“Okay.”

Li Duhai and the others trusted Sun Duoxiang very much. They did not rashly go up to search but tried to contact Lu Qi.

Unfortunately, there was no response after a long time.

“Brother Sun, still can’t get in touch.”

Li Duhai responded.

Sun Duoxiang was also feeling uneasy, feeling a bit like he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

The atmosphere became unusually tense for a moment.

Although he had a very bad premonition, he couldn't back down at this critical moment, so he said, “You all wait here. I’ll go take a look by myself.”

“Wouldn’t that be too risky? Let’s go with you.”

Li Duhai and the others responded with concern.

“No need. I'm piloting a second-generation mecha. If something really happens, it'll be easier to escape. Everyone, stay here and wait for orders. If the situation isn’t right, retreat. We're here to make a fortune, not to die.”

Sun Duoxiang was exceptionally calm. This wasn't the Star Ring world, and a moment of carelessness could mean the end.

“Understood!”

The subordinates responded one after another.

So Sun Duoxiang carefully approached the transport ship in his mecha.

Li Duhai and the others controlled their mechas to raise the weapons in their hands, entering a state of alert, ready to provide remote fire support for Sun Duoxiang at any time.

Soon Sun Duoxiang approached the transport ship. Everything was still normal.

However, behind the wreckage floating around the spaceship, pairs of red eyes lit up.

Sun Duoxiang looked at the dark wreckage of the transport ship and was about to pilot his mecha inside, but suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the wreckage in the surrounding starry sky, feeling as if many eyes were staring at him.

But the radar scan showed no red dots at all.

Sun Duoxiang cursed himself inwardly.

Seeing this, Su Mo wasn't afraid at all, but became even more excited. If these monsters tried to escape, it would be harder to hunt them. If they didn't escape, it would be simple.

His eyes sharpened, and he lowered the shoulder cannon and fired a shot.

Instantly, the head of a severely injured Doka bug was blown to pieces at close range.

Then Su Mo turned around and controlled the Black Steel mecha to thrust a shot backward, killing another Doka bug that pounced on him.

The entire battle lasted only a minute or two.

Su Mo controlled the Black Steel mecha to reach out, grab the energy fuel rod, and leave directly.

He planned to find another place and use the energy fuel rod as bait.

The hunting plan officially began!

--------------------------------------

Inside the command room of the Black Obelisk, Li Ruiqi sat in the command chair, quietly listening to the report.

The operator was reporting the real-time situation.

“Speeder sent two elite exploration teams, led by Tous (substitute member) and Weike (substitute member), to conduct in-depth exploration. So far, both elite exploration teams have entered the depths of the third layer. According to the information sent back, they discovered large spaceship wrecks and huge biological skeletons. Here are the images.”

Soon, images popped up on the screen.

You could see giant spaceship wrecks, each seven or eight kilometers long.

Each spaceship had a different shape. These spaceships included battleships, transport ships, and multifunctional special ships. Moreover, the markings on each spaceship were different, some marked with hieroglyphic patterns, some with numbers, and some with strange patterns.

It could be seen that they belonged to the fallen civilizations.

“Tell them to be careful.”

Li Ruiqi responded indifferently.

“Yes!”

“Also, Captain Li Ruiqi, other exploration teams have begun to send various exploration information one after another. They have explored a lot of materials and valuable things. If they can be brought back smoothly, the harvest will be very rich, but…”

“But what?”

“But many exploration sites are occupied by monsters. We need to send regular troops to destroy them, so many exploration captains are requesting the intervention of combat troops.”

Li Ruiqi thought for a while and finally replied,

“Approved.”

.......

In the starry sky, Tous piloted the III generation mecha, Lie Hu, leading the elite troops cautiously forward.

In the communication channel, a subordinate's doubtful voice sounded.

“Officer Tous, don’t you think something is wrong? When we first went deep, we would encounter attacks from time to time. But the deeper we go, the fewer attacks we encounter.”

Tous said vigilantly: “Be careful!”

“Yes.”

Everyone responded.

Not long after Tous flew past, only to see finger-sized reptiles with mechanical wings crawling out of piles of garbage wreckage. Their eyes flashed red as they looked at the direction Tous and the others were leaving.

It could be said that every move of Tous and others was completely transmitted back.

Inside the Twilight Fortress, the robot stared at the transmitted images, wondering what he was thinking.

If you looked closely, you would find that the entire image screen was densely packed with images, all of which were personnel entering the operation.

Among them was Su Mo’s Black Steel mecha.

Su Mo was like a praying mantis, hunting those monsters, without noticing that a mechanical reptile was filming everything from a distance.

In the adjacent imaging grid, you could see Sun Duoxiang and others scurrying around like headless flies.

Evading the monsters chasing behind them.

.......

The robot’s eyes then fell on the Black Obelisk.

His red electronic eyes flickered, quickly calculating how to lure the prey into the trap.

Then his gaze fell on the exploration teams.

This was the best hostage, but the weight of the hostages who entered now seemed to be insufficient.

He needed a little patience.

