Him and their stars

Of course, the two imperial generals didn't know that just when the ship with the refugees arrived on the planet, a large insect chrysalis had already been hidden in an inaccessible canyon on the planet. The chrysalis was adsorbed on the rock wall of the canyon, growing countless tentacles that seemed to be made of sarcoma, and penetrated deeply into the cracks of the stone, like a cancer cell that was sucking the nutrients of the planet.

A certain "girl" inside the chrysalis is holding the only remaining crystal and communicating with her close allies for the last time before the official operation.

"I have followed your instructions and made those escaped slaves eat those things. Can I activate them as planned?"

"It wasn't possible before, but it is possible now." As she said this, she touched her abdomen under her chest with her hand. Her Leviathan's Nest is planted here and is applying this halo bit by bit.

After the "girl" said this, she thought for a while and then said: "However, I cannot guarantee that our little trick will not be discovered by the biochemical surveillance department of the Imperial Army."

"Aren't you saying that its performance is completely beyond the understanding of existing technology and that it is impossible to be discovered?"

It is indeed impossible to detect! "Girl" thought. In the past two years, she has traveled throughout most of the galaxy. She has had many interactions with the security inspection departments of various countries, and has also undergone strict biochemical quarantine several times. If it was really going to be detected, the protozoa as big as hundreds of millions of cells hidden in the stomach for many years could not be hidden.

"But if there are psychics at the saint level participating in the inspection, they might be exposed," she said.

When psykers reach the "Saint" level, they already have the spiritual insight to monitor microscopic things. Even if they cannot directly see the protozoa with the naked eye, they are likely to feel a subtle sense of violation.

"Is it possible for a psyker above the sixth level to work as a quarantine officer?"

"Who knows?" She also thought it was unlikely, but after pondering for a moment, she still said: "It's always right to be careful. Khan, I have only learned one thing from the situations I have encountered in this short year. , the more arrogant you are, the more you will find that luck has its limits. Every time you think you are about to succeed and let down your guard and get carried away, the pain of fate will follow. This has always been the case. I now know Well, the more powerful you master, the more careful you need to be. People on Earth have a saying of accumulating character, and I think this is very reasonable."

"What on earth are you going to say?" The Great Khan couldn't help but frowned - of course the Ero people did not have eyebrows, but the deep eye sockets tightened, and they suddenly had a sharp and dangerous beauty.

"Great Khan, I want to be a man of the law." She said seriously: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. If your side can't start on time, I will take the children and run away."

"Okay." Khan said.

This time, it was the "girl" who was surprised. She looked at the other party and then said: "...In this case, your situation will be a little subtle, right?"

"Anyway, I, the Great Khan, was pushed out to take the blame. To the marauders, each generation of Great Khan is just a sacrifice. Shalamir, whether you are here or not, the war will always start. "The Great Khan spread his hands and smiled: "You have seen the Silver Center, and you know the situation there. There are many mines, electricity, and zero elements, but there are not many places where people can live. If you don't go out and grab some, you will consume some. How can the population be sustained?”

The "girl" looked at the Great Khan's calm smile and also laughed: "After this cooperation goes smoothly, even if we run away from each other, we can't cut off the contact. In this chaotic universe, if you want revenge, , we need to unite."

"I just want to survive. Charamire, actually you do the same."

When the communication was cut off, Charlie pondered for a moment, then picked up the broken communication crystal again, swallowed it like the crumbs of potato chips, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Her vision in a spiritual sense has penetrated deep into the rock wall through the tentacles extended by the "chrysalis". Within the rock wall, in the huge natural cave, something very similar to fungi has completely covered the underground space that is large enough to accommodate the city. It was as if the ground, walls, ceiling, and even every stone pillar were wrapped in a velvet blanket.

Among those carpets, countless eggs of different sizes were twitching little by little and seemed to be growing vigorously. The worms that have hatched are like diligent worker ants, constantly swimming and busy among the densely packed eggs.

The "girl" climbed out of the chrysalis, spread her wings behind her back, and climbed little by little to the mouth of the canyon. Her eyes swept over the lights on the distant horizon, and then looked toward the distant sky.

She knew that the brightest star in the night sky was not the morning star, but the location of the Lion's Den Fortress. And now the insect swarm army that he had spent several days building, even if it were increased a hundred times, would never pose a real threat to that artificial giant structure.

