Not only humans hold grudges, but star beasts do too. Seeing that a human had killed so many of their companions, the star beast horde began to swarm towards Xu Nian.
Fortunately, the base's protective shield was right behind her. Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Nian took a few steps back and returned to the protective shield.
The approaching star beasts were kept out by the protective shield. They bared their teeth and claws, staring at Xu Nian with bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes that would surely terrify most people.
Xu Nian looked at the group of star beasts attached to the protective shield, stood inside the shield, and swung his axe horizontally.
The star beasts were chopped in half on the spot, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
With no vital signs, the star beast's corpse, which had been lying on the protective shield, fell inside.
The energy core of the star beast was absorbed on the spot by the protective shield and turned into the energy supply for the protective shield.
Seeing such a miraculous scene, Xu Nian was very impressed with the inventor of the protective shield.
Soldiers can freely enter and exit the protective shield while wearing combat uniforms, but the shield can automatically identify the star beasts and keep them out.
This intelligent protective shield is truly a great invention that benefits mankind.
The creatures that attacked the base on the first day were all low-level star beasts, the highest being only level five.
But their sheer numbers were overwhelming; tens of thousands of star beasts were enough to make any star warrior tremble with fear just standing there and letting them hack and slash.
They fought from dawn till dusk, until everyone was numb from the fighting.
Truckloads of star beast corpses were hauled away from the edge of the protective shield, but the star beast hordes outside the shield continued to pour in.
Looking at the endless star beasts and then at her exhausted companions around her, Xu Nian pursed her lips and persevered.
At midnight, the replacement galactic warriors arrived, and Instructor Su Xin ordered the team to retreat and rest.
Upon hearing that they could go back to rest, everyone relaxed, feeling relieved and wanting to collapse into bed on the spot.
In order to be able to reinforce the battlefield as quickly as possible, everyone rested not far from the protective shield.
After eating the food that had been prepared in advance, they all climbed into their hovercars to sleep.
With a comfortable temperature, a soft mattress, a tired mind, and an exhausted body, Xu Nian quickly drifted off to sleep to soothing music.
The next morning, Xu Nian, who had only slept for seven hours, got up and made the most of his time to cultivate.
Xu Nian ate something and got off the hovercar around noon after cultivating.
Seeing that everyone had assembled, Instructor Su Xin was pleased and encouraged everyone to come back alive. Then she led ten people back into the battlefield.
Xu Nian brandished his axe and moved along the edge of the protective shield, killing wave after wave of star beasts, but there was still another batch.
Moreover, today's star beast horde was much higher-level than yesterday's. At least Xu Nian didn't see any second or third-level star beasts appear. On the contrary, she saw sixth-level star beasts.
As she killed a sixth-tier star beast, Xu Nian noticed a seventh-tier star beast staring intently at her.
Xu Nian was very familiar with that look in her eyes; it was a look of hatred.
Xu Nian gave the seventh-tier star beast the middle finger, and watched it suddenly enrage and trample the surrounding star beasts to death. Xu Nian chuckled.
Seeing that this human didn't take it seriously at all, the seventh-tier star beast angrily pushed aside the surrounding lower-tier star beasts and charged towards Xu Nian with a fierce aura.
It rushed to the edge of the protective shield, and its dark red tentacles began to lash out at the shield.
The protective shield rippled as it was struck, appearing thin but remaining completely unmoved by the attack of the seventh-tier star beast.
Xu Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately swung his axe to chop at the tentacles of the seventh-tier star beast.
The seventh-tier star beast wasn't stupid either. When it saw Xu Nian swinging his axe at it, it immediately retracted its tentacles.
As soon as Xu Nian put away his axe, it immediately began to attack the protective shield again.
When Xu Nian tried to cut it, it immediately retracted its tentacles and moved several meters away from the protective shield.
Xu Nian raised an eyebrow in surprise at the intelligence of the seventh-tier star beast, but she did not chase after it. Instead, she stood at the edge of the protective shield and began to slaughter other low-level star beasts.
Seeing this human slaughtering his companions again, the seventh-tier star beast was so enraged that its tentacles flew wildly. Forgetting about luring the human out, it waved its tentacles, ready to fight Xu Nian to the death.
It wanted to fight to the death, but Xu Nian refused to fight back.
Seeing its helpless and menacing appearance on the protective shield, Xu Nian gave it a disdainful smile.
The seventh-tier star beast became even angrier. Its entire body began to emit a light blue glow, and its tentacles frantically slapped against the protective shield, causing the shield to shake like jelly.
He was so irrational that he didn't care even when Xu Nian chopped off several of his tentacles with an axe.
Its eyes radiated overwhelming killing intent; it had only one thought: to kill the weak human in front of it.
Xu Nian's lips curled into a triumphant smile. Her star power surged throughout her body, and she pushed her speed to the limit. Wielding her axe, she was like a streak of light, circling the seventh-tier star beast several times in just a few breaths.
"Eek!" The seventh-tier star beast let out a miserable howl. It looked at its body cracking inch by inch, and its eyes still held a light of disbelief before it died.
"Phew!" Xu Nian wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had successfully killed a seventh-tier star beast.
It seems that there are some benefits to attacking Fu Yue whenever there's a reason.
Sure enough, her movement speed has increased to a level she never dared to imagine before.
"Niannian, get out of the way!" Fu Yue's shout made Xu Nian's heart skip a beat, and she almost instinctively rolled to the ground.
She didn't see until she had rolled several meters away that a black, diamond-shaped limb was stuck where she had just been standing.
The diamond-shaped limb was segmented, with fresh blood dripping from it.
Xu Nian's pupils contracted; it could actually penetrate the protective shield and directly attack the galactic warriors inside.
Seeing the rhomboid limbs change angle and attack her, Xu Nian didn't have time to think and swung her axe to block.
With a "clang," the diamond-shaped limb struck the axe, numbing Xu Nian's hand.
With just one strike, Xu Nian knew she was no match for her and had to escape, but... all around her were galactic warriors fighting to protect the base.
They are not as strong as her, and if she starts to run away, they will inevitably be implicated.
Xu Nian bit her lip, her heart hardening.
It's just the rhomboid limb of an eighth-tier star beast, not an eighth-tier star beast standing in front of her. What does she have to be afraid of?
If she could just cut those diamond-shaped limbs into pieces, she might survive.
After figuring it out, Xu Nian, with a death wish, began to fight the rhomboid limbs.
The sounds of "clanging" and "banging" rang out continuously within a few seconds. After several exchanges with the rhomboid limbs, Xu Nian's hands, which were gripping the axe, were numb from the shock.
Her hands trembled, but the determination in her eyes never wavered.
Fu Yue was entangled by an eighth-tier star beast and couldn't get away to save Xu Nian for the time being.
Seeing Xu Nian's terrible situation, he became so anxious that his eyes turned red.
