Chi Yao's words reached everyone's ears through his mental power that permeated the battlefield.

"Let's go."

Chi Yao said.

Yu Xingshou locked his sight on Shi Xing, and before gathering strength for the next breakthrough, he took Shi Xing down again.

Shi Xing's eyes could not help but stick to the mental cage. In an instant, the mental power of the star beast and the barrier collided with energy again. With the blessing of his talent, the gorgeous collision made him close his eyes slightly, and it seemed that there were non-existent blocks of color on his iris.

Chi Yao's mental barrier enveloped Shi Xing.

As the distance increased, the star beast could no longer see Shi Xing. Because of the double blockade of the mental cage and the barrier, it could not sense the mental power of the blue star people. Without the strong stimulation, the skin and flesh on its back, which was hit hard by Chi Yao, rolled and dripped with beast blood. The star beast finally showed some signs of decay and no longer tried to break through, but stayed in the air to recuperate.

The high-intensity battle was interrupted, and all the officers who saw this scene below couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This star beast came suddenly and quickly, and they needed time to discuss and arrange the subsequent combat plan.

When Shi Xing landed and felt the soft snow again, he was still a little unable to adapt. His legs softened. Fortunately, Chi Yao did not let go of his hand holding his waist, so that he did not stumble and fall.

Knowing that the feeling of weightlessness is not pleasant for ordinary people, Chi Yao stopped only when Shi Xing stood firm.

He let out a long breath, and his senses started to work again. Shi Xing realized belatedly that his head and back were covered with cold sweat from fear, and his heartbeat was violent in the confrontation that just ended, and he couldn't calm down.

A group of military officers gathered around.

One of them suggested, "While the star beast is resting, let the little prince go first?"

As soon as he said this, he was immediately refuted by both Chi Yao and Tan Baishan.

"No."

"No way."

Chi Yao: "Shi Xing will stay here. This star beast can cut through space and travel. If he leaves now, he will chase the direction Shi Xing left once the mental cage is broken during the fight."

Most of the troops will stay here, and there will be no one around Shi Xing, which will be convenient for the star beast.

Tan Baishan's face was not good either. "There was no report of this star beast outside the border before. It suddenly appeared. It should have broken through the border directly, entered the galaxy, and came to the empire."

In other words, the speed of this star beast could theoretically be faster.

If it still has a strong perception of Shi Xing...

No, it must have a strong perception of Shi Xing's mental power!

The spiritual power leaked by Shi Xing when he absorbed the last star beast had been blocked several times by them in the first place. Even so, when Shi Xing used his spiritual power, he still sensed his existence... This is a powerful star beast.

Tan Wen said truthfully, "A 3S-level double-mutated star beast, within the border area responsible for the Empire, you may not encounter one in a year."

"And they are all very troublesome mutation types. The lightning mutation can penetrate the spiritual power barrier and attack the spiritual sea of ​​the Empire with half the effort; the space cutting and leaping ability can blur the direction and catch the enemy by surprise. In the battle, our people need to be extra cautious and cannot be left alone."

Chi Yao nodded: "It will definitely be better to fight as a group."

Shi Xing knew this.

Because the mental power of mutant star beasts can penetrate the spiritual sea, the risk of individual combat is too great. If one is not careful and is attacked in the spiritual sea, it may leave irreparable injuries.

Chi Yao thought for a moment and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tan Baishan, "Your Majesty, don't do it, let us do it first."

"Your disorder was suppressed by Shi Xing before. I heard from Xu Jin that Erya's visit to the empire this year was postponed again due to an accident, so... if it were normal, you would be in a disorder period now, right?"

Shi Xing's heart sank. He didn't know. No one told him about this.

But thinking back carefully, there is evidence to follow. When Chi Yao went to the tree nest, Xu Jin mentioned that the doctor who sorted out Chi Yao's spiritual sea was currently unavailable when his mental power leaked in the tree nest.

Before they came to the North, their original destination was the Imperial Capital.

