Chapter 117
At night, the city of Xingguang, with its entirely glass buildings and the glow of the Xingguang people themselves, creates a dazzling display of multicolored lights, a truly breathtaking spectacle. Yet beneath this beautiful light, a ghostly glint lingers.
Wu Jian had never seen such a light before. It glowed on its own without relying on any energy or machinery.
If he didn't have a mission, he really wanted to kidnap a Xingguang person and make him a walking light bulb, lighting up wherever he went.
Wu Jian's idea was just a flash of thought in his mind. If he kidnapped Xingguang people, he would probably be caught before he even left the city. It would be better to have a try first.
However, what caught Wu Jian's eye was still the luxurious palace.
It is built on the hillside, suspended in the air with only a few transparent glass pillars supporting it. In the middle of the pillars are installed portals for lifting up and down. At night, you can see many people being sent up to the palace in the elevator.
Wu Jian muttered to himself when he saw it through the telescope.
"I didn't expect the telescope I stole from Admiral Lu to be so useful. This Saint is quite courageous. The elevator isn't even obstructed by anything, but is clearly visible. Isn't he afraid that one day, his face will appear in the elevator and someone will shoot him?"
Lance Heno sat next to Wu Jian and said simply, "No."
Wu Jian put down the telescope and raised an eyebrow. "Why not? The elevator in the temple looks very fragile. I guess it will be destroyed by one shot, right?"
"The Holy Son Palace is built with stones that are a specialty of the Xingguang civilization. It may appear fragile, but it's actually indestructible. Even a laser cannon might not be able to destroy it for a while."
Wu Jian was shocked. "Is it that powerful? Then do they sell Xingguang Stone?"
Lance Heno shook his head. "The Xingguang Stone is the sacred stone of the Xingguang Civilization and is only used by the Xingguang Temple."
Wu Jian touched his chin and asked, "Then I'll offer a high price?"
"We won't sell it. The Xingguang people are stubborn and loyal to the Temple. They won't sell Xingguang Stone. Otherwise, we wouldn't be invaded by pirates every year. Besides, Xingguang City is 100% defensive. As long as the Xingguang people don't commit suicide, outsiders can't break in."
Wu Jian had followed Lance Heno for such a long time that he understood what he meant and showed a hint of curiosity. What kind of terrible death had he committed to have his clan exterminated?
"Brother He, are you saying that they wouldn't be exterminated because of internal strife?"
Lance Henodi said, "I don't know."
Wu Jian was even more curious. If such a high defense could defend against pirates, why would the tribe be wiped out? Could it be that internal strife led to the annihilation?
Tribe?
He didn't feel anything was wrong when he was talking to Kramdo.
This means that the internal strife is not caused by civilians, but is more likely due to the body of the Son of God.
"Brother He, how did the Holy Son come here?"
Lance Heno glanced at Wu Jian approvingly, "Finally, you got to the point."
"How do you say that?"
"The Xingguang clan usually chooses their own holy son from among the people, and the outstanding one becomes the successor."
"His choice is fair, but also unfair." Wu Jian added, "Although on the surface the outstanding person will be the next successor, what should be done if the outstanding person is too outstanding?"
"The number of Xingguang people decreases every year, and the number of strong ones becomes even smaller and smaller."
Wu Jian's eyes lit up, he seemed to have found the reason for the genocide.
"Rest first and see what happens tomorrow."
Wu Jian did not touch the food on the table. He ate some snacks he brought with him and spread his own quilt on the bed.
It is still unclear whether there are humans or ghosts in Xingguang City, so it is best not to eat the food they give.
It was snowing heavily outside, but it was warm inside.
Wu Jian slept next to Lance Heno, and behind him was the golden giant beast.
Lance Heno did not rest, and looked at the city outside through the transparent glass with the golden beast.
If Wu Jian were awake now, he would look up and see that all the lights in Xingguang City had turned into a faint orchid color, floating in the house, in almost every room except theirs.
The orchid light slowly approached Lance Heno's position. When it was about to pass through the glass, the golden beast in the room emitted a golden light and roared.
The orchid-colored light disappeared in a few whooshes.
