Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Su Wan in Trouble?
Su Wan’s lips twitched, "I’m not unable to walk, alright, you go ahead and clear the way for me, Alex, you and Xiao’an stay behind to cover the rear, always paying attention to the surroundings."
"Yes."
Su Wan walked in the very center, her thoughts momentarily complex.
But what prevailed was a touch of joy.
How miraculous, another little life had come into being, the fruit of her love with Ajue.
In her heart, she tenderly thought: My little one, you must be strong like your brother, don’t disturb mommy during the assessment, okay?
The gesture Su Wan made when she touched her abdomen was very subtle, so much so that not even the people around her noticed it.
But on the screen in front of him, Gu Jue saw it!
He immediately narrowed his eyes and turned to walk outside.
Eric was taken aback, just as he was about to speak up, Li Rui stopped him.
Realizing belatedly, Eric said, "Is Commander Gu worried about Su Wan?"
Li Rui: "Now that you know, keep your mouth shut and keep watching."
Eric sheepishly turned back to the screen to watch Team Nine.
He said, "Commander Gu better hurry up, any later and Su Wan’s team will have cleared the level."
Indeed, no sooner had he spoken than a cracking sound came from the ice under the feet of Su Wan’s team!
Fortunately, the members of Team Nine were on high alert.
Each of them promptly jumped onto a large piece of floating ice and did not fall into the water.
But this was only the beginning!
Su Wan squinted her eyes, "Now, everyone run forward together, Pandora, Alex, you stay back with me, don’t get entangled, push ahead!"
Their mission was to get through this area quickly.
If they were swept away by the Star Beasts in the water, they would be deemed to have failed!
Lin Yu was very concerned about Su Wan, but he knew that staying behind would slow down the team.
He had to run fast, reach the endpoint, and then he could provide a clear target for his teammates following behind!
Lin Yu, leading the medic with lower combat ability, Qiao, hurried forward.
Meanwhile, Su Wan leaped up, striking at a Flying Fish Beast swimming towards her with her knife.
Alex, fighting, asked, "Captain, can we eat these fish?"
Su Wan: "We can eat them, but they’re bony, best deep-fried."
Alex cut down another larger Flying Fish Beast and asked, "Can’t we just slap on some sauce and grill it?"
Su Wan: "That’s not impossible, but their skin is too thick, they need to be grilled longer."
Elsewhere, Pandora, also holding her ground, actually asked Su Wan seriously, "Captain, should we capture some alive to grill and eat later?"
The Flying Fish Beasts with snarling faces and ferocious expressions: ...
Were they here for an assessment or a picnic?
That was too much for fish to bear!
If these Flying Fish Beasts knew that many Star Beasts had already been eaten by this team.
Perhaps they would find some solace.
Although there were many Flying Fish Beasts, they were easily dealt with as long as reactions were quick.
The main concern was still the breaking floating ice under their feet.
Looking at the red and white raw fish flesh, Su Wan felt her hunger intensifying, even though the meat was raw.
Until once, a Flying Fish Beast darted straight at her face!
At that moment, Su Wan’s knife was still embedded in another Flying Fish Beast.
Su Wan then caught the Flying Fish Beast with her bare hands.
The beast bared its sharp teeth, hissing ferociously at Su Wan.
Then, it saw Su Wan licking her lips.
Flying Fish Beast: ???
A voice echoed in Su Wan’s mind.
So hungry.
Really want to eat.
Desperate to devour a lot of fish...
Just then, Lin Yu, with his teammates’ support, had already planted his foot on solid ground!
Behind him was a vibrant green and many Star Warriors in battle suits.
That was the endpoint!
Lin Yu, filled with joy, picked up the Photon Cannon and fired at the Flying Fish Beasts attacking his teammates.
He shouted loudly, "Everyone hurry up, the finish line is just ahead!"
Here, Qiao fell behind by a few steps and almost tumbled into the water.
Fortunately, Sheng An was quick and agile, flying over to pull the person up.
On the other side, Bai Qi and a few other team members were also about to reach the shore.
Then came the three members responsible for bringing up the rear.
Pandora turned around and found that Su Wan had actually fallen behind, and the ice floes beneath their feet were getting smaller and smaller.
And the water’s surface, mixed with the corpses of Flying Fish Beasts, began to ripple with waves.
A big one was coming!
"Commander! What’s wrong with you?"
Pandora leaped beside Su Wan, her eyes full of concern.
It was then that Su Wan snapped out of it.
Strange.
She had just heard another voice inside her body.
It had been constantly shouting ’hungry’.
Su Wan looked up and saw the shore not far away.
Most of her companions had already reached the shore, which eased her mind a bit.
Su Wan was just about to tell Pandora that they should go too,
when she suddenly noticed a huge Kun Beast had unconsciously appeared behind Pandora!
This Kun Beast wasn’t like the giant fish from the ancient texts, from Beiming.
But it certainly was a super-sized fish!
This kind of fish was practically invincible in the water, feared by any other fish Star Beasts.
In addition to its size, it had sharp teeth, and the most important trait, this creature ate anything!
It was rumored before to have even swallowed a flying vehicle.
Facing such a big-mouthed creature that eats anything, could other fish Star Beasts not fear it?
Because it was so close, Su Wan even saw between the Kun Beast’s teeth, where a few live Flying Fish Beasts were stuck, wriggling...
She only had time to push Pandora away quickly and draw her dagger.
The next moment, she was swallowed whole by the Kun Beast!
Pandora fell into the water but quickly struggled to climb onto an ice floe, looking somewhat dazed.
But the others on the shore, after witnessing this spectacle, were utterly flabbergasted!
"Commander!"
"Xiaowan!"
Gu Jue, who had just arrived, saw this scene, his pupils shrank, and he sprinted over immediately!
The safety officers moved too, but none of them were as fast as Gu Jue.
The members of Ninth Squad, who had just reached the shore or were about to, also jumped into the water like maniacs!
Pandora, belatedly realizing what happened, reddened with rage and dove back into the water.
However, the Kun Beast was too huge and swam too quickly.
The people swimming in the water simply couldn’t catch up.
Gu Jue instantly summoned the Azure Dragon, and as the gigantic Mecha transformed, the sound of the dragon’s roar echoed across the entire icy water region.
All the other Flying Fish Beasts were terrified and sank to the bottom.
Wanwan...
Just as Gu Jue’s eyes turned bloodshot, to the point that he was about to let Azure Dragon destroy the entire icy water region,
the Kun Beast, which had originally fled, slowly surfaced.
Sitting cross-legged on its round head was the very anxious Su Wan, cursing under her breath.
Everyone: ???
Azure Dragon was stunned too, but it still flew closer.
That way, its master, standing on its dragon head, could clearly hear what his wife was saying.
After getting closer...
Su Wan: "Don’t you know you have bad breath? Dammit, now I smell awful!"
Su Wan: "You’re dead meat! I’ve decided to cook your flesh in forty-nine different ways—fried, sautéed, grilled, boiled!"
Kun Beast: o(╥﹏╥)o
