Fighting the Mad Lion
After the Frenzied Lion formed by flames disappeared, changes occurred on Er Duo's Mecha.
His Mecha's hands, feet, tail base, and head were all engulfed in flames.
"He's changed forms! Everyone be careful..." Just as Sister Hua was about to remind everyone that he had switched to the next form, Er Duo had already appeared in front of him, and a punch wrapped in flames sent her flying far away.
Fortunately, one of the Shaman Mecha in the team managed to link him with Old Ma beside him in time, otherwise she would have been instantly killed.
The pilot of the Shaman Mecha who made the move was named Fairy Jingzhe. She was the only non- Old Wang's team Mecha to break into the top ten in the first boss battle.
Moreover, she wasn't Player from the Future Guild's First Group, but rather Normal Player recruited from the Second Group.
Judging from their responsiveness, it's no wonder they were able to break into the top ten.
"Keep an eye on her and try to sign her!" Wang Qianduo and the others exchanged thoughts silently upon seeing the situation.
They were exchanging words, but their hands didn't stop moving; a group of Defense Mech immediately surrounded Sister Hua.
The duration of the Flame Command had actually expired, but Er Duo had clearly discovered the core position of Sister Hua's Mecha, which was why he kept targeting him.
Er Duo, having activated the Blazing Lion Fist, moved at an unbelievable speed.
After his attack failed to achieve the desired effect, he didn't linger in the fight but instead turned his attention to other opponents.
This has created a huge problem for both damage dealers and support teams. Since everyone was focused on dealing damage and their positioning was already chaotic, Er Duo enter the fray is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Wang Qianduo and his group of Defense Mech had no time to provide assistance. He first leaped up and unleashed an Earthsplitter Fist, causing billowing flames to erupt from the ground, instantly reducing the team by 15 members.
Then, without stopping, he began chasing after the others, his ferocity far exceeding everyone's expectations.
However, while evading his pursuit, the group noticed something else.
That means that even when no one is attacking him, Er Duo's health is still dropping, so it seems that his burst skill is not without its costs.
"Everyone scatter and buy time!"
At Sister Hua's command, the members of the Future Guild immediately began to disperse, with several Defense Mech protecting several support units and employing the "Iron Turtle" tactic.
A defensive Mecha surrounds the outer ring, while a support Mecha in the center links them together and continuously restores their status. This "Iron Turtle" tactic involves only defending and not attacking.
As for the other Damage Mech, they were scattered around, left to their own devices and fate.
Although Er Duo's damage was terrifying, even after using his area-of-effect skills, he couldn't do anything to the "Iron Turtle" in the center of the square. He could only chase after the various damage dealers.
However, the Damage Mech were too scattered, and some of them had ways to save their lives, which made Er Duo start to run around in circles.
Unfortunately, after killing three Mecha, he set his sights on Xiao Hai's Shadow Blade Mecha.
The Shadow Blade Mecha's Shadow Dive abilities are perfectly suited to this already gloomy Planet.
Faced with Er Duo's Ambush iron fist, Xiao Hai did not dodge, but simply stood there motionless.
Er Duo thought he had given up, but after he hit Xiao Hai, he actually passed right through Xiao Hai's body.
Unconvinced, he threw over a dozen punches, but to no avail.
Unharmed, Xiao Hai calmly turned around and looked at him while piloting the Shadow Blade, then slowly raised a middle finger at him.
Erduo Er Duo was already somewhat irritable, could not stand such Taunt. The flames on his body suddenly surged, and then a blazing lion enveloped him.
Then, with his Ambush, the lion formed of flames let out a silent roar and pounced towards Xiao Hai.
Flames streaked through the air, Er Duo pierced through Xiao Hai's body once more. This time, Xiao Hai was no longer unscathed.
His body began to burn little by little, and was quickly engulfed by flames.
But after something like a shadow flowed down, Xiao Hai and the flames vanished without a trace.
From the shadow of a building, Xiao Hai, still at full health, slowly emerged. It turned out that what Er Duo had attacked earlier were his shadow clones.
Er Duo became even angrier upon discovering this, but a bolt of lightning from the sky struck Old Wang and instantly brought him to his senses.
Er Duo was shocked to see that he only had 30% health left. Had he really gotten to this point?
After fighting for so long, this was the first time he felt fear. He felt that today's enemy was different from the "pigs and sheep" of the past.
This difference isn't about length, but about being different.
The "pigs and sheep" looked much like them, and some of his companions would even fight over the female "pigs and sheep".
He couldn't understand their thinking. The Father God said they weren't even the same species, so how could a human look down on "pigs and sheep"?
While the "pigs and sheep" carried large quantities of goods and possessed even larger ships, they would essentially be slaughtered after putting up a few resistances.
But today they were very different; they seemed even more insane than his companions, utterly unafraid of death.
Those he caught up with and killed would attack him one last time before dying, showing no sign of surrender whatsoever.
This frightened him somewhat!
