Chapter 314 Foxtail
Chapter 314 Foxtail
In short, having an extra way to save her life is naturally a good thing. She turned and walked towards her mecha, ready to devote herself to practice.
Everyone began practicing in their mechs, quickly becoming familiar with the basic controls. At first, even walking wasn't smooth, and flying was even harder, not to mention the more challenging maneuvers. Initially, the mechs lurched across the grass like a group of drunken giants, with occasional crashes and exclamations from the team members. But as time went on, they gradually mastered the techniques of balance and movement, and the mechs' movements became increasingly fluid. They began experimenting with simple steering and acceleration maneuvers. While still unfamiliar, they were already making significant progress.
After half a day of practice, everyone was able to walk smoothly, and even some running and jumping movements were gradually accomplished. The team members gradually found their feeling in the mecha. The originally stiff operation became natural, and the mecha's steps also changed from the initial stumbling to steady and powerful. Each leap was filled with a bit of confidence.
They didn't move forward that afternoon, but stayed here to continue practicing their coordination with their mechs. The sun shone on the grass, and the mechs' metal shells reflected a dazzling light. The team members were concentrating on controlling the mechs, practicing the connection and coordination of various movements, striving to achieve a state of unity between man and machine.
Normally, once a hunting party enters the forest, it's impossible to return in just one or two days. After all, the forest is vast and full of insects. This forest is like a mysterious and vast behemoth, hiding countless unknown dangers and opportunities.
"Captain, why don't we go into the forest today? There aren't any Zerg around here." Liu Shaojie looked at Ren Lin in confusion. He scratched his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Let's set up camp here for today!" Ren Lin didn't answer his question, but gave the order directly. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of thought in his eyes.
"Yes!" Liu Shaojie knew exactly when to joke and when to be serious. He immediately put away his puzzled expression and turned to arrange the camping arrangements, his movements quick and efficient.
Ren Lin looked up at the way they came. He always wanted to find Nangong Jingming's team, but he clearly rejected their invitation. However, he really wanted to act with them. He always felt that this team of people was a little mysterious.
He was struggling between entanglement and curiosity. On the one hand, he respected the other party's choice, but on the other hand, he could not suppress his desire to explore.
He walked alone behind a big tree and shouted to the air, "An Yi, go follow that team. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, remember to help!" His voice was low and firm, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Yes." A skilled man suddenly appeared and then disappeared just as suddenly. Like a ghost, An Yi instantly blended into the surroundings and crept towards Nangong Jingming's team.
Nangong Jingming and his team had practiced with the mecha for three days on this small patch of grass. They could now perform some simple combat moves while driving the mecha. The mecha's arms swung with vigor and the kicks had gained strength and speed. While not yet proficient, they had made significant progress.
"Boss, shouldn't we go in and try our skills?" Ye Xuexin looked at Nangong Jingming expectantly. His eyes gleamed with excitement, and he was eager to try.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Nangong Jingming asked. He looked at Ye Xuexin with a look of scrutiny and consideration.
"Sure, my mecha is now capable of performing many difficult maneuvers," Ye Xuexin said confidently. He puffed out his chest, demonstrating his confidence.
"Okay, let's go to the place where the Zerg have recently appeared and give it a try!" Nangong Jingming said after thinking for a moment. He was also full of anticipation, hoping to test the team members' training results through actual combat.
Everyone heard it and shouted excitedly. The cheers echoed on the grass, breaking the original tranquility.
"Haha, now I can really test the power of this mecha." Pan Zhouwen laughed happily. His face was filled with joy, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
The others also excitedly packed up their things and headed towards their destination in a group, their steps firm and their eyes revealing a desire for unknown challenges.
An Yi quietly left after seeing them leave. He had been observing them from a distance, not staring at them constantly, and had no ill intentions, so Nangong Jingming and the others didn't realize someone was watching them. An Yi hid in the woods, like a sharp cheetah, always paying attention to the movements of Nangong Jingming's team.
