Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 222 Xuanming Squad, Nine Hua Star Region

Nine days later, in the departure hall.

The spaceships were lined up in order.

This enormous hall, with a diameter exceeding 30,000 kilometers, is large enough to accommodate billions of space warriors and thousands of spaceships.

Some of these spaceships are over a thousand meters in diameter, while others are less than a hundred meters in diameter.

The number of space warriors that each spaceship can accommodate naturally varies.

Some spaceships can accommodate a million space warriors, while others can only accommodate a few powerful individuals.

Ice Crystal Chuhe quickly took out the E9-class spaceship, turned around and looked behind him. Eight World Lord War Generals were looking at the scene in amazement.

"Everyone, stop standing there like idiots, get on the spaceship!" Bingjing Chuhe shouted in a low voice.

The Xuanming Squad was successfully formed on the very day Chu He went to the Realm Lord's camp.

An immortal deity personally came to the realm lord's camp to extend an invitation, and moreover, he was a high-ranking immortal military lord, so he naturally quickly recruited a small team.

Of the eight realm lord generals, apart from one new recruit from the Yanboluo tribe, the rest were all veterans who had fought in several, or even dozens, of tribal wars with the legion.

"Yes!"

"coming!"

The first two to regain consciousness were named White Wolf Connor and Horned Kane.

As the most senior Realm Lord warriors in this newly formed [Xuanming Squad], both of them have already experienced hundreds of large-scale expeditions.

Although I am still amazed every time I see it, I am somewhat calmer than others.

With the two responding first, the others also became more focused.

Seeing that even the last Yanboluo clan realm lord general recruit had calmed down, Chu He wasted no more time and immediately boarded the spaceship through the hatch. His eight realm lord generals followed suit and boarded the ship one by one.

Whoosh! The hatch closed!

Inside the departure hall, countless spaceships slowly flew forward and entered the passage one by one.

……

Inside the spaceship.

"Let's go to the lounge." Bingjing Chuhe led the group towards the lounge.

"Huh? Aren't we going to the control room?" the new recruit from the Yanpo tribe asked in confusion.

"Hahaha, you don't understand!" Horned Kane, with a pair of black horns and a burly body, laughed loudly. "In the lounge, you can still command the ship's onboard AI to control the spaceship."

"And we can relax a bit more."

Niujiao Kane put his arm around the new recruit of the Yanbo tribe and laughed heartily.

The Yanboluo race, one of the pinnacle human races in the universe, are over six meters tall. Their bodies resemble crimson rock, with two curved, sharp horns growing from their foreheads and a rhombus-shaped red crystal between their brows. They are an absolute warrior race.

Especially the two curved horns on his forehead, and his stone-like red muscles, were exactly what Horned Kane wanted.

"Hey! Redstone, let's practice properly in a bit, loosen up our muscles, and you won't be so nervous!"

The new recruit from the Yanpo tribe, Redstone, nodded blankly: "Okay, okay, Brother Kane."

A moment later, the group of nine arrived at the lounge.

The lounge is about 20 meters long and wide, and about 10 meters high. With a space of 400 square meters, it is quite spacious for nine people to sit here.

"Huh? It's actually an F9 grade metallic silicon flame stone mother?" White Wolf Connor, who had sat down on the sofa, looked at the wall and exclaimed in surprise.

That fiery red metal wall with its shimmering, mysterious patterns is none other than F9 grade metal, the Mother of Silicon Flame Stone!
Bingjing Chuhe glanced back at the white wolf Connor and nodded with a smile.

Surprisingly, there are actually people who know what they're talking about!

“That’s right!” Chu He replied with a smile. “It’s not worth it to use F9-grade metal for the entire spaceship, since it would basically be destroyed in a fight anyway.”

"Instead, it would be better to build a sturdier place to rest, so that it can withstand the first wave of attack and give us time to react."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Connor, the white wolf, shook the white fur on his head, revealing his pair of pointed wolf ears, and couldn't help but grin. "Captain's got deep pockets! Now I can really feel much more at ease!"

Upon hearing this, the other veterans quickly found seats and began to drink comfortably.

"Hahaha, let those guys who didn't agree regret it!"

The ape-man, whose face was covered in golden fur, grinned broadly and laughed, "That's right! The captain is a high-level immortal military commander, after all. Even if he's a newcomer, he's not just a few world lord generals..."

"Ahem, Golden Fur, you Golden Wind Ape-man are being a bit too talkative! What's wrong? Are you having too much fun here?"

The golden ape was interrupted halfway through his sentence by the white wolf, Connor. Connor's sinister green eyes glared at him fiercely.

Chu He didn't seem to feel anything, but instead looked at the Golden Wind Clan ape-man with great interest.

