Chapter 266: Promise
For a long time, the tasks accepted by the three major mercenary groups are the highest level, and the team has some martial arts monks as the backbone, although these martial arts cultivators cannot be compared with Yi Shuihan and other peak streams, but in the Bright Federation is also considered a force, there are often small countries to invite the demon flame to make a move, as long as there is money, you can solve a lot of border problems, the division king and the red and black strength are slightly secondary, in the interstellar these three mercenary organizations have been famous for a long time.
Many years ago, Demon Flame accepted a mysterious expedition mission, the employer is from a nominal charity in the Federation, and it is difficult to say whether the forces behind him have any connection with the twelve chaebols, in short, the reward given at that time was quite high, before the mission, Demon Flame conducted some simple investigation work according to the custom, and asked a wise person to assess the risk, and did not notice anything wrong, but things are not as simple as thought.
Later, the more he came into contact with the core of the mission, the greater the lurking danger became, and he had to be forced to unilaterally terminate the peace treaty at the expense of many mercenaries.
There is a clear provision in the terms of employment that if the risk level is raised to a special level, the agreement can be unilaterally terminated, and the charity is very sorry for the loss of the Demon Flame, and added part of the honorarium, which is quite satisfactory to such a generous employer, Liao Yanwang.
After another period of time, Red and Black, and Shiwang also intervened in this expedition one after another, but unfortunately they also returned with a feather, and the charity seemed to be eager to get something, and it also invited martial arts masters to go several times, but there were not many who could come back.
Two years ago, the charity brought together the three mercenary groups to prepare for a joint operation, and the king of Liao Yan did not want to cooperate with Benjamin, but for the sake of the astronomical amount of first payment, it was really a great operation, and it was rumored that the royal family of the Angel Empire had invited them to quell the civil strife. For a while, there were different opinions, and few people knew their true whereabouts.
For expedition missions, the only clue is an old sheet of warm fiber paper. There is a painted painting on it, which depicts a splendid seven-colored umbrella, a golden hut, and a long-necked jade lamp, all of which are textually explained, but unfortunately there is no record of the bell in the archives of known civilizations, everything is a mystery, as long as you are not a fool, you can guess that the employer must have concealed more important clues, but this is not the point, the key is strength.
Liao Yanwang, Emily, and Benjamin all participated in the expedition two years ago, and the results can be imagined, and now they are looking for Yi Shuihan to cooperate with them speaks for themselves.
Until today, the task has not been invalidated, and the remuneration has been increased again according to the risk level assessment, with an amount of as high as 8.1 billion blue gold credits, and the three of Liao Yan have even been sure that there are big chaebols behind them. That's enough money to buy a fairly bountiful asteroid, and any mercenary organization would be willing to take a risk for it. What's more, now that the war between humans and the Morgan has begun, the chaebol maliciously hoards strategic materials, and the price of all resources is rising. The reward for fighting hard in the Phoenix Galaxy is nothing, and if the mercenary group does not break up in the future, it must have a strong economic backing, and in a hurry, the three of them thought of Yi Shuihan and the elite organization Mu Twenty-four under him.
Hearing this, Yi Shuihan nodded, these mercenaries are strict enough, and they skillfully avoid the location and details of the task, eight billion is not a small number, and anyone will take a few heavy breaths. However, it also shows a problem, that is, the process of carrying out the task will be very dangerous, and I believe that with the strength of Mu Twenty-four now, it is still no problem to get out of the predicament, which is also an affirmation of Guanghu and others.
Looking at the three leaders sitting opposite, they were very eager to know the decision of the honorary elder of the Mu family, there was no need to sell anything, in fact, encountering this kind of powerful expedition task was exactly the result that Yi Shuihan wanted.
"Brother Liao. I have decided that Mu Twenty-Four will participate in your expedition mission, but I must also make the specific situation of the mission clear, Mu Feng guarantees that he will not break the rules of the mercenaries here, and he will definitely go all out in case of crisis. ”
King Liao Yan lifted his glasses and said happily: "Great, I'm really afraid that you won't agree, the risk level of eight and one billion may not be the limit, out of secrecy from the employer, so I didn't introduce the matter clearly just now, and I hope Elder Mu will not be surprised, and Emily will explain it below, Red and Black have found some clues in the task." ”
Emily didn't shirk either, in fact, she had already been prepared, flying a button light brain from the palm of her hand to hold up a star map.
