Now that they both understand the current situation, this father and daughter couple began to fight for real in the depths of the trench.

Ling Lan put all her effort into fighting with Ling Xiao, a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. It was because Ling Lan knew that even if she tried her hardest, she would only be able to go a few rounds. If she still kept holding back, she was looking for beating.

It was just as Ling Lan had thought. Right as Ling Xiao retaliated, she was immediately under pressure the entire time and was getting pushed back from each attack. She could only block and not have any chance to counterattack.

“RAWR?” The creature that was silently watching the prey that had entered his domain, was now very confused. It didn't understand why these two creatures that came together began to fight each other. Was it because they weren't together?

It had a sudden realization and began to move about. The two creatures that came from above, one wasn't very dangerous, but the other one terrified it. It was also this fear that made it watch them from the sidelines. It was the reason why it chose to continue to hide silently and not attack recklessly.

This creature that was hiding in a corner was the ruler of these waters. No other creature dared to enter its domain. Everyone that had entered his domain had already been devoured by this creature. Originally, after these two entered its domain, it was preparing to gobble them up. However, when it was about to make a move, it felt a terrifying aura around the prey. This aura was very familiar. The high ruler of this planet also had this type of aura. This creature had once seen other creatures that were stronger than it be ruthlessly torn apart by this high ruler…

It believed in its instincts because from when it was born, it lived through many dangerous situations using its instincts and safely lived until now. This included the time when it revolted against the high ruler, but it sensed the feeling of death and decisively chose to submit. This also helped it live until now as well… Its other companions however did not believe in their instincts and were killed by the high ruler in the end.

The creature was originally planning to give up hunting them instantly had a change of heart because of Ling Lan and Ling Xiao's actions. It was because this creature had not eaten meat for a very long time. Ever since the apocalypse, the temperature of these waters kept getting higher and higher. The organisms in the lake started decreasing and in the end, only it was left… Even if it ate plants, it could still survive. However, eating meat once in a while was also good.

The creature felt the saliva dripping from his mouth. It looked towards its prey. One it didn't dare to attack. If the two of them were on the same side, then it would of course not be greedy. However, now it seemed one of the prey could be caught…

Moving away from the creature that was debating with itself in a dark corner, on the other side of the water, Ling Lan felt her entire body completely drained of energy after only blocking eight hits from Ling Xiao… However, Ling Xiao didn't hold back and followed up with another attack that was going straight for the helmet of the mecha.

Bang! The two large swords clashed forcefully once again. Ling Lan's mecha was pushed back. Normally, Ling Lan would immediately reposition the mecha, but because of how tired she was, she actually couldn't reposition it in time.

A chance! The creature hiding in the darkness saw this and became excited. It didn't even think for a second and four tentacles silently moved towards Ling Lan. This creature had a habit of ambus.h.i.+ng in this way. The tentacles silently yet swiftly rose up from the darkness, looking to capture Ling Lan's mecha.

“Shu, shu” The large sword Ling Xiao was using to attack Ling Lan suddenly slanted and moved a little bit. Two tentacles had been severed by Ling Xiao. At that moment, Ling Lan had already noticed the attack of the other two tentacles. She didn't choose to dodge and also didn't use her large sword to block. Instead, she let the tentacles wrap around her mecha.

In its blind spot, a powerful laser rifle slipped into the mecha's left hand.

The tentacles pulled Ling Lan rapidly down into the depth of the trench. Ling Lan's mecha was instantly dragged to a corner of the trench.

The creature that attacked Ling Lan wasn't stupid. It's tentacles had wrapped around the two arms of Ling Lan's mecha. After watching the two of them fight, it knew that these two organisms used their two arms to attack. As long as it controlled their arms, there wouldn't be any danger.

Of course, the creature wouldn't choose to attack Ling Xiao. It didn't want to die just yet. Just from watching the two of them fight, the creature knew that Ling Xiao was much stronger that it was… If it wasn't because of his hunger, it wouldn't jump into the fray and fight over the prey.

Of course, the reason why the creature dared to make a move was because in its mind, whoever acquired the prey would be able to eat it. No one would fight to the death for food.

The creature clearly thought Ling Lan and Ling Xiao had similar habits. This was also the reason it was doomed to be living a terrible life.

Ling Xiao's had a glint in his eyes as he saw that his daughter being pulled away by the tentacles. Although he knew of his daughter's plan, the creature was still taking away his daughter right under his nose… This was definitely something Ling Xiao couldn't endure.

His mecha then disappeared from its original position. In the next second, his mecha appeared at the end of the direction Ling Lan was being pulled towards. The outer sh.e.l.l of the mecha changed into a standard ace mecha in the blink of an eye.

The creature was still excited about catching its prey, it did not notice a mecha had appeared above its head. The barrel of a large beam gun was silently aimed at its head. If the creature harmed his daughter in any way, Ling Xiao would blow the creature into a million pieces in an instant.

