Chapter 203
Just like before at Base 21, after arriving at the outskirts of Base 16, Ran Lie and Lang Ze took Zheng Xing off the spaceship and flew towards the battlefield of Base 16 on a flying saucer.
Li Sinian followed behind the cubs, his nerves no longer as tense as before.
The cubs have fully demonstrated their strength in the battles at Bases 26 and 21. Even he, a veteran of many battles, was moved by such magical abilities.
He couldn't help but feel excited when he imagined these children growing up and going to the front lines to fight interstellar monsters.
As the temporary guardian of several cubs, he was currently flying while contacting the person in charge of Base 16, hoping to obtain the latest news on the battlefield.
Although the children are very capable, the battlefield changes rapidly and they cannot rely solely on past experience.
However, he had just contacted the person in charge of Base 16 when he felt something was wrong.
"Ran Lie, Lang Ze, wait!"
He called out, but the two young men flying in front of him were only a body length away from him, but when he reached forward to grab their shoulders, he missed.
The surroundings were filled with red mist, but the three cubs had disappeared.
"Ran Lie! Langze!"
In mid-air, Langze, who was standing on the flying saucer, turned around and looked at Li Sinian behind him and asked, "Father Sinian, did you call me?"
The man smiled and shook his head.
Langze scratched his hair, looked away curiously, and then asked, "Xingxing, are you flying this way?"
"Yeah!" The little black cat nodded, "It's this way."
So he continued to fly in the direction indicated by the star.
The red-haired boy beside him also followed him with a faint smile on his face.
Suddenly, the wolf-eared boy flying in front suddenly accelerated and flew in the opposite direction.
His speed was so fast that it even exceeded the maximum speed of the flying saucer, and the two people behind him could not catch up with him.
"Langze, where are you going? Wait for us."
The red-haired boy shouted loudly, but in response, Langze took out the little black cat from his collar and threw it at him.
"You are not Lielie at all. Lielie wouldn't laugh like that!"
And the little black cat he threw out couldn't possibly be Xingxing - when Xingxing spoke with his own voice, his speech wouldn't be that fast!
After Langze roared, he stepped on the flying saucer and used the wind around him to increase his speed to the extreme - the blood talent belonging to the Night Wolf was awakening in him.
Behind him, the little black cat he threw out turned into a black and red blood mist in the middle of the journey. The man and the young man left behind no longer had smiles on their faces. They looked at each other with extreme coldness and cruelty in their eyes.
They did not chase Langze, but disappeared from the spot with a flash of their figures.
Ran Lie flew into the red mist and felt something strange.
He stopped subconsciously, and then he realized something was wrong - after leaving the spaceship, his flying saucer was taken over by Zhengxing, and it was impossible for him to stop at will like this during the flight.
So, something must have gone wrong!
The red-haired boy frowned and subconsciously released the golden shield, covering himself in it.
When the flames were released, the flying saucer under his feet turned into light smoke. However, Ran Lie did not fall down. He was suspended in the air, surrounded by a red mist in which no scenery could be seen.
"Langze—Xingxing—Uncle Li!"
Ran Lie shouted around, but received no response.
What on earth is going on? Is this a monster?
In the red mist, a huge eye opened and observed Ran Lie with a hint of interest in its eyes.
At this moment, a cluster of red flames appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards the huge eye.
However, the eye touched by the flame did not burn as Ran Lie imagined, but instead quickly went out.
This is a monster that is not afraid of red flames!
"Hahaha, interesting boy." A crazy voice sounded in the void, "Your flesh and blood must be quite delicious!"
Ran Lie gritted his teeth secretly, his usual composure gone.
Chi Yan is his greatest support. His undefeated record in recent days has given him immense confidence. After all, he is still a child in his early teens. It is unlikely that he would not feel complacent at all.
However, he didn't expect that just after arriving at Base 16, this monster he had never encountered before gave him a heavy blow, which made Ran Lie wake up from his pride.
Only then did he realize that apart from the red flame, he had almost nothing. Once the red flame lost its effect, he would be like a toothless tiger, completely helpless in the face of the monster.