If it weren't for the fact that his talent had awakened a second time, Chi Yao should have seen a doctor for treatment after returning to the Imperial Capital, but...

Normally, no one would say that Shi Xing didn't notice it, but Marshal Tan Baishan suddenly mentioned it. After calculating the time, Shi Xing's heart sank.

Shi Xing couldn't help but look at Chi Yao, who happened to glance over at him. His smoky gray eyes looked at him for a moment, then turned to Tan Baishan and said, "Draw troops from the base. The Seventh Army is under your jurisdiction... Just follow your wishes and formulate a combat plan first."

If it really doesn't work, it will be the same if he goes up again.

Tan Baishan obeyed the order.

Tan Wen replied, "I have already dispatched troops as soon as the star beast appeared, and they are on their way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of battleships of the Seventh Army arrived in the sky. Seeing this, everyone present felt relieved.

Chi Yao glanced at Shi Xing again, looked up at the star beast, and judged, "The star beast has a strong self-healing ability. It is already recovering. At most, it will try to break through again in half an hour."

"What plan should you use based on the situation of the Seventh Army? Discuss it and report to me, Fei Chu."

Fei Chu stepped out when his name was called. Chi Yao said, "We just practiced a lot of formations. If there is a melee later, try it."

He asked Fei Chu and Fu Qing to organize the team and focus on protecting Shi Xing when necessary.

Fei Chu agreed.

Orders were given one by one, and when the officers were busy with their own parts, Chi Yao finally found some time to talk to Shi Xing.

Knowing what Shi Xing wanted to ask, he pulled him aside and said straight to the point, "It's not a matter of coming to the North. As long as I'm in the Empire, the doctor will find me. The delay in treatment this time is all because she had some accidents and couldn't get to the Empire within the agreed time."

Hearing this, Shi Xing finally stopped feeling guilty, but then realized something and suddenly said, "Your Highness... According to normal time, you have already entered a period of disorder?"

Chi Yao was silent for a moment, but he didn't hide it and nodded.

He added, "It should be your healing mental power that has been soothing my spiritual sea, so everything is fine now."

It sounds good, but it can't fool Shi Xing. He pointed out sharply, "But the disorder cycle is affected by the overlapping frequency of the spiritual sea. Everyone has a fixed overlapping frequency, so the disorder cycle is relatively fixed."

In other words, as long as Chi Yao has problems with his spiritual sea, he will not be able to get rid of the outbreak of disorder.

Although it seems that the time has been postponed, the actual situation is actually worse, because the time has entered a cycle...

which means that Chi Yao's spiritual sea may enter a period of disorder at any time.

And this time is different from the previous minor fights. It is because the injured spiritual sea has been forcibly suppressed for too long, and the whole has hit the bottom and rebounded.

When Shi Xing realized this, his heart was so deep that he could not reach the bottom.

Chi Yao was silent and did not refute.

There was nothing to refute. Shi Xing was telling the truth.

Shi Xing, who had just learned all this, in addition to digesting the news, was obviously also accompanied by some negative emotions. He...

closed his eyes for a moment, Shi Xing quickly gathered his emotions, and asked Chi Yao, "When did you enter the disorder period?" "At the

end of last month."

Shi Xing: "When can the doctor arrive?"

Chi Yao: "At the fastest speed, he will be here at the end of this month. Now at the beginning of the month, I have discussed with Xu Jin, and we are preparing to return to the imperial capital in the middle of the month."

Suddenly, Shi Xing found something wrong, "Isn't the doctor in the empire?"

It shouldn't be. Since the disappearance of Blue Star, the only Blue Star mother tree in the entire galaxy is in the empire. Therefore, all the Blue Star people at that time belong to the empire and can only be found in the empire.

Chi Yao's answer really confirmed his guess, "No. She doesn't belong to the Empire."

Shi Xing was a little confused, "Shouldn't all doctors belong to the Empire?"

They were born in the Tree Nest and raised by the Tree Nest. All the resources for their growth from childhood to adulthood were provided by the Empire. On this basis, the treaty signed between Blue Star and the Empire also stated that all doctors born in the Empire legally belong to the Empire.

