chapter 0323 part 2
Many Soldiers who were further away were not enveloped by the aftershocks of the Explosion, but many were still shaken to the point of Bleeding from the Seven Orifices. A benevolent commander does not lead troops. At this moment, the Base's High-level Staff had no time to consider the Soldiers' Casualties. They were all staring nervously at the descending Iron Soldiers.
These Iron Soldiers sprayed blue Plasma Flames from their feet and arrived at the center of the Explosion almost immediately, grabbing the dead or dying Predators and flying into the Air.
This moment felt like years to the Base's High-level Staff.
The existence of Predators and Aliens was not a secret to some Countries. Just like the Federation's The Pentagon, and *Country's* ***, they had conducted in-depth Research on these two types of Extraterrestrial Life Forms.
However, so far, foreign Alien Research Institutions only possessed some Predator Weapons, such as the Shoulder Cannons and Masks they left behind in Ancient Ruins.
As for living Predators, they had indeed appeared in modern times, but these Extraterrestrial Life Forms had a characteristic: they would Self-Destruct. Once they encountered irresistible Danger, they would activate the Self-Destruct Program on their Equipment.
The Federal Department of Defense's Alien Research Institution had conducted a detailed Ruin investigation. Based on the Shockwave Traces they left behind, the Explosion Power generated by these Predators' Self-Destruct was completely comparable to a Tactical Nuke.
The Base's High-level Staff were almost trembling with Fear when facing these Predators, but they couldn't help but counterattack.
These Aliens were clearly after the Cosmic Cube.
If they were allowed to take the Cosmic Cube, every single member of the Base's High-level Staff would end up in a Court-Martial.
As for whether the Predator's Self-Destruct would endanger the Safety of the base personnel, some Base High-level Staff had received a Secret Order.
Even if the entire base personnel were sacrificed, the Cosmic Cube must be protected.
In the Eyes of High-level figures, the bottom-level Soldiers were often just cold numbers.
This was one of the Reasons why the Base's High-level Staff were flying in mid-air; they were avoiding the potential Self-Destruct Crisis.
Fortunately, until the Iron Soldiers carried these Predators away from the base, the anticipated Predator Self-Destruct did not trigger.
This Self-Destruct Program was indeed the Predator's last resort to perish with the Enemy, but for a large-scale Hunt involving several Predators cooperating.
Self-Destruct was often the Method used by the last Predator when the Hunt failed.
Shadow Storm, the most revered and the last hope coveted by the Predators in the Dark Predator Clan, was somewhat disheveled at this moment.
Hunting Discs hovered around him. He held the Metal Hunting Knife of unknown Material in his Right Hand and a Soft Whip in his Left Hand. The Shoulder Cannon on his Shoulder was subtly accumulating Power, ready to fire.
It was evident that Shadow Storm was very cautious at this moment.
His Enemy, however, had changed. The two Card Soldiers, maintaining their Dragon Transformation form, retreated to the side.
Gu Zi Yun, who had volunteered to capture this Predator alive for Boss Tang, was unhurriedly putting on two golden hollowed-out bracer gloves. The Gloves were carved with exquisite Phoenix Totems. Gu Zi Yun pressed the Ruby in the Phoenix's Eye, and five Dark Red Flames immediately surged from the Magic Tool Gloves. The Flames condensed, transforming into five sharp Dark Red Claws.
Beep Beep Beep Beep!
The powerful Energy Fluctuation emanating from the Prey in front of him made Shadow Storm want to turn around and flee immediately.
As a Predator Elder who had lived for over four thousand years, Shadow Storm had hunted too many creatures: Humans, Aliens, Mechanical Lifeforms, Kree, and even wild gods worshipped by primitive Life Forms on some undeveloped Planets. Even Space Beasts living among the Stars had once been his Prey.
But the Life Form before him made him feel a fatal Threat.
Shadow Storm didn't know that it was the Phoenix Force, the Primordial Power of the Universe, that brought him this Threat. Just as Shadow Storm wanted to turn and retreat quickly, a Dark Red Light flashed in Gu Zi Yun's Eyes.
One of the Abilities of the Black Phoenix Personality that Jean Grey once awakened, besides annihilation with the Phoenix Force, was Psychokinesis and immense Psychic Power.
And Gu Zi Yun's Brain Development was originally far beyond that of a Normal Person. After absorbing the Phoenix Force, her Spiritual Power was so vast that even Boss Tang was impressed.
