Poverty makes me capable of anything.

How should we deal with this group of people?

She is the nominal core of the team.

But when it came to making a decision, no one dared to let her do it.

After all, Zhou Jieyu was not known for being quick-witted; she was not stupid, but she was not intelligent either.

Few people knew that her luck could be that good.

Even if they knew, no one dared to gamble their hopes on metaphysics.

Even the wisest person can make a mistake.

Even the luckiest people can have their misfortunes.

Let the professionals do what they're good at.

They're just ordinary people, I don't think we need to bother with them.

[Yes, I agree. The highest level they have is only level 47. Even if their numbers were increased a hundredfold, they wouldn't pose a threat to us.]

Our target is the spaceship of the Feathered Civilization; our immediate priority is to find their docking point.

But how do we find it?

This problem stumped everyone.

If it weren't for the army stationed there, they could have flown up into the sky to search for them.

If they dare to go up into the sky now, that army will make sure they never come down again before they are resurrected.

Moreover, because of the presence of this army, Zhou Jieyu didn't even dare to release the detector.

Who knows if they have any counter-tracking capabilities?

This is too difficult!

The crux of the matter is, why would this seemingly ordinary planet harbor an army capable of utterly annihilating us? It doesn't make sense!

Although the Feathered Civilization was powerful and ruled over a wide territory, they did not go to such extremes as to station an army capable of fighting the Star Killers on every inhabited planet.

There is only one conclusion that can be drawn—

This planet is extraordinary!

While other players were having a heated discussion, I didn't move even after going through several replays.

He felt that with his abilities, no one would pay attention to him even if he spoke up, so he might as well do something meaningful.

such as--

Clean the gun.

Use both your left and right hands together.

one two three four……

The wiping was done very gently and rhythmically.

Actually, retracing the steps several times is a way to adjust one's state.

The thought of the fierce battle that might break out next made it difficult for Chongzuo to calm down.

A surge of stimulating heat erupted from within the body.

Only the action of cleaning the gun could calm him down.

In that case, let's split up and proceed!

During this time, the others had already come up with a plan of action.

In the end, everyone agreed that those who were not strong enough should be allowed to repeat the process several times and remain in the same place.

Here, you can borrow these glasses. Keep an eye on those people here until we get the map and come back.

Zhou Jieyu handed the glasses to Chong Zoujidu, putting on the air of a reliable older sister.

He nodded, having walked several times with a wooden gait.

That's not bad either.

After watching Zhou Jieyu and the others leave, Chong Zou put on his glasses several times in the dimly lit wilderness, standing like a steady stone, staring unblinkingly at the ascension civilization people who were holding a gathering.

The people sat around a campfire lit with the husks of plants.

For some reason, while we were chatting, I saw an old man and a young man with a rush of blood to his head start arguing.

The old man pointed to the sky from time to time.

My back is so sore I can barely stand up straight.

But with their full-force momentum, they managed to force the young man back.

The old man pointed to his chest and launched into a tirade.

After that, no one spoke.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The gathering ended a minute later.

But not everyone left.

All the older people gathered together again.

He frowned as he walked back several times.

The highest-ranking person here is about my level; even if I get close, I might not be detected. I should still get closer and take a look.

Following the rocky gully, we slid down several times and soon arrived near the stone house.

But the light overhead grew dimmer and dimmer, until it was impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face. After walking around several times, they discovered that the young man who had been arguing earlier had come out of the stone house.

He stood on a rock and suddenly bowed deeply to the group of old people.

His reply was a smile that seemed to say, as if he had seen through the ways of the world.

"Eh-la—"

After a shout.

The elderly people who had gathered together began to walk in an orderly fashion toward the main road intersection of the settlement.

If it weren't for the glasses Zhou Jieyu gave him, the impoverished mechanic would probably have lost his way after several attempts.

Guided by the biosensing module, he walked at a leisurely pace.

In his view, the group of elderly people exuded a heavy aura.

It felt like a heavy burden.

That expression revealed an unwavering resolve.

It seems they are about to die.

"ceremony!"

The word flashed through my mind as I retraced my steps.

Could it be that what he saw was some custom of the Feathered Civilization?

such as--

In this desolate place, in order to ensure the smooth growth of young people, the elderly choose to give up their lives after reaching a certain age.

【Drip drip-】

At this moment, Chongzou suddenly received a call from other players.

How's the situation on your end?

I've discovered something unusual, and I'm currently investigating it.

【abnormal?】

【Um】

In short, you absolutely mustn't expose yourself.

【I see】

Revisiting these places again, I felt a little heavy-hearted.

Is this the kind of race they're going to attack?

In the wilderness, the old people boarded several dilapidated transport vehicles.

Fortunately, the car wasn't going fast, and I was able to keep up by walking a few steps on my power shoes.

After running for nearly two hours in the cold wind, I suddenly stopped after a few more steps.

What appeared before him was a mechanical city!

It was a spire-like building, like a medieval castle.

The sudden appearance of such a castle in the desolate wilderness is hard to ignore.

Not to mention the game also has special hints.

[Unlock New Map - Ex: Tower of Species Origin Part 1]

Recommended level: 145-155

On the player map, a dazzling crown marker appeared before Chongzoujidu's eyes.

When he opened the map description, he saw a long string of question marks.

Even if I wanted to keep all the rewards for myself, I couldn't; I'd have to rely on others.

Open the squad channel and after retracing the steps a few times, I suddenly discovered that my teammates were spamming the chat like crazy.

After scanning the area several times, they discovered that Zhou Jieyu had been exposed and was now desperately trying to escape.

[Missile, it's a missile]

Ouch, that laser almost hit my butt!

It's so hot! It's so hot!
