This was not his first time entering the purple mist, but Ye Chong still felt nervous. It was a rare emotion for him. Compared to him, the crew members were calmer. The first time Ye Chong encountered the purple mist, he encountered a six-fingered red-tailed beast. The dangerous situation at that time was still vivid in his mind.
The purple mist before him was much larger than the one on Yi Ju. Ye Chong knew that the larger the nest, the stronger the red-tailed beast "horde".
The battle on the planet behind him was intense. Both the red-tailed beasts and the Xue Lai Clan were at a critical moment. The Xue Lai Clan had sent out their elites. They were still using laser guns, but the red beams were lethal to the red-tailed beasts. The Xue Lai Clan was the most technologically advanced among the Three Aristocratic Families, so it was not surprising that they could come up with a countermeasure. If the Research Consortium could make a laser gun like the G-Z, there was no reason the Xue Lai Clan could not.
If the Xue Lai Clan had such an advanced weapon from the beginning, they would not be in such a passive position. Perhaps it was because of the cost, or the immaturity of the technology, or the secrecy of the technology. However, there was no such thing as "if" in this world, so it was not surprising that the Xue Lai Clan was in a passive position.
It would not be easy for the red-tailed beasts to escape now. Ye Chong watched the battlefield coldly, like an assassin waiting for his prey in the dark.
He had already found his target.
The huge warship Darkniss charged into the purple mist like a meteorite!
In the control room, a shooter was in charge of guiding the ship. The entire warship was silent. To not disturb the shooters, all the crew members held their breaths.
"Target, 25 degrees radius vector! Fire! "
"Target, 32 degrees radius vector! Fire! "
…
One after another, the thick and hot beams of the warship cannons struck the important nodes of the soft nests like lightning.
Bang! Bang! The huge explosion quickly turned the purple mist into a mess, and the power of the egg-shaped high explosive bomb suddenly burst out. How could the soft soft body withstand such a violent impact? It was instantly blown into a pile of mud.
The destruction of the egg-shaped high explosive bomb was beyond Ye Chong's imagination. The shockwave from the explosion would cause severe damage to the surrounding soft materials. As a result, a single egg-shaped high explosive bomb could destroy a large area.
It was not until Darkniss passed through the purple mist and entered the nests that Appilok, who had been observing the battle through optical mode, noticed it. As a result, the battleship cannons were immediately replaced by high explosive bombs. The lethality of the egg-shaped high explosive shell was very limited in ordinary battles. However, they were extremely fatal to soft bodies.
The endless stream of soft bodies exploded into balls of liquid. Although no sound could be heard, the scene in front of them was still very shocking. The bubble that was as thick as a battleship suddenly exploded in front of him, and countless slurry splattered everywhere.
The high explosive bombs were very effective, and the crew members were thankful. The soft bodies were full of warts, and the crew members shuddered at the sight. The number of warts in the purple mist was much more than the one Ye Chong saw on Planet Yi Ju.
Each wart contained a red-tailed beast, and each soft body was densely packed with warts. There were at least hundreds of thousands of them.
Ye Chong did not even need to order for the high explosive bombs to fly towards the warts.
Suddenly, a group of red-tailed beasts appeared in front of Darkniss, and charged towards the ship with bloodshot eyes. There were about a thousand red-tailed beasts in this group. It was hard to tell if they were guarding the nest, or had just emerged from the warts.
If other squads encountered this group of red-tailed beasts, they would be cautious. A thousand red-tailed beasts were a force to be reckoned with, no matter where they were.
The high explosive bombs hit the red-tailed beasts and forced them back, but did no damage to them. This seemed to boost their morale, and they flew towards Darkniss like flies to a delicious aroma.
They knew that these big guys were not that scary. They had lost count of how many of these big guys had been destroyed by their arrowheads. They were full of confidence. They believed that this big guy would definitely be destroyed by their indestructible arrowhead tails, just like in the past.
Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and the glaring light blinded them for a short period of time. However, they did not panic. They had encountered situations like this many times, but in the end, there were very few that could cause them any harm.
They instinctively evaded. Based on past experience, it was time for them to attack.
However …
There was a strange feeling on its neck … It hurt … It hurt … It felt like something was slipping out of its body …
Its vision blurred, and its consciousness began to fade. The world seemed to be moving further and further away from it, and its body began to lose control.
The world darkened, and its life ended in darkness.
