Facing the domineering might of Sheyan and Reef, the bow-wielding woman shrunk to one side in dismay and vexation, not daring to utter a single word. Reef wasn't the type to pursue relentlessly, after instructing everyone to rest for a while, he hurried back to the Illume-union after they had recovered to about 70-80%.
One couldn't help but admit that Reef was a person with a strong view of the overall situation. Even though he had clashed with the Illume-union several times, since both parties were on the same boat, he naturally would think for the other party. But in reality, this was also his weakness. An overly righteous and selfless person, would find it hard to survive in this realm. As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If one's way of doing things deviated from the majority, then no matter how strong one was, one would still be eliminated.
The reason why Sheyan wanted to head to the southern battlefield, was obviously to inflict more casualties on the Illume-union. Because he had just stayed in the Illume-union, he knew how terrifying this party was. He reckoned that they would be the greatest enemy for the Golden Side Mission. Sheyan didn't have extravagant hopes of delaying the main force of the Illume-union. At least, he wanted to inflict casualties on the outer circle members. It was like trying to taste the sweetness of a tangerine, one had to first peel off the outer skin!
When Sheyan and Reef hurried to the southern battlefield, they finally saw the Thanator, the creature hailed as the apex of Pandora's food chain. It was like an enlarged version of a black panther, but its glossy black skin was streaked with yellow and red stripes, making it appear even more ferocious.
At its mouth, there were 10 whisker-like external sensory bristles. These bristles were like powerful amplifiers for its sense of smell and hearing, able to amplify the Thanator's senses by a dozen times. When it opened its mouth, this savage beast's upper lip would fold upwards, allowing its teeth to extend to the greatest extent, inflicting a terrifying wound to its enemies. Furthermore, it had a chitin armour covering its entire back.
At present, this formidable legendary creature was still wreaking havoc in the crowd. However, its movements were no longer nimble. One could clearly see, this beast's movements were as though glued together. Normally, it would be as easy as breathing and eating, but now, it had to expend a huge amount of energy to execute. Thus, its ferocious claws and teeth could only deal with summoned creatures. The rest of the contestants were crazily attacking it from the side, causing it to cry out continuously.
Previously, because Uzel didn't dare to approach the battlefield, he wasn't able to immediately report back information on the Thanator. But now, he immediately fulfilled his duty.

All of a sudden, the Thanator sent a contestant flying with its tail. Turning its head to gaze towards the interior of the ship, it let out a mournful howl. The flaps beside its mouth suddenly swelled with blood, giving off an exceptionally ferocious feeling. These flaps were a form of warning or flaunting, extremely similar to the behaviour of reptiles or peacocks displaying their feathers during mating season!
Instead, Sheyan noticed the direction where the Thanator's ominous torchlight eyes were glaring towards. Then, he couldn't help but cast a sideways glance. Then, he saw Zi hovering in the darkness of the ship's passageway. Her legs were roughly a metre above the ground, and one of the rhombus glowing orbs around her had vanished. Instead, she stretched out her left palm towards the Thanator from afar, maintaining this posture.
"Looks like we're still a little early." Sheyan sighed in his heart. With a single glance, he could tell that although the Illume-union had lost close to ten members, their prowess was still akin to an iceberg in the water. One could only see that it was extremely majestic on the surface, but the portion beneath the iceberg that was hidden in the water was still a mystery! The entire party displayed a state of panic yet not chaos.
Sheyan also noticed that Reef and Archeaphill were old acquaintances. Both of them exchanged glances, as though sparks were flying between them.
Facing such a situation, the western district contestants didn't dare to be rash. They could only lure several elite viperwolves to the outer perimeter and slay them. Then, they obtained two dark-blue keys and settled the matter. After that, they retreated back to their own western district and resumed their defence. Of course, without waiting for further instructions, the contestants who had tasted the sweetness of victory had already cleaned up the corpses of the wild beasts. Even the bloodstains were cleaned up cleanly. Moreover, this time, they dug out three large pits to bury the corpses. Evidently, this could better divert the attention of those hungry creatures.
At this moment, a dense black horde of beasts once again appeared from afar …..
*****
The sky darkened. After battling for an entire 4 hours, the contestants finally heard a massive broadcast from the ship's interior.
"Please enter the ship's interior, please enter the ship's interior."
"Ship's propulsion: Single side nuclear fusion engine has been restored. Optical interference shield will be released after 3 minutes. This defensive shield possesses formidable camouflage capabilities. During the night, creatures of planet Avatar will be unable to discern the ship's exact location. Therefore, you are all safe until 8 am tomorrow. "
Upon hearing this news, many contestants who had just entered the ship's interior collapsed in exhaustion. After pouring some water on their faces, they fell into a deep slumber. In actual fact, Sheyan had already discovered this. Burying the corpses of wild beasts on the battlefield could only reduce the number of ordinary creatures. Instead, those formidable legendary creatures weren't affected in the slightest.
During the previous wave of attacks, although there weren't any new high tier legendary creatures, the number of incoming assaults had actually reached as high as 2 or even 3. Such numbers were something even a powerful party like the Illume-union couldn't withstand. Fortunately, the legendary creatures didn't flock together, but were instead attracted by the large pits of buried corpses near the battlefield. Thus, the contestants were given the opportunity to deal with them separately.
Fortunately, the other regions weren't fools. After suffering two losses, they immediately began to observe the western district. They wanted to know why the beast horde was so uninterested in them. In the end, a simple task like cleaning up the battlefield was quickly learned. Even so, by the time the sky turned dark, the number of contestants remaining had been reduced by almost half!
Of course, one had to take note that the word 'reduced' wasn't 'killed'. Contestants who were able to survive till now had already learned how to make a choice. Therefore, even if they paid the price of 3 points in their highest attribute and 5 points in their achievement points, contestants who sensed that things weren't going well and decided to give up could be found everywhere. After all, survival was the foundation of everything.
At this moment, 5 RDA workers appeared from the upper cockpit of the valkyrie. They spiralled down from a flight of stairs, before stopping at the core region of the ship. After exchanging a few words, they found a nearby place to sit down.
All contestants could use their portable PDA to conduct inquiries, and purchase a series of medicines, equipments, recipes, unknown strange items etc. Worth mentioning, the only currency available for purchase was battle contribution points.
Naturally, those 5 guys were instantly surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Even a mosquito would find it difficult to fly in. Instead, Sheyan was contemplating as he stared at the flight of stairs that the 5 workers descended. He even attempted to climb up, but when he neared, he received a warning from an electronic voice. It stated that this was a forbidden zone, if he insisted on entering, all RDA company battle contribution points would be deducted, and he would be attacked by all ship weapons.
Sheyan naturally wouldn't insist on entering the second level of the forbidden zone. After silently nodding his head in contemplation, he once again sat down at a corner. At present, all the contestants were congregated at the central hall of the ship. They sat in a distinct group, as they sized each other up with vigilant gazes. (To be continued.
