Chapter 521: The Strike
Chapter 521: The Strike
At the outer teleportation gateway of Dragon's Gorge, a common saying goes, "No matter how careful, there's always a chance for a slip."
To prevent this, the Dragon's Gorge Vein Clan had sealed the ground entrance to Dragon's Gorge City nearly two thousand years ago. Since then, the only way for the clan members to enter and exit the underground residence was through the teleportation gateway.
At this moment, in the teleportation room of the outer city, more than thirty figures gathered, all of them being the core clan members of the Dragon's Gorge Vein Clan above the fourth rank.
"Let me emphasize once again, this time..."
In front of the crowd, Song Shixing and Song Yao were still giving their final instructions. Facing the slightly puzzled Song Chi, Song Yan took the initiative to explain, "This underground star gate teleportation room is the only way for clan members to enter and exit the residence. Of course, there are five star gate teleportation rooms in Dragon's Gorge City, located in the outer city's east, south, west, north, and core zones."
"They have one thing in common; the other star gate they connect to is located in different regions, but they are all at least 100 light-years away from Dragon's Gorge City."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart, he agreed with the necessity of this method.
With this method of entering and exiting, even if they were accidentally discovered by other clans, at most, only the outer teleportation gateway would be exposed, and Dragon's Gorge City would never be put in a dangerous situation.
Song Chi even speculated that it was likely due to this cautious method of entering and exiting that the Dragon's Gorge Clan had not been exposed for nearly two thousand years.
Subsequently, Song Yan's words also confirmed this point.
Before adopting this method of entering and exiting, Dragon's Gorge City had been discovered by other clans several times. Although the clan had tried to make up for it, the main reason was that the discovered residences were all weak alien civilizations. If they were discovered by those higher civilizations, Dragon's Gorge City would undoubtedly face complete destruction, hence the change in the method two thousand years ago.
During their conversation, Song Shixing's instructions came to an end. The teleportation room located in the northern zone of the outer city was soon enveloped by spatial fluctuations.
After a subtle spatial fluctuation, Song Chi and more than thirty clan members disappeared from the teleportation room, leaving only Song Yao to stand guard.
North of Dragon's Gorge City, 132 light-years away, deep underground in a desert.
This was also an underground stone chamber, not small in size, with a length, width, and height of over 10,000 meters. In the corner of this stone chamber, a Deer Hunt Ship was docked.
As the spatial fluctuations swept over, a middle-aged clan member, who had been stationed at this teleportation point for over seven years, greeted them with a mixture of reverence and excitement.
As a fourth-rank clan elder of the Vein Clan, although he had been guarding this teleportation point for over seven years, communicating with the residence through the ship's communication components was still very convenient. Otherwise, how could he quickly notify the clan in case of emergencies?
Would they really destroy this underground teleportation point, which had cost a lot of manpower and resources to establish, just because of a minor incident?
For this reason, he had already received a notification from Dragon's Gorge City, knowing that after more than two thousand years of walking on thin ice, the family finally had the opportunity to develop comprehensively in the Crimson Star Continent.
Song Shixing reassured the somewhat excited clan elder and turned his gaze to an elder behind him.
The elder, named Song Tiansong, was the fourth-rank clan elder with the highest seniority in the Vein Clan at present.
Upon receiving the signal, Song Tiansong nodded slightly and then summoned his own ship.
After boarding the warship, dozens of beams of light surged from the warship and precisely entered the bodies of all the core clan members present.
No one resisted, knowing that this was a connection imprint emitted by a silver group stealth component. Once the connection was established, Song Shixing led the team toward the teleportation room exit.
As they rushed out of the underground, a group of more than thirty people appeared in the desert, indicating that they had left the cover of the medium-sized compound illusion space. However, with the support of the previously activated group stealth component, they didn't need to worry about being discovered by any possible alien clans nearby.
Swish, swish, swish! The glow of light flashed, and soon more than thirty Flame Ships, each with a length of at least three kilometers, appeared in the desert sky. However, to other creatures, there was no sign of anything unusual.
"Our primary target is the Fire Crow Mountains, more than 600 light-years away. Everyone, listen up! Space jump charging begins!"
...
The effectiveness of the silver group stealth component was undeniable, as the consecutive space jumps of more than thirty Flame Ships did not transmit any spatial fluctuations.
Upon successfully arriving at the outer region of the Fire Crow Mountains, the Fire Crow Clan, with a population of over a million, did not detect any anomalies.
At the forefront of more than thirty warships, the main control room of the Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon.
Song Shixing's thoughts turned, and the Cloud Peering Disc component, which had been sent from the Dragon Spine Continent over a hundred years ago, was activated by him.
