Astral Ants

There is only one quota for the fourth-level chamber of commerce, two for the fifth-level chamber of commerce, and three for the sixth-level chamber of commerce, which seems pitifully small.

But if you count carefully, there are quite a few chambers of commerce above level four.

The key point of chamber of commerce upgrade is the source point.

Throughout the entire Baijing Galaxy, there are more than 280 third-level source points; the second-level source points are still in the evolution stage, with only more than 10,000, a slightly smaller number; there are about 700,000 to 800,000 first-level source points.

There are hundreds of millions of level zero source points, as numerous as stars, but many of them are occupied by old chambers of commerce that entered the Baijing Galaxy early on to open up new territories and gained first-mover advantage.

Occupy a level zero source point and gather about 1000 wild God-given seeds to upgrade to a level four guild.

According to rough estimates, there are millions of fourth-level chambers of commerce.

There are also a large number of level five and level six chambers of commerce.

Participation quota can be transferred, bought and sold.

On the Baijing Galaxy side, the number of participating warriors is probably as high as millions.

There are a total of 100 battlefields, 50 each in the Star Realm and the Host Realm, and it is expected to last for 10 years, which may require overtime.

In the end, 3000 warriors were selected from each of the Star Realm and the Host Realm to go to the Dawn Galaxy to participate in the war.

In the Baijing Galaxy, since there are too many bugs, they use the 'semi-real battlefield, life and death duel'.

The so-called "semi-reality" is actually a more advanced "virtual universe" with a nearly 100% degree of restoration.

The participating fighters enter the 'cocoon nest', read the information of the body and the star core, and condense the 'energy state true body' on the field.

Just like the Black Thorn Tower, auxiliary items other than your own strength cannot be brought into the battlefield, such as technological star cores, artist armor, and titanium sand biological weapon transformation...

Selection Rules:

Players will enter the game in order of numbers, and will be randomly matched. It will be a one-on-one life-and-death duel. The one who kills the target will win, and the target must be killed within the limited time.

For each battlefield, the selection competition is divided into two stages:

The first stage,

Audition,
After losing a battle, one of the veins on the golden leaves on the forehead will turn gray-black, and if there are two veins, you will be eliminated.

In the battle, life and death must be determined within 6 hours, otherwise it will be a lose-lose situation.

All participating fighters will take turns to fight until the number of fighters in the battle zone is reduced to 3000.

Into the second stage,

The southern and northern theaters were merged, with 6000 soldiers taking turns fighting.

After losing 3 games in total, he was eliminated directly due to the 3 gray-black veins on his leaves.

The target must be defeated within 3 days, otherwise both parties will lose.

After winning a battle, the golden elm leaf mark on the forehead lights up a green vein.

In each battlefield, the 12 warriors who first light up 60 green leaf veins will be qualified to go to the Dawn Galaxy to participate in the war.

Fifty battlefields, a total of 3000 places.

...

On the audience stage,

Longbai, Baiwei and their group of insects chatted idly and waited for half a month, but Molan, who had entered the inner battlefield to report, did not come out.

It is speculated that he went directly into the 'cocoon nest' and became familiar with the 'semi-real battlefield' environment.

In the preliminary stage, the strength of Mo Lan and Hong Feng was unquestionable.

The insects fell into a deep sleep and hibernated peacefully.

...

...

Two years passed in a flash.

A subtle, gentle, and powerful spiritual force swept over.
The dormant cypress was awakened.

Looking around, all the other insects woke up at the same time. Without exception, they all raised their antennae and subconsciously looked around to check the situation.

The soul-fixing ability sensed that within a radius of 10,000 kilometers, the suspended metal plates were filled with Zerg warriors of various shapes and sizes who were watching the battle.

Open your StarNet account and check the time.

[78th Era - 174th Yuan - 990 - January]

"Get up! Get up! Get up!"

"It's begun! It's begun!"

"My lord, it will begin soon."

Juniper, who had been quiet for a long time, jumped up excitedly, "When will the second king come on stage?"

"According to my estimation, in the first stage, all participating fighters will only be able to fight once a year. If there are too many lazy fighters and too many evenly matched fighters, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to fight once a year..."

"so slow?"

"No. Impossible."

"I guess that random matching is not completely random. They will probably analyze the strength of the star cores in secret, match the strong and the weak, and quickly eliminate those bugs that don't have the strength to join in the fun."

"Very likely!"

"As it should be!"

"That's not right~ Qing Maple?"

"Why are you here?"

"Qing Feng, shouldn't you be supporting Hong Feng at battlefield 014?"

