Chapter 225: Bailin Continent - Re-Entering the Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship
Chapter 225: Bailin Continent - Re-Entering the Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship
The location marked by the six relay warships as a spatial beacon was at the heart of the Bailin civilization, directly below them was the only ③-grade life Floating Land in the Bailin Star Region: the Bailin Continent.
The Bailin Continent stretches two million kilometers east to west and one and a half million kilometers north to south. It is neither like the Soul Spirit Floating Land, which has already reached the threshold of a ④-grade Floating Land, nor like the Silver Spear Floating Land, which has just ascended to a ③-grade Floating Land. It is a standard ③-grade life Floating Land.
Soon after the six relay warships appeared in the sky above the Floating Land, Song Chi and the other six Second Rank Flame Torch Warship Captains quickly summoned their respective warships.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the dozen or so warships were about to descend, Song Chi's voice suddenly echoed.
Onboard the Cobalt Number, Song Chao asked:
"Xiao Chi, what's the matter?"
Song Chi's gaze was fixed on the radar map beside him, a faint sneer appearing on his face.
"I've found a rat hiding in a dark corner. Give me a moment!"
With that, the Cobalt Number shot out, heading towards a mountain range on the continent below.
For ordinary Flame Torch Warships, performing a carpet search on a ③-grade Floating Land would be extremely difficult. However, for the Cobalt Number, it was a simple task.
With the "mana detection" feature of the [Silver III Generation Ultrasonic Mana Detection Radar], all objects emitting energy fluctuations were exposed, as long as they weren't buried hundreds of meters underground.
In the northern region of the Bailin Continent, as the Cobalt Number landed above a mountain, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon at the ship's bow suddenly fired.
Without using the "Mixed Cave Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light," even a regular cannon shot from the already enhanced to level 40 [Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon] was more than enough to destroy ordinary Third Rank combat units.
Indeed, after three consecutive shots, the hidden base inside the mountain was completely destroyed, along with the Third Rank Bailin civilization starship hidden within.
The Second Rank Flame Torch Warships, such as the Cobalt Number and the Black Sea, also landed:
"Xiao Chi, how did it go?"
Song Chi nodded.
"A Third Rank Bailin civilization warship, taken care of!"
Upon hearing this, Song Hai and Song Chao's expressions changed slightly.
The Bailin Continent was a region that Song Ming Song and Song Shan had focused on cleaning up. Yet, even so, it still harbored remnants of the Third Rank Bailin civilization. This suggested that other Floating Lands might have even more.
Thinking of this, Song Hai and Song Chao discussed for a moment before saying:
"Xiao Chi, your warship can accurately locate these remaining Bailin units. Spend more time and thoroughly search the entire continent."
"Understood!"
After Song Chi nodded, Song Hai continued:
"Since there are still many Bailin remnants, let's not send any more clan members to other Floating Lands for now. Focus on developing this Bailin Continent. With us here to guard, nothing should go wrong!"
"The Bailin Continent is a ③-grade Floating Land with many resource points, enough to sustain our tens of thousands of people for a long time. We'll wait for Dad to finish his ascension before making further plans."
"Understood!"
After the order was given, the six relay warships also descended to the Floating Land below.
They did not land in the same area. Apart from the cruiser and one of the frigates landing in the former core city of the Bailin civilization, "City of Ten Thousand Spirits," the other four relay warships each landed in different regions of the Floating Land.
Each was accompanied by a frigate from the clan, responsible for subsequent regional garrison duties, ensuring maximum development efficiency.
Over the next few days, Song Chi piloted the Cobalt Number around the entire Bailin Continent, clearing several more hidden bases of the remaining Bailin remnants.
However, these were all small to medium-sized bases, and no more Third Rank Bailin units were discovered.
...
In the City of Ten Thousand Spirits, inside a mechanical skyscraper.
This was the place where Dad and Uncle Song had arranged for Song Chi to seclude himself. After clearing most of the hidden bases on the Bailin Continent, Song Chi returned here.
On the top floor, in his personal room, Song Chi entered the Ruins Market and resumed his cultivation of the guiding technique.
