Chapter 696: Violence!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Now that they both understand the current situation, this father and daughter couple began to fight for real in the depths of the trench.

Ling Lan put all her effort into fighting with Ling Xiao, a god-class operator. It was because Ling Lan knew that even if she tried her hardest, she would only be able to go a few rounds. If she still kept holding back, she was looking for beating.

It was just as Ling Lan had thought. Right as Ling Xiao retaliated, she was immediately under pressure the entire time and was getting pushed back from each attack. She could only block and not have any chance to counterattack.

“RAWR?” The creature that was silently watching the prey that had entered his domain, was now very confused. It didn’t understand why these two creatures that came together began to fight each other. Was it because they weren’t together?

It had a sudden realization and began to move about. The two creatures that came from above, one wasn’t very dangerous, but the other one terrified it. It was also this fear that made it watch them from the sidelines. It was the reason why it chose to continue to hide silently and not attack recklessly.

This creature that was hiding in a corner was the ruler of these waters. No other creature dared to enter its domain. Everyone that had entered his domain had already been devoured by this creature. Originally, after these two entered its domain, it was preparing to gobble them up. However, when it was about to make a move, it felt a terrifying aura around the prey. This aura was very familiar. The high ruler of this planet also had this type of aura. This creature had once seen other creatures that were stronger than it be ruthlessly torn apart by this high ruler…

It believed in its instincts because from when it was born, it lived through many dangerous situations using its instincts and safely lived until now. This included the time when it revolted against the high ruler, but it sensed the feeling of death and decisively chose to submit. This also helped it live until now as well… Its other companions however did not believe in their instincts and were killed by the high ruler in the end.

The creature was originally planning to give up hunting them instantly had a change of heart because of Ling Lan and Ling Xiao’s actions. It was because this creature had not eaten meat for a very long time. Ever since the apocalypse, the temperature of these waters kept getting higher and higher. The organisms in the lake started decreasing and in the end, only it was left… Even if it ate plants, it could still survive. However, eating meat once in a while was also good.

The creature felt the saliva dripping from his mouth. It looked towards its prey. One it didn’t dare to attack. If the two of them were on the same side, then it would of course not be greedy. However, now it seemed one of the prey could be caught…

Moving away from the creature that was debating with itself in a dark corner, on the other side of the water, Ling Lan felt her entire body completely drained of energy after only blocking eight hits from Ling Xiao… However, Ling Xiao didn’t hold back and followed up with another attack that was going straight for the helmet of the mecha.

Bang! The two large swords clashed forcefully once again. Ling Lan’s mecha was pushed back. Normally, Ling Lan would immediately reposition the mecha, but because of how tired she was, she actually couldn’t reposition it in time.

A chance! The creature hiding in the darkness saw this and became excited. It didn’t even think for a second and four tentacles silently moved towards Ling Lan. This creature had a habit of ambushing in this way. The tentacles silently yet swiftly rose up from the darkness, looking to capture Ling Lan’s mecha.

“Shu, shu” The large sword Ling Xiao was using to attack Ling Lan suddenly slanted and moved a little bit. Two tentacles had been severed by Ling Xiao. At that moment, Ling Lan had already noticed the attack of the other two tentacles. She didn’t choose to dodge and also didn’t use her large sword to block. Instead, she let the tentacles wrap around her mecha.

In its blind spot, a powerful laser rifle slipped into the mecha’s left hand.

The tentacles pulled Ling Lan rapidly down into the depth of the trench. Ling Lan’s mecha was instantly dragged to a corner of the trench.

The creature that attacked Ling Lan wasn’t stupid. It’s tentacles had wrapped around the two arms of Ling Lan’s mecha. After watching the two of them fight, it knew that these two organisms used their two arms to attack. As long as it controlled their arms, there wouldn’t be any danger.

Of course, the creature wouldn’t choose to attack Ling Xiao. It didn’t want to die just yet. Just from watching the two of them fight, the creature knew that Ling Xiao was much stronger that it was… If it wasn’t because of his hunger, it wouldn’t jump into the fray and fight over the prey.