The room returned to normal.
Because Lance Heno was next to him, Wu Jian could sleep without any worries. He turned over without knowing what had just happened, and his hands and feet were even more casually placed on Lance Heno's body.
Lance Heno didn't push him away and let the child hold him like an octopus.
The darkness dissipated and day broke outside.
Maybe because the room was completely transparent, Wu Jian woke up an hour earlier than usual.
He opened his eyes and found that his hands and feet were all on Lance Heno's body. He occupied a very wide space, while Lance Heno only had a small space, and half of his body was occupied by him.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, Wu Jian was too embarrassed to take his hands and feet off Lance Heno's body and rolled over on his own.
Roll inside and cover your head with the quilt.
From the moment Wu Jian opened his eyes, Lance Heno had already woken up. He didn't open his eyes just now because he was worried that the child would die.
However, judging by the child's actions, it seems that it doesn't matter whether he is dead or not.
"Get up when you wake up. You'll be busy today."
"I, I'll be up in a minute."
Wu Jian's voice came muffled through the quilt.
Lance Heno patted the quilt in amusement and said nothing more.
Wu Jian heard the rustling of clothes outside and the sound of Lance Heno entering the bathroom and closing the door through the quilt, and then he stuck a furry head out from under the quilt.
As soon as he came out, he met a pair of golden beast eyes.
Wu Jian:!
"Xiao Jinjin, you scared me."
The golden beast licked Wu Jian's cheek.
Wu Jian pushed away the clinging golden beast, put on his clothes and jumped off the bed.
A cold wind blew in from the open window, making Wu Jian's arms covered with goose bumps.
“It’s so cold!”
Wu Jian put on the wizard robe, and the biting cold disappeared.
Lance Heno also took care of himself.
As the two were discussing where to start investigating, there was a knock on the door and the discussion came to an abrupt end.
"Are you two awake? Breakfast is ready. Do you need it brought in?"
Lance Heno grabbed Wu Jian and opened the door.
A Xingguang man pushed in a table full of sumptuous breakfast.
Wu Jian also saw the entire appearance of the Xingguang man. His entire body was transparent, with only the color and body shape being different.
The Xingguang man in front of him was not very old, with a green halo on his body, and looked very normal. But Wu Jian felt that as soon as he came in, his eyes were locked on himself and Brother He, and he did not seem like an ordinary waiter.
"Thanks."
Out of politeness, Wu Jian thanked him.
When the young man looked at Wu Jian, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Is that gaze looking at his dragon horns or his silver hair?
The young man seemed to feel that his gaze was too obvious, so after putting the food away, he walked out.
"Brother He?"
Lance Heno put his finger on his thin lips, signaling Wu Jian not to speak.
He threw the Rubik's Cube in his hand and a soundproof barrier opened.
"Is anyone eavesdropping?" Wu Jian asked doubtfully.
Lance.
Heno nodded.
"Wait a minute, then go out."
"Brother He, we didn't provoke them, why are they monitoring us? Could it be that they really have something to hide?"
Lance Heno said, "That person just now was a little strange."
"Why is it strange?"
“Not quite human.”
Wu Jian:!
A chill ran from the back directly to the top of the head.
Wu Jian forced a smile and said, "Brother He, you must be kidding. How come they are not human?"
After Lance Heno told Wu Jian what happened last night, he felt a chill on his back.
If it's not a human, then it's a ghost?
Wu Jian felt uncomfortable all over when he thought about himself being in a strange den.
Even though the food on the table smelled delicious, Wu Jian didn't touch it.
After a while, Lance Heno removed the barrier and took Wu Jian downstairs.
On the first floor below, there were many vendors from other civilizations talking, and many people were coming and going.
After Lance Heno's reminder, Wu Jian felt something was wrong with everyone he looked at, and he always felt that those people were also looking at him.
Lance Heno is better than Wu Jian, and with his aura, most people don't dare to rush up to him directly.
The two of them came out of the hotel smoothly.
The streets of District 3 are very busy. In addition to the Xingguang people, there are also many other civilized faces.
After walking out of the hotel, the two put on wizard hoods to cover up their overly obvious appearance and hide in the crowd. After a few minutes, the tails behind them were shaken off.
