Chapter 25: Fire Spider_Gundam Battle Storm

This statement immediately sparked a heated debate in the livestream chat, whether it was in Zhuang Zhou's or Fireboy's stream.

Dark Reaper was not an unknown figure. Although using an anonymous ID, he was well-known in ROM. He was a third-year student specializing in Martian cave terrains at the Martian Menge Special A-level Military Academy. This military academy had a unique focus on various special terrains, such as the abundant cave formations found on Mars.

This was a distinctive Martian terrain, and it could be said that those unfamiliar with the environment could never fully unleash their abilities. Dark Reaper specialized in this type of combat environment. If it were a comprehensive battle, he might be a B-level player, but in Martian caves, he was definitely S-level. Even many Martian players with a rating of 2000 points were unwilling to engage in combat with him in such an environment.

He was known as a regional warrior.

Fireboy's livestream erupted in cheers. Well said! Let's see if this wood puppet can handle it.

In Zhuang Zhou's livestream, a barrage of insults and mockery began. Martians being "shameless" was the consensus. Their way of thinking was also quite peculiar. As challengers, they didn't have the right to choose the battlefield, but they arrogantly claimed it as their right.

Fireboy calmly watched the chat in his livestream, where a group of USE players spoke passionately about fairness and justice, unable to help but feel like laughing.

"Player Dark DJ is a straightforward person. Some viewers may not know this, but he specializes in Martian cave terrains as a regional warrior. His daily training and studies revolve around this type of combat environment. So, it's only natural for him to make such a request. Otherwise, why spend money to challenge? What is EMP combat for? Victory?" Fireboy laughed and shook his head. "Of course not. It's just vanity, a means to improve through battles. The effort in training is to spill less blood on the battlefield. The main element of this battle lies in the choice of the battlefield. So, the audience should understand. Of course, if they don't understand, that's also understandable."

It had to be said that Fireboy's supporters were quite steadfast in their belief. They fully supported this viewpoint. After all, if you're going to fight, you should give it your 100% to make it meaningful.

Many USE viewers were infuriated by this grandiose explanation. Who the hell would train in such a specific environment???

Martian academies might be fine since they would involve some exposure to it, but if the wood puppet was from USE, he might have never even set foot in such a combat environment.

How would they fight?

But this process didn't last long because Wood Puppet had already made his choice.

Combat Environment: Martian Cave Terrain.

Mech: Armor Dragon Mark III.

At this moment, while Zhuang Zhou was still contemplating how to counter the Martians, Wood Puppet had already made his selection.

Zhuang Zhou was stunned for over ten seconds. "Martian caves are very rugged and dimly lit, with elevated temperatures. I don't know if the Wood Puppet has had any training in this regard, but that's not the issue. Masters have a strong adaptability to their environment. However... if I'm not mistaken, the night vision system of the Armor Dragon mech is the standard type, and it will be greatly limited in an environment like the Martian cave..."

In the instant Wood Puppet made his choice, Dark DJ also immediately selected his mech, not giving the opponent a chance to reconsider. Even if he had made the wrong choice, he had to accept it.

Fire Spider mech!

A special mech of the ROM Federation, designed specifically for dark and cavernous environments. It was an outstanding example of a beast-type mech and the masterpiece of Long Mo, the most famous mech designer on Mars. Modeled after a cave spider, it had eight legs, elastic claws, and could move swiftly in rugged darkness as if on level ground. Not only that, but its entire mode of movement was different from conventional mechs, making it difficult to master. However, once mastered, it became a deadly weapon in the caves.Chapter 25: Fire Spider

Fire Spider mech!

"Did Wood Puppet make a mistake? What's the point of fighting in this situation? The opponent is shameless!"

"Even if he wins, there's nothing to brag about."

"Restart, restart!"

"Support restart!"

The atmosphere in the EMP hall in Tianjing was also heated, with everyone calling for a restart. Any military academy student with common sense knew that this wasn't a competition but a one-sided beating. In an unfamiliar environment, facing mech-type suppression, there was no way to fight. Surrendering was the only option. If they struggled, they would only be played with.

Ayouyou didn't understand why everyone was so excited. It was the same environment, and they both chose their preferred mechs. Perhaps the environment was somewhat unfamiliar, but could there be such a big difference?

But in the instant they entered the battlefield, Ayouyou understood.

There was no light in the Martian cave. The dim light came from the thermal energy ores on Mars, which caused severe interference with the infrared night vision system of the Armor Dragon Mark III.

It could be said that in this environment, the Armor Dragon was effectively blind.

Robbie and the other team members, who were already preparing to train, stopped in their tracks. Robbie couldn't help but rub his forehead. This... he had never doubted his brother's skills, but the Armor Dragon Mark III... it was truly hopeless.

