Chapter 237: Beast Annihilator (1/2)

“Huge battles have repeatedly taken place on Planet Conan, and there are still undispersed clumps of various unstable energies in the atmosphere. Gadgets are temporarily unusable.”

Shui Chuanxiao felt helpless, and he could only look at the screen.

After a while, Yao Gu left without battling Wen Sansi. The female deputy finally relaxed. Yao Gu and Wen Sansi were both technically still members of the younger generation, but their combat power was too terrifying. If they battled, then the entire border defense would be in trouble. If their fight ended up implicating more combatants from the Skymender List or the Ten Arbiters, then it would become even more difficult to protect the border. It was even possible for their defenses to be permanently ruined.

“Go all out to find Lu Yin. Also, remain vigilant against anybody who could be controlled. I must find out the positions of those strange astral beasts.”

“Yes, commander.”

Lu Yin had guessed correctly; he was indeed still on Planet Conan but at a rather considerable distance from his previous position.

The Void Wanderer had originally intended on entering the Astral Beast Domain through a single spatial jump, but it had been interrupted by Lu Yin. Although they had only spent an instant in the void, that already moved them a great distance from their previous position.

Planet Conan was a thousand times larger than Earth, so even a slight deviation in location could mean a difference that greatly exceeded Earth’s diameter.

Lu Yin walked across the desolate ground, unable to find a single trace of green between the yellow sand and the dusty sky.

Occasionally, he ran across some strange astral beasts. He did not know if they were native creatures from Planet Conan or cannon fodder that a Void Wanderer had brought along.

He looked at his gadget, but there was still no signal. He still couldn’t calculate his position.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yin noticed a spacecraft slowly moving across the sky. Lu Yin was delighted and about to ascend to meet it, but then, an angry bellow sounded out as a giant astral beast flew out of the ground and bit the spacecraft, splitting it in half. There was an intense explosion and most of the people inside died instantly.

Lu Yin was furious, and raised a palm to strike the astral beast. Although it was huge, it was only at the level of a Limiteer and was easily struck dead by Lu Yin. Unfortunately, the spacecraft had been completely destroyed, and there were no survivors.

It had only been a small patrolling spacecraft with a few people in it, and it was unable to survive any sneak attacks.

Despite the fact that he could not find any human bases, the appearance of such a spacecraft meant that there was a base not too far away from him, as even the distant regions would be patrolled by the bases. There should also be some more troops arriving soon to investigate this area.

Lu Yin did not plan to leave, and he patiently waited beside the spacecraft’s wreckage.

However, a full day passed by without any change. Lu Yin found it strange. Logically, if this area was truly within the scope of a base’s patrols, then he should have run into some soldiers by now, but there had been nothing. He looked at the direction that the ruined spacecraft was facing and remembered that it had seemed to be flying towards the west. He would try his luck.

He did not have to walk very far before the metallic stench of blood hit him. Lu Yin’s face changed, and he immediately used Flash to streak through the void. He reappeared hundreds of kilometers away, where he saw an endless blanket of astral beast corpses lying on the ground, as well as dead human soldiers. Most of the bodies had been mutilated beyond recognition.

Lu Yin’s expression became even uglier. A battle had just occurred here, and the human soldiers had nearly been wiped out, with the surviving humans having been carried off by the remaining astral beasts for food. The footprints led further west.

Intelligent astral beasts would not eat humans while non-intelligent beasts would only feast on living humans, avoiding the dead. If some humans had really been taken away as food, then they must still be alive.

Lu Yin did not hesitate to continue pursuing the footprints to the west. He was not always a good samaritan, but he could not bear to let his fellow humans be eaten alive by astral beasts if he could help it.

The jumbled set of footprints stretched off far into the west. After this fierce battle between the astral beasts and humans, the beasts were most likely unable to leave because the humans would have destroyed all the Void Wanderers first, leaving the beasts without any way to escape after they arrived. Only some of the stronger astral beasts would carry personal Void Wanderers along with them and be able to escape, while the remaining astral beasts would be forced to roam Planet Conan and continue fighting against the humans.

There were many wandering astral beasts on Planet Conan, and some had even banded together to launch attacks on humans. The entirety of Planet Conan was a battlefield, and the indigenous creatures had all perished already.

The footprints reached all the way to the bottom of a yellow mountain before they vanished. Lu Yin investigated the site some more and confirmed that the astral beasts had moved underground. Right when he was about to head into the tunnel, the yellow mountain before him suddenly swayed. It actually turned around, revealing itself to be a towering astral beast right before Lu Yin’s eyes, and there were countless droves of astral beasts that could be seen on it. They all stared at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s hair stood on end as countless astral beasts stared at him; his entire body trembled.

The enormous, towering astral beast swatted at Lu Yin.

It was extremely large, but it was just a Limiteer. Still, it was not much easier to deal with than Zi Tie. Any of Lu Yin’s attacks against the beast would likely have a very limited effect due to its sheer size. No matter how large the scope of Lu Yin’s attacks were, it would likely be a bruise to the massive body at worst.
