Capital Nest, the largest city on Spider Den.
Ten thousand years ago, the place had been where the spiritual mother lodes on Spider Den were most concentrated. It was also one of the mining cities developed by the Star Ocean Imperium in the beginning.
Li Yao looked down from the window of the crystal warship in midair, only to discover that the desolate land within hundreds of square kilometers was filled with dense mining pits, which made the place look like an enormous beehive.
Countless magical equipment centers, starship maintenance centers, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures collection, refinement, and processing centers were hidden in the complicated underground tunnels. Together with the underground cities that could accommodate millions of workers and Cultivators, and the underground fortresses that were hidden in the depths of the underground cities … The underground tunnels were interconnected with each other. Even the locals who had lived here for generations did not know how enormous Capital Nest was!
Capital Nest was the center of Spider Den. Not only was Bai Xinghe the Pirate Potentate's nest here, Black Spider Tower's headquarters was established here, too.
Right now, both parties were preparing their troops and preparing for war. They were on the verge of falling out with each other.
Capital Nest was divided into two areas, the east and the west. The air was so tense that a single spark was enough to detonate the hundreds of mining pits.
The crystal warship Li Yao was on flew into the area controlled by the Temple of Immortals through an enormous tunnel that sloped downward.
Capital Nest was entirely different from Silver Wing City.
Although the Wild Tide Pirate Gang and the Split Sun Pirate Gang were engaged in small-scale battles in Silver Wing City, most people's daily activities were not affected. The black markets, restaurants, and magical equipment stores were still open. The underground arenas and the gambling dens were still crowded with space pirates.
Capital Nest, on the other hand, had turned into a solemn military fortress. Not only were most of the stores closed, few lone space pirates could be seen on the street, too. Most of them were in groups, walking at the same pace and wearing standard crystal suits. They looked like an army of space pirates.
Most of the space pirates were wearing the red and the white Crystal Suit.
The space pirates were wearing the red Crystal Suit. They all had the symbol of a raging black spider on their chest. The black spider symbol of the captain in the lead was outlined with several gold stripes.
Li Yao listened to Silver Snake's introduction. These were all warriors raised by Black Spider Tower.
The Exos who were wearing the White Crystal Suit were in a higher position than the warriors of Black Spider. Their Crystal Suits were sleeker and smoother, giving the feeling of 'water droplets'. The Crystal Suit seemed to have adopted some kind of semi-stealth rune array. Waves were entangled in the crystal suit. Half of it seemed to have melted into the air, revealing the otherworldly and otherworldly aura.
On the left side of their Crystal Suits, the word "Longevity" was engraved in an ancient style.
Those people were not space pirates but the direct armed forces of the Temple of Immortals. They were sort of the regular army of the Immortal Cultivators.
More than a year ago, the Temple of Immortals had officially surfaced and been active on Spider Den. He had also conducted large-scale recruitment among the space pirates.
However, the recruitment requirements of the 'Immortal Army' were extremely strict. Most of the space pirates could not bear the test and were eliminated.
Those who could be selected. All of them were the cream of the crop.
It was said that after joining the Immortal Army, they would be further refined and polished by the Temple of Immortals. Many of the secret arts of the military in the era of the Flying Star Coalition Government that had been lost for thousands of years could transform them completely in only a few months!
The place where Fengyu Zhong summoned Li Yao was a training camp of Black Spider Tower.
When Li Yao walked into the camp, there were already dozens of space pirates in the hall.
The moment they saw him, many of them did not hide the wariness and hostility in their eyes at all.
"All the notorious bandits on Spider Den. They're all here! "
Li Yao glanced around quickly. His heart was beating faster.
He only took one look. He discovered a lot of brutal bandits who were on the top of the wanted list of the Cultivators and were even feared in the circle of space pirates.
On his left side. The white-haired, kind-looking old man was named Master Phantom Sea. He used to be an elder of the Silver Moon Clan, one of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City.
However, he failed to run for the leader of the Silver Moon Clan. Holding a grudge, he dealt with the leader of the Silver Moon Clan with poison in secret. Eventually, his scheme was exposed. Many experts of the Silver Moon Clan were sent to capture him, but he killed one Jin Dan and sixteen Building Foundation Stage Cultivators. Then, he escaped from Heavenly Saints City and went to Spider Den.
Later, he became a great bandit in the sea of stars. He was ruthless and merciless. When he ran into the carriers of the Silver Moon Clan, he did not spare a single soul!
Beside Master Illusionary Sea was a muscular man who was more than 2.3 meters tall. His muscles had swelled to an incomparably exaggerated degree. His eyes were like burning copper bells, and his nostrils were constantly spurting out white air. It was as if a raging mad bull had been forcibly stuffed into the body of a human!