Brahmara was still ferocious. With him as the arrowhead, he attacked like a sharp blade, unstoppable. However, he was still not enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"Chief, we are in trouble." It was a trembling old man with white hair.
A beautiful middle-aged woman softly agreed. Even if the old man didn't say it, she could see it clearly. How could the Chief of the Xue Lai Clan not see this? But right now, she didn't have any good ideas. The battle against the red-tailed beasts had been going on for years, but their situation was getting worse. Their living space was being squeezed to the limit, while the red-tailed beasts were getting stronger.
Before this, who would have thought that the Xue Lai Clan would be forced into such a miserable state by another creature? No, their current situation could no longer be described as embarrassing. They had already reached the juncture of life and death! They only had one planet left, and there was no way out.
The red-tailed beasts were far more terrifying than they had expected, and some of their characteristics had put the Xue Lai Clan in a disadvantageous position. Of the Three Aristocratic Families, the Xue Lai Clan was in the worst situation.
However, the Xue Lai Clan, forced into a desperate situation, exploded with power.
The red-tailed beasts were facing the toughest battle they had ever faced. From the beginning, the Xue Lai Clan had been fighting as they retreated, and now they had nowhere to retreat. They had suffered heavy losses, but most of them were external forces. The core forces of the clan were not fatally wounded.
The battle soon came to a stalemate, but the Xue Lai Clan was much more resilient than the red-tailed beasts had expected. They did not expect this, and were at a disadvantage.
The Chief watched the intense battle on the holographic screen quietly.
She had been the Patriarch for more than 20 years, and in these 20 years, she was constantly on edge, as if she was treading on thin ice. She knew how heavy her responsibilities were, but her sister had suddenly disappeared. Helpless, she could only bite the bullet and sit in this seat.
Fortunately, she had not made any big mistakes all these years! She couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When she came back to her senses, she was startled and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart. So this was how she felt all this time.
"Chief, look! Something's wrong! "Her maid, the Snow Lady, was surprised.
Something's wrong? The Chief quickly composed herself, and her expression returned to normal. Of all the girls around her, the Snow Lady was her favorite. While she was called a maid, she was no different from a daughter. The Snow Ladies were quick-witted and intelligent, and they were the most outstanding among the younger generation. In fact, in terms of intelligence, Yushan, her son, was the best in the clan. However, Yushan had a strange disease since he was young. He could not grow up physically or mentally, like a seven or eight year old child. In fact, he was already 24 years old.
However, as if to prove his fairness, God gave Yushan the intellect of a genius. The Xue Lai Clan was known for their calculative abilities, which was why they were so outstanding in the field of machinery. However, Yushan's intellect was revered by the entire Xue Lai Clan.
No one would have guessed that the best fighter of the Xue Lai Clan, the real maker of the best mech, was this boy who would never grow up.
Ever since Shang and his sister disappeared, the Xue Lai Clan did not have a true elite fighter. However, reality was always full of drama. As for the other two aristocratic families, the best fighter of the Ye Family, Ye Luo, disappeared almost at the same time. Not long after that, the best fighter of the Xi Feng Tribe was killed in the free space zone. The fall of the three top fighters shocked the entire He Yue galaxy.
Brahmara had grown up with Yushan, and the two of them were like brothers. As a mother, she was always proud of her son. However, Yushan was smart, but not suitable to be the Chief. As for Yushan's safety, she was not worried. With Siva around, no one could hurt him.
If Shang was still here, they would be a good match.
Whenever she thought of her sister and Shang, she would always miss them. Shang should still be around, but his master was not her sister, but a boy named Ye Chong. All this while, she wanted to know the relationship between Ye Chong and her sister, but she did not expect this boy named Ye Chong to be so murderous. She seemed to be a little overbearing in the beginning, and the enmity between them was inexplicably formed.
The only thing that puzzled her was that Yushan seemed to like Ye Chong, and Ye Chong took good care of him. After all, Yushan was very picky, and did not have many friends in the clan. Yushan had once told her that he liked Ye Chong. She also learned that Ye Chong had asked Yushan about Shang.
This proved that Shang was in the hands of this young man.
Siva was, in a way, a product of Yushan's imitation of Shang, but with more advanced technology. However, in terms of materials, it was not as good as Shang.
Siva was almost on par with Shang, and she was not as good as her sister! In her heart, her sister was always decisive. She missed her sister even more now, both physically and mentally.
However, now was not the time to be sentimental.
