Chapter 33
Ye Bai saw that the mental power of this B-level strong man was shaking violently, which was much greater than that of the previous C-level mental power master.
It seems that going from level C to level B is also a qualitative change for the spiritual body.
Therefore, this time Ye Bai finally "heard" the other party's response, but if the fluctuation of mental power is likened to the volume of sound, then this response is undoubtedly weak and as thin as a mosquito's whisper.
"Star God, please...save me..."
Ye Bai was stunned when he heard Xiliana's response. Star God? It seemed like the other party had misunderstood something.
However, it is rare to find a civilization that still maintains faith in the interstellar age.
Ye Bai was very excited. He finally met someone he could communicate with. He was subconsciously preparing to deny or explain, but suddenly he stopped and thought about his own situation.
No matter how slow-witted he was, Ye Bai couldn't have failed to notice that his spiritual body was probably extremely special, completely different from other psychics, so much so that a B-level psychic could mistake it for a god - although the other party was in bondage, it was enough to explain the problem.
Ye Bai's identity as an ancient human puts her at risk of being captured by interstellar smugglers, not to mention that she has such abilities just after breaking through to D-level mental power. If this were to be revealed, A-level mentalists would probably be willing to capture her and slice her up for research.
Having values that do not match one's own strength is not luck, but danger.
Thinking of Xiliana's previous misunderstanding, Ye Bai had an idea and decided to go with the flow. He disguised himself as this "Star God" and hid behind the scenes to rescue this B-level strongman and let the other party create chaos in the Makul Group.
Anyway, Ye Bai's original idea was to destroy the device used by the Makul Group to restrain the creatures, thereby causing chaos and exposing their secret smuggling transactions to the public.
The front end of the planet Makul is still using the guise of the "Interstellar Zoo" to conduct normal operations. As long as the matter is exposed and comes to light, even if their secret business may not be a secret in the eyes of many forces, the Star Alliance, which has established an interstellar order, will not turn a blind eye to such things.
He already had the identity of an A-level hermit boss 'Bai Ye'. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you worry about them. Ye Bai thought about it and replied to Xiliana with a concise message.
"wait."
She is quite experienced in handling this kind of ambiguous feeling!
Then, Ye Bai focused his attention on the mental suppressor on Xiliana's neck.
It is obvious that this thing is the key item to trap these strong men, and the key lies in those two needles.
Ye Bai used identification on the two needles more carefully, and after several times, he finally got a piece of information.
'Ghost Magnetic'
This material called dark magnetism seems to be able to ignore mental power. The mental power that Ye Bai had used to explore it before could not touch it.
But it doesn't matter. She has experience in destroying the nutrition cabin on the spaceship. Since it is a forming device, it cannot escape the observation of weaknesses of [Insight].
As long as the main body of the device is destroyed, the magnetic needle will naturally no longer be able to emit circular patterns, and it will be impossible to continue to restrain the spiritual body.
The next moment, the circular device that Ye Bai was observing changed, and several familiar black gaps appeared.
There's hope!
After confirming this, Ye Bai withdrew his mental power.
If her mental power was represented by a blue bar, then after the exploration just now, more than 80% of it had been consumed. Her mental body felt tired and needed time to recover before it could continue to act.
After resting for a while, Ye Bai felt his spirit gradually replenished. When he was about to take action again, he suddenly felt a mechanical sound coming from below again, as if some mechanism was triggered. Then, an entire platform on the ground where the nutrition cabin was located began to rise.
Then a circular gap automatically opened in the ceiling above, letting in light.
“Snap, snap, snap…”
Amidst the rhythmic mechanical sounds, all the nutrition capsules were pushed by the mechanism at the rear and stood up from their flat position. The metal structure of the nutrition capsule automatically separated, revealing a visible inner capsule that was as transparent as crystal glass.
Spotlights from all directions shone simultaneously on every nutrient compartment on the platform, clearly illuminating every intelligent creature suspended in the nutrient solution.
"Welcome, distinguished members, to today's auction!"
As the words fell, a spotlight shone on a host in a formal suit.
The host wore a white mask without any facial features and stepped on a magnetic levitation device, which rotated around the platform where the nutrition capsule was located.
As he finished speaking, there was a burst of exaggerated cheers and applause all around, but it was obviously a mechanical atmospheric sound effect rather than real human voices.
Ye Bai's real body was still in an anesthetized coma, but her spiritual body was extremely clear, floating between her eyebrows. She felt that in the darkness where the spotlight could not reach, there were thousands of spiritual bodies of different sizes watching here.
Like a pack of wolves in an uninhabited wilderness, they stare at their prey with indifference and curiosity, revealing an unsettling desire.
Guests? A real person actually showed up?
Ye Bai was briefly surprised, then remembered that this was the technologically advanced interstellar age. If the entire buying and selling process used a communication network and there was no actual contact with the "physical object", such a transaction would be too easy to fake. Moreover, because it was a shameful illegal transaction, even if he was deceived, he could not make it public.
At this time, the host turned to Ye Bai's nutrition cabin, and she immediately took the opportunity to observe the other party's spiritual body.
The host seemed to be a C-level, but the light of his spiritual body looked like a light bulb with poor contact. The light trembled slightly like a candle flame and looked unstable.
This is obviously not a normal situation. Could it be that the opponent... was injured in his own game kill?
Forget it, business is important.
Feeling that his mana bar was almost full, Ye Bai did not delay and immediately transformed his mental power into tentacles and moved them near Xiliana.
【Arrow of Light】!
This time, Ye Bai still chose this skill because she was more proficient in using it due to her previous experience.
In order to destroy the mental suppressor, Ye Bai didn't dare to move too much. The two magnetic needles piercing into the flesh looked very dangerous. If he was not careful and did something wrong, causing damage to the mental body, it would be a waste of effort.
