Chapter 189

The entire underground laboratory was shrouded in fear. The fully equipped mobile squadron sent to reinforce them had been wiped out, proving that the monster's combat power and fighting style were beyond human imagination. In this situation, reinforcements from other bases would likely be like meat buns thrown to a dog – a futile effort.

Outside the door, the silent monster didn't seem to have disappeared. From time to time, there were tapping sounds, but not against the titanium alloy door. The tapping came from other places, as if it was searching for weak points. This feeling sent chills down everyone's spines.

When Li Hao, riding a Razor Giant Insect, arrived at the base, it was already deathly silent. Mecha wreckage was scattered everywhere, permeated with a bloody scent. Kaz had arrived. Li Hao could sense that aura, but it wasn't on the surface, it was underground.

The Razor Giant Insect's eyes emitted golden light, scanning everywhere. Following the aura, it quickly found the entrance to the laboratory. However, it didn't go down, because it sensed that the aura had noticed its presence and was already heading towards the exit.

Li Hao hefted his two large machetes, waiting for the Giant Insect Lord to appear. In the blink of an eye, a monster walked out of the cave. It walked out on two legs, with wriggling tentacles trailing behind it. The crystals of K23 element shimmered on its body. No matter how you looked at it, this thing didn't seem to be related to Giant Insects.

The Giant Insect Lord sized up the strange Giant Insect in front of it, its eyes filled with naked greed. It opened its fangs and fired a beam of energy.

Li Hao dodged immediately, but Kaz was already gone. Li Hao didn't dare to move rashly, carefully observing everything around him. This guy was hiding thoroughly. Golden light suddenly burst out from the Razor Giant Insect, instantly illuminating the entire base. At the same time, Kaz launched an attack on Li Hao from the darkness.

Clang.

Li Hao's machete collided with Kaz's claws. A tremendous force surged forth, and the ground exploded. Clang, clang, clang.

The sharp claws danced wildly. Li Hao was also surprised by the opponent's power. The light burning on its claws contained a strong K23 element reaction. Was this guy's entire body filled with K23 element?

Boom.

Li Hao was directly sent flying. The Razor Giant Insect couldn't withstand such power. Li Hao's enhancement of the Giant Insect was limited, and the Razor Giant Insect's endurance was also limited. It was clear that they couldn't fight this opponent head-on. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreat was the best option.

The Razor Giant Insect dodged Kaz's rapid pounce with a tumble. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Seven or eight tentacles directly pierced into the ground, and the Razor Giant Insect bounced away, rushing towards the outside of the base. But the monster was even faster. It had already flown in front of Li Hao in an instant. In mid-air, four claws came down. Li Hao braked sharply and turned, trying to shake it off, but the bone wings on Kaz's back were even more flexible. It directly changed direction, predicting Li Hao's position. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The tentacles stabbed towards the Razor Giant Insect as if they were alive. The Razor Giant Insect erupted with golden light, actually creating a golden zone energy shield that enveloped it. The tentacles stabbed onto it and melted as if they were being burned. The monster's tentacles were bounced away, but when they retracted, they had already grown back.

The monster didn't attack immediately, but sized up the Razor Giant Insect in front of it. The next second, darkness began to spread from Kaz's feet, directly engulfing the entire base.

Li Hao was also groaning inwardly. What the hell was this? Blee

Suddenly, the severed limbs of the Razor Giant Insect grew dark scythes. Whoosh, whoosh.

All of Kaz's tentacles were cut off, and the severed parts were completely withered. Darkness spread and devoured along the cuts. The monster let out a piercing screech. The next moment, a black light flashed, and Kaz's limbs were severed. The Razor Giant Insect took the initiative, and the black scythe directly pierced Kaz's chest, pinning it firmly to the ground. At the same time, a dark energy shield instantly isolated everything.

Li Hao lay on Kaz's body, feeling extremely disgusted, but after waiting for so long, he had to get something out of it. He stared intently at the monster's head, sending out a telepathic wave, "What, are you?"

Damn it, after acting for so long, he ran into a monster that didn't like to babble. He could only resort to force. He could extract a lot of useful things from this guy. This guy had completely mastered human language and thinking patterns, and could also use telepathic waves. If anyone said it didn't understand humans, no one would believe it. What was it lurking for so long? What was its purpose?

What exactly was the courier?

The monster's eyes kept contracting, actually revealing fear and shock, "What monster are you... how can you control... dark matter..."

Whoosh, whoosh.

Purple blood splattered. Li Hao was unhappy. Damn it, the situation had reversed, and it still dared to ask questions. And it even knew this was dark power. This was his trump card, and he really didn't want to expose it if he wasn't forced into a dangerous situation.

Just thinking about it made him angry, so he cut it a few more times, cutting off the monster's useless parts first. It was too ugly. Purple blood was splattered all over the ground.

The monster struggled desperately, but it was helpless against the dark matter claws. Neither its body nor soul could move. It was firmly trapped in place, unable to move even a bit of space or time.

"Since you know this is dark matter, then honestly answer my questions, and I'll grant you a quick death," Li Hao said encouragingly.

The monster's eyes kept flashing, revealing a strange expression, followed by deep fear. "You... are you awakened?"

"Awakened to what?" Li Hao was stunned. Suddenly, his dark matter claws began to shake. ...The consumption was too great, and he couldn't maintain it. Damn it, at the crucial moment.

Li Hao felt uneasy. The large K23 crystal on Kaz's chest emitted a strong light. The next second, the light on the Razor Giant Insect disappeared, and it slumped motionless. Immediately afterward, a mushroom cloud rose, and the huge explosion and shockwave directly razed Andareos Base Five to the ground...

Dear partners, I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, a prosperous and auspicious Year of the Rabbit!!!
