Chapter 71: Crazy Harvest

Around the dark‑red ancient star, wave after wave of red mist tides kept spouting out.

Occasionally, some scattered items are also spewed out with the surging tide.

Snort!

A red streak of light shot out, instantly disappearing into a massive plant world.

People watching from afar suddenly grew restless.

Damn, which time is this? These folks are unbelievably lucky!

The Soul River tide had been going on for only half a day, and they had already seen at least four or five treasures snatched by the plant life's master.

The most infuriating part is that the person didn't even act; the treasures that emerged with the tide seemed to recognize a master and rushed into the huge vine world on their own.

The onlookers' eyes reddened with envy, and some naturally harbored ulterior motives.

A short distance away, aboard a silvery‑white small warship, someone chuckled and issued a command.

Hmph, you need a destiny to use the treasure you snatch!

Keep an eye on them; alert me the moment they move!

Ha ha, another Blood Soul Crystal in hand!

Zhou Yang snatched the flying red crystal, his face alight with joy.

In just half a day, they had already harvested four treasures.

They were two fist‑sized Blood Soul Crystals, a broken Scale bearing a scarred secret rune, and a metal fragment the size of a fingertip.

Need not mention the Blood Soul Crystal; it's essentially an upgraded Blood Soul Sand, its effect hundreds of times stronger.

The shattered Scale, etched with a mysterious rune, exuded an inexplicable divine aura.

Just a brief observation gave one a faint sense of sudden insight.

Especially Luo Feng, who, upon touching the broken Scale, felt his mind thunderously shaken and fell into a brief epiphany.

According to Babata's analysis, the fingertip‑sized metal fragment is a piece of natural F‑grade Metal Void Stone.

Even that alone is worth as much as everything they previously gathered in the Soul River Secret Realm.

The frequency of treasures appearing in our direction is indeed a bit too high.

Zhou Yang mused, his gaze inevitably drifting toward Luo Feng.

His body was like a bottomless Black Hole, emitting a terrifying pull.

At the hatch, endless dark‑red mist swirled in like a tornado, only to be instantly devoured by him.

Perhaps it's this invisible attraction that draws the treasures spewed from the ancient stars toward this direction on their own.

If that's the case, we'll make a huge profit.

Zhou Yang's face showed anticipation.

And the forthcoming harvest would far exceed his expectations!

Another Blood Soul Crystal!

Wow, the leaf of True Sun Grass, Zhou Yang, this can be fed to Mo Yun Teng, greatly accelerating its growth!

This fragment looks like a piece of an Immortal Level weapon! Too bad the rune is severely damaged.

As the dark‑red mist tide kept erupting, one ancient‑star treasure after another was swallowed by the massive vine world, while Babata's excited voice rang in their minds.

It's happening, Zhou Yang, your haul this time far surpasses the first inheritance your teacher left you!

The Soul River Secret Realm really is a great spot; why didn't we hear of it before?

Listening to Babata's constant shouting, Zhou Yang felt joy in his heart.

At this moment he was absolutely certain that their abundant harvest was inseparable from Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast Doppelganger!

Because in their direction, only about thirty to forty treasures fly out of Taiyu Star each day.

And nearly half of those end up in their hands!

Such a high harvest ratio can't be explained by luck alone.

But because of that, tens of thousands of Universe adventurers around Taiyu Star have fully set their sights on them.

In over twenty days, Zhou Yang's side has harvested at least three hundred ancient‑star treasures.

Those are all rare treasures on the level of Blood Soul Crystals!

According to Babata's data, a single Blood Soul Crystal can fetch a sky‑high price of hundreds of billions of Qianwu coins.

Now they hold over three hundred items not inferior to Blood Soul Crystals; that value is truly enticing!

Lock onto that group's ship; make sure they don't slip away!

Contact the Longka family and tell them I'm willing to cooperate.

Hmph, a bunch of ignorant people; so many treasures, saves me the trouble of collecting them one by one.

Groups of envious adventurer squads have begun covertly contacting each other, and many small and large ships have quietly approached the massive plant life.

But Zhou Yang isn't a fool; he had already speculated on possible scenarios.

We can't stay any longer; when the next tide erupts and others scramble for treasures, we'll seize the chance to retreat!

He decisively issued the order,

Babata, after this just accelerate to Sub‑light Speed at full power; I'll have Mo Yun Teng cooperate with you!

Understood!

Babata replied.

We're withdrawing now? What a pity, the Soul River tide still has seven days left.

Lei Shen still wore a look of lingering desire.

Seven days—at ten treasures a day, that's at least seventy items not inferior to Blood Soul Crystals; just thinking of it aches.