An invisible Mental Attack directly struck Shadow Storm.
With a muffled grunt, Shadow Storm saw Stars flash before his Eyes. He stumbled backward, his steps faltering. However, as a Top Hunter, almost simultaneously with receiving the Mental Attack, he activated the friend-or-foe identification system on his Hunting Disc.
The Hunting Disc flew rapidly around Shadow Storm, protecting his Safety.
Shadow Storm only felt a Figure flash before him. Large sparks flew from the Hunting Discs hovering around him.
Shadow Storm raised his hand, and the Hunting Blade in his Right Hand thrust forward. Rip!
After a sound of Metal friction, Shadow Storm only felt a Great Strength Drag the Hunting Blade from his hand.
Then Shadow Storm felt as if his Body had been hit by a Spaceship. He couldn't control his Body and was directly knocked back over ten meters, embedding himself in the center of the remaining half-Wall of the Reception Hotel.
A quick note here: Due to the special location of the Reception Hotel, its Walls were reinforced and even embedded with Bulletproof Steel Plates.
Shadow Storm was currently embedded in this Bulletproof Steel Plate in a large 'X' shape.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss!
The Hunting Disc, which could easily tear through the Dragon Scales of a Dragon Paper Soldier, was clenched in Gu Zi Yun's Palm. Wrapped in Dark Red Phoenix Force, the Hunting Disc scraped out sparks, yet it couldn't escape Gu Zi Yun's Palm at all.
Crack!
Gu Zi Yun closed her Palm. The Dark Red Phoenix Force squeezed the Hunting Disc in her hand, crushing it into a ball of Scrap Metal.
"Boss Uncle! I think this Blade is pretty good!"
Gu Zi Yun picked up the Hunting Blade again, her Finger directly tracing the Blade Edge of the Hunting Blade. A ball of Phoenix Fire flickered at her Fingertip, burning the Hunting Blade.
Under the burning of the Flames at her Fingertip, this Hunting Blade showed no Change at all. Gu Zi Yun, delighted by the Hunt, swung the Hunting Blade and turned to look at Tang Song, who was sitting and watching the show.
She pouted: "Uncle, the Material of this one is good, but I don't like the shape. Help me forge a new one!"
Tang Song shrugged: "Little Girl, you really don't know good stuff! The Flying Sword I gave you is much more Formidable than this broken Blade!
That Flying Sword gathered the Water Vein Spiritual Energy of the Garden of Eden. If you can nurture it, it's worth ten of this Blade!"
Gu Zi Yun stared with a pair of innocent Eyes, pouting at Tang Song.
"Give it here!"
Tang Song spread his hands helplessly. The Hunting Blade in Gu Zi Yun's hand flew through the Air directly into his Palm.
"Whoosh!"
Tang Song blew out a breath, and a ball of Samadhi Fire appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the Hunting Blade. The Hunting Blade, which had shown no Change in Gu Zi Yun's hand, was directly burned into a puddle of gray-black Liquid by the Flames.
Tang Song pulled his hand through the Air and took out several Metal Ingots from the Five Yin Spatial Wallet. After melting them with Samadhi Fire, he added them to the Liquid.
"This Predator is Kane's Prey to be captured alive. Little Girl, don't mess things up. When his stubborn Personality comes out, even I get a Headache!"
Tang Song said without raising his head, while adding Restriction Formations to the puddle of metal Liquid.
At this moment, Shadow Storm propped his hands against the Wall panel and pried his Body out of the Wall.
Just as he stabilized himself, he shook his hands and threw two Metal Spheres towards Gu Zi Yun.
The two Metal Spheres emitted a hum in mid-air, then released beams of Red Laser. These Red Lasers connected with each other, forming a Laser Net that covered Gu Zi Yun.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I can handle it!"
Gu Zi Yun crossed her Claws. The Skin, Muscle, Blood Vessels, and Meridians and Collaterals on her Palms and Fingers instantly became transparent like white Glazed Tile.
Using the Cultivation Method taught by Tang Song, she circulated the Phoenix Force within her Body. The Dark Red Phoenix Force flowed visibly within her Meridians.
Then, streams of Dark Red Phoenix Force shot out from between the Glove Claws. Hiss hiss hiss hiss!
The Dark Red Phoenix Claw prints flew out. After a fierce clash of Lightning and Fire, they directly tore apart the Laser Net released by Shadow Storm!
