Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

Wang Qi looked down at the wreckage scattered on the ground and said:

"Supernatural powers and magical principles are external aids; the true essence of martial arts is the foundation of one's character."

"A myriad of techniques entangle the body, a thousand transformations defeat ten thousand enemies—this is the foundation of the Divine Blade Slash."

A silent, cold spaceship cabin, and the countless annihilated alien corpses, quietly witnessed this utterly one-sided and crushing battle.

……

The passageway connecting the D-2, E-1, and F-5 spaceships was dark and narrow, with emergency lights flickering on and off, their cold white glow cutting through layers of heavy shadows. The rusted and mottled alloy bulkheads were cold and rough, and crisscrossing pipes hung and swayed.

A faint crawling sound emanated from deep within the ventilation ducts. A cold, drafty draft carried the heavy smell of rusty engine oil, the unique sour odor of aliens, and the deathly stench of decaying ship cabins, filling the enclosed space with a suffocating oppression; every inch of air exuded a deadly danger.

This area is a maze of alleyways, with hidden entrances, crevices, and ventilation ducts everywhere, making the entire corridor a hunting trap where monsters lurk, a place fraught with danger and where every step is fraught with peril.

The three-man squad, clad in custom-made armor, each performed their assigned duties, forming a tight formation, all on high alert and ready for battle.

Zhang Jie stood at the forefront of the group, his inner layer of vibranium soft armor fitting snugly against his body, perfectly absorbing impact and cushioning shock; the outer layer of adamantium alloy heavy armor fully covered his torso and vital points, the surface gleaming with a cold, hard, matte metallic sheen, the joints intricately structured, allowing for unrestricted movement. He gripped his heavy battle sword tightly in both hands, his aura as deep and resolute as a mountain, his gaze sweeping across the dark alleyway ahead, as he gave a deep, resounding instruction.

"Zhan Lan, use your mental energy to lock down all hidden entrances and guard against flanking attacks; Xiao Yi, guard the right flank. Don't rush into an attack; first familiarize yourself with the feel of how your armor and weapons work together."

"Don't worry, the mental energy network has been fully deployed, and there are no blind spots in the entire area."

Zhan Lan wore lightweight, specially designed combat armor, which was lightweight, flexible, and allowed for agility, with concealed weapon compartments in the cuffs and hem. She lightly manipulated a sharpened steel needle, her expression calm and composed, clearly sensing and reporting the enemy's location.

"Three aliens are lurking in the upper left vent, two are hiding in the crack in the right wall, and fifteen more are gathered around the corner ahead, about to charge at us."

Li Xiaoyi, dressed in standard combat armor, gripped his weapon tightly with both hands, his back pressed against the cold cabin wall, his breathing slightly tense, yet showing no sign of panic:

"Brother Jie, Sister Zhan, I'm in position. Leave the flanks to me; I won't let a single alien flank us."

The deathly silent, enclosed corridor was suddenly torn apart by a violent roar.

Amidst the swirling shadows around the corner, over twenty alien creatures, their backs arched and limbs clawing at the alloy floor, charged forward with relentless ferocity. Their dense, black exoskeletons covered their bodies, gleaming with a deathly matte sheen, and dripped thick, acidic saliva that hissed and smoldered on the alloy floor, leaving countless charred dents. Sharp, piercing screechs erupted in succession as the horde of monsters, accompanied by a foul stench, charged straight towards the three-person defensive line.

"They're here! Hold the line, don't panic!"

Zhang Jie spoke in a deep voice, his feet firmly planted on the alloy ground, facing the surging tide of aliens without moving an inch.

Several aliens leaped into the air and pounced, their sharp claws slamming into Adamant's heavy armor. The ear-piercing metallic friction sent sparks flying, leaving only shallow white marks on the sturdy armor, which proved utterly impenetrable. The immense force of the violent collision was cushioned by the layers of vibranium armor beneath, keeping him as steady as a rock. He swung his heavy blade in a backhand slash, the cold light tearing through the dim light and shadow.

"With that little strength, you're not even enough to break through my defense."

As the sharp blade slashed down, the hard, alien-shaped shell shattered and collapsed, spraying out dark green acidic blood that landed on the surface of the anti-corrosion armor. The blood was instantly isolated and neutralized by the special coating, leaving no trace of corrosion.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, an alien circled around to the side and lunged at his neck. Zhang Jie nimbly dodged to the side, then slammed his elbow into the alien's head, letting out a cold shout to repel the monster.

