You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 186 The Seed of the World Tree is Once Again in My Possession

"So, Captain Qin? Was what I said... right?"

Qin Cang's body suddenly stiffened.

His face, which had been full of confidence and arrogance, was now filled with disbelief and horror.

These……

These are the most core, top-secret data of their "Tiangang" team, known only to them!

Even he himself only vaguely felt that his mecha seemed a bit "unresponsive" when performing extreme maneuvers, but he never found the specific reason!
And this man in front of me could actually pinpoint these questions to four decimal places and answer them all in one sentence?!

How...how did he know?!

Is it...

A traitor has emerged within the coalition government?!
Or……

The man before me possesses some terrifying ability... to see through everything?!

For a moment, Qin Cang's mind went blank, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He instinctively stopped attacking, hovering in mid-air, staring intently at the unfathomable platinum-gold mecha with a look full of apprehension and vigilance.

The two team members beside him also changed their expressions drastically after hearing Li Zhe's words, and they both conducted an emergency self-check on their mechs.

The result sent chills down their spines.

The problem Li Zhe mentioned was actually...

Exactly!

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Li Zhe's voice rang out again, calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Qin Cang fell silent.

He knew he had really messed up today.

The man before him was far beyond his imagination in terms of both strength and intelligence capabilities.

If we continue fighting, we'll only end up hurting ourselves.

"What... exactly do you want?" he asked in an extremely hoarse voice.

“It’s very simple.” Li Zhe smiled. “I have no interest in your points.”

"I just want to... borrow your 'eyes' for a moment."

……

Half an hour later, when the "Northern Heavy Industry-Grizzly" team arrived at the "Wind-Eroded Heights" with great momentum, ready to reap the benefits, the scene before them left them completely dumbfounded.

The battlefield was a scene of utter devastation.

Everywhere were the wreckage of the destroyed "Vermilion Bird" mechs.

The "Tiangang" team, who were supposed to be staging a "mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" drama, had long since disappeared.

Only Xu Lei and Yi Ze's two battered but still standing mechs remained, guarding the place like two gatekeepers.

"Where are they? Where are those 'Tiangang' guys?!"

The captain of the "Grizzly" squad roared as he looked at the bizarre scene.

"Oh, them." Xu Lei scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. "They said they were going to scout out the road conditions ahead for us, so they left first."

"Scouting road conditions?!"

The Grizzlies captain felt his intelligence had been insulted.

He couldn't understand how these three elite teams, which should have been fighting to the death, suddenly... "cooperated"?

Meanwhile, tens of kilometers away from the battlefield, high in the clouds...

Three silver-white "Tiangang" mechs are guarding a platinum-colored mech that exudes a sacred and majestic aura, like the most loyal guards.

"Coordinates A-7, 'Dragonbone Mountains,' 'Xichuan-Pandaren' team spotted, currently engaged in combat with 'Divine Crafts University-Luban' team." Qin Cang's voice came through the encrypted channel, his tone full of respect.

"very good."

Li Zhe nodded, looking at the huge holographic sand table in front of him, a knowing smile curving his lips.

"Let them fight a little longer, until they force out that 'energy node' hidden in the mountains, then we'll... 'pass by'."

"learn."

Qin Cang accepted the order and left, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

He never dreamed that one day he would willingly serve as someone else's "scout".

However, Li Zhe's terrifying intelligence capabilities, which were almost omniscient and omnipotent, and his leadership qualities that could subdue anyone, forced him to admit defeat.

In this exercise, being the "sixth man" seems... quite exciting.

Meanwhile, Xu Lei and Yi Ze, who remained at the "Wind-Eroded Highlands," also received Li Zhe's latest instructions.

“You two, head to the ‘swamp’ in area B-4 immediately. There’s a second ‘surprise’ I’ve prepared for you there.”

Another surprise?!

Xu Lei's eyes lit up instantly.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Ize's eyes.

Without hesitation, they activated their mechs and headed towards the target area.

When they arrived at the swamp, filled with an atmosphere of decay and danger, the sight before them stunned them once again.

In the center of the swamp, a gigantic "flower bud" composed of countless abyssal plants, exuding an ominous aura, was slowly blooming.

Around the flower bud, several mechs, already entangled by vines and rendered powerless, hung there silently, like prey caught in a spider web.

It was the "Wu Yue-Qinglong" team that had been "wiped out" by Li Zhe before!
They apparently stumbled into this forbidden zone of death while pursuing the "ghost army," and as a result...

It became nutrients for the plants.

"This...this was also done by Brother Li?!"

Looking at this scene that was so disheartening, Xu Lei felt like his heart was about to stop.

And at that moment, the enormous flower bud fully bloomed.

What was revealed inside was a "mission item" radiating a soft green light and brimming with life—

The Seed of the World Tree!
“I’ve made a fortune!”

Xu Lei's eyes instantly turned into the shape of a "¥".

This is a top-tier item worth a thousand points!

Without hesitation, they stepped forward and took the "Seed of the World Tree" into their possession.

Then, he waved to the "Azure Dragon" team members who were still hanging on the vines, looking utterly hopeless.

"Brothers, you've worked hard. We'll be going now!"

……

The exercise is still ongoing.

But the overall style of the battlefield has completely gone astray.

Under the manipulation of Li Zhe, the "mastermind," what should have been a thrilling showdown between ace players turned into an absurd yet exciting "cat and mouse game" filled with "Old Six" and "reversals."

……

By the middle of the exercise, the entire battlefield situation was completely under Li Zhe's control.

He was like a highly skilled chess player, using the entire training ground as a chessboard and all the participating students as pieces, subtly and firmly tilting the scales of victory in his own favor.

Under his remote control, the "Tiangang" squad transformed into the most efficient "scouts," using their unparalleled air superiority to provide him with the most accurate and real-time dynamic intelligence on the entire battlefield.
