Qin Fei and Xi Yuan were in a good mood after their successful mission early in the morning. They were now heading to the edge of the iceberg continent. There lived a small, cute creature called a sea cat, which was only a quarter the size of an insect.
Neither of them likes pets, but since they are here, it would be nice to take a look at this long-renowned pet. After all, this kind of sea cat can only survive on this continent of Aurora.
It’s not like there aren’t any in other places, but they can’t live as healthily away from here, and they are generally sickly. So if you want to see lively and healthy sea cats, you can only come to Aurora.
————
After seeing these cute sea cats in legend and in reality, it was time for lunch, so they went to the most famous restaurant in the area to enjoy lunch.
What is unique about this place is that the buildings here are all made of ice, and you can vaguely see what is happening inside through the thick ice layer from the outside.
And because of the low temperature here, it is not easy to build such a building with ice blocks, so the shapes of the buildings here are strange and varied, fully reflecting the imagination of every Zerg.
The restaurant they entered looked like a giant turtle, but if you looked closely, it was actually a strong sea turtle swimming in the ocean. There were similar patterns carved on the surface, which looked very lifelike. The place they were entering was the open mouth of the turtle, which was the door of the restaurant - it felt like they were being eaten by a sea turtle.
As soon as he entered, the sounds that were blocked by the ice layer appeared in his ears, and it was very lively. Xi Yuan showed the counter his pre-booked seat, and then was led to a remote small compartment.
If they hadn't reserved a seat in advance, it would never be their turn. There were already more than ten people lined up outside, and if they had to wait, it would be a waste of time.
After a while, the dishes he had ordered in advance arrived. They were all specialties of this glacier road. Many of them were seafood living in the ice sea, and the rest were roots and fruits of ice magic plants that lived on this continent.
They had never eaten many of these dishes, but of course, the seafood produced here tasted as delicious as advertised.
After lunch, they did not leave, but climbed onto the back of the "sea turtle", where there were large platforms. There were already many insects who came up here to digest their lunch.
At this time, the sky had begun to darken slightly.
They looked at the view for a while, then it got dark. And soon the sky was filled with the aurora borealis, for which the planet is named.
I feel like I have seen all the colors and changes of my life during this period of time.
I don’t know if it’s because of the location, but I always feel that the lasers I see here are closer than the auroras I see in the red ocean. It seems that if I stretch out my hand or jump, I can catch the changing light in my hands.
It's a grand visual feast.
............................
On the third day, I went to the most famous street here and walked around it from beginning to end. I bought anything I was interested in. If I thought something had commemorative significance, I also bought some to give to friends. The three days I planned to spend passed in the blink of an eye.
After packing up, they boarded the spaceship early in the morning of the fourth day and headed for their next destination.
The next destination is a planet called Mercury. 99% of the planet is covered by ocean, with only a few scattered islands. However, this planet is the birthplace and overlord of a water magic finger called Nori.
80% of the entire Mercury's sea surface is covered by sea moss leaves. Its leaves look like lotus leaves on Earth, and their leaves will become larger and stronger as they live. The longer they live, the larger the leaves will be. Now the largest one is as big as the largest island there, and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of Zerg to live on it.
Moreover, the leaves on this magic plant are not a very important part of the magic plant. Its real core lies in the rhizomes rooted deep in the ocean. That is the forbidden area set up by the magic plant. Any alien creature that wants to enter the deep seabed will be strangled by the roots of these magic plants, without exception.
They want to go there because this magical plant can bloom, and the flowers it blooms are not only beautiful, but also produce a strange fragrance. Incense made from this strange-smelling seaweed flower is very popular among the insect tribe. The reason for its popularity is that the flower language of this flower is a happy life.
They had to spend five days on the spaceship to get there from the Aurora. That was where the problem came from.
There was nothing unusual at first, but when their spaceship entered a small meteorite belt, Xi Yuan sensed something was wrong.
To be on the safe side, he also sent messages to the other two spaceships, asking them to pay more attention to the surrounding situation. Two female insects also flew out of the spaceship to check the surrounding situation.
Then, once they left, they never came back. This was a real confirmation that something was wrong. All three spaceships accelerated to their maximum speed, driving at full speed, hoping to fly out of this meteorite belt as far as possible.
In this complex meteorite belt, if the Zerg want to do something malicious, it is most convenient to set up here. If they want to send out a distress message, they will most likely be disturbed.
Before they could reach their maximum speed, they were intercepted by three spaceships that suddenly appeared in front of them. Qin Fei and Xi Yuan stayed in the main control room together.
When Xi Yuan saw the six red dots appearing on the screen in the main control room, his face instantly turned pale.
"My Lord, you must not leave my side."
As he spoke, he issued an order on the screen, and saw the two escort spaceships emitting blue smoke forward and backward, and the forward momentum of the six red dots was slightly hindered.
However, the other party took such a great risk to rob the empire's ninth-level male insect and also made full preparations.
They estimated that their target was on this spaceship, so all the particle cannons were directed at the two escort spaceships.
At the beginning, he seemed to be able to handle it with ease, but this position was too unfavorable. There was very little room to hide, and the front and rear exits were blocked.
As time went by, they could only use the energy of their spaceships to withstand their attacks. It was not that they did not want to fight back, but their spaceships were equipped with civilian rather than military equipment, and the range of their missiles was easily blocked by the opponent's light shield, so it did not hurt or itch.
However, the two escort spaceships also successfully bought some time for their spaceship. Xi Yuan had a detailed understanding of this route, and he had also done some homework on this small meteorite belt. He knocked away a huge meteorite next to him. Then he used the rebound force to fly out of the encirclement at a tricky angle at the cost of the spaceship's damage, and then turned on the spaceship's interference function.
The distress signal has been sent, but whether the Empire can receive it in time is a problem. And even if they receive their distress message, it will take time to rush here. According to the procedure, the No. 9 escort fleet patrolling nearby is now at the other end. If they rush here, it will take at least half a day. Half a day, they can't hold on for that long! Those six airships are obviously high-end goods of the current military. I don't know how they got them. Is there a thief in the military?
