A thin layer of purple mist appeared before them. Ye Chong was familiar with it.
"It's the red-tailed beast's soft nest. We encountered it last time, but there are only a few low-level red-tailed beasts with one or two toes. Something seems to be wrong with their soft nests, they're withering quickly," Rui Bing whispered to Ye Chong. It was the same place she and Sang Kan had encountered last time.
"Prepare for battle." Ye Chong gave the order softly, and the entire warship immediately became busy. It was like a machine operating at high speed, precise and methodical. The combat personnel quickly went to their respective positions. The first wave of students had already entered their mechs and were waiting in the corridor, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
The shield in front of the ship's cannons slowly moved away, revealing the huge black cannons. The energy charge glowed in the darkness.
The shooters who entered the shooting cabins were already seated in front of their control panels. Strong shooters like Sha Ya released their parapsychic waves to monitor their surroundings. The other shooters were resting, waiting for the battle to begin.
The warship Darkniss slowly but surely entered the purple mist.
The holographic scanning system was useless in the purple mist. They could only rely on the shooters' parapsychic waves. Fortunately, Darkniss had a Level 9 super shooter like Sha Ya. Her parapsychic waves could cover a far greater area than the average shooter could imagine. With her guidance, they did not have to worry about missing their target.
Sha Ya closed her eyes. Her long hair moved despite the absence of wind. Her parapsychic waves slowly spread out in all directions.
Five seconds later, Sha Ya reported the first data, "5 degrees radius vector, 11 kilometers ahead!"
The crew quickly entered Sha Ya's data into the photon processor and converted it into battle coordinates. The coordinates were then transmitted to the photon processor of every combat personnel. The entire process took only 1.5 seconds.
"Fire!"
Under Appilok's command, countless beams of light mercilessly tore the thin purple mist into pieces.
Appilok was now the true commander. Ye Chong had given him full command of the frontline. He did not disappoint Ye Chong, and completed every mission with flying colors. His repeated victories had established his prestige among the students, and the students' obedience to him had made his command even easier.
An ear-piercing scream filled with anger echoed in the mist.
The incomparably thick beam of light from the warship's cannon was filled with destructive energy, even leaving a straight path in the thin mist. That moment of emptiness allowed Ye Chong to see the spot that was hit. It was the center of the mollusk nest. Ye Chong did not know what was in the center of the fleshy nest, but the six-fingered red-tailed beast he encountered for the first time was in the center of the fleshy nest.
A volley of sixty-seven cannons was enough to destroy a small planet with a diameter of three hundred kilometers. This volley was a devastating blow to the Soft Nest.
Countless red-tailed beasts pounced on the warship. Because of the transparent colloid extracted from the colloid bacteria, they did not notice the huge ship.
The leader of the pack was the six-fingered red-tailed beast. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its face was contorted.
However, Ye Chong did not attack this time, because he knew that it was completely unnecessary.
As expected, the red-tailed beast immediately attracted the attention of the shooters in the firing bay. The red-tailed beast was only five kilometers away from Darkniss. This distance was within the range of the shooters' parapsychic waves.
Wave after wave of parapsychic waves spread out like ripples.
They had locked onto the target! This was the greatest strength of shooters.
The red-tailed beast sensed their parapsychic waves.
Ye Chong knew that red-tailed beasts were very sensitive to parapsychic waves. During that chase, he had discovered this point. They could detect metallic minerals in rocks better than most specialized detection devices.
The red-tailed beast's expression changed. It seemed to be frightened, but Ye Chong did not understand it since he was not familiar with animal language. On the other hand, another wild animal, Sang Kan, rubbed his chin and praised, "It's afraid!" The Sang Tribe knew wild animals as well as they knew themselves.
How could the six-fingered red-tailed beast not be afraid?
Other than Sha Ya, there were nine other shooters of Level 7 and above who had locked onto the creature with their parapsychic waves. Being locked onto by nine shooters of Level 7 and above was a terrifying feeling. After training in the Sea of Threads, the shooters' parapsychic waves had improved considerably. A few of the Level 7 shooters were already close to Level 8. Their parapsychic waves were also much stronger than before. The red-tailed beasts were very sensitive, and the strong sense of danger they sensed was amplified.
It was enough to shake the beast's heart!
The six-fingered red-tailed beast turned around and tried to escape. It immediately hid among its brethren. It wanted to use its brethren to interfere with the upcoming attack.
Ye Chong looked at the fleeing red-tailed beast expressionlessly. He did not care about the red-tailed beast's living environment. In a sense, Ye Chong was a utilitarian. He would only choose what was best for him. The red-tailed beasts were a potential threat. They were still weak now, but once they entered He Yue Galaxy … With their strength, they would soon acquire large amounts of metals and energy, and evolve.
It was a terrifying prospect. Hence, Ye Chong did not show any mercy. Rui Bing was also supportive of this. The red-tailed beasts had pushed humanity to the brink of despair. The number of humans they had killed was uncountable. This had nothing to do with good or evil, but the mutual benefit and hatred between different races. As for Sang Kan, he did not hate the red-tailed beasts that much. The Sang Tribe members rarely died from the red-tailed beasts' arrowheads. The red-tailed beasts near Yi Ju had long been eradicated. The children who came out of the Sang Family Village later on only had limited knowledge of these terrifying creatures to information and discussions between their seniors.
