Chapter 496: Opportunities and Dangers Coexist
Crimson vortex, the red world on the edge, fog everywhere. ^
Three warships advanced in the red fog, and from time to time various detection waves were emitted from the warships and spread to the surroundings.
"Father, I think we should be more cautious." In the main warship, Xuan Yiwang stood in front of the ship and said to Xuan Chifeng who was standing with his hands behind his back without worry.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger." Xuan Chifeng said slowly. "Although the secret of the crimson giant has not been revealed, after the Li Yunhe incident, everyone has discovered that the crimson vortex has changed. Star Lord-level strongmen can finally enter here. Do you think others can't be tempted? If we don't complete the exploration before others, I'm afraid we can only eat the leftovers of others."
"But the first adventurer will also bear the greatest danger." Xuan Yiwang said, "The crimson vortex is so big, if there are any amazing treasures, it is impossible to exist only in one point, it should be everywhere..." [
"There won't be many truly valuable treasures." Before he finished speaking, Xuan Chifeng interrupted him. "For the Star Spirit, something like the White Tiger Claw is already a great treasure. But for the Star Master, it is not worth mentioning at all. Because it cannot change with the increase of the master's power, it is just a dead thing."
"But taking risks for a treasure that I don't know whether it exists or not, I always feel..." Xuan Yiwang said.
"It is impossible that there is no real treasure." Xuan Chifeng's eyes were a little fanatical. "Look at Shen Zheng! If it weren't for the great adventure here, he would never have achieved his current achievements. Remember, when he participated in the martial arts competition, he never had the power he has now."
"Opportunities and dangers are proportional." Xuan Yiwang knew that he could not persuade his father, so he could only look at the deep red world in front of him and sigh.
"So, opportunities will not be obtained for nothing. Only those who dare to take risks can be favored by the God of Destiny." Xuan Chifeng said.
Xuan Yiwang just felt uneasy.
The warship went forward, and some tombs of strong men could be found from time to time. Xuan Chifeng seemed to be blind to these things, staring at the deeper part of the crimson vortex, and just casually gave an order to send out the star spirits from the other two warships to smash the tombs of those strong men and search for treasures left by the strong men inside.
Soon after, the three warships entered the middle layer of the crimson vortex, and Xuan Chifeng's eyes became more fanatical.
What kind of secret treasures would be waiting for me to discover here?
His mind was full of various fantasies, and he even dreamed of having an adventure like Shen Zheng and reaching the peak of power.
Soon after, some insect corpses came into his sight. These insects were obviously dead not long ago, but they all died very tragically, and their bodies were broken into several pieces.
"Scan the insect core!" Xuan Chifeng immediately issued an order, and the operators of the warships immediately became busy nervously, and soon found the signals of hundreds of insect cores. ^
A dozen star spirits flew out of the warships, and dozens of small spacecraft came to the insect corpses to collect insect cores. Soon, these people completed the collection and returned to the warship to report to Xuan Chifeng.
"Are they all Protoss-level insect cores?" Xuan Chifeng couldn't help but frown after hearing the report.
"We found the bodies of Star Lord-level Zerg, about a dozen." The leading Protoss reported, "We also collected these bodies, but... but there are no insect cores in these bodies. The insect cores were taken away when they were killed."
"We are still a step late." Xuan Chifeng looked at Xuan Yiwang, "Someone came here to search for treasure earlier than us. Obviously, these insects were killed by him."
"The middle layer is indeed a forbidden area for Protoss." Xuan Yiwang sighed. "There are such terrifying insect swarms. Any Protoss who encounters them will be torn to pieces in an instant..."
What he sighed about was obviously different from what Xuan Chifeng sighed about.
"We have to speed up." Xuan Chifeng looked ahead, "Destiny is unpredictable. I didn't expect that we deliberately avoided the entrance to the extreme training, but we still happened to choose the same road as others. Now it depends on both of us, who is more favored by the god of destiny." [
The warship did not collect the insect cores in the insect corpses farther away, although it had scanned that there were still a large number of insect cores in those insect corpses. Xuan Chifeng felt that he should race against time and not waste time on these valuable but not treasured things.
"Speed up." He gave an order. "Go deeper!"
The three warships accelerated at the same time, and the star spirits controlling the warships input their greatest power. The only meaning of their existence on these warships is to become manipulators and control power sources. They are noble in the world of the strong, but here they are just advanced technicians.
This world is strictly hierarchical, and there are stronger ones above the strong. The difference between different realms is like heaven and earth. In front of the star master, the star spirit is nothing.
Similarly, in front of the peak star master, ordinary star masters are nothing.
Therefore, no one does not desire to become stronger. Although there are still levels as heavy as mountains and seas that cannot be turned over and as vast and insurmountable as seas, no one is willing to stop on the road to becoming stronger.
At least, you have to be the strongest among the same level and become a strong person that people at this level can look down upon.
Just like these star spirits who control the warships, if they had not reached the peak of the star spirit realm, they would not be qualified to be Xuan Chifeng's direct subordinates.
They would not be qualified to participate in the actions of the star master level, and then gain experience and experience far beyond their peers, as well as huge benefits.
But it is not all benefits, as Xuan Yiwang said, opportunities and dangers are proportional.
