Grade A Magic Crystal

After Pandora activated the Trident's weapons system, she immediately targeted the massive enchanted fish's head and unleashed a barrage of fire.

As the three crimson beams shot forth, Xiaofeng's realization struck sharply: No way—the Trident's weaponry was not a mere laser cannon.

Those beams converged on the beast's skull, carving only three shallow wounds, barely harming the colossal magical creature. It wasn't a laser cannon—it was a magical light cannon, powered by crystallized magic energy.

I knew it—the energy of a C-grade magic crystal is simply too weak. Were it fueled by the magic crystal of this level of beast, the cannon's power would be unleashed to its fullest.

Xiaofeng sighed softly.

Meanwhile, within the Black Dagger fighter jet, Qintian spoke into his headset, "I have a way to acquire this beast's magic crystal without so much effort."

Startled, Xiaofeng asked, "What method do you mean?"

Qintian smiled, "You'll see soon enough... Giant, set me down."

Giant looked at Qintian in surprise. The Trident ceased its assault and hovered midair. The enormous enchanted fish roared fiercely at the hovering jet, even unleashing a massive water projectile aimed at it. Yet the Trident deftly dodged, unharmed. This was Earth's most advanced fighter; it would be absurd to be felled by a mere water blast.

The beast's counterattack inflicted no damage on the Trident.

Elsewhere, Giant's Black Dagger began a slow descent. Qintian leapt from the stationary cockpit and charged swiftly toward the monstrous fish. The soldiers who had fled watched intently as Qintian, clad in a slightly loose black combat suit and sporting a neat short haircut, moved with precise, fluid grace.

Approaching the giant beast, Qintian's small stature perhaps went unnoticed. Suddenly, peculiar claw-like devices materialized on both his hands—iron talons befitting a hunter skilled in scaling lofty heights.

Qintian sprang onto the fish's body, clawing and climbing with remarkable agility, akin to an insect on a vast creature. Indeed, the body of such a magic beast was immense.

Mutated by radiation, marine life had transformed, yet the existence of such a colossal magical beast was astonishing; many had never witnessed its like.

But to Qintian, this enormous creature seemed no different from an ordinary monster.

All eyes fixed on Qintian as he reached the beast's abdomen. Abruptly, his form blurred and vanished from sight.

Pandora inquired, "Where did Qintian go?"

Xiaofeng answered knowingly, "He's turned invisible."

Beside Xiaofeng, Zeus witnessed Qintian's supernatural ability for the first time, astonished. Hesitantly, he asked, "Who is this boy?"

Xiaofeng chuckled, "You'll find him interesting. To put it simply, we have an organization..." Rolling up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo, he said, "See this? I'm Number Nine."

Zeus's face betrayed shock and dread, "Number Nine? How many of you are there?"

Xiaofeng smiled proudly, "That I don't know, but I've found four so far. I'll find the rest slowly. Scared now?"

Zeus's expression darkened; he understood just how formidable Xiaofeng was. If there were several—or even a dozen—like him, his sanctuary would crumble like an anthill.

Just then, Qintian reappeared on the beast's body, clutching a massive black crystal.

Xiaofeng's eyes widened—this was his first sight of a magic beast's crystal. The dark, enchanting hue was utterly captivating.

Pandora gasped, "No way! How did he pull the crystal straight from the monster's body?"

Xiaofeng smiled, "Qintian's ability is not merely invisibility; he also possesses intangibility. He passed through the beast's tough hide and extracted the crystal."

Amidst their amazement, Pandora resumed firing at the enchanted fish to divert its attention and grant Qintian a chance to escape.

Giant reactivated the Black Dagger.

Having secured the prize, Qintian landed and sprinted toward the jet.

The giant beast's head was relentlessly struck by magical beams.

Qintian leapt aboard the Black Dagger, and without hesitation, Giant powered up and soared into the sky.

Seeing Qintian's success, Xiaofeng could not contain his excitement.

The two fighters vanished swiftly into the cerulean heavens.

Left behind was the staggering form of the colossal beast, which, deprived of the magic crystal's energy, quickly deteriorated and crashed violently onto the land.

Far off, the stunned alliance soldiers watched, as if in a daze—how could such a gigantic beast, impervious even to missiles, be felled so swiftly?

Amid their shock, a squadron of armed helicopters roared in, hovering around the fallen leviathan, all frozen in disbelief.

Soon, numerous soldiers began descending from the choppers to secure and investigate the monstrous carcass.

Among the group of off-duty soldiers, a female soldier held a communication device, passing it to a commander.

Upon viewing the footage, the commander's brow furrowed deeply, "Report immediately to headquarters..."
