Chapter 173: Demon Blood Spirit Crystal
After ending the call, Li Yuan didn't waste any time. He stood up, brandished the long spear in his hand, and swiftly killed the purple-robed man lying on the ground, who was almost unconscious.
The head split in two, dead beyond a doubt.
"You have consecutively killed rank-one creatures, obtaining spirit nutrients, and your spirit awakening level has reached 29%," the Divine Palace panel flashed with a prompt.
In reality, why was Li Yuan so certain that these three were aliens and not Seventh Star humans?
It wasn't because he understood their conversation or saw too many clues.
It was simply through the Divine Palace's investigation, which informed him that killing them would grant him 'spirit nutrients'.
This kind of reminder only appeared for aliens.
"No matter how good the disguise, it can't escape the scrutiny of the Divine Palace." Li Yuan glanced at the bodies of his opponents.
In fact, if Li Yuan hadn't killed them, this Talan clansman would have died from his injuries anyway.
Moreover, in this wild jungle, losing the ability to move was as good as waiting for death, and who knows when a beast might come running at the scent of blood.
"Chasing after a human? Why?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, pondering the information he had just received.
The intelligence wasn't extensive, mainly consisting of two key points.
First, the Talan clansman Li Yuan killed was only a 'rank-one warrior' among the Talan, and they were dispatched to guard the Mingxu Star Realm. They were essentially similar to the warrior officers in the human civilization's military.
Second, they were part of a large group sent to hunt down a human warrior. They had tracked their target for hundreds of kilometers.
Who was this human warrior? Why were they being pursued? The Talan warriors had no idea, at least these three didn't know.
"A large group of Talan, at least over 50 Talan warriors." Li Yuan thought to himself, "There must be more than one 19th-level warrior."
The Seventh Star human civilization and the Talan civilization not only interacted through the Mingxu Star Realm but also through other star realms. While they didn't engage in all-out war like the alien civilization behind Rob Sea, they maintained a hostile relationship.
Over the years, both sides had gained a deep understanding of each other's language, culture, and even technological history.
This was why Li Yuan, upon confirming through the Divine Palace that they were aliens, didn't hesitate to take action and kill them.
There was no need to ask why.
According to the 'Code of Conduct' provided by the base, anyone could directly attack the powerful members of the two major alien civilizations within a 1000-kilometer radius of the base.
Clang! Li Yuan quickly searched the three bodies but didn't find anything of great value.
Weapons? Armor? They were only mid-grade rank-one weapons, not worth much, and Li Yuan had nowhere to store them anyway.
Other items were even scarcer, mostly food.
"Hmm, a life detection device? A rank-one one." Li Yuan smiled, having found something truly valuable on the most powerful Talan.
He took it.
This was a technological product of the Talan.
It was somewhat similar to the 'Life Qi Detection Device' of the Seventh Star humans, but of better quality and already miniaturized, allowing it to be carried around.
Li Yuan had the Divine Palace's detection, which was more accurate, so he didn't need this device.
This palm-sized life detection device, judging by its appearance, was also only rank-one, capable of detecting up to 20th-level life forms at most.
However, if Li Yuan handed it over to the base, it would be worth several million Blue Star coins.
"Perhaps our Seventh Star human civilization's life qi detection device was initially inspired by this device," Li Yuan thought to himself.
War, in a sense, continuously promotes technological development.
It forces a civilization to strengthen itself to avoid extinction.
Over the centuries, the Seventh Star human civilization, through numerous star realms and interactions with countless alien civilizations, has made leaps in both technology and cultivation.
"Beast civilizations often have weak technology."
"But many humanoid civilizations have incredibly advanced technology, and some are far superior to human civilization." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
This information might not be known to ordinary people, but it wasn't a secret among Essence Warriors.
Li Yuan had perused a vast amount of information in the Starfire Martial Palace and was well aware of this.
Because of this, the entire Seventh Star human civilization was filled with a sense of crisis, vigorously developing their martial arts and technology to become stronger.
Speaking of which, Li Yuan's search only took a few dozen seconds, and he casually tossed the life detection device into his tight-fitting backpack.
"Observation Point 19?"
"Let's go." Li Yuan quickly determined the direction and set a 'directional guide' on his smart ring.
A straight-line distance of 40 kilometers!
"At full speed, I should be able to get there within 20 minutes. I hope they can hold on." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his figure speeding up to over 50 meters per second, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards Observation Point 19.
A large group of Talan warriors?
Breaking into an observation point wasn't difficult, especially without the use of technological weapons.
"Just 1% away from reaching a 30% spirit awakening level." A glint of ferocity flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
Let's use them for an experiment.
...
In the Mingxu Star Realm, the Seventh Star human civilization had not only established forward bases but also observation points and data points.
Data points were areas suitable for growing various precious medicinal herbs or mining precious minerals.
Observation points were often located on the outermost periphery, serving the purpose of monitoring and surveillance within a radius of several dozen kilometers or even larger areas. They also provided temporary rest areas for numerous warriors training in the outer regions.
Observation Point 19 was one such observation point, located on the outskirts and far from the war base, hidden within a mountain. The entire mountain was hollowed out, making it complex and inconspicuous from the outside, resembling an ordinary small mountain.
For the past few decades, it had been safe.
