Tales Of The World Devouring Serpent Chapter 351 The Start of The Battle

Chapter 351 The Start of The Battle

”d.a.m.n, I saw them, s.p.a.ce pirates. They used the gravity of that planet to pull us out of the hypers.p.a.ce!”

Fang Yun captured another electromagnetic signal.

When the s.p.a.ceship not far ahead discovered Fang Yun and the Federation, Fang Yun and the others also discovered them. It’s hard to not see each other when both sides are in such an empty area of s.p.a.ce.

There are no stars around, so there are no messy electromagnetic signals. Using their monitoring equipment, both sides are extremely visible to each other. Fang Yun was even able to clearly see them with his eyes.

The incoming s.p.a.ceship considers Fang Yun and the other pirates not only because they are in such a secret route but also because they used the gravity of a planet to pull them out of the hypers.p.a.ce.

If a strong gravitational force is exerted on a s.p.a.cecraft that is undergoing a s.p.a.ce jump, it will result in the said s.p.a.cecraft getting pulled from the hypers.p.a.ce to the physical s.p.a.ce.

For example, the gravity well generator was invented based on this point.

These pirates shouldn’t have such advanced technology, so they took a different approach by pulling a planet to the corresponding route.

As long as a s.p.a.cecraft pa.s.s through the hypers.p.a.ce in that route, they will definitely be pulled by the gravity of the planet back into the physical s.p.a.ce, giving these pirates the chance to plunder their s.p.a.cecraft.

”Attack!”

Inside a cabin in the s.p.a.ce cargo ship, a bearded man suddenly yelled.

”Hold them away, don’t let them get closer!!”

If these pirates manage to get close, then it will hard to resist them. These guys are usually very fierce and bloodthirsty.

This s.p.a.ce cargo ship is very large, with a length of 13 kilometers. They are transporting very important commodities, so they chose such a secret route and employed over 1000 mercenaries.

At the same time, on this s.p.a.ce cargo ship, there are also fifty laser cannons and a large number of advanced guns. At the same time, there are hundreds of advanced s.p.a.ce fighters ready to launch at any time.

It can be said that their security force is very high.

However, the captain of the s.p.a.ce cargo ship, Levi is convinced that someone must have leaked their news, hence he is sure that these pirates must be very prepared.

d.a.m.n it!”

Levi’s loud shouts sounded across the command room.

”d.a.m.n, are you not ready yet?”

Before the laser cannon is activated, it needs a period of time to gather enough energy. Usually, this period of time is very small and doesn’t really affect anything, but now with pirates right in front of them, Levi is feeling very impatient.

The short energy gathering period that he didn’t care about before caused him now to feel anxious.

“Boom!”

However, right at that moment, a beam of light quickly flew towards them, almost blinding Levi’s dog’s eyes.

”It’s a laser cannon!”

The bearded Levi shouted angrily.

”f.u.c.k, they are really prepared.”

”Be careful, don’t let them break through our defense.”

Their s.p.a.cecraft is also equipped with an energy shield, but for every second that the energy shield is turned on, a huge amount of energy is consumed. Furthermore, if the attack is too powerful, beyond the bearing limit of the energy shield, then the shield is very likely to collapse.

“Boom!!!”

This laser beam quickly reached the s.p.a.ce cargo ship and landed straight on their energy shield, creating a large explosion.

The energy shield managed to block the laser beam, but the strength of the attack frightened Levi a lot.

”d.a.m.n it! it’s more powerful than our laser cannon!”

He stared at the display in front of him in horror.

Not far away, Fang Yun was quickly dashing towards the s.p.a.ce cargo ship, the battleships behind him also quickly dispersed and headed towards the cargo ship from different directions.

After locking the s.p.a.ce cargo ship ahead, the warlord 1 series fighting started acc.u.mulating energy to launch their laser cannons, but it’s the same for the cargo ship.

Laser cannons need time to acc.u.mulate energy.

