The scenery on Mongo’s screen was violently flickering, clearly caused by the intense movement of Android No. 1, who was providing the visual feed.

Suddenly, a massive thrust came from behind. Android No. 1 naturally executed a forward roll and then lay prone on the ground. When he turned back, he saw a violent explosion about five meters behind him. After the blast, a one-meter-deep crater remained, with faint smoke still curling out, scattering large amounts of soil that splattered onto his face.

The one who had shoved Android No. 1 was none other than Fang Senyan.

Solely based on the offline database contained within the old man’s body, he had become the most important person in Fang Senyan’s heart. The biological data collected by that semi-dead starship over the years could only be described as priceless treasure to the current Fang Senyan and his companions.

Suddenly, there was another flash of light. A human firing a weapon, shirtless in a Rambo-esque pose, was directly hit center-mass. Under the power of the high-energy laser, his body instantly fragmented into seven or eight chunks, splitting apart messily with traces of blood.

An android attempted to flee but was caught by a net that seemed to drop from nowhere, drifting down slowly. It struggled frantically but only became more entangled. Suddenly, the net tightened and violently contracted.

In an instant, the android was sliced into walnut-sized fragments by the razor-sharp threads of the net, which then cascaded down, mixing with turbid, whitish nutrient fluid that pooled on the ground.

Not far away, on the trees and in the open clearing, lay five or six bloody corpses—the perimeter guards—whose very skin had been completely stripped away.

The situation was chaotic; the attack seemed to be coming from all directions. Invisible enemies were everywhere in the forest.

At this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he fiercely hurled a Curse Potion toward the open ground to his right. The Curse Potion strangely flew over ten meters before shattering in mid-air, about half a meter above the ground.

An invisible shockwave immediately spread out. The pale green liquid bizarrely adhered and flowed in the air, spitting out several peculiar electrical sparks. Immediately following this, a human silhouette began to materialize in the air, soon followed by snake-like hair flying up to the neck, resembling tentacles.

Predator.

The cloaking device was standard equipment for these powerful creatures, but the biggest enemy of this technology was water. That’s why Fang Senyan could so easily cause a temporary short circuit.

Although he knew the answer, seeing a Predator for the first time made Fang Senyan’s heart clench. However, his reaction was swift; he immediately dropped his body and lunged forward.

Simultaneously, the massive Ramtas bent down decisively, and three sharp spikes shot out, accurately embedding themselves into the Predator’s spine. They produced a dull, deep sound, simply bouncing off the armor.

Although the spikes were ineffective, Fang Senyan had already reached the Predator before it could fully recover. He slammed a punch into its chin—a punch so powerful that a clear phantom of a giant fist appeared, sending the Predator flying upward, spraying a few droplets of fluorescent emerald blood that looked strikingly beautiful in the night.

Uppercut!

At this moment, Ronnie emerged from the darkness as if by magic, calmly casting the Mark of Death onto the Predator. Before it landed, he flipped his wrist, and his dual daggers crossed in an 'X' shape, slicing out.

Instantly, the scattered emerald specks in the darkness intensified dramatically. It could only be described using the "splashed ink" technique from traditional Chinese painting, as large masses of emerald color stained the darkness. Although Ronnie dodged quickly, a small patch of it still managed to splatter onto him.

The wounded Predator let out a shrill moan—a sound both human-like and fiercely bestial. Even as Ronnie retreated, he embedded his dagger into the enemy’s muscle and violently wrenched it sideways, causing an incomparably gruesome wound, clearly still unsatisfied.

The injured Predator landed and regained its mobility.

Another Predator nearby also revealed itself. While charging Fang Senyan at high speed with its body leaning forward, it simultaneously hurled a frisbee-like object toward him. As the object traced an arc, spinning rapidly, several astonishing cutting blades suddenly sprang out from its edge.

Sparks flew wherever it passed; trees and boulders were cleanly severed.

This was another standard weapon of the Predators: the Razor Disc.

This device could easily slice ordinary enemies in half, granting the highly trained Predator immense power. With the appropriate vision mode, the Razor Disc could automatically lock onto the nearest target; otherwise, it flew in a straight line. Predators could recall the disc, whether flying or stationary, from its current position, which consumed more energy. Furthermore, it could be held in hand for melee combat.

