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

Chapter 69: Psychic Battleship vs. Insect Nest
Shangguan Xi fiercely killed four level seven hunting mantises. Although he was also injured, he was recovering quickly under the cover of the psychic light.

The fleet benefited from her rule ability, and the sudden increase of 30% damage blocked the bugs at the entrance of the space channel, making it impossible for the bugs to break through the fire blockade even if a large number of level six bugs appeared. They could only turn into ashes and float in the void with the roar of death.

"The fleet retreats to the point with maximum firepower range." Shangguan Xi stepped into the void, holding two psychic swords and shuttling through the energy columns of the ship's guns, slowly approaching the space channel.

"Retreat three points in distance, and each fleet maintains firepower output!" Michelle and Bai Haitang gave the order together, and the fleet started the auxiliary propulsion engine, maintaining firepower output while slowly accelerating the retreat.

The retreat of the fleet has somewhat affected the firepower output, but fortunately, with the support of Shangguan Xi's rule ability, the blockade can still be maintained.

Shangguan Xi stopped three light seconds away from the space channel and looked at it with cold eyes, as if he saw the high-level Zerg in the subspace through the channel.

Just when Liu Wen and others thought they could hold out for the remaining half an hour and wait for the Human Alliance support fleet to arrive, the Zerg pouring out of the space channel suddenly stopped and the fleet had to stop the attack.

"What's going on? Why are there no bugs left? Are we not going to fight anymore?" Wu Shuhe looked at the space channel in confusion.

"I'm afraid he's planning some big move. Luo Shaohua, prepare gravitational weapons immediately and be ready for high-dimensional energy strikes at any time." Liu Wen saw that Shangguan Xi's psychic flame had increased by three points out of thin air, and he immediately realized that it was not that the bugs didn't want to fight, but that a big guy was passing through the space channel, so those bugs couldn't get through.

On the eight mobile fortresses, the outer armor was opened, and a device that looked like an old-fashioned antenna rose up. As energy was pumped into it, streaks of energy formed lightning that flashed and jumped continuously between the antennas, and the energy level continued to rise.

Shangguan Xi, who was blocking the space channel, felt the high-energy reaction coming from behind her, and turned her head to look at the fleet in surprise. After feeling the form of energy, she immediately knew what weapons the Star Sea Fleet had prepared. She didn't ask about it, but continued to stare at the space channel intently, the spiritual energy in her body surging more and more violently.

The space channel continuously gushed out space energy, and the mutual annihilation radiation formed energy tides. A large insect nest with a diameter of seventy or eighty kilometers rushed out from it. The surging spiritual energy formed a hurricane that revolved around the insect nest, driving the dark energy in the void to converge towards the insect nest.

Shangguan Xi is less than two meters tall. Standing in front of this insect nest with a diameter of seventy to eighty kilometers, he is like an ant looking up at a planet.

"The energy level of the insect nest has exceeded 200,000, and is still rising rapidly!" Shirley looked at the test report and sweat dropped. "High-level mental fluctuations have been detected. They have reached level 7 and are approaching level 8."

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Michelle didn't care about the rules of the Human Union. The level six fleet without perfect rule-based defense capabilities faced this insect nest where both psychic energy and mental power broke through level seven. They could only be beaten or be beaten in an orderly manner. Moreover, once they were hit head-on by the mental power, it was unknown how many of the hundreds of thousands of people in the fleet would be affected.

"Space fluctuations are appearing behind the fleet, the target is approaching!"

"It's a psychic battleship!" Shirley shouted in surprise and joy.

A five-kilometer-long psychic battleship lightly passed through the void. Its psychic reaction increased rapidly, and a ball of golden light enveloped the psychic battleship, as bright as a star.

Shangguan Xi was confronting the Zerg Hive. When the psychic battleship flew over her, the seemingly surging psychic flames suddenly retracted into her body. She jumped back to the Star Fleet in a flash, stood on the mobile fortress, and after finding the positions of Liu Wen and others, she jumped into the command room.

"You did a great job. Now retreat to a light hour away and wait." He sat down on a chair and said, "Give me some psychic food to replenish my energy consumption."

"Okay, please wait." At Liu Wen's signal, Shirley hurried forward to prepare psychic food.

Everyone could tell from Shangguan Xi's reaction that her spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and it was probably difficult for her to even survive in a vacuum. That was why she entered the battleship to eat spiritual food to speed up her recovery, instead of staying outside to guard against insects.

