Chapter 190
Langze sat on the back of the Red Flame Tiger.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the kitten out of his pocket, stuffed it into his collar, and whispered, "Xingxing, it's safer here, don't run around."
Zheng Xing huddled in his collar, feeling enveloped in the warm breath of Langze, with only his exposed head able to feel a little wind blowing towards him.
He nodded and hummed softly.
Lang Ze was finally relieved. He looked down at Ran Lie again and asked curiously, "Lie Lie, what were you doing in that room just now? Were you trying to transform into a Red Flame Tiger?"
But why did he have to enter the room when he turned into a red flame tiger? Is this the secret of beast transformation? But when Xingxing transformed into a beast, he didn't run into the room!
Ran Lie's running pace paused obviously, but he did not answer his question. Instead, he quickened his pace, causing the little wolf cub to sway and had to crouch down and sit down quickly.
When he could no longer feel the shaking, Langze curled his lips and secretly called him a stingy guy.
Seeing that Ran Lie and Zheng Xing could transform into animal forms at will, Lang Ze was really envious.
I don’t know what he would look like when he is completely transformed into a beast?
Will it be as cool as the Red Flame Tiger?
Although he thought Zheng Xing's beast form was cute, if he could choose, he still hoped that his beast form could be as tall and mighty as Ran Lie, so that he could protect Zheng Xing!
Soon, Langze had no time to think about it, because Ran Lie had already carried the two of them off the spaceship.
Because of Zheng Xing, they had a smooth journey. After getting off the spaceship, Ran Lie locked the location of the slime monster and ran over quickly.
In the cabin, Yun Zixu stood by the window.
Through the thick fog, one could vaguely see the slime monster wreaking havoc in the base, his face full of helplessness and sorrow, and Song Zehe next to him was also sighing.
They were trapped in this cabin, and there was no way to get reinforcements...
At this time, Yun Zixu's communicator rang again.
He quickly picked up the phone and heard the voice of the garrison commander.
"Yun Zixu, what's going on over there? Have the helpers arrived?" The voices from his end were a little noisy, and the situation seemed to be very urgent.
"Yeah, Marshal Li has already gone, and..." Yun Zixu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "There are two more cubs!"
"Cub? What cub?"
Hearing his words, the defending commander was stunned.
"They are the cubs from the nursery... Keeper Su asked them to come along, and they went over together." Yun Zixu was about to explain the battle record of the two cubs when the commander of the defending army interrupted him.
"This is pure nonsense!"
An exasperated voice rang out from the other side. "Don't you know what the situation is like at the base right now? Why did you let the cubs come with you? An outing? If anything goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
Yun Zixu couldn't find any chance to interrupt.
"Take those two cubs to a safe place right now. Give me Li Sinian's number. I need to contact him. You are responsible for protecting the two cubs for the time being. If necessary, you can bring the mutant garlic to support them. We can deal with other matters after the battle is over!"
After saying this, the commander hung up the call.
Yun Zixu's face turned bitter. He had to be able to get out now...
"How about it?"
As soon as the garrison commander hung up the phone, someone next to him asked.
He shook his head, briefly explained Yun Zixu's words, and then called the base's intelligent computer, asking it to find the location of the two cubs as much as possible.
The base was filled with red fog, and the intelligent computer's monitors could no longer monitor the overall situation as clearly as before.
"What is Yun Zixu doing this time? Why did he take the cubs from the nursery and let them run around?"
Everyone who heard the news found it unbelievable.
When a young red-flame tiger and a wolf-eared boy sitting on its back appeared on the screen, everyone suddenly remembered that the children in the nursery were all beast-blooded cubs, not ordinary children!
"Have they been corrupted by the red fog and gone berserk?" the person standing next to the commander guessed.
The commander shook his head, "Not really."
"They seem to be running towards the giant monster! Are they trying to join the battle? Where's Marshal Li from the Ster Empire? Didn't they say he's coming too? Why isn't he following us?"
In fact, the commander has added Li Sinian's communication number, but has not been able to contact him yet... The intelligent computer has not found him yet.
"Tell the soldiers on the scene to pay attention, two cubs ran over."
