Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 63 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Faced with the attack of the giant butterfly, those alien nations that could escape scattered like birds and beasts. The nation with tens of billions of people built around a star was completely destroyed in the void storm.

Looking at the images transmitted back by the detector, Liu Wen and his companions felt their heads buzzing. Are these local aliens so spineless? You should at least resist. It's no use just running away.

"What should we do next?" Wu Shuhe said, "Although these aliens have suffered heavy losses, their combat power has not been greatly reduced. Once we go to their mines to rob minerals, there is a high probability that they will send a large number of troops to retaliate against us."

Bai Haitang thought for a while and said, "Why don't we split the troops into two groups? The mining team will go one way, and the main fleet will take these giant butterflies around first, visiting important locations of the alien race to disperse them, and then the mining team will go to the mine to mine."

"Of course it's possible, but the mining team can't keep up with the speed of the butterflies' destruction, and the star creatures will also get tired. No one can tell when they will stop chasing. We have to be prepared to attract hatred." Luo Shaohua reminded.

Liu Wen looked at the giant butterflies still wreaking havoc in the alien star system and asked, "Have you ever thought about why these butterflies keep following us? Did we just scare them and then they ran away?"

After hearing Boss Liu's question, everyone fell silent for a moment. This was the question they wanted to know.

Although most of the star creatures feed on psychic materials, it is reasonable to say that the large amount of psychic minerals in the fleet attracted them. However, in the capital of the alien civilization, the psychic reaction is stronger and there are more related materials, but they did not eat them. Instead, they directly incited the void storm and destroyed the main body of the city.

After much calculation, everyone still couldn't figure out why this group of butterflies kept chasing the fleet.

"Is there anything in the fleet that attracts them?" Bai Haitang said meaningfully.

"There's nothing special. Why don't we give it a try?" Shirley frowned.

"Perhaps the so-called special is different from what we imagined." Michelle seemed to have thought of something: "To the subspace, we are outsiders. Things that we are accustomed to may not be regular items here."

"Butterfly-shaped space creatures are huge, so the amount of things that can attract them must be huge. Psychic minerals should not be counted as these are originally collected in the subspace."

"Besides psychic minerals, there is only one thing that is rich in energy and has the largest reserves in the fleet."

Several people's eyes lit up: "Synthetic element 92?"

"Synthetic element No. 92 has relatively stable physical properties, and its energy burst is relatively mild, but can star creatures really eat this thing?" Wu Shuhe asked uncertainly.

"Let's give it a try. If it's true, it will be interesting. We may not be the only ones being hunted by the star creatures." Luo Shaohua smiled happily while holding the thermos cup. After all, they are only a medium-sized fleet, and their fuel reserves are not even ranked among the human fleets. If they are being chased by the star creatures, then one can imagine the current situation of other large fleets.

They did it right away. The supply ship dropped a large can of diluted synthetic element 92 at the jump point, and then the fleet split into two groups and fled separately.

When the Butterfly caught up with the main fleet, it jumped towards the alien mining star system. At the same time, hundreds of escort-class battleships and reconnaissance ships were sent out to explore the interior of the nebula and find suitable jump points for the subsequent jump of the fleet.

The giant butterfly that caught up with them swallowed the storage tank containing synthetic element No. 92 in front of the detector. Michelle's guess was confirmed. This group of star creatures really had their eyes on their fuel.

It was easy to deal with the problem after figuring out the reason. The fleet had a lot of fuel reserves. After replenishing all the warships, there were still nearly 10 million cubic meters of fuel left, equivalent to one month's full-load output of the fleet. Each time they jumped, they dropped dozens of cubic meters as bait, leading the butterfly creature all the way to the interior of the nebula.

The Star Fleet brings the butterfly creatures to destroy alien countries and attack their manpower. The mining teams pick and choose high-value psychic minerals in the rear, or seize some precious materials and technological information from the destroyed alien civilizations.

Ten days later, the Star Fleet, along with the butterfly creatures, destroyed nearly a hundred alien countries. Some reconnaissance ships locked onto their targets, specifically picking out the second-tier alien civilizations that were rich in resources.

