Chapter 810 - 425: Success_2
“According to the Zhulu Warship Captains from the founding era, Rosetta should be of the same kind as Horus,” Song Wujiang said. He stopped talking after that, but Song Xingru and the two others already understood the implication.
Horus Dusk, the brilliant Sixth Rank Ancestor from the Twilight Marquis Family, a prodigy who stepped into the ranks of Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captains at a little over two thousand years old.
If Rosetta the Duke and Horus are of the same kind, that means he also became a Fearless Captain at a little over two thousand years old, and with the Chenxing Principality’s five thousand three hundred years since its establishment, his age now should be at most around eight thousand, two thousand years shy of a Fearless Captain’s ten-thousand-year lifespan. If some rare life-extending spiritual objects are added, he might well have three thousand years left to live.
Thus, the rumors of his impending doom obviously don’t hold water.
…
Compared to the tense battle situation in the western part of the Chaotic Star Field, Song Chi’s situation was much more relaxed.
After rushing and slowing down over the past ten or so days, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong once again entered the Territory Mid-region of the Chaotic Star Field, but this time it steered clear of the Chaotic Star Zone to the south and went straight into the heart of the Chaotic Star Section.
According to the information provided by Wang Zhen, the genuine “Divine Binding Chains” is located on the “Chaotic Floating Land,” a Level 5 Floating Land within the Chaotic Star Section. The good news is, this Chaotic Floating Land isn’t controlled by a single alien civilization but is jointly held by three top Intermediate Civilizations, each possessing Sixth Rank combat power units. This also provided an opportunity to enter the interior of the Floating Land during wartime.
At the edge of a small asteroid belt on the periphery of the Chaotic Star Field, Song Chi easily enslaved a Third Rank starship, relying on the dominance of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
This starship belonged to a transport ship under the Mengjiao Tribe, which was the most powerful among the three tribes on the Chaotic Floating Land. Now, there was a Sixth Rank Mengjiao Tribe starship sitting in the ancestral lands of the tribe, which gave them the most domineering presence over the entire Chaotic Floating Land.
Indeed, the Mengjiao Tribe-owned starship that Song Chi enslaved was never inspected from start to finish, easily sneaking Song Chi past the Floating Land Shield and into the interior of the Floating Land.
Of course, even if he were really inspected, Song Chi could enter the Ruins Market to ensure he wouldn’t be discovered.
The reason why the tripartite presence of the three tribes provided an opportunity to sneak into the Floating Land was that if a single civilization controlled it, they would definitely restrict the traffic of warships during this critical wartime period, especially knowing that the Torch Human Fleet would dispatch small squads deep into enemy territory for harassment.
Without the warships’ entry and exit channels, Song Chi, no matter how he ensured he wouldn’t be discovered, would have no way to sneak into the Chaotic Floating Land.
It was precisely because of the differences in the status of the three civilizations that Mengjiao Tribe warships could freely enter and leave the Floating Land, demonstrating the tribe’s absolute dominant position.
Upon entering the interior of the Floating Land, Song Chi immediately separated from the enslaved Third Rank Mengjiao Tribe starship, allowing the captivated tribe captain to continue their usual tasks, while he himself directly activated the “Mirage Shadow” feature, maneuvering the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong straight toward the location of the “Divine Binding Chains.”
According to the information Wang Zhen obtained earlier, the genuine “Divine Binding Chains” hadn’t been discovered by alien species but were buried deep within a volcano on the Chaotic Floating Land.
Song Chi kept his search simple, activating the “Peeping Spirit Eyes” feature of the Sky Patrol Radar.
A few minutes later, a highly unusual radar image appeared in front of Song Chi.
Compared to a regular radar image, the range displayed on this image exceeded the normal by a thousandfold, easily enveloping the entire Chaotic Floating Land, which was nearly twenty light-years in diameter.
In addition, the radar image was filled with numerous light points emitting various colored glows.
White, blue, purple, orange, red.
Regrettably, there were no silver light points in sight.