Wu Jian hid in the corner and found that no one was catching up with him, so he followed Lance Heno out of Area 3.
Lance Heno had also been here before, and he was very familiar with the densely packed streets, which made Wu Jian dizzy.
"Brother He, where are you taking me?"
"temple."
When Wu Jian heard the word "temple", his dizzy head immediately cleared up.
"Then why are we still going around? Let's go."
"Leave? You want to go straight there?"
Wu Jian was confused, "What else?"
"We're being watched, which means the temple entrance is no different. We can't go that way."
"Brother He, have you found a way to enter the temple?"
He Nuo nodded.
There is a way. He doesn't need to think about it. He just needs to follow Brother He.
The cliff behind the temple.
On the cliff, two black spots are moving upwards.
Looking down from here, it's all white and I don't know how deep it is below.
Wu Jian was about to jump onto the cliff with ease, but he noticed patrolling guards on the cliff, so he had to retract his head again.
"Brother He, there's someone."
Lance Heno nodded to indicate that he understood.
Under Wu Jian's gaze, the patrolling guards were knocked down.
"Come up."
Wu Jian came up easily and saw a group of people lying on the ground. He gave Lance Heno a thumbs up.
The temple is even more magnificent than Xingguang City, and it exudes a sense of showiness amidst its glitter.
Walking in the glowing corridor, Wu Jian couldn't help but pick something with his hand, and a green gem appeared in his palm.
Wu Jian: "...Brother He, this is not my fault. I didn't use much effort, and the gem came down. It must be a shoddy construction. Find this engineer and file a complaint."
That being said, the gems still need to be collected.
Wu Jian threw the gem into the space and behaved very obediently under Lance Heno's gaze.
Lance Heno said, "Xingguang Gem."
When Wu Jian heard this, he almost grabbed the pillar with his hands.
A corridor is almost a hundred meters long. How many gems are needed to build it?
Wu Jian drooled at the pillar and wondered how to get all the gems off it.
"Let's get down to business first."
"oh."
Wu Jian reluctantly let go of the pillar.
The temple was very quiet, and apart from the people who had been patrolling before, the two did not encounter any other Xingguang people.
At this time, the two had arrived at the main entrance of the temple, and the temple was empty.
Wu Jian asked doubtfully, "Brother He, there's no one here?"
Lance Heno hummed.
The golden giant beast appeared from nowhere and swung its tail.
"There is indeed no one in the temple. The spirit beast found something in the back hall, let's go take a look."
Wu Jian rubbed the golden beast's fur and, led by the golden beast, came to the back hall.
When Wu Jian saw what was in the back hall, he was stunned.
"Brother He, what is this thing?"
There was a large block of ice in front of me, and it was foggy inside, like frozen white flesh squeezed together, which was a bit disgusting.
Lance Heno was silent for a moment and said, "Xingguang people."
Wu Jian
A look of disbelief.
"Is there a Starlight Man inside this lump of ice?"
Lance Heno pointed to a corner below where there were terrified faces on a block of transparent ice.
Wu Jian was silent.
So the lump of ice in front of them was formed by many Xingguang people squeezing together?
"With such a large monster, how many people would have died?" Wu Jian asked doubtfully, "That's not right. Isn't Kramdo, who led us here, also from Xingguang?"
"no."
"Um, Brother He, did you realize something was wrong the first time you saw Kramdo?"
Lance Heno said, "I wasn't sure at first, but I knew from the lights at night. Those people from Kramdo were just hallucinations."
Wu Jian circled the giant ice block and spoke to Lance Heno, "What was that light last night? Are the people in Xingguang City still human?"
Lance Heno pulled out a laser gun and fired at the stone.
Click.
The ice cracked, and many milky white insects shuttled through the ice, occasionally eating some flesh and blood of the Xingguang people and slowly growing bigger.
A dense swarm of insects crawled out from the crowd.
Wu Jian threw a small silver ball which exploded above the bug.
The bugs were like a bucket of gasoline poured on the surface, and were affected by the explosion of the small silver balls and quickly burned.