"When did you run away?"

"You still dare to speak?"

"What about the red maple?"

"If I were Red Maple, I would break up with you!"

"..."

The insects were working together to condemn Qing Feng's treacherous behavior. The inner layer of the giant spherical barrier with a diameter of 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers was lit up with a nine-color halo, and the dazzling light flashed three times slowly.

Holographic projection.

A planet-sized, earth-yellow spider appeared...

"Forehead……"

"I……"

"go……"

"Who is this?"

"Who are you trying to scare?"

"What an ugly spider!"

"Who gave it the courage to hang itself up for public display?"

The whole audience was shocked and cursed, and the next moment, the noisy spectator stands fell silent.

Bai Wei and the other Watase Flame Spiders: "..."

"Hello, Zerg friends from the Baijing Galaxy!"

"Thank you all for coming. Thank you all for participating and watching the match and supporting the Daylight Sea Arena Battle..."

The holographically projected giant spider gently swung its front legs, and heavy and peaceful mental power and thoughts came from all directions.

"My name is May. I work in the Technology Department of the Beiai Chamber of Commerce, responsible for starship design and development. You can call me President May. I was commissioned by the Dusk Tree to host the preliminary round of the Daylight Sea Arena Battle in the White Crystal Galaxy."

"Thank you to the Holy Butterfly Tribe for your hospitality and support, and thank you to our friends at the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce for providing the communication technology support..."

Various thanks and a long nonsense.

Once the holographic projection is changed,
It was replaced by an image of a planet-sized Holy Butterfly tribe warrior, and all sorts of hypocritical polite words of thanks and support.

The holographic projection is changed again.
A certain master-level manager from the Chonglou Chamber of Commerce came to speak again. This guy was even more outrageous. He promoted his chamber’s star spiders to the hundreds of millions of insects watching the battle...

Next came the manager of the Moluan Chamber of Commerce. This guy was even more direct. Without any polite words, he started to promote the newly designed survival mothership for deep space exploration developed by his chamber of commerce...

This is a grand gathering that brings together almost all the warriors and managers of tribes, big and small, in the White Crystal Galaxy. By doing publicity here, information can be transmitted to the insects of the entire galaxy with the highest efficiency.

The opening ceremony quickly deviated and turned into an advertisement for the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce...

The angry and abusive mental energy in the audience gathered like a wave, one after another...

Half a day later,
at last,

President May appeared again and announced the official start of the competition.

One hundred battlefields were held separately, divided into the northern and southern war zones.

The 013 battlefield, the northern war zone, is hosted by a warrior from the Holy Butterfly tribe in Sujing.

First round,
[Pearl Walking Beetle Warrior Tian Honglian] - Battle - [Three-pronged Giant Beetle Warrior Wei Chi]

A hemispherical battlefield with a diameter of nearly 50,000 kilometers, a random life world environment, and random sea battle scenes.

Heavy rain,

The waves are rough,

A ground beetle warrior with an oval body and a purple-red dark blue shell with a metallic luster.

An oversized beetle warrior that is completely black with a light silver sheen, has three long spears on its head, and is seven or eight meters long.

The two insects ignored the waves and hung steadily on the sea, observing and examining each other from a distance of four or five kilometers.

It was obvious that both insects were not good at water-related abilities.

However, after evolving to the peak of the stellar realm, the impact of the external environment on one's own abilities is no longer that great.

The trident beetle warrior named Wedge Wing took the lead, a layer of light silver halo rose from the surface of its body, and suddenly, a strong copper-green light burst out, and its body turned into a green light, full of murderous intent, and rushed straight towards the pearl walking beetle warrior named 'Tian Honglian'.

The trident beetle warrior awakens his strength talent.

The Wedge Wing system is obviously based on close combat.

The Pearl Walker Warrior awakens the fire or wood talent.

Tian Honglian was clearly an awakened fire type, and was good at elemental power confrontation. Facing the giant beetle that was charging at her with great momentum, she stood still, with the lotus-shaped star spots on her forehead flickering, and she lightly waved her antennae.

Lotus buds formed at the tips of the tentacles and flew out.

boom!
boom!
boom!
There are also sound amplification equipment hidden in the dark corners of the auditorium to highly reproduce the sounds of the battlefield.

The insects in the stands felt as if they were there themselves. Amid the explosions, bright red lotuses blossomed and faint flames and heat waves swept past one after another.

The sea water was ignited.
A large area of ​​sea turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the bright red flames rising into the sky completely obscured the traces of the two fighting insects.

