Chapter 1353: Chapter 1337: Dark Forest
The passive counterattack energy of the spaceship’s Defense Light Screen is powerful, almost resembling the combat power of an Empire Level Advanced Realm Genetic Evolver,
but when the Monster was hit by the strong electric current of the Defense Light Screen, it was merely pushed back and not killed instantly,
which surprised Yang Xiao and the others.
Dozens of purple beams attacked the spaceship, striking the Defense Light Screen and emitting dazzling light with a loud hum.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Yang Xiao commanded loudly through the microphone.
In an instant, a dozen staff in the spaceship’s weapons control room pressed the attack buttons, sending dozens of High-Energy Laser Cannon blasts tearing through the sky, targeting the three-headed Monsters.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Dozens of High-Energy Laser Cannon shots reached the Monsters, exploding directly in front of them.
The Monsters, not to be trifled with, immediately activated their Defense Light Screen upon seeing the laser attacks, enveloping themselves in clusters of purple light.
However, the spaceship’s High-Energy Laser Cannon’s power was immense, reaching the peak of the Empire Level Realm. Dozens of lasers exploded in an instant, creating a powerful shockwave.
Six Monsters were killed on the spot, while several other Demon Beasts were thrown dozens of meters away.
"Don’t hold back, kill them all, activate the Superpower Laser Cannon."
Yang Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The response from the weapons control room echoed through the broadcast.
In an instant, a laser beam ten times brighter than before soared through the sky, bombarding the retreating area of the several Demon Beasts.
"Boom!"
Amid a thunderous noise, the numerous Demon Beasts exploded into pieces, nearby rocks splattered, and the powerful shockwave rebounded onto the spaceship, causing it to shake.
The power of this Superpower Laser Cannon is akin to an Emperor Level Realm Evolver.
Furthermore, the maximum power could extend to Intermediate Emperor Level Transcendent Realm.
After three consecutive shots of the Superpower Laser Cannon, the entire valley fell silent, and the scores of three-headed Demon Beasts were completely destroyed.
Yang Xiao and the others carefully observed the outside situation through the spaceship’s monitors, confirming no more Demon Beasts nearby, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fan Chen said,
"I didn’t expect, encountering these dozens of Demon Beasts, their Evolution Levels would be Empire Level Advanced Realm, this Dwarf Star is truly dangerous."
Yang Xiao nodded,
"The Dwarf Stars have attacked Witch Star three times, sending warriors of Empire Level Advanced Realm Evolvers, with dozens, hundreds of Emperor Level Realm leaders, showing the unusual strength of the Dwarf Star.
We will split into two shifts at night for vigilance, and everyone will take turns resting, be sure to remain cautious."
The next morning, Yang Xiao awoke and saw through the spaceship window the sunlight streaming in from outside.
A distant view reveals the vast forest where they landed, seemingly endless.
The trees on the valley outskirts are over a hundred meters tall, and occasionally birds in the sky and beasts on the ground, all enormous in size, can be seen.
Fan Chen approached and reported to Yang Xiao,
"Boss, aside from last night’s large-scale attack, we encountered more than twenty minor disturbances, all single Monster attacks with little threat,
Most Monsters were resolved by the passive attack system of the Defense Light Screen, a few received a couple of laser cannon shots and were sorted out."
"Good, as long as it’s safe. After breakfast, let’s arrange the tasks."
After the hundred or so people on the spaceship had breakfast, Yang Xiao began assigning new tasks.
"Fan Chen, you hold the spaceship’s fort, I’ll take twenty guards, each piloting a small warship, to patrol around the spaceship, survey the external environment, and eliminate nearby Monster threats."
"Boss, ensure your safety."
"Don’t worry."
Yang Xiao, along with twenty warriors, boarded small warships.
Fan Chen commanded the transport ship’s doors to open, and Yang Xiao piloted the warship out of the transport ship’s cabin, flying into the sky.
Shortly after, twenty small warships flew out, surrounding the transport ship.
These small warships, with limited combat power, even at maximum laser cannon energy, could only reach combat power equivalent to Empire Level Advanced Realm.
Yang Xiao piloted a warship around the valley twice, finding the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the mountains several hundred meters high and a creek within.
