National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 512: Hidden Vein Secrets: Super Dimensional Continent
Everyone in the Song family was very satisfied with this result.

The time buffer of two to three hundred years is enough for the Dinghai Longxiang to complete all the preliminary preparations for attacking the star destroyer. In this way, it would be great whether this Black Devouring King Beast is used as fuel for promotion or enslaved by Song Chi in the future.

In comparison, killing directly is obviously not the best option at this moment.

It has been less than a hundred years since the end of the pioneering war, and the Song family has made considerable gains. However, it will take some time to turn them into the foundation of the Dinghai Longxiang.

"Alright, the Black Devouring King Beast has been sealed for two hundred years. After two hundred years, when the Dinghai Longxiang has made final preparations for the upgrade, we will then find a way to completely resolve the issue. Now let's go back to the Dragon Ridge Continent first..."

As they spoke, everyone waited for Song Chi to take the three thousand Hellfire mechas back to the battleship, and then they returned directly to the Dragon Ridge Continent via the [Dimensional Space Stone] and the Zhutian Market.

It was not until they returned to their own territory that they were able to cancel the effects of several space blockade components on the battleship.

Silently, the foggy star zone in the Huntian Star Domain returned to normal. Even if a captain accidentally broke into the empty zone, he would not be able to find any abnormality.

Deep in the Dragon Ridge Mountain, the ancestral temple of the family.

Shrouded in the fog of chaos, everyone began to summarize this action.

"The reason why this happened is ultimately a matter of strength. If it weren't for Xiaochi, we wouldn't even have had the chance to seal it in the end and would have had to retreat in disgrace!"

Everyone listened attentively, and no one spoke up to refute it. This was the fact.

Then Song Wujiang continued:
"There are quite a few silver parts in the clan's secret vault. Shiyuan's [Acala] is quite capable, but Shixing and Xingru, you two..."

He stopped talking here, but the meaning was very clear.

"The next priority is naturally to continue to extract the core of the Alien Domain Floating Land Origin, and accelerate the process of Dragon Spine Continent becoming a Level 6 Peak Floating Land as much as possible. The second priority is to obtain the Silver Upgraded Fire Source and the Level 7 Silver Apple!"

Having said that, Song Wujiang glanced at Song Chi.

Although the family has been mobilizing all its energy to acquire the heartwood of the sixth-order starry sky plant, the two had a detailed conversation before and knew that if they wanted the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to break through the seventh order, the heartwood of the sixth-order starry sky plant alone would most likely not be enough. It could only allow the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to reach the peak of the sixth order.

As for why the previous two promotions were so easy, it was only because the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] originally degenerated from the sixth level.

Based on this, the two speculated that in order for the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to break through the seventh level, it would only need the heartwood of a seventh-level starry sky plant, or even more than one.

In this way, the promotion of the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to the seventh level will not be completed in a short period of time, let alone producing seventh-level [Silver Apples].

In comparison, the family is currently in urgent need of a seventh-level [Silver Apple].

Although the [Origin Core Stealing Device] component is sufficient for the moment, the same applies to the promotion of the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to the seventh level.

If the Dragon Spine Continent wants to be promoted to a Level 7 floating land, it is not enough to rely on the Level 6 floating land origin core alone. Not to mention a whole Level 7 floating land origin core, but at least one or two percent of the whole Level 7 floating land origin core must be provided. Only in this way can the Dragon Spine Continent take this as an opportunity to quickly impact the Level 7 floating land.

Otherwise, with only some level 5 and 6 floating land origin cores, the Dragon Ridge Continent would have to settle for at least a thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, before it could be promoted to a level 7 floating land, and this is something the Song family does not want to see.

……

After some communication, a number of secret family supreme orders were sent to all fourth-level elders of the family, including thousands of second- and third-level core members of the family, through the Song family's exclusive quantum communication bracelets, with Dragon Ridge Mountain as the center.

Under these orders, the giant Song family quickly targeted the "Silver Upgraded Fire Source" and the "Seventh-Level Silver Apple" and began to operate at full capacity, and a large amount of dark energy under the family was mobilized.

