The covering person immediately went over to help him get out of trouble. One person provided support and pulled him out, while another fired a shot. The powerful armor-piercing bullet only chipped a few scales.

"So hard."

It’s very difficult to hit the same spot again, and they recover quickly, with scales regenerating in less than five seconds.

More tentacles stretched out from the entrance, pulling the two Mecha Masters in bit by bit.

Just two Mecha Masters—if they’re dragged out, in less than ten seconds, there won’t even be bone fragments left.

"Move aside." The Mecha Master who fired the shot, seeing the attack wasn’t effective, threw in a compressed high explosive bomb.

The compressed high explosive bomb spiraled into the entrance. The tentacles seemed to recognize the danger and cleverly flicked it back towards the group of Mecha Masters.

The onlookers were so scared that they quickly dodged, but the two trapped Mecha Masters were still there.

Hu Ping gritted his teeth. The compressed high explosive bomb is timed, and won’t easily explode on impact, so he held the Insect Slaughter, using the blade as a tennis racket.

Rushing forward, he first cushioned it to slow it down, then lightly pushed it back into its original trajectory.

Then he pulled the two Mecha Masters, who were getting closer to the entrance, and shouted in the channel, "Captain, hold steady, hold on tight."

No sooner had he spoken.

The Black Wing Mecha’s energy power was turned to maximum, pulling out at super high speed in a spiral motion.

More than ten tentacles below twisted into one strand.

The mechanism of the scales had just locked onto the Mecha, and they couldn’t loosen. Their pull was strong, but twisted together, the strength couldn’t be used effectively.

The other end of the tentacles was thus pulled out.

The Insect Man’s head was smooth, glistening with blue translucent mucus, almost without protection. It irregularly displayed five or six mouths that opened and closed, like fish out of water.

Just as they were being pulled out, the compressed high explosive bomb also exploded.

The powerful explosion shattered the unprotected areas into pieces.

The tentacles that had gripped the Mecha were still attached, but they were limp, as if devoid of life.

"Thank you, Brother Hu." The squad leader quickly corrected himself, changing from Xiao Hu to Brother Hu in less than three minutes, "If it weren’t for you..."

"No problem, we’re all comrades." Hu Ping said with a smile, "That was really dangerous just now, it scared me into a sweat."

The crisis was temporarily averted by Hu Ping’s ingenuity, and he applied to the officers in the rear, "How about I lead a squad next?" Naturally, the squad didn’t refer to the contestants, but to other soldiers. Several squad leaders’ Mechas had just been damaged and left, and since they were gone, Hu Ping felt he might as well take over.

Seizing the chance to show his ambition, he wanted to climb up, and with squad leaders missing, he could temporarily fill the role.

The supporting ship’s officer, "Sorry, I don’t have the authority, you contestants continue the competition."

"No worries, I was just suggesting." Hu Ping didn’t mind, the officer didn’t say no, just lacked authority.

Which means it might be possible to operate discreetly.

Another gap exploded above the training ground, requiring them to slightly adjust their plans. The canopy needed to be fully opened first.

As for the things on the ceiling, it’s not yet known how many there are.

Judging just from the gap, the entire ceiling was filled with new Insect Man types.

This greatly increased the difficulty for those diving down.

The number of these Insect Men was clearly abnormal; there were too many non-flying cowardly bug soldiers below, with unknown origins. Even if they relied on space-faring Insect Men to come here, there shouldn’t be this many.

The supporting ship’s commanding officer speculated that a mother form had appeared on the Mechanical Planet.

"Officer, the number of cowardly bug soldiers is suspicious, it’s too dense." Compared to previous exploration information, there are many more.