Of course, the reason why the creature dared to make a move was because in its mind, whoever acquired the prey would be able to eat it. No one would fight to the death for food.

The creature clearly thought Ling Lan and Ling Xiao had similar habits. This was also the reason it was doomed to be living a terrible life.

Ling Xiao’s had a glint in his eyes as he saw that his daughter being pulled away by the tentacles. Although he knew of his daughter’s plan, the creature was still taking away his daughter right under his nose… This was definitely something Ling Xiao couldn’t endure.

His mecha then disappeared from its original position. In the next second, his mecha appeared at the end of the direction Ling Lan was being pulled towards. The outer shell of the mecha changed into a standard ace mecha in the blink of an eye.

The creature was still excited about catching its prey, it did not notice a mecha had appeared above its head. The barrel of a large beam gun was silently aimed at its head. If the creature harmed his daughter in any way, Ling Xiao would blow the creature into a million pieces in an instant.

The creature, that didn’t have a sense of crisis, had its eyes fixed on the prey it had snatched. It opened its drooling mouth and ruthlessly bit down on its prey…

On Ling Lan’s side, she saw that the ground suddenly had a large crack appearing. The crack suddenly rose up as if it was a large mouth and bit on the right leg of her mecha.

Ling Lan activated her beam shield in an instant!

“Crunch!” It bit down on the mecha’s leg with a large force. If Ling Lan didn’t use a high capacity beam shield energy storage unit, the energy level of the beam shield would probably have been broken through from this bite. Even so, Ling Lan’s mecha’s beam shield energy levels dropped to nothing instantly. The entire mecha instantly became dark and would not be able to take on another bite like the last one.

“Ow, ow, ow!” The creature instantly spat out the leg of the mecha. It even saw that one of its teeth was spat out as well. It began to have tears form in its eyes from the pain and the thought of losing its tooth.

“Wah wah wah!” It was originally filled with hope that this prey would be full of delicious meat but all it got was a tough bone… Additionally, was it because it hadn’t eaten meat for so long and only ate plants, causing his teeth to no longer be able to bite down on bone? “Wah wah wah, my little tooth!”

While the creature was still sad about his broken tooth, Ling Lan knew that she was in a dangerous situation. The laser rifle in her left hand suddenly shot out a slew of beams and hit the tentacles wrapped around her mecha’s arms. The tentacles were instantly sliced apart by the beams.

The prey didn’t taste any good and wanted to escape. This was definitely a provocation!

The creature became angry. Its tentacles were like trees after a first spring shower, violently rising up from the ground. It wanted to hold its prey in place then think about how to eat it.

Although its idea was perfect, Ling Lan didn’t give it that chance. The laser rifle’s consecutive attacks destroyed the tentacles one by one. It created an opening and Ling Lan moved her mecha out of the grasp of the tentacles. The large sword in her right hand instantly slashed towards the direction the tentacles had risen up from.

Right here!

If Ling Lan still didn’t know the location of the main body after so long, the time she spent in the learning space all these years would have been considered a waste of time. She would definitely be taken back into the learning space by all the instructors and relearn everything.

The large sword ruthlessly hit the ground. A black ink-like liquid spewed out from the ground. A painful roar echoed and a shapeless spiritual attack flew towards Ling Lan.

Ling Lan activated the Heptashield and countered the soundwave attack.

“RAWR?” This was the first time this creature’s spiritual attack was countered. The tentacles that were about to attack Ling Lan suddenly froze and floated in the water.

Seeing this, Ling Lan moved her mecha and pulled on one of the tentacles. She saw half of the large circular body be pulled out of the mud at the bottom of the trench.

“Spiritual attack? Then I’ll let you have a taste of what a real spiritual attack is like.” Ling Lan saw that the tentacle monster planning to attack again, thus she sent a spiritual charge straight towards the circular body.

As the creature roared once again, countless tentacles around the circular body began to tremble intensely. The tentacles that were closer to the main body began wrapping around it as though to protect itself from the next attack.