Slender Jade pointed to the center and said: "Elder Mu, please look, this is the area we are going to explore, KG 327 uninhabited small galaxy, due to the remote location, you can only find the specific identification on the star map of the planetarium, but our employer provides a very convenient wormhole, you can do it in three or four days after arriving here." However, the first problem lies in the wormhole, which is too stable, and it is certainly not a product of natural formation, but a deliberately opened tunnel, and the formation age is also very long, which should be left over from ancient civilizations. ”
Yi Shuihan raised his hand slightly, and the mechanical beetle on the wall of the reception room flashed a layer of golden light, which was Xiao Liudi's thinking body, and the star map presented by the button light brain instantly hit the main light screen in the room.
A lively half-crystal half-mechanical beetle landed on Yi Shuihan's shoulder, only to see it waving its tool forelimbs and said excitedly: "Boss, I have already checked, this is indeed the KG three hundred and twenty-seven star system, fortunately, the information copied by the naturalist bracelet is detailed, otherwise I really can't find this place." I can't imagine that there is such a strange thing in the sea of stars, the three planets in the galaxy are strikingly similar, and the diameter error between them is no more than 100 meters, if it is naturally formed, it is really hell, even if it is artificially created, it is a miracle? Unless you take a super laser weapon to carve it a little bit, it is tantamount to a fantasy to give birth to three peer stars of equal diameter in the universe together, so it is weird! And it's weird! Astronomers mapping the stars should have discovered it long ago, and the Morgans couldn't ignore this unique phenomenon during their reign over the galaxy? There is only one possibility that these three planets were recently discovered. ”
Yi Shuihan introduced very politely: "This is my think tank Xiaoliu, he is not a human being, he is one with the spaceship, Miss Ai, please continue, I promise he will not intervene again." ”
Emily and Benjamin exchanged a look, although they didn't see the true face of Xiaoliulushan, but they could feel that it was a heretical and powerful existence, and the mechanical beetle was very correct in its analysis, which was the same as what the wise man invited at the beginning.
The Twenty-Four Pyramids of Wood were originally mysterious, even beyond the scope of cognition, but I didn't expect that there were incredible lives on the ship, it seems that the Mu family of the Xinghui Dynasty is very good. Both of them thought so, but they would never have guessed that the strange pyramid was a cosmic home built by Yi Shuihan who had accumulated his family wealth step by step, and outsiders naturally attributed the spaceship to the Mu family's investment, and it was common sense to think so.
With a straight look, Emily affirmed: "That's true, the three planets of KG 327 are not accompanied by moons, and they are surprisingly similar in size. According to the results of our field investigations, the materials that make up the planets are the same, they are all hard granite, and it is more appropriate to say that they are not so much planets as stone balls.
We have made some special discoveries in the exploration of these three planets, and based on the radioisotope comparison of granite samples, it can be concluded that the star KG has been releasing a large amount of special radiation into space for thousands of years, which has led to the aberration of all observation methods beyond two light-years. Thus obscuring the existence of three planets, for some reason, this radiation suddenly stopped hundreds of years ago, and the international star map was automatically updated by the light brain, and three more planets were mapped and mapped fifty-nine years ago. It did attract the attention of some astronomers at the time, but it was artificially covered up.
The star charts we use today have the correct appearance of KG 327 if they are detailed samples of the Federal Planetarium downloaded within 59 years, but who would notice that they are so different from the vast sea of stars? Even if it is a professional surveying and mapping light brain, it will take a hundred years to be detected by chance.
Elder Mu, please look at the star map to enlarge, there is no life emblem material on the surface of these three planets, in fact, there are many terrible dangers lurking, and with the three-star orbit as the boundary to build the inner and outer three layers of space, there are unimaginable things, the outermost space is pregnant with a special life active in the form of electromagnetic waves, or it can't be called life, those things are definitely weapons, a lethal weapon against organic creatures and metal ships.
