Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 648: Return Of Reaper

At this moment, there were more than ten snake scales and twenty priceless crystal thorns in Allen's backpack. The left side of the backpack bulged outwards. Judging from the outline of the ellipse, it was definitely not a snake scale or a crystal spike. That was another thing that Alan had harvested from the python, the Heart Core. The heart core was the python's other heart, but this heart was completely crystallized. It was like a starship's power furnace, and its core was the essence of the python's origin energy.

Heart cores weren't rare in their own right. Any wild beast that could utilize Origin Energy would gradually form an organ-like crystal in its body as the Origin Energy it grasped grew larger and larger. They are used to store and drive Origin Energy. This is the heart core. However, there were different sizes of heart cores. Generally speaking, the larger a heart core was, the more Origin Energy it stored, and the purer its mass was.

Humans, and even most intelligent beings in the universe, are driven more by imprints and origin circuits. This was the difference between intelligent life and wild beasts. Wild beasts could not form imprints, they could only rely on the heart core. This also determined that the abilities of intelligent life were diversified, while the abilities of wild beasts were relatively simple, but purer.

The Giant Crystal Thorn Python's heart core was the size of a rugby ball, and this size was relatively rare. When the heart core was taken out of the python's body, its entire body was sparkling and translucent, emitting a light purple light, like a high-grade purple cloud jade stone. There were also natural dark purple lines in the heart core, the thickest of which was even the thickness of Allen's pinky finger. These crystal threads contained sand-sized golden sand, and surging Origin Energy could be extracted from each golden sand.

Snake scale, crystal spike, heart core. According to Catherine's estimate, these three items were worth at least thirty million federal dollars. Its core took up almost two-thirds of the value, and if these items were processed and sold, the price would be even higher.

When Alan heard this number, he had some doubts. After all, he had been operating on Heaven Star for so long, and he had only sold it for around 20 million Thames Silver. Right now, there were 30 million crystal pythons to kill, and there were at least three of them. That was close to 100 million yuan worth of wealth! If even the Giant Crystal Thorn Python was so valuable, Alan could no longer imagine the value of Mother Earth.

After knowing the value of the Crystal Python, even Allen was somewhat moved by the matter of hunting down Mother Earth.

It was simply a moving golden mountain!

Currently, these items in his backpack could not be exchanged for military merits, but Alan wasn't worried about making a move. He planned to keep the Snake Scales. As for the Crystal Piercing Heart Core, as long as someone bought it, he would sell it. Things like this, especially the Heart Cores, and even the Federation would be willing to pay for them. Right now, Alan only wanted to return to Castellan Rock Base as soon as possible, so that he could meet other people in addition to taking care of these things.

Alan felt quite ashamed when he thought of how he had been separated from the hunting squad for so many days as the leader of the hunting squad. However, he didn't know that Kai Yan base had already spent six whole days in the flames of war.

The howls of high-energy beams piercing through the sky and the loud explosions could be heard everywhere. The only thing he could smell was the choking smell of blood and the omnipresent charred smell. Reina had already smelled enough of this. At this moment, a strong smell of blood came from the corpse of Red Spear Stark, who had just laid down at his feet. The death of this enemy commander meant that the war was truly over.

Reina turned around and discovered that this battle had lasted for so long, and they could actually last for so long.

It's like a miracle.

After Reese returned to the base with the enemy intel, the next day at dusk, when the holly forest was dyed golden by the setting sun, the alliance army of the Catus and the Grai Giants appeared in front of Cayrock base. It was a bloody evening. The enemy troops who had just arrived at the base did not even have time to rest. Red Spear Stark immediately gave the order to attack.

The Grai Giants were the forwards, and without a doubt, they were the most terrifying frontlines. When the first Grai Giant crashed into a defensive wall on the east side of the base, the base army that usually only attacked the planet's natives reacted. Lieutenant Colonel Ned hurriedly issued a counterattack order with a somewhat hesitant voice, thus opening the curtain of war.

A few days later, Reina still clearly remembered that when all the turret arrays in the base opened fire crazily, more than half of the giants rushed towards the gunfire. Their bodies exploded with waves of blood under the intense cannon fire. The hot blood sprayed from the giant melted the snow, forming winding blood rivers that flowed on the battlefield. The violent Catu warriors stepped on the giant's blood and their corpses and charged forward from behind.

It was an extremely arduous battle. During the night-long battle, the beams of light and flames around the base never stopped. The flames that appeared from the direction of the base could almost illuminate half of the holly forest. Stark temporarily withdrew his troops when the battle lasted from dusk to daylight the next day. At this time, hundreds of corpses of both sides had already been dropped from the outskirts of the base.

