If it had been in the past, upon knowing that a Level 6 Alien Beast, even one gravely wounded, was secretly spying on him and preparing to hunt him down, Xiao Yu would absolutely have fled as far as he could. But now Xiao Yu was no longer what he once was. Although his strength still could not match the Arboreal Race Alien Beast at its peak, it had to be known that after the collision with the capital planet of the Pegasus Civilization and the full-force strike of the Neutron War Star, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast’s strength had already fallen to a frightening degree.
Xiao Yu was not alard but delighted. After receiving this information, he rapidly made arrangents.
“We cannot let this fellow know that we have already beco a Level 6 Civilization.” This was the first thought that flashed through Xiao Yu’s mind. At the sa ti, many plans surfaced.
“Good, we will do it like this.” Xiao Yu quickly made up his mind. “First send all forty million warships into the small universe to hide. Then have the flagship, the Asia spaceship, drag the small universe a bit farther away so that the Arboreal Race Alien Beast cannot perceive the small universe’s existence. After that, use the remaining ten million warships, together with your cooperation, Specter, to pin the Arboreal Race Alien Beast here. Then we will use our full strength to kill it and use its flesh and blood to forge Planet-Class or even Star-Class warships.”
“Excellent. It will probably still need three to four months to reach here. We have ample ti to prepare these things.” The Specter companion replied, with a trace of excitent in his tone. “I have a premonition that if our ambush succeeds this ti and I can devour the life force of the Arboreal Race Alien Beast, I will be able to beco a Level 4 Specter. At that ti our Divine Ark Civilization will be equivalent to the union of two Level 6 Civilizations. Even if the Taihao Alliance wants to deal with us, it will have to pay a very heavy price.”
“Good. Whether you can beco a Level 4 Specter and whether I can possess Planet-Class warships all depend on this battle.” Xiao Yu laughed heartily in his heart.
“But I have one question. Why does the Arboreal Race Alien Beast pursue us with such tenacity? What benefit does killing us bring it?” At this mont the Specter had so doubts and asked, “I keep feeling that the Arboreal Race Alien Beast’s relentless pursuit of us has so connection with those three rascals of the Taihao Alliance.”
“When our strength is sufficient, we will directly find the Taihao Alliance and ask them to their faces.” Xiao Yu replied. “When I possess Star-Class warships and you beco a Level 4 Specter, we will have the qualifications to speak as equals with the Taihao Alliance.”
“Fine.” The Specter answered with a single word, then continued, “I will hide first as well. If the Arboreal Race Alien Beast senses that our strength here is too formidable and does not dare to co, that would be troubleso. If it runs, it will not be easy for us to catch it.”
After a brief exchange, the Specter companion also quickly hid within the small universe, which was being towed by the flagship Asia spaceship. Together with the small universe, it was pulled toward another place at a speed of more than eighty tis the speed of light.
A small universe would exert an influence on the main universe within a small range. This influence was unavoidable. Back then, when facing the Trolor Civilization’s ruins, Xiao Yu had relied on this influence to find the entrance to the ruins. It could be confird that if the small universe remained here, once the Arboreal Race Alien Beast arrived it would certainly perceive it. And a small universe ant a Level 6 Civilization. Upon knowing that Xiao Yu had already beco a Level 6 Civilization, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast might directly flee.
However, the range of this influence was small, roughly only one hundred billion to two hundred billion kiloters. On the cosmic scale, this distance was nothing. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, Xiao Yu still spent nearly one day towing the small universe to a location more than two light months away. In the process of towing the small universe, Xiao Yu also tested for the first ti the traction devices he had built. Just as he had predicted, in only a single day of travel, energy converted from the mass of more than seven Earths was consud.
Most of the warships were hidden in the small universe. In this star system, Xiao Yu left behind only about ten million warships and the planetary war star he planned to retire, the Earth.
Xiao Yu had already followed the Asia spaceship to a location more than two light months away. There, he would remotely command this battle.
As if completely unaware of the oncoming danger, the ten million ships left here and the various industrial facilities continued operating in a normal state, busily engaged in their affairs. Various industrial ships shuttled to and fro, machines on planetary bases roared day and night. It was entirely the scene of a civilization’s great developnt.
