Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 71 A Crazy Harvest

Around the dark red ancient star, wave after wave of red mist surged forth.

Occasionally, some odds and ends are spewed out with the surging tide.

"laugh!"

A streak of red light shot out and instantly disappeared into a huge world of plants.

Some people watching from a distance immediately became agitated.

"Damn, how many times has this happened? These people are so lucky!"

In just half a day since the start of the Soul River Tide, they have already witnessed at least four or five treasures being taken by the owner of that plant life.

What's most infuriating is that the person didn't even make a move; the treasures that emerged with the tide seemed to recognize their owner and willingly rushed into that enormous vine world.

Those around him were filled with envy, their eyes reddening with tears, but naturally, some people harbored wicked thoughts.

From a small, silver-white warship not far away, someone chuckled and issued an order.

"Hmph, even if you're lucky enough to steal the treasure, you still need to be alive to use it!"

"Keep an eye on them, and alert me immediately if they make any moves!"

"Haha, another Blood Soul Crystal in hand!"

Zhou Yang grabbed the flying red crystal, his face full of joy.

In just half a day, they had already acquired four treasures.

They consisted of two fist-sized Blood Soul Crystals, a broken scale branded with incomplete secret patterns, and a metal fragment the size of a fingertip.

Not to mention Blood Soul Crystal, that thing is an advanced version of Blood Soul Sand, and its effects are more than a hundred times stronger than Blood Soul Sand.

The broken scales, imprinted with some kind of magical pattern, were shrouded in an inexplicable divine aura.

Just a brief observation gave one a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Especially Luo Feng, when he came into contact with this broken scale, his mind was shaken violently, and he was directly plunged into a brief state of enlightenment.

According to Babata's analysis, the metal fragment, about the size of a fingertip, was a fragment of a natural F-grade metal, the Void Stone.

This little bit alone is worth more than all their previous gains in the Soul River Secret Realm.

"The frequency of treasures appearing in this direction is indeed a bit too high."

Zhou Yang pondered for a moment, his gaze involuntarily sweeping towards Luo Feng's direction.

His body was like a bottomless black hole, radiating a terrifying attraction.

At the hatch, endless dark red mist swept in like a tornado, only to be instantly swallowed up by him.

Perhaps it is this invisible force that attracts the treasures spewed out from those ancient stars to fly in this direction.

"If that's the case, we'll make a fortune."

Zhou Yang's face showed anticipation.

And what followed greatly satisfied his expectations!

"Another Blood Soul Crystal!"

"Wow, the leaves of the True Yang Grass! Zhou Yang, these can be given to the Cloud Vine to consume; they can greatly increase its growth rate!"

"This fragment...it seems to be a fragment of an immortal-level weapon! Unfortunately, the runes within it are severely damaged."

As the dark red mist continued to erupt, one ancient star treasure after another was swallowed up by the enormous vine world, while Babata's excited voice echoed continuously in his mind.

"You've struck it rich, Zhou Yang! Your gains this time far exceed the first fortune your teacher left you!"

"This Soul River Secret Realm is truly a wonderful place. How come I've never heard of it before?"

Hearing Babata's constant shouts and yells, Zhou Yang felt a surge of joy.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that their great gains were definitely related to Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone!

Because in their direction, only about thirty or forty treasures fly out of Taiyu Star every day.

And nearly half of them fell into their hands!

This extremely high yield cannot be explained simply by good luck.

However, because of this, tens of thousands of space adventurers around Taiyu Star have also set their sights on them.

In the past twenty days, Zhou Yang and his group have acquired at least three hundred ancient star treasures.

Those are all rare treasures on par with Blood Soul Crystals!

According to the information Babata gathered, a single Blood Soul Crystal is enough to fetch a sky-high price of over 10 billion Qianwu coins.

They now possess over three hundred treasures that are no less valuable than Blood Soul Crystals, a value that is absolutely tempting!

"Lock onto that group's spaceship! Don't let them escape!"

"Contact the Lonka family and tell them I'm willing to cooperate with them."

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant people. With so many treasures, it saves me the trouble of collecting them one by one."

Groups of envious adventurers have begun to secretly make contact, and numerous large and small spaceships are quietly approaching the giant plant life.

However, Zhou Yang was no fool; he had already guessed what might happen.

"We can't stay here any longer. We'll use the next high tide, when everyone else is fighting over the treasure, as an opportunity to retreat!"

He decisively issued the order.

"Babata, just accelerate to near-light speed at full speed, and I'll have Moyun Vine cooperate with you!"

"clear!"

Babata responded.

"Are we leaving already? What a pity, the Soul River Tide still has seven days left."

Thor still looked like he hadn't had enough.

