Chapter 546: Chapter 443: Where Did So Many Evolved Creatures Come From
If even he couldn’t defeat them, the small fry behind him stood no chance at all.
Every genius from the Cross family was proud. The three he’d brought with him on this trip were unconvinced.
"Uncle Graham, why should we be afraid of these things? The Cross family’s Thunder Element is the bane of all living creatures. If we work together, we can definitely destroy them!"
Dana Cross, clad in a tight-fitting purple combat suit, crackled with Thunder Element energy. She drew a long whip from her waist, ready to strike at Vert.
Her target was the three-eyed monkey on Vert’s back. "Gloria, watch this. I’ll catch that little monkey and make it your pet!"
Dana and Gloria Cross were close cousins. Gloria was the younger of the two, so Dana always looked out for her.
"Dianna, don’t!"
Just as Dana Cross’s whip struck, Vert beat its wings and soared higher, effortlessly dodging the blow. It then let out a sharp CHIRP with its wings, a clear warning.
Their master had ordered them to guard the entrance to Villa No. 3 and stop any strangers from entering, but he hadn’t issued a kill-on-sight command.
They were only to attack if the intruders tried to force their way in or harm someone.
Her whip strike having missed completely, Dana Cross glared, her eyes wide with indignation at the giant Flying Mantis before her.
"How dare you dodge when I’m trying to whip you!" She raised her whip again, but Heath Cross stopped her.
Heath Cross had eyes that were strikingly similar to Lex Cross’s. Gifted with extraordinary talent, his power developed at an incredible rate, earning him the title ’General Young Thorne’ within the Cross family. He had idolized Lex Cross since childhood, striving to be as methodical and principled as him.
In all matters, he held himself to Lex Cross’s code of conduct.
Of the three members of the younger generation of the Cross family present, he was the highest level: peak Nebula Level in the Thunder Element. Once he achieved a breakthrough, he would be eligible to join the Cross family’s elite forces and fight on the extraterritorial battlefields for the Ancient Universe.
This trip to Earth was, in a way, a test for the three of them.
"Dianna, stop. Uncle Graham hasn’t said a word. Don’t do anything rash!"
Dana Cross was also very talented. Though willful, she knew when to back down. And Heath Cross’s words had always held sway with her.
She pursed her lips, shot a sideways glance at Heath Cross, then huffed and stepped back into place.
"Dianna, don’t be reckless!"
At that moment, Gloria Cross walked over and took Dana Cross’s arm. "Dianna, Brother Heath is right. We should listen to Uncle Graham. Please, don’t be so reckless!"
Gloria Cross shot another longing glance at the little monkey on the giant Flying Mantis, then clenched her jaw and forced herself to look away.
Most girls have a soft spot for fluffy creatures, especially one as small and cute as that little monkey.
Meanwhile, Monkey One sat on Vert’s back, its three eyes wide open as it gesticulated wildly, pointing at the hundred or so people below. It looked adorably fierce, as if it were trying to scold them for their actions.
"This place is bizarre! The surrounding plants seem to be sentient as well. No one make a move. If these are truly creatures from the extraterritorial battlefields, we should leave at once."
Meanwhile, Caleb Bloom, Sherman Lynch, and the others inside the Villa No. 3 complex remained hidden. They were holding fast to the instructions Flora Bloom and Lex Cross had given them before leaving.
No matter what happened at the base, they were not to leave the villa under any circumstances until the two of them returned.
With two children also inside the Villa No. 3 complex, they were being extra cautious, guarding the courtyards of the three villas without leaving for even a second.
They knew something must be happening at the entrance to the Villa No. 3 complex, but no one left.
However, with so many people suddenly appearing in the base, Sepherdine, the base commander, had to see for himself what was going on and why the base’s swarm of bees was gathered at the entrance to Villa No. 3.
"May I ask what brings you all to this place?" Sepherdine had brought only one subordinate, a High-level Rank-1 Earth Ability User. The two of them arrived before the members of the Cross family, one leading and one following.
"Who are you?" Dana Cross was the first to speak.
"I am Sepherdine, the commander of this base. I would advise all of you not to force your way into Villa No. 3. Its owner isn’t home, and trying to break in will provoke an attack from them."
Graham Cross sized up the man before him. ’A peak High-level Superpower User,’ he thought. ’On a planet like Earth, he must be the strongest there is!’
’His subordinate is High-level Rank-1 as well. No wonder he’s the commander of this base.’
’Lex brought us here, so he must be acquainted with this base commander. Or... could this base actually belong to Lex?’
