Chapter 461 Interstellar Beast 2 (2/2)
Around them was the dark underground. The temperature there was much higher than that of the surface. There was only one way forward—it was a dead end behind them.
Han Xiao activated night vision, walked forward for a while, and came across a fork in the road. Without hesitation, Han Xiao took the left path. The temperature gradually increased. Herlous took off his helmet, sensed the surroundings, and said, ”This temperature is quite comfortable.”
”We're almost there. Get ready for battle,” Han Xiao said.
The three of them arrived at the end of the tunnel. Before them was an underground lake. The water was boiling with bubbles rising to the surface, causing the area above the lake to be filled with a thick mist. This lake was like a hot spring, meaning that there should be a geothermal area below it that caused the hot spring to form.
This time, an exclamation came from the hot spring.
”Who are you?” A naked Godoran appeared in the hot spring, looking at them with surprise. Water rolled down her curvy body.
Herlous first looked down, then up, then repeated the process a few times before he realized. ”You're Lenny?”
”You know me?” The female Godoran was surprised. She was indeed Nereja's wife.
”We're mercenaries. We accepted your husband's request and came to save you. Where are the others?” Herlous asked.
”That's amazing. Finally, someone came to save us. The others are…”
Joy appeared on Lenny's face, but suddenly, her expression changed, and she anxiously said, ”Don't stand there. It's coming out!”
Just as she finished her sentence, a small whirlpool formed in the middle of the hot spring lake. Something large was rising to the surface. A tsunami-like wave expanded from the middle and splashed onto Han Xiao and the others.
Boom!
A strange creature jumped out of the lake and levitated midair before turning toward the three people on the shore.
”What… is this?” Herlous' eyes opened wide.
”An Interstellar Beast, a space creature born between stars,” Han Xiao quickly explained. ”It can fly in space with its body and increase its speed through the gravitational force of planets to reach the speed of spaceships. Although it cannot jump like a spaceship and usually has to fly alone for thousands of years, its lifespan is almost infinite. They can keep molting and renew their cells—they're very rare. Mages can summon Interstellar Beasts through an ancient ceremony. The spell is unidirectional and ignores physical distance. However, they summon Interstellar Beast mostly to hunt and kill them. After all, an Interstellar Beast's body is a very rare material.”
The Interstellar Beast before them looked very strange. It had a slender, violet body that was tens of meters long. It had no scales or hair and was very smooth. Its skin had a translucent texture, emitting a dim light under its skin. It had no limbs—its front and tail were narrow while the middle of it was wide, looking like a fin. There was only a long tentacle on its head and nothing else. At the end of the tentacle was a clear crystal. It looked similar to marine life forms.
The Interstellar Beast spun in midair like a fish swimming swiftly in water. Its tentacle vibrated, and Han Xiao suddenly felt an invisible force trying to pull him to the Interstellar Beast. His body started levitating uncontrollably.
”Ha!”
Herlous acted first. He slashed his Battleship Slicing Blade, sending out a beam of blade shaped light, directly hitting the Interstellar Beast's body. However, it shattered in an explosion, and the Interstellar Beast was unhurt; it did not even move an inch.
”Don't hope to hurt an interstellar creature that can travel through the universe with its body this easily.” Han Xiao pulled out an electromagnetic firearm and fired. The bullet bounced off the Interstellar Beast's body, and a damage number ”1” appeared.
The Interstellar Beast's attributes appeared on the interface.

Han Xiao nodded in his mind. He had known the Interstellar Beast's attributes since the start. As a Space Creature, its health was outrageous. Without a doubt, it was a true Boss. Furthermore, its Physical Resistance and Magic Resistance were very high, so attacking its body would deal close to no damage. The players in his previous life had been wiped out once before finding a way to defeat it.
The weak spot of the Interstellar Beast was its tentacle crystal. It almost had no resistance, so basically, every hit on it would deal True Damage.
Every time the damage accumulated to 50,000, the Interstellar Beast's entire body's resistance would decrease by twenty percent, which would allow attacks on its body to deal some damage. The Interstellar Beast's attacks were controlling objects with its mind, similar to Psychic. It was good at disabling enemies and could redirect the ballistics aimed at its vital spot. The good thing was that its damage was not very high. The only way to defeat it was to take it slow.
However, to Han Xiao, as long as the enemy's damage was limited, it would not be a threat.