Only Fang Yun’s “Energy Beam” skill doesn’t need charging at all.

Furthermore, his current energy beam attack is extremely powerful. He upgraded “Greater Energy Beam” three more times in the past few years, raising its level to level 4, only 1 level away from being maxed out.

In the past ten years, the technology and military weapons of the Federation have undergone a real revolution. Naturally, Fang Yun also grew a lot. He has evolved five times during these ten years.

He used the skill points he got from these 5 evolutions to upgrade “Greater Energy Beam” three times, and “Cell distortion” one time. His combat power and attack methods naturally increased a lot.

Fang Yun’s speed was extremely fast. Although he didn’t fully use his speed, he still crossed a distance over 100,000 kilometers in a short amount of time and reached the cargo ship ahead.

Levi is currently giving orders to other people in the command room now.

His s.p.a.ce cargo ship belongs to the Hagrid Transportation Industry. The shipment they are transporting this time is extremely important. They have used many safety measures, whether it’s choosing a remote and secret route, using just a single cargo ship to not draw attention, and more…However, he didn’t expect someone to betray them.

”d.a.m.n it, if something goes wrong with the shipment this time, the boss will definitely kill me… provided that I can go back alive.”

If it were ordinary s.p.a.ce pirates, Levi naturally won’t care, but these pirates came prepared and their firepower is seemingly higher than his.

Suddenly, an unusual fluctuation appeared on the display screen of the detector in front of them. Just as they were wondering what it is about, an extremely huge monster appeared next to him.

”What is that?”

The people in the command room screamed in horror. The picture on this big screen is exactly a picture of the s.p.a.ce in front of their s.p.a.ceship.

Right now, one the screen, there’s an extremely huge monster in the dark s.p.a.ce. It’s a giant serpent, and it’s currently looking at them.

Its body size is extremely huge. At first glance, it’s even bigger than their s.p.a.ceship.

In fact, it’s indeed the case, after so many evolutions, Fang Yun has grown to be over 15 kilometers long, which is 2 kilometers longer than this s.p.a.ceship.

”What kind of creature is this?”

There are some special creatures in s.p.a.ce. Those creatures usually eat radiation or various meteorite and minerals. Some of them are huge, and some of them are pet.i.te, and they are collectively called star beasts.

However, even the largest Star beast that Levi ever saw is only 8 kilometers long. Star beasts that are over 10 kilometers are extremely rare.

However, there is a special branch of Star beasts in the universe. They are extremely rare and even the smallest one of them is about 10 kilometers long.

They are called the Pathogen.

”d.a.m.n it, that thing won’t be a Pathogen, right?”

Levi’s heart almost stopped, his face instantly became pale.

For people like them who frequently travel in s.p.a.ce, their knowledge of pathogens is much deeper than most people.

This kind of creature can control other intelligent creatures and latch into a civilization like a parasite, then spread like a virus, hence the name Pathogen.

The people who are controlled by it are called the infected.

Everyone who has been in contact with these creatures will be inspected by the relevant departments of the SkyRiver Empire. This inspection is very c.u.mbersome and time-consuming. Usually taking ten years or even several decades.

Furthermore, intelligent creatures, regardless of their status, even if they are a prince or a king of an advanced civilization, must be inspected.

In fact, this already pretty good, at least they aren’t like primitive or low-level civilization who will be immediately destroyed upon confirming their contact with Pathogens.

In fact, some of them have encountered Pathogens before. Fortunately, the civilization behind them is relatively advanced so they could escape disaster.

However, they still require monitoring detention.

Moreover, encountering this kind of creature, it’s rare to not be controlled by them, and if they get controlled, then the SkyRiver Empire does have the means to detect it. Their final fate will be immediate execution, not even an opportunity to get detained.

Just as Lewell was fearfully thinking about his future fate, the behemoth ahead suddenly opened his mouth and released another energy beams towards them.
