Chapter 560: Chapter 346: Dark Forest (Five in One)_6

Shu’en was also somewhat uncertain.

"I’ve got a really bad feeling. Could it be that the Legion Commander is pulling that same trick again?"

Chen Ying asked with a hint of trepidation.

When Su Ming and the others heard Chen Ying’s words, they all turned to him with darkened faces.

"I’m just talking nonsense, ptui ptui! Childish words carry no harm!"

Chen Ying struggled to swallow his saliva as he spoke.

"Let’s forget about guessing. Get to your Mechas and stand by!"

Su Ming coughed and said.

"Alright!"

Kaff and the others didn’t have much else to say.

Everyone headed towards their own Mechas.

Before long, Su Ming sat in the cockpit of the Slaughter Mecha.

He pulled up the operating interface and tried to search the Mecha’s database for information about the Dark Forest Star Sea, and indeed, he found quite a bit.

It looked like Master Acala had preserved the entire database of the Blood Falcon Mecha.

Su Ming first opened up images and patterns of the Dark Forest Star Sea to examine.

The Dark Forest Star Sea was different from the usual Star Seas, filled with black stardust everywhere. This black stardust gathered together to form star clouds of different shapes, some resembling gruesome skulls, monstrous creatures, and a variety of strange, malformed beings.

It gave a tremendous visual and psychological shock.

Of course, the Dark Forest was listed as a forbidden Star Sea by the Dark Star Empire not because of these bizarre star clouds. The main reason was that within this Star Sea, various dangerous species resided, including Chilami, the Mechanical Clan, the Hive, and some unknown races.

Basically, few ships that entered this Star Sea made it out alive.

After Su Ming carefully reviewed the information on the Dark Forest, he immediately pulled up the entire star map of the Dark Star Empire.

He looked at the star map of the Dark Star Empire, combined with the current location of the Emperor, and analyzed carefully.

He realized what Kaff and Curia had said was correct; if they intended to simply return to the Federation, there was absolutely no need to enter the Dark Forest; they could just leave the Dark Star Empire by skirting its edge.

Thinking of this, Su Ming then focused his gaze on the map of the Dark Forest.

He used his hand to gesture; if they entered the Dark Forest without leaving the Dark Star Empire and detoured through it, they would arrive here.

Su Ming looked at the position his finger pointed to and was suddenly stunned.

He found the location he was pointing to was actually behind the Main Star of the Dark Star Empire, which meant if they didn’t leave the Dark Star Empire, they would be circling to the enemy’s rear.

A bitter smile uncontrollably appeared on Su Ming’s face. What was the Legion Commander trying to do? Was he planning to puncture the heavens of the Dark Star Empire?

...

Inside the central control of the Emperor.

Zhou Yuelin kept reporting.

"General, all combat personnel have entered the state of readiness; the ship has sailed into the Dark Forest Star Sea, and everything is normal so far."

"Mm, stay alert, especially the monitoring personnel."

Vickers said in a heavy tone.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin and the others responded seriously.

After issuing his commands, Vickers sat tensely in the command chair, quietly waiting.

If all went well, they would travel through the Dark Forest for two days.

Time passed by little by little.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours had passed, and everything was calm. Thanks to the deception of these Mechanical Octopuses, although they encountered many Alien Species along the way, they were not attacked.

Vickers’s tense nerves slightly relaxed, and he picked up the cooled coffee to take a sip.

Suddenly, a jarring alarm sounded.

A red warning box popped up.

"Warning: high energy reaction detected!"

...

"General, it seems like we’ve been targeted by an unknown lifeform."

Zhou Yuelin hadn’t finished her sentence.

A grey beam of light sliced through the starry sky, hitting the Energy Barrier of the Emperor head-on.

A grey sun rose, and the entire Emperor shook violently, with Vickers’s coffee spilling all over himself.

Zhou Yuelin reported nervously.

"Energy Barrier strength of the Emperor has dropped by thirty percent!"

Vickers’s complexion changed drastically, and he immediately stood up and asked.

"Can you see the target that’s attacking us?"

"No! The radar scanning device can’t pick up the target, the interference in this area is too severe."

The operator reported anxiously.

"Damn! What about the Twin?"

Vickers Major General suddenly had a very bad feeling. An attacker that could knock out thirty percent of the Emperor’s energy shield in an instant had to be at least a Type IV creature, and definitely not an ordinary one.

"No, the Twin’s scanning device also failed to capture the enemy. General, what do we do now?"

Zhou Yuelin asked anxiously, knowing that if they were hit by another couple of attacks like that, the energy barrier would shatter. Once the energy barrier broke, the ship would be done for.

"Pass my orders, immediately deploy the 1-3 Mechanical Group to search for the target, and command the Twin to close in on the Emperor, ready to shield the Emperor from attack at any moment!"

Vickers issued the orders decisively.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded promptly.

...

Inside the hangar, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and an urgent broadcast came.

"Emergency combat notice, the Emperor is under attack by an unidentified creature, 1-3 Mecha formation, move out!"

Upon hearing the broadcast, Su Ming immediately controlled his Slaughter Mecha and led Rhein and the others to the launch exit.

Inside the launch passageway, a row of yellow indicator lights instantly turned green.

Su Ming was the first to step into the launch passageway, speeding along the passageway to the outside.

Rhein and the others followed closely behind.

Whoosh, whoosh!

In no time, Su Ming and his companions piloted the mechas, bursting out of the Emperor and emerging into the pitch-black star space.

For a moment, all sorts of twisted and ferocious nebulas entered their view.

Everyone was stunned, uneasily speaking up in the communication channel.

"Where are we?"

"I don’t know. Why do the black nebulas around us look so terrifying?"

"They kind of look like monsters."

...

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Su Ming spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone be quiet, don’t let the external environment distract you. Our mission is to find the unidentified creature attacking the mother ship, understood?"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

However, at that moment, a panic-stricken scream suddenly came from the public frequency channel. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Ah!"

"Chen Qi!"

Immediately after, the communication channel was filled with the angry shouts of comrades.

Su Ming immediately turned his head to look, only to see a black figure biting through an Iron Guard and darting into the darkness of the nebula before disappearing from view.

Lieutenant Colonel Aragon piloted his mecha after it, but came up empty, finding nothing before angrily cursing in the communication channel.

"Damn, what the hell is this thing?"

Su Ming glanced at his own scanning device and saw not even a blip.

His heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Although he had only caught a glimpse,

Su Ming could tell that the creature attacking the ship was huge and incredibly fast, the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Just then, everyone’s scanning devices suddenly blared the piercing alarm.

"Warning: High-energy reaction detected!"

Everyone turned toward the scanning radar, only to find a flickering red dot moving erratically at high speed.

When they followed the radar’s directions to look into space, they saw nothing.

Whoosh!

The next second, a gray beam shot out without warning, penetrating several Iron Guard Mechas and striking the Emperor once again with deadly precision!

Boom!

A massive explosion spread out.

The energy barrier of the Emperor dropped another twenty-nine percent.

Inside the central control room, Vickers roared furiously.

"Quick, find it for me."
