Chapter 294

The Nuolanshan Family

“Look, it’s the Silver Stream Guards. Two Silver Stream Guards are working together to block that monster.”

“There are actually Silver Stream Guards on Earth!”

“As expected of a planet once ruled by a peerless expert!”

The crew members seemed excited.

Many valuable items revealed in previous videos sent a signal… that even after the peerless expert’s demise, many treasures remained on Earth. One must remember, that was a peerless expert who made the Silverblue Empire dare not resist, and even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was unwilling to interfere or provoke!

“Atuka!” The captain’s eyes were bloodshot, a little agitated. “Is that monster alive or dead?”

“Among Earth’s Eight Heroes, Luo Feng, Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, and Sokoluofu sacrificed themselves, employing a psychic secret technique to ultimately kill the Devouring Beast and save humanity on Earth.” Atuka quickly reported the information gathered from the network.

“Damn it!!!” The captain couldn’t help but curse furiously.

“Damn it, rubbish, go to hell!” The captain cursed viciously.

The eight crew members were somewhat astonished.

Today was supposed to be a day of pleasant surprises, so why was the captain so angry?

“How could it be dead!” The captain was enraged.

The Golden Horned Beast was destined to become a peak Sector Lord!

Because of the Golden Horned Beast’s inherent talent, once it reached the Ninth Tier of Sector Lord, it was practically invincible below the Undying level! A Golden Horned Beast at its peak was not to be trifled with, and even harder to capture alive. But a Golden Horned Beast cub, merely at the First Tier of Star-level, could be captured alive by cosmic adventurers in countless ways!

Only First Tier Star-level!

Any powerful Psychic Master ‘Illusionist’ could easily tame a Golden Horned Beast!

The rarity and caution of Golden Horned Beasts made it incredibly difficult to encounter a young one! It was likely that any Undying expert or Sector Lord would be willing to pay an exorbitant price for a Golden Horned Beast cub.

“An exorbitant fortune!”

“The price of a Golden Horned Beast cub is beyond my imagination!” The captain was filled with regret.

Why didn’t he come earlier!

These Earthlings were simply squandering a treasure! They actually killed a young Starry Sky Behemoth of the most supreme bloodline. If he had obtained it, with careful handling, he would surely become a true upper-echelon figure in the cosmos! The price of a Golden Horned Beast cub would probably not be less than the entire Nuolanshan Family’s wealth, after all, it represented a peak Sector Lord existence!

“Damn it, damn it!” The captain was furious to the extreme.

“The corpse!”

“Yes, the corpse!” The captain’s eyes lit up. “The corpse of an Undying expert is incredibly precious, and the corpse of a Golden Horned Beast cub is just as valuable. Although not as good as a living one, it’s definitely worth more than a planet!” There were plenty of major powers and organizations in the cosmos willing to pay a high price for a Golden Horned Beast corpse for dissection and research.

“Atuka, where is that monster’s corpse!” the captain shouted.

All eight crew members were very puzzled.

“Captain.” The spaceship’s AI, Atuka, replied, “After the Devouring Beast was killed, humans sent planetary-level martial artists into the seabed, but then countless monsters gathered, preventing humans from obtaining the Devouring Beast’s corpse. To this day… the Devouring Beast’s corpse remains a mystery!”

“Three years, three years, the Golden Horned Beast can devour, it has an inner world.” The captain speculated, “When it died, during the collapse of its inner world, the dissipated energy supported its body, so I believe the corpse shouldn’t have decayed much in three years.”

“With the defensive scales of a Golden Horned Beast, even if it’s dead, it shouldn’t have been eaten by those ordinary monsters.”

The captain was extremely nervous.

At least for now…

The Golden Horned Beast’s corpse was definitely the most coveted treasure on this planet for him.

The cosmic adventure spaceship hovered over the Atlantic Ocean, continuing to gather information about Earth. As time passed, the data became more comprehensive.

Huaxia time, 11:42 AM.

“Captain, all data collection is complete,” Atuka said.

“The planet’s technological and military aspects are still in the initial stages of ‘space civilization,’ far, far behind ‘cosmic civilization.’ In terms of military might, this planet has no power to resist our cosmic adventurer squad. The only thing worth noting is… this planet possesses many precious cosmic items such as Muya Jing, Black God Combat Suits, Moyun Teng, Psychic Weapons, and Space Rings.” Atuka quickly stated.

During the battle of Mist Island.

Hong fought the Beast Emperor, using precisely the ‘Moyun Teng.’ Although that video was secretive, too many people saw it, and it could indeed be found in hidden corners of the network. Moreover, the hunt for ‘Muya Jing’ was frantic back then, and some traces could still be found online. Items like Black God Suits, Psychic Weapons, and Space Rings were even easier to deduce and discover.

The captain and the eight crew members were all somewhat excited.

“Moyun Teng?”

“If Moyun Teng seeds can be successfully planted and cultivated into saplings! Each sapling is worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon currency.”

“It’s not surprising it’s expensive. If Moyun Teng is carefully cultivated with great effort, it can almost 100% reach the Cosmic level. How could it not be expensive?”

Moyun Teng seeds were not too expensive.

Because it was difficult for the seeds to sprout and be cultivated into saplings! However, it wasn’t difficult for saplings to grow to the ‘Cosmic level.’ For example… by consuming enough ‘Muya Jing,’ they could reach the Cosmic level. The value of a Cosmic-level expert was immense, even though the cost of cultivation was extremely high. Yet, Moyun Teng saplings remained expensive.

