169: Chapter 169 Strike while the iron is hot!

"This machine... it's not just extracting from the fierce beasts, it's also a large-scale buff formation?!"

"They're using the fierce beasts' vitality to heal themselves and gain buffs?!"

No wonder this group never gets tired no matter how they fight, and they can heal instantly when injured!

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Xi, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

It must be destroyed!

As long as this machine is destroyed, cutting off their supply and buffs, this group of Men in Black is not invincible!

"Mu Rou! Xiao Xiao! Listen to my command!"

Chen Xi roared in the team channel:

"Ignore the people! Focus fire on the machine!!"

"Focus fire on the machine?!"

Hearing Chen Xi's roar, Li Murou, who was flustered and pressed by two assassins, was stunned for a moment.

But out of an almost blind trust in her captain, she did not hesitate at all.

"Get... out of my way!!"

A trace of determination flashed in Li Murou's eyes. She no longer tried to use sonic waves to control the agile assassins, but instead turned abruptly, aiming her electronic keyboard at the huge black machine.

"【Sorrowful Elegy】! Maximum power!!"

Zheng——!!!

A visible deep blue sonic wave slammed heavily onto the extractor like a heavy hammer.

"Hum——crack, crack, crack!"

The machine, which had been operating at high speed and emitting harsh roars, felt as if glue had been poured into its internal gears and energy transmission the moment it made contact with the sonic wave, emitting a teeth-grinding friction sound.

The rune light on the machine's surface instantly dimmed by half!

"What?!"

Thunder Ghost, who was suppressing Chen Xi, had his expression change drastically:

"Damn it! That woman's sonic wave can interfere with the energy frequency!"

"Quick! Kill her! Don't let her play anymore!"

As the machine's operation was hindered, the faint blood-colored buff aura shrouding all the Men in Black instantly vanished.

That endless recovery ability was severed!

"Chance!"

A sharp light exploded in Chen Xi's eyes.

He no longer held back, his mental power instantly burning to the extreme.

"【Miracle Deduction】! Activate!!"

Hum!

Chen Xi's eyes instantly turned pale gold, and the world deconstructed into countless data streams in his eyes.

The massive extractor turned into a precise blueprint in his eyes.

Energy nodes, transmission lines, weak points... all clear at a glance!

"Found it!"

Chen Xi's gaze locked onto an inconspicuous exhaust valve at the bottom of the machine.

That was the path for energy reflux, and also the weakest point of the entire defensive shield!

"Xiao Xiao! Three o'clock direction! Machine base! That red valve!"

Chen Xi roared:

"Full power attack! Ignore everything else! Trust me!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who was being entangled by a heavy warrior, heard this, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

She actually gave up defense completely, letting the warrior's shield smash into her back.

"Thunder Shadow... Thousand Instants!"

Crackle!

The second before the shield hit, she turned into a bolt of lightning and forcibly displaced, directly flashing to the side of the machine.

Although blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were brighter than ever before.

"Shatter!!"

Su Xiaoxiao overspent all her magic power, her magic staff fiercely pointing out.

【Sword of Apocalypse】 (Compressed Version)!

A purple-black thunder sword aura, carrying the will to destroy everything, precisely and accurately bombarded that red valve!

"No!!!"

Thunder Ghost let out a desperate roar, wanting to return to help but was held back tightly by Chen Xi.

"Rumble——!!!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise.

The moment the valve was shattered, the massive and violent energy inside the machine instantly went out of control.

A terrifying energy storm centered on the machine, sweeping crazily in all directions!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bearing the brunt were the Men in Black who were closest to the machine.

The shields on them shattered like paper in front of the violent energy turbulence, and they were blown away, spraying blood crazily.

Even the Lv.48 Thunder Ghost was staggered back by this shockwave, his chest feeling stuffy, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Strike while they're down!"

Chen Xi seized this fleeting opportunity.

He didn't know when he had already gripped five 【Explosion Cards】 and three 【Freeze Cards】 in his hand.

"Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The cards flew out and detonated above the heads of the Men in Black who were stunned by the explosion.

A double dose of ice and fire!

Before they could even crawl up, they were frozen and blown away!

"Ye Fei! Finish them off!"

Ye Fei reacted at this moment too.

Although she couldn't control the violent Thunder Eagle, she still had Little Si in her hand!

"Little Si! Bite them to death!"

"Awoo!"

The giant wolf Little Si rushed into the enemy formation like a bolt of black lightning, crazily biting at those Men in Black who had fallen to the ground.

The situation was instantly reversed!

Thunder Ghost looked at his wailing subordinates all over the ground, then looked at the machine that was already scrapped, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

"Retreat!!"

He knew that the situation was lost.

The machine was destroyed, the buffs were gone, and if they continued fighting and attracted the military's main force, none of them would be able to escape.

Thunder Ghost threw down a smoke bomb, his figure turned into a wisp of black smoke, and he fled miserably toward the teleportation array deep in the canyon with the few remaining remnants who could still move.

"Want to run?"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to chase, but was stopped by Chen Xi.

"Don't chase! Don't chase a desperate foe!"

Chen Xi panted heavily, looking at the mess all over the ground, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:

"Our goal has already been achieved."

He walked over to the ruined machine.

Although the machine exploded, in the center of the ruins, there was a special container that had not been damaged.

In the container, half a jar of golden liquid emitting a dreamy luster rippled.

That was the semi-finished product of 【Life Essence】 refined from the bodies of countless fierce beasts.

And when the leader Thunder Ghost fled, a cloth bag at his waist was blown away and landed on the ground.

Chen Xi walked over and picked up the heavy bag.

Opened it to take a look.

Inside, dozens of military merit medals specially made by the military were neatly stacked!

Each one represented a heavy military achievement.

"This is... did they kill other adventurers doing missions and rob them?"

Li Murou covered her mouth, somewhat unable to bear it.

Chen Xi counted them, his mouth grinning to his ears:

"These bastards actually did all the work for us."

"A total of... 800 military merit points."

"Plus the 300 points rewarded by the mission itself, and the extra 200 points for finding out the truth and bringing back samples..."

Chen Xi gripped the bag in his hand tightly, his eyes flashing with fanatical light, and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao:

"Xiao Xiao!"

"This time, we hit the jackpot!"

"Your 【void spirit stone】 is within reach!!"

Su Xiaoxiao heard this, and a moving smile finally appeared on her cold face. The smile was breathtakingly beautiful under the reflection of the lightning.

"Let's go! Back to the camp!"

Chen Xi waved his hand:

"Go find Wang Shan! Tonight is the moment for you to advance to the SS-rank class——【Thunder Punishment Valkyrie】!!"
