On Planet Pandora V4, in the depths of the poisonous forest, the sharp and exquisite three-pronged spaceship was parked on the lawn. The Divine Arrow spaceship's entire body was translucent, icy-blue in color.
At this moment, only Xin Jie was working in the command hall inside the spaceship. The rest of the people were cultivating in the induction cabin.
Not long after, a new signal popped up on the communication channel. Xin Jie quickly picked it up. The person on the light screen was the four-eyed man holding a mountain in his mouth. However, when he saw Xin Jie, the four-eyed man was very obedient. "Brother Jie!"
Xin Jie said, "How is it?
Is there any news? "
The four-eyed man said, "We found Sister Xia. Sister Xia is with Miss Liang Yi. Miss Yiran from Blue Pole Star City has arranged for Long Feiyu to send them back."
Xin Jie was a little surprised. "They found Liang Yi?"
The four-eyed man said, "But there is still no news of Brother Ding. We don't know where he is. The surprise attack and dragon-slaying groups have searched all over the world but have not found him. Sister Xia and the others are about to arrive at Planet KV303."
Xin Jie nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. Come over as soon as possible!"
After the communication was disconnected, Jin Tai walked in from the connection cabin. "Brother Xin Jie, Sister Yan is back!"
Only then did Xin Jie stand up from his seat. He knew that Meng Yan must have brought news of Ding Meng back. Moreover, she had returned directly to Base V4, which meant that the matter was still very important. Otherwise, Meng Yan could have directly communicated with him.
After thinking about it, Xin Jie decisively woke Little Rascal and the others up. Currently, the Divine Arrow spaceship's energy was very low, mainly because Little Rascal and the others were cultivating. Now, only Little Rascal, Xiao Ai, and Dai Yi were lying in the induction cabin.
The main reason he had brought Dai Yi to Planet V4 was because of the lack of manpower. After all, Jin Tai and the others were not enough to build the base on Planet V4.
A group of people quickly gathered on the lawn outside the spaceship. Little Rascal and Xiao Ai's appearance had not changed much, but Meng Yan could feel that their auras were very exaggerated from afar. Compared to the last time they met, their strength had increased by at least four or five levels. They were even faster than Ding Meng.
Not to mention the two of them, even Dai Yi was now in high spirits. The luster in his eyes was even more dazzling, and the color around his eyes had become a lot more foggy. It was obvious that his strength was also increasing. He was at least at the Warlord level. Meng Yan secretly thought that this Divine Light Energy was indeed worthy of being a super technology of the Great God Civilization.
Seeing that it was Meng Yan, Little Rascal hurried over to greet her, "Where's Ding Meng?"
Meng Yan shook her head and said, "He is indeed missing. I cannot find him, either. However, there is new news."
Dai Yi was also a little anxious. "Could something have happened?"
Meng Yan said, "According to Lil Bing, Mister Ding Meng found the Divine Light Energy, then killed more than ten Battle Saint Old Monsters from the Star Rainbow Corporation, heavily injured Ling Xingqi, and kidnapped Eisendell from the Rainbow Family. In the end, he escaped with Sect Master Leng Yin of the Seven Mountain Family."
Xin Jie smiled bitterly, "There's nothing this little brat doesn't dare to do, to actually cause such a big ruckus."
Little Rascal said, "Is there no other news?"
Meng Yan said, "The news I heard is that Mister Ding Meng departed from Planet Beidou and infiltrated the Star Rainbow Corporation's Qujing Base on Planet Pari. In the end, he went to Planet Poison Dragon in the Fertile Chalk System. Mister Ding Meng was last seen on Planet Poison Dragon. After that, there was no more news."
Xin Jie frowned and said, "That's not right. How did Lan Bing know about such a secret?"
Meng Yan did not hide anything. "A few days ago, the Star Rainbow Transit String personally visited her and told her this news."
Little Rascal sighed. "Looks like we have to continue waiting."
Xin Jie pondered and said, "The ruckus this time is a little too big. In my opinion, KV303's Green Arrow Base can be retreated."
Little Rascal asked curiously, "Why?"
Xin Jie said seriously, "That Transit String was used to release a signal. In my opinion, the Star Rainbow Corporation won't be as quiet as before. They will definitely take revenge. Now that Ding Meng isn't here, I'm afraid they will make a move on the refugee camp."
Most people knew that Ding Meng had a lot of friends in the refugee camp on Planet KV303. Moreover, Ding Meng had always cared about that place. If they wanted to take revenge on Ding Meng while Ding Meng was away, Green Arrow Base would be the best place to do so.
Dai Yi couldn't help but say, "That can't be, right?
The Star Rainbow Corporation isn't an extreme pirate force after all. Do you think they would do something like pirates? "
Xin Jie's expression was grim. "They don't have to rob or kill. Just cutting off the surrounding supply lines will make life difficult for the captain, Yu Liang, and the others. Besides, Ding Meng killed a Battle-Saint of the Star Rainbow Corporation. If more than ten of our Battle-Saints are killed, do you think we will let this go?"
Meng Yan hesitated and said, "Do you want me to go and pick them up?"
Xiao Ai suddenly said, "If that's the case, this place will become unsafe soon. You should know that the Star Rainbow Corporation once built a base on Planet V9. If they want to search, they will be able to find this place."
Xin Jie said decisively, "We will fly deeper into the Pandora System and go to the Poison Barrier Planet where the toxins are thicker. Jin Tai and the others have the technology to build a base there."
Dai Yi hesitated and said, "If we retreat now, how will Ding Meng contact us if he returns?"
