Chapter 225: Failure, Go Deeper
Jade, pay attention to your left! A group of Sulphuric Acid Bugs is quickly approaching. Get ready to intercept.
“Planet Eye, attack at will!
Su Bai’s voice was transmitted to his pets’ minds, and through the Planet Eye floating in the sky, he knew everything happening on the battlefield.
Following his order, the liquid metal sphere of Planet Eye first changed into a few thick muzzles, and then a round of particle shells shot out. Most of the Sulphuric Acid Bugs were blown to the ground and then directly exploded, corroding the ground due to the violent chemical reaction.
Planet Eye was very peculiar. After fusing with the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, its combat ability had become much stronger.
The consciousness of the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster could turn its body into various shapes and could also launch powerful skills, such as missiles and lasers.
It could also learn many skills of electric and metal attributes. Coupled with the supercomputing power of the Electromagnetic Satellite Monster itself, Planet Eye could completely innovate and release a variety of different skills. It was just like a huge war fortress.
The plasma cannon launched moments ago was actually a variant of the electric-attribute skill.
After a burst of fire, not many Sulphuric Acid Bugs left. Purple Jade could easily deal with the remaining ones.
Su Bai looked at the 100-meter liquid metal ball in the sky with a bit of surprise. He did not expect his unexpected actions to create the prototype of a war fortress.
It was only at the commander grade right now, and its true size was only five hundred meters in diameter when revealed, so its strength was not necessarily strong.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})However, when it evolved and absorbed more special metal in the future, even after it turned into a living planet, its deterring power would still be terrifying.
At that time, Su Bai would sit above Planet Eye. Coupled with Little Tyrant and Purple Jade, was the universe not at his beck and call?
With a battle star the size of a movable planet, Su Bai felt that no matter how dangerous and dark the sulfuric acid universe was, he could go for a stroll.
He forcibly suppressed these happy thoughts and concentrated on the battle in front of him.
This battle to seal the crack was much longer than they thought. Today was the tenth day that Su Bai had spent here. The outer periphery of this five-kilometer space crack had been cleaned up, and they were now at the last stage. Their group only needed to drive back the monsters into the space crack and then they could arrange a sealing device to seal it.
Su Bai’s biggest gain in the past ten days, except for the Planet Eye, was probably the Blue Sea Kraken. By continuously swallowing things, its strength had reached a high-level warlord. Its power was so strong it seemed about to evolve.
Just as everyone reduced the battlefield bit by bit, the ground began to vibrate, making them feel panicky.
Su Bai quickly shared his vision with Planet Eye, but he did not find any anomalies. He could only observe the extremely terrifying energy fluctuations erupting in the space cracks at the central area.
“Roar!” Ah Bai, a big boss is coming out! This battle is too difficult; let’s get ready to escape! The dino raised its head and looked at the central area before reporting his discovery to him.
The next moment, Professor Scorpio’s voice rang about. “Everyone, retreat! It’s expected that an emperor monster will come out soon.”
Hearing this, everyone retreated by several hundred meters with their pets.
The next moment, a silent roar stung everyone’s eardrums, and then a pillar of light burst into the sky from the central space crack, which was directly torn bigger.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The same was true in other areas within the Heavenly Abyss. Some terrifying beams of light directly tore through the space crack, and even the sealed ones were torn apart again.
Through his shared perception with Planet Eye, Su Bai saw a huge purple octopus with a diameter of more than two kilometers coming out of the central space crack.
The first thing that came out was its long tentacles with suction cups and then its entire body. It glanced at the world with a pair of dark green eyes and let out a silent subsonic roar.
Following this roar, an electric light burst out from its body as it ran into the distance.
At this time, Professor Scorpio dispatched a low-level emperor spirit, the Gem Eye, to attack the big purple octopus.
This emperor Gem Eye was very terrifying, especially because its mind attacks were unclear and were difficult to perceive.
At that moment, just when the Big Octopus and Gem Eye were inextricably entangled, the Scorpio, which had been ready for a sneak attack, suddenly appeared behind. Its two red and blue scorpion tails pierced the body of the Big Octopus at lightning speed.
There was another supersonic roar, and then the octopus’s body writhed in the extreme poison of ice and fire. Soon, the tissues in its body turned into liquid.
However, Professor Scorpio’s expression did not relax at all. Instead, he directly informed everyone through an Electromagnetic Satellite Monster, “Hurry up and retreat to the camp! Prepare to evacuate. The development of the matter has exceeded our predictions.”
