These spiky monsters rolled themselves into spiky balls and hurtled towards the two with the speed of cannonballs, but were all bounced back by the space shield of the starry river.

Ding ding ding!

Several spiked monsters were launched against the metal wall, making a metallic clanging sound.

These spiky monsters' heads seemed to have shock absorbers installed. Despite having just been hit quite hard, they stretched out their spiky limbs and looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyue conjured countless golden crescent-shaped flying knives from her palm and slashed at their exposed facial features.

A few, caught off guard, had their eye sockets pierced by crescent-shaped flying knives, which then pulled out their crystal cores.

The level four spiked monsters then realized that these two 'foods' were very powerful, and they rolled into a ball and charged at them again.

Once these monsters formed a ball, Gu Mingyue's golden throwing knives could hardly cleave through their spiked defenses and thick flesh quickly; they could only crackle and spark outside their spiked balls.

Seeing this, the other level 3 monsters quickly began devouring each other, biting one another in an effort to evolve more level 4 monsters to join the battle.

More and more Level 4 Spiky Monsters are being generated, and they relentlessly slam into the Star River's spatial shield, gradually bouncing the shield into various shallow arcs.

Gu Mingyue knew that this couldn't continue, so she looked at Xinghe and said, "Xinghe, the metal blades are not enough to damage these monsters. We still need your space blades."

Upon hearing this, Xinghe immediately understood and unleashed a spatial blade. However, these level-four spiked monsters had a very fast jumping speed, and many of them were able to dodge the spatial rifts that suddenly appeared in the air thanks to their extremely fast speed.

Xinghe's eyes flashed with calculating light waves, gradually calculating the direction of these monsters' projectiles and the location of their landing, hitting them accurately.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyue also conjured several golden walls, using the same methods the Lord of the Gold Element Black Domain used to fight against her, to combat these spiky monsters that had formed balls.

Their spikes can stop bullets, but they can't stop metal walls that converge from all directions.

Gu Mingyue manipulated the metal wall to gradually close, covering several spiked monsters, and then compressed it fiercely.

The metallic spikes on those spiky monsters stretched out of her metal wall into spike shapes, thrashing about for a while before finally stopping and turning into a bluish-black monster pancake.

The level four spiked monsters gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and only then did they remember to escape, trying to launch themselves into the ventilation duct.

Their almost degenerated wings flapped through the spikes on their bodies, trying to increase their launch speed.

How could Gu Mingyue let these monsters infected with the unknown virus fly out? She quickly ran to the ventilation duct, erected a golden wall, and blocked the ventilation duct tightly.

"Ah~ Ouch!"

With its escape route blocked, the monster roared even more furiously. All the spikes on its body pointed in the same direction, and the entire monster coalesced into a giant cone-shaped spike. With its feet gathering strength, the atrophied wings on its back flapped like propellers, and it shot towards Gu Mingyue.

This was a desperate attack from a level four monster before it died. Although Gu Mingyue was prepared and erected two golden walls, it still managed to shoot a hole through them.

The monster continued drilling from the tip of the giant black spikes, hissing as it drilled into the metal wall, the openings in the wall even getting hot and emitting black smoke.

Gu Mingyue quickly retreated. Seeing this, the Level 3 Wing Membrane Monster, which was hiding near the ventilation duct, stretched out its thin, slender arms, which looked like withered branches, and tried to launch a sneak attack.

Wearing a protective suit, Gu Mingyue had to dodge the level four spike monsters that kept drilling in front of her, and also defend against the level three winged membrane monsters that wanted to sneak up on her from behind. Her skin inside the protective suit gradually became sweaty.

He quickly erected several more golden walls around himself and then released his mental domain to slow them down.

The level-three winged membranous monster that attempted a sneak attack was quickly stripped of its control over its body by her mental power.

However, the spiked monster's spinning speed carried by inertia meant that just as it was about to touch Gu Mingyue's protective suit, Xinghe abandoned its attack on the other level-four monsters and first erected several protective shields in front of Gu Mingyue.

As Xinghe erected the spatial shield, Gu Mingyue also flashed into the space to take cover.

She didn't reappear until Xinghe cleared away all the level 4 spiked monsters in the spot where she had dodged.

After emerging from the spatial dimension, Gu Mingyue broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the spiky monster's corpse, which was firmly embedded in her golden wall less than a centimeter from where she had dodged.

She was immediately relieved that she still had room to hide! If it were anyone else, they would probably have been pierced through by now!

She wasn't afraid of the injuries caused by the spikes when she entered the space; she was just a little afraid of the unknown virus here. Now, with the accumulation of points, her lifespan was directly on par with that of the goddess in mythology, making her cherish her life even more.

Although superhumans have much stronger physical abilities than ordinary people, they are not made of iron and will still experience birth, aging, illness, and death.

Xinghe stacked all the spatial shields in front of Gu Mingyue. The spiked monsters seized the opportunity, all of them turning into sharp cones, and charged towards the blocked ventilation openings, intending to escape together.

Soon, the thick golden wall blocking the ventilation opening could no longer stop their spiked attacks and was pierced, revealing a circular opening.

The level four monsters were overjoyed, scratching at the drilled metal opening with their claws and all looking toward the dusty ventilation duct.

"Xinghe, stop them! Don't let these level-four monsters infected with the virus get out!" Gu Mingyue shouted as soon as she saw the monsters trying to escape, before she could even tell Xinghe how scared she was.

If these incredibly destructive level four monsters carrying viruses were allowed to break out, the members of the Bright Moon Base guarding outside would be doomed. Even if they didn't die, their protective suits would be pierced by spikes and they would be infected with the deadly virus.

Xinghe reacted quickly, responding immediately upon hearing Gu Mingyue's words.

He was not afraid of any biological viruses, so he rushed to the ventilation shaft and, risking being stabbed through the heart by the monster, erected several spatial barriers there, sealing off the ventilation shaft once again.

Then, manipulating the spatial barriers to continuously converge, they compressed all the level four monsters that hadn't dodged and were desperately trying to escape into vacuum monster pancakes.

The two of them worked together to find and kill all the level three and four monsters hiding there. Then they took out disinfectant spray from their spatial storage and sprayed themselves thoroughly for a while.

Xinghe then entered a static space, moved everything else aside, and isolated a huge open space before placing the virus reagents, research equipment, and data there into that open space.

As these dangerous items entered the space, Xinghe frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.

But Gu Mingyue insisted on taking him away. He didn't voice his objection, but after testing both himself and Gu Mingyue and seeing that they hadn't been infected with any virus, he finally relaxed his furrowed brows.

In the end, the virus samples and serum that Gu Mingyue brought directly saved tens of thousands of lives at the Mingyue Base!