As the "Cloud Peering" trait was triggered, Song Shixing deliberately projected the probing image from the depths of the Fire Crow Mountains into the magnetic wave communication group chat, allowing all the core members to clearly see the specific situation in the depths of the Fire Crow Mountains.
"It's that sixth-rank Phoenix Hawk, absorbing the vast geothermal energy in the depths of the Fire Crow Mountains!"
"Apart from the sixth-rank Phoenix Hawk, the entire Fire Crow Clan, including more than ten fifth-rank Phoenix Hawks, are all in the Fire Crow Mountains. None of them have ventured out. Ancestor, we can take action!"
...
As they watched the images appearing in the group chat, the clan members spoke one after another, especially when they saw the sixth-rank Phoenix Hawk with its astonishing wingspan in the depths of the Fire Crow Mountains, they became more eager to take action.
With both the sixth-rank and fifth-rank Phoenix Hawks present, it meant that the silver fire seed, which could be transformed into an advancement flame source, was most likely there as well. Additionally, by eliminating all the high-rank Phoenix Hawks of the Fire Crow Clan, the subsequent concealment time would be extended, giving them more time for their operations.
In comparison, Song Chi, who was on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, felt a bit envious.
The "Cloud Peering" trait of the Cloud Peering Disc was quite similar to the "Heaven's Eye" trait of the Heaven's Eye, and its effect seemed even more remarkable. After all, there was no weak geomagnetic interference in the depths of the geothermal eruption, yet the "Cloud Peering" effect was not affected at all.
After a brief moment of admiration, Song Chi quickly turned his attention back.
Although the "Cloud Peering" trait was unaffected by geomagnetic interference, its specific probing distance was far from comparable to the "Heaven's Eye" trait. According to Ancestor, the "Cloud Peering" trait, enhanced to level 60, had a maximum probing distance of only 100 million kilometers, which was vastly different from the "Heaven's Eye" trait that could probe from tens of thousands to millions, or even millions of light-years away.
Before he could think further, Song Shixing's voice echoed in the group chat.
"Little Chi, let's perform a double blockade; it's safer that way!"
"Understood!"
Soon, the Skyanchor appeared.
The Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon, a battleship of the same quality as the Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon, activated its spatial lockdown component.
Before long, a high-ranking member of the Flame Crow Clan from the central region of the distant Fire Crow Mountains finally noticed something amiss.
A Fifth Rank Flame Crow burst out from the Fire Crow Mountains, and as it soared into the sky, a massive surge of scorching flames erupted from its ten-mile-wide fiery body, shooting straight into the depths of the heavens.
Buzz!
Under the impact of this fiery energy, the inner spatial barrier activated by the Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon battleship was slightly disturbed, creating subtle spatial ripples.
However, since it was only a Fifth Rank Flame Crow that triggered it, this flame was not enough to shake the space barrier laid down by the silver-ranked components enhanced to the Sixth Rank.
Seemingly sensing the exceptional nature of this spatial barrier, the Fifth Rank Flame Crow in the sky retracted its flames, and the next second, a cry emanated from its mouth.
Although it initially sounded like a cry, by the time it spread, it had transformed into a common language of the Star Sea.
"This is the territory of the Sun Sparrow Clan's vassal, the great Flame Crow Clan. What clan dares to be so reckless here?"
As the words fell, an extreme beam of light was activated from the void.
Whoosh!
The blinding light column pierced through the void, and before the Fifth Rank Flame Crow could react, its entire head was instantly blasted into oblivion.
After being annihilated in one strike, the giant corpse of the Fifth Rank Flame Crow fell powerless, startling the millions of Flame Crows in the Fire Crow Mountains. Countless fiery figures flew out from the mountains, rushing towards the more than thirty Song Clan warships that had just exited their stealth state.
However, the Song Clan's warships did not rush to attack; only the warship of Song Tiancong at the forefront was charging its cannon attack characteristic.
In a short while, forty-two giant quantum sword beams gathered in front of it, forming the "Supreme Quantum Sword Formation" characteristic of the Supreme Quantum Blade Cannon.
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Flame Crows had already soared into the sky in the distance, gathering together—the perfect opportunity for the crowd-control characteristic of the Supreme Quantum Sword Formation to take effect.
Indeed, the Supreme Quantum Blade Cannon was the one Song Chi had unloaded from the Heavenly Destiny South Pointing Plate without damage and lent out. Although this elder of the Tiancong Clan was a hundred or two hundred years younger than Song Tianhao and Song Tianshu, he was also nearing the end of his life. Seizing this final opportunity, he wanted to attempt to challenge the battleship rank.
