Devour

Chapter 120 Awakening the Starship

Cheng Bai said briefly: "The Zerg has arrived with its vanguard army, and the follow-up troops will surely continue to surge in, and they will arrive within a few hours. After much thought, only the Hunter Gun King is suitable for temporary shelter, so why not hide with your master first. I will come back to fight without any worries."

Call over the smoker and teleport together.

Arriving at the Faceless Man's territory, the Hunter Gun King's shop is closed today.

Cheng Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered what Zhuo Zhibang had said: "When you come back here in the future, if I'm not here, I'll be dead too, so don't worry about me."

Lu Miaoting found the key ring left for her and opened the door.

The store was tidy and clean. All the various weapons and equipment that were displayed in the past were gone.

Cheng Bai said: "It seems that Senior Zhuo has been ready to leave for a long time. I wonder where he went."

"My master taught me how to use keys. There are restrictions on every floor here. I can't walk around without removing them." Lu Miaoting picked out the largest key, which was shaped like a leg bone, inserted it into the wall, and unlocked the restrictions on all floors.

Cheng Bai took off one of his treasure bags and handed it to Lu Miaoting, saying, "This contains all the delicacies from the mountains and the sea, as well as the natural and precious food materials I have accumulated. I will leave them for you to eat and drink without worries."

Lu Miaoting asked in confusion: "Are you going to go back and fight the invading Zerg to the death? Why did the Zerg come to attack the Three Sages Valley?"

Cheng Bai thought, "Since the Insect God has become Sun Chaser's follower, the Zerg will naturally become a tool for exploitation. I should have thought of this earlier." But he couldn't say it out loud, so he just said, "I will go over and investigate the details. It's safest for you to stay here."

"Okay, come back early and don't fight too much."

Lu Miaoting instructed them to move into the room they had lived in before, with the young eagle and the golden giant wolf being arranged in the rooms on the left and right respectively.

Cheng Bai let the smoker live in the first room on the left on the second floor, which was next to the Golden Giant Wolf.

The Smoker had already transformed into a human form and asked curiously, "Master, are you not going to take me with you to this battle?"

Cheng Bai warned: "You have an important responsibility, please help me protect her. I will be back when I am done." He was confident that he had many ways to save his life, and it would be easy for him to escape even if he was defeated, and it would be more convenient to do it alone.

The smoker should claim yes.

After settling his family, Cheng Bai put on the Xuanming treasure robe and looked up to the upper level. The huge star ship had a complex structure, with different rooms and many functions. There were more than ten floors in total. He had never looked at them carefully before, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, we walked up along the platform. The starship was equipped with advanced equipment and complete facilities, which was an eye-opener.

Possessing the inheritance cube, it is very convenient to know the alien technology. If there are many unclear points, you can get the answers by asking Li Tong.

Compared to Shi Chi, Li Tong was indeed more knowledgeable. He ran out to look at the surroundings and said, "This is the Faceless Man's raider starship. It has the highest specifications among their frigates."

"Oh, the warships of the Faceless Tribe?" Cheng Bai was curious to know the details.

When standing upright, the starship is 150 meters high, more than meters long and wide. The hidden turrets contain four rail guns, four glow cannons, and one large thunder cannon, with powerful firepower.

"The magnetic rail gun is also called a magnetic rail gun on Earth. The glow cannon is a rapid-fire laser cannon. The big thunder cannon is called a multiple plasma bomb launcher on Earth. They are products of different cultures. Earth civilization is still in the research and development stage, while the faceless civilization has rich experience in interstellar wars and has occupied a large area of ​​the Shuidong star field. The so-called technological civilization is far beyond Earth."

Cheng Bai was very interested in learning more. The light inside the starship was dim, but the air was fresh, the purification system was amazingly superior, and the equipment was in good condition. He walked to the top observation deck and his eyes lit up.

This is the tallest floor of the starship. The solid walls are so transparent that they seem non-existent. Looking out in all directions, you can see the entire landscape.

There are many other star ships of similar specifications standing around, in the usual style of the Faceless Tribe, round and smooth yet ferocious and majestic, and scattered around in the night like giant dark blades inserted into the earth.

Tonight there was no cloud or fog blocking the moonlight, so it was exceptionally bright. Cheng Bai stood here and looked far into the distance, and it was brighter than anything he had seen before.

All the starships were arranged in a pentagram shape, with the Hunter Gun King located at the edge of the pentagram. The starships near the central pentagonal area were larger than the one they were in, and their appearance was also slightly different.