Seven days! If they collect ten treasures a day, that's at least 70 treasures no less valuable than Blood Soul Crystals. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

"We have to leave. We've gained too much; everyone around us is probably watching us now. If we stay any longer, it'll be hard to get out!"

Hong, dressed in a black robe and with a cold expression, nodded in agreement with Zhou Yang's point of view.

Recently, adventurer ships have been intentionally or unintentionally circling around the vine world formed by the Cloud Vine. Even a fool could guess that they have ill intentions.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of star-level adventurers gathered around here. Even if only one-tenth of them have ulterior motives, that would still be at least tens of thousands of people.

Even if the Cosmic-level Cloud Vine is incredibly powerful, it's impossible for it to instantly kill so many Star-level martial artists.

Moreover, other teams also have cosmic-level combat power.

Once you get entangled, it's difficult to get away.

"Alright, get ready. We'll retreat immediately when the next large tidal surge occurs!"

Everyone in the silver-gray spaceship was ready to evacuate, and even Luo Feng, who had been silently studying the secret patterns on the broken scales, was woken up.

Around Taiyu Star, dark red mist surged like the tide.

However, the intensity of this fog tide is constantly changing.

As if constantly accumulating power, every now and then, a large-scale tidal energy would erupt around that huge red ancient star.

If we compare the normal tide size to the ebb and flow of the tide when there is no wind, then this large tide is equivalent to a towering wave under a Force 12 gale.

Generally, only during large tidal eruptions will a few treasures be "spit out" from the ancient star.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

Waves of red mist surged and spread outwards.

However, at one point, the regularly surging tides seemed to "get stuck" slightly, and after the previous tide passed, there was a brief period of emptiness.

"Get ready, a massive tide is coming!"

The adventurers around had already learned from experience, and upon seeing this situation, they immediately became excited and began to prepare!

Sure enough, in the next second, a powerful energy wave, many times stronger than usual, suddenly erupted!

"Splash splash~~~"

The faint sound of surging waves echoed in the vast starry sky, and a thick, almost liquefied red mist instantly gushed out from the massive Taiyu Star!

Meanwhile, within the surging, wave-like mist, streaks of light could be faintly seen shooting out in all directions.

"Wow, there are so many treasures this time!"

"Haha, I got it! I got the treasure too!"

"Get out of my way, this is mine."

"."

In the outer reaches of Taiyu Star, teams of adventurers instantly descended into chaos as they vied for the treasures that appeared.

At the same time, the vine world that had enveloped a large part of the starry sky instantly contracted and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-gray spaceship accelerated instantly and sped away from Taiyu Star!

Zhou Yang and his group had chosen a perfect time, but countless people were already watching their every move.

The moment they took action, a large number of people immediately reacted.

"Oh no, those guys are trying to escape! Quick, stop them!"

"Report to Lord Longka immediately!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

One spaceship after another quickly started up and chased after the silver-gray spaceship, with a large number of spaceships surrounding it from the front.

"laugh!"

A spaceship opened fire directly on them!

"Buzz!"

A transparent energy shield quickly activated, directly blocking the incoming laser attack.

"Don't slow down, just keep going!"

Zhou Yang gave a low shout, and thick, purplish-red vines spread wildly out along the open hatch, directly entangling a disc-shaped spaceship that was relatively close to them.

"roll!"

The Moyun Vine swirled wildly, dragging the spaceship forward!

"Quick, get out of the way!"

The two small spaceships blocking the way quickly dodged, but were still grazed by the wildly waving vines and instantly flew off at an angle.

"Don't get too close. Attack them with laser weapons to deplete their ship's shield energy!"

The intercepting ships tacitly changed their tactics.

They stopped approaching and instead maintained a considerable distance, beginning to attack the silver-gray spaceship using its laser weapons.

"Babata, fly towards where there are more people!"

Zhou Yang gave a low shout!

"clear!"

On the center console, Babata, dressed as a child in a black robe, had bloodshot eyes and a maniacal smile on his lips.

"Haha, it's been so long since I've felt this thrill! Kids, hold on tight, Lord Babata is about to set sail!"

"Buzz!"

The silver-gray spaceship swiftly turned in mid-air, heading directly towards the area where the spaceships were most concentrated.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several energy attacks followed and struck the dense fleet, instantly causing great chaos.

"Damn it, who attacked us? They're asking for trouble!"

"Get lost, don't come any closer!"

Not all adventurers around Taiyu Star participated in the pursuit of Zhou Yang. Some teams that were honestly "treasure hunting" in the Soul River Tide were affected and instantly became furious. Some hot-tempered ones immediately began to fight back.

"Babata, don't worry about damage to the spaceship, accelerate at full speed to the designated location!"
