Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1304 Star Sea (109)

Bang!

The Nether Hunter, which attempted a sneak attack but was instead focused down, suddenly exploded into countless points of light.

Perhaps it was due to taking too many armor-piercing rounds, it didn’t condense a Nether Crystal to give back to Wang Chen.

But Wang Chen didn’t mind and instead aimed his gun at the other alien races.

At this moment, dozens of Nether Hunters were already charging towards Wang Chen!

The tragic death of their companion clearly enraged these alien species.

However, in the next moment, they found themselves as if they had suddenly crashed into a quagmire, their entire bodies enveloped by viscous sludge, their original speed plummeted, and their movements slowed down a hundredfold.

These alien species did not know that while Wang Chen was taking out the Gatling Six-Barrel Machine Gun, he also condensed a thick psychic barrier around himself.

After Wang Chen’s spiritual energy stepped into the Eighth Ring level, his control over spiritual energy reached a new height.

Of course, he could directly unleash the power of spiritual energy to annihilate all the Nether Hunters, but this would consume a lot. If there were more alien species entrenched at the B00785 base, it might easily put him in a passive position.

So Wang Chen adopted a "sparing effort" method to construct a death trap.

All the Nether Hunters that crashed into the psychic barrier were bound by this invisible force. They instinctively sensed something was wrong and began to struggle desperately to break free.

At this moment, Wang Chen changed the ammo chain and locked on a Nether Hunter, pulling the trigger.

Since the psychic barrier would also block bullets, under his clever control, this Nether Hunter regained its freedom, only to be ruthlessly struck by armor-piercing rounds.

In an instant, it was shot to pieces!

The fact proved that as long as the firepower is strong enough, no carbon-based or silicon-based life form can withstand it.

Wang Chen destroyed one and moved to the next, unhurried and methodical, mercilessly and efficiently harvesting the Nether Hunters!

Interestingly, many Nether Hunters, after failing to struggle, began to enter a virtualized state.

Their bodies rapidly became transparent, as if merging completely with the surrounding space.

Virtualization is a special ability of the Nether Tribe, allowing them to achieve near-perfect invisibility in this state, detectable only with special equipment.

Moreover, in a virtualized state, Nether Hunters can ignore physical and energy-based attacks, making them extremely powerful and mysterious.

Of course, this ability has limitations, with a very short duration. Moreover, they cannot attack in a virtualized state, resembling a special invincible mode.

These Nether Hunters tried to escape Wang Chen’s control using this ability!

However, Wang Chen was prepared for this.

He suddenly released more powerful spiritual energy, forcefully pressing out the Nether Hunters covered inside from their virtualized state.

The war between the Empire and the Nether Tribe lasted for many years, and methods to counter the Nether Tribe’s virtualization abilities had long been researched.

That method is the force field!

High-frequency force fields not only can detect the Nether Tribe in a virtualized state but also neutralize their abilities. However, activating high-frequency force fields usually requires large-scale equipment, making it difficult to use in single-soldier or small-unit operations.

Heavy mechs can be equipped with them.

Wang Chen didn’t have a mech, so he used spiritual energy to simulate a high-frequency force field, and it indeed worked effectively.

In fact, it worked even better.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

The Nether Hunters pressed by strong spiritual energy, as soon as they exited the virtualized state, burst apart like blown-up balloons, instantly turning into countless points of light falling to the ground.

Quickly condensing into pieces of glowing Nether Crystals!

This strike resulted in the death of more than thirty Nether Hunters, much more efficient than the Gatling gun.

Of course, Wang Chen also consumed a considerable amount of spiritual power in doing so.

With a single thought, he instantly withdrew all the released spiritual energy.

The Nether Hunters, who lost the binding and hadn’t entered a virtualized state, suddenly regained freedom and scattered like startled birds, flailing their tendrils while appearing panicked and utterly defeated.

The Nether Tribe is not devoid of emotion like machines; they can also feel pain and fear. Wang Chen’s slaughter just now undoubtedly frightened these alien species, instinctively opting to flee.

As a result, invisible blades pierced through the air, penetrating their bodies.

These invisible blades were all materialized from Wang Chen’s spiritual energy. Each one contained immense power, capable of erupting upon hitting the target, causing even greater damage.

This is a spiritual strike that Wang Chen developed himself, and it was the first time applying it in actual combat.

Then, a dozen or so Nether Hunters became test sacrifices!

When the last Nether Hunter turned into a Nether Crystal, this brief yet intense battle ended.

Wang Chen collected all the spoils of war.

Even though he’s not short on money now, these Nether Crystals won’t go to waste here; they could be used to exchange for resources.

After clearing the battlefield, he took out a tent, a gas stove, pots, and ingredients from the Starry Seas Ring and set them up in the open area of the B00785 base.

Wang Chen first brewed himself a pot of coffee and then made hotpot.

The light of the gas flame dispelled the darkness and brought warmth. As the soup boiled in the pot, the aroma of the food spread through the air.

If someone else were here, they wouldn’t dare to do this on such a perilous planet.

But Wang Chen actually hoped the Nether Tribe would come over.

And indeed, as proven, the remnants of the Nether Tribe on Tampas Star were indeed a bunch of stragglers. After Wang Chen took out dozens at such a large base, no new ones appeared.

This simple yet sumptuous dinner was not even finished when Wang Chen suddenly felt something and looked towards a distant corner.

There were people!

They had just arrived, infiltrating through a pipe into this area, totaling five people.

Though they moved very cautiously, they couldn’t escape Wang Chen’s perception.

Their shock was evident, as seeing Wang Chen enjoying hotpot and red wine here would make anyone feel incredulous, even wondering if they were hallucinating.

Out of caution, this small team dared not approach Wang Chen, observing from a distance instead.

Wang Chen did not greet them either, leisurely lighting a cigarette for himself.

A few more minutes later, those people couldn’t hold back any longer and slowly came closer.

Wang Chen watched as they approached and got a clear look at them.

They were all wearing combat suits, holding assault rifles in their hands, each carrying a backpack, their expressions wary and solemn.

Even though Wang Chen was all alone and unarmed, they dared not lower their guard, aiming their guns at him.

"Who are you?"

One of them stopped about thirty to forty meters away and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?"
