to evade the attacks. He observed the mechanical creature's movements while simultaneously devising a countermeasure. The mechanical creature's shell was hard, making it difficult for conventional weapons to inflict effective damage, and its attack frequency and intensity were constantly increasing.
"Analyze its energy source and weaknesses!" Lin Yu ordered the research team via communicator. Ellie and her team quickly operated the equipment to conduct a comprehensive scan of the mechanical creature. The data showed that the mechanical creature's energy core was located in its chest, surrounded by a powerful energy shield, and it seemed to be able to absorb surrounding energy to replenish itself.
"It's absorbing the energy of the ruins, and it'll get stronger and stronger!" Ellie shouted anxiously.
Lin Yu made a decisive decision: "Concentrate firepower on its energy absorption device to prevent it from replenishing its energy!" The fleet's warships adjusted their cannons, concentrating their firepower on the mechanical creature's energy absorption device. Under the intense barrage, the mechanical creature's energy absorption device suffered some damage, and its energy absorption rate noticeably slowed.
But the mechanical creature was not to be outdone. It let out a low roar, and the thrusters on its legs spewed powerful streams of energy as it charged towards the fleet. Wielding its enormous mechanical arms, buildings crumbled in its wake. A warship of the Azeroth civilization was unable to dodge and was struck by one of the mechanical arms, suffering severe damage before slowly plummeting to the bottom.
Seeing this, Lin Yu piloted the "Starshine" forward, using the ship's maneuverability to draw the mechanical creature's attention. The "Starshine" nimbly weaved around the mechanical creature, continuously firing energy beams to disrupt its movements. Enraged, the mechanical creature turned all its attacks towards the "Starshine," unleashing a barrage of energy beams.
The shield of the "Starshine" flickered incessantly under the attack, and its energy reading plummeted. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, maneuvering the ship left and right, searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Just then, Ellie noticed that the energy shield would fluctuate briefly when the mechanical creature attacked, especially when it turned around, the fluctuations were more pronounced.
"Lin Yu, its shield has a gap when it turns around, attack that spot!" Ellie shouted through the communicator.
Lin Yu immediately understood. He piloted the "Starshine" and deliberately circled behind the mechanical creature. The instant the mechanical creature turned around, the "Starshine's" main cannon fired at full power, and a powerful energy beam struck the mechanical creature's energy shield at a weakness.
A crack appeared in the mechanical creature's energy shield; it seemed severely damaged and its movements became sluggish. The fleet seized this opportunity, refocusing its firepower on its energy core. Under sustained attack, the mechanical creature's energy shield finally broke, exposing its energy core.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the mechanical creature suddenly activated its self-destruct program. Its body began to flash red, and the energy in its energy core surged, threatening to explode at any moment.
"Oh no, it's going to self-destruct! Everyone evacuate immediately!" Lin Yu shouted. The fleet quickly started its engines and flew out of the ruins. Behind them, the mechanical creature exploded violently, the powerful energy shock creating a huge mushroom cloud, and the entire ruins trembled in the blast.
The fleet barely managed to maintain its flight despite the impact of the explosion. They stopped at a safe distance and looked back; the ruins were unrecognizable. But Lin Yu and Ellie knew the crisis was far from over; the mysterious force was likely still coveting the "Star Core Power."
Amidst the ruins of the explosion, a faint light caught Ellie's attention. Examining it closely through her binoculars, she discovered it was a fragment emitting a strange light, seemingly connected to the "Power of the Star Core."
"Lin Yu, I've found something. We need to go back and take a look," Ellie said.
Lin Yu nodded in agreement and led a small exploration vessel back to the ruins. In the ruins, they found the fragment. The moment Lin Yu picked it up, a stream of information flooded his mind. The fragment contained partial information about the "Star Core Power," as well as key clues to unlocking the seal on the "Star Core Power."
Based on these clues, they learned that the "Star Core Power" was sealed in a deeper chamber beneath the ruins, and the key to opening the chamber was a special crystal they had previously discovered in the ancient ruins.
Lin Yu and Ellie returned to the fleet with the fragments to discuss their next steps with representatives of the Azel civilization. They knew that venturing into the deeper chambers would inevitably bring more dangers, but they had no choice but to stand their ground in order to stop the mysterious force.
As they prepared to venture deeper into the ruins, the fleet suddenly received a mysterious signal from the depths of space. This signal had a frequency unlike any they had encountered before, and it seemed to contain some kind of warning.
Where did this mysterious signal come from? What is its connection to the "Star Core Power" and other mysterious forces? How will Lin Yu and his fleet deal with these successive challenges?
