Chapter 213: The Sudden Approach of the Predator Fleet
Not until the Incandescent left did many of the Half-Fish Planet's natives dare to approach this place. They looked at the scarred earth with dazed eyes.
Among these people, there were several creatures surrounded by the natives of Half Fish Star. They were also shocked, but they quickly dialed the smart terminal.
…
In the Pisces galaxy, on the back of another uninhabited planet, a large number of warships are anchored.
The Star Chaser's fleet consists of more than twenty warships, most of which are small and medium-sized plundering ships. The main ship is a modified Cangming-class battleship.
It is the main warship model of the Barot civilization. A plundering group of this size is already a plundering team that cannot be underestimated.
They are a plundering group that uses Half Fish Star to fish, and they have also trained many indigenous plunderers on Half Fish Star.
In the main cabin, the boss Hodge was already waiting here, and the hall was full of his men.
Huo Qi Na sat in his seat, staring at the energy index on the holographic screen. His subordinates reported beside him, "This is the high-energy reaction detected on the Half Fish Planet not long ago."
"It has reached the B-level category, and even vaguely exceeds the B-level category."
"Exceeding the B-level category..." Huo Qina stared at the screen with a changeable expression. There are many possibilities that the energy reading exceeds the B-level.
"Is it a Class A life form?"
The subordinate looked a little embarrassed: "We don't know either. The peak energy reading appeared for a very short time, and we can't be sure that it is an A-level life form."
The energy reading is only an indicator, and many energy reactions may exceed the B-level range.
"The Pisces Galaxy is so remote, how could anyone come here?" Hodge frowned, a little confused.
At this moment, the subordinate seemed to have received some news, and looked up and said, "Boss, there is news about the hook we put on the Half Fish Star that needs to be reported."
"Hurry up and connect it!" Hodge, who was in the dark at the moment, suddenly said happily.
The figure of Hook appeared on the holographic screen, and Hodge asked impatiently, "What happened on Half Fish Planet?"
"Boss, there's a big fish!" Hook looked excited. He turned the camera and aimed it at the Rhodes spaceship that was destroyed by Li Yu.
"This is the advanced spaceship of the Amethyst Civilization!" Hodge recognized it instantly because he was from Barlotte.
I am all too familiar with the Amethyst civilization.
How could the advanced spacecraft of the Purple Crystal Civilization appear here? This question flashed through his mind, and Huo Qi was a little excited. No matter what, there must be a big secret hidden in it.
"The people of the Amethyst Civilization seem to be trading something with others here." The hook pushed out a native of Half Fish Star, who looked humble as he looked at the holographic screen.
"They were nearby and saw something. Repeat what you just told me."
“Yes… yes…” The native nodded hurriedly and narrated: “We were very far away at the time and did not dare to get close. Through the telescope, we saw that they were trading a purple crystal.”
"It is very beautiful and I have never seen anything so beautiful."
Hodge frowned slightly, then widened his eyes, stood up suddenly, intercepted a picture from the interstellar network, and asked the other party to identify it: "Is it this kind of crystal?"
The native stared at it for a long time and said uncertainly: "It seems to be this kind of crystal, but that one is bigger."
Hodge's whole body was trembling, his face flushed, and he had only one feeling in his heart, that is... he was rich!
"Amethyst mine core, it's actually an amethyst mine core. I didn't expect to encounter an amethyst mine core here." The picture that Huo Qi found was naturally the picture of the amethyst mine core.
He was born in the Barot Civilization, which is the sworn enemy of the Amethyst Civilization. The first civilization that the Barot people are familiar with is their own, and the second is the Amethyst Civilization.
He had this guess when he heard about the purple star stone.
"Boss, we didn't expect that we were so lucky. We avoided the crisis of destruction in the ownerless land and encountered the amethyst mine core when we returned to our hometown!" The subordinates around him also said excitedly.
"Don't be happy too soon. Based on the energy readings just now, it's hard to say that there are no A-level life forms." A subordinate poured a basin of cold water on them, calming everyone down instantly.
No one can ignore Class A life forms. Hodge couldn't help but shudder. He had seen the destructive power of Class A life forms before and could completely fight against their fleets alone.
"The most crucial thing is that the spacecraft of the Amethyst Civilization has been destroyed, which means the transaction has not been completed." Another plunderer added.
Then they asked the Banyu natives, but they only got the news that the Amethyst civilization took the initiative. As for the subsequent battles, it was difficult for them to observe them specifically.
"It's impossible for two A-level life forms to fight, otherwise the Half Fish Continent would have been torn apart long ago."
