337: Chapter 331

The ear-piercing howl stirred up ripples visible to the naked eye within the metal corridor, spreading outwards in layer upon layer towards the distance.

Song Yang's expression changed instantly.

He couldn't drag this out any longer.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he no longer held back any strength.

"Die!"

The blood vine that had originally only been wrapped around the Wolf Demon seemed, at this moment, to be injected with violent vitality.

The dark red on their surface became increasingly deep, even faintly revealing a sinister purple-black.

Barbs frantically popped out from the surface of the vines, digging deep into the Wolf Demon's flesh.

The barbs tore through skin and flesh, greedily draining the energy within its body.

The Wolf Demon, with its neck constricted, made strange "ho ho" sounds; its golden pupils began to dilate rapidly due to the loss of energy, and their luster dimmed accordingly.

Its massive body struggled violently.

However, the robots' artillery fire did not cease.

The strangulation by the blood vine also became increasingly lethal.

The scales of victory seemed to have completely tipped in Song Yang's favor.

In just a few more seconds, this Cosmic Level Wolf Demon would be strangled to death and drained dry.

But just at this moment.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Three distinct, thunderous sounds came from different directions at almost the same time.

The wall of the corridor on the left side of the intersection was smashed open by a brutish force, and a Bear Demon, covered in long brownish-black fur and a size larger than the Wolf Demon, charged out.

The ceiling of the right corridor was sliced open by two peerlessly sharp blade lights, creating a huge "X" shaped gap.

A dark green figure descended from the sky; it had the upper body of a mantis, with two bone blades several meters long flashing with a chilling, eerie light, while its lower body consisted of countless wriggling tentacles.

Following closely behind was a Zerg warrior, relatively smaller in size but with an even colder aura.

One Demon Clan member.

Two Zerg members.

Three more Cosmic Level Experts!

They all bore varying degrees of wounds, clearly having fought their way here, and upon hearing the Wolf Demon's call for help, they had rushed over at the fastest possible speed.

Song Yang's heart sank abruptly.

Dealing with just one was already enough for him to rack his brains.

Now, four had come at once.

Almost at the same time those three figures appeared, Song Yang made the most decisive choice.

Run!

His thoughts raced, and the blood vine wrapped around the Wolf Demon suddenly loosened.

The dying Wolf Demon finally got a chance to breathe, gasping for air, but immediately after, those blood vines, like maggots attached to bones, wrapped around it again, though the force was much weaker, no longer aiming to strangle but simply to delay and entangle.

Having done all this, Song Yang did not hesitate in the slightest.

He turned around and bolted down the corridor he had come from.

He pushed his speed to the limit, his figure leaving an Afterimage in the corridor.

"Roar!"

Seeing the Wolf Demon's miserable state, the Bear Demon let out a deafening roar, its massive body charging recklessly, crushing straight towards the robot phalanx that was besieging them.

The mantis Zerg flashed, its two bone blades turning into two bolts of green lightning, precisely slashing at the blood vine wrapped around the Wolf Demon.

"Swish! Swish!"

The tough blood vine snapped in response.

The rescued Wolf Demon collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, the wound on its shoulder blasted open by an energy beam still emitting black smoke, its aura extremely withered.

It panted heavily, its golden pupils filled with the terror of surviving a disaster and boundless resentment.

"That human, kill him!"

The Wolf Demon struggled to stand up and roared.

"Wait."

The mantis Zerg suddenly spoke.

"The situation is not right."

"These robots, they are not attacking that human."

As soon as these words were spoken, the movements of the Bear Demon and the Wolf Demon stalled.

Only then did they notice this overlooked detail.

Why?

This human was clearly, like them, an outside intruder.

Why did these guards only attack them but let that human pass?

An absurd yet only possible conclusion surfaced in the minds of the four Cosmic Level Experts.

That human possessed the authority to control these robots!

Or rather, he had something on him that made these robots identify him as an "allied force"!

They had already personally experienced the danger level of these ruins.

If they could obtain the method to control these machines, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways in these ruins?

"Chase!"

The Wolf Demon was the first to react; it forcibly suppressed its injuries, powered up its four limbs, turned into a golden streak of lightning, and chased after Song Yang's scent.

On that human, there was a massive secret!

"Can't let him run!"

The Bear Demon also gave up clashing head-on with the robots, its massive body turning and charging into the corridor Song Yang had left through with uncharacteristic agility.

The mantis Zerg and the spider Zerg exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation.

For a moment, only over a hundred robots remained at the intersection, the targets having disappeared outside their attack range in a short time.

"Hum—"

They reorganized their ranks and continued the pursuit.

And on the other side.

Song Yang was sprinting rapidly through the corridor.

He could clearly feel that the four powerful, suffocating auras behind him were all chasing in his direction without the slightest hesitation.

Their speed was too fast.

Cosmic Level Experts, even within these restricted ruins, had speeds far beyond what Song Yang could compare to at his current stage.

The distance was being closed bit by bit.

Five thousand meters.

Three thousand meters.

Fortunately, Song Yang could feel that familiar aura approaching rapidly not far ahead.

It's here!

Just at the moment he was about to be caught up, the corridor in front of Song Yang suddenly opened up, and a wider circular hall appeared before his eyes.

And at this very moment, a snow-white figure leaped down from a damaged pipe above the hall, landing precisely in front of Song Yang.

At this moment, the Star Beast lacked its usual laziness and liveliness, its whole body radiating a stern fighting spirit.

Under its feet lay a pile of robot wreckage still sparking with electricity, their sturdy alloy shells torn to pieces, clearly having gone through a not-so-easy battle.

"Roar!"

The Star Beast let out a low roar towards behind Song Yang, full of warning.

"Well done!"

Song Yang laughed out loud, pushed off the ground, and leaped onto the Star Beast's broad back.

"Let's go!"

Almost at the same time Song Yang landed steadily, the four pursuing figures also charged out of the corridor.

When they saw the scene before them, whether it was the furious Bear Demon, the resentful Wolf Demon, or the calm Zerg, their movements all froze in unison.

This human was the master of this Star Beast!

Controlling robots?

Compared to enslaving a Star Beast, what was that worth!

If they could catch this human and force out the method to control the Star Beast, or take this Star Beast for themselves...

Then their gains in these ruins would be unimaginably huge!

In the future, they might even be able to gain supreme status within their own clans by relying on this Star Beast!
