CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 284: HUNTING AND KILLING THE EXOTIC BEAST

"Si Sa!"

As soon as they entered the captain’s room, an energy array immediately rose up, completely isolating the aura, making it undetectable from the outside.

Wang Xu glanced around; in the room, apart from the eight members of the Loren Squad, there were also three other different teams, each wearing different styles of mechanical warriors.

"Si Sa, the second strongest in our Loren Squad," the captain introduced.

"Black Teeth Squad, I’m the captain, Fu Wu," spoke a tall red figure, with two pairs of fleshy wings the size of arms behind him.

"Rain Flame Squad, Ancient Tomb," said a short, lean alien, his back hunched, with narrow eyes emitting a different kind of light.

"Zhi Jia Squad, I’m Kelin Luo," the last one to introduce was the only female captain among the three squads, her slender form wrapped in a thin layer of mechanical warriors, her eyes reflecting a charming allure.

Wang Xu nodded slightly as a form of greeting.

"From Ancient Tomb’s intelligence analysis, there is an exotic beast wandering in the CG256 area, at an advanced War Venerable realm, but to be safe, let’s define it as a special War Venerable," the captain said. "The exotic beast has the ability to traverse the void to escape. If we want to kill it, we must prevent it from having any chance to flee. So my plan is to set up void traps in four directions."

"Ancient Tomb, you lead the Rain Flame Squad to intercept from the east."

"Kelin Luo, you’ll intercept from the west. I am aware you have a treasure that can cause space lag."

"The remaining Black Teeth Squad and our Loren Squad will engage the beast in close combat. Remember, the beast’s body technique is very peculiar. If it suddenly disappears before you, don’t panic. Everyone should immediately regroup to fend off its attack."

The captain laid out the plan in one breath. He was the strongest among the four squad captains, with abundant battlefield experience and extensive research on exotic beasts. Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing him.

"Alright, since there are no other objections, let’s go back and prepare. Gather at the war camp within three days."

Everyone dispersed to start preparations, and Wang Xu also returned to his room to begin cultivation.

As for the exotic beast, no matter how strong the outside world claims it to be, as long as its strength hasn’t reached the War God level, it’s not a problem in Wang Xu’s eyes.

......

Three days later.

"Black Teeth Squad, seven people."

"Rain Flame Squad, eleven people."

"Zhi Jia Squad, eight people."

"Loren Squad, nine people."

After counting the numbers, the captain nodded, "Let’s go!"

Riding the Space-Time Whale, the four independent squads, totaling thirty-five people, set off with tense faces towards the CG256 area.

The journey would take nearly half a year, and many dangers would be encountered along the way, so no one dared to rest easily. Most entered a state of cultivation.

But inevitably, the others showed signs of worry, except Wang Xu, who looked calm and composed, without any sense of battlefield awareness.

In the mixed cosmos space.

"Wang Xu, tell me more about your interesting experiences in the cosmos." At the Wang family’s villa, Wang Xu in a black robe sat on the sofa with Tang Yan, with clouds covering the sun and a gentle breeze blowing; everything was so peaceful and serene.

The humans on Earth, including Wang Xu’s family, had no idea that the world had changed long before they knew it.

Every time Wang Xu was free, he would switch consciousness to his main self and then enter Earth to spend time with his family, enjoying warm days.

Every minute and second of this rare tranquility was cherished by Wang Xu.

"Alright, I’ll tell you about my adventures in the Thousandfold Divine Country." All external information, Wang Xu hid carefully, and all the thrilling life-and-death moments were turned into fascinating stories in his few leisurely words.

Suddenly, Wang Xu’s figure paused, apologizing with a smile, "Tang Yan, someone is looking for me. I have to leave for a while and will come back to accompany you later."

"Okay," Tang Yan nodded with a smile.

His consciousness returned to his deity-like body, Wang Xu opened his eyes, hearing everyone’s low exclamations.

"The exotic beast is over there!"

"It’s definitely the exotic beast. Stow the Space-Time Whale and hide quickly."

"It’s resting and hasn’t discovered us yet. We can launch a lightning attack and kill it by surprise!"

Wang Xu’s gaze fell on a lifeless star in the distance, a star the same size as Earth, with a massive, black-scaled body hanging from it. It had six large sharp horns on its head, and its enormous tail drifted aimlessly, an immense aura radiating from it.

Stowing the Space-Time Whale, they communicated their plans. Shortly, the four independent squads dispersed, setting traps around this exotic beast between the stars.

A moment later.

"Rain Flame side is all set."

"Zhi Jia, no issue."

The voices of the two captains came through the communication device.

