Chen Fei himself lacks any defense skills and escape skills. With the guarantee of S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown, he can fight without any reservations.

"Adam, set the enemy target at a level 3 alert distance of 5000 kilometers, level 2 alert distance of 1000 kilometers, level 1 alert distance of 500 kilometers." As Chen Fei speaks, he secretly releases an X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor.

In a combat environment where aerodynamics don't need to be considered, the Mechanical Dragon is actually a very good choice, suitable for both long-range combat and close fighting.

The closest level 1 alert distance can give Chen Fei two to three seconds of warning time. Although it seems like a fleeting moment, in hand-to-hand combat, a second can decide many things.

Boom!~

A weak flash of fire bursts in the void.

A Tactical Jet is directly hit by a space creature and explodes. Without air, natural combustion is impossible, but the firearm ammunition and life support systems still contain oxygen components and compressed high-pressure oxygen air, resulting in a combustion reaction during the explosion.

Adam: Tactical Jets decreased by 1. Current battle deployment 11 jets/12 jets.

Speed was always the greatest advantage of a Combat Aircraft. Once the advantage fails to hold, it will immediately be overpowered.

Chen Fei's Tactical Jet is infinitely close to a true Crystal Jet, but without the Sky Knight to pilot it, he could never achieve hundred percent, or even hundred-and-twenty percent, full combat strength.

"This guy's maneuverability is too fast."

Chen Fei can only watch helplessly as a group of missiles tail off behind that slippery monster, eventually running out of propellant and exploding spontaneously in the void.

Even with Railgun Weapons offering speed boosts in the vacuum zero-gravity environment of space, they still struggle to match the opponent's agile stature. Even Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" can't predict the space creature's evasive direction in the next second, rendering preemptive shooting completely useless; most shots end up missing.

Despite this, one can only continue to rely on concentrated fire to impede the opponent from constantly approaching the small navy ship. The 1000-kilometer safe distance obtained by the S-Class Space Ability User through the Psi Skill of "Space Transmission" is gradually dwindling.

The safe alert circle set by Chen Fei for Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" continues being triggered, forcing Heseman Brown to launch his Psi Skill once more, instantly escaping the pursuit of the space creature.

However, a 1000-kilometer distance would seem very far within the atmosphere, but appears insignificant in space.

Momentarily losing its target, the space creature locks onto the small navy ship once more.

At this moment, Chen Fei releases a second Attack Ship, once again housing a Target Tower Cold Fusion Energy Tower to maintain basic crystal energy support.

"Mr. Brown!"

Chen Fei again greets the S-Class Space Ability User.

"Let's go!"

The next second, the small navy ship, along with Chen Fei, disappears from the previous location.

The third Attack Ship is released, and with the positions just happen to form an acute triangle's apex.

"Beast-fighting Arena" strategy takes shape!

The target is singular, and planed battle formation is enough to handle it.

With three crossed firing points, firepower can be unleashed freely, minimizing the chance of hitting allies.

Another Tactical Jet, under an active containment strategy, is brutally hit by the space creature and explodes. Even with the Repulsion Shield and Protective Barriers activated, it still can't withstand the vicious impact exceeding its limits.

"This guy is hard to deal with!"

Miyoshi Xuesen cannot help at all; he just watches the three-dimensional holographic projection. The three Attack Ships open their side-shell firepower, while the small navy ship stands as bait at the center of the triangular battle formation, drawing the space creature into the Attack Ship's fire net.

Only Laser Beam and Particle Accelerator, these two types of Directed-energy Weapons, can threaten the opponent; others like missiles and Railgun Weapons only serve a harassment purpose, basically better than nothing.

Deploying Element Annihilation Bomb might directly annihilate the opponent, but the result of total destruction would yield no gain. This is not what Chen Fei wants; the best result is live capture, the second best is acquiring the dead body, and the worst would be nothing left. If he encounters such an opponent next time, he would still face the same difficulty and inability.