The psychic battleship and the insect nest confronted each other at a distance of three light seconds. The energy reaction of both sides had been raised to level eight. The surrounding void continued to ripple like the surface of water under the psychic fluctuations of both sides, and the insect remains left over from the battle were gradually destroyed by the psychic fluctuations of both sides.

There was no movement from either side for a long time, but the space channel behind the hive began to fluctuate again. Under the sweeping energy tide, huge level seven tortoise beetles passed through the channel and appeared in the void. Behind the tortoise beetles appeared various Zerg soldiers such as level seven hunting mantises, light bugs, energy jet bugs, etc. for melee and long-range attacks.

More and more Zergs gathered here, gradually gathering into nearly a hundred level seven Zergs, followed by tens of thousands of level five and six Zerg soldiers swarming out, occupying a large area of ​​the void in a short while.

As the psychic warship did not respond, Liu Wen and his companions asked Shangguan Xi in confusion: "Major Shangguan, there are more and more bugs. Do we need to use the ship's guns to clean up the low-level bugs?"

Shangguan Xi had a large plate of psychic food in front of her. She was eating with her cheeks puffed up when she heard Liu Wen's question. She glanced at the projection and shook her head: "Don't worry about them. Just watch the show. With Colonel Li here, they can't make any waves."

"Colonel Li? The owner of the psychic battleship?" Wu Shuhe whispered.

"Yes." Shangguan Xi replied while eating voraciously: "Colonel Li Kui is a level 8 psychic master. With him here, it will be difficult for the queen worm on the other side, which was only forcibly upgraded to level 8, to escape alive. The merits your fleet has gained this time are not low. You have discovered a subspace with such abundant psychic energy. According to the regulations of the Human Union, you will have the priority right to develop it."

"However, considering the strength of your fleet, I personally suggest that you sell the priority development rights. According to the strength of the bugs that have appeared now, there are many bugs with a combat power of level seven. You are just delivering nutrition to them when you go in."

Liu Wen asked thoughtfully, "Is Colonel Shangguan interested in the priority development rights? What price can he offer?"

Shangguan Xi glanced at Liu Wen with admiration: "This subspace is about 300,000 light years long, and it can give birth to so many level 7 bugs. The concentration of spiritual energy inside is at least level 3. The priority development rights of the Human Alliance have the right to enter the discovery site for three months of development. If the strength is sufficient, the harvest can reach hundreds of billions of contribution points."

"I can only give you 10 billion contribution points and a high-level membership card of the Duanmu Chamber of Commerce. You can enjoy a 30% discount on transactions in the Duanmu Chamber of Commerce, including warship armaments and various psychic weapons."

Liu Wen thought for a moment and replied, "Okay." Shangguan Xi said it very clearly. Only if you have the strength can you go in and develop and gain benefits. If you don't have the strength, you can only sell the rights. The price naturally cannot be too high. Ten billion is already a good price. After all, it is free income. Continuing to bargain may earn more income, but there is no need for that.

Upon hearing that Liu Wen agreed to the deal, Shangguan Xi took out a transfer contract. After both parties signed, 10 billion in cash was deposited into his account.

"This is a high-level membership card of the Duanmu Chamber of Commerce. The average pioneer lord can only get an ordinary membership card, which is at most 10% off. In the long-term transaction, your 30% discount will save you far more profit than the income from the development of Ya space."

Shangguan Xi handed Liu Wen a physical card and explained to him the business scope of the Duanmu Chamber of Commerce. Arms trading and material recycling are all regular transactions. The most important thing is that the Duanmu Chamber of Commerce can enter the pioneering star field to recycle various resources. For many pioneering lords, this is very good and can save them a lot of time and energy.

Just as several people were chatting happily, the Zerg in the space channel could no longer wait. After a roar, billions of Zerg launched a charge towards the psychic battleship.

Hundreds of level seven long-range attack insects led millions of level five and six long-range attack insects to attack the psychic battleship. All kinds of light beams, ion beams, acid, etc. fell on the psychic battleship.

When Li Kui, who was in the cockpit of the psychic battleship, saw this scene, he just showed a scornful smile on his face.

The light of the psychic battleship suddenly bloomed, and disappeared before the insects' attack arrived. When it reappeared, it was already above the insect swarm. The psychic light was still dazzling, and under this dazzling light, billions of insects let out roars of pain.

The light was like a real star. The insects that were illuminated by it were burned into ashes by the high temperature. The insects below level seven within a dozen light seconds were simply turned to ashes under the light. The remaining level seven insects also felt great pain under the light and made bursts of screams.

