The Seventh Base - Chapter 1034: 97: Adorable Pet
Chapter 1034: Chapter 97: Adorable Pet
“Be careful,” Xu Mo reminded, sensing that they had entered a mental realm, similar to a gravity domain, enveloping them where everything they saw could be an illusion.
The vast world was indeed full of wonders, and this race known as the Ancient Beast possessed extraordinarily powerful mental capabilities.
His perception unleashed to the limit, he saw the sand in this desert flow wildly, yellow sand filling the sky, making the entire domain blur. Within this blurred sand domain, a phantom energy shadow emerged, massive in size, extremely fierce.
Zero’s spiritual power was also released, her silver hair dancing. Like Xu Mo, she sensed the threat; the Ancient Beast was a peculiar and powerful race.
“Do not act rashly,” Xu Mo said, his spiritual power perceiving everything around them, without making any dangerous offensive moves, only observing.
Here, a slight misstep could lead to death, buried directly in the desert, with the sand flowing as usual, leaving no remains.
It was unknown how many Transcendents were buried beneath this desert.
The people from the Coriade Star Domain took out instruments, capturing energy fluctuations, cautious and careful as well. The death of their companion made them truly realize the danger.
“Screeching…”
A sharp sound echoed, their armor transformed, their arms revealing blade rings composed of numerous blades, rotating rapidly, containing terrifying cutting power.
Several figures moved forward, charging towards the phantoms they saw; the monster phantom seemed to merge with the yellow sand, becoming one with the desert.
The monster phantom lunged towards them, several arms slashed out simultaneously, emitting sharp noises; the blade rings in their hands cut through the monster’s body, yet they sensed something was amiss.
“Boom…”
A violent sandstorm swept towards them, and at the same time, their heads were attacked, plunging them into the sandstorm, their minds turning into an endless desert.
What they struck was not the Ancient Beast but a phantom.
It was all an illusion, and the energy their instruments captured was entirely wrong.
“Pssh, pssh…” Engulfed at once, they could not withstand the spiritual attack, bleeding from their orifices, struggling but powerless, ultimately collapsing limply, buried in the desert.
The technology of the Coriade Star Domain was advanced, but their spiritual power was evidently not strong enough.
Screeching sounds echoed as two people attempted to break free, only to see a figure charge at them, slashing with a sword, the domineering sword light hitting their bodies, trapping them once more.
The person who acted was Lin Qi; his attacks did not stop, continuing to thrust a sword forward, directly piercing one person’s body, killing him outright.
The other was also entirely buried, terrifying sand engulfing him, drawing him into the depths of the desert, disappearing without a trace.
In an instant, a squad was annihilated here.
Lin Qi, as a descendant of the Old Imperial Family Lin lineage, naturally understood that what he had just seen was not the Ancient Beast, just a phantom. The Empire had fallen for many years, the Lin family rarely seen by the world, resulting in the young people of the Coriade Star Domain now unaware of the Ancient Beast, or they wouldn’t have acted so hastily.
“What a cunning beast,” Xu Mo thought to himself. This Ancient Beast had not yet been caught in his true form, such a cautious and cunning creature.
“Boom…”
The terrifying storm swept towards Lin Qi, Xu Mo, and their group, attempting to bury them in sand as before.
Augustus activated the Gravity Domain, causing the flying sand to become extremely heavy, slowing down its speed. Xu Mo’s spiritual power also erupted at that moment, forming a powerful barrier around them, blocking the encroaching sand.
On the other side, the Lin lineage gathered together, Lin Qi similarly releasing strong spiritual power.
“Find it,” Lin Qi said, the other forces unfamiliar with the Ancient Beast, but the Lin family understood.
Catching the Ancient Beast, fighting it had no meaning and was very dangerous.
The Ancient Beast was adept at spiritual power, stealth tactics, and escape, elusive, killing invisibly.
But the Ancient Beast also had a fatal weakness, it was very fragile itself, perhaps why nature granted it powerful stealth abilities to compensate for this fatal flaw.
His spiritual power began searching the area, as the Ancient Beast had appeared, it must be within this vicinity, he must capture it.
At that moment, shifting sand revealed a small figure suddenly moving with the sand, swimming towards Xu Mo and his group.
“Boom…”
Lin Qi and the Lin family members instantly pounced in that direction, their speed terrifying.
“Don’t move.” Xu Mo saw Lowell and his group getting restless and reminded them. It was a fake signal; his perception covered everything in the area, and any slight movement couldn’t escape his senses.
The small figure jumped directly towards Xu Mo and his group. As Lin Qi and the others looked up, a sudden flash of killing intent passed through their eyes.
