Chapter 3061: DangerEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Chi chi, chi chi..."

Under the effects of the Eyes of Hell, the ship’s external energy barrier immediately emitted a chi-chi sizzling sound as its energy was rapidly absorbed and digested by the vines.

Only then did the various allied alien races finally realize something was wrong.

No—this vine... it seemed to be coming for them!

"Attack the vines!"

Each ship gradually reacted and began controlling their energy weapons to try to attack the vines attached to their energy barriers.

However, the vines had strong defensive capabilities.

Even if they were completely destroyed by beam weapons, new vines would quickly grow back along the ship’s energy barriers.

D*mn it!

With their current firepower output, they couldn’t deal with the vines at all!

Worse, the origin of the vine infestation happened to be from various Shadow Clan ships. With the situation unclear, the other alliances didn’t dare attack Shadow Clan ships directly.

To make things worse, outside, there were still swarms of troublesome mutant worm creatures that needed to be dealt with.

"Hurry! Prepare for emergency transition! Disengage from combat!"

The alien captain saw the ship’s energy levels dropping rapidly in a short amount of time and immediately broke into a cold sweat.

The key problem was—he still had no idea what was going on.

Weren’t those vines emerging from the ships belonging to the Elven Clan and Shadow Clan?

Were they enemies or allies?

Forget it.

With things so unclear, they might as well escape first and preserve their own safety!

The main control room operators were also sweating profusely as they reported, "Report! The fleet flagship has locked the transition range... we cannot execute a jump."

"Detach from the fleet and force the jump!"

"Detected spatial instability surrounding the ship. Forced transition may fail."

The captain shouted, "Didn’t you hear me?! I said initiate forced transition!"

To hell with it.

In this situation, forget about alliance forces or companions still outside on missions.

Run—if they escaped quickly enough, they might still have a chance.

"Understood!"

A state of chaos erupted among the allied fleets. As the situation continued to worsen, some ships initiated forced transitions while tangled in vines.

Transition failed!

Light began to cover the exterior of some ships, but was quickly disrupted by violent spatial fluctuations, resulting in failed transitions.

Only the two ships that had immediately fled upon sensing danger successfully escaped the crisis.

The rest, just a little slower in reacting, ended up with their ships covered by layers of vines. Once most of the barrier was entangled, transition operations could no longer be performed.

Even forced transition only failed, causing massive damage to the transition systems.

At this moment, Fang Heng stood atop one of the Shadow Clan’s ships. Seeing the ships being bound by Abe Akaya’s vines, a faint smile curled on his lips.

Abe Akaya, who had advanced with the power of hell, now had vines with multiple additional effects.

For example, the eye-like pupils resembling the Eyes of Jealousy could cast illusions and corrode energy barriers. The vines’ entanglement inflicted spatial rift effects, generating spatial fluctuations to prevent anything entangled from escaping through spatial abilities. They could also absorb energy through tiny embedded spikes.

Abe Akaya’s hidden abilities were far from just that.

"Report! Spatial turbulence is intensifying! We... we’re unable to teleport..."

Each ship found that even emergency transition attempts failed. They were tightly trapped by the vines and completely immobilized!

Despair began to engulf the fleets.

The aliens aboard could only watch helplessly as layers of dark-colored vines enclosed their energy barriers until the ship monitors displayed nothing but dense vines and blinking tiny pupils embedded within them.

The outer energy barrier’s energy values plummeted rapidly until finally, with a loud bang, the energy barrier shattered. The vines instantly pressed down on the ship, wrapping around it tightly.

Vines forced their way in through all the exits and even the tiniest crevices.

"Report! Vines have breached the ship!"

Just as a reporting alien soldier said half his sentence, a loud bang sounded. A massive vine smashed against the main control room’s reinforced glass, leaving behind a giant web-like crack.

The hall immediately fell silent.

The glass of a spaceship capable of space travel was of the highest grade.

But now, just one impact already cracked it like this?

Bang! Bang bang!!

The tips of the outer vines rapidly twisted into spirals and rammed against the glass again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom!!"

Each strike left behind thick webbed cracks.

Until the cracks formed a complete web.

"Boom!!!"

The entire layer of glass shattered with a deafening crash.

Dense vines spilled through the broken opening.

"Fire!!"

All the guards in the control room raised their guns and fired wildly at the vines.

But it was useless!

The vines resisted most of the beam weapon attacks. The thinner tendrils shot in from all directions, wrapping tightly around the ankles of the crew and violently yanking them into the air.

The captain suddenly felt something trip him underfoot. In the next instant, the view before him flipped 180 degrees. A single thought flashed through his mind.

It’s over!

...

The Shadow Clan’s main combat force was still trapped within the endless licker swarms.

Wave after wave of mutant worm creatures fell.

But it was like they never ended.

The Shadow Clan’s chief commander had already noticed—

The mutant worms’ special abilities were incredibly difficult to handle. Truly killing one was extremely troublesome, and the forecast showed that they would be locked in battle for quite a while.

Suddenly, several squads within the force received emergency signals from their motherships.

Despite this area being filled with strong electromagnetic interference and spatial fluctuations, their race had special messaging abilities that allowed simple signal transmissions.

"Commander, several allied races received warning signals from their ships. Our vessels stationed outside may have come under swarm attack."

After receiving feedback from other alliances, the Shadow Clan raised its alert level.

Although they believed their ships’ defense systems could handle a few mutant worms, the current prolonged deadlock with the swarms wasn’t sustainable.

It was better to retreat and defend the ships.

The Shadow Clan made the correct decision and issued orders for an organized withdrawal.

Cole Karot also received news through the communication system that the ships were under attack. A deep chill ran through his spine.

So it was a diversion strategy, huh?

Although he had already suspected Fang Heng would use the main force’s departure as a chance to strike at the fleet’s base, he wasn’t confident.

Cole Karot had considered stalling for time for Fang Heng, but with several allied races receiving distress signals and the Shadow Clan issuing withdrawal orders, there was no way to stop it. He could only try to send a signal to Fang Heng and warn him to prepare early.

"Fang Heng, I’ve done all I can. Just don’t die too horribly."

Cole Karot couldn’t help in any other way. He could only mutter silently to himself.

Little did he know—

Fang Heng was already wrapping things up on his end.
