Before the surrounding Mechanical Alien Race could react, Gu Xiao had already turned her gun.
After two "bangs" of gunfire, two more Mechanical Alien Race were taken out.
"Tata, Tata."
After being caught off guard by Gu Xiao, the surrounding Mechanical Alien Race quickly turned their arms, muzzle flashes flickering as bullets connected to form a long whip of fire that lashed out.
The coordination of the Mechanical Alien Race was extremely smooth; ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race attacked Gu Xiao, intending to kill the intruder.
The remaining Mechanical Alien Race retreated to the rear, muzzles spewing fire, attempting to block all of Gu Xiao's escape routes and buy time for the Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race in front to ambush and kill her.
Gu Xiao did not choose to immediately confront the ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race. Her body transformed into a clear breeze, rushing towards the lower-ranking Mechanical Alien Race on the periphery, her gun blade swinging, slicing and exploding Scholar Rank and Soldier Rank Mechanical Alien Race one after another.
"Holy crap, whose subordinate is this? How can she be so fierce?"
This scene stunned the Examinees hiding outside. "Why is your style so different from ours?"
This isn't right, is it? The Professional Trial isn't supposed to be passed this way, is it?
Hunting the Mechanical Alien Race after escaping the Steel Giant City was something other Examinees had done.
But at that time, the scope of activity was large, and the density of Mechanical Alien Race distribution was very low.
Even so, other Examinees would still consider it carefully, and only go up for a fight after finding a solitary Mechanical Alien Race.
Later, as the Poison Circle expanded, their range of activity became smaller and smaller. Once the density of the surrounding Mechanical Alien Race increased, only those genius students from schools, Examinees whose cultivation reached Scholar Rank, dared to look for some Soldier Rank Mechanical Alien Race for practice.
Those confident in their strength would even seek out Mechanical Alien Race squads led by Scholar Rank Mechanical Alien Race.
However, once the Survival Zone shrank to a certain extent, and the captains of the Mechanical Alien Race search squads changed from Scholar Rank to Captain Rank, with their numbers reaching dozens, no Examinee dared to seek trouble anymore.
From this stage until the end of the Professional Trial, what was tested was the Examinees' survival ability.
They never expected that even though the Professional Trial was nearing its end, there would still be such a fierce individual.
"Is Gu Xiao that fierce?"
"This is ridiculously strong."
The Survival Area was getting smaller and smaller, and Gu Xiao's classmates also appeared nearby.
Although they knew on the day of the graduation ceremony that Gu Xiao had not only broken through to Captain Rank but also opened a Meridian, they still didn't expect Gu Xiao to be so fierce.
The ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race couldn't catch Gu Xiao at all. They could only follow behind her, watching Gu Xiao kill Scholar Rank and Soldier Rank Mechanical Alien Race one by one, erupting in a series of brilliant sparks.
If they knew that among the ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race relentlessly pursuing Gu Xiao, three were Mid-Captain Rank, and one was Late-Captain Rank, what would they think?
"Human Race, stop and fight!"
Seeing that Gu Xiao wasn't confronting them directly but rather swinging her blade at the low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race, and knowing they couldn't catch up, several Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race roared in fury.
Gu Xiao remained silent, simply swinging her blade continuously, sending off Mechanical Alien Race one after another. The blade, wrapped in Wind Element, cut through the air and sliced through the Mechanical Alien Race's Intelligent Core, the sound of air breaking connecting with the sound of explosions bursting forth.
Seeing that they couldn't stop Gu Xiao at all, the ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race simply stopped chasing. The launch ports on their bodies opened simultaneously, and Rockets, spraying fierce fiery tails, flew out.
Since they couldn't stop Gu Xiao from killing the low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race, they decided to simply eliminate both Gu Xiao and those Mechanical Alien Race.
At the same time, they didn't forget to make these low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race serve their final purpose, controlling them via remote connection to self-destruct.
Compared to other races in the Universe, the hierarchy of the Mechanical Alien Race is stricter. Due to their racial nature, high-ranking Mechanical Alien Race possess more advanced technology and can directly invade and control the Intelligent Cores of low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race.
There are three ways for low-ranking Mechanical Race within the Mechanical Alien Race to escape this control.
The first method is the most direct: increasing cultivation. The technology mastered by the Mechanical Alien Race is similar to Inherited Remembrance; it can be directly upgraded based on the improvement of cultivation.
The second method is to be far enough away. As long as the distance from the high-ranking Mechanical Alien Race is sufficient, preventing their signal from transmitting to the Intelligent Core, then control naturally becomes impossible.
But neither of these two methods is complete; they are temporary solutions. Regarding the first method, unless one raises their strength to become the strongest among the Mechanical Alien Race, they still cannot escape the risk of being controlled by high-ranking Mechanical Alien Race.
The second method is also unreliable. The Star Sea Universe is beautiful and brilliant, but it is also full of crises. Low-cultivation beings have no way to survive alone outside the group. As for raising cultivation to a high realm, that returns to the first problem.
To completely escape the control of high-ranking Mechanical Alien Race, one must cause a mutation in their Intelligent Core.
Within the Star Sea Universe, dangers are countless, and opportunities are equally inexhaustible. Methods for Intelligent Core mutation naturally exist, but they are not easy to obtain.
After receiving the command, the blue light in the mechanical eyes of the surrounding Scholar Rank and Soldier Rank Mechanical Alien Race instantly turned black, and a violent force erupted from within their bodies.
Gu Xiao had been relentlessly pursuing these low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race, and her distance from them was very close. The sudden self-destruction made it too late for Gu Xiao to retreat.
At the same time, the Rockets launched by the ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race also arrived near Gu Xiao, blocking all her escape routes.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion struck, causing the ground to tremble. Bright flames rushed toward the sky, and a small mushroom cloud ascended.
The aftermath caused by dozens of low-ranking Mechanical Alien Race and the Rockets launched by ten Captain Rank Mechanical Alien Race was extremely fierce. Nearby boulders were reduced to dust by the explosive shockwave.
A few unlucky individuals whose hiding spots were too close were directly eliminated by the aftershock of this explosion.
After all, Soldier Rank is just the starting cultivation level; facing such an explosion is still too fragile.
This is also why all races in the Star Sea are unwilling to confront the Mechanical Race when they are just starting cultivation—if they can't win, they can blow themselves up.
Soldier Rank and Scholar Rank basically have no ability to resist such an explosion. This method is quite disgusting.
If you don't want them to self-destruct, you must destroy their Intelligent Core in time. If the main control fails, they naturally cannot control the self-destruction.
But even though it seemed easy for Gu Xiao to blow up the Intelligent Cores one by one, as the weak point of the Mechanical Alien Race, they are naturally heavily protected. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to destroy a Mechanical Alien Race's Intelligent Core.
