Suddenly, countless beams of light shot out from Darkniss. Compared to the mech pilots, the shooters who communicated with their parapsychic senses were much more accurate. Thousands of laser beams were fired at the same time. From afar, Darkniss looked like a hedgehog made of light.
The dark mass of red-tailed beasts was instantly pierced through by the laser beams.
The most terrifying thing was that almost all the red-tailed beasts were hit in the throat. In this round of attacks, only five red-tailed beasts were injured. The rest of the red-tailed beasts were all killed.
Some of the red-tailed beasts with more than five fingers turned around and fled without hesitation. Their faces were filled with fear.
Ye Chong had never seen a red-tailed beast like that before. What was it that made them so afraid?
Ye Chong began to understand the situation. He remembered the holographic recording from Glazed Night's mech. Only the high-level red-tailed beasts could lead their brethren away from the spatial cracks. This meant that they must have a parapsychic sense similar to that of Sha Ya and the other shooters. If that was the case, they would be able to sense the parapsychic waves from the shooters on Darkniss.
There were more than 600 Level 6 shooters, three Level 7 shooters, six Level 8 shooters, and Sha Ya who was a Level 9 shooter. Their parapsychic waves were terrifying. Even Ye Chong, who was within their parapsychic waves, felt uneasy. The red-tailed beasts at the front were scared out of their wits.
That was why they turned around and ran away.
However, how could Sha Ya let the prey under her nose escape? Now, her strength was increasing day by day, but her sharp aura was gradually being worn away, replaced by calmness and restraint.
However, she was now showing them what it meant to be a Level 9 shooter. In less than a second of time, sixty-six streaks of light shot out from the firing cabin she was in, the light beams blossoming like flowers.
Ye Chong had specially modified the shooting pods for the few advanced shooters. As the only Level 9 shooter, Sha Ya's shooting pod was the best of the bunch, but also the most difficult to operate.
None of the 66 laser beams missed their target.
50 five-fingered red-tailed beasts and 16 six-fingered red-tailed beasts were killed in the blink of an eye by Sha Ya's laser beams.
Even Ye Chong was momentarily stunned by the result of the battle. A six-fingered red-tailed beast was no problem for Ye Chong. If he used Celest, he could finish the battle quickly. However, he did not think he could kill so many red-tailed beasts in such a short time. It was too scary!
Sha Ya's stunning performance boosted the morale of the crew on Darkniss.
Jin Weidong and the others did not want to be left behind. After training in the Sea of Threads, all the archers' parapsychic abilities had greatly improved. Jin Weidong and the others were already showing signs of breaking through to Level 9.
Level Nine and Level Eight seemed to be only one level apart, but the difference in strength was like the difference between clouds and mud.
With the help of Darkniss, the shooters were able to unleash their full potential within a short distance. Under the powerful attacks of these powerful archers, the battle quickly came to an end.
However, after a short pause, a new wave of attacks began.
The battle that followed seemed to confirm Ye Chong's speculation. The red-tailed beasts were clearly organized. They wanted to use their advantage in numbers to stop them.
The battle was extremely intense.
Darkniss was also depleting its energy reserves quickly. Fortunately, compared to the energy cells commonly used in the Five Major Galaxies, the energy contained in energy crystals was much higher. Besides, Ye Chong was well prepared this time. He had brought an astonishing number of energy crystals. Otherwise, with the current rate of consumption, they would soon face a hopeless situation of running out of energy.
Darkniss advanced at full speed. Any red-tailed beasts that tried to get close would be killed immediately.
However, even with a super shooter like Sha Ya, it was still difficult to advance. More and more red-tailed beasts appeared around them. They did not fear death, and charged towards Darkniss in waves.
Many of the shooters had already exhausted their parapsychic abilities, and fainted in their pilot cabins. The medical crew was the busiest on the warship.
Sha Ya's shooting cabin was the most impressive. Her firing rate and accuracy had remained at an astonishing level since the beginning of the battle. Her tenacity and endurance were enough to earn the respect of the other shooters. Right now, only Jin Weidong and a few others could keep up with her shooting rhythm. However, Ye Chong could sense that Jin Weidong and the others could no longer keep up with Sha Ya.
Continuous high-frequency, high-precision shooting for six hours, this kind of data was enough to make everyone look at Sha Ya's shooting cabin with eyes full of admiration. There were even many people who doubted whether Sha Ya was still considered a human. They used to think this way only for adults, but now they had a new target.
The battle finally became sporadic.
The red-tailed beasts suffered heavy casualties. According to incomplete statistics, they had killed at least seven thousand red-tailed beasts in the past six hours. That was enough to form a "tribe" of red-tailed beasts.
The price Ye Chong paid was that 361 shooters had fainted from excessive parapsychic energy exhaustion.
According to the shooters, this was very rare among shooters. Battles between shooters were usually decided in the blink of an eye. Prolonged battles were never their forte. However, Ye Chong could not do anything about it. The mech pilots who had just retreated were all exhausted, and were resting. He had no other weapons.
Fortunately, the fainting did not affect the shooters too much. However, no one knew when they would wake up.
However, this was not good news for Ye Chong.
Only six hours had passed, and the mech pilots would need at least another 10 hours to recover. If they were attacked again in the next 10 hours, they would be in trouble.
However, Ye Chong was relieved to see that the attacks from the red-tailed beasts had finally stopped.
Corpses of red-tailed beasts floated around Darkniss. It was a nightmarish scene. Fortunately, the people on Darkniss were all mentally prepared. Besides, after days of fighting, they were already numb to this.
Darkniss continued to advance at high speed. The red-tailed beasts did not leave after they stopped attacking. They kept a distance from Darkniss, following it from afar. Darkniss was powerful enough to intimidate even the ferocious red-tailed beasts.
As long as they did not attack, everything would be fine. Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief. What he needed now was a chance to catch his breath. As long as they could hold on for a few more hours, the situation would improve.
However, the remaining shooters did not come out from their shooting pods. They had to stay alert for any sudden attacks from the red-tailed beasts until the mech pilots were fully recovered.
Everyone on Darkniss was on tenterhooks. The huge army of red-tailed beasts followed Darkniss from afar. No one knew when the beasts would attack. The pressure on the crew was immense.
However, when the crew saw the calm expression on their master's face, they regained their confidence. They believed that their master was still in control of the situation.
Their master was omnipotent!
Almost all the students thought of Ye Chong that way. If not for their master, they would be the most ordinary people in the world, destined to be mediocre for the rest of their lives. Everything they had today was because of their master. They watched as their master led them through the desolate Darkniss, where wild beasts roamed.
Their faith in Ye Chong was almost blind. Appilok was the one in command most of the time, but in truth, their true spiritual leader was this taciturn young man.
Since the red-tailed beasts did not attack, Ye Chong was more than happy to see them. Darkniss gathered its strength and headed towards the warp jump point.
It seemed that the red-tailed beasts from the past few days had hurt them. The next few days were surprisingly peaceful. Ye Chong did not know what the red-tailed beasts were up to, but he felt much more confident now. All the mech pilots had rested and were ready for battle. Of the unconscious shooters, 80% had woken up.
Ye Chong was confident that he could withstand a few more attacks like this.
Ye Chong was also happy that the warp jump point was just in sight.
Ye Chong took a look at the army of red-tailed beasts behind him, and his face broke into a rare smile. He ordered, "Accelerate, prepare for warp jump."
Darkniss immediately sped up. All the engines were turned on. Darkniss sped up and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the vast universe.
The red-tailed beasts behind him were all stunned. They did not know how the enemy who had been right in front of them just a moment ago suddenly disappeared.