While all the branches of the Song family were operating at full capacity, Song Chi was able to relax for a rare moment.

Song Shixing needs to collect a large amount of resources for the Hidden Vein, and he also has many other things to deal with. It is said that he will have to stay in the Dragon Ridge Continent for at least 10 to 20 years.

There is no other way around this. I heard that the cost of a round trip to the Hidden Vein is not low. Naturally, I have to take this opportunity to purchase all the resources needed from the Hidden Vein at once.

For this purpose, Song Shixing took the initiative to borrow the [Dimensional Space Stone] from Song Chi, in order to be able to hold more items.
In addition, Song Chi also learned some relevant information about the hidden veins from the conversations of several ancestors.

It is said that the number of people under Yinmai has reached tens of millions, and they all live on the same floating land in the alien star region, but don't underestimate that floating land.

According to Song Shixing, the life-type floating continent is called [Red Star Continent], which is an extremely rare super-dimensional continent, and an eighth-level super-dimensional continent.

What is a super-dimensional continent?

It is an extremely rare continent in the Broken Star Sea. It does not have the concept of floating land will or floating land rejection. Every corner of the continent is covered with a large number of super-dimensional space gates connecting different alien star domains.

In this case, every super-dimensional continent is almost uniformly home to a large number of different civilizations.

Civilization wars, evil cultists, resource trade, slave trade... On the super-dimensional continent, basically everything you can think of can be seen on it, not to mention that it is an eighth-level super-dimensional continent.

It can be said that the [Red Star Continent] is a place where opportunities and risks coexist. When the super-dimensional portal leading to it was first discovered, the top leaders of the Song family struggled and debated for a long time. Finally, they separated out a hidden branch and settled in the [Red Star Continent].

Fortunately, the Song family was lucky enough. Not only did that hidden vein not decline, but it developed step by step. Now, a large underground city has been built in the [Red Star Continent], and various resources on it are continuously plundered.

When Song Chi thought about going to live in the [Red Star Continent] with the Shixing Patriarch for a long time, he felt very excited. At the same time, he also wanted to spend some time with his parents before that.

While Song Shixing was collecting various resources, Song Chi stayed in the vein with peace of mind. Apart from occasionally comprehending the secret technique of [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye] and practicing guiding techniques, as well as trading at the market once a month, he also accompanied his parents.

Days like this passed quickly, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after another market transaction, Song Chi clicked on the market attribute panel that he had not paid attention to for a long time.

[Name: Zhutian Market]

[Market owner: Song Chi]

[Level: lv56]

【Specifications: 650kmX650km】

【基础配置：商铺2550间、65kmx65km地摊区1处、四层客栈1间、lv56全属性修炼室1间（进行幽能修炼时效率翻倍）、lv56幽能防护阵一座、lv56超远程空间门随机投放台一座、五阶灵机合成台一座、五阶奇物本源改良台一座。】

[Additional configuration: Light-hiding platform (orange) lv50, fifth-order blood baptism platform (red), Kingdom of God mission platform (gold) lv70 (7/22)]

[Characteristics: Avoid evil (can move freely in the void, avoiding natural disasters)]

[Feature 2: Space anchor point (four coordinate anchor points can be set in any star field in the Broken Star Sea)]

[Feature 3: Dominant Status (Being in the market, possessing the power of domination)]

[Required for upgrading: 350 strands of Floating Land Origin (fifth level), market transaction amount of at least strands of fifth level Floating Land Origin]

If you think about it carefully, it has been nearly a hundred years since the market was promoted to level five, but it has still not reached the peak of level five. If you want to upgrade from lv56 to lv59, it will probably take at least several decades.

Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

After the fifth level, the market level upgrades slower and slower. This is still the fifth level. When it comes to the sixth or even seventh level, I'm afraid it will take even longer.

But there was no way, the market transaction volume was not something he could decide.

Without dwelling on this point any further, Song Chi withdrew his attention from the attributes of the market place. The next second, he sat cross-legged on the spot, his mind completely immersed in the illusion of double pupils.

"It will be soon. In one or two more times, the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye will be able to fully comprehend it..."