No! He mustn't be afraid! Father God said he was Black Shark's most powerful warrior, how could he be afraid?
He must fulfill the task entrusted to him by the Father God and kill these invaders, these damned inferior creatures, "Pigs and sheep."
Er Duo thought this, flames seemed to ignite in the eyes of the Rampaging Lion Mecha, and then raging flames erupted from its body, engulfing the entire Rampaging Lion Mecha once again.
The terrifying heat of the flames melted the ground, and everyone's attacks were blocked by the flames.
"Did this kid do something stupid and set himself on fire?" Old Ma.
"Old Ma, deduct five points!" Sister Hua.
"Haha! Serves you right," the Night Owl.
"Night Owl, deduct five points!"
Night Owl:"..."
"He's about to enter the next phase, so everyone be careful."
Currently, one of his three question mark skills is immunity to crowd control, so this should be one of the other two.
"Everyone, hurry up and recover your health and apply your buffs!" After killing two "chickens" as a warning to others, Sister Hua said to everyone.
Then everyone immediately began to recover their strength. After they were fully restored, the flames on Er Duo's body also disappeared.
The original Blazing Lion Mecha has disappeared; now, a true red steel lion has appeared there.
Its four legs tread on fire, and flames form its mane, though the shadow of the Er Duo Blazing Lion Mecha can be vaguely seen on its head.
The Mecha in front of everyone was indeed still the Blazing Lion with headphones; it had only changed its form, and it was now at full health.
"It's deformed!" Wang Qianduo exclaimed in shock.
"Not only has he transformed, he's also fully charged!" Lin Qimeng exclaimed.
"Yeah! Transformation isn't the point, full health is, right?" Night Owl.
"No, you don't understand! The Rampaging Lion Mecha to completely transform is a Rare ability that can only be obtained after reaching level 30 and undergoing the third job advancement."
"In other words, this is a Mecha that has evolved three times. No wonder that skill is so terrifying!" Wang Qianduo said.
He got this information from the training manual for the Azure-Winged Dragon that his Master, Old Luo, gave him, because the Azure-Winged Dragon is a Mecha with transformation capabilities.
"Is that so, boss? Do you think he might hold the secret to helping Player break through to the third job advancement?" a level 30 Player in the team asked.
"The secret to breaking through level 30? I don't know. Logically speaking, the damage output of the Star River Ten Thousand Miles is already sufficient. I haven't reached level 30 yet, so I don't know what they're lacking."
"But I have a feeling this Instance Dungeon will give them a final boost, and they shouldn't be too far from breaking through level 30!" Wang Qianduo.
"We're getting off-topic, we're doing Instance Dungeon run!" Sister Hua interrupted Old Wang, giving the Player asked the question a meaningful look.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's talk about the Instance Dungeon."
Transformation plus full health recovery—that must be one of those two question mark skills.
But restoring someone to full health right away is a bit much. Could that skill have interrupted it? Wang Qianduo asked.
"Whether we can interrupt it or not, we have to fight. Miracle Old Ma, go and engage the monster right now, let us see how powerful he is!" Sister Hua said.
"OK!"
After Sword of Miracles and Old Ma agreed, the two charged at the Rampaging Lion Mecha once again, reigniting the flames of war.
But Er Duo, inside the Blazing Lion Mecha, only glanced at them before heading back towards Sister Hua and the others.
As soon as the Lion Rampage began, his health started to drop again.
"Use the same tactics as before!" Sister Hua said immediately when she saw his health points dropping.
The Defense Mech immediately assembled, while the Damage Mech scattered and fled.
However, the same moves are useless against Saints. Although Er Duo is not a Saint, he is a true genius.
In the Black Shark Pirates' environment, where people are not treated like human beings, he was able to successfully awaken Rare evolved Mecha through his own abilities and even grow to the third evolution, which proves his talent.
Er Duo didn't chase after the Damage Mech; instead, he leaped above the "iron turtle" formation formed by the group.
The lion opened its mouth wide, spewing forth raging flames, its target the Support Mech surrounded by Defense Mech.
They truly hadn't expected such a turn of events; they clearly couldn't withstand that blazing inferno.
But the Iron Turtle wasn't without a way to deal with this attack; two Defense Mech rose up and used their bodies to block the flames.
However, they underestimated Er Duo. His attack on the central Mecha was a ruse; his real purpose was to lure them up to the sky!
Although the two Mecha blocked the flames, the Blazing Lion immediately pounced, its claws striking and sending them flying far away, successfully opening a gap in the Iron Turtle's defenses.
Before anyone could react, he landed directly in the center of the group and unleashed the Earth-Splitting Fist once more, instantly engulfing everyone in flames.
Meanwhile, the flames from his mouth didn't stop, continuing to harm everyone, completely ignoring the attacks from Wang Qianduo and the others.
The raging flames ravaged the battlefield, and everyone's health plummeted.
Sister Hua and the others simply couldn't withstand the successive heavy blows; they even found it Hard to escape.