Shortly after the fleet entered the deeper middle layer of the crimson vortex, the insect sound detector on the warship suddenly rang. Xuan Chifeng's face changed, because at the same time, he also sensed the breath of the powerful Zerg. The insect sound detector actually worked at the same time as his induction, which could only mean that these insects suddenly came out of the hyperspace.
But Xuan Chifeng knew that this should be impossible.
All the records in history said that the space movement power could not be used in the crimson vortex, and he had tried it in the previous journey, and found that in this crimson world, the space movement ability of the star master was completely useless. There is a powerful force in the surrounding crimson world, oppressing the surrounding space, and hyperspace cannot exist under such huge pressure.
How could these bugs do this?
"Enter combat mode immediately!" He ordered loudly, running towards the door of the control room.
"Yiwang, guard the warship and issue orders for me!" He did not forget to remind his son when he left.
He ran all the way and came to the side door of the warship in a blink of an eye. He opened the sealed cabin and entered it, then went out through the outer door and came to the vast red fog. Xuan Chifeng looked into the distance and saw a dark cloud.
He sensed the power of the cloud and his face changed instantly, because he discovered the existence of the power of the star master. Although he could not clearly sense how many powerful bugs there were, even if there was only one, with the overwhelming swarm of bugs, he, a fourth-level star master, could do his best to stop it.
Judging from the number, there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 bugs in the cloud of bugs.
"Retreat, retreat with all your strength, and leave here!" He suddenly roared, and his fear and roar were transmitted to Xuan Yiwang's ears through the network eye on his chest.
"Father, what's wrong?" Xuan Yiwang realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought.
"The swarm is too strong!" Xuan Chifeng gritted his teeth and said, "We are definitely not opponents! You lead the team to retreat quickly, and I will cover the rear!" [
"Father, I'll help you!" Xuan Yiwang shouted anxiously.
"Don't be silly!" Xuan Chifeng frowned and said, "We can't both be trapped here! Besides, although this swarm is a threat to me, if I want to escape, they can't do anything to me. You leave now!"
"Okay." Reason overcame emotion in an instant. Xuan Yiwang knew that there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the three giant warships, and he was responsible for their lives.
"All warships, turn around immediately and retreat to the outer layer with all your strength! Long-range space cannons are ready, and fire at the direction of the swarm with all your strength!"
As the order was issued, the three giant ships slowly turned back almost at the same time, and the offensive weapons on the warships opened fire at full power, firing dense rain at the swarm in the distance. The light of the flame rose in this deep red space, like a gorgeous rain, bringing the blessing of the god of death.
After a while, the rain blossomed all over the insect swarm, and the huge explosion echoed in the deep red vortex.
Several powerful insects were directly blown into pieces, but compared with this huge insect cloud, that little loss can be completely ignored. And all those who were killed were not low-level insects in the star spirit level. Those with slightly higher levels had completely calculated the trajectory of the rain, using insect power to protect themselves while dodging quickly.
And those powerful insects at the star master level released their own power to form a protective field, not only protecting themselves, but also protecting the huge number of insects around them.
The rain did play a role in hurting the enemy, but the effect was weak. The insect swarm was angered by this small harassment attack, and the giant insects roared loudly, and the roars gathered into a river, rushing over, and those who heard it were scared.
"Retreat with all your strength, retreat with all your strength!" Xuan Yiwang shouted.
"Come on, little bugs!" Xuan Chifeng gritted his teeth and looked at the approaching swarm of bugs. The wheel of the Holy Spirit behind him slowly emerged, and the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise Holy Spirits emitted light. Two Holy Spirit killing moves took shape and attacked the swarm of bugs first.
The Azure Dragon Holy Spirit led the green light and instantly broke the protective force field of a star master-level bug, killing all the way into the swarm of bugs. With its claws and teeth moving together, the bugs were torn apart without any resistance.
The Black Tortoise Holy Spirit was surging with black tides around it, infiltrating into the protective force field, instantly disintegrating the force field, and under the impact of its huge body, the star master-level bug that radiated the protective force field became a dead body with just one blow.
They exerted their powerful strength and flew freely in the swarm of bugs, leaving only a few dead bodies wherever they passed.
But, too many rats bite the cat.
The bugs rushed over fearlessly and finally surrounded them. After paying a huge price, the Zerg finally won.
The lives of hundreds of powerful insects were exchanged for the exhaustion of the power of the two holy spirit killing moves. Under the attack of more insects, the two holy spirit killing moves exploded. Although dozens of insects were killed, it was not a big loss for the insect swarm.
"Come on!" Xuan Chifeng roared, and suddenly opened a huge spherical space, which was completely composed of black tides, locking him and the insects in it. In the surging black tide, the power of water penetrated into the bodies of the insects, and the cold power made it difficult for them to move.
But...
A few minutes later, the space finally shattered, and Xuan Chifeng flew out with blood all over his body, rushing towards the battleship formation that had already fled to the distance.
Behind him, the huge swarm of insects chased him step by step.
In a blink of an eye, Xuan Chifeng had caught up with the fleet, and the group of insects was extremely close to the fleet. At this time, the fleet had reached the outer layer of the crimson vortex, but the swarm still showed no intention of stopping, so the fleet had to move to the outer layer...
The swarm still did not fall behind!
Xuan Chifeng suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart.
But at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.
