Chapter 415 Dark Energy
There was still a tingling sensation of slight electric arc on Mo Xiaotian's fingertips, but his nostrils were filled with a salty and rotten smell. He staggered and propped himself up, but his palms did not sink into the carriage floor as expected, but into some sticky and cold particles. Each grain of sand was oozing black and red mucus, like crushed rotten internal organs.
“Where is this?”
The trembling voice was swallowed up by the sound of the waves. He looked up and saw that the whole beach was a sickly gray-blue color, as if it had been soaked in formalin. What was piled up at the tide line was not shells, but densely packed gum-like bone fragments and a large amount of accumulated garbage, which collided with each other with the waves and made a giggling sound.
His head was dizzy and he tried to struggle to stand up. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver.
For a moment, strange, fearful, and doubtful emotions kept growing in my heart. It was strange. I was clearly practicing my supernatural powers in the warm carriage just now, so how could I suddenly appear outside?
Crash——
At this moment, the sea water in front suddenly surged like boiling water. Mo Xiaotian took two steps back and stepped on a soft object. He looked down and saw a swollen giant corpse. Countless fluorescent sea lice emerged from under the festering skin, and their needle-sized compound eyes were turning towards him. Mo Xiaotian was startled and quickly moved away, but found that farther away, where the sea level should have been, there was a hill-like blue arc of light. The sea water split into waterfalls and slid down the smooth surface. It seemed that something was slowly rising from under the sea surface.
“Woo woo.”
A strange humming sound came from the bottom of the sea, and the air trembled. The arc of light continued to rise, revealing an umbrella-like translucent body. It turned out to be a jellyfish with a diameter of hundreds of meters. The edge of the umbrella was rolling, and there seemed to be some kind of luminous tissue in the middle, emitting a blue light. It looked magnificent, but upon closer inspection, it was found that there were black lines flowing inside, similar to the blood vessels in the human brain. Twelve tentacles broke out of the water, floating and rolling in the air.
This scene was like an alien creature breaking out of the sea in an amazing world. Some kind of praise echoed on the sea surface, making everyone who saw the giant jellyfish feel sacred and terrified at this moment. Their consciousness fell like a landslide. Mo Xiaotian's eyes widened and his face was pale. Even though he clenched his teeth, a lot of black bloodshot began to spread in his eyes.
Fear of alienation!
At the same time, the huge fluorescent jellyfish slowly approached, and its cold light illuminated the entire beach. Its huge tentacles rolled down like a snake and swung towards Mo Xiaotian.
Just when Mo Xiaotian felt the sound of the sea tide in his ears gradually fading away and becoming more and more empty, a sharp shout suddenly came from the sky.
"Xiaotian, don't look!"
Bang!
Several sharp sounds of breaking through the air instantly exploded above the beach. Lin Xian, wearing a power armor, flew over at high speed. He raised his hand and made a move towards Mo Xiaotian. In an instant, the Black Star Forge opened, and several nano devices sprayed out, flying directly to Mo Xiaotian and surrounding him. In a flash, a suit of outer armor wrapped up the cold Mo Xiaotian, the life support system started, and a feeling of warmth came.
Before he could react, the power armor had already activated its automatic cruise system and took him out. He was then wrapped in an invisible mental wave. KIKI and Lin Xian worked together, and Shizhi also immediately activated her supernatural powers. The healing light quickly cleared the dark toxins from Mo Xiaotian's body. He finally caught his breath and took a deep breath inside the power armor.
"Brother Lin, Sister KIKI, I...I didn't mean it..."
"It's okay, adjust your mindset and concentrate first, this might be a special-level one!" KIKI responded immediately.
"I am here!"
At the same time, a streak of fire streaked across the night sky like a meteor. Lu Xingchen
"What strange thing in the sea? Wait for me to burn the sky and boil the sea!"
Lu Xingchen's voice, accompanied by explosive flames, tore through the fog. A red figure swooped down from midair. The flaming wings spread out behind him dragged a kilometer-long stream of fire in the night. The plasma streams gushing from the joints of the power armor evaporated the fog within a hundred meters into a spiral vacuum belt. The usually playful middle school student now had bloodshot eyes, but the corners of his mouth were grinning in an almost ferocious arc. It was obvious that the anger under his tense nerves had begun to erupt.
"God·Infinite Burning Sword!"
boom!
