Chapter 214: Blood Barbarian Continent - Totem Barbarian Tribe
Chapter 214: Blood Barbarian Continent - Totem Barbarian Tribe
In the Azure Moon Manor, within the courtyard of Uncle Song Yang's residence.
After offering his congratulations, Song Chi left the courtyard under the watchful eyes of Song Shishi and Aunt Zhao Lan.
Song Shishi had successfully awakened her powers, and it was only proper for him to come and offer his best wishes. Besides, he had left her two blue-quality ship components as a token of his goodwill.
His recent fortunes were no longer a secret within the Song family. Giving away two blue components would not only show his generosity but also have a negligible impact on his resources. During his time in the ancient star battlefield, he had acquired a considerable number of white and blue components, so he was far from short on these.
...
Two days later, deep in the sky above the Dragon Spine Continent, with a violent spatial fluctuation, the Celestial Dome disappeared into the clouds, embarking on a new interstellar exploration.
In the unknown, pitch-black starry sky, there was no need to wait for the star map to generate after several dozen minutes. On the radar screen of the [Silver III Generation Hyperspace Magic Energy Detector], a sizable floating landmass in the star sea suddenly appeared.
"Over two million kilometers in length and width, it's actually a Level 3 star sea floating landmass..."
Upon seeing the Level 3 floating landmass on the radar, Song Chi's initial reaction was not joy but a subconscious frown.
"Continuously upgrading multiple components to Level 39 has indeed affected the overall combat assessment of the Celestial Dome."
Previously, the regions where the Celestial Dome was deployed rarely had Level 2 star sea floating landmasses. Now, it had been deployed near a Level 3 floating landmass. According to the information from the "Magic Energy Detection" feature, this was not a resource-type floating landmass but a life-type one, which implied a significant level of danger.
This alone was enough to show the difference from previous missions.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Chi quickly regained his composure. He had been somewhat prepared for this and was not overly surprised.
While the majority of the combat assessment for an Ember Warship during interstellar deployment was based on the Ember Ship's hull, this did not mean that other components on the ship had no influence. The number, quality, and current enhancement levels of the components all affected the combat assessment, though to a lesser extent compared to the hull.
Now, it seemed that even though Song Chi had been holding back on upgrading the Celestial Dome's Ember Ship hull, components like the [Neutron Star Core Armor] and the [Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon] had still raised the Celestial Dome's combat assessment to a new level.
With this in mind, Song Chi's vigilance instinctively increased.
Against a Level 2 star sea floating landmass, the Celestial Dome could easily dominate, much like how it had suppressed the Blue Blood Floating Land before. However, a Level 3 star sea floating landmass required a certain level of respect. Such a high-level floating landmass had a chance to harbor threats that could be fatal to the Celestial Dome, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
As he pondered, a sudden, several-dozen-meter-long steel arrow shot toward him.
Song Chi, who was already prepared, maneuvered the Celestial Dome with a slight sidestep, precisely dodging the formidable steel arrow.
Thanks to the [Silver III Generation Hyperspace Magic Energy Detector], Song Chi was well aware of the peculiar starship that had appeared nearby.
Hum!
The Celestial Dome's engines roared to life, and it swiftly darted forward, with the sword light phantom rapidly forming at the bow.
After covering a short distance, a uniquely designed warship appeared on the Celestial Dome's display screen.
This was a starship over a kilometer long, resembling a medieval European sailing ship from his previous life.
Honestly, at first glance, Song Chi felt a sense of deja vu, but the awkward part was that this strange sailing ship was sailing through the starry sky, which just didn't seem right no matter how he looked at it.
On the deck of the starship stood several half-wolf men, each over five meters tall with explosive muscles and wolf heads on human bodies.
From a distance, these half-wolf men resembled the jackal men, but a closer inspection revealed that they were far from being jackal men.
Their significantly more muscular bodies silently informed Song Chi that this was a race with exceptional physical prowess, far superior to the jackal men.