After he finished muttering, his mind was completely focused on the stone carving in front of him of the immortal Zhui Ming comprehending the secret art of [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye].

...I don't know how long it took, but when Song Chi woke up from his state of meditation, a smile visible to the naked eye appeared on his face.

As the dark energy in his body surged, a faint vertical line suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. However, the vertical line never opened completely while it was jumping, and it seemed to have no connection with the martial arts heavenly eye mentioned in the introduction.

After trying several times and seeing no effect, Song Chi stopped on his own initiative. He shook his head and said:

"I have just started. If I want to be able to fully master the martial arts eye, I have to continue to comprehend it."

But this also relieved him of the confusion in his heart.

Originally, Song Chi was still thinking about whether he should use the sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit] or the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit] if he really opened his third eye.

The sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit] can only allow him to directly control the time law to a small degree (10%), while the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit] has a high probability of reaching a medium degree (40%). The difference between the two is a world of difference.

The sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit] The sixth-level [Time Realm Tree] currently being cultivated in the secret realm has already borne fruit and will be able to produce soon, but the seventh-level [Time Realm Tree] is still in the secret realm. If we want to wait for the market to be promoted to the sixth level and transplant it out, we will have to wait at least a few decades. Even if it is transplanted, it will take time for it to produce later.

Seeing that his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye was still far from perfect, Song Chi was too lazy to worry about it anymore and decided to deal with it later.

……

Outside, the sky of Qingyue Manor.

Song Chi activated the alien domain delivery function of the Tianxu Cangqiong. He had explored alien domains a lot in the past five years, but his luck was average and he didn't gain much, not to mention he happened to come across the [Time Chess] parts left behind.

After the violent spatial fluctuations, the Tianxu Cangqiong disappeared into the depths of the sky.

In the unknown star field, under the cover of the "mirage" characteristic, the Tianxu Cangqiong that emerged from the launch did not reveal any trace of space fluctuations.

Before Song Chi could recover from his slight drowsiness, he heard a prompt from the Sky Intelligent Brain.

[Attention, the battleship is hit by high-intensity energy from the outside world, please dodge! ]

Hearing this sudden reminder, Song Chi forced himself to wake up from his coma. When he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his eyes suddenly focused.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from the landing point of the battleship, three terrifying figures were fighting in the starry sky.

Two of them were giant insects with wings on their backs and hideous mouthparts in their mouths.

Confronting these two super Zergs is a sky dragon shark with a volume of more than 10,000 kilometers. Although the sky dragon shark is not a starry sky beast, its physique is also far superior to that of ordinary creatures. In a one-on-one situation, it can easily crush the super Zerg.

However, the problem now is that the two giant Zergs cooperated very well. In a two-on-one situation, the Star Dragon Shark was naturally at a disadvantage.

"Hiss, dominating the battlefield, it's been peaceful for five years, why is it suddenly so exciting this time?"

As he was complaining, the analysis screen of the Sky Intelligence Brain suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Monitoring surrounding energy fluctuations, estimating the size of both parties, comparing databases... Designated unit one has a 96.8% chance of being a Dominant-level [Star Dragon Shark], and designated units two and three have a 94.8% chance of being Medieval Queen-level Zerg Queen’s personal guards [Sawtooth King Worm]! ]

"Sawtooth Kingworm?"

Hearing this name, Song Chi carefully controlled the Tianxu Cangqiong to turn the ship around, trying to get away from the battlefield of the three dominant creatures. At the same time, relevant information about the [Sawtooth King Worm] emerged in his mind.

[Sawtooth King Bug] is a king-level bug guard that can only be bred by a dominant-level bug queen. Generally speaking, it follows the bug queen closely and will never leave unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, his eyes moved.

"Could it be that there is an ancient Zerg queen nearby?"

In an instant, Song Chi felt great interest in his heart.

He knew very well what the ancient Zerg Queen meant. With her powerful breeding ability, a Zerg Queen herself was a walking Zerg army, and the Zerg themselves were the best carriers for breeding "energy crystals", additional resources for warship promotion. If a high-level Zerg could be wiped out, a lot of high-level energy crystals would surely be obtained.