In the firelight, one could hear the sound of insects struggling to get out of the fire. Seeing this, Wu Jian threw another small silver ball out. After a while, the insects and their bodies were burned to ashes.
After the insect swarm died, the surrounding buildings were frozen into ice sculptures.
Done in just the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
"This worm originates from Dark Star Region 8. It's a snowworm, a parasite born in cold climates. Region 8 experiences heavy snow year-round, and the underground ice never melts, which has given rise to a parasite. Once it enters the human body, it rapidly expands and grows until it bursts. Furthermore, snowworms cause hallucinations, so the scenes we've seen along the way may all be illusions."
After the competition, Wu Jian did some research on Dark Star.
The main civilization responsible for Dark Star 8 is the alien beast civilization.
"The alien beast civilization is responsible for Dark Star 8. The snowworm must have been brought out by someone."
Lance Heno nodded.
The question now is what role did the Xingguang civilization play in this and why was it exterminated?
In addition to its hallucinogenic ability, the snowworm is also a fragile creature.
If you destroy its true nature, the illusion will be broken.
So when Wu Jian threw the small silver ball out and it exploded, the snowworm was surprised and a kind of oily liquid overflowed from its body. It ignited as soon as the flames caught fire, and the express was delivered just like that.
After dealing with the snowworms, Wu Jian took away the gems outside the corridor. Since the Xingguang people had been exterminated, leaving the gems here would only benefit others, so it would be better to keep them with him.
After Wu Jian looted all the gems inside and outside the temple, he came to Xingguang City.
The city has been covered with ice sculptures, and the defense devices above the city have been destroyed by humans.
The once bustling streets are now deserted.
In the hotel where the two had rested before, the Xitulanya Restaurant on the ground floor was filled with frozen ice sculptures.
As the cold wind blew, the expressions of those people became more ferocious.
Wu Jian couldn't help but pull Lance Heno's clothes and followed him closely.
“It’s so tragic.”
“These should be the vendors who were reported missing.”
"Tsk tsk, I just wanted to make some money to support my family, but I ended up dying here."
Lance Heno and Wu Jian passed by, and the live broadcast presented multiple perspectives so that the vendors here could see their entire faces as clearly as possible.
"109 people, and about the same number of vendors are missing."
Wu Jian said, "These people can probably only be taken out after the training is over."
"They can't be taken out. There are snow worms in their bodies. It will be troublesome to take them out."
"Understood."
After Wu Jian followed Lance Heno out, he threw a small silver ball behind him, and the entire hotel was set on fire.
In the ice city, a column of black smoke could be seen burning, attracting many monsters from the surrounding area into the city.
Previously, due to the influence of the snowworm illusion, the monsters did not dare to approach here, but when the illusion was broken, the monsters paid attention to this city again.
Of course, we have to occupy such an area quickly, otherwise we will have to fight a hard battle if we are late.
roar!
Hordes of monsters entered the city.
One of the six-eyed monsters sniffed the air and ran wildly in one direction.
On the top floor of a three-story building, Wu Jian looked through the window and saw monsters running towards the city one after another below.
Wu Jian jumped out of the window and the golden giant beast took his place.
The monster in the other house was drooling at Wu Jian. When Wu Jian turned around, he wanted to break through the window to get in. But before he could do anything, he saw the monster opposite him.
Humanity disappeared, and a giant beast stronger than it reappeared, forcing it to leave in anger.
The place they found was very spacious and clean, and it was the only way for the monsters to enter and exit.
If an accident happens, you can run away directly without being stuck in the middle of the city.
Wu Jian was lying on a soft sofa, with a golden gem emitting warmth next to him.
This is a gem that Wu Jian found in a hidden corner of the palace. The heating of the entire temple is provided by golden gems, but he only found one that might be used, and the other golden gems are almost all broken.
In the warm room, Wu Jian lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
When I opened the panel, several hidden tasks didn't even move.
It is indeed a place with hidden energy planets.
Wu Jian was lying on the sofa, and the next second, he jumped up from the sofa.
