"Vice-Captain, the opponent's evasion speed is too high, and its movement trajectory is completely illogical."
The NPC in front of the fire control console was sweating profusely, and his voice trembled as he reported.
"Our fire control radar is simply unable to lock on effectively, and the secondary gun system can't keep up with its pace."
Upon seeing this, Qin Fengxue frowned.
She immediately issued new instructions.
"Cease secondary gun firing to conserve energy. Helmsman, turn the ship at full throttle immediately. Activate the main engines for reverse thrust and retreat at full speed to create distance and wait for the main guns to finish charging."
Qin Fengxue was well aware that if the warship were to be approached by such a small, fast, and high-level single-unit creature that could move freely in space, it would become a huge sitting duck.
The disadvantage of warships lies in their cumbersome nature.
Once the bone demon attaches itself to the warship's armor and begins to damage it, the defensive value of the deflector shield used to resist ranged attacks will drop rapidly.
Even more fatally, the warship's proud main guns had blind spots, making it impossible to bombard enemies on the surface of its own hull.
Therefore, maintaining distance is currently the only tactical option that warships can make.
Just as the massive warship began to slowly retreat, Xu Tian, who had been observing from the window, had a knowing look in his eyes.
Through that recent barrage of fire, Xu Tian had used the built-in combat analysis panel to roughly figure out the details of this bone demon.
"The speed is indeed very fast, and the reaction speed is top-notch, but..."
Xu Tian looked at the series of evaluation data on the panel and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Judging from its current physical strength and energy fluctuation values, that's about it. Among interstellar creatures, it's at most a tough and resilient elite monster, not some invincible god."
Xu Tian turned his head and spoke to Qin Fengxue, who was concentrating on giving instructions.
"Xiaoxue, that's about enough. I've figured out its tactics. I'll go out and meet it now. You continue to control the warship to retreat. Once the main gun is fully charged, don't worry about me. Just find an opportunity to aim and fire to test its defensive limits."
Qin Fengxue turned her head and glanced at him, looking at his dazzling interstellar divine armor, and nodded seriously.
"Okay, take care of yourself."
At this moment, in Xu Tian's live stream room, which had not been turned off, millions of viewers were already frantically flooding the chat with comments like snowflakes.
[Holy crap, holy crap, finally we're going out to fight! This is the first real interstellar native creature to appear in this game, right?]
[That skeleton looks terrifying; it can even dodge the laser net of a warship. Its maneuverability is simply outrageous.]
[I wonder just how strong these practice monsters from the starting village the developers have arranged are? Can Brother Tian even handle them?]
[To those who doubted Brother Tian earlier, do you think that set of Industry 3.0 warships and Magic Weapon 2.0 interstellar divine equipment is just for show? Brother Tian, go and teach them a lesson.]
[Yes, yes, let's show this alien country bumpkin what real oppression is!]
Seeing the enthusiastic barrage of comments, Xu Tian gripped the Star Slayer sword in his hand, which shimmered with four-colored light, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Tian activated the swordsman's advanced skill, the four-stage displacement.
With a crisp sound of space tearing, Xu Tian's figure blurred instantly in front of the warship's thick special glass, then turned into a spatial afterimage and disappeared into the cockpit.
When he reappeared, he had already passed directly through the warship's armor and shields and arrived in the vacuum of space.
The Nebula Shelter Suit bursts forth with brilliant light the moment it comes into contact with a vacuum, perfectly isolating all harmful radiation and pressure differences from the outside.
Xu Tian did not pause or hesitate at all.
The moment his figure appeared, he stomped down in mid-air, using his waist to generate power, and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash.
This seemingly simple sword strike contained the immense magical and martial power within Xu Tian's body, as well as the core energy of an interstellar weapon.
"boom!"
A terrifying, crescent-shaped, hundreds-of-meters-long, colorful sword aura instantly detached from the blade.
This sword energy carried terrifying power, completely ignoring the vacuum environment, and slashed down directly at the bone demon that was charging towards it.
The bone demon, which had only its eyes on the warship, clearly did not expect that a creature so small yet capable of unleashing such terrifying attacks would suddenly emerge from this massive iron lump.
Facing the destructive sword energy slashing towards them, the eerie green flames in the bone demon's eye sockets flickered violently.
Chapter 369 Where is your hometown?
It dared not be the slightest bit overconfident. Relying on its abnormal reflexes, at the critical moment, its body suddenly rolled to the side in a bizarre manner in the void.
The colorful sword energy grazed its ribs, then continued its momentum, directly striking a dense meteorite belt several kilometers behind it.
"Boom!"
A silent explosion unfolded in space.
The meteorite cluster that had been floating quietly crumbled instantly under the power of this sword energy. Countless huge rocks were neatly sliced in half and then blasted into dust by the violent energy.
The bone demon, who had just regained its footing, suddenly turned around and looked at the cluster of meteorites that had been blown apart behind it. Its hollow jaw opened slightly, as if it had gasped for breath.
Then, a mental energy fluctuation mixed with shock and doubt pierced through the vacuum and resounded in Xu Tian's mind and on the public broadcast.
