70: No longer hidden

The collision between Zhao Tieying and The Bone Monarch·Odun was like two stars colliding; each clash caused the entire Dragonfall Nest to tremble violently, with energy storms sweeping in all directions.

Even Gold-level peak Dragon Beasts could only steer clear of the core area, as the destructive aftershocks were enough to severely injure or even tear them apart.

On the scorched earth at the edge of Thousand Dragon Valley, after being swept by the shockwaves, the surviving students were like flickering candles in the wind.

Despair, like a cold viper, coiled around everyone's heart.

The army's indifference was like the sharpest blade, severing their last shred of illusion.

"By ourselves... we'll fight our way out!"

Lin Feng's cold voice, filled with a resolve that cut off all retreats, echoed in the blood-soaked, smoke-filled wind.

The voice wasn't loud, but it struck the soul of every survivor like a heavy hammer, momentarily pulling them out of the mire of despair.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the restless beast horde, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by an abyssal coldness and madness.

He no longer had any qualms!

"Queen, Rift, Abyssal Venom! Cover me!"

Lin Feng let out a low roar, his figure vanishing like a phantom. He didn't charge towards the beast horde, but rather used the Alien Queen's massive body and pervasive shadow energy as cover. At the same time, the core crystal within him operated at an unprecedented speed, and his mental power, like invisible tentacles, precisely captured the Gold-level energy fluctuations emanating from individuals within the beast horde... whether it was the roaring Thorny Land Dragons, the Shadow Flying Dragons circling at low altitude looking for opportunities, or the Beastmaster High Priests hidden behind the horde, commanding the Dragon Beasts!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Subtle and spine-chilling sounds were almost inaudible amidst the sky-shattering roars of beasts and explosions.

Facehuggers, each the size of a palm, spider-like in form, with segmented tails, appeared as if out of thin air, shooting forth from the spatial ripples around Lin Feng, cleverly concealed by the Alien Queen's shadow energy!

Their speed surpassed the limits of visual capture, like precisely guided miniature missiles, aiming directly for the heads of those Gold-level targets!

A Thorny Land Dragon, which had just raised its front claw, preparing to pounce on the student's defensive line, suddenly froze. A Facehugger clung tightly to its scaled face, and acidic mucus instantly corroded the scales, its caudal spine prick accurately piercing its central nervous system!

It shrieked in agony, its massive body beginning to twitch uncontrollably and roll, knocking down a group of lower-tier Dragon Beasts.

A Beastmaster High Priest, who was chanting, attempting to summon a powerful dragon soul, abruptly stopped. A Facehugger had, at some unknown moment, covered his entire face, and the war paint and skin sizzled under the strong acid.

He frantically clawed at it, but couldn't dislodge it in the slightest. His body convulsed violently, and he fell to the ground, his incantations devolving into incomprehensible gurgles.

A Shadow Flying Dragon, sweeping low, tried to tear apart the Alien Queen's shadow shield with its sharp claws, but in the instant of its dive, it was precisely struck on the lower jaw by a Facehugger that launched from a blind spot below!

It let out a mournful cry, its flight path instantly losing control, and it crashed into the beast horde like a kite with a broken string, causing widespread chaos.

Parasite!

Parasite!

Parasite!

Lin Feng's figure moved at high speed along the edge of the beast horde, each flicker accompanied by the precise deployment of several Facehuggers.

He no longer pursued the quantity of parasites, but rather the quality of the targets — Gold-level!

Prioritizing Dragon Beasts and Beastmasters with powerful destructive capabilities or command abilities!

The Alien Queen, Rift, and Abyssal Venom faithfully performed their duties as shield and blade. Violent shadow shockwaves, invisible blades that tore space, and highly corrosive poison mist barrages carved out a small, relatively safe area within the beast horde, providing valuable cover and breathing room for Lin Feng's parasitic actions.

"Over there! There are still survivors!"

Qin Yuyan endured her injuries, pointing towards a pile of rocks not far away, surrounded by Dragon Beasts, where the faint glow of an energy shield flickered.

"Wang Meng! Take a few who can still move, and charge with me!"

Lin Feng didn't hesitate, immediately changing direction.

The Alien Queen let out a shriek, and shadow energy surged forward like a tide, temporarily suppressing the Dragon Beasts in front.

Rift's wings vibrated at high frequency, and several invisible spatial blades precisely severed the Achilles tendons of two Silver-level Dragon Beasts blocking their path.

Abyssal Venom, meanwhile, spat out a dense, dark green poisonous mist, temporarily obscuring the vision of the Dragon Beasts on the side.

Lin Feng, Wang Meng, Nangong Jie, and several other students who could still fight, pierced into the chaotic area like a sharp dagger.

Lin Feng's tactics were extremely clear.

The Alien Queen and Abyssal Venom were responsible for creating chaos and suppression, Rift for assassinating key threats and cutting through spatial obstacles, and the students were responsible for quickly approaching the trapped individuals and bringing them out as fast as possible.

"Quick! Keep up!"

Lin Feng grabbed a female student with a leg injury and tossed her towards the temporary reception point behind him, managed by Qin Yuyan and Chen Xiaohu.

Wang Meng, meanwhile, brandished his battle-axe, roaring as he split open a Venomous Dragon Lizard attempting to pounce.

Each successful rescue brought back several scarred but re-energized students whose eyes were filled with renewed hope.

They were quickly brought into the defensive perimeter constructed by the Alien Queen and Abyssal Venom, where Qin Yuyan and others provided basic first aid and energy recovery.

More crucially, the Gold-level targets Lin Feng had parasitized, after a brief spasm and silence, began a terrifying transformation!

"Crack! Crack!"

Grating sounds of bones shattering and flesh tearing rang out one after another.

The parasitized Thorny Land Dragon's body swelled like a balloon, dark golden bone spikes pierced through its skin, its tail, now carrying acidic blood, became thicker and more deadly, its head became elongated and ferocious, and what it spat out was no longer a simple roar, but a breath attack imbued with corrosive energy!

A brand new Alien·Ground Dragon, with an aura reaching the Gold-level peak, was born!

It let out a fierce shriek, unhesitatingly turning and pouncing on its former kin, its claws and tail spikes instantly tearing apart two Silver-level Dragon Beasts!

The body of the parasitized Beastmaster High Priest burst open in a contortion. A relatively slender Alien·Priest, but with an abnormally large head covered in dark golden bone armor and radiating powerful mental fluctuations, burst forth from his body!

It didn't charge towards the beast horde but hovered in mid-air, its massive head turning towards the battlefield, and an invisible mental shockwave spread out like ripples!

Several Shadow Flying Dragons, preparing to pounce on the defensive perimeter, suddenly froze, as if plunged into confusion, and even began to attack each other!

The parasitized Shadow Flying Dragon's bones became even blacker, like flowing shadows, its body swelled, and the edges of its wings gleamed with the cold light of spatial cutting!

It silently merged into the shadows, appearing moments later on the back of a Lava Wyvern...