This scene made Liu Wen and the others dumbfounded. What kind of ability is this? With one move, he could destroy billions of insect swarms in the blink of an eye. With such strength, why would they need ordinary fleets? Facing such an enemy, they were not even worthy of the word cannon fodder. At most, they could consume a little bit of the opponent's energy. According to their recovery ability, they would probably recover in a breath.

The queen insect in the hive was furious. Waves of mental fluctuations swept through the void, launching mental shocks at the psychic battleship. Various psychic attacks followed one after another. Hundreds of level seven insects also cooperated with the hive to launch attacks despite severe pain.

The two sides immediately fought together, and all kinds of damaging blows created ripples in space. From time to time, one or two blows could directly break the void, causing space energy to form a storm. Endless energy formed a tsunami that rolled and impacted the surroundings. The Star Fleet, which was far away one light hour away, had to retreat several light hours under the battle between the two sides.

Both sides of the battle were completely submerged in various energy storms, and the people in the fleet could only observe various energy reactions in the void through energy detectors.

"What a powerful energy reaction!" The blue fat man looked at the projection with sympathy. The space in the center of the battlefield had been completely broken. The leaked space energy continued to undergo annihilation reactions under the impact of both sides. The energy storm formed became more and more violent. An ordinary level 6 battleship would be destroyed on the spot if it fell into it.

"Look, something fell out!" Wu Shuhe saw with his sharp eyes that the energy storm was carrying some broken limbs and arms. The dark green blood was gradually decomposed and annihilated in the void, and all kinds of rays filled the void.

The space channel continued to tremble and collapse during the battle between the two sides, and the entrance of the channel was gradually shrinking. They suspected that the space channel might be completely collapsed before the two sides could decide the outcome.

A piece of insect nest fragment hundreds of meters in size and full of holes suddenly fell into the void with an energy impact. In the dazzling light, a large number of broken limbs and arms and pieces of insect nest fragments were scattered. Bright energy beams broke through the energy storm and shot into the void. The void shook endlessly wherever it passed, and space ripples were layered.

Suddenly, a beam of light hit the fleet directly. Shangguan Xi didn't have time to react before two battleships were pierced by the light beam. They exploded immediately, and safety cabins were ejected one after another. Many crew members who did not have time to escape were swallowed up by the energy.

"Damn it! Retreat, retreat another ten light hours!" Liu Wen's mouth twitched. Watching the show was so risky. Two battleships exploded in an instant, and two hundred million contribution points were gone just like that!

The fleet retreated immediately, but it was not known whether it was intentional or not, nor was it clear which side shot the beam of light. More and more beams of light fell in the direction of the fleet. Fortunately, the distance was several light hours and the fleet was still moving, so not many warships were affected.

Shangguan Xi also reacted at this time. After eating hundreds of kilograms of spiritual food from Liu Wen, her spiritual energy had recovered a lot. Although it was not enough to support her in high-intensity combat, it was no problem for her to assist the fleet in retreating.

With a wave of the long sword in her hand, she deflected the beam of light that was directed at the mobile fortress. With sweat on her forehead, Shangguan Xi frowned and looked at the battlefield. She didn't understand why Colonel Li Kui hadn't solved the insect nest yet.

As the fleet retreated farther and farther, the energy reaction on the battlefield began to gradually decrease, and the energy storm covering the battlefield began to gradually subside after losing its sustained push.

As the situation on the battlefield improved, everyone saw the two sides of the battle through the detector.

The insect nest with a diameter of seventy to eighty kilometers is now missing a large piece, and unknown liquid is still dripping from the irregular gaps. There is no sign of freezing in the void.

The psychic battleship was still shining brightly, but it was no longer too bright to look at. It was obvious that this battle had taken a heavy toll on him.

The hundreds of level seven insects on the battlefield have disappeared, leaving only a few broken limbs that are being swallowed by the gradually healing void. A small amount of insect remains are floating in the void and rushing towards the distance with the energy storm.

The space channel did not collapse completely after all, and a channel with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers was still shaking in place.

A violent space fluctuation occurred, and two planetary fortresses with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared along with energy tides. Planetary fortress cannons visible to the naked eye rushed straight into the sky.

Following closely behind was a human coalition army. They flew to the entrance of the passage and immediately dispatched hundreds of engineering ships and auxiliary ships to set up a defense system. Huge equipment was installed on the edge of the passage, gradually forming a star gate standing in the starry sky.

After revoking his temporary authority, Shangguan Xi returned the Star Sea Fleet to Liu Wen and then flew into the planetary fortress.
