178: Chapter 178 Benbo Ba: Watch Me Kill Like a Gag!
Extreme shock instantly extinguished the fighting spirit of everyone in the mecha squad. The joy of the entire team upgrading a second ago was swept away, leaving only an incomprehensible heaviness on everyone's faces.
From the moment this group of invaders stepped into this Secret Realm, their field of vision was full of undeveloped, primitive scenery.
Wild exotic beasts could be seen wandering everywhere on the ground, with no traces of artificial modification to be seen.
They charged all the way, reaping a full harvest, killing all the exotic beasts blocking their path, and genuinely relying on the raw power of their mechas to take the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Throughout the whole journey, they didn't find any traces of other forces stationed there, so everyone assumed this was an unmanaged wild Secret Realm.
Taking this place meant they could monopolize all the resources inside, and everyone felt the excitement of opening up new territory.
But no one expected that just as they faced the pressure of the Demon King and their mechas completed a comprehensive upgrade, a huge shadow would appear in the high sky without any warning.
A semi-circular floating airship with the Tianyu Federation logo printed on it appeared out of thin air and hovered steadily in mid-air.
"This is too ridiculous!"
"We came all the way here, and our detection satellites scanned the area, but we didn't even see a screw fragment. Where did the Federation ship hide?"
"How on earth did they sneak in? It's like they just spawned in!"
The joy on everyone's faces completely vanished, and the situation reversed in an instant.
The ownerless Secret Realm that was firmly in their grasp had now turned into them trespassing on someone else's territory, and the situation immediately became passive.
Ten mechas simultaneously switched to the highest alert mode, power cores preheated, all weapons loaded, and cannons aimed directly at the airship in mid-air.
Everyone was prepared; once the airship hatch opened, Tianyu Federation soldiers and combat mechas would inevitably rush out, and an evenly matched conflict was unavoidable.
The heavy hatch slowly slid open to both sides, and the group of people who walked out completely overturned all their expectations.
There were no soldiers wearing Federation uniforms, no standard Federation combat mechas, and no sign of any combat units belonging to the Tianyu Federation.
The first to step out of the hatch was Benboba in his bird-man form, wings folded, his aura imposing.
Following behind him was the Robot Commander, with a group of uniquely designed, self-made mechanical attendants standing neatly behind it. From beginning to end, not a single person from the Tianyu Federation appeared.
Seeing this scene, the nerves of the entire mecha squad, which had been tense for a long time, instantly relaxed.
The eerie sense of oppression that had been weighing on their hearts and the tension of an impending battle all dissipated.
"Not a Federation garrison?"
"The airship has the Federation logo, yet the people guarding it aren't from the Federation?"
"We were nervous for nothing; it turns out to be a misunderstanding."
The team members let out a huge sigh of relief, and their suspended hearts finally settled.
Not having to go head-to-head with the main force of their arch-rivals was already the best result for them.
Just as the tense atmosphere eased a little, the captain's low voice sounded on the public channel, his tone filled with some speculation.
"Perhaps the Tianyu Federation also sent a Secret Realm expedition team like ours, and the whole team was wiped out here. This airship is a trophy captured by someone else."
After hearing this, everyone's hearts, which had just relaxed, were instantly lifted again.
The recently relaxed mood was swept away, and new worries weighed on everyone's hearts.
If this Federation airship was a trophy, it meant that there were powerful individuals in this Secret Realm capable of wiping out a Federation expedition team.
The opponent's strength far exceeded that of a Federation squad; compared to running into a regular Federation garrison, the current situation was much harder to deal with.
Doubt and a sense of crisis simultaneously shrouded the entire team, and no one dared to lower their guard again.
The floating airship with the Federation logo appeared out of thin air in the primitive Secret Realm, and the guards were a completely unfamiliar group of people. The entire team's hearts were once again in their throats, and the atmosphere on the scene was oppressive and eerie.
Just then, Benboba in front of the airship shouted loudly, breaking the silence of the entire airspace.
"Boss! Why are you just standing there in a daze? Just take them out!"
This Secret Realm was Mo Yufei's territory; he was the master of this Secret Realm.
The mecha squad below had trespassed, violently shattered the barrier, hunted exotic beasts in the Secret Realm, and were bent on plundering the Secret Realm's resources; they were completely foreign invaders.
Without waiting for Mo Yufei to issue an order, Benboba had his Battle Intent fully maxed out, his figure dashed out violently, and he lunged straight at the invading mecha squad below.
Mo Yufei quickly spoke up: "Benboba, don't be impulsive. Watch out for the Mandarin Duck Pollen in the Secret Realm."