Su Bai and the others did not hesitate when they heard this. They all turned around and left quickly.
“F*ck! What’s the situation?” On the way to retreat, Lu Shuang leaned over.
“It seems like there’s a high probability that the octopus is only the first. There’ll probably be monsters no lower than emperor grade coming out soon.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Liu Yong said with a palpitating heart, “Sigh. I wonder if it’ll turn into the same situation as a hundred years ago? I don’t want the order to collapse again, but the situation seems to be getting worse and worse.”
“Fortunately, we’ve developed after more than a hundred years, so there should be a way to deal with it. Faced with these monsters a hundred years ago, we could only wait for our deaths.
“Now, we have so many Pet Tamers. Technology has also advanced to such a degree. Dealing with those monsters should not be a problem. It might just be that the Pet Alliance and other countries haven’t reacted yet.” Feng Ming shook his head. He felt that order would not collapse. After all, they had been continuously improving for over ten decades.
“Let’s just leave quickly.” Su Bai did not comment on their guesses. He shook his head and left on Planet Eye.
In fact, he did not agree with Feng Ming’s words. One hundred years ago, people were able to triumph because mankind had no power and only death awaited if they left Blue Planet.
Now, many people and forces already had the ability to take care of themselves. If what had happened more than a hundred years ago happened again, it would be hard to predict the outcome.
Once there were other options, it would be harder to make people work together than to reach the sky.
Just as everyone withdrew to the camp, which was located a few kilometers away, another noise came from within the space crack, and three Big Octopuses emerged. All of them exuded a terrifying emperor aura, which was no weaker than the one that had just died.
“Sigh. It looks like our action will end in failure.”
Seeing this, Liu Yong sighed.
They had never encountered an emperor monster in their previous battles because the deep seal had not been lifted, and the emperor monsters could not come out.
It was like a piece of cloth with a small hole in it. Small fish could come out, but big fish could not.
At this moment, the appearance of these emperor monsters meant that a big hole had been made in the cloth, so the big fishes could finally come out.
If they took one step further, the whole piece of cloth would be shattered, and they would be dead meat.
Professor Scorpio obviously also recognized this problem. He let Scorpio and the few other monsters next to him attract the attention of the three octopuses. Seizing the time, he threw a silver-white metal ball down.
The metal ball fell to the place where the space crack was and exploded, forming a chaotic space storm. The space crack was torn apart and turned into a deadly chaotic mass.
There was no sharper knife than space, and the chaotic crack was an invisible meat grinder formed by space.
“Roar~” “Hiss!”
As the space storm spread, countless terrible roars, screeches, and hisses came from its depths. Abundant blood splashed out of the space storm.
Temporarily solving the matter of the space crack, their professor turned around to deal with the three emperor monsters.
“Look, what did I tell you? Professor Scorpio actually had Space Wind prepared. This shows that these situations have been predicted by the Spirit Alliance,” Feng Ming said.
The Space Wind was one of the strategic weapons of the Pet Alliance. It could directly cause chaos and instability in a space crack. Generally speaking, the emperor monsters would also find it difficult to escape from this kind of space crack.
Alas, this thing was a symptom rather than a permanent cure, and the space cracks would eventually stabilize. It was just like putting a cup of boiling water into half a cup of cold water. After a long time, the water would still be cold.
With this kind of thing, it could only be said to be a delaying strategy, and it was not meant to solve the crisis completely.
The three Big Octopuses could not withstand the professor’s bombardment and were eventually beheaded.
“Everyone, stay in the camp first. Wait for the Alliance’s further orders.” Professor Scorpio flew back with his pet and said this to everyone.
Su Bai and the others could stay put in the camp.
Can we leave this place? asked the cub once they were inside the tent.
“Roar!” I want to leave this place, too. It’s too cold here! Little Tyrant hugged its body and exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
“I don’t know, but it should be almost done.” Su Bai nodded.
Little Tyrant was on the verge of evolution. If not for the environmental impact of tens of degrees below zero in the abyss, it would have evolved in an instant and might have even reached the monarch grade.
However, letting it settle for a while was also good.
This time, he had gained a lot of merit points by hunting monsters. After returning to exchange materials, the strength of his pets could be raised to a new level again.
Especially Pipi Kraken, it could immediately form combat strength. Afterward, he would have one more trump card available.
If the Ice Phoenix had not left, he would have had more trump cards.
