Chapter 42 Explosion
In the middle of the night, the cool moonlight shone on the surface of Crescent Lake. The withered tree in the center swayed its branches, and ripples spread across the water. A dark shadow appeared below, as if something was lurking underwater.
It swam toward the shore, and the watchmen did not spot it.
It wasn't until someone noticed something was wrong and looked towards the lake that they saw the withered tree that had been in the middle of the water had actually reached the shore, the water was rippling, and a claw had emerged from underwater.
The night watchman immediately sounded the alarm.
"What happened?"
"Was there an attack?"
The others rushed out of the hall and immediately saw the strange phenomenon that had appeared at Crescent Lake.
The passenger woke up and quickly ran outside to check the situation.
"There's an alien species." Dang Hongyuan quickly ordered, "Sui Cheng, you and Long Zhan go and take a look."
Long Zhan is the captain of a small team and a direct subordinate of Dang Hongyuan.
"yes."
The two jumped off the observation deck and ran towards the lake.
Chen Jiang asked with some concern, "That thing looks huge. Will the captain be in danger?"
"Can you please shut your mouth?" Zhang Meng slapped him across the face and scolded, "What kind of strength does the captain have? How could he possibly be in danger!"
Dang Hongyuan arranged for people to turn on all the lights in the visitor center. Under the bright light, everyone was finally able to see the thing by the lake.
It had a turtle's back and a snake's head, with a tree on its back. Its body was huge, at least as tall as an adult. Its claws stepped into the water, creating waves half a meter high.
"It's a high-level species," Long Zhan reported into his headset.
Dang Hongyuan: "Can you and your passenger handle this?"
Long Zhan went to check on his attendant, and seeing that the attendant nodded slightly, he immediately replied, "Okay."
Dang Hongyuan: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Keep in touch."
Long Zhan: "Received!"
Long Zhan possesses a metal-based superpower. He carries a metal plate with him and can use his superpower to transform it into weapons of various shapes.
"We can't let it leave the water," the attendant said coldly.
Long Zhan nodded, indicating that he understood. Sui Cheng possessed ice-type abilities, and the water was his domain.
He charged straight forward, the metal sheet being severed by his supernatural power into several thin pieces, which then headed towards the advanced species.
"Its shell is very hard; we need to find its weakness."
"This thing looks a bit like the legendary Xuanwu." Long Zhan retrieved the metal piece and launched another attack.
The attendant wasn't idle either; he used "Frozen," freezing the hind limbs of the advanced species to the water's surface and restricting its movement.
He opened his hand, and a frost arrow condensed in his palm. With a forceful throw, it flew towards the advanced species, carrying with it icy mist.
Just when it thought it would hit, the advanced-level snake turned its head, opened its mouth towards the ice arrow, and spat out a mouthful of flames, turning the ice arrow and the ice beneath its feet into water.
"It's actually fire-based." Long Zhan found it unbelievable. This strange creature that lives in water actually has fire-based abilities. Wouldn't that clash with the power within his body?
"Looks like we can't use ice magic anymore." Sui Cheng put away his ice magic and said sharply, "Team Dragon, attack his head directly."
"good!"
With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the pitch-black night. It fell from the sky like a dragon or snake, striking the alien creature directly.
Taking advantage of its momentary lapse in attention, the metal shard in Long Zhan's hand, in a blur of motion, slashed countless bloody gashes across the alien's neck.
"Roar!" The alien creature, writhing in unbearable pain, roared, and flames shot straight into the sky, then transformed into countless fireballs that rained down.
They followed and fought the dragon, dodging and retreating in succession.
The ground was cratered and pitted by the fireball, and there was even a smell of burning.
"Bang"
"Bang bang."
The place where the fireball landed exploded like a bomb, and the smoke filled the air, obscuring the figures of Sui Cheng and Long Zhan.
The people in the stands could no longer see them. Dang Hongyuan, with a solemn expression, said, "Be ready to provide support at any time."
"Is it really necessary to have so many people for just one high-level species? Watch me." Zhong Qi felt confident again. This time, he jumped off the stands after getting Zhong Ling's permission in advance.
He seemed to ride the wind, and with a whoosh, he flew out. The people at the Huaxia base didn't even have time to stop him, and their faces were extremely grim.
As soon as the smoke cleared, a purple electric grid came into view. It turned out that Sui Cheng had used the electric grid to block the shock wave in time, which was why they were not injured, although they looked a bit dusty.
Sui Cheng caught a glimpse of Zhong Qi out of the corner of his eye, frowned slightly, and before he could say anything, the water beneath the alien exploded, and a snake tail lashed out, coincidentally hitting Zhong Qi right where it was.
Zhong Qi wasn't prepared at all when he was swatted by a tail. Although he dodged it, he was still drenched in blood.
"Thunderstorm!" He angrily punched the alien.
"Tsk." Long Zhan was very dissatisfied with the appearance of this kid.
"puff."
Countless bubbles of all sizes rose to the surface of the water, one of which enveloped Zhong Qi's fist. His attack seemed to be absorbed instantly, causing no damage whatsoever.
"This is impossible!" Zhong Qi quickly pulled his hand out, then threw another punch, but it was still absorbed.
Sui Cheng frowned, then exerted his ice-type ability again, and with a wave of his hand, the water bubbles were frozen.
"Team Dragon".
He shouted "Dragon Warrior!" and Dragon Warrior understood, immediately attacking the alien below the neck.
A huge black shadow appeared, and then, with lightning speed, it dodged the tail's attack while simultaneously shattering the frozen bubbles with a dense array of ice spikes.
"Zhong Qi, what are you doing standing there without doing anything?" the attendant coldly reminded him.
"Tch." Zhong Qi looked displeased, but still began attacking the alien species.
His wind elemental attack created a waterspout, which was then dispersed by the alien's tail.
"This is not a high-level species." Sui Cheng had already seen that this alien species had used two superpowers, and its huge size made it extremely difficult to deal with. It was very likely a super-powered species that had evolved again.
His headphones were on, and on full blast, so everyone could hear him.
Just as they were dealing with the alien species, Lu Zhi's voice came through the earpiece.
"As the captain said, its weak point is not its neck, but its abdomen."
The creature reacted quickly, splashing water that condensed into ice pillars, all heading towards the alien's abdomen.
The sound of "plop" was the sound of flesh being pierced.
Lu Zhi's voice continued: "When its abdomen is attacked, it will retract its tail to protect its weak point. The scales on its tail are very hard, so you cannot let the tail retract to its abdomen. Cut off the tail first, and then attack the abdomen directly."
"Um."
Seeing how much the attendant trusted the law, everyone couldn't help but look at him. Many people thought he looked unfamiliar and guessed that he must be a newcomer under the attendant's command, but this newcomer was quite capable!
Sui Cheng ordered Long Zhan to sever the alien's tail, but Zhong Qi beat him to it. His wind blades were sharp, and he finished off the tail in no time. After finishing, he raised his eyebrows arrogantly at Sui Cheng, as if showing off.
"Attack the abdomen with all your might." Long Zhan and his companion completely ignored Zhong Qi and kept trying to find ways to attack the alien species.
Enraged, Zhong Qi raised his hand and used the wind to create waves, flipping the alien over and delivering several heavy blows to its abdomen.
The alien's soft abdomen was throbbing incessantly, as if something inside was about to explode.
"Not good, retreat!"
"Bang!"
Before they could retreat, the alien's stomach exploded; this time it was a real explosion.
"I'll ride with you!"
