Chapter 332: Millennium Falcon and Peeping into the Future
In the ancient waterway, somewhere on a broken meteorite belt, a large number of soldiers formed a protective circle around it, and air bubbles and temporary gravity devices were deployed.
Das turned off the signal booster and looked a little strange.
"Where has the support reached? Nothing will go wrong, right?" Soli came over and asked nervously.
"The support is almost here, nothing went wrong." Das shook his head, which made Soli feel relieved.
What he feared most was that some inexplicable problems would arise with the support, leaving the two of them alone.
Then he asked again: "If it's not a support issue, why are you making such a bitter face?"
Das glanced at him speechlessly and explained, "I got the news that Li Yu did not take the Iron Fist Team back to report on his work. Instead, he appeared in the Tabli Star System and caused a lot of trouble in the Tabli Star System."
"Helped the Transformer team escape from the Taburi system with the genetic optimization device."
“???” Soli’s expression also became indescribable, and then he asked in confusion: “Is he crazy for helping the Reformers escape?”
"He is not only not crazy, but also very smart." Solly explained: "It was just a small team of reformers. It won't attract much attention."
"But if Li Yu's identity is exposed, it will be completely different. Most of the attention of the entire Amethyst Civilization will be focused on him."
Soli narrowed his eyes slightly, and the young man with a bright smile seemed to appear in front of him: "Now he is hiding behind the scenes, sitting on the Diaoyutai. I can now be sure that the gene optimization device must have been obtained by him."
After listening to Das's explanation, Soli suddenly understood and snorted coldly, "How cunning."
Das laughed twice with inexplicable meaning. In his eyes, cunning has never been a derogatory word.
Soli believed that Li Yu looked down on him, so he was very upset with Li Yu. Das did not continue to delve into this topic, but instead said:
"However, the Iron Fist Team and Li Yuben lost their whereabouts after leaving the Taburi Star System. The headquarters sent inquiries many times but to no avail."
"If he's lost, then he's lost. We won't be blamed for it later." Soli said nonchalantly, "It's impossible for him to appear in the Ancient Channel to steal the Titan's Heart, right?"
“Haha…” Das laughed, “Although he is a good individual, the forces involved in the Ancient Heart are now far beyond our original expectations.”
"Even if he came here, it wouldn't be of any use. Besides, he didn't have any information about the Heart of the Titan, so how could he come to the Ancient Channel?"
"He may be researching genetic devices in some corner right now."
Soli sneered: "The school-level armor has strict multiple key verification to prevent it from falling into the enemy's combat power."
"How could such cutting-edge technology as the genetic optimization device not have multiple keys? That thing is like a brick in his hands."
"This is none of our business. If the gene optimization device is really in his hands, he won't be able to keep it in the end." Das brought the topic back: "Now our mission is to continue tracking the Titan's Heart."
Soli nodded, and then ordered his men to pack up and leave the meteorite belt.
…
On the other side, the scavenger spaceship had just left the Lant Hub. The driver was Anthony. Carol was only there to lead the way to prevent this reckless man from acting impulsively and taking everyone into some dangerous place.
The Ancient Channel looks no different from an ordinary star field, except that there are a few more meteorite belts and a few more withered planets.
The only proof that they had arrived at the ancient waterway was the obviously chaotic magnetic field displayed on the driving screen.
In the cab, there is a precision instrument with shabby exterior and out of place style, and it is rectangular in shape.
A black and purple stone is suspended in the transparent glass cover in the center. It is a specialty of the ancient waterway and is also known as the compass stone.
It has an extraordinary radio wave response to various large-scale disasters, and through instrumental methods, it can detect various disasters from ultra-long distances.
However, it is not omnipotent, and it cannot predict some disasters in ancient waterways.
When sailing in the Ancient Seaways, experience plays a large role.
Li Yu listened to the conversation between Soli and Das coming from their smart terminals, and couldn't help laughing, and shook his head.
I hope that when they learn the truth, they can still maintain this optimistic attitude.
"There is no disaster interference nearby, so we can enter the jump orbit..." Although Anthony is the snakehead of the Lant Hub, he does not need to go to the ancient waterway frequently.
But having stayed at the entrance of the ancient waterway for so many years, he was not there to do nothing. There was no problem in piloting the spacecraft in the ancient waterway.
