Chapter 1125
Da Sha Chun! What are you doing?!
A deathly silence fell over the cabin. His companion opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to say, "Let's go to Earth ourselves." Cui Ming's fear was etched into the genes of countless cosmic forces—an instinctive awe of the unknown monster. Even the most ruthless hunter wouldn't easily cross this taboo. Earth's malevolence stemmed from the existence of this monstrous man, making it a red line that no one in the universe dared to easily transgress.
The deathly silence in the cabin didn't last long. Annoyed by the wailing of the Muzhen aliens, the companion crossed its arms, pouted, and asked in a teasing yet perfunctory tone, "So, are you still going to play your hunting game?" It thought the other party would give up the idea completely, after all, no one would willingly venture into the "hell" where Cui Ming was.
To everyone's surprise, the mournful-looking Muzhen Alien suddenly raised his head, his despair instantly replaced by obsession. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Play! Why wouldn't I play! I'm not only going to play myself! I'm going to drag you down with me!!!"
Its companion's expression changed drastically, and it subconsciously took a step back, its tone full of shock and panic: "Damn it! Big Fool Chun! What are you doing?!" It never expected that this madman would actually try to drag it down with him.
"Hehe!" The Wood-Dweller named Da Shachun grinned maliciously, smugly waving the space communicator on his wrist. "I've already applied for you to hunt with me! It just got approved! My good friend, let's go to Earth together and retrieve my prey!!!"
"Damn it!!!" His companion trembled with rage, rushing forward to grab the communicator, his eyes filled with despair. "Are you crazy?! That's Earth! That place where that monster Storm One lived! You're the worst teammate you can be!"
It wasn't that it hadn't considered sabotaging its teammates or using underhanded tactics, but those were all calculations within safe limits. Going to Earth, that den of dragons and tigers, to its death was something it truly had no intention of doing. The thought of the murderous aura emanating from Cui Ming, capable of freezing the souls of extraterrestrials, and the powerful forces that had perished on Earth, filled it with a deep-seated fear.
But it was all too late. The flashing green confirmation signal on the communicator, like a death knell, completely cut off its escape route. The spaceship's control panel had already lit up its indicator lights, automatically initiating the trajectory program to Earth. The engines emitted a low hum, flying towards that blue planet that countless aliens feared.
"Come with me! Bastard! If we brothers fight side by side, we might be able to find our prey!" Da Sha Chun grabbed his companion's shoulder and forcibly pulled him toward the cabin exit, his tone full of fanatical obsession.
"You f***ing madman!!! I'm going to kill you!" Its companion struggled desperately, but was held tightly by Big Fool Chun. Looking at the increasingly close outline of Earth outside the porthole, its desperate howls echoed in the cabin, mixed with fear of the future—it knew very well that whether it could come back alive was unknown, after all, there was a monster there that even demons would avoid.
Before the desperate cries of their companions could even subside, a blinding beam of light suddenly shone outside the spaceship. The defensive weapons controlled by Kaina had already locked onto the spaceship that had trespassed into Earth's airspace. Dense beams of light poured down on the cabin like a torrential downpour. The energy struck the spaceship's shields, producing a piercing "sizzling" sound, and the entire cabin instantly began to shake violently.
"Holy crap! What's going on?!" Da Sha Chun and his companion screamed in agony at the same time. Their previous argument was instantly replaced by a life-or-death crisis. The two frantically rushed to the control panel, desperately trying to maneuver the spaceship to dodge the attacks. The spaceship weaved nimbly through the dense beams of light, sometimes flipping, sometimes braking sharply. Ripples appeared where the shields were hit by the beams, threatening to shatter at any moment.
In the airspace not far away, several concealed spaceships hovered silently. The aliens on board poked their heads out, watching the one-sided hunt with great interest, their tone full of mockery and a desire to see more drama unfold. "Hey, aren't these the hunters from Muzhen Star? How come they've been targeted as soon as they entered Earth's airspace?" "Looks like two more reckless fools, daring to trespass on Earth's territory."
