Chapter 692: Chapter 367 Escape (5-in-1)_6
At this moment, the alarm on the Level 3 Wind Shuttle suddenly blared piercingly.
"What’s happening?"
Su Ming and the others’ expressions changed slightly, and they all looked towards Captain Lum.
Captain Lum quickly checked the scanning device and immediately reported.
"A IV Type Elite Level Hive, Corrosion Fly, has been scanned, rapidly approaching us."
Su Ming and the others looked towards the distant ice layer.
They saw a giant flying insect over five hundred meters tall, with two antennae on its forehead, its body covered in gray spots, sharp insect claws, and four pairs of black insect wings, flying towards the ship.
"Is it coming for us?"
Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
"It shouldn’t be, right? The Wind Shuttle hasn’t disengaged its disguise mode; normally, they shouldn’t be able to detect us."
Captain Lum replied, very confused.
Su Ming looked at the incoming IV Type Elite Level Hive, Corrosion Fly, frowning, then spoke.
"Not necessarily, the Hive has strong detection capabilities, disguise colors might not work. Once it crosses the safety line, we must go out and take it down."
Everyone held their breath, staring at the insect.
It didn’t take long for the insect to approach the safety line.
"Let’s go, we’ll take it down."
Su Ming then spoke.
"Alright!"
Su Yuan and the others replied accordingly.
However, just as Su Ming and the others were about to board the mobile platform and head to the hangar, an unforeseeable change occurred!
Crack!
Black fleshy tendrils suddenly pierced up from beneath the ice, entangling the IV Type Elite Level Hive, Corrosion Fly.
In an instant, the Wind Shuttle’s scanning device issued another alert.
"Warning: High-intensity Kais biological reaction detected!"
"It’s Chilami!"
Su Ming recognized it immediately.
Su Yuan and the others were also startled, not expecting Chilami to be underneath the ice layer.
"Strange, isn’t Chilami afraid of low temperatures? Why would it be under the ice layer?"
"The temperature must be low enough; this level of cold is nothing to it."
Su Ming replied rationally.
At this moment, the Corrosion Fly opened its bloody mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, biting into the fleshy tendrils, while struggling wildly, tearing the black tendrils apart.
At this time, a large number of black fleshy tendrils pierced the ice surface and crazily wrapped around the Corrosion Fly. Simultaneously, some tendrils even penetrated the Corrosion Fly’s body, devouring its internal flesh.
The Corrosion Fly immediately emitted a pained insect cry, then unleashed a violent Pollack Beam, sweeping across.
Fleshy tendrils were cut apart.
The next second, the icy surface shattered in large pieces, countless tendrils stretched up, like wrapping a rice dumpling, directly and tightly binding the Corrosion Fly and forcibly dragging it down.
"No need to watch, the outcome is clear; that insect is doomed."
Su Ming looked at the scene and made a judgment.
"Yes!"
Su Yuan nodded in agreement.
Quickly, the entire icy surface calmed down; if nothing unexpected happened, that insect should have been devoured.
At this time, suddenly the entire icy surface emitted a large amount of smoke, and then the broad ice layer began to melt and disappear.
Su Ming and the others were startled immediately.
Soon after, a massive black figure emerged, with countless black cells wriggling on it, unusually disgusting.
"It’s the IV Type General Level Chilami!"
Su Yuan judged it at a glance.
"This guy is absorbing water!"
Su Ming said in surprise.
"It’s normal, this world’s water resources are so scarce largely because of Chilami. This creature is extremely disgusting, it absorbs a huge amount of water resources, leaving no drop behind wherever it goes."
Su Yuan explained to Su Ming.
"I see."
Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Su Ming suddenly realized.
At this moment, the cellular fleshy mass form of Chilami, after absorbing a large amount of water, began to contract its massive body in reverse, and the surface cells started to keratinize.
"This guy is transforming, if my guess is correct, it should be morphing into a Hive form."
Su Yuan said, frowning tightly.
Upon seeing this, Su Ming immediately said to everyone.
"We can’t leave it, this guy swallowed that insect, it might very well inherit its abilities. It is likely to discover us; leaving it be could easily cause problems, let’s go out and eliminate it."
