Volume 1 Introduction
At the edge of the Solar Cluster, at a height of more than 100 kilometers from the surface of a certain planet, a small spaceship about 100 meters long was quietly suspended in space.
The spacecraft is not large, but the internal structure is compact, with a cockpit, an arsenal, a rest room, a sleeping pod, an escape pod, a power room, etc.
Inside the spaceship, a young man stood in front of the main console, his eyes were attentive, looking at the beautiful planet displayed on the screen, and after turning on the terminal of the interstellar communication system, he called: "Hall, Hall, Spirit Catcher No. 1 has arrived at its destination, please reply if you receive it." ”
After a few seconds, the screen display area was divided into two, the left screen still showed the appearance of the planet, and the right screen showed a piece of snowflakes and then briefly distorted, and the picture finally switched to a young and beautiful woman's face with a cold expression, although the face was extremely beautiful, but the man's cheeks still twitched, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's the same old again, it's cold, can't you smile and give some warmth?"
As soon as the words fell, I felt a sour feeling in my waist, I don't know when, a young woman was standing beside her, her appearance was six or seven points similar to the woman on the screen, the woman looked at him sideways, smiling or not, her left hand was still tightly pinched on the man's waist, and her right hand gently fell on the bulging abdomen, but her eyes were gentle as water.
"Gold Medal Soul Catcher, congratulations, it's good that you're still alive. The young woman didn't seem to hear the man's complaints, and her voice was unwavering, and she explained in a businesslike manner: "I haven't received a signal from your spacecraft for more than half a month, and I'm almost about to report it." The mission file has just been transferred to you, I wish you success, remember to be careful, don't let my baby sister be widowed. After speaking, I only heard the sound of "stabbing", and without waiting for a reply, I unilaterally closed the picture.
"You've made my sister angry again, can you talk well next time. The woman next to her was helpless.
"No problem, no problem, don't take it as an example, don't be angry, it's not good for the fetus. The man smiled and said, his right hand gently hugged the woman, and his left hand also gently stroked the woman's bulging abdomen, with a look of underwhelming, "Our Yang family is such a lone seedling now, and the future depends on you." There are still two tasks left, so we have to hurry up and go home early, and go home and pack up. Your sister and I don't look at each other, you don't know, you don't care about this little thing, you lie down and rest first, don't be tired, good. ”
The man coaxed as he carefully helped the woman to lie down in the rest compartment at the back of the spaceship, returned to the workbench, and carefully browsed the documents he had just received.
According to the information provided by Yiyantang, the planet in front of him has not yet been reported by a country in the imperial capital, and it belongs to a barren star, the planet is full of greenery, full of alpine plants, and there are many birds and animals.
The man learned from the task issued by Yiyantang that he only needed to bring the marked Horcruxes on the planet back to the imperial capital, and then send them back after charging the energy, he could get a large bounty.
The highest mountain on the planet, covered with snow all year round, has a huge open platform at the top, and on one side of the platform is a cliff that is more than 10,000 feet high and slippery.
There is a circular altar built against the cliff of the platform, and a half-meter-long black iron rod stands in the middle of the altar.
The sun is rising, and the sun brings a touch of warmth to this bitterly cold mountain.
Halfway up the mountainside, a group of large and small apes rushed out of the cave, hugging a snow-white and huge snow ape, cheering and running towards the top of the mountain.
By the time the giant ape arrived at the altar, there were thousands of apes gathered around, and in the distance, many strange beasts could be seen, and at this moment, they did not attack each other and lived in peace.
The giant ape came to the black iron rod of the sacrificial table, sat down slowly, and stared intently at the iron rod.
Under the slowly rising sunlight, the surface of the iron rod gradually glowed with a faint golden yellow light, and invisible waves rippled out in all directions.
The great ape was closest to the iron rod, warmed by the invisible waves, and almost groaned in comfort, slowly closed its eyes, slammed its head on the ground, and prostrated itself on the ground.
As if infected, the surrounding beasts slowly prostrate themselves, and there was silence.
At the bottom of the cliff, the man is wearing a snow-white tight-fitting outfit and carrying a white backpack, the color and the environment are almost integrated.
The man looked up at the top of the cliff, moved his hands and feet, took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, only to see a steel claw "whoosh" flew out, submerged into the cliff above about three meters high, the man tightened the gold wire attached to the steel claw, quickly climbed up, and then reached the steel claw, then leaned out of his left hand, and another steel claw submerged into the top three meters high.