In the audience seats, the insects watching the battle were preparing to use their visual abilities to search, but they saw the pearl walking beetle warrior Tian Honglian floating up with a flaming lotus pod under his feet, looking calm.

Raise your claws and wave them.

The sea of ​​fire below rapidly converged and compressed into a fireball in an instant.

Faintly visible, in the fireball, the giant beetle warrior was struggling in pain.

The Pearl Walker Warrior exerted his strength suddenly.
The bright red flames burst out, and then suddenly shrank. The three-pronged beetle warrior was obviously under the pressure of high temperature, the surface defense was broken, the shell defense was broken, the body was ignited, and it burned rapidly into ashes.

The battle is over.

The holographic projection scene changed, and the big words read: [Pearl Walking Bug Warrior Tian Honglian wins]

The projection of the Saint Butterfly Warrior who presided over the match appeared, and announced the result of the battle with his vibrating mental power, and also announced the second battle:
[Humped Double Bow Warrior White Back] - Battle - [New Moon Wearing Spring Ting Warrior Belt Wood]

Random space battlefield, material belt, meteorite, dust, and ice debris environment.

The Crescent Moon warrior named Daimu Dai Chunting blended into the darkness and disappeared as soon as he entered the battlefield.

The next moment, it appeared above the head of the camel-humped double-bow armored warrior Baibei, with its six legs intertwined and flashed away, leaving six holes.

Two more dark lights flashed by.

Before the humped double-bowed warrior had a chance to see the other party's appearance clearly, his white-backed head moved.

There was a huge disparity in strength between the two combatants, and the battle ended in less than two seconds after it began, before all the insects could react.

Then the third game...

...

Qing Feng’s previous analysis was absolutely correct.

When the matching system enters the information of the participating soldiers, it secretly assesses their evolutionary level and the strength of their star cores, and divides them into two groups: strong and weak.

Strong and weak groups were randomly matched.

The one-sided battle lasted from a few seconds to a few minutes, quickly eliminating those warriors who had poor star core combat capabilities and whose evolutionary level was not even at the 7th age of the star realm, and who were just there to join in the fun.

The battle was a crushing one without any suspense; the insects in the stands soon lost interest and became drowsy.

...

"Food. Food. Human specialties for sale at a low price."

"Food. Food. Both meat and vegetables. Meat patties, meatballs, raw and cooked meat, dried fruit, fresh fruit..."

At this time, there were small traveling Flame Spider merchants, driving cargo Star Spiders, selling the special delicacies produced by human civilization.

The flavor is unique and the price is not expensive.

Long Bai and Bai Wei greeted everyone, purchased a large batch of insects and distributed them to everyone. Everyone ate, watched and chatted to pass the time.

Five days later,
A large group of insects, including juniper, silver cypress, and poison bean, suddenly jumped up excitedly.

"Second King!"

"The Second King is here!"

"The two kings are mighty!"

"The Second King..."

"Won."

"..."

The battle begins.

Molan appeared for a moment.

When all the insects reacted and looked over, they could only see that the one fighting against Molan was a Ichneumon wasp warrior with cool red and gold patterns.

The wasp's head is missing.

The battle is over.

...

A knockout match with little excitement.

One month later,
Molan's second appearance was still fleeting.

Gradually, some fighters started to be defeated twice and were eliminated according to the rules.

In battlefield No. 013, the total number of soldiers participating in the South and North theaters was halved from about 10 to just over 5.

Another month later,
Molan's third appearance.
The number of soldiers in battlefield 013 dropped sharply to less than 4.

The gap between the strong and the weak is still obvious, but instant kills rarely occur. Most battles are back-and-forth and it takes several rounds to decide the winner. On average, each battle lasts more than a minute.

There are various shapes and sizes that are eye-catching, and new and practical abilities emerge in an endless stream.

The insects, led by Longbai, also adjusted their attitude and watched the battle attentively.

After more than half a year of rotation battles and continuous elimination, the number of soldiers in battlefield No. 013 was halved again to less than .

The worst of the remaining ones are also elite fighters at the peak of the Star Realm, and the duration of each battle is greatly extended.

After another three years of rotation fighting, in battlefield No. 013, the Southern Theater was the first to complete the elimination, retaining the last 3000 soldiers.

Half a month later, the Northern Theater also completed the first stage of elimination.

The North and South theaters merged and entered the second stage.
6000 warriors began to fight.

The battle instantly became intense and exciting, with waves of exclamations, cheers and shouts from the audience rising one after another.

...

...

"Second King!"

"It's finally the Second King's turn!"

"This is the second king's fourth battle..."