That’s why “girls” need allies.

"Huh huh huh..." A cry like a large carnivorous reptile suddenly came from behind the girl. She turned around, but all she saw was a few tentacles protruding from the cracks in the canyon.

"Hide quickly!" She stretched out her hand and patted the tentacles, then stretched out her hand and pushed back, pushing back the huge figure that was about to emerge from the mouth of the valley.

"Okay, okay, I understand. You are my first king insect. I will give you a name."

The "girl" pushed the lord into the canyon, retracted her wings, got through a hole in the rock wall, and slid into the cave. She passed by the dragon worms that were lying against the ceiling like bats resting upside down, and also saw the springtail hydralisks and lurkers resting and hibernating on the platform. She passed through the velvet carpet formed by mycelium and goo, and flew deeper along the cave. Soon, she felt the burning heat and red firelight rushing towards her face.

This kind of high temperature that can instantly ignite the body of ordinary people is as comfortable as a hot spring for a "girl". She came to the source of the fire, which was the core of an active volcano sleeping underground. The lava flowing in the high temperature turned into a fiery red lake, and around the lake, many worker bee-like insects endured the high temperature and dragged a huge body out of the sea of ​​​​fire.

"Quack, quack, quack..." On the back of the huge body, several scorpion-like insects the size of small cars waved their pincers, seemingly dancing. They are queen worms. Like the king worm, they are also the lord class of the swarm and the nerve node that dominates the swarm. Their movements at this time reflect exactly the master's mood.

As for the huge monster that had been dragged ashore by the worker bees, most of its body was still soaked in lava, with only its head pinned to the shore by the worker bees and queen bees. But just like that, it was also a daunting behemoth, with just its round head occupying almost the entire space. The ferocious mouthparts were still trembling, as if it could swallow a dragon with just one swallow.

This is a Star Eater, the same species as the one on Sarna planet that was blown to pieces by the Titan ship. Although it can only be regarded as a weak cub compared to the adult insect that can cover the sky and destroy the planet, if it is on the surface of the planet, it is a terrifying creature that can cause natural disasters.

Even those giant Erax sandworms that can produce cosmic spices are just younger brothers compared to it.

"Thank me. Your body will become the main body of the insect swarm battleship, traveling in the sky and galloping across the star sea!" She put her hand on the head of the star-devouring insect and murmured softly.

The huge monster was shaking and twitching. It seemed that the "little girl" in front of him, who was as small as dust, was as terrifying as a natural enemy to Him.

"It's a pity that you so-called giant star-devouring insects are just artificial products of genetically degraded versions of the real planet-devourers. If they were the ones who caused heavy losses to the enlightened ones in the last civilization era, I would have confidence Going straight to the Heaven Realm... Uh, no, we can't get carried away."

The "girl" slapped herself twice in a sloppy manner, and took a deep breath to force herself to calm down. As a result, the scorpion queens that were dancing on the back of the star-devouring insect also stopped.

The "girl" stretched out her hand, and the scorpion-like hook blades behind the queens immediately stabbed into the Star Eater's body. The behemoth was still trembling, but its mood seemed to have gradually calmed down.

“I’ve indeed had a good fortune, and I’m someone with a battleship!”

The "girl" couldn't help but be ecstatic, but then she reacted and slapped her Piapia twice.

"I told you to calm down! Charlie! Don't get carried away, just don't get carried away! Even if everything goes well, I only have a Leviathan! It can't beat a newer Dreadnought Woolen cloth."

Moreover, even if there are dozens of these Leviathan bugs, they will not be able to cope with a real space war without the cooperation of various small and medium-sized bug species.

"I can't fight with just one hand..." she said to herself.

"Ah... Tsk!" Yu Lian, who was holding a hand, felt that his nose suddenly felt itchy and he almost sneezed. Although he had tried his best to hold back, the opponent opposite him certainly couldn't let go of this good opportunity. The short stick in his right hand was pointed at his neck, which was half a beat slow in dodging, and his left hand was already clasped together, like a hunting male. Like an eagle, it cut through the gap on one side and touched Yu Lian's shoulder.

He suddenly felt numb, as if he could no longer feel that half of his body.

