Chapter 1178: A Game of Cat and Mouse

Rumble......

The flames that spread across every inch of space in the star were pushed around by an extremely strong force, and a spatial crack with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters and as black as ink appeared in the void. Even in a star that is filled with a large amount of space power, resulting in extremely strong pressure and restraint, it can still shatter such a large piece of space, and you can imagine how terrifyingly powerful this is.

The void is centered on a point and shatters in all directions, like a domino effect.

Since the two sides were no more than a kilometer apart, and the area of the shattered space covered a radius of tens of thousands of meters, the three of them watched the space shatter all the way to their side, coupled with the huge shock wave formed by the regular collision, and their bodies retreated uncontrollably - it was no joke to be twisted into the spatial crack.

The distance of kilometers was opened in an instant.

The other party had launched a hundred rules in that short moment, but Qin Yan's side had only launched more than ten rules, and the difference in attack speed was nearly ten times.

In the minds of those three masters, this blow was enough to completely destroy Qin Yan and the others, after all, their attack speed was nearly ten times faster than that of the opponent's side, which meant that the opponent launched an attack, and they could launch ** attacks, which meant that more than twenty people on their side attacked at the same time.

However, they didn't know the rules of space alone, even if Qin Yan was only in the middle of the Heavenly Martial Six Heavens, his attack power was not weaker than any of them.

With him in the main formation, Hou Qing and Nina and dozens of living corpses launched at the same time, plus the increase in the formation, as well as the increase attached to the formation absorbing Zhou Tianxing's power, the gap between the two sides is not worlds apart: although Qin Yan's side is still half a step weaker, it is impossible to kill with one blow.

What's more, after a close hand-to-hand blow, it will widen the distance between the two sides, giving Qin Yan and them enough respite.

"Damn! They are still alive...... Chase! ”

The man who was the leader of the three exclaimed, his divine thoughts could extend dozens of kilometers away here, and he easily found the traces of Qin Yan and his party more than twenty kilometers away.

A chase.

One escape.

Whenever the distance is shortened to a very close point, the large array will launch an attack, with the help of space shattering to open up the distance between the two sides: when the distance is stretched to more than twenty kilometers, if the opponent attacks from such a distance, the power of the rules and laws will be sharply reduced after crossing too far distance, and there will be no threat at all, if you want to exert enough power, the only way is to continue to chase and shorten the distance again.

Qin Yan could feel that the pressure was much greater now than when he entered the star.

At that time, he only needed to help himself, Hou Qing and Nina recover their mental power consumption, but now he has to expand the dimensional space to the limit, so as to ensure that those living corpses are within the protection range and are not torn apart by the space power in the star, and at the same time, he has to preside over the large array and help Hou Qing and Nina recover their mental power consumption.

He casually broke the five glass tubes, poured the dark green spiritual liquid inside into his mouth, and the purified and compressed spiritual liquid gradually transformed into the power of the stars.

But......

In a short period of time, the replenishment of the power of the stars is not a problem, but the use of the power of the stars to restore spiritual power is very insufficient.

Due to the consumption of mental power in many aspects, the recovery speed is less than half of the consumption rate, so it won't take long for the mental power to bottom out!

What to do?

There was no other way now, the depletion of spiritual power was too fast, and he could even really feel that his spiritual power was decreasing at an alarming rate.

If it goes on like this, it won't take half an hour, and the mental power will be completely exhausted!

Wrong!

Suddenly, Qin Yan thought of another problem: their spiritual power was being consumed, and the other party's spiritual power was also being consumed. And there is a big difference, that is, the consumption of the other party is not replenished, so ...... The opponent's ability to sustain combat is probably not as good as theirs!

If the opponent forcibly fights to the end, it is likely to cause the mental power to be unsustainable, and it is really not certain who will die at that time.

The battle lasted for about twenty minutes, and just when Qin Yan's spiritual power was consumed by more than seventy percent, the fierce attack suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Hou Qing was stunned.

"Their mental strength is not enough, and they dare not chase us anymore." Qin Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then we ......"

"Recover your mental power as soon as possible, and then continue to mine gray crystals."

Qin Yan showed a strange expression and chuckled: "If they chase after us, we will continue to run, and if they don't chase us, they will continue to mine." ”

Isn't this a game of cat and mouse?

Of course, the three on the other side are cats and the three of them are mice, but this mouse has special advantages, and it is not easy for the stupid cat to catch them.

Since the hunt came to an end for the time being, the three of them finally had a chance to breathe, and under the nourishment of the power of the stars, a large amount of consumed spiritual power was quickly replenished. At the same time, the trio once again headed towards the stellar nucleus, which had flown some distance away, and soon entered the mining process again.

