238: Chapter 238: Exposed (Added for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290) 238: Chapter 238: Exposed (Added for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290) “Understood,” said Tang Xuan, the teacher, without any complaint.
Su Ming furrowed his brows—it really was one trouble after another.
But he said nothing, only entering a series of commands on the console, setting up a countdown timer for 1 hour and 23 minutes.
It had to be said that the Hive creature’s flying speed was indeed quick.
Had they not been piloting the famously fast Green Wing Mecha, which, added to the fact the other side was gripping an Iron Guard Mecha and considerably slowed down, it would probably have vanished long ago.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes, continuously calculating the distance and speed between them.
He soon realized their speeds were almost equal, and with the creature constantly zigzagging, catching up was going to be quite tough and would take a considerable amount of time.
He immediately thought of activating Overclocking Mode.
However, at that moment, the III type General Level Hive creature, the Mystic Moth, seemed to sense danger and suddenly veered into the starry space to the right.
Tang Xuan urgently shouted over the communication channel.
“Oh no, it’s heading toward the asteroid belt!”
Su Ming glanced at the scanning device, and indeed, in the starry space on the right, there was a large spread of asteroids, leading him to abandon the idea of using Overclocking.
After all, one couldn’t fly fast within an asteroid belt.
Without hesitation, the Mystic Moth, grasping the Iron Guard Mecha, dove into the dense asteroid belt.
Su Ming and the others operating the mechas did not hesitate to plunge in; they dodged the drifting asteroids, and upon encountering smaller ones, they directly drew their Beam Sabers, sharply slashing them apart.
Even so, they still couldn’t catch up to the Mystic Moth.
Instead, it seemed they were being slightly left behind.
Despite its large size, the Mystic Moth was incredibly agile.
It seemed very familiar with the area, so its speed didn’t decrease much.
“This can’t go on—Tang Xuan, Mia, both of you flank from each side, I’ll bite onto it!
We must stop it!” Alfam’s voice echoed sternly.
“Okay!” Tang Xuan responded without any hesitation.
“No problem,” said Su Ming.
“???, who are you?
Where’s Mia?” When Alfam and Tang Xuan heard Su Ming’s reply, they were both dumbfounded.
“Teachers, I am Su Ming, the class leader of Class 23.
Teacher Mia is feeling unwell, so I am substituting today,” Su Ming replied, quite embarrassed.
Tang Xuan immediately got pissed off and cursed angrily.
“How dare she?
That really is too much—I have to complain about her!”
Tang Xuan had not been fond of Mia, but she had no complaints about Mia’s skills since one had to be quite capable to be a teacher.
Now, controlling the Green Wing Mecha was not Mia but Su Ming.
If this caused the rescue mission to fail, she would definitely not let Mia off.
Alfam also felt Mia had gone too far, but now was not the time to pursue this issue; thus, he advised Tang Xuan.
“Calm down; let’s put this issue aside for now—the rescue is crucial!
Su Ming, you flank from the right side, just stop that monster for a moment.”
“Okay!” Su Ming calmly replied.
Left with no other choice, Tang Xuan could only fly around to the left side.
Su Ming then maneuvered his mecha toward the right.
In the training area of the Red Teeth.
Mia was sitting in a corner, holding a bottle of beer from who knows where, leisurely drinking with a small bag of peanuts in her hand.
At that moment, Rhein and the others, controlling their mechas, hurried over.
“Teacher, it’s no good!”
“What’s no good, some mechas damaged?”
Mia asked nonchalantly, since someone would repair the damage for free anyway.
“Not really, a student from class 11 has been taken by an unknown creature, and Su Ming is piloting the Green Wing Mecha to rescue them with two other teachers.”
After hearing what Rhein and the others had said, Mia was slightly startled but then replied nonchalantly,
“Just rescue them.
It’s no big deal.”
“But teacher, that creature is very dangerous.
What if something happens to the class president?”
“You said it yourself, there are two other teachers going along for the rescue.
If something still goes wrong, then he really is useless.”
“Teacher, are you really not worried about the class president?”
“Of course I’m not worried, but if you guys chase after them, I’ll really blow up.”
Mia replied irritably.
She was very confident in Su Ming; not only had he dodged her sneak attacks in the Underground Arena, but he had also faced her head-on.
Most importantly, over this period, Su Ming’s strength had been improving continuously, so there really wasn’t much to worry about.
Rhein and the others exchanged looks after hearing Mia’s words.
“Ah, but I guess I’m in trouble now.
I need to go; just act like you didn’t see me.”
Mia thought it over carefully, sensed that something wasn’t quite right, and decisively took off.
In the asteroid belt, Su Ming skillfully maneuvered the Green Wing Mecha, dodging larger asteroids as he flew forward at high speed.
He kept watching the green dots on the scanning radar, constantly closing the distance.
It must be said that Alfam was following excellently.
Although he was doggedly pursuing the Mystic Moth, he wasn’t forcing the creature into a corner, but was keeping a certain distance to lull it into security, which prevented the Mystic Moth from desperately fleeing and thus created an opportunity for Su Ming and Tang Xuan.
Soon, Su Ming and Tang Xuan successfully flanked from both sides.
Tang Xuan launched the first attack, moving extremely fast towards the Mystic Moth, raising her Beam Saber to strike at it.
In an instant, the Mystic Moth voluntarily deactivated its invisibility state, revealing a creature a hundred meters tall, equipped with two pairs of insect wings, which seemed as if they were painted with a layer of oil, and a body covered in colorful spots.
The Camouflage Moth turned its head and opened its insect mouth, firing a Pollack Beam.
Tang Xuan was shocked, she extremely skillfully piloted her Mecha to perform a side flip; the Pollack Beam brushed past her, hitting an asteroid.
The entire asteroid exploded.
At this moment, Su Ming’s pupils narrowed, and he swiftly operated the Green Wing Mecha, rushing forward and fiercely swinging his Beam Saber at the Mystic Moth.
The Mystic Moth, knowing it couldn’t dodge, swung its massive wings, twisting its body to use an Iron Guard as a shield.
Su Ming’s eyes twinkled, angling his Beam Saber slightly.
Crack!
The Mystic Moth was slashed, causing a cut on its side and thick blood spurted out.
The Mystic Moth flinched in pain, its abdomen twitching as it spewed a large volume of corrosive green mist from its tail.
Su Ming quickly activated the Energy Barrier.
At that moment, the Mystic Moth flapped its huge wings and sped away.
Alfam immediately piloted the Green Wing Mecha, chasing after it, and soon Su Ming and Tang Xuan also followed.
“This guy got hit and injured; it won’t last long and will slow down.”
Tang Xuan said over the communication channel.
“Right, all we need to do now is keep on it!”
Alfam agreed.
However, just then, all three scanning devices emitted a piercing alarm, a red alert popped up.
“Warning, Pollack biological reaction detected!”
“Alert: Confirmed targets are Type II Mystic Moths, quantity 17!”
