Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 915 - 915: Section 907 - Suppression

The Pure Light Sparrow is really too small, even if it ascends to Human Rank Seventh Stage, if it weren't for the flight bringing a noticeable flowing light, and being contrasted against the dim rain backdrop, it might have been easily overlooked.

If it were a clear day, both sides' reconnaissance UAVs would likely find it challenging to capture a glimpse of Xiao Jiu.

"Distance 1 kilometer! Get out of the way!!!"

The command center of local sovereignty shouted, this is data measured by the laser rangefinder, with radar being completely useless.

There might be some error, but a difference of a few meters is better than nothing, and it doesn't make a big difference.

Sitting in the fully enclosed cockpit, the Sky Knight noticed the visible flowing light approaching and without hesitation pulled the trigger of the railgun rapid-fire cannon.

A barrage of tracer bullets formed a curtain of fire roaring out.

But the approaching flowing light twisted and turned at an unbelievable angle, casually passing through the barrage, and had already rushed near the Crystal Jet.

The bird's innate agility outperformed any human-made aircraft, not to mention the Earth Element gravity spells reinforcing it; Xiao Jiu's little body doesn't have any overload issues at all.

Thunk!~

Amidst the howling roars of airflow and engines, the light knock from outside the cockpit canopy was unusually clear and audible.

The knight Shamote Yi Han's hair stood up immediately, "What the heck!?"

What was it!?

The optical camera on the aircraft surface slightly adjusted, accurately capturing a lively little figure hopping around as if on flat ground on the cockpit canopy... A few particles of light surrounded it unceasingly, completely ignoring the high-speed airflow over the aircraft surface.

Startled and gasping, "Storm Hero" Shamote Yi Han gave maximum thrust output, and a cone-shaped shock wave visible to the naked eye burst out in front of the nose cone, the airwaves spreading around with trails extending kilometers without end.

As soon as the thrust was applied, the Crystal Jet disappeared from the views of nearly a hundred reconnaissance UAVs on both sides, completely blocked by the pouring rain all around. Though raindrops were small, as the distance increased, their sheer number became overwhelming, blocking out the skies, even more so than it already was.

However, viewed from afar, one could faintly see an invisible blade with sparks and lightning cutting through the continuous rain clouds, a streak of splendid sunlight descending from high skies, with an earth-shaking thunderstorm sweeping in all directions, completely overpowering nature's thunder.

"Number 1, Number 1, what happened? Ugh?"

Noticing an abrupt acceleration from his comrade, and pure acceleration at that, without any evasive or attack maneuvers, aircraft Number 2, Sky Knight Neimalis, was greatly puzzled, but upon seeing the imagery shared by the command center through the battlefield data link, couldn't help but draw a breath of cold air.

"Storm Hero's" ride, the Crystal Jet "Low Pressure," had been approached by a bird, and even at speeds close to Mach 8, it failed to successfully shake it off.

Those crimson little claws seemed to stride leisurely upon the canopy of Low Pressure's cockpit, even having the leisure to glance around nonchalantly, its petite pale yellow beak pinching a sesame-sized particle of light and gently pecking it.

Ding!

The "Light Mirror Spell" display suspended inside the cockpit canopy flickered due to the damage at the Magic Array Foundation, transformed into countless light particles that dissipated in the air, this being only one of the light mirrors, while the others were affected too, showing vibrations and fuzziness.

A slight airflow seeped into the cockpit, and even with the specialized aerial combat single soldier tactical armor worn by the Sky Knight Shamote Yi Han, the permeating bone-chilling cold surrounding his neck could still be felt.

No Crystal Jet ever considered engaging in a true close-quarters combat when designed.

Perhaps, even if it reached that point, it would likely be a dire situation for the Sky Knight.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

The Little Bird's chaotic pecking caused all the "Light Mirror Spell" arrays suspended inside the Crystal Jet "Low Pressure" cockpit to go out collectively, leaving only the stereoscopic display screen, and the pecking appeared to penetrate the canopy, leaving unremovable black marks on the screen, each the size of a coin, being irremediable damages.

