Mou Xuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, quickly sweeping across the surging tide of alien creatures in front of him.
Their shapes are varied. Some are like giant insects, covered with dark green shells, with the ends of their limbs flashing with cold metallic light; some are like flowing colloid, with their bodies constantly wriggling and deforming, with countless slender tentacles extending from them; what's more, their bodies are covered with eyeballs emitting faint green light, and every movement is chilling.
"Keep the formation! Don't be distracted by them!" Mou Xuan's voice was as steady as a rock, instantly calming the somewhat panicked minds of the team members.
He knew very well that facing such an unknown and large number of enemies, once their formation was broken up and they had to fight on their own, a devastating blow would be waiting for them.
"Expert Xiao, can you analyze the weaknesses of these things?" Mou Xuan tilted his head, his eyes still fixed on the group of monsters slowly approaching in front of him.
Expert Xiao Shikong's face was pale at this moment, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He adjusted his glasses which had slipped down, and his fingers moved rapidly on the portable analyzer. Complex data streams kept jumping on the screen.
"Captain, preliminary analysis shows that these creatures are extremely sensitive to space-time energy! The green light around their bodies seems to be a phenomenon of unstable space-time energy dissipation. Moreover, their movement pattern... seems to be related to the space-time fluctuations generated when we activated the communicator just now!"
Mou Xuan raised his eyebrows and immediately grasped the key point: "You mean, they were attracted by the communication signal, or in other words, our behavior activated them?"
"It's very likely!" Xiao, the time-space expert, said hurriedly, "More importantly, their attack method may also be related to manipulating small-scale space-time distortions! Be careful of their sudden acceleration or close-range space tearing!"
"Sensitive to space-time energy..." A gleam of light flashed in Mou Xuan's eyes, and a bold plan instantly formed in his mind.
He turned to Feng, the space-time resource collector, and said, "Old Feng, how much of the 'void crystal dust' you collected before is left? That kind of energy has a strong repulsive and disruptive effect on the normal space-time structure!"
Feng, the space-time resource collector, was startled when he heard this, but then he reacted. He showed a trace of pain on his face, but more of a decisive look: "Captain, there is still enough time to use the powerful interference field once! This is a treasure at the bottom of the box. I wanted to keep it for stabilizing the space-time rift at a critical moment!"
"Now is the critical moment!" Mou Xuan said firmly, "Listen to my orders! Feng Spacetime Resource Collector, prepare to release Void Crystal Dust immediately to create a strong spacetime interference field covering the fan-shaped area in front of us! The goal is to disrupt their perception and attack rhythm!"
"Yes!" Space-time resource collector Feng no longer hesitated and carefully took out a handful of powder sparkling with colorful light from a special container.
"Defender Peng!" Mou Xuan turned to the team member in charge of defense, "You lead two team members to form the first line of defense with energy shields. You must withstand their first wave of attacks and buy time for Lao Feng!"
"Understood!" Defender Peng roared, and the huge alloy shield slammed to the ground with a dull sound. The two team members quickly moved closer, and the energy shield was instantly activated, forming a barrier with a flowing blue halo.
"Exploration team member Tao, you lead the rest of the attackers. After the interference field takes effect, look for opportunities to focus on attacking those individuals with larger bodies and abnormal energy fluctuations! Communications expert Li, protect the communications equipment and be ready to send our coordinates and encounters to the base at any time!"
"Got it!" Everyone responded in unison and began to act in a tense and orderly manner.
At this moment, the monsters in the front seemed to lose their patience, let out a sharp and piercing hiss, and suddenly accelerated and rushed over!
Their twisted limbs made harsh friction sounds on the ground. The dark green light suddenly became brighter, and the stench in the air became stronger.
"Here it comes!" Defender Peng shouted, and the energy shield glowed brightly in an instant.
Almost at the same time, Feng the space-time resource collector threw the void crystal dust in his hand forward!
“Buzz——!”
An invisible ripple quickly spread towards the group of monsters with Feng Shikong's resource collector as the center.
Visible to the naked eye, the space ahead began to distort slightly, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.
Those crystal dusts sparkling with colorful light danced in the air, releasing an indescribable repulsive force field.
The monsters in the front rushed into the interference field. The dark green light emitted from their bodies immediately became chaotic, flashing wildly like light bulbs with poor contact.
Their movements also became sluggish and strange, and some even began to spin in place, as if they had lost their direction, emitting angry and confused roars from their mouths.
The energy glow on the surfaces of some monsters that tried to condense energy for attacking became extremely unstable, and they all failed after several attempts at condensation. Some smaller monsters even let out mournful cries due to the backlash of energy, and their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into a pool of smelly green liquid.
"It works!" Expert Xiao Shikong shouted in surprise.
"Now! Attack!" Mou Xuan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and was the first to raise the Gauss rifle in his hand. A dazzling blue energy beam accurately shot at a huge monster with a single horn on its head.
"Puff!" The energy beam instantly pierced through the monster's horn, and green blood spurted out.
The monster let out a deafening roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Upon seeing this, the morale of the Tao expedition team members was boosted and they opened fire with the energy weapons in their hands.
For a moment, energy beams of various colors crisscrossed in the distorted interference field, interweaving with the flickering green light on the monsters, forming a bizarre yet extremely dangerous battlefield picture.
