At the moment when Gu Fan's words fell, the roar of the giant cannon immediately echoed in the bridge, and with the full output of the macro cannon missiles and various weapon arrays, the huge body of the ether dragon trembled under the baptism of the large-caliber cannonball.

In a moment, with the launch of a total of 77 annihilation missiles, under the black hole effect caused by it, the carapace of the dragon's body began to fall off in large quantities, and even the three wings with the right wing were broken alive.

At the same time, the assault fleet that followed around the battleship stabbed like a steel knife almost against the line of fire projected by the Queen of Glory under Gu Fan's order.

In line with the attack of the macro cannon, the Viper-class frigates close to the dragon also began to use their own anti-ship firepower to concentrate on strafing its breastplate, which had been attacked by more than a dozen rounds.

And all this happened only in a few minutes, and it can be said that the giant beast did not have time to react to it, and in the painful struggle, its huge body began to slowly fall to the side.

Under the successive bombardments, the battered Aether Dragon had to turn its attention to the Queen of Glory, only to see it open its mouth once more.

In a fit of rage, its huge body burst out with unimaginable power, twisting its body and starting to rush quickly in the direction where Gu Fan was, trying to swallow the black battleship into its belly.

But Gu Fan didn't give the order to dodge, and the battleship's giant cannon still didn't stop roaring, even though the abyssal giant mouth was getting closer and closer, he was like a duelist at this moment.

At this moment, with another volley of the macro cannon, the biological carapace of the aether dragon in front of the chest was finally blown to pieces, and the hot blood like lava began to sputter out from the location of the wound, seizing this opportunity, Gu Fan immediately gave the order to fire the light spear.

Just as the aether dragon's huge mouth full of sharp teeth was about to swallow the Glorious Queen's mouth, with the convergence of energy, the next second, a silver spear of light was shot out from the bow of the battleship.

The light pierced the dragon's open jaws and pierced its unprotected chest, tearing open its beating heart with unmistakable precision.

By the time the dust had settled, the beast's fangs were less than a hundred meters away from the battleship.

......

Although the victory came somewhat dangerously, it was a remarkable achievement to defeat such a planetary ancient beast without any ship losses.

Looking at the aetheric dragon floating in front of him, the once flame-like light on its body was now extinguished, there was no doubt that it was a powerful creature.

If it weren't for the fact that there were suggestions left by his predecessors in the database, then with just a frontal attack, Gu Fan couldn't guarantee whether his small fleet would be as complete as it is now.

By making reasonable planning and trying to avoid their own losses, only in this way can they ensure long-term and sustainable development, and at this moment, Gu Fan's heart gave birth to a strong sense of curiosity.

He wondered why the aether dragon in front of him had been alone in the Norton system for thousands of years, and if nothing else, it might have something to do with the red asteroid not far away.

Not long after, when the battleship passed by the crimson asteroid, Gu Fan finally couldn't resist his curiosity and scanned it, but the final result was incredible.

According to the data of the first scan, there are natives on the seemingly desolate asteroid in front of you, a strange creature similar to a beetle.

These creatures, which are only a finger in size, inhabit the relatively warm interior of the asteroid in general, and the number of groups is quite staggering.

"But how is that possible?"

Looking at the results fed back on the screen, Gu Fan couldn't figure out how life was born in such a barren and barren asteroid where even the atmosphere did not exist?

After further analysis, Gu Fan got an even more shocking fact, judging from the behavioral logic of these insect-like creatures, they even had a high probability of evolving basic intelligence.

These creatures have built several nests in the interior of the planet in the form of tribes, and the materials used are the bones of a creature after analysis, so Gu Fan is even more confused, where did those bones come from?

It wasn't until Gu Fan increased the signal strength of the ship's scanner that after conducting a complete and comprehensive analysis of the entire asteroid, combined with the known clues, Gu Fan finally came to an extremely terrifying fact.

This so-called asteroid was actually an Aether Dragon's egg, and after learning this, Gu Fan understood the reason why the dragon would be waiting here.

As for the beetle-like creatures, they were actually a parasitic species that roamed with space creatures, and for some unknown reason they entered the hatching dragon egg.

Relying on the developing embryos and the nutrient solution originally prepared for the embryos, these parasites have developed rapidly, and in the unbridled eating, the dragon embryos have long been eaten and wiped out by them.

In order to satisfy their endless hunger and rely on their extremely strong reproductive ability, these parasites formed tribes with each other and began to feed on their counterparts of rival tribes, thus surviving and developing in a cruel devouring of each other.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan smacked his lips in disgust.

"Tsk......"

He didn't dare to imagine that if such a species were allowed to develop successfully and eventually enter the starry sky, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire galaxy.

Even more darkly humorous, through a scan of the interior environment, Gu Fan stumbled upon some strange buildings that resembled altars, based on those twisted ornaments and murals painted using the blood of his kind.

After devouring each other for many years, an inexplicable belief was born among the tribes of these insects, and they actually regarded the powerful aetheric dragon outside the dragon egg as a divine beast guarding their homeland.

At this moment, Gu Fan began to pity the giant beast with a sad fate, completely unbeknownst to it, in the past nearly a thousand years, it actually guarded its home for a group of parasites that killed their cubs, and was also worshiped by these hateful creatures.

As soon as he thought of this, a chill accompanied by a deep sense of disgust surged into Gu Fan's heart, and after staring at the disgusting red planet in front of him for a moment of silence.

I just saw him wave his hand towards the snow wind on the side, and then said indifferently in a cold tone.

"Blow it up for me."

......

"Don't leave a single piece behind."