Waiting for more exploration teams to enter.

Of course, he wasn’t worried that the hostages wouldn’t be fooled. No one could resist the lure of profit.

......

------------------------------------

Two days later, Su Mo's hands were getting tired from killing in the Black Steel mecha.

He only went back to resupply once in between.

He looked at the data displayed on the mecha.

He had killed a total of 210 Type I Doka bugs and 42 Type II Doka bugs.

Fortunately, these monsters were very easy to lure, and their intelligence was very low, which made the hunt so smooth.

Su Mo estimated that it should be almost enough. No monsters had been attracted for half a day.

So he took a deep breath and flew towards the Doka bug nest.

A moment later, Su Mo appeared near the nest. Although the nest was still the same, there was one completely different thing from before. No Doka bugs could be seen flying out of the entire nest. It was unusually quiet.

Su Mo mustered his courage and drove the mecha into a relatively large hole.

The interior was very dark, with almost zero visibility.

Su Mo turned on the night vision mode of the Black Steel mecha, barely able to see the situation in the passage.

The entire passage twisted and extended inward. The overall structure was stone walls, and the surface was covered with a lot of corrosive mucus.

However, for Black Steel, these corrosive mucus were not dangerous.

When Su Mo reached a corner, his eyes narrowed.

The next second, a Type I Doka bug pounced on him. Su Mo was quick-handed and quick-eyed, and controlled the Black Steel mecha to pierce it with a shot.

*Ka!*

The alloy spear directly pierced in through its mouth and out of the back of its head. The entire killing process was clean and neat.

Su Mo kicked the Doka bug, pulled out the alloy spear, and walked cautiously into the depths.

About half an hour later, Su Mo drove Black Steel deep into the nest and came to the deepest point. Before him was the exit of the passage.

Looking through the exit, a very shocking scene appeared.

The interior of the nest was a circular giant hatching nest, filled with dense, gray, squirming insect eggs.

At the same time, protruding from the inner stone walls and parts of the ground were prism-shaped blue energy crystals, which emitted a faint halo.

Of course, if you looked closely, you could also see that a large number of collected items were piled up around the insect eggs, all of which had energy reactions. For example, energy fuel rods and various mechanical energy storage modules.

The mess of things added together was very spectacular.

Su Mo couldn't help but swallow. He was going to make a fortune this time.

But Su Mo quickly calmed down, because he saw a Type III Doka queen bug lying in the center area. Its bloated body was nearly thirty meters high. It was simply like a behemoth.

It didn't look like something to be trifled with.

Su Mo's eyes were fixed on the Doka queen bug, looking it up and down.

He began to try to analyze the weaknesses of the Doka queen bug, and he calculated secretly.

The eyes should be considered a weakness, and the joints of the wings should also be considered one.

Also, this bug was too fat, with thick skin and flesh. It was estimated that its health points were very tough, and it was estimated that it would not be so easy to stab to death.

Another thing worth noting was its tail, which emitted a very strong green light, a bit like a firefly, which should be very dangerous.

Then Su Mo cautiously checked the entire internal hatching nest from beginning to end.

He found four or five Type II Doka bugs and more than a dozen Type I bugs. These guys were hiding in those insect eggs.

Su Mo estimated a bit, and he wondered if he took action, more monsters might emerge from the surrounding passages.

But this did not make Su Mo feel fear, but became even more excited.

If it were before, Su Mo would have had some concerns. But since his last battle with the IV generation bio-mecha, Dark Herald, he had become bolder.

Su Mo took out two nutrient bars from the side, bit them open, and swallowed the nutrient bar liquid into his stomach in a few mouthfuls.

Then he made up his mind and pushed the power lever to the maximum!

The power unit of the entire Black Steel mecha made a violent buzzing sound. The next second, the entire Black Steel mecha rushed out of the passage and directly attacked the Doka queen bug.

The drowsy Doka queen bug suddenly opened its scarlet eyes, turned its head to look at the attacking Black Steel mecha, opened its bloody mouth, and fired a dark green beam.

Su Mo's pupils shrank, and the whole world seemed to quiet down.

The passage of time seemed to slow down.

He pulled the operating lever, the body of the Black Steel mecha shifted, dodging the beam, and accelerated the assault at the same time.

The entire Black Steel mecha was almost moving along the beam, and appeared in front of the Doka queen bug in an instant. Su Mo suddenly pulled the operating lever, the entire mecha adjusted its body, and swung the alloy spear at the same time, stabbing it into the eyes of the Doka queen bug.

Viscous liquid splashed out!

Seeing that he had succeeded, Su Mo felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

However, at this time, the Doka queen bug let out a wailing insect cry, and its entire body moved, and it crashed over fiercely.

Su Mo was startled and raised the alloy spear in his hand to block it.

*Bang!*

The entire mecha flew backwards.

At this time, the other Doka bugs hidden in the insect eggs were all angered, flapping their wings and rushing towards Su Mo.

Su Mo didn't panic, he adjusted the power output of the back spray device to the maximum, instantly stabilized the mecha, and started to escape at the same time.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Doka bugs were chasing and killing him.

