The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

Upon receiving the order, the two Corruptors immediately clung to the rock face like geckos, silently crawling towards the cracks that had been created by the impact.

They opened their petal-like jaws, aimed at the dark slits, and sprayed out streams of pale purple venom.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

Acrid white smoke billowed from the crack, accompanied by a tooth-grinding corrosive sound.

Although the scales of the lava pangolin are hard, its internal tissues are not invincible.

"roar?"

The behemoth seemed to sense something, its frenzied movements halting its pursuit of Hunter 01.

Its single, scarlet eye turned toward the smoking cracks, and it let out a low, questioning growl.

"It's been found!"

Su Wan hid behind a rock, her voice strained.

"It's too late."

Li Haotian stared at the giant beast with eyes like he was staring at meat on a chopping board.

Just as the lava pangolin was distracted...

"01, 02, 03! Joints!"

Li Haotian gave the order.

Three dark figures simultaneously pounced on the giant beast's leg joints, which had been heavily targeted by the acid, from different angles.

Hunter No. 01 flashed and appeared on the giant beast's left foreleg.

Instead of confronting it head-on, it used its sharp claws to precisely pierce the gaps in the corroded and softened scales, and slashed them fiercely!

"Sizzle!"

A huge scale was forcibly torn open, and scalding, magma-like blood gushed out.

The other two raiding aliens attacked the other two legs in the same way.

"roar--!!!"

A heart-wrenching roar echoed throughout the entire mine.

With all three legs injured at the same time, the excruciating pain drove the lava pangolin completely insane.

Its massive body suddenly sank, lost its balance, and crashed to its knees, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Well done!"

Upon seeing this, Su Wan couldn't help but shout out excitedly.

"You're celebrating too soon."

Li Haotian's voice poured cold water on her.

Suddenly, a blinding red light shone from the gaps in the scales of the kneeling lava pangolin, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply once again.

"It's about to unleash an area-of-effect attack! Retreat!"

Su Wan's combat experience allowed her to instantly sense the danger.

Li Haotian didn't move; his gaze was fixed on a spot on the BOSS's chest.

There, an inconspicuous scale was rhythmically opening and closing, as if breathing, following the flow of red light.

"Number 01, jump onto its back!"

"02, 03, extreme range harassment, don't let it get up!"

"04, 05, keep pouring venom into it, right below its neck!"

A series of commands were issued instantly through the mental link.

Without hesitation, Hunter 01 leaped forward a split second before the behemoth was about to erupt, its claws digging deep into the BOSS's thick back scales.

next second.

"boom--!"

A visible shockwave of fire exploded outwards from the lava pangolin!

The entire mine was engulfed in flames.

The two raiding aliens, using their extreme speed, barely managed to retreat to the edge of the shockwave, their exoskeletons charred black.

The surface of the boulder where Su Wan was standing was instantly scorched red.

If she hadn't activated the temporary shield provided by the newbie protection beforehand, she would have been instantly killed.

"Li Haotian! You..."

She looked anxiously in Li Haotian's direction, only to see him peeking out from behind another boulder, completely unharmed.

His position just now was not within the core area of ​​the shockwave at all.

It was as if he had planned everything in advance.

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.

This man's fighting spirit was beyond her comprehension.

In the middle of the inferno, the lava pangolin struggled to stand up.

But the No. 01 hunter on its back was like a nail driven into its body, frantically attacking the back of its neck with its claws and tail spikes.

The other two raiding aliens, like annoying flies, kept bothering it, preventing it from getting up properly.

The two Corruptors were lying on the rock wall at the top of the cave, like two fire hoses, precisely pouring corrosive venom onto the giant beast's neck.

There, the scales had long since melted away, revealing the fragile flesh beneath.

"Roar...roar..."

The lava pangolin's roar was tinged with obvious weakness.

"Su Wan".

Li Haotian's voice suddenly rang out.

"what?"

"Did you see that breathing scale on its chest?"

Su Wan quickly looked over and indeed saw that special scale that emitted a red light from its core as it opened and closed.

"I see it! That's its weakness?"

"No, that's its reactor."

Li Haotian licked his lips, his eyes burning with a mad light.

