Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1319: Chapter 704: Interception and Assassination

At this moment, the location of the three Star-Annihilating Starship avatars is in a ring-shaped asteroid belt hundreds of thousands of light-years away from an Eighth Level Life Floating Land.

Their purpose on this trip is certainly not this Eighth Level Life Floating Land, as with the current strength of the Scavenger Fleet, they are far from capable of targeting an Eighth Level Floating Land.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship is not weak, possessing the combat power to kill ordinary Eighth Rank Snake Demons, but an Eighth Rank Snake Demon and an Eighth Level Floating Land are two entirely different matters.

Leaving aside everything else, just the super Floating Land Shield outside is by no means easy to erase; even trying to tear a small crack in the Floating Land Shield is not easy, easily detected by the Eighth Rank Snake Demon stationed inside the Floating Land.

Their target on this trip is a Seventh Level Life Floating Land farther away; right now, they are only temporarily choosing this asteroid belt as a hiding spot during the buffer period of the Jump Device.

Yet fate would have it that just as the buffer period of the Jump Device was not over, a warning came from the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea Warship avatar over there.

"On the side of the asteroid belt, a fleet of over a thousand Eight-Armed Snake Demons has appeared..."

This was the message transmitted by the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea, according to its Black Replica Sky Patrol Radar enhanced to Level 90. It showed that this small team was traveling with the help of a High Rank Concealment Strange Object, which is why the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Dinghai Dragon Steed didn’t notice them at first.

Neither the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong nor Dinghai Dragon Steed is equipped with anything but a Golden Air Patrol Radar. For ordinary Star-Annihilating Starships, this might already be a top-rank radar, but for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the "Heavenly Eye" radar has implicitly become a lagging component of the warship.

Before Song Chi could think much about anything else, Song Yan’s voice came through again:

"According to further detection by my image warship, although this Eight-Armed Snake Demon team is small, their lineup is unprecedentedly strong. There are as many as three Eighth Rank Snake Demons alone, and twelve Seventh Rank ones, with the remainder being Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Rank..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the high-level family members in the group chat all changed. This lineup is indeed terrifying, especially considering it’s located deep in Eight-Armed Snake Demon territory. If they truly want to take action, the danger is exceedingly high.

Not only Song Xuancang and other high-ups but even Star-Annihilating Starship Captains like Song Chi, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, and Song Yan, were all somewhat hesitant.

From the previous great battle on the Young Snake Floating Land, it’s clear that if he truly wishes to eliminate this elite Eight-Armed Snake Demon unit, he certainly can.

However, the crux of the problem now is "the battlefield is located deep in Eight-Armed Snake Demon territory." If a swift victory cannot be achieved, it might provoke an action from a Ninth Rank Snake Demon Dominator across the void.

If that truly happens, the trouble would be immense.

Because relying solely on the three warship avatars, it’s absolutely impossible to take down the Snake Demon team completely. They must summon some reinforcements from the front to the battlefield here, which means they won’t be entirely without concerns. This is the true reason for their dilemma.

No conclusive decision had come from the group chat, yet a sentence from Song Yan became the final trigger.

"No, there’s something inside the Heavenly Serpent Mother Ship, three-colored... it’s a Three-Colored Light!"

"What, Three-Colored Light? Could it be a Colorful Lower Artifact?"

"Little Yan, can you confirm it?"

For a moment, the discussion in the group chat became animated again. Under the fervent gaze of everyone, Song Yan nodded firmly.

"I just remotely activated the ’Secondary True Vision’ feature of the warship avatar’s Sky Patrol Radar and can confirm that the Heavenly Serpent Mother Ship holds a strong Three-Colored Light!"

...

Upon receiving Song Yan’s definitive answer, the expressions of everyone in the Song Family present in the group chat changed dramatically.

Previously, most were hesitant, unable to make a decision, but now only a pure eagerness remained, representing their yearning for a Colorful Mythical Artifact and their determination to obtain it.

From the moment the family rose to wealth five thousand years ago, there has only ever been the Mythical Artifact, the Dragon Whale Hall, fortuitously possessed by the ancestors. Now that a second Mythical Artifact lay before their eyes, how could they bear to miss it?

Although the family’s high-level plans had reached consensus, Song Chi and others didn’t rush to take action.

Three Eighth Rank Snake Demons, numerous Seventh Rank Snake Demons responsible for escorting...

Carrying High Rank Concealment Strange Objects with them...

Hiding a Colorful Mythical Artifact within...

This collection of facts speaks volumes on many levels without a word being said.

"It’s almost certain this elite Snake Demon team likely belongs to a Ninth Rank Snake Demon. The Colorful Mythical Artifact within the Heavenly Serpent Mother Ship must also belong to that Ninth Rank Snake Demon."

"Their hidden transportation mission is likely to transport the item to the heart of those River System Communities, the Demon God Floating Land. So if we act later, there’s an over eighty percent chance that the Ninth Rank Snake Demon Dominator behind it will intervene remotely. We must prepare thoroughly before taking action!"

Serious words issued from Song Wujiang’s mouth, and then the Song Family high-ups began to engage in detailed discussion regarding this matter.

The rarity and value of a Colorful Mythical Artifact need no elaboration, so they must start from the worst-case scenario to plan everything following it, avoiding unexpected outcomes afterward.
