World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 461 - 342 Esa

Chapter 461: Chapter 342 Esa

He thought about it, and if he included the monster Lord Bear had killed earlier, he had earned a total of 84 points!

Although he needed to save half of them, the fact that he picked up 42 points for free still made him very happy.

You must know that in the current environment, although Alien Species began to appear in this world one after another, finding one was not so easy.

For one thing, as he had said at the beginning, the Great Fusion was a gradual process. Even though the pace had been greatly accelerated, the arrival of Alien Species was still not so frequent in the early stage.

After all, it was an overlap between two universes. Even if Alien Species wanted to come over, they wouldn’t just cause trouble in one place on Water Blue Star, would they?

Secondly, various countries’ governments had also gradually become aware of the existence of Alien Species, and most nations had already started making preparations to deal with these suddenly-appearing monsters.

Therefore, it had become somewhat difficult for Zhang Xiaoman to score points.

Once these matters changed from being peculiar tales among the people to abnormal events concerning the government, he would find it more challenging to step in and snatch up opportunities.

This was also why he wanted to recruit Shi Yong and his group to establish a dedicated information-gathering Canglan Department.

These were some of the difficult issues he currently faced.

However, the harvest Lord Bear gained this time still made him very happy. The acquisition of 42 points had already covered the cost of the Starry Stones provided to the Light Blue Clan.

"Hmm... having taken down so many monsters in one go, it seems Lord Bear might be in a bit of trouble too. I should give him a call and ask about the situation..."

Zhang Xiaoman thought that, given Lord Bear’s current strength, being able to deal with so many monsters was already quite impressive. If he said he was unharmed, that might be a bit unrealistic.

So, out of safety considerations, he decided to make a call and inquire about the situation.

Once the call was connected, the somewhat excited voice of Lord Bear immediately came through.

Hearing the tone of the other side, Zhang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief; he knew Lord Bear probably wasn’t in too much trouble.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Xiaoman confirmed the situation there and, understanding the whole story, he nodded satisfactorily, planning to end the call.

However, at that moment, there suddenly came an astonished exclamation from Lord Bear, which indicated that he might have encountered an unexpected situation.

"Goodness, such a rich Dark Energy Fluctuation, what is this thing!"

Zhang Xiaoman, who had been about to press the hang-up button, suddenly stopped his finger, frowning as he listened to the noises coming from the other end of the phone. He called out twice more, but received no response.

It seemed that Lord Bear on the other side of the phone had encountered some kind of mishap. Zhang Xiaoman could even faintly hear a few women’s screams and the sounds of a scuffle.

"This is bad, Lord Bear must have expended a lot during the previous fight. It seems he has encountered another big one now. It looks like I need to go over there myself..."

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t hesitate and immediately got into his gear, preparing to activate Unlimited Teleportation and head over.

At this moment, in the center square of Morganstoman Town, the pile of monster corpses that had littered the ground earlier was gone—only some traces of blood remained; they had been purified and absorbed by Lord Bear.

However, the scene was even more chaotic than when those 15 monsters had appeared.

Before him was a monster nearly 4 meters in height wreaking havoc in the area. Lord Bear, holding a silver long spear, was battling it amidst a mess of various pots and water jars overturned on the ground.

This monster looked distinctly different from those encountered earlier.

Not only was its size larger, but previously, those Ete, at first glance, all appeared to have eight legs and a large mouth.

However, this monster emitted a strange gray glow all over its body and had two long arms growing out, yet its overall structure still resembled that of a large water jar.

It turned out that just moments ago as Lord Bear had been talking to Zhang Xiaoman, the largest water jar at the back of the town square suddenly began to mutate.

From the perspective of Lord Bear’s Spirit Detection Technique, one could clearly see a spherical shadow hovering in that water jar, adhering to the inside of the jar wall just like previous Ete had done.

This shadowy sphere had actually been there all along, but Lord Bear hadn’t noticed it in time because he was standing in a different position, outside the 50-meter perception range of his Spirit Detection Technique.

Now, the sphere seemed to have completed its final projection, and the emanation of Dark Energy Fluctuations surged abruptly, catching the attention of Lord Bear who was walking nearby.

However, it seemed a bit late for him to notice as the monster’s descent was already complete, and a higher-level Esa made its appearance.

Or perhaps, with the means available at the present, there was no way to prevent such a descent.

The moment the monster appeared, it fixed its gaze on Lord Bear, an Awakener. Just like other monsters, it staggered over at first, but even then, its speed was noticeably faster than that of the low-level Ete.

Lord Bear could no longer afford to keep talking to Zhang Xiaoman, for the monster had already reached him. Taking a deep breath, he prepared to slay this beast using the same method as before.

However, this time, his plan failed.

It wasn’t that Lord Bear’s battle strategy was flawed, but rather that this monster vastly outmatched the previous Ete in strength.

After Lord Bear inflicted damage, the creature entirely entered a State of Fury, not only growing larger and more ferocious in appearance but also acquiring the ability to use Dark Energy.

This caught Lord Bear off guard, almost causing him a great loss.

By then, he couldn’t help but realize that he had encountered a higher-level Esa, one that simply couldn’t be compared to the ordinary Ete.

This Esa’s special ability didn’t seem to be like the immobilization control effect Zhang Xiaoman had encountered last time but was instead similar to the remote energy attack of the Big Corpse Demon.

Luckily, Lord Bear dodged the attack just in time. Otherwise, looking at the wall that had been blasted open with a huge hole in the distance, his fate wouldn’t have been any better.

Fortunately, it seemed that the opponent couldn’t use this kind of attack indefinitely. At least after using it once, the monster didn’t have the capacity for continuous use.

Lord Bear engaged in close combat with the monster, but even with his current constitution, he found it somewhat challenging to handle such a creature.

After all, an Esa of this level not only had its defensive power greatly increased, but its speed and strength were also very high.

At the same time, it possessed a terrifying recovery power. Lord Bear would thrust with his spear, and barely had he withdrawn it, when the wound on the creature would already be nearly completely healed, giving him no advantage at all.

"Esa...hiss!"

With a roar, the monster unleashed a terrifying swoosh through the air with its claw, instantly sending Lord Bear, who was too slow to evade, flying and leaving several dreadful wounds on his arm.
