Chapter 1171 A Snobbish Dog
Yue Wuwei was aware of it because he had an extremely powerful divine sense.
Zhang Han knew it because of his years of experience.
“We’ve arrived!”
When the Thunder King jumped out of the secondary space again, what came into their view was terrifying.“Ah! Black holes!” Mengmeng’s big shining eyes widened even more.
“Holy cow!”
“What is it?”
In the space ahead were densely-packed pitch-black planets. They appeared to be revolving, yet when one looked carefully, they seemed to be motionless.
They were of different sizes. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of them. With so many black planets ahead, It was as though the Thunder King had come to a dead end.
“These are Devouring Stars. We have to fly straight into this area.”
This time, before Zhang Han could speak, Yue Wuwei said, “Travel forward with caution. Some Devouring Stars are moving rapidly. We aren’t afraid of large planets, but we do have to stay away from those small-scale Devouring Stars.”To everyone’s surprise, the moment became a bit awkward for Yue Yuwei after he said that.
“Well, Senior Yue, our destination seems to be at the rear,” Nina said in a low voice.
“Huh?”
Yue Wuwei was taken aback. He immediately steered the Thunder King toward the right direction.
After seeing the scene in the distance at the rear shown by the camera, everyone’s eyes lit up.
It was a vast, splendid galaxy.
From this angle, it was as though Heaven was in front and Hell was behind.
“According to the last mark I got, we should head for the rear of the Devouring Star Area and steer into the heart of the Sudoku,” Nina added.
“Sudoku?” Zi Yan was dazed. She thought of hot pot, her favorite meal.
“Sudoku is a large square with nine small squares inside. Look ahead…” Zhang Guangyou murmured.
Everyone stared at the screen carefully. When the image zoomed in, they finally saw traces of a Sudoku on the upper left.
“It’s over there!”
“Head toward there.”
The Thunder King started to travel again.
This flight took more than three days.
They passed one planet after another.
Surprisingly, the surrounding environment had changed. It was as if the land in front was moving back and forth.
Following the direction of the Sudoku, the Thunder King made many turns.
Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, all kinds of black holes appeared in front of them again.
“This… seems to be…” Yue Wuwei glanced at Zhang Han with uncertainty.
“It’s a natural Star Formation.”
Zhang Han’s eyes were filled with seriousness as he said, “Natural Star Formations work in the same way as Heaven-earth Formations. It’s just that the formation is formed by the universe. There are countless stars that serve as formation eyes and release the power of stars. Those stars constitute a natural formation. We had entered this Star Formation before we realized it. The scenes we saw around us may not be real. In the Cultivation World, places that have Star Formations are not easy to deal with.”
Now that Zhang Han had said such places were not easy to deal with, one could imagine how difficult it was to travel across such a place.
The expressions of everyone present changed.
They were shocked. Never would they have imagined that such a thing would happen in this Star Area.
“The Sudoku is constantly changing. Maybe it is the guidance given by the Star Formation, indicating that this road is actually in a passageway,” Zhang Han said.
“If we’re not in the passageway, then… what will happen?” Zhang Guangyou asked slowly.
“We will be lost in the universe forever until we die,” Yue Wuwei replied. “Of course, there is another possibility. If we accidentally set off the power of the Star Formation, we will be killed right away or get lost. Or maybe we can have a chance to survive. The energy of the Star Formation is not stable. If a gap appears, we can escape. But as far as I know, the probability of such a gap showing up is only one in a hundred million.”
“Hiss!”
Even Zhang Mu and Deep Flame, the two experienced generals, couldn’t help but gasp in horror.
The facial expressions of Yi Hou and the others also altered.
“What a horrible place it is!
“There is also a Star Formation in the void, which is something that we have never heard before!”
“I’m so, so sorry. I put everyone in danger,” Nina apologized guiltily. Her expression changed again and again.
“Haha, it’s fine.”
Zhang Han chuckled and said, “For others, this Star Formation may be a deadly trap. But for me, even if we are trapped in it, I can bring everyone out safely.”
“What?”
Yue Wuwei’s pupils shrank. “How can you do it?”
“Because I know this Star Formation.” Zhang Han laughed.
“How did you know this Star Formation?” Yue Wuwei was both surprised and annoyed. “How come you know everything?”
“That’s to say…”
Zhang Han casually raised his right hand and gently pinched Mengmeng’s face before saying, “Reading is very important.”
Yue Wuwei cursed in his head, “What books have you read? You always say that you know stuff because you read a lot. Like I’d believe that! Oh, I’m so miffed!”
Hearing Zhang Han’s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The Thunder King continued to fly forward.