Benboba's speed did not decrease at all as he rushed forward with the gale, shouting back: "I know! Xue Rong has already deployed the full-area purification barrier."
"The effect of the pollen has been completely neutralized, and there's no impact at all! These outsiders trespassed on our territory to steal things. Today, watch me slaughter them and drive them all out!"
As his voice fell, Benboba no longer held back any strength and engaged in battle with full force.
He was in a bird-man form, with the complete genes of the Berserk Demon Ape fused into his body. His Physical Body strength was maxed out, his shoulder and back muscles were bulging, and his explosive power reached its peak.
He was no longer the light and agile figure of an ordinary bird, but carried the oppressive feeling of a beast charging. At the same time, he specialized in the Wind Element Ability, and at this moment, all his power was released.
The air in the entire airspace was crazily torn and compressed. A layer of cyan and white wind energy wrapped around his entire body. Every feather had hardened into sharp blades, vibrating with the wind and emitting a piercing hum.
The next second, continuous sonic booms exploded in the air.
The extreme speed brought by the Wind Element Ability made it impossible for the naked eye to capture his trajectory. Benboba disappeared from where he stood, leaving only a string of slowly dissipating airflow afterimages.
The invading mecha squad members below all had their pupils contract. They had just completed their mecha upgrades and considered themselves to have top-tier combat power in the Star Domain, so they hadn't taken the local guards of this wild Secret Realm seriously at all.
But the speed of Benboba's burst was too fast; the optical locking equipment on the mechas lagged, losing the target for a moment.
"Target speed exceeds limits, everyone lock on immediately!"
"Everyone activate energy shields and prepare for defense!"
The mecha squad hurriedly adjusted their combat posture. Ten mechas simultaneously raised their outer protective shields, and weapons quickly charged, intending to suppress the guards in front of them.
But their actions were still a step too slow; Benboba had already rushed into the middle of the mecha group.
He flapped his wings hard, and hundreds of tangible cyan Wind Blades instantly spread out. These weren't tiny fragments, but sharp blade energy more than half a person's height, densely covering the entire area and blocking all routes of evasion.
The harsh sound of metal colliding was continuous. The Wind Blades struck the mecha's alloy shells, easily carving deep and long cracks.
The newly upgraded and reinforced armor was like thin tin foil in front of the Wind Blades. Fragments of the outer protection splattered everywhere. Several mecha shells were directly damaged, with internal circuits exposed and constantly emitting white smoke.
Before the invaders could adjust their formation to regroup, Benboba used the wind to quickly reposition, and the terrifying Physical Body strength brought by the Berserk Demon Ape genes fully erupted.
He flipped in the air, his hardened sharp claws wrapped in heavy wind pressure, and slammed fiercely into the center of the chest armor of a heavy mecha.
A loud noise that made eardrums ache exploded, and the huge impact force spread throughout the entire mecha along the body.
The heavy mecha weighing dozens of tons was directly knocked downward. The body frame twisted and deformed, internal mechanical parts were damaged one after another, the cockpit shook violently, and the invader inside was shaken until dizzy and nauseated, with blood rushing.
This round of attacks was just the beginning. Benboba's fighting style was fierce; he suppressed the invaders the whole time, completely in the posture of a home-field crushing outsiders.
Using the power of the wind to teleport instantly, he circled behind the mechas to launch sneak attacks. His super-fast speed caused all of the opponent's artillery fire to miss.
After getting close, he didn't rely on Supernatural Ability, but used pure Physical Body strength to collide with the heavy mechas, fists and claws smashing in turns, each strike shaking the mechas violently.
The wind energy around his body spread over a large area, stirring up rotating wind vortices that forced the mechas to passively block and retreat step by step.
Although all ten mechas were upgraded and their combat power was on par with the Federation's main force, basically no one could stop them in the Star Domain outside.
But in this Secret Realm that belonged to Mo Yufei, Benboba alone had beaten them into a chaotic formation, leaving them only able to dodge in a sorry state, with absolutely no chance to fight back.
The communication channel of the invader squad was full of panicked shouts.
"The speed is too fast, we can't lock onto the target at all!"
"The strength is too exaggerated, even our heavy mechas can't withstand it in close combat!"
"This is no weak native of the Secret Realm; this is clearly a top-tier expert hiding here!"
Benboba kept attacking while roaring loudly, his Battle Intent soaring to the sky: "How dare you trespass on my territory and covet the Secret Realm's resources? Today, I will make sure you, this group of foreign invaders, never return!"
