Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 72 Escape

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Taking advantage of the chaos it caused, the silver-gray spaceship quickly broke through the first wave of obstacles.

With Babata's reckless burst of speed, the spaceship rapidly accelerated to near-light speed and then sped away into the distance.

However, those adventurers blinded by the treasure will not give up easily.

"Damn it! Chase them! The space within the secret realm is chaotic; they dare not travel faster than light. They can't escape!"

Inside the small, silver-white warship, a young man with green secret patterns on his face angrily issued commands.

The small warships changed direction and quickly gave chase.

"The Kahuns Adventure Team has caught up! Let's go too!"

A thousand small spaceships of all kinds immediately followed behind them.

However, because Zhou Yang and his team reacted in advance, they accelerated to near-light speed even faster.

Without entering the dark universe, these pursuing ships can at most maintain the same distance from them, but catching up is impossible.

"Charge the C9 laser cannons! Shoot them down!"

On the small, silver-white warship behind, a dark opening lit up, and a huge energy fluctuation began to brew inside.

The next second, a huge white beam of light erupted and instantly struck the small spaceship that was fleeing ahead.

"boom!"

A layer of crystalline energy shield blocked the attack.

However, the enormous impact caused the silver-gray spaceship to shake violently and slow down.

The smaller warships pursuing from behind had taken the opportunity to close the distance considerably.

Meanwhile, a new round of charging has begun in the warship's energy weapons!

"Damn it, if the Meteorite Star weren't unusable right now, Grandpa Babata would have ripped your crappy spaceship to smithereens!"

Babata quickly stabilized the spaceship, his little face full of anger.

"Zhou Yang, this won't do! That attack just now depleted at least 15% of the spaceship's shield energy. At this rate, we won't be able to hold out until we reach our destination!"

Zhou Yang's face was also gloomy.

"Open the hatch, leave the rest to me!"

As he finished speaking, thick, purplish-red vines rapidly extended from his hands.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

Countless crimson vines burst out of the spaceship along the open hatch, then layered and deformed at the rear of the ship.

Soon, thick layers of rattan armor shields formed outside the energy shield.

"Buzz~"

A green glow instantly spread out, covering the entire Moyun Vine.

With the blessing of the Law of Wood, the activity and resilience of the Moyun Vine rapidly increased.

Next, the special ability "Vitality" is activated! Life energy is also injected!

A special genetic energy, accompanied by a large amount of green light, surged down Zhou Yang's arm and into the thick vines, instantly unleashing a powerful life force.

The protective capabilities of the Moyun Vine have reached their current limit!

Just as Zhou Yang finished doing all this, a blinding light burst forth from behind him again, and the second energy attack arrived in an instant!

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Intense white light bombarded the layers of thick rattan armor shields, instantly tearing and scorching the vines.

However, during this process, a rich green glow bursts forth, and the broken vines are rapidly repairing and regenerating.

Although the repaired vines were instantly torn apart again by the subsequent laser, it greatly consumed the energy of this attack.

"boom!"

Finally, after shattering all the rattan armor shields, the blazing white beam of light struck the spaceship's shields once more.

However, this time the spaceship's energy shield only fluctuated slightly, easily blocking the attack.

"Haha, Zhou Yang, the Moyun Vine has done a great job! It withstood at least two-thirds of the attack! This time, the shield's energy consumption was only five percent, and the impact on the spaceship was also greatly reduced!"

Babata cheered from inside the spaceship, "Just like that, hang in there, we'll be at our destination soon!"

"good!"

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and frantically poured his genetic energy and life force into the Moyun Vine. The broken vines regenerated rapidly and were restored to their original state in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

Thick vines, shimmering with a hazy green light, quickly coiled together, forming once again a massive vine armor shield!

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

The attacks from the small warships behind continued relentlessly.

However, after being weakened by the Cloud Vine Shield, the remaining attack, with less than a third of its power, was easily blocked by the ship's energy shield.

In the small warship behind, the young man whose face was covered with strange patterns looked extremely ugly.

"Why, why, how could a small adventurer's spaceship withstand so many laser cannon attacks in a row!"

However, the question in his heart was destined to remain unanswered.

"We're here, Zhou Yang, you guys get ready!"

As they continued their pursuit, the silver-gray spaceship ahead rapidly approached a massive spatial vortex.

This is one end of an entrance to a special space that adventurers in the Soul River Secret Realm often use as a "transfer station".

"Whoosh!"

The silver-gray spaceship instantly disappeared into the spatial vortex ahead. The Moyun Vine carried four figures out of the spaceship and then quickly disappeared into the exit at the other end.

Meanwhile, violent energy fluctuations erupted rapidly from the abandoned silver-gray spaceship.

"Rumble~~~~"

The moment the small warship entered the space vortex, the silver-gray spaceship violently self-destructed!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~Crack!"

The vortex-like passageways in these small spaces are the weakest points in the space itself.

Under the impact of the enormous explosive energy, the spatial vortex trembled violently, and even a slight sound of spatial shattering could be heard.

"Quickly, activate the warship's shields at maximum power! Prepare to withstand the impact of the space storm!"

The young man's frantic shouts echoed from inside the small warship.

The next second, the massive spatial vortex shattered instantly, and the space around the vortex disintegrated like a mirror.

The pitch-black spatial rift instantly swallowed the warship along with more than a dozen smaller spaceships that were relatively close behind it.

The densely packed adventurer ships following behind struggled to turn around, narrowly avoiding being swallowed by the spatial rift.

After a long time, the shattered space was gradually repaired, and everything returned to peace.

However, the spatial vortex and those warships and spaceships are nowhere to be seen here anymore.

"Holy crap, these guys are ruthless! They actually destroyed a small space!"

"The Nakahuns Adventure Team is finished this time."

Those adventurers who had narrowly escaped death watched this scene with lingering fear, a chill running down their spines.

Meanwhile, in another part of the starry sky billions of kilometers away, four figures quickly entered a disc-shaped black spaceship.

The black spaceship then accelerated away without stopping.
