Chapter 598: Heaven and Hell

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not the first time they entered purple gas cloud zone, yet Ye Chong still was affected by the intense atmosphere. It was rare to see him this tense. This was in contrast with the calm crew members, who would probably never understand what encounters their captain had on his first visit here. This was the place where Ye Chong met a 6-toed red-tailed beast and obviously it turned out to be a close battle that haunted him as if yesterday.

The purple cloud this time was a lot larger than the one on Planet Yi Ju before. And Ye Chong was very aware of how it went directly proportional to the size of the red-tailed beasts clan.

The war also raged on at the galaxy between planets. Be it the red-tailed beast or the Xue Lai clan, they were both having a hard time in the war. The Xue Lai clan had deployed their best soldiers armed with the classic beam firearms. It might be a classic model yet remained as lethal to the red-tailed beasts. It was only natural to Ye Chong as the Xue Lai clan had the most technological talents among all the 3 aristocratic families. I mean, even the consortium could produce an impeccable weapon like the G-Z.

However, the foes were not too weak either. So it remained as a difficult fight ahead for the Xue Lai clan.

Ye Chong's soulless eyes fixed upon the lively war-field, like a killer he was.

He was looking for a target.

He had just found one.

Darkniss then launched itself into the purple cloud.

Back at the main control room, a shooter was assigned to lead the way. The ship was dead silent, as the crew members kept their mouth shut and let the professional do the job.

”Target: Radius Vector at 25 degrees. FIRE!”

”32 degrees, NOW!”

The beams struck at the joints of the nest like lightning.

A large explosion occurred and the purple cloud nest had turned chaotic. Certainly it was the work of the highly compressive grenades. Not even the hardened joints of the nest could withstand the explosion.

The damage the grenades had caused was beyond Ye Chong's imagination. He watched the large area of the nest blowing up as a single grenade fell like a shooting star.

Darkniss eventually passed the purple cloud zone and hit the interior of the nest. ”Photon mode!” That was when Appilok noticed the effectiveness of these grenades on the tendrils.

The tendrils were turned into splashes of disgusting fluids. No sound was heard yet the explosions were convincingly epic. Fluids were discharged from the tumors of the tendrils and flooded the place.

The capability of the grenades was a joyful sight to the crew members. They had been long terrified by the horrendous-looking tumors which hung like a resting monstrosity. Ye Chong had to admit that there were more tumors compared to his adventure on Planet Yi Ju.

The tumors were the breeding chamber of the red-tailed beasts after all. There were at least 100,000 of them.

In the midst of explosion, Ye Chong was at first relieved, till he saw something ahead.

There were suddenly a pack of red-tailed beasts sprinting towards Darkniss, about a thousand of them. The grenades rained upon the red-tailed beasts, sending them backwards, yet not even a scratch could be seen on them, while they seemed to have been enraged.

Their previous victorious experience had them convinced that nothing was undefeatable as long as they launched their piercing tails together. They strongly believed that this giant piece of scrap would once again, like the other scraps they had destroyed before, be pierced into ashes.

They were given the light treatment again, as they turned blind for a moment. They were unperturbed however, as they had experienced similar occurrences before and they were unharmed in the end.

They evaded the attacks as usual and they were planning to make their attack.

SPRINT!

Wait...uhh...

Something felt strange on the neck...

Uhh...how...why is it getting darker...

I can't...feel my toes...My tail was...hitting something?

...(What actually happened?)...

Brahmara, also known as Siva, danced with its blade on the war-field, even though its grand debut had yet caused to turn the tables on the situation.

”Chief, we are not in a good situation now.” Reported an elderly.

A middle-aged woman nodded. She could see the situation as clear as the elderly. She was the chief whom the elderly was reporting to after all. Nonetheless, she could not think of a solid plan, not just yet. The war with the red-tailed beasts had lasted much longer than she had imagined. The situation of her clan had only worsened each day. Their territory had shrunk and the war with the red-tailed beasts had only grown larger.

This was the only planet left for them. It was such irony that an animal was able to corner them.

The Xue Lai clan, unlike the theoretical outcome due to their technological advancement, was actually the worst among the all 3 aristocrats.

Still, it was this stress of being cornered that had initiated their potential.

It was a retreating fight at first, as the Xue Lai clan army retreated from the vigorous attacks of the red-tailed beasts. They might be weak but they were sure tenacious, much more tenacious than the red-tailed beasts had expected. The retreating wave soon stood still and braced the attack well.

The chief continued watching the situation.

She had been a chief for over 20 years. Her days as a chief passed restlessly. She was ever-cautious, knowing her responsibilities. If she was given the choice, she would not have sat on this bed of rose. Unfortunately her sister disappeared one day out of sudden, so, being the sole heir she was, she had to hit the throne.