Of course, what he lost on the swings, he gained on the roundabouts. The future of Planet Eye was much more promising than Ice Phoenix.
About half an hour later, Professor Scorpio asked the students to pack up as they would leave Heavenly Abyss tomorrow morning.
In addition, he issued a special mission, and it was to enter Heavenly Abyss through some mini passages to check the situation.
There were no requirements for the mission. As long as they participated, they would obtain an emperor monster’s crystal nucleus with their chosen attributes.
There were no restrictions on this task, so they would not be forced to do anything. They only had to go down and investigate the situation inside. No matter how many materials they obtained, they would have rewards and receive support upon their return.
“I’m going to participate in this mission.” Su Bai told the pets after thinking about it.
Of course, he was not participating for the sake of the mission. He wanted to go in and get to the bottom of the matter.
Although Heavenly Abyss was dangerous, it was not full of horror. He knew this very well.
The most important thing was that he wanted to find a place where no one was around so that he could use the attribute light balls to improve the strength of his pets.
After careful consideration, he felt that the depths of Heavenly Abyss were definitely the ideal place for his objective.
Wherever the aura and laws were strong, it meant that there were more attribute light balls. Therefore, it would be more convenient for him to take action in such a place.
“Howl!” Since you have decided, I’ll naturally follow! The cub nodded.
“Roar~” As long as it’s not as cold in our destination, I don’t really care~ Little Tyrant said, too.
The pets almost always unconditionally abided by his decisions.
He would often explain his decisions to them as well.
Su Bai packed everything and went up to Professor Scorpio’s side. Before leaving, he did not notify Lu Shuang and the others. Even on Chen Ruoxue’s end, he just said that he had to perform a task and would not go back for the time being.
When he came over, there were already a dozen people on Professor Scorpio’s side, but his arrival surprised the man.
They already knew that he had become Yulong Gymnasium’s core disciple. He should not be short of resources, but he still chose to take the risk, which was really hard to understand.
However, the professor did not say much.
What surprised Su Bai was that he saw Lu Shuang in the dormitory with him.
Lu Shuang also looked at him in surprise. The two nodded in greeting and did not move to talk to each other.
When it was time to begin, he said, “You can choose to leave now. If not, just sign the electronic task list on your mobile phone, with both your fingerprints and pupil identification.
“You have to fill in the information about the emperor monster’s crystal nucleus after signing, and it will be sent to you when the mission is over. ”
In the end, three people chose to quit, and a total of eight people were left.
Professor Scorpio released a flying pet and set off with the eight people. On the way, he said, “This mission has a very high degree of freedom. There are no restrictions on whether you want to form a team or act alone. It’s all up to your preferences.
“In a while, I will send you to the entrance of the space crack. The rest is up to you. What we can guarantee is that the space crack you enter will never cause problems and won’t be overrun by monsters.”
Everyone nodded, indicating their understanding.
After a round of discussions with others, they decided to form a team.
Su Bai stood still and stayed motionless, thinking about his own affairs.
“Hey, do you want to be together? It’s better to have support with more people,” Lu Shuang came over and asked.
“No, I want to act alone.” He shook his head and rejected him.
“Okay, then.” The other helplessly spread his hands and returned to the team.
The original eight people were suddenly divided into two groups. Su Bai was alone, and the other seven were in one group.
The seven people did not ridicule him or say anything. They just treated him as air.
In a short while, they arrived at their destination. It was a cat-eye-shaped mini space crack about a hundred meters in diameter.
When Su Bai and the others came over, there were already some people present, and a camp was built nearby. The cracks had been patched, so at least no monsters could come out.
“What other materials do you need? You can get them here; they are all free. I’ll go inside half an hour from now,” Professor Scorpio said.
Everyone’s interest was piqued upon hearing that all of the stuff here was free. In line with the principle of free prostitution, everyone went in and took some.
Su Bai took some canned spiritual fruit and meat, and then he waited for his turn to go in.
He was looking forward to what the other of Heavenly Abyss’s space crack was like.
“Okay. Everyone, get ready to go in and be careful!”
When the time came, Professor Scorpio took them to the edge of the space crack.
Their group first used their Internal Breath skill, then they opened a shield for themselves and simultaneously activated their Night Vision skills.
They rode their pets and went in one after another.
Su Bai stepped on the body of Planet Eye and slowly entered the space crack, brimming with curiosity about everything that might be seen inside.