It brushed past numerous black holes. Those on the Thunder King had their hearts in their mouths. They were afraid that a huge black hole next to them would suddenly move in their direction and swallow their Thunder King. They were also a little worried that thousands of monsters would suddenly leap out of the black hole and swoop on them.
“There’s no road ahead. The center of the Sudoku is above the black hole. What should we do?” Li Mu raised his stiff arm and pointed to the huge black hole ahead.
That huge black hole appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a big black circle on a piece of paper.
“Don’t always believe what you see. Just bump into it,” Zhang Han ordered without hesitation.
The system was bewildered.
“Is this a suicidal advance?”
The system analyzed the data shown by the pictures for quite a while but found it was no help.
In the end, the Thunder King crashed into the black hole.
“Swoosh!”
If one watched from the outside, one would see the Thunder King be devoured by the black Devouring Star.
However, what really happened was that the Thunder King had gone into the real destination.
Yet, what the group didn’t know was…
As they went in, the tens of thousands of Devouring Stars in the surroundings seemed to have sensed their arrival.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
All the stars, big and small, started to tremble at the same time.
The black light emitted by the surroundings Devouring Stars surged restlessly.
Strange phenomena appeared one after another.
Unfortunately, no one was there to watch this.
The moment the Thunder King bumped into the Devouring Star, it was as if it had truly been devoured.
However, the view the group saw on the Thunder King altered completely. It was as if they had come to a different world.
It was an incomparably huge cave.
Faint light illuminated the surroundings.
It could be seen that in the huge cave, wisps of dark, fish-like things were zooming back and forth.
The odd part was that these things could penetrate the Thunder King and even swim around everyone like ghosts.
“What are these?” Instructor Liu asked in a daze.
Yue Wuwei’s lips moved. He also looked at Zhang Han, feeling lost. “I don’t know the answer either.”
As for Zhang Han, he frowned slightly as he observed the surroundings carefully.
After being silent for a while, he shook his head and said, “Though we can see these things, they are actually a kind of energy that only exists in a different space. However, because of the many layers of space in between, no one can know what the energy is exactly.”
“These things are in front of us, but they’re actually separated from us by layers of space?”
Zhang Han’s conclusion stunned everyone.
“Daddy,” Mengmeng suddenly grabbed Zhang Han’s arm and asked, “Why do I feel that we’re in a pipe?”
“A pipe? I feel like it’s like a blood vessel.” Mu Xue was not scared at all. She looked around and said, “Look at the surroundings of the opening of the cave. I’ve been observing it for a long time. It seems to be shrinking slightly. There are many other small openings. Don’t you think these are like meridians? What kind of place is this? I’ve never seen a passageway like this before.”
“Meridians? Your idea is bold!” Gai Xingkong laughed and said, “If what in such a large area are meridians, the giant that has such large meridians must be comparable to a huge planet in size!”
“No giant can be so big.” Yue Wuwei smiled and said, “Giants who are 100 meters tall are already considered very large. But when they cast spells, they can make them look more colossal. These can’t be meridians. We’re merely in a strange passageway. Our destination should be at the end of the passageway. It’s a different world hidden in the Chaotic Region.”
“I wonder what that world is like.”
Everyone became curious.
“Is it like a Relic on our planet?”
Yue Wuwei thought for a moment and slowly nodded, saying, “It’s pretty much the same.”
“Grrrrr!”
All of a sudden, a large number of creatures that looked like zombies zoomed out from some small openings on both sides of the cave.
Seeing them, Zhang Han narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Earthfiends.”
Before the others could ask, Zhang Han went on. “They belong to the Demon Clan. They’re proficient in earth-related corrosion techniques. These creatures are very rare.”
“This pack of Earthfiends is in the Elixir Realm. They’re no threat to us.” Yue Wuwei waved his hand.
The thousands of Earthfiends coming from both sides were annihilated in an instant.
“Earthfiends…”
Li Mu, Nina, Yi Hou, Dong Chen, and the others were all astounded.
“Why do I feel like I’ve just entered the Cultivation World? Everything I’ve learned before is useless here,” Li Mu said bitterly.
The rules and knowledge in the Sea Dragon Star Area were of no use here.
“This is a special place. It’s a secret realm in space. It’s normal that you haven’t seen anything like this before,” Zhang Han said.
“Ah! How come those Earthfiends behind us have sprung back to life?”
Zhou Fei looked at the screen on the side, her mouth agape with shock.
“Earthfiends are not easy to kill. It costs fundamental blood essence to get rid of them for good, which is not worth it. Therefore, when you come across Earthfiends, normally, you just need to break them into pieces and get past them,” Yue Wuwei explained. He also gave a sidelong glance to Zhang Han.
