Ye Xiao protected Jiu Fanggui, while Chang Le and Qin Xian followed their squad leader into battle.
The cracks in the sky are still there, but no new alien species are descending. The most intense battle is between two enormous alien species.
At its core lies a low, cylindrical, fleshy mound, exceeding thirty meters in diameter, resembling a giant, fleshy-red tree stump. Its surface is covered with energy-reflecting fragments, and deep red textures intertwine and meander.
Connected by dozens of slender, resilient tentacles, its body is surrounded by three mirror-like special substances that rotate.
The tentacles and mirrors began to rotate, making it difficult to approach within a radius of 100 meters, centered on the core.
This thing has a complex and varied attack method. The three mirrors are objects with some kind of spatial attribute. One mirror can absorb attacks, one can reflect attacks, and one can attract attacks from the surrounding area.
Its unique ability rendered military attacks largely ineffective, and even trapping it resulted in significant losses.
Chang Le recognized this alien species.
Forbidden species – [Flesh Mother].
This extraterrestrial species has only appeared once in the history of the Cataclysmic Era, and this time, it suddenly appeared in more than seven places around the world, causing enormous casualties. It was only after later research that it was given the name "Flesh Mother".
The cultivation level of the fleshy mother in front of us is already infinitely close to the ninth realm.
In the history of mankind, there has never been a powerhouse beyond the ninth realm.
Ye Xiao has roughly just reached the threshold of the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.
Recalling the reason why the Flesh Mother was listed as a forbidden species, Chang Le turned to look at the battlefield.
Surrounding the flesh mother, a soldier in each of the four directions set up a new type of weapon, aimed at the flesh mother, and was ready to fire.
"Buzz—"
The surrounding energy is drawn in and gathered, compressed and stored within the weapon, and then suddenly launched!
"Boom boom boom boom—"
Four shots fired simultaneously!
Visible dark energy bombarded the area around the flesh mother. The three mirrors around the flesh mother spun rapidly, but failed to attract or absorb this energy. The area was enveloped by the destructive energy carried by the attack.
"We did it!" the squad leader shouted excitedly.
The military's experts swiftly delivered the finishing blow, and Ye Xiao leaped into the air, his fist gathering and drawing upon the thunder from the heavens before crashing down heavily!
Chang Le's breathing became labored.
The Flesh Mother, a variant species, possesses extremely powerful spatial abilities and energy resistance, but it is particularly vulnerable to dark energy. The four weapons developed by Jiu Fanggui were the precursors to the later "Yanluo" series of dark energy cannons.
The flesh mother cannot attract, deflect, or absorb dark attribute energy, and its combat power will be greatly reduced when surrounded by dark attribute energy.
The strategy of weakening the enemy with dark energy bombardment and then focusing fire for a strong attack is flawless.
However, if the Flesh Mother's abilities are limited to this, it will not be classified as a forbidden species.
A thunderous roar erupted, and a piercing, ear-piercing scream forced even Ye Xiao to retreat.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the three mirror-like objects were revealed to be shattered on the ground, with most of their dozens of tentacles broken off. The fleshy reddish-brown mound in the center was charred and mottled, trembling as if it were having a seizure, causing the rubble on the ground to shake violently. It seemed to be at its last gasp.
"Kill them all in one fell swoop!" an officer ordered, and the first to charge forward.
"Watch out—" Chang Le shouted a warning even though he was a little far away, seeing the cracks on the fleshy red round mound.
The change happened in an instant!
The wilted, fleshy-red mound suddenly tore in two, and a strange, fleshy-red tree sprang forth, its blood-red branches waving wildly. The mound rotted into mud, scattering in all directions.
Those who were too close to dodge were splashed with water and immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
Within seconds, his breathing had become faint!
A different species, the "Flesh Mother," where mother and child are one.
The mother plant absorbs light elements to nourish her offspring. Once the offspring mature, they absorb the mother plant to gain dark energy immunity.
If the offspring plant encounters danger before it matures, the mother plant will self-destruct, transforming into highly corrosive mincemeat to attack the enemy.
Once mature, the offspring's cultivation level may reach heights that are difficult for humans to attain, and they possess strong resistance to energy of all attributes. Once they unleash their slaughter, no one will be able to stop them.
This is the most dangerous part of the [Flesh Mother], and the reason it is listed as a forbidden species!
"You all step back!" Ye Xiao shouted, leaping forward.
A massive, deep purple array plate rose beneath the fleshy mother and her offspring plants, splitting into two. One plate rose above their heads, while the other fell to their feet. Crackling lightning connected the two array plates, trapping the offspring plants within them.
Chang Le swung his sword to kill the approaching alien species. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiu Fanggui quickly approach the Flesh Mother and toss a black stone the size of a button to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao took the stone without saying a word, crushed it, and dark energy, no weaker than the previous weapon, surged out, completely enveloping the plant.
The immature offspring did not devour the mother plant; they still feared the dark energy, their red branches flailing wildly and emitting a shrill, tooth-grinding scream.
Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Xiao clapped his hands together, and the two large array plates above and below converged towards the center with immense force and thunderous explosion. The seed plants within were crushed into a pulp little by little until they died completely.
Jiu Fanggui threw out a palm-sized robot, which burrowed into the fleshy mess on the ground without being corroded.
It pulled out a light golden core, about the size of two fists, from a pile of minced meat and handed it to Jiu Fanggui.
With the death of the Flesh Mother, the tide of the battle instantly turned, and a concentrated counterattack suppressed the alien species' frenzied offensive.
Jiu Fanggui looked up at the crack in the sky. After the flesh mother was killed, the crack shrank by one ring.
When the battle in the northeastern part of the city, where they were located, ended, it was almost 3 p.m.
The battle lasted for a full 12 hours. Almost everyone was exhausted and, ignoring the strange and colorful alien corpses scattered all over the ground, they sat down to rest.
