The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 891: Chapter 869: Interstellar Superstar 39

On the foremost front line of Raya Star, there were innumerable rows of steel giants.

The sky, which should have been blue, was instead ominously dark, as if black clouds were slowly moving in.

Leading the charge was a flower snake worm with wings.

It was dozens of meters long, and its wingspan was nearly a hundred meters, circling directly above the mechas.

Behind it followed various types of the Insect Clan.

The flower snake worm was a Ninth Rank Insect, its massive body was covered with skin harder than steel, impervious even to laser cannons, and it could spray poison capable of dissolving mechas.

Besides the Ninth Rank flower snake worm, there were Eighth-level giant bear insects, lion tiger insects, Seventh-stage sky wolf worms, and so on.

The remaining Sixth-rank and Fifth-level insects were too numerous to count.

It could be said that this attacking force was a group painstakingly gathered by the Insect Queen from her last reserves.

The flower snake worm observed for a moment and noticed Xiao Yuan’s mecha.

It spewed a cloud of poison mist towards Xiao Yuan’s mecha.

Xiao Yuan quickly dodged, and the worm spewed poison mist again, flapping its wings to spread the mist toward more than a dozen mechas nearby.

The poison was about to touch the mechas.

If the poison made contact, it would definitely corrode the mechas and harm or even kill the soldiers inside.

The giant bear insect landed on the ground, larger than a mecha, and a single slap would obliterate a mecha.

Behind it were lion tiger insects, sky wolf worms, and more.

The war had begun; under the pressure of the high-level insects, the Alliance soldiers were fighting with extreme hardship. Within a short time, dozens of mechas were destroyed, and several soldiers were captured and swallowed by the flower snake worm.

Fang Xiaolian was in the rear but kept her attention on the news from the front line.

Seeing the images transmitted via Star Network, tears fell from her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, ”If I can capture these high-level insects, I’ll make snake soup for you, steam bear paws, make wolf fur rugs—hang in there; capture them, and you’ll have delicious food.”

The head chef looked at Fang Xiaolian: ”With all this good food, why are you crying?”

Fang Xiaolian wiped away her tears fiercely: ”Who said I was crying? I’m not crying, I’m happy, moved to tears at the sight of so much good food.”

Even as she spoke, several more soldiers perished, becoming food for the Insect Clan.

Cui Anlin piloted a mecha, dodging the Insect Clan’s attacks, while commanding his mecha to destroy a Fifth-level insect and battling the sky wolf worm.

He watched his senior being captured and devoured by the lion tiger insect, biting his lip until it bled, unable to hold back his tears.

”Damn it, I f***ing curse you, Grandma.”

Cui Anlin cursed as he and several mechas attacked the lion tiger insect together.

Xiao Gen, driving his mecha, stood alongside Xiao Yuan: ”Brother, let’s take on the flower snake worm together.”

He used the intercom to communicate with Xiao Yuan.

”Okay.”

Xiao Yuan agreed: ”We’ll surround it from both sides.”

Seeing the worsening battlefield situation, many soldiers had already perished, and the Insect Clan advanced more fiercely.

Countless middle-level insects were slain, their corpses piled into mountains, and many high-level insects had also fallen.

Yet they charged forward fearlessly, aiming to break through this defense line.

The Alliance soldiers fought desperately to hold the line.

The defense on Raya Star must not be breached.

Behind Raya Star were several resource stars and the most famous tourist star in the Hope Star System, where many Alliance citizens lived. If Raya Star fell, billions of Alliance citizens would become food for the Insect Clan.

The tail of the flower snake worm wrapped around the mecha piloted by Xiao Gen.

Xiao Yuan unleashed his spiritual power to disrupt the flower snake worm.

The flower snake worm thrashed about, tightening its grip even more.

Xiao Yuan swung a punch, striking the weak spot of the flower snake worm, which hissed painfully and tried to swallow Xiao Yuan’s mecha.

”Marshal, be careful.”

