Chapter 396: Courier (Happy Spring Festival!)

The entire underground laboratory was shrouded in fear; in other words, the fully equipped mobile squad had been wiped out. The combat power and fighting style of this monster had already exceeded human imagination. Under these circumstances, reinforcements from other bases would likely be like throwing meat buns at a dog.

Outside the main gate, the silent monster did not seem to have disappeared. From time to time, knocking sounds could be heard, but they were not directed at the titanium gate; rather, they came from other places, as if it were searching for a weak spot. This feeling made everyone shudder.

When Li Hao caught a Razor and arrived at the base, the base was already deathly silent. There was mecha wreckage everywhere, permeated with a bloody stench. Kazi had already arrived; Li Hao could feel that aura, but it was not on the surface, but underground.

The Razor's eyes emitted a golden light, scanning all around. Following the aura, it quickly found the entrance to the laboratory. However, he did not go down, because he sensed that the aura had already detected his presence and was heading toward the entrance.

Li Hao raised his two large machetes, waiting for the appearance of the Giant Insect Leader. In the blink of an eye, a monster walked out of the hole, standing on two legs. Behind it floated some wriggling tentacles, and the parts of its body that were constantly flickering were likely K23 Element crystals. No matter how one looked at it, this guy didn't seem to have any family ties to the Giant Insects.

The Giant Insect Leader sized up the strange Giant Insect before it, its eyes filled with naked greed. It opened its fangs, and a beam of energy blasted out.

Li Hao dodged immediately, but Kazi had already vanished. Li Hao dared not move recklessly, observing everything around him; this guy hid quite thoroughly. Golden light suddenly bloomed from the Razor, instantly illuminating the entire base, and at the same time, Kazi in the darkness launched an attack on Li Hao.

Clang.

Li Hao's Razor and Kazi's claws collided. A tremendous force struck, and the ground exploded. Clang, clang, clang, clang.

The sharp claws danced wildly. Li Hao was also surprised by the opponent's strength. The light burning on its claws contained a strong reaction of K23 Element. Does this guy have K23 Element all over its body?

Boom.

Li Hao was blasted away directly. The Razor could not withstand such power; Li Hao's enhancement of the Giant Insect had limits, and the Razor's endurance also had limits. Such an opponent clearly could not be fought head-on; of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.

The Razor dodged Kazi's rapid pounce, rolled, swish, swish, swish, swish.

Seven or eight tentacles stabbed directly into the ground. The Razor sprang away and sprinted toward the outside of the base, but the monster was faster and had already flown in front of Li Hao. In mid-air, four claws pounced down. Li Hao made a sharp turn in an attempt to shake it off, but the bone wings on Kazi's back were even more agile, directly changing direction and predicting Li Hao's position. Swish, swish, swish.

The tentacles stabbed toward the Razor as if they had a life of their own. The Razor erupted with golden light, and a Golden Zone Energy Shield actually appeared, wrapping around the Razor. The tentacles stabbing into it were like being burned by fire and actually melted a section. The monster's tentacles were repelled, but when they retracted, the tentacles had already grown back.

The monster did not attack immediately, but sized up the Razor before it. The next second, darkness began to spread from beneath Kazi's feet, directly shrouding the entire base.

Li Hao was also miserable. What the hell is this? Does Bleem really want him to save the world, or is he just being fed to the opponent? This Kazi clearly understood very well how to use K23. After a few rounds of collision, the strength of the opponent's physical body was beyond imagination. The Razor he was in was already very tough under his reinforcement, but under the collision, it felt like the Giant Insect's body was about to collapse at any moment.

If he were piloting a mecha himself, he wouldn't fear this guy, but his true body was not here, and this Giant Insect instead restricted his physical body. Now he couldn't even run; the opponent's power had already controlled this area, and with the Razor's speed, it was impossible to break free.

If the physical body collapsed, he would find a way to return to Earth, but his intuition told him that this Kazi wanted to capture his Soul Power.

The thing he feared most about soul travel had happened.

Kazi clearly saw the prey's fear and worry. Beneath those blood-red ghost eyes, three more pairs of eyes flipped out, staring fixedly at Li Hao. The pair of giant eyes in the very center actually flickered with a different kind of look. Li Hao was very familiar with this look, because it was a look humans also had—the satisfaction and playfulness when discovering a delicious prey.

"Kazi?" Li Hao attempted a consciousness transmission.

Sure enough, the opponent understood. Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary daze, Li Hao immediately opened his four legs and ran wildly. Damn it, he had to break the opponent's soul lock. This thing could not be fought head-on. Damn Bleem.

But the next moment, Kazi had already descended from the sky, blocking his path. However, it did not attack immediately, but stood up, staring fixedly at Li Hao. Those eyes seemed to pierce through the Giant Insect's shell to look directly at Li Hao's soul... inside were surprise and greed.

A terrifying aura was emitted. Li Hao felt like he had been screwed. He discovered that this monster's momentum was even stronger, and its killing intent was unprecedentedly intense. The monster had given up on invisibility, its body lit up completely, and its true face was fully revealed. Its whole body was covered with dots of K23 crystals, and on its chest was a huge, deep blue Ocean Heart. The entire body could not be identified as what material it was; many lumps of flesh were tangled together.

