Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 733: Section 728 - Above the Mucus

Chen Fei's father had caused quite a commotion, but Xiao Jiu, the Pure Light Sparrow, remained sound asleep in the survival chamber behind the Dragon Guard assault-type single soldier tactical armor. Not a single sound reached it.

The liquid inside the cylindrical space was extremely viscous, but floating up turned out to be quite an easy task.

A full-metal room, slightly smaller than the "Beehive" room they had just left, started to float upward slowly after detaching itself.

However, when it was less than a hundred meters from the liquid surface, Chen Fei felt an uneasy premonition.

This strange place probably wasn't as simple as it seemed. As soon as this thought occurred to him, his scalp involuntarily tightened.

His head hurt... that familiar sensation again! freewebnσvel.cøm

A Mental Shock!

Annoying!!!

"Jiu?"

The Little Bird also woke up startled around the same time, looking around in confusion.

The two leg rings on its tiny claws were still there, one of which was glowing faintly. Unlike Chen Fei's father, it didn't suffer a headache, and the psychic attack wasn't aimed at it.

Under normal circumstances, very few would pay attention to a Pure Light Sparrow, including the Extraterrestrial Races, but Xiao Jiu had been caught this time. Aside from its particularly conspicuous behavior that drew focused attention, Chen Fei's unexpected capture was the main factor. Otherwise, if it had been fully focused on escaping, catching it would not have been an easy task.

Even so, Chen Fei's wrist-worn Space System Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact had been removed, yet the captors still overlooked one of the professionally disguised ring-type (bracelet-type) Space System Alchemy Storage Magical Artifacts on Xiao Jiu's leg. This was probably an example of missing what's right under one's nose (two Space System Alchemy Storage Devices, what were they thinking?).

But in reality, there were three, the extravagance of which bordered on criminal.

What really troubled Chen Fei was not being trapped here, but how to explain to the Slan Royal Family, who had lent him the Bracelet-Type Alchemy Storage Spatial Device. The contents within weren't too important; the combat supplies had already been transferred to the "Spatial Branding" on the back of his hand, leaving only some spare living supplies, water, storage, tents, and other equipment, nothing of significant value.

Despite Chen Xiao'er's recently accumulated wealth, it was nowhere near enough to fill the immense capacity of the Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemy Storage Device.

It seemed the good days didn't last long. He was about to make a list of losses and felt as though he was about to backslide overnight, as if he was going to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Despite the Mental Shock during the ascent, Chen Fei had no intention of staying in the now murky pool of mucus which severely limited his combat ability. He preferred to take a stand as a last resort.

The full-metal chamber moving upward made a strange creaking noise, as it was under immense pressure.

The pressure was not only from the viscous liquid outside but also from the physical pressure of the psychic force.

The interior of the full-metal chamber underwent a drastic change as the Dragon Guard tactical armor expanded significantly, morphing from its assault form into an assault-type, then stretching to over four meters tall. The massively enlarged "Dragon King" assault-type tactical armor encased both Chen Fei and the Little Bird within.

To be precise, what they had was no longer just tactical armor but a bona fide piece of Mobile Armor. Since Chen Fei had never dealt with the current military standard Mobile Armors, the design and construction of the interior, along with the related modules, were somewhat unsystematic after the makeshift enlargement – only outwardly similar, with more of an emphasis on Psi Skill effects.

Most of the Magic Arrays failed, with only the "Mind Brand (1)" Magic Array functional. It was similar to the psychic protection Magic Array on Xiao Jiu's leg ring – perhaps their operation was exempt because both effects were of the Psychic Series.

The giant "Dragon King" had no advanced technological applications, so its mobility and psi skills were unaffected by the current special environment, even though it was now down to just basic combat strength with an additional reduction of twenty percent, it was still stronger than Chen Fei unarmed.

He was almost certain that this strange cylindrical space, suppressing advanced electrical technology and other elemental energies, was most likely the handiwork of the extraterrestrial race "Sagali," as the environment here was more advantageous for those parasitic species.

A violent churning ensued, and a large metal cabin began to float up, bobbing in a pool of mucus.

Chen Fei's headache worsened, but he managed to make part of the cabin wall transparent, widening his field of vision.

Just as the sonar module of the "Dragon Guard" assault-type single soldier tactical armor had detected,

A vast floating island with a diameter exceeding 60 meters extended twelve thick branches all the way to the edge of the cylindrical space. The space above the mucus pool had a wider diameter than the pool bottom, reaching 1680 meters. The massive dome above was no longer a flesh mass with veins stretching arbitrarily but a surface without a single edge or protrusion, as smooth as polished rock with clear striations, resembling an abstract painting by a divine sculptor.

Under the faint light all around, natural mineral particles and crystal grains refracted colorful points of light, like a sky full of stars.

From afar, the plump meat bun-like floating island had suddenly appeared with numerous holes, as if it had become a beehive. A multitude of bizarre creatures with bared teeth and claws rushed out. They sprinted along the branches extending to the edges of the cylindrical space, some even diving into the mucus without hesitation, swimming towards the all-metal cabin where Chen Fei was located. Whether on the ground or in the mucus, these ferocious monsters were extremely fast.

Chen Fei didn't hesitate, his hand back shimmering with silver light.

The gigantic "Dragon King," now over four meters tall and standing atop the all-metal cabin, sprouted two 12.7mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns at the elbows. After a brief setup, it unleashed a barrage of fire at the advancing monsters on land and in the water. The tracer effect of the armor-piercing incendiary rounds effortlessly tore through the grotesque creatures with spiky bone armor, and soon limbs, tentacles, and fluids flew everywhere. Their blood, also yellow, quickly stained a large expanse of the previously clear mucus.

Although firearms were clearly inferior in terms of destructive power and range to the more advanced railgun weapons, the gunpowder-driven bullets were highly effective here, toppling a large number in the blink of an eye.

A deep blue fireball fell silently, hitting the metal cabin moving sluggishly in the mucus. The structure, which served not just as a floating vehicle but also as protection for the giant "Dragon King," had a large chunk viciously bitten off by an invisible maw in the blink of an eye, with a jagged, mirror-like break that reflected light clearly. The air filled with a pungent burnt smell.

The giant "Dragon King," thrown off balance, quickly stepped aside to stabilize itself, narrowly avoiding plunging into the mucus.

The all-metal cabin, having lost nearly a fifth of its volume, rapidly transformed to not only fill the part "burnt" away by the deep blue fireball but also to become a circular floating platform over 12 meters in diameter. It constructed multiple watertight compartments inside, significantly enhancing stability, and raised parapet-like skirts along the edges.

There were figures standing at the edge of the mucus pool. The deep blue fireball that nearly took out the "Dragon King" with it had come from that direction.

Chen Fei, with his "Basic Optical Observer (Level 8)" psi skill, was immediately aware of their presence. There were not only fierce bizarre monsters here, but also... humans?

They looked for sure like humans, but the recognition module specially made by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" did not identify them as parasitic hosts, which meant they were not parasitized.

There might be another possibility.

But Chen Fei immediately discounted that option.

Extraterrestrial races whose size matched that of the human race were no longer just the Royal Breed. To be precise, they should be called the Divine Breed, capable of living independently even without a host.

This terrifying existence, comparable to the Heavenly Order and beyond, was not something Chen Fei could contend with. Any casual thought from them, and he feared he would be turned to dust on the spot.

If the Divine Breed of the parasitic species descended upon Cangqiong Star, and there were so many of them, they would not allow the current situation to be shattered by the forces of Chen Fei alone.
