Qin Feng had been waiting for this moment. He had worked hard and waited for a long time, all to lure out this monster. Now, he had finally succeeded.
Without delay, Qin Feng instructed his Red Alert legion to form formations in all directions. They utilized the "simultaneous attack and defense" formation, creating a powerful defensive and offensive posture, intending to deliver a thunderous blow the moment the monster appeared.
In the vast expanse, the monster held no advantage. Even if its mecha could control temperature, it couldn't maximize this ability on the open field. Unlike a cave that could retain heat and isolate temperature, this was a large, open plain. Even with the mecha's temperature control, it would be far less formidable than in a cave, and its power would be significantly reduced.
Furthermore, on such a wide field, the "simultaneous attack and defense" formation could concentrate all offensive and defensive power onto a single target, delivering a fatal blow. As long as the monster emerged from the cave, Qin Feng's chances of victory would greatly increase.
A rumbling sound echoed continuously, and the ground trembled. Then, a colossal red mecha emerged. Upon its appearance, the surrounding temperature plummeted as if winter had suddenly arrived.
However, this drop in temperature had no effect on the surrounding Red Alert legion. They were positioned far from the red mecha, a deliberate arrangement by Qin Feng to prevent the massive temperature fluctuations caused by the mecha's emergence from inflicting heavy casualties.
Despite the drastic temperature drop, the Red Alert legion faced no life-threatening danger, nor was their combat effectiveness impacted. Around the red mecha, however, frost formed. A thick layer of ice rapidly condensed on the ground surrounding it, proving that the temperature near the red mecha had dropped to a level unbearable for ordinary beings.
Yet, in the surrounding areas, this chilling temperature was not as pronounced. This was the advantage of the open field. Qin Feng observed the red mecha and knew he had firmly seized the initiative. He did not rush to attack, understanding that once within the red mecha's range, close-quarters combat would inevitably be affected by the low temperatures. Even with the assistance of the "simultaneous attack and defense" formation, the Red Alert legion could still be injured in such frigid conditions.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not order his Red Alert legion to attack. He intended to observe what capabilities the red mecha possessed on the open plain and what kind of attacks it would employ. He was filled with anticipation.
The red mecha surveyed the surrounding Red Alert legion and let out a roar. However, it was not a beast's roar but a mechanical sound, grating and unpleasant.
It seemed to be saying, "Come at me! Let's fight for 300 rounds."
Qin Feng found the mechanical mecha's actions somewhat amusing. He had not ordered his Red Alert legion to engage, wanting to gauge the mecha's offensive capabilities. He hadn't expected it to taunt them, inviting his Red Alert legion closer. It seemed Qin Feng's assessment was correct: the mecha's true strength lay in temperature control, inflicting damage through both extreme heat and cold. On an open plain, this mecha posed no threat to him.
However, in a confined secret realm, this mecha would indeed be terrifying. Its power was such that even Qin Feng could not directly confront it. But now, Qin Feng no longer feared it. He ignored the red mecha's taunts, as he knew very well that he was not the one in a hurry; it was the monster.
Utilizing its mecha's special abilities on the open plain was a significant drain on its resources. If it couldn't end the fight quickly, the mecha would eventually be defeated as time passed. Qin Feng, waiting patiently, would suffer no consumption. Even a prolonged standoff would not put him at a disadvantage. Thus, Qin Feng waited quietly, eager to see what measures the red mecha would resort to when cornered.
Before long, the red mecha, seeing that the surrounding Red Alert legion did not advance, understood their intentions. It then swung its two arms, channeling the mecha's immense power, and charged rapidly towards the Red Alert legion in one direction.
Observing the red mecha's actions, Qin Feng keenly sensed that its two fists had taken on two distinct attributes. The left arm condensed the power of ice, while the right hand gathered immense flame power. These two opposing attributes concentrated within a single armor were highly contradictory. An ordinary mecha, subjected to such extreme and opposing temperatures, might immediately disintegrate, like the Red Alert soldier who had entered the secret realm and turned into brittle stone, shattering into pieces. Yet, this mecha was surprisingly resilient, showing no signs of damage despite the powerful thermal impact.
Carrying these two distinct attributes, it charged towards the Red Alert legion. However, the red mecha's movements were slow, allowing Qin Feng to command his Red Alert legion to evade immediately, causing the mecha to miss.
As the red mecha stood where the Red Alert legion had been, the rocks beneath its feet shattered. Under the combined assault of ice and flame, the ground was as fragile as paper, and the rocks were as soft as tofu, easily scattered by a finger or even a gust of wind.
If Qin Feng had ordered his Red Alert legion to retreat and face the charging mecha, he might have suffered heavy losses. Upon contact, ordinary Red Alert soldiers would have been instantly torn to shreds by this immense power.
Witnessing this scene, Qin Feng smiled. He sensed that the red mecha's power consumption had significantly increased by concentrating such opposing attributes within itself. Although the mecha was durable, maintaining its current state required a vast amount of energy. Once its energy was depleted, it would be unable to sustain this state, and Qin Feng would win without a fight, able to deal with the red mecha as he pleased.
Seeing this, Qin Feng continued to command his Red Alert legion to surround the red mecha, maintaining a safe distance.
No matter which direction the red mecha charged, Qin Feng would order an immediate evasion, causing it to miss. This constant attrition would wear down the red mecha, while also preventing it from escaping.
