Chapter 314: The Reinforcements Have Arrived!

Lightning surged. As the mirror image [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was sent flying, Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Immediately after, an afterimage descended from the sky. When it landed, it emitted countless lightning bolts and instantly forced back the group of mirror soldiers surrounding it!
After the lightning disappeared, Wang Xiao finally saw the afterimage that descended from the sky. It was actually a mechanical beast.
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he saw a familiar pretty face sticking out from the back of the mechanical beast. “Wang Xiao! Are you alright?”
“Zhou Xiruo?”
Wang Xiao recognized her, but he was not happy at all. The difference in strength between the two sides was no longer something that one mechanical beast could make up for. At least a hundred were needed.
Wang Xiao’s mood was dark, but Zhou Xiruo did not know what had happened. As she spoke, she had already jumped down from the mechanical beast and arrived beside the two of them. She frowned and asked in confusion, “What happened? Why would the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] attack you?”
“That’s not the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf], but the projection of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf].”
Wang Xiao pointed at the ancient bronze mirror hanging in the air in the distance. “That should be Lang Buli’s [Lord Talent]. Any soldier that is reflected by the mirror will be made into a projection, and it will be in its peak state.”
“What?!”
Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed as she suddenly turned to look at the mechanical beast. “Doesn’t that mean…
Before he could finish speaking, the ancient bronze mirror suddenly turned around. The gray mirror suddenly lit up, and the appearance of the mechanical beast was instantly reflected!
Seeing this, the three of them immediately felt their hearts tighten. However, after waiting for nearly half a minute, no mirror image of the mechanical beast walked out of the mirror.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “Look! That mirror can’t project mechanical beasts! ”
“That doesn’t seem to be the reason…’
Qi Lianjun shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the mechanical beast’s energy slot. “It shouldn’t be able to project the [Energy Core]!”
“[Energy Core]?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but after some thought, he knew that Qi Lianjun was right.
Although the [Energy Core] was not a strategic scarce resource, it was condensed from natural energy and could not be created with any technology.
If that strange huge bronze mirror could project the [Energy Core], the Lang brothers would not have to be so cruel and live life on the edge. Even if they only accepted one star coin per Energy Core, it would be enough for them to become rich.
After the brief joy of discovering the flaw, the three of them turned solemn again. After all, even if they discovered this, their situation still did not change at all.
Just like Wang Xiao’s previous calculations, one mechanical beast could not make up for the difference in strength between the two sides at all. A hundred was probably required.
After he and Zhou Xiruo surrendered in the [Challenge Arena], all their resources were forcefully allocated to the Lang brothers. Now, not to mention a hundred mechanical beasts, they could not even take out a single hair.
“Let’s just fight wantonly.”
Wang Xiao chuckled and grabbed Zhou Xiruo’s hand to pull her into his arms.
“Even if I die, I’ll let them see the characteristics of a Blue Planet lord!”
Zhou Xiruo was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly hugged, but she immediately reacted. She wrapped her arms around Wang Xiao’s waist and smiled sweetly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Qi Lianjun inexplicably felt like an outsider. He smiled bitterly and before he could speak, the mechanical beast had already received the order and rushed out!
At the same time, the mirror image mutated beasts that had just been forced back by the lightning also surrounded it. The mechanical beast did not have time to move at all before it was surrounded by a few mutated beasts!
As all of Zhou Xiruo’s resources had been taken away, the energy to drive the mechanical beast came from what she had asked Qi Lianjun for previously. However, at this moment, it was already covered in fine cracks, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
If it were any other time, Zhou Xiruo would definitely focus on controlling it in order to exchange the least energy for the greatest damage.
However, now that she faced this insurmountable difference in strength, it was meaningless to think too much.
“[Explosive Thunder Flash]!”
As Zhou Xiruo shouted, the [Energy Corel in the mechanical beast’s body began to flicker crazily. All the attack fortifications on its body emitted an ear-piercing buzzing. This was the last attack it could unleash and also the strongest attack!
This was an area-of-effect attack that did not differentiate between friend and foe. However, the only benefit of entering the enemy formation alone was that one did not have to worry about injuring their own people!
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the flames surrounded by lightning exploded!
In an instant, a sea of flames flickered with lightning in a radius of dozens of meters. The air wave sent the surrounding mirror projections flying. A few lower-level soldiers almost turned into light and collapsed on the spot!
In the distance, Lang Buli frowned, as if he did not expect the mechanical beast’s attack to be so powerful. Before he could react, a second explosion actually appeared in the sea of fire!
The power of this explosion was even greater than before.
The area of the lightning sea of fire directly expanded to a hundred meters in radius, and the air wave directly spread a thousand meters away!
The mirror projections of the Raging Lava Bear and the Silver Shadow Leopard that were closest were almost instantly torn into pieces. Although the remaining mirror soldiers did not completely collapse, they were all severely injured!
Wang Xiao and the other two could not dodge in time and were instantly sent flying more than ten meters by the air wave. They landed on the ice and slid for more than ten meters before finally stopping.
As soon as he stabilized himself, Wang Xiao asked in shock, “Xiruo! Why didn’t you tell me earlier that the mechanical beast was so powerful?!”
To Wang Xiao’s surprise, Zhou Xiruo also had a shocked expression. “I didn’t do this! Those [Energy Cores] have already reached their limit. It’s impossible for them to be so powerful!”
“Impossible?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Then, his expression suddenly changed as he thought of something. He hurriedly got up and looked in the direction of the cliff.
At the same time, the Lang brothers at the edge of the cliff were also shocked by the second explosion. When they came back to their senses, they realized that Wang Xiao was looking in their direction from afar, but his focus did not seem to be on them.
“Could it be…”
Lang Buli’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously turned around and looked behind him. Then, he met a pair of crystal clear eyes that were indifferent and emotionless.
“Wang Xiao! We’re here!”
With a roar from the bottom of the cliff, the owner of those indifferent eyes suddenly spread its six white wings and slowly rose into the sky like a god looking down on the world.
A holy aura descended. Everyone was stunned by this beautiful scene.
The slender figure, exquisite facial features, and pure white wings…
It exuded an extreme beauty that exceeded gender norms from head to toe. Compared to it, Fang Tianyu’s [Ice Mountain Saintess] was simply like a woman from a mountain village!
However, the reason why it was considered the best of the holy soldiers was not only because of its beautiful appearance, but also because of its absolute strength!