However, less than half an hour into the warp track, the ancient waterway compass sounded a sharp alarm.
"Disaster detected, please leave the jump state as soon as possible..."
"Disaster detected, please leave the jump state as soon as possible..."
Anthony's face changed and he hurriedly controlled the scavenger spaceship to exit the jump state. Through the porthole, he could clearly see a large red fog rolling in the distance.
There was a dazzling red light flashing in it, as if some terrifying creature was swarming in, swallowing up a large area of the meteorite belt and even several small planets.
Although it seems not far away from them, in fact the distance between the universe cannot be observed with the naked eye.
"Pyroblast - high-temperature misty gas, the core temperature can reach up to 30 million degrees, comparable to the core of some stars."
Anthony explained considerately, and Li Yu nodded to show that he understood. This was one of the common disasters in the ancient waterway.
The danger of conventional disasters is not high. As long as you don't rush into the core area to commit suicide, it will be fine if you jump back and forth in the edge area.
Carefully bypass this area and enter the jump state again in a safe area.
This time, he still couldn't stay in the transition state for too long before he encountered disaster again.
This was a very normal situation when sailing in the ancient waterway, and this cycle was repeated over the next few days.
About eight days later, in the scavenger spaceship, Li Yu was looking through the system log . The other two clones who were on the mission had not responded yet, as if they were dead.
No, if the clone dies, it will be recycled. Now I don’t know what they are doing.
"MD, you are not enjoying yourself, are you... When will you develop a main body deployment function so that I can act arrogantly and domineeringly?" Li Yu muttered while scanning the log of clone No. 2.
Then his brows slightly raised, obviously seeing a good reward.
[Obtain special item - Millennium Falcon: As fast as a bat falcon and durable for a thousand years, as a legendary spaceship, it seems to have some magical qualities.
The spacecraft uses the Force as its energy source and also gains eternal existence in the Force. 】
The magical Millennium Falcon. Li Yu didn’t know how magical this spaceship was, but as a product of the system, it had an important characteristic, which was that it could be placed in the system.
[Gained the Force trait - Peeping into the future: The Force can glimpse one of the infinite future possibilities.
However, this property is not controllable. 】
[Special talent [Navigator] detected. Do you want to merge the two to obtain a new talent?
Note: After fusion, both will disappear. 】
Looking at this unprecedented new tip, Li Yu rubbed his chin.
Could it be that they can be integrated because both involve the mysterious rules of time and space?
The navigator was quite useful, but... who could refuse a bet on fusion? He didn't believe that these two things could be fused into something rubbish.
Li Yu confirmed it immediately, and then there seemed to be a drastic change in his mind, and his mental power surged, but no one noticed.
Only Hun Zhentian noticed something was wrong and looked at Li Yu in confusion.
[Obtain special talent - Future Navigation: Using the Force as energy, you can briefly view the target's future.
Note: The future is constantly changing and cannot be determined. 】
Tsk tsk, luckily these few days were not wasted. Seeing these rewards, he was in a good mood, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Anthony became much softer.
He was thinking about whether or not to try out this new talent in person, but the sudden sound of an alarm interrupted his thoughts.
"Disaster detected, please leave the jump state as soon as possible..."
“…”
The alarm sounded again. Stanley and others had become accustomed to it. They had heard too many alarms in recent days.
But this time it was obviously different. When they came out of the jump state, they were faced with a thick energy cannon.
Fortunately, the energy barrier of the scavenger spaceship was always activated, and they only felt a slight shake.
"Enemy attack!" Anthony's face changed slightly. He quickly scanned the nearby scene through the detector and projected it on the screen.
However, the surroundings were pitch black, or to be more precise, purple-black. The entire spacecraft was enveloped in purple-black fog.
The occasional flash of light was probably an energy cannon shot from somewhere unknown.
There were too many disasters, both large and small, in the ancient waterways, and it was impossible to determine what disaster it was just by looking at its color.
Li Yu frowned. This was the first time he broke out of the transition state and fell directly into the disaster. He was too unlucky.
He concentrated his attention; the Ancient Waterway was not a place where he could come and go as he pleased.
If something dangerous really happens and you are caught in some major disaster, there is a high possibility that you will die on the spot.
Carol frowned. This scavenger ship was his hard work. Every attack it suffered felt like a stab in his heart.
"There is a radio channel in this area, but the signal is very unstable." Anthony frowned.
