Chapter 1163: Chapter 896: Giant Slug and White Dragon

Below, colossal creatures crawled across the ground, consuming the planet’s mass. In the sky above, more monsters whooshed closer.

"Should we call that the - Heaven Canopy Giant Monster? What a joke!" Lianhua anxiously switched between different modes on the panel, while Shahua marked all the enemies highlighted by the sensors with fluorescent marks, densely packed.

Xu Cheng glanced at the route Bubble had charted, stretching from the Great Snow Mountain to the Crimean Peninsula, a vast and sinister barren land where prairies and deserts combined to form a virtual wasteland for giant creatures to devour, covered in thick fog, making one’s scalp tingle.

"Winged Fiends and Burning Eyes!" Shahua shouted, her voice trembling.

She didn’t want to add pressure to the other teammates, but she felt incredibly unlucky.

The Winged Fiends dove down from the fog, their wings sharp as dagger points, serpent-like bodies and triangular jaws appearing particularly vicious, with bare, grotesquely swollen flesh.

They dragged dozens or hundreds of wriggling tentacles on their bellies, which shook rapidly during flight. If caught by them, the outcome would be grim.

Another type of creature called "Burning Eyes" floated slowly in the air, resembling enormous eyeballs, often seen standing silently in the sky within the restricted zone, their gaze enough to drive one mad and cause the soul to collapse.

"Look too long and you’ll melt, go insane - hurry!" Bubble was profoundly worried, her heart pounding wildly.

Three Burning Eyes came flying in by sound, flapping their massive fan-shaped tentacles behind them, slowly approaching the Sky Patroller, their gaze set on the shuttle’s pilot, Xu Cheng.

Their gaze seemed to pierce through the machine, yearning to tear the prey apart, anesthetize it, then drag it into the bloody maw hidden beneath their eyes with tentacles, devouring it bit by bit.

Ming Gongqiao fired upon the approaching monsters from all directions, trying to push back the increasing number of Winged Fiends, but the shooting was ineffective, relying on Xu Cheng’s exceptional piloting skills to break through the surrounding flying monsters.

When Ming Gongqiao looked at Xu Cheng, she unexpectedly saw that Xu Cheng was distracted.

"Wake up!" Ming Gongqiao urged.

"Gua gua..." Xu Cheng replied blankly.

Stared at by the three Burning Eyes, her mind endured a higher level of interference, her soul nearly dragged out of her body.

She could see below, the limitless giant creature crawling upon the ground, and the three particularly cold Burning Eyes around, their mental connections forming a vast net, almost swallowing Xu Cheng’s will.

Xu Cheng’s soul left her body, transferred to another container, witnessing other souls undergoing enslavement and execution.

The Burning Eyes used their gaze to capture Xu Cheng’s soul, then gave it to higher, more intelligent monsters, resembling elongated mosquitoes with thousands of evil tendrils extending from their head.

They were in—in a large network center.

Xu Cheng’s captured soul floated in a cylindrical container, witnessing the most horrifying scene ever: dozens of insect-like and ant-like elongated monsters working within human-built network facilities!

They used their shell-like pincers and limbs to tap on keyboards, fixed their slender, column-like eyes on screens, having to bend down due to size mismatch, learning, understanding, digesting, and cracking all human technology at a terrifying speed, cunningly stealing human technology and network control, rewriting and colonizing the planet with their language and habits.

The room was filled with the alien creatures’ sickly muttering whispers.

To this day, they have the capability to access post-disaster world data and systems, peeking into cameras and displays everywhere, silently observing human life, even disguising themselves as humans to engage in social activities.

Everywhere, trapped, pitiful souls were almost unable to escape, being examined and scanned by these monsters, human knowledge and secrets unable to hide, advanced information for these extraterrestrial beings to study and learn, working as though this wasn’t the first planet they attempted to enslave. This scene deeply impacted Xu Cheng, haunting her nerves for countless future nights.

Xu Cheng looked up, trying hard to return to her body, when a researcher already saw the captured Xu Cheng, quickly creeping over, tapping the ground rapidly with its claws as it moved.

Gua—quick, return, return! Xu Cheng was almost faint with fear.

"Little Gua! Little Gua!" Bubble rushed over, shaking the soul-lost Xu Cheng in her seat.

Hearing the call, Xu Cheng’s soul inexplicably burst into incredible speed, rushing back and diving into her physical shell.

Seeing the Sky Patroller’s situation, her heart nearly leaped out of her throat; it was descending fast, almost colliding with the gigantic beast on the ground! The thought of contact with that monster evoked a surge of fear and nausea impossible to suppress.

Charge!

Xu Cheng gritted her teeth, swiftly pulled the control lever, balanced the rudder, adjusted engine power, forcefully pulling the shuttle upwards.

She was sweating profusely.

"What happened just now?" Ming Gongqiao pressed, it needed to be wary of such scenarios where the captain suddenly lost control.

"Gua gua—" Xu Cheng was panic-stricken, recalling what she saw earlier, the monsters, extraterrestrial beings roaming freely within the restricted zone, dissecting human civilization like a corpse, "Intelligent aliens..."
