The last moment had finally arrived.
Everybody and the important facilities in the fleet had been moved to the starships. Almost all the starships had retreated to a safe distance and opened all their spiritual shields to ensure that the explosion would not cause any damage to them.
Since they were exploring a brand-new and dangerous unknown space zone, such protective measures were quite reasonable. Shanuya was not suspicious at all. It continued to follow the orders of human beings and patrolled in space, sweeping through the stone belts and opening broad sailing routes for the starships of human beings. Also, with its muscular body, it triggered and resisted all the objects that were suspected to be threats, helping human beings to "sweep the mines".
Through its brainwaves, it sent messages to the fleet of human beings time and time again. "Everything is normal. Everything is normal. Everything is normal. Everything is normal. Everything is safe. Everything is normal. Everything is normal.
Go! "A few fully-automatic, unmanned starships floated toward it unhurriedly, ready to serve as signal relay nodes and activate the" explosion hormone "that had been buried inside its body.
Everybody in the fleet held their breath and watched the scene through the 3D light beam, watching the Void Hunter that had accompanied them for a hundred years walk to the end of its life.
Human beings had complicated expressions.
Some were sighing, some were lamenting, some were conflicted, and some were filled with the zeal of the "wisest of all things", believing that the existence of the Void Hunter was the real starting point for human beings to rise in the sea of stars.
The old people in their old age perhaps remembered the days when they jumped and played in the folds and ravines of Shanuya when they were young. The middle-aged people would also remember the magnificent and soul-stirring scenes when they crossed the four-dimensional space together with the Void Hunter. Only the young people who had been staying inside the starships since they were born did not have any feelings for Shanuya. Human beings were not an intelligent life with a particularly good memory. However powerful their brains were, the space left for their memory cells was always limited. Many things would be forgotten in less than decades.
Right now, they only remembered that they had a powerful fleet, a sacred mission, and the glory of being the wisest of all things. They took everything that they were born with for granted. They had never experienced the days when human beings trembled in fear under the shelter of the Void Hunter, and they despised such days as the greatest humiliation.
Now that the humiliation was about to pass, the young people cheered nonstop.
Pep was also watching the live broadcast of "Annihilation" in his cabin.
She knew that she should not look. She knew that she could not stand such a cruel scene, but she could not help but want to look at Sanuya one more time, even if it was the last time.
However, the moment the light beam was activated, she regretted it. Shanuya knew nothing about the cruel fate. He was still waving his tentacles hard and sweeping across the entire stone belt. He also triggered his vitality magnetic field and released invisible waves to scan the unknown space for lethal high-energy radiation.
Even for a Void Hunter, such a large-scale scanning and cleaning job was rather strenuous. Pep noticed that beautiful red spots were gradually appearing on the surface of Shanuya's grayish-white body. The girl knew that it was a sign that the Void Hunter was exhausted, and her father and the rest would definitely activate 'Explode' when Shanuya was completely exhausted!
"Sanuya …"
Pep finally could not help but sob and reach out to touch the illusory Void Hunter in the light curtain. "My prince, I beg you, I beg you —"
The girl herself did not know who she should pray to or what she should pray to.
However, hardly had she concluded her sentence when the picture was suddenly twisted weirdly.
Deep inside the unknown space zone up ahead, from the abyss that seemed to be condensed by ink, a weird flash of colorful light suddenly came over.
All of Shanuya's tentacles came to an immediate stop. The instincts of the Void Hunter allowed him to predict a certain sign of extreme danger. All of his tentacles rose high and turned crimson.
The fleet of human beings hiding not far away seemed to have been whipped brutally, too. Many starships shivered "slightly".
Then, before they figured out what was going on, thousands of streaks of bright gold brilliance suddenly darted out of the unknown space zone!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Without thinking, Shanuya immediately opened all his tentacles and blocked the front of the fleet of human beings, using his primitive and tensile flesh as the first defense line.
The gold brilliance was unstoppable. Countless tentacles were immediately riddled with holes. Dozens of tentacles were even cut off from their roots and slowly drifted away.
Through Shanuya's body, the gold brilliance continued moving toward the fleet of human beings, but it was much more sparse and caused colorful ripples on the spiritual shield of the fleet of human beings, allowing them to see their full appearance clearly. It was a life between energy and matter. At first glance, it looked like a translucent deep-sea hairtail. Of course, it was countless times larger than a real hairtail and often had a length of three to five kilometers. It was known as "Gold Thread Fish".
The universe was a vast place with infinite alien species. Of all the bizarre-shaped alien species, the Gold Thread Fish was one of the most unpredictable ones. Some scientists even suspected that they were not living creatures at all but radiation waves in a special form.
Generally speaking, the Gold Thread Fish were not ferocious and were not a natural enemy of the fleet of human beings. They liked to hide among the stone belts and the cosmic storms. When they sensed the existence of the fleets of human beings, they would flee without any hesitation. Today, a scene where the Gold Thread Fish gathered together, charged at the fleet of human beings, and even perished in the spiritual shield of the fleet of human beings, had never happened before.
No. After a closer observation, it would be discovered that the Gold Thread Fish were not coming at the fleet of human beings. Instead of attacking the fleet of human beings, it would be more accurate to say that they had completely lost their heads in panic and did not care what was on their way of escape at all. All they could do was run, run, and run!
What kind of threat could make the Gold Thread Fish so panicked? It must be noted that such a special life between matter and energy had always been fond of complicated, changeable environments and aggressive cosmic storms. The harsher the environment, the more intense the radiation, the more active they would be.
Right now, even the Gold Thread Fish could not bear it anymore and were fleeing in a school. What kind of terrifying threat could it be?
At this moment, the flashes from the depths of the unknown space zone were more and more frequent and intense. It could be clearly seen that the alternating red and blue colors were sweeping across everything like furious flames.
"Air quake!"