"Brother Jie is being ambushed from the left!"

Zhan Lan moved nimbly between the pipes and the shadows of the wreckage. With a flick of her fingertips, several sharpened steel needles shot through the air, precisely guided by her mental power, piercing the weak points in the eye sockets of the attacking alien.

A single strike locks the monster in place, instantly paralyzing it and causing it to collapse.

With a flick of her wrist, her ultra-thin portable throwing knife was instantly drawn. With a flash of cold light, it cleanly severed the weak spot in the soft armor on the other alien's neck, neatly and efficiently finishing the job.

"We've taken care of one, but two more have circled around to Xiao Yi's flank. Be careful!"

"receive!"

Li Xiaoyi immediately turned around, aimed his gun at the two approaching aliens, and decisively pulled the trigger. The muffled gunshot echoed repeatedly in the sealed passageway.

One of the aliens fell to the ground. The remaining one had already pounced on him. He quickly abandoned his gun, drew his blade, and relied on his armor to withstand the claws' bites, gritting his teeth as he swung his blade with all his might.

Zhang Jie caught a glimpse of Xiao Yi struggling out of the corner of his eye. He forcefully repelled the several aliens attacking him with a powerful swing of his sword, and shouted a warning:

"Xiao Yi, don't fight head-on. Use your armor to withstand the damage and then finish off the monster precisely the moment it runs out of old power."

"clear!"

Li Xiaoyi immediately did as instructed, turning to the side to deflect the force. His heavy armor steadily withstood the heavy blow from the alien's claws. Taking advantage of the alien's missed attack and its wide-open opening, he used his short blade to stab the alien's soft abdominal armor, killing it precisely. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

Zhan Lan focused her energy again, and two steel needles shot out simultaneously, locking onto the vital points of the last two remaining aliens. She concluded with a calm tone:

"The last two are cleaned up."

The dim emergency lights flickered erratically, the bulkhead trembled slightly from the continuous impact, and small metal fragments fell in a flurry.

The entire battle was well-organized: Zhang Jie, heavily armored, held off the onslaught head-on, crushing the charging aliens with sheer power.

With her keen senses and skillful use of concealed weapons, Zhan Lan effectively neutralized any hidden dangers and ambushes.

Li Xiaoyi stabilized the flank defense and steadily provided reinforcements, quickly shedding his naivety and timidity in actual combat and becoming increasingly composed.

The corridor was littered with the remains of alien carcasses, and corrosive acidic blood continuously corroded the floor. Further away, deep within the lair...

The dense crawling sounds and roars drew closer once more. Zhan Lan frowned, sensing a new wave of beasts with her spiritual power, her expression suddenly turning serious.

"Brother Jie, the second wave of aliens has arrived, a total of thirty of them, and they are larger and more aggressive than the first wave."

Zhang Jie gripped the heavy sword stained with acidic blood, his armor covered in mottled stains, his eyes gleaming with an ever-sharp and cold light.

"It's alright. With this armor, we can kill as many as come. Xiao Yi adjusted his breathing, kept up with the pace, and didn't fall behind."

"good!"

Li Xiaoyi gripped his weapon tightly, the panic in his eyes completely gone, replaced by a resolute determination honed through bloody battles.

Inside the cold, steel-constructed, sealed cage, the sounds of clashing weapons, booming guns, howling monsters, and corrosive acid intertwined, and the bloody, brutal battle suddenly erupted once again.

After quickly clearing out two waves of alien minions, the three stopped fighting and retreated from the narrow passage along the marked route, clearing out any scattered aliens along the way, and quickly rejoined Zheng Zha's team, who were still fighting hard in the main direction.

The two teams gathered together, and everyone realized that the overwhelming horde of aliens they had just fought so hard against was merely a tactic used by the Alien Queen to deplete the Reincarnation Squad's stamina and ammunition.

Chu Xuan remained expressionless, speaking calmly and rapidly as he analyzed the entire battle situation.

"The Xenomorphs lack advanced collective intelligence and rely entirely on their hunting instincts to charge in packs. The species generally fears high temperatures and intense explosions, and their physical weaknesses are uniform and fixed. As long as the winding secret passages are sealed off and the two core entrances are held, they can barely hold out for a short period of time."
