Chapter 291 The Clash and the Opportunity for Reconciliation Between Mysterious Creatures
The shimmering creatures rapidly approached, and the entire fleet went on high alert, weapon systems locking onto their targets and energy reserves ready to be unleashed. These creatures were surrounded by mysterious halos of energy, their bodies as large as small planets, and the energy ripples they created caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.
The leading creature emitted a powerful energy wave with a peculiar frequency that interfered with the fleet's communication systems. Lin Yu frowned and calmly ordered, "Maintain formation, don't panic! Technicians, restore communications immediately and analyze the characteristics of this interference energy." The engineers on the warship raced against time, navigating the complex circuitry and procedures, trying to find a solution.
Meanwhile, other mysterious creatures launched their attacks, unleashing beams of energy at the fleet. Lin Yu skillfully maneuvered the fleet, the warships weaving through the dense barrage of fire, their superior piloting skills and advanced maneuverability allowing them to temporarily evade most of the attacks. However, the shields of several warships were still impacted, their energy readings rapidly decreasing.
Ellie led her research team in a full-scale analysis of the interference energy, discovering that it resonated with a special energy field within the "Astral Gate." She quickly proposed using the fleet's energy neutralization device to emit waves of the opposite frequency to the interference energy, thereby neutralizing it. Lin Yu immediately approved, and as the neutralization device activated, the communication system gradually returned to normal.
"Communications restored!" the communications officer reported excitedly. Lin Yu immediately readjusted the tactics. He observed a certain pattern in the mysterious creatures' attack rhythm and ordered the fleet to counterattack during the intervals between their attacks. The warships fired their main guns in unison, beams of energy shooting towards the mysterious creatures. However, the energy halos around these creatures possessed powerful defensive capabilities, absorbing or deflecting most of the attacks.
Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Ellie made a new discovery. She noticed that the mysterious creature's energy aura would become briefly unstable after absorbing too much energy. Upon learning this, Lin Yu quickly adjusted his tactics, ordering the fleet to concentrate its firepower on the same target, using the instability of the creature's energy aura to break through.
With precise coordination, a warship seized the opportunity, launching a powerful particle beam the instant the mysterious creature's energy aura became unstable. The beam pierced through the aura and struck the creature's body. The mysterious creature emitted a strong energy fluctuation, seemingly severely injured, and its movements became sluggish.
Seeing this, the other mysterious creatures intensified their attacks. The fleet was under immense pressure in the fierce battle, with many warships suffering severe damage. But Lin Yu and his crew did not back down; they persevered with unwavering will and excellent tactics.
At a crucial moment in the battle, Ellie suddenly noticed that the energy waves emitted by the mysterious creature seemed to contain some unusual signals. She immediately analyzed these signals and discovered that they contained information resembling emotions and intentions. Upon further analysis, she was surprised to find that the mysterious creature's attack was not malicious, but rather that it viewed the fleet as a threat to the world.
Ellie quickly informed Lin Yu of this discovery: "They might be protecting this place. Perhaps we can try peaceful communication." Lin Yu pondered for a moment and decided to take the risk. He ordered the fleet to cease its attack and simultaneously sent a series of signals representing peace and friendship to the mysterious creature through the communication system.
The mysterious creatures seemed puzzled by the fleet's actions. They ceased their attack, hovering in space, observing the fleet's next move. Seeing this, Lin Yu continued sending peace signals and directed the fleet to slowly retreat, indicating that there was no hostility.
After a tense standoff, a mysterious creature slowly approached the fleet. It released a gentle energy wave, completely different from the previous attack waves. Ellie deciphered the friendly message conveyed in this energy wave, and the tense atmosphere finally eased.
As the mysterious creature approached, the crew held their breath. The creature reached the flagship, its massive body appearing awe-inspiring beside the warship. It released energy waves again, and Ellie deciphered their meaning: "Why have you intruded here?"
Lin Yu responded through the communication system: "We come from a distant galaxy to explore the mysteries of the universe and find the truth about the 'Gate of the Stars.' We have no ill intentions; we simply want to understand this world." The mysterious creature seemed to ponder Lin Yu's answer. After a moment, it expressed its willingness to communicate with the fleet, but demanded that the fleet abide by the rules here.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief; the crisis was temporarily averted. But the world behind the "Astral Gate" remained shrouded in mystery. What rules did the mysterious creatures speak of? What discoveries would the fleet make in this enigmatic world? Everything awaited their exploration.
