Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 126 Hong accidentally injured

Chen Yue had just left the top floor of Qianwu State Lord's residence and walked into his own practice room downstairs. Just as he was about to start practicing, a faint shout came from upstairs.

“Ah…Ah—”

Hearing McDaniel's screams, Chen Yue couldn't help but frown.

What on earth are the teacher and the third military leader doing up there?
It actually caused such a big noise.

However, he didn't have time to think too much and quickly connected to the virtual universe network.

Prior to this, he had set the smart assistant to do not disturb mode, during which no stranger could connect to his connection in the virtual universe.

Even if it is an acquaintance, the first attempt will only show that Chen Yue is busy. Only the second time can you really contact him.

However, there is now a signal coming in, which means that it must be someone Chen Yue is familiar with and will only contact him in an emergency.

Chen Yue looked at the communication application with a frown on his face. It turned out to be Luo Feng.

Chen Yue knew Luo Feng's character very well.

Luo Feng has always been cautious. He would never disturb himself easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
-
Virtual Universe Network.

"Luo Feng, what happened?" Chen Yue saw Luo Feng's anxious face and asked directly.

"Teacher, Brother Hong is injured!"

Luo Feng's eyes were red and he looked at Chen Yue anxiously.

Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen have long been sworn brothers and are as close as brothers.

Chen Yue has been concentrating on cultivation recently. As Luo Feng's teacher, he is not only an object of respect in Luo Feng's heart, but also a goal for Luo Feng to catch up with and surpass. Looking back at the time when he and Hong were adventuring in the universe together, they had already become like brothers.

"The owner of the museum is injured?!" Chen Yue couldn't help but be shocked.

How did Hong get hurt?
Before Chen Yue went to Qianwu Star, he remembered that Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen had already met on Qiulong Star.

Qiulong Star is the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Thanks to the relationship between Chen Yue and Brolin, no one dares to touch them there.

As long as Hong doesn't leave Qiulong Star, there shouldn't be any danger.

Besides, there is Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, on Qiulong Star. How could the problem possibly arise here?
Unless... they have already left Qiulong Star!

"No! Stay calm!"

Chen Yue warned himself that he must keep a clear mind. Luo Feng said that Hong was injured, not dead. As long as the owner is still alive, there is still hope!

"Luo Feng, don't be impatient. Tell me first, have you left Qionglong Star?"

Although Chen Yue was anxious, he still asked patiently.

"Yes, teacher, how did you know?" Luo Feng looked surprised.

"Don't worry about how I know this for now. Where are you now? What exactly happened?" Chen Yue asked anxiously.

"This is what happened, teacher." Luo Feng began to explain it to Chen Yue in detail.

"After you left, I discussed with my two brothers and decided to apply for the Universe Mercenary Apprentice Assessment."

"Assessment for the Universe Mercenary Apprentice?"

Chen Yue suddenly realized.

This was the entry test for the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the threshold was only level 1 of the star class.

Chen Yue had the support of the Lord of Qianwu, so he naturally didn't need to participate in such an assessment, but Luo Feng and the others were different. I don't know where they got the information from, but they actually participated in this assessment.

"I heard that the mortality rate of this assessment is quite high." Chen Yue frowned and looked at Luo Feng.

"Yes, teacher. But my elder brother said that the path of cultivation is full of dangers, and this entrance examination is to eliminate those who are not suitable for taking risks."

"Therefore, the three of us went to the Thunder World of Canglan Star together..." Luo Feng explained.

After hearing this, Chen Yue was speechless.

Indeed, Luo Feng possesses the golden-horned beast, and even without working hard, he can reach the realm master level.

However, if Hong and Lei Shen did not go through life and death trials, they might stop moving forward.

This assessment is conducted in the world of the world master. In addition to the dangers of the assessment itself, the greater threat comes from other assessors. Robbery and murder may happen at any time in order to plunder other people's assessment items. "Go on." Chen Yue said as he hurriedly said goodbye to the Lord of Qianwu. He was now extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Canglan Star immediately.

