With timely support, Zuo Feng no longer delayed, riding his motorcycle away at top speed, as the night was blood-red and the wind howled.
Black and the seven companion beasts closely followed Zuo Feng's figure, gradually disappearing into the deep night, rushing towards the location of the Xenomorph.
More than an hour later, they reached the periphery of the Xenomorph's core activity zone. Zuo Feng stopped his motorcycle and cautiously looked around.
Information showed that although this small town had been swept and cleared, there were still a small number of wandering ordinary zombies, mostly low-level, posing little threat.
However, as he was about to fight the Xenomorph with full force, Zuo Feng dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Although there were two seven-striped big shots, no one knew what the companion beasts had said, whether these two big shots were here to help fight or just to make up the numbers.
“Sis Jingjing, Sis Yingying, hide yourselves later so they don't discover you,” Zuo Feng whispered.
The companion beasts of the Xenomorph all possess intelligence. Zuo Feng was worried that if the Xenomorph's companion beasts saw Sis Jingjing and Sis Yingying, they might directly flee, which would be troublesome.
If Sis Jingjing and Sis Yingying didn't help with the capture, Zuo Feng truly had no way to stop an Xenomorph and its companion beasts determined to escape.
Sis Jingjing and Sis Yingying nodded in response. When Zuo Feng looked back again, only two faint afterimages remained where the two companion beasts had been.
Seeing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but gasp.
As expected of seven-striped big shots, their speed was astonishing!
Fortunately, they were obedient, which saved Zuo Feng a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, if these two big shots caused trouble, he could only watch helplessly.
The Xenomorph they were dealing with this time was earth-attributed. Information showed that this Xenomorph possessed Earth Evasion, capable of instantly burrowing underground. Therefore, Zuo Feng had to restrict their range of movement, which required the assistance of Wood Jingjing and Wood Lingling's five Python Branch Giant Trees.
“Wood Jingjing, Wood Lingling, when the fight starts, quietly set up the Python Branch Giant Trees. Let their branches silently root underground, forming a encirclement, blocking the Xenomorph's escape routes and sealing off their possibility of escaping from the ground, ensuring they cannot use Earth Evasion to escape. If you still have the ability to seal off the sky, try to seal off the sky as well, leaving them nowhere to run.”
Wood Jingjing and Wood Lingling nodded in understanding, quietly hiding in the shadows. The fight hadn't started yet, so they weren't in a hurry to set up the Python Branch Giant Trees.
Zuo Feng twisted his neck, stretching his muscles, and said to Black, Hei Fanfan, and Hei Tantan:
“Black, Hei Fanfan, and Hei Tantan, we'll be responsible for the frontal assault and distracting them!”
As for Yuan Gungun, it had no mission for now.
Spatial Blade's damage was too high. Zuo Feng's plan was to capture the Xenomorph alive, not kill it. Yuan Gungun was naturally not suitable for this battle.
That Xenomorph was only an Xenomorph approaching three stripes, while Yuan Gungun had already evolved to three stripes. If it attacked, it would likely cripple or even directly kill the Xenomorph, which would be counterproductive.
Zuo Feng took a deep breath, and the cold air mixed with dust and the scent of decay filled his lungs, making him more focused.
He signaled Black, Hei Fanfan, and Hei Tantan to follow his footsteps closely, using the shadows of the broken walls and ruins to stealthily advance towards the center of the small town.
The ground beneath their feet was covered with a thick layer of ash and gravel, making a faint rustling sound when stepped on, which was exceptionally clear in the dead of night.
Zuo Feng took each step extremely lightly, his sharp gaze scanning every corner where danger might be hidden.
The moonlight was obscured by thick, blood-red clouds, allowing only a faint, pale glow to penetrate, barely outlining the distorted silhouette of the small town.
Collapsed houses resembled the carcasses of giant beasts, and hollow windows were like eye sockets staring into the abyss.
Occasionally, one or two meaningless zombie roars echoed in the empty streets, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
A viscous, unsettling stench permeated the air, as if the earth itself was restlessly stirring. This was the active area of the earth-attributed Xenomorph as recorded in the data.