“Muya Jing? The supreme food for taming monsters and cultivating plant life, ‘Muya Jing’? Even Domain Lords, Sector Lords, and even Undying experts would purchase it!”

“Muya Jing has such a wide range of uses, suitable for humans, monsters, plant life, and many other life forms.”

“Earth actually has Muya Jing.”

The entire spaceship was incredibly excited.

“Captain, a special dew has also been discovered on Earth, named ‘Evolution Dew’ by the Earthlings. After identification, it should be the ‘Purple Light Dew’ from the cosmos,” Atuka added. “Furthermore, it’s estimated that the quantity of Purple Light Dew on Earth is very large, possibly hundreds of tons.”

Atuka also estimated the approximate quantity based on the current number of high-level students on Earth.

“Earth has Purple Light Dew?” The captain was somewhat surprised. “That peerless expert truly bestowed no small favor upon Earth.”

Hundreds of tons of Purple Light Dew, compared to Moyun Teng, Arc Blade Discs, and the Golden Horned Beast’s corpse, was a huge difference. Some planets rich in Purple Light Dew had thousands or tens of thousands of tons, so hundreds of tons didn’t particularly shock the captain.

In the control room.

The captain and eight crew members were discussing how to extract the maximum profit from Earth.

“Without a doubt, the most precious thing on Earth is the legacy treasure of that peerless expert.” The green-skinned woman’s eyes gleamed. “That was a peerless expert capable of entering the Dark Universe physically and concealing cosmic coordinates. If we could obtain the treasure left by that expert, then…”

“You’re dreaming,” the burly ape-man shook his head. “Leaving aside whether that peerless expert perished on this planet, there’s one thing… if we get our hands on treasures left by such an existence, 99% of us will lose our lives.”

The crew members discussed animatedly.

The captain frowned, contemplating how to proceed.

“According to Plan 3,” the captain said suddenly in a low voice.

“Captain?” All eight crew members looked over.

“Captain!” The spaceship’s AI, Atuka, called out, “A call request from the family fleet has been received.”

“Hmm?” The captain’s expression changed slightly.

“You all stay here, we’ll act later. I’ll go deal with those arrogant guys,” the captain said, then immediately left the control room and entered his private quarters.

In the captain’s lounge.

The tall, handsome captain sat in a chair, closing his eyes: “Connect to the Virtual Universe Network.”

Intelligent optical computers and other devices were usually semi-connected to the Virtual Universe, allowing them to receive messages. However, to make a call or send a message oneself, one’s consciousness had to enter the Virtual Universe.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island under the Ganwu Continent.

In a simple, ancient residential courtyard, the captain suddenly appeared. A fist-sized ‘sprite’ rested on his shoulder. This residential house was the captain’s ‘property’ in the Virtual Universe. Without property in the Virtual Universe, one would appear directly on the street, like Luo Feng. With property, one appeared at their Virtual Universe home.

Having property also came with many other functions.

In the living room of the residential house.

“Beep!”

A screen appeared on the living room wall, displaying a call request.

“Hmph, now they know to beg me?” The captain sneered at the screen, then said, “Connect.”

The screen flickered slightly.

Then, on the large screen, eight standing figures appeared. Three of these eight had slightly pointed ears and red glowing eyes, just like the captain. The other five had more distinctive appearances, clearly not of the same race as the captain.

“Oh, eight direct disciples are seeing me at the same time?” The captain raised an eyebrow.

“Bu Luo.”

The leader of the eight, a similarly pointed-eared, exceptionally handsome young man, said coldly, “You should have arrived at that life planet by now.”

“So what if I’ve arrived?” The captain sneered. “Pula, I’ve already stated the conditions! I’m telling you… my contribution to the discovery of this planet is the greatest, whether it’s discovering the wormhole or arriving at this planet, it’s mainly my credit, and I can even decide who gets this planet!”

“Hmph.”

Among the eight standing in a row, a burly, dark-skinned man snorted.

“Hmph what, hmph what?” The captain glared. “Kromi, even if you’ve reached the Ninth Tier of Star-level and gained the status of a ‘direct disciple,’ you’re still an outsider! I am the direct descendant of the Nuolanshan Family!”

Within the Nuolanshan Family.

Many outsiders joined the Nuolanshan Family, but only those who reached the ‘Ninth Tier of Star-level’ were qualified to become ‘direct disciples’ and hold a special status.

“Bu Luo, we’re not here to negotiate with you, but to inform you. The Old Patriarch, after learning about the news from the void region, personally issued an order! For that planet once ruled by a peerless expert, the Old Patriarch is very interested, so this planet must belong to the family. There must be no accidents, otherwise…”

“Otherwise my ass!”

The captain glared. “Eight direct disciples, and supposedly over thirty Nuolanshan Guards? Wow, that’s over forty Ninth Tier Star-level experts combined, what a terrifying force, killing me is like crushing an ant! I, Bu Luo… am so scared!” The captain feigned trembling fear, then suddenly glared and roared, “Get lost!”

“If you have the guts, come kill me! Come on, come on!” the captain shouted.

The faces of the eight direct disciples turned ashen.

“Hmph. A bunch of trash.” The captain sneered. “You all need to understand the situation. I’m not the down-and-out kid I used to be. Now, the family needs something from me! So, show some respect. Alright, I’m tired of looking at you. We’ll discuss this planet again tomorrow.”

*Slap!*

The communication ended.