An Yi quickly found his master. His movements were light and swift, and he appeared in front of Ren Lin silently.
"Your Highness, they've set out hunting," An Yi reported. He knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and spoke respectfully.
"Oh, you didn't get discovered today, did you?" Ren Lin asked, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"No, I was far away. They were practicing mecha operations the whole time. I felt their movements were very awkward, as if they were just learning how to use mechas." An Yi summarized what he had seen over the past few days and reported what he had observed truthfully.
"I understand. Don't pay too much attention to them. If you encounter anything they can't handle, let me know." Ren Lin didn't intend to follow them; he simply wanted to protect one or two of them. He felt they were genuinely ignorant of the interstellar situation. Although they were trying to hide it, he wasn't stupid, and it was easy for him to see. He had his own judgment and considerations, maintaining a tolerant and friendly attitude.
But regardless of where they came from, as long as they bore no ill will towards their galaxy, he wouldn't pursue them. The world was vast, full of wonders. Sometimes, there was no need to delve too deeply into many matters; anyone who benefited from them was a friend. He was broad-minded, possessing an extraordinary open-mindedness.
"Yes." An Yi disappeared in front of Ren Lin again, and then followed Nangong Jingming and his team from a distance. He once again blended into the darkness, following his target like a shadow.
Nangong Jingming led a group of people forward. After walking for half a day, they encountered a Zerg, a very strange Zerg that they had never seen before. The Zerg's body was strangely shaped, its shell shimmered with a strange luster, and its tentacles kept shaking, emitting a mysterious aura.
Su Siyi immediately used the Star Network to check what kind of Zerg this was. She was now proficient in operating the Star Network, searching intently for relevant information.
"Brother Nangong, this Zerg is called a Foxtail. It's a species that likes to act alone and is very fast. Everyone, please be careful." Su Siyi said to them. Her voice was clear and loud, and she reminded everyone in time.
"It's too fast. I'm afraid we're a little too slow to operate the mecha. But since we've encountered this, we should practice our speed more." Nangong Jingming thought for a moment and decided to let everyone try using the mecha. He frowned and thought about how to deal with it.
"Boss, there's only one! We can't have so many people attack it at once! Let me try it alone first!" Ye Xuexin asked expectantly. His eyes were filled with desire, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills.
"Okay, then you go first. Zhilun, be ready to pick him up at any time." Nangong Jingming thought about it and realized that too many people wouldn't be suitable. It would be better to let one person try his hand at this Zerg first! His eyes revealed trust and support.
"Then, boss, watch my show." Ye Xuexin was very excited. He took out his mecha, quickly got on it, and ran towards the huge foxtail insect. His movements were swift and agile, with the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger.
"Brother Nangong, this guy's mecha speed is already the fastest among us. It's quite fast." Su Siyi was very happy to see Ye Xuexin's mecha running fast. A relieved smile appeared on her face.
"This kid is young and smart," Nangong Jingming said affirmatively, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"This foxtail insect doesn't look like a fox at all, but it does have a very similar tail to a fox, so calling it a foxtail insect is quite appropriate. It's just a little too big. This one is at least two meters tall and three meters wide," Su Sheng said to his wife, looking at the foxtail insect. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he carefully examined this peculiar insect.
"Well, this is the first time I've seen this thing. It's amazing! I never thought there would be such amazing species in this world." Ji Mei said, looking at the foxtail insect with shining eyes. Her face was filled with amazement and excitement.
"Old lady, why do I feel like you're so excited!" Su Sheng felt his wife's excited expression. There was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Of course I'm excited, old man. Our granddaughter is truly amazing. She's even shown us places like this. I'm going to work hard to become even more amazing and see a different world with my granddaughter." Ji Mei was looking forward to it from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes were filled with longing for the future.
"Okay, I'll work hard to become stronger, and I'll be there with you to see a different world," Su Sheng said. He held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
