Chapter 274: Energy Planet
The Bloodstone is located on an asteroid on the outer edge of the North River system.
This is a medium-sized resource planet. Although it is located on the outer edge of the North River system, it still belongs to the North River system and is rich in mineral resources. However, due to the continuous war over the past year and its location in a war zone, mining has been suspended.
As soon as Anuo stepped out of the spatial portal, he felt a chilling coldness.
This asteroid is so far from its star that it receives less than eight hours of sunlight a day, and even less during the winter.
It was dusk in their location, and the sun was gradually setting below the horizon, its orange-red light spreading across the undulating mining area, illuminating the exposed ore with an eerie glow.
Anno glanced around and saw that all he could see were mining areas, with towering mountains in the distance.
This planet probably has a special magnetic field and minerals. Some minerals float in mid-air, some as small as grains of sand, and some as large as a small hill.
The mining area is barren, with only ore, creating a unique and spectacular sight.
There was no grass or trees, no other creatures, and no sign of Dennis's henchmen.
She and Sitar searched the vicinity for the Bloodstone. In Brightman's memory, they saw the Bloodstone in this location, and even if there was a slight deviation, it wouldn't be too far off.
Anno realized that there was a fragment of his core in the Blood Gold Stone, so he used his core energy to sense it.
In an instant, she sensed the aura of the core fragment.
The moment she sensed the Dao, Sitar also sensed it simultaneously. The two exchanged a glance and then spread their wings to fly in the direction they sensed.
There were many floating rocks around them, which obstructed their view.
After flying forward for a while, Anno and the others landed on a large rock, because they couldn't get any further ahead.
There was a magnetic field that looked like an inverted pot, covering a section of the area in front of it.
The magnetic field caused a special silver ore to float around, outlining the area affected by the magnetic field and making the area visible to the naked eye.
The Bloodstone they wanted was located within this magnetic field.
Caesar opened a portal on the spot, wanting to see if he could go through it, but the portal disappeared in front of them after only one second.
This magnetic field even affected their special abilities.
Sitar stared at the magnetic field for a while, then flew to the outer edge of it and used his energy to cover the area. As a result, he was able to suppress the magnetic field somewhat, weakening its influence.
However, the energy generated by the minerals on this planet is clearly the opposite of the energy of their Zerg race.
The universe is so vast, there must be energy that specifically counters the Zerg, but it's relatively rare.
However, the energy of this planet is highly repulsive to their energy, like two magnets with opposite poles. Not all ores produce energy opposite to theirs, but at least 70% of the energy is repulsive to them.
“It’s not convenient to stay here for long,” Sitar said.
Anno also felt a little uneasy. Now she just wanted to get her core fragment as soon as possible and destroy this blood gold stone.
She also wanted to use her energy to tear a hole in the magnetic field in front of them together with Sitar, but Sitar stopped her.
"Anunu, your core energy is draining too quickly. You can't use any more energy. I'll take care of it."
Seeing that he had almost opened a gap in the magnetic field, and that his own original energy was indeed being lost, Anuo could only nod.
After waiting for two minutes, Sitar successfully used energy to tear a hole in the magnetic field.
Anno wanted to go in, but Caesar and Mingxiao beat her to it, "Your Highness, let us in!"
They were worried about potential dangers, so Sitar naturally let them do it. It was their duty, after all.
Sitar pulled Anno aside and watched as Caesar and Mingxiao entered the magnetic field.
As soon as the two entered, the feeling of energy repulsion became even clearer, almost to the point of becoming tangible.
Caesar had prepared some instruments beforehand. This Blood Gold Stone contained fragments of Anno's core, and it could not be destroyed easily, otherwise the core fragments would also be affected.
Caesar tapped the light brain on his wrist to make a note, and a nanocontainer expanded to include the blood gold stone, which was about half a meter in diameter.
After the Bloodstone was installed, the magnetic field automatically weakened, and Caesar and Mingxiao withdrew from the magnetic field.
Once they got their hands on the Bloodstone, they planned to return to the Zerg, find a way to extract the fragments from it, and then destroy the Bloodstone.
Just as Caesar was about to open the portal, he discovered that his abilities were suppressed, and the portal didn't even appear.
His face instantly darkened.
Anno felt a surge of energy pressing down on them like a tidal wave.