Standing about three meters tall, with a face full of golden fur, it somewhat resembled the Kahuns, the ape-man race to which the True King belonged.

If we were to carefully categorize them, the ape-men race could be divided into tens of thousands of races, making up a large proportion of the human race in the universe, and they can be seen everywhere.

The Golden Wind Clan before us, the Kahuns Clan to which True King Yan resides, and Pushkin, the peerless genius cultivated by the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom during the preliminary rounds of the Genius Battle, are all members of the Ape-Man Clan.

“I didn’t say anything wrong!” the golden-haired ape muttered under his breath, which earned him another angry glare from the white wolf, Connor.

Not only Connor the White Wolf, but even the forthright Horned Kane glared at them.

Having survived for so long on this battlefield outside the region, the two of them knew very well how rare it was for a captain to be able to spend his own money to provide his team members with a rest room where they could rest in peace!

A safe haven made entirely of F9 grade metal is enough to allow them to relax and be in good condition for battle without having to be constantly on edge.

"No need for that, White Wolf, Horned Bull, stop for a moment." Chu He interrupted the two with a light laugh.

"Now that we've officially set off, we can call each other by our nicknames. That'll make things easier when we fight, okay?"

"can!"

"no problem!"

"Listen to the captain!"

……

All eight people expressed their opinions.

"Okay." Chu He nodded. "Then let's each give ourselves a nickname."

"Just call me White Wolf." White Wolf Connor's pointed ears twitched slightly.

"I am Horned!" Horned Kane patted his chest with his muscular arm.

"Golden Retriever."

"Redstone".

A short, about 1.5-meter-tall world lord general put down his wine cup, took out a pair of green short swords, waved them in front of everyone, and said, "Just call me Green Swords."

Chu He nodded slightly.

In the previous nine days, they only knew each other's names and professions. For example, Chu He only knew that "Green Blade" was an assassin, but he hadn't had time to get to know him better.

"Hmm, just call me Snow Fairy." A seductive female voice, accompanied by a chilling aura, entered everyone's ears.

Chu He looked over and immediately associated the name "Snow Demon" with the alluring woman in front of him, dressed in pure white and holding a white fox.

He remembered that the woman had said she was a spiritualist.

"I am Windblade." A man with black hair and a build and appearance that closely resembled an Earthling, except for a scale behind each of his ears, opened his eyes and said coldly.

"Light Wings!"

As the final world lord spoke, a pair of pure white wings suddenly unfurled behind him, releasing a dense aura of light and law power.

The five-meter-long light wings unfold and retract instantly.

Everyone immediately understood the meaning of the other person's nickname.

“White Wolf, Bull Horn, Golden Hair, and Red Stone, four warriors. Assassin Green Blade, and Snow Demon, Wind Blade, and Light Wing, three mentalists.” Chu He nodded.

For the nine days after the team was formed, Chu He spent his time in the virtual universe researching the details of fighting, killing, and surviving on the extraterrestrial battlefield, without conducting any actual combat drills with the rest of the team.

Therefore, their first destination on this trip is one of the billions of low-risk areas on the star map, to understand their respective combat characteristics. This also allows Chu He to familiarize himself with the style of this fifth battlefield.

On the battlefield beyond the realm, there are countless powerful alien races, and their methods of killing are equally bizarre and unpredictable.

Even though Chu He has memories of two lifetimes, is quite knowledgeable about the battlefield outside the realm, and is also strong and has a strong ability to protect himself, he still dares not underestimate him in the slightest.

This kind of place is so dangerous that even an immortal king could perish if he's not careful. He's just a realm lord with some understanding of the laws of immortal kings, so how could he be so arrogant and careless?

……

As time went by, spaceships rapidly flew into the passageway.

The E9-class spaceship that Chu He and his companions were on had traveled approximately hundreds of thousands of kilometers along the passageway...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At the very beginning of the passage, a series of gates fell and closed tightly.

At the same time, on the outermost side of the passage, the side of the entire massive military base that comes into contact with the void of space, hundreds of passage gates opened one after another.

"Activate energy defense."

"Start the exterior scene simulation."

"Set off."

In the lounge, Chuhe issued a series of orders.

Under the control of the ship's onboard AI, the spaceship instantly flew out from a passageway.

Inside the lounge.

The sofa, coffee table, and walls slowly became transparent, and all nine members of the team, including Chu He, turned to look at the huge military base behind them.

Whether it was Chu He, who had a very high level of vision, or the veterans who had been out fighting many times, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Because... it's just too spectacular!

"This...this is the military base?" The new recruit, Hongshi, was so shocked that he stammered.

Through the virtual exterior view, everyone could clearly see the enormous military base, millions of kilometers in diameter, suspended against the dark backdrop of the universe.

