Chapter 19
roar!
A deafening beast roar sounded, and a black shadow rushed out from the milky white liquid.
Before everyone could react, they were blown away by the powerful energy brought by the black shadow.
He Nuo quickly left the battlefield with the little dragon cub and stood at the edge of the pit, from where he could just see the entire face of the huge monster.
It's a star beast!
Wu Jian opened his eyes wide and observed the star beast. He found that this star beast had white fur and should not be the golden star beast.
He immediately noticed the crystal fragment embedded in the star beast's jaw and quickly poked He Nuo.
"Ah!" Look, the energy cube crystal!
He Nuo looked up and saw the energy cube crystal on the star beast's jaw, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Ira led his teammates out of the deep pit. Several of them were covered with milky white mucus, and their faces and bodies were partially melted. Fortunately, Dumes gave them healing agents in time to prevent their wounds from getting worse.
"The energy cube crystal is on the star beast." He Nuo said.
Ira frowned and said, "Now we're in trouble. The Energy Cube is fused with the Star Beast, so we have to remove it from the Star Beast. But this is the corrosive mucus on the Star Beast, which is very troublesome. If you get even a little bit of it on you, your body will melt. It's a bit tricky."
It is absorbing the energy of the energy crystal and transforming again.
It's very difficult to snatch the Energy Cube from it. Does anyone have any ideas?"
Others shook their heads.
Ira's gaze turned to He Nuo.
He Nuo wiped his broken gun, took out a crimson energy stone from the space and embedded it in the groove of the gun.
"There's a way, it might be a little risky."
"you say?"
He Nuo said: "The energy gun in my hand can injure the star beast, and then take the opportunity to seize the energy cube crystal. The prerequisite is that I need a human as a target to attract the star beast's attention, and then I will attack from the side..."
"Isn't it too risky? What if..."
Ira interrupted Dumes and said calmly, "We're running out of time. If we don't gather all the Energy Cubes in 24 hours, Training Ground No. 3 will be covered by a large number of laser cannons. Let's take a risk!"
Dumais was silent.
Being eaten by a star beast or being bombarded by a laser cannon is not a pleasant experience.
If we gather all the energy cube crystals, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Ira and Dumes discussed it and decided that Ira would take his teammates to attract the star beast's attention, while He Nuo would look for an opportunity to kill the star beast.
Wu Jian poked his head out from He Nuo's arms and howled twice.
"Oh." And me, and me.
He Nuo pushed Wu Jian's dragon head back.
"Stay still."
Ira nodded in agreement. "You're still injured, take good care of yourself. I'm not like Moss said, enslaving the cubs. We in the alien beast civilization are not without people!"
Wu Jian didn't get the chance, so he retracted his claws somewhat disappointedly and retreated back into He Nuo's arms.
He Nuo went from being uncomfortable to comfortable holding the little dragon cub, and barely got used to the little dragon cub nudging his chest from time to time.
However, his expression was still somewhat unnatural.
After taking a deep breath, he took the little dragon cub in his arms and went to find a hidden yet conspicuous position where he could kill the star beast.
Although the Star Beast can heal itself, reducing its power is enough to increase the chances of the friendly forces to seize the crystal.
Now they don't have to fight the star beasts to the death, they just need to get the energy cube.
In the early stages of the Star Beast's second degeneration, its abilities were still as young as they were, and it wasn't as dangerous as when it degenerated into adolescence. At this point, Ira and the others could barely manage to fight the Star Beast off.
The Star Beast was in the critical period of shedding its skin, but a group of small bedbugs kept harassing it. The Star Beast couldn't help but roar, as if trying to scare the bedbugs away.
However, as more bugs joined in, the star beast impatiently opened its bloodshot eyes, spit out its venomous snake tongue, and rolled up one of them, trying to swallow it. A fireball struck its eyes, and the intense burning sensation forced it to drop the food in its mouth.
"Attack its eyes!" Ila gave an order, and the others rushed towards the star beast's eyes.
The star beast roared.
It learned to be smart and knew that its eyes were its weakness, so it simply closed its eyes and swept its tongue around.
Little did it know that this action would give He Nuo, who was far away, a perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Bang!
A flash of red light passed by and directly blew off half of the star beast's head.
The star beast didn't even have time to let out a wail before it fell directly into the milky white liquid!
Ira was stunned for a moment, then excitedly instructed his teammates.
"Quick, get the crystal!"
Just as the others were about to step forward, the ground shook again, this time more than the last time.
The next tremor was even stronger, making it impossible for everyone to get close to the star beast.
Seeing this, Ila gritted his teeth, turned into a huge white tiger, stepped forward, leaped onto the star beast, and tried to snatch the crystal away.
At this time, his four paws were covered with milky white mucus and were melting.
Dumez asked worriedly on the shore: "Ira, how are you?"
The crystal was embedded in the star beast's throat. Ila used her sharp claws to try to cut the star beast's skin. When she was about to pull out the crystal, the star beast's wound healed quickly.
He tried various methods but still couldn't get the crystal off.