The three of them were probably also aware of Qin Yan's plan, and seeing that the pursuit became unlikely, the two sides launched a competition to mine gray crystals.

Since those three people are all masters of the Heavenly Martial Seven Heavens, they can completely complete the task of delaying time and defense by one person, although they do not have the power of the stars to recover their spiritual power, but when one person does these things, the other two can recover their mental power by resting, so they can also stay inside the stars.

In the next three days, there were a few more cat-and-mouse scenes, but each time it was the same as the first time, and the three masters repeatedly returned in vain.

Seeing that the gray crystal had been scrambled and mined by the two sides for three days, and it was about to be lightened, Qin Yan suddenly realized a completely new problem.

It is true that the other party can't kill him inside the star, but he can't stay here for a lifetime, in fact, with the large consumption of elixir and spiritual liquid, now at most he is barely enough to leave the star, what should he do next?

It is conceivable that the other party knows that there is no way to deal with them in the stars, and he will definitely use the advantage of being stronger in cultivation to return to the wormhole of this star system in advance: as long as the other party guards the wormhole, the three of them will be trapped alive in the star system just like the formation rescued before.

Contact the base and send more people over?

That's not realistic at all: if he does this, the other party will do the same, and both sides are seven-star civilizations, and their strength in all aspects is almost the same, do they want to consume all the strength of the country in this conflict?

There is another way.

Fly directly to a neighboring galaxy, but according to previous data, the nearest star system is also about 5 light-years away.

5 light years.

This number is an insignificant distance when performing wormhole jumping, but when it comes to flight or even space transfer, it is an astronomical number that frightens people to death.

At the beginning, it took Qin Yan and Hou Qing half a month to transfer from the earth's space to the wormhole outside Pluto: it is true that now their strength has improved, and with Nina, the speed can even be ten times faster than at that time, but the distance from the earth to the wormhole in the solar system is much worse than 5 light years?

The distance from the earth to the wormhole of the solar system is only 5 billion kilometers, that is, the time for light to fly for three hours, and five light years is the time for light to travel for five years!

So......

The trio worked tirelessly to travel with all their might, and it would take at least 60 years to fly to the adjacent star system!

By the time they arrived in the adjacent star system, the humans on Earth had already been killed by the Alphas, so this method was not feasible at all.

Shout!

The erosion of the power of space disappeared after eight days, and the three of them finally flew out of the star, and at this moment, Qin Yan's communication device sent a continuous message prompt sound.

Due to the power of space inside the star, high temperature, high pressure, radiation, gravity, and various factors, the signal cannot be transmitted at all.

When he opened the message, he found that except for a few messages sent by Eller asking about the situation here, most of the messages were not sent by Formation 51, but from the leader of the formation who was trapped in this star system.

At that time, when Qin Yan sent a message for them to return to the base, it was just when he had just deduced that the treasure was likely to exist in the stars.

Less than a month has passed since then.

The formation trapped in this star system is just a very weak regular formation, not only does it not have any decent masters, but even the battleships are not too strong. In addition, in order to escape, they hid far away from the wormhole, so they didn't have time to leave for a month.

According to the information on the message, when the drone they sent went to the wormhole to explore the path, it was destroyed again before it reached the wormhole.

This shows that the fleet led by those three top masters has already arrived in this star system before the formation has time to leave!

Yes, that formation, like Qin Yan and them, was trapped in this star system again!

That's why they kept sending countless messages to Qin Yan, trying to get in touch with him, but unfortunately Qin Yan was inside the star at that time, and there was no way to receive the signal.

"Damn it!"

Nina's face became ugly, and she said hatefully: "Now even we can't protect ourselves, we can't leave, how can we help them leave?" ”

"Perhaps...... It's an opportunity for us to get out. Qin Yan said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Nina was stunned.

"Let's go!"

Qin Yan took a deep breath, and after sending out a message asking about the location of the formation, he said, "Meet them first." ”

Today's Qin Yan and Hou Qing have improved their cultivation, and the distance of each space transfer has increased significantly, and after six days, they have crossed tens of billions of kilometers, and in the void at the edge of the star system, they found the formation that carried a batch of energy crystals, but was fully loaded but could not return, and was trapped in this star system twice in a row.

When the three of them showed their identity tokens and walked into the flagship, the formation leader from a certain race under the jurisdiction of the Tianqin Empire that Qin Yan didn't know about greeted him with a group of subordinates.

After seeing that there were only three of them, the leader's brows couldn't help but wrinkle: "My lord, where did your fleet go?" ”
