What?
Before Lin Su could turn his head to look, he felt the transport aircraft he was riding vibrate violently. Clutching the handrail tightly to prevent falling out of the cabin, he suddenly looked out the window.
The sky, it darkened.
In an instant, the blue sky and white clouds outside the window disappeared, replaced by a giant hand as if cast from rock. As the colossal palm, nearly the size of the transport aircraft, reached viciously towards the plane, a suffocating sense of oppression surged into Lin Su’s heart.
It was as if doomsday had arrived.
A hazy white light emerged in a flash, forming a barrier between the transport aircraft and the overwhelming palm. It was a protective barrier woven nearby the aircraft, an automatic defense system of the plane. At the same time, the aircraft’s communication channel was opened, and a calm voice rang through the channel.
“Passengers, please be advised, the aircraft is under attack by an unidentified alien beast. Please remain calm, and any Beast Tamers of Master level or above on board, please contact the crew immediately. We need your assistance.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
Amidst the calm voice came the increasing turbulence of the aircraft and the faint cries of panic from passengers in other cabins.
Lin Su’s pupils constricted slightly as the protective barrier struggled to withstand the pressure from the terrifying hand, showing signs of imminent collapse. On its originally oval cocoon shape, quiet indentations from the fingers began to form.
He turned abruptly to look at Qin Nan sitting across from him.
“Nan?!”
Qin Nan had already stood up, unbuckling the seat belt that had fastened her.
Amidst the shaking transport aircraft, she stood as firm as if nailed to the ground.
“Six-Handed Rock Demon…” Qin Nan murmured a bit, a smile without warmth on her face, “Are they looking down on me too much?”
“Kid, I’m heading out. Stay put and don’t go anywhere,” she commanded.
With those words, Qin Nan strode down the aisle, her silhouette disappearing from sight.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Su turned his head back to the window.
Following the first rock hand, a second one emerged from nowhere and pressed hard against the protective film.
The already struggling protective shield now bore evident cracks that spread rapidly, and it wasn’t far from shattering completely.
Six-Handed Rock Demon…
The words Qin Nan had murmured before she left echoed in Lin Su’s mind.
Was this the species name of the alien beast?
Such a terrifying alien beast was never among the species Lin Su had learned about.
He instinctively switched on the communicator and scanned the giant palm that seemed to blot out the sky.

High Monarch Species…
Monarch Stage…
Lin Su’s heart trembled violently.
He had always thought that the one attacking Qin Nan was some Beast Tamer with a grudge against her.
Was it actually an attack from an alien beast?
The protective film outside the aircraft emitted a grinding screech before it ultimately collapsed under the unbearable burden.
Watching fragments slowly dissipating before his eyes, Lin Su’s pupils narrowed slightly.
With the barrier gone, the shadow-casting rock hand, for some reason, did not continue its descent but slowly retracted instead.
Lin Su finally saw the true form of the Six-Handed Rock Demon.
It was a giant sphere over twenty meters in diameter, the surface etched with rock patterns as if it was composed of converging stones, and in the sphere’s center lay a dark, profound vertical pupil that ruthlessly stared towards the aircraft.
Around the sphere, six enormous rock arms floated in mid-air without any apparent connection to the central body, each arm stretching over a hundred meters in length.
The moment he saw the spherical body of the Six-Handed Rock Demon, Lin Su’s face was etched with astonishment and disbelief.
Above the Six-Handed Rock Demon’s head stood five humans.
This was not an alien beast, it was a pet beast under contract with human Beast Tamers.
Otherwise, it would never allow humans to stand atop its head.
Why?
It was clearly under the restrictions of the Alien Beast Ban, so how could it form a contract with humans?
Could someone else possess the same ability as him?
Impossible!
A myriad of questions surfaced in Lin Su’s mind.
Outside.
Among the five humans standing on the body of the Six-Handed Rock Demon, the man in the shadows at the forefront slowly spoke, ripples emanating through the void, his voice thundering through every corner of the transport aircraft.
“Qin Nan, come out.”
“Surrender yourself willingly, or watch as the transport aircraft is destroyed.”
“Choose one.”
Indeed, their target was Nan.
Lin Su’s complexion turned slightly pale, the veins on his hand clutching the railing standing out.
Could Nan truly handle them?
Her Beast Taming Space was of the sixth tier, allowing her to contract with up to three pet beasts, and she had already contracted the Leading Stage Mushroom Baby.
Which meant that Nan’s pet beasts could be at most two Monarch Stage creatures.
And now, standing atop the Six-Handed Rock Demon, aside from its Beast Tamer, were four others; just any one of them unleashing another Monarch Stage alien beast would be enough to contend with Nan.
As Lin Su worried deeply, Qin Nan’s voice slowly traveled from outside the transport aircraft, “Is this all?”