"Who are you? How can such a tiny body contain such destructive power?"
The bone demon's unpleasant voice was filled with disbelief.
"That's impossible. All the bipedal creatures I've seen like you are just lowly food to be slaughtered. Why have I never seen an individual as powerful as you?"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Tian, who was suspended in the void, was suddenly startled.
Then, the corners of his mouth began to turn up uncontrollably, and the expression on his face instantly changed from the coldness of battle to the ecstatic joy of finding a treasure.
At this moment, the millions of viewers in the live stream, with their sharp minds, instantly understood the immense amount of information hidden in the Bone Demon's words, seeing Xu Tian's ambiguous smile.
The barrage of comments erupted like a volcanic eruption, completely enraged.
[Holy crap, wait a minute, am I hearing things? What did this skeleton just say?]
It said it had seen humans, and that the humans it had seen were all very weak, not as strong as Brother Tian.
[Case solved, brothers! This is what they call finding something you've been searching for everywhere without even looking for it!]
In other words, there are other human settlements in his home, meaning Brother Tian can find a large number of human NPCs again.
[This isn't a monster, it's clearly a money-giving angel from the system, delivering coordinates to us! Brother Tian, let's go, take it down, pry its mouth open!]
Seeing the excited comments in the live stream, Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, responding to the viewers in his mind.
"Brothers, you guys really understand me. I was just worried that there were too few humans in our territory, and no one was going to operate the mass-produced interstellar warships. I was also wondering where to find fellow humans in this vast universe. Isn't this a godsend?"
Xu Tian turned his head and looked at the bone demon that was still on guard.
At this moment, this hideous monster seemed even more adorable to him than the rarest world-class boss.
Xu Tian casually twirled his longsword and, in a provocative tone, transmitted his voice directly through his mental power.
"Hey, you pile of rotten skeletons over there, listen up! Tell me honestly, where have you seen my kind before? And which star system did you come from? If you tell me the truth, I might be in a good mood today and spare your body."
Upon hearing this condescending humiliation, the soul flames in the bone demon's eye sockets began to leap wildly, clearly enraged.
"You're courting death! You dare to spout nonsense about such paltry food."
The bone demon let out a roar.
"In my quest for a high-concentration energy source, I have traversed a hundred star systems along the northern star path. Today, I have finally managed to encounter your energy-filled iron ship. You lowly creatures, do you even deserve to know which star system I come from?"
The moment that furious roar was uttered, the entire live stream fell into a brief silence, followed by an even more frenzied barrage of mocking comments.
Xu Tian sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, then complained to the live stream audience.
"Brothers, I take back what I just said. This guy isn't a money-giving charm, he's a complete idiot, isn't he? Is this moron truly beyond redemption, or is he playing some kind of mind game with me, deliberately trying to fool me?"
"It just blurted out how it got here, how far it ran, and which direction it was heading?"
Despite his complaints, Xu Tian wasn't going to let this crucial information slip by.
He immediately opened the guild channel and shouted loudly to Qin Fengxue inside the warship.
"Xiaoxue, did you hear what that idiot said? Immediately pull up the interstellar map, take our current planet A-2-6 as the origin, and check what the location is exactly, tracing back along the direction it mentioned, a distance of one hundred star systems from us."
Qin Fengxue, who had been sitting in the vice-captain's seat observing the battle, naturally overheard this conversation.
Even her usually calm face couldn't help but show a hint of speechlessness.
But her movements were not slow at all; her fingers flew across the control panel.
The warship's massive main control computing center immediately began operating at full speed, starting to perform massive comparisons and calculations.
A few seconds later, a clear red dotted line appeared on the holographic screen, spanning countless stars and finally settling on a cluster of unfamiliar, dark red galaxies.
Qin Fengxue pointed to that coordinate, and her voice was clearly transmitted to Xu Tian's communication channel.
"Brother Tian, we've found it. Based on its path, there's only one place that matches the distance and orientation characteristics [A-132 Galaxy]."
"The A-132 galaxy? Very good."
Xu Tian obtained the exact coordinates, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
He stopped wasting words with that foolish bone demon.
"Since you're no longer of any use, then turn you into fertilizer."
Xu Tian roared, and his interstellar armor burst into light.
He locked onto the Bone Demon's aura and his figure flashed in the void.
He initiated the second phase of displacement.
This time, instead of using sword energy for long-distance attrition, he directly traversed a distance of several thousand meters, appearing as if by teleportation, less than ten meters directly in front of the bone demon.
Faced with Xu Tian's sudden onslaught, the Bone Demon, though lacking in intelligence, possessed an extremely strong fighting instinct.
It let out a screech, showing no sign of backing down, and raised its right hand, which resembled a sharp spear, carrying a powerful gust of wind that seemed to tear through space, and thrust it fiercely into Xu Tian's chest.
"Good timing."
Xu Tian neither dodged nor evaded, but gripped the [Star Slayer] tightly with both hands and fiercely slashed at the bone spike.
"clang!!!"
A resounding clang transformed into a visible energy shockwave in the silent vacuum, spreading wildly outwards.