Su Mo then began to kite, turning the shoulder cannon and firing a shot at the Doka bugs following him from time to time.

*Boom!*

One Doka bug after another was hit and fell straight down.

At this time, the injured Doka queen bug flapped its huge wings, and its bloated body flew up, angrily rushing towards Su Mo.

Seeing this, Su Mo didn't flinch either. He directly kited and charged towards the Doka queen bug.

His eyes were fixed on the root of the Doka queen bug's right wing, wanting to cripple one of its wings first.

Seeing that the enemy in front of him dared to charge head-on, the Doka queen bug seemed to be touched as well. The green light on its tail became more intense, and the energy reaction soared.

In one second, its tail bent and aimed at Su Mo.

A dark green beam blasted towards Su Mo.

The corner of Su Mo's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't evade immediately. Instead, at the moment when he was about to be hit, he suddenly pulled the operating lever, and the entire mecha made a lateral emergency retreat in mid-air, cleverly dodging it.

The dodged dark green beam hit the Doka bugs that were chasing Su Mo.

Suddenly, those Doka bugs exploded in wails, and most of them died instantly. Moreover, most of the survivors were Type I, because the Type II Doka bugs were chasing the closest, so the casualties were naturally the most severe.

After succeeding, Su Mo pushed the operating lever again, and the Black Steel mecha accelerated to meet the Doka queen bug.

The enraged Doka queen bug opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Su Mo.

Su Mo pulled the operating lever extremely quickly, and at the same time input instructions to forcibly overclock the power.

The entire Black Steel mecha suddenly flew upwards, and the Doka queen bug's giant mouth bit into the air.

Su Mo controlled the mecha to jump onto the back of the Doka queen bug, and then pierced the root of the right wing with a shot, and then slashed it hard.

With the splashing of viscous blood, the right wing of the Doka queen bug was forcibly removed by the Black Steel mecha.

Suddenly, the bloated Doka queen bug fell straight down, hitting the ground hard.

Su Mo's eyes shrank, a good opportunity!

He controlled the mecha to rush down and pierce the head of the Doka queen bug with a shot.

*Ka!*

Nearly a third of the alloy spear penetrated into its bloated head.

However, the next second, the Doka queen bug shook its head in pain, and directly甩Su Mo flew out and crashed to the ground.

The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly. It's not dead yet? Its vitality is really tenacious.

At this time, the remaining Type I Doka bugs rushed towards Su Mo frantically.

Su Mo pulled the operating lever and controlled the Black Steel mecha to climb up. At this time, he suddenly found that the alloy spear in his hand was stuck on the head of the Doka queen bug. He input instructions and called up the weapon list of the Black Steel mecha, and saw that there was a short blade displayed on it.

He immediately controlled the mecha to draw out the short blade from his waist and swung it swiftly towards the attacking Doka bugs.

After killing a few, Su Mo controlled the Black Steel mecha to forcibly break through and rush towards the Doka queen bug.

Now is not the time to waste time with those small fries. If he doesn't take the Doka queen bug's life while it's sick,

He will be the one who suffers when it recovers.

The only remaining eye of the Doka queen bug showed a trace of fear, and its tail gathered energy again, firing a beam towards Su Mo.

Su Mo pulled the operating lever and dodged straight away. At the same time, he flew up and charged towards the Doka queen bug in mid-air.

In an instant, he appeared on the head of the Doka queen bug, stepping on the alloy spear!

*Puchi~*

This time, the entire alloy spear was almost submerged into its head.

The Doka queen bug let out a shrill scream, and after a violent squirm of its bloated body, it finally stiffened.

At this time, the remaining Type I and Type II Doka bugs in the nest rushed up.

Su Mo pulled out the alloy spear and rushed up without hesitation.

A moment later, all the monsters in the entire nest were cleared. Except for the insect eggs on the ground, there were no survivors. However, these insect eggs could not hatch for a while, and even if they did hatch, they were only juveniles and could not cause any harm at all.

Just when Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly froze, feeling a wriggling in his chest.

Su Mo lowered his head subconsciously, only to see the Fabricator · Devourer directly permeating out of his body. It passed directly through the cockpit and floated towards the Doka queen bug.

When the Fabricator · Devourer floated to the head of the Type III Doka queen bug, it extended countless tentacles to bind its huge body. The next second, the bloated Doka queen bug was directly decomposed and absorbed by those black tentacles.

Su Mo was also frightened by this scene.

The next second, the Fabricator · Devourer emitted a black halo. All the energy crystals in the nest, as well as energy fuel rods, etc., all the built-in energy of all things was extracted, and finally gathered into the Fabricator · Devourer's body.

Before Su Mo could recover, the Fabricator · Devourer flew back towards Su Mo. It easily penetrated the Black Steel mecha cockpit and entered Su Mo's body.

Su Mo then realized that this guy was done charging.

However, at this moment, Su Mo heard the Fabricator · Devourer's muffled voice of contempt in his mind.

“Too slow, too weak.”

“……”

Su Mo was speechless.