Therefore, Song Shixing naturally wouldn't stop him, and this was the perfect time to make use of the million Flame Crows.
Forty-two quantum sword beams roared out, sweeping through the hundreds of thousands of crimson Flame Crows. Inside Song Tiancong's warship, prompts kept sounding, and the success rate of the newly activated warship promotion task panel was slowly rising.
Aside from the Supreme Quantum Sword Formation, everyone waited for Song Tiancong to activate all the attack characteristics of the cannons on his warship before taking action.
Wave after wave of energy explosion shockwaves swept through, finally stirring the Sixth Rank Flame Crow deep beneath the mountains.
A sharp cry emanated from the depths of the Fire Crow Mountains, followed by a giant red phantom surging into the sky.
However, before this experienced Sixth Rank lifeform could fully unleash its power, two unique chains emerged from the void, precisely entangling it.
The Bloodstained Divine Chain of the Divine Binding Chain
The Heaven Imprisonment Chain of the Skyanchor Seal
One red and one silver, both enhanced to the upper limit of their component ranks, their binding power was unimaginable.
In an instant, the Sixth Rank Flame Crow that had soared into the sky came to a complete halt. No matter how much it tried to unleash the Flame Law and energy within its body, it couldn't break free from the restraints of the two chains in a short time.
After a few seconds, three beams of light pierced through.
The three beams of light came from three different warships.
Song Chi's Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Shixing's Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon, and Song Yan's Crimson Flame Cook Sea.
Interestingly, although all three used their attack characteristics, they only employed the main cannon attack characteristic and not the super main cannon.
This resulted in the Sixth Rank Flame Crow being severely injured but not directly killed.
However, this was precisely their intention, leaving the final blow to Song Tiancong.
With the Sixth Rank Flame Crow easily slain, cleaning up the rest of the Flame Crow flock was just a matter of time. Fortunately, at this moment, each Song Clan warship released ten Hellfire Battle Armors, and with the assistance of over three hundred Fourth Rank Hellfire Battle Armors, the cleaning speed significantly increased.
A few hours later, the entire Flame Crow Clan was thoroughly eliminated by the Song Clan, and the collection and inventory of the entire Fire Crow Mountains' resources were also completed.
In the magnetic wave communication group chat, the clan member in charge of the inventory quickly posted the data in the group.
The initial scavenged resources were as follows:
Star Sea Artifacts in the thousands: Among them, one silver Advancement Flame Source, five red Advancement Flame Sources, twenty-six orange Advancement Flame Sources, one silver artifact that could be transformed into an Energy Shield, thirty-two red artifacts, three hundred and ten orange artifacts, and purple and below artifacts close to five thousand.
Two strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Essence, six thousand eight hundred strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Essence, one hundred and twenty thousand strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Essence...
Additionally, one Golden Law Crystal, one Earth Law Crystal, several Fire Attribute Materials, and tens of thousands of tons of various mineral resources...
Lastly, they discovered one large Flame Cloud Crystal Vein, one medium Flame Copper Vein, and seven small Fire Attribute Veins...
As Song Chi scanned through these data, his interest quickly waned.
Among these items, the most valuable was the silver Advancement Flame Source, but unfortunately, he no longer needed it.
What surprised Song Chi was that compared to the Celestial Star Civilization, the Flame Crow Clan's resources were evidently much richer.
Although they had a Sixth Rank unit in command, it's important to remember that they also had to continuously offer tributes to the Sun Sparrow Clan above them. After considering this, Song Chi could only attribute the abundance to the inherent richness of the Eighth-grade Floating Land, which further ignited his eagerness.
According to the Vein Clan, the Flame Crow Clan had only occupied the Fire Crow Mountains for a short time, appearing in the Crimson Star Continent within the last thousand years.
A clan with only a Sixth Rank unit and a development period of merely a thousand years already surpassed the ten-thousand-year-old Celestial Star Civilization in terms of foundation. What about the other Sixth Rank alien civilizations?
As he was thinking, the discussion in the group chat had already begun.
Unsurprisingly, Song Shixing directly claimed the silver Advancement Flame Source.
"I won't be polite about this silver Advancement Flame Source..."
Naturally, no one objected, as if Song Shixing could enhance the Flame Seed to silver quality, the combat power of his warship would significantly increase, which was of utmost importance to the entire Vein Clan.
After Song Shixing obtained the Advancement Flame Source, everyone's attention turned to Song Yan and Song Chi.
However, the result was somewhat unexpected, as both of them shook their heads.
