Chapter 3035: Water Star
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
If he wanted to reach the elves, he could only take a more direct approach—following the direction sensed by Abe Akaya, transitioning bit by bit over a certain distance, slowly getting closer to the actual domain of the elves, until he finally located their true position in the universe.
But there was considerable risk in doing so.
Currently, the Shadow Clan and all major races harbored great hostility toward humans. The spawns were also extremely dissatisfied with humans. A large human fleet making continuous transitions in outer space would have a high chance of being detected by hostile races and attacked.
A large fleet encountering battle in deep space was not within Fang Heng’s premonition.
If luck turned against them and the enemy locked onto their position in advance and interfered with their spatial transmission, the losses would be even greater.
Besides, after entering the elves’ domain, Fang Heng had no intention of initiating a battle right away.
After some planning, the Flying Squirrel Clan ultimately stepped forward and lent their King-class small spaceship to Fang Heng, allowing him to travel across the star sea straight toward the elves.
The ship used spatial folding technology in the star sea, constantly warping back and forth through space, gradually approaching the world of the elves.
After all, the Flying Squirrel Clan had not offended the Shadow Clan or the spawns.
Of course, the Flying Squirrel Clan was also taking a huge risk.
But considering the generous reward offered by Fang Heng, the Flying Squirrel Clan felt confident.
Captain Kapa of the Flying Squirrel Clan scratched his head.
He just couldn’t quite understand it.
Humans could happily mine ores—why go mess with the elves?
Considering that Mr. Fang had always been profit-driven...
Could it be that there were richer mineral deposits on the elves’ side?
"Ka!"
The main control room of the ship opened.
"Mr. Fang."
When Kapa saw Fang Heng, a smile immediately bloomed on his face.
In the face of a major patron, Kapa put on his best grin, "We are already near the point you perceived as the elves’ world. If all goes well, in about 10 minutes, after our next spatial warp, we will enter the elves’ alert zone. At that time, we may encounter elves and will need to prepare cautiously."
"Mm, alright. Good work."
Fang Heng perked up slightly and looked out the alloy glass window into the star sea.
The journey had taken nearly a week, but they had finally found the location of the elves.
"Also, Mr. Fang, we just received a message from the main base, and it’s for you."
A Flying Squirrel Clan assistant respectfully walked over and handed a letter to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng quickly opened the letter and scanned through it. His brows furrowed slightly without him noticing.
It was an urgent message from the Human Federation.
The Federation fleet had detected a large number of ships gathering in external galaxies, very likely targeting their world.
At the same time, the spawns had also issued an ultimatum, demanding that the Western District Federation complete the Tier 1 construction of the Star Map control base within seven days—otherwise, they wouldn’t guarantee what might happen.
Kapa said, "Mr. Fang, our Flying Squirrel Clan’s mission system has not yet been blocked by the spawns’ mainframe. We just checked and found that the spawns have released a mission targeting humans. The Shadow Clan has already led various allied races to accept the mission and is gathering to strike against the human world."
The Shadow Clan again!
What a troublesome group!
Fang Heng felt annoyed and asked, "How long would it take us to get back?"
"The ship has a lock on the human world’s coordinates. If we transition directly, it will take twelve hours."
"Let’s continue. There’s still time. Let’s first check out the elves."
Fang Heng thought for a moment and had someone send a reply back to the base, telling the fleet not to worry—he would find a way to return within seven days.
"Understood."
A few minutes later, as the spatial folding transition began again, golden light blossomed ahead of the ship.
"Bzzzz...!"
Moments later, with the transition complete, the light ahead dispersed completely, revealing a new starfield.
The world of the elves?
Fang Heng looked out the alloy glass from the main control room, observing the external scene.
After a spatial warp, they had entered a new starfield.
"Abe Akaya, which planet do the elves inhabit?"
Hmm?
Not clear?
Fang Heng’s brow furrowed slightly.
According to Abe Akaya’s feedback, the elves’ world was within the domain of this starfield, but its source was being affected by some kind of shielding force, causing a deviation in Abe Akaya’s positioning.
The target pointed to a nonexistent location.
"Is that so?"𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Fang Heng murmured to himself.
As they drew closer to the life form tied to the source of the siphoned power, Abe Akaya’s perception of the enemy became even clearer.
According to Abe Akaya’s premonition, its current strength was still a notch below the enemy’s.
Slightly weaker.
However, Abe Akaya sensed that the opponent’s abilities were rapidly declining.
Meanwhile, its own strength continued to grow through the constant absorption of hell’s power.
As one fell and the other rose, even if they did nothing, in a few more years, the balance of power would reverse completely.
"Hm?"
Captain Kapa of the Flying Squirrel Clan noticed something and made a sound of surprise. He immediately signaled his subordinate ship operator to call up search information in the spawns’ system.
"Kapa, did you discover something?"
Kapa pointed out the window at a planet, "Yes, Mr. Fang. We’ve been to this starfield before. That planet is the gathering place of the Water Star Clan."
"The Water Star..."
"The Water Star Clan ranks average in strength among the spawn-allied races. They are a relatively peaceful race and rarely take part in combat-related missions issued by the spawns."
The ship operator rapidly tapped on the console. Soon, lines of information about the Water Star Clan appeared on the big screen to the right.
"We found that the Water Star Clan recently issued a special mission, offering a large sum of money to purchase a special item called the Energy Seed. They’re also recruiting scholars proficient in both natural science and ancient scripts."
Kapa observed the hints on the panel and continued, "Yes, it seems they’ve had this mission posted for quite a while."
Energy seed?
Fang Heng immediately sensed something unusual.
He remembered that it was a type of high-energy condensation object capable of storing a massive amount of natural energy, appearing in the form of a rice-sized seed.
Abe Akaya could also condense into this type of seed.
"Interesting. Seems the Water Star Clan might be connected to the elves," Fang Heng said. "Kapa, take on the related gathering mission. Let’s contact the Water Star Clan, but don’t alarm them. We’ll approach through normal means."
"Alright."
Kapa, who had feared Fang Heng might go in guns blazing and drag the Flying Squirrel Clan into trouble, sighed in relief and accepted the mission. He initiated contact with the Water Star Clan and sent a request to approach the planet.
If a conflict could be resolved through communication, that would be best.
Soon, the Water Star Clan responded and provided coordinates for the ship’s transition.
