Chapter 793: Mutated Zerg!

Seventy million!

The price had already scared the auctioneer Riga Vickers. He asked, stuttering, “This… this Galaxy Aristocrat has offered 70 million, is there a… higher price?”

“Seventy million.” Feng Wuhen stroked his chin and smiled. Then, he shook his head. “Forget it, I didn’t bring enough money today, such a pity.”

“Pauper.” Li Tianxing snorted and then went quiet.

Honestly, 70 million for this armor with a full set of +12 gems was a little expensive, but the price should be around there.

After all, money was not an issue for Galaxy Aristocrats. What was really important was that this armor was indeed rare.

“70 million once!”

“70 million twice!”

“70 million thrice!” Auctioneer Riga Vickers shouted in a trembling voice. Seeing that there were no further bids from the floor, he banged his hammer. “Sold!”

Seventy million, sold!

When they heard the closing amount, everyone stood up and applauded loudly for Li Tianxing.

It was not an exaggeration to say that in the history of Sauron Auction Center, this was the first time a single item had been sold for 70 million!

Everyone was prone to pride, and Li Tianxing was no exception.

Although he spent quite a lot, he was satisfied. After all, a piece of top-grade equipment like this was not something you could buy just because you wanted to.

Of course, that depended on who you were talking to…

Hong Dali said in a small voice, “He’s really rich.”

Tang Muxin said, “Dali, he is even more of a prodigal then you are. 70 million for this…”

Li Nianwei said, “Young Master is certainly never short of money no matter where he goes.”

Jiang Qianxue said, “This fellow is even more prodigal than Dali, and he’s still full of himself over there. Eh, I used to think he is not bad, but now… Forget it, after being with Dali for a while, my taste in things has gotten more exclusive. This armor is not bad, actually…” Then, she looked at her own gear and said happily, “Honestly speaking, the present Dali gave me is not bad.”

Yin Tianzong: “I wonder where these pieces of equipment came from, there are so many of them all of a sudden. Although I do not like fighting, these are… forget it, they will be wasted on me anyway…”

Now that everything had been auctioned, all that was left to do was to settle the payment and leave. Hong Dali instructed Ling Xiaoyi. “Xiaoyi, you settle the rest. I’ll go out first.”

Ling Xiaoyi nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master.”

Hong Dali then led everyone out. When they reached the entrance of the hall, Hong Dali shouted out to Fang Han and Yin Tianzong, “Brother Tianzong, Big Brother Fang Han, over here!”

“Haha, Dali, you really can spend!” Yin Tianzong was a joker, and his character was similar to Hong Dali’s. He was not concerned about Hong Dali’s indiscriminate spending and even asked, concerned, “You spent so much today, do you need me to sponsor you privately?”

“He won’t be short on money.” Just then, Jiang Qianxue walked slowly over. With her usual cool, calm expression, she said, “No need to pity him.”

“How can I do that?” Yin Tianzong put his arm around Hong Dali’s shoulder. “He is my brother. I only have this one friend.”

Hong Dali grinned. “No hurry for that. Brother Tianzong, let’s talk after we board the spacecraft. I have something for you, hehe.”

Ten minutes later, on the spacecraft.

“Ahhhhhhhhh—!!!!”

Yin Tianzong watched as Hong Dali took out a pile of top-grade equipment. “These are for me?!”

“Something like that.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “You and Fang Han can pick one set of equipment each. Anyway, they are worthless…”

“W.. worthless?!” Yin Tianzong stuttered. “A full set of attribute +12 gems just sold for 70 million and you casually take out a whole pile of attribute +13 gems, then tell me they are worthless?! Are you the Galaxy Aristocrat or am I the Galaxy Aristocrat?!”

It was no wonder he was so shocked.

Even though Yin Tianzong was a Galaxy Aristocrat, his pocket money was just 10 to 20 million. He had to ask his family if he wanted more. Now, Hong Dali had a pile of equipment that were all embedded with attribute +13 gems and was offering them to him like free cabbages! A whole pile!

These were attribute +13 gems! Attribute +13! Not attribute +3! Who gave them away like that!

“Hehe, hehe…” Yin Tianzong was practically drooling. With total disregard for his image, he hugged the pile of equipment and sat on the ground drooling. “I have such good gear, too. Hehe, hehe. These are better than the big ice cube Li Tianxing’s… He’s going to be so angry when he sees these. Hehe, hehe.”

