Chapter 139 Disrupting Communication
Song Chen walked towards the top of the mountain.
He hadn't taken more than three steps before his figure disappeared into the night.
The shapeshifting technique only altered his appearance; what truly made him disappear into thin air was the master-level ability to conceal his aura, slow his heartbeat, calm his blood and qi, and shrink his spiritual power to the deepest part of his pupils, turning him into a moving stone.
Lin Zhao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking in the direction he had disappeared, his deep brown pupils reflecting the eerie light of psionic energy.
She was only distracted for a moment before turning and walking towards the cave. She couldn't interfere with what happened next, but she had things she could do.
Song Chen stopped fifty meters from the top of the mountain.
The sea snail lay on a flat rock at the top of the mountain.
Its shell is about eight meters tall, and its spiral surface is covered with glowing moss.
The opening of the shell faces the sea, and what extends from the opening is not a soft body, but a semi-transparent spiritual energy field, like a crystal ball suspended in the air, with countless tiny runes flowing inside the ball.
That was its communication organ, working tirelessly for twelve hours a day, continuously sending and receiving mental signals throughout the entire sea area.
Around the shell opening are four Tier 3 Ghost-faced Fish Demons, each facing one of the four directions, acting as its outer guard.
Song Chen memorized the positions of the guards one by one, and then made his move.
Instead of approaching from the front, he climbed up the cliff on the back of the mountain.
The cliff is almost vertical, and the rocks are covered with slippery moss, making it impossible for ordinary people to find a foothold.
But Song Chen's fingers felt like they were piercing the soil when he inserted them into the rock. His 900 points of Qi and Blood allowed him to carve out climbing points on the rock face with his bare hands.
He climbed to a position level with the mountaintop, pressed his body against the rock face, and only his eyes were visible.
The demon-faced fish was twenty meters to his left, and the sea monster was fifteen meters directly in front of him.
The shell opening faces southeast, and he is positioned directly behind it. The communicator's mental scanning range is fan-shaped in front, with the weakest perception coming from behind.
Song Chen waited a moment, until the ghost-faced fish demon's vertical pupils turned outward.
Then he silently climbed up the rock face to the top of the mountain.
When landing, the ball of the foot strikes the ground first, and the knees bend to absorb all the impact into the leg muscles.
There was no sound, not even the pebbles were disturbed.
He crouched in the shadow of the rock, with a 15-meter-wide open space between him and the conch shell.
There was no cover on the open ground.
Without hesitation, Song Chen lowered his body and rushed across the open ground, circling around the edge of the Sea Monster Conch's mental scan.
The Mystic Eyes of Illusion lit up in his pupils, clearly marking the boundary of his mental field. He ran along that boundary, one foot inside the scanning range and the other outside.
The Sea Serpent's psychic field showed no reaction. Its communication organs were only sensitive to large-scale psychic energy fluctuations and objects approaching at high speeds. A human moving close to the edge of the scan was no different from a gust of wind in its perception.
Song Chen walked around to its side, and the opening of the shell was only three meters in front of him.
The semi-transparent spiritual energy field hovered in the center of the shell opening, circulating faster than it appeared up close, with dozens of pieces of information passing through it every second.
He drew the Heavenly Blade, aimed the tip at the center of the mental energy field, and then stabbed it in.
The moment the Tianjun Blade pierced the mental energy field, the flow of energy stopped instantly, like a high-speed machine being suddenly disconnected from its power source.
The shell of the sea snail trembled violently, and the glowing moss on its surface changed from a ghostly blue to a pale white, and then from pale white to dark red.
It emitted a mental shriek, and a visible mental shockwave spread outward from the shell opening.
Song Chen dodged to the side before the shockwave hit him.
The sea snail's shell suddenly contracted, drawing all the remaining spiritual energy back into the shell.
Then it fell silent, severing all its connection with the outside world.
But it's not dead yet.
The shell reopened, and what emerged from it was no longer a mental field, but its true form—a dark gray, soft mass covered with suction cup-like protrusions, each with an eyeball in the center.
Dozens of eyes opened at the same time, all fixed on Song Chen.
Song Chen didn't give it a chance to unleash its ultimate move; the second strike was already delivered the instant the first strike was retracted.
With a single stab into the shell's opening, lightning surged inward along the spiraling shell passages, charring every inch of the soft tissue inside.
Dozens of eyeballs burst simultaneously in the lightning, and fluid gushed out of the shell openings.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 9124 kill points.]
The shell of the siren snail rolled off the rocks and tumbled down the hillside, making a hollow, clanging sound.
This is the strongest beast he has ever killed; at least that's how the kill points are displayed.
Everything happened so fast that the surrounding ghost-faced fish demons only then realized what was happening.
The four third-tier ghost-faced fish demons turned around simultaneously, their mouths opening at the same time, as they communicated with the sea monster conch.
Four waves of mental energy shot towards the mountain peak simultaneously, then froze, as there was no response from the summit. The Sea Demon Conch's mental energy field had vanished; the four communication signals, once sent to the mountaintop, were like pebbles thrown into an abyss, receiving no echo.
While they were still in a daze, Song Chen had already rushed towards the nearest one.
With a single slash, the head of the demon-faced fish was severed from its body.
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 487 kill points.]
He touched the headless corpse with his foot and used the momentum to bend towards the second head.
The second demon-faced fish finally reacted, opening its mouth in an attack.
The sound waves exploded on the mountaintop, but Song Chen's figure had already passed through them, his knife piercing through the open mouth of the demon-faced fish, penetrating its entire skull.
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 501 kill points.]
The third and fourth heads started to run away, but they couldn't outrun Song Chen.
Wings of Gale unfurled atop the mountain, the azure wings propelling his body and pushing him to his limit.
He caught up with the third head, and the blade pierced its spine. He caught up with the fourth head, and severed its spine with a single blow.
Song Chen stood on the mountaintop, sheathing his sword.
The shell of the sea monster had rolled to the foot of the mountain, while the corpses of four ghost-faced fish demons lay across the mountaintop.
From the moment the first stab pierced the Sea Serpent's mental field until now, less than half a minute has passed, and the communication center of Guangchang Island no longer exists.
Without stopping, he jumped off the mountaintop.
The second communication node is located in the deep waters on the east side of the island.
The fourth-tier sea monster conch has a communication range of three hundred miles.
When Song Chen entered the water, it was sending a routine signal towards the mountain peak, and waves of mental energy were spreading outwards.
It had not yet noticed the anomaly on the mountain peak. The sea snails did not exchange information with each other; they were only responsible for sending their own intelligence to the central hub.
Song Chen approached it from behind.
His battle with the direct bloodline of the Abyssal Siren allowed him to understand the sensory blind spots of mollusc-like sea creatures.
He swam half a circle around the edge of the sea snail's mental field, found the blind spot behind him, and then accelerated.
The blade pierced through the shell opening, and lightning exploded inside. The sea snail's soft body convulsed in the lightning for less than two seconds before it completely lost its life.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 4728 kill points.]
The third location is on the west side of the island, a fourth-tier ghost-faced fish demon.
When Song Chen found it in the crevice of the reef, it was repeatedly sending signals toward the mountain peak, its vertical pupils filled with anxiety.
It has already detected that the central nervous system has lost contact.