Lance Heno and the golden giant beast lying on the window looked over at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Jian sat down again and said with a hint of uncertainty, "Brother He, the Xingguang civilization has a hidden energy planet. Could it be that someone knew about it in advance and captured the Xingguang people? But the Xingguang people were too honest and refused to comply, which led to their genocide?"
Lance Heno thought for a moment and nodded, "That's possible."
"This is just my guess. I guess we need to investigate the specific situation further."
"Some planets in the Milky Way do have secondary energy sources. Xingguang Civilization doesn't get involved in the affairs of outside civilizations, probably to protect their secondary energy sources."
"That's my guess. To be able to hide for so long, the people of Xingguang Civilization must be extraordinary."
At this moment, a roar broke the windows of the house.
The conversation between the two ended.
The golden beast sitting by the window stood up and arched its back, a signal for an attack.
At the moment the golden beast rushed out, Wu Jian was standing on the window and saw the monster with three eyes on its head fighting with the enlarged golden beast.
The opponent is strong, but the golden beast is stronger.
But there were not just one but three three-eyed monsters. The other two landed on the roof and squatted on the roof. The three eyes rolled around a few times and fixed their gaze on Wu Jian.
Wu Jian rushed out with his fists rubbed.
"Brother He, let's each take one and see who finishes it faster. I won't wait for you."
Lance Heno sighed
, and then rushed out.
Looking at the three-eyed monster that looked like an iron tower, Wu Jian became excited and the blood in his body began to flow rapidly.
Small silver balls exploded around the monster, dropping many tentacles and chunks of flesh.
Wu Jian accurately passed through the blood rain, came to the front of the monster, and picked out one of its eyes with his dagger.
The monster was caught off guard and its three eyes were reduced to two. It screamed and its tentacles rushed towards Wu Jian with anger and murderous intent.
"Next, I'll make you one-eyed."
Maybe it's because he doesn't understand what people say, or because he has a desire for food.
Even though the monster lost an eye, it did not give up the idea of eating Wu Jian and launched an attack in advance.
He stepped on the monster's head, turned around and kicked it sideways. The next second, a round thing was picked up and rolled several times in the snow. Its half-open eyes rolled around for a few seconds and then lost function.
Wu Jian took the opportunity to use the daggers on both sides to pierce several skulls on the monster. When the monster resisted desperately, he combined the two daggers to cut off the monster's head.
The headless corpse struggled for a few seconds, blood splattered, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Wu Jian shook off the blood on his wizard robe and turned around to find that the other two monsters had been dealt with by a man and a beast.
Wu Jian slapped his head in frustration, "What a miscalculation. Why are you trying to act cool? I can solve this problem with just one sword, why do you have to act cool?"
After muttering a few words, he walked to where the monster's head rolled down, inserted the sword into it, and an energy stone appeared.
After collecting the energy stones, pile up the monster corpses at the door as a deterrent.
The three-eyed monster should be considered a powerful monster. If three monsters are placed at the door, ordinary monsters will simply bypass the house and go to other places.
Wu Jian and the others had a sound sleep.
The next day I left the house and went to other parts of the city.
Along the way, Wu Jian was thinking about the first hidden task. How could he complete the task?
The Xingguang people have been wiped out. Are there any people left alone who have not been found?
Wu Jian couldn't understand.
Lance Heno's suggestion was to turn Xingguang City upside down, and there would always be some clues to be found.
Wu Jian felt that although Lance Heno's idea was crude, it was feasible, so he might as well conduct a carpet search. They had plenty of time anyway.
Xingguang City is very big. They walked around all day yesterday and there are still some places in District 3 that they haven’t visited yet.
It was troublesome to search bit by bit, but fortunately there were monsters coming to deliver the express, and in just half a day,
Wu Jian received twenty energy stones, all of which were of good purity.
The strongest monsters here are very powerful. Once the target they have set their eyes on is coveted by weaker monsters, they will first kill their own kind that see their prey. In addition, they will eat the flesh and blood of their own kind to evolve quickly, and the purity of the energy stone in their bodies will also change accordingly.
Looking at the energy stone in his hand, Wu Jian touched his chin. "The monster seems to have become smarter? What's going on?"
A monster standing beside Wu Jian pounced towards him.
