<h4>Chapter 597: Escape</h4>


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    Without any forewarning, countless beams spurted out of Darkniss. Compared to thebined attacks by the sniper mech pilots, the parapsychic sensible shooters were much more capable at delivering consistent urate attacks, as their beams rained rhythmically at an exact order, causing Darkniss to look like aser porcupine.


    The dense wave of red-tailed beasts were impaled by the lights.


    The most fearsome part was how almost every red-tailed beast was ughtered by their throat. The aiming was more inhuman than the beasts themselves. Only 5 survived with severe injuries while the rest was killed on spot.


    Among the crowd, a few packs of highly ranked red-tailed beasts even decided to retreat immediately, as fear imprinted on their distorted expression. It was the first time Ye Chong seeing such fright in them. What had seriously caused them such fright?


    A few thoughts and he realized why. He recalled the content of the visuals left on Lazunite the abandoned mech, on which the log said only high-ranked red-tailed beasts could escape as they led their subordinates. Thus, they must possess a kind of sensibility like Sha Ya. Given that, they must be able to sense the overwhelming parapsychic forcesing from Sha Ya and the others.


    It was an army consisted of 600 Level 6 shooters, under assistance of 3 Level 7 shooters and 6 Level 8 shooters, all under Sha Ya who was a Level 9 shooter. The forces exerted was so grand that even an airhead like Ye Chong felt the illogical distress taking over him, while those low-ranked red-tailed beasts tripping dead as they sprinted.


    Well, a monster remained as a threat even when it was in fear, be they tripping or running away. Sha Ya did not intend to let them go. She might be a strong shooter, but that did not convince her to be boastful and hot-tempered. Her strength had also given her temperance, a rity in mind.


    That was when she convinced the world, what a true expert like a Level 9 shooter was, as she raised her weapon and poured 66 beams which bloomed like blossom from the cabin.


    None of them missed.


    50 5-toed red-tailed beasts and 16 6-toed red-tailed beasts had been pierced.


    Even Ye Chong had a second of bewilderment upon the sight. A 6-toed red-tailed beast was not much of an issue for him. He probably could clear a small wave of them in his Celest, but Sha Ya only raised her firearm and arge pack of the beasts vanished in blinding lights.


    The sailors in Darkniss were feeling pumped.


    Jin Weidong, after the training in Sea of Threads, had his skills dramatically improved like the other shooters, while they seemed to have a sign of elevating to Level 9.


    The amount of effort to go from Level 8 to Level 9 was almost astronomical, yet they were making something.


    Thanks to the shooters who were able to dish out massive damage, the battle was ending rather soon after.


    Nheless, a new wave had arrived.


    Ye Chong knew there would be a new wave very soon as he could see how organized the attack was. Clearly the red-tailed beasts wanted to win the war by outnumbering humanity.


    The war was strangely intense.


    The energy meter on Darkniss depleted quickly. Luckily the Darkniss utilized energy crystal as its source of energy, which contained far more energy content than the batteriesmonly used in the Five Gxies. And Ye Chong had an inventory full of them. If he did not supply enough energy crystals they probably would inevitably lose the battle due to an immobile ship.


    Darkniss was traveling at full speed and any iing red-tailed beast was immediately killed.


    That sounded simple, but the ship was stillgging behind the schedule even under the godly hand of Sha Ya, as the waves only thickened each time. The red-tailed beasts were fearless, unafraid of death, as they came back again and again, pouncing at Darkniss.


    Many of the shooters had fully depleted their parapsychic strength as they copsed at the cabin. The medical team was running from one corridor to another.


    Sha Ya remained as the most amazing warrior at the scene, as her shooting frequency and uracy were retained at high levels. She was not only strong but also very sustainable in war field, which had won over respects of the shooters. At this point of time, only Jin Weidong''s team could catch up with her shooting pace. Well, Ye Chong could see them losing the race soon.


    Sha Ya had maintained shooting at a high frequency, high uracy for SIX hours. The data was astounding to the folks. She was given the Ye Chong treatment by the people as they wondered if she was a human. They thought only the master could have honored such inhumanity, yet there was Sha Ya, deconstructing their perceived idea again.


    And finally the war seemed to being to an actual end.


    The mortality of red-tailed beasts was beyond their control. The shooters estimated at least 7000 kills in the past 6 hours, which the figure was sufficient to form a "n".


    Ye Chong lost about 361 shooters, all because of extreme parapsychic fatigue.


    ording to the shooters, apparently it was not a norm for them to fight a long term war, since most oues happened in split seconds for them. Ye Chong did not want to drain them at first, but he was left with no other choice. The pilots had fallen and he had no backup force.


    Fortunately the fatigue was not fatal to them, though it was hard to tell when they would wake up again - not a good news for Ye Chong.


    The pilots would at least need 10 hours to regain their stamina. And so far only 6 hours hadpsed while most of the shooters had copsed. If they had encountered another wave as frenzy as the previous, there would be problems.


    But the wave seemed to have ceased, as Ye Chong looked at the floating carcasses around the void. It was a horrendous sight, a nightmare fuel. The crew members had gotten used to such sight however.


    The escaped red-tailed beasts did not flee from the scene right away. Instead, they tailed Darkniss at a fixed distance. They were alert yet no action was taken ,yet.


    Well, as long as they did notunch the attack, Darkniss would be safe.


    Ye Chong sighed in a relief. He needed that catch of his breath.


    As long as theysted the following hours, all would be good.


    The shooters did not leave the firing chamber, they remained as alert while eyeing those beasts far behind. They needed tost till the pilots got back online.


    Therge pack of red-tailed beasts army were following Darkniss and no one knew what could happen next. It was such a restless situation. But at least the captain seemed calm at the moment. The crew members believed everything was still under Ye Chong''s control.


    Clearly they would be led to safety!


    The captain was the greatest!


    That was how the trainees saw Ye Chong. They knew it well, on how they would remain as the most peasantly peasant, the most trashy trash in the world if they did not meet the master. So, everything was for the master, by the master, of the master.


    The faithfulness was almost a blind one. Appilok might have been their military leader, but it was this indifferent quiet young man who had given them the necessary mental support.


    Ye Chong loved the obedient red-tailed beasts, as he prompted Darkniss to travel faster towards the warping point.


    It felt strange the following days. The red-tailed beasts, as if they had been given enough punishments, behaved. Ye Chong could not foresee their next diabolical n but he was feeling much more at ease. After all, his pilot army had fully recovered, all ready for battle. Most of the shooters had also regained consciousness.


    Even if the red-tailed beasts decided tounch the attack, he could take them all just fine.


    "Captain!"


    And that was when he could already see the warping point.


    He looked at the marching red-tailed beasts behind, a brief smile cracked his usual coldness, "elerate, prepare for space warp."


    "Perform space warp!" shouted the sailor.


    Engines were all turned on, Darkniss sted off into…


    nothing?


    That was what the red-tailed beasts witnessed.


    In the midst of confusion, the giant metallic enemy disappeared.


    Well, they might have evolved but this entire space-jumping Einstein rocket science was beyond theirprehension.