What should I do now?
"Hahahaha, let me taste your flesh and blood!" The voice still echoed in his ears.
Ran Lie felt a little panic in his heart, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Before he became invincible, he had faced many desperate situations. The experiences of surviving the burning of red flames and the siege of giant spiders were his most precious treasures.
Through countless trials and tribulations, his character became extremely tough, and no matter how difficult the situation was, he would never despair.
Soon, Ran Lie thought of the key.
Su Su said that the red flame can burn all the filthy things in the world, which means that the things burned by the red flame must be tangible - just like the red flame can burn the body of a monster, but cannot directly burn the red mist.
And this huge eye cannot be burned, which means it is not a real entity!
The most likely reason why this eye was so real and terrifying to him was that the monster's attack had a direct effect on his mind! He was likely trapped in a very realistic illusion.
This monster kept saying it wanted to taste his flesh and blood, proving it did have a physical form, but its physical form was probably quite weak, so he could only control it through mental attacks...
Ran Lie frowned and thought for a moment, then he sat down cross-legged and took out his small wooden fish from his spirit storage bag.
The spiritual realm is his weak point. The only way to save himself now is to stick to his original intention and prevent the monster from hurting him spiritually!
“Knock—knock—knock—”
The crisp sound of wooden fish knocking rang out in the void, accompanied by the sound of a young man chanting the Heart Sutra.
As the sound of the wooden fish and the chanting of scriptures rang out, a faint golden glow appeared in the red aura shield around him, protecting him.
I have to say that Ran Lie's analysis is correct.
The giant eye in the void turned into a huge mouth, opened it wide and bit towards Ran Lie.
However, when its mouth touched the young man who was beating the wooden fish with his eyes closed, it suddenly disintegrated into a huge black and red blood mist, enveloping the young man, but unable to penetrate the golden shield at all.
"Damn little devil!"
The voice in the void roared angrily, but it could not affect Ran Lie who was meditating and chanting scriptures.
Finally, the voice could only roar in frustration, "Hmph! Wait until I eat your companions, devour their flesh and blood, and once my strength has greatly increased, I'll come and deal with you!"
The voice gradually faded away. In the space shrouded in mist, the red-haired boy sitting cross-legged was still quietly beating the wooden fish and concentrating on reciting the Buddhist cultivation method taught to him by Su Ci.
A radiant light flowed on the Qi shield, protecting the young man firmly inside and preventing him from being corroded by any filth.
After an unknown amount of time, the giant blood-red eye appeared in the void again.
It looked at Ran Lie with resentment, and never found an opportunity, so it finally slowly dissipated.
But no one knows whether it is really gone.
In mid-air, Langze stepped on the flying saucer and found that he had finally gotten rid of the unknown monster behind him. He slowly stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
But what about Xingxing and the others?
He turned on the communicator to contact Zheng Xing and Ran Lie, but after the call was made, no one answered for a long time.
What is going on?
Were Xingxing and the others captured by the monster? Or was he captured by the monster?
Langze scratched his hair and was about to control the flying saucer to fly out of the base to find the spaceship docked outside the base, but when he looked down, he found -
His UFO is gone!
Langze panicked and felt his body falling.
He fell from mid-air!
“Ahhhh—”
Langze waved his hands desperately. After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and kept adjusting his body in mid-air.
Countless parkour jumps have allowed him to accumulate rich experience. He can control the wind. As long as he reduces his falling speed and uses the power of the wind, he will not fall to his death!
Gusts of wind blew up from below, supporting the little wolf cub and slowing down his falling speed.
Finally, he lightly tapped his toes in the air and jumped into the air. When he touched the ground, he rolled on the ground to dissipate all the momentum and landed steadily!
"Yeah!"
He succeeded!
Langze cheered and was about to get up from the ground when a rude voice came from behind him, making him freeze.
"You bastard!"
This familiar nightmare-like shouting and cursing made the young man tremble all over just by listening to it, and he turned his head stiffly.
