The cold carcasses of the red-tailed beasts floated around them, giving Ye Chong a hard time. The injured red-tailed beast was agile, weaving through the carcasses. If it was not injured, Ye Chong would have lost it. It was a pity that Sang Pu and the rest were not here, or the red-tailed beast would not be able to escape.
Ye Chong did not know that Sang Pu and the rest were not far away from him, destroying the thick mollusks. Since the mollusks were between them and the comms channel could not be used, they did not know what was going on.
The red-tailed beast was injured, but if Ye Chong had not seen its terrifying speed, he would not have been able to tell from its movements. However, after witnessing its true speed, Ye Chong realized that its current speed was indeed a little too slow for the creature.
Han Jia weaved through the obstacles, chasing after the red-tailed beast. But Han Jia was not a living creature. Compared to the red-tailed beast, Han Jia was not just a little less agile. If Ye Chong was not good at piloting, he would have lost the beast long ago.
Mech pilots hated environments with floating obstacles like this the most. It was also one of the most dangerous environments. Long range mechs would find it difficult to lock onto their targets in this environment. Close range mechs were also troubled by the environment, as they did not dare to move fast. This was because they did not dare to increase their speed. However, without speed, close range mechs would not only be unable to unleash their full potential, but their own safety would also be an issue.
Of course, there were exceptions. Some sniper mech pilots, for example, seemed to have a natural preference for this complicated and chaotic terrain. Moreover, they were adept at concealing themselves, and their ability to kill with a single strike from a long distance made them terrifying killers who hid in the dark.
Ye Chong believed that Mu was definitely a super sniper mech pilot. However, the environment was too strange, and even Mu's holographic scanning system could not be used. Ye Chong could only rely on his own strength to chase after the red-tailed beast.
The red-tailed beast seemed to understand that this was no longer its territory, and flew out of the purple gas cloud without looking back.
Ye Chong was excited by this discovery. He knew that if he could get out of this area, the scales of victory would begin to tip in his favor.
The mollusks around him quickly retreated. Soon, the mollusks in front of Ye Chong were thinning out.
Ye Chong estimated that in about half a minute, he would be out of the purple mist's range.
Ye Chong stared at the red-tailed beast moving quickly through the purple mist. He dared not let his guard down. In this purple mist, if the distance between the two of them increased a little, he wouldn't be able to see the other's figure clearly.
Whoosh! A red-tailed beast shot out of the purple mist like an arrow. Then, a mech followed closely behind, whistling through the air.
They were finally out!
The moment it flew out, Han Jia's photon processor returned to normal. The image of the red-tailed beast became clear. Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Mu suddenly said, "Yezi, I just received a message from the base."
"What message?" Ye Chong asked, his eyes still fixed on the holographic screen.
"It's about Fei Si's report on this biological community," Mu introduced calmly.
"Report?" Ye Chong was taken aback. A report at this hour? However, he quickly gathered himself and asked, "What does it say?"
"Fei Si's research found that this biological community can evolve in a very short period of time. There are two main reasons for their evolution - energy and metal." Mu's voice was clearly mechanical.
"Energy and metal?" Ye Chong frowned, but his eyes did not leave the holographic screen. With the photon processor and Mu's help, Ye Chong could easily lock onto his target. This gave Ye Chong some time to think.
"Could it be that energy attacks can't hurt them?" Ye Chong reacted quickly and asked the question directly. He suddenly thought of the mollusk bristleworms. These creatures could absorb energy beams.
Ye Chong looked at the back of the red-tailed beast on the holographic screen and frowned again. The mollusk bristleworms were immune to energy attacks, but they were slow, and could only deal average damage. However, if it was a red-tailed beast, then it would be a different story. They were fast, agile, and strong. Their bright red arrow-shaped tails were lethal. If they were immune to energy attacks, then it would be troublesome!
"About that, I need to verify it. Shall we start now? "Mu asked methodically.
Ye Chong was speechless. He took a glance at the starships in the distance and rejected Mu's suggestion. "There are too many people now." He understood what Mu meant by verification. If Mu and Shang suddenly appeared in front of everyone, it would be a shock to the world. So far, Ye Chong had a vague feeling that Mu and Shang must have some kind of close relationship with the Xue Lai Clan, although it was not clear yet.
