Chapter 734: Chapter 507: Alien Race Evil Creatures
“Ofler, has Ganmo Star been recently troubled?”
Just after sitting down, Shentu Yunxiao naturally started a conversation with the person next to him.
Then the few people beside him naturally sat down as well; they hadn’t figured out Shentu Yunxiao’s purpose, but seeing his confidence, they didn’t ask further.
A burly man with red hair and an earring in his right ear was the one Shentu Yunxiao was addressing as Ofler.
Upon hearing this, he expressed his surprise, “Ganmo Star is more than a light-year away from your Shentu family, isn’t it? That you could know such news, no wonder you’re able to represent the Shentu family.”
“That’s right, it indeed has not been very peaceful, and the factors involved are not something human forces can contend with. This information has been very tightly sealed; how did you come to know of this, Yunxiao?”
The doubt on Ofler’s face was evident; he had thought he would just need to play along, but he hadn’t expected Shentu Yunxiao to directly point out the secret of Ofler’s own family clan. This was beyond his expectations, yet he still harbored a sliver of hope.
“You know, it’s not just your enemies you’re fighting against. These evil alien creatures, why not ally with a few more families?”
Shentu Yunxiao’s face shone with confidence, causing the young people who had followed to look at each other with confusion and speculation.
Was the situation not as they had imagined? Could this actually be true?
What exactly was Shentu Yunxiao’s calculation?
But since they had already come this far, they might as well continue to go along with it.
Mu Fan, however, keenly noticed a slight tremble in the glass of water held by Lu Qingxue when the term “evil alien creatures” was mentioned.
Could Senior Sister also be paying attention to this information?
Mu Fan found it quite interesting, so he continued to calmly drink his juice, listening to the conversation among them.
Ofler laughed it off, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Yunxiao.”
“Zeg Clan, you understand now, don’t you?”
Shentu Yunxiao said with a smile, and Ofler’s expression turned to horror, and this time it definitely wasn’t feigned.
Because the intelligence regarding the Zeg Clan had only been disguised as information from another power.
He hadn’t expected to be exposed by his own people on the spot.
“How did you come to know of this!”
“The Shentu family naturally has its own channels of information. Now we can really discuss this cosmic entity that comes from the depths of space, can’t we?”
In this small group, when the word “Zeg” was mentioned, some people showed surprise in their eyes, while others were completely clueless.
Meanwhile, Mu Fan was still bent over his juice, using it as cover to mask the odd look in his eyes.
So the evil alien creatures in the conversation were those worms…
But thinking about it, it was quite fitting; those worms were really bizarre.
However, at the moment, Lu Qingxue sitting across from Mu Fan sat up straight, her gaze strangely shifting in that direction.
This movement caught Mu Fan’s attention even more, filling him with curiosity. Could she also be interested in these creatures?
But when he had accompanied the Tiger Hunting Team on a mission, the information they exchanged was very clear—these creatures moved in small numbers along the border regions and hadn’t caught the attention of the Federation.
So what was going on now?
It had to be said that Shentu Yunxiao’s angle of approach to this topic was truly subtle.
Mu Fan needed to exchange information, conveniently exactly about “the intelligence concerning extraterrestrial forces from the Outer Domain Galaxy.”
“Ofler, your family takes these creatures far too seriously. Those scattered species, it’s unknown through which biological parasitic method they arrived on the surface of the planet to reproduce. Just using an army of Mechas would suffice to sweep them clean, yet you treat these creatures as if they are earth-shattering secrets.”
Ofler opened his mouth wide, “Yunxiao, how can you speak as though you’ve witnessed it firsthand? We indeed found traces of these creatures on our family’s colonial star. If they hadn’t successively destroyed several large space greenhouses, we wouldn’t have even known about their existence.”
“What are these Zeg you speak of?” A young man in a suit and leather shoes appeared completely bewildered.
Ofler looked at this companion, “Colin, it’s a species similar to wild dogs in terms of organization, very aggressive, and they live in packs. Our Guard Team has lost three entire squads to them, amounting to over one hundred and sixty people!”
“They possess a strong ability for concealment and tend to emerge from forests, caves, and swamps, having strength that is surprisingly great. Those reddish-brown limbs can easily pierce through human protective gear. I’ve seen people killed by these Zeg… it’s utterly disgusting…”
“What about the Guard’s guns?”
“Don’t get me started. The team members were all armed with electromagnetic Pulse Rifles. Solid bullets are practically useless against these monsters, often requiring more than ten shots at the same spot to potentially penetrate their carapace. It turns out the most effective method is to target their limbs.”
Thinking back to that scene turned Ofler’s stomach. That yellow and green ooze mixed with human blood spread all over the ground.
Shaking his head, Ofler said with some frustration: “The family was caught off-guard by these Zeg. Twelve space greenhouses were destroyed, and just the losses of the crops inside have exceeded seven hundred million Star Coins!”
Shentu Yunxiao spoke up, “Have you encountered a spider-like creature, with a diameter of around two meters?”
Hearing this, Mu Fan’s expression grew even more peculiar. Weren’t those Guard? If those are considered large creatures, then what about the Tiger Worm, Warrior, Stalker, Plasma Worm, not to mention the Corruptor as big as a mountain that I’m worried about how to deal with.
However, since he was just an observer and Lu Qingxue seemed to be listening attentively, Mu Fan remained calm and continued to listen.
Ofler shook his head, “We’re already troubled by these Zeg that are only about half a meter in diameter, and the radars can barely detect them. It’s downright impossible to find these accursed bugs most of the time.”
Here, Shentu Yunxiao chuckled, “You should be grateful you didn’t encounter a Guard. These creatures move faster than off-road vehicles and their sharp claws can penetrate steel plates with ease. If they amass in significant numbers, even Mechas are hard-pressed to defend.”
“Guard?”
“Yes, that is the official term scholars have for these alien species, which has been accepted by most factions. Above those, we have yet to see the more advanced Tiger Worms.”
“Are you saying I got lucky?”
…
Shentu Yunxiao, who spoke freely and easily, quickly became the center of everyone’s attention.
This debonair young noble captured the crowd with his humorous and witty language as he delved into an in-depth analysis of Zeg, which, to Mu Fan, seemed rather rudimentary. His vivid description prompted gasps from time to time among the audience.
Moreover, others began to gather around on their own.
Because the depth of the content discussed with such ease far surpassed the norm, it was as if someone was sharing intelligence freely here.
Soon, with Shentu Yunxiao at the center, the topic began to unfold energetically.
They analyzed the Zeg’s habits, speculated about alien planets, and discussed the threat these creatures posed to humanity.
Mu Fan saw that Lu Qingxue, who initially appeared indifferent, sipping her tea, was now listening intently.
When the group chatted about which planets might harbor such species and the potential future trends of the Zeg, Shentu Yunxiao suddenly stopped speaking.
The engrossed onlookers urged him to continue.
Yet unexpectedly, the handsome worldly man looked toward the side of the room.
“I see that Miss Lu seems to have quite an interest in these alien Zeg creatures?”