But today, Observation Point 19 faced a devastating disaster.
The outermost defense system had already been breached.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
The fierce fire snakes roared, and over ten metal bullets sealed off a corridor more than ten meters wide, completely suppressing the dozens of Talan warriors outside.
In the confined space, even a 19th-level powerhouse would face extreme danger if they tried to forcibly charge through the torrent of metal bullets.
"What the hell!"
Outside the passage, a monstrously built man, towering over 2.5 meters tall, clad in black armor, with eyes that seemed ready to spew fire, spoke up, "This Seven Stars Human Civilization is so brazen in their use of technological weapons. Don't they fear provoking a backlash from the native Star Realm beings?"
The surrounding Talan warriors remained silent.
"Captain Logan, what should we do?" asked a short and stout man with a deep voice. "We all know that this observation point of the Seven Stars Humans might have other passages. If we delay, they'll likely escape."
"The most crucial point is that this place is very close to the base of the Seven Stars Humans. They must be calling for reinforcements. Once the Essence Warriors arrive, we're all dead."
"If we don't bring back the mission target, we'll face big trouble too." The short and stout man looked at his companion and said, "Blood Garrison won't let us off easily."
Obviously.
Among the more than forty Talan warriors present, these two held the highest status.
"Molo, I don't need your reminder," the burly man named Logan said coldly. "I'm well aware of the consequences of failing the mission."
"Don't hesitate. Let's unleash our power and make a path."
"Mmm."
The two powerful Talan leaders, no longer hesitant, took out a small bottle from their pockets. They gently opened it, revealing a blood-red pill inside.
They swallowed it without hesitation.
Seeing the blood-red pill, the surrounding Talan warriors' eyes flashed with envy.
A thunderous roar echoed as the burly and stout warriors' skin turned fiery red, with strands of blood-colored energy flowing across their bodies.
This was a special Heavenly Material and Treasure called 'Devil Blood Spirit Crystal' among the Talan. Once consumed, it temporarily boosts one's strength and speed significantly, granting a trace of unique Origin Power.
While it has limited effect on Essence Warriors, it provides a substantial boost to First Rank Lifeforms, not only increasing their strength but also leaving no side effects. Instead, after the pill's effect, it further enhances their overall physical proficiency.
However, this drug is extremely rare, and ordinary First Rank warriors rarely obtain it.
In this case, the mission was exceptional.
The two captains, with life tiers exceeding 19, each received a pill to use in critical moments.
With a clang and a snap, the burly Logan and the stout Molo were fully covered in armor.
"Let's charge, follow us!"
"Kill!" Logan roared.
Boom! Boom! One wielded a battle sword, and the other held a massive battle axe as they simultaneously rushed into the passage.
Clang! Countless metal bullets rained down on them, reducing their speed due to the terrifying impact. But in an instant, the blood-colored energy streams combined with their armor, blocking the bullets.
... Inside Observation Point 19, dozens of human warriors stood tense, each holding a weapon and staring intently at the passage.
The thermal weapons were directly controlled by the intelligent system within the observation point.
"Captain," Shi Xiao gripped her battle sword, her eyes cold and fixed.
"Relax," said the captain standing beside her, Wu Que, a mature woman in her thirties. "Your strength is second only to mine in the squad, but you lack experience."
"A life-and-death battle."
"First, we must remain calm," Wu Que said softly, as a warrior who had been fighting in the Mingxu Star Realm for many years.
Her life tier had reached 19.6, and she was extremely experienced.
"Understood," Shi Xiao nodded.
"Don't worry, Captain Wu Que," the observation point's leader said softly.
"Earlier, you said the outer defense system could withstand at least twenty minutes. What happened?" Wu Que glanced at him coldly. "Three of my team members are dead."
The leader fell silent.
He hadn't expected the attacking Talan warriors to be so fierce, each surpassing the 18th level, undoubtedly an elite force.
Suddenly, "Not good, they've broken through!" Wu Que's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she roared, "Prepare for battle! Kill!"
Boom! Thunderous roars accompanied the two terrifyingly powerful Talan warriors as they charged through the metal storm like lightning, swiftly destroying numerous thermal weapon launchers with a flash of their bodies.
Dozens of Talan warriors followed like a tidal wave.
"Kill!"
"Engage!" Over twenty human warriors, with no way to retreat, charged into battle.
"A bunch of trash!"
"You can't escape!" The burly Logan spotted his target and rushed forward like lightning.
"Your opponent is me!" Wu Que brandished her spear, blocking his path.
"Get out of my way!"
...
After approximately 23 minutes, Li Yuan, running at full speed, followed the map on his smart ring and finally reached the forest outside Observation Point 19.
A quick scan of the surroundings changed his expression.
"Bodies?" Li Yuan's gaze swept the area, revealing numerous corpses in the outer region.
Judging by their appearance, they were humans, many of them wearing purple robes—obviously Talan warriors.
Many other corpses belonged to the Seven Stars Civilization.
"So many deaths..." Li Yuan's heart stirred with killing intent.
"Has the observation point fallen?" A flash of confusion crossed Li Yuan's mind, followed by a faint sound of combat reaching his ears.
"There are still survivors."
Whoosh! Li Yuan's figure moved like lightning, rushing through the exposed wide passage.
