Based on these two points, conventional space-patrol radars have great difficulty remotely capturing traces of the Soul Spirit Clan.

And since remote positioning is difficult, the only option is to send out Soldier Figurines to conduct these extremely inefficient carpet searches.

More than two hundred li south of the Melting Soul Mountain Range, two mountains hundreds of meters tall have given rise to a small valley in this region, and less than ten thousand meters from these two mountains, two escort ships are slowly approaching.

It is none other than Cangqiong and the Black Sea.

Looking ahead at the two mountains in front of him, Song Chi’s spirit steadied. As long as they passed over the valley beneath these mountains, their patrol mission for the day would be complete.

Compared to the uneventful patrol missions of the past several days, he had already decided that after returning, he would initiate the Fixed-Point Launch Pad and Brainwave Remote Control System on board Cangqiong, deploying the Third Rank Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines to the rear region controlled by the Soul Spirit Clan, to see if the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines would yield other results.

After all, even if the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines deployed were discovered and killed by the Soul Spirit Clan, they could be summoned again after 24 hours, causing absolutely no loss.

During these thoughts, the two warships were getting closer and closer to the mountain ahead. Just as Cangqiong was about a kilometer away from them, the side-mounted Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar suddenly emitted several alert tones.

Song Chi looked with divided attention, and upon seeing the detailed information on the radar, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"The Soul Spirit Clan is here, retreat!"

As he quickly controlled Cangqiong to move backward, Song Chi also didn’t forget to loudly remind his second uncle.

Song Hai’s reaction was swift, and under his control, the Black Sea followed closely behind Cangqiong, quickly retreating.

It was at this instant that several two-headed chimeras with wingspans of 150 meters rapidly burst forth from the waist of the two mountains ahead.

All four chimeras were emitting energy fluctuations of the Second Rank Peak. They didn’t attack from afar by spitting out blazing fireballs; instead, they rapidly flapped their wings, pursuing Cangqiong and the Black Sea with the utmost speed.

After prolonged battles, not only had the Song family gained a further understanding of the Soul Spirit Clan, but the Soul Spirit Clan, in turn, had been studying the Song family’s people and the Alien Torch Warships, which appeared particularly peculiar in their eyes.

They had already realized one thing: long-range attacks posed no fatal threat to Torch Warships equipped with Energy Shields.

It was only possible to deal with a Torch Warship of the same rank with the fastest speed by getting close and striking the hull of the warship with their bodies directly.

However, their plan clearly wasn’t going to succeed this time.

Although the previous days of deliberate hiding had indeed caused Song Chi and his comrades to relax a bit instinctively, a slight mental relaxation did not mean negligence. It simply meant that they were no longer on high alert every single day, while their fundamental vigilance had never been lowered.

Moreover, the Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar equipped on Cangqiong had a special detection advantage for biological energy fluctuations.

Within this distance of less than a kilometer, even with the camouflage of the Second Rank Soul Spirit Clan’s soul wave force field, it was difficult for chimeras of Second Rank size and a volume of 150 meters to be completely hidden.

Therefore, even if the four two-headed chimeras, enhanced by the original source rules to Second Rank Peak strength, flapped their wings all they could, they were utterly incapable of catching up to the two escort ships that had retreated earlier.

Seeing this, a few Second Rank Soul Spirit Clan members hidden behind the scenes immediately issued an order to stop the pursuit to the four two-headed chimeras through the soul imprints in their minds.

In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, seeing that the four chimeras were no longer pursuing, Song Chi swiftly turned Cangqiong around.

After encountering a few Second Rank chimeras and Soul Spirit Clan members, these were bona fide merits for his family, and he wouldn’t let the enemies escape so easily.

Of course, this was based on the premise that Cangqiong now possessed the Combat Power of a Third Rank Peak. If he really encountered four Third Rank Peak chimeras, he would certainly not pursue them so recklessly.

At the bow, the fully charged Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon fired, a hundred-meter-long Sword Light Phantasm shot out, precisely landing on the body of the hindmost two-headed chimera ahead.

