Level 2 Item: City Camouflage

Chapter 16: Level 2 Item - City Camouflage

"Faster, faster!"

Inside the cockpit, Tang Fang said nervously.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely, operating the mechanical arm to clear the spider silk.

On the deck of the Tomorrow, Li Ye led everyone, firing wildly at the spider swarm with the Falcon Assault Rifle.

As a Level 1 rifle, the Falcon Assault Rifle's lethality far surpassed that of normal heavy machine guns and cannons. The Lava Spiders that rushed to the forefront were wiped out in moments.

At this moment, everyone was frantically pulling the trigger, firing non-stop.

Covered by the spider tide, several Elite Captain-level Spider Guards also charged forward. Their bodies were as large as trucks, extremely terrifying.

One of the Spider Guards leaped up and landed directly on the deck of the Azure.

It spat lava-like venom at a nearby cannon. The artilleryman, unable to react in time, melted along with the cannon.

This scene instantly shocked Li Ye.

Fortunately, the combat personnel on the Azure's deck reacted quickly and killed it with intense firepower—using the Falcon Assault Rifle that Li Ye had traded to them earlier.

"Done!"

With Tang Fang's surprised shout, the Tomorrow's power was restored, and it could move again.

Among the three mobile cities, the Tomorrow had the least amount of spider silk wrapped around its tracks and tires.

But Li Ye did not give the order to retreat because the Azure could not move yet, and he couldn't abandon his teammate.

Looking to the other side, the Conqueror was engaged in fierce combat with the Lava Spider Queen.

The Lava Spider Queen had already identified the mobile city in front of it as its primary enemy and began spitting spider silk frantically. At this moment, the entire Conqueror was covered in spider silk, and even the mechanical arm used for clearing the silk was firmly entangled.

During this time, several of its cannons and heavy machine guns were entangled by the spider webs, rendering them unable to fire.

Not only that, but many combat personnel were also trapped by the spider webs, unable to move.

Fortunately, its Level 1 Artillery was still firing. The Lava Spider Queen suffered multiple injuries to its body, and its movements had slowed considerably.

Li Ye's heart suddenly filled with hope.

"Hold on, we can win!"

At this moment, all three mobile cities were going all out—in such a critical situation, no side could harbor selfish intentions.

The bullets and shells from each side were fired as if they were free.

After an unknown amount of time, the spider tide in front of them was finally cleared.

As soon as the Tomorrow and Azure broke free, they quickly moved to support the Conqueror.

Seeing this, the stone that Lei Jian had been holding in his heart finally fell, and he let out a sigh of relief.

His artilleryman, however, had a bitter expression.

"Lord, we only have 3 shells left for our Level 1 Artillery."

Lei Jian's face instantly darkened.

As Level 1 Artillery, the Wind Erosion Cannon's shells could not be manufactured using Level 1 Iron Ore; they required Level 1 Wind Erosion Ore.

Each shell required 10 units of Wind Erosion Ore and 1 unit of Gunpowder.

As a rare ore, Wind Erosion Ore was difficult to find, and sometimes it couldn't even be bought at a high price.

The Conqueror only had 11 Wind Erosion shells in total.

"Sigh, we've taken a huge loss this time."

He thought for a moment, then sighed.

"Don't hold back, fire the remaining three shells. Taking down this field boss is the most important thing. Don't mess up at the last moment."

For a time, all the heavy machine guns, cannons of the three mobile cities, and the personnel on the deck holding Level 1 firearms opened fire in unison. The sky was instantly enveloped by firepower directed at the Lava Spider Queen.

Despite being severely wounded, this field boss still endured the assault of the three mobile cities for several minutes.

It wasn't until the Conqueror fired its last Wind Erosion shell that it let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.

"Phew, we finally took it down."

Li Ye, Li Jin, and Lei Jian all breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a flicker of lingering fear flashed in their eyes.

Without any one of them, they would not have been able to take down this field boss. After this battle, they had a clear understanding of the combat power of field bosses.

The rumors were not wrong. A fully equipped Level 1 mobile city had less than a 30% chance of winning against a field boss.

With its super jump, venomous spit, and the spider tide protecting its surroundings, a single Level 1 mobile city truly couldn't withstand it.

From the beginning of the battle until now, everyone's nerves had been stretched to the absolute limit.

Once they lost, everyone would perish along with their mobile city—that was the nature of battles in the wilderness.

After calming their emotions, everyone looked at the corpse of the Lava Spider Queen.

It was time to open the loot.

[4874 Crystal Coins.]

[1256 units of Level 1 Iron Ore, 976 units of Level 1 Coal, 412 units of Level 1 Fuel.]

[325 units of Lava Spider Silk.]

[Level 1 City Component - Molten Shell.]

[Level 1 Weapon - Lava Spider Fang.]

Faced with the mountain of loot in front of them, everyone was stunned.

They knew that wild BOSSes dropped a lot, but they didn't expect this much. Just the Crystal Coins, Coal, Iron Ore, and Fuel would have taken so long to gather in the wild.

As for the Level 1 City Component - Molten Shell, it belonged to city armor. Its exterior resembled flowing lava and provided a 10% increase in defense, making it an excellent defensive city component.

The Level 1 Weapon looked incredibly cool and had the effect of "dealing burn damage to hit targets."

The three lords couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

And finally, there was the Level 2 Item that dropped.

The type of this Level 2 Item was completely random; it could be Level 2 Crop Seed, Level 2 Firearm, Level 2 City Component, or even a Level 2 Heavy Machine Gun and Level 2 Artillery.

In fact, the moment the Lava Spider Queen was killed, Li Jin and Lei Jian simultaneously looked at Li Ye with complex and subtle gazes.

As allies, they both feared Li Ye suffering hardship and feared Li Ye having a lucky break.

Li Ye, on the other hand, looked at the Level 2 Item with fervent eyes.

Judging by its appearance, this Level 2 Item strongly resembled a radio, its casing faintly glowing.

[Item Name: City Camouflage]

[Item Level: Level 2]

[Effect: Activates a camouflage field that envelops the entire Mobile City, allowing it to completely blend into its surroundings.]

[Notes: Activating City Camouflage consumes 5% energy each time. Subsequent maintenance of the camouflage consumes 6% energy per hour. This City Camouflage can only be maintained while in a static state.]

"What a great item!" Li Jin and Lei Jian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, filled with envy.

"Thank you both."

Li Ye shook hands with them one by one, then unceremoniously took the Level 2 Item.

According to the original agreement, this Level 2 Item belonged to him, and the rest of the loot had nothing to do with him.

As the strongest party in the three-city alliance and the one who contributed the most in the battle, Lei Jian felt a bit unwilling to see the best loot taken away.

However, the Lava Spider Silk they obtained this time somewhat compensated for his disappointment.

Lava Spiders had a chance to drop 1-3 units of Lava Spider Silk, while Spider Guards dropped 10-20 units. As for the Lava Spider Queen, she dropped a massive 325 units of Lava Spider Silk.

In total, they dropped 536 units of Lava Spider Silk.

"It's not too bad," Lei Jian couldn't help but nod.
