With only one eye left, the monster went completely crazy. It punched Gu Ding fiercely with both fists, one after the other. The bombardment was like a storm, causing Gu Ding to flee in panic.
Even with Ultimate Arts Level 3 activated, Silent Step could barely keep up with the giant beast's attack speed. At other times, he could only use Steel Fist to neutralize the force and Righteous Body to resist.
However, in less than two minutes, Gu Ding could clearly feel that his arms were numb. Several of his ribs were broken, and there was a burst of pain in his chest. It was obvious that his internal organs had suffered some degree of concussion damage.
"I can't go on like this. I'll definitely be killed." Gu Ding had an idea and was ready to activate Ultimate Arts Level 4.
"If you don't activate Level 4, you'll still have a chance to live.
Activate Level 4, and you'll definitely die! "
Neptune's tone sounded very serious. "You're currently only a Rank 1 Gene Body. Activating Ultimate Arts Level 4 will only double your combat effectiveness. You still won't be able to break through its defense.
Once you activate Ultimate Arts Level 4, all the cells in your body will quickly age and die when the force passes.
Unless a deity descends, no one can save you. "
"Once I fall, it'll definitely rush toward Liliath."
It was the first time Gu Ding had encountered such a tricky situation. As Neptune said, he had no chance of winning.
However, all he could do now was to fight it head-on.
"You'll only fall faster if you activate the fourth layer." The Sea Emperor gave a more convincing persuasion. "Let her escape now."
"Lili, leave quickly. I can't hold on for long.
Run as far as you can! "Gu Ding shouted.
Liliath hesitated for a moment. Then, as if she had made up her mind about something, she clenched her fists and shouted at Gu Ding, "Lure it over here and face me. I have a way to kill it!"
"Don't be silly. Its defense is too strong.
Run away quickly. I'll be right behind you. "Gu Ding thought that Liliath wanted the giant beast to notice her so that he would have a chance to escape.
"Lure it over. As long as it sees my eyes, I'll have a way to kill it," Liliath shouted at Gu Ding again.
"Lure this monster over. This young lady knows ocular techniques. According to what she said, the two of you still have a chance of survival." The Neptune had always known that Lilia's unique eye bloodline was an inherited ability that originated from her genes.
Generally, eye abilities were very strong, but Neptune wasn't sure what kind of ability this little girl's eyes had inherited.
However, for the other party to say this, it meant that he had a certain level of confidence.
Hearing this, Gu Ding was still a little hesitant. If Lilliath's ability could not kill this monster, she would face the threat of death.
"Interstellar Pirates have an unwritten rule — trust your teammates.
If you can't even do that, then you're not fit to be an Interstellar Pirate.
A person who carries everything by himself is a loner.
No matter how great a lone wolf is, he's not an outstanding Interstellar Pirate. "
Neptune knew that Gu Ding might not be able to hold on any longer. He had to persuade Gu Ding to accept Lilliath's proposal.
"I understand!"
Hearing this, Gu Ding changed the direction of his hiding and rushed toward Lilliath's position.
Seeing that Gu Ding had listened to her advice, Lilliath stood motionless and slowly closed her eyes. As she listened to the sound of the giant beast approaching, her mood completely calmed down.
A moment later, her eyes suddenly opened. Her pupils turned golden as she stared intently at the giant beast's remaining eye.
When the giant beast saw Lilliath's eyes, it suddenly stopped in its tracks.
The giant beast that had been chasing Gu Ding frantically stopped moving as if it had been immobilized.
"This is …" Gu Ding was stunned when he saw this.
A moment later, the giant beast began to wail in pain. It even fell to its knees and hit the ground desperately with its head.
In less than ten seconds, the giant beast's huge head had completely changed shape. However, it still did not stop and continued to hit the ground madly.
In less than a minute, the giant beast's movements finally slowed down. Only half of its head was left, and its body finally collapsed to the ground, dying.
It was only then that Lilliath's eyes returned to normal. Her body went limp and she sat on the ground.
She said weakly to Gu Ding, "It won't live much longer. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
"Gu Ding, there's an Energy Crystal Nucleus in this big guy's head. Go and take it out.
This thing might be able to help you advance to a Rank 2 Gene Body. "
Gu Ding was about to carry Lilliath away when he suddenly heard Neptune's voice.
He froze for a moment and walked toward the giant beast. Under the cover of his Combat Armor, he easily reached his hand into the giant beast's head that only had half of its head left.
A moment later, he touched a small hard object and pulled it out.
It was a white crystal bead the size of a pinky finger, round like a pearl.
He took the crystal bead and handed it to Lilliath. "Your trophy."
Lilliath had seen everything that Gu Ding had done. When she saw the sticky liquid still on Gu Ding's hand, she moved back a little, afraid that Gu Ding would hand it over. "No, it's too disgusting. Keep it for yourself."
"Can't we just find a place to wash it off later?" It was not the first time that Gu Ding felt that he could not read a woman's mind.
Even Auntie Roastbeef, who looked like a man, was unpredictable most of the time.
For example, when someone mistakenly called her an uncle, Auntie Roastbeef would go berserk and beat the person up, regardless of the situation.
This kind of thing happened in Rose Tavern several times a year. Every time, there would be a large crowd of people watching, and no one ever stopped it.
In Gu Ding's opinion, this kind of behavior was completely unnecessary.
As long as he corrected the other person, they would not call him the wrong person next time. There was no need to be so violent.
However, every time this kind of thing happened, the tavern would become especially lively. Gu Ding had always been a person who liked crowds, so he was very happy to see this kind of thing happen.
"No, keep the Energy Crystal for yourself. I never use this kind of thing."
Lilliath knew very well what Gu Ding was holding, but she had never used such a thing since she was a child.
"Well, I owe you. I'll pay you back next time."
Gu Ding saw that Lilliath knew it was an Energy Crystal, but she still refused to accept it. He had no choice but to put it in his Storage Backpack.
"No, you're the leader. I'll keep all the loot with you.
In the future, when other members need it, they can ask you for it. "
Lilliath looked like she really wanted to follow Gu Ding and become an Interstellar Pirate. She raised the corner of her mouth. "Don't keep it with me. I only know how to spend money, I don't know how to save money."
"Well, that's it for now. It seems like I really need to find a partner who knows how to manage money … It's a pity that Reid doesn't want to be an Interstellar Pirate …" Gu Ding still felt that it was a waste of Reid's talent not to be an Interstellar Pirate.
"Who's Reid?" Lilliath found a topic to chat about while Gu Ding carried her on his back.
"Reid. He's my deskmate at Cerule Military Academy. He's very good, he's good at reasoning, and he's also a high-level lawyer …"
