Lenny shrugged and called her companions into the water. Very soon, they picked up a bunch of investigator equipment and put them on.
"Where are your other companions?" Han Xiao coughed and asked.
"Many people died. This monster stole our equipment. If we leave the range of the hot spring, we'll die from the cold. Some people were dragged underwater by this monster for too long and drowned. Other than us, there's another group of people at the other end of the cave. There's also a hot spring there."
Han Xiao nodded. There was a fork on the way here, and the other side led to the hot spring where the other surviving investigators were. If they had reached the other side first, they would have been able to obtain information about the Interstellar Beast in advance and would not be clueless about the boss.
"Why did this Interstellar Beast capture you guys?" Herlous asked curiously. "It seems to have trapped you guys here on purpose."
Hearing that, anger appeared on Lenny's face. "After we fell, this monster appeared. It captured us here and let us move freely in the hot spring. Sometimes, it would drag us into the water and swing us around like it's playing with us. It's treating us like pets!"
In terms of life level, the Interstellar Beast was a higher life form. Treating humans as pets was like taming beasts as pets. It could be said that it was' natural '.
However, people who were used to treating other species as pets had become pets that were casually played with. It was as if their high status had been trampled on. This group of Godora people felt angry and humiliated.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and did not comment. Whoever had the power could do whatever they wanted to the weak. Outside the area covered by civilization, the law of the jungle was the only truth. He said directly, "Alright, you guys are saved. When the radiation storm in the sky weakens, we can leave. Lao Mei, go to the hot spring on the other side and bring the other investigators over."
Bringing these investigators back would greatly increase the mission rating. After making the arrangements, Han Xiao turned to look at the Interstellar Beast on the ground.
The only problem left was how to deal with this beast.
"This is the first Interstellar Beast that Godora discovered. It'll be very important research material. If you can bring it back to the space station, we'll pay you a high reward." Lenny put on the investigator's combat suit and tied up her long hair again. She looked valiant.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and pondered.
Hand it over to Godora? No, this was too much of a loss. Interstellar Beasts were so rare that one could only come across them by chance. Their entire body was a treasure. Using the important parts of an Interstellar Beast could be used to make gene potions to obtain attribute points, as well as a chance to obtain talents. Furthermore, killing them could also trigger a Legendary Level milestone.
Most importantly, crushing the Interstellar Beast's crystal into powder could create a special potion. The effect was useless to players, but it was extremely precious. It could even be used as a hard currency to exchange for any resources from NPCs.
This kind of medicine only had one effect, and that was to obtain a part of the Interstellar Beast's ability to adjust its metabolism. In short …
This thing can increase one's lifespan!
Han Xiao had always been worried about this. The first few versions of Galaxy were still fine, but the later versions took longer and longer, easily reaching hundreds or even thousands of years. The lifespan of a Super was many times that of an ordinary person, but in the thousands of years of history of a civilization, it was still like a blooming epiphyllum. There would always be talents in every generation, and they would dominate for hundreds of years.
There were not many ways to increase one's lifespan, such as changing to a mechanical body, but the side effects were very obvious. However, the Interstellar Beast potion had almost no side effects.
'This is a very important thing. We can't waste it.'
Han Xiao's eyes focused. He grabbed the Interstellar Beast's crystal, and a mental wave was transmitted to his mind. It was a begging emotion.
The Interstellar Beast was begging for mercy.
Han Xiao ignored it. The surging gray light of Void Impact extended along his arm and exploded in his palm.
Boom!
The heavily damaged crystal shattered into pieces and fell into Han Xiao's hand. The purplish-blue color under the Interstellar Beast's skin quickly dimmed, and life disappeared from the body of this Interstellar Beast.
This crystal was the life core of the Interstellar Beast, and it was also the most important material.
You have killed a Interstellar Beast.
[Legendary Hunter] Milestone activated.
Current Progress: 1/5 (Killed 5 Special Creatures)
This was a Legendary Milestone. After completing it, one would obtain the corresponding Legendary Points. The special creatures here referred to all kinds of special and rare creatures, including Interstellar Beasts. Also, they had to be at the level of a boss template of a certain level and had to be unique. Bosses that appeared in dungeons did not count, which meant that one had to complete the first kill.
Luckily, there were many kinds of monsters in Galaxy. Even in the version that Han Xiao was in in in his previous life, countless players had explored for many years, but there were still occasional first kills. Of course, every time, it was a fierce competition. After all, new species were always born in the universe.
Some special Legendary Points could unlock some corresponding plots. [Legendary Hunter] was such a Legendary Point, similar to a title.
Han Xiao put away the crystal, took out his scythe, and cut the Interstellar Beast's body. He quickly collected all the important parts. The Interstellar Beast's body did not rot easily and could be preserved for a long time.
Very soon, this Interstellar Beast's body was left with its stomach cut open.
"Sigh …" Lenny's face was filled with pity, but he did not have any objections. This beast was Han Xiao's trophy anyway, so he could do whatever he wanted with it.
At this time, Herlous finally arrived with the other Investigators.
These Godora people were all pleasantly surprised. They were singing in the hot spring when they were suddenly rescued by mercenaries. It was like a dream.
Looking at the Interstellar Beast's body, the new Investigators looked at Han Xiao with surprise. They had suffered a lot in the hands of this monster and knew how powerful it was.
"Everyone's here. Let's go," Han Xiao said.
…
Back on the surface, Han Xiao used the device to measure the radiation density. After waiting for a few days, the temporary weakening period of the radiation storm finally arrived. He hurriedly called everyone to board the aircraft and flew into the sky.
The aircraft itself could only carry about ten people, but there were more than ten Investigators. They were all squeezed together in the cabin.
They successfully passed through the storm area, and the spaceship came to pick them up. Both parties docked, and everyone returned to the spaceship.
All the Investigators hugged each other warmly and were overjoyed to have escaped death.
Han Xiao was concerned about the mission, so he did not waste any time. He set the return route and set off immediately.
A few days later, the spaceship returned to the space station again. This time, it applied to dock, indicating that the missing Investigators had been rescued. Everyone in the space station was shocked.
The space station immediately opened the port. Unlike the cold treatment last time, the attitude of the space station changed drastically this time. Everyone was warmly welcomed.
The spaceship stopped at the port. As soon as the cabin opened, Han Xiao saw a crowd gathered at the dock. Almost all the members of the space station were there, and the station master was right at the front. This meticulous officer had surprise and joy on his face.
