Chapter 579: Stormy Battle and the Mysterious Crystal
The unidentified flying objects, like a black swarm of bees, carrying a howling energy storm, rushed menacingly towards the fleet. Lin Yu's heart sank. He quickly glanced at the team members beside him; each of their faces was filled with tension, but their eyes revealed determination.
"All ships on alert! Activate weapon systems and prepare for battle!" Lin Yu gave the decisive order, his voice firm and powerful. The warship's cannons slowly rotated, aiming at the incoming aircraft, and the energy shield was also raised to its maximum value, emitting a faint blue light to resist the dual threat of the storm and the aircraft.
These aircraft moved with incredible speed, weaving nimbly through the energy storm, constantly firing beams of black energy. The beams struck the warship's shields, sending sparks flying, and the shield's energy bars began to rapidly deplete. Lin Yu gripped the control stick tightly, focusing intently on dodging the attacks while simultaneously directing his team to counterattack.
"Don't panic! Concentrate your firepower on the center of their formation and disrupt their formation!" Lin Yu shouted. The team members obeyed, firing laser cannons and missiles simultaneously. Beams of light streaked through the dark universe, intertwining with the black beams emitted by the spacecraft. In the fierce firefight, one spacecraft was hit and instantly exploded into a fireball, its wreckage dissipating in the energy storm.
However, the sheer number of aircraft was overwhelming, and their relentless attacks put increasing pressure on the fleet. Lin Yu discovered that these aircraft seemed to be under some kind of remote control; their attacks were perfectly coordinated, making it difficult to find any weaknesses.
“This won’t do. Our ammunition is running out too fast, and the shields won’t last much longer,” Ellie said anxiously, her forehead covered in sweat. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes quickly scanning the battlefield. Suddenly, he noticed that when the aircraft turned, it would pause momentarily due to a brief adjustment in energy supply.
"Attention everyone, the aircraft pause briefly when they turn. Use this opportunity to attack their engines!" Lin Yu shouted. The team members quickly adjusted their attack strategy, concentrating their firepower whenever the aircraft turned. Under the precise strikes, several more aircraft were destroyed, and their attack rhythm was gradually disrupted.
Meanwhile, Sora's mysterious warship joined the battle. The warship unleashed powerful golden energy pulses, blasting away any spacecraft that touched them. Through close coordination, the spacecraft's offensive was finally halted, and they began to retreat.
"They're trying to escape! We can't let them get away, chase after them!" Lin Yu shouted, steering the warship in the direction the spacecraft had fled. During the pursuit, they discovered the spacecraft was heading towards a mysterious region deep within the star system. When the fleet approached this area, the sight before them stunned them.
A massive vein of purple crystals floated in space, radiating a mysterious and dazzling light. These crystals were the amethyst they had been searching for, and the spacecraft seemed to be guarding this vein.
“So their purpose is to protect the amethyst,” Sora said. “We must find a way to obtain the amethyst without causing more trouble.” Lin Yu nodded. He carefully observed the surrounding environment and discovered that there was a powerful energy field around the amethyst vein. Any object that dared to approach it would be repelled by the energy field.
“It seems we need to find the frequency of the energy field and adjust the frequency of the warship’s energy shield to match it in order to approach safely,” Ellie said, while starting to operate the instruments to detect it. Thanks to Ellie’s efforts, they finally found the frequency of the energy field and successfully adjusted the frequency of the warship’s shield.
As the warships slowly approached the amethyst mine, the surrounding energy storms seemed to intensify, as if trying to prevent them from obtaining the amethyst. At the same time, the fleeing aircraft regrouped and launched an even more frenzied attack on the fleet.
Will Lin Yu and his companions be able to successfully collect the amethyst amidst these internal and external troubles and leave this dangerous star system with the crucial treasure?