Hong Dali said, “Brother Tianzong, stop smiling to yourself and quickly choose…”

…

On the other side, Sauron Auction Hall, inside the Manager’s office.

Li Tianxing looked at Heloise, who was trembling like a little rabbit, and said in a cold voice, “You want to join Sing! Milky Way, correct?”

“Yes… yes…” Heloise could not stop trembling. This was a Galaxy Aristocrat, the successor of Nine Sha Luos whose status was highest among the Aristocrats, Deep Ice.Li Tianxing. She definitely could not afford to offend him.

“Perform well,” Li Tianxing said flatly. “I will help you with everything else. All I ask is that you win all your opponents, especially that person who is with Hong Dali. According to the latest reports, the woman with him called Li Nianwei may be joining Sing! Milky Way. Win her and I will give you whatever you want in the future.”

“O… okay!” Just when she thought there was no hope for her, out of the darkness came a glimmer of hope. Heloise was just feeling depressed as she had not managed to get Yin Tianzong’s help. In the end, an even better candidate dropped from the sky. Li Tianxing was obviously even more powerful than Yin Tianzong. She immediately nodded and promised. “You can be assured I will work hard, my Lord.”

“Go.” Li Tianxing waved his hand. “If your ability is not up to par, you know the consequences.”

“I… I know!” So terrified that she could barely stand upright, Heloise immediately left the meeting room.

…

At the same time, in the Milky Way, within the stars near the solar system.

On the eight Fourth-Order space carriers Yin Lieyang sent to Earth.

“Alert! Alert!” All the eight space carriers sounded piercing alarms. The soldiers responsible for monitoring the Zerg shouted, “Captain, a huge Zerg hive has been detected in front of us! It’s moving toward us!”

“Huge hive?!” The captain was immediately anxious after hearing the news and asked nervously, “What is the diameter?”

“Scanning!” The soldier quickly answered, then stared at the screen on the space carrier.

Soon, the scan on the Zerg hive was completed. When the soldier saw the result, he was stunned. “This… this is… 140 kilometers in diameter! Captain, 140 kilometers in diameter!”

“What?!” After hearing the news, the captain was really shocked.

A Zerg hive with a diameter of 140 kilometers! God, this is…

“Mutation! It’s a mutated Zerg!” The captain was so shocked he fell butt first into his chair. He stayed stunned for a full half-minute before shouting in panic, “Contact the Alliance Center immediately and report this matter! Say that we met the Zerg and require immediate reinforcement! I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for long!”

“Yes!”

…

The Universe.

It was a huge object.

It was at least 140 kilometers in diameter, and its surface was covered with countless rocky carapaces. The shells opened and closed from time to time. Each time they opened, the inside was exposed. It was a huge hole which was more than 30 meters in diameter. From time to time, 40-meter tall giant Zergs flew out from inside!

Mutated Zerg!

Such a hive was on a totally different level when compared with other Zerg hives.

The combat power of the mutated Zerg that flew out was terrifying. Each was like a large mecha. Especially scary was their defense. These mutated Zerg could even breakthrough into the atmosphere and land on Earth without taking any damage.

Ordinary carrier particle guns barely dealt them any damage—after all, they were large in size and their defense was high. The area covered by a single particle cannon was not large, and the effect was very limited.

This was not the scariest thing about them.

The scariest thing about these mutated Zerg was that they captured humans!

That’s right, they captured humans!

Once a human was captured, they would be sucked into the placenta on their backs for a second incubation! Those who were born again would have completely lost awareness and turned into faithful slaves—powerful slaves!

These human slaves were covered in strong carapace and had extremely sharp weapons in their hands. The most horrifying thing was, each slave was able to use the enhanced corrosive magic cannon! These corrosive magic cannons could even go straight through a Second-Order space carrier!

It was no exaggeration to say that every time a human encountered a mutated Zerg, it would have to pay a huge price. Of course, more often than not, in the face of the Zerg species and its slaves, humanity would lose, and the consequence was that the target planet would completely disappear from the universe and be swallowed in time.

At this time, the mutated Zerg hive was moving toward the eight space carriers.

It was very fast, and it approached the eight space carriers without stopping. Obviously, the previous battles had indicated that there were human beings ahead. And human beings meant that they could capture more slaves and make their forces more powerful!

…

“How is it possible to encounter mutated Zergs!” The captain was sweating profusely. He asked desperately, “How far are we from them? Everyone, retreat. Retreat immediately. No matter what, we must not be caught by them. Otherwise, it will be like sending them free slaves!”
