Deep in the ocean, inside the command room of the Black Dragon Mountain Ship.
"Yang Zheng, I'm glad you reminded me. I protected some important systems in advance, otherwise I'm afraid the consequences would have been..."
Babata could not help patting its chest. "Still, even so, it'll take a few months to repair."
To this, Yang Zheng indicated that he could still accept it. After all, compared to the one or two years it took in the original work, a few months could already be considered quite good.
"The intelligent system is sorted out, we should tally our harvest!"
Yang Zheng looked at the three Flowing Silver Guards inside the command room. Earlier, when the command room door was opened, the clothes of these three guards had shattered, and now only a few tattered remnants hung on them.
Among the three Flowing Silver Guards, two were clearly male, while the other had a female appearance.
The primary material of these Flowing Silver Guards was flowing silver metal. Because of this special material, their bodies were like water, able to easily absorb impact force, making them extremely popular guard-type robots in the universe.
Although their lethality was not too strong, if anyone was entangled by them, even a Universe Level powerhouse would need to spend some time to break free.
"The energy of these three Flowing Silver Guards has been depleted. I wonder if my inventory of energy crystal blocks matches."
Babata detected. "I'll store these three Flowing Silver Guards away first, and fix them to see if they can be used again."
The next moment.
The three half-naked Flowing Silver Guards directly vanished on the spot.
On the other side, Yang Zheng also directly collected the rings, weapons, and other relics left behind by the dead officer, then rapidly walked back along the laser tunnel and left Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12.
"Holy crap, what on earth is that thing?"
In the murky sea water, Yang Zheng was charging upward when Babata's exclamatory voice suddenly came into his mind.
"Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng, head west quickly. I think I've found some incredible thing."
Babata urged him urgently. It had its own detection method, and its range was farther than Yang Zheng's spiritual force spread.
Ten miles away from Yang Zheng, a mysterious beast that was currently devouring a monster corpse paused, its head lifting slightly to look into the distance.
Its cold pupils flickered slightly with a trace of golden light, and the golden eyes seemed to see very, very far through the deep, pitch-black ocean floor.
"Good grief!!!"
Inside Yang Zheng's mind, Babata suddenly let out a sharp cry. "What the hell, this is a Golden Horned Beast! How could a Golden Horned Beast appear on this Earth?"
If it had not seen it with its own eyes, Babata simply would not have believed it. In its master's lifespan of over sixty million years, having roamed countless galaxies, it had only ever encountered three Starry Sky Behemoths.
Moreover, among those three Starry Sky Behemoths, not a single one possessed such a high bloodline.
Yet now, in this backwater corner of Earth, a Golden Horned Beast had actually popped up.
"What?"
Babata was shocked, and Yang Zheng was dumbfounded as well.
According to his original plan, he would come up here to retrieve the Black Dragon Mountain Ship, remind Babata in advance to preserve the auxiliary systems as much as possible, and then repair the ship to head out into the universe.
He would trick Babata into selling corpses, raise initial startup funds, and buy Universe Level slaves back, which could both prevent the Golden Horned Beast disaster and fend off the Nolan Mountain Family's explorer team.
Now look at this.
He didn't even need to trick it anymore.
"Yang Zheng, see if you can stall it. I'll immediately repair the Flowing Silver Guards. We must capture it."
Babata had gone crazy. "A 30-meter body size, at most Planetary Level Third Tier. Judging by its appearance, it should have been born just over a month ago. We should have a chance."
"You are truly insane!" Yang Zheng shook his head, and with a thought, a palm-sized blood-red fragment appeared before him.
Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment!
Even for a newly born Golden Horned Beast, even with a maximum of only Planetary Level Third Tier, the opponent's 10-times gene level and innate secret technique were nothing to scoff at.
"Awoo~~"
"Awoo~~"
Seeing a tiny creature even smaller than itself, the Golden Horned Beast seemed to cry out quite happily.
Swish!
This time, the Golden Horned Beast did not spread its wings, instead transforming into a straight line and rushing in front of Yang Zheng almost like teleportation.
"I'm dead! I'm dead!"
Yang Zheng's scalp instantly went numb. The pressure brought by the Golden Horned Beast was simply too immense; even though he dodged with all his might, the "wind" it scraped past felt as though it would tear apart the Black God Set.
"Awoo!"
The Golden Horned Beast seemed very excited. Its two forelimbs extended, and the five claws on each of its four limbs were like razor-sharp blades.
"Damn it!"
This Golden Horned Beast clearly wanted to play with him to death. Yang Zheng dodged desperately while controlling the Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment, which instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red flowing light that shot fiercely toward the Golden Horned Beast.
!Swish
This streak of blood-red flowing light was fast to the extreme, transforming into a bizarre arc that pierced through its head.
"Awoo~"
The Golden Horned Beast violently shuddered, its dark golden pupils containing a trace of pain and anger, and extraordinarily bright red fresh blood spilled from its head.
"Yowl!!!"
Suddenly, the Golden Horned Beast let out a sharp cry, then transformed into a blurry, slightly golden-tinged afterimage, directly vanishing from this patch of the sea.
"Did it... escape?"
Yang Zheng vigilantly scanned his surroundings. The Golden Horned Beast was probably frightened by the sharpness of the Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment. After all, facing a weapon that could easily pierce its defense, its internal origin core could be hit at any moment.
This place must not be lingered in.
Yang Zheng rapidly floated upward, only breathing a slight sigh of relief once he entered the Smart Fighter Jet hovering in the upper air.
Fighting the Golden Horned Beast, the Golden Horned Beast could afford to make many mistakes, but the moment he made a single mistake, he would completely lose his life there.
"Yang Zheng, this time I didn't think things through!"
Babata also calmed down, its tone carrying a hint of apology. It was just that a Golden Horned Beast was too hard to come by, and a newly born Planetary Level Third Tier Golden Horned Beast was all the more exceedingly rare.
It originally thought that Yang Zheng only needed to stall it for a minute or two; once it finished repairing the Flowing Silver Guards, it would use the flexible bodies of the Flowing Silver Guards to entangle the Golden Horned Beast and ultimately trap it inside the Yunmo Star Ship.
By relying on the sheer hardness of the Yunmo Star Ship's material, the Golden Horned Beast at this stage simply couldn't do anything to it, and by then it would be at Babata's mercy to handle however it liked.
Yet it didn't expect.
That Golden Horned Beast was actually so cowardly, retreating and leaving the battlefield swiftly after suffering a single strike from the Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment.
Furthermore, the C-level energy crystals used by the Flowing Silver Guards had long since been depleted, and hundreds of thousands of years of sitting idle meant they also required repairs, which would at least take around two days' time.
"No matter!"
Yang Zheng shook his head. "However, the Golden Horned Beast has already escaped. Wanting to catch it again won't be that simple. If our strength could be a bit stronger, perhaps we could catch it."
"Stronger strength?" Saying this seemed unintentional, but the listener took it to heart. Babata fell silent for a moment before saying in a firm tone.
"Yang Zheng, I'll repair the spaceship as soon as possible, and then head to the universe to purchase high-level slaves. This juvenile-stage Golden Horned Beast is very important; it's enough to change both of your futures."
The appearance of a juvenile-stage Golden Horned Beast caused Babata to alter its original plan.
If the new plan could succeed.
The revival of the Yunmo Star Lineage would be just around the corner, and in the future, it might even be possible to avenge its master.
