Whoosh ~
Xia Fei was extremely fast, and Horsetail Whisk was being dragged behind him with one hand.
His lightning-fast movement speed made Floating Dust exclaim in delight. Coupled with Xia Fei's agility, Floating Dust felt like he was riding the most thrilling roller coaster. The scenery before him flashed by so quickly that it was too much for his eyes to take in.
The territory of the Renegades was a large area of space. Though Xia Fei and Dustfall had landed near the core region, there was still quite a distance to travel. Xia Fei's goal was very clear, and that was to get to the very center of the Renegades' territory.
From the radar, it appeared to be a dark galaxy that did not even have its own sun.
It was hard to imagine what would happen if the Earth lost its sunlight. The Renegade Ghosts had built their nest in such an extremely cold, dark, and strange place. It was as if these evil creatures did not belong to the light from the very beginning.
The temperature began to drop. This galaxy was made up of nine planets, and in the center was a dead star. From the radar analysis, it was not difficult to conclude that the star had been dead for tens of thousands of years. The closer one got to it, the colder the temperature would become.
Fortunately, both Xia Fei and Fuchen had decent armor. Fuchen's warship was inside her undergarments, and it seemed to be a kind of soft armor. Its grade was about the same as Xia Fei's Heaven's Mirrorless Cry, and it was also a rare treasure. It had no problem defending against cold.
The cold was unable to penetrate his body, but the darkness was endless. This was the time for Xia Fei's ocular technique to come into play. Avoiding the layers of sentries and choosing the most covert route all depended on Xia Fei's observation and brain analysis.
"Are these the Golden Pupils?" Fuchen asked after seeing a group of Renegade Ghosts.
"No. They're just small fries. "
"What about these?"
"Not really."
Xia Fei was speechless. Fuchen was overly interested in the golden eyes. He wished that all the Rebel Ghosts would have a pair of golden eyes. That way, he would be able to gouge out their eyes without any fear.
"Our goal this time is to scout. Even if we discover a large number of Golden Pupils, there's no way we'll make a move," Xia Fei answered honestly.
Fuchen appeared to be a little dispirited. She pouted her lips and didn't answer.
Along the way, they arrived at the dead star. This star was incomparably huge, almost as big as hundreds of suns. Even if there were billions of Renegade Ghosts living here, they would not be able to survive. Xia Fei was not surprised.
There were volcanic craters everywhere. Those Renegade Ghosts had opened up caves in the mountains and lived in them.
Xia Fei was in no hurry to barge in. Instead, he began searching along the surface of the star.
"There's someone. Let's get out of the way. " Xia Fei pushed Horsetail Dust behind a boulder and used Breath Control to conceal both his and Horsetail Dust's presence.
"Still no women? Could it be that the Renegade Ghost Clan really relied on cell fission to reproduce? Or … "
Before Xia Fei could finish, the leader of the Renegade Ghost soldiers suddenly looked at where Xia Fei and Fuchen were hiding. He had a pair of golden eyes, and in the darkness, his eyes were like those of a cheetah, gleaming with a cold light.
"Golden Pupils! Look! " Xia Fei whispered to Floating Dust. His hand was patting Floating Dust's shoulder, but when his hand landed, he realized that Floating Dust was no longer there!
* Whoosh! *
Puchi ~ Puchi ~
It turned out that Floating Dust had already rushed out the moment he discovered the golden pupils! When Xia Fei discovered him. Fuchen had already used the short blade in his hand to cut off his opponent's eye!
"What nonsense!"
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and exerted force with his feet, charging out as well. There were a total of eleven soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, they were turned into ashes by the Devil Blade Nirvana, leaving no trace behind.
"What are you doing? We said that we were here to scout. Why did you suddenly attack? "Xia Fei anxiously questioned Fuchen.
Fuchen casually weighed the pair of golden eyes in his hand and laughed. "I couldn't hold it in for a moment. This pair of eyes is an excellent raw material. It's extremely precious to us Clerics. If we can store more, we'll be rich! "
Xia Fei sighed. It seemed that Fuchen really liked these golden eyes when he spoke. When he spoke, both eyes were shining.
"Don't be so reckless next time. Now isn't the time to start a massacre. It's more important to complete our mission first. "Xia Fei knitted his brows and said.
Fuchen nodded repeatedly. Xia Fei was just about to give Fuchen a few more instructions when the old man suddenly froze. He pointed at the waist of a dormant volcano and said, "Gold! It's the golden pupils again! "
One pair, two pairs, three pairs. In just a few seconds, three pairs of golden eyes appeared on the waist of the volcano!
"So many?! Could this be the base camp of the Renegade Ghost Clan's golden pupils? "Xia Fei was surprised.
Fuchen smiled and said, "Let me tell you something. Do you want to know why Soul Eyes are so precious?"
Xia Fei shook his head. Technically speaking, Soul Eyes were a kind of mobile Soul Array. They were powerful, but not too extreme. However, the people were more surprised by Soul Eyes than their functions.
"First of all, it's not easy to obtain the raw materials needed to create Soul Eyes. Furthermore, Soul Eyes have an even more powerful use, and that is to combine multiple Soul Eyes to form a powerful mobile offensive Soul Array! In short, the value of Soul Eyes isn't as simple as it looks. Do you understand? The golden pupils have extraordinary value! "Fuchen said solemnly.
