86: The Battle of "Number 9", the Patient Hunter

While Lin Chen was on his way to 88 Star Port,

the Huahai Squad began its mission to destroy 9th Warehouse.

The squad currently had 38 Avatars, divided into 3 groups.

The first group was responsible for penetrating the main planet and acting according to the tactical plan.

The second group served as a reserve, and if the first group failed, the second group would immediately take over and continue to complete the tactical plan.

The third group served as a backup force; if the first two groups failed their missions, they would quickly withdraw, select new operational targets, and expand the results of this trip.

Eggs should not be put in one basket; even if the Avatars were to die, they had to die with value.

The defensive strength of 9th Warehouse, while not as strong as 88 Star Port, was still stronger than 7th and 12th Warehouse.

The strongest expert stationed there was a Seventh Order God Ascension Realm Expert, with three million troops, and two satellite-type defensive battleships protecting the warehouse and transit base on the main planet.

Because the One-Eyed Giant Race were masters of space, they were very strong in spatial defense, so the first group of the Huahai Squad could not directly bypass the defense and penetrate the main planet by means of teleportation.

They could only, like Lin Chen, teleport to a certain distance, then use the clumsy method of flying little by little to approach the planet, and enter the planet's interior through free fall.

The members of the Huahai Squad were all old foxes; although they had not cultivated powerful breath-concealing techniques like Spiritual Stealth, they had cultivated various techniques with strong breath-concealing abilities.

Hiding oneself was a required course for old foxes.

The first group stealthily bypassed the first layer of satellite battleship defense, disguised themselves as meteorites, and free-fell onto the main planet.

The One-Eyed Giant Race were too confident in their spatial defense, leading to path dependence, and had long forgotten the method of entering the planet via free fall.

After all, the One-Eyed Giant Race generally used spatial teleportation to travel and rarely flew themselves, so this was a huge defensive loophole.

Utilizing this loophole, the Huahai Squad successfully bypassed the outer defenses and entered the main planet.

Upon landing, the 12 Avatars of the first group split into two again.

The captain and vice-captain each led a team to approach and raid two important targets.

Captain Zhao Shijie led Wan Xue, Beiming Yu, Li Chenggong, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Shan to raid the transit base.

Vice-captain Du Ziteng led Wang Kong, Kong Yang, Xie Huang, Tang Ling'er, and Ye Qing to raid 9th Warehouse.

With the full strength of the Huahai Squad, even with all trump cards revealed, it would be impossible to be an opponent to any God Ascension Realm Expert; so-called strong attacks were more about causing chaos and gathering more enemies to buy time for deploying Type II Power Bombs.

The only drawback of the Type II Power Bomb compared to the Type 3 Contamination Bomb was that it required a little time to activate and was relatively easy to avoid, lacking targeting characteristics.

As the first group began its operation, the two sub-teams arrived near their targets; the demigod captains stopped, while the others exposed themselves and began to charge, assaulting the transit base and 9th Warehouse.

The two demigod captains did not waste time, directly taking out the Type II Power Bombs and beginning to decode them.

Because Type II Power Bombs were too dangerous, they had to be decoded before use, which involved a human identity and surrounding environment verification to obtain usage authorization.

This verification took three seconds, and detonation required one second.

Therefore, the only purpose of the other members of the first group was to attract attention and gather monsters, drawing the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts to the explosion core of the Type II Power Bomb.

When the ten members of the first group exposed themselves, the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts immediately appeared and moved the ten individuals into deep space at the fastest speed.

Having experienced too many attacks, the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts had also become cunning; no matter what, it was always right to move people away first, otherwise no one knew if a sudden attack would erupt from the invaders.

However, their speed was still too slow; two Type 3 Contamination Bombs were detonated with zero-frame initiation, and the "Decay" divine power instantly enveloped the entire planet.

"Decay" dependents appeared, entangling the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts.

Moreover, the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts had not studied military tactics and did not know what it meant to lure the enemy deep or what it meant to be deceptive.

Three seconds passed, and the two Type II Power Bombs were successfully decoded; they only needed one more second to detonate, unleashing power capable of destroying a Fourth Order God Ascension Realm Expert.

At the same time, the second and third groups of the Huahai Squad, hidden in space about 1 light-year from the planet, collectively teleported 2 light-years away, escaping the blast radius of the Type II Power Bomb.

One second; theoretically, the One-Eyed Giant Race's God Ascension Realm Experts could have reacted; they also felt the fatal threat.

