Chapter 1925 - 1518: Ambush
"Hmm, after I take it away, make sure you stay safe here. If anything feels off, evacuate immediately!"
Su Mo instructed with some concern.
"Don’t worry, we know what we’re doing."
Xiao Wen replied with a smile.
Su Mo stopped being polite and then controlled the mecha, landing on Xiao Lan. He spoke to Xiao Lan through Xiao Shi.
"Xiao Lan, help me deal with a bug."
Xiao Lan obediently nodded after hearing this.
"Alright, let’s go then!"
Su Mo gently patted its neck.
Xiao Lan made a sweet-sounding reply, then flapped its massive wings. Its huge body took off, carrying Su Mo straight into the sky.
Watching Xiao Lan’s enormous body, Su Mo remarked to Xiao Shi with a bit of sentiment.
"Xiao Shi, I feel that Xiao Lan has the aura to fight alone!"
"They’re monsters from the same mold, of course, there’s a fight to be had. Additionally, from a species perspective, Xiao Lan belongs to the Leviathan branch and has a better quality than the opponent. If it weren’t for that guy being embedded with a Negative God Fragment and the geographic environment of the Sand Sea, Xiao Lan alone would be enough to deal with it, and we would just need to watch the show."
The creator, the Swallower, replied with a deep voice.
"Makes sense!"
Su Mo nodded in response.
At this moment, Xiao Lan, carrying Su Mo, burst out of the Zero Degree Land, heading rapidly towards Ceres following Su Mo’s direction.
Along the way, monsters instinctively scattered at the sight of Xiao Lan.
Those who were really blind got torn to pieces as soon as they got close.
...
Ceres’ Dead Land outskirts.
Inside the command room of the Immortal Blade.
Tilo was constantly replaying battle records, carefully observing the battle of the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King, especially the part where it fled.
She kept watching it repeatedly.
At this time, Qian Chengxue walked up to Tilo, handing her a cup of coffee.
"Still researching, huh? You’ve worked hard. Have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."
Tilo hurriedly received it, politely replying to Qian Chengxue.
"Thank you, it’s what I should do."
"No need to be so formal. Have you discovered anything special?"
Qian Chengxue asked.
"Yes, look at this monster, its Stance Outerwear was just shattered, and its body suffered some injuries. It felt danger and retreated. At this point, its injuries weren’t serious, which shows that its instinct is quite cowardly!"
Tilo analyzed to Qian Chengxue.
"Makes sense, this makes it tricky."
Qian Chengxue also felt it was quite troublesome.
"But it’s not a complete loss. If we can hold it down, killing it forcefully shouldn’t be a big problem. The carapace defense on it is far inferior to the dragon-type Leviathan."
Tilo replied solemnly.
"That’s good. Now we just wait for Su Mo to return."
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.
"It probably won’t be that quick. Normally, a round trip should take a bit over a month."
....
Just as Tilo and Qian Chengxue were chatting, Long Ke suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Quick, look at the sky!"
Tilo and the others quickly looked up at the sky through optical instruments.
They saw the thick cloud layers in the sky being torn open, the VI-type Lord-level, dragon-type Leviathan, descending aggressively with Mad Eye Rhenhok.
"Su Mo is back!"
Qian Chengxue and the others shouted excitedly.
As Xiao Lan approached, Su Mo’s communication request popped up.
Tilo immediately connected it.
Su Mo’s virtual image appeared, and he said to Tilo and the others, "I brought Xiao Lan; we can prepare to act now."
"Lord Su Mo, first let Xiao Lan hide. If it enters the battle with that momentum right away, the opponent might just get scared off, and that would be big trouble."
Tilo suggested with a smile.
"Makes sense, no problem with that. But are you sure we can get that creature to come out now?"
Su Mo thought for a moment, realizing it made sense.
"Rest assured, I have a special method prepared to definitely lure it out."
Tilo replied confidently.
"Alright!"
Seeing Tilo’s certainty, Su Mo also felt reassured. In fact, his biggest worry now was the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King, curling up like a turtle, which would be problematic.
"Then I’ll start taking action. Lord Su Mo, you and Xiao Lan hide first, and when we lure the monster out, that’s when you make your move."
Tilo instructed.
"Okay, no problem."
"By the way, there’s one more thing I need to remind you. That monster’s instinct is unusually cowardly, so after its AT Stance Outerwear is torn, if it’s injured, it might try to escape. You and Xiao Lan need to pay special attention and not let it succeed."
Tilo reminded with some concern.
"No problem."
Su Mo replied cleanly and efficiently.
After Tilo finished briefing, she controlled the Legendary Level Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade, to ascend in height, then quietly approached the target’s hiding area.
"Enter the designated area!"
Long Ke reported.
"Prepare all personnel for battle."
Tilo ordered!
"Yes!"
Long Ke replied straightforwardly.
Soon, Qian Chengxue, Kendi, and others controlled their mechas, flying out from the ship and spreading out in the air, ready for battle.
At this moment, Su Mo watched from afar, sitting on Xiao Lan’s back, feeling curious about how Tilo would bait the target out with certainty.
At this time, Immortal Blade opened a special throwing port.
In an instant, red liquid like a waterfall gushed out, and the air was filled with a strong bloody scent.
The blood rained down on the Sand Sea, staining the entire area red.
Seeing this, Su Mo was slightly taken aback.
The creator, the Swallower, spoke in a deep voice, "Ingenious maneuver, knowingly employing wit. That creature will definitely lose its sanity and crawl out. After all, its instinctual thirst for blood is one of its biological traits. Prepare for battle."
"Alright!"
Su Mo smiled wryly, realizing that with so much blood, the entire team would be quite busy.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the entire Sand Sea to boil again.
"It’s moving, it’s moving!"
Sun Duoxiang shouted excitedly.
"Don’t make a move yet; wait until it’s completely out."
Tilo instructed the group with a lot of composure.
"Alrighty!"
The group responded one after another.
"And one more thing, once it emerges, it’s up to you all to hold it down. The Immortal Blade will not engage immediately with fierce attacks to avoid scaring it off."
Tilo reminded with a solemn tone.
"No problem."
Qian Chengxue and others responded in unison.
At this moment, the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King, emerged once more from the rolling Sand Sea. Its eyes were intensely blood-red, seemingly losing its sanity due to the strong smell of blood.
At this time, Tilo commanded the group.
"Go!"
Qian Chengxue and the others immediately controlled their mechas to approach from all directions, launching long-distance attacks.
Beams of light hit the Stance Outerwear of the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King.
BOOM!
Massive explosions erupted continuously.
Since the degree of attack was still within its tolerance, the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King, didn’t flee but only got enraged.
It opened its mouth in fury, gathering a terrifying beam of light, then swept it across.
Qian Chengxue and the others swiftly evaded, dodged the attack, and launched close-range attacks.
Seeing this, the VI-type Lord-level alien species, the Ghost-Faced Scorpion King, once again unfurled its Stance Barrier, absorbing all the attacks, then frantically swung its tail.
In the distance, in the sky, Su Mo and Xiao Lan watched the battle quietly. At this moment, Xiao Lan was somewhat eager to join the fight.
Seeing this, Su Mo softly calmed it down.
"There’s no rush, let them fight for a while; we’ll go in later!"
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Xiao Lan settled down.
At this moment, Su Mo glanced at the Immortal Blade in the sky. Tilo still hadn’t launched an attack and was building up power, awaiting the opportune moment.
For now, Su Mo suppressed his inner excitement, as the success or failure of this endeavor was crucial to him.
