Chapter 370

Qi Wuzhen said, "Why think so much? Let's go there first. I'm only a little interested in planets now. I've never been to one in my life, so it's good to go and have some fun. This world is very interesting, but it's too empty. According to what you guys said … those stars are planets?"

Guo Shier laughed. "Those are fixed stars. You can't go up there … Oh, right, maybe Sister Zhen can go up there. The temperature of fixed stars is extremely high. Sister Zhen is a master of fire, so she might be able to get something out of them."

Li Ran said, "Fixed stars … Shier, that's not something an ordinary person can get close to, but …" He glanced at Qi Wuzhen and said in an uncertain tone, "She might be able to get close. Hmm, if she can really make use of it, I think … her strength will increase by another level."

Qi Wuzhen's eyes lit up as she listened. She was very interested in improving her strength. Back then, she had almost died in the underground lava in pursuit of improving her strength. Nothing could stop her from pursuing strength. She said seriously, "Yes, if there's a chance, I must go up to the fixed stars to take a look."

The officers of the fleet were all dumbfounded. Go up to the fixed stars? She still wanted to take a look? What did she think a fixed star was? Even starships did not dare to get too close to a fixed star, let alone humans. Not only could they not withstand the huge heat of the fixed stars, but they also could not withstand the impact of the various particles exploding from the fixed stars. This woman actually wanted to go up to the fixed stars to take a look. Wasn't that courting death?

Li Ran said, "Alright, let's go to the Rune Star."

The Rune Star was an administrative planet at the border of the United Spirit Kingdom. It was in charge of this star sector. There were about 11 solar systems, 17 habitable planets, nine mineral planets, four starship bases, one defense outpost, and four space fleets. The largest fleet was the one that Li Ran's group had encountered. One-third of it had been destroyed by the seven of them, including the flagship, which was a heavy-duty starship.

The Rune Star was a habitable planet. Oceans took up 60% of it, land 30%, and 10% were islands. The entire continent was mostly flat with few mountains. There were only a few low hills suitable for farming. Originally an agricultural base, it had later become an administrative planet. After extensive remodeling, it had become one of the most Mei Li planets in this star sector.

With the speed of the rescue starship, it would take about half a month to reach the Rune Star. This was the normal flight time. If they forcefully increased their speed and flew at high speed, they would only need seven days to reach their destination. Therefore, Li Ran ordered them to fly at high speed.

The captain was so scared that he almost had a heart attack. He stammered as he explained, "If it's flying at a super high speed, it won't be able to make any effective evasive maneuvers once danger is detected. Also, if it's overloaded, the lifespan of the starship will be greatly reduced … I …" Before he finished, he realized that everyone was looking at him as if he were an idiot. Sure, he heard a cold laugh.

Guo Shi 'er sneered, "Ha, the lifespan of a starship will be greatly reduced? "Chen," Guo Shier said. As for not being able to avoid it, that's a technical problem. If the starship is in danger, do you think it will endanger us? Idiot, listen to my orders and fly at the fastest speed possible! "

The captain had a bitter expression on his face. He could only carry out the order. Who knew what terrifying things these powerful fellows would do? The starship started up and flew at high speed toward the Rune Star.

The starship activated and flew toward the Runic Planet at high speed. Li Ran and the others did not care at all. After boarding the ship, besides Guo Shier using the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to send out a Soul Shockwave, no one else paid attention to the people on the ship.

This communications officer was quite lucky. The secret cabin he was hiding in had an excellent isolation layer. Thus, his soul had only been shaken slightly. The damage was not deep, and he woke up after a brief moment of unconsciousness. Li Ran and the others did not care at all. After boarding the ship, besides Guo Shier using the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to send out a Soul Shockwave, no one else paid attention to the people on the ship. Almost everything that happened in the command cabin was monitored by him.

The communications officer was quite lucky. The secret cabin he was hiding in had an excellent isolation layer. Thus, his soul was only slightly shaken. The damage was not deep, and he woke up after a brief moment of unconsciousness. After sending out the report, the communications officer heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that his luck was good this time. He might be able to survive and even get a reward.

The rescue starship flew at high speed. After flying for only four days, it was ambushed by several starships when it was less than halfway to Rune Star. With the speed of the rescue starship, there was no way for it to dodge such a long-range attack.

Li Ran and the others had long since sensed the danger. They immediately teleported toward the ambushing starships. The rescue starship that had been attacked shattered into countless tiny pieces and turned into space trash. This included the communications officer who had thought that he had done a meritorious deed.

These were four medium-sized starships that had destroyed the rescue starship in one attack. Two waves of attacks covered the entire starry sky and did not stop until the rescue starship was smashed into pieces. At this time, Li Ran and the others had already approached the four attacking starships.

