Han Xiao naturally didn't want to stay. At this moment, the operator in the control room exclaimed with delight, "We have entered the Reconnaissance range of the [Demonic Eye] model energy detector. The database shows that there is a resident Goddora Guard in this area. The guard will appear in no more than twenty minutes."
The captain was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately announced the good news over the loudspeaker to reassure the passengers.
Seeing this, Han Xiao gave Kerlodd a few instructions and went to provide support alone.
In a panic, Sisoli fled alone towards the spaceship. All his men were captured by Hao Tian and the others. Only he managed to escape when he saw the situation was bad and ran away at the first opportunity. However, he was the only one who survived.
Upon arriving at the place where the scavengers boarded the ship, Sisoli heard sounds of battle ahead. He quickly stopped and cautiously peered into the distance. He saw the remaining scavengers locked in fierce combat with a group of superhumans. He recognized them; they were his companions from the Goddora people, a group of formidable "natives."
The battle was at a stalemate. The leader of the [Gazers] faction remained behind, leading his men in a fierce battle against the players from the Temple and the Dynasty to protect the Scavenger's spaceship.
The leader of the Gazers is a psychic, appearing as a bird-man with wings and an eagle's head. He excels at mental attacks and is currently the most troublesome enemy for the players. He has low mental resistance and is easily stunned by various attacks. He alone has been holding back the players.
Sisoli rushed over and shouted, "Let me up!"
The scavengers, recognizing his companion, quickly made way for him. The leader of the Gazers group turned and grabbed him, coldly asking, "Where is the hostage?"
"No, it's gone! I've been ambushed!"
The leader of the Gazers Ones was furious. They couldn't capture the Goddora people; the operation had failed. The hostages were their last hope, but even they were gone. Wasn't the entire operation a waste? They'd lost a lot of manpower, even the Boneless Bird leader, Snake Braid, had been captured. What a huge loss!
"That bastard Snake Braid, he called us over without investigating this ship properly. This isn't good business. We'll retreat once the Beast Hoof men return. You get back inside!" The Gazers kicked Sisoli back into the ship.
Not long after, another group of scavengers returned, further worsening the situation for the Temple and the Dynasty. The stalemate intensified, and at the command of the Gazers the Tu Shu Gaze, they fought their way back to their spaceship, escaped the Short Horn Star, and fled. The players were powerless to stop them.
In the distance, a series of laser cannons shot out rapidly, killing several scavengers. Reldon finally arrived at the scene, looking calm. Although his left mechanical arm had been blown apart, there was still a secret cannon hidden in his groin, which was spraying high-temperature lasers.
The scavenger hurriedly walked onto the gangway, trying to run back to the spaceship. A green light flashed in Reldon's eyes, and he growled in a low voice. With a wave of his hand, he created green light curtains that blocked the spaceship entrance, preventing the scavenger from entering.
"Don't just stand there, I can't hold them off for long!" Reldon shouted to the players. He was covered in sweat, having exhausted himself fighting the Snake Braid. Maintaining the green light screen required even more concentration and physical exertion. He wouldn't have dared to do this if it weren't for the help of the other passengers.
If they are hindered for even a short while, once the police arrive, these scavengers won't be able to escape.
"Green Knight!" the Gazers roared, unleashing his psychic power. A whirlwind appeared around him, and his powerful mental energy Heavy Strike Reldon in an instant.
Reldon groaned, blood trickling down his nose, but he held on, preventing the green light barrier from dissipating.
The scavengers frantically attacked the green light barrier, which rippled like water but remained stubbornly in place. Some of the scavengers turned and charged at Reldon, only to have the light barrier dissipate once the Green Knight was defeated. The players immediately stopped them.
Radiant light, constant roaring, and utter chaos filled the air.
On the ship, Sisoli was extremely anxious, constantly checking the time, wishing he could abandon everyone else and escape in a spaceship.
Just then, Han Xiao arrived. After surveying the situation, he immediately understood the circumstances and devised the most ruthless tactic: as long as the leader of the Gazers was dealt with, the enemy would be finished.
"A telekinetic master? Their level should be slightly lower than Snake Braid's; they're typically high attack but low defense."
