Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 568 - 568 464 Eating

568: Chapter 464: Eating 568: Chapter 464: Eating “Okay.”

Li Duhuai and the others still had a lot of trust in Sun Duoxiang, so they did not rashly go up to search but instead tried to contact Lu Qi.

Unfortunately, there was no response for a long time.

“Brother Sun, it’s no use, we still can’t get through.”

Li Duhuai responded.

At this moment, Sun Duoxiang was also feeling uneasy, sensing that he was in a difficult situation.

The atmosphere suddenly became extraordinarily solemn.

Although he had a very bad feeling, at the crucial moment, he couldn’t just chicken out, so he spoke up, “You all wait here, I’ll go over alone and have a look.”

“Isn’t that too risky?

We should go with you.”

Li Duhai and the others expressed their concerns.

“No need, I am piloting a second-generation mecha, so I can escape if something happens.

Everyone stay on standby here.

If things look bad, we’ll pull out.

We’re here to make a fortune, not to die.”

Sun Duoxiang was exceptionally calm.

Now was not the time to be in the Star Ring World, where a moment’s inattention could be fatal.

“Understood!”

His subordinates responded one after another.

Thus, Sun Duoxiang piloted the mecha carefully towards the transport ship.

Li Duhuai and the others readied their weapons, entering a state of alert to provide remote fire support for Sun Duoxiang at any moment.

Soon, Sun Duoxiang approached the transport ship; everything still seemed extremely normal.

However, behind the debris floating around the ship, pairs of red eyes began to light up.

Sun Duoxiang looked at the dark remains of the transport ship, about to pilot his mecha inside, when he suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at the debris in the surrounding space, feeling as though many eyes were watching him.

But on the radar scan, there was not a single red dot.

Sun Duoxiang cursed himself inwardly.

“Damn, I’m really getting more and more cowardly.”

Then he took a deep breath, ready to pilot his mecha inside.

Suddenly, he thought of Su Mo, recalling how his brother always trusted his instincts.

Spurred by this, he raised his close-range rifle and sprayed bullets around the debris as a probing action.

Bang, bang!

Li Duhuai and his team, already on edge, were startled when they saw Sun Duoxiang suddenly begin firing and instinctively opened fire as well.

Soon their attack stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Instantly, swarms of Type I and Type II pollution monsters, the Chewing Beasts, burst out from the debris, the scanning device lighting up with red dots.

“Retreat!”

Sun Duoxiang was so scared he almost lost his soul, knowing that if he had entered the transport ship, it would have been certain death.

…

Meanwhile, Su Mo continued to wander through space in his Black Steel, staying alert.

In just the past few hours, he had been attacked by wandering monsters at least seven times.

Fortunately, he hadn’t encountered any Type III or higher monster attacks, or else it would have been game over.

Even so, these encounters still put a lot of psychological pressure on Su Mo.

Just then, Su Mo quickly maneuvered his mecha to hide behind a chunk of shattered meteorite.

He saw not far away, creatures with wings like dragonflies, heads flat like suction cups, mouths filled with sharp teeth, and tails glowing green, flying past.

The leading few monsters were clutching several people in their claws; due to the angle, he couldn’t tell if they were dead or alive.

However, from the style of their mechanical armor, it could be confirmed that the captured individuals were likely from the GT department.

Su Mo keyed in commands at the control panel to perform data matching.

Soon a prompt appeared.

“Data match successful, target identified as Type II Alien Species · Doka Worms, characteristics: blood-thirsty, clannish….”

Su Mo’s eyes flickered as he pulled the lever, silently following the monsters; he felt a bit crazy for doing so.

They were from the same department after all, and it wouldn’t be right to not attempt a rescue.

He followed to check on the captives’ status—if they weren’t dead, to see if there was a chance to intervene and save them.

Of course, the most important reason was that he didn’t detect any Type III among these monsters.

Even if discovered, he was still confident that he could escape unscathed.

Soon, Su Mo followed the group of monsters through twists and turns, entering a densely packed garbage area.

Su Mo continuously controlled his mecha to deftly dodge the approaching rubbish.

Suddenly, Su Mo’s eyes twitched as a meteorite, about several kilometers in diameter, came into view deep within the garbage area.

The entire surface of the meteorite looked like a honeycomb, with burrows hollowed out.

Doka Worms were entering and exiting these burrows.

The number was so large that it made Su Mo furrow his brow.

He roughly estimated there were at least a hundred.

At that moment, the Doka Worms carrying their prey dove straight into their nests.

Su Mo took a deep breath, pulled the lever, and prepared to retreat; a nest of this scale might well contain Type III creatures.

Moreover, having followed them all the way here, he hadn’t seen any response from the captives, and it was highly likely they were dead.

Just as Su Mo was about to retreat, he suddenly hesitated.

He saw several Doka Worms flying back, and in their claws, they carried rods emitting green phosphorescence.

Su Mo recognized them immediately—they were high-purity radiant energy fuel rods.

His thoughts became highly active.

These creatures, besides hunting, were also collecting energy sources?

The more Su Mo thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He quickly searched the mecha’s internal database for information on Doka Worms.

Suddenly, a mass of data popped up, and as Su Mo read carefully, his eyelids twitched when he reached the information that Doka Worms collected energy sources to hatch their larvae.
