Exotic Beast Butcher!
Exotic Beast Butcher!
Any warrior was insignificant in the face of a massive fleet. Space warships were the hegemonic products of this era. They might not be nimble or elegant, but when their pitch-black cannons were aimed at the stars, even the most outstanding warrior would feel their hearts palpitate.
Warships were very fierce, but this did not mean that traditional warriors would lose their status. On the contrary, at certain times, an elite warrior could deal as much damage as a warship, perhaps even more.
Xia Fei's killing speed in the insectoid territory had clearly increased. He piloted the Vampire, relying on the protection of the Estamel cloaking device to travel from planet to planet, from one massacre to the next. He came and went without a trace, like a ghost, slaughtering the targets he had already set down.
Even if the insectoids wanted to eliminate him, they did not have the ability. Besides Xia Fei, no one knew who his next target was. They could not mobilize a large number of fleets and elite warriors to protect all the important people, could they? It had to be understood that the insectoid's main fleet was no longer in their territory, having all gone to attack the Pan-human Alliance. Even if Uti wanted to, he did not have the resources to do so.
The defenseless insectoid territory was like Xia Fei's backyard. He might not be able to defeat a warship, but in a contest between man and insect, Xia Fei, with his top-class speed, would undoubtedly have the upper hand!
The speed ability was the nemesis of the vast majority of abilities. Fire control, ice control, and rock control could all go to hell! In front of Xia Fei's super speed, these ability users did not even have a chance to make a move. No matter how strong they were, they would have nowhere to go. Once they encountered a top-class speed ability user, their miserable fate would be fulfilled.
Moreover, Xia Fei had the incredible Crafty Thrust technique and powerful control techniques. Even his exclusive exotic beast, Furball, was enough to give these Sacred Warriors a hard time.
The speed ability was extremely powerful, but it did not mean that there were no abilities that could contend against it. Mental pressure, sound waves, illusions, and spatial abilities were all rather effective against speed ability users. Fortunately, Xia Fei already had control over the insectoid's internal network, so he only needed to filter out these troublesome fellows when choosing opponents.
…
Vampires.
Xia Fei's spoils of war had gained another set of Wind Stirring Iron Lotus Seeds.
In the operation just now, Xia Fei had killed the former captain of the Golden Tent's Imperial Guard, Buma. This captain had just retired from his post at the beginning of the year and returned to his hometown to spend the rest of his life there. He had not expected that after leaving the Golden Tent for just a few months, he would be sent to the legendary King Yama's palace to serve another king. He had even taken his entire family of several hundred with him to the west.
If he could have predicted this day, Buma might not have chosen to retire so early. At least living in the capital was much safer than living in his hometown.
The Wind Iron Lotus Seed was made up of one hundred and eight conical metal thorns. It was named after its shape resembled a lotus seed.
The most amazing thing about this set of weapons was that they were almost weightless yet as hard as metal. When a wind ability user launched an attack, these hidden weapons could be mixed in with the wind and attack the enemy along with the strong wind, making it impossible to defend against.
Just like the other spoils of war, Xia Fei placed this set of Eternal rank hidden weapons in a special room. While these items were good, they were not very useful to Xia Fei. At most, he would use them to trade for something in the future. Besides, Xia Fei's mind was not on these items at all.
Stroking Furball's head, Xia Fei took out a Purple Heart of Spirit from his spatial ring and tossed it to him. Furball happily licked the ore and then absorbed all the energy within.
"Eat. Eat as much as you can. The next opponent is a tough bone, so I'll have to trouble you again."
Furball pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. Xia Fei had indeed become more liberal with his diet recently, allowing Furball to eat as much as he wanted, but Furball's workload had also increased a lot because of this. Every two or three days, he would have to go to some foreign planet with Xia Fei for a massacre, and the days were filled with tension and bloodshed.
Helplessly nodding, Furball lazily returned to the sofa, seizing the time to catch up on sleep. Two or three days of killing was nothing to Xia Fei, but Furball was a gluttonous and lazy fellow. At the start, Furball had become extremely excited due to Xia Fei's mood, his eyes turning red whenever he saw an enemy.
As time passed and the number of killings increased, Furball gradually began to miss the days of sleeping, and faint dark circles began to appear around his eyes.
Phantom laughed. "Furball's been working very hard lately, but he's also grown very quickly. At the beginning, he could only release one energy ball every few seconds, but now, he can release one every second, and his speed has also increased significantly. It's very difficult for enemies to dodge Furball's attacks."
Xia Fei nodded. "This means that Furball's growth isn't just about absorbing energy; it also needs to be hammered and tempered. There's an old saying that jade is not polished, and Furball is the same. In time, this fellow will definitely grow into a ruthless character that will shock the world, but it seems like his lazy and cunning personality won't change anytime soon."
