Lenny shrugged, and they went below the water, quickly picked up arge pile of Observer standard equipment, and put them on.
“Where are your other friends?” Han Xiao coughed drily.
“Many of them died. This monster robbed our equipment, so if we went too far from the hot spring, we would very likely freeze to death. Some people were dragged underwater by this monster for too long and drowned. Other than us, there is another group of people that’s alive at the other end of the cave tunnel. There’s another hot spring there.
Han Xiao nodded. There was a fork when he came, and the other side led to the hot spring where the other Observers were. If they had gone to the other side first, they would have gotten intel about Interster Beast in advance, but he did not have to do that.
“Why did this Interster Beast capture you people?” Herlous asked curiously. “It seems like it’s deliberately trapping you here.”
Anger appeared on Lenny’s face as she said, “This monster appeared after we crashed. It brought us here, let us move freely in the hot spring, and would sometimes drag us into the water and throw us around like it was ying. It kept us as pets!”
On a life form level perspective, the Space Creatures were superior life forms to humans. Making humans their pets was the same as humans taming beasts as pets. It was almost aw of nature.
However, when humans that were used to turning other species into pets became pets themselves, it felt like their superiority was being stepped on. These Godorans felt enraged and ashamed.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and did notment. Whoever had power could do whatever they wanted with the weak. Outside the areas with civilizations, thisw of the jungle was the only truth. He straightforwardly said, “Alright, you’re already rescued. When the radiation storm in the sky is weaker, we will be able to leave. Old Herlous, go to the hot spring on the other side and bring the other Observers here.”
Bringing those Observers back could drastically increase the mission rating. After making the arrangements, Han Xiao turned to look at Interster Beast thaty on the ground.
The only problem left was how to deal with this beast.
“This is the first Interster Beast discovered by Godora, so it will be very important research material. If you can bring it back to the space station, we will pay you a very high reward.” Lenny was wearing her Observerbat suit and had tied up her hair; she looked neat and confident.
Han Xiao squinted and pondered.
Give it to Godora? No, that would not be worth it at all. Interster Beasts were extremely rare and filled with treasures. The important parts of Interster Beast could be made into Gene Potions that could increase one’s attributes. There was even a chance of getting a talent from the potion. Plus, it would increase the choices during Race Evolution. Furthermore, killing it would trigger a Legendary Milestone.
Most importantly, the powder created by crushing an Interster Beast’s crystal could be made into a special potion. It had no effect on the yers but was extremely rare. It could even be used as a currency to purchase any resources from NPCs.
Such potions only had one effect—to grant part of the Interster Beast’s metabolism adjusting ability. Simply put, this thing could extend one’s life span!
Han Xiao had worried about such an issue since the beginning. It would not be a problem in the earlier versions of Gxy, but the time skips between versions would be longer and longer. Hundreds of years would pass between versions. The life span of Supers was many times that of ordinary people, but in the history of tens of thousands of years, it was still just a very small part.
There were few ways to increase one’s life span. Installing mechanic prosthetics was one of them, but it had very visible side effects. On the other hand, the Interster Beast potion had close to no side effects.
<i>This is very important, so it cannot be wasted.</i>
Han Xiao’s eyes became firm. He grabbed tightly onto the Interster Beast’s crystal, and a wave of emotions were transmitted from the crystal to his mind.
It was begging.
The Interster Beast was begging him for mercy.
Han Xiao ignored itpletely, and Void Jet Spray exploded in his palm.
Boom!
The crystal, already covered in cracks, shattered into pieces and fell into Han Xiao’s hands. The violet light under the Interster Beast’s skin faded. Life escaped from this Space Creature.
This crystal was Interster Beast’s life core, and it was also the most important material.

You have killed a Space Creature.
[Legendary Hunter] Milestone activated.
Current Progress: 1/5 (Kill 5 special creatures)
_____________________
This was a Legendary Milestone. Uponpletion, corresponding Legendary Points would be granted. The special creatures stated here were all sorts of rare and special creatures including Space Creatures that had Boss level attributes. Also, Bosses in dungeons were not counted.
Luckily, there were many monsters in Gxy. Even by thetest version that Han Xiao had yed in his previous life, despite the game being yed by countless yers for many years, there were still cases of yers killing a special creature asionally. After all, there would always be new creatures being born in the universe. Of course, thepetition to kill them was very intense.
Some special Legendary Points could open a certain corresponding storyline. [Legendary Hunter] was one of them—it was simr to a title.
Han Xiao stowed the crystal, pulled out his scythe, and sliced the Interster Beast’s carcass. He quickly collected the important parts. An Interster Beast’s carcass would not rot easily and could be kept for a very long time.
Very soon, this Interster Beast was only left with an iplete carcass.
“Sigh...” Lenny’s face was filled with regret, but she did not have a problem with it. This beast was Han Xiao’s trophy to start with, so he was free to do whatever he wanted with it.
This time, Herlous finally brought the other Observers over.
The Godorans were all surprised. Moments ago, they had still been trapped in the hot spring and singing, but the next moment, they had suddenly been rescued by mercenaries. It felt like a dream.
Seeing the Interster Beast’s carcass, the new group of Observers sized Han Xiao up with shock. They had suffered quite a lot from this monster, and they knew how strong the Interster Beast was.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go,” Han Xiao said.
...
Han Xiao tested the radiation strength with a device as they returned to the surface. After waiting a few days, the short window in the radiation storm finally arrived. They hastily boarded the aircraft and went straight up into the sky.
The aircraft had a capacity for about ten people, but there were more than ten Observers. It was crowded in the cabin.
They passed by the storm area sessfully, and the spaceship went to pick them up.
All the Observers that escaped from death hugged each other passionately, overjoyed.
Han Xiao had his mind on the mission, so he did not waste any time. He set the return route and headed back immediately.
A few dayster, the spaceship returned to the space station. This time, when they requested to enter, they conveyed the fact that they had rescued the lost Observers. Everyone in the space station was shocked.
The space station immediately opened up its port. Unlike the cold treatmentst time, the attitude of the space station’s peoplepletely changed, and they weed them enthusiastically.
The spaceship docked at the port. As soon as the cabin opened, Han Xiao saw that almost everyone in the space station had gathered at the port. The station chief stood at the front. Surprise and contentment were on this serious army officer’s face.
Beside him, the deputy station chief was smiling as usual. However, for some reason, his smile was a little stiff, and there was a faint sense of irritation in his eyes.
