The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

In the starry sky, Ba Qi sat alone on a meteorite, still playing the role of bait.

"Now Yuri and the others know that I will leave the team once I gain another 20 billion military merits. If they really covet the armor, they'll have to hurry up and find an opportunity to attack me!"

Ba Qi's eyes flashed.

He had previously said that he would soon accumulate enough military merits to leave the army, which was obviously intentional.

This is what it means to exert pressure.

If Yuri and the others really have any wicked intentions, then we must act quickly.

"In the battlefield outside the territory, there are roughly three reliable ways to evade punishment from the military system and turn against your own allies."

The first method is to feign an accident, like Luo Feng used the aftermath of his battle with the enemy to kill Nuolanshan.

The second method is to use a borrowed knife to kill someone, using a different race to carry out the attack.

The third method is to use the many deadly pits in the extraterritorial battlefield to carry out massacres.

If handled properly, even a virtual universe army system cannot fully ascertain the truth of these three methods, and in the end, the matter will simply be left unresolved.

"Knowing I'm wearing armor, they definitely know that the first method is unlikely to succeed."

"Then the only two methods we can use are the latter two!" Ba Qi's gaze was profound.

Either use someone else to do your dirty work!

Either find an opportunity to trap him in a deadly situation!

Only in this way can we possibly conceal our actions from the virtual universe army system and avoid being identified as harming our own allies.

"It all depends on your choices," Ba Qi muttered to himself. "Heaven and hell are just a thought away."

If Yuri and the others ultimately don't succumb to greed and choose to attack him, then considering it's fate, Ba Qi wouldn't mind showing his true fighting power and leading his team to hunt down some powerful alien races.

Killing just one or two alien races to become kings and immortals would be enough for the team to reap the rewards of many eras of fighting.

However, if they were truly depraved and brazenly attacked him, their fellow allies, then Ba Qi would also exploit the loopholes in the rules to punish them severely in return.

. . . . . . . . . .

At this moment, tens of millions of kilometers away from Ba Qi, in the starry sky, Yuri, "Scorpion," and others were scattered in different locations, continuing to lie in ambush, waiting for new prey to take the bait.

Within a meteorite belt.

"How do we get that guy's armor over here?" Captain Yuri stood in the void, his eyes deep as he pondered.

There was no way around it; the allure of Ba Qi's armor was simply too great for him.

"Should we ask him to buy it?"

"No, the Heavenly Emperor isn't stupid. Even if I offered all my possessions, he definitely wouldn't sell such a powerful suit of armor!" Yuri's eyes darkened.

"Then we'll have to think of other ways..."

In an instant, a series of plans began to surface in his mind.

"team leader!"

Just then, a divine voice rang out, causing Yuri's expression to change instantly.

When he saw that the person who came was the vice-captain "Scorpion," his expression immediately darkened, and he transmitted his voice using divine power, "What are you doing? Why aren't you in your place? What are you doing here?"

"Captain, I've come to see you because I have important business to discuss," 'Scorpion' said with a smile via telepathy.

"What urgent matter?" Captain Yuri's face was stern. "If you don't keep a close watch, what if some alien race appears at this moment? Wouldn't we miss our opportunity?"

"Haha, Captain, I bet you're just hoping the alien races won't show up right now, aren't you?" 'Scorpion' chuckled through telepathy.

"What do you mean?" Captain Yuri's eyes flickered.

"That goes without saying. If any alien races come, and we succeed in making another killing, that Heavenly Emperor will have enough merit points to leave the army." 'Scorpion' raised an eyebrow. "Captain, are you willing to let him go?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Yuri narrowed his eyes, staring coldly at "Scorpion" without saying a word.

Seeing this, "Scorpion" smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, and continued to transmit his divine power telepathically, "Captain, stop pretending. You're definitely trying to find a way to get your hands on the Heavenly Emperor's armor right now, aren't you?"

Captain Yuri sneered, no longer bothering to hide his intentions, and transmitted his voice, "Don't you want to?"

They've been partners for over a dozen eras, and they know each other's personalities inside and out.

"Of course I want to," Scorpion nodded. "However, I know I have no hope, so I've chosen to settle for second best."

"What do you mean?" Yuri squinted.

"I can help you. Let's join forces and take down that guy. The armor is yours, and I only need some other compensation." 'Scorpion' said with a smile.

"Join forces to destroy him?" Yuri sneered upon hearing this.

"Let's not even talk about whether we can break through his armor's defenses. Even if we could kill him, the military system would immediately label us traitors and we'd be hunted down by law enforcement from the outer battlefield!"

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Scorpion laughed upon hearing this. "Captain, do you think I'm that stupid?"

"What exactly do you want to say? Get to the point!" Yuri frowned.

"That Heavenly Emperor once said that with the armor in hand, killing him would require at least a King-level Immortal," 'Scorpion' transmitted telepathically. "Therefore, we might as well secretly lure a King-level Immortal from another race, and use that race to destroy that Heavenly Emperor!"

"You still say you're not stupid?" Yuri sneered and transmitted his voice, "Attracting an alien king to become an immortal might destroy him, but wouldn't that armor also fall into the alien's hands?"

"So, the key issue becomes how to force back that alien king-level immortal as soon as the Heavenly Emperor falls, so that he won't have time to take anything!" 'Scorpion' transmitted his voice.

Captain Yuri's expression changed immediately.

"I just checked. Within the military system, there is a treasure called 'Void Locking Net,' which is a one-time use item. Once used, it can seal off the void for a short period of time, so even powerful individuals who can teleport will be unable to leave."

"As long as we exchange for this treasure, we can trap the alien king-level immortals for a short time!" Scorpion's eyes gleamed.

"So what if we trap the alien race?" Captain Yuri raised an eyebrow.

"Trapping the opponent is not the goal; letting them know that we have the ability to trap them is the goal!" Scorpion said seriously.

"Go on!" Captain Yuri's gaze sharpened.

"As long as we reveal our 'Sky-Locking Net,' demonstrating our ability to temporarily trap the enemy, and at the same time, our powerful reinforcements capable of annihilating them are about to arrive, Captain, what do you think of that alien king-level immortal? Should we risk our lives to seize the spoils, or should we retreat to save our lives first?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Yuri's eyes lit up instantly, but then he frowned again.

"The method you suggested does have some merit."

"I know about those airlock nets too. Although they are extremely expensive, I can afford them."

"But where can we find a powerful ally capable of threatening the immortality of the alien race?"
