Chapter 336 Poisonous Abyss Beasts and Alien Species

Ning Xuan once again entered the poisonous miasma-contaminated area, bringing with her elite troops whom she had trained. This time, after Ning Xuan extracted the poison sacs from the poisonous beasts she had killed, the corpses were dissected and broken down into useful materials by Liu Linfeng and the others as their spoils of war.

The black ironwood that Ning Xuan had previously used as an energy amplifier mostly possessed some of the characteristics of lightning-struck wood. When Lin Ye was with her, she didn't take away the wood, nor did she remind Lin Ye of its value. Of course, this was mainly because, in Lin Ye's view, these contaminated black ironwood were originally worthless.

However, in Ning Xuan's eyes, these were all good things. So, as soon as Ning Xuan returned to this area, she ordered Liu Linfeng to lead people to cut down and take away all the black iron trees that had been struck by lightning.

These are all her spoils of war.

Ning Xuan showed no restraint in front of her direct subordinates, unleashing her full strength. With her subordinates working in perfect harmony with her, their efficiency was even higher than before. However, when only the last quarter of the poisonous miasma-contaminated area remained, the number of Poisonous Abyss Beasts appeared very densely, making the previously rampaging tactical formation somewhat difficult.

Although Ning Xuan's lightning energy could accurately hit and kill the Poison Abyss Beasts every time, when there were too many, some would always slip through the net. Although her warriors were equipped with powerful weapons, they could not kill all the Poison Abyss Beasts in one blow. Under these circumstances, the Poison Abyss Beasts, facing a life-threatening situation, began to spew poisonous mist again. In an instant, the poisonous mist spread, and the poisonous miasma that was about to be cleared away spread outwards again.

This is precisely the tricky part of this mission: the poisonous miasma was created by the Poisonous Abyss Beasts, and a large number of these beasts were not eliminated but merely suppressed outside the range of the sonic weapon's interference. Meanwhile, the deterrent power of the sonic jammer was gradually decreasing.

If Ning Xuan wants to complete this task, she actually has to eliminate all the Poisonous Abyss Beasts.

Seeing her warriors surrounded by poisonous miasma and poisonous beasts, Ning Xuan suddenly opened her arms, and a thunderous vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters erupted from her center.

The dazzling white lightning, like streaks of silver snakes, snaked and spread out, causing the Poisonous Abyss Beasts to convulse and collapse wherever it passed, their carapaces charred and bursting. Even the poisonous miasma in the air was broken down and cleared away.

"Thunderstorm Domain? General, this must be a domain, right? We were all inside your domain and we weren't harmed at all. That's amazing. When did you master it?" Liu Linfeng looked at this scene in shock.

"I just got the hang of it. This is the first time I've used it. Check your comrades around you to see if anyone has been accidentally injured?" Ning Xuan asked, slightly out of breath and with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Those who weren't accidentally struck by lightning, but one-third of the soldiers' protective gear has been damaged and corroded by the toxic fog. The size of the contact area with the toxic fog varies, as does the severity of the damage. There are more than a dozen people with serious conditions." Liu Linfeng quickly compiled the data.

"In that case, prepare to break out!"

The team members quickly regrouped, shielding the wounded in the center. Ning Xuan walked at the very front, continuously releasing fine electrical currents from her hands to clear a path ahead.

However, the number of Poisonous Abyss Beasts was simply too great; as soon as one batch died, a new one would immediately take its place. What was even more worrying was that Ning Xuan could feel her energy being rapidly depleted.

Just then, a chilling hiss echoed from within the poisonous fog, and dozens of eerie green eyes flickered within. Suddenly, a gigantic Poisonous Abyss Beast, the size of a truck, burst through the fog, its carapace-like skin covered in corrosive slime, and its compound eyes gleaming with a scarlet light.

"General, look, that Poisonous Abyss Beast in front is huge!" a mid-level general, Chen Rui, exclaimed in alarm.

Ning Xuan turned her head and saw the giant Poison Abyss Beast, which was five times the size of an ordinary Poison Abyss Beast. This should be a variant of the Poison Abyss Beast.

This variant isn't just one; at a rough estimate, there are at least five. They are enormous, with antenna-like organs on their backs that constantly emit high-frequency sound waves. As these sound waves spread, the surrounding Poison Abyss Beasts move with greater coordination; clearly, these three variants can command the actions of the ordinary Poison Abyss Beasts.

They no longer attacked haphazardly as before, but instead displayed a certain tactical coordination—small Poison Abyss Beasts crawled quickly from the ground to approach, medium-sized individuals flanked from both sides, while the giant Poison Abyss Beast charged the defensive line head-on.

To defeat the Poison Abyss Beast's attack, she had to eliminate the mutant first. However, when she precisely struck the mutant's head with lightning, it was not destroyed but instead enraged.

"Everyone, retreat into formation! Defense team, advance!" Ning Xuan's voice came through the communicator, accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning that cleaved through the thick poisonous fog.

The defense team instantly changed formation, and sixteen warriors wielding specially made alloy shields quickly formed a hexagonal defensive circle on the outer perimeter. Blue lightning crackled across the surface of their shields, creating a semi-transparent lightning net wall. Ning Xuan stood in the center of the formation, her hands clenched into fists, two dazzling balls of lightning spinning in her palms.

“Fire!”

At Ning Xuan's command, six laser guns shot out from the rear of the formation, accurately hitting the mutated Poison Abyss Beast.

The monster let out a shrill howl, and at the same time, red flames burst forth from its body.

The black poisonous mist that was about to gush out was instantly burned into wisps of white smoke by the red flames.

"That mutant creature actually spontaneously combusted!" Liu Linfeng exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Xuan imbued the laser gun with the Vermilion Bird Flame and successfully killed an alien species. With this successful attempt, the rest became much easier.

Ning Xuan quickly wiped out the alien species, then led her subordinates to clean up the remaining mess. When the forestry department sent people to investigate the progress, they discovered that not only had the poisonous miasma-contaminated area been cleaned up, but even those troublesome poisonous abyss beasts had been eliminated.

Ning Xuan was quite exhausted from this mission. After returning to the temporary safe base, she went to the rest area assigned to her in the quarantine zone and slept for a day and a night.

When Ning Xuan woke up, she found the atmosphere at the base to be even more tense.

"Master, Commander Ying and Chief Executive Yu request to speak with you." Yun Han knelt before Ning Xuan and handed her something resembling a personal terminal.

To conceal her identity, Ning Xuan discarded the original quantum computer she was bound to, leaving it with her puppet avatar. The information on the quantum computer she was currently carrying had all been altered by herself.

Therefore, Ying Yaoshi and Yu Mingche had no way to contact her directly.

However, Yun Han brought his own personal computer with him.

"Did they contact you, or did you contact them?" Ning Xuan asked Yun Han with some curiosity.
