CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 242: GAMMA ILLUSION, LOW-END VERSION (TWO IN ONE)

At the corner of Sealing Demon Mountain, more than ten Drue Star People transformed into various monsters, unleashing colorful energy beams, all of which were intercepted by the spaceship’s defense system.

"Boom!!"

Under the overwhelming bombardment of the energy beams, the spaceship’s defensive barrier soon began to crack.

"Captain, the energy barrier is about to break."

In the sky, a black winged dragon spoke in human language.

A white horse with antlers and wings scanned the surroundings and said, "Surround them first. Once the nearby Drue Star People arrive, we’ll strike them down and let them witness the demise of the Demon Eye Star People with their own eyes. That’ll save us a lot of trouble."

"Captain, you always have a plan. Brothers, hold back..."

With one order, the energy attacks from more than ten "monsters" suddenly weakened by seventy percent, allowing the spaceship’s energy barrier to quickly repair itself.

Above the clouds, several drones continued transmitting live footage of Sealing Demon Mountain.

Molu Mountain Range, Earth’s temporary outpost.

Meeting Hall.

Leng Xinlan sat at the head seat, brushing a strand of hair from her temple. Her delicate face was adorned with a playful smile.

"Haha, interesting. I wonder who leaked this video. Those Demon Eye Star People are really out of luck."

Around the table, several men and women sat upright, not daring to relax in front of Leng Xinlan.

"My lady, these Drue Star People should be aware that someone intentionally leaked the video. Why would they still attack the Demon Eye Star People knowing it’s a trap?" someone asked.

Leng Xinlan stared at the video footage without shifting her gaze, a faint smile on her lips.

"It’s an open conspiracy. Whether they want to or not, they must deal with these Demon Eye Star People to give an explanation to their kin.

After all, the fact that they’re here in the Molu Mountain Range hunting Drue Traitors means, to some extent, they represent the intentions of the Drue leadership.

If they ignore this, they’ll face consequences when they return.

Besides, Drue Planet can’t afford to be weak anymore. Otherwise, not to mention us on Earth, even the Giant God Race will be the first to look down on them."

The crowd nodded slightly.

"My lady, what could be the ulterior motive behind this scheme, and how should we guard against it?"

Leng Xinlan contemplated for a moment and said, "We’re here to assist the Drue Star People in capturing traitors. We won’t be staying long, so let’s meddle in these matters as little as possible."

"Understood."

...

Meanwhile, inside the spaceship.

After the initial panic, Charming Eyes gradually calmed down, her expression haughty.

"Luanyan, Flower Eye, these Drue Star People couldn’t even breach the spaceship’s defensive shield. Looks like you’ve been worrying unnecessarily."

The two had grim faces; unlike the "naive" and "inexperienced" Charming Eyes, they weren’t so easily assured.

The monsters these Drue Star People transformed into had strength at least Level 3, Star 4. Six or seven were even Level 3, Star 5, their capabilities equal to or surpassing their own.

Level 3, Star 5 Drue Star People should have no problem breaking through the spaceship’s defensive shield.

They were clearly stalling for time!

Though they couldn’t yet discern the exact reason.

"Miss Charming Eyes, please remain seated."

"Swordfish Eye, take care of Miss Charming Eyes. We must break through their siege immediately."

With that, the two became solemn and started the spaceship’s emergency escape mode.

This made Swordfish Eye realize that the video leak had brought them significant trouble.

It might end disastrously.

"Buzz!!"

Soon, several cannon barrels emerged from the disc-shaped spaceship, energy beams gathered and fired, exploding in the sky and forming a thick mist.

Moments later, a small shuttle-shaped spacecraft silently emerged from the mist, escaping at super-speed dozens of times faster than sound.

"Not good, Captain, a spacecraft has escaped!"

The flying eagle monster, highly perceptive, immediately alerted.

"They’ve fled. Lu Wu, Wusi, you two are fast—catch up with them. We’ll follow shortly."

"Yes, Captain!"

The flying eagle monster and the giant winged dragon took the order, flapped their wings, unleashing fierce gales that enveloped their bodies before vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

...

A hundred kilometers away, atop a hill, Qin Shou stared at the communicator screen. Seeing that so many people couldn’t stop Charming Eyes and the others from escaping, he cursed them as useless.

Qin Shou stretched, lazily relieving his muscles.

"Well then, you bunch of unreliable fools, guess I’ll help you Drue Star People save face."

After all, the spacecraft happened to be fleeing in the direction of Qin Shou’s position.

Who could blame them?

...

Above the clouds, the spacecraft tore through the air at high speed.

"Luanyan, Flower Eye, what are you doing? With your strength, there’s no need to run away."

Charming Eyes looked annoyed but still failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

"Miss Charming Eyes, they have us outnumbered. We must prioritize your safety." Luanyan’s expression was grave.

Charming Eyes snorted coldly, "What about the spaceship? That was a gift from Mother—are you just going to leave it there?"

Flower Eye replied helplessly, "Miss Charming Eyes, we had no choice. The spaceship’s speed is far inferior to this escape craft. Your safety comes first..."

"Enough, I don’t want to hear it! Losing the spaceship is fine, but you’d better take me somewhere more exciting." Charming Eyes seemed on the verge of throwing a tantrum.

"Uh..."

The two exchanged glances. Fun? They were close to losing their lives already.

"Screech!!"

"Shriek!!"

Suddenly, two piercing cries echoed, sending sound waves crashing against the escape craft, causing it to shake violently and triggering alarms.

"Warning! Warning! Targets detected thirty seconds from overtaking the escape craft. Activate final acceleration mode?"

Luanyan cursed under his breath and embedded two Constant Star Energy Crystals into the craft’s energy source.

"Buzz... Boom!!"

The escape craft shuddered, its speed surging. All four occupants felt intense heart palpitations, then their ears filled with the sound of warnings being cleared.
