Chapter 63: The Terrifying Giant Sandworm

  （0063）

  Actually, the 41st Legion should be in command of ten armies with a total force of over five million people. Unfortunately, because Cheng Lingchao himself was only a general rank, far from the marshal's rank, he had no say in the Military Commission, so the 41st Legion could only be considered a second-rate legion. And it is common for second-rate legions to be undermanned.

  If the 41st Legion is at a disadvantage in battle, it must seek help from the nearby 29th Legion. The legion's headquarters is stationed on Guan Yu Xing, not far from Bai Qi Xing. Large warships can arrive in just three days. The commander-in-chief of this legion is Song Weiting Marshal.

  Compared to the 41st Legion, the 29th Legion is much stronger. Whether it's the level of cultivators, or the number of warships, fighter jets, and mechs, they far surpass the 41st Legion. However, the combat effectiveness of the 29th Legion seems to have always been mediocre. It's also unclear where this information came from.

  "Here I come!"

  While talking, dozens of sand swallows have flown up.

  Four robotic turrets continuously fired energy balls in an attempt to intercept the sand wraith.

  However, the movements of those sand wyrms were extremely agile. They were much more agile than human fighter jets. Human fighter jets could not effectively intercept them at all. The energy bullets fired by the six-armed robot also always missed them. Countless energy bullets shot into the starry sky, countless human fighter jets chased after them, but they still couldn't stop the sand wyrms' agile flight. They were getting closer and closer to Planet Aylee.

  "Why didn't you use laser weapons?" Xiaoxiao said with a frown.

  Li Yuzi shook his head and said: "The power of laser weapons is even weaker, and it's basically impossible to deal with the sand thieves."

  The vast majority of space creatures have the ability to absorb various energies. The Sand Wraiths are no exception. In fact, ordinary laser weapons can't even threaten them. The energy cannon caliber of a six-armed robot is only 155mm, which is enough for ordinary sand thieves. But if you want to deal with the Sand Wraiths, it's much more difficult.

  "Boom!"

  Suddenly, a six-armed robot was hit and exploded on the spot.

  The energy crystal inside the six-armed robot is also very destructive when it explodes.

  Fortunately, Xia Xingxiao and the others were hiding in the fortress cave, protected by the base's energy shield. If they had been outside without the protection of the energy shield, it would have been disastrous. The explosion of the energy crystal was no less destructive than a large-caliber energy ball, and with their current level of cultivation, if they had been hit, they would have been killed instantly.

  "Boom!"

  Not long after, another six-armed robot was destroyed.

  Those terrible sand worms, constantly smashing energy balls over, were targeting those six-armed robots. Under their intense attention, the four six-armed robots were quickly destroyed. The main cannon caliber of the six-armed robot was only 155 millimeters, which was too insignificant. The main cannon caliber of warships is calculated in centimeters. Energy cannons calculated in millimeters can only deal with relatively weak sand thieves. Of course, the sand worms also paid a huge price.

  The human fleet's destroyers and frigates are not to be underestimated either. The main gun caliber of a general frigate is only about 300 cm, with slightly weak firepower. However, the main gun caliber of a destroyer exceeds 400 cm, and the energy balls they fire have considerable power. Energy shells with a caliber exceeding 400 cm are fired over, and ordinary sand worms dare not underestimate them.

  Later, several large cruisers arrived and joined the battle group. They used main guns with a caliber of over 500 cm to continuously bombard the sandworm's gathering place. The 500 cm caliber energy shells were even more powerful. Often, one shot could knock down a sandworm. Under the fierce firepower of the cruisers, the sandworms lost at an extremely fast rate. This forced the Sand Thieves to speed up their landing progress, otherwise they would be completely annihilated.

  The cruiser also released a large number of fighter jets to intercept the Sand Wraith. A large number of heavy fighters and Sand Wraiths were mixed together in battle. The entire starry sky near Planet Ayle was chaotic, making it almost impossible to tell who was who. All they could feel was a massive energy fluctuation, like a boiling pot of oil, and no one dared to get close easily.

  For Xia Xingxiao, a small soldier like him, such a large-scale air battle was simply like watching a movie. Of course, it was much more cruel than watching a movie. The chaotic starry sky had countless lives lost at all times. Whether human or Shazhou, the number of deaths was in the thousands. And the final casualty figures, no one could predict.

  "Damn it! The giant sandworm is coming!" Li Yuzhi suddenly shouted.

  Xia Xingxiao hastily followed his line of sight and looked over. Sure enough, in the middle of the Sha tribe's army, a golden-yellow sandworm appeared. Its body length was at least hundreds of kilometers long. The diameter of its body exceeded ten kilometers. With the arrival of such an enormous creature, the entire starry sky seemed to become quiet. Even a fool could feel that danger was rapidly approaching.