Wu Jian leaned sideways to avoid the monster's bite, and the long sword in his hand turned into two handy daggers. As he slid past quickly, he lowered his body and the sharp daggers directly cut through the monster's body.
brush!
The monster split into several pieces. After Wu Jian dug up the energy stone and left, the monsters around who coveted the monster's flesh and blood swarmed in, leaving only a thin layer of blood on the snow. After a gust of wind and snow, the traces on the ground were directly covered.
Wu Jian found Lance Heno who was harvesting monsters in the east.
Lance Heno was still strong, swinging his sword. The powerful force in the muscle lines of his arms burst out the moment the sword was swung.
The one-eyed monster was covered in scales and had a hard head, but it couldn't withstand a single blow from Lance Heno.
After Lance Heno dealt with the monster, Wu Jian happily went to dig for energy stones. Brother He didn't want them anyway, so it would be a waste not to dig.
An energy stone of excellent quality appeared in front of Wu Jian.
"Brother He, here you go."
Wu Jian servilely handed Lance Heno a thermos cup of hot water, with a light-colored towel draped over his shoulder, perfectly portraying his servile personality.
Lance Heno combed back his golden hair with his hands, revealing his captivating golden eyes.
Seeing those golden eyes, Wu Jian's eyes flashed.
"Brother He, I have discovered something."
Wu Jian gave him the towel and put the thermos into his own space.
Lance Heno didn't stop him. He wiped his hair and said, "What did you find?"
Wu Jian said, "Isn't the quality of the monster energy stones we defeated too good? There isn't a single low-quality energy stone. Don't you find it strange?"
"The monster has regained its senses?"
Wu Jian snapped his fingers and gave Lance Heno a thumbs up.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother He. I just dealt with that monster, and when it was watching me deal with another monster, it took the opportunity to attack. It's so smart. We have been in Xingguang City for two days.
After the disaster, these monsters rushed into the city frantically. According to their instinct, they should first observe whether there is any danger around them before entering, but they did not do so and instead went straight into the city.
Wu Jian noticed the monster as soon as it entered the city, but at that time his mind was full of his own mission and he ignored it.
Now that I think about it, the monster's mood wasn't right.
Something was wrong from the attack of three three-eyed monsters.
The three-eyed monster he killed was so excited that it only had killing in its eyes, not the slightest fear. At the time, he thought it was his fault that the monster went berserk.
"Brother He, I smell a conspiracy. Could it be the people who exterminated the Xingguang civilization?"
Lance Heno wiped the blood off the sword in his hand, and with a flick of his hand, the sword disappeared with golden light.
"Don't think too much, I'm still here."
Wu Jian looked at Lance Heno's calm expression, and his nervous heart also relaxed.
Yes, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing in the face of absolute strength. What we should worry about are the people who are plotting behind the scenes.
Wu Jian followed Lance Heno to another area. There were fewer monsters here than in Area 3, but they were stronger than the monsters in Area 3.
As the port of Xingguang City, water vessels and spaceships gathered together. From a distance, they looked huge and numerous. Many of them were merchant ships, while the other small ships should be Xingguang Civilization's own spaceships.
Because they never leave their homes, the Xingguang civilization's spaceship is even older than any spaceship Wu Jian has ever seen. It should have been eliminated for many years.
The palace in Xingguang City was very exquisite, but because they never left their homes and did not have a lot of income, they were very poor.
Lance Heno explained that among the people of Xingguang, probably only the Son of God was relatively wealthy and had spare money, while the others could not even afford to buy clothes.
This is why when Wu Jian saw Kramdo in his hallucination, he was wearing tattered clothes.
"Brother He, let's go to the merchant ship and see what's there?"
That's a merchant ship that travels between various civilizations, maybe there are treasures there.
Lance Heno did not stop and let Wu Jian drag him onto the merchant ship.
There are many traces of modifications made by the merchants themselves on the merchant ship. It has good defense and is well maintained. Most parts of the spacecraft are very new, probably because it has been refitted.
What a pity, the merchant ship is still there, but the people are gone.
"Brother He, do you know how to recycle these boats? It's such a waste to just leave them there. We can make use of them."