These thoughts flashed through her mind, and she forced herself to focus on the battle in front of her.
"What's the situation?" She asked in a low voice. Her years as the Chief had taught her to hide her emotions well.
The Snow Lady answered respectfully, but with a hint of confusion, "The red-tailed beasts seem to be retreating!"
"Retreating?" The Chief was surprised, and began to observe the battlefield. As expected, the red-tailed beasts seemed to be agitated, and wanted to retreat immediately. The Xue Lai Clan had been fighting against the red-tailed beasts for a long time, and they had a deep understanding of their enemy.
The red-tailed beasts did not care about formations when they fought. They looked disorderly, but in fact, they worked well together.
In previous battles, the red-tailed beasts had never retreated in the middle of a battle. Besides, while the battle was in a stalemate, the red-tailed beasts still had the upper hand.
Could it be that some unknown changes had occurred?
A few red-tailed beasts had already left the battlefield, and were flying towards their main base - the purple mist.
The purple mist was calm, and looked no different from usual.
The Chief quickly ordered, "Order Siva to keep the red-tailed beasts busy, do not let them leave the battlefield!" Sensing the red-tailed beasts' intentions, the Chief would not let this opportunity slip. While she did not know what had happened in the purple mist, she had to stop the red-tailed beasts from getting what they wanted.
In fact, this was the only thing she could do now. If they did not stop the red-tailed beasts this time, they would not be able to take advantage of them the next time.
The mech pilots who received the order were determined to carry it out. As the battle was in a stalemate, both sides were in a mess. Under such circumstances, it was not difficult to carry out the order.
Some of the experienced and observant mech pilots also noticed the strange behavior of the red-tailed beasts. This made them even more determined to carry out the order. They no longer fought the red-tailed beasts head-on, instead choosing to chase after them.
These were the true elites of the Xue Lai Clan, and they were all highly trained in combat. More importantly, they had the advantage of long-range attacks.
On one hand, they were determined to chase after the red-tailed beasts, but on the other hand, they were panicking, hoping to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed.
Freed from close combat, the Xue Lai Clan's advantage in long-range attacks was immediately put to use. The red-tailed beasts, who were not in the mood to fight, soon suffered heavy losses. Large groups of red-tailed beasts were killed by the red laser beams fired by the Xue Lai Clan mech pilots.
To prevent the red-tailed beasts from attacking their base camp, the "Flesh Lair" was located behind them, quite a distance away from the rest of them.
They needed 30 minutes to fly from the battlefield to the purple mist.
These 30 minutes would be the 30 minutes of destruction for this "horde" of red-tailed beasts!
The red-tailed beasts were panicking, flying desperately towards their base, ignoring the laser beams fired at them.
Were they crazy?
From the clan leader to the lowest-ranking mech pilots, no one knew what was going on with the red-tailed beasts. However, one thing was for sure. This was a great opportunity! The red-tailed beasts did not retaliate at all. They were just sitting ducks.
Thus, the battlefield became a training ground for the Xue Lai Clan, and the training was high-speed shooting!
Perhaps the red-tailed beast had forgotten to dodge, or it was too anxious to do so. This greatly reduced the difficulty of the training session.
Under the leadership of Brahmara, the Xue Lai Clan mech pilots pursued the red-tailed beasts madly!
Everyone was in a killing frenzy! This was the most satisfying battle they had ever had since encountering the red-tailed beasts. They did not have to worry about teamwork, the strange evasive maneuvers, the terrifying close-range attacks, or the piercing red arrowhead tails of the red-tailed beasts …
They didn't need to think about anything other than two things: chase and kill!
In outer space, laser beams rained down. The darkness was dyed red by the concentrated red light. The mech pilots of the Xue Lai Clan could only see blood!
They had lost count of how many of their clansmen had died under the red-tailed beasts' arrow-tails.
This was the time for revenge. The anger that had been accumulating for countless days and nights was completely released at this moment. They chased after the red-tailed beasts' tails like madmen. The laser beams rained down on the red-tailed beasts in front of them.
One by one …
The red-tailed beasts fell one by one under the deadly red light beams. They were like cakes, bitten into pieces.
The number of red-tailed beasts was decreasing at an alarming rate. However, they did not care about the laser beams behind them. Like meteors, they flew towards their base.
In less than 10 minutes, the horde of red-tailed beasts had dwindled to just over a thousand. The remaining thousand or so were still fearlessly flying towards their base.