Meng Yan said, "Miss Dai, don't worry. If Mr. Ding Meng returns, he will definitely meet up with Lil Bing. As long as he returns to Shenghao, we will be able to contact him."
Xin Jie shook his head and said, "He's not stupid. There's no way he would meet up with Lan Bing at this time. That would be selling his whereabouts. If I'm not wrong, he won't show up for a while. He is either in the Norse Empire or in the Devouring World."
"The Devouring World?" Everyone was surprised.
Dai Yi couldn't help but say, "The Federation and the Devouring World are like fire and water. Humans can't survive there at all!"
Meng Yan said, "Not necessarily. Mr. Ding Meng is immune to toxins and is very strong. He might be able to move around in the Devouring World. You should know that he is not an ordinary person."
Xin Jie nodded and said, "It is indeed possible. The key is that he escaped with the Devouring World's Sect Master. We don't know what exactly happened in the Fertile Chalk Galaxy. What we need to do now is to find a relatively safe place to hide and not drag him down." Everyone nodded.
Only Meng Yan was lost in thought. If things were really as Xin Jie said, then Lan Bing was definitely under a lot of pressure. After all, on the surface, Ding Meng's identity was Lan Bing's secretary. Although the Sheng Hao Group and the Starbow Group had always had small conflicts, they rarely had a big head-on conflict. This time, it was a big conflict in the standard sense. Hopefully, Mr. Ding Meng had gone in the direction of the Norse Empire.
However, she didn't know Ding Meng as well as Xin Jie. At this moment, in the depths of outer space, an ostrich-like Star Beast was quietly flying in the darkness. This beast had a pair of dark blue wings on both sides, and its whole body was covered with tentacles and claws. This was the Devouring World's Space Weapon, the Void Spirit Ray. It was flying in the direction of the Devouring World's headquarters behind the Zeratul Star Field. It was the Poison Cloud Demon Sea Star System that made the humans of the Federation pale.
As the Devouring World's Spiritual Beast, the Void Spirit Ray was actually an extremely complicated life form. After the Devouring World's Commander-level and above people died, if conditions permitted, their bodies and souls would be collected and placed in the so-called Sacred Lake to be refined. With the help of all kinds of natural treasures, it would take a long time to evolve into a Void Spirit Ray.
Although the Void Spirit Ray didn't have as many advanced technology systems as human starships, a single Void Spirit Ray was powerful enough to rival one or even several large fleets of the Federation. First of all, its blue outer skin was made of high-grade soft glow material. It was basically invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire. Furthermore, it could withstand space storms. Without sufficient firepower, human starships couldn't break its skin at all. Just this alone was intimidating.
Secondly, its internal structure was purely made of the bones, flesh, and large organs of the exotic beasts. There were a lot of spaces that could store all kinds of toxins and energy and accommodate different types of units. It didn't exist in a place like a command center. Everything was carried out by the Sect Master's consciousness.
The Void Spirit Ray was equivalent to a strange fish in the universe. It wasn't easy to cultivate this kind of exotic beast, and it was very difficult for it to truly die. Therefore, it was very rare. Usually, only the masters above the Sect Master level would have one. This was both the advantage and disadvantage of the Devouring World. The advantage was that they could go wherever they wanted, and the disadvantage was that they couldn't transport troops on a large scale, especially high-grade elite troops.
A hundred years ago, the Devouring World launched an invasion war against the Holy Grail Federation, and the root cause of their failure was this. Thirty Void Spirit Rays carried thousands of Demon Souls, Elders, Great Elders, and Sect Masters, broke through the natural barrier of the Zeta Tu Star Field and launched a surprise attack on the Northern Horizon Star System of the Holy Grail Federation. Wherever they went, corpses were everywhere, and poisonous clouds filled the sky.
The Holy Grail Federation was caught off guard, resulting in the loss of a large amount of territory. After the Federation recovered from the shock, they quickly gathered reinforcements from everywhere, and at the same time, bought a large amount of war supplies from the Norse Empire, and engaged in an unprecedentedly fierce battle with the Devouring World army. To put it bluntly, they were exchanging people for people.
The reason why the Federation adopted such a cruel tactic was that they sacrificed the frontline soldiers to buy time for the fleets behind them to gather. Once the frontline fell into a stalemate, the Devouring World would be powerless, because the Void Spirit Rays had to pay a huge price to transport their elite troops back and forth. After a few rounds of battle, the Federation suddenly gathered more than two hundred large interstellar fleets, including thirty special fleets and five super fleets, and pushed back with an unstoppable force.
In this war of the century, twenty-six Void Spirit Skates in the Devouring Realm were turned into cannon fodder, and the remaining four were seriously injured. All the ground troops were wiped out, and none of the warriors under the Great Elder survived. At the same time, thirteen Patriarchs had also fallen. This was a real blow to the vitality of the Saint Brilliance Federation in the truest sense of the word. This war had also exchanged for a hundred years of peace for the Saint Brilliance Federation.
When the Frogman Kingdom saw that the Devouring World had suffered such heavy losses, they secretly sent three expeditionary forces across the Fertile Chalk System, wanting to take down the Poison Cloud Demon Sea in one fell swoop. In the end, the Norse Empire took advantage of this opportunity and sent a large number of troops across the Fertile Chalk System, beating the Frogman Kingdom so badly that they could not raise their heads. In order to stabilize the situation in the Fertile Chalk System, the Frogman Kingdom had no choice but to call back the expeditionary forces.
After that battle, the four families understood one thing: it was best not to send out troops rashly. Everyone was in a state of mutual restraint, and whoever made the first move would be unlucky. Of course, the Devouring World and the Frogman Kingdom also saw how terrifying the human world was once united, so from then on, everyone played on their own.