The captain nodded, "Alright, Black Teeth, get ready. Our Loren Squad will go first to wake it, and you immediately flank it from another direction!"

"Understood!" replied Fu Wu, the captain of the Black Teeth Squad.

"Loren Squad, let’s go!" The captain led the way, taking the lead toward the star where the exotic beast was located.

As the vanguard team, every member of the Loren Squad was tense. This was not an ordinary mission from the past that could be completed easily; now they were facing an exotic beast, and any mistake could be fatal!

After flying forward for a long time, everyone halted on a star closest to the exotic beast.

"Prepare the energy cannons, aim at the beast’s neck. That’s its weakest spot, and its only vital point."

The captain gave the order. Immediately, eight energy cannons were set up, adjusted for focus, and aimed at the beast’s neck.

The captain waved his hand.

"Fire!"

In an instant, eight white spheres of light shot out into the sky, rapidly approaching the beast at the speed of light.

From this star to the one where the beast was, even at the speed of light, it would take nearly ten seconds.

The spheres of light blazed through the void, every gaze focused intently, and everyone’s heart was in their throat, nerves on edge.

"Boom!"

"Roar—"

The spheres of light accurately hit the beast’s neck, a powerful explosion causing its blood to spatter, its massive body shuddering violently, thundering in fury, howling at the sky.

"Now, go!"

With the captain’s command, all eight team members summoned their own war soldiers. Wang Xu wielded a long spear, the exclusive war soldier of Si Sa.

Ferocious flames erupted, the law of fire raged, while surging waves of water engulfed the space, the law of water clashing, dazzling golden light piercing directly at the beast, the law of gold displayed its might...

In an instant, the sky was filled with radiant light, colorful and resplendent, as waves of attacks imbued with vast power bombarded the beast.

"Roar!"

The beast roared in anger, swinging its claw that could almost cover half a star.

Rumble~ Golden light shone, spaces in the void shattered, the beast actually managed to fend off the formidable attack of the eight team members with its own strength!

"Spread out! Follow the plan!" the captain communicated.

Everyone nodded, then the eight team members spread out in eight directions, each approaching the beast with maximum speed.

"Fu Wu, it’s time for the Black Teeth Squad to strike!" the captain contacted Fu Wu, executing the plan.

"Got it!"

The members of the Black Teeth Squad, unable to wait any longer, flew out from another direction, their overwhelming assault enshrouding the beast.

Faced with sixteen war venerable level warriors, no matter how powerful it was, the beast could not withstand them head-on.

Whoosh!

The beast flicked its tail, swimming through the void, its body crouching in the void and suddenly fading away.

The beast was traversing the void!

"Regroup!" the captain called out.

With high coordination, the team members quickly gathered, eyes on every direction, keenly aware of any anomaly.

"Here it is!" A shout came from the Black Teeth Squad members, as the beast’s massive form suddenly appeared, its enormous claw wrapped in terrifying power, slamming fiercely towards them.

But the members had already regrouped, forming an energy defense array together, completely neutralizing the beast’s strike power.

"Attack!"

Successfully defending against the beast’s attack, all the team members rushed forward, a dense barrage of attacks enveloping the beast.

The beast let out a furious howl, its whole body of black scales trembling, once again vanishing from sight.

"Such tough flesh!" All the team members gritted their teeth.

A wave of fierce attacks landed, the beast’s flesh only mildly damaged, nowhere near touching its core.

The beast’s defense was too strong, such a body was practically comparable to war god level.

The numerous team members regrouped again, constantly watching their surroundings.

Suddenly, Yiluna’s eyes sharpened, exclaiming, "The beast is here!"

As her voice echoed, the beast’s massive body appeared right in front of her, its gigantic shadow enveloping the nine members of the Loren Squad, appearing like insignificant sesame seeds in front of it.

"Defend!" Without needing the captain’s command, all the team members quickly formed an energy defense array.

The beast’s claw crashed down angrily, directly impacting their array, making it tremble and flicker, on the brink of collapse.

"Damn it, it’s using full power!" The captain’s expression changed, "Quickly, the energy array won’t hold, disperse!"

Upon hearing this loud shout, Wang Xu and the others quickly parted, the energy array instantly breaking apart.

That was close!

Everyone was unsettled. If they had been even a moment slower, the beast’s claw would have landed directly on them, and that terrifying force would surely have taken their lives!

"Yiluna!" suddenly, the captain let out a heart-wrenching shout.

Wang Xu looked up, only to see Yiluna just barely escaping, when the beast’s other claw rose again, falling in the direction where Yiluna was! (To be continued.