The wide-angle miniature cameras on the aircraft surface weren't spared either, with a gentle peck on the lens causing it to be blinded on the spot.

Unless it's a tough-skinned airship, it's very difficult for any single-soldier combat aircraft to elevate its defense to a very high degree, even if the Crystal Jet with relatively strong surface strength still stands like a brittle layer in front of the Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu's sharp beak.

Most critically, the protective field and magic shield enveloping the aircraft had no effect, as the Pure Light Sparrow easily reached the aircraft without triggering any special defensive mechanisms.

After a series of dings, the cockpit canopy was already riddled with holes, unable to maintain a fully sealed state.

If not for the single soldier tactical armor covering him from head to toe, Sky Knight Shamote Yi Han would have been frozen stiff by the high-altitude cold seeping in at this moment.

Shamote Yi Han quietly pulled out his combat pistol he carried, preparing to aim at the direction of the commotion outside the cockpit canopy.

At this moment, the cockpit canopy suddenly became quiet.

The Sky Knight, completely unsure of the external situation, lost the ability to observe the outside, only being able to know the flight altitude, speed, and position of the Crystal Jet ride through the flight control system.

Yet without warning, most system modules of the Crystal Jet "Low Pressure" collectively shut down instantly, the engine roar disappeared simultaneously, with the composite environmental noise produced by each function module running in the cockpit also vanishing, plunging into a deathly silence.

In the next second, the entire cockpit fell into a dizzying spin, with the aircraft flying at a speed of 5 Mach per second losing balance, forcing Shamote Yi Han to endure tremendous overload impact.

"Abandon ship, abandon ship, 'Storm Hero,' your 'Low Pressure' has stalled!"

Boom!~

The canopy, turned into a sieve, was ejected by explosive bolts, with the gritting Sky Knight Shamote Yi Han decisively initiating ejection.

His whole body was pinned to the seat, only managing to lower his head to gaze at the sprawled-out ride plummeting to the ground after a while.

Boom!~

A crackling fireball rapidly expanded.

The Crystal Jet had just zoomed, and its current position was far from the rain cloud mass, providing a very clear view,

One could see not far away a not particularly wide river crossing the desert, with a massive cargo ship cautiously moving slowly through the river channel.

So close!

Inside the tactical helmet, Sky Knight Shamote Yi Han had an expression filled with lingering fear.

As the ejection triggered, the Crystal Jet "Low Pressure" was less than two thousand meters from the ground, lingering another moment might have missed the safe ejection altitude, even if successfully departing the cockpit, opening the parachute timely might have been futile.

"Chirp!~"

A crisp bird call brought Shamote Yi Han back to his senses from a state of daze.

A small bird with a completely black body and golden feathers interspersed between its wings circled around him several times, then effortlessly landed on the taught parachute cord.

Enemies meeting; overawed from guilt.

"Shoo! Shoo!"

Shamote Yi Han, begrudging, waved his hand attempting to drive it away, but soon surrendered to fate and gave up.

Just missing a few centimeters, yet it's like a chasm.

No way, the sky is the other's domain; the Sky Knight, losing his mount, hanging by a thread as a knife for a bird and meat for himself was defenseless.

The Little Bird need only lightly peck through one or two parachute cords, and he could rest in peace, hoping to be born into a good family in the next life.

Another Crystal Jet appeared on the horizon, as "Storm Hero" Shamote Yi Han's teammate, possessing the "Lightning" title, Sky Knight Neimalis finally arrived, his ride named "Magnetic Tube," having specialized design enhancements for body defense and overload adaptability, complementing the earth element system talent of the pilot.

"Hang in there, 'Storm Hero,' where's that bird?"

The Number 2 aircraft's Sky Knight Neimalis scanned the sky, failing to spot the blazing fast streak of light, naturally noticing the Crystal Jet "Low Pressure" crash site, where smoke was rising.

The ejection parachute of his comrade was slowly descending in the nearby sky.

"'Lightning,' it's heading your way."

Ding!~

Xiao Jiu enters!