However, with the "Decay" dependents present, they thought the danger came from the "Decay" dependents, thus overlooking the two Type II Power Bombs; not only that, they were unwilling to abandon their unpolluted clansmen, trying to save as many as possible.

One second passed, and two silent flashes of light rose from the planet.

"Damn it, Heavenly Demon, you ♦️♦️**…"

"Never want to meet a Heavenly Demon again in my next life!"

"—, I---"

...

More than twenty One-Eyed Giant Race God Ascension Realm Experts all burst into expletives before being enveloped by the bright light, various insults against the human race spilling out.

They were going to die; facing two Type II Power Bombs directly, only a few One-Eyed Giant God Ascension Realm Experts would survive; the rest, along with the planet, would turn to dust.

Type II Power Bombs had many advantages, but their drawback was too much destruction; after use, they could only destroy enemies and yield no benefits from them, which was somewhat of a loss.

Therefore, Type II Power Bombs would not be used unless necessary.

When a Type 3 Contamination Bomb could be used, a Type II Power Bomb would absolutely not be used; after all, "Decay" dependents were also a kind of gain, and killing them could yield resources like Decay Crystals.

Within a short period, three food warehouses and one transit base lost contact, which greatly alarmed the One-Eyed Giant Race's logistics officer; thinking of the front-line failure due to logistics problems, he could already imagine his own fate.

Not only would he, the chief officer, be eaten alive, but his subordinates responsible for this area would also be held accountable; death was sometimes a mercy.

The Huahai Squad's basic and even extended missions were completed, but the Huahai Squad members still remaining behind enemy lines did not stop; instead, they became even more uninhibited.

At 88 Star Port, the Ninth Order God Ascension Realm Expert defender, who had already received the warning, immediately mobilized all God Ascension Realm Experts and demigod experts under his command, forming a net-like defense around the outer Starport, fearing a sneak attack from the human race.

With the food warehouses destroyed, the front line would not have problems in the short term; as long as supplies could be replenished in time in the rear, they could still hold on.

If the Starport had problems, then the Fifth Legion would truly have no ability to resist.

Without food, combat effectiveness could still be maintained at a certain level.

But without weapons, without battleships capable of countering the human fleet, the Fifth Legion alone, with their flesh and blood, could not stop the human advance.

Lin Chen, arriving near 88 Star Port, immediately realized that the situation was not feasible.

After all, the One-Eyed Giant Race were not fools; three food warehouses had been destroyed for unknown reasons, and the destroyers had not been caught; all One-Eyed Giant Race outposts in the nearby area dared not relax their vigilance at all.

A hunter must be patient, and Lin Chen was not in a hurry.

As long as 88 Star Port showed any laxity, he would have an opportunity.

Three days passed; the second group of the Huahai Squad used their lives to destroy a One-Eyed Giant Race weapon warehouse; Lin Chen remained lurking outside 88 Star Port, searching for an opportunity.

Another five days passed; the third group of the Huahai Squad again used their lives to destroy another One-Eyed Giant Race transit base, which made the defenders of the various One-Eyed Giant Race outposts even more terrified, and inspections became even stricter.

Lin Chen was still looking for an opportunity; since it was an Avatar, he had plenty of time to wait; his main body was still cultivating in a safe place, but as long as he dealt a devastating blow to 88 Star Port, the human front-line battle would surely proceed much more smoothly.

Another two days passed, and Lin Chen finally found an opportunity.

A ship carrying wounded One-Eyed Giant Race members was heading towards 88 Star Port; normally, such ships transporting wounded would not pass through 88 Star Port, nor would the Starport accept such mixed ships.

However, there was a true "Divine Race" on board, a severely wounded and dying descendant of a god, who urgently needed to pass through 88 Star Port to take a faster battleship back to the One-Eyed Giant Race for treatment.

Lin Chen was stationed on the troop transport's inevitable path; he didn't know if this troop transport could enter 88 Star Port, but betting an Avatar, even if it failed, was not an unacceptable outcome.

As the troop transport passed, the Gods Avatar arduously penetrated the spacecraft's outer shell and infiltrated the bottom layer of the spacecraft, replacing a dying Tenth Order One-Eyed Giant without anyone noticing.

Under the Gods Avatar's anxious wait, the troop transport approached 88 Star Port; more than a dozen God Ascension Realm One-Eyed Giants appeared, blocking the troop transport and attempting to enter it for inspection.

After all, the appearance of this troop transport at this time was suspicious in every way; they suspected there was a human ambush inside, and it wouldn't be surprising if the cunning human race had some conspiracy.

Before they could forcibly inspect, a token flew out from the troop transport, stopping their further actions.