Although he was eager to explore the ancient star battlefield again, the monthly exploration buffer period couldn't be rushed.
Moreover, for the next interstellar exploration, he needed to first travel through the Ruins Market's spatial beacon to the Blood Savage Continent, leave a beacon mark there, and then transfer the spatial beacon back to the Bailin Continent.
Only then could he activate the [Spatial Beacon Emitter] for his second interstellar exploration over a month later.
Song Chi stood before the imprint on the component, and he would have to wait another month and a half before he could officially head to the asteroid belt, as he had spent a considerable amount of time in the Ancient Star Battlefield.
Of course, Song Chi wasn’t overly anxious. The second beacon imprint on this [Holy Cross Beacon] component wouldn’t cool down for another four months, which helped offset the waiting time.
...
In the Ruin City, the All-Attribute Cultivation Room wouldn’t cool down for another four months, which helped offset the waiting time.
However, before he formally began his cultivation, he took out a thousand-year-old Fire Thorn Fruit, ate it in one bite, and then started his Guiding Technique cultivation.
A few days later, when he emerged from the cultivation room, the aura emanating from his body had grown significantly stronger.
If there were outsiders present, they would surely notice that his Guiding Technique had advanced from level 22 to level 23.
The effect of the thousand-year-old Fire Thorn Fruit, while not as potent as the fifteen-hundred-year-old Deepwater Clam Pearl, still saved him at least a year of arduous cultivation.
Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, a month and a half had gone by.
During this period, the Ruin City held another trading session, but there were no unexpected gains. However, the Ruin City successfully met the conditions for advancement, upgrading from level 26 to level 27.
Additionally, Song Chi obtained five Fire Thorn Fruits from the fire elemental life form in exchange for a large amount of fire-attribute materials.
Four were a thousand years old, and one was two thousand years old.
Song Chi was very satisfied with this.
For him at this stage, the Fire Thorn Fruits were of great use.
Sure enough, over the course of a month and a half, his Guiding Technique advanced further, from level 23 to level 24.
However, with the consumption of these five Fire Thorn Fruits, only three remained. He estimated that these three would allow his Guiding Technique to advance by two more levels, reaching level 26.
There was no help for it; the more advanced the Guiding Technique became, the harder it was to cultivate.
He didn’t forget to continue his transactions with the fire elemental life form, urging it to obtain more Fire Thorn Fruits.
To facilitate this transaction, he had previously withdrawn another 500,000 ordinary achievement points from his 1.5 million total, exchanging them for fire-attribute materials, which were now piled up in the storage room of the Ruin City.
However, from the difficult expression on the fire elemental life form’s face, it was clear that obtaining more Fire Thorn Fruits would not be easy.
Thinking about this, Song Chi could only sigh silently.
It was fortunate that he could still use the Body Tempering Ointment in conjunction with advanced Body Tempering Elixirs to aid his cultivation, along with the All-Attribute Cultivation Room, which made his progress several times faster than that of an ordinary Flame Vessel Captain.
With this consolation, he stepped out of the high-rise building and summoned the Cobalt Number, soaring into the sky.
Today was the second time he would explore an alien star region since arriving on the Bailin Continent. A month ago, he had already set a spatial beacon on the Blood Savage Continent using the [Holy Cross Beacon] component.
Before setting out, he had set the spatial anchor point of the Ruin City in his room below and left the re-enslaved Togu Hong to monitor the situation on the Bailin Continent.
With everything prepared, he could now explore the Ancient Star Battlefield with complete peace of mind.
Song Chi felt a bit excited, or perhaps it was anticipation.
He had never extinguished his desire to explore that terrifying Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship.
The suspected independent breeding chamber's starry sky plant, the Silver Apple Mother Tree, still left a deep impression on him.
With this thought, Song Chi began the interstellar deployment and activated the beacon imprint located in the core space of a giant asteroid in the asteroid belt.
As a sharp dizziness washed over him, when he regained his senses, the Cobalt Number was inside the asteroid's core space.
