Star Sea Hunter

Mars Starfield.

Zhaluo Yifei drove a small reconnaissance flying saucer, cruising in the void about [-] light-seconds away from this planet, and the cautious habits developed over the years made it dare not neglect its current duties in the slightest.

The base on the planet stores high-purity energy crystals that can be used by 30 warships for [-] days. The safety of these materials is related to the success or failure of the empire's next round of strategic offensive, and no mistakes can be tolerated!

However, this is not the most important!After a comprehensive and in-depth detection and scanning of this planet, it was found that in the strata thousands of meters deep, there are a large number of extremely high-quality mineral veins, and there are even magic crystal mineral veins!It is the ideal place to build a sacrificial temple!

After this important information was submitted, the Grand Commander immediately issued an order to transfer a large amount of supplies. After careful measurement, the totem priests preliminarily selected six suitable areas and began to step up the construction of the temple.

The Temple of Sacrifice is the most important holy place in the minds of the Borosto people. This race was born from the ground, relying on various ores devoured to maintain its own development. After a long period of evolution, it finally developed its own civilization and established a huge Underground Empire!

Every certain period of time, they will enter a metamorphosis period, and the metamorphosis time ranges from several years to more than ten years.As long as they go through it smoothly, their strength will be greatly improved!Life forms will also gradually transform from carbon-based to silicon-based. Those individuals that have existed for a long time and have transformed enough times will eventually completely transform into silicon-based forms and become perfect spar life!They call it Crystal Emperor!The empire has been passed down for countless epochs, and there are only nine surviving Crystal Emperors, who jointly control the supreme power of the empire!

Transformation is inseparable from the assistance of the sacrificial temple.No matter what level of individual, after the metamorphosis period comes, they must go to the temple of sacrifice, accept the blessing ceremony of the totem priests, and use the unique soft energy in the sacred crystal to guide their body into a deep sleep. Absorb the essence of the surrounding mineral veins, enhance your own life essence and source of strength!

This period is also their weakest period.Any external bad influence may kill them!Therefore, whenever the transformation period of the clansmen comes, the totem priests will always rack their brains to choose those areas that are remote and unobtrusive, hidden deep underground, and rich in mineral resources as much as possible to build temples!To ensure that the people of the tribe can safely pass through this period of weakness!

Of course, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there are clues to follow no matter how secret the layout is!The Borosto people multiplied underground, and finally drilled out of the ground. In the long years of entering the universe, they have encountered countless powerful civilizations. In the process of competing with these civilizations for living space, because of this damn weakness, they have been killed many times. Pushed to the brink of genocide!Especially millions of years ago, when the war with the Yuangu God Clan on the other side of the Star Sea happened, two-thirds of the whole clan entered the metamorphosis period, and they were caught by that damned race, causing an unprecedented massacre !

Due to too many individuals entering the metamorphosis period, the power to protect the safety of the temple has been greatly weakened!The Yuangu Protoss invaded their land almost effortlessly!A large number of wealthy planets were occupied, countless underground temples were discovered, and then there was an overwhelming massacre!

During those bloody years, the Borosto people were almost wiped out!Almost all the existing lands were lost, and only a few barren planets with remote locations and few resources were spared!In such a powerful empire that spans millions of light years and has more than one trillion individuals, the number of individuals that survived the catastrophe is ultimately less than one million!

Later, in order to survive and continue the fire of civilization, the Borosto family had to compromise, gave up all the dignity and glory of an ancient noble race, and voluntarily became captive slaves raised by the Yuangu God Race, searching for them in the vast sea of ​​stars, and mining all kinds of treasures. A precious resource in exchange for a place to stay.

Later, the Yuangu Protoss encountered a more powerful enemy. In just a few years, the unimaginably huge empire collapsed!All instances are missing!The speed of the decline and the thoroughness of the demise are even greater than those of the Borosto people back then!

After the disappearance of the former suzerain country, the Borosto people were able to rise again. After millions of years of recuperation, they became the masters of this starry sky again!

The higher-ups of the empire once investigated the reasons for the demise of the Yuangu God Race, but they found nothing in the end.A huge unknown energy blocked and hidden the ancient wormhole, turning both ends of the star sea into a moat, completely isolating the origin of the Yuangu protoss from the Haoting Xiaodutian galaxy!Can no longer come and go freely!

The empire that survived the catastrophe learned a lesson. In addition to setting the location of the sacrificial temple to be more remote and difficult to find, it also used various methods to cover it up.At the same time, the secret method was used to postpone the transformation period of some tribesmen, and the tribes staggered as much as possible.In order to prevent too many tribes from entering the transformation period together, the strength of the empire will drop too much in a short period of time, and it will eventually be taken advantage of by others!