Li Ran said, "Leave one starship behind. Kill the rest!"

Wang Dayang was the first to rush out. He said, "The one on the left is mine!"

Qi Wuzhen said, "That black one seems to be the command ship. Shier, take Sershilin and occupy it. Leave the one on the right to me!"

Ku Mu said, "The starship below belongs to me!" He and Mo Nier rushed over together.

Li Ran smiled. "Alright, we'll divide them up … I'll go occupy the command ship with Shier!" He followed Guo Shier and teleported away.

Very soon, the four attacking starships began to flee. However, their movements were too slow. With the speed of the seven of them, as long as they got close, the starships would become mere decorations. In just a few minutes, the three starships were completely destroyed. One of them burst into flames, burning from the inside out. The other was chopped into seven or eight pieces. Countless people in all kinds of armor fled, and a large number of escape pods shot out of the starship.

Li Ran, Guo Shier, and Sershilin occupied one of the starships. Guo Shier used the Soul Suppressing Cauldron again. This time, he used a little more power, and everyone in the starship was hit. Without any special methods, they would be unconscious until they died.

Very soon, they found the captain and the commander of the small fleet. Then, they woke up the staff members in charge of the starship and forced the captain to command the starship to continue advancing toward the Runic Star. Moreover, it was also at overload speed, madly rushing toward the Runic Star.

The attacking starships were much faster than the rescue starships. It was estimated that in less than two days, they would be able to enter the defensive zone of the Runic Star.

Qi Wuzhen said, "So someone in the rescue starship reported our whereabouts. This is Shier's responsibility."

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Who knew there would be such a stupid guy? Isn't he courting death? He single-handedly harmed everyone on the rescue starship. He really brought this upon himself. Sigh, I purposely went easy on him. There's no helping it. If someone wants to die, no one can save them even if they wanted to."

Li Ran said, "Alright, officers present, I hope you're all smart and don't make careless reports. Otherwise … you'll be the ones to die."

No one dared to make any more reports. In fact, there were still some fish that had escaped the net. The interior of such a large starship was like a maze, and there were many places to hide. Even though Guo Shier had used the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to send out soul shockwaves, there were still some strange blind spots. If there were people hiding in those places, they would very quickly wake up. However, the shockwaves he had sent out this time were stronger. Ninety-nine percent of the people had fainted, and only a few dozen people had escaped.

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter even if they reported it to us. Hehe, as long as a starship comes, we can switch to a different one. I don't believe that if they don't use starships to attack, what else can they use to attack?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. At this point, they had already come to terms with it. It wasn't a big deal. In the Talisman World, they had also dealt with some major forces. Now that they were in the Great World, they were even more open.

The officers looked at these people in fear, feeling extremely uneasy. These people were dressed very strangely. Each of their clothes had their own characteristics, which they had never seen before. There were also flashing runes on the clothes, and the colors seemed to not be from the mortal world. These people also spoke very strangely. Their language was constantly changing. Sometimes, they could understand a few words, and sometimes, they couldn't understand anything.

This was a characteristic of Guo Shier and the others. Because they knew many languages, they would constantly change their language when they spoke. Their goal wasn't to show off how many languages they knew, but to express themselves more accurately.

For example, some languages could accurately describe a scenery or an item, but another language couldn't accurately describe it. Then, they would choose to use the former language to describe it. The result of using different languages was that they spoke a lot of different languages. People who weren't in the same circle wouldn't be able to understand them at all.

Serxilin had also adapted for a long time, and with some of Guo Shier's language inheritance, she was able to keep up with their rhythm. Otherwise, she would also be staring at them, unable to understand many of their words.

A day later, the captain reported that they were already close to the outer defenses of Rune Star.

Li Ran didn't care at all. "Just barge in!"

The captain complained incessantly in his heart. "Sir, barging in like this … we'll be considered to be entering with malicious intent. We'll be destroyed!"

Li Ran said, "My words … Don't you understand? I'll let you barge in! "

Wang Dayang stood up and laughed sinisterly. "Do you want me to teach you how to listen to orders?"

The captain knew that he couldn't refuse. If he did, he didn't know if the starship would be attacked, but he knew that he would definitely be attacked. Thus, he could only say, "Everyone, pay attention. The course remains unchanged. Increase speed!" With that said, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He turned to look at his subordinates and saw that all of them had ashen faces. He forced a laugh and said, "Pay attention to avoid all kinds of attacks … It's all up to everyone's luck!"

Guo Shier said disapprovingly, "Avoid? What's the point of avoiding? If someone attacks, just fight back. "
