The monster in this Level 7 spiritual energy gathering ground was utterly baffled. Its detection instruments could clearly ascertain the combat power of the super Red Alert soldier before it, yet the power the latter unleashed far surpassed its readings. For a moment, it even wondered if its instruments were malfunctioning. However, it quickly realized that the soldier looked nothing like itself and clearly did not originate from the same planet. The soldier likely possessed technology or special abilities it was unaware of, rendering its detection instruments ineffective.
With this realization, it understood its predicament. If it were to endure the opponent's attack head-on, it would surely perish. Beyond its line of sight, it had already spotted tens of thousands of individuals identical to the one before it. If all of them were to attack with the same combat prowess, it would have no chance of resistance. In essence, the battle was over before it even began.
With this thought, it immediately spoke, "Hold your attack for now. We can talk this through. Killing me would only grant you some insignificant experience and a treasure chest with unknown contents. However, if we cooperate, combining our strengths, we might be able to leave this planet. I sense a peculiar energy within you that I lack, which is why neither of us gained an advantage in that last punch. With your current strength, you cannot leave this planet, nor can I. But if we work together, we might. I can use my technology to build a spaceship, helping you depart this planet. Furthermore, with your current status and strength, you have enough money to kill monsters of various levels. Accumulating sufficient funds to purchase the necessary materials will allow us to build a spaceship. Then, we can leave together, benefiting both of us with my technology and your abilities. Why engage in mutual destruction? We are both unfortunate souls transported to this planet by a terrifying power! Though our races differ, we are both victims and should empathize with each other."
Hearing the monster's words, Qin Feng chuckled dismissively. He said, "I have already completed the spaceship, but it cannot leave this planet. It's possible that the technology you possess is more advanced than my spaceship, but if it doesn't create an absolute generational gap, a qualitative leap, it still won't be able to leave this planet. If you were a monster from a Level 10 spiritual energy gathering ground, I might consider cooperating with you. But unfortunately, your level is too low. Your only use is to provide me with experience and treasures. In other words, you are only useful to me when you are dead; you are useless to me alive."
Upon hearing this, the monster scratched its head. It understood the implication of Qin Feng's words: a full-scale war was inevitable, and there was no hope for peace. It also meant that the individual before it had already built a spaceship but couldn't leave.
With this in mind, it hurriedly spoke again, "Even if the spaceship cannot leave, more people mean more strength. As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to obey your commands from now on. Isn't that more beneficial than killing me outright? Killing me would waste your energy and potentially cost you some soldiers. If you spare me, you gain a powerful helper, which benefits both of us. How about we cooperate? No... not cooperate, but I will serve you instead."
Hearing this, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I have no interest in cooperating with you. As I said, I need the experience and treasures that your death will bring me."
Upon hearing this, the monster realized it had no other recourse. It had to fight for its life. Angrily, it declared, "If that's the case, then I'll show you my true strength. Although I might die here, you will also pay a price. When you finally kill me, I will make you pay a heavy cost, at the very least making you waste immense power. My greatest asset is my defense. When I concentrate all my power on defense, it's not something that can be easily broken. Let's see if you have the ability to kill me, and ultimately, who suffers more!"
With that, the mecha-type monster rapidly focused all its power onto itself, activating a nearly perfect defense. A faint glow enveloped its mecha. Qin Feng had seen this situation once before, with the monster in the previous Level 7 spiritual energy gathering ground. That creature's defense and offense could be converted into each other. When converted to defense, it was indeed formidable. With his current strength, breaking through its defense would require significant effort. The monster's earlier words likely referred to this.
Seeing that this creature was not a mecha capable of freely converting offense and defense, but rather a mecha-type monster with only the single attribute of defense, its defensive capabilities appeared even more robust. Qin Feng would need to expend even more energy to breach such a defense. However, Qin Feng no longer needed to worry about such matters. If the opponent's characteristic was overwhelmingly offensive, he might have to sacrifice some super Red Alert soldiers to defeat it. But now, the ability it displayed was renowned for its defense, so he had no such concerns.
He had just acquired 3,000 powerful weapons that could increase his combat power by 20,000. With the support of his super Red Alert legions and formations that synchronized offense and defense, killing the monster before him was more than enough. Even if its defense doubled, he wouldn't be afraid; in fact, he was somewhat pleased. The energy consumed by those weapons could be replenished from the air, making them effectively infinite-attack weapons. His super Red Alert soldiers possessed exceptional recovery abilities, so they were unconcerned about expending some power.
With this thought, Qin Feng smiled. He said to the monster, "If you abandon your defense now, I can give you a quicker death. If you persist, you may suffer some pain. After all, your defense is too strong, and my attack cannot break through it in one go. Instead, it will slowly penetrate your mecha's interior, which will be more agonizing than being killed instantly. Have you thought it through?"
Hearing this, the mecha-type monster retorted dismissively, "I'd like to see how you can break through my defense. Even if you eventually succeed, the power you waste will be disproportionate to your gains. I still advise you to cooperate with me. If you attack blindly, you will be the one regretting it."
