The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 567 Salvation (Part 1)

Jiang Hui's understanding of this creature was not comprehensive enough. In her knowledge, turtles couldn't jump that high, yet this was exactly what happened right before her eyes.

When Jiang Hui found herself being lifted upwards by the shell, she could hardly believe it... This must be an alligator snapping turtle! Although it was a different species from the ones she knew, it was still a turtle, but she had never heard of any turtle that could fly.

Jiang Hui didn't even have time to look closely at what was happening. Following her instincts and the information carried by the wind, she quickly responded to the warning roar in her mind and adjusted the aircraft's attitude.

But everything was a little too late. She barely managed to get into position, only managing to block the sharp, fake spikes on the alligator snapping turtle's back from piercing the mecha's arm joint. Jiang Hui could even feel the pain, as if it were acting on her flesh and blood, coursing through her like an electric current, leaving behind a terrifying and profound muscle memory.

It turns out that directly controlling a mecha with one's mental energy is indeed a very dangerous thing. Those armor spikes seemed to be acting on her arm rather than the mecha, and were entirely affecting her nerve endings. No, or rather, it was precisely because they were affecting her mental endings that it hurt so much.

Unbeknownst to her, inside the cabin, her arm gripping the control panel trembled slightly from the pain, her face was pale, and her hair was soaked with sweat. Meanwhile, her classmates, not far behind her, watched her anxiously and helplessly.

The excruciating pain, accompanied by immense pressure, relentlessly squeezed the fuselage, leaving her increasingly powerless to struggle. The creature then launched itself into the air, intending to smash her, who was clinging to its back, against the rocky surface at the top, killing her instantly.

Yes, Jiang Hui knew too little about the swamp alligator turtle. In terms of social attributes, it was indeed a turtle, but its classification as a star beast wasn't solely based on its appearance. They had roamed this place for several star eras, long since evolving spiritual power and superhuman physique, making them a rather troublesome species even among star beasts.

In fact, the alligator snapping turtle is a star beast that is not good at using mental power, but correspondingly, it has a very high defense capability.

Although it doesn't use its mental power as freely as some higher-level species, it can still coordinate its limbs to unleash this power. Just like now—this alligator snapping turtle easily used its mental power to leap up, intending to pin the little insect clinging to its back to death in one fell swoop.

If Jiang Hui hadn't reacted in time, the front and back of the fuselage, specifically the central cabin area, would have been directly damaged. The spikes on the armor would have pierced through the cabin, and since dozens of them were inside, they would likely have all perished if pierced by spikes of that strength.

But things aren't much better now. To avoid damage to the core of the mech, Jiang Hui had to roll over and stand sideways with his arms outstretched to get out of this dangerous position.

The left side was better, as it was facing a flat rock, but the entire WALL-E machine inevitably made a creaking sound under such continuous pressure.

However, the situation on the other side was dire. According to Jiang Hui's assessment, her half of her arm was almost completely destroyed, and she probably couldn't move it anymore.

The opponent seemed to realize that his first attack had failed, so he tried to continue with brute force, as if he wanted to crush Jiang Hui completely.

She continuously emitted fluctuations in her mental energy field, which constantly interfered with WALL-E's machine. Jiang Hui was also so agitated that she lost control of her actions.

So this is the combat power of an A-level star beast—in front of a mature A-level star beast, the opponent is not even a star beast with mental power talent... But her so-called S-level mental power is still insignificant and cannot change the situation of this battle.

No. Jiang Hui gritted her teeth.

WALL-E was actually more resilient than she had imagined. She had been worried it would fall apart halfway through, but now it seemed rather pathetic that this shabby thing had withstood two attacks from the alien beast. But at this moment, sturdiness was useless; she needed a more offensive weapon.

However, she had only been experimenting with it and never imagined it would be used in actual combat. Furthermore, collecting usable scrap parts was incredibly difficult; gathering them from hundreds or even thousands of sources and applying them to the assembly process was no easy task. Therefore, even after searching the entire machine, she couldn't find many effective attack methods. Even conventional cannons and light guns were largely useless.

Moreover, if she were to use up all of these now, Jiang Hui felt that the end of the world awaited her. Sometimes, people haven't given up hope because there's still hope; but if all hope seems lost, collapse can happen in an instant. Therefore, even if there are other methods, he couldn't afford to use his trump card.

And then there are them… I need to get them out of here first. I can't drag everyone down with me in my current state, can I?
Although she didn't know whether letting them out like this was good or bad for them—it was better than the current situation.

Jiang Hui suppressed the urge to turn her head and look over. While she could still move... while she could still make a choice for them? Let it be.

She immediately brought up a page and typed a string of commands on it.

--------------

'Once you land, immediately seek an opportunity to leave this place. Do not linger.'

The transmitted sound still had a lingering tone, but in the blink of an eye they were pushed out of the cabin.

Everything happened so suddenly. The wind whistled in their ears, and they felt themselves leaving their unstable inner cabin, far away from the attacking star beasts and the sounds of their mechs being constantly damaged and worn down, and also far away from... Jiang Hui.

They were escorted out, while Jiang Hui remained behind.

"We're out." Someone glanced around and scrambled out of the isolation chamber, only to find that they had indeed been shot out along with the entire isolation chamber. Thick smoke billowed around them, and loud noises could be heard a little further away.

"Where is she? Where is Jiang? She didn't come out, she's still there." Someone suddenly realized, "She escorted us out alone."

"No, where are you going? You're planning to go back like this? Didn't you hear? She told us to find a chance to leave quickly. Going back now will only cause him more trouble. Do you think you can fight that A-level star beast with your bare hands?"

"Can Jiang fight back? Don't you have any conscience? This isn't about whether she can win or not; she's clearly trying to sacrifice herself to save our lives. We have to save her... We can't leave her here." The girl who shouted choked up. She was a very low-profile person in the class and didn't have much interaction with Jiang Hui, but at this moment, she was more heartbroken than anyone else.

“But that was Jiang’s choice. None of us have mechs, no combat power, and we’re useless on this field. Even if we turn back, we’ll only be a burden. We don’t want her hard work to be wasted. He doesn’t want to see that result.” This was Man; she knew Jiang Hui very well.
