The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi nodded, his expression remaining perfectly calm.

This surprised everyone.

After all, very few high-level immortal military lords dare to enter battlefields like the Ice Flame Giant, let alone act as bait for a team and travel alone in the starry sky.

Here, in every immortal team, the weakest member is basically a peak immortal general.

Once targeted by those immortal alien forces, they could suffer a devastating blow immediately.

Back then, the vice-captain "Scorpion" kept saying that the whole team would protect Ba Qi, but that was just a consolation.

Otherwise, the previous team member who acted as bait wouldn't have perished.

This is an extremely dangerous mission. Even the top immortal military leaders in the team are unwilling to do it. Now that Ba Qi is so calm, in their eyes, he is either ignorant and fearless, blinded by the benefits of military merit, or he really has confidence in his heart.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Captain Yuri looked at Baqi in surprise.

The last fallen high-level immortal military lord made many demands before agreeing to be used as bait.

"Since you've assigned me such a dangerous job, I suppose you won't treat me unfairly." Ba Qi smiled slightly, looking at Captain Yuri.

Upon hearing this, Captain Yuri was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Of course, you reap what you sow." Yuri nodded and said to Baqi, "Before the battle, we will activate the army system. You will be automatically identified by the system as bait. When you kill the alien race, you will get more military merit points."

"Furthermore, after killing the alien immortal, you'll get 2% of all the extra rewards!"

Upon hearing this, Ba Qi nodded. "Okay."

That's fair enough.

After all, there are ten people in the team. Captain Yuli is a peak-level Marquis Immortal, and Vice Captain "Scorpion" is a beginner-level Marquis Immortal. Their share will definitely be more than the others. Ba Qi can get 20% by himself, which is indeed a lot, higher than any peak-level Immortal Army Master member.

. . . . . . . . .

Soon after, the spaceship arrived at a star system about ten light-years away from the ice-fire giant.

"Heavenly Emperor, you will operate within this starry sky. Remember, do not stray more than 1 million kilometers from us, otherwise my probes will be unable to detect information about the alien race."

In a meteorite belt, Captain Yuri looked at Baqi, with Scorpion and the others standing behind him.

"Don't worry." Ba Qi nodded.

"Alright," Yuri said, then glanced at everyone. "The rest of you, find your positions as planned and lie in wait for my orders!"

"clear!"

"Don't worry, Captain!"

The next moment, the figures of "Scorpion" and the other eight people immediately transformed into streaks of light and hid in their respective chosen locations.

"It's up to you now." Captain Yuri glanced at Baqi, then flew away as well.

Ba Qi glanced around and then chose a direction to fly out.

. . . . . . . . . .

In the starry sky, a black triangular E-class spaceship is slowly flying.

Inside the spaceship, Ba Qi stood quietly in the command cabin, his consciousness immersed in the virtual universe, browsing the information on supplies in the military merit exchange warehouse.

"The benefits of fighting in foreign battlefields are indeed quite good."

"If this military merit were converted into a mixed-level unit, it would actually be a loss."

Within the military system, many items that can be exchanged for military merits are extremely valuable outside of the battlefield, and some are even unavailable for purchase.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ba Qi's expression changed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Source Energy Star Core!"

There's actually something like this in the military merit system!

"120 units in stock, each worth 10 trillion military merits!"

"In other words, killing a low-level King-level Immortal can earn you a Source Energy Star Core!"

A source energy core is a highly concentrated energy source that is often used as the energy core of ultra-large machinery.

As Ba Qi knew, the military bases in the extraterrestrial battlefields were said to have part of their energy source from this source energy star core.

"It is extremely difficult for immortal gods to convert the energy in this source energy star core into immortal divine power, and the conversion rate is extremely low. Therefore, although this thing has extremely high energy density, its price is not high."

In the primordial universe, the most valuable energy sources were those that could be easily transformed into immortal divine power.

As for things like source energy star cores, they can only be used to power large mechanical devices and cannot be carried by ordinary spaceships, so their price is not that high.

However, although the price is not high, this thing is not common. After all, large machines that can use this kind of energy are rare even among human populations.

Even if they did exist, they would be assets of the clan; after all, an individual could not possibly possess something like a divine base.

"120 source energy star cores can probably fill nearly half of the energy gap of my Beast God Egg!" Ba Qi thought to himself with joy.

In other words, it is equivalent to needing only 1200 trillion military merits to be worth nearly 7 to 8 treasure points!

1200 trillion military merits, when converted into Hunyuan units, is only 120 billion, which is just the value of an ordinary King Immortal. However, a single Treasure Point is worth 10 trillion Hunyuan!

This is outrageous profit!

Of course, this so-called exorbitant profit only applies to the powerful relatives.

For other powerful individuals, exchanging 10 trillion military merits for a source energy star core that is useless to them would be a complete waste.

"Haha, what a pleasant surprise!"

"Even the immortals of the mechanical race would hardly need this source energy star core, but I've managed to snag a bargain!" Ba Qi was overjoyed.

His Beast God Egg absorbs all energy, regardless of whether it can be easily converted into immortal divine power; it accepts all comers.

"Hmm, let's see if there are any other good treasures."

Just as Ba Qi was about to continue browsing the military merit system's exchange database, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master, an alien force has appeared!"

Dika's voice echoed inside the spaceship.

"The distance is approximately 9.8 million kilometers. A total of eight divine power auras were detected, the strongest being a high-level Marquis and the weakest being a peak Immortal Army Lord!" Dika's voice continued.

"Understood." Ba Qi maintained his speed, but suddenly changed direction and headed towards the alien group.

"My detector is a high-standard model that I purchased, with a detection range of one billion kilometers, which is even more advanced than Yuri's detector."

"The strongest member of this alien team is only a high-ranking Marquis. I estimate their detectors are even weaker than Yuri's. I need to get close to them, otherwise they won't be able to detect me at all."

Soon after, the distance between Ba Qi and the alien army was reduced to within 5000 million kilometers.

"We have obtained accurate information about the alien race!" Dika's voice rang out again.

The next moment, a virtual image appeared in front of Ba Qi.

"The Demon Clan's vassal tribe, the Thorn Rock Clan!" Ba Qi looked at the image on the virtual screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