In an instant, a pillar of white fire like magma burst out from Lu Xingchen's palm, infinite rings spun wildly, blue fire gushed out, and this red flame sword with a violent Mach ring instantly and accurately hit the front umbrella of the jellyfish in the air. In an instant, a white biological force field appeared transparently, but it was pierced by Lu Xingchen's furious full-strength attack in an instant. When the fire sword swept past, the transparent umbrella edge suddenly curled up and burst, and the rotten flesh and blood carbonized into black snow in the high temperature of 3,000 degrees. A teeth-grinding scream came from the boiling steam on the sea surface, and the luminous tissue in the center of the umbrella suddenly shrank, revealing a huge mouth covered with spiral patterns.
Beep beep.
On Lin Xian's side, the detector had already made a bang, and both teams on the beach were marked with level 4, which meant that the fluorescent jellyfish in front of them was at least level A or above or had reached the special level!
The moment the mark took effect, the air seemed to freeze for a second.
From the ruins of the city in the distance, there was a rustling sound, like countless tiny claws scraping across concrete, or like rotten metal being slowly twisted by invisible hands. In the darkness, the glass curtain wall of a high-rise building suddenly burst, and fragments fell like rain, but no footsteps could be heard, only the dripping sound of some sticky liquid spreading from the depths of the alley.
On the sea surface, the rhythm of the waves changed, the regular sound of the tide was disrupted, and a dull vibration came from underwater, as if a huge body was turning over in the abyss. The bones on the beach began to vibrate at a high frequency, as if resonating with some low-frequency sound waves. Black and red mucus seeped out from between the sand grains, gathered into a stream, and crawled strangely upstream towards the sea.
On the holographic interface of Lin Xian's power armor, dense red dots suddenly appeared on the edge of the radar. There was no shape, no outline, only pulse signals representing life reactions surrounding him from all directions. Sharp wails of metal deformation came from the tunnel of the abandoned highway on the east side. In the reefs near the tide line on the west side, the sea water suddenly receded, revealing the rock walls that had been gnawed into a honeycomb shape. In the thick fog of the urban area in the north, a street lamp that had been cut off from power suddenly flickered twice. At the moment the bulb exploded, a shrill scream like a baby crying came from the fog, and then it stopped abruptly.
"Level 4 mark... Trouble is coming!" KIKI felt strong fluctuations of soul value coming from all directions. Before seeing any living creatures, everyone felt that the world was becoming darker and darker. It was a sign that the concentration of darkness was increasing. At the same time, a suffocating breath was pressing down.
"KIKI, Abai, let's attack together and end this quickly!"
Lin Xian noticed this and said decisively that the monster was on the sea, and there was only Abai here. He and KIKI were psychics who could attack quickly and remotely.
"good!"
Abai responded immediately. His special armor allowed him to fly directly in the air. His eyes turned into black and red beams of light that shot out from the laser eyes of the power armor. The two laser beams tore through the night sky at the moment his pupils focused, like the sword of judgment piercing through the translucent umbrella cap of a jellyfish.
At the same time, KIKI operated her flying blade device to open the gate. Thousands of VK electric knives turned into a dense torrent of blades under the control of telekinesis. Each blade flashed with electric arcs and lightning, turning into a vast galaxy flowing in the sky. Her eyes flashed with supernatural light as she controlled these electric knives. The violent telekinesis instantly made these blades break through the speed of sound and rush towards the giant jellyfish.
In an instant, Huo Ge, Abai, and KIKI all took action, and the biological force field on the fluorescent jellyfish was instantly shattered.
Boom!
At this moment, when the fluorescent jellyfish's tissues were falling apart and being smashed, the luminous tissues under the umbrella suddenly burst out with a violent light wave and vibrated. In an instant, Lu Xingchen's flame froze in the air for a second, and Abai and KIKI's superpowers also seemed to stagnate for a moment. At this moment, everyone seemed to hear an abnormal humming sound from the cooling system of their power armor, as if cold fingers were crawling into the reactor along the pipeline. The oxygen circulating in the armor was suddenly mixed with a fishy smell, and a layer of frost formed on the inside of the mask. The pattern composed of frost flowers looked like a distorted human face.
This was a type of attack that Lin Xian had never encountered before, and it instantly made him realize that it was extremely dangerous, because not long ago, he had felt the fluctuations from the mysterious container that weakened people's supernatural functions, which was definitely not a good sign.