Two giant axes that were even wider than a door were crossed on the man's back. The edges of the axes were riddled with dents, indicating that they had swallowed too many unrested souls. One would feel creeped out just by glancing at them.
The muscular man was named 'Bloody Axe'. He was the king of the underground arenas on Spider Den.
The space pirates were brutal in nature. The underground arenas thousands of meters below the mines were lawless, bloody, and cruel places, too. Even the strongest fighter could barely survive ten games in the underground arenas.
'Bloody Axe ', on the other hand, was the first expert who had fought a hundred games in the arenas and retreated unharmed in the past few decades.
Although he was only in the beginning level of the Core Formation Stage, when he went on a rampage, he could slay experts in the middle level of the Core Formation Stage and even the real Jin Dan!
In the shadow behind Bloody Axe, a petite girl was hiding. Her eyes were as clear as water, and her waist was so slim that it was impossible for her to fit in with the murky environment. She seemed to be a hostage that had been captured by the space pirates.
But Li Yao knew that the girl, who seemed to be a pure high school student, was at least eighty years old. She was known as' Silver Ring Fairy ', and she was even more dangerous than Bloody Axe, who was brimming with killing intent.
Silver ring snakes were the most beautiful and the most fatal!
When she first appeared, she was merely the mistress of the boss of a pirate gang. Everybody regarded her as a pure toy. None of the space pirates thought highly of her.
But very soon, the space pirates that she was affiliated to had a war with a bigger force. After the space pirates were swallowed by the enemy, she naturally served the next boss as a trophy.
Just like that, she seemed to have been cursed. All the bosses of the pirate gangs that accepted her would suffer unexpected disasters within a year. Some of them were swallowed by other pirate gangs, some were assassinated, and some were surrounded and punished by Cultivators because their whereabouts were leaked when they were hunting in space.
All in all, as long as she stayed in a pirate gang, that pirate gang would be destroyed soon, and she would be able to receive the most precious wealth of the pirate gang without alarming anyone.
It was said that she was adept at the arts of enchantment. She had even secretly practiced a certain technique that could absorb other people's life essence and keep herself young forever.
Many space pirates who had been enchanted and deceived by her joined hands to seek revenge, but they all disappeared uncannily.
Therefore, while the space pirates addressed her as' Silver Ring Fairy 'in front of her face, a lot of them called her' Silver Ring Witch 'behind her back, too.
Li Yao's attention was mostly attracted by the four space pirates. Other than the three of them, the fourth one was a dwarf who was less than 1.3 meters tall with short limbs.
The dwarf named 'Wang Haha' had a rarely-seen profession on Spider Den.
He was a thief.
Spider Den was a nest of bandits, but there was a thief in the nest of bandits. As it happened, the thief was quite famous. Everybody knew what he did for a living, and yet he had lived for decades laughing every day.
It could only mean two things.
Firstly, his technique was very clever, so clever that even if others knew that he was a thief, they would not be able to catch him.
Secondly, he was very strong. Even if the space pirates knew that something was stolen by him, they would not dare to seek revenge from him.
Everybody on Spider Den knew that Wang Haha had stolen everything, including human heads and the talking and laughing heads that were still growing on their necks.
Li Yao glanced around and realized what was going on.
Those who had been invited by Fengyu Zhong today were all lone wolves who did not belong to any organization and mercenaries who were paid to do their jobs.
If they were pure battle-type Cultivators, they would be at least at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. Many of them were even in the Core Formation Stage.
If they were not at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, they must have certain specialties other than fighting.
For example, he was an explosion expert, Fairy Silver Hoop was good at enchantment, and Wang Haha was a master thief.
While he was pondering, Dwarf King Haha had already moved his short and fat body, walking towards him with great difficulty.
While he was pondering about other people's identities, other people were observing him in secret, too.
Over the past month, 'Bloody Vulture' had been a well-known name in the circle of space pirates. Seeing that Fengyu Zhong had summoned such a tough guy who had risen to fame recently, the seasoned bandits were quite surprised, too.
"You are Bloody Vulture from Silver Wing City. You must know who I am, too. Hahahaha!"
The Thief King laughed and extended his short hands. He blinked and said, "I'm told that your hands are very fast and that you can plant crystal bombs on other people without alarming anyone. As it happens, my hands are very fast, too. I can take anything from other people without alarming anyone!"
"You can put things in, and I can take things out. We should get to know each other better!"
Wang Haha's voice was so high-pitched that it attracted the attention of all the space pirates.
The seasoned bandits all looked at the two of them with great interest, looking forward to the competition between the two quick-handed bandits.
Fairy Silver Hoop eyed Li Yao up and down. Brilliance beamed out of her eyes, and she tried to lean on Blood Axe.
Blood Axe, on the other hand, quickly moved aside as if he had seen a ghost. It was obvious that he did not want to get in touch with the demoness who was adept at collecting yang energy.