Han Xiao has a high intelligence attribute, so his mental resistance is not bad. Moreover, he is tough and likes to deal with enemies with high attack and low defense. His Willpower Burning has cooled down. Without saying a word, Han Xiao took out [Garetan's Wrath] and fired a shot directly.
boom--
A beam of intense heat shot from the muzzle. The Gazers, alerted, turned around in horror and hastily created a psychic shield, which shattered instantly. The beam of light engulfed half of his body, charring it black. The pale white psychic light in the Gazers's eyes dissipated, and he screamed as he collapsed to the ground.
This shot triggered the [One Shot, One Kill] feat effect, giving a 12% to 25% chance to deal true damage on the first shot at the target.
In Han Xiao's view, the leader of the Gazers ' health dropped from about four-fifths to one-fifth in the blink of an eye!
Such heavy damage immediately inflicted negative statuses such as weakness and serious injury on the Gazers. Han Xiao seized the opportunity, advanced at full speed, knocked away the scavengers blocking his way, rushed into the crowd, and directly controlled the Gazers Leader who had no ability to resist. This series of operations was completed in the blink of an eye. With lightning speed, he took down the scavenger leader that the players had been unable to defeat for a long time.
Although it was a sneak attack, its efficiency surprised everyone. Reldon's pupils shrank, and his eyes followed Han Xiao's figure closely.
"Wow, that's impressive. Is he a mercenary too...?"
The Gazers and Snake Braid are roughly equal in strength, but they have different strengths. Han Xiao's explosive power is best suited for dealing with enemies with high attack and low defense. In contrast, enemies like Snake Braid, who are tanks, are more difficult to defeat. Moreover, this time, true damage was triggered, which can be considered very lucky.
Without their leader, the scavengers were thrown into chaos. Sisoli felt a chill in his heart. Ignoring everything else, he immediately sat in the pilot's seat, ready to start the spaceship and escape alone.
Sisoli immediately closed the hatch, when suddenly he heard a tooth-grinding metallic tearing sound. The hatch, which was half-closed, was ripped open, and Han Xiao stepped in, grabbed Sisoli, and threw him out.
"We meet again." Han Xiao removed his mask and smiled slightly at Sisoli. Although the smile was friendly, it was no different from a wolf or tiger in Sisoli's eyes, with a dangerous aura that pierced his heart.
"It's you! Please, please don't kill me! I know a lot of things, I know a lot of information..." Sisoli was terrified and incoherent, only wanting to beg for mercy.
Bang!
An electromagnetic needle bullet pierced Sisoli's forehead, blowing off half of the back of his head, leaving a trail of red and white marks on the ground.
Han Xiao put away his Gauss Sniping rifle, not even glancing at Sisoli's corpse, and turned to the Temple Dynasty members, saying, "You can handle this."
The remaining scavengers were subjected to a one-sided massacre; none of those who boarded the ship escaped. At this moment, the shaking of the spaceship stopped. Han Xiao looked out the porthole and saw that the scavenger ship that had been harassing the cosmos was fleeing in panic after seeing its comrades wiped out.
Only now has the crisis truly subsided.
"It's finally over. Thankfully, it was a close call."
Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Encountering an attacker in space could easily lead to the destruction of the ship and the loss of life. This little incident made him a bit nervous, but it also awakened his sense of tension in interstellar combat. Having stayed on Planet Aquamarine for too long, Han Xiao's familiarity with interstellar warfare was gradually returning.
Han Xiao was used to summarizing after battles. In this attack, he had made good use of his advantages as a player, splitting his forces and taking control of the overall situation. The unexpected appearance of the group of players was also a pleasant surprise. Overall, he felt he could give himself 82 points.
Only then did Han Xiao have time to look at Reldon beside him, his eyes flashing slightly when he saw the tattered mechanical suit.
"Mechanical implant... Hmm, it should be an advanced modification, and it even has a transformation function..." Out of professional instinct, Han Xiao subconsciously analyzed the technology.
Although Reldon was quite curious about Han Xiao, he remained aloof, standing expressionless to the side without offering any greeting.
"Looks like a lone warrior," Han Xiao thought, then suddenly realized there was something wrong with that statement. He stared at Reldon's crotch for a moment, then thought to himself, "Wrong, it should be 'a warrior without high status'."