The Grai Giants alone had killed ten of them in the first battle, and only three of them had returned to the makeshift camp with injuries.

As for the Castellan base, apart from the Federation soldiers who had died in battle, all the other hunting groups had suffered losses. Cage's team was the most serious. At that time, a Grai giant directly attacked the defensive area they were stationed in, causing all of Cage's members to die in battle. This was a huge blow to Cage, and it also buried deep hatred in his heart.

As time passed, the battle became more and more intense. As the death toll on both sides began to rise, hatred sprouted as well. Both sides gritted their teeth in an attempt to eat each other, but no matter which side it was, the enemy's bone was hard enough to swallow.

On the third day of the battle, Reina quietly circled the enemy's rear with his men. Relying on the accurate information Reese had provided, he knocked out the enemy's stockpiles, causing the scale of the war to tilt. Catu warriors or Grai giants had a wide recipe and could even eat wild beasts alive. However, there must be wild beasts to satisfy their hunger. After the war started, almost all the wild beasts in the Holly Forest subconsciously avoided this battlefield. After the supplies were destroyed, the alien coalition army could only go to the forest four to five hundred kilometers away to hunt for food.

Obviously, this was very unrealistic.

As a result, the Alliance Army could only fight on a hungry stomach. Without a doubt, the Catus were very brave on the battlefield. But they ate as much as they did, and the Grai Giant was even more so. Under the situation of food shortage, the Alliance Army's offensive began to seem weak. This was undoubtedly great news for the human side of Casterrock Base.

With the cooperation of the army and the hunting squad, the human camp began to counterattack, actively organizing attacks, continuously weakening the enemy's strength. Finally, today, under the cover of the base army, a group of experts led by Rainer had pierced through the enemy's defensive line, penetrated deep into the middle army, and killed Red Spear Stark in one fell swoop. When Stark's corpse, which had collapsed in the chest due to a bone piercing warhammer, was erected high up, the Catus' morale was enemies.

Without Stark's command, no matter how valiant the Catus were, they were nothing more than loose sand. Coupled with the dissipation of their morale and their depressed fighting spirit, the Federation Army took the opportunity to sweep the area and beat them until they were defeated one step at a time. The two remaining Grai giants, on the other hand, were quite ferocious, crazily intercepting the Union army, and eventually died at the hands of Regis and Belmond.

When the remnants of the enemy retreated into the forest, the war that lasted for several days finally came to an end. At this moment, even Reina was physically and mentally exhausted. After returning to the base, he washed his body and fell asleep. He slept until early the next morning before waking up in a hug.

He pulled open the curtains and looked at the pitted battlefield outside the base. While the Federation soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, Reina still felt as if he was in a dream. He forcefully pinched his thigh and was sure that this was not a dream. The battle had already ended.

Today's restaurant was exceptionally deserted, especially in the dining area where experts from various clans were entertained. There were only a few people in the dining area. Among them, Regis himself occupied a table and was sweeping through the food on the table. Reina also joined in the sweep. Regis only lifted his head to look at him before continuing to eat silently. At the height of the war, they didn't even have time to eat. They just squeezed a mouthful of nutrients into their mouths and pounced on the battlefield.

Now that there was plenty of time, naturally no one would want to continue eating nutrients. He patted his stomach and exhaled contentedly until he had eaten all the food on the table. "What about the other two?" Reina asked.

'Belmore and Reese scouted early in the morning. They wanted to know where the remnants of the enemy would retreat. Perhaps they could find the enemy's base camp. As for Lucy, you know, His Highness has no appetite lately.' Regis sat up straight and frowned, "I'm worried that Alan hasn't heard from you yet."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the restaurant. Rena frowned as he looked at the crowd outside the door, as if they were watching something from the sidelines. Suddenly, Ned's voice rang out, "Get out of my way. The general is here. What kind of manners is this?"

The lieutenant colonel crawled through the crowd and divided the onlookers into two sides. A few people followed behind Ned, and when the middle colonel turned to the side, two black and white ponytails collided into Reina's and Lena's eyes.

Catherine!

Regis rubbed his eyes. It was indeed Catherine who was walking behind Rena. She was dressed in a straight general suit, and the silver Federation General Star on her shoulders shone brightly under the dining room lights. Behind Catherine were her adjutants and a few guards, who looked coldly at the people in the restaurant.

"General Kathleen, why are you here?" Rainer suddenly stood up and blocked Catherine's path.

Catherine raised her eyebrows. "Is there something wrong? I passed by Casterly Rock Base and made the necessary supplies. Could it be that I have to report this to Beth Cod?"

Ned had a puzzled expression on his face. He had no idea what was going on with the smell of gunpowder in their tongues.