Xia Fei was not surprised. It wasn't hard to guess the true value of Soul Eyes from how surprised these people were.
Fuchen pointed at the cave halfway up the volcano and said, "That's likely the nest of the golden pupils. It's best if we go in and take a look. I need to know how many clansmen of the Renegade Ghost Clan have these golden eyes."
…
A few minutes later, Xia Fei and Fuchen appeared halfway up the extinct volcano, next to a dark cave.
"There's wind coming from inside, which means that these caves are connected. I wonder how far into the mountain it extends," Xia Fei said.
Fuchen and Xia Fei quickly sneaked in. Though there weren't any guards at the entrance, Xia Fei knew very well that they had really entered the tiger's den this time. After all, this was the true nest of the Renegade Ghost Clan. Their home planet.
* Whoosh ~ *
A Renegade Ghost came charging toward Xia Fei and Fuchen. Old Man Fuchen shot forward and ended the Renegade Ghost's life in an instant, not even giving it a chance to make a sound. Xia Fei followed closely behind and used his Devil Blade Extinction to suck the Renegade Ghost's soul and turn it into ashes, leaving no traces behind.
To Xia Fei's surprise, though it was a secret infiltration, Fuchen's combat strength was actually quite good. He was also very methodical and very quickly formed a tacit understanding with Xia Fei and Fuchen. Fuchen was responsible for killing, while Xia Fei was responsible for destroying the corpses.
"Let me do it," Xia Fei said in a deep voice. A fork appeared in front of them, and there were three Renegade Ghost guards at the fork with dull eyes. Due to the distance, there was a risk of being exposed to a non-speed-type Warrior like Fuchen, so Xia Fei decided to attack by himself.
Fuchen smiled and waved his hand at Xia Fei. "You're underestimating me. I don't need your help with this."
With that said, Fuchen opened his mysterious bracelet and released his exclusive Soul Bind.
* Whoosh ~ *
The Soul Bind was like a white light, quickly rushing forward. It passed through the three Renegade Ghosts, and because it was a soul, the Soul Bind did not cause any actual damage. Instead, it used its sharp claws to pull out a faint black mass from their bodies.
That was the soul of a Renegade Ghost! The Soul Bind directly grabbed the enemy's soul with its hands!
A life without a soul naturally could not survive. Right before the corpse fell, the Devil Blade Extinction drew a perfect arc and turned it into ashes.
Fuchen's exclusive Soul Bind quickly returned to Fuchen's bracelet as if he was afraid of meeting Xia Fei. Xia Fei frowned. He did not like Soul Bind. However, he had an agreement with Fuchen. As long as Fuchen was alive, Xia Fei would not have any ideas about Soul Bind, so he could only pretend that he did not see it.
"There are three forks. Which one should we go?" Fuchen whispered. Speaking of which, it was strange that there were at least three Renegade Ghosts with golden pupils in the distance. However, when Xia Fei and Fuchen actually entered, they did not discover anything, even though they were already more than ten kilometers deep.
Xia Fei pointed at the central entrance and said, "Here."
"Are you sure?" Fuchen asked.
"I'm sure. There were three guards just now, and two of them were standing in the middle, staring at this entrance. I think they're just guarding the central entrance." Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Fuchen was slightly startled, but he immediately entered. Xia Fei even noticed where the enemy was looking at before he made his move. Very few people had this kind of meticulous observation, so he believed that he could not be wrong.
"Heavens! This place is practically a treasure trove! "Fuchen exclaimed in Xia Fei's ear after walking for a short distance.
The path ahead suddenly opened up, and there were dozens of Renegade Ghosts lying on the ground. There were stone statues and fountains around them, and there was even some strange music playing, which sounded extremely ear-piercing.
Most importantly, these Renegade Ghosts all had golden eyes! All of them had golden pupils!
"Looks like the color of their eyes determines the intelligence of the Renegade Ghosts. These Renegade Ghosts with golden eyes aren't as stupid as their low-level brethren. They know how to enjoy life and live in a graceful environment. Furthermore, they don't seem violent when they're not moving," Xia Fei said.
Most Renegade Ghosts had pitch-black eyes, which were similar to wild beasts. Eating, drinking, and fighting were the only things that low-level Renegade Ghosts knew, and these Renegade Ghosts with golden eyes were clearly of a higher level than them.
"There's still no females. Even the higher-level Golden Eyes are the same. I really have no idea how this evil race multiplied and managed to create such a huge race in the universe." Xia Fei shook his head and muttered to himself. For some reason, Xia Fei felt a little uneasy. The Renegade Ghosts were very different from humans, and they were different from all intelligent lifeforms.
Fuchen smiled and said mysteriously, "I might have some guesses, but now's not the time to make a conclusion. Let's go a little deeper and perhaps we'll be able to find some clues.
"Right now, we have two choices. If we continue forward, we'll have to go past these Golden Eyes, or we can turn back and choose a path with fewer people."
Xia Fei thought about it and lightly waved the Cursed Blade Extinction in his hand. "Kill our way in and take these eyes."