  What's even more unsettling is that the golden-yellow sandworm's body surface has countless sharp thorns. In the starry sky, these thorns stand out especially prominently. Fortunately, these thorns are all grayish-white in color. If they were to turn a deep purple-black, I'm afraid all the human troops present would be doomed to perish. The deeper the color of the sandworm, the stronger its lethal power.

  As expected, with the appearance of this golden sandworm, the human army had to gradually retreat. Especially those destroyers and frigates, which retreated behind the cruisers one after another. All fighter jets were hastily returning to their mother ships. The eight cruisers also kept a safe distance from each other, lest they be destroyed by the golden sandworm in one fell swoop. To be honest, facing such a behemoth, even the cruisers felt somewhat powerless.

  "Boom!"

  A golden-yellow giant sandworm spat out an energy ball.

  The diameter of this energy sphere exceeded one kilometer, and its surface emitted a faint golden light. It rotated continuously, but its forward speed was not fast. However, wherever it passed, everything was swept away. Whether humans or sand thieves, they were all cleared out. The various energy bullets of humanity compared to it were simply pulled down by several hundred streets.

  A massive energy sphere was emitted, and the entire starry sky felt a strange tremor. The meteorites, dust, and other things in the starry sky were all attracted to the energy sphere, mixing into a ball. The orbit of Aiyexing was originally fixed, but under the traction of this energy sphere, its orbit actually changed, shifting outward by at least 50 meters.

  This massive energy sphere contains a huge suction force. Not only was Aiyexing drawn off its orbit, but the cultivators' Dantian also had a feeling of being attracted. Especially Xia Xiangxiao, who felt it more intensely. He had a feeling that his Dantian was being forcibly pulled and torn apart. If not handled in time, all Dantians would likely be torn apart by this force.

  Lian Xiaoxiao and others had such a feeling, let alone Li Yujie and the others. Faced with such a powerful energy attraction, each of them could only hold their breath tightly, stabilizing their own dantian and not allowing it to become abnormal. As for other aspects, they were temporarily too busy to care.

  "My god, this is so fierce!" Xia Xingxiao couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

  It's said that energy in the universe is mutually attractive. The side with enormous energy often attracts the side with smaller energy, and indeed it does. Black holes and dead stars, white dwarfs, etc., all contain terrifyingly powerful energy. That damned golden sandworm, the energy ball it spewed out was a bit too frightening?

  The eight cruisers of the human fleet also sensed danger. They instantly raised the energy of their protective shields to the extreme. For a moment, the surface of all the cruisers was enveloped in a thick blue glow. These blue glows were the thick energy shields. To annihilate these cruisers, one had to first shatter all the energy shields.

  "Boom!"

  An energy sphere exploded near the cruiser, instantly triggering an energy storm.

  A cruiser weighing over 300 million tons was attacked by an energy sphere, and some of them could not withstand it. Fortunately, the protective cover on the outside of the cruiser was still very powerful. After the energy sphere tore through the protective cover, the damage to the cruiser itself was no longer significant. Most cruisers eventually stabilized their bodies and were unscathed.

  However, the fighter planes around the cruiser were all annihilated. Those that did not have time to enter the mother ship to take cover would definitely not end well in the face of such a powerful explosion. In an instant, they were all reduced to nothingness by the energy ball's explosion. The sudden energy storm engulfed everything around it. For a moment, on the human army's side, nothing else could be seen except for warships.

  "Awesome! So cool!"

  Xia Xing Xiao couldn't help but take a cold breath.

  That golden-yellow spiky big sandworm is freaking awesome.

  If a few more of those energy balls come, the human army will be annihilated!

  "Don't be afraid, we also have the ultimate weapon! Just wait and see, that big sandworm will not go well! It has a kind of don't run!" Li Yuzhi said calmly.

  As if to verify Li Yu's words, in the starry sky, all cruisers opened a special energy channel. Endless dark yellow light rotated near the bow of each cruiser. The yellow light from each cruiser slowly merged together, and the light gradually became brighter. Suddenly, everything around became quiet.

  That golden-yellow sandworm seemed to have sensed the danger too, constantly twisting its body in the starry sky, trying to escape the battlefield. The sandworms around it were also desperately dispersing. As for the sand eagles, they were fleeing in all directions without regard for their lives, utterly disheveled.

  Just as Xiaoxiao was about to ask the cruiser what kind of weapon it was going to launch, he saw each of the cruisers shoot out a beam of light, enveloping the golden-yellow giant sandworm. The beams seemed to be alive, tightly wrapping around the giant sandworm. No matter how hard the giant sandworm struggled or moved, all the beams locked onto it firmly.
