Chapter 171 Bait

The words Li Tianran was saying at this moment were not lies to embolden the Pioneers in the face of powerful enemies, preventing them from panicking.

In reality, Li Tianran had always suspected that the Siren wasn't truly dead, but trying to ascertain her status was incredibly difficult.

After the incident involving ten Mech Warriors venturing deep into the sea to behead her, Li Tianran knew that the animosity between him and the Siren had reached an irreconcilable point. As long as the Siren had even a sliver of a chance of survival, she would exhaust every possible means to create trouble for him and kill him!

And facing such an enemy, possibly lurking in the shadows, dedicating the rest of her life to killing him, even Li Tianran couldn't be completely vigilant at all times.

Imagine, during a hard-fought war against an enemy from the Fourth Cataclysmic Era, or after a bitter victory, the Siren suddenly jumping out from some dark corner, ambushing him with a surprise attack—what a devastating outcome that would be!

But wanting to ascertain the Siren's status by searching the sea was certainly unrealistic.

Because the sea was boundless, and Li Tianran didn't have that much time!

So, he came up with a plan.

To use himself as bait, to lure the Siren out!

Didn't the Siren hate Li Tianran and desperately want to kill him?

Fine, he would create that opportunity for her!

But if the Siren was still alive, how could Li Tianran make this "lure the snake from its hole" trap appear less like a trap?

After much deliberation, Li Tianran thought of using the statues as a factor.

The special nature of the statues could be felt by both sea beasts and human evolutionaries. Li Tianran's extreme interest in these special statues seemed very reasonable to outsiders, even if they didn't know the reasons behind the Fourth Cataclysmic Era.

So, after deciding on a method, Li Tianran began to frequently leave Kuangxi Island to study the unearthed statues around the world.

This in itself was a scheme.

He was intentionally showing the Siren his "weaknesses, flaws, hobbies," creating an angle for the Siren to exploit.

Otherwise, with the construction of Kuangxi Island being so busy, why would Li Tianran be running around the world for no good reason?

Of course, all of this was predicated on the assumption that "the Siren was still alive." If the Siren was truly dead, then everything Li Tianran was doing would just be tilting at windmills...

But now it seemed that everything Li Tianran had done was not in vain!

The current frenzied invasion by the sea beasts confirmed for Li Tianran that everything the sea beast horde had displayed in the past was a facade. It also confirmed that the Siren was still alive, and was in fact not far from this deserted island!

Because to the Siren, Li Tianran was the greatest enemy, a mortal enemy. When Li Tianran stepped into the trap she had set and was in a desperate situation, she, as the victor, would definitely come to witness it.

Not only for the explosively satisfying feeling of revenge, but also because she shared the same concerns as Li Tianran!

She also worried about not being able to kill Li Tianran in one go, or about the sea beasts being unable to confirm whether Li Tianran was truly dead, thus putting her in the same awkward situation as Li Tianran, constantly worrying about being attacked again in the future by the "Li Tianran whose life or death was unknown"!

The Siren already had an almost fanatical obsession and fear regarding the enemy that was Li Tianran.

Therefore, she had to personally watch Li Tianran die, all signs of life disappear, and then swallow his flesh and blood piece by piece, to be completely at ease!

...

"Aooo!"

The hideous sea beasts had completely landed on the deserted island. The enormous beast kings, with their eerie green eyes, stared intently at Li Tianran and the Pioneers on the beach.

At this moment, facing tens of thousands of sea beasts, with more constantly emerging from the distant sea, the less than fifty Pioneers appeared extremely vulnerable, as if the next impact would shatter them into pieces.

But no one panicked, not because the Pioneers knew that Li Tianran had backup or trump cards, but because, in the constant battles with the sea beasts, the Pioneers no longer feared these monsters that had once filled them with despair!

The sea beasts at the forefront attacked!

The Pioneers raised their blades and slashed!

Blood splattered!

On the beach lined with statues, both the Pioneers and the beast kings were suppressed. Each swing of the blade required more strength than before.

The Siren's intention was clear.

The Pioneers were few in number, and the beast kings were numerous!

Under the same statue suppression, even if they were exhausted, they could still tire the Pioneers to death!

In a clear area of the sea, there were no bustling sea beasts, like a pure land in the turbulent sea.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in this sea area.

A figure slowly emerged from beneath the surface of the sea.

Golden hair appeared on the surface of the sea, followed by a beautiful face filled with cold, cruel anger.

"This is the graveyard I have chosen for you. I will personally swallow every inch of your flesh, chew every piece of your bones, so that you have no chance of survival." The Siren stretched out her white, lotus root-like arms, pointed at the deserted island already covered by the beast tide in the distance, and shrieked maniacally:

"Die! Die! Li Tianran! Die!"

Looking at the deserted island covered by the tidal wave of sea beasts, an indescribable smile of pleasure appeared on the Siren's face. She began to move towards the deserted island. She could no longer restrain herself, wanting to devour Li Tianran's flesh and blood!

The deserted island, covered and submerged by the beast tide, now looked precarious.

The beast kings squeezed against each other, teeth and claws intertwined!

No powerful evolutionary could defeat the enemy and survive when the numerical difference was so great!

At this time, the Siren only had one thought in her mind, that Li Tianran should not be torn into too many pieces by the beast kings, making it impossible for her to distinguish which corpse was the one she was looking for…

But at this moment, she saw on that deserted island, in the gaps between the crowded bodies of countless sea beasts, there seemed to be a strange blue light flickering slightly.

She suddenly felt that this light looked a little familiar.

But before she could think, the blue light that came out of the gaps shone extremely brightly, directly passing through the overlapping bodies of the sea beasts, and shot out with dazzling brilliance, covering the entire deserted island!

Buzz!

The Siren only heard a sound similar to electromagnetism sweeping across the sky.

Then, she saw countless sea beasts turn to ashes under this blue light. An incomparably thick pillar of light swept across the sea. Those sea beasts that touched the pillar of light, whether beast kings or mutated beasts, had their limbs evaporated into gas in an instant!

The Siren was stunned.

In the gap where the sea beasts were wiped out, she saw a terrifying figure made of steel, holding a giant spear, and the blue electromagnetic cannon swept across the beast horde!

In an instant, the deepest fear in her heart was aroused!

At this moment, she seemed to feel her flesh and blood burning fiercely again, it was the fear and pain from the soul!

She was stunned for three seconds, then let out an extremely frightened and shrill howl, and turned to run!
