Chapter 382

Neptune projected the image of the Crimson Blood Beast. It was a giant beast the size of an asteroid. Its body was streamlined, it had no limbs, and it was covered with a layer of extremely fine scales. Its head took up nearly a quarter of its body, and its mouth had more than three hundred razor-sharp silver teeth.

Apart from its white belly, the Crimson Blood Beast's entire body was dark red. Its huge tail fin swayed from side to side, and its pair of pectoral fins vibrated slightly, adjusting the resistance of its forward motion. Its huge body moved quickly through the void. It was almost twice as fast as Gu Ding's Titan Battleship.

The giant beast reminded Gu Ding of the shark models he had seen in the Cerule Museum. The Crimson Blood Beast in front of him was eighty percent similar to the Great White Shark. Other than the color and size of its body, there were only a few minor differences.

Gu Ding returned to the cockpit. Lilliath and the others also realized that their current route had deviated from the original route.

"Gu Ding, what's going on? Why did our route change? "Lilliath could not help but ask.

"A Star Beast is coming for us," Gu Ding said as he let Neptune project the video.

Seeing the huge Crimson Blood Beast with an extremely dangerous aura, everyone's faces did not look too good. They could clearly see the planet as a reference in the video. The Crimson Blood Beast's size was too terrifying.

Especially Faust, his face turned pale. "This is a Crimson Blood Beast … How did we encounter a Crimson Blood Beast? We're dead meat now … "

"Is the Crimson Blood Beast very fierce?" Elsa could not help but ask.

"In terms of ferocity, it's not the strongest among the Astral Beasts." Gu Ding shook his head. "However, this kind of Astral Beast likes to devour flesh and blood, and its tracking ability is extremely strong. This is the biggest problem for us. Moreover, spaceships can't use Space Jump in the Dragon Rebel River. That guy's speed is twice that of our spaceship. It'll catch up to us sooner or later. "

"Is there no way to get out of it? Use the special environment or something. "Lilliath had the same idea as Gu Ding.

Gu Ding still shook his head. "There's no way to get out of it. The Star Beast can withstand some extreme environments. The only way now is to bombard it with the Titan Cannon, but it'll be difficult to kill it completely. "

"Attacking it will only enrage it." Fatt felt that this method would only hasten everyone's death.

"Therefore, we must injure it and make it feel that its life is threatened. Only then will it retreat." Gu Ding also knew that this type of Interstellar Beasts had very high intelligence and would not easily give up on hunting targets. To make it give up, it would have to sense how powerful its opponent was. "Farth, are you ready?"

Faust was taken aback and asked nervously, "You still want me to come at this time?"

"Anyway, after the muzzle locks on to it, all we need to do is press the launch button. Didn't you say you wanted to try the Titan Cannon? Why are you scared now? "Gu Ding teased.

"Who says I don't dare?!" Faust shouted with a guilty conscience.

"I was just kidding. I asked you to fire the cannon so that I could borrow some energy crystals from you. We only exchanged a hundred energy crystals for backup on Risstat because we considered that even if we encountered a Cosmic Behemoth, the possibility of using the Titan Cannon was not high, so we didn't prepare too many. We only prepared a hundred just in case. However, if we encounter a Crimson Blood Beast now, it definitely won't be enough. "

"I do have some Origin Energy Crystals with me. My own spaceship's attack system used Origin Energy Crystals as well. There's no need to borrow them. I'm on this spaceship too. If the spaceship is attacked by a Cosmic Behemoth, my chances of survival are not high. Besides, you guys have helped me out several times over the past few days. If it weren't for you guys, I would have been captured long ago. " Faust was very generous. "Use these two thousand energy crystals for now. If it's not enough, I still have more than seven hundred here. If it's still not enough, I'll have to take out my spaceship and take out the three hundred or so crystals I have in the energy control module. "

"Two thousand should be enough." Gu Ding felt that he would not need that many.

Faust took out the energy crystals from his Inventory and piled them up into a small mountain in the cockpit. Gu Ding turned to look at Robert. "Robert, you're the most familiar with filling up the energy module. You should go."

In fact, this was usually done by Robert. He put away all the energy crystals in his pocket and walked toward the engine room.

Gu Ding looked at the projection of the Crimson Blood Beast on the screen again. "One cannon probably won't do much. Let's try the power of three cannons at once."

Neptune locked the first to third cannons on the Crimson Blood Beast. Seeing the lights on the three buttons flicker, Faust glanced at Gu Ding. Gu Ding nodded at him. Faust pressed the three buttons with both hands at the same time and stared at the projection.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "Three beams of fire exploded almost at the same time and hit the Crimson Blood Beast without any deviation. There was no sound in the image. The fire that shot up into the sky completely engulfed the Crimson Blood Beast. Watching the fire surge several times, Gu Ding and the others could faintly hear the Crimson Blood Beast's miserable cries.