Hundreds of tons of Aerial bombs with a layer of thicker armor float quietly in the void, each surrounded by a Worker Bee-1 Mechanical Being pushing it, along with thousands of Directional Anti-Infantry Mines, given some thrust by Railgun, drifting towards the center of the "Beast-fighting Arena" battle formation formed by the three Attack Ships.

Worker Bee-1 Mechanical Beings are competent for many tasks in the space zero-gravity environment, resembling ancient death squads, fearlessly pushing weapons to designated positions.

"Three Attack Ships, use the Railgun to project White Phosphorus Bombs and Smoke Bombs, release battlefield fog!"

Chen Fei begins adding into the "Beast-fighting Arena," giving his side a slight advantage. Even if it can't directly harm the opponent, small traps similar to trip ropes accumulate, causing considerable trouble to the opponent.

Small scattered explosions continue to erupt in the void. The flying shrapnel cannot penetrate the space creature's Scale Armor, but effectively disrupts its actions. Projected to the battlefield, White Phosphorus Bombs flash with dazzling white light, releasing large amounts of white smoke mingling with the black smoke from Smoke Bombs.

Thin smoke clusters gradually expand, connecting bit by bit. The agile space creature exhibits some reluctance towards the smoke, daring not easily approach, even obliviously passing through.

Whether white smoke or black smoke, neither possesses any lethality, but what deadly intent hides under the smoke?

Several consecutive flashes, tons of Aerial bombs explode in the void. The vacuum environment limits the explosive power, confining the shockwave to a small area, far less effective than within the atmosphere. The lethality depends entirely on the physical collision of shrapnel, so Chen Fei added a thick layer of shrapnel armor on these Aerial bombs. Countless ultra-hard alloy steel triangles instantly fill the area, and some successful strikes hit the space creature, sparking on its Scale Armor.

The kinetic energy from the shrapnel affects the creature's movement, a few Laser Beams and Particle Beams seize the chance and strike.

A Particle Beam successfully penetrates the opponent's tail; since it's not a vital spot, the thumb-sized penetration wound is nothing against the thick body. But this sight makes Chen Fei involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief, thankful it's not impervious to swords and guns; otherwise, he would have turned away without hesitation.

Attack, defense, and mobility—if any two elements do not hold superiority, then this battle wouldn't be worthwhile.

If unbeatable, just run away; the best strategy among thirty-six stratagems is a tactical retreat, and it's not shameful at all.

"Smoke seems to be effective, that thing does not dare to venture into the fog zone."

Miyoshi Xuesen evidently notices this as well.

"It uses its eyes to identify targets!"

Chen Fei exchanged glances with the Monk; the two shared the same hero insight and nodded simultaneously.

In the cosmic void, air is non-existent, and using ultrasonic positioning is surely unfeasible over such great distances.

Infrared reacts with numerous energies and explosion interferences, especially distant constant star light containing infrared rays in various visible and invisible spectrums, making infrared thermal imaging visual identification quite challenging.

So only electromagnetic waves and naked eye optical observation remain methods; as a living creature, those eyes on its ferocious head are not mere decoration, making the possibility of naked eye observation largest. Chen Fei's strategic "Battlefield Fog" might be unintentionally effective, as he possesses Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" interfacing with various detection modules, not heavily relying on naked eye vision, hence the balance points steadily tilt in Chen Fei's favor.

Heseman Brown, always ready to unleash Psi Skill, immediately suggests, "That creature uses its eyes to see? How about giving it a Flash Bomb, blind its damned eyes!"

Flash Bombs are the best weapons against naked eye vision.

"It might not be effective!"

Chen Fei knows the void doesn't lack bright sources like constant stars; creatures able to freely move and survive in the void may adapt to sudden light changes even if possessing naked eye vision.

Despite verbally disagreeing, he still lets the three Attack Ships collectively launch hundreds of Flash Bombs.

Almost simultaneously, dazzling light bursts within the encircling range of the three Attack Ships, sufficient to pierce through the smoke cluster, seeming hazy yet clear.