Li Tong said: "The area in the middle is surrounded by the Faceless Tribe's Earthshaker Starship, which belongs to a higher class of destroyers, with much superior armor and weapons."

When standing upright, they are up to 300 meters tall, about 75 meters long and wide, with concealed turrets housing eight rail guns, four large thunder guns, and one dissociation gun, with more advanced equipment.

The so-called dissociation cannon is a dark matter particle weapon that Earth civilization theoretically believes exists but has not yet realized. The Faceless Tribe has long used it as the standard main gun for large starships.

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "We have destroyers and frigates, but why haven't we seen the mother ship?"

From a distance, I thought the most important core-class starship should be docked in the central area, but there was only a bumpy empty space, like some kind of mine.

Li Tong pointed out: "We have seen the mothership a long time ago. It is the huge temple dedicated to the Lord thousands of miles to the southeast."

Cheng Bai recalled and suddenly realized, "It left the fleet to excavate the Pangu ruins, obtained the Fire of Truth and other secrets, and stayed there until it lost the source of the divine fire and ran out of energy and became unable to move. No wonder it once had an amazing number of troops stationed there."

The interior of the observation tower is simple and smooth, with a disc-shaped base standing in the middle, supporting a huge multi-faceted sphere, which glows coldly under the moonlight.

Cheng Bai stepped forward and took a closer look and said, "I guess it is the control core of the starship. The Diamond People are the same. They all like polyhedral spheres, which are slightly similar to the inner elixir." Although they are all polyhedral spheres, there are still significant differences in their shapes.

Li Tong explained, "The mysteries of the universe all have the same purpose. This is the beacon stove of the Faceless Clan. It is easy to disassemble and is also a magical tool. Its function is similar to the Wandering Soul Orb, and it can control the starship to fly faster. Unfortunately, it is not controlled by divine consciousness, and needs a divine fire source or special Taoist fire to ignite it."

Cheng Bai stretched out his palm, and brilliant golden flames rolled in his hand, sometimes shaped like a scimitar, sometimes like a long sword, and sometimes like a spear. Ever since he lit the brilliant spiritual lamp, the characteristics of this source of divine fire have become whatever he wants.

The beacon furnace seemed to sense the presence of a divine fire source and slowly floated away from the base, revealing the deep furnace body underneath.

Li Tong said hurriedly: "Hey...it has reacted. The sphere is filled with six Chilong beast crystal cores, which are well preserved. If you ignite it with a little flame, you can awaken the power source."

Cheng Bai flicked his finger and a golden flame flew into the furnace. A blazing flame suddenly burst out, holding up the multi-faceted sphere and slowly rotating it in the air. The light in the observation deck was bright and particularly bright in the night.

Not knowing what to do next, Cheng Bai asked, "Then how should I control it?"

Li Tong laughed dryly and said, "You still need Lu Miaoting's key to start it, and then voice control will be enough."

Cheng Bai understood: "It turns out to be an artificial intelligence that only obeys the captain's orders." Looking at the dark night scene outside, his heart suddenly palpitated and he asked anxiously: "How do I put out the fire?"

Li Tong said: "Usually, when you light a furnace, you wait until the power of the crystal core is exhausted. For you, it's enough to just recycle the energy."

A strange image of a Taotie appeared beside Cheng Bai. It opened its mouth and sucked, swallowing the flames in the furnace. The furnace returned to darkness and lost power. The multi-faceted sphere slowly fell down and remained motionless.

The night was quiet, the moonlight was like water, and nothing seemed to have changed around, but like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, it caused a sensation among the Faceless People.

The starship hadn't emitted any light for tens of thousands of years. Many faceless men were looking into the distance, as if expecting something.

Cheng Bai was about to teleport away when his sharp senses detected unusual movements around him. He thought to himself, "I lit the beacon furnace and it actually caused a big trouble."

Standing at the door of the Hunter Gun King was a tall, thin, faceless man dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden crown. He had an outstanding temperament. He was the lord who appeared on Eggshell Island.

Dozens of faceless men of varying heights, weights and shapes quickly gathered behind him. Each of them looked majestic and awe-inspiring. The faceless leader was also among them.

The Faceless Lord asked in doubt: "This Star Ship Tower seems to have been rented to someone from the Gentleman Clan?"

A chubby faceless man stepped forward and said, "My Lord, the house was originally leased to Zhuo Zhibang for a hundred years. When the lease expired, he said he wanted to buy it, and my Lord agreed immediately. The deal was made sixty years ago, and it was this matter that was handled by this general, Mi Shaoliang."
