Global Era of Star trekking

Looking at the strange object attributes that appeared before him, Song Chi reached out to touch the piece of Qingming stone, and soon after, a bright azure light flared up inside the Cang Qiong.

When the light had dissipated, Song Chi was holding a dark azure spear over two meters in length.

It was the [Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear]!

This marvel could not be transformed into a ship-mounted component; it could only be turned into a personal weapon for individual use. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Moreover, all Starry Sea Oddities inherently possess the ability to magically adjust their size and volume. They change to a suitable length and size based on the holder’s energy input and rank level.

Therefore, it had first appeared as ten meters in length in the hands of that humanoid alien race, then transformed into one thousand two hundred meters, and now that it was in Song Chi’s hands, it was merely two meters long.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As the azure light flashed, Song Chi waved the Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear to get a good feel for it.

After he ceased his movements, a smile appeared on his face.

Compared to his previous disappointment, he seemed much more content.

Although the Qingming Stone couldn’t be converted into a ship-mounted component, the [Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear] it had become was extraordinarily formidable. Whether for his own future use, or to be handed to a puppet, an enslaved creature, or possibly to be used when Cang Qiong could undergo mecha transformation, it was all quite advantageous.

Of course, the chances of him using it himself were extremely slim. A melee weapon such as this—a spear for close combat? That was a joke; he certainly wouldn’t engage in such dangerous antics.

However, at present, neither the puppets under his command nor the enslaved creatures were suitable to wield this spear.

The Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines excelled in ambush and assassination; having them fight with a spear would be utterly inappropriate.

The Fire Peony Soldier Figurines were too weak. If the Second Rank creatures were equipped with this Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear, who knows if they could ever make it back.

As for enslaved creatures, there was currently only Zhao Lei, whom he used as a tool to control the Storage Bag. Combat was not within its responsibilities.

...

Without dwelling further on the matter, Song Chi stored the [Qingming Sky-Cracking Spear] back into the Ancestral Torch, and then continued piloting the Cang Qiong towards the side.

Over this period, the semi-autonomous shipboard intelligence had already re-marked many suitable resources for mining. With several hours left until the Cang Qiong’s return, there was time for one more round of resource collection.

Soon enough, the Cang Qiong busied itself once again, shuttling through the nearby regions.

As for the various resources mined, he would place them in the shop dedicated to selling ores at the Ruins Market; the prices he marked up were at least ten times that of the market price within the Torch Human Civilization Territory.

Throughout this resource collection journey, Song Chi could see other regions’ biological energy fluctuations constantly updating on the [Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] radar map.

There was no shortage of these biological energy fluctuations, similar to the group he had previously slaughtered, mostly at the Second Rank and Third Rank Level, with hardly any at the First Rank. If his guess was correct, they would likely be of the same humanoid alien race.

Although slightly tempted by this observation, Song Chi didn’t have much of an option, as there wasn’t enough time left for another excursion before the return trip; the Purple River Translocation Device could not complete another cooldown cycle beforehand.

Additionally, he harbored considerable curiosity; these humanoid aliens were not few in number, and it was unclear where exactly they came from.

From the previous battles, it was clear that these humanoid aliens lacked flight abilities.

Even those of the Third Rank only managed mediocre airborne maneuvering by releasing energy from within their bodies. Compared to moving by leaping through the asteroid belt with the help of asteroids, their speed was even slightly inferior.

Thus, Song Chi deduced that they lacked the ability to fly; and if they couldn’t fly, that meant they were not native stellar space creatures, and very likely did not originate in this asteroid belt.

With this hypothesis in mind, Song Chi felt somewhat pleased. Regardless of where they came from, it suggested the presence of a Life-Form Star Sea Floating Land nearby, and a Floating Land signified wealth.

Time flew by, and soon the moment to return had arrived.

In a relatively spacious kilometer-wide vacuum area within the asteroid belt, the Cang Qiong waited quietly for the return signal.

At the same time, Song Chi made a trip to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and deactivated the Spatial Anchor Point previously set in the Yellow Sand Floating Continent; then, he established the new anchor point coordinates in the center of this spacious area.

The diameter of this asteroid belt was astonishingly large; even from Cang Qiong’s current position, the [Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar] still couldn’t completely map out its boundary.

Knowing that the [Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magic Energy Detection Radar]’s detection radius reached 15 light-years, what did that imply?

It meant that the length of the asteroid belt currently displayed on the radar had already exceeded 17 light-years, and yet, the edge of the belt had still not been detected. This demonstrated just how extensive the belt’s diameter truly was.

Such a vast asteroid belt, coupled with the likely existence of a Life Floating Land, signified the immense value of this Star Domain. Naturally, Song Chi wouldn’t miss out on it.

If no other valuable Star Domains were discovered in the subsequent exploration of the Alien Star Domain, Song Chi would likely make several trips back to this asteroid belt. With its colossal size, the resources it contained were sufficient for him to mine for a considerable time.