As the man's hands took turns to strike, the white figure rose rapidly, and the speed was not inferior to the ape that was active in the iceberg and snow all year round, which was really staggering.
About an hour later, the man finally climbed to the top of the cliff, his left steel claw clasped to the edge of the cliff, his right hand folded the goggles on his head, and when he pressed the button on the goggles, a bee-like metal object flew out of his head, and the image on the platform immediately appeared in the goggles.
In the past two days, through the observation of the long-range high-magnification detection equipment on the spacecraft, the beasts on the top of the mountain gather every three days, and each time this iron rod will emit a golden light, the beasts are prostrate, and the heaven and earth are silent, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this iron rod. Historically, Horcruxes such as Iron Bars can only be retrieved while active.
After the man adjusted his breath slightly, he saw that the image in the goggles was not abnormal, and his hands hooked on the edge of the cliff slammed into force, and his body rose into the air, a tumbling, silently and accurately landed next to the sacrificial platform, his hands clenched the iron rod like lightning, and a familiar feeling instantly came from the palm of his hand, and he lifted it upwards forcefully, pulled out the iron rod, inserted it into his waist, and without hesitation, he turned around and ran to the edge of the cliff, and flew out with all his might, and the whole process was done in one go between the electric light and flint, clean and neat.
The giant ape was the first to feel abnormal, and when he opened his eyes, he could only see a white figure disappearing from the edge of the cliff.
The man's limbs stretched out and descended from the summit at high speed, the cold wind blowing on his cheeks was unusually cold, but his heart was extremely excited, and after a few seconds, the parachute in his backpack automatically opened and slowly drifted into the distance.
Behind him, the giant ape on the edge of the cliff jumped like thunder, his hands beating his chest, and the roar of anger echoed among the mountain peaks.
Half a month later, the spacecraft arrived over another planet designated by the mission.
The next day, halfway up a mountain peak on the planet, on the edge of a huge cliff, there was also a circular altar, on which a fist-sized seven-colored stone was placed, which was emitting bursts of colorful light.
There are hundreds of people sitting under the altar, dressed in animal clothes, with a pious expression, with their hands clasped together on their chests, and in front of them there is an old man who is too old to kneel, with words in his mouth, and beside him lies a snow-white giant tiger, like a docile giant cat, with a pair of fleshy wings curled up on his back.
A steel claw "swished" out of the edge of the cliff, accurately grasping the colorful stone and quickly retracting.
I don't know when a figure stands out on the edge of the cliff, and after the hand, he jumps off the cliff reflexively, his hands and feet are stretched out in a "big" shape, and his hands and feet are connected with a solid canvas with his body.
When the old man ran to the edge of the cliff, he could only see a figure like a flying squirrel, gliding and flying away against the slope below the cliff, his heart was anxious, and his peaceful face was extremely distorted and deformed when he enjoyed the colorful light, and there was a low whistling sound in his mouth, only to see the white giant tiger around him roared, spread his wings, and jumped down from the edge of the cliff, his wings flapped quickly, and he was actually a tiger that could fly in the air.
One man and one tiger, one in front of the other, flew down towards the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a large low grove, and the man flew to the edge of the grove, quickly shed his wingsuit, and ran to the bushes at the edge of the forest, peeling off a green camouflage covered with branches and leaves, revealing a humanoid mecha about five meters tall.
The man quickly took out a spear from the side of the mecha, squatted down reflexively, and saw that the flying tiger was still a hundred meters away from him, and his heart was slightly determined, holding the gun in his left hand, and pulling the trigger with the index finger of his right hand without hesitation.
No gunfire, no smoke.
The flying tiger a hundred meters away fell to the ground one by one, and when he was about to pounce again, the man pulled the trigger and did not let go.
Invisible beams continued to shoot at the Flying Tiger.
Although the Flying Tiger's body twisted in pain, its wings fluttering weakly but unable to fly again, it still stubbornly shook its head and walked forward step by step.
Seeing that the spear could not be further effective, the man decisively turned around and slapped the mecha, opened the hatch on the chest of the mecha, put away the spear, drilled into the cabin, and quickly started the mecha.
The flying tiger, who had lost its restraints, did not hesitate and chased the mecha into the air.