Ira frowned, feeling increasingly anxious, and heard Dumes' anxious voice in his ears.
"Ira, hurry up, the star beast's head is healing!"
After hearing this, Ila saw that the head of the star beast that had just been blown off by He Nuo was healing visibly, its claws were melting due to the erosion of the liquid, and the blood dyed the white tiger's mane red.
roar--
The star beast has awakened!
Dumes quickly transformed into a giant black wolf and pulled Ira back from the brink of death.
"fine?"
Ira shook his head and turned back into a human. His hands were melted by the liquid and the bones were almost visible.
Dumais tossed him the healing potion and patted his shoulder.
"It's okay, we can do it again."
After the star beast's head was blown off, it didn't want to transform anymore!
Ira and others succeeded in irritating it.
It has to deal with these little bugs first.
The angry star beast produced more and more milky white mucus, which gradually filled the deep pit and forced Ira and the others into the pit.
The two sides are at the point of extreme tension. If they lose, they will die.
Wu Jian observed the scene nervously.
I started to feel impatient.
But when he looked up and saw He Nuo's calm eyes, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.
Adjust your mindset again and watch the fight scene calmly.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard in my ears, and a red light came into view.
This time, He Nuo accurately blew off all the star beasts' heads.
He Nuo put the discarded energy gun into the space and said, "One last time!"
Everyone was startled.
This is their last hope!
But the milky white liquid has filled the entire deep pit. The star beast is trapped in this mucus, and if it wants to get through, it will have to endure the pain of its body dissolving!
"Oh!" Can't we find something to make a simple boat to get across?
Ira shook her head. "These have extremely corrosive slime that can melt even the most forged high-level mechas. Anything else that comes in contact with them will melt."
Wu Jian was just about to say that he could give it a try when the ground shook again.
In the liquid, transparent tentacles circled the star beast and pulled it down.
This scene attracted the attention of everyone present.
Plop!
The sound of an object falling into liquid brought everyone back to their senses.
"What fell just now?" Ira asked.
"It looks like a cub?" Dumez said unsurely.
At this moment, He Nuo jumped into the liquid so fast that even Ira and others didn't react.
Ira's face changed, "Help!"
Wherever there was water, the little dragon could swim freely. Soon he came to the bottom of a deep pit, where a huge star beast was very conspicuous.
The little dragon cub hid in the corner and observed for a while, and found that half of the star beast's head had not healed yet.
Unfortunately, the transparent tentacles that had just pulled the star beast down could not be seen in the liquid, and Wu Jian was not sure whether the tentacles were still there.
The energy cube crystal in the star beast's throat was glowing, and it also gave Wu Jian guidance, allowing him to swim to the side of the crystal.
Wu Jian tried to get the crystal down, but even Ira couldn't get it, let alone him, a little cub.
Suddenly, something poked his back.
Wu Jian suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, but there was nothing behind him.
In response to this, he did not relax, but became more alert, turning his head to look from time to time.
Wu Jian used all his strength to pry it open, but the crystal stone didn't budge at all.
He thought about how he was carried away from the crystal by a force when his teeth bit through the skin and flesh of the star beast.
Wu Jian was confused and struggled hard for a few times, but he did not let go of the things he was holding.
He turned his head and looked behind him, and found a golden star beast looking at him with its head tilted.
The thing that grabbed him also turned into a physical object. It was none other than the tentacles of the star beast.
The scholar Wu Jian, who had the tentacle of the golden-haired star beast, gently took the crystal from the throat of another white star beast, and the half-recovered head of the white-haired star beast stopped healing instantly.
The golden-haired star beast waved the crystal in front of Wu Jian twice and placed it in his arms.
【Mother? 】
Wu Jian was confused while holding the crystal?
What love
condition?
A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he remembered the first time he met the golden-haired star beast and heard its voice.
Could it be that the voice was calling for his mother?
It won’t mistake itself for its mother, right?
Just when he was wondering, the golden-haired beast made a sound of the same frequency as before.
【Mother! 】
Wu Jian, who heard it very clearly, felt a little complicated.
He entered the star beast egg and ran into a golden-haired star beast that was about to hatch, so it mistook it for its mother.
Help, I’m still a kid.
Wu Jian thought a little devastated.
He carefully pushed away the tentacles of the golden-haired star beast.
A hint of hurt flashed across the golden eyes of the golden-haired star beast, but it still obediently let go of Wu Jian and stepped aside.
Wu Jian was stunned to see that the star beast was so obedient. Are star beasts very human-like?
He wanted to communicate with Xing Beast, but Xing Beast only called him mother, and communication was not smooth.
Wu Jian tried to drive away the star beast again, and this time the star beast understood.
They left reluctantly, and before leaving, they did not forget to devour their own kind.
Wu Jian saw with his own eyes the scene of the star beast devouring its own kind, and white sweat broke out on his body.
The golden-haired star beast turned white, and its countless tentacles pulled the white-haired star beast into its mouth. Like a snake from the Blue Star Continent devouring its prey, it swallowed it whole. Then, its entire body turned transparent and disappeared from Wu Jian's sight.
