This is a pitch-black airspace, like a substance-like black fog, shrouding the surrounding airspace for tens of thousands of kilometers.

There are hardly any signs of life in the presence of activity.

Even the asteroids floating in the black canopy were dim and deadly.

In the empty void, a strong wave suddenly appeared.

Like a pebble being thrown into a pond of ink, there are imperceptible black ripples.

The ripples gradually dissipated, and a long, narrow spaceship with a strange glow on the surface quietly squeezed out of it.

This spaceship, naturally, finally arrived at its destination after more than two months of continuous space jumping.

"Brush Brush ......"

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of urgency.

It was as if countless sharp blades pierced the air at the same time, constantly hitting the hull of the spaceship, but there was no warning in the line of sight or on the radar screen.

Zhang Tianjiu seemed to have expected such a situation for a long time, so he unhurriedly snuffed out the cigar in his hand, opened the fire control panel and pressed one of the black switches.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound.

The starry sky, which had been pitch black, suddenly shone a dazzling red light from the head of the spaceship.

Under the illumination of this special light, dozens of black strange birds with a body size of nearly two meters and huge sharp mouthparts on their heads revealed their bodies, looking like mosquitoes that had been magnified tens of thousands of times under a super microscope.

Under the red light, those black strange birds immediately let out a terrible scream, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared, leaving no flesh and blood.

The rest of the fish that slipped through the net quickly escaped the range shrouded in light and disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, using HeNe lasers to deal with these unsightly beasts, it really saves time and effort, I'm a genius!"

Zhang Tianjiu crossed his hands on his hips and smiled very brightly.

Ten minutes later, the ship slowly landed on an inconspicuous brown planet.

"What the hell is this place?"

As soon as the hull of the ship came to a stop, Amy walked out of the laboratory and glanced at the real-time holographic image displayed on the big screen in front of her, and her beautiful eyes suddenly wrinkled.

Although she is engaged in scientific research on weekdays, she basically ignores things outside the window, and is an out-and-out workaholic, but it does not mean that she is willing to stay on such a desolate and boring planet for a long time.

"Lonely and unheard, this airspace has not yet been marked on the interstellar map of the technological world, but I have given it a name, and from today onwards, this place will be called Shadow Canyon. ”

Zhang Tianjiu touched his big bald head that could almost see the figure of a person, and said with a trembling face.

"What kind of bragging, isn't it just relying on the fact that you have more than 300 years of ready-made information in your head than others? ”

Amy glanced at Zhang Tianjiu expressionlessly, and unceremoniously debunked.

Zhang Tianjiu grinned, and in a rare way, he didn't continue to bicker, but closed his eyes and began to recall the detailed information about this airspace.

The universe is vast, and even if the world of science and technology has developed to the point where it is today, there are still too many unknown areas that have not been touched.

For example, the inhospitable airspace where the Queen of Vengeance is now located is hundreds of light-years away from the Milky Way, and the route of the space jump passage is extremely complicated, and it was not discovered until more than a hundred years later.

However, Zhang Jiuye took advantage of the light of the traversers, and naturally he was familiar with the road, and controlled the spaceship through Xiao Taohong, and found his purpose in just over two months of interstellar voyage.

Before this trip, Zhang Tianjiu left all the members of the group, including Sima Qinghou, in the Weixi Empire and temporarily handed them over to Prince Gregory to be sent.

As the army of monks has further increased the investment of troops, the battle on the front line has become more and more intense, and now is a good opportunity to temper the team, if you always follow your side, although the chance of saving your life at a critical moment is much greater, but in this way, it also invisibly reduces the number of life and death fights.

In Zhang Tianjiu's heart, the real Predator has to go through countless battles, walk on the edge of life and death, and sublimate in battle again and again, so that he can finally stand out.

Become a top powerhouse standing at the top.

Relying only on advanced biotechnology means, the so-called "elite warriors" catalyzed are actually flowers in the greenhouse in Zhang Jiuye's eyes, and they are vulnerable.

As for Zhang Tianjiu's decision, the members of the group naturally raised their hands in favor of it, shouting one by one, and when Zhang Tianjiu returned to the Weixi Empire next time, he would ensure that he could see that the military rank on everyone's shoulders had been raised by at least two levels.

It's just that a few nights before leaving, Caroline first let Zhang Tianjiu experience the feeling of being completely hollowed out and coming out of the wall.

Thinking of those few nights, Zhang Jiuye, who has always considered himself to be energetic, couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

If it weren't for his background as a genetically modified soldier, he estimated that he might not have been able to stand up straight, and walked out of Caroline's room unscathed.