This energy, which was repelling them, was undoubtedly a huge obstacle for them. At this moment, Caesar and the others' abilities were suppressed, and they could only rely on their physical strength to withstand it.
However, Anno did not possess their superior physical abilities, nor did he have their robust outer armor.
When the energy surged towards her, she could only use the energy within her body to resist it. Sitar pulled her into his arms, held her close, and used his energy to create a defensive wall above her head.
The energy that repelled them was resisting the energy of Sitar.
This was the first time Anno had ever felt such powerful energy, and it was even repelling them. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became much heavier.
She turned her head to look at Sitar, who raised his hand without changing his expression, and energy flowed continuously from his hand. The energy overflowing from his core enveloped her, relieving some of the pressure on her body.
After defending for a while, Sitar made a clenched fist in the air, his expression turning stern, and crushed the energy that was surging towards them like a wave!
The pressure on them vanished instantly, but the energy that had been repelling them now filled their bodies like air.
Anno could feel that the energy in her core was draining away faster in this place, and her light band kept flashing red, warning her to leave this place quickly.
Anno looked down at his hands, which were already semi-transparent, a sign that they were about to transform into their original form.
Sitar took her in his arms and quickly flew her to another place.
Sparkle's flying ability was inferior to that of other Zerg branches. Knowing that this place was not safe to stay, Anno clung to Sitar's neck and let him carry him forward.
Sitar looked rather serious at this moment, unlike his usual calm demeanor.
Dennis placed the Bloodstone here, clearly to guard against them. The fact that Dennis hasn't appeared yet means either he hasn't realized what's happening, or the entire planet is a trap he's set.
They must find a place where the energy repulsion between them is minimal, so that Caesar can open the portal.
Caesar and the others stood guard around them, watching their surroundings warily.
Gradually, they could still discern from this energy that was repelling them that it was not only targeting the Zerg, but also most life forms in space.
This is why, even though there was no one guarding the Blood Gold Stone, that energy wave just now was able to crush a normal-sized Northern River Starman.
However, they saw traces of some instruments nearby.
Anno was held in Sitar's arms, and her vision began to blur, with images overlapping and intertwining.
She shook her head; the image before her eyes cleared for a moment, then became blurry again.
Sitar noticed Anno's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong, Anunu?"
Anuo rubbed her eyes and said, "Well, I feel a little sleepy..."
Her voice also sounded a little tired.
Sitar's eyes darkened slightly. This was because too much core energy had been lost. He looked down and saw that the antennae on Anunu's forehead had sprouted and were drooping limply.
Some parts of her body became translucent, which was her body's defense mechanism, trying to put her into a deep sleep to reduce energy consumption.
But her current situation is not a matter of depletion at all. She is missing one-fifth of her core, which is already a very serious loss. Even if she lost one-tenth, it would still have a very serious impact on her core.
The large hole in her core was like a leak in the bottom of a bucket, with water gushing out.
We must patch up this hole in the core.
Sitar hugged Anno tighter and said softly, "If you're sleepy, just go to sleep. Don't worry, I'm here."
How could Anno feel at ease in this dangerous place? She fought off her sleepiness and rested her head on Sitar's shoulder. "It's okay, I can handle it."
She was just a little sleepy, but she could still stay awake.
The feeling of energy draining from her body grew stronger, and an indescribable sense of irritability and powerlessness welled up inside her.
Suddenly, Sitar and his group stopped.
She looked up and asked, "What's wrong...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she sensed a familiar presence.
She frowned and looked ahead.
At this point, her concentration was waning, and the scene before her was becoming somewhat blurry. However, she could still make out Brightman and Dennis standing at the very front of the large group of people in front of her through the blurry image.
Sitar called Mingxiao to his side and handed Anno over to him.
Although Mingxiao's abilities were suppressed, he was still the fastest among the four, which made it easier for him to help Anunu evade danger.
Mingxiao carefully held Anunu in her arms and stepped back a little.
Sitar, Caesar, and Tanvel all transformed into their original forms; at this moment, they only wanted to finish the battle quickly.
The people Brightman and his team brought were also wearing nanotech armor to defend against the planet's energy.
Now, no one can use superpowers; it's all about real strength.
Knowing that he was not in a good state to fight alongside them, Anno could only carefully instruct them in his mind network. The next moment, the three of them turned into afterimages, and their hands transformed into sharp claws that could cut ore in half, slicing towards Brightman and the others!