“Humph, boy, I know a lot of things, too.”
Zhang Han’s lips quivered, but he said nothing.
Just like that, they continued to travel forward.
They ran into Earthfiends seven times on the way. The largest pack they met had tens of thousands of Earthfiends. There were also many Earthfiends at the Yuan Ying Realm Early-Stage among them.
Nevertheless, dealing with those Earthfiends was a piece of cake for Yue Wuwei.
After blowing the Earthfiends up, the Thunder King flew forward.
Finally, the landscape ahead suddenly became broad.
“Show us the surroundings.”
“We’re in a cave with a diameter of ten thousand meters,” answered the system.
“We’ve come to a fork road. Shall we turn left or right?” Zhang Mu asked.
“We must follow the flow of dark energy.” Yue Wuwei pointed to the black light drifting in front of him that did not exist in this space.
“Then, let’s turn right.”
Zhang Han guided the Thunder King to continue to move forward.
About two hours later, all of a sudden, dead fish bodies came into their view.
The fish had different appearances. Some looked like piranhas. Some looked like giant salamanders. Some had ox horns. Some were just fleshless bones. Some were more than 100 meters long, while some were only half a meter long.
“These are…”
Yue Wuwei narrowed his eyes. He was thinking about the origins of the fish.
“They’re Deep-sea Beast Demons,” Zhang Han said flatly.
“Are you sure?”
Yue Wuwei curled his lips.
“How can this be?
“You blurted out the answer before I could even think of it.
“Boy, don’t you know it’s rude to steal my thunder?”
However, now was not the time to argue about this.
Yue Wuwei narrowed his eyes and said, “Deep-sea Beast Demons like planets with seas. They are also a kind of Starry Sky beast. They belong to the dark type, or in other words, the Demon Clan. They live in packs. Where there are Deep-sea Beast Demons, there must be several Lords of the sea.”
“Are we in trouble?” Zhou Fei’s expression stiffened. Things like beasts in the depths of sea crept her out.
“No, the problem is not that serious. The bodies of the Deep-sea Beast Demons here are not many. Normally, there are at least a million Deep-sea Beast Demons around the Beast Demon King,” Zhang Han said. “Besides, they are greedy and hate going back empty-handed. If you pass by their territory, they may not even pay attention to you. But judging by the situation here, I guess these Deep-sea Beast Demons should have been on their own. They had no Beast Demon King leading them. Of course, this also means that we are not far from the people we are looking for. From the aura of these beasts, the slaughter happened only two hours ago.”
Yue Wuwei felt rather speechless.
“Your analysis is logical and well-grounded. Good, very good. I’d like to see how much you know.”
Yue Wuwei suddenly did not feel like speaking because, sometimes, he couldn’t give an accurate answer either.
“Two hours ago? Then the person who killed those beasts should be the daughter of Nina’s mother,” Chen Changqing said. “Shall we speed up to catch up with her?”
“Let’s speed up a bit. There is only one passageway here. We won’t lose her anyway,” Zhang Han said.
The speed of the Thunder King picked up a lot.
The journey in the next 10 minutes was very peaceful.
Abruptly, they saw a few more bodies of Deep-sea Beast Demons.
“That thing is so scary.”
Chen Chuan was gaping at the Beast Demon whose head was squashed and whose arms and legs were broken. He was a little frightened.
“There are even more dead bodies here.”
“Wait, aren’t we in a cave? Why are these bodies floating in the air instead of lying on the ground?”
“We’re still in the void of the universe,” Zhang Han thought for a moment and said. “I don’t know what kind of place our destination is. It should have something to do with a dark planet, or rather, creatures of the Demon Clan.”
“Nina, the person who left you the message, Felina, came to me with some other Dark Elves,” Yi Hou suddenly remarked. “From what I can see, their auras were extraordinary, especially that of a middle-aged man who seems to be very powerful. Did Felina tell you the identities of those people?”
“No. She merely left me the marks to trace her.” Nina shook her head slightly.
“No matter who they are, we’ll know when we see them.”
While they were talking, the cameras showed the huge cave from all angles. The huge cave seemed endless, but the light on the surrounding stone walls changed from time to time. The wisps of energy that were not in this space were still shuttling back and forth as if guiding the way for them.
Finally, an hour later, Yue Wuwei said, “We’re almost there.”
Yue Wuwei’s eyes stopped moving for a moment. Then, he said, “They came here by king vessel. They may be from the Heavenly Dragon Star Province.”
“The Heavenly Dragon Star Province?” Yi Hou and Li Mu glanced at each other.
