484: Chapter 365: Ants Overwhelm the Elephant 484: Chapter 365: Ants Overwhelm the Elephant Now, on Rebirth Island, it’s almost dinnerti.
Ye Fei has probably already prepared a sumptuous al, and once the ti arrives, everyone can wrap up work for the day and enjoy the feast they look forward to every day.
However, at this mont on the far side of the Moon, a silent battle is raging.
Giant black worms wriggle their bodies, flinging the armored warriors surrounding them through the air, only to be hit by a sneak attack from another direction.
Boiling blood spills, staining the surrounding ground green.
By now, both sides have entered a phase of exhaustion.
The monster is fatigued due to prolonged combat, the number of wounds on its body increasing.
Although it heals at an astonishing speed, it cannot withstand such depletion and naturally falls into distress.
The Star Guards are not perpetual motion machines; they are summoned by Zhang Xiaoman using Dark Energy.
Although they have the attribute of not dying from fatal attacks to vital parts, the energy within their bodies is limited.
After being attacked, they expend energy to repair their wounds, but if the energy is exhausted, they naturally cannot repair themselves any further.
Even their strength diminishes as their energy decreases, so they cannot fight indefinitely.
Now, as the battle progresses, the number of Star Guards has dwindled to only three; the rest have been killed by the monster.
Even the remaining few are almost out of ammunition, not only have their five arrows been shot, but two of their long spears have also been smashed by the giant insect, leaving only a wide-blade sword in hand.
“It seems a bit of a stretch after all.
If the opponent were a group of small Desolate Worms of the sa number, it shouldn’t be this difficult…”
Zhang Xiaoman murmured to himself, having discovered a shortcoming of the Star Guards: they are not very effective against large monsters.
Of course, this is a common problem faced by many smaller creatures, as the advantage of size is not sothing to be taken lightly.
With this in mind, he had Star Order lower the spaceship, bringing it closer to the battlefield.
This action imdiately provoked a reaction from the monster below.
The creature continued to struggle with the Star Guards while occasionally taking the ti to glance at the sky, clearly wary of him, the spectator outside the arena.
However, Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of attacking himself; he did not want the bodies of these creatures to be unaffected in such an environnt.
He didn’t know whether these worms were naturally able to survive the vacuum of space or if they had mastered so other thod, possibly using Dark Energy or sothing similar, to achieve this effect.
But at least for now, he himself was unable to do so.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaoman spent 160 Dark Energy points and summoned eight more Star Guards.
According to his Skill Level, he could summon up to sixteen at a ti, but each use required an hour’s interval.
Below, the giant worm, upon seeing that eight more of the beings it had struggled to kill had suddenly appeared—bringing their numbers even higher than at the start—was sowhat dumbfounded.
Its huge body paused for a mont as if pondering what exactly was happening.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t care what it was thinking and imdiately issued commands to the Star Guards.
The newly appeared eight Knights instantly summoned their horses, drew their Longbows, and after pulling back the bowstring, condensed an arrow, all shooting in unison at the monster.
With the impact of five volleys of arrows, a total of forty arrows embedded into its body, the monster, already on the brink, could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a mournful cry.
The Star Guards sward in to deliver the final blows, thoroughly finishing off the unlucky creature.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know why it didn’t run away, he had thought that the giant insect might burrow and escape after he summoned new forces.
For that reason, he had even started charging the laser gun turret, ready to deal a fatal blow at any mont.
But the end result was sowhat beyond his expectations.
He didn’t know whether this guy was too stubborn or too reluctant to leave those trees.
In any case, despite having the chance to escape, it chose to resist desperately and, unsurprisingly, t its demise.
Below, the 11 Star Guards who had killed the monster gathered around it.
A light glowed from the palm of their hands, and a Seven-pointed Star Array appeared, indicative of the Eye of the Starry Sky used for absorbing points.
After upgrading to Knight, the Star Guards had this skill too, but it was Zhang Xiaoman’s first try, and currently, it wasn’t convenient for him to go down and handle the corpse himself.
With 11 Star Guards absorbing at the sa ti, the efficiency seed countless tis faster than when one person did it.
The monster’s body quickly turned into white energy and disappeared in just a few seconds.
“The original speed was about 1 point per second, so that ans in the future, just bring a few more people, and those monsters that take a lot of ti to absorb can also be dealt with quickly.”
Zhang Xiaoman was very satisfied with this new discovery, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
As the last of the giant insect was absorbed by the Star Guards, the system’s notification sounded in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind.
“Ding, Desolate Worm Essence absorbed, points increased by 37.”
“37 points, this guy was a Middle Stage level 2 monster, no wonder the Star Guards had a hard ti…”
Zhang Xiaoman comnted and then switched his view to one of the Star Guards, examining the trees closely and in detail.
However, after looking for a long ti, he didn’t find any valuable information, and since Star Order wasn’t adept at this kind of analysis, Zhang Xiaoman eventually ended the exploration hastily and dismissed all the Star Guards.
It’s not that he didn’t want to take so back with him, but he lacked the necessary equipnt to do so.
Moreover, these trees were clearly alive, which was not like bringing stones back to Water Blue Star; the risk factor would greatly increase.
So he stuck to his plan, to bring professional technicians and equipnt later and let them solve this kind of problem.
After having Star Order record the coordinates, Zhang Xiaoman planned to return to Water Blue Star.
This brief space journey turned out to be quite surprising for him.
He hadn’t expected that a trip ant just for a change of scenery would lead to such a discovery behind the Moon, and even earn him a wave of points.
Back at the island, Sun Hao and the others had just finished their work for the day.
Zhang Xiaoman arrived just in ti for dinner, joined them for the al, and then left.
PS: There should be another chapter after 12 o’clock.
