Chapter 355: Chapter 221 Cosmic Pirates, Mysterious Person (4000 words)
Three days later.
The lush green oasis in the desert had been completely engulfed by the radiance of various types of energy; the vegetation within the oasis was destroyed by the raging energy, igniting towering flames.
"Boom!!"
A brilliant blue atomic beam shot straight into the sky, while purple blade lights descended like a storm, crushing everything below. Over a dozen Monkey Avatars wielded golden sticks, stirring the oasis into chaotic upheaval.
At the epicenter of the energy explosion, several giant centipedes shrieked miserably. As time passed, the energy light waned, and the giant centipedes collapsed helplessly to the ground, their armor shattered, barely clinging to life.
Above, a dragon-shaped snail flapped its wings, floating with its colossal snail shell in tow.
Inside the space, Qin Shou stared at the virtual display. Witnessing the battle conclude, he promptly ordered the Synthetic Monsters to return to the System Space.
These giant centipedes were already the third wave.
Their arrival seemed to carry a particular purpose.
As for what that purpose might be, Qin Shou was still unsure, but he knew it wouldn’t be anything good.
He might have been targeted!
He had only just arrived on Monster Planet—who would be targeting him?
The Demonic Group?
The weakling Carey?
Leng Xinlan?
Qin Shou rubbed his temples. He had offended quite a few people recently. How could he possibly guess who had their sights set on him?
Being in the dark while the enemy lurks in the shadows—this feeling was truly insufferable.
Still, he could confirm one thing: the mastermind behind this lacked absolute confidence in taking him down, which was why they sent so many monsters to probe...
Wait... Probe?
Qin Shou seemed to figure something out. A sharp glint flickered in his eyes.
He clicked on the communicator and connected to Galatron.
"Scan the surrounding mechanical devices."
"Respected Master, initiating system scan..."
"Beep... Scan complete. Earth communication equipment detected seven kilometers away."
"The device has unknown protective systems. Attempting to bypass..."
"Beep... Bypass successful. The device originates from Earth’s Mechanical Main City."
Qin Shou’s expression showed surprise—it was him!
...
Flying over a desolate desert, the scenery transformed into a series of ghastly pale mountain ranges.
In this barren land, massive beast skeletons scattered the valleys, forming eerie, terrifying clusters of White Bone Mountains.
Unknown, grotesque Insect Beasts frequently crawled out from the crevices of the White Bone Mountains, ambushing passing birds and animals and dragging them back into the depths of the bones.
The air here was permeated with a biting chill, with oppressive black clouds drifting even in the high sky. Occasionally, lightning struck, making the mere sight of it intimidating.
Big Guy’s flight slowed as they reached this area, trembling incessantly, their two massive eyes filled with terror.
So scary!
I want to go home...
A swarm of Gold-Eating Insects emerged from Snail Space, delivering clusters of Earth Core Energy Crystals to Big Guy.
Big Guy devoured the Earth Core Energy Crystals in one gulp, their large eyes on their antennae narrowing slightly as they swayed.
No need to be afraid now...
"Boom..."
With a tremendous flap of their massive wings, Big Guy, now replenished, accelerated significantly.
"Crack..."
Suddenly, strange noises echoed from the eerie Bone Mountains. Several enormous centipedes broke through the pale hills, ferociously lunging toward Big Guy in the sky.
Not these things again.
Big Guy arrogantly turned their head aside, humming dismissively—I’m not afraid of you!
Spatial ripples spread around the snail shell, and Synthetic Monsters shot out one by one, adeptly engaging the approaching centipedes.
"Zzzzz..."
"Boom..."
Energy attacks filled the sky, enveloping the black centipedes. First, their fleshy wings were blasted apart, followed by Galatron firing several Magic Discs that exploded beneath the centipedes, unleashing a violent airwave that sent them soaring back into the sky, preventing them from either burrowing underground or stabilizing mid-air with their wings.
Next, all the Horror Level Synthetic Monsters swarmed forward, skillfully heating their hard armor until it turned fiery red before breaking through its defenses with Extreme Cold Energy.
After this maneuver, thousands more Synthesis Points were earned.
In the room, hearing the system’s notification chime in his ears, Qin Shou’s expression remained calm.
This was just an appetizer—there was still the main course to come!
"Beep... Detecting terrifying energy ray accumulation underground. Energy levels surpassing Unbreakable Realm One-Star. Requesting evacuation... Requesting evacuation..."
The communicator suddenly flashed rapidly, and Qin Shou furrowed his brows. Before he could react, the entire space violently trembled.
"Awoooo..."
From the high sky, a blinding white beam of energy shot out from the ground, instantly piercing through Big Guy’s supposedly indestructible snail shell.
The white energy beam came fast and disappeared equally quickly.
The monsters froze for a moment, then erupted in excited screeches, scattering in all directions away from the Bone Mountains.
Big Guy scanned left and right. Seeing his "companions" inexplicably abandon him, he didn’t hesitate to toss aside the snail shell on his back and darted toward the direction where the greedy snake had fled.
"Thud..."
The snail shell with its newly created hole crashed to the ground. From the White Bone Mountains swarmed countless black Ant Beasts, surrounding the shell completely before dragging out a half-body corpse from within.
"Gah gah gah..."
The White Bone Mountains shuddered. A faintly glowing white elevator slowly rose, and out stepped a sharp-looking man in a white robe, his skin a striking green.
The green-skinned man had two slender antennae atop his head, their tips shimmering faintly with green light.
"Ha, so this is Earth’s genius?
Such an arrogant genius shouldn’t blame anyone for dying." The man smirked disdainfully.
"Boom..."
Just then, energy roars echoed from a distance. A Level 3 Storm Red crashed onto the nearby Bone Mountain with a deafening impact.
The cockpit opened, and a young man with gloomy eyes leaped to the ground.
The young man glanced at Qin Shou’s lower half, obliterated by the energy, and the hatred burning in his eyes dimmed slightly.
Then, he turned to the green-skinned man, extending his hand. "Kid Star Person, you can keep the corpse. Where’s my item?"