"Since the Purple Crystal Civilization took the initiative, it means that they know they can defeat the other side."
"However, it was Amethyst who failed in the end, which means that the other party had a trump card that they didn't know about."
"It is most likely not an A-level life form, but some kind of trump card that can unleash an A-level energy attack. Otherwise, the Amethyst Civilization would not have taken action before."
“…”
Everyone analyzed it at once, and actually came up with some pretty decent analysis.
At this moment, one of his subordinates suddenly stood up and said, "Boss, we have detected that the spaceship that entered Half Fish Planet thirteen days ago has flown out of Half Fish Planet again."
Monitoring of the voyage of the Incandescent Light appeared on the screen. It had entered the Half Fish Planet thirteen days ago and had not left for such a long time. It chose to leave now, which made it very suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
"Boss, this is the special spaceship. I've reported to you before. Hook from Half Fish Star said that the people on the spaceship killed many indigenous predators." The subordinate added.
Hodge frowned. He remembered his subordinates' report, but they were hiding here in order not to attract attention.
Those indigenous plunderers died, and he had no intention of taking any action.
But now that the amethyst mine core is involved, things are completely different. If he can get the amethyst mine core, combined with his previous accumulation of wealth, he can even plan the evolutionary path of a Class A life form.
With an uncertain expression, Huo Qi'na gritted his teeth and said, "Be prepared to attack, wealth and honor come from risk!"
Although according to the analysis of my subordinates, the other party is most likely not an A-level life form, I cannot be sure.
However, it is normal to have risks. For these predators who live on the edge of a knife, as long as the danger is not certain death, they will give it a try.
In the Incandescent, Li Yu sat in a mechanical seat, thinking with his head down, although he declined Rhodes' invitation.
But what the other party said was not wrong. He was also thinking about this matter. It would be of no benefit to wander in the universe all the time.
The sandworms and the alien queen on the body cannot be developed well. They are powerful forces and should not be underestimated after they are cultivated.
But if you just find a random place to hide without sufficient resource support, it would be no different from continuing to wander in the universe.
And now he has reached the B-level life form, and to reach the A-level life form he will need huge resources.
But if he just joins a certain force or civilization casually, even if he is a Class B life form, he will not be able to play a big role.
The B-level life forms they cultivate themselves cannot even become A-level life forms, so how can they spend the effort to cultivate outsiders?
"It seems a bit troublesome..." Li Yu stroked his chin and thought carefully.
At this moment, Little Noisy sounded the alarm: "Master, the spaceship has been locked, and an unknown warship has been detected approaching."
Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that the spaceship was locked meant that the other party had the intention to attack. How could he be ambushed right after coming out of Half Fish Star? Was it Amethyst's people?
However, when he saw those warships appear in his field of vision, he realized that they were the plunderers?
Based on the opponent's logo, Li Yu found the corresponding plunderer on the black hole network - the Star Chasing Plundering Group, which is one of the plundering groups active in the Borderlands.
"Another plunderer from the no-man's land..." Li Yu's face looked a little strange. He really had a connection with these plunderers.
In fact, there are not too many predators within many civilizations, and the internal patrol fleet is to deal with these predators.
The looters from many nearby civilizations are almost all concentrated in No Man's Land.
However, due to the special situation of the No Man's Land, the Star Empire seemed to be shouting that all the civilizations present were garbage and that they should come and fight them if they did not accept it. As a result, those plunderers did not dare to stay and all evacuated.
The hunter guessed: "They should be the predators who control Half Fish Star."
"Unknown spacecraft, stop immediately and accept our inspection! You are passing through our territory, so you don't plan to leave something behind?"
A broadcast sounded in the channel, causing Li Yu to frown slightly.
"That's not right. Although Half Fish Star has a very bad reputation, there were many spaceships that left safely and none of them encountered this group of predators." The hunter said in surprise.
Li Yu nodded, it was indeed a bit strange, he shouldn't be so unlucky, if it wasn't because he was too unlucky, then the other party came with a purpose.
"At this juncture, it can't be because of the mineral core..." Li Yu remembered that when he was trading with Zijing, there seemed to be indigenous predators watching nearby.
But later, Dark Star suddenly appeared, and by the time the battle with Dark Star was over, the group of indigenous predators had already run away.
"Fuck..." He suddenly cursed inwardly, and thought of one thing. Rhodes was dead, and no one knew where Dark Star had taken the Amethyst Core.
But the Amethyst Civilization had no idea about the appearance of Dark Star, which meant that he was inexplicably blamed.