Facing this Razor Disc, Fang Senyan didn't turn his head; he merely extended his left hand coldly, intercepting the disc's path accurately.

With a crisp crack came a chilling sound of cutting into flesh and bone. Fang Senyan firmly grasped the Razor Disc, but half of his palm was cleaved open, bleeding profusely.

Simultaneously, he had to face the counterattack from the heavily wounded—and thus more dangerous and frenzied—Predator. This Predator clenched its fists, and sharp wrist blades, resembling tiger claws, instantly sprang out from its wrist guards, looking very much like Wolverine’s claws, and fiercely raked down toward Fang Senyan’s head.

Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes, preparing to use his deep green gauntlet to block the attack. Unexpectedly, a thick vine from a nearby tree lashed out like a whip, wrapping around the Predator's wrist.

The power of plant life naturally could not compare to the monstrous strength of the Predator. However, in combat, there is the principle of using minimal force to overcome massive resistance. Before it could be snapped, the plant vine yanked toward the side, skillfully diverting the Predator’s attack. This was Dardanyan coming to the rescue.

Fang Senyan seized this opportunity, taking a huge stride forward, effectively throwing his whole body into the Predator’s embrace. He then violently headbutted forward.

His hard forehead crashed into the Predator's mask, instantly creating a massive dent. The mask even shattered and broke away, revealing the Predator’s trapezoidal mouthparts lined with tusks.

Next, taking advantage of the Predator’s dazed state, Fang Senyan delivered a powerful knee strike to its groin. However, this blow seemed to have little effect, clearly indicating differences in the Predator’s physiology from humans.

But the Predator entangled with Fang Senyan failed to seize a counter-attack opportunity. It let out another shrill roar, desperately trying to turn around, as Ronnie had clearly pressed the advantage again, inflicting a severe wound—tearing off a piece of flesh like a wolf before quickly retreating and lurking in the shadows, ready to strike again at any moment.

Ramtas in the distance fired its spikes again, this time aiming precisely for the wound created by Ronnie. In agonizing pain, the Predator struggled wildly, unleashing immense power and kicking Fang Senyan away.

Fang Senyan was puzzled as to why the Predator that threw the Razor Disc hadn't come to assist. Only then did he notice that it was being held fast by a Treant. Yes, firmly held. The Treant looked like a giant vine-craft object magnified a hundredfold, composed entirely of incredibly tough vines. Once entangled, it was no different from being bound tightly. If the Predator cut one vine, two more immediately shot out from the forest to replenish its body.

This was clearly another masterpiece by Dardanyan. Since Fang Senyan held leverage over him, Dardanyan naturally had to demonstrate his value to the fullest during the battle. At this point, Fang Senyan began to realize that the attacking Predators seemed weak in strength and certainly numbered no more than ten, which was why they had tried so hard to create chaos at the start of the fight.

This realization immediately gave Fang Senyan pause for thought.

What Fang Senyan could discern, Mongo could also see. This wasn't because Mongo was stronger than Fang Senyan, but because Mongo was an outsider and, moreover, possessed the overall perspective granted by Android No. 1, an often-overlooked peripheral unit, allowing for a broader strategic view.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Mongo was eager to understand what had happened and activated another nearby monitor to begin the playback…

It turned out that after Fang Senyan suffered an incredibly fierce slam attack from Skullface Tom, he encountered such a monstrous move for the first time and suffered a great loss. Embarrassingly, just as he struggled up from the ground, the guy aggressively charged again, grabbing Fang Senyan and fiercely slamming him toward a nearby rock formation.

Fang Senyan tried desperately to escape the situation, but this tactic of using grappling and throwing moves immediately upon closing the distance truly countered him effectively.

However, the only consolation for Fang Senyan was that his painstakingly accumulated super-high vitality value was finally proving its worth. At least for now, it should sustain him until the disease affecting the ferocious, tiger-like opponent took effect. Once that happened, Fang Senyan thought, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, the situation would drastically reverse.

But the Predators didn't give Fang Senyan a chance to turn the tables. Skullface Tom’s fierce performance attracted their attention, so this group unhesitatingly marked him as the highest threat. After making preparations, they used their most powerful standard equipment: a focused volley from their shoulder-mounted laser cannons... Meanwhile, Fang Senyan, who was battered and unable to even retaliate, was automatically categorized as scrap and completely ignored.