"Okay!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yuan and the others responded upon hearing this.
They immediately headed towards the nearby mobile platform.
Soon after.
Su Ming and the others piloted the Mechas, rushing out from the Wind Shuttle’s exit.
"Concentrate fire attack!"
Su Ming ordered everyone.
"Understood!"
Su Yuan and the others turned their Particle Beam Cannons, firing beams at the IV Type General Level·Chilami.
At this moment, Chilami instantly deployed an AT Barrier.
Rumble~
Beams crashed against the AT Barrier and exploded.
The barrier distorted significantly, yet remained very resilient.
Seeing this, Su Ming piloted the Slaughter Blade to accelerate suddenly, charging forward as Chilami extended tentacles towards him.
Snap!
Su Ming lifted his left hand and swept with his Plasma Lightsaber, slicing through the tentacles as if they were made of paper.
In an instant, Su Ming closed in and swung his right-hand Plasma Lightsaber fiercely at the AT Barrier.
Boom!
The barrier shattered instantly.
At this point, Horton rushed up, stabbing his Particle Light Saber into Chilami’s semi-decomposed body. He then moved swiftly, creating a shocking cut, baring internal tissues.
Immediately after, Bain swung his Mechanical Hammer violently, launching it powerfully against Chilami.
Chilami then extended a super thick fleshy appendage, which instantly hardened, forming a keratinized shell, piercing towards the group like a spike.
Su Ming and the others deftly dodged the attack, swinging their weapons to sever the spikes.
Meanwhile, Parry piloted the Red Ghost Mecha, continuously firing beams at Chilami from afar. He also discreetly opened a launch port, tossing out a seemingly inconspicuous mechanical device.
Su Ming then shouted to everyone!
"Finish this quickly!"
"Understood!"
Su Yuan and the others attacked vigorously.
Su Ming immediately unleashed full power, piloting the Slaughter Blade forward, raising his Plasma Lightsaber to pierce through Chilami’s surface keratinized layer, driving directly into the interior.
Instantly, massive amounts of cells within Chilami’s inner flesh evaporated, releasing a special wailing sound as its life force hemorrhaged.
Not long after, its life force plummeted to an extreme, losing all mobility.
However, Su Ming and the others did not cease their assault, continuously swinging their weapons, hacking at its body until they thoroughly sliced it apart.
"Phew, done!"
"Damn, its life force is incredibly tenacious."
...
Su Yuan and the others grumbled.
"Alright, let’s return to the ship."
Su Ming spoke calmly.
"Okay!"
Everyone piloted their mechas back to base.
Shortly after, in the Wind Shuttle’s hangar.
Su Ming and his team secured their mechas in place, then opened the cockpits and jumped down one by one.
At this moment, Su Yuan silently walked over to Parry.
Parry looked slightly uneasy as he spoke. freēwēbnovel.com
"Su Yuan, what’s wrong?"
Su Yuan did not respond to Parry, instead swinging his fist to punch Parry’s face.
Parry fell to the ground directly, his nose started bleeding profusely.
"Su Yuan, what are you doing?"
Shadler and the others were stunned and quickly gathered around.
"Are you crazy? Why hit me?"
Parry got up and looked angrily at Su Yuan.
"You traitor, why did you do this to us? I treated you like a brother."
Su Yuan shouted furiously.
"Traitor? What’s going on?"
Horton and the others were shocked, disbelief written all over their faces.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Parry replied flustered.
"You still won’t admit it, huh? I saw you plant the signal transmitter."
Su Yuan angrily revealed.
"I..."
Upon hearing Su Yuan’s words, Parry’s face turned ashen, unable to utter a word.
"Damn it, the traitor is you, beat him to death!"
Horton was enraged upon hearing Su Yuan, delivering a heavy kick to Parry.
Parry crashed hard to the ground.
"Damn!"
Bain raised his fist, ready to pummel Parry.
"Stop, don’t hit anymore!"
Su Ming intervened, holding everyone back, speaking up.
"Su Ming, move aside, don’t stop me."
Horton was like an enraged lion, wishing to tear Parry apart.
"Don’t hit him anymore, we owe him thanks."
Su Ming said with a smile.