The valley floor was hard rock, flat, with few large trees apart from some small vegetation.
Outside the valley entrance, there lay giant tree forests over a hundred meters tall.
Yang Xiao led the group flying high above the valley, beyond the peak of Shan Feng.
At high altitude, overlooking the entire forest, the forest and distant mountains stretch endlessly, seemingly connecting to the horizon.
A giant bird with a hundred-meter wingspan flew over Yang Xiao’s warship, screeched, and a fiery flame roared towards Yang Xiao’s warship.
"Damn!"
Yang Xiao maneuvered the warship to dodge urgently, simultaneously firing dozens of laser cannon shots at the giant bird without hesitation.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Amid dozens of explosions, the enormous bird screamed, its massive body falling from the sky and crashing into the nearby forest.
Yang Xiao led the fleet around the forest area tens of kilometers from the valley, confirming this was a remote, uninhabited Primitive Forest.
Yang Xiao and the others returned to the spaceship for a meeting attended by all personnel.
Yang Xiao opened a three-dimensional map, gradually enlarging a specific area, and pointed out a spot on the map,
"Everyone look at this map, given to me by Elder Gu Bo, it was also stolen from here by our people on Dwarf Star and delivered to Gu Bo.
Based on the map, we should be at this location, this forest is called the Dark Forest, we’re in a small valley here."
Yang Xiao and Fan Chen, along with others, spent considerable time studying this map on the spaceship.
Gu Bo had Elder Liang Bao deliver the map to Yang Xiao, leading to Yang Xiao’s ongoing research on Dwarf Star maps, particularly the Central Continent.
Landing at this site was a result of Yang Xiao and Fan Chen’s numerous discussions earlier.
"Look here,"
Yang Xiao pointed to a castle symbol on the map.
"This site is a city called Desperate Castle, with a population of about 400-500 thousand. Cities like this exist across the Central Continent numbering hundreds, and here lies an outpost of ours from Witch Star, which is why I chose to land here,
We’re approximately 500 kilometers from the Desperate Castle, taking the flyer there, it could be quick in ten-plus minutes, slow within half an hour."
Fan Chen looked at Yang Xiao and said,
"Boss, are you considering flying to Desperate Castle from here?"
"There’s no need for you all to go; I can go alone."
Fan Chen hesitated and said,
"But how can that be, if you go alone, what happens if you encounter danger?"
Yang Xiao chuckled and said,
"My level is Emperor Level Transcendent Realm, if an enemy defeated by me cannot be handled by you all, how could you assist me?"
Fan Chen and the others listened, embarrassedly lowering their heads.
If Yang Xiao couldn’t defeat an opponent, then Fan Chen and the others would be powerless even with their utmost effort.
Yang Xiao patted Fan Chen on the shoulder, saying,
"I flew around in the air with the warship earlier, and there’s no end in sight within tens of kilometers; as the map suggests, the Dark Forest spans thousands of kilometers, rarely visited,
Fan Chen, you and the brothers remain on the spaceship, stay in the valley, protect the spaceship. Currently, the only tool to flee Dwarf Star in case of trouble is this spaceship, maintaining our sole escape route, don’t sever it."
Fan Chen understood the significance of safeguarding the spaceship.
"But, Boss, we genuinely feel uneasy about you going alone. Shouldn’t I bring a few people with me, accompanying you?"
"No need, I’m only relieved when you and others are guarding the spaceship, understand? In encounters with Demon Beasts, simply hide inside the spaceship and use the Superpower Laser Cannon for attacks; if too challenging, flee, and remember, this spaceship travels at thousand times light speed. We might not fight well, but we can still outrun them.
You must remember, this is presently our only spaceship to escape back to Purple Origin Star; the responsibility is enormous, okay?"
Fan Chen nodded,
"Rest assured, Boss, where I am, the spaceship will be!"
"Once I’ve entered the Desperate Castle, discovered the Witch Star people hidden within the castle, I will have them contact you."
Yang Xiao also gave some other instructions, then jumped into the air alone, disappearing with several Instantaneous Movements, flying towards the direction of Desperate Castle.