Lance Heno explained:
Anything on a satellite planet that doesn't belong to an individual, or the owner is no longer there, can be reclaimed and confiscated. Of course, if someone takes it, they might have to pay ten times the price of the ship itself."
Wu Jian chuckled and calmly moved his hand away from the spaceship.
He just thought about it, and before he took any actual action, he was seen through.
"Brother He, why are you looking at me? I'm very good."
Lance Heno laughed meaningfully.
Wu Jian touched his nose and said, "Okay, I admit that I have such thoughts. But I am helping you spend money when the spaceship is wasted. How could Longlong have bad intentions? Longlong is just helping you share the pressure."
Wu Jian became more and more excited as he spoke, and kept brainwashing Lance Heno, but he was unsuccessful.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The first floor of a merchant ship is where passengers board, and the second floor is where the goods to be sold are placed.
Wu Jian walked in happily and lowered his head in despair.
The panel was empty, and there were no supplies.
"They are all a bunch of bandits, they didn't even leave me anything."
Wu Jian searched the box in the corner but found nothing.
Continue to the next floor, which is basically the last floor, where the captain and staff rest.
In order to find the treasure, Wu Jian searched every corner, but found nothing and even the beds were empty.
Just as he was about to leave the last floor and go upstairs, he stepped on a raised area.
Wu Jian moved his feet and stomped hard twice, and the hull made a hollow thud.
"There's something down there!"
He found a handy tool nearby and pried it into the ground. The empty shell on the ground was pried open, revealing a blue gemstone-like stone.
In addition to this one, there is also a piece of cloth underneath that looks like it was torn from somewhere.
After Lance Heno came down from the second floor, Wu Jian gave him the stone and rags in his hand.
"Brother He, this piece of cloth has nothing on it. Could it be used to wrap this stone?"
"No, the blue stone is a special stone of the Xingguang Civilization, and this piece of cloth is only found on the garbage planet. The one who destroyed the Xingguang Civilization was from the Hezong Alliance. I should have guessed it long ago."
"Oh yeah, that rubbish civilization is where the United Alliance disguised as pirates must pass through."
The news that it was the United Alliance that destroyed the Xingguang civilization went viral among the audience in the live broadcast room.
When the United Alliance first emerged, I didn't know
How many civilizations have been destroyed at their hands and become nightmares for many civilizations.
Although people have been hearing the name of the United Alliance recently, they have not taken it seriously. Unexpectedly, the United Alliance actually destroyed a civilization quietly.
If the United Alliance is allowed to continue, it may fall on them in the future.
While these things were being discussed frantically on the Star Network, the top leaders of other civilizations were also casting a wide net to capture the remaining coalition forces.
Three hundred years ago, the madmen of the United Alliance stirred up chaos in various civilizations, causing unbearable suffering.
Three hundred years later, such a thing cannot happen again. It must be nipped in the bud.
The top leaders of the ten most powerful civilizations are secretly forming an alliance, and this time they must eradicate the United Alliance.
In the secret place of the Mecha Civilization Palace, Fei Yu's face flickered with a hint of worry.
"Phil, are you okay?"
In the video, the scene was chaotic and dirty. The young man's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. Feeling the care from his relatives, he looked up and smiled.
"Don't worry, sis. I'm fine. Give me a little more time. I'll find their lair soon."
"You...be careful. If you find the target, send a message immediately and I will come to pick you up personally."
After the battle in the Mechanical City, Fei Yu returned to the Mecha Civilization and saw her father for the last time.
Hearing that Dr. Berger of the Canaanite civilization was an excellent doctor, she went to see Lance Heno and borrowed him. Unfortunately, the venom had entered the bone marrow and could not be cured.
The person who poisoned her turned out to be her own uncle, who betrayed her father with the United Alliance for the throne and interests.
If the old guy hadn't run away quickly, Fei Yu would have cut him into pieces.
The royal bloodline of the mecha civilization is rare. After their mother passed away, their father was their only relative, but he was poisoned. They could only watch him die slowly, and as his children, there was nothing they could do.
The throne was passed to her upon her father's death.
