Chapter 248 Cracked Claw Beast

“From other directions, from other directions, the dark area is much larger than this one.” Ning Xuan frowned in thought.

She and Di Youlin had surveyed the general distribution of the forest area from high above. The area she chose had the smallest dark area, and they only needed to cross this small patch of dark forest to reach the forest without darkness.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. The black fault space is very stable and won’t disappear easily,” Yun Han said.

“Other areas may also pose other threats. You yourself said that this kind of thing shouldn’t be here. Maybe this thing is different from what you’ve seen before,” Ning Xuan said, unwilling to give up.

Di Youlin and Yun Han exchanged a glance. They did not object. After all, the forest was vast, and taking a detour would take a lot of time. Even if they went around to the back, there might be similar black fault spaces in the large dark areas.

“We’ll stay here for three days. If we still haven’t found a way to get deeper into the forest after three days, we’ll choose another route,” Ning Xuan decided.

Others had no objection.

Ning Xuan developed an antidote based on the properties and destructive power of the purplish-blue poisonous fog, aiming to relieve everyone of the fog's woes.

Di Youlin and the others took turns entering the Dark Forest to observe the changes in the Black Fault Space and search for its end.

Finally, at noon the next day, Di Youlin was the first to discover the anomaly. "Master, 30 minutes ago, the black fault space suddenly disappeared at this location. As you instructed, I immediately sent the probe robot there. You see, the probe robot has already gone in." Di Youlin excitedly showed Ning Xuan the screen connected to the robot.

"How long has the black fault space been gone?" Ning Xuan asked.

"It only took about two or three minutes. I originally wanted to go in directly, but remembering your instructions, I let the robot through first. After the robot passed through smoothly, the black fault space reappeared not long after," Di Youlin said.

Even if it's only two or three minutes, as long as you grasp this pattern,
They can then enter from this location.

After repeated verification, the pattern of this location was finally figured out. At the same time, the two probe robots sent over were violently destroyed. Judging from the images transmitted back, the robots were attacked by alien beasts.

In other words, beyond the black fault space, in the dark forest inside, there are highly aggressive alien beasts.

Ning Xuan and the others made ample preparations and timed their passage through the black fault space perfectly. Not long after they passed through the fault space, the night vision goggles on their helmets captured dark red spots of light flashing among the tree branches.

Yun Han suddenly spoke up: "Something's coming from the three o'clock direction."

As soon as the words were spoken, three dark figures tore through the thick fog. The beast at the front was over three meters long, covered in black scales resembling basalt, with sharp, cone-shaped bone spurs growing from its joints.

What's most terrifying are its forelimbs—the ends split into four independently movable, blade-like bone blades that vibrate at high frequencies when swung, producing ear-piercing sound waves. Ning Xuan was shaken by those sound waves and felt her vision go black and her head spin.

"It's a Cracked Claw Beast!" Lin Mo's voice trembled. This kind of beast has an extremely strong reproductive ability and is still present on various planets of the Federation. Lin Mo had dealt with this kind of beast when he went to the battlefield. This kind of beast has a very high defense, moves quickly, and is very difficult to deal with.

"Master, let me do it." Di Youlin said as he rushed forward.

While Lin Mo was still telling Ning Xuan how powerful these strange beasts were, Di Youlin slapped the three Cracked Claw Beasts to death one by one.

Lin Mo stared in astonishment as he watched Di Youlin swiftly deal with the strange beast.

The beast's blood splattered onto the moss on the ground, and many scarlet spots instantly appeared on the ground.

Seven more strange beasts leaped down from the branches, sending waves of sound through the air, their eyes gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light in the darkness. Without hesitation, Di Youlin spread his wings, lifted himself off the ground, and charged towards the beasts.

The others also encountered attacks from the Cracked Claw Beast. Apart from Yun Han, Lan Xin, Little Fox, Qing He, and Di Youlin, the combat power of the others was greatly reduced when they were attacked by the sonic waves. Ning Xuan was not injured under Lin Mo's protection, but Chen Nan, Zhang Nan, and the others were all injured to varying degrees when they fought the Cracked Claw Beast, caught off guard.

Fortunately, Yun Han and his companions were extremely powerful and quickly dealt with all the alien beasts.

The battle has ended, and the battlefield is being cleaned up.

"Master, the claws of the Cracked Claw Beast are extremely valuable. We've captured so many at once; we're rich now!" Lin Mo said happily, looking at the strange beasts scattered all over the ground.

Ning Xuan bandaged and treated the injured, while Yun Han silently put these exotic beasts into his bracelet space. These things could indeed be sold for some money.

After dealing with the monstrous beast lurking in the darkness and treating the wounded team members, they rested for about half an hour before continuing on their way.

They then suffered some sporadic attacks, which were quickly dealt with by the experts in the group. After about four hours, Ning Xuan and the others saw light ahead.

"Finally out!" Chen Nan happily ran forward.

Ning Xuan stretched out a vine and pulled him back. "Why did you run? You've been in the dark for so long. You need to adjust to the light slowly when you go out. Besides, we don't know what the environment is like outside, or if there's any danger. Don't you know your own strength?" Ning Xuan scolded him.

Chen Nan dared not refute and silently followed behind Ning Xuan.

Qinghe walked at the front. After trekking in the dark for a long time, he suddenly entered the bright light. His eyes were stung by the light and he could barely open them.

Of course, he quickly recovered.

After leaving the dark area, Ning Xuan and the others entered the normal area.

The soft, beautiful light shines on the lush green trees, creating a vibrant scene.

"This is small-leaf sandalwood, this is dragon blood tree, this is golden nanmu tree. These trees are growing so well, so thick and so big. I wonder how old they are," Lin Mo said with admiration.

“What’s so interesting about trees? If we like any, we’ll just cut them down,” Di Youlin said.

Zhang Nan and Lan Xin are working on perfecting the map.

"Rumble, boom, boom," the ground suddenly shook. Judging from the noise, a large creature was coming this way.

Ning Xuan suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't help but feel nervous. Qinghe and Di Youlin exchanged a glance and headed towards the direction from which the commotion came.

The little fox also grew into a giant one and rushed in that direction.

Yun Han stood in front of Ning Xuan, his expression equally solemn.

Seeing the experts in the team react in this way, the others became even more nervous.