This is naturally the unique skill of the Spiritual Research Society, and its scientific name is the extremely discordant "Zhengyang Juegen Hand" finger amputation technique. With this finger poke, the spiritual circulation of half of Yu Lian's body was locked, and even his nerves were directly paralyzed.

There was no other way. Yu Lian, who had one hand tied up, could only rely on one hand to fight the enemy. Facing an opponent like the senior brother, it was already very good to be able to persist for thirty rounds.

"But, what's the point of this?" Yu Lian asked helplessly.

"Didn't I tell you that I want you to feel the true way of balance." The senior brother said matter-of-factly.

"Yesterday, I was helping my left hand to start the fight. Today, I am helping my right hand. Is this a balance? Isn't this an imbalance?"

The eldest brother immediately showed a smile like "you are still young" and said with a smile: "Balance is imbalance, imbalance is balance! Do you know what is Tao? What is Mingke? Name? If you can't even feel the feeling of imbalance, how can you grasp this balance?"

It’s very metaphysical, so it’s also very psychic. Yu Lian said that even if he didn't want to believe it, there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the senior brother asked again: "Planet Sarna, we must have gone through high-intensity battles several times. You even defeated that Black Ross face to face. Do you have any new insights?"

Yu Lian thought about it seriously and said helplessly: "There is indeed progress, but it is just the progress of practice under normal routines. But if there is any feeling of enlightenment, there is naturally no such thing. Heiros's spiritual power level should be at He is above the sixth ring, but should be exploring. He is good at dimensional manipulation and space perception. He has strong mental power and perception, but the bonus to physical fitness is limited. Moreover, he is a Pallai man and has been using mechas for a long time. In fact, he has very little experience in frontal combat. If you, or any of the senior brothers and sisters were present at that time, that guy would not even be able to escape."

"That's your problem. If you understand the way of balance, that guy can't escape either."

"Even if I'm just a fourth-ring?"

"Even if you are only a fourth-ringed person! Since you can win, there is no reason to let him escape!" said the senior brother.

Although I always felt that there was some logic problem in this statement, the senior brother said it so confidently that Yu Lian had no choice but to think that this was his own problem.

"In short, the reason why you don't understand is because your current fighting habit is to take the path of storming and leaving no room for anything. You are a genius, so naturally you will have a little problem with showing off your strength. This is actually the same for Elinco." Senior Brother He smiled and said: "But you are balanced after all, so you need to get rid of your problems. At first, I cut off your spiritual veins by amputating your fingers and forced you to do muscle training. Now I force you to fight with half your body. It all means the same thing. As long as you If you can learn to block my attack with one hand during this period, it will be considered a success."

"Really?" Yu Lian's eyes lit up.

"Oh, by the way, I can only use amputated fingers to attack, and you can only use amputated fingers to defend!"

Yu Lian's face suddenly fell.

"This is just to make you understand the principle of balance." Senior Brother said earnestly and thoughtfully, like a worried high school teacher: "I want to ask you, why did you have to amputate your finger?"

"In order to cut off the enemy's yang root... ah, no, to capture? Well, to be precise, it is to connect the spiritual vein circulation and break the balance between the enemy's body, nerves and spirituality, right?"

The senior brother showed a teachable expression: "I let you master this kind of spiritual skill that makes the enemy unbalanced in an unbalanced state, but it can stimulate your understanding of the concept of balance. This is called doing the opposite. That’s it!”

Is there such a thing? Is it too metaphysical? Yu Lian was stunned when he heard this: "Exchanging the enemy's imbalance for our balance doesn't sound very serious."

"The elephant is invisible, the sound is loud! All the extreme irregularities are for the most serious goal." The senior brother explained seriously. His face didn't change color, his heart didn't beat, and even his eyes didn't change, as if he was convinced of his theory.

The Tao Te Ching is indeed a good thing! After all, Gao Yulian was a wild man in his last life and had not seriously studied orthodox cultivation methods, so he decided to give it a try. Anyway, he was idle, but he still asked with great interest: "This kind of cultivation method is the best for senior brothers." Learned?"

"Of course it was passed down from my omnipotent mentor, the old man." Tantai Jing said with a smile: "Of course, this is not entirely the hard work of the old man, but it is inherited from the gods and humans of the previous era."