The last trip to the Chuck Empire can be said to have made a lot of money, not only won the first place in the Condor Special Forces World Competition, made the combat effectiveness of the Weixi Empire's army famous, but also brought back a lot of good things from the twin star system.

Among them, a batch of advanced biological experimental equipment from Dr. Julian, coupled with several non-export special equipment sent by General Shanno after the contract, Amy's laboratory was strengthened, and nearly 80% ultra-high purity CRT2 was further purified.

And Zhang Tianjiu also successfully succeeded, and in less than two months, he was promoted to the level of an eighth-order elite warrior, and his self-protection strength was greatly enhanced.

Today's Zhang Jiuye, it is naturally not a problem to blow up the mage with his bare hands.

Even if you meet a powerful archmage, you no longer have to be chased and killed like a wild dog to flee everywhere like before, with the help of the power of that BAT simple mecha, even if you can't win, at least you have a certain amount of confidence to fight alone.

Although such an upgrade speed was already very terrifying in Amy's eyes, it did not make Zhang Tianjiu satisfied, he knew how tight his time was to win this war.

After a few days of simple adaptation, the Ninth Master didn't have time to have a good time in the imperial capital, so he started a new plan non-stop.

For example, this expedition.

If there is not enough financial support, even if Zhang Tianjiu has the star map jumping route in his mind more than a hundred years later, he would not have imagined that in just two months, he would reach this dark airspace where no one has set foot.

The first stop chose to come here, Zhang Tianjiu naturally has its profound reasons.

Since he crossed two levels at a time and upgraded from a sixth-order elite warrior to an eighth-order, as his body functions have been greatly strengthened and cell activity has been greatly enhanced, the shortcomings of CRT's lack of purity have once again been exposed.

According to Amy's analysis, according to Zhang Tianjiu's current physical condition, if he wants to be further promoted to a ninth-order elite warrior, he needs at least a second-generation CRT of more than 95% purity, or even CRT3.

With the existing resources and equipment of the Vic Empire, it is simply impossible to refine such a high-purity CRT2, let alone CRT3.

After weighing it again and again, Zhang Tianjiu finally chose to set off with Amy and Iron Arm and started this new journey.

The airspace in front of him is somewhat similar to Alpha III, which collects dark flowers.

The biggest difference is that Alpha 3 is only an isolated dark planet, while Shadow Canyon is a dark airspace that stretches for tens of millions of kilometers.

Before the Alpha 3 mission, Zhang Tianjiu would never have thought of coming to such an extremely dangerous place to die.

Even if it is a special individual like Iron Arm, which is inextricably related to the dark power, you must be extremely careful, because if you are not careful, you will be eaten by a force beyond what your body can bear, and become a part of the dark starry sky.

At this point, from the fact that after the spaceship landed, the face of the iron arm, who had been expressionless, actually showed a trace of solemnity, and the danger of this place could be seen.

The group of mosquito birds that attacked the ship before were nothing more than the lowest dark social creatures, and they could only be counted as hors d'oeuvres.

In contrast, the silver fox Lori, who was incarnated by the dark elite, was extremely excited, as if she had smelled something familiar, and kept jumping up and down in the storage bracelet, shouting loudly with that immature childlike voice to come out to play.

The dark power here is undoubtedly a small difference compared to Alpha III.

It is necessary to go deep into the depths of the Alpha III Star Mine to collect highly active pearls, which are everywhere here, and even some asteroids, and the entire body is composed of such rare ores.

But Zhang's goal is not that.

Although the active substances of mother-of-pearl can help to improve the degree of CRT refining, there is a limit.

If you want to purify more than 95% of pure CRT2, only mother-of-pearl crystals that are more active than mother-of-pearl and are extremely rare in the entire scientific and technological world can do so.

And the desolate planet where the Queen of Vengeance landed has a large number of mother-of-pearl crystals buried deep underground.

Zhang Tianjiu is very confident that with the abundant resources here and the new equipment upgraded in the laboratory, Amy should be able to easily refine CRT2 with a purity of more than 95%, which will minimize the time for her to improve her strength.

Of course, opportunities and risks always coexist.

Before crossing over, Zhang Tianjiu had also inadvertently passed by this dark airspace, at that time he was already a third-order thunder warrior, and he was also very embarrassed by those dark creatures that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and finally it took a lot of effort to break out of the encirclement.

The valley where the Queen of Vengeance landed now is relatively the least dangerous place, and as long as the people inside do not leave the cabin, safety can still be guaranteed.

In order to maximize Amy's safety, Colonel Zhang, who has deep pockets, actually frantically added BAT molecules to the shell of the Queen of Vengeance as paint, which can be said to be indestructible enough to resist the invasion of dark creatures.