In the past, the noble families or large sects in Heavenly Dragon Star Province were legendary to them. But ever since they met the Lo family, it seemed that the veil of the mysterious forces in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province had been lifted.
After getting to know the Lo family, they no longer considered those in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province that mysterious.
Those people were just cultivators as everyone else, only that their strength was stronger.
That was what Yi Hou and Li Mu believed at first. However, when they came here, they discovered that the horizon of the people in an advanced Star Area and that of those in a low-grade Star Area were different.
On the screen, everyone saw that three people were fighting near the small king vessel ahead. One was a woman and the other were two men. They were all relatively young, but their moves were extremely fierce.
They were reaping the lives of the Deep-sea Beast Demons around without effort.
“They’re all in the God Transformation Realm?” Instructor Liu subconsciously lowered his voice and asked.
When he first made it to the Yuan Ying Realm, he had thought that he would be able to do as he pleased in the Sea Dragon Star Area. Much to his surprise, as he followed this group, he began to get into the circle of those in the God Transformation Realm.
Every time he felt a bit proud of himself, reality would ruthlessly deal him a blow.
“Yes, the three are at the God Transformation Realm Early-Stage.” Zhang Han nodded.
“They’ve discovered us.”
“Their spaceship stopped. Are they waiting for us?”
With everyone watching, the small king vessel ahead slowly pulled up.
The leader of the three people fighting the Beast Demons outside the king vessel was the woman who spoke to Felina with an attitude earlier.
“Lida, someone is coming from behind.”
One of the men was tall, and the other one was short. The tall one was over 1.8 meters tall. As for the short one, he was only 1.6 meters tall.
After noticing the newcomers behind, the tall man said, “That’s a Thunder King, isn’t it? It’s the most famous spaceship in the Sea Dragon Star Area, a model produced by the Snowfall Alliance. It’s said that in the Sea Dragon Star Area, only Zhang Hanyang has this model. Nina, the elf that Felina is looking for, has left with Zhang Hanyang. Have they caught up with us?”
“Hehe, can’t believe they’ve really caught up with us.” Lida turned around and glanced at the Thunder King. She snorted softly and said, “It’s actually nothing impressive that they’ve caught up with us. They’re merely members of some small sects that can only show off their might in the Sea Dragon Star Area.”
“You are right.” The short man chuckled. “I wonder, why is Felina looking for that elf? Does she want to give her something?”
“They have the same mother. But one of them is a Dark Elf, and the other is an Elemental Elf. Hahaha…” The tall man killed a Beast Demon with one hack and said, “Wouldn’t they feel awkward when they meet?”
“That’s just normal. Why would they feel awkward?” said the short man. “Eh? Our spaceship has stopped.”
“Is Lord Gu Yi waiting for them?” Lida sheathed the long sword in her hand and said.
The other two finished off the last few Beast Demons.
They turned around in the void and looked at the approaching Thunder King.
It was not until the Thunder King drew close did they return to their king vessel.
“Send out the signal for communication.”
“The call has been put through.”
“Sizzle.”
The scene in the control room of the king vessel was displayed on the screen, which showed a total of more than a dozen people.
There were just a few Dark Elves, and most of them were very young. The one sitting at the front was Felina.
Gu Yi was next to Felina. His expression was serene. He was drinking tea without even batting his eyes, as though he had no interest in talking to these people from the Sea Dragon Star Area.
“You are Nina?” Felina glanced at all the people on the screen. Then, her eyes rested on Nina’s, as though she was sizing her up.
Biting her lip, Nina said, “Yes, I’m Nina. Where’s my mother?”
“There is no need for you to know. Come to my spaceship first. I have something to give you,” Felina said.
“Alright.” Nina nodded.
Just as she was about to hang up, the woman named Lida said, “Don’t bring too many people over, or our spaceship will be messy and noisy.”
“Sizzle!”
The signal was cut off.
Felina’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Haha.”
Lida sneered. She picked up the glass of wine beside her and took a sip.
Toward this, no one said anything, not even Gu Yi.
Many others looked at Lida with envy in their eyes.
Why? It was because Lida’s aunt was Gu Yi’s concubine, whom Gu Yi had adored very much recently. Therefore, Gu Yi also took good care of Lida.
“What the hell?” On the Thunder King, Mu Xue snorted, “They’re really arrogant.”
“That woman is just a snobbish dog. Don’t mind her,” Zhang Guangyou said. Next, he noticed that someone was biting his trouser leg.
He looked down and found that it was Little Hei.
Zhang Guangyou didn’t know what to say.
“With a dog by my side, I have to be careful with my choice of words.”
