405: Chapter 406 The Hibernation Pod in the Droplet Spaceship, a Bounty of 100 Million Star Coins!

The red laser, carrying the high temperature of molten metal, headed straight for Su Yang's chest.

Su Yang did not dodge. He kept his hands casually behind his back, his expression as calm as water.

Just as the red laser was about to touch his clothes, the air in front of Su Yang distorted severely. A pitch-black spatial vortex formed out of thin air.

The laser shot into the depths of the vortex, like a clay ox entering the sea, without causing even the slightest ripple.

The electronic red light in the Mummy Mage's eye sockets flickered wildly; it clearly couldn't understand the scene before it. It raised its Red Gem Staff again, preparing for a second charge.

"Giving it back to you," Su Yang said in a flat tone.

The pitch-black vortex rotated in reverse. A red beam of light, ten times thicker than before, reflected directly back at a speed exceeding that of light.

Boom!

The Mummy Mage, along with the metal staff in its hand, was hit head-on by the red beam.

No flesh flew everywhere. The Mummy's shell instantly vaporized under the high temperature. Immediately after, a translucent blue energy body crawled out from the vaporized skin.

The energy body had no facial features; its body was like a mass of constantly flowing blue jellyfish, with a cluster of jumping lightning at its core.

The hundreds of Mummies arranged neatly around seemed to receive a unified command. They simultaneously abandoned their weapons, and their withered skins fell off one after another. Hundreds of blue energy bodies emerged from the corpses, floating in the mid-air of the spaceport.

Bai Li gently shook the round fan in her hand, a flash of realization crossing her purple eyes.

"Su Yang, be careful. These are the long-extinct Starry Sky Spirit Race. They have no physical form and specialize in devouring the Mental Energy and brain domains of living people. Physical attacks are useless against them."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hundreds of blue energy bodies converged and underwent Fusion in the air, turning into a vast blue sea of clouds.

The sea of clouds emitted a piercing sonic shriek. This sound did not travel through the air but exploded directly in everyone's minds.

Qin Xueji covered her head with both hands, her face pale. Her Core Formation stage Mental Energy was very fragile before the Starry Sky Spirit Race; she felt as if her head were about to split open with pain.

Chu Ling's ice-blue long dress fluttered. She condensed a Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice sword in her hand and swung a sharp Sword Qi fiercely at the blue sea of clouds in mid-air.

The ice-blue Sword Qi passed through the sea of clouds without any hindrance, hitting the metal wall behind it. The sea of clouds continued to roll, completely unharmed.

"How annoying, I can't touch them at all!" Mary flapped her black bat wings, her ten blood-red claws scratching wildly in the air, but she could only grasp at thin air.

Su Yang looked at the descending blue sea of clouds, his eyes showing no emotion.

"If you have no physical form, then I will crush the space you live in."

At the center of Su Yang's brow, a brilliant silver light instantly lit up. The power of the world king bead's Law of Space came crashing down.

Su Yang raised his right hand, his fingers tightening into a grip toward the blue sea of clouds in the air.

"Compress."

As those two words were uttered.

The entire space above the spaceport instantly collapsed inward frantically. The air from all directions was sucked dry, forming an absolute vacuum cage.

The blue sea of clouds didn't even have time to emit a second mental shriek before it was forcibly kneaded and squeezed by the overbearing Law of Space.

Zzzzt!

The sound of electrical short circuits rang out continuously. The massive sea of clouds shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds.

The Starry Sky Spirit Race that had covered half the spaceport was squeezed by Su Yang into a palm-sized polyhedral crystal emitting a brilliant blue light.

The crystal fell from the air. Su Yang reached out and caught it.

Extremely pure Mental Energy flowed within the crystal, without a single trace of Impurities.

Su Yang turned and threw the blue crystal to Qin Xueji.

"Keep it close. It can nourish the Divine Soul. Next time you encounter a mental attack, you won't have a headache."

Qin Xueji held the blue crystal tightly in both hands as if it were a precious treasure. She looked gratefully at Su Yang's tall and upright back. Following the boss, even picking up some trash resulted in a priceless treasure.