Although he did not use the "Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light" feature, even without it, the chimera of the Second Rank, despite being strengthened by original source rules, was severely injured by the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, which had been enhanced to Third Rank Level. The chimera’s flying speed even decreased substantially.

With the dropping back of this Second Rank chimera, its fate was sealed, and it quickly fell under the Purple Main Cannon of the Black Sea that had caught up on one side.

Song Chi’s gaze was fixed on the three chimeras ahead, not allowing himself the slightest complacency for having successfully killed one. Instead, he was thinking of how to trap them all.

The Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon entered into the buffer; he swiftly switched to the [Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon] at his side.

The Third Rank Level "Heavenly Frost" feature had a decent effect, and after several cannon blasts, the speed of the three double-headed chimeras, which quickly retreated, had all reduced by a small margin.

Originally, they were only ten kilometers from the two mountain peaks, which they could have flown back to in the blink of an eye, but under the effect of the five-layer Heavenly Frost, their journey had now become considerably lengthy.

Seizing this opportunity, the Cangqiong and Heihai, following behind, opened fire with full force, leaving one giant wound after another on the bodies of the three chimeras.

Although they were Second Rank combat units, as long as they weren’t approached closely, the chimeras were nothing more than living targets in front of the Second Rank Torch Warships, which were the pinnacle of kite-flying tactics.

Roar!

The pain from various parts of their bodies caused the three chimeras to instinctively let out a roar; although enslaved by the Soul Spirit Clan, this did not mean they had become like Puppet Soldier Figurines, devoid of pain and other sensations. In the torment of sharp pain, they howled to vent their inner rage.

Suddenly, apparently thoroughly infuriated by the Cangqiong and Heihai, the three chimeras stopped their forward charge. They turned around in unison, their wings flapping rapidly behind them as streams of greenish airflow began to swirl around their bodies.

Under the enhancement of these greenish airflows, the figures of the three chimeras seemed to have become even lighter. As their six pitch-black bat wings suddenly flapped vigorously, they charged once more toward the Cangqiong and Heihai.

Seeing this, Song Chi and Song Hai repeated their old trick, controlling their warships to retreat again.

But just then, atop the lion heads of the three chimeras, numerous pale white, needle-like energy spikes suddenly converged.

"It’s Divine Soul Stings, be careful!"

At his ear, the warning from Song Hai resonated, but Song Chi had also recognized this technique immediately and didn’t need any reminder.

These needle-like spikes called Divine Soul Stings were another Divine Soul Power of the Soul Spirit Clan, with a special damage potential targeting the Divine Soul.

Ordinary Colorless and White Torch Seeds could not protect the Spiritual mind of a Torch Ship Captain facing Divine Soul Stings of the same Energy Level.

Even with the protection of a Blue Torch, once struck by these Divine Soul Stings, a Torch Ship Captain would find it extremely uncomfortable, with occasional sharp pains in the mind, taking half a month to recover.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

In the main control room of the Heihai, Song Hai’s face turned pale as communications with Cangqiong were suddenly severed; he assumed that Song Chi had encountered some danger.

However, it was not so. Song Chi had deliberately cut off the communication and vanished from the Cangqiong the moment the link was severed.

The next second, invisible Divine Soul Stings pierced through the Dark Matter Energy Shield and Obsidian Armor of the ship, entering the interior of the Cangqiong.

One second later, a subtle spatial fluctuation once again transmitted from within the Cangqiong as Song Chi returned from the Ruins Market.

Roar!

Ahead, the three chimeras howled toward the sky, furiously flapping their wings as they rushed forward in a frenzy.

Looking to the side, the Heihai remained motionless, caught in a brief stasis, with Second Uncle Song Hai clearly affected by the Divine Soul Stings.

Seeing this, Song Chi did not hesitate to open fire. The next second, the already pre-charged Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon burst forth with an explosion.

It wasn’t the usual hundred-meter Sword Light Phantasm, but a nearly thousand-meter Sword Intent Divine Light.

Activating the Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light feature.

ps: Making up for last night’s update, there will be another chapter this morning.

Also, do these last few chapters feel not quite right?
