Could it be that the gods these native inhabitants of this planet are specifically there to help them deal with these monstrous creatures?

So this civilization is very powerful? The aberrant beings would be trying to hide from it, how could such a noble civilization exist in the universe?

With so many monsters, and possibly many with bizarre abilities, without the protection of a high-end bionic system, it's hard to say whether the top level could withstand a star destroyer.

Wait a minute, even if such a noble civilization truly exists, we are not one!

"Hey, hey, hey!! We're not gods, we're not! Let us go!"

More than twenty Dalos men roared as they pulled the ropes back.

The captain roared.

"Get these damn hooks off now!"

However, like many uncivilized and primitive civilizations, these indigenous civilizations in the ocean, although not highly civilized and even in a rather primitive state, possessed immense strength.

Although the Dalos people looked tall, they were not physically strong and could not loosen their grip on the hooks that were being pulled by continuous force.

As the island drew closer, the indigenous people towing the pontoon could be clearly felt starting to panic.

Some of the monstrous creatures had already caught a whiff of the scent and plunged into the water with a splash.

“Shoot the rope; if it doesn’t break, kill these natives.”

A group of Darlos hurriedly pulled out their low-powered sidearms, but before they could even aim them at the rope, the natives suddenly all dived into the sea.

"Great Star Gods, we dare not approach any further. Please eliminate the Devouring Beasts, and the Nayi people will forever worship the temple..."

In less than 10 kels, only small pontoons and a dozen or so Dalos remained on the ocean.

"They seem to have left..."

"I saw it..."

"What do we do then? This floating vessel doesn't seem to have any power."

The Dalos people, looking at each other in bewilderment, suddenly jumped into the sea in all directions; staying on the floating boat was practically a death sentence.

The spacesuit continuously exchanges gases, so there's no need to worry about insufficient internal breathing gas. Even underwater, it can filter and separate out enough oxygen.

All twenty-two Dalos jumped into the water, not to swim fast, but to sink to the bottom as quickly as possible.

Through the helmet of the spacesuit, one could clearly see that the group of natives who had just scattered like birds and beasts were swimming away from the island in three directions like fish.

In terms of speed, they could definitely outrun the others, but the Dalos had an advantage: their spacesuits.

If we can get to the seabed and bury ourselves, the isolation function of the spacesuit might be able to hide from those monsters, provided that we don't attract their attention before that.

These damned natives dragged us here to feed on these monstrous creatures.

At the signal of their companions, several Dalos drew their weapons, aimed them at the natives in the distance, and quietly pulled the triggers.

The pale blue line flashed by, and although weakened by the seawater, it still reached the indigenous people who called themselves Nayi.

"Sizzle~" "Sizzle~" "Sizzle~".

While this type of ray weapon is not as destructive as kinetic energy weapons, it has the advantage of stability and range. It is impossible to kill the Nayi people underwater at this moment, but it is still possible to make them bleed.

After firing wildly, they successfully wounded some of the Nayi people from all three directions.

Hope this helps!

The Darlos continued their descent into the sea, which wasn't very deep. Soon they found themselves near the seabed rocks, trying to cover themselves with sand and stones.

There are indeed few living creatures on the seabed in this area, and it's easy to guess why.

The floating hull overhead exploded with a "bang" shortly afterward.

Even inside their spacesuits, the Darlos instinctively held their breath.

Something enormous was paddling in the water, stirring up the nearby currents.

Fortunately, it didn't seem to stay in one place for long. It must have smelled the blood and swam away in another direction.

The Dalos man waited in the same spot for a full 2,000 kel, or about half an hour, before emerging from the sand and rocks where he had been hiding.

"The monstrous creature should be gone by now, right?"

"That seems to be the case; they probably went after those natives."

"Let's make a quick getaway!"

I don't know how long it has been since I escaped using only my own strength, let alone while wearing a spacesuit, but I absolutely cannot take off the spacesuit.

In addition to concerns about viruses and microorganisms, there is now an additional layer of airborne isolation.

I swam in one direction and kept swimming until I was exhausted, but I didn't see a single marine creature.

A life-bearing planet whose main body is ocean must have a very high abundance of aquatic life. The absence of any living creatures indicates that it has not yet left the territory of the monstrous creatures.

"Hopefully, the alien invasion on this planet is still in its early stages."

"The abominations have already started to reproduce, and they're still in the early stages. What you should be wondering is why, on such a low-level civilization planet, the invaders are actually beast-like abominations."

"I said... stop discussing this... we're in a bad situation..."

The few Dalos swimming at the front looked somewhat nervously at their comrades who were still chattering incessantly on the communication channel behind them.

When the others realized what was happening, they found themselves surrounded again.

This time, they were surrounded by the indigenous Nayi people.

Several of them had something resembling a mixture of mud and seaweed wrapped around their legs and tail fins.

"It's them! They impersonated the gods, tricked us into coming to Crescent Moon Island, and killed hundreds of Nayi people!"

"Kill them!"

"Roar~~"

...

Underwater, the sounds made by the indigenous Nayi people are different from those on the surface of the sea. They resemble the varied forms of dolphin sounds, high-pitched and long, but the translator is still working faithfully, so the meaning is not difficult to understand.

Damn it, Cangyue! You were the ones who led us into that monster's lair without a word!

The dozen or so ray emitters in his hands were not very powerful, and in the water they could only scratch the skin. They were not enough to kill these strong natives, and judging by their numbers, there were over a thousand of them this time.

The good news is that the abomination invasion on this planet doesn't seem to be as severe as expected; the bad news is that they may very well be finished here before they even encounter the abominations.

"Misunderstanding...misunderstanding! We are indeed not the gods you once knew, but we did have the experience of being called gods. We flew here from somewhere else, and it was your own people who dragged us over..."

One of the injured Nayir people couldn't contain her anger and immediately shouted it out.

"Shut up! How could the gods be as cowardly as you? And dare you say you didn't use that thing to attack us?"

The Dalos were speechless. The victim was right there, what could they say? They could only lament that the fleet's individual weapons were so weak.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The weapon was not designed for use by military personnel on the bridge of a space fleet in close combat. It was designed to defend the spacecraft in the event of an enemy invasion, and also to take into account whether it would damage the spacecraft's internal structure.

They primarily employ energy rays, which have basic killing and paralyzing effects, but their destructive power is not as great as that of kinetic energy weapons.