"what!"

"Isn't that the first warrior in foot armor to go into battle?"

"Who noticed? What's its name? This bug seems to have some abilities."

"Pearl Walking Bug Warrior, Tian Honglian."

"I noticed it too. This bug is pretty powerful!"

"I've noticed it before. His specialization in fire abilities is on par with Sang's."

"Is that still impressive?"

"..."

While talking and laughing,
The battle begins.

A huge desolate planet with random dim light, a gray-black battlefield with barren mountains and stone forests.

Molan immediately merged into the shadows and disappeared.

Next second,
Tian Honglian, who was standing in place, shrank his body, and a dark lotus bud formed, covering his entire body. The black lotus blossomed, and the black petals with bright red flame patterns stretched out layer by layer. The bright red flames expanded at the speed of light, and the standing stone pillars were ignited like rotten wood, and the raging fire swayed and rose.

The terrifying high temperature penetrates the inner energy shield,
The air at the same pressure as the viewing platform and the life planet was burning and flowing, and the light and shadows shook and distorted.

On the battlefield, Molan, who was sneaking up on her, failed in his attack and turned into a streak of red lightning and rushed at a high speed.

"!!!"

Led by Longbai, all the insects in Xianglan Mountain were startled and stood up nervously.

The audience in the stands screamed and cheered.

From afar, on the dim dark planet and the gray-black earth, a giant black lotus bloomed angrily, with bright red flames dancing and emitting intense red light.

Its properties are somewhat similar to the ability of 'Source Fire', but its destructive power is a million times stronger.

The ultimate flame evolution path!

Don't touch this fire at all!

This pearl bug warrior named 'Tian Honglian' is extremely powerful and extremely strong!
Under normal circumstances, at the peak of the Stellar Realm, the limit of mental power should be 40 to 50 kilometers. Correspondingly, the coverage range of the area attack capability should be only to kilometers.

The petal-shaped flames erupting from the black lotus instantly spread to cover a radius of over 300 kilometers.

Molan's ability of spatial teleportation was limited, and he narrowly escaped the coverage area of ​​the ability. With a flash of lightning, he landed on a mountain among the towering crowd, looked down from above, and scanned with his soul-fixing ability.

With a start, he flapped his wings and flew into the air.

Lower your head and look.

In the mountains below, countless black lotus buds of normal size broke out of the ground, bloomed, and burned.

The heat is rolling,

With a roar, the mountains turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The pearl beetle warrior Tian Honglian must have noticed Molan a long time ago and realized how powerful Molan was, so he did not hold back at all and used his strongest killing move right away.

Incredible fire ability,

The entire northern hemisphere battlefield was covered with flowers, countless black lotus buds emerged from the ground, the fire spread at the speed of light, and half of the giant planet with a diameter of nearly 30,000 kilometers turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Semi-real battlefield,
Both warring parties are energy entities.

The battle scenes and combat capabilities are real scenes that are converted and simulated through technological equipment with the help of energy provided by the strong people in the Domination Realm.

It is still a hemispheric battlefield, with the northern and southern hemispheres moving in parallel and synchronously.

In the audience stands, a large number of soldiers could not withstand the impact of the high temperature and launched their defensive capabilities to resist.

“Is this a truly random match?”

"Why did you match such a powerful bug to Molan?"

"What is the Second King flying?"

"Use your ability to counterattack quickly!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill~!"

"..."

The dragon cypress waved its tentacles and whipped them like lightning, knocking down the juniper, silver cypress, poisonous bean and other impetuous guys.

battlefield,

Mo Lan was speeding high in the sky, obviously having lost the trace of Tian Honglian and was searching for her. At the same time, he was also observing and analyzing the other party's ability.

suddenly,

In the sea of ​​fire below, flames rose high, and countless lotus petals danced in the sky, rising upwards with the fire.

An ultra-large-scale attack with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers exploded in an instant and submerged Mo Lan, then suddenly shrank and turned into a black lotus bud with bright red veins.

The pillar of fire shot up into the sky and connected with the black lotus bud, transmitting infinite energy. The black lotus bud that trapped Mo Lan was continuously compressed and quickly solidified.

——This ability is incredible!

——Burn matter to convert attack energy!
——It is equivalent to burning half of a giant planet and turning it into attack force to trap and kill!

——Where is Molan?

——Why is there no sign of counterattack or struggle?

——The second king who is known to be invincible won’t fall here, right?
Long Bai's heart skipped a beat.

The large group of insects from Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce who were watching and helping in the battle were all dumbfounded. (End of this chapter)