The creature, that didn't have a sense of crisis, had its eyes fixed on the prey it had s.n.a.t.c.hed. It opened its drooling mouth and ruthlessly bit down on its prey…

On Ling Lan's side, she saw that the ground suddenly had a large crack appearing. The crack suddenly rose up as if it was a large mouth and bit on the right leg of her mecha.

Ling Lan activated her beam s.h.i.+eld in an instant!

“Crunch!” It bit down on the mecha's leg with a large force. If Ling Lan didn't use a high capacity beam s.h.i.+eld energy storage unit, the energy level of the beam s.h.i.+eld would probably have been broken through from this bite. Even so, Ling Lan's mecha's beam s.h.i.+eld energy levels dropped to nothing instantly. The entire mecha instantly became dark and would not be able to take on another bite like the last one.

“Ow, ow, ow!” The creature instantly spat out the leg of the mecha. It even saw that one of its teeth was spat out as well. It began to have tears form in its eyes from the pain and the thought of losing its tooth.

“Wah wah wah!” It was originally filled with hope that this prey would be full of delicious meat but all it got was a tough bone… Additionally, was it because it hadn't eaten meat for so long and only ate plants, causing his teeth to no longer be able to bite down on bone? “Wah wah wah, my little tooth!”

While the creature was still sad about his broken tooth, Ling Lan knew that she was in a dangerous situation. The laser rifle in her left hand suddenly shot out a slew of beams and hit the tentacles wrapped around her mecha's arms. The tentacles were instantly sliced apart by the beams.

The prey didn't taste any good and wanted to escape. This was definitely a provocation!

The creature became angry. Its tentacles were like trees after a first spring shower, violently rising up from the ground. It wanted to hold its prey in place then think about how to eat it.

Although its idea was perfect, Ling Lan didn't give it that chance. The laser rifle's consecutive attacks destroyed the tentacles one by one. It created an opening and Ling Lan moved her mecha out of the grasp of the tentacles. The large sword in her right hand instantly slashed towards the direction the tentacles had risen up from.

Right here!

If Ling Lan still didn't know the location of the main body after so long, the time she spent in the learning s.p.a.ce all these years would have been considered a waste of time. She would definitely be taken back into the learning s.p.a.ce by all the instructors and relearn everything.

The large sword ruthlessly hit the ground. A black ink-like liquid spewed out from the ground. A painful roar echoed and a shapeless spiritual attack flew towards Ling Lan.

Ling Lan activated the Heptas.h.i.+eld and countered the soundwave attack.

“RAWR?” This was the first time this creature's spiritual attack was countered. The tentacles that were about to attack Ling Lan suddenly froze and floated in the water.

Seeing this, Ling Lan moved her mecha and pulled on one of the tentacles. She saw half of the large circular body be pulled out of the mud at the bottom of the trench.

“Spiritual attack? Then I'll let you have a taste of what a real spiritual attack is like.” Ling Lan saw that the tentacle monster planning to attack again, thus she sent a spiritual charge straight towards the circular body.

As the creature roared once again, countless tentacles around the circular body began to tremble intensely. The tentacles that were closer to the main body began wrapping around it as though to protect itself from the next attack.

“You think you can block the attack if you do that?” Ling Lan snorted coldly. Her left hand pulled on the tentacle in her hand. The circular body instantly flew up from the bottom of the trench and towards Ling Lan.

Ling Lan decisively threw down the large sword. Her large clenched fist ruthlessly punched the circular main body.

“This is for making me look bad in front of my dad! And this, and this too!” Ling Lan didn't forget what it did to her and was full of resentment. Now that she saw the culprit, how could she hold in her anger?

Ling Lan, who had been the pillar holding together her group of friends, as luck would have it, showed her weak side to the person she wanted acknowledgment from the most. This made Ling Lan feel irritated. She actually wanted to use her actions to tell Ling Xiao that she was able to hold her own. Unfortunately, things didn't go the way she wanted. Her opening display was not very good, especially since she would rarely have a chance to go on a mission together with her dad.

Just like that, one punch, two punches, three punches… Each punch hit the flesh, pus.h.i.+ng away the tentacles, revealing the circular main body. Ling Lan didn't stop and was still punching. Her punches made the creature constantly roared in pain. Not long after, wounds started to open up on the circular body, black ink-like fluid flowed out from them. As Ling Lan's fists. .h.i.t it one after the other, more liquid slowly flowed from the main body.

Ling Xiao watched as the stubborn and unreasonable fists of Ling Lan continued pummeling the unknown creature. His face twitched a little bit. He decided to turn around and pretend he didn't see the gory scene. He definitely wouldn't admit that the violent mecha operator down there was his daughter…

It should be known that him and Lan Luofeng were warm and friendly people and were definitely not violent. Their daughter also inherited their virtues and was a kind and cute young lady… Thus, he was definitely hallucinating!