Because he had trained with the Armor Dragon Mark III in dark caves before, let alone fighting, damn it, the moment he accelerated, he would crash into walls everywhere and potentially kill himself. The auxiliary systems of the Armor Dragon Mark III were particularly outdated in this environment. If they used the night vision system, all moving objects would appear blurry.

On the other side, the Fire Spider, as a lightweight combat mech, was extremely agile and suited for complex terrains.

Armor Dragon Mark III vs. Fire Spider

Fire Spider (ROM)

Configuration: Lightweight Mech, 65-ton octopedal design with red-eye night vision system.

Fusion-driven head with a 360-degree spiral laser cannon, four short and four long legs. The four long legs support the movement of the main body, while the four short legs assist in movement and attack. The tips are made of titanium blades.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the match is about to begin. Please inform those around you that some arrogant fool who doesn't know his place, the Wood Puppet God, is unaware that the Armor Dragon Mark III is blind in Martian caves. Seize the opportunity, for today will be the anniversary of Wood Puppet's downfall. Today, Dark DJ will perform a spectacle of fighting a blind opponent!"

Robbie and the team members looked at each other, knowing that no one with normal thinking would make such a choice. Even the Armor Dragon Mark III would be extremely troublesome in this environment, let alone the Dragon God. So, in the mecha warfare competition, this could only be considered a one-sided match. It mainly relied on familiarity, and unless there was a specific defense requirement, who would train for such a place?

Others were forgivable, but the Armor Dragon Mark III was truly helpless.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle.

The two mechs entered the Martian cave—dim lighting, high temperature, high humidity, flickering fire crystal ores—everything made them extremely uncomfortable.

The Armor Dragon mech took a few steps, clearly losing its super stability in the arena. Here, not only was the terrain rugged, but there were also dangerous stalactite-shaped fire crystals everywhere.

At this moment, the first-person perspective of the Armor Dragon Mark III and Fire Spider appeared in the VIP viewers' field of vision.

Instantly, everyone took a sharp breath. In the Fire Spider's field of view, the dim environment was clear and distinct, while in the Armor Dragon's field of view, everything in the cave was blurry, and the flickering red light dazzled the eyes.

An aura of despair spread.

Swish...

The Fire Spider made a move. It was clear that in this unfamiliar environment, the Fire Spider moved as if on level ground. Its eight legs swiftly and agilely maneuvered in the rugged and complex terrain, instantly closing in on the Armor Dragon mech. Swish...

In the instant of approach, two of its short legs swung like sickles toward the Armor Dragon mech. This time, the Armor Dragon mech didn't make a splendid dodge like before. Although it wanted to create distance, it was a beat too slow and got hit.

And as soon as the Fire Spider successfully struck, it quickly bounced away. Dark DJ was also sweating profusely, not expecting the opponent to still be able to counterattack in this situation. While evading, the Armor Dragon's titanium blade struck, but it failed to hit.

In this environment, the Fire Spider was too agile. Dark DJ had come prepared. He had watched all of Wood Puppet's previous battles and knew that this person possessed strong close combat skills, but arrogance had its limits.

Caution was still necessary.

Tread, tread, tread...

The Fire Spider moved around in the cave, not rushing to launch an attack. The Armor Dragon mech had already stopped moving. Clearly, at this point, the only choice was to use a static approach.

Tread, tread, tread...

While circling, the Fire Spider suddenly launched an attack from the side. Two of its short legs swung violently, and even though they were short, their attack range was still longer than the titanium blade's range. For the Armor Dragon to counterattack, it had to move accurately to enter the attack range. The prerequisite was to capture the opponent's movements, otherwise, it could only passively receive attacks.

Clang, clang, clang...

The titanium blade and claws made several crisp clashes. The Fire Spider quickly retreated, not lingering in the fight. Once it broke contact, the Armor Dragon became blind.

"Wood Puppet must pay the price for his arrogance. You can see that he relies on sound and blurry vision to judge his opponent's position. Of course, he also has some experience, but Dark DJ won't let him have his way. This is a hunt in the dark!" Fire Male regained his confident smile, looking down on others with a sense of satisfaction.

This was the attitude of Greater Mars.

In the battlefield, Dark DJ continuously moved around, launching attacks, but never lingering in the fight. However, he had already achieved impressive results. The Armor Dragon's right arm had been rendered useless in one unfavorable exchange, with sparks flying everywhere. The Armor Dragon mech could only rely on its left hand to control the blade. And up until now, the Wood Puppet, who had been crushing everything in his path, hadn't even touched his opponent.

Zhuang Zhou's live broadcast room had fallen into complete silence. The EMP hall in Tianjing was also quiet. Some people had already left. Training was training, and the weekend was the weekend. They had initially thought that Wood Puppet had trained in this area or at least had some ideas. But now, it seemed that he was truly arrogant.

He was just an internet celebrity, who did he think he was?

Armor Dragon fighting the Fire Spider in a Martian dark cave?

Could it get any more suicidal?
