Chapter 2172: Star Shine Eternal 9

「Save me? Star-Destroying? 」

Hovering in midair, looking at the message sent by the Thunder Lizard Captain, Liuguang couldn't help but frown, feeling that the other side must have gone crazy.

「What the hell are these lizards up to? 」

「Do they mean there's a Star-Destroyer hunting him? Or that among the humans they captured, a Star-Destroyer appeared? ？」

Seeing Lei Meng not replying to the message, Liuguang felt a surge of irritation and unease.

For a moment, he didn't know whether Lei Meng had really run into trouble or if the inter-squad communication had simply run out.

These damned lizards always speak evasively; even when they first approached him for cooperation, they only gave a vague explanation. If it weren't for Lei Meng having done a lot for them, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

And now..

He even felt that these lizards had their brains fried by electricity?

He could understand a distress call; this lizard's strength is ordinary but its ambition huge. Maybe it was discovered by a few other squads, sparking a battle.

But the latter?

Just seeing the three words 'Star-Destroying Level' made Liuguang snort contemptuously; it was downright hilarious.

"Check the Thunder Lizard civilization's rankings right now, especially Lei Meng's squad. See if their rankings have fluctuated significantly."

Suppressing his doubts, Liuguang simply ordered his subordinates, the Heavenly Walkers, to verify the information.

Soon, within less than two seconds, the three Heavenly Walkers who had finished comparing the information all looked at him with strange expressions.

"Lord Liuguang, it seems those lizards really have run into trouble."

"Around fifteen seconds ago, to be precise, between 17 and 23 seconds ago, many names disappeared from Lei Meng's squad. Although they might have actively hidden it, their overall rating indeed dropped a bit.."

"According to the corresponding ratio... roughly how many died? Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of a total wipeout."

The exact number cannot be determined.

Although theoretically one could estimate how many died from the gap in rankings before and after, the Thunder Lizard civilization is relatively large, and the number of teams participating in this competition is not small.

Maybe some subordinate squads lost members while another squad killed others; the points offset each other, making it hard to judge the true situation.

"Really dead? Hiding the information seems unlikely; I know that lizard well—he'd love to draw outside attention."

"Also, that doesn't make sense—in just a few seconds, who could force this guy into such a situation? Unless..."

Liuguang frowned tightly; the information Lei Meng gave when seeking cooperation was too scarce. That lizard deliberately acted mysterious, not only failing to tell him which civilization the special God Ascendant belonged to, but also not revealing who the remaining four squads were.

Otherwise, he could completely infer the situation from the rankings of the other few squads.

"Lord Liuguang, what should we do now?"

The situation suddenly changed in microseconds, and the few Heavenly Walkers following Liuguang also sensed something was off.

To go or not to go? If they don't go, they'll have made the trip for nothing. If they do go, there seems to be a risk?

Liuguang hesitated, and only after a while did he make a decision.

Only seeing his eyes flash, he spoke his judgment:

"Let's still go; I've checked, and we're not far from the coordinates he gave."

"The current situation boils down to two possibilities. One is that the lizard truly encountered an unbeatable Fifth Stage squad, or a monster that spawned on the battlefield, and he is really being hunted."

"Two is that the lizard is deceiving me, they've set a trap to lure us over."

As he spoke, a strange hue flashed in Liuguang's eyes, as if he didn't care about the second possibility.

"The probability of the second is very low; that lizard shouldn't have the guts to attack us. But if the first is true, it actually corroborates his earlier words. Two civilizations' relics? A highly valuable special God Ascendant? Perhaps precisely because of these two points, other squads have targeted him. Several squads joining forces to besiege him, plus an external enemy—his call for help is perfectly normal."

This is the most logical judgment.

As a member of the Heavenly Walker Alliance, Liuguang doesn't think Lei Meng would dare to scheme against him. Moreover, he is extremely confident in his own strength; not counting the alliance ranking, his personal ranking is within the top three thousand!

Lei Meng is only around eight thousandth rank—nowhere near his level. Even if that lizard encountered a strong enemy, he wouldn't fear anything!

"Lord Liuguang, we think the same."

"In my view, the lizard's claim of being hunted by a Star-Destroying Level entity is absolutely impossible. Not to mention, this Star Radiance Battle limits strength; if a true War Star like the Heavenly God Warrior appeared, such a top-tier existence wouldn't go hunting him—would that lizard even be worthy?"

"Surely it's impossible that the people he captured are subordinates of that level, right?"

The speaking Heavenly Walker of the Fifth Stage snorted and bluntly stated his opinion:

"Therefore, I think the lizard is exaggerating. After all, that electric lizard's strength is just so-so; if it weren't for his special rules, he wouldn't even qualify to cooperate with us."

The gap in strength between War Stars is enormous; take the current top-ranked Flaming Spear as an example. Its battle record has already achieved solo slaughter of nearly a hundred Fifth Stage fighters!

A monster of such strength facing an ordinary War Star is practically no different from a Star-Destroying Level! It's a complete one-sided massacre!

Liuguang nodded and no longer dwelled on anything.

Moreover, if he remembers correctly, Lei Meng mentioned at the outset that they had found traces of the Creator.

Special God Ascendant, Creator, civilization relics, unknown pursuers..

Although he also sensed that these things appearing together seemed off, regardless of which point, it's worth him making the trip. Even if there truly is some hidden top-tier War Star, as a Heavenly Walker he has absolute confidence to retreat unscathed!

"Let's go! I want to see what that lizard has actually encountered!"

As his words fell, this 17-person Heavenly Walker squad instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting at extreme speed toward the distant, dim Wu Yun.