We can only describe these things as 'invisible field energy particle clusters', and the mercenaries involved in the operation are used to calling them 'magnetic wave plagues', these special field energy particles can emit strange magnetic waves, and infiltrate the spaceship, once contaminated, with the help of the communication channel between the ships to carry out a 'jumping' replication. Brother Liao's first action was obstructed by him. ”
Liao Yan Wang interjected: "At the beginning, we only released some satellites when we did exploration, and three of them did not return, and we thought it was just caused by abnormal electromagnetic waves, and we realized that it was not good when the large team entered, but unfortunately it was too late, if we were more cautious at the beginning, I am afraid that we would not sacrifice so many subordinates." ”
Emily also regretted it, but the loss of red and black after that was not small.
"The second time, Red and Black and Shiwang jointly operated, we purchased a magnetic wave jamming device, although we also have images of our own actions, but the impact of those magnetic wave plagues is almost negligible. After going through all the dangers and finally landing on the outermost planet, at this moment those abominable magnetic wave plagues have become the best signpost, we can easily find a rock hall thousands of meters underground, but the number of field energy particles in the temple is impossible to count.
In order to complete the mission, we created a huge network of magnetic interference, and after paying the price of blood, we finally removed a crystal egg from the shrine of the temple, which was resistant to detection by all known means, and I wondered if the employers had no interest in buying it, as if they already knew what the egg was.
According to the agreement, the mercenary group will receive half of the remuneration if they find items related to sun umbrellas, golden houses, and jade neck lamps, provided that the employer agrees.
After half a month of preparation, Benjamin and I led the team to the second dimension, which was also full of dangers, and the preparations had been done very well in advance, but we still fell into a crisis. There we encountered the damn linear radiation web, which was also plagued by magnetic waves, but this time they played the role of spiders, not too many, but extremely powerful, as soon as they touched any of the field nets, the ship would be crushed and deformed by alien magnetic waves, compared to the first layer of space, those field energy particle clusters were just fleas.
In the third action, we received strong support from the employer, and they asked a young creator to make a wave frequency fork, which is like a tuning fork, and as long as it vibrates continuously, those huge field energy particles will briefly escape. On the second granite planet, we also found a crystal egg, but unfortunately no other clues were found.
In the third dimension we encounter an even more terrifying vortex of field energy particles, where there is little way to navigate. Moreover, those vortices change from time to time, and can completely crush matter into a pure molecular structure, so that all three of our mercenary groups are unable to continue and are ready to give up the mission, but the employer has renewed the agreement, and the people they have sent have not gained, even the peak masters, so the price is so high. ”
Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, these field energy particle clusters called "magnetic wave plagues" should be alien cosmic lifeforms, just like the various ghost communities seen in the soul sea at the beginning, according to Emily's description, only extremely powerful spiritual power should be able to play a role. And in an invincible position, now if you want to summon the soul sea army, there is still a Celestial Trench Badge missing, and the defense of the Netherworld Suit also depends on the increase of the Celestial Trench Badge, it is a pity to really use it, if you can get a batch of "Magnetic Wave Plague" can fully play an effective role in the war, but this thing must be injured by both enemy and me, maybe the Yuan Magnetic Guardian Spirit has a way to subdue it.
In any case, KG 327 has a very strong temptation for tomb robbers. The two sides hit it off and decided to take a risk, and Mu Twenty-Four had one more task on his itinerary.
Xiao Liu arranged according to the path, and the first stop was to go to the two devil stars to subdue the shadow beast and invite the star giant out of the mountain; The second stop is to buy supplies from Prince Tairui in Wanye Guozhao; The third stop is to explore the Xuanyuan Grand Cemetery; The fourth stop is to cooperate with the three major mercenary groups to explore the KG system; Fifth Station Skull Star; The sixth stop is the Nether Garden.
The itinerary was full, Yi Shuihan even had a big head, and agreed with King Liao Yan to meet in the KG galaxy in two and a half months.