No matter what, we have to protect these two kids.
At this moment, the image on the light screen suddenly changed. When the young red-flame tiger was about to reach the battlefield where the slime monster was, it suddenly stopped.
Could it be that he finally realized the danger and knew not to get any closer?
Under the gaze of everyone, the little tiger bent down slightly.
The young man riding on its back jumped down nimbly, and then followed a building next to it and climbed up to the top floor with his bare hands... just like that?
"This kid is quite skilled!"
Although the building was not very tall, it had six or seven floors. He was able to climb up without any tools, which made him a leader in the military academy.
What's more, this boy looks only about seven or eight years old.
If you can grow up well, you will have a bright future!
"So why did he climb to the roof? To hide?" Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the young man took out a long pipe.
He held the pipe horizontally, facing a small hole, and began to play by moving his hands on the pipe.
"Is this playing the flute?"
Everyone in the command center looked confused.
Although they wanted to continue paying attention to the two cubs, the commander notified the nearby defenders after confirming the cubs' safety and coordinates, and then cut the picture and shrunk it to the bottom corner.
In the middle of the light curtain, the scene of warriors fighting the slime monster appeared again.
Ever since the red fog invaded the base, these monsters would emerge from the red fog from time to time, as if a space crack appeared in the red fog, sending them into the base, making it difficult for the defenders to defend themselves.
Now, in addition to the defenders, even some criminals with good performance have been released to participate in the battle, and they will be given a reduced sentence if they perform well.
In fact, after the Red Mist invaded the Prison Star Base for the first time, although the Interstellar Alliance did not pass a resolution for all garrisons to evacuate the Prison Star, it was also reducing the number of criminals accommodated by the Prison Star year by year.
Especially after Prison Star No. 2 was selected, Prison Star has not accepted any new criminals - of course, except for Dr. Ren Yufei who committed a crime on Prison Star.
Now, the garrison on the Prison Star, in addition to guarding the interstellar criminals left over from these years, is mainly composed of ordinary soldiers like Song Zehe who have certain potential and are sent to the Prison Star to try to see if they can awaken their superpowers.
At the same time, the monsters in the red fog also become the trial objects of these recruits, preparing them for future battles with interstellar monsters on the front line.
So the Prison Star now is more of a trial ground than a prison.
However, when the red fog invaded the base again, this trial field, which was originally of normal difficulty, suddenly entered the hell level.
After nearly a month of life and death trials, many soldiers awakened their special abilities in times of crisis, which is one of the reasons why the defenders were able to hold out for so long.
But now, I really can’t hold on any longer!
Looking at the obviously tired warriors in the light screen, the commander's eyes showed distress and anxiety. He kept thinking about the characteristics of the slime monster in his mind -
It can secrete highly corrosive mucus and is not afraid of fire. Artillery shells can shatter its body, but the splashing mucus will cause secondary damage to surrounding buildings and soldiers.
What's more troublesome is that its body has the ability to regenerate. If the firepower is not strong enough and it cannot be smashed to pieces in one go, the rest of its body will summon those fragments back and stick them together again to become a new slime monster.
But with the current firepower reserves of Base 26, it is indeed not enough to smash this slime monster in one go.
If we let this giant monster...
Before the commander could think of a countermeasure, the exclamations of the people around him interrupted his thoughts. He quickly looked at the light screen, but found that in addition to the disgusting and terrifying slime monster, there was another red figure on the screen.
It's the red flame tiger cub!
Why didn't he hide with his companions instead of running here?
What made the commander feel incredible was that the giant monster that was constantly destroying the buildings of the base and spraying slime to attack the defenders suddenly... stopped moving?
This was the first time the slime monster had reacted this way.
The commander realized something was wrong and quickly switched the voice to the soldier on the scene, asking him what was wrong on the battlefield.
"Sir! I... I don't know what happened, but... but I..."
The commander frowned. "But what about you? Report anything unusual immediately. Don't hesitate!"
"Yes, sir! I heard the flute!"
The commander was a little confused, wondering if he had misheard. "Flute sound?"
"Yes, it's a very pleasant flute sound!" said the soldier. "I feel so happy when I hear it! It's like I'm back home! I... I'm so happy now!"
