Chapter 402: Chapter 286: Team Annihilation

This was the first complete appearance of the monster in front of them.

Its body was pitch black, shaped like a catfish that had been magnified countless times.

On either side of its mouth hung a pair of long tentacles, and its entire body length was estimated to be at least twenty meters.

After witnessing the full extent of the monster, everyone was nearly petrified with fear.

Even Matt, who had been clamoring for revenge, now wore a look of horror on his face, for the first time showing panic beyond his anger.

Indeed, their reaction couldn’t be faulted, for when a twenty-plus meter-long behemoth charges at you, such a scene could very well cause many to collapse.

The largest creature on Water Blue Star, the blue whale, was only about this size.

The group on the speedboat, in their frantic escape, felt as though a building was crashing down upon them.

"Duck!!!"

Captain Kando only managed to shout this before the monster descended upon them like a mountain, instantly smashing the boat to smithereens.

Jason, being at the helm, was the last to react and had no time to flee, and was crushed to death by the monster directly.

The rest didn’t fare any better; the moment the giant catfish squashed the speedboat, the shock was so powerful that it sent them reeling, with two even passing out on the spot.

For them, it was like the end time.

They had been brutally beaten while on the boat, and now on the monster’s turf, it was nothing but a waiting game for death.

Now Captain Kando was dizzy and blurry-eyed, his field of view a complete blur.

When he finally came to his senses, he saw a dim blue light approaching him from a short distance away.

He knew it was the monster targeting him.

They say you see past images as you’re about to die, and Kando felt like he was experiencing that moment.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to escape, but they were in the midst of this vast lake, far from any village or shop, let alone outrunning that thing with the speedboat, so how could he possibly avoid it?

In this sweltering climate, Kando felt his hands and feet go ice cold.

Now he was just floating on the water instinctively, watching the monster draw nearer, slowly closing his eyes.

Elsewhere, in midair.

When Zhang Xiaoman arrived here aboard Dawn, he happened to catch sight of the speedboat being shattered by the monster.

"So it’s here. The Dark Energy Fluctuation doesn’t seem to be very strong, but its size is indeed massive. Could it be another Biological Species alien?"

Through the Spirit Detection Technique, Zhang Xiaoman could clearly sense the appearance of the monster below.

"Star Rank, is there a way to take it out directly with the mainframe?"

"That’s not possible, Star Lord. The mainframe is currently in recovery and can’t harness that ability for now."

Star Rank replied.

"Ah, that makes things a bit tricky..."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head slightly at the situation.

Although the monster didn’t seem to have a significant Dark Energy Fluctuation, dealing with it in the water would still be a hassle.

As he was pondering whether to deactivate stealth mode and use Dawn’s firepower to take it down instantly, he saw the monster below abruptly stop its swimming movements, turn in a different direction, and point its head toward him.

"Eh? Has it sensed me? Seems the invisibility of the Anti-gravity Car is of no use to them..."

Zhang Xiaoman frowned slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the figure below.

"It seems you’ve marked me as your target. Well, that’s good; I was worried you’d run off and I’d lose track of you."

He murmured to himself, already starting to arrange a Dark Energy Formula with his hands.

The next second, the monster began to accelerate, and after reaching the water surface, it leaped out suddenly.

Its enormous body didn’t affect its agility in the least, directly crashing into the anti-gravity car suspended in midair.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoman had completed the arrangement of the Dark Energy Formula in his hand.

He raised his right hand high, then pressed it down fiercely.

Immediately after, a terrifying force emerged from the air, striking directly at the oncoming monster.

"Hum!!"

A roaring sound erupted, as if rippling through the air.

The powerful shock force instantly struck the big fish, hitting it right in the head.

The fish flew back at a faster speed than it had come, slamming heavily into the water, and immediately a thunderous splash arose on the lake surface.

"Roar!"

The monster let out a painful howl from underwater.

Its nose and mouth were bleeding, and even the front of its forehead had caved in a large chunk; the entire fish was thrashing and twisting nonstop.

"Hmm? Not dead?"

Inside the anti-gravity car, Zhang Xiaoman was a bit surprised upon seeing this scene; what he had just used was indeed a Dark Energy Shock, the strength of which he was very clear about.

Such a formidable power, not to exaggerate, could even directly bring down a building.

But now, with a direct hit to the monster’s head, the Dark Energy Shock didn’t manage to kill it, which was somewhat unexpected.

"It seems it’s one of those types with very high biological enhancement. These Alien Species of the Biological Series, although not as troublesome as those of the Demon Series, still give me a headache..."

Zhang Xiaoman frowned as he looked down. Now that the creature had fallen back into the water, his Dark Energy Shock seemed a bit weak against it.

"What a pity, if the Dark Energy Shock could penetrate its external Dark Energy Field and act directly on its insides, that would have been great..."

He shook his head, planning to use the Dawn’s vehicle-mounted weapons to finish off the monster.

At this moment, the giant catfish seemed to have been scared by the attack. Hesitating briefly, it decided to flee and, with a flick of its tail, quickly changed direction and escaped.

"Such speed."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman exclaimed, then ordered Star Rank to track and locate the creature, preparing to pursue and eliminate it.

Regardless of points or such matters, this was the Star Alliance headquarters, and he simply couldn’t allow such a threat to persist.

Thinking this, he lowered the altitude of the ship and took a look at the lake surface.

At that moment, the aftermath below had yet to completely subside, but the men who had been attacked by the monster were nowhere to be seen.

It was unclear whether they had already perished or had been washed away by the current.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced in the direction where they had fled, his expression growing solemn.

"Finally, someone has discovered Seven-star Lake... But right now the Shield is still restarting, and I’m afraid it can’t stop them for the time being..."

He was still quite worried about this, but fortunately, the area where those men were today was one of the four emptiest corners on Seven-star Lake.

The closest island to this place was at least seventy kilometers away; if they intended to find Seven Star Island just like that, it would indeed be difficult.

However, this was ultimately no solution, and if someone discovered the island in another area, that would be troublesome.

So, Zhang Xiaoman felt that he couldn’t be careless, and from then on, unless absolutely necessary, the Shield must not be turned off.