So, Lin Xian looked at the huge mouthpart covered with spiral patterns that should be exposed by the jellyfish without hesitation. He immediately raised his hand and pointed, aiming at the mouthpart and launching the gravitational lens directly!
Buzz!
A spatial humming sound was heard, and all the sounds on the beach seemed to stop instantly, becoming as quiet as before.
The sky and the earth changed color, and the azure fluorescent light instantly distorted. Everyone felt that the light of the fluorescent jellyfish in front of them dimmed immediately, and a distorted space formed in the huge mouthparts under the jellyfish, like a vortex of black water in the air. The azure fluorescent edge of the jellyfish's core turned into a curved light at this time.
In the twisted space, darkness was rapidly disintegrating and reorganizing, as if smoke was being swallowed by a spiral. In the twisted space ripples, an orange-yellow scene once again appeared intermittently in Lin Xian's sight.
Lin Xian looked at this scene and couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
That was the sunrise over the sea!
The picture was intermittent, constantly covered by darkness, and constantly "erased" by the gravitational lens!
Bang bang bang!
As the light from the 'daytime' world shone through the distorted space, the distorted space seemed to have an extremely powerful attraction, instantly beginning to crush the mouthparts and core of the fluorescent jellyfish.
boom!
In a flash, Lin Xian, Huo Ge, KIKI, and Abai all stopped at the same time. Under the huge attack, this huge special creature was torn into pieces. Countless jellyfish tissues emitting blue light kept falling down, creating huge waves on the sea surface. The fluorescent jellyfish made a low humming sound, and several tentacles were still rolling rapidly.
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
Lin Xian frowned. The core of the jellyfish was already a hole, and the edge of the umbrella was almost cut into pieces by KIKI, Abai, and Huoge. At this time, only a remnant of the fluorescent jellyfish was left, still rolling in the air, and there was no sign of falling.
"Captain Lin, a strange creature is approaching!" Ning Jing's team all came over at this time, and everyone leaned against each other in the air, fully alert to the coastline and the direction of the city behind.
"We're in trouble!" Lin Xian gritted his teeth. Their attack just now could be said to be in a flash. Although this monster was very threatening, it would not be unsolvable even if Lin Xian and his team attacked with all their strength. The trouble was that if the level 4 mark on their bodies could not be removed, what they would have to face next might not just be a special level monster.
Looking at the sea level that began to shake violently, KIKI immediately said to Brother Huo
"Brother Huo, burn it to ashes!"
"Of course!" Brother Huo swung his fist, flames surged, and he was immediately ready to launch a large-scale burning attack.
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out, interrupting Brother Huo's attack. A short-haired girl was seen holding a mechanical sword and flying directly in the air at high speed without the help of any power armor device. An invisible shock wave burst out from her body, shining brightly, making her whole body seem to be filled with twisted heat waves. It turned out to be Vanessa!
When Lin Xian saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but focus, because at this moment he sensed an extremely familiar power fluctuation from Vanessa.
Corpse chaser!
Before, when Lin Xian and Chu Yan were communicating with the corpse chaser, he clearly felt the fluctuation of this dark energy, and at this time, he noticed it again on Vanessa.
The power armor's photoelectric lock locked onto Vanessa, who was flying at high speed in the air on the strange energy fluctuations. Lin Xian seemed to have captured a tiny detail. Dark red lines similar to blood vessels appeared on the exposed skin of Vanessa's hands. The surging peak of supernatural power burst out, and then in the next moment, the girl, holding a mechanical sword, swept across the air towards the remains of the fluorescent jellyfish!
Wow!
In an instant, there was an explosion like a meteorite tearing the air above the beach. Everyone saw that Vanessa's mechanical sword turned red as it was swung at high speed. At the same time, a dark red shock energy swept out like dark particles, cutting out hundreds of meters of energy and breaking through the air, like a windshield wiper sweeping across a fan, instantly annihilating the crumbling body of the fluorescent jellyfish and cutting it into pieces all over the sky!
On Lin Xian's side, Xiaoqing, Ning Jing, KIKI, Abai and others were all looking at this scene in great shock. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but in addition to the violent slashing that chopped the jellyfish's remains into pieces, Lin Xian seemed to find that as the dark particles swept through, the azure energy on the fluorescent jellyfish's remains was immediately devoured and exploded into black mist. The transparent jellyfish corpses also quickly condensed and deteriorated into pieces of white humus tissue, which had completely lost their activity at first glance.
