Chapter 342 - Dogfight (1/2)
“All combat hover copters, fall back!”
“Evasive actions!”
“Main cannons ready to fire, D-tier destructive energy rounds armed, ready to engage!”
As Hu Liang gave the orders, the barrels of the energy cannons slowly turned to the skies.
Delay was not an option in battle.
“Fire!”
Boom!
A three-meter round exploded across the sky.
It looked like a rocket ship that aimed for the sky from afar.
After the round had traveled more than ten thousand meters, it began to turn downward.
The dozens of combat hover copters were hovering a thousand meters away. They looked on as the round landed upon the swarms of bugs.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted.
The flashpoint pierced through the sky.
A huge mushroom cloud rose out from the eruption.
Soon, the flashpoint vanished. A cloud of dense smoke spiraled into the skies.
An innumerable amount of fragmented insectoid bodies covered the ground.
They were all taken out by the violent explosion!
“Looks like that round didn’t do much!” said Qin Feng.
Everyone on the Sky Dweller was taken aback.
“Come on, that was a D-tier destructive energy around. Theoretically, it could wound a beast emperor!”
“You’d have to hit it first!” Qin Feng shrugged.
The smoke began to disperse. Something was emerging from the center of the swarm.
There was a crater in the middle, almost a hundred meters in diameter. Underneath that, a golden light came into sight.
Creak!
The light began to crack!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen crawled out soon after.
For now, it did not receive much damage.
“Screech!”
The Golden Sand Worm Queen screeched out loudly. It produced a huge suction force that pulled in the combat hover copters toward it.
“Oh no, we better run!”
The aptitude users were horrified.
At that moment, a bunch of purple-colored combat hover copters began to fire erratically.
Some of the cannon fires were directed toward the Golden Sand Worm Queen. But most of them were fired at the combat hover copters in front.
Boom!
A combat hover copter was directly hit. It lost balance and crashed into the ground.
With no means of resisting, the combat hover copters were directly sucked into the queen’s mouth.
The crew members leaped out from the choppers in an attempt to save themselves.
Qin Feng’s face turned grim.
“Dammit, it’s the Leitangs!”
“What the hell are they doing? Are they trying to kill us all?”
“Quick, we need to know their status!”
The people on the Sky Dweller were enraged.
***
Elsewhere, the five or six combat choppers of the Leitang Organization were flying in a dazzling manner above the battlefield.
Lei Chang was in one of them. He showed a grim smile as he ordered, “Lin Shi, knock that Sky Dweller out of the sky. Isn’t he rich? I’d like to see what he can do with his wealth! Those who are fated to crash shall eventually!”
Lin Shi was full of confidence within the chopper. As a D-tier gunner, he had vast experience in piloting the combat hover copter. He naturally agreed.
“That Qin Feng may be strong, but within the chopper he’s just a caged tiger. He won’t be able to escape; I’ll offer him to the purgatory!”
Lin Shi aimed his rounds precisely at the Sky Dweller.
***
On top of the Sky Dweller.
Qin Feng pulled up his stick. The Sky Dweller was flying at full speed.
The Sky Dweller managed to evade eight out of ten rounds. The other two rounds landed on the Sky Dweller.
Bzzt!
The Sky Dweller’s shield was flickering crazily.