"Smash it, and we'll have a good meal."

As he spoke, he stepped out from behind the rock.

"Are you crazy! What are you trying to do?"

Su Wan was terrified.

Li Haotian didn't answer her, but instead issued the final command for the all-out attack through the mental connection.

"Attention all!"

"02, 03, feint an attack on the head to draw its attention!"

"04, 05, spray it in the eyes!"

"01! Ready!"

The two raiding aliens, having received their orders, stopped roaming and instead charged fearlessly toward the giant beast's head.

The lava pangolin was indeed enraged, raising its only remaining movable forepaw and slamming it down on one of the attacking aliens.

Just then.

Two streams of purple venom shot precisely into its single, scarlet eye.

"roar--!"

The behemoth let out a roar of extreme pain, its vision obstructed, and its attack missed its target.

It shook its head wildly, and the "reactor" scale on its chest opened to its maximum angle due to the pain and rage, exposing the energy core inside without any cover!

"Now!"

Li Haotian roared.

"01! Charge!"

Hunter No. 01, who was perched on the back of the giant beast, was launched into the air like a cannonball the moment he received the order.

It drew a perfect dark golden arc in the air, soaring over the giant beast's head, like a hunting eagle, swooping down towards the exposed energy core!

The iconic inner canine tooth suddenly popped out in the air, aiming at that blazing light!

"No--!"

The lava pangolin seemed to realize the deadly danger and let out a desperate roar.

But it was all too late.

"Pfft—!"

A very faint sound, almost inaudible.

The inner canthus, precisely and without any obstruction, sank completely into the pulsating energy core.

The whole world fell silent.

All the red light on the lava pangolin's body poured into the hole in its chest in that instant.

Its massive body stiffened abruptly, and then, like a deflated balloon, it crashed to the ground.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully defeated the level 8 hidden elite BOSS – Lava Pangolin!]

[First kill on the server! Gained 10000 Survival Points! Gained 5000 Energy! Gained 1 Elite Treasure Chest!]

[Your alien force has gained a large amount of lava gene energy! All units leveled up! Hunter #01 is evolving...]

[Obtained a rare gene sample: Lava Gene!]

[Obtain Epic Equipment: Lava Heart Necklace!]

A series of system notifications flooded Li Haotian's field of vision.

He let out a long breath, and the tension that had been building up due to his extreme command finally eased.

Su Wan was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the BOSS who had collapsed like a mountain, then looked at Li Haotian, who was standing not far away with a calm expression.

She rubbed her eyes and pinched herself.

pain.

It's not a dream.

The two of them, along with eight summoned creatures, actually managed to defeat a level eight hidden boss.

"This...this thing can drop equipment?"

Su Wan looked at the necklace that Li Haotian had picked up from the BOSS's corpse, which was still emitting heat, and murmured to herself.

The necklace was made entirely of dark red crystal, with a heart-like gemstone set in the center that was still slowly beating.

Li Haotian glanced at the attributes.

【Lava Heart Necklace (Epic)】

Equipment Requirements: None

[Attributes: Spirit +20, Fire Resistance +50%]

[Special Effect: Lava Shield (Passive): When receiving a fatal attack, triggers an invulnerability shield that absorbs 1000 damage. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

"good."

Li Haotian made a comment and then casually tossed the necklace to Su Wan.

"then."

"Huh? Give...give it to me?"

Su Wan hurriedly caught the necklace, which was still warm, completely stunned.

This is an epic-level item! It even comes with an invincibility effect!

If you take it to a trading house now, you can definitely get a sky-high price!

He just... dumped it on me like that?

"Your mental attributes are low, you're prone to death."

Li Haotian said matter-of-factly, "If you die, I'll have to distract myself to save you. That's troublesome."

Su Wan held the necklace, looking at the man in front of her who spoke so unpleasantly, and her eyes suddenly felt a little hot.

She wanted to say thank you, but couldn't utter a single word.

Just then.

A grand and chilling alarm sounded throughout the entire server, or rather, the entire God Realm.

A blood-red announcement, even larger and more conspicuous than the previous "Guild Feud," was projected directly in front of all players, regardless of what they were doing.

[Server-wide warning! Server-wide warning!]