We have to pull out; our haul is huge, and now everyone around us has their eyes on us—staying any longer won't get us out safely!

The black‑robed, cold‑stern Hong nodded in agreement with Zhou Yang's view.

Lately, adventurer ships, whether intentionally or not, keep circling the vine world formed by Mo Yun Teng, and even a fool could guess they have ill intentions.

The Stellar Level adventurers gathered around number at least several hundred thousand; even if only one‑tenth of them harbor crooked thoughts, that's still at least tens of thousands.

Even the Universe Level Mo Yun Teng, no matter how powerful, cannot instantly slay so many Stellar Level Warriors.

Moreover, other teams also have Universe Level combat power present.

And once entangled, breaking free becomes difficult.

"Alright, get ready; when the next massive tidal surge erupts, we'll retreat immediately!"

The crew of the silver‑gray ship had all prepared for evacuation, and even Luo Feng, who had been silently contemplating the secret pattern on the broken Scale, was called awake.

Around the Taiyu Star, dark‑red mist surged continuously like a tide.

However, the intensity of this misty tide also keeps changing.

As if constantly charging, at intervals the massive red ancient star erupts a relatively large tidal energy burst around it.

If a normal tide is likened to the rise and fall of the sea in calm wind, this massive tide equals a towering wave under a twelve‑level gale.

Usually, only during a massive tidal eruption do scattered treasures get "spat out" from the ancient star.

"Hoo hoo hoo~"

Wave after wave of red mist surged outward, spreading in all directions.

Yet at one moment, the regular surge of the tide seemed to "stutter" slightly, and after the previous wave, a brief empty interval appeared.

"Prepare, the massive tide is coming!"

The surrounding adventurers had already distilled experience; upon seeing this, they immediately prepared with excitement!

As expected, in the next second, a power surge many times stronger than usual erupted instantly!

"Wah‑la‑la~~~"

A faint sound of surging waves rang in the vast Xingkong, and the thick, almost liquid red mist burst out instantly from the massive Taiyu Star!

At the same time, within that wave‑like mist tide, faint streams of light could be seen shooting outward.

"Damn, so many treasures appeared this time!"

"Haha, got it, I also snagged a treasure!"

"Get out of the way, this is mine."

"."

In the Xingkong around the outer Taiyu Star, adventurer teams, vying for the appearing treasures, instantly entered a chaotic melee.

Meanwhile, that vine world that had shrouded a vast Xingkong instantly contracted and vanished.

Immediately after, a silver‑gray ship accelerated in an instant, racing away from the Taiyu Star.

The timing Zhou Yang and his group chose was very suitable, yet countless onlookers around were already watching their movements.

At the very first moment of their action, a large number of people reacted instantly.

"Bad, that group is trying to flee! Quick, block them!"

"Report quickly to Lord Longka!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Ship after ship launched swiftly, directly pursuing the silver‑gray ship, and a large number of ships surrounded them ahead.

"Tch!"

A ship opened fire directly at them!

"Buzz!"

A transparent energy shield activated instantly, blocking the incoming laser attack.

"Do not slow down, charge straight through!"

Zhou Yang barked low, and massive violet‑red vines surged out through the opened hatch, immediately ensnaring a nearby disc‑shaped ship.

"Get lost!"

The Mo Yun Teng writhed wildly, hurling that ship forward to smash!

"Quick, dodge!"

The two small ships intercepted ahead dodged quickly, yet were still grazed by the frenzied vines, instantly tilting and careening away.

"Do not get too close to them; use laser weapons to attack, draining their ship shields' energy!"

The intercepting ships tacitly changed tactics.

They no longer approached, but kept a distance, beginning to fire their ships' laser weapons at the silver‑gray ship.

"Babata, fly toward the crowded area!"

Zhou Yang barked low!

"Understood!"

At the control console, Babata, looking like a child in a black robe, had blood‑red eyes and a manic grin.

"Haha, it's been ages since I've felt such excitement; little devils, hold on tight, Lord Babata is about to speed the ship!"

"Buzz!"

The silver‑gray ship swiftly turned in the air, charging straight toward the densest cluster of ships.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The following energy attacks struck the dense fleet, instantly causing massive chaos.

"Damn, who's attacking us? I don't want to live!"

"Scram, don't come over!"

Not all adventurers around the Taiyu Star joined the hunt on Zhou Yang; some teams honestly "fishing for treasure" in the Soul River tide were caught up, instantly irritated, and the hot‑tempered ones immediately struck back.

"Babata, don't worry about damage to the ship, accelerate at full power toward the designated location!"