They were naturally aware of the source of this firepower—since Cui Ming took over the outer space defense, he had completely upgraded the entire defensive firepower system, increasing weapon power and targeting accuracy several times over. The resulting firepower network was an ultimate killing array; let alone a small spaceship like this, even a large fleet that dared to intrude would be torn to shreds. Seeing the Muzhen aliens fleeing in disarray within this firepower network was undoubtedly a spectacular show for these aliens who were already wary of Cui Ming. Inside the ship, Da Sha Chun and his companions were already drenched in cold sweat, their screams rising and falling, yet they dared not relax for a moment. "Hold on! Veering a little more to the left!" "The shield energy is almost depleted! Hold on!" The two worked together to maneuver the ship, struggling to dodge the dense beams of light. Although the hull had been cracked in several places, it miraculously hadn't been directly shattered.
It must be admitted that these two Wood-Dwelling aliens are indeed quite capable.
Even in dire straits and terrified, their spaceship piloting skills remained sharp. Each dodge precisely avoided fatal attacks, managing to carve out a sliver of life amidst Cui Ming's upgraded ultimate firepower. However, how long this lifeline would last, even they themselves had no idea. After all, this hunting game was destined from the start to be a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival.
Watching the small spaceship on the screen struggling to escape the barrage of fire, its shield teetering on the verge of collapse, a hint of amusement flashed in Kaina's eyes, and a smile curled at the corner of her lips; she was clearly amused.
"Interesting!" She raised her hand and tapped rapidly on the control panel, her tone full of excitement. "Then let's continue the firepower coverage!"
The moment the command was given, even more blinding beams of light erupted from the defensive weapons, their density even greater than before, forming a massive, impenetrable energy net that locked onto the Muzhen alien's spaceship. The energy impact intensified, the ripples on the spaceship's shields grew denser, and the cracks in the hull continued to spread. The screams from inside the cabin were clearly transmitted to Kaina's ears through the communicator.
Kaina casually turned up the monitoring volume, listening to the intermittent screams of despair and panic, her eyebrows slightly raised. Come to think of it, the screams of those two aliens were actually quite pleasant to hear.
Inside the spaceship, Da Sha Chun and his companions were too exhausted to argue, their screams echoing through the air. The shield's energy bar was visibly depleting, the red warning lights were flashing wildly, the ship was rocking more and more violently, instruments on the deck were exploding one after another, sparks flying everywhere, and scorching blasts of air hit them, making them cough.
"We can't hold on! The shield is about to break!" their companion roared, the control stick almost breaking under their grip, their knuckles turning white. Every dodge required all their strength, but the dense beams of light were like a persistent leech, giving them no room to breathe.
Da Sha Chun's face was deathly pale, cold sweat mingling with the ashes from the sparks streaming down his forehead. His body was thrown against the control panel by the rocking of the ship, a sharp pain shooting through his shoulder, but he didn't even have the strength to cry out. He stared intently at the energy bar, watching the value plummet below the critical threshold, his voice filled with despair: "It's over...it's really over!"
The aliens watching from a short distance grew even more engrossed, their voices lowered but their mockery barely concealed. "Tsk tsk, Earth's defensive firepower is too ruthless. Cui Ming's upgrade really makes a difference." "These two Muzhen aliens are doomed. Once their shields shatter, they'll be blasted to smithereens." They only knew it was Earth's outer space defensive firepower, having no idea who was controlling it. They simply assumed it was a killing formation set up by Cui Ming, quietly waiting to see the final outcome.
Kaina paid no heed to the onlookers, continuing to operate her weapon with undiminished enthusiasm, the firepower unabated. The screams and explosions of equipment mingled together, creating a soundscape that perfectly suited her tastes. She lightly tapped the control panel, increasing the firepower once more, her eyes filled with amusement and anticipation. (End of Chapter)
