Chapter 357
At the moment her skill failed, the robot turned its head, its eye screen lighting up, and the antenna on its head began to bend toward her.
The second time... failure!
The third time... the fourth time...
In just a second, the robot had completely turned to face her.
In the second second, a beam of red light shot toward Yu Xunge. She had already begun to fly toward the robot in an S-shaped trajectory as soon as she activated her skill, and she narrowly dodged the red beam.
But almost instantly, a second attack came!
Fortunately, the passive effect of 【Sleeping Fairy Tale】 only caused her to lose 30% of her health, and the red beam immediately rebounded, striking the Y-type robot instead.
In the third second, the Y-type robot staggered back from its own red beam. Meanwhile, the two robots that had not yet entered the light gate stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Yu Xunge.
The sixth time... the seventh time...
The eighth time... success!!!
A cold, cup-shaped item appeared in her hand. Without even glancing at it, she shoved it into Tu Lan's hands, instructing her to use her essence points to store it in her space pocket—just to be safe, she also handed over B8017913.
Yu Xunge didn’t stop; she kept going.
Tu Lan cast every healing skill she had on Yu Xunge, layering several continuous healing spells.
In the fourth second, three beams of red light shot toward Yu Xunge in quick succession.
At this point, she was only two meters away from the Y-type robots. She called out to Tu Lan, “Back!”
Tu Lan immediately dove back into the pet space, even canceling a healing spell she was about to cast, not wasting a moment.
Two of the three red beams missed, but Yu Xunge's health dropped to 33%. She quickly canceled the half-used Emerald Feast, halting the healing.
At this moment, all the players in the marketplace turned to look. They didn’t understand why there were players fighting in what was supposed to be a safe zone, but that didn’t stop them from watching the spectacle.
【Chapter 454: The Escape】
In the final second, Yu Xunge activated 【I Want to Improve So Badly】 three times in a row.
A secret echoed in her mind.
Her health was down to just 3%.
And thus, the five seconds ended!
But it wasn’t enough! She had only succeeded twice—how could that be enough?!
Tu Lan had once remarked that once Yu Xunge set her mind to it, she became greedier than the dragon clan.
—Activate the essence version of 【Mysterious Power】!
Yu Xunge's health plummeted to 1%, her health bar locked!
Under the essence enhancement, the skill's duration remained unchanged at 24 hours, and each time she was attacked by a new target unit, her health would still decrease by 0.2%. What changed was the phrase “cannot be healed during the locked health period”!
This meant that as long as the number of players attacking her didn’t exceed five, her chances of dying on the spot were almost zero.
Because even if the three Y-series robots attacked her, as long as she didn’t die immediately and managed to restore her health back to 1%, their subsequent attacks would be ineffective.
At this moment, she had already dove down beside the last Y-type robot.
—Activate the essence version of 【Renovate】!!
In that instant, every part, module, and component of the robot numbered Y125 glowed in Yu Xunge's eyes.
She had been fixated on this robot not just because it was at the back of the line, but also because its number was the shortest!
Yu Xunge reached out to those modules, directly starting the renovation on the enemy! A treasure mine here, a gem there.
She had discovered this skill's new use when she had kidnapped Yu Xunhuan; it could directly dismantle the enemy's equipment for renovation.
As long as there was no soul binding, it could be transformed into a new item, and a brand new item would no longer belong to the enemy; ownership would belong to the player who performed the renovation—Yu Xunge!
Ah, you say this is yours?
Not anymore; it’s not the same thing. What evidence do you have to claim it’s yours?
No, it has changed; it’s mine now.
From the moment she discovered this skill's potential, she had wanted to use it in battle to strip her enemies of their armor.
Skills rained down on her, but no matter how the three Y-type robots attacked Yu Xunge, they couldn’t kill her. Her health hovered at 0.4% for a brief moment before she used a healing skill to bring it back to 1%.
After that, all attacks hitting Yu Xunge failed to inflict any damage.
Moreover, Yu Xunge was delighted to find that while 【Mysterious Power】 was in effect, it didn’t interfere with the rebound effect of 【Absurd Story】.
So she continued to renovate while taking hits, watching the energy levels of the three robots steadily decline.
Though a lot had happened, it had been less than 10 seconds since B8017913 had been freed from the Star Network.