"In fact, we have already made preparations." Luo Feng continued, "Before setting off, we purchased 9 star-level ninth-order slaves."

Chen Yue nodded in agreement. Luo Feng and his team were indeed prepared for a rainy day.

For those who are participating in the apprentice assessment, it would undoubtedly be a wise move for those first- and second-level star-level newcomers like them to team up with eighth- and ninth-level star-level strongmen.

After all, even if they were lucky enough to get the test items, they could easily be robbed. People with insufficient strength would not even be able to resist or escape when faced with robbery.

In the original novel, Luo Feng only brought two star-level ninth-order bodyguards, but now each of them is equipped with three such bodyguards, a total of nine guards, which should be enough to handle everything.

"We first arrived at Thunder City on Canglan Star." Luo Feng continued, "There is a world created by a Realm Master. The headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance for this assessment is located in a villa more than 30 kilometers away from Thunder City. The Realm Master's world is on the second floor of the villa."

Luo Feng described: "After entering the Thunder World, there is an endless black desert under your feet. The gravity of the Thunder World is 3900 times that of the Earth. As soon as you enter, you will encounter the Death Desert, which is one of the most dangerous areas in the Thunder World."

Chen Yue nodded, thinking that this was consistent with the original book.

"Later we encountered a death dust storm. Fortunately, Babata reminded us in time, so we were able to avoid it." Luo Feng continued.

Death dust storms are one of the three major dangers in the Death Desert. They come suddenly and irregularly, covering the sky and the sun, and leaving almost no place to hide. Facing them, the only way to survive is to outrun them.

"After luckily escaping the death dust storm, we encountered a group of armored rhinos again..." Luo Feng's voice suddenly choked and his eyes turned red.

Chen Yue immediately realized that this was the problem. "Go on."

"We are not afraid of the group of armored rhinos because of our strength, so after discussion, we decided to fight them with the goal of obtaining the horns on their heads." Luo Feng explained.

Chen Yue nodded. The horn of the armored rhinoceros was exactly one of the items that Luo Feng and his team needed to pass the test.

"There were more than thirty one-horned rhinos in total. We originally planned to lure some of them away and kill them one by one," Luo Feng recalled.

According to the plan, they only needed to obtain twelve horns, so they wanted to disperse the unicorn rhinos, which was not difficult to achieve because of the low intelligence of these beasts.

"While we were fighting, Babata warned us that a human team was approaching quickly." Luo Feng continued, "We were already prepared."

"What I didn't expect was that they didn't attack us directly, but instead proposed cooperation. There are more than 20 people in their two teams, which is enough for everyone to get a horn even if they join us."

After discussion, they agreed to cooperate. Unexpectedly, after killing the one-horned rhino, those people suddenly attacked.

"Nine slaves fought desperately, but seven died and Brother Hong was also seriously injured..." Luo Feng's voice choked and his eyes were red.

Chen Yue nodded. He roughly understood what happened. Luo Feng was able to stand here, which meant that he was safe and sound.

"Didn't the owner use the Moyun vine?" Chen Yue asked.

"The enemy had a ninth-order star-level psychic who suddenly attacked in a very strange way." Luo Feng still felt a lingering fear when he recalled that scene.

Chen Yue fell into deep thought. He stared at Luo Feng with a serious expression.

"You mentioned there were two teams? Is the Ninth Prince Brolin among them?" he asked suddenly.

Chen Yue's thoughts returned to the original novel, and he remembered that Luo Feng had met Brolin.

His face was gloomy, because Brolin would not do that. After all, Brolin knew the relationship between him and Hong.

I secretly warned myself in my heart: "I hope it's not you. If it's you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Brolin? No..."

After hearing the name, Luo Feng thought about it seriously and then shook his head.

Only then did Chen Yue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, since you were able to contact me, it means you have found a safe hiding place for the time being. I am not so worried anymore."

"I'll give you two tasks," Chen Yue continued.

"First, contact Brolin and tell him that I asked you to find him and ask him to help you."

"Second, wait for me!"

After saying this, Chen Yue exited the virtual universe.