His father died tragically and the poisoner is still at large. How could Fei Yu and Fei Er let him live peacefully?
Originally, she was supposed to be the one to infiltrate the United Alliance, but Phil went in her place.
"Phil, be careful these days. I've formed an alliance with the Canaan Civilization. I won't let him get away this time."
"If the Canaanite civilization gets involved, our chances of winning will be very high. Sister, don't worry, I will definitely kill him and avenge my father!"
Phil hung up and cut off the video, and smashed the machine that connected the signal so that no one would suspect him.
As a person of the mecha civilization, repairing the signal device is very simple, even if he only loves singing and repairing machines is engraved in his bones.

After Wu Jian looked around at all the merchant ships around him, he found nothing good and left with a sigh.
The merchant ships at the port were now owned by the Canaanite civilization, so anyone who wanted to take them would need Lance Heno's permission. Furthermore, Lance Heno had been very kind to him, and it would be embarrassing to take his things for free.
Wu Jian thought about the ten small spaceships that Lance Heno had promised him, and it seemed a bit too much to set his sights on these merchant ships.
Wu Jian left the merchant ship with regret.
"Brother He, where are we going next?"
Lance Heno stroked the blue gem in his hand and said, "Looking for a mineral vein."
Mineral vein!
Did I hear it right?
Wu Jian's eyes lit up. He wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth and rubbed his hands.
"Brother He, is the mineral vein you mentioned valuable?"
Lance Heno raised an eyebrow. "The Xingguang Civilization's special ore can be sold for around 10,000 star coins per piece, with higher quality ones fetching higher prices."
Swish!
Wu Jian swallowed his saliva and seemed to see countless gems waving at him.
"Brother He, how is our relationship?"
Lance Heno: "What does it matter?"
Wu Jian shamelessly held Lance Heno's hand and shook it, "Brother He, we're already in this relationship. If you find a vein, give me 30% of it. No, 10%."
That's a mineral vein, and it's very valuable. One tenth of it is a huge fortune.
Lance Heno said, "Here you go."
Wu Jian:!!!
"How can this be so embarrassing? Without further ado, let's quickly go find a vein of ore. I can sleep among the gems in the future. Of course, I have to share a bed with Brother He."
Lance Heno was helpless. "Don't expect things to be too good. Have you forgotten how the Xingguang civilization wiped out your clan?"
Wu Jian said seriously, "That's right, we should find the mineral vein. What if those people dig up my treasure? No, no, Brother He, let's go quickly. I can't let others get their hands on my things."
Before finding the mineral vein, Wu Jian had already incorporated it into his territory.
Just kidding, whoever dares to steal the treasure of Dragon Land will have his hands chopped off.
Wu Jian has a good temper, but he is very protective of his treasures and holds grudges. If someone covets his treasures,
Hide, even if you chase him to the ends of the earth, you must kill him.
For example, regarding other countries that recently entered China's territory to rob China of its things, the protective Wu Jian directly spent hundreds of thousands of star coins to buy an ownerless spaceship, and added a laser cannon to bomb the island country's base and intimidate the Eagle Country.
Dragons are inherently domineering creatures.
It was only because he had met so many people who warmed his heart that he had restrained his temper, but that didn't mean he had no temper. Provoking them once or twice would be fine, but if he extended his claws a third time, he could crush them to death with a mountain of energy stones.
Of course, this is only for external purposes. Internally, Wu Jian retracted his sharp claws and was willing to be raised as a cub by everyone.
Wu Jian took Lance Heno's hand, and his claws turned into white and slender fingers. Because he pinched the corner of Lance Heno's clothes, his fingertips were slightly red.
Lance Heno took his hand in his own and said, "Let's go."
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Wu Jian looked down at the hand held by Lance Heno.
Lance Heno's hands were so long and big that they could easily hold his own hands.
Compared with Lance Heno's hand, his hand was a whole circle smaller.
This made Wu Jian secretly curl his lips. He was almost 1.8 meters tall, but why did he look so small in front of Brother He? Not only was he a head shorter, but his body was not as strong as Brother He.
As a dragon, how could I lose to Brother He in terms of momentum?!