Chi Yao sighed, "That's another story, you will know it later."

Since it was mentioned, Chi Yao also said one more sentence, "Erya's level is SS. Before you, she was the highest-level doctor born in the Empire. All of you Blue Star people are now in the mature stage. The Tree Nest will soon arrange a doctor to teach you one-on-one. I plan to let her be your teacher."

SS level? If Shi Xing remembered correctly, the highest talent assessment of Tree Nest before him was only A-level...

Shi Xing felt as if he had touched upon some secret of the empire.

Before he could think any more, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

They both raised their heads, and Chi Yao affirmed, "The Star Beast will soon recover."

The lightning just now was exploded from the Star Beast.

Shi Xing quickly calmed down and grabbed Chi Yao's upper arm, saying quickly, "Your Highness, I follow you and Admiral Fei. Marshal Tan is right. If it is not necessary, you should not take any action today."

He paused, with some emotions surged in his eyes, but he suppressed them and only asked, "Okay?"

Chi Yao glanced at his hand holding his, then looked into the blue eyes again, "I thought you would say something else to me."

Since Shi Xing could not help with this matter and objective factors had little to do with him, in order not to increase his treatment pressure, Chi Yao and Xu Jin chose not to tell him after discussion.

Shi Xing took a deep breath, and said extremely calmly and soberly, "We can talk about anything when we get back. Let's deal with this star beast first."

Seeing the determination in the child's eyes, Chi Yao was inexplicably relieved and nodded, "Okay."

He was not wrong, Shi Xing could take on more things.

Instead of being blessed under his wings, all the light was blocked.

Reaching out and touching Shi Xing's face, the discussion on Tan Baishan was also over, and Chi Yao led people to stride over to listen to the plan.

In the end, it was decided that before the star beast fully recovered, the drone would be used in the mental cage to consume the star beast.

When it was almost consumed and the mental cage could not hold on, the mental barrier would be established according to the plan and the group would fight.

Dark clouds gathered and rolled in the sky. Chi Yao made a quick decision, "Start the action. Don't let the star beast use lightning to fight."

"Got it."

"Got it."

"Got it."

The action began.

Countless drones equipped with energy cannons entered the barrier. The star beasts were quietly suspended in the center of the mental cage, motionless with their eyes closed, as if they were taking a nap.

During the deployment, Tan Baishan asked Shi Xing, "Your Highness, do you need to try not to damage the beast core?"

Without waiting for Chi Yao to answer, Shi Xing firmly said, "No, focus on hunting and kill, and fight quickly and decisively."

Chi Yao glanced at Shi Xing, and Tan Baishan was also stunned when he heard it.

Noticing the attention, Shi Xing explained, "Our deployment itself is not aimed at 3S-level mutants. The current preparations are hasty. If we still want to keep as many beast cores as possible, the risk is too great. I think it is safer to hunt high-level mutants only when we are sure."

Without certainty, considering the safety of all soldiers, strangulation is naturally the first goal.

Chi Yao nodded. He was not surprised that Shi Xing could say this.

Tan Baishan over there was following the procedure to inquire. He could guess Chi Yao's answer in his heart and did not expect Shi Xing to speak. When he suddenly heard such a clear cognition from Shi Xing, he was silent for a moment and replied with a good answer.

The drones were lined up.

Tan Wen ordered to fire.

The tentative energy cannon emitted a dazzling white light and fired at the star beast in the mental cage.

"Missed."

Chi Yao said before the attack was over.

The next moment, everyone saw the star beast disappear from its original position and appear in another part of the energy cage.

It used its space cutting ability to dodge.

Tricky, really tricky.

Newen reacted quickly, "Add more drones to encircle the star beast."

By changing the drone formation, the possible position of the star beast was predicted.

Several drones entered the mental cage again.

Prepared again, fired.

Missed.

Changed formation again, still missed.

On the contrary, the mental cage was the first to show a tendency to weaken because of the impact of the energy cannon.