After sending away the three Liao Yan kings, Yi Shuihan returned to the control room, and Mu Twenty-four's life was as usual. For the Daewoo Galaxy, Hanpa Star only knows that it is very cold there, and there are ice corals that produce ice certificates, and other information is pitiful, so I have to admire that the dead fat man is very good at picking a place to build a mausoleum, but I want to see what treasures are left behind.
Xiao Liu hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you about to leave?" I can't wait, the nest is back as good as new, and there's another unexpected good thing that you'll be happy to hear. ”
"Oh? Meddlesome? Let's hear it. ”
Xiao Liu opened the light screen and revealed: "Look, this is our antimatter duckweed pool, I found it very unusual during the war, after the mottled energy of the outside world reached a critical value, it actually transformed the source ability released by many martial arts cultivators into the purest cathode energy liquid, I deliberately collected it on the battlefield during the repair of the battle nest stage, and currently has a reserve of thirty cubic meters. ”
Yi Shuihan was greatly relieved, patted his chest and said, "Gollum, do you hear me?" You finally have the hope of becoming a real super-level war beast, but I have even higher hopes for you and Fat Dun, once you have the opportunity to become a high-level war beast in order to help in the highest level of battle, let us challenge the limit together! ”
Gollum knows, and lets out a slight dragon groan, full of hope for another evolution.
Bidding farewell to Mu Yunhe and Tsukasa Spirits and other predecessors, Mu Twenty-four flew towards the Devil Star, and was not sure about inviting Xingkui out of the mountains and rivers, after all, it was an ancient general, and there was no reason for people to take risks for human beings, drinking and sleeping in the abyss, and the days were just free, and it was somewhat hesitant to go to the invitation, so it was more certain to go and subdue the Shadow Beast first.
The pyramid threw a series of lights and shadows in the universe, the speed was beyond the reach of any spaceship, and it only took five days to rush to the Devil Star that had taken the risk, and Xiaoliu suddenly stopped castrating millions of kilometers away, and several light screens in the control hall ejected out, and the outside of the spacecraft entered a camouflage state, surrounded by a layer of black.
All the members of Mu Twenty-Four rushed to the hall, Yi Shuihan stared at the light screen tightly, his face was cloudy, and the radish even raised his eyes, and scolded angrily: "pig, damn it, it's so cruel, my shadow beast!" Boss, tell me to kill them all. ”
Yi Shuihan was also angry enough, more than 500 flat vertical crescent battleships gathered in outer space of the Devil Star on the light screen, this is definitely not the standard ship of any country, and its combat effectiveness can be counted from the appearance alone is definitely not ordinary, but these fleets have erected more than a dozen cages in space, all of which are surrounded by a thick power grid, and there are more than 300 martial arts cultivators with giant electric forks who are taming beasts there, as long as they are not obedient, they will be immediately bombarded by the gunfire on the battleship, and the only eyes of the Shadow Beast are marked with metal seals, and their abilities do not work at all, The older Shadow Beasts could still withstand the light cannons, but those who were younger were exhausted by the low temperatures of outer space, and they were ravaged and died.
These people's methods are too cruel, Radish cried after scolding, crying very sadly, and more contact with the Golden Shadow Beast made him treat these war beasts as children and relatives, he was originally an orphan, how could he hold himself when he saw the little beast being treated like this?
Knowing that there are attack beasts in the Devil Star, except for Mu Twenty-four, there is only the Suzaku Gate of the Angel Empire that has been pursued, but I didn't expect that the rival also hit the head of the Shadow Beast, these are the legacy left by the Grand Duke of Xuanyuan, in Yi Shuihan's subconscious, he has long owned the Shadow Beast, but he didn't have time to take it for a while, and now that he has the superior conditions of the Battle Nest, he naturally wants to take them out, but now that this situation occurs, how can he be calm in his heart?
"Little Liu, be careful to lurk forward, prepare for a sneak attack, everyone cheer up and prepare for war, and fight me to the death."
Radish wiped her tears and took out the Shadow Scepter, a monstrous wave of resentment welled up in her heart, calling out to the five Golden Shadow Beasts in a low voice, and after a brief exchange, a roar came from the bottom of the pyramid.
