Chapter 229: Alien Praetorian

Ye Nan and his party ran rapidly inside the spaceship. The spider webs along the way became sparse, and what appeared more in their field of vision was some kind of strange sticky substance.

This sticky substance didn't stick to people's feet. People walking on it were like stepping on a carpet, very soft, and felt warm.

"We're almost at the Alien Queen's nest. Look." Ye Nan squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of sticky substance, "This thing is a kind of thick and hard tree-gum-like sticky organic matter secreted by Aliens. This substance can provide a large amount of heat for fragile Alien eggs."

"Where this substance exists, it must be the Alien's nest."

Ye Nan threw away the substance in his hand and said lightly: "The battle is about to come."

Hearing Ye Nan say they were almost at the Alien's nest, Ororo was immediately excited, "Finally going to succeed. As long as we kill the Alien Queen, it's equivalent to cutting off the source of the Alien race's troops. By then, cleaning up the Aliens will be twice the result with half the effort."

Suddenly, Ye Nan and his party stopped, looking at the pitch-black corridor, hesitating a bit.

Aliens were a race good at sneak attacks, and the dark environment was their home field. They didn't need eyes, and they didn't need light.

But Ye Nan and the others were different. Ye Nan himself didn't need light. His eyes were enough for him to see in the dark. What he worried about were Storm Ororo and Duan Yan.

"How are you guys?" Ye Nan asked without looking back.

"I don't care." Duan Yan shrugged, "My mental power can perceive everything around me. Light is optional for me, but..."

Duan Yan turned his head to look at Ororo, the worry in his eyes fully revealed.

"I don't know if Ororo needs it."

"I need light, but I believe that with you guys as my eyes, I have nothing to fear." Storm Ororo said without hesitation, entrusting her eyes to them.

Duan Yan looked at Ororo affectionately, and cheesy words came out of his mouth, "Please rest assured, these eyes of mine will definitely be competent and qualified."

Slap!

"Don't be disgusting." Ororo slapped Duan Yan on the face, "These cheesy words make me want to vomit."

Seeing Duan Yan get snubbed, Ye Nan secretly laughed on his face.

"Soon, you will be mine, I swear." Duan Yan secretly made a vow in his heart.

Roar!

From the depths of the darkness, a behemoth moved out.

A huge body, a fan-shaped head, the exterior of the body covered with a layer of skin like metal armor, it was like a tank, rushing out from the depths of the darkness.

"By the Queen's order, kill the prey."

The Alien looked down at the three ants in front of it. With its intelligence, it really didn't know what these three ants were worth the Queen's personal attention. But the Queen's order could not be disobeyed. It could only walk out of the warm nest, walk to the cold outside, and clear all these ants away.

"What kind of ghost is this?" Duan Yan looked at the Alien that moved out, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

This Alien's body almost stuck to the wall, as if the spaceship corridor was not enough to accommodate its body.

It was really too big. It was like a tank, crushing over from afar, and Duan Yan was like an ant blocking the tank, destined to be crushed to death.

Storm Ororo looked at this Alien, her eyes blank, "Could this be the Alien Queen?"

"No." Ye Nan's voice was deep, "This thing is called an Alien Praetorian, the Alien Queen's guard, but damn it, how could it appear here?"

Ye Nan almost went crazy. The Alien Praetorian was the Alien with combat power second only to the Queen in the Alien race, very powerful and terrifying. If it were normal times, he naturally wouldn't be afraid, and might even want to fight it properly to hone his strength. But this was the Alien's nest, and the Queen hidden in the nest could rush out at any time to support this Alien Praetorian....

The Queen was like a master hiding in the dark. Although she didn't strike, she brought Ye Nan tremendous pressure.

"It is the Alien Queen's guard, so it naturally appears here." Duan Yan grabbed the loophole in Ye Nan's words and asked, "Since that's the case, why do you say it shouldn't be here? Is there any secret in it?"

"Is there? It was just a slip of the tongue." Ye Nan lightly skipped over the loophole in his words.

The Alien Praetorian didn't belong to any Alien movie. It had never appeared in the movie. In his previous life, Ye Nan had only seen its picture from some interview magazine.

The Alien Praetorian usually appeared around the Alien nest. It was the Alien's loyal guard, protecting the Alien Queen from being disturbed when she laid eggs.

Its body was clumsy, but the armor on its body was enough to block all damage for it. Similarly, its strength was several times stronger than ordinary Aliens. If it were a one-on-one fight, even the Queen in the movie might not be its opponent.

When Ye Nan and the others discovered the Alien Praetorian, the Alien Praetorian also discovered Ye Nan and the others. Only to see the Alien Praetorian clumsily open its mouth and roar fiercely.

Roar!

The huge sound and the storm it set off shook Ye Nan and the three of them back a step.

"It's too dark and too narrow here. Let's leave first and go to an open place."

Ye Nan shouted while running.

Duan Yan and Ororo reacted and followed behind Ye Nan, running. Behind them was the Alien Praetorian. Only to see this Alien Praetorian lift its huge foot and step on the ground, and the spaceship shook for a while.