“You think you can block the attack if you do that?” Ling Lan snorted coldly. Her left hand pulled on the tentacle in her hand. The circular body instantly flew up from the bottom of the trench and towards Ling Lan.

Ling Lan decisively threw down the large sword. Her large clenched fist ruthlessly punched the circular main body.

“This is for making me look bad in front of my dad! And this, and this too!” Ling Lan didn’t forget what it did to her and was full of resentment. Now that she saw the culprit, how could she hold in her anger?

Ling Lan, who had been the pillar holding together her group of friends, as luck would have it, showed her weak side to the person she wanted acknowledgment from the most. This made Ling Lan feel irritated. She actually wanted to use her actions to tell Ling Xiao that she was able to hold her own. Unfortunately, things didn’t go the way she wanted. Her opening display was not very good, especially since she would rarely have a chance to go on a mission together with her dad.

Just like that, one punch, two punches, three punches… Each punch hit the flesh, pushing away the tentacles, revealing the circular main body. Ling Lan didn’t stop and was still punching. Her punches made the creature constantly roared in pain. Not long after, wounds started to open up on the circular body, black ink-like fluid flowed out from them. As Ling Lan’s fists hit it one after the other, more liquid slowly flowed from the main body.

Ling Xiao watched as the stubborn and unreasonable fists of Ling Lan continued pummeling the unknown creature. His face twitched a little bit. He decided to turn around and pretend he didn’t see the gory scene. He definitely wouldn’t admit that the violent mecha operator down there was his daughter…

It should be known that him and Lan Luofeng were warm and friendly people and were definitely not violent. Their daughter also inherited their virtues and was a kind and cute young lady… Thus, he was definitely hallucinating!

Chapter 697: Acting Cute?

“RAWR!” Ling Lan suddenly stopped whaling her fists and looked at the circular body that she had already punched countless of holes in. What she heard just now, was it what she thought?

“Rawr! Rawr!” Seeing Ling Lan stopping her fists, the circular body suddenly called out excitedly. That excitement seemed as though it was rejoicing that it managed to gain a new lease of life.

“Dad, did you hear what I did? Ling Lan turned around and asked her father, who was coldly watching from the side, with uncertainty. She could actually understand the creature’s words. Could it be that she had already been possessed by this creature’s father without her noticing?

Ling Lan shuddered at the thought and immediately examined her body. After finding that everything was normal, she was no longer worried.

“Mhm, that’s right.” Ling Xiao covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, holding in his laughter as he answered. He seemed to have also understood the meaning of the sound the creature had made. It was too funny.

“It actually dares to call me ‘dad’. This little sh*t, I will definitely kill it.” Ling Lan instantly exploded in anger. She wasn’t even married yet and did not have any children. Most importantly, she was a woman. A woman. Why not call her ‘mom’ instead of ‘dad’?

The creature referring to her as ‘dad’ touched Ling Lan’s reverse scale. She clenched her fists and pummeled the creature once again. However, the force behind her punches had decreased a lot. Although Ling Lan was angry, she did not let it get to her head. She knew that in this unknown planet, if the creature of this planet could provide them some information, then the road ahead would undoubtedly be much easier. Thus, Ling Lan decided to temporarily keep it alive until it wasn’t useful anymore, then kill it.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said with uncertainty, “It’s possible that during our conversation, it heard you called me dad. It probably thinks “dad’ is a respectful term to address a strong individual.”

Ling Lan thought about it and thought that seemed right. This creature had never seen humans before and would definitely not know the meaning behind the names they called each other. It only imitated the way she called Ling Xiao. It believed that ‘dad’ was a term for a strong individual because Ling Xiao was clearly stronger than her.

After understanding what it meant, Ling Lan stopped and let go of the beaten up body of the creature… She glanced at the creature, her face twitched a little. It seemed that she may have put too much force into her punches. The circular creature was lying lifelessly at the bottom of the trench with all of its tentacles sprawled on the side… Well, there were still two tentacles moving about, but these two were only unconsciously convulsing.