“Boom.” Zero’s white eyes sparkled, emitting a strong light, which directly shattered it. Only then did Lin Qi and the others stop, glancing at the scattered sand and realizing they had been tricked.
Lin Qi lifted his head to look at Xu Mo and Zero. From the other party’s eyes, Xu Mo sensed a threatening aura. Given the chance, the other party would not hesitate to kill them, just like they did with the people from the Coriade Star Domain.
In the moment of their hesitation, a terrifying spiritual power swept in, launching an attack on all of them simultaneously.
“Boom…” Lowell, Hudson, and the others’ heads trembled violently, their faces turning pale in an instant, as if an invisible hand gripped their heads, oppressing them.
At this moment, Xu Mo’s spiritual power fiercely erupted, following the attack force all the way down, burrowing into the desert, where he saw an energy body, very small, completely integrated with the desert, yet emitting extremely terrifying spiritual power.
“Found it.” A thought appeared in Xu Mo’s mind, thinking this must be the Ancient Beast’s true form.
However, he did not immediately take action. Lin Qi also discovered the Ancient Beast’s trace, and his sword directly broke through the desert, transforming into a bolt of lightning to delve into the sand, with spiritual power fiercely exploding.
The Lin family’s people followed closely, diving into the desert.
“Boom…” At this moment, the desert rampaged, and a terrifying power blocked Lin Qi’s advance. The sand around his body seemed to turn into walls, gradually halting his actions.
“You all wait up there.” Xu Mo spoke to Augustus and the other two.
The three nodded in agreement; they couldn’t help in the duel of the spiritual domain.
Xu Mo’s mecha broke through the desert, carrying Zero and drilling into the middle of it.
“Retreat.” The Lin family’s people turned to Xu Mo and Zero, speaking.
“Boom…” As soon as their words fell, Xu Mo and Zero simultaneously unleashed powerful spiritual attacks. The mecha went berserk, the terrifying Energy Battle Blade slashing out with dazzling blue light, and Zero intuitively swung her dominant Source Power Sword.
Two muffled sounds echoed, and two figures were instantly slain.
The hell with the Old Imperial Family of the Empire, Xu Mo wasn’t buying any of it. Since they came to kill and steal the treasure, they should be prepared to be killed themselves.
He had been observing. It was clear Lin Qi wasn’t particularly strong, not a core member of the Lin family, so they could all die here.
“Boom…” Extremely furious spiritual attacks continued towards the other two Lin family members, whose expressions drastically changed. Before they could react, Xu Mo and Zero killed one each on the spot.
Xu Mo felt a bit miffed seeing Zero’s swift actions. Was he leading the innocent Zero astray?
No, the demoness didn’t need him to lead her astray… Zero also had a fighting gene.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Qi was left alive in the two teams.
He was still resisting the Ancient Beast, while Xu Mo and Zero were already approaching from behind. Lin Qi’s face turned ashen, and he spoke, “Who are you?”
“The one who’s going to kill you.” Xu Mo responded, his mecha advancing, as he and Zero charged at Lin Qi. The spiritual power attack erupted instantly, and the Ancient Beast also cooperated in launching an attack on Lin Qi, meaning he was besieged from three sides.
Fear finally appeared in his pupils, his sword frantically bursting with extremely violent energy, but it was useless. Three spiritual power attacks, plus the mecha’s blade and Zero’s sword, how could Lin Qi possibly resist?
Blood flew in the desert, but it was quickly engulfed by the flowing sand, as Lin Qi’s body was swept away.
With no one else in the way, Xu Mo’s spiritual power was released, heading towards the Ancient Beast. At this moment, he finally saw the Ancient Beast’s true form. It wasn’t a fierce, large monster, more like a ‘cute pet.’
It was bipedal, with short arms and legs, completely snow-white, and had facial features similar to humans. A strong spiritual domain emanated from it, creating false illusions within the domain, carrying tremendous deceit.
The so-called monster was merely a name humans bestowed upon other species. This Ancient Beast was also a form of life in the universe.
Yet this ‘cute pet’ Ancient Beast could kill invisibly. If deceived by appearances, it would be a severe plight.
“Little guy, you can’t escape.” Xu Mo’s voice came from the mecha.
“So cute.” Zero blinked and said softly, thinking it was a fierce monster.
“See if you can capture it and make it your pet,” Xu Mo suggested. Zero nodded lightly, releasing a non-hostile spiritual power, attempting to communicate with the creature, both equipped with spiritual communication skills.
However, the Ancient Beast vigilantly stared at them, its eyes wide open.
“Don’t take it lightly,” Xu Mo reminded. This little guy had just ambushed and killed many people; it was more cunning than him. To capture it, they first couldn’t underestimate it or be deceived by its appearance.
