Chapter 342: Super Space Hive (2/2)
”Haha, don't even bother yourself trying to figure it out. He says that gibberish all the time” Kyaero announced with a broad smile.
Wang Tong scanned the clamorous mob at the town square; he could feel their swelling enthusiasm and vibrating vigor. All of them had been waiting for this day for too long.
Suddenly, a presence of a strong force drew away Wang Tong's attention. As Wang Tong sought the source of the power, the din of the world around him seemed to have disappeared altogether. Wang Tong was not the only one who had felt the sudden insurgence of the powerful presence, as Zhang Buyu had also felt the power hijack his senses. He paused and started to scan his surroundings.
”What's up, Brother Zhang?” Yao Bai asked.
Zhang Buyu's face remained stoic, ”Someone is watching us. Not Li Shiming though, it is someone perhaps even stronger than Li Shiming.”
”Master had warned us about potential tough opponents hidden among the people. Maybe this it?” Ye Kai speculated.
”Don't take master's words literally. He was just warning us not to overlook any opponent.”
”I have probed all the fighters here who were on the same level as us, but I still couldn't locate the source of the energy I am getting.” Zhang Buyue announced.
”Bahh! It's difficult… Too many people here. Anyhow, you two stay low… Remember what master had said.”
”Roger that!”
Meanwhile, Wang Tong was elated by the powerful presence; it was just another lab rat for him to test his new techniques.
”Well, since we are here at Yalen, we might as well enjoy the S-Class environment. ”
”Agreed!”
Except for Wang Tong and Hu Yangxuan, none of the Ayrlarng's students had high hopes for the outcome of their matches. Being able to join the playoff matches on the moon would be their greatest achievements.
Wang Tong wasn't bothered by Li Ruoer's presence, since he had long since forgiven her for helping Ma Xiaoru. Based on his experience of fighting against Li Ruoer, Wang Tong was confident that she would do well in this year's tournament.
After team Ayrlarng had loitered in the Yalen's campus for a while, everyone received a message containing the details of the planet-wide qualification matches.
To minimize unnecessary injuries, the qualification match would take place in the virtual space in three days. The email didn't reveal any details, but everyone wagered that it would be a combination of combats and survival tests.
Meanwhile, in the outer space, a spaceship from the Andromeda Galaxy had entered warp space. Aboard the ship were METAL figures, who were on their way to the tournament.
”Captain, two more hours till we reach the solar system.”
”Slow it down.”
”Yes, captain.”
The spaceship glided slowly across a backdrop of countless stars. The ship seemed like a grain of sand in the desert.
As the ship was about to exit the hyperspeed, a dark shadow loomed in front of it. The alarm on the ship went off, warning the passengers of the encroaching danger. The ship had nothing to defend itself, and was soon engulfed by the dark shadow.
Slowly, the shadow exited the hyper speed and emerged from the warp space; it was an enormous creature that was half machine and half flesh.
A Space Hive!
No one had seen a Zerg Space Hive so hideous in its design and so vast in its size. It hovered in the dark space, as a green light glowed from inside its half translucent substance. After a while, the belly of the space hive convulsed, and from its rear end, the ship was pushed out like a newborn infant.
The space hive convulsed more violently and opened up a portal in front of it. The glowing space hive quickly went through the gaping hole before the portable closed itself.
Such was the power of the Zerg's continuous evolution… It had defied all human knowledge, and made space travel possible for carbon-based living organisms.
The human ship went on its journey as if nothing had happened.
Three days later, the qualification test had officially started at Yalen.