Under such circumstances, three months quietly passed. The detection instrunts Xiao Yu had laid in advance, manufactured with Level 6 Civilization technology, constantly reported the positional information of the Arboreal Race Alien Beast. Xiao Yu saw that when the Arboreal Race Alien Beast approached a certain distance from the fleet he had left here, it first quietly hid itself, as if observing sothing.
This scene could not help but make Xiao Yu a little nervous. But shortly thereafter, Xiao Yu relaxed, because he saw that, once it seed to confirm that this place was safe and that the opponent was weaker than itself, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast swaggered forward again.
“Alien Beasts are indeed cunning, but their intelligence is far too low.” Xiao Yu muttered.
“Yes, cunning and wisdom are two different concepts.” The Specter companion expressed agreent with this point.
After the Arboreal Race Alien Beast closed to a certain distance, the fleet Xiao Yu had left there also pretended to have just discovered it, and with a slightly ‘panicked’ air began battle preparations. Large numbers of ships urgently assembled, arranging themselves into battle formation. The star system’s defense system rapidly activated, and the fleet began gathering toward the direction from which the Arboreal Race Alien Beast was coming.
At this mont, Xiao Yu received a ssage transmitted by the Arboreal Race Alien Beast. Its tone seed extrely arrogant. It even used the term ‘little reptile’ to address Xiao Yu.
“Detestable little reptile. Last ti you escaped by luck due to the Specter Race’s sches. This ti let see who can save you.”
“Arboreal Race Alien Beast. Our Divine Ark Civilization has no enmity with you. Why do you invade us? Leave here at once, or our Divine Ark Civilization does not mind perishing together with you.”
“Perish together? You need the strength for that first.” The Arboreal Race Alien Beast spoke arrogantly as it advanced rapidly. “This ti I have prepared fully. You cannot escape no matter what.”
“Hahahahaha.” The Arboreal Race Alien Beast laughed wildly and charged into the fleet Xiao Yu had left behind at a speed exceeding one hundred tis the speed of light. The branch-like things on its body lashed in all directions. Almost at the instant of contact, at least several hundred warships were destroyed by it.
“The combat power of an Alien Beast truly is formidable.” Xiao Yu sighed slightly, manipulating the ships near the Arboreal Race Alien Beast to dodge in all directions at speeds consistent with a Level 5 Civilization, feigning panic, while launching fierce attacks with the negative matter cannons equipped on the ships.
“A planetary war star? Not bad. You have reached the peak of a Level 5 Civilization and are about to enter Level 6, are you? Very good, very promising indeed. Only a civilization with such enormous potential, once destroyed, can restore my injuries. Then let us first take down your flagship.”
The Arboreal Race Alien Beast continued to surge forward. At this mont, under the canopy of the star system defense instrunts and the ships that nearly filled this expanse of cosmic void, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast was like a peerless master charging and slashing through enemy ranks, unstoppable in its ferocity.
But it failed to notice that after it plunged into the star system, the ten million warships Xiao Yu had left there had quietly unfolded a tactical encirclent behind it. When it rushed to a location not far from the planetary war star, the encirclent was complete.
The trap had sprung. It was ti to close the net.
The planetary war star began to retreat rapidly. The Arboreal Race Alien Beast continued the pursuit. Yet it suddenly discovered that its advance was becoming difficult. Not only that, it was subjected to certain inexplicable attacks.
As a Level 6 Alien Beast, it was very familiar with this thod of attack. It imdiately knew it was suffering an attack from spatial weapons. At that instant, the ten million warships no longer concealed their strength. Their power erupted fully. They initiated curvature flight within the star system, opened their space folding shields, and fired spatial weapons. In that split second, countless black filants appeared like a rainstorm, lashing straight toward the Arboreal Race Alien Beast.
If it were only spatial weapon attacks, they still could not pose a true threat to the Arboreal Race Alien Beast, because it could flee and break the encirclent to escape. How could a re ten million ships block a Level 6 Alien Beast that wanted to run?
Yet at this mont, more than one million ships with strange shapes appeared. They did not directly join the fighting. They rely arranged themselves around the Arboreal Race Alien Beast according to a certain pattern, then, under the cover of nearly ten million warships, activated the instrunts mounted on their hulls.
As those instrunts activated, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast was imdiately squeezed out from curvature space. At that mont, it discovered that it could no longer carry out curvature flight.
That was correct. The weapons mounted on those ships were the space reinforcent devices that Xiao Yu had developed after entering the Level 6 Civilization and mastering space technology.
