Chapter 328 Ancient Channel Entry Point
Ten days later, Li Yu's transport ship began to approach the entry point of the ancient waterway - Lant Hub.
Of course, they couldn't just rashly enter the ancient waterway, otherwise they would end up in a miserable situation.
There is an entry point at certain intervals in the ancient waterway. The so-called entry point is a temporary gathering place.
A large number of interstellar explorers, plunderers, and scavengers come here to resupply and purchase the most important supplies - the Ancient Route Compass.
The internal environment of the ancient waterway is extremely treacherous, and you cannot make jumps and sails at will, otherwise it is easy to end up with the ship destroyed and people dead.
The Ancient Waterway Compass is just a common name. It is actually a relatively sophisticated mechanical device made of certain materials found inside the ancient waterway.
Most of the dangers in ancient waterways can be detected in advance, such as magnetic turbulence, tidal thunderstorms, and meteorite belts.
The Lant Hub is a land mass, like an interstellar island.
There are many stabilizers and thrusters at the bottom, and a translucent cover covers the entire hub, maintaining the atmosphere and gravity.
The Rant Hub has a rough architectural style, forming a city that looks gray and black overall, with no exquisite buildings.
The crude dock is dormed with countless hideous-looking modified spaceships, all painted with different logos. They are all vehicles for explorers, plunderers, and scavengers.
Among them are many notorious criminals, such as a big plunderer whose bounty exceeds one billion star coins.
The spacecraft landed smoothly. There was no need to go through any formalities. It simply found an empty space and parked inside, leaving a few people to guard it.
If this were not the case, by the time they returned, I'm afraid this transport ship would be just an empty shell.
As the crowd followed Li Yu into the city, they saw extremely wilful looking criminals everywhere on the streets.
This group of people were totally out of place here from their attire to their temperament, attracting countless villains to look at them wantonly along the way.
Because it is located on an ancient waterway, there are no rules here. The air is filled with hostility, making people's hair stand on end, and there are dangers everywhere.
So the Iron Fist team was already fully armed and wearing armor, except for Li Yu, who was wearing a mask and a windbreaker.
Although these people looked around, they did not act rashly, because no one knew what kind of guy would come here.
Stanley frowned and whispered, "Sir, I feel the gazes of at least ten B-level Evolvers. They look at us as if they want to eat us up."
Li Yu laughed, "In a place like this, strangers are probably equated with fat sheep. Those who are on the edge of a knife don't really know what fear is."
Looking in the direction of the finger, they saw a group of people leaning against the wall, pointing at them with hostile and aggressive eyes.
The leader looked at Li Yu who was wearing a mask and pointing at him, and immediately sneered. Those guys who pretend to be mysterious often don't have any real ability.
He raised his palm, made a throat-cutting motion on his neck, and grinned grimly.
Stanley's eyes suddenly darkened, he bent his legs, took off, and ran straight towards the group of people. Without saying a word, the nano streams formed into a mechanical sword and slashed out.
The group of people were caught off guard and immediately opened fire.
Ding ding ding——
Sparks flew everywhere, and bullets all bounced off the silver nano-mechas. Stanley was unstoppable, cutting several people in half, and blood exploded on the ground!
"You're looking for death!" The leader was right next to them. He was furious and pulled out the shotgun from his waist, spewing out several extremely hot fireballs.
Stanley swung his mechanical sword horizontally, directly splitting the fireball that was coming towards him.
He swung his sword, and the nano blade extended, binding the leader's body like a whip, and suddenly retracted.
brush!
Before he could even hum a single sound, he was cut into several pieces!
Dare to challenge the adults, this person is tired of living!
There are not only criminals in the Lant Hub, but also some chambers of commerce that sell logistical supplies. They have their own guards, but they are not responsible for maintaining law and order here.
This is a typical chaotic zone. As long as the war doesn't spread to them, no one cares about outsiders killing each other.
The atmosphere here is bold, the city has no regular planning, it is scattered and there is no artificial light in the sky.
