Chapter 208: Chapter 118 Desperate Situation (Part One) Chapter 208: Chapter 118 Desperate Situation (Part One) Looking back, the spaceship was now but a black dot.
And before him, not a single winged beast remained.
His friends were safe.
Sigh~
Mu Fan, holding an alloy staff with one hand, sat cross-legged on the back of the beast and decided to send out a distress signal.
But…
As Mu Fan raised his head, his keen intuition already made him instinctively sense something was amiss.
Was danger approaching?
His heart thudded loudly.
Then Mu Fan saw several thick black beams of light piercing the sky, and the large warship hanging in the high sky was also penetrated by these black pillars.
These were energy weapons!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Countless bursts of flame erupted from the warship in the sky, and four out of the eight large engines that maintained its floating stability were destroyed in an instant.
The brilliant flames lit up the sky.
The Colonel inside the warship stumbled, crashing into a nearby control panel.
The piercing alarm and red lights spread throughout the ship.
“What’s happening?!”
“Engines damaged by 50%, energy shield down by 30%, sir, we must make an emergency landing!!”
“Order given, the entire ship to make an emergency landing!!”
The huge warship began to tilt slowly, descending from the high sky at a relatively gentle angle.
As Mu Fan watched this scene unfold before him, a black beam of light suddenly flashed from his right, narrowly missing him.
Then he felt the beast beneath him losing balance.
The winged beast let out a painful scream; the pain was far beyond that of the alloy staff piercing its back, for just after the light had flashed, half of its left wing had disappeared without a trace, even the wounds were cauterized shut by the high temperature.
But it wasn’t over yet, those sky-piercing beams of light seemed to act as a trigger, and the next instant, the sky was riddled with interweaving beams.
The large warship trying to descend on four engines was pierced by countless beams.
It exploded mid-air.
Clutching onto the unsteady, falling winged beast, Mu Fan witnessed this horrific scene.
Aside from a few fighters that had not yet returned and took advantage of their smaller size to escape the catastrophe, only a few escape pods were launched from the warship.
Exploding metal fragments and ship wreckage continuously flew past him.
Mu Fan exerted all his strength to control his balance and then looked down.
Below was a spherical monster, covered with sharp spines, and its size was comparable to that of a football field.
The size of the monster was clear to see from high in the sky!
Mu Fan gasped in shock.
Because many of the monster’s densely packed tentacles were flashing with black light.
Suddenly, Mu Fan jerked his head up to look towards the private ship that was about to vanish in the distance.
His eyes suddenly widened!
The “Dark Breath” state was lifted.
The already damaged ship was moving at less than a third of its usual flight speed.
Its escape to such a distance during his battle had already exceeded his expectations.
But what was supposed to be a certain situation was directly disrupted by an energy beam that shot diagonally from the ground to a thousand meters high!
At that moment, the hairs on Mu Fan’s back stood up because he was afraid, afraid that the next second he would see the ship explode high in the sky.
He was afraid that his friends were about to leave him!
The goddess of fortune was on his side, as the black light flashed by, only a small burst of flame lit up from the tail, and then the ship began to descend.
The speed of the descent suggested it was not a complete loss or crash; they could still control the ship!
“Hold on!!!
You must be okay!” Mu Fan gripped the metal pole that had pierced the back of the Winged Beast and twisted it viciously.
The Winged Beast, pained, began to flap its half-wing and miraculously leaped forward for a stretch.
The monster on the ground fired its beam indiscriminately, cleaning out all aerial forces, then started to move forward slowly.
The buildings in its path, still a hundred meters away, were crushed into dust by an overwhelming force.
The trail of this beast was littered with wreckage.
The remnants of military mecha had formed a huge chasm in the city.
This spherical giant beast had indeed cleared all the armed forces behind it.
“Black!!!
What on earth is this monster!!!”
The strong wind poured into Mu Fan’s mouth, but he still clenched his teeth and shouted.
His wristwatch vibrated, and Black’s voice quickly rang in his ear:
“SS-class catastrophic danger level, Ghostly Floating Beast.
We must escape, this is definitely not something that normal military forces can deal with!
It’s a creature known as a planet destroyer, an adult Ghostly Floating Beast has the power to destroy a small asteroid!”
“Mu Fan, we must escape quickly.
According to the data, there is an 8 to 10 minute interval between its Destruction Beams!”
Hearing Black’s words, Mu Fan didn’t reply immediately but instead, looking at the falling black dot in the distance, he bit his teeth and said, “I can’t retreat, I must get there!”
Mu Fan tilted forward in his descent; the pained Migola Winged Beast, as if facing a natural enemy, didn’t dare stay in the air any longer, not even caring about Mu Fan on its back, and desperately flapped its broken wings, plummeting forward…
After Mu Fan repeatedly adjusted the entry point and force of the alloy pole, the now wiser Winged Beast finally began to speed up in accordance with Mu Fan’s intentions.
It was a shaky flight, where a single misstep meant certain death.
Closer, closer.
Mu Fan saw himself getting closer to that black dot.
The altitude was dropping; the Winged Beast was showing signs of exhaustion.
…
On the private ship of Loki Heavy Industry, the entire cabin was now tilted at 60 degrees, and everyone had secured themselves to their seats, watching the sweat-drenched pilot exert every effort to control the ship.
“The ship has only one engine working now!
Below is a residential area; we need to make a forced landing immediately!”
“Then we go for the forced landing!
How far are we from the Base A now?” Wang Ji displayed the decisiveness and calm befitting of the head of a great house.
“The landing point is approximately…
2200 meters from the base!”
“Good, if we manage to land, everyone runs with all their might.” Wang Ji patted the armrest firmly and then looked at Wang Nuonuo with a kindly gaze, turning to speak to Wayne and his son:
“I have an impertinent request of you.”
Having themselves escaped on a ship from Loki Heavy Industry, Wayne, sitting next to Wang Ji, hastily said, “Mr.
Wang, what are you talking about!”
“If all goes well on the ground, it will be cause for celebration.”
Wang Nuonuo cast a questioning look at her grandfather, puzzled by his words.
The alarm within the cabin still sounded, with the altitude constantly changing.
2562 meters,
2231 meters,
1820 meters…
The adrenaline rush brought on by weightlessness couldn’t compete with the heartfelt words of Wang Ji at that moment.
“If things are bad on the ground, I hope you can take Nuonuo and escape; she is the only remaining bloodline of our Wang Family.”
Grandpa!
Wang Nuonuo’s eyes widened as she looked at her grandfather, her previous confusion, grievances, and slight resentment all melted away at that moment.
Wang Ji had accepted his fate.