"Let's take a look at the first lot of today..."
"An ancient human who awakened from a cryostasis chamber ten thousand years ago. Her race evolved during the time they migrated from their home planet. This is a very primitive genetic chain. Collectible sellers are in luck; this is a truly rare piece!"
"It's a safe and harmless creature with F-level psychic power. It's small and cute, and its hair is the classic starry black. Whether you take it home as a collection or keep it as a pet, it's a very prestigious thing!"
"The starting price is five hundred star coins!"
However, after a passionate introduction, the audience fell silent and no one made a bid.
The host took another look at Ye Bai who seemed to be still in a coma, and thought that it was his weak posture that was the problem, so he triggered a command.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
The sound of the mechanical touching of the nutrition cabin was heard again.
With a gurgling sound, a hole opened at the bottom of the nutrient chamber, emptying the nutrient solution inside and allowing fresh air to flow in.
Ye Bai's body fell down softly and sat at the bottom of the nutrition cabin.
The host walked over and saw a woman with wet black hair clinging to her cheeks, covering most of her face.
“Chi——!”
A strong airflow blew from top to bottom, blowing away the black-haired woman's hair, revealing a slightly pale and beautiful face.
This commotion finally made Ye Bai inside open his eyes, and he looked at the host next to him with a pair of black eyes.
The host's voice was clearly transmitted to the nutrition cabin and translated to Ye Bai by the personal terminal.
"Lot 1, anything you want to say?"
"If you don't work hard to sell yourself, you'll end up in the lab and be used as some kind of precious material..."
The rich information contained in the words was enough for Ye Bai to understand his situation, and his personal terminal was unable to send information outward because it could only connect to the network of the planet Makul.
Ye Bai ignored the host and pretended not to understand.
——Don’t bother, I’m screwing in the screws!
At this time, Ye Bai was concentrating on manipulating magic. The light arrow, as thin as a cow's hair, was like a wrench, constantly hitting the weak part inside the mental inhibitor on Xiliana's neck.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
If the host showed his face, he would probably look very embarrassed and could only warn Ye Bai impatiently.
"Move quickly! This is your only chance!"
Ye Bai, who was annoyed by the disturbance, finally moved, stretched out his right hand and moved close to the edge of the nutrition cabin.
The host moved closer out of curiosity and saw the other person making a gesture he didn't understand - he put away the other fingers and only exposed the middle finger.
This unexpected move aroused the curiosity of a guest at the scene, and a distorted electronic voice asked, "What does she mean by this?"
The host didn't understand it either, but he explained it seriously: "Oh... this is a friendly gesture used by ancient humans to express their affection. She hopes you can buy her home!"
"How about it, customer? Only 500 star coins!"
The person who asked the question no longer answered.
The host felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and immediately stopped paying attention to Ye Bai. Instead, he introduced other nutrition chambers. Perhaps because of a previous experience, he poured out all the anesthetic drugs in the nutrition chambers.
Anyway, other psychics will not have any trouble with Ye Bai, an F-level ancient human, because they are awakened by their strong mental and physical strength. At the same time, what really traps them is not the anesthetics and metal chains on their limbs, but the psychic suppressor on their neck.
The warriors of various races who woke up in the nutrition cabin quickly understood their own situation, and some were angry, some were in pain, and some were silent...
"The Blue-Collar Giants... are said to share the same bloodline as the Golden-Striped Giants of the Cain Federation. Now they're only 4,500 star coins!"
"The Tin People are a tribe that excels at hiding. Catching this young one took a lot of effort on our hunting team's part. Starting bid: 3,600 Star Coins."
"The Kro tribe..."
As other groups with C-level mental power appeared, the atmosphere in the field became lively.
Until the host walked to the last nutrition cabin and stood in front of Xiliana with her red hair hanging down.
"Ding, ding, ding! The grand prize of today's auction! A Tianluo warrior!"
"Look at her armor. We were able to capture her by chance, and we even lost a team for it." The host pretended to wipe away non-existent tears.
A customer below impatiently interrupted his performance: "How much?!"
"Hahaha...don't be impatient, sir." The host laughed, feeling that this auction was finally taking on some semblance of its own. "The Tianluo bloodline is incredibly rare and precious. Needless to say, it might be difficult to obtain, but with advanced genetic technology, we can definitely produce offspring with their genes. This is a race that can even venture into space in the flesh."
"So, the starting price is... 10,000 star coins!"
The whole audience was in an uproar, but new bids continued to be generated.
Just when the bidding was in full swing and the price soared to 30,000 star coins.
"bite!"
A crisp cracking sound that only Xiliana could hear appeared in her mind.
The spiritual chains that had been bound for so long suddenly broke, and the powerful and brilliant spiritual body suddenly burst into an intense light.
The mysterious, ethereal, and grand will descends again:
"Go, destroy evil, and save the weak..."
Xiliana slowly raised her head, and her half-closed eyes opened on her heroic and beautiful face, her eyes as bright as stars.
Her plump lips opened and closed, reverently chanting the name of the Star God.
"I will defend your will with my life."
The host, who saw this scene, was still confused and came forward to ask in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Of course, he hoped that Xiliana would "show" some tenacity or pain again to stimulate the customers' desire to buy.
But the next moment——
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the nutrition capsule that bound Xiliana exploded from the inside like a fragile glass bottle.
At the same time, an incredibly fast hand grabbed the neck of the host who was still retreating.
The host, who is also a C-level psychic, was picked up like a chick in Xiliana's hands, unable to move, and lost the ability to resist in one encounter.
With her other hand, she pushed aside her red hair, revealed a bloodthirsty smile, and answered the host's question:
"I say... all of you bastards are dead today!"
Today is an early (a little) celebration of Wan Shou’s growth!
