Chapter 25 Abyss Star Conch Nebuos
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past five years, the Holy Terra Empire's conquest of the Star Beast Jungle world has proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
With the help of the indigenous tribes, they have established dozens of positions of varying sizes, which are scattered like nails across the land of the Star Beast Jungle World (referring to the land near the teleportation portal).
Within the Holy Terra Empire's territory, brand-new houses are springing up, clean streets crisscross, and bustling markets are teeming with people, creating a scene of prosperity.
Many natives who originally lived in the wild and were threatened by star beasts have chosen to move into these strongholds.
They cultivate and work here, providing various resources and labor for the Holy Terra Empire.
At the same time, they also began to learn Common Tongue, accept the beliefs of the Cult of Life, use the magical techniques of the Cult of Life, and gradually integrate into the system of the Holy Terra Empire.
The lives of these indigenous people are worlds apart from their previous precarious existence in the wilderness.
However, Bai Zhe knew very well that this was only a temporary calm.
The most terrifying enemy in the Star Beast Jungle World—the Star Beasts—has not yet been completely eradicated.
They still roam every corner of the world, and could launch an attack at any time.
Just three years ago, a position furthest from the portal was attacked by a giant rat-like star beast. It seems that when the giant rat fell, it hit other star beasts, resulting in a counterattack from those other star beasts, which then drove it to the Holy Terra Empire's position.
The star beast was not large, only a few dozen meters long, and it was injured, but it still displayed terrifying destructive power.
With its sharp teeth and claws, it easily tore through the Holy Terra Empire's defenses, razing a newly established position to the ground.
Hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of indigenous people were killed in the attack, a truly horrific scene.
Although the giant rat star beast was eventually destroyed by the army of the Holy Terra Empire.
However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for everyone: the threat of the Star Beasts still exists, and is far more terrifying than imagined.
Even the smallest star beast, when injured, can easily destroy a position and cause the deaths of hundreds of people.
What terrifying power must those even larger and more powerful star beasts possess?
On this day, the sky of the Star Beast Jungle World was once again replaced by the starry sky. A huge star, carrying an aura of destruction, fell towards the ground.
This time, the location where the star fell was not far from the portal.
Before the stars even landed, a terrifying pressure had already enveloped the entire portal defense line of the Holy Terra Empire.
Everyone felt a pang of fear, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats, making it hard for them to breathe.
"What... what level of star beast is this?"
Commander Bard stared at the enormous star in the sky, his face turning deathly pale.
He could sense that the aura emanating from this star beast was more powerful and more terrifying than any star beast he had encountered before.
Even the berserk giant serpent star beast paled in comparison.
"All units, prepare for battle!"
Despite being filled with fear, Bard dutifully issued the order.
However, this time, the power displayed by the Star Beast far exceeded everyone's expectations.
It has already begun to damage the surrounding environment even before it has landed.
Under its oppressive force, the earth began to tremble violently and gradually cracked open, revealing deep, bottomless fissures.
Some positions that were too close to it began to collapse and turn into ruins under its terrifying pressure.
boom!!!
Finally, the star fell to the ground with a deafening roar.
A huge figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a star beast that looked like a conch shell. It was extremely large, with a length of over a kilometer, much larger than any star beast that had appeared before.
Its body is covered with a thick, rock-like shell that shimmers with an eerie light, as if countless stars are flowing within it.
Beneath its body was a huge, constantly writhing mass of flesh covered with countless tentacles, each with sharp barbs.
Its head has two enormous eyes that gleam with a cold light, coldly watching everything.
"My Lord... what... what kind of monster is this...?"
A soldier stared at the terrifying star beast before him, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and his weapon fell to the ground.
Not only him, but almost everyone who saw this star beast was terrified.
They had never seen such a huge creature, nor had they ever felt such terrifying pressure.
In front of this star beast, they felt as insignificant as ants, with absolutely no chance of resistance.
"Abyssal Star Conch Nebuos…"
Through his information perspective synchronized with the star beast, Bai Zhe "saw" the name of this star beast.
"Abyssal Star Conch, this is the first time I've seen one with a name," Bai Zhe thought to himself.
To Bai Zhe's surprise, simply standing there was enough to cause enormous damage to the surrounding environment.
Under its oppressive power, the four positions located far from the teleportation portal collapsed and turned into ruins.
Thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of indigenous people were buried under the rubble before they could even scream, their fate unknown.
"This star beast... is indeed a formidable opponent."
"Your name is worth remembering."
Bai Zhe issued a divine oracle to the army of the Holy Terra Empire:
"At all costs, launch a probing attack on it!"
"I will personally take action to destroy this monster!"