However, neither Ye Chong nor Mu and Shang cared much about it. After all he had been through, Ye Chong was no longer concerned about some things, such as his and Mu and Shang's origins. All he wanted now was to return to the Five Galaxies and do what he liked, like research. Even if he could not return, as long as he could live a peaceful life in He Yue Galaxy, Ye Chong would not mind. As for Mu and Shang, he would not be interested in such things.
But to his regret, it seemed that this simple wish couldn't be realized so easily. The sudden appearance of the unknown lifeforms had ignited the war. If there was still a chance of survival in a war between humans, then a war between different lifeforms would usually end with the death of one side.
Fei Si's report was enough to prove this. Energy and metal were necessary for the evolution of these lifeforms. These were also the conditions for the survival of humans today. This was an irreconcilable conflict between humans and these lifeforms.
It was foreseeable that this war would end in either the other side or the other.
He Yue Galaxy would be in chaos for a while. For some reason, Ye Chong could not help but sigh in his heart. He wondered how the Five Galaxies would fare now. Would they be able to live in peace?
Ye Chong was not ambitious. He felt that he was not the main character in this war. The main characters on the human side would probably be the Three Aristocratic Families. Hmm, with the Sang Tribe's victory, they would also be one of the main characters.
In truth, Ye Chong was not interested in the Sang Tribe. To him, while he had helped the Sang Tribe, the Sang Tribe had also helped him a lot. According to the principle of fairness, both sides did not owe each other anything.
He had come back this time because he did not want the Sang Tribe to be wiped out because they were defenseless. Now that they had won, there was nothing for him to do. After killing the red-tailed beast, Ye Chong planned to bring Rui Bing, Little Rock and the rest to find the Gateway back to the Five Galaxies.
The war in He Yue Galaxy would only intensify. Ye Chong did not mind fighting, but he would never fight for the sake of the Void. Fighting for himself was a deep-rooted belief in him.
Perhaps returning to the Five Galaxies would be a good choice.
"Mu, where are Sang Pu and the rest?" Ye Chong snapped out of his thoughts and took a look at the red-tailed beast on the holographic screen, and asked Mu and Shang.
"They're still in the purple mist. Sang Tie brought 30,000 men with him just now, and they're already engaged in battle. "Mu and Shang had been in contact with the base ever since they left the purple mist.
Ye Chong nodded in acknowledgment. He was not worried about Sang Pu and the rest. Even he could not do better than Sang Pu when it came to commanding a large army. Besides, Sang Tie's 30,000 men should not be a problem.
Mu reminded Ye Chong, "The red-tailed beast is heading towards the Calamitous Asteroid Belt."
"Yes," Ye Chong replied softly. Han Jia continued its pursuit. If Mu and Shang were to come out now, they could try to attack from a distance, but Ye Chong did not want to do that. Mu and Shang must be from a powerful background. Ye Chong did not mind it, but not everyone would be like him. For example, if the Xue Lai Clan knew about Mu and Shang, they would definitely take action. Based on the way the aristocratic families usually did things, these actions were usually hostile and dangerous.
However, long range attacks had always been Ye Chong's weakness, so he had no choice but to stick with the enemy.
Once they entered the Calamitous Asteroid Belt, Mu would be able to unleash his power without being noticed. More importantly, the red-tailed beast was still a living creature, and its stamina was limited. Han Jia, on the other hand, was made of teardrop mineralite, and could fly for long periods of time.
Ye Chong could not help but compliment the red-tailed beast in his mind. The red-tailed beast was fast indeed. Even when it was injured, Han Jia could barely keep up with it.
This scene was also captured by the reporters who were watching from afar.
"Everyone, look!" The reporter said excitedly, "Just now, an unknown lifeform and a mech came out of the purple gas cloud. We can see the creature clearly from here. "
The image of the red-tailed beast on the holographic screen became clearer.
"Wow!" The reporter could not help but exclaim, "This is the clearest image of the unknown lifeform we have seen so far. As you can see, this unknown lifeform is different from any other lifeform we have seen. Its back … "
He suddenly changed his tone, "We will talk about this unknown lifeform later. Now, let's look at the mech behind it. "
"Huh?" The reporter exclaimed again, his voice full of surprise, "I have to inform you of a regrettable news. This mech has an excellent anti-scanning system. Our holographic scanning system could not detect its presence. The image you are seeing now is captured by optical mode. It is not very clear, and we cannot see the mech clearly … "
As the reporter spoke, the red-tailed beast and Han Jia had entered the Calamitous Asteroid Belt one after the other. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log on to WWW. CMFU. com. Support the author, support the original reading!)