However, the explosion lasted for less than five seconds before the Crimson Blood Beast charged out of the fire. There were some superficial wounds on its body, but it was obvious that it had not suffered any substantial damage. Looking at how it sped up and charged out, it was obvious that it was completely enraged by the attack. As an existence with an intelligence no lower than a human's, it could easily tell that the one attacking it was its prey.

"Its defense is so strong!" Faust could not help but exclaim. "An attack like that would seriously injure an average Supreme Deity even if they don't die. However, this guy only suffered superficial wounds."

"Three cannons were useless. I'll increase it to ten this time!" Gu Ding's expression was still calm.

Neptune locked onto the Crimson Blood Beast again. Faust looked at the flickering firing button and pressed it again.

The flashes of fire lit up one after another. This time, the Crimson Blood Beast was hit. After all, its body was so huge that it was hard not to be hit.

The Crimson Blood Beast struggled in the fire for a moment before charging out again. This time, everyone could clearly see that there were more wounds on the Crimson Blood Beast's body. However, when Neptune played a close-up shot, Gu Ding and the others could see that the Crimson Blood Beast's wounds were healing themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Increase it to twenty!" Gu Ding's eyes were fixed on the Crimson Blood Beast on the screen. He knew very well that this time, no matter the cost, he had to chase the Crimson Blood Beast away. Otherwise, his crew would face the danger of being annihilated.

Twenty cannons were fired at the same time, drowning the Crimson Blood Beast once again. This time, the Crimson Blood Beast tumbled violently in the sea of fire. It took a full three minutes before it broke out of the sea of fire. Its flying speed seemed to have slowed down a little.

"Twenty-seven!" Gu Ding gave the order decisively. Twenty-seven cannons was the total number of Titan Cannons on the Titan Battleship.

Under Gu Ding's command, Neptune mobilized all the Titan Cannons and locked onto the Crimson Blood Beast again. The crazy cannons quickly poured out and engulfed the huge Crimson Blood Beast.

"Aim. Fire again as soon as it escapes the range of the cannons!" Gu Ding's words were not meant for Faust, but for Neptune. Faust had no time to operate the cannons when the twenty cannons were fired at the same time, so Neptune took over control.

Faust did not ask much about it. He only thought that Gu Ding had installed an advanced voice command system on his wristwatch and connected it to the spaceship for voice control.

Five minutes later, the Crimson Blood Beast finally emerged. Neptune immediately controlled the Titan Battleship to fire again, and the fire engulfed the Crimson Blood Beast again.

Gu Ding did this so that the Crimson Blood Beast would not be able to recover in time and consume its energy.

After another four or five minutes, the Crimson Blood Beast emerged again and was engulfed by the cannons again …

After Neptune had bombarded the Crimson Blood Beast five times in a row with twenty-seven cannons, there was no movement in the area covered by the fire for more than ten minutes. This made everyone feel a little strange.

"It can't be dead, can it?" Although Lilliath felt that it was unlikely, the Crimson Blood Beast had not broken through the sea of fire for more than ten minutes, so she could not help but have this suspicion.

"That's unlikely. Although the Titan Battleship is quite powerful, it's not enough to kill an adult Interstellar Beast. Unless we attack it hundreds or thousands of times in a row, it won't be able to recover at all. There's a chance that the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and it will die. However, we've only attacked it five times in a row. At most, it's just a few superficial wounds. It's impossible for it to be hurt fundamentally. "

"It's healing!" Neptune quickly noticed the Crimson Blood Beast's movements. "Our cannons are the most powerful when they explode. Although the fire of the cannons will last for half an hour, after the explosion, only the energy shockwaves are left, and each wave is weaker than the last."

"The Crimson Blood Beast realized that it can't find a chance to recover its energy and injuries, so it decided to heal itself in the fire. Moreover, it seems to have realized that as long as it stays within the range of the fire, we won't launch a new round of attacks. Therefore, the time it hides in the fire is a good opportunity for it to recover its energy and injuries. Although the effect of recovery is much worse than outside the area covered by the fire, it's still effective. "

Gu Ding was impressed by the Interstellar Beast's intelligence after hearing Neptune's explanation. Even humans might not be able to make such a seemingly disadvantageous choice, but it was actually advantageous. Hiding in the area covered by the fire seemed to be constantly affected by the shockwaves, which was disadvantageous. However, in reality, the damage caused by the shockwaves to the Interstellar Beast was very limited. The rate at which the injuries were occurring was far slower than the speed at which its body was healing itself.

"What should we do now?" Neptune was completely at a loss.
