Chapter 32 Blue Spiritual Power (Update 1)
"Mingyu!" The survivor wiped his face vigorously twice, so shocked that his brain almost stopped working. He could only say subconsciously, "You, you, you...it's true that the real person doesn't show his true face, and if he shows his true face, he is not the real person..."
"Mingyu...Luce...you're the designer of 'Colorful'...you're a genius!!! You even acted like nothing happened while we were having dinner!..."
He made his baby face look like a calico cat, but at least some of his facial features were revealed.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu: “…Cui Xiaoduo?!”
He was even more incredulous than the other person, "Why are you here?! How did you recognize me?!"
His image on StarNet is obviously completely different from that in reality!
"Mingyu." Mu Baixing's voice sounded beside him, interrupting Cui Xiaoduo before he could finish his words.
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu remembered that he had never told Mu Baixing about his origins.
He didn't know how much Mu Baixing knew about the Central Star Region, so he paused and looked at him.
Mu Baixing's expression remained calm as he entered his mining area number into the embedded screen on the wall, leaving a record of his use of the protected area. The starship hatch slid open, and the man tilted his head and said calmly, "Let's go."
Mu Boxing seemed to know nothing about the power of the Ming family and the rumors about himself, so their teamwork and cooperation would not be affected by these matters.
Mingyu relaxed a little.
The battleship's hatch was high up. Mingyu gripped the handrails with both hands, raised his left leg, and stepped onto the edge of the door, pushing hard. Mu Boxing gently pushed him in the lower back, then watched Mingyu pull Cui Xiaoduo into the hatch before finally leaping out.
The battleship's interior was simple, with the forward cockpit and the aft rest area completely connected. The rest area was even smaller than the cockpit, with equipment lockers built into the surrounding walls and four fixed seats in the center. The three of them passed through the rest area and entered the cockpit. The thumping noises outside were growing louder, and Mingyu suspected that in another minute or two, the frog beasts' tongues would pierce the walls here, too.
"Do you have any driving experience?" Mu Baixing sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Cui Xiaoduo with scrutiny.
Cui Xiaoduo shook his head like a rattle: "I am an awakened human, but I am a starship designer. I have only been in the cockpit when playing star navigation games..."
"Go to the communications station."
Mu Baixing raised his hand and pointed, and Cui Xiaoduo quickly obeyed the order and sat down in front of the communication console at the back of the cockpit. Mingyu sat down in the first observation position to Mu Baixing's right and pulled down the operating helmet.
"Brother Mu," he whispered, "My mental strength level is very low, and I have never accessed the starship system..."
Mu Baixing hummed: "Afraid?"
He had already put on a helmet, and his voice came from the communicator. Most of his face was covered by the helmet, so Mingyu couldn't see his expression.
Mingyu said matter-of-factly: "A little bit."
The starship starts.
Golden, dark-gold mental energy flowed into the starship's pipeline. Mingyu instinctively mobilized his mental energy, sending it into the pipeline that was also connected to the mechanical core. Behind the starship's solid steel wall, the two pipelines briefly ran parallel to each other before converging.
Mingyu and Mu Baixing's mental power is close together.
The colorless mental power filaments were entangled with the dark gold mental power that was three or four times thicker than his. Mingyu felt as if his body was attached to a hot current.
It was hot, but not enough to burn him. The golden spiritual energy seemed to possess an infinite attraction, causing Mingyu's spiritual energy strands to entwine around it one after another.
Mu Baixing tightened his fingers unconsciously.
His Adam's apple slid, and he said in a deep voice, "Too tight."
Mingyu: “…”
"I... I can't control it!" Mingyu also realized that his mental power was tightly wrapped around Mu Baixing.
He tried to pull it away, but to no avail.
Mu Boxing had already pushed the start lever, and the starship slid forward. The man leaned back in his seat, his shoulders tense, and closed his eyes, then opened them again, trying to dispel this unprecedented feeling.
His mental power was very exclusive, and even because of its strong exclusivity and aggressiveness, it was impossible to communicate with the mental power of the observer. Therefore, for a long time in the past, his observer was just an ordinary person.
This was the first time that his mental power was being tightly entangled by someone else. He did not reject it, and the other party certainly did not avoid it either.
That’s not all.
Those thin threads of mental power that were wrapped around him seemed to be desperately trying to absorb something from him. They slid and shrank inward, conveying a seemingly ambiguous desire that even their owner could not understand.
Mingyu's cheeks flushed, and the embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart suppressed his fear.
Mu Baixing's presence was more prominent than ever before, and the tightly entangled touch made Mingyu almost at a loss.
The man and his molten gold-like mental strength were too strong, a mixture of cold and hot, leaving an indelible mark in Mingyu's world.
There seemed to be no obstacles between them, their minds were in harmony, and the energy flow penetrated into Mingyu's mind from the intersection of the two mental forces, making Mingyu couldn't help but move his lips.
It was like a mouthful of hot food sliding into the mouth of a hungry person, and the numb stomach suddenly woke up at this moment, realizing that it needed more food.
Mingyu felt that his mental power was madly absorbing energy.
Those energies did not come from others, but from Mu Baixing. At the same time, the part where his originally transparent filaments connected to the golden mental power slowly lit up with a faint blue flash.