After clearing out the Spirit Race monsters, silence returned to the spaceport.

Su Yang led the way toward the deepest part of the spaceport.

Many wreckage of warships were parked on the landing pad. Their surfaces were covered in scorched bullet holes, clearly having gone through a brutal interstellar war.

In the very center of the spaceport, there was a circular lifting platform about a dozen meters above the ground.

On the platform sat a silver spaceship with a very peculiar shape.

The spaceship's shape was like a perfect waterdrop. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, without a single seam, and even the hatch could not be seen. The silver hull reflected the surrounding scenery, exuding a sense of futurism far beyond Earth's level of technology.

"What a beautiful spaceship. It looks like a big mercury ball." Mary flew over and curiously reached out to touch the spaceship's hull. It was cold to the touch.

Chu Ling stepped forward and tapped the metal hull with her jade-like hand, producing a crisp sound. "The material is very sturdy. It's even harder than Deep Sea Cold Iron. There are no seams, how do we get in?"

Su Yang walked to the front of the spaceship.

Pure Yang True Qi gathered in his palm, and Su Yang pressed his hand directly against the silver hull.

Advanced energy injection detected. A circle of green light waves lit up on the surface of the water drop spaceship.

Silently, a seam slowly cracked open on the side of the spaceship and slid upward, revealing a spacious hatch.

Soft white lights lit up in the passage. There was no dust at all, it was spotlessly clean.

Su Yang stepped into the hatch. The four peerless beauties followed closely behind.

The spaceship's interior had no complex instrument panels or pilot seats. The entire space was pure white, minimalist to the extreme.

In the center of the cabin, a translucent oval Hibernation Pod was placed.

Inside the Hibernation Pod lay a person.

A petite girl.

The girl was wearing a silver tight-fitting combat suit. Her silver hair was cut short at ear-length. Her ears were sharp and long, crystal clear, completely unlike human features.

The girl's eyes were closed, and her chest had a faint and regular rise and fall. It proved she was still alive.

"There's actually a living person." Chu Ling's ice-blue eyes showed a hint of surprise. "Sleeping deep underground for an unknown number of years, yet her vitality still hasn't been cut off."

Bai Li carefully observed the girl's pointed ears.

"Rumor has it that deep in the starry sky, there is an Elf Race that naturally masters the power of technology and nature. This girl's facial features match the records in ancient books perfectly."

Su Yang walked to the front of the Hibernation Pod.

Unintelligible green characters flickered on the surface of the Hibernation Pod.

Su Yang didn't look for an open button. He clenched his right fist and smashed it directly onto the translucent pod cover.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the sturdy Hibernation Pod cover shattered into pieces. White cold air overflowed through the cracks.

The icy mist dissipated.

The long eyelashes of the silver-haired girl lying inside trembled twice.

She slowly opened her eyes.

There were no whites or pupils in the girl's eyes. Deep within her eye sockets was actually a profound starry sky pattern. Countless tiny stars rotated slowly in her eyes, exuding a mechanical coldness devoid of any emotion.

The girl slowly sat up. She turned her head, and her starry-sky-like eyes locked directly onto Su Yang.

"Warning. Unauthorized life form detected. System wake-up complete."

The girl did not open her mouth. Her voice rang directly in everyone's minds. Mechanical, cold, and without any emotional fluctuation.

Then, the center of the girl's brow suddenly split open to both sides.

A tiny red mechanical vertical eye poked out from deep within her brow.

A red scanning light spread out in a fan shape, sweeping over Su Yang's entire body from head to toe.

"Target gene confirmed. Pure Yang Physique. Energy Rank: Highest danger level."

The mechanical voice in the girl's mind rang out again.

"Interstellar Court bounty target match successful. Hunting reward: One hundred million Star Coins. Commencing clearing procedure."

As soon as she finished speaking, the lights inside the pure white cabin instantly turned a piercing blood-red.

The smooth cabin walls on all sides flipped over, and hundreds of dense black gun barrels extended simultaneously. The cold muzzles were all aimed at Su Yang and the others standing in the center. Powerful energy fluctuations converged frantically deep within the gun barrels.