Nine beams of light, each as thick as an arm, suddenly shot out at the same time. The beams pierced through the red-tailed beasts and converged at a single point.
The six-fingered red-tailed beast stared at the nine holes on its body in disbelief. Blood flowed out of its wounds. A cry of despair tore through the purple mist!
The beams fell like rain, intertwining with one another. Cries of pain rang out one after another. The purple mist seemed to be dyed red. The red-tailed beasts in the air were in disarray. One by one, red-tailed beasts fell from the sky like kites with their strings cut.
Ye Chong's ingenious use of the shooters had paid off. The red-tailed beasts that entered the range of his parapsychic waves did not even have the chance to run. They were shot and fell from the sky.
As expected, the red-tailed beasts only had one or two toes. They were very weak. Ye Chong was even more confident of his hypothesis. "Perhaps there really is a spatial window to He Yue Galaxy here," Ye Chong thought.
There was no longer any suspense in the battle. The red-tailed beasts were annihilated in an instant by Darkniss' overwhelming firepower. Ye Chong and his crew controlled the rhythm of the battle. The red-tailed beasts did not even pose a threat to them.
Darkniss did not use any mechs, but only used the shooters and the ship's cannons to achieve this result. Even Ye Chong, who had high standards, could not find fault with it.
The battle ended quickly. By then, the purple mist that enveloped the area began to fade. It was like the mist had a life of its own. It faded away without warning, as if it was following the footsteps of the dead red-tailed beasts.
The scene in front of the people on Darkniss was a mess. The ground was littered with the corpses of the red-tailed beasts. Their blood had yet to coagulate, flowing towards the land where they had lived for centuries.
Other than the corpses, there were also many soft bodies. Just as Rui Bing had said, these soft bodies had already begun to wither. They were gradually losing water. From this, it could be seen that their living conditions were very bad.
Ye Chong was not too excited about this great victory. There were not many of these red-tailed beasts, and they were all weak and immature. What about the surviving red-tailed beasts in He Yue Galaxy? They had not only conquered many planets, but also obtained an endless supply of metals and energy. How many of them had evolved? Even a calm and collected person like Ye Chong could not help but feel troubled. He knew how powerful the red-tailed beasts were. This red-tailed beast was also six-fingered, but it was much weaker than the one he had chased after last time.
They did not see any other living creatures in the area except for the red-tailed beasts. Besides, compared to the lush vegetation and abundant resources in the mountains, this area was barren and barren.
The terrain was flat, suitable for the Hummingbirds to scout.
50 Hummingbirds were released. They would scout in all directions, sending images back to Darkniss. Darkniss, on the other hand, was slowly moving towards the place Rui Bing and the rest had been to.
"This is the place." Sang Kan's sense of direction was still as accurate as ever. The others were no longer surprised by this. This made him feel a little disappointed.
There was nothing special about this area. It was even more barren than the area where the red-tailed beasts lived.
All the hummingbirds had been released, but so far, they hadn't found anything.
Darkniss did not stop at the same spot either. It continued to move forward at a constant speed. To expand the search area, Ye Chong sent out 13 teams to search the area in a fan shape.
On the 10th day, the landscape began to change again. The flat terrain began to rise and fall. Mountains began to rise. However, this place was different from the mountainous area Ye Chong and the rest had passed through. Here, be it the plains or the mountains, there was no sign of life, not even a blade of grass.
They found a large amount of dried dead skin here. This was the skin left behind by a soft body that had completely lost its moisture. This was proof that the red-tailed beasts used to live in this area. They found a few other places like this, but they did not see a single red-tailed beast. They did not even find a single skeleton of a red-tailed beast.
Could this be the place where the red-tailed beasts that invaded He Yue Galaxy used to live?
That seemed to be the most logical guess. From the results of their search, they did not find any other red-tailed beasts other than the one they had destroyed.
Ye Chong also did not make any progress on the spatial windows that he was most concerned about. Aried also gave a lot of explanations for this. Natural spatial windows appeared periodically. When they were stimulated by the outside world, they would disappear for a period of time. However, as long as the environment around the natural spatial windows was not destroyed, they would reappear after a period of time.
The environment became more and more complicated. No, more accurately, it became more and more fragmented. The mountain range began to disappear and was replaced by piles of broken rocks and gravel that formed a small slope. They were very loose, and would slide down at the slightest movement.
"Attention, crew. Attention, crew. Space is unstable and dangerous!" The alarm suddenly blared, startling everyone on board. Ye Chong, Aried, and the rest of the crew perked up.
Spatial science had always been known for its mysteriousness and abstruseness. This was evident from the scene before them.
It was dead silent, except for the occasional cracking sound.
All the crew members saw a very strange scene. A piece of rock about five to six cubic meters suddenly began to crack bit by bit. The fine cracks zigzagged and spread, and in a moment, fine lines like a spider web covered the entire rock. During this process, they didn't see anything else out of the ordinary.
Boom! There was a soft explosion, and the rock shattered like glass into countless finger-sized pieces.
All the crew members were shocked. The spacious Darkniss was dead silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