Not far ahead, the familiar wreckage of the Tri-Eye ancient starship, and the half-step Fourth Rank humanoid alien stood respectfully by its side.
Song Chi nodded and didn’t rush to enter the star wormhole.
"Go and summon a Third Rank humanoid alien!"
Although he had killed all the ordinary Third Rank humanoid aliens who were guarding the area, many who had been out hunting in the asteroid belt had survived. These fortunate Third Rank aliens had since been pacified by the half-step Fourth Rank humanoid alien.
Two days later, on the other side of the spatial wormhole, the Cobalt Number hung motionless.
As before, Song Chi did not have the Cobalt Number charge out of the wormhole, but chose the safest method.
Looking out at the surroundings, Song Chi’s brows instinctively furrowed.
It was evident that over the past few months, the spatial rifts at the periphery of this ancient star battlefield had advanced a considerable distance towards the center of the battlefield. Although it would still take nearly a decade for them to completely engulf this starfield, the rapid spread was still a source of urgency for Song Chi.
"We need to act quickly!"
Thinking this, Song Chi scanned the ancient corpses scattered in the starfield.
After a moment of contemplation, he decided not to rush to collect these ancient corpses for several reasons.
Firstly, his primary focus was still on the terrifying giant ship, which was over ten thousand kilometers long.
Secondly, to collect these ancient corpses, the Cobalt Number would have to leave the wormhole and enter the outer starfield, which was clearly dangerous.
Thirdly, the route for collecting these ancient corpses needed to be carefully planned. Although the hidden law patterns could not cause significant damage to the corpses, Song Chi was concerned about the risk to himself. Therefore, he needed the asteroid belt creatures to clear a relatively safe area first.
Soon, many humanoid aliens led a large number of asteroid belt creatures to begin the careful clearing of the area, following the orders of the near-Fourth Rank humanoid alien from before.
Ignoring these creatures, Song Chi stood before the Fixed Point Deployment Platform and, according to the coordinates of the last deployment several months ago, deployed all four Level 40 Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
After a subtle spatial fluctuation, the four Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees were successfully deployed near the Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship without triggering any spatial rifts or hidden law patterns.
Following Song Chi’s brainwave beacon command, the four Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees headed straight for the familiar ship hull crack.
Inside the Cobalt Number, even though he had witnessed it once before a few months ago, Song Chi was still filled with amazement as he looked up at the ship for the second time.
Without even considering the length of the ancient warship, just standing at its base and looking up, one could not see the top of the ship.
This was enough to prove the terrifying size of the ancient warship.
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi stopped thinking about it and focused on controlling the four Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees as they approached the ship.
Suddenly, the Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees, following the same route as before, seemed to trigger something. Despite Song Chi’s immediate command to evade, and despite these Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees being at the Fourth Rank, they had no resistance against the hidden law pattern that had changed position.
Soon, the Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree at the front was completely annihilated by the terrifying power of the law pattern.
The remaining three puppet trees could only try to avoid the location of the law pattern and move closer to the crack again.
With extreme caution, they finally reached the ship hull crack without any further incidents.
"Go in!"
Song Chi issued the command without hesitation. Two of the Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Trees took the lead, stepping into the crack, and the one Song Chi’s brainwave was attached to followed closely behind.
Inside the Cobalt Number, Song Chi instinctively held his breath, remembering vividly how the Third Rank Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree had been instantly crushed into fragments.
However, he had clearly overestimated the danger. Under the enhanced Fourth Rank Level 40 puppet body, the oppressive aura inside the super colossal flagship, though terrifying, was not enough to crush them directly.
However, Song Chi could still hear faint cracking sounds.
Clearly, even the Fourth Rank puppet body was not entirely safe under such a terrifying aura.
Song Chi's heart raced, a thought flashing through his mind.
"Is the aura of a Sixth Rank creature really that astonishing, or is it...?"
As he thought, he turned the Void Shadow Assassin Puppet Tree’s gaze to the left, towards the suspected cultivation chamber.
He was still highly interested in the plant suspected to be the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