The star beast was lazily in the air, and its dodging method was very energy-saving. It activated its ability to escape just before the energy cannon hit.

Chi Yao had a bad feeling.

In the snowy northern border, when no one noticed, the sky became darker, and the black clouds rolled silently, secretly accumulating charges in silence.

Chi Yao waved his hand to disperse the clouds twice, but the atmosphere was heavy. It could disperse the cumulus clouds on the surface, but it could not even manage the clouds that were more than a few meters above the sky.

Time passed, and the energy cannon had been used countless times, but only hit the star beast once or twice.

"He's too fast!" Tan Chi gritted his teeth.

It is fast. When the psychic cage is present, it is difficult for soldiers to fight. If the psychic cage does not exist, it is hard to say which one is faster, it or the battleship, in flexible combat.

At a certain moment, the star beast stood still and raised its head.

Tan Wen sensed the right moment to attack and ordered all drones to charge.

When all the energy was fired, Shi Xing felt that there was only a white light on his retina.

The star beast did not dodge. As the energy attacked its eyes, lightning flashed all over its body.

In a flash, Chi Yao realized something, and the sound waves carried by his mental power spread throughout the battlefield: "The warships outside the mental power cage retreat."

Halfway through his words, the star beast raised its neck, and the electric charge accumulated in the clouds boiled, followed by thunder and lightning that resounded throughout the world.

The star beast used its mental power to resist the energy cannon attack. At the same time, countless lightning flashes struck from the clouds, hitting the mental power cage like rain, and huge lightning flashes also exploded around the star beast. At some unknown moment, it resonated with the natural electric charge outside the mental power cage, acting on the mental power cage from inside and outside.

Being hit by lightning from both inside and outside, the mental power cage persisted for two seconds under the strong pressure difference, and then cracked within the sight range of Shi Xing.

"It's going to break."

Shi Xing had just finished speaking when his mental cage dissipated under the thunder and lightning that penetrated the heaven and earth.

Boom--

boom--

the lightning penetrated the mental cage and struck the ground, and the entire battlefield space was filled with free electric charges.

"Roar--" the star beast roared again.

The strongest layer of mental shielding was lifted, and the bright yellow eyes almost immediately looked in the direction of Shi Xing.

Shi Xing's hair stood on end when he was targeted, "He's looking for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the star beast flashed, and Shi Xing only felt that he was pushed away by a strong gust of wind.

"Fei Chu!" Chi Yao shouted.

Bang--

the star beast collided head-on with Chi Yao's mental barrier again.

Dust rolled on the ground, and the collision of energy blew out a deep pit.

Shi Xing was pulled onto the battleship by Fei Chu. Before he could stand firmly on the battleship's combat zone, the battleship's rapid retreat inertia made Shi Xing feel dizzy again.

Sure enough, in this kind of battle, the bodies of the Blue Star people would be more exhausted.

The ground collided and exploded, and at the critical moment when Chi Yao was determined to trap the star beast, the star beast disappeared again.

Chi Yao's pupils contracted.

The speed of the star beast increased again.

His mind immediately figured out the key point. The speed of the star beast entering the empire slowed down after being tired from running in the vacuum.

Damn, when they were discussing the plan, it was also the time for it to rest and recover its strength.

"Roar——"

Shi Xing was confused when he saw the pair of bright yellow eyes appear in front of him again.

Fast, too fast, he had never encountered such a breathless pursuit speed.

And this change relied on the star beast's mutation ability. Except for Chi Yao who turned around to chase, within a few tenths of a second, which was a reaction time beyond the limit of the human body, everyone on the battlefield had no time to act.

Dazzling lightning flashed around the star beast again.

The pair of bright yellow eyes stared at Shi Xing, and the violent mental power of the attack instantly spread throughout the world.

Impossible, the star beast that just used the space ability could not be so fast...

At the same moment when he had this consciousness, Shi Xing reacted abruptly - a fake move.