The Amethyst Civilization probably thought that he had killed Rhodes and swallowed up the core of the mine.
Although he was not afraid of the Amethyst Civilization, he still felt very unhappy about taking the blame for others.
Hodge's face was gloomy and his palms were full of sweat. He was too nervous, afraid that an A-level life form would jump out of the fiery red spaceship.
"Last warning, we are about to launch an attack." He broadcasted on the channel. As a predator, how could he be like a regular army and attack after multiple warnings?
He was testing the water, so he didn't mention the amethyst core. If the other party had a Class A life form, then there was still room for maneuver.
After all, this is the universe. If the spaceship explodes and loses its means of navigation, even if it is an A-level life form, it will be very troublesome if it does not die.
Seeing that the other party had activated the energy shield, Hodge's expression gradually became excited. This action showed that the other party did not have an A-level life form.
"We can only find an opportunity to jump away..." Li Yu frowned slightly. After all, the opponent was a real warship fleet. Although they were rather dilapidated, they were not damaged.
The main ship Cangming is one of the main battleships eliminated by Barlotte, and it has impressive armed firepower.
His own Incandescent Light was just a spaceship, designed to be lightweight rather than combat-focused, so there was no point in continuing the fight.
boom!
The two assault ships opened fire directly, and a beam of white light brushed past the edge of the Incandescent, interrupting the Incandescent as it was about to enter the jump state.
This seemed to be a signal. The other warships fired in unison. The light beams covered the sky and the sky. The energy ion cannons instantly covered the Incandescent Light. The energy shield flickered continuously and the entire spaceship was shaking.
"I'll do it!" The hunter's eyes narrowed slightly, and he switched the driving mode in his hand, using Xiao Chaonao as an intelligent assisted driving device.
"Hold on tight."
The hunter controlled the Blazing Light, and most of the energy poured into the thrusters. Blazing flames spewed out, and the Blazing Light almost turned into a stream of light.
The Blazing Light has greater maneuverability and flexibility, and the Hunter's driving skills are extremely high. Although it looks scary, more than 20 warships are firing at the same time.
However, most of the attacks just missed the target and did not hit the Incandescent, and only a few of them caused the energy shield to flicker.
After all, it is the mount of the Blazing Star Leader and it is not so easy to break into.
"Haha, you don't even know how to fire in turns, and you can't even calculate the cooling and charging time of the ship's energy cannon." The hunter sneered, his words full of contempt. The Spear of Argos began to "ignite", and the laser beam gathered energy.
The fission colony of the Titan Colony fell down and flowed out along the gap of the opened hatch of the Incandescent, condensing into five electromagnetic turrets on the surface of the spacecraft.
"Can we play this way?" The hunter was a little surprised, but became even more excited: "This makes it easier."
The hull of the Incandescent Light flipped over and narrowly avoided several solid artillery shells. The opponent's energy cannon was still cooling down and gathering energy, which was a rare opportunity for an attack.
The lead time to enter the jump state is too long, and the enemy fleet is unlikely to give them this opportunity.
"Boss, the other side's spaceship pilot is quite skilled."
In the command channel, a captain said in a deep voice, Huo Qi naturally knew that his fleet command level was not high, he was only half- baked .
When the marauders fight, they all rush forward in a swarm, and few of them use tactics.
"Li Yu!" The hunter shouted and quickly approached an impact ship. The electromagnetic cannon attached to the surface of the Blazing Light had already been charged. The azure electric arc exploded on the opponent's energy shield, flashing continuously.
The universe is silent and electric arcs are spreading!
"Inject energy, inject energy!" The captain of the assault ship shouted, and the battleship's old energy engine began to work with difficulty.
But the Spear of Argos had already been prepared. This attack system was known for its penetrating power. The red beam of light instantly penetrated the blue arc, and the already unstable energy shield was broken into tiny gaps.
The metal hull barely held on for half a second before it was penetrated directly, completely tearing its internal structure apart. Sparks flew, shock waves burst out, and the alloy hull twisted and broke directly!
The aftermath swept in, and the collapse trend continued to expand outward. The cabin began to explode and shatter, and the hole expanded several times in an instant.
The suction from the vacuum was like a hurricane. A large number of predators were pulled out of the battleship and thrown into the universe by the terrifying suction.
Part of the body quickly stiffened and blood vessels ruptured. The vacuum environment was fatal to lower life forms.
Only a few of the raiders were wearing armor and had their own circulatory system, so they were fine for the time being.