Moreover, this massive war base is also covered by a layer of colorful energy shield.

There wasn't a single gap; it completely enveloped the entire barracks base!
[Colorful energy shield], [Numerously densely packed passageways], [Mysterious and powerful solidification law runes], [Countless energy nodes]...

It is a perfect war machine that elevates violence to the level of art!

“What a spectacle!”

Even Chu He, who was always well-traveled and had seen places like the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company on the mainland, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This is the AAA God Base!" Bull Horn's eyes burned with fervor as he panted heavily.

Chu He looked at Hong Shi, who was already speechless with shock, and softly read aloud the information he had collected.

"The battlefield outside the territory is a war between ethnic groups. The entire Fifth Battlefield has a total of 108 military bases, and the one in front of us is numbered 065."

"As humanity's main base on the extraterritorial battlefield, it must be built to the highest standards. A AAA-level divine base, even a being like a cosmic ruler cannot destroy it."

In the vast emptiness of space, outside this war base, countless pieces of war debris float.

Shattered Zerg corpses, broken spaceship wreckage, human remains, and even pieces of land debris...

They were all scattered in the void, floating quietly.

boom!
The spaceships all activated their energy shields, rampaging through the wreckage.

Large pieces of debris shattered into smaller pieces, and the smaller pieces of debris vanished into nothingness, merely creating ripples on the energy shield.

"Alright!" Chu He lay back on the sofa, swirling his wine glass. "Hong Shi, don't just stand there like an idiot. Find a place to rest for a while. We're safe for now."

"The barracks base is a haven for space warriors. You don't need to have any fears near the barracks base."

"Hehe! Captain is right!" White Wolf also turned his gaze away from the barracks base, his green eyes turning to Red Stone. "However, once we're far from the barracks base, it'll be fraught with danger!"

Snow Fairy gently rubbed the white fox lying in her arms, unable to resist teasing it with a coquettish laugh: "Hehe, little Redstone brother, you'd better watch out!"

"After all, this is a cosmic secret realm with a diameter of millions of light-years..."

As she spoke, the snow demon opened her arms and drew a large circle.

His trembling chest suddenly appeared incredibly broad.

"This entire vast star field is a battlefield!"

Redstone swallowed hard as he listened to the Snow Fairy's description.

Despite the allure of the Snow Fairy's enchanting voice and alluring movements, he harbored no desire for anything more.

I felt that the endless darkness before me was full of danger!

A chill came over me.

"Hehe!" Green Knife's laughter was also full of sinister meaning. "Don't think that we veterans have it easy. Look over there."

Green Blade turned his hand and pointed at Wind Blade, who had his eyes closed, with the hilt of his blade.

"Look, everyone is ready for battle right away!"

"Hahahaha!" Seeing that Red Stone's gaze was starting to wander, Bull Horn burst into hearty laughter, "You guys! Alright, alright!"

"Stop scaring the new recruits!"

Chu He clapped his hands with a smile, drawing everyone's attention.

"Alright, alright, everyone, listen to me."

"Our destination this time is the Jiuhua Star Region, which is about 8 light-years away from the military base."

As he spoke, Chu He opened his arm guard, and a beam of light shot into the air as he pointed to a spot.

"This area is mostly frequented by Realm Lords and Domain Lords. With the overall strength of our team, we shouldn't encounter any danger."

"Well, we've only just formed a team. Let's go to this place first to get used to it and hone our teamwork before we go earn military merits. Is that alright?"

"no problem!"

"Reasonable!"

"Listen to the captain!"

……

The group of realm lords and generals nodded in agreement upon hearing this reasonable plan.

Following the immortal gods, you won't be afraid of not getting military merits; the only thing to fear is that the immortals are impatient and deliberately challenge dangerous situations.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, no one can guarantee what the outcome will be.

"Okay." Chu He nodded and continued, "Alright, everyone, let's rest."

"In a moment, we will arrive at a planned area. There is no debris or trash there, which will allow us to accelerate our space travel."

The secret realm of the universe is different from the normal cosmic sky; it is filled with all kinds of dust and debris.

Therefore, a large area must be deliberately cleared to accelerate the process of space travel.

Back when they were in the original secret realm, the Virtual Universe Company would specifically clear out cosmic shuttle points.

In the fifth battlefield, according to information on the star map, there are many such cosmic shuttle points, the closest of which is only one hundred light-years away from them.

A moment later, the spaceship arrived at the shuttle point, and Chuhe turned off the outdoor simulation.

“10、9、8……3、2、1，穿梭！”

The spaceship trembled slightly for ten seconds.

"Alright, the spaceship has entered the dark universe. Everyone can relax a bit. We will arrive at our destination in three days."