Many players had only just noticed the battle, while the robots tasked with maintaining order in the marketplace were on their way, with the first few arriving and shifting into combat mode.
【Renovate】 required time to fuse; the more precious and incompatible the items, the longer the fusion took.
However, Yu Xunge was using the essence version, which not only allowed her to forcibly fuse items that normally couldn’t be combined but also shortened the fusion time!
Soon, behind her, two combat-mode mechs raised their guns, aiming at Yu Xunge.
The Y-type robots, realizing they couldn’t inflict damage, immediately halted their attacks and began to change tactics to capture Yu Xunge alive.
Several skill nets had already been deployed. Yu Xunge planned to escape, but at that moment, she noticed the antenna on Y125’s head, which she had fitted with a treasure mine, had successfully undergone renovation!
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge activated 【One-Person Party】.
“I declare that the mechanical clan and I cannot use any blocking or binding skills to restrict the actions of players without game qualifications on the field!”
All mechanical clan members, regardless of their state, lit up with a timer: 10:00.
A countdown also appeared above Yu Xunge’s head.
This was a rule she had to abide by, and it would definitely take effect for 10 minutes!
The skill net that had just been connected a second ago completely dispersed, and Yu Xunge yanked down the antenna connected to the donut treasure mine from Y125’s head!
Then she began to use her shadow shift to escape.
At this point, she couldn’t afford to die.
Because under the effect of 【Mysterious Power】, even if she tried to harm herself, she could only deal one hit...
Truly a wicked game of survival...
When Yu Xunge's health was at 100%, others could only deal 30% damage with a single hit. After finally getting her down to 1%, each hit could only take away 0.2%, and each account could only hit once.
In such a dire situation with attacks coming thick and fast, she didn’t dare to walk the tightrope and let her health drop to 0.2%, as that could easily lead to disaster.
Yu Xunge had not been to many places in the marketplace; after shadow shifting twice, she could only rely on her wings to fly and escape.
The best-case scenario now was that while the mechanical clan pursued her, she could extend her attack distance while controlling the frequency of her hits, planning to self-destruct when her health was at 0.2%.
The plan sounded great, but executing it was another story.
Not to mention the marketplace was so small, with mechanical clan members everywhere; at least a dozen had already switched to combat mode and were chasing her.
She didn’t even hear the sound of skills being cast before her health suddenly dropped to 0.4%.
In this situation, Yu Xunge couldn’t afford to gamble; she immediately used a healing skill to bring her health back to 1%.
On top of that, there were those players who were just there to watch the chaos.
Bound by the rules, they couldn’t attack; violating the marketplace rules would incur penalties far worse than breaking their own game rules, but they could still be a nuisance by deliberately blocking her path.
Yu Xunge glared at a player from another race who was intentionally obstructing her, their combat power quite high—level 14?
With a cold smirk, she raised her hand and slapped the player across the face.
A loud, crisp “smack” echoed as the player’s head snapped to the side.
Fool, you can’t hit me, but I can hit you!
After the slap, she continued her escape.
She was searching for the well that had appeared in the marketplace before.
Even if it turned out to be a furnace or something else, it was better than staying in this marketplace.
Yu Xunge flew toward the corners of the marketplace, and whenever she encountered players deliberately blocking her path, she raised her hand and slapped them.
She had never felt so exhilarated; the thrill of having only 1% health but slapping anyone who crossed her path was intoxicating.
It was a feeling of reckless abandon.
Those players she slapped wanted to retaliate, but behind her was a whole squad...
As the number of mechanical clan members chasing her swelled to over thirty, Yu Xunge finally spotted a well.
She dashed straight in, but instead of letting herself fall, she used her wings to glide down slowly, glancing back at the well’s opening from time to time.
After descending about three meters, she pried a gem from the well wall and stashed it away, then clung to the wall, using Anima Magus to transform into a small spider and crawl into the little hole left by the gem.
Activating the divine gift skill 【Survive to the End】.
Transforming into the gem, she replaced the original gem in that spot.
【Chapter 485: The Secret Stolen】
Almost as soon as she transformed into the gem, shadows of the mechanical clan appeared at the well’s opening.
They exchanged glances, silently communicating something, and soon began to leave one by one.
As a lifeless object, Yu Xunge had no perception of the outside world; this was the biggest flaw of this skill.
