Chapter 342: Dogfight
“All combat hover copters, fall back!”
“Evasive actions!”
“Main cannons ready to fire, D-tier destructive energy rounds armed, ready to engage!”
As Hu Liang gave the orders, the barrels of the energy cannons slowly turned to the skies.
Delay was not an option in battle.
“Fire!”
Boom!
A three-meter round exploded across the sky.
It looked like a rocket ship that aimed for the sky from afar.
After the round had traveled more than ten thousand meters, it began to turn downward.
The dozens of combat hover copters were hovering a thousand meters away. They looked on as the round landed upon the swarms of bugs.
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted.
The flashpoint pierced through the sky.
A huge mushroom cloud rose out from the eruption.
Soon, the flashpoint vanished. A cloud of dense smoke spiraled into the skies.
An innumerable amount of fragmented insectoid bodies covered the ground.
They were all taken out by the violent explosion!
“Looks like that round didn’t do much!” said Qin Feng.
Everyone on the Sky Dweller was taken aback.
“Come on, that was a D-tier destructive energy around. Theoretically, it could wound a beast emperor!”
“You’d have to hit it first!” Qin Feng shrugged.
The smoke began to disperse. Something was emerging from the center of the swarm.
There was a crater in the middle, almost a hundred meters in diameter. Underneath that, a golden light came into sight.
Creak!
The light began to crack!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen crawled out soon after.
For now, it did not receive much damage.
“Screech!”
The Golden Sand Worm Queen screeched out loudly. It produced a huge suction force that pulled in the combat hover copters toward it.
“Oh no, we better run!”
The aptitude users were horrified.
At that moment, a bunch of purple-colored combat hover copters began to fire erratically.
Some of the cannon fires were directed toward the Golden Sand Worm Queen. But most of them were fired at the combat hover copters in front.
Boom!
A combat hover copter was directly hit. It lost balance and crashed into the ground.
With no means of resisting, the combat hover copters were directly sucked into the queen’s mouth.
The crew members leaped out from the choppers in an attempt to save themselves.
Qin Feng’s face turned grim.
“Dammit, it’s the Leitangs!”
“What the hell are they doing? Are they trying to kill us all?”
“Quick, we need to know their status!”
The people on the Sky Dweller were enraged.
***
Elsewhere, the five or six combat choppers of the Leitang Organization were flying in a dazzling manner above the battlefield.
Lei Chang was in one of them. He showed a grim smile as he ordered, “Lin Shi, knock that Sky Dweller out of the sky. Isn’t he rich? I’d like to see what he can do with his wealth! Those who are fated to crash shall eventually!”
Lin Shi was full of confidence within the chopper. As a D-tier gunner, he had vast experience in piloting the combat hover copter. He naturally agreed.
“That Qin Feng may be strong, but within the chopper he’s just a caged tiger. He won’t be able to escape; I’ll offer him to the purgatory!”
Lin Shi aimed his rounds precisely at the Sky Dweller.
***
On top of the Sky Dweller.
Qin Feng pulled up his stick. The Sky Dweller was flying at full speed.
The Sky Dweller managed to evade eight out of ten rounds. The other two rounds landed on the Sky Dweller.
Bzzt!
The Sky Dweller’s shield was flickering crazily.
The seven or eight crew members in the Sky Dweller turned pale. They saw how the D-tier aptitude users who escaped from the crashed chopper were surrounded by the golden sand worms.
There was only a feeling of fear!
The people who asked what was going on shut their mouths!
Was there a need to ask at this moment?
Was there a need to ask at all?
The Leitangs intended to kill them!
Qin Feng calmly and quickly put on his flight helmet.
“Consciousness connection!”
In a split second, Qin Feng could feel his consciousness expanding to cover every part of the combat hover copter.
The many sensory buttons made him feel like he was the combat hover copter himself.
As his consciousness expanded, his senses had spread out as well. He could see everything that was going on on the battlefield.
Qin Feng locked on toward a direction. There was a purple chopper there.
Swoosh!
A streak of energy ray went in the direction of the chopper.
The chopper’s energy shield flickered for a moment. Its shield was severely weakened by the blow.
Qin Feng’s Sky Dweller was equipped with only energy cannons. It could only fire energy photons!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A row of light began to be fired in a dazzling array. There was no need to conserve ammo at all.
Clang!
The enemy’s energy shield was shattered.
“Go to hell!”
Qin Feng huffed coldly. Using his consciousness, the light hit the side wing of the enemy chopper.
Boom!
The hovering system was destroyed. The enemy chopper crashed to the ground!
The Sky Dweller tore across the sky like a victorious knight.
Brrrt!
Numerous rounds of cannon fires erupted from behind.
Qin Feng made a swirl across the sky. In a few explosions of light, the pursuing rounds were destroyed.
Not only that, he had now appeared at the back of those crafts.
Bzzt! Bzzt!
A huge prism of light exploded.
A purple craft attempted to dodge evasively but its shield was hit by the light. The shield shattered immediately as it was already at its limit.
But the light caught another purple craft up ahead.
Boom!
The hover copter disintegrated!
The E-tier gunner pilot let out a shriek. His body was vaporized!
There were three other D-tiers that were caught in the wake of the explosion. They would not be able to return to the skies!
“Bastards, let’s kill him!”
Lei Chang was furious.
Lei Chang’s hover copter was the one that had its shield destroyed.
Lin Shi, who was piloting the craft, turned pale as well. That was too close for comfort!
For a gunner, especially a D-tier who could pilot the hover copter, a pilot going down with his craft is all too common.
Therefore, Lin Shi who narrowly escaped death almost lost it just now.
“F*ck, I don’t believe it. There must be another gunner on the craft. I’m gonna see who it is!”
Lin Shi quickly put on his flight helmet.
In an instant, his consciousness merged with the combat hover copter.
The two began to engage in an erratic dogfight.
The fight grew fierce.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bzzt! Bzzt!!
Swoosh!
Rounds were flying across the sky. Hover copters were falling down continuously.
It was not that they did not want to dodge, the combat hover copters they were piloting had no D-tier gunner interface. Although five of Leitang’s combat hover copters were not D-tier as well, their choppers were still miles ahead of the standard-issue ones from the Human Alliance.
And then there was the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The unlucky ones could only fall to the grounds.
There were only machines battling across the sky.