This time the ancient wormhole reappeared in the star sea, and the great lord ordered to march into this starry sky, that is, to see that there are rich resources here, and at the same time, there are no races powerful enough to threaten them watching from the sidelines!It just happens to be an ideal place to build a temple for worship!

Even so, while building the temple, the higher-ups still did enough work, and all available concealment methods were used!Those few temples are heavily covered up by multi-layer space mirroring technology, and it is impossible for Mo Jing Commander-level powerhouses to discover the clues without guidance.

After all, there was an example of two temples being destroyed last time, even though the temples had not been built at that time, and various defensive and concealing methods had not yet been put in place!The higher-ups only listed this matter as an accident, but it was related to the life and death of the family, so they couldn't help but act carelessly!

The golden-robed priest once proposed to the high lord that a part of the fleet should be dispatched to protect the safety of the temple.But this unrealistic proposal was rejected by the high lord!

Due to the harsh conditions required to establish a sacrificial temple, it is impossible to have too many suitable places on the same planet, and a temple can only hold no more than [-] clansmen to hold ceremonies at the same time!This meant that the temples must be distributed in countless galaxies, and it was simply an impossible task to leave a strong enough defense force near every planet!

"If the temple is taken into account, then the offensive against humans will have to stop, so that they have a chance to breathe, take a breath, organize enough forces to counterattack, and the loss of our family will be unpredictable!" The great lord said, "Only by taking this opportunity to completely defeat human civilization can we clear the way for the revival of the tribe!"

The logistics material transfer base on the surface of the planet is another way to confuse the enemy.Even if humans find this place, the supplies in the base are enough for them to return home with satisfaction, and they never imagined that there is another world in the thousand-meter-deep underground!

The dark void is like a huge velvet cloth, dotted with countless bright stars, and behind it is the magnificent Haoting Xiaodutian galaxy, its hometown!

I looked at the dashboard in front of me, I've been out for so long, it's time to go back and replenish my energy!Moreover, it also misses the taste of human meat very much, it is more delicious than any creature it has eaten before!Going back this time, we must have a full meal!

However, just as it was about to return, the probe howled like crazy, and countless light spots of unknown origin filled the spar light screen in front of it!

It's an enemy attack!

what happened?Isn't this behind the line of defense?The human fleet has been forced thousands of light years away, it should be safe here, where did those guys come from?

Confused, it alerted the base.Then plan to hurry back!A few seconds later, a thick laser beam flashed silently, turning the small spaceship into a ball of fire!

"There is a situation ahead!" In the flagship, a staff officer reported.

"How many fleets does the opponent have?" Tian Xuanhao asked.

"No, it seems that there is only one large-scale base on that planet!" The staff officer replied.

"Send additional detection satellites to conduct a comprehensive scan of the entire planet, and at the same time pay close attention to the reactions of the surrounding star fields. If the other party has reinforcements coming, report it as soon as possible!"

"understand!"

Soon, the almost undefended situation on the planet was confirmed. In the base, all the huge spar jars with a height of 2 meters were sealed with extremely high-purity energy spar!And the strength of the guards is only more than [-] cannon fodder-level Borosto fighters!

"This time I made a lot of money!" All the officers couldn't help but say with joy.

So much energy is enough to consume 30 main battleships of the Borosto people for [-] days of continuous combat!How could it make them unhappy that it was so almost free and fell into the hands of the human task force?

This kind of energy spar is a specialty of Haoting Xiaodutian, which is different from the energy used by human beings.The energy intensity contained in a unit volume is much higher than similar products in the human world.This shows that certain resources in that galaxy are much more abundant than the starry sky where humans are located; in addition, their energy spar purification and processing technology is far superior to that of humans!

As long as the energy circulation system in the battleship is slightly improved, these crystals can be used by humans!

"It's been more than a week, and today's harvest can be said to be the biggest!" Tian Xuanhao said excitedly, "Notify the brothers, transport all the spoils to the battleship! Then check the surface of the planet to see if there is any more Other discoveries!"

"Shouldn't there be any?" Karadzic said.

"The harvest this time is enough! Losing so many energy crystals at once may even affect the operations of the front fleet. I'm afraid they will send reinforcements to intercept them immediately after learning the news! For safety's sake, we It is best to retreat immediately!"

When he said this, Tian Xuanhao was also a little moved: "It seems to be the truth! Then let's go now?"

"I don't agree!" Yun Haoyu said, "My intuition tells me that there must be something worthy of our interest on this planet!"

"Spiritual things like intuition cannot be used as the basis for battlefield decisions!" Karadzic said dissatisfiedly.

Yun Haoyu smiled, ignored him, turned to Tian Xuanhao and said, "I'll take some people down to have a look, and turn around. If we don't find anything, we can retreat later!"

Tian Xuanhao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! But you only have two hours!"

"No problem, this time is enough!"