Clearly, these light points represented Starry Sea Oddities corresponding to their color quality, and now the “Peeping Spirit Eyes” component had been enhanced to the Sixth Rank, which in theory should have been able to detect the presence of silver Starry Sea Oddities.
Song Chi guessed that they might have been taken away by the high-level combat forces headed to the western portion of the Chaotic Star Field or possibly concealed by special methods. Of course, the most likely probability was that there were simply no Silver Legendary Oddities in the Chaotic Star Field to begin with.
Without dwelling on this, Song Chi quickly shifted his gaze to the few red light points.
Among these double-digit number of red light points, three locations were particularly dense, with one location amassing six objects.
“`
However, Song Chi had initially disregarded these three locations; it was obvious that each was the site of the ancestral land of three civilizations on the Chaotic Floating Land. Among them, the location housing the six Red Oddities was undoubtedly the Mengjiao Tribe’s ancestral land. At the moment, with a Sixth Rank Combat Power entity stationed there, it was extremely dangerous.
What he was interested in were the other several red dots.
There were a total of three red dots, but since the radar screen could not display the terrain, which of the three contained the volcano needed to be personally searched by Song Chi.
Taking advantage of the duration of the “Mirage Shadow” feature not yet ending, Song Chi headed straight for the nearest red dot.
Chaotic Floating Land, Bingchi Lake.
Looking at the giant figure in the middle of Bingchi Lake below, Song Chi shook his head slightly and quickly turned the warship, heading for the second red dot.
The gigantic figure wandering under the lake’s surface was an Ice Armored Giant Turtle exceeding twenty thousand meters in length. Its strength likely ranked among the most powerful of the Fifth Rank, and it occupied a favorable environment. If the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was to take action, it would inevitably cause a significant commotion.
The key point was that the Red Epic Oddity was still beneath its shell, clearly not the Divine Binding Chains, which is why Song Chi did not take action.
Since both jump devices had entered cooldown, Song Chi entered the Ruins Market on the spot and waited until the next day to continue towards the location of the second red dot.
“Hmm… is that really the volcano?”
Looking at the towering, cylindrical mountain in the distance, Song Chi then looked down at the radar screen, confirming that the red dot displayed coincided exactly with this volcano. Only then was he sure that what he was looking for was most likely right here.
Soon, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong successfully arrived above the volcano’s crater.
“An active volcano?”
In the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Chi frowned.
An active volcano was one thing, but key issue was that the crater, with a diameter of less than three hundred meters, could not accommodate Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s entry.
Without the warship’s own defence and isolation, it was clear that Song Chi could not enter the volcano directly.
Thinking this, Song Chi had no choice but to summon the Flame Giant and actively placed a Brainwave Imprint on it.
Compared to real-time remote control through Brainwave Imprint, Mind Sound Transmission and the like were obviously much more troublesome.
Soon, the miniaturized Flame Giant rushed into the crater, swelling its body only after completely submerging in the fiery molten lava, thus perfectly using the energy of the volcanic lava to conceal its presence.
However, what was problematic was that the space inside the volcano’s crater was frighteningly large, making the task of searching for a Red Oddity within incredibly difficult.
At this moment, Song Chi thought of a special component aboard the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the [Ultrasonic Geomagnetic Detector].
This component, since being installed, had almost never been used because Song Chi had long since moved beyond the stratum that still needed to mine various mineral resources to earn money; yet now it could come in handy.
Although this component was mainly used to detect different magnetic fields of various mineral veins to determine their presence, the Starry Sea Floating Land being a convergence of the essence of Starry Sea, also possessed special magnetic fields, and generally, the higher the quality of the Strange Object, the stronger its magnetic field.
Now evolved to Orange Quality, the [Ultrasonic Geomagnetic Detector]’s detection depth had reached three thousand meters. After continuously scanning various positions of the volcano’s crater below, Song Chi quickly pinpointed the location of the Red Oddity.
A few minutes later, once the miniaturized Flame Giant returned to the battleship, it was unsurprisingly clutching the genuine [Divine Binding Chains] in its hand.
PS: Only one chapter today, I’ll try to catch up with the second chapter tomorrow.