Only the lights of the city illuminate the hub, which is filled with gray and black colors, which can easily induce the most evil desires in the hearts of living things.
The villains like this place not only because it is a neutral supply base, but also because they like the rules here.
They can be violent and vent their feelings as much as they want. In this place, killing or being killed doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Stanley's sudden attack caused a chain reaction, and a chaotic mechanical clicking sound was heard.
The thugs on the whole street raised their guns and pointed them at him, with ferocious looks on their faces and swords drawn, as if they were about to rush forward.
At this moment, the Iron Fist team drew their weapons in unison, showing no sign of weakness , and surrounded Li Yu with a tough attitude.
The thugs with guns hesitated for a moment. They would not attack for a group of unrelated thugs. They just wanted to prevent them from continuing to attack others.
"Keep going..." Li Yu's indifferent voice came.
Under the vicious gazes of villains on all sides, their team walked through the block before putting away their weapons.
Everyone continued to move forward with a calm face, and no one commented on the commotion that had just occurred, as if it was just a normal little thing.
Li Yu did not blame Stanley for his sudden action.
In a place like this, it is useless to keep a low profile. You must show your claws and teeth to deter potential enemies.
It also allows you to show your toughness, and no one will say anything about it.
"You don't have to follow me all the time. Go buy supplies and gather information." Li Yu ordered.
"Yes!" Stanley whispered. He knew that Li Yu didn't need their protection at all.
Then, he quickly issued various orders in the internal communication channel.
The members of the Iron Fist Team surrounding Li Yu quickly dispersed into the crowd and disappeared.
After the Iron Fist team disappeared, Li Yu became less noticeable. The [Titan Colonial Suit] extended a dark hood, covering his entire head in shadow.
The last time Soli and Das’ smart terminals sent a message was two days ago. They seemed to have tracked down some clues of the Hermit Team and entered a place where the signal could not be transmitted.
Due to the particularity of the ancient waterway, the positioning is not accurate at all. It is also difficult for Li Yu to locate it through the other party’s smart terminal.
There is nothing worth visiting in Lant Hub, and the supplies here are ridiculously expensive due to their scarcity.
After finding a random hotel, Li Yu began to wait for the Iron Fist Team's operation to end.
Most of the basic information about the Ancient Waterway can be found on the Black Hole Network.
But there are many unknown secrets that can only be found by asking local tyrants at this entry point.
Fortunately, Li Yu can now let the Iron Fist Team do such troublesome things without having to do it himself.
Since he had nothing to do, Li Yu opened the system [Log] and browsed the Star Wars journey of the second clone. He didn't get anything valuable in the past few days, most of them were just some sundries.
After taking a casual look, Li Yu turned off the system and rubbed the silver ring in his hand. The cool frosted touch felt extremely comfortable.
Golden runes poured into it, but soon scattered into the air, as if they could not be integrated into this material at all.
"What kind of material is this? Not only can it resist the devouring of the Titan Colonial Suit, but it can't even absorb the Fire Source Rune."
Li Yu thought to himself that this was his sixteenth attempt since he got this thing.
He even managed to enlighten the genetic optimization device, bypassing verification measures and forcing it to be used.
But the ring still refused to open its thighs, and its reluctant look made Li Yu grit his teeth.
"Meditation..." He muttered the name. The Meditation Institute is not on the same level as the Ark of Salvation and the Black Blood.
However, he is also relatively well-known in the interstellar world and is quite authoritative in the research of mental power.
He estimated that since he had obtained this thing, the other party would not give up and would come to him sooner or later. He just needed to wait quietly.
…
Stanley and Olena navigate the gang of villains, whose faces have been blurred to conceal their true purpose.
"The most well-informed local boss in this city is a guy named Anthony. We should be able to get detailed information about the ancient waterway from him..."
Stanley spoke in a low voice to Olena, and they were doing things very efficiently.
