Chapter 568: The Intent of the Cosmic Behemoth
Crack!
The ground suddenly split open, so fast that even five ninth-order Ghost Clan mbers couldn't react in ti. They only felt a sudden darkness before losing consciousness.
But in the eyes of those Soldiers, they saw a colossal tongue reaching out from beneath the ground, stretching to a height of a hundred ters in a matter of seconds. If not for the massive crack left on the ground, they might have thought they were seeing things.
This trendous commotion imdiately roused Marshal Marshal from his slumber. He appeared at the crack almost in the blink of an eye.
"What happened here?" Marshal asked with a deep voice.
"Marshal, we saw a gigantic tongue erge from here and then vanish. We didn't find anything else," one of the soldiers reported.
Given their strength, discovering ninth-order Ghost Clan mbers was an impossible feat in this lifeti. All they saw was the enormous tongue.
The most surprised person wasn't Marshal Marshal but Su Chen.
He had been closely monitoring the situation here, and he had thought that the five ninth-order Ghost Clan mbers, with the power of the Spectral Moth, might have been able to kill Marshal instantly. But unexpectedly, they hadn't succeeded; instead, they were devoured by a colossal tongue.
He had long suspected that the gigantic tongue belonged to the Cosmic Behemoth known as the Great White Rabbit, and it had just appeared.
"This is a golden opportunity. Imdiately send the Chronolegionair Troops to investigate," Su Chen commanded.
Discovering the presence of the Great White Rabbit was a rare opportunity, and Su Chen wasn't going to let it slip by. He promptly dispatched his Chronolegionair Troops, the only ones capable of keeping up with the Great White Rabbit's speed due to their teleportation abilities.
Upon receiving the order, dozens of Chronolegionair Troops instantly departed from the base, appearing in an underground tunnel. Not far from them, a colossal shadow was burrowing through the earth.
Through the eyes of the Chronolegionair Troops, Su Chen was the first to see the Great White Rabbit's appearance. It was different from what he had imagined; its size seed sowhat smaller.
"An 8th Order Mutant Beast can change its own size, so this Small Galaxy ninth-order Cosmic Behemoth should be capable of the sa," Su Chen thought, dismissing any concerns about the creature's size.
Now that he had found the Great White Rabbit, the first probe could begin.
The primary attacker was still the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier, who aid his weapon directly at the Great White Rabbit and fired a beam of light. The beam hit the creature's body as expected, causing it to freeze in place.
The Weapons were effective!
This surprised Su Chen because the effectiveness of the beam was directly related to the strength of the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier. With his peak eighth-order strength, he should have, at most, been able to affect creatures of the first or second order within Small Galaxy. Yet, the Great White Rabbit, which was at least a ninth-order Small Galaxy creature, was affected by the Weapons.
The next mont, the Space-Ti Assault Team appeared by the Great White Rabbit's side, placing pre-prepared fake C4 explosives and then returning to their original positions.
The Hyperspace Sniper didn't waste any ti either; they aid their rifle at the Great White Rabbit's head and fired.
The Psychic Commando attempted to use psychic control, trying to see if they could directly manipulate this Cosmic Behemoth. All Chronolegionair Troops exerted their full strength.
Clang!
The sniper bullet struck the Great White Rabbit's head with a light sound, leaving no visible injury. Su Chen had expected this outco all along.
After all, the Great White Rabbit had the ability to directly penetrate a planet's core with its body, and a single bullet was unlikely to break through its defenses.
Boom!
In the next mont, the fake C4 explosive detonated with a trendous blast, sending the ground flying. Fortunately, this was a wilderness area; otherwise, such a massive explosion would have undoubtedly caused casualties.
"It's unhard," furrowed brows on the face of the Space-Ti Assault Team leader. His fake C4 explosives had failed to make an impact. It wasn't entirely useless, but compared to the colossal Rabbit, a human-sized wound was almost insignificant.
Next, the Psychic Commando chid in, "Psychic control is ineffective."
He discovered that the gigantic Rabbit had a Psychic defense that thwarted his attempts at control, unless his power surpassed that of the Great White Rabbit.
Finally, only the Chronolegionair Legion Soldier remained. At first, he believed his Weapons were effective, but gradually, he noticed sothing amiss and released his Weapons.
He found that the Great White Rabbit was actually absorbing the energy from his Weapons!
This was a unique power that could erase the existence of an object, yet this Rabbit could absorb it. What kind of entity was it?
All probing attacks had failed.
At this point, the Great White Rabbit turned its body, just as depicted in the initial image. Most of its body was white, with so black patterns, giving it a peculiar appearance.
"Commander, we must capture it. The patterns on its body are more advanced than Ghost Patterns. If we could understand these patterns, I'm sure I could develop patterns even more powerful than Ghost Patterns!" Taru, who appeared out of nowhere, was nearly frantic when he saw the patterns on the Great White Rabbit.
Su Chen didn't doubt Taru's words; after all, Taru was the ancestor of the Ghost Clan and was very knowledgeable about Ghost Patterns. His words held authority.
"As you can see, the Great White Rabbit is formidable. Conventional thods won't work against it," Su Chen pointed to the screen. Just as the Great White Rabbit was about to make a move, four Chronolegionair Troops imdiately vanished. Faced with an invincible foe, they had no choice but to retreat.
In Commander's words, it was a strategic withdrawal.
Without the eyes of the Chronolegionair Troops, Su Chen couldn't observe the situation on that side. There were no spots of light from the Great White Rabbit on the spy satellite, indicating that the Rabbit possessed a way to sever surveillance.
"Commander, recently, the Chief and I have been studying information related to Cosmic Behemoths. Fortunately, in the data left behind by the Qiluo Civilization, there was a small amount of information. We discovered sothing: every Cosmic Behemoth has a characteristic. They generally don't stay on a planet for too long unless there's sothing on that planet that attracts them."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, "Are you suggesting that sothing on Yan Yun Star is attracting two Cosmic Behemoths?"
"No, to be precise, it's only attracting the Cosmic Behemoth, the Great White Rabbit. The appearance of the Spectral Moth is most likely an accident. It only ca here because there was food."
Su Chen thought of the Great White Rabbit's repeated burrowing into the planet's core. If what Taru guessed was correct...
"How long do most Cosmic Behemoths stay on a planet?"
"Most of them stay for less than a thousand years, only a very small number stay longer."
Su Chen thought for a mont. If he rembered correctly, the Second Spy had once told him that the ti of the appearance of the Ghost Clan deities was approaching, and it was almost reaching a thousand years!
Was the ti for the Spectral Moth to depart approaching?
As for the Great White Rabbit, its existence spanned longer than the Ghost Clan's ergence by tens of thousands of years. In such a long ti, what was the Great White Rabbit doing? (To be continued...)