At a time like this, one must seek survival in death. He had encountered various dangerous situations, and when he tried to explore using power, his life was as fragile as an ant's egg, but this time was truly the most dangerous.

The golden light shield appeared again to block the tentacle attack, but this time it could not melt the tentacles. Kazi's tentacles were evolving. Licking the tentacles, Kazi suddenly disappeared, and the next second appeared in front of Li Hao, slashing down at him.

Boom.

It looked like one strike, but in that instant, there were at least hundreds of hits.

Bang.

A crater exploded in the ground. The Razor's light shield had burst, and the Giant Insect's surface was cracked. Li Hao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. This guy was attacking based on his own defensive power; just one round of engagement had completely calculated his defensive power. If it didn't break the shell, it meant it wanted to absorb him completely.

Click, click, click.

The Razor's claws and legs were all severed, and at the same time, dozens of tentacles formed a soul cage that shrouded Li Hao.

The two souls collided for the first time. Li Hao seized this only opportunity, and a vast golden storm like a scorching star blasted toward Kazi.

Rumble.

An energy wave swept out, and golden ripples spread. The monster was also blasted into shaking its head violently, but the tentacles trapping him still firmly locked the Razor's shell, not letting Li Hao's soul escape.

"What exactly are you?" Li Hao said in shock and anger.

The monster stared at the Giant Insect silently and intently, its eyes filled with a highly intelligent sense of surprise.

"Bleem!" Li Hao continued to transmit, but the opponent did not react.

"I am a courier!" Li Hao transmitted again. This time, he clearly saw the monster's gaze fluctuate, even if only very slightly.

A sneer appeared on the monster's face, and it finally responded to Li Hao, "Humble species, abandon your foolish probing. The God has awakened, and your mission is about to be completed!" Kazi opened its big mouth, and the head of a thick tentacle turned into a trumpet shape, beginning to absorb Li Hao's soul directly. The golden light on the Razor began to detach from the Giant Insect's body and surge toward the straw. In an instant, the entire monster was glowing with golden light, its body trembling several times. Kazi's rows of eyes began to shed liquid in excitement, and its body suddenly surged out dozens of straws, all opening their mouths and starting a frantic suction toward Li Hao's Sickle Giant Insect.

Li Hao pressed for a second. At a time like this, would Bleem show some sign?

The answer was negative. In his perception, there was no change in the surroundings, and he could not wait any longer. The monster devouring his power caused his body to react immediately; this evolution speed was a bit horrifying.

Suddenly, the severed limbs of the Razor suddenly grew dark sickles. Swish, swish.

All of Kazi's tentacles were severed, and the severed parts withered completely. Darkness spread along the cuts and devoured them. The monster let out a shrill scream. The next moment, a black light flashed, Kazi's limbs were severed, and the Razor reversed the situation. The black razor pierced directly into Kazi's chest, pinning Kazi firmly to the ground, while a dark energy shield instantly isolated everything.

Li Hao lay on Kazi's body, feeling exceptionally disgusted. However, after waiting for so long, there had to be some harvest. Staring fixedly at the monster's head, he sent out a thought wave, "You, what are you!"

Damn it, after acting for so long, he ran into a monster that didn't like to talk nonsense. He could only force it. He could dig out a lot of useful things from this guy. This guy fully mastered human language and thinking patterns, and could even use thought waves. If one said it didn't understand humans, even a ghost wouldn't believe it. What kind of thing had been lurking for so long, and for what?

What exactly is a courier?

The monster's eyes kept contracting, actually revealing fear and shock, "What kind of monster are you... you can actually control... Dark Matter..."

Swish, swish.

Purple blood splashed. Li Hao was not happy. Damn it, the situation had reversed, and it actually dared to ask questions, and it even knew this was dark power. This was his trump card; if he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have wanted to expose it.

Just thinking about it made him angry, and then he cut a few more times, cutting off the useless parts of the monster first. It was too ugly, and purple blood was spilled all over the ground.

The monster struggled desperately, but with the Dark Matter claws, neither its body nor its soul could move. It was firmly trapped in place, and even space-time couldn't move a fraction.

"Since you know this is Dark Matter, answer my questions honestly, and I will grant you a quick death," Li Hao said, coaxing it.

The monster's eyes flickered constantly, revealing a strange expression, followed by deep fear, "You... have awakened?"

"Awakened to what?" Li Hao was stunned. Suddenly, his Dark Matter claws began to shake... the consumption was too great, and he couldn't maintain it. Damn it, at a critical moment.

Li Hao felt something was wrong. The huge K23 crystal on Kazi's chest emitted a strong light. The next second, the light on the Razor disappeared, and it went limp and motionless. Following that, a mushroom cloud rose, and the huge explosion and shockwave directly razed the Ontario No. 5 Base to the ground...

, dear partners, I wish everyone a healthy body, a happy family, rapid progress like a rabbit, and great luck in the New Year in the coming year~~!!!,