Anthony is the local boss of the Has Floating Island. His origins are very mysterious. It is said that he is a [Sisvian Snake Man], vicious and cunning.
The two turned the corner and saw the metal gate engraved with a two-headed snake pattern deep in the dirty alley.
There were two burly lizardmen guarding the door, sucking their scarlet tongues and looking around vigilantly.
As the two approached, the metal door suddenly opened inward.
A blood-soaked figure stumbled out, fell to the ground with a thud, and the pool of blood beneath him gradually widened.
Several figures gradually emerged from the iron gate, holding long-handled metal mechanical hammers, wearing black hooded robes, and dressed very strangely.
Apparently a fight had just taken place inside.
"Damned fangs, you dare to swallow the things of our Scavengers' Alliance, wait for death!" The man on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood foam and gritted his teeth.
"I hope you can understand that I bought it from you." A hoarse voice came from the iron gate.
Stanley and Olena looked at each other and had no intention of interfering.
The man on the ground struggled to stand up, but said nothing more and staggered away into the distance.
Stanley and Olena approached and were not asked to remove their weapons or anything like that.
Everyone here is a vicious criminal who lives on the edge of a knife. No matter where they go, they will never unload their weapons.
"Welcome to the Snake's Nest..." The hooded men on both sides revealed their eerie green pupils.
Stanley and the other man were naturally not afraid at all and walked straight in.
The two had no intention of causing trouble, they were simply trying to purchase intelligence, and with Star Coin paving the way, they naturally did not encounter any difficulties.
A large amount of secrets and information circulated among the old scavengers were recorded by the two.
Following Li Yu's instructions, the two of them checked everything carefully, no matter how big or small, and soon... three or four hours had passed.
Because the authenticity of a lot of information was unknown, the two also played a role in reviewing it to avoid misleading information in the information submitted to Li Yu.
The two were checking the news in a separate room. As big customers who paid tens of millions of star coins, they deserved this treatment.
However, a burst of urgent alarms made the two frown, and then... BOOM!!
A roar was heard, and a dazzling column of light from the explosion rose far away. The flames illuminated the night sky, which was extremely eye-catching.
The shock wave swept over like a hurricane from the ground, and the metal building made a distorted and harsh sound.
Flames rose in the night sky. Countless villains were stunned. They stopped and turned to look at the place where the explosion occurred.
Even though the Rand Hub was in chaos, attacks of this magnitude were extremely rare.
“Something is wrong!”
Stanley frowned.
…
Bang!
The metal bullet flashed with silver light, smashing the head of a Snake Nest defender and splattering blood all over the ground.
"Damn Snake Nest, they're forcing the sale on your grandfather, they're simply courting death!" The leader yelled, followed by many people in armor, but they were not standard armor and looked disorganized.
They fought each other, and the surrounding defense turrets and mechanical vehicles fired wildly at the enemy.
People were constantly being killed and annihilated, leaving not even a speck of dust.
"Carol, you are overestimating yourself..." In the shadows, the green vertical pupils stared at the guy who was running around on the battlefield.
Carol was invincible, charging left and right, turning the world upside down, and breaking through anything that stood in his way.
The other party is a B-level life form, and Anthony knows it very well.
Carol roared, and strange red lines appeared on his body. The blood on the ground seemed to evaporate, turning into large patches of blood mist that rushed into Carol's body.
This turned his skin blood red, and his aura suddenly increased by more than one level.
He comes from a remote and civilized native planet and possesses some special powers that allow him to strengthen himself with the power of blood.
After this strengthening, no one could stop him anymore, and all the enemies standing in his way were smashed to pieces.
Amidst the flying blood and flesh, Carol let out a hideous laugh, like a demon from hell.
Stanley and Olena carefully observed the situation in the dark and couldn't help cursing their bad luck.
The current situation is very clear. It is nothing more than a fight between two forces, and they are just implicated.
"Find a chance to leave here..." Stanley whispered. They did not get involved in this melee.
Olena nodded in understanding.