After ten days of intensive work, the mining team had used more than half of the cargo holds of the ten transport ships. Due to time constraints, the collected minerals had not yet been refined and purified. The total transport volume of 40 billion cubic meters was now filled with nearly 20 billion cubic meters. After purification, there would only be about 8 billion cubic meters. The total value was estimated to have reached 170 billion contribution points.

This is the apparent income. Other special materials and technological information snatched from the void storm have not been taken into account, and there is no suitable estimated price.

The exploration time is about to end. If we don’t leave under the guidance of the military this time, we will have to wait for the next exploration if we want to leave again.

But how to get rid of the butterflies chasing behind is still a problem. After discussion, Michelle decided to take a risk and jump to the alien country inside the nebula.

The Deko civilization, the main civilization of the Deko people, has reached the top level five in terms of technology and is already breaking through to level six. It has nearly ten million psychic troops, hundreds of armed fleets, and as many as fifteen domesticated star creatures. The strongest of them seems to be a flying dragon star creature, and the longest one is over one kilometer in length.

The main reason why Michelle chose the other side as the breakthrough point was that he knew enough about it. The reconnaissance ship witnessed the entire process of a large human fleet fighting against the other side. Neither side gained an advantage, and both sides retreated with heavy casualties. However, the human fleet also completed their combat mission and captured many star creatures and alien psychics.

The combat effectiveness and troop deployment positions of the Deko civilization's army are currently within the detection range of the reconnaissance ship, and the other side is also the best target for intercepting the butterfly creatures.

The Star Fleet leaped all the way towards the target, waiting for a while each time until the butterfly creatures behind caught up, then leaving behind one or two synthetic element storage tanks and leaving before the other side launched an attack.

The fleet is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, guiding the butterfly creatures towards their goal.

In a star system, after the human fleet appeared, the Deko civilization deployed a large number of defense systems and combat forces here to guard the border security.

The Star Fleet suddenly jumped into the star system, causing space fluctuations that allowed the defense system to quickly lock on to them and attack them immediately after the jump. Fleets stationed on several planets immediately started to surround them, and millions of psychic troops driving various space creatures slowly fell behind the fleet.

Having had experience fighting against human fleets, they already had a relatively mature response plan. Although they didn't know why the Star Sea would jump directly into their base, it didn't stop them from taking out their anger on the Star Sea Fleet.

"Don't get entangled, move, prepare the space inhibitor, and be ready for forced jump at any time." Michelle ignored the Deko civilization troops that were surrounding them, turned the fleet around and moved, waiting for the arrival of the butterfly creatures.

A few minutes later, space fluctuations appeared in the void again. The Deco fleet that had originally surrounded them became more vigilant, and the defense system was fully opened. Various projectile weapons launched attacks towards the space fluctuation points, preparing to create a time difference.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Michelle immediately ordered the activation of the space inhibitor to forcibly break through the space and make a jump.

The Star Fleet successfully jumped away one second before the butterfly creatures arrived. The butterfly creatures that arrived later fell into the encirclement of the Deko civilization. As soon as they appeared, they were hit by the crazy output of the Deko civilization's defensive firepower. Various energy particles in the void collided to form a tidal surge, and the light emitted was brilliant and dangerous.

The butterfly creatures that had been following the Star Fleet and occasionally eating a few snacks were stunned by this sudden attack. After a series of attacks, the wings of many small butterfly creatures were damaged and their biological tissues floated in the void.

The completely enraged butterfly creature immediately flapped its wings, and the invisible spatial energy turned into visible spatial ripples, like stones thrown into a lake, rippling layers of ripples on the calm lake surface and quickly spreading to the surroundings. Any matter that blocked the ripples was ruthlessly crushed by the spatial energy.

"Retreat! All troops retreat..."

The commander of the Deko civilization's face became extremely ugly when he saw the butterfly appear, but it was too late to stop the attack at this time. He could only hurriedly order the front-line troops to retreat and let everyone in the base evacuate urgently.

Wherever the space ripples passed, nothing was left. No matter whether it was the void turrets or the warships, they all collapsed and dissipated under the wave after wave of space ripples. Only the psychic troops could still resist.

The psychics who controlled the star creatures gathered together to support the psychic barrier. They used the star creatures under them as the main force to release various spatial abilities to counterattack and weaken the ripples.