Xiao Yuan piloted his mecha to leap away, landing on the back of the flower snake worm. The mecha held onto an Alliance’s newly developed weapon, thrusting it toward the worm’s weak spot.

The flower snake worm was very cunning; it evaded, turned around, released Xiao Gen, and whipped its tail toward Xiao Yuan.

At this moment, an indescribable sound of music began to play.

Anning had approached unnoticed.

She sat cross-legged not far away, with a lute on her lap.

Anning’s right hand stroked the strings of the lute, and a somewhat jarring sound started playing.

The Third-stage Insects went berserk, but dared not approach Anning, instead seeking to get as far away from her as possible.

Soon, countless Third-stage Insects exploded and died.

Fourth-stage Insects collapsed, and Fifth-level Insects rolled on the ground.

Anning shifted her tune, and the Seventh and Eighth Rank Insects fell as well.

The flower snake worm spread its wings to fly away, but with a smile on her face, Anning shifted the tune again, bringing the airborne flower snake worm crashing down.

The flower snake worm hit the ground, writhing all over.

A streak of fresh blood trickled from Anning’s lips.

The bright red blood dripped onto the ground, staining the earth and Anning’s white clothes.

Anning felt a splitting headache, her entire body screaming in agony, on the verge of shattering.

She gritted her teeth, and her right hand stroked the lute strings again, a desolate melody resonating in everyone’s ears.

The flower snake worm howled in pain, as tears rolled uncontrollably from Anning’s eyes, and the blood from her lips dripped onto the lute and the ground, forming red blooms.

Nobody knew how long it took, but Anning’s hands eventually released the lute, and she collapsed to the ground, her presence almost entirely gone.

The flower snake worm was also reduced to fragments.

Xiao Yuan captured the remaining live insects, deploying a laser net to ensnare these combat-weary insects.

Xiao Gen, Cui Anlin, and others also started using laser nets to capture the Insect Clan.

By this time, the insects were extremely weakened, unable to resist the Alliance soldiers.

After capturing several high-level insects, Xiao Yuan opened his mecha and jumped down.

His face was pale, filled with worry, rushing desperately towards Anning.

He crouched down, carefully lifted Anning, and retrieved her lute, carrying her back to the mecha, piloting it at maximum speed towards the rear.

When the mecha landed, Xiao Yuan jumped down with Anning.

”Find a healer.”

Using a communicator, Xiao Yuan notified everyone at the rear: ”Make sure all healers are on standby in the medical room, quickly.”

He ran towards the medical room, carrying Anning.

Fang Xiaolian dropped the cleaver in her hand and turned to run to the medical room.

Cui Anlin almost ran over at the same time.

Xiao Yuan carried Anning into the medical room, placing her in the treatment cabin.

Many healers were already on standby in the medical room.

They rushed over to examine Anning.

”Marshal, Ms. Cui’s spiritual power is depleted.”

”Marshal, Ms. Cui’s meridians are completely severed.”

”Marshal, Ms. Cui’s Divine Soul is unstable.”

One bad news after another reached Xiao Yuan’s ears.

Xiao Yuan’s face turned even whiter, and he punched the wall, nearly breaking it.

His lips quivered but not a single word came out.

He wasn’t the kind of person who blurted out grandiose statements like a Long Aotian character, couldn’t say anything overly dramatic, and never threatened others with harm if they couldn’t heal Anning.

All his pain, he had to bear alone.

Cui Anlin heard what the healers said as soon as he entered the medical room.

He almost crawled to the treatment cabin, looking at Anning lying inside, her face pale with barely any breath, and knelt on the ground, holding his head as he cried.

”Get up, get up, how can I explain this to Mom and Dad? How can I go back? How can I go home...”

He didn’t dare touch the treatment cabin, only punched the floor: ”I haven’t scolded you enough, or bullied you enough. You can’t have anything happen. I’m your brother; I won’t allow anything to happen to you, Cui Anning, did you hear me? I order you to get up. I still want to hit you, still want to bully you, still want to be jealous of you. If anything happens to you, who will I bully, who will I be jealous of in the future?”