Vampire moved quickly, and the electronic timer in the command deck indicated the time it would take for them to reach their next destination. The next battle would begin in seven hours and twenty-five minutes. It must be understood that Xia Fei had only killed Buma two hours ago, so for him to launch another attack in such a short amount of time was simply insane!
Xia Fei turned on the screen, and as he investigated the movements of the insectoids, he analyzed his next opponent, Hezar.
"He's different from all the previous opponents. Hezar is ranked sixteenth, and his ability has a certain suppressive effect on you. Are you really going to attack him?" Phantom worriedly asked.
Xia Fei solemnly replied, "It's not a decision; it's a necessity!"
"Hezar's position just happens to be on our flight path. If we miss this chance, do we have to turn around and find another chance to deal with him? Buma and Hami were once first-rate experts of the insectoid race, but they're both old now, and their rankings are around seventy or eighty. Hezar is in the prime of his life, and his ranking will rise every year. If I kill him, it'll be a massive shock to the insectoid race. "
Phantom asked, "So you're saying that you're confident in dealing with Hezar's ability?"
Xia Fei glanced at the sleeping Furball. "Not in the past, but now that I have Furball, the situation is very different."
The sleeping Furball could vaguely sense that someone was talking about him, and he felt a shiver run down his spine.
…
Scarlet River Valley, one of the few planets in the insectoid territory where exotic beasts gathered.
A huge river coiled around the surface of this planet like a giant dragon. It had been flowing for tens of thousands of years without stopping. Unlike other rivers, this river flowed with red water. Countless tributaries were like blood vessels, densely packed together.
An insectoid warrior walked barefoot on the sandy ground on both sides of the river valley. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, exposing his tanned muscles. His skin was black, his eyes were black, and his hair was black. Fortunately, it was noon on this planet. If it was night, it would not be easy to discover his presence.
The stones beneath his feet were sharp and angular, and Hezar's feet seemed to be flying as he walked over them. He moved extremely quickly, and the sharp stones could not stop him in the slightest.
Legend had it that a top-class exotic beast, a kilometer long, had appeared on the Scarlet River Valley planet. Thus, the Ascetic Hezar, who had always enjoyed hunting exotic beasts, had come here in hopes of killing this exotic beast and taking the Winterwarmth Pearl that had formed in its head.
Unlike the other Sacred Warriors who served the insectoid race, Hezar was an Ascetic Warrior. He did not accept the summons of the Golden Tent or the Sacred Alliance. He piloted a tattered ship alone, searching for the most dangerous planets to cultivate on, leading a monotonous and bloody life.
To the other Sacred Warriors, Hezar was an aberration. He only cared about increasing his own cultivation, not about fame or women. This was unimaginable in the insectoid race. Sacred Warriors did not play with women? Would they still be called Sacred Warriors?
Warriors needed to be constantly hammered to grow. Besides training, what they did the most was fight with other warriors and accumulate combat experience.
Hezar had never been interested in fighting with his own kind. He had never fought with anyone in his life. He only liked to slaughter exotic beasts. No matter what their level was, whether they were kind or evil, as long as they ran into Hezar, they would die.
His hands were covered in the blood of exotic beasts. His greatest hobby was to tell others about how he cruelly killed a high-grade exotic beast, then skinned it and pulled out its tendons. Every time he talked about it, his face would light up with excitement. As such, he had a nickname, the Exotic Beast Butcher.
In truth, Hezar was ranked sixteenth on the Sacred Warrior rankings not because he was weaker than the others. On the contrary, no one had ever challenged him, whether they were ranked higher or lower. This was because his ability was far too evil. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to make an enemy out of him.
A Sacred Warrior who had never fought with another warrior in his entire life was able to rank sixteenth on the Sacred Warrior rankings just by slaughtering exotic beasts. This was enough to show just how terrifying Hezar's strength was!
For the past two months, he had been chasing this Watergloom in the Scarlet River Valley. Along the way, he slaughtered all the exotic beasts he saw, even a cute piebald rat. It was as if he was born with a grudge against exotic beasts and would not rest until he killed all the beasts in the universe!
The Watergloom was a very intelligent exotic beast. It knew that it was no match for Hezar, so it fled along the river. Hezar pursued it until it reached this narrow tributary. Any further and it would be a dead end, and the Watergloom would have nowhere to run. Hezar was excited and quickened his pace.
In a forest around two kilometers from the river, Xia Fei leaned against a tree and observed his prey.
The moment Furball saw Hezar, it gritted its teeth, its round face contorted and its eyes bloodshot.
Xia Fei patted Furball on the head and sternly said, "I know that this fellow has killed many of your kind. Don't be in a rush. Let's first observe before we act. I guarantee that it won't see the moon tonight."
Furball angrily clenched its teeth, all the hair on its body standing on end as it let out a low whimper.