"Contact the other party quickly and ask them to stop attacking." Carol urged.
"Zila... Zila..." There were vague noises coming from the channel. It was because the spaceship that sent out the broadcast channel should not be far away from them, otherwise they would not be able to search for even the vague signal.
"This is the Scavengers' Union... This is the Scavengers' Union..." Anthony used the name of the Scavengers' Union and tried to communicate over and over again on the radio channel.
Carol glanced at him and cursed at him again.
"…The Scavengers' Alliance? Carol?"
The signal finally stabilized a little, and the other party's voice came from the channel, a very attractive female voice.
Carol seemed to know who the other person was when she heard that, and asked tentatively, "Iris?"
"It's her..." Anthony said slightly surprised when he heard Carol's words.
"Carol!" Iris' voice became a little higher, and she seemed very excited.
“Carol, now only if we join forces can we… sizzle… fight our way out!”
Carol glanced at the mechanical mask that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and seemed to be crying but not crying, and asked hesitantly, "Iris, what kind of disaster is this?"
Iris did not hide anything and said directly: "This is the Star Whale."
"It's actually a star whale? " Carol's voice rose several degrees.
The star whale is a cosmic creature born in the ancient waterway and also a disaster of the ancient waterway.
Star whales roam in ancient waterways all year round, using special organs in their bodies to emit electromagnetic waves of a certain specific channel.
Used to search for other star whales, but they cannot jump and fly, so they often have to fly alone for many years.
The body of the star whale is a very rare material. The whale core in its body plays a great role in the development of gene chains and can greatly enhance the vitality of organisms. It is one of the most valuable specialties in the ancient waterways.
However, even the most common disasters in the ancient waterways are not something that ordinary life forms can cope with.
The strength of the Star Whale continues to increase with age. In its later years, the size of the Star Whale is comparable to that of an ordinary life planet, and the combat power it bursts out is also extremely terrifying.
"What age is this star whale?" Anthony questioned.
"This voice seems a little familiar..." Iris was a little confused. Anthony's voice was very recognizable. Iris remembered it the next moment:
"It's that old snake, Carol. You have a grudge against this snake, so how did you get mixed up with each other?"
Carol's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Don't worry about it for now. What exactly is going on with this star whale?"
"Judging from the body shape, he should be between youth and adulthood, not old age." Iris responded quickly. She also had her own plan:
"We can simulate the electromagnetic fluctuations of the star whale to lure it away, but one of us needs to give up our spaceship as bait."
"This..." Carol and Anthony hesitated, and then looked at Li Yu at the same time. They were not the decision makers here.
"What are you hesitating about... sizzle... sizzle..."
Iris said hurriedly: "Don't just stand there, it's out!"
As soon as the words fell, the purple-black mist around the scavenger spaceship began to boil, creating a tsunami-like wave.
boom!
The fog rolled over, and a strange creature emerged from the fog and crashed straight into the scavenger spaceship.
"What...is this?" Olena's eyes widened.
The star whale in front of us has a strange appearance, a slender blue-purple body, and is thousands of kilometers long.
There is no shell or hair on the body, it is smooth and the skin has a translucent texture.
There was a hazy light under the skin, it had no limbs, was narrow at the front and back and wide in the middle, and extended on both sides like fins.
The head has no facial features such as mouth, eyes, and nose, only two long tentacles, which are also crystal clear.
The starry sky whale circled around the scavenger spaceship, just like a fish swimming flexibly in the water, its tentacles shook, and then it suddenly rushed over in the horrified eyes of everyone.
"Oh no...it's coming!" Carol exclaimed.
Boom!
There was a violent roar inside the scavenger
The scavenger spaceship was as fragile as an ant in front of the star whale. It could not withstand a single blow. Its shell shattered directly, and a large amount of debris flew out.
Anthony's snake pupils shrank, unprecedented fear struck his heart, death was imminent!
In the purple mist, another spaceship was quietly suspended here.
Iris put her hands on the podium, her slender long legs exposed, her eyes sharp as she stared at the command screen.
"...Oh no...it's coming!"
These few words came from the fuzzy radio channel, and then there was no sound.
Iris's eyes flashed, and she made a prompt decision: "Start the thrusters at full speed. Since someone is unlucky enough to become a target, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Carol, I will remember your life-saving grace!"