Millions of psychics continued to gather together, and the huge psychic flames were like a small star being ignited. The vast psychic energy gathered into a river to suppress the space and confront the butterfly monsters. They could not escape, and any jump behavior under the space shock wave was just seeking death. After losing the battleships to travel, the psychics also lost the ability to act remotely.

For this reason, after Commander Deco discovered that the warships had been withdrawn but the psychic troops could not withdraw, he calmly thought and judged, and ordered the psychic troops to counterattack.

Butterflies are creatures in the sky that hold grudges very much. We have hurt them this time. If they retreat this time, they will come over and flap their wings from time to time in the future. Who can tolerate such a thing!

The commander calmed down and asked for help from the headquarters while arranging the fleet to remotely assist the psychic troops in counterattacking. He also moved various high-powered weapons out of the warehouse. Many special weapons had not even been used in the previous battle with the human fleet.

The star fleet that escaped from the Deko civilization’s base didn’t even have time to watch the show, and rushed hurriedly towards a space coordinate location provided by Liu Wen.

"Boss, these coordinates are at the edge of the subspace. Are they really valuable?" Bai Haitang asked doubtfully.

"Hurry up and take a look for yourself, then you will know. Tell the mining team to catch up quickly so as not to delay the evacuation." Liu Wen didn't know what the reward given by the golden finger was. This time, he robbed hundreds of alien countries in a row, and only gave out the reward after he got rid of the butterfly and left the combat state.

"Boss, look at the image!" Shirley shouted, attracting all the busy people. She also enlarged the projection for everyone to watch.

In the Deko border star system, the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. In order to make the butterfly creatures afraid to attack, Commander Deko took out the most powerful weapon of civilization.

Antimatter weapons have become conventional consumables and are sent to the battlefield in batches.

What really made Shirley exclaim was the special weapon deployed by the Deko civilization, a kind of yellow-green beam that involved regular energy beams. It was shot out from the planetary base and had a diameter of less than ten meters, but wherever it passed, the space was swallowed up and absorbed. All matter was erased bit by bit in a burst of green light, just like a painting on paper being wiped cleanly by an eraser. Even the energy tides formed by the battle were swallowed up without producing any ripples.

Several butterfly creatures were unable to dodge and were swept by the yellow-green light, leaving several huge wounds on their bodies. Light red blood gushed out and in a moment filled the void into a blood mist that was steaming with blood-red flames.

The invisible roar of the mind resounded through the void. A dozen of the largest butterfly creatures protected the injured ones inside and flapped their wings vigorously at the planet that emitted the light beam. The void storm became more and more violent, and the space broke into pieces. The space storm originating from the space mezzanine swept in all directions, and at the same time, the raging space storm also obscured their figures.

"What kind of weapon is this? It can actually have the effect of erasing." Tian Jian's face was full of horror. Fortunately, they ran fast. If the Deko civilization had done this to them, the Star Fleet would have at least paid the price of most of its warships to escape.

"This kind of weapon already involves the rules. The Deko civilization has not yet reached the sixth level of technology, so it cannot be a simple technological weapon. It is very likely related to star creatures, perhaps the power of some special star creatures." Michelle said incisively.

Liu Wen also nodded in agreement. The level five technology in his hands was already very comprehensive, and was not weaker than that of ordinary level six civilizations. However, there was no weapon technology with such great power, so the probability of it coming from special star creatures was very high.

"It's a pity that we can't get it. Once we have this weapon ourselves, we will have the means to turn defeat into victory even if facing most of the level six civilization fleets. At least we can retreat safely." Luo Shaohua looked regretful. The butterfly creatures could only fight to a draw with the opponent and could not completely defeat them. They didn't even have the chance to take advantage of the situation.

Liu Wen thought of the reward given by the golden finger, a hundred times reward worth more than 100 billion contribution points. It couldn't be just a pile of psychic materials, right? There were also a lot of scientific and technological information and special materials among them.

"Don't look at it yet. Send the images to the 5th research ship and let the researchers analyze them. Michelle, hurry to the coordinate point. Maybe the biggest gain of this exploration is there."

Hearing the boss's urging, Michelle nodded and turned to arrange the work. They had already gone millions of light years deep into the nebula. It was not easy to reach the coordinate location in a short time. Even if they wanted to jump 300 light years at a time, they would have to do it more than 30 times. The jump engine also needed rest and maintenance and could not be used all the time.