In the mecha cabin, the man looked at the picture of the flying tiger following on the screen, both sighed at the strength of this creature, and felt sad for its ignorance before it was enlightened, as long as it was given enough time to grow, it may not be able to travel freely across the stars in the future.
Putting aside his distractions, the man was in close contact with the spaceship.
"Three, two, one". As the man's count ended, the mecha suddenly changed direction in the sky, and an invisible wave shot from the giant cannon of the high-altitude spaceship to the flying tiger below, only to see the flying tiger curling in the sky, and the wings struggled to flutter a few times, and then lost its life, and when the body was about to fall, the mecha that was turned back hugged tightly with both arms, flew upward, and finally sank into the belly of the spaceship.
The pilot part of the ship is at the front end, the rear end is the rest area, the middle part is open near the front end, and there are two wall cabinets on the two side walls, the left wall is marked with "Treasure Chest" and the right wall is marked with "Lark Box".
The man opened the "treasure chest", in addition to the iron rod he got last time, there were some miscellaneous items such as knives, swords, flutes, etc., which looked ordinary, but the man knew that it was very valuable, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was worth even the city.
The man put the colorful stone, held the soul bottle containing the soul of the flying tiger, and went to the "lark box" to put it away, and there were also some large and small soul bottles in the closet, although the bottle looked empty, but the man could feel the majestic power inside, which was also what made him different from ordinary people.
The man smiled and said to the pretty woman who was half-lying in the rocking chair and holding the baby in her arms: "My family doesn't know why, it has always been a single lineage, and it is rumored that it was under a spell, but it has not been broken in my generation, which is also a miracle." When I was a child, I heard my father say that a star beast broke into our star field 10,000 years ago, but he didn't want to be caught by our ancestors, so he refined his body into this boat, and refined the beast soul into a power source, which is really amazing. Although the soul of this flying tiger is far inferior to the beast soul of the star beast, it is extremely rare to be able to fly in the sky, and it is sent to the imperial capital to be sold to those families to cultivate and cultivate, and after hundreds of thousands of years, it is estimated that it is also expected to grow into a starry sky giant beast, and it will inevitably be a pity to throw it into the power furnace. ”
The woman smiled silently, her fingers gently teasing the baby in her arms. The newborn baby's eyes were closed, and the five fleshy little fingers of his right hand were tightly gripping his mother's index finger.
Although the family strongly opposes marrying the man in front of him, he just likes him, his strength is not outstanding, and he has been hovering at the level of a first-order samurai for several years, but his temperament is extremely free and easy, optimistic, and he loves tossing, and he likes it since the first sight, no way.
At this moment, a familiar voice was heard.
"Gold medal soul catcher, congratulations on successfully completing the task, but now there is a new task temporarily, not far from you, but you can do it easily, I wonder if you are interested in taking it? ”
"Oh, thank you so much, tell me?" the man said flatteringly, but his face was indifferent.
"The task is very simple, just go to the ancient earth to pick up someone, the information will be sent to you in a while, you go and come back quickly, I can't wait to hug my little nephew." ”
Without waiting for the man to reply, there was a "snap" and the picture was turned off again.
The man looked helpless and confused.
Isn't that a polluted forbidden land? When did it open to the public?
In the middle of the spacecraft, between the two wall cabinets, there is a three-dimensional star map, which is the star map that has been discovered by the solar galaxy cluster.
The ancient earth is not far away, and it is only a little bend when returning home, but if there is no star map positioning in the galaxy, it is not easy to find.
Three days later, the spacecraft began to descend over the planet at the designated location of the buoy.
When the ship descended to about fifty kilometers above the ground, it suddenly lost power and fell downwards without warning.
The interior of the ship was pitch black and chaotic, and there was the sound of collisions everywhere.
"Hunting geese all year round, there will eventually be a peck, do you have to explain it here? Damn the spell. This was the last lament in the man's heart, and out of the corner of his eye in the collision, he looked at his wife and children who were still sleeping in the sleeping pod.
Before he lost consciousness, he couldn't figure out how his ancestral treasure was said to have been used for 10,000 years, how could it break down?
On the stone cliff, a warrior in Tsing Yi stood with his hands in his hands, his face was slender, his eyes were deep, and he wore a simple bracelet on each wrist, with an extraordinary texture.
The warrior seemed to feel something in his heart, and looked up at the sky, only to see a flame sliding through the sky and falling into the vast mountains behind him.