Ling Lan covered her face with her hands. “Wuwuwu…” Ever since her dad and her been together on this mission, her behavior was quite insane and barbaric. She didn’t have any bit of her usual calmness or strategic thinking. Could it be because she knew that she had someone to rely on, thus she wasn’t afraid of anything?

Ling Lan looked at Ling Xiao with frustration. Next time, she wouldn’t come out together with her father. Otherwise, she would get used to the habit of relying on her father. If that were to happen, she can kiss being independent in the future goodbye.

After making a decision, Ling Lan piloted her mecha and landed beside the circular creature. She kicked it, surprising the creature, causing all of its tentacles to move about. Then she coldly asked, “Are you willing to submit?”

“Rawr?”

“Submit?” What is that? The creature was confused. This was the first time he spoke with a human and could not understand what the word meant.

“There is actually a way to talk to that thing. That is to use your spiritual power to communicate with it. This creature’s spiritual power seems to be pretty high, it should be able to endure the high pressure spiritual communication method you normally use.”

This method that Ling Xiao had suggested wasn’t a friendly method with no risks. It was instead an extremely violent way of forcing what one wanted to express into the mindspace of another individual to make them understand.

Of course, this method had some risk for the individual taking the brunt of the force. These individuals would easily be injured from the immense spiritual power of the aggressor. If these individuals had weaker spiritual power, they might even instantly become mindless zombies.

Ling Lan heard Ling Xiao suggestion and felt that it was appropriate. Originally, this creature was her prey, so if she destroyed it, she wouldn’t regret it. Thus she forcefully sent over what she wanted to convey using her spiritual power, warning the creature to not go against her, otherwise she would instantly kill it.

The circular creature knew that its life was being held hostage by this scary and terrifying creature. Additionally, another even more terrifying creature was watching it from above. It wouldn’t dare to go against her.

Normally creatures with large bodies were all strong physical attackers with weak spiritual power. This huge circular monster however was an oddball. Aside from its terrifying physical attack power, its spiritual power was also very strong. It easily withstood Ling Lan’s spiritual pressure.

This way, the two of them could now easily communicate with each other.

“Yes dad, I choose to submit to you.” The circular creature still hadn’t realized the term it used to address Ling Lan with had some issues.

Ling Lan felt her fingers itch, but she endured it. She decided to let it go this time since it didn’t know any better. However, Ling Lan didn’t want to suddenly have a random otherworldly baby in her life. She also felt his circular creature was too ugly and did not meet the requirements of her need for pretty things. She coldly corrected it and said, “Don’t call me ‘dad’. Normally, servants who chose to submit all called me ‘master’.”

The circular creature immediately changed the term it addressed Ling Lan and shouted, “Master.”

“Are there any creatures stronger than you in these waters?” This was the first thing Ling Lan had to make sure. After all, this was going to become their 250 Mecha Clan’s base camp, so she needed to make sure it was safe.

“There aren’t any others. I am the strongest here. Master, I’m very scared.” Ling Lan didn’t know why, but she detected a hint of fawning and ass-kissing from the creature’s voice. Could it be an instinct of the creature to get it out of dire situations? So this creature that had never seen humans before, yet it knew how to behave itself?

“Was it your subordinate who attacked my subordinates on the shore?” Ling Lan asked. “How many more subordinates like that do you have? Can you control them?”

“They aren’t my subordinates. They’re my clones,” replied the creature proudly. “There are countless clones of myself in these waters. Of course I can control them.”

“Will they attack objects that move closer to them?” Ling Lan asked another question.

“Of course they won’t. Without my orders, these clones will only stay in the water and eat things. My main body is very large, requiring a lot of nutrients to sustain myself. Just relying on my main body, I would definitely starve to death. Thus, I made countless of clones to help me eat,” replied the circular creature earnestly.

Ever since the apocalypse, only this creature survived in these waters. It was because it had felt a terrifying danger approaching and sent countless clones to protect its main body. In the