The commander was stunned. Was this soldier intoxicated by the red mist? But no one who had been infected by the red mist before had ever experienced such symptoms?
Then he discovered that the slime monster on the light curtain had also changed.
After it suddenly stood there in a daze, its somewhat human-like face suddenly began to change. On that huge face covered with pustules and mucus, it seemed to reveal a...
"Is the troll grinning?"
The data analyst sitting next to the commander suddenly spoke in surprise.
giggle?
The commander looked at the distorted expression on the troll's face and felt that it did look like a silly smile, but... was it possible?
He suddenly remembered the flute sound mentioned by the soldiers at the scene.
The commander was startled and suddenly brought up the picture that had just been shrunk to the corner.
On the huge light screen, the picture was divided into two.
On one side is a gigantic monster with a silly smile, and on the other side is a wolf-eared boy passionately playing the flute. Add to that the flute sound that the soldiers on the scene said could bring joy, and the relationship between the two...
It goes without saying!
"So it was this child's flute that controlled the troll?" the data analyst muttered.
Everyone in the command center was shocked.
Is this flute sound the special ability of this wolf-eared boy? Or is it something that can be learned, and once you learn this tune, you can unleash the same ability?
Although they couldn't do anything about the giant monster for the time being, it at least stopped attacking the surroundings, allowing the warriors to catch their breath!
At this time, the commander frowned slightly, and realizing something, he quickly asked someone to contact the soldiers he had ordered to pick up and protect the cubs, and asked them to protect them and not interrupt the boy at all.
The commander had just finished speaking when he noticed that the situation on the screen had changed again.
As soon as the red flame tiger cub appeared, it was stopped by the soldiers on the scene. However, perhaps the soldiers were really exhausted and could not even successfully stop a little tiger.
Without noticing, the little tiger broke through the interception and ran towards the slime monster in the field!
Everyone who saw this scene felt their hearts writhe in pain.
"return!"
At the battle scene, the soldier who had just been responsible for intercepting the little tiger couldn't help but shout when he saw this scene, but no matter how loud he shouted, the little tiger walked away as if he didn't hear him.
He just watched the little tiger running towards the slime monster, climbing over one obstacle after another along the way, and the agile figure soon disappeared in the misty red fog.
The soldier gritted his teeth, and finally, amid the shocked and angry shouts of his companions, he rode his flying saucer into the restricted area.
When facing a slime monster, you can only attack it from a distance, because the slime that keeps dripping from its body will melt everything it touches, which is very dangerous.
Although the troll has stopped moving now, mucus is still dripping from its body.
The soldier was careful to dodge, and finally, after a chase, he saw the tiger cub again. He showed joy and shouted, "Child, come back!"
Hearing the voice, Ran Lie looked back and then showed a confused look.
Why is this person following me?
He looked at the tall figure of the troll, then looked back at the warrior, and finally had no choice but to run back.
The soldier was just about to show joy when he saw that the tiger was willing to come back, but he saw that the tiger cub was getting bigger and bigger while running. When it came to him, it was already taller than him.
Ran Lie had previously been made smaller by Su Ci because of his large size. Before leaving the nursery, he learned from Su Ci the mantra to return to his normal size.
Under the warrior's terrified eyes, Ran Lie turned back to his normal beast size and rolled up the warrior with his long and slender tail.
“Pada—”
The flying saucer used by the soldiers fell to the ground because there was no one controlling it.
"ah!!!"
The warrior who was lifted into the air screamed, and finally found out... the suddenly enlarged red flame tiger did not eat him, but put him on its back.
"Huh?"
Hearing his surprised voice, Ran Lie rolled his eyes, then turned around and continued to run towards the slime monster.
"Why are you running this way again!"
The soldier was furious, and then he sensed something. He looked up and saw a huge drop of mucus falling from the sky, which was about to hit their path.
However, the Red Flame Tiger not only did not turn around, but rushed straight forward and then spewed a breath of flame at the drop of mucus?
But……
"The slime monster isn't afraid of fire!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the drop of mucus being burned directly by the flames of the Red Flame Tiger...burned to ashes?