As he turned his head, the scene around him changed immediately.
This wasn't Base 16, but... a dirty, rusty iron cage, a dark and damp environment, where he had lived since he could remember.
This... this is...
Realizing something, Langze turned around in horror, only to hear the harsh sound of metal friction, a familiar sound that had accompanied him for countless days and nights.
He lowered his head and saw the mottled collar around his neck, connected to a thick iron chain tied to the wall.
That cold touch is so real...
Before he could figure out the current situation, a shadow came from the side. Langze subconsciously dodged, but the iron chain tied to him restricted his range of movement.
"Bang!"
The sturdy man kicked him hard in the stomach, kicking him out, and finally hitting the iron cage and sliding to the ground.
"You bastard! You're itching to get beaten if I don't spank you for a day, aren't you?"
The young boy curled up in the corner, holding his stomach. The real pain brought him back to the nightmare of the past. After recovering a little, he raised his head viciously. His pair of green eyes that were always full of vitality were now filled with bloody hostility.
"You're not dead!" He stared at the burly man, his eyes full of hatred.
"Ha, what are you dreaming about? I can't die even if you die." The strong man smiled grimly, waving an iron rod in his hand, and approached him step by step.
Dream……
The young man, who was tightly bound by iron chains, had a look of surprise on his face.
He lowered his head and realized that what he was wearing was not a cub's clothes at all. It was clearly the same filthy, smelly, tattered clothes he had worn for years. And his spirit storage bag... his flute was gone!
Su Su...Brother A Yan...and Xing Xing Yo Yo...Xiang Yang Little Pear Flower...
The figures shattered into powder before his eyes. The boy tried desperately to catch them, but found that he had grabbed nothing.
Could it be... were they all a dream of his?
"No! You lied to me! That couldn't have been a dream!"
The young man roared in grief and anger, his eyes turned into cold animal pupils, and animal hair grew on his face.
"You're a monster, I'm going to kill you!"
He struggled desperately, but the collar and chain, which he had never been able to break free of in his memory, bound him tightly, and he could not move even if he used all his strength.
"Kill me? With a bastard like you?" The strong man smiled coldly.
"I'm Langze, I have a name! I'm not a bastard!"
The young man stared at the burly man. This man was still as strong as he remembered, so strong that he seemed invincible.
He knew that the next moment, the man's iron rod would come down.
Those painful memories flooded over him like a tide, and his resistance gradually weakened. Could it be that all the beautiful things in the nursery were really just a dream?
Watching the iron rod coming down, the boy subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Meow!"
But at this moment, he heard a sharp cat cry.
Langze couldn't help but open his eyes. The iron rod in the man's hand did not fall down, because a little black cat jumped out from somewhere, landed on his shoulder, and bit his neck tightly.
"Star!"
The despair in Langze's eyes faded away, and he shouted in surprise.
It was the stars who came to save him! Everything in the nursery was not a dream at all!
However, the next moment, the little black cat that was biting the strong man's neck was grabbed by him and thrown to the ground.
The little black cat tried to get up from the ground with his limbs, but he couldn't get up.
"Lang...Ze..." It called him weakly.
The sturdy man covered the bloody hole on his neck and raised his foot to step on the little black cat.
"Asshole! Don't touch him!"
Langze struggled like crazy, more crazily than ever before. At a certain moment, he heard the sound of chains breaking, and the shackles that had been binding him tightly were finally loosened.
He rushed towards the strong man like a cannonball, knocked him away, picked up the little black cat on the ground, and held it tightly in his arms.
Langze half-knelt on the ground, holding the weak kitten in his arms, wanting to bear the man's beating for him, but he heard a soft, baby voice ringing in his ears.
"Langze, don't be afraid."
He was slightly startled, and opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that there was no iron cage or strong man around him. This was a space shrouded in red mist.
And there was no little black cat in his arms.
Langze was shocked, "Stars?!"
"I'm here."
Along with this soft and sticky childish voice, the little black cat landed lightly on his shoulder, and then it gently licked his cheek.
"Langze, everything is fine now."