The shaking of the spaceship naturally affected Ye Nan. He was running well, but suddenly felt his body tilt. However, his reaction was very fast. At the moment his body tilted, he jumped up fiercely, flipped in the air, and then landed steadily on the ground.

Behind Ye Nan, because of the shaking of the spaceship, Storm Ororo's figure was unstable, and she was about to fall to the ground. At this time, a hand reached out and supported Storm Ororo.

"Are you okay?" Duan Yan asked with concern.

"I'm okay, let's run fast." Storm Ororo didn't have time to say any words of gratitude, because the Alien Praetorian was right behind them.

"It's okay, you run first, I'll cover the rear. That way there's someone to look after." Duan Yan smiled lightly and pushed Storm Ororo, "Go."

"You..." Ororo originally wanted to say something. But when she met Duan Yan's firm gaze, she had to swallow the words that reached her mouth again. "Take care of yourself."

"I naturally will." Duan Yan didn't look back, a mental storm beat on the Alien Praetorian's body, only to see the Alien Praetorian's body pause slightly, and then rushed up again.

Sensing the situation behind him, Duan Yan's heart couldn't help but tighten, "Because the size became bigger, so the mental power also became stronger? My mental storm only caused such a tiny effect?"

"Mental lash!"

An invisible whip condensed in the air and lashed fiercely at the Alien Praetorian, ignoring its armor defense.

The Alien Praetorian was lashed by the whip and felt a pain, so it roared angrily.

Hiss!

A loud noise came from behind, shaking Duan Yan away.

"This Duan Yan actually ignored my words." Ye Nan felt the roar of the Alien Praetorian behind him and immediately turned around and ran back.

Although he was dissatisfied with Duan Yan's behavior, Ye Nan wouldn't watch his companion be killed in front of him.

"Your opponent is me." Ye Nan roared, attracting the Alien Praetorian's gaze, "Hey, big guy, your opponent is me, don't find the wrong opponent."...

Hiss!

The Alien Praetorian hissed, and its huge body moved faster.

"Damn it." Ye Nan cursed and immediately accelerated and rushed up.

The Alien Praetorian's body was really too huge. Even if Ye Nan attracted its hatred, relying on its body, it could crush Duan Yan into slag.

Duan Yan's speed was not slow. Under the crushing of the Alien Praetorian, he ran faster. Soon, his body intersected with Ye Nan's body.

"Be careful of the Alien Praetorian, it's very powerful."

When their figures intersected, Duan Yan suddenly broke his index finger and, under Ye Nan's astonished gaze, pulled out a metal object about two meters long from inside.

"This is a self-defense item that Wolverine once gave me. Now I lend it to you as your weapon."

Duan Yan ran out, his finger slowly healing, "It is a weapon made of Mandra metal and will absolutely not be corroded by the Alien's blood."

"If it weren't for the fact that there was really no chance of winning, I wouldn't..."

Duan Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the corner.

Duan Yan didn't say the words. He understood, he knew, the reason why Duan Yan handed the weapon to him at this time was entirely because of Ororo.

At this time, they had no way out. Either defeat the Alien Praetorian or die under the Alien Praetorian's hands.

"Love is really something that makes people hopeless." Ye Nan took a light breath and raised the weapon in his hand.

This weapon was a rectangular product, one end very sharp. It could be seen that this was a part of some claw.

"Mandra metal, Wolverine, Duan Yan, you really have an extraordinary relationship with Wolverine." Ye Nan's voice was slightly low, then became high, "Hey, big guy, are you ready to die?"

Hiss!

The Alien Praetorian looked at the short Ye Nan in front of it and, without thinking, slapped him. In its eyes, Ye Nan was just a little dot, not worth making a big fuss about.

"Underestimating people will be punished." Ye Nan smiled lightly. Facing the claw slapped by the Alien Praetorian, he didn't dodge or evade, raised both hands, and caught it.

Slap!

Three arms intersected, and a burst of slap-slap-slap sounds came out.

Ye Nan only felt his body sink, and the great force from his hands pressed him down.

"But if you want to win over me in strength, you have to be stronger." Ye Nan looked at the Alien Praetorian with disdain, exerted force with both hands, and slowly lifted the Alien Praetorian's claw.

Hiss!

The Alien Praetorian felt the little thing under its claw dare to resist it and immediately became angry. Its other claw smashed down from top to bottom fiercely.

Hiss!

The Alien Praetorian wailed in pain. It had just smashed its claw down, and immediately retracted its claw at a faster speed. On its hand claw, a wound, from bottom to top, pierced through the entire palm.

Blood like a fountain flowed down from above, dripping on the steel plate of the spaceship, corroding one big hole after another.

"It seems this weapon is not bad."

Ye Nan looked at the weapon Duan Yan gave him, blew it lightly, and blew the blood stains on it dry.

Just now, the Alien Praetorian smashed its claw down. He made a prompt decision, stood the metal claw upright, and waited for the Alien Praetorian to ask for trouble. Sure enough, under the Alien Praetorian's great force, the metal claw unceremoniously pierced its claw and tore its wound.

"Next, it's my time to perform." (.. Your support is my greatest motivation.) ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
