"Damn it! We have no choice; otherwise, everyone is doomed! Second gear!"

Seeing the devastating attack approaching in an instant, Su Mo's pupils shrank, and he roared instantly.

In an instant, the negative energy fragments within Su Mo lit up, and incredibly terrifying negative energy burst out of Su Mo's body, like a volcanic eruption.

The entire cockpit was instantly dyed blood red, and infinite negative energy poured into the body of the Mad Eye Rein Hound.

Infinite, dense blood marks appeared all over the Mad Eye Rein Hound.

Seeing this, Iress sighed.

"What a mess, but I like it, full power!"

The Creator·Devourer cursed with a distorted voice.

"Foolish! Disengage the Heros Device!"

In an instant, the Creator·Devourer shook like a heart.

Terrifying power instantly stained the entire pale Mad Eye Rein Hound, and countless black bubbles rolled on its mecha surface.

Then, countless distorted faces of the dead emerged, emitting piercing wails.

A terrifying, trembling power swept out.

The surrounding space was distorted to the extreme.

Su Mo took a deep breath and shouted with all his might.

"Mixed Barrier! Open!"

In an instant, the mixed barrier unfolded.

The dark red destructive attack arrived as expected, bombarding the mixed barrier, and light splashed everywhere.

The veins on Su Mo's forehead bulged, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

However, the entire mixed barrier began to distort to the extreme.

"No, it's too much!"

Seeing this, Iress thought to herself that it was not good!

*Crack!*

In an instant, the entire mixed barrier shattered.

At this time, Qian Chengxue, piloting the Future Envoy, rushed from behind the Mad Eye Rein Hound to the front of Su Mo.

Her eyes were very firm, and without any fear, she looked at the destructive beam in front of her and whispered.

"Energy Barrier, full power!"

The next second, the dark red beam bombarded the Future Envoy's energy shield.

*Boom!*

A huge explosion swept out.

"Chief Su Mo!"

"Boss!"

"Sister Xue!"

......

Everyone was completely frightened by this scene.

When the explosion ended, the Future Envoy's energy barrier had shattered, and the entire mecha was slightly charred, emitting wisps of smoke.

In comparison, the Mad Eye Rein Hound was not hit as badly.

However, Su Mo in the cockpit was scared half to death, and shouted with a hint of panic.

"Xue'er, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You withstood at least 80% of the attack power. The remaining attack just shattered the energy barrier and caused a little damage to the mecha."

Qian Chengxue quickly explained.

Hearing Qian Chengxue's words, Su Mo's heart, which had been clenched, suddenly relaxed.

Then, Su Mo forcibly suppressed the erupting negative energy and said to everyone.

"Quick! Everyone retreat, retreat to the mining star area."

"Understood."

Everyone responded.

......

More than an hour later, Su Mo and all the ships fled back to the mining star like stray dogs.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue piloted their mechas back to the Legendary Star Destroyer·Immortal Blade.

Not long after, Su Mo and the others returned to the central command room.

The expressions of Ti Luo and others in the command room were very low.

"What's wrong, everyone?"

Seeing the low morale of the crowd, Su Mo asked in as relaxed a tone as possible.

Ti Luo said in a deep voice: "Sorry! Master Su Mo, we have disappointed you. Due to our mistakes, we even made you risk your life to save us..."

"Stop, don't say that. We are companions, and mutual rescue is normal. Also, this is not your fault. I didn't expect the other party to be able to hit so far, and the attack was so precise."

Su Mo persuaded Ti Luo and the others.

"But...."

Ti Luo bit her lip lightly, wanting to say something more.

Su Mo directly interrupted Ti Luo's words and said firmly.

"There's no buts. Also, you inform everyone that we will rest here. While resting, everyone should try their best to think of ways to deal with that attack. We can't stay here indefinitely. The mission doesn't give us much time. We'll have a meeting later!"

"Understood!"

Ti Luo and the others responded.

.......

In the evening.

Luo Qi, An Yin, and other senior officers all came to the Immortal Blade's conference room after instructing their subordinates to rest.

Everyone took their seats.

Su Mo glanced at everyone. He saw that Luo Qi's eyes were still red, and his expression was completely without the arrogance he had before, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

At this time, Luo Qi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Mo.

"I'll say one thing first. If any of you want to apologize, or anything else, forget it. There's nothing to say about that. Everyone did a great job, but our enemies are stronger than we thought. Now, everyone should propose solutions as much as possible."

After listening to Su Mo's words, a complex look appeared on Luo Qi's face.

An Yin said at this time.

"I think in this situation, it is not advisable to be too aggressive. We don't understand what the enemy is. Our top priority now should be to find a way to scout, and only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."

"Unrealistic, there are too many enemy troops, it is almost impossible to conduct in-depth reconnaissance, and the Sleepwalkers are also good at counter-reconnaissance."

Luo Qi shook his head.

Su Mo silently communicated with the Creator·Devourer.

"If you help me apply stealth, can we sneak in and scout?"

"If it's just those miscellaneous fish, I can tell you there's no problem. But don't you think it's strange? That attack can lock onto the Immortal Blade so accurately from such a long distance and launch an attack! Its locking range is terrifyingly far, and its accuracy is unbelievably high! There may be some special ability. If our stealth is detected, you will really be in danger."

The Creator·Devourer was also a little unsure, after all, the unknown is the scariest thing.

Hearing this, Su Mo also had a headache and didn't know what to do.

For a time, the conference room fell silent again.

Time passed little by little.

A full half hour passed, and no one had come up with a solution.

"Forget it, the meeting will end here. It's not necessarily possible to come up with a solution by thinking hard. Everyone should go back and rest for a while, get some rest and talk about it tomorrow. This battle can't be ended in a short time, so haste makes waste."

Su Mo was really helpless.

"Yes!"

Luo Qi and the others responded.

"Dismissed!"

......

At night, Su Mo walked back and forth in the Immortal Blade ship with his hands behind his back, thinking about a solution.

His head hurt from thinking, and he couldn't help but discuss it with the Creator·Devourer.

"These Sleepwalkers are too difficult to deal with."

"If they weren't difficult to deal with, they wouldn't be able to jump around in front of that woman Icaroya for so long. And your place is just the flank battlefield. The main battlefield is the main event. The situation over there is probably even more pessimistic than yours."

The Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"That's true."

Su Mo sighed and replied.

Just then, Su Mo unknowingly came to Hangar 7.