Boom boom boom!
A large number of body parts fell into the sea. At this time, KIKI and others found that the level 4 marks on their bodies had been completely cleared.
"She's so powerful, did she use the power of the so-called crystal lattice?"
"It must be." Ning Jing said seriously: "Her strength has at least doubled compared to yesterday, and she has also mastered a power beyond evolution. That is definitely not something that a genetic evolver can release."
Xiaoqing watched it with a cautious look. As a combat genius, she naturally noticed that Vanessa was unusual. Yesterday, she took action to deal with a split-tailed man. At that time, she didn't feel how big the difference was between Vanessa and her. She even thought that her strength must be above that of the other party. But now the combat power displayed by Vanessa was simply terrifying, which made Xiaoqing begin to think about the extension of the lattice power.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Lin Xian's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at the red dot on the radar that began to move blindly, and immediately said
"Don't discuss this for now, keep silent, and get back to the car!"
"Wait a moment." The other Geddi raised her right arm, and the mechanical gate on it opened. A special small missile was raised, and then she immediately launched the missile towards a stadium in the distance.
"Enemy attractant?" Lin Xian asked.
"That's right." Geddie nodded.
"Okay." Lin Xian heard this and without further ado, he immediately called on everyone to retreat towards the orbital station.
On the way of retreat, looking from the air, many slowly moving strange outlines appeared in the outline of the streets below. Everyone kept flying at low altitude and quickly returned to the orbital station with Mo Xiaotian. After returning to Infinity, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle was fought in a flash. In less than three minutes, they killed a special-level creature, cleared the level 4 mark, and retreated into silence again from the siege of the dark monster tide. It was extremely thrilling.
Inside the carriage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Yuzhen excitedly hugged Mo Xiaotian back and said, "Xiaotian, how are you?"
After taking off his armor, Mo Xiaotian shook his head and said to Brother Huo, "Master... I was practicing arc conduction, and I don't know why..."
"Shut up!" Brother Huo looked down at him with a serious expression, a little scared, "Since you caused such trouble, I will punish you to do six hours of physical training, and you are not allowed to rest!"
"Okay..." Mo Xiaotian curled his lips.
Lin Xian looked at Vanessa who had returned with the team and saw the dark red lines on her body gradually receding, and asked.
"Is this the power of the lattice?"
"That's right." Vanessa turned her head to look at Lin Xian. Her eyes, which were emitting black and red ripples, gradually regained their calmness. Her brown pupils were a bit cunning as she said to Lin Xian, "The crystal lattice not only improves the peak power, but the most important thing is that it can absorb and release dark energy. This dark energy can quickly destroy the vitality of the strange body, which is faster than the physical and physiological destruction speed."
"Faster? Could it be faster than I can burn it into pieces?" Lu Xingchen was a little skeptical. The girl's previous slash really surprised him, but he still said unyieldingly.
Vanessa looked at him calmly, "Your fire power is definitely better than mine in terms of destructive power, but if you want to quickly destroy the life force of dark creatures, believe me, dark power surpasses all known supernatural powers."
"I can indeed feel that the monster's vitality will soon be cut off." KIKI also nodded at this time and said: "Is this An Neng so powerful? You can kill a special-level monster with just one sword?"
“Not that great.”
At this time, Gaddy looked at Lin Xian and the others and said, "Captain Lin and the others' powerful attacks have reduced this monster to a wreck in a short period of time. Vanessa's attack was mainly to quickly remove the dark mark. If it were normal, it would be very difficult for us to encounter this monster, except during the day. Now it's dark, and it's marked. We can't kill it in a short time. Most of the time we have to fight it back and then retreat, killing low-level weird bodies along the way to remove the mark."
"Yes."
Vanessa said modestly: "However, this at least gives me a better chance of survival than without the lattice. I can face it head-on."
"How is it?" She looked at Lin Xian with a smile on her face, "Swordsman, are you interested in the lattice?"
Lin Xian nodded: "I have always been interested."
"Then my previous suggestion..."
"Where is your Haituan?" Lin Xian asked directly.
"It's not far from Haiyan Island, maybe a few dozen nautical miles." Vanessa said.
"Ship?" Chen Sixuan asked.
"No." Gaddi looked at everyone and said, "Our shelter is very simple..."
"It's just an aircraft carrier."