When the star beast just rushed towards Chi Yao, it did not use its full strength. The purpose was to separate him from Chi Yao.

All this happened within a second, or two.

The moment he figured it out, everything around him turned into a silent black and white screen in an instant.

Shi Xing's heartbeat also began to slow down, and the world seemed to have pressed the pause button in front of his eyes.

The confrontation of high-level mental power was urgent and fast. The soldiers and officers nearby saw it, but the warships a little further away had not yet reacted. The star beast changed direction and made a second leap in pursuit.

Chi Yao was still far away, and the speed of the wind was comparable to that of the star beast, but as long as the space cutting ability did not exceed that of the star beast, it would be impossible to catch up before the attack.

Fei Chu's mental knife was fully formed, and looking at the star beast chasing in front of him, he wanted to step forward and protect Shi Xing desperately.

Around him was Fei Chu's squad from the First Army, and also his squad, all of which were within the attack range of the star beast.

Behind him was a squad led by Tan Yan, who had rushed to support them as soon as they fled in this direction. He didn't know whether he should be thankful or sad, as they were all within the lightning attack range of the star beast.

After seeing the mental cage being broken, Shi Xing was very sure that this time the violent mental attack would not only cover his warship, but all the surrounding warships.

However, this was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was that Shi Xing felt a familiar breath.

He didn't know why he knew it, but he just knew it.

This time the attack was a charged attack composed of the conventional attack mental power, plus the violent mental power that could penetrate the spiritual sea.

If it was just a pure mental attack, the Imperials would at most be injured, but still have a chance of survival, given their physical qualities.

But if the mutant's violent mental power was added...

not only Fei Chu, but everyone on this battleship would suffer a severe blow to their mental sea.

He couldn't... just watch this happen.

He...

the black and white faded, and the world in front of him was painted with colors again.

Just when Fei Chu wanted to jump out of the battleship to fight the star beast in close combat, Shi Xing's hand firmly grasped his arm, and he didn't know where the strength came from, but he pulled him back and pulled him.

The next moment, a strange mental barrier extended from Shi Xing's palm, and instantly expanded to cover their battleship.

Fei Chu stared at the barrier with turbulent energy flows on it. It was a type of barrier he had never seen before.

Fei Chu felt familiar, and immediately remembered that when Shi Xing absorbed the star beast's mental power today, this kind of turbulence was also entangled on his body. This is...

"Back off!" Shi Xing said loudly.

The special barrier expanded in a square shape in an instant. Shi Xing pushed forward, and the barrier was easily formed, separating the battleships from the high-speed Star Beast.

At the same time, lightning surrounded the Star Beast, and it attacked with violent mental power, attacking them with the force of thunder.

Shi Xing heard Chi Yao calling his name in the distance.

Fei Chu missed the best opportunity to jump out, and used all his mental power to prop up the circular barrier, bringing Shi Xing into his protection range.

In the eyes of everyone, the Star Beast's mental power collided with Shi Xing's barrier.

The mental power penetrated the barrier directly...

Huh? ? !

Boom -

the Star Beast's mental power suddenly attacked and collided violently with the barrier opened by the Imperials themselves.

All the warships were blown away in an instant by this energy impact.

Fei Chu had experienced the pain of having his spiritual sea attacked. He stood in front of Shi Xing and was about to risk his life to protect Shi Xing when his spiritual power hit his barrier. However, he did not feel the familiar piercing feeling at all.

Fei Chu was stunned.

The intact spiritual sea felt the impact and burst out with potential again. Not only did Fei Chu's small barrier not break, but it thickened as the distance increased.

If Fei Chu could not detect what happened, he would have been an admiral in vain.

Turning his head back, the spiritual power barrier carrying the chaotic energy flow in the air was still there, but...

In Fei Chu's perception, the normal attacking spiritual power of the star beast passed through the barrier, but the violent spiritual power that could penetrate the spiritual sea did not.

They were firmly blocked and captured by the barrier, and at some unknown moment, they were annihilated on it.

The barrier of Shixing blocked the attack on the spiritual sea!