Additionally, there was one aspect of this starship that particularly caught Song Chi's attention.
At the bow of the warship, a colossal ship crossbow with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters stood prominently. The crossbow frame was adorned with numerous mystical runes, which significantly enhanced its range, speed, and power.
The arrow that had attacked the Azure Sky a million kilometers away was most likely fired from this crossbow. This piqued Song Chi's curiosity.
Of course, what intrigued him even more was how the Azure Sky, equipped with an orange-quality aerial radar, could achieve such long-range targeting. Looking at the configuration of the opposing warship, how did they manage to detect the Azure Sky from a million kilometers away? Could it be that this starship also possessed an aerial radar? It seemed highly unlikely!
Driven by curiosity, Song Chi didn't use his full strength. The attack from the Pure Yang Sword Cannon was aimed only at the warship's bow, destroying the ship's main cannon. After that, he cleared out the half-wolf beings on the ship.
Seeing that the threat was mostly eliminated, Song Chi activated the Precision Deployment Platform and deployed four Void Shadow Assassin puppets. One of these puppets, which had a brainwave beacon implanted, carried a miniaturized Thorn Dragon on its shoulder.
This Thorn Dragon, since being enslaved, had not yet participated in any significant battles. The retro-style warship ahead had several third-tier half-wolf beings, making it a perfect opportunity for the dragon to stretch its wings.
Hum!
After the spatial fluctuation, the four Void Shadow Assassin puppets vanished into the void. The only one visible to the numerous half-wolf beings was the Thorn Dragon.
Roar!
The small creature reacted quickly. Upon arriving on the warship, it rapidly expanded, and within a blink, its wingspan reached a peak of 1,500 meters.
Whoosh!
Scorching dragon breath swept across the entire warship, turning it into a sea of fire.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
On the deck, countless half-wolf beings roared fiercely, their bodies adorned with the same mystical runes as the crossbow frame.
As they roared, these runes emitted a faint, mysterious light. However, to Song Chi's surprise, they showed no effect, leaving him with a thousand questions.
Silver-tipped wax candles
Strong on the outside, weak on the inside
In his mind, these half-wolf beings, who appeared to be powerful, were now described with these two phrases.
Under the scorching dragon breath, hundreds of half-wolf beings, including several third-tier ones, were incinerated without a single ripple. If not for the intervention of the four Void Shadow Assassin puppets, who captured one of the third-tier half-wolf beings, they would have been completely wiped out.
In the main control room of the Azure Sky, Song Chi's eyes flickered.
Honestly, this was the first time he had so easily dealt with a third-tier alien warship.
From start to finish, it was just a few dragon breaths from the Thorn Dragon, and the half-wolf beings were engulfed in flames, not even using their full third-tier powers.
Puzzled, Song Chi walked to the engine room and activated the Nuyi Medal component with a mental command.
With the Bloodthirsty Vine gone, a slot in the enslavement mark was now free, ready to be used.
Song Chi's thoughts were simple. The events that just transpired didn't seem typical for third-tier beings. He felt there must be some hidden reason, so he decided to enslave this third-tier half-wolf being to gather more detailed information.
In front of the Subjugation Medallion, the third-tier half-wolf being was quickly enslaved, and Song Chi began his thorough questioning.
He inquired about the previous starship, the crossbow, the mystical runes on the crossbow frame, and the third-tier Star Sea Floating Land behind them, leaving no detail unexplored.
As the questioning deepened, he gradually learned many crucial pieces of information.
Barbarian Sky Vessel
Wolf Barbarian Clan
Totem Spirit Pillar
Totem Runes
Blood Barbarian Continent
...
According to the third-tier half-wolf being, they were known as the Wolf Barbarian Clan, members of the "Iron Wind Wolf Barbarian Tribe" from the third-tier Star Sea Floating Land called "Blood Barbarian Continent." They had ventured into outer space to explore the interstellar domain.
As for why their combat strength was so weak, completely unlike a third-tier alien race, the reason was simple: the warship did not carry a Totem Spirit Pillar.
