Song Chi could understand Shen Qing''s thoughts and knew that his situation was different from his own; without a Second Rank father or a Third Rank grandfather, he had to acquire any resources he needed on his own.
Knowing that there were at least two Blue Oddities inside the Crystal Box below, it was inevitable that Shen Qing would crave them in the face of such temptation.
However, understanding is one thing; Song Chi was not going to blindly agree. He had to be certain that Shen Qing had aplete and reasonable n to ensure a good chance of taking down the Queen Insect''s nest, rather than just recklessly gambling on a whim.
Otherwise, it wouldn''t be helping Shen Qing but allowing him to walk to his death, and there was a high probability it would drag Song Chi down as well. Naturally, Song Chi wouldn''t allow that to happen.
"Big Qing, are you sure? If this is a decision you''ve carefully considered, I''ll support you, but I need to know your follow-up n, or rather the exact method you''ll use to deal with that Queen Insect''s nest, if..."
Before he could finish, Shen Qing suddenly raised the height of the Qingfeng, allowing Song Chi to look from the angle of the Cang Qiong and see directly underneath the hull of the Qingfeng.
A flicker of surprise crossed Song Chi''s eyes. He hadn''t noticed before, but there was a neat groove beneath the hull of the Qingfeng, and within that groove, a peculiar device hung prominently.
Just as he tried to get a better look at what the device really was, Shen Qing''s exnation came through themunication screen.
"An external mounting device, a white Quality ''Deep Space Torpedo Launcher,'' one of the whiteponents I got on the first floor of the ruins. Due to thisponent, I specifically brought two military ''Tomahawk'' deep space torpedoes, which I originally nned to save for the Crystal Box, but now I have to use them in advance."
Hearing this, Song Chi''s previously hesitant heart immediately firmed up.
Military Tomahawk deep space torpedoes could only be bought on the ck market, and they didn''te cheap; one would cost hundreds of strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin. The key issue was that these torpedoes were generally slow tounch, making it difficult to hit fast-moving targets.
But opposite to theirunching speed was their Might; if they hit a target up close, they could explode with the power of a Second Rank Energy Level, posing a major threat to Second Rank Starry Sea lifeforms.
The Queen Insect had not fully awakened yet; deep in its nest, it was immobile and nearly perfectly suited for the Deep Space Torpedo''s conditions of use.
And since there was a Deep Space Torpedo with Second Rank Might, Song Chi naturally wouldn''t obstruct any further.
Seeing Song Chi agree, Shen Qing excitedly said again:
"Little Chi, I need you to get me over there!!"
The remaining Shield Value of the Qingfeng''s Energy Shield was not enough to withstand the Corrosive Acid spray of the thousands of sttering insects below; it was necessary to have the support of the "blue" Energy Shield of the Cang Qiong.
Song Chi nodded: "You maneuver the Qingfeng to stick above me, so that 90% of the acid attacks should be avoided."
After finalizing the action n, Shen Qing quickly manipted the Qingfeng to hover right above the Cang Qiong. The two airships were nearly identical in size, and, aligning together like this, the Cang Qiong seemed to be a thicker version of an airship.
Meanwhile, with the Cang Qiong blocking from below, the Qingfeng was subjected to far fewer acid attacks, and the decline in the Energy Shield''s Shield Value finally slowed.
Humming!
Below, the engines of the Cang Qiong roared, withstanding countless acid attacks as it charged straight toward the Queen Insect''s nest. When it was less than a kilometer away from the nest, the Qingfeng separated from the Cang Qiong and immediately, the two airships went off inpletely opposite directions.
The Qingfeng continued to approach the Queen Insect''s nest. Due to theunch speed of the Deep Space Torpedo, to ensure no idents, it had to get as close as possible.
On the other hand, the Cang Qiong returned the way it came, needing to continue distracting the thousands of sttering insects to prevent them from affecting the Qingfeng''sunching action.
Soon, the Cang Qiong once again plunged into the web of Corrosive Acid attacks.
While constantly using the Particle Beam Cannon and Spectral Cannon to clear the sttering insects below, Song Chi was also keeping an eye on Shen Qing''s situation.
With the Cang Qiong drawing attention, although there were still many insects around the Qingfeng, there were only a few dozen sttering insects—too few to threaten the Qingfeng effectively in the short term.
Seeing this, Song Chipletely rxed and began to focus on dealing with the sttering insects below.
As for the thousands of Irond Insects remaining in this secondyer space, Song Chirgely ignored them; Irond Insects didn''t have long-range attack capabilities and could only make weird, squeaking noises from below.
[Shield Value: 17409/29184]
ncing at the Dark Matter Energy Shield''s Shield Value, which had endured the nibbling of Irond Insects and continuous attacks from the thousands of sttering insects, there was still nearly sixty percent of the Shield Value remaining.
Seeing this, Song Chi couldn''t help but thank the Mechanical Race once again; ever since the Orange Quality Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator was installed, it had yed a crucial role at critical moments several times.
And not just now, but also during the recent effort to Advance in the Ruins Market.
While reflecting, another two minutes passed, and Song Chi continued to maneuver the Cang Qiong, dodging around while turning his attention back to the Qingfeng. But before his concentration could be diverted, a sudden, intense booming sound erupted, filling the entire secondyer space.
Immediately after, a huge shockwave surged from the direction where the Qingfeng was located, pushing the originally stable Cang Qiong a short distance away.
