Chapter 510 Bounty Hunter
Chapter 510 Bounty Hunter
"After passing through the Pillars of Eternity, we will reach the Sea of Chaos."
Inside the command room, Lu Yun stood in front of the control console, looking at the magnificent spectacle presented in the panoramic porthole, and couldn't help but sigh.
The Pillars of Eternity, composed of countless star clusters, stretch across the galaxy, filled with colorful storms, dangerous and beautiful.
Nearly a month has passed since we rescued the fleet that was attacked by the Zerg.
The Black Prison finally arrived at the Pillar of Eternity, known as the border of the empire.
"The ship's protection system has been activated and has sufficient energy."
"Power system switched to impulse engines, current speed 30U... Estimated to cross the Pillars of Eternity in three days."
A translucent energy shield was activated from the bow, covering the Black Prison. Then, relying on stable pulse thrusters, the Black Prison slowly entered the Pillar of Eternity.
Brilliant arcs of electricity struck the spacecraft's shield like raindrops.
Lu Yun withdrew his gaze from the scene outside the porthole, slightly shifted it, and fell on the right side of the holographic screen.
The information obtained from the old captain of the Black Rose Group was unfolded on it.
Someone discovered signs of powder falling at coordinates (-69, 264)
Pollen shedding is a self-protection and growth mechanism unique to the nine-flowered hanging leaf orchid.
Before it is fully mature, it looks no different from ordinary hanging leaf orchid, but just before maturity, the disguised outer stems will dissolve into powder and drift away with the wind.
At the same time, its seeds will also be included in these fallen pollen.
So if you see traces of falling pollen, you can find the nine-flowered hanging orchid nearby.
"We need a navigation device for the chaotic starry sea." Xiao Ai said.
Lu Yun nodded. The chaotic star sea had completely different astronomical weather and physical laws from the outside world.
It is an endless ocean that exists in the starry sky due to the gravity of a black hole.
Even if the stars were thrown into it, they wouldn't be able to cause any waves.
Scholars of the multiverse theory believe that the chaotic sea of stars is the boundary of the universe, and as long as one can cross the chaotic sea of stars, one can reach the next universe.
Thousands of years ago, a country launched an unmanned exploration spacecraft into the starry sea, and the spacecraft is still drifting on that ocean.
"The Chaos Star Sea! I've heard of its legend since I was a child. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes this time." Mu Doudou's eyes revealed yearning and curiosity.
She turned to look at Lu Yun. "In my memory, the Chaos Star Sea has always been controlled by the Ishtar Tribe. These creatures living in the star sea are extremely hostile to humans. Is this still the case now?"
Lu Yun thought about the information he had read when he came here and denied it, "It's much better than before."
"The Ishtar tribe has been incorporated into the Empire and enjoys autonomy in the Chaos Star Sea. Their xenophobia isn't as strong, but it still exists."
"Those little things are very irritable. If you want to spend this period of time peacefully, I think you'd better change your image." Mu Doudou reminded.
Lu Yun was well prepared for this. Without making any movement, layers of hard keratin appeared on his skin.
His facial features remained the same, but his cheeks and forehead became a hard purple-black shell, and his hair was covered and transformed into irregular sharp corners.
His body rose to nearly two meters in height, and his arms turned into the palms of an apostle. His sharp black nails could create a spark with a slight collision.
A faint breath of void gushed out from Lu Yun's body.
It was the first time that Mu Doudou saw Lu Yun transform. Although only half of his appearance was revealed, the princess was still shocked.
"Is this the Void race?"
"Some small tricks."
Lu Yun's voice became much deeper and hoarser, his eyes became narrow and his pupils shrank, and he looked down at Mu Doudou, who was only as tall as his chest.
It was just a calm look, but in Mu Doudou's eyes it looked as indifferent as if he was looking at a weed.
"What about you?"
Lu Yun asked.
Mu Doudou was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lu Yun was talking about how she would deal with her human identity.
Mudoudou patted his chest lightly, suppressing the fear and discomfort in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am an artificial human."
The words fell.
Her hair was matted into wisps of braids, and her fair skin had turned a tender pink, with veins visible.
"That's it." Mu Doudou looked at his new appearance with satisfaction.
Three days passed by in a flash.
When the crackling sound of electricity that had been filling his ear canal disappeared, Lu Yun knew that the Black Prison had left the range of the Pillar of Eternity.
A huge island appeared in the void ahead, quietly hovering in the dark starry sky.
This is the first stop that cannot be avoided when entering the chaotic star sea, Port Coit.
Lu Yun did not plan to stay here. He planned to go up and buy a navigation device and leave directly, so he did not dock the Black Prison, but chose a place to stop.
Then he and Mudoudou boarded the spaceship and entered this port floating in the universe.
Although the Chaos Star Sea has a name for chaos, it attracts a large number of people every year to try to make a fortune because of some of its expensive specialties and rare materials.
There's even a profession dedicated to this: bounty hunter.
The customer specifies the materials, pays the commission, and they go to collect them.
As the only safe gathering point before entering the chaotic star sea, big bosses who don't want to take risks, newbies who come here for the first time, or old hands who have just completed an order and are ready to take a few days off all like to gather here.
Looking for your own opportunities and goals.
"There's a shop in the harbor that specializes in selling navigation devices. Let's go check it out."
Lu Yun stopped Mu Doudou who was looking around and warned him, "Everyone here may have bad intentions, so don't run around."
"I'm not a child." Mu Doudou snorted twice.
But he still followed Lu Yun closely.
Lu Yun's tall stature and seemingly cold-blooded appearance saved him a lot of trouble. No one came to cause trouble for him, and he arrived smoothly at a shop called "Yuanou" that sold star navigation.
However, the shop of seven or eight square meters is filled with star maps, navigation devices, beacons and other items of various sizes.
"Hey, distinguished guest, what would you like to buy?"
"My shop sells everything from lost legendary treasures to sunken corporate freighters and the coordinates of deep-sea orbs. The prices are fair and I'm honest!"
The shop owner came over warmly and his eyes stayed on Muddu for two seconds.
After noticing that Lu Yun looked extremely capable just by looking at his standing posture, he immediately retracted his attitude, turned to flattery, and asked while rubbing his hands.
Lu Yun's eyes swept over the navigation devices, maps, and beacon data, landing on the little old man, who was only a meter tall. "I need a star path navigation device deep in the chaotic star sea. I want it to be extremely detailed. Do you have it?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively, "How deep is the customer talking about?"
Lu Yun calculated the distance between the coordinates and this place and said calmly, "Three light years, inward of the tidally locked zone."
"Tidal-locked zone? You..."
The boss's expression changed. He looked Lu Yun up and down, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and shook his head.
"It's too deep. The navigation star charts there are only available to professional bounty cruisers, and they are not sold to the public."