To be more specific, the barbarian race follows a supernatural system known as the Totem Path. On the Blood Barbarian Continent, each Wolf Barbarian tribe has its own totem, which they revere and worship. They also engrave totem patterns on their bodies or special objects. These totem patterns are the source of their entire supernatural power.
However, it is precisely these totem patterns that made them perform so poorly in battle.
To wield their totem power, they either need to be within the range of their totem spirit's influence or carry a Totem Spirit Pillar, which contains a portion of their tribe's totem spirit's power.
In simpler terms, the Totem Spirit Pillar is like a charger or a power core. Without it, these Wolf Barbarians are virtually powerless outside their own territory.
The warship that was just completely destroyed did not carry a Totem Spirit Pillar.
After hearing this, Song Chi's confusion vanished, replaced by a hint of curiosity.
The Totem Path, totem power...
Clearly, this was a completely new supernatural system.
And what does a new supernatural system imply? It means that there is a high probability of unique Star Sea curios appearing on the floating land below.
Most Star Sea curios are formed by the environment of the fragmented Star Sea, but there are also unique curios created by special means of civilizations within the fragmented Star Sea.
These curios often carry a strong cultural style and have effects entirely different from ordinary Star Sea curios.
If such a curio can be properly utilized, it can often produce remarkable results.
With this in mind, Song Chi activated the Acoustic Silencing Field component on the warship, along with the effects of the Void Membrane component. No one would know that a hundred-meter-long steel warship was quietly descending toward the third-tier Star Sea floating land below.
The Blood Barbarian Continent is vast, and the Wolf Barbarian tribes it nurtures are even more numerous than the Blue Blood tribes on the Blue Blood Continent. Song Chi was now heading to the Iron Wind Tribe.
On the rugged land, towering peaks pierced the clouds. In the massive valley formed by three towering peaks in the eastern part of the continent, there was a Wolf Barbarian tribe famous throughout the eastern part of the continent.
The Iron Wind Tribe has a history of over five thousand years. For the past three thousand years, it has always had multiple third-tier Wolf Barbarians as its guardians, making it one of the strongest Wolf Barbarian tribes in the eastern part of the continent.
On this day, a third-tier Wolf Barbarian quietly returned to the tribe. Under Song Chi's orders, this third-tier Wolf Barbarian wandered around the edges of several secret restricted areas in the tribe.
Outside the tribe, in the main control room of the Caelum warship, Song Chi stared intently at the radar map in front of him.
After a moment's contemplation, he issued a mental command to the third-tier Wolf Barbarian inside the tribe.
"Go check out the Bone Chilled Pond!"
On the radar map displayed by the Silver Grade III Superwave Magic Energy Detector, there were three areas in the Iron Wind Tribe with the strongest energy readings.
These were the Totem Hall, the Blood Wolf Cave, and the Bone Chilled Pond.
However, due to the inability to conduct close-up detection, only a rough idea was known, so he had to send the enslaved third-tier Wolf Barbarian to investigate in person.
Following his command, the third-tier Wolf Barbarian inside the tribe turned and headed toward the Bone Chilled Pond, a restricted area of the tribe.
Although he was a third-tier Wolf Barbarian, his status within the Iron Wind Tribe was not high, and he had never been to any of these three restricted areas. He could only explore them one by one.
The reason for this was already clear from the radar map of the Silver Grade III Superwave Magic Energy Detector.
According to the information on the radar map, there were nearly thirty third-tier life form signals within the Iron Wind Tribe. With so many third-tier Wolf Barbarians, there were naturally differences in status.
As for why Song Chi didn't just steamroll through?
If they were still in space, without the Totem Spirit Pillar, the Caelum wouldn't be afraid.
However, now that they were in the heart of the enemy's base, the Wolf Barbarians could use their totem power without restraint. Without confirming the extent of the totem power's enhancement and whether it posed a significant threat to the Caelum, he would not act rashly.