Black followed Zuo Feng's footsteps closely, while Hei Fanfan and Hei Tantan lay on Zuo Feng's shoulders, their large eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Zuo Feng hid behind a half-collapsed low wall. Opposite him was a dilapidated building, which was the earth-attributed Xenomorph's activity area as recorded in the data.
Using the blood-red moonlight, Zuo Feng clearly saw the earth-attributed Xenomorph suspended on the half-collapsed rooftop. Its earthy yellow fur, earthy yellow eyes, four earthy yellow fangs, plus the two companion beasts perched on its shoulders—all these features perfectly matched the description in the data.
It was undoubtedly an earth-attributed Xenomorph. The third earthy yellow stripe on its forehead was about to fully form, signaling its impending evolution.
Target confirmed, Zuo Feng no longer hesitated and abruptly stepped out from behind the wall.
He stood still, his skin instantly taking on a cold metallic luster as Metallic Skin covered his entire body; immediately after, gnarled, tree-bark-like Withered Wood Armor covered it; outside the Withered Wood Armor, thin yet solid Black flames rose—Black Fire Membrane activated.
Around the flames, a transparent shield enveloped his body. Any attack that touched it would trigger a Black hole.
Finally, a Space Shield, as brilliant as a diamond, slowly appeared in his hand.
Five layers of defense enveloped Zuo Feng, wrapping him like a god of war standing in an invincible position.
This sudden energy fluctuation was like a giant stone thrown into still water.
The earth-attributed Xenomorph suspended on the dilapidated rooftop suddenly turned its head, its earthy yellow pupils instantly locking onto Zuo Feng by the low wall.
Usually, an Xenomorph would attack immediately upon discovering a human, but this time was different.
This Xenomorph only stared intently at Zuo Feng and did not immediately attack. This abnormal behavior was entirely due to the two miniature bear-like companion beasts on its shoulders.
Their eyes sparkled with curiosity and vigilance, their gaze fixed on Hei Fanfan and Hei Tantan on Zuo Feng's shoulders.
“Squeak, squeak—” They let out soft, baby-like squeaks, clearly communicating with Hei Fanfan and Hei Tantan.
Hei Fanfan and Hei Tantan also responded with squeaks.
Immediately, the squeaks of the four companion beasts were incessant, and Zuo Feng's eye twitched slightly.
Good heavens, he couldn't understand a single word. They were about to fight, yet the opening remarks were left to the companion beasts, and he couldn't even understand them.
The squeaking responses of the four companion beasts grew more urgent, their communication echoing in the dead of night like a string of disordered codes.
“Roar!”
At this moment, Black let out a low growl, a fierce glint appearing in its eyes.
Zuo Feng immediately sensed this was an attack warning—clearly, the companion beasts' communication was over, and the battle was about to begin!
Zuo Feng instantly tensed all his muscles, the Diamond Shield glowing brightly. Almost simultaneously, the Xenomorph moved!
It didn't roar, had no superfluous movements, and directly transformed into an earthy yellow stream of light, instantly landing!
This was the first time Zuo Feng had seen an Xenomorph touch the ground—the Xenomorph he possessed always floated in the air, never landing.
This abnormal behavior made Zuo Feng's heart tighten, and he immediately reacted: the Xenomorph was earth-attributed, perhaps touching the earth allowed it to draw power!
The Xenomorph's limbs deeply embedded into the ground, and an earthy yellow light spread from its feet throughout its body. The vertical mark on its forehead suddenly lit up.
A heavy, mountain-like sense of power surged forth, and the ground beneath Zuo Feng's feet instantly churned violently like boiling water!
The solid ground rapidly softened and collapsed, transforming into a giant quicksand vortex. A terrifying suction force violently pulled at Zuo Feng's legs.
“Here it comes!” Zuo Feng's alarm bells rang. Already prepared, he stomped his foot, an astonishing force erupting from his legs, pulling himself out of the quicksand trap, while simultaneously slamming the Space Shield in his hand downwards!
