354: Zerg Starfield

Open your eyes and look; the whole Universe is filled with wage earners.

They'll burrow into wherever the money is.

Danger doesn't matter at all; having no money is what's truly terrifying.

Since the opening of the Zerg Star Domain, countless spaceships or teleportations have been heading toward it.

In an instant, countless people gathered.

Some races even moved their own territorial battlefields there.

Their intentions are as clear as day.

Ye Su and Burning Star also rushed over.

Their channels were more secretive, so they naturally knew what the best things in the Zerg Star Domain were.

The Zerg's Great Secret Technique;

Buzz Control!

This is a Zerg Swarm stream-of-consciousness secret technique and the core of Zerg Hive control.

It is also an effective way to overcome the terrifyingly high attenuation of Soul attack methods within the Universe.

It was often said that the attenuation of Soul attacks was too severe, making them extremely cost-ineffective.

But this Zerg secret technique can effectively prevent that attenuation.

It allows Soul attack methods to be utilized to their fullest potential.

This is something unique in the Universe.

It is also a Treasure Trove that countless races covet.

Furthermore,

this secret technique isn't recorded on something for you to find like a treasure hunt.

Instead, it can only be comprehended through certain environments in the Zerg Star Domain, whether natural or modified by the Zerg.

Since the Zerg actually opened up their Star Domain,

one can naturally find a place to meditate on and acquire this secret technique.

This is why countless people are rushing into Zerg territory.

As for other things, like minerals, square crystals, and so on—the Zerg territory isn't lacking in those either.

Thus,

it has attracted so many people.

"Captain Ye, we have already entered Zerg territory,"

Mo Xiaoyu said, contacting Ye Su.

With the territorial war moving in, it was only natural for the people of Great Xia to follow.

"Good, I understand. Give me your coordinates,"

Ye Su said.

The biggest advantage of Great Xia's people being here was that finding environments for comprehension would be a bit more convenient.

After Mo Xiaoyu gave the coordinates,

Ye Su led Burning Star toward that location.

They encountered many people mining along the way, but Ye Su ignored them.

This wasn't like last time where they could just fence off a plot for themselves.

Even with Burning Star by his side, Ye Su didn't feel completely safe.

So, it was better to keep a low profile.

Halfway there,

the two encountered a mining area.

The terrain here was blood-red, with a dense aura of blood qi.

"With such dense blood qi, Ye Su, do you want to go down and take a look? There might be sacred blood stones,"

Burning Star said.

sacred blood stones were a common commodity in the Universe.

Production was extremely low, but consumption was massive; they were used for everything from Blood Qi Heavy Armor to the preparation of precision components.

The first thing many people did when encountering a region with dense blood qi was to check for sacred blood stones.

Even Burning Star was no exception to this trend.

Ye Su nodded.

He was severely lacking in sacred blood stones himself.

The specs for his Blood Qi Heavy Armor were extremely high, but he currently didn't have enough sacred blood stones, so he felt embarrassed to take it out.

Even if he did, it wouldn't provide much of a boost.

If he could mine some along the way, that would naturally be for the best.

Thus,

the two of them quickly rushed toward the mining area.

No one would stop them in this manner; with the Zerg territory open, there weren't many restrictions, and everyone preferred less killing and more treasure hunting.

The further they went, the denser the blood qi became, and they saw many people.

Everyone intentionally avoided others, signaling that they did not wish to be disturbed.

"Such dense blood qi? There's a high chance of sacred blood stones!"

Burning Star said, his eyes lighting up.

The two had a clear goal and charged straight inside.

After turning a corner,

a large hall appeared directly in front of them.

Embedded within the walls of the hall were several sacred blood stones.

"There really are some!"

Ye Su's face lit up with joy.

Gong Li had once said to slowly gather sacred blood stones in the Universe, and his words had unexpectedly come true.

They really could be gathered slowly.

"Scram!"

Suddenly, there was a roar.

A powerful aura swept through, seemingly trying to blast Ye Su out of the hall.

Ye Su turned back with interest.

He saw a man standing arrogantly in the middle of the hall, looking around at everyone, his aura sweeping out unceremoniously.

He clearly wanted to monopolize these sacred blood stones.

"Ascension Four,"

Burning Star said.

"It should be the third stage of Ascension Four."

Ye Su was speechless.

"No way, do you guys really divide Ascension Four into ten stages?"

Burning Star also said speechlessly,

"You'll understand when you reach Ascension Four."

"There's a reason it's divided into ten stages."

The two chatted like this, not caring about the guy at all.

The guy was originally quite satisfied since he could intimidate the crowd, but seeing the two of them ignore him completely, his expression instantly darkened.

"Hey, you two, if you don't want to die—"

Bang!

With a wave of Burning Star's hand,

a terrifying aura slammed him directly against the rock wall, embedding him deep inside.

He wouldn't be able to pull himself out for a while.

Please.

Don't be fooled by how cowardly Fen Tian and Burning Star seemed.

This was an Ascension Six expert; reaching this level meant one was already a significant part of the Universe.

In the cataclysm, Ascension Level Eight and Ascension Nine were nothing to write home about.

But in the Universe, many people never see an expert above Ascension Five in their entire lives.

Therefore,

just a single burst of aura from Burning Star

instantly plunged the cave hall into absolute silence.

People broke out in a cold sweat.

They carefully backed away.

Only after they were out of Ye Su and Burning Star's sight did they turn and bolt.

As for the one embedded in the wall,

he feigned unconsciousness.

Even if he woke up, he had to act as if he hadn't.

He just hoped the other party would treat him like a fart and let him go.

Ye Su and Burning Star couldn't be bothered with him.

They continued gathering.

Once they finished, they left immediately.

Only then did the figure on the wall pry himself out.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he emerged.

This was truly a narrow escape from death!

However—he wouldn't get the chance to live.

Because,

the entire wall suddenly began to tremble, and for some reason, the silicon-based stone instantly turned into flesh and blood.

Amidst the churning flesh, it swallowed him whole.

An Ascension Four expert disappeared just like that, without even a chance to scream.

This kind of situation

was constantly happening in the Zerg Star Domain.

But it was extremely secretive.

Many people noticed their friends' signals suddenly vanishing, but they didn't pay much attention.

In the Zerg region, the Mechanical Race's spirit net frequently malfunctioned anyway.

After all, the Zerg ate everything.

Some bored, powerful Broodmothers would occasionally snack on the spirit net.

With a wide gape of their mouths,

the spirit net within a radius of one or two light-years would be devoured.

Then the Mechanical Race would have to redeploy it.

As for the losses—that was for the Mechanical Race and the Zerg to bicker over.

So,

losing a signal was perfectly normal!

For example, right now,

the spirit net fluctuations in the Zerg Star Domain were normal.

Many Great Clans had lost surveillance over the Zerg territory.

But since the soul lamps of their subordinates were still lit, they didn't bother to care.

This was just how the Zerg were.

The Mechanical Race didn't fight back, so the Zerg treated them like pushovers and frequently chewed on their spirit net for fun.