His spiritual power was taking on color, like a plant watered by spring rain, growing outward.
It's like another spiritual awakening.
"Brother Mu...!" Mingyu breathed rapidly, trying his best to suppress his sudden desire for energy, fearing that he would drain all of Mu Baixing's mental strength.
At the same time, the starship's engines roared, rushing forward and entering the takeoff orbit.
"Relax." Mu Baixing's voice sounded, and it sounded as if he was speaking right next to Mingyu's ear. "You can give it to me."
The transparent mental power threads have all turned blue and are becoming brighter and brighter.
It was an extremely beautiful cold-colored firework, wrapped around the gold and radiating outward vigorously, spreading along the lines inside the starship to the outer shell of the starship, as if to turn this silver-gray starship into a beautiful star.
The two spiritual powers were completely intertwined and entangled at the bottom, and it seemed that they could no longer be separated.
"Help me watch." Mu Baixing said, "Tell me the direction."
"Take control of your mental powers. They are a part of you."
Mingyu pursed his lips, and all his thoughts settled down with Mu Baixing's voice.
The speed of the starship was getting faster and faster, the take-off track rose upward, and Mingyu saw the end of the track.
Groups of frog beasts squatted on the ground, surrounding the mining base. The sound of "dong dong dong" continued. The outer layer of the base had completely collapsed, the ground sank, and even the foundation had collapsed.
In such a large base, only the innermost and most solid central area and another defense area are still intact, standing on the ground like two isolated islands in the ocean.
Frog beasts gathered closer to the central area, attempting to lift the protective iron shells and, incidentally, the steel structures of the collapsed buildings nearby, dragging out the humans hiding beneath and devouring them. Several frog beasts at the edge of the defense zone were still attempting to lift the walls, seeking the few insects that had recently harmed them and were hiding within.
The steel plates of the defense area were eventually pierced by their tongues.
At the same time, a loud rumbling sound was heard in the takeoff track.
That was the roar of the starship's engines.
In the eyes of several frog beasts, a flying object really rushed out from the other end of the iron-gray dilapidated building. It seemed to be the same delicacy wrapped in an iron shell as they had eaten before.
But this one is a little different.
It emits a dazzling yet captivating bright glow.
In the dim sky, several starships that had left the base in search of ores flew by and circled in the distance, but they never dared to get close, for fear that they would become food for the frogs if they got any closer.
"The data exchange interface with other modules of the Star Network is only within the area around the base. If we don't go back, how are we going to get out of the mining area and back to the normal Star Network area?!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see the notification just now? The interaction has been cut off! There's no notification of restoration yet. Wouldn't it be a death sentence if I go back early?"
"Our starship won't have much energy left when we return... Should we land first?"
"It's too dangerous. Who knows if there are more frog beasts waiting to come out from underground?"
"I think we have to go back! When interaction is restored, everyone in the lobby can log off directly. What should we do?!"
Heated discussions and arguments were taking place on every starship, but no one dared to approach the base rashly. At this moment, a new broadcast lighted up on everyone's star map screen.
"Are there still starships taking off from the base?!" people circling and watching from afar shouted. "They're warships coming out of the defense zone, with psychic energy attached to their outer layers... but isn't that just suicide?! The frog beasts have such excellent dynamic vision, and there are so many of them, with so many tongues, it's terrifying just looking at them from here..."
Mingyu's back was covered in cold sweat.
He felt that he was one with the starship, and everything around him was extremely clear.
The temperature, the wind, the direction of the air flow, the strange smell of the frog beast, and the mucus splashed when the long tongue rolled.
Those scarlet tongues stretched from top to bottom, piercing their starship. The threat was so clear, the terror was everywhere, but… every detail he could feel that made his blood curdle also helped him predict the movements of those disgusting creatures in advance.
Mingyu felt that his perspective had never been so broad.
The direction of the frogs' upcoming attack and the trajectory of those scarlet tongues after they popped out seemed to be clearly presented in his mind, calculated with some kind of logic, just like when he designed the starship.
His face was pale, his lips were trembling, his mind was highly concentrated, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak under the threat of death.
But he didn't need to speak.
He and Mu Boxing seemed to be using the same brain.
As Mingyu's thoughts flashed, Mu Baixing changed course. The silver-gray warship, shrouded in a layer of blue light, was like a flash of lightning, more agile than anyone could have imagined. Its hull tilted, gliding through the air in a brilliant arc, and with a gesture that could almost be described as effortless, it pierced through the frog beast's long tongues that repeatedly curled toward them.
"Don't be afraid." Mu Baixing said, "I won't let you die here."
Mingyu's nervousness was relieved a lot by Mu Baixing's words.
He licked his lips and said, "Okay, Brother Mu has the best skills."
He relaxed a bit, and jokingly imitated Mu Baixing's tone, saying with a tone that was hard to tell whether it was that of a big boss or just pretentiousness, "I won't point you in the wrong direction and let you run into an encirclement."
Mu Baixing raised the corners of his lips.
"good."
He faced the orange sun and answered Mingyu.
He then pulled the front of the starship upwards with great force.
He carried Mingyu into the sky.
