Luo Lei nodded, "I'll turn this thing off first."

She looked toward the laser column, lifted her right arm, and black armor flowed like water, out of which a bullet emerged.

The bullet whistled out, weaving like a fish through the blue laser beams, shooting straight towards the source of this blue river.

Bang!

Sizzle~

Amid the sound of electric sparks, the blue laser came to a halt, and the roar of the power operation unwillingly issued its last note.

"Let's go," Luo Lei led the way.

Li Qianxia slung Itheri over her shoulder with a backward hand and, with steel spear in hand, quickly followed.

They had barely walked a few steps.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and all three staggered, Luo Lei instinctively reached out to support Li Qianxia but found her standing firmly in place.

"For a martial artist, a stable center of gravity is a fundamental skill," Li Qianxia explained blandly, showing no signs of the reluctance she had when Li Changzhou first forced her to learn.

Luo Lei gave a slight nod.

"They're heading your way!" shouted the Dinosaur Head Warrior through the communicator.

"Is that really Akulu's true body, and he's willing to let the Mechanical Beasts attack himself?" Itheri didn't understand.

"The Angel is also heading there, over," Bi also spoke through the communicator.

Itheri's expression changed, understanding that the Mechanical Beasts were there to provide materials for the Angel to assemble a small flying craft.

Given the size of a small flying craft, it could flow through Akulu's massive metallic body like blood.

"Stop them!" Itheri commanded.

"I'll do my best! Da Yi, Hu Hou, support me!"

"We're also trying our best..." Da Yi and Hu Hou sounded like they barely had any strength to spare.

After exiting the communication, Itheri turned to Luo Lei and said, "This won't work, you—"

Before she could finish speaking, two chains suddenly whipped out of the ground, wrapping around Luo Lei's hands like snakes and dragging her to the ground.

A shadow flashed, and a Mechanical Beast emerged from the barren ceiling as if it had drilled out of the water, pouncing on Luo Lei as if to devour her.

Luo Lei straightened her slender legs and caught the Mechanical Beast between them like a cleaver trapping a blade.

With a flick of her legs, she tossed the Mechanical Beast aside.

Thump!

The Mechanical Beast crashed onto another that was leaping towards them.

Li Qianxia's eyes emitted red light, focusing on the shackles locking Luo Lei.

"Watch out!" Luo Lei saw something behind Li Qianxia.

Itheri's brainwaves swept out but did not "catch" the target; its speed was incredible!

Li Qianxia didn't dodge or hide, instead, she reached back and pulled Itheri in front of her to protect her.

"Hiss!" A small, extremely fast Mechanical Beast bit down on Li Qianxia's shoulder.

Agonizing pain, coupled with a heavy pressure, forced Li Qianxia onto one knee.

Itheri finally caught it, disabling the small Mechanical Beast and commanding it to let go!

Blood flowed, directly perforating her shoulder front to back, and Li Qianxia's left arm slumped down weakly.

She turned off the red beam; amidst her weak gasps, Luo Lei, with her hands freed, used her waist strength and planted the palms of her feet on the ground, propelling herself upright with red Light Wave Blades shining on the back of both hands.

Hiss! Hiss!

Two small Mechanical Beasts were chopped in half.

A series of actions, precise and graceful.

Li Qianxia swallowed a Blood Pearl, and Heavenly Fire descended in her mind, tightening her body like it was ablaze, and with that Strength, she swatted the steel spear out.

Thump!

A small Mechanical Beast was sent flying, crashing into another, but neither sustained any damage.

Even with the Visualization technique, the power Li Qianxia unleashed was still not enough to contend with these alien metal monsters.

But in the moment she hit it, Itheri seized the opportunity and disabled the two Mechanical Beasts.

Luo Lei glanced at Li Qianxia's wound, which, although covered in blood, showed signs of Healing according to the helmet's data analysis. Without any further words, she took the lead and charged ahead.

Li Qianxia got to her feet, again carrying Itheri on her back, and followed closely.

The three of them advanced, killing as they went, disabling several Mechanical Beasts intermittently through injuries until they entered another passage where all electronic devices failed.

The army of machinery that had been scraped together lay collapsed and useless.

The enemy couldn't enter either, giving Itheri a chance to speak.

"Luo Lei, I need you to draw attention, to let us re-enter stealth mode!"

Luo Lei gave a quick nod; her black armor was thinner than before.

"Keep moving!" Itheri wasn't seduced by the safety of the passage; the longer they stayed in the enemy's interior, the harder it would be to leave.

Before the enemy's grand army could fully arrive, the three of them charged out.

As soon as they left, Luo Lei was kicked away with such Great Strength that she flew like a cannonball, grazing past Li Qianxia and the others.

Across from them was a furry alien, which, if one ignored its terrifying muscles, looked quite adorable.

Itheri held back from acting, standing quietly against the wall with Li Qianxia, searching for an opportunity to move forward.

The Fuzzy Star being took a couple of steps, suddenly casting a tail from behind that struck like lightning, aiming for Luo Lei's neck.

Luo Lei, lying on the ground, had no means of escape.

She lifted her arms, crossed over her chest, and the red Light Wave Blade came to life with a buzz.

The tide of the battle instantly turned.

The Fuzzy Star being's tail was severed upon contact, falling to the ground with a flop and rolling far away with momentum.

It bared its teeth in a grin, and its hands, as if unaffected by the pain, grabbed Luo Lei's arms.

Her black Armor emitted a powerful drive, and the muscles in the Fuzzy Star being's arms swelled, hardening like metal.

Luo Lei glanced toward the two in hiding, signaling: Go!