As long as one or two high-level or even super energy crystals can be obtained, the subsequent promotion of Tianxu Cangqiong to a dreadnought, and even the promotion of Dinghai Longxiang to a star destroyer, will further increase the success rate of the promotion.

Thinking of this, Song Chi was no longer in a hurry to evacuate the battlefield. The location of the Tianxu Cangqiong was not the central area of ​​the battlefield at this time, and the aftermath of the battle it endured was not too strong. In addition, with the holy light shield provided by the [Wings of Angel Kingship], it could still hold on for quite some time.

At the same time, while looking at the battlefield ahead, his eyes began to move over the [Death Tracking Seal] components.

If what he thought was true, then maybe he could really use this component to operate it.

Boom!

Before he could think about it, a violent roar suddenly came from the battlefield in front of him. His double pupils penetrated the violent energy impact and looked towards the center of the battlefield. Soon Song Chi captured the specific changes in the battle situation.

For some unknown reason, the two [Sawtooth King Insects] suddenly became manic, and the perfect level of devouring law was condensed on their ferocious mouthparts and sharp front legs like alloy sickles.

As its wings fluttered, it transformed into countless phantoms and cut the Star Dragon Shark in the middle with all its might.

Although the Star Dragon Shark is strong, it seems particularly clumsy under the ghostly speed of the two [Sawtooth King Insects]. The thick sebum on its body cannot resist the full force cutting of the two [Sawtooth King Insects].

hold head high!
A false dragon roar came from the mouth of the Star Dragon Shark. The next second, a large amount of blood-colored mysterious power overflowed from its body, and soon a layer of illusory blood mist composed entirely of blood formed around it.

"Dragon Shark Blood Armor!"

Seeing this, Song Chi had already determined the ability used by the Star Dragon Shark.

The Dragon Shark Blood Armor is one of the Star Dragon Shark's inherited magical powers.

As a star creature whose bloodline is extremely close to that of star beasts, the star dragon shark is quite well-known. Many forces or civilizations have relevant information about it, and the Song family is no exception.

According to family records, the Star Dragon Shark has three inherited magical powers: one for attack, one for defense, and one for escape.

Among them, the Dragon Shark Blood Armor is the secret defensive technique.

With the activation of this defensive secret technique, the defense of the Star Dragon Shark suddenly increased, and the rapid cutting methods of the two [Sawtooth King Insects] could no longer be effective, and the two sides were once again caught in a tug of war.

However, Song Chi, who was acting as a spectator on the side, knew very well that this situation would not last long. The duration of the Dragon Shark Blood Armor would always end, and the fast attack of the [Sawtooth King Worm] was the advantage of their own bodies. As long as they wanted, they could be activated again at any time, and there was no duration.

However, Song Chi obviously underestimated the reaction of the Zerg. After sensing that the attack was unlikely to be effective against the Sky Dragon Shark, a powerful dominating force suddenly came from afar again.

Song Chi was startled and his gaze quickly shifted.

The next second, a giant black-armored insect that was no less large than the Star Dragon Shark came into view.

"Tiger King Bug!"

There was a secret cry in his heart, and at the same time, Song Chi's eyes were chilled.

It's not just because this Tiger King Bug is also a dominant Zerg, but also because he is now extremely sure that there must be a Zerg queen nearby lurking on the battlefield. Only in this way can the opponent have absolute control over the battle situation and send out other suitable Zergs to cooperate in the battle in time.

After confirming this, Song Chi carefully controlled the Tianxu Cangqiong to retreat. Although he didn't run away directly, it was still necessary to maintain a sufficient safe distance.

Glancing at the [Mirage Dragon Pearl] components, he saw that the duration of the "Mirage" feature was still more than two hours. He was completely relieved and estimated that it should be able to hold out until the end of this battle.

After the Tiger King Worm appeared, unlike the two Sawtooth King Worms, the Tiger King Worm served as the front row in the large Zerg team, so as soon as it appeared, it rushed straight towards the Star Dragon Shark.
