Su Mo gritted his teeth and controlled the You Ji mech, plummeting straight toward the ground.

Peng~

The You Ji mech landed forcefully, smashing into the ground and creating a deep pit.

At that moment, countless gray-winged beasts swooped down.

Su Mo gritted his teeth again, activating the AT field barrier. The gray-winged beasts crashed into the barrier like raindrops, each one hitting with such force that their heads were left bloodied.

Finally, they scattered in all directions.

Su Mo let out a long sigh of relief, finally making it through.

"Don't be happy too soon. Take a look around you."

Falsified Creator-Devourer reminded him in a low voice.

Su Mo turned his head and was startled. The surrounding area was swarming with wandering monsters, their density having increased several times over.

Among them were some particularly large monsters, which clearly weren't easy to deal with.

"How are there so many monsters?"

"I'm not sure, but while you were up in the sky, I saw very clearly that the number of monsters ahead is even denser."

Falsified Creator-Devourer said in a low voice.

"How am I supposed to find anything? Can't I just go around?"

Su Mo surveyed the surroundings. He could still see some scattered mechanical wreckage, but how was he supposed to continue searching with so many monsters ahead?

"Don't you think that's a stupid question? It's more realistic to just fight your way through."

Falsified Creator-Devourer replied coldly.

"Killing one, two, or three isn't a problem, but there are so many that I can't possibly get through. And with continuous combat, I don't know if the You Ji can hold up, let alone me. The worst part is that there's no way to confirm if searching in this direction is even correct. After all, the climate here is so harsh, with storms blowing all the time. It wouldn't be strange for mechanical parts to be blown over here."

Su Mo had been piloting the pseudo V-generation bio-mech You Ji for an extremely long time, and his body was starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Then go back and rest first. Take it slowly."

Falsified Creator-Devourer said in a low voice.

Su Mo stood in place, a conflicted look on his face. He was also a little unwilling to give up.

But he couldn't be sure that going forward was the right decision. Everything was based on a feeling.

And judging by the traces, they were becoming fewer and fewer.

Falsified Creator-Devourer simply watched quietly, not saying much to influence Su Mo's decision.

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

Inside the Watcher Base, Qian Chengxue leaned against the Night Guard mech, lost in thought.

A hint of worry showed in her eyes. She knew how dangerous Planet Gu was. Hundreds of millions of soldiers had been forced to retreat like stray dogs.

Even if Su Mo was strong, something could easily go wrong, especially given his poor physical condition.

The reason she hadn't wanted to tell Su Mo was to prevent him from piloting a bio-mech in combat again, but things hadn't gone as she'd hoped.

At that moment, Wang Qing walked over and sat down next to Qian Chengxue, asking with concern.

"Xiao Xue, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Qian Chengxue looked up at Wang Qing, offering a small smile in reply.

"Actually, you don't need to worry. Su Mo is so strong. Uncle Lin and the others will be fine."

"Yes, I know."

"There's something I'm sorry about. Actually, my grandfather didn't intentionally go against Uncle Lin. It's just that in recent years, the pressure on his shoulders has been too great. He can't afford to make even the slightest mistake. In private, my grandfather praises Uncle Lin a lot. He's always lamented not having such an outstanding son."

Wang Qing spoke softly to Qian Chengxue.

"I understand. Everyone has their own difficulties."

Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.

"Qing'er, you're chatting with Sister Xue?"

Li Ze walked over at that moment, a handsome smile on his face.

"Yes, the night is long, so I'm chatting with Little Xue. What brings you here?"

Wang Qing turned to look at Li Ze, her gaze gentle.

"I couldn't sleep either. I was going to find you, but when I saw you weren't there, I came over here. It's good that you're chatting with Little Xue. Mr. Su Mo went out at such great risk, so Sister Xue must be very worried. It's good that you're keeping her company."

Li Ze's words were very pleasing to the ear.

Qian Chengxue glanced at Li Ze, her tone becoming noticeably colder as she replied, "Thank you for your concern. Qing'er, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to the mech to rest. I have to switch shifts to stand guard later. You should get some rest too."

For some reason, Qian Chengxue instinctively rejected Li Ze, unwilling to have too much contact with him.

"Okay, Xiao Xue."

Wang Qing nodded.

Li Ze's expression stiffened slightly. He watched Qian Chengxue chatting so happily with Qing'er, but as soon as he arrived, she was going to rest.

It was clear that she didn't like him.

Thinking of this, Li Ze's face twitched, but he didn't show it. He simply smiled and said to Wang Qing, "Qing'er, let's go back and rest too."

"Okay."

Wang Qing replied with a radiant smile.

...

At that moment, deep inside the third level of the Watcher Base, within the Yanasi Kingdom warehouse...

Behind piles of interference stones, a huge hole had been dug out.

A dark tunnel extended downwards, leading to a huge cavern at the bottom of the third level.

Inside the cavern, countless viscous streams of blood converged into a lake. Various skeletal remains were exposed within the lake, including the bodies of alien monsters, fragmented human limbs, and rows of狰狞 heads, emitting an unbearable stench.

At the center of the area, an alien creature over eighty meters tall was curled up. Its entire body was constantly squirming, as if its heart was pulsating.

Crack! Cracks appeared on the surface of the massive creature's shell.

Immediately afterward, countless slender, red, earthworm-like tentacles burst out.

The entire alien shell shattered further.

Before long, a red alien creature covered in countless slender, red tentacles emerged.

The next moment, the monster opened a pair of scarlet eyes, and the densely packed red worms retreated one by one.

A special alien creature, sixty meters tall, appeared, its bones and shell radiating a dark, peculiar luster. Its entire body was covered in metallic scales, its double blades were shaped like crescent moons, and behind it was a bladed scale tail over a hundred meters long.

V-type Hero-class Mutant Parasitic Alien Haggoke had officially completed its evolution.

If Falsified Creator-Devourer were here and saw this monster, it would be extremely surprised.

For an alien parasite to be able to coexist with an alien host to this extent, and even evolve to the Hero level together, was truly astonishing.

At that moment, Haggoke, having just completed its evolution, was exceptionally weak. Its stomach was also churning, but it had no desire to feed on the corpse blood pool.

All the biological tissue and nutrient-rich blood here had already been completely absorbed during its evolution.

In fact, the reason the Watcher Base was so quiet, with so few monsters, was because after the monster tide had taken over the entire Watcher Base, Haggoke had begun to slaughter all the monsters.

Eventually, it had slaughtered all the monsters in the entire base.

Then, it dragged all the monster and human corpses from another side passage to this place, using them as nourishment for its evolution.
