Final priesthood

"Buzz——"

A sudden and strange sound woke Lu Yuan from his meditation.

Opening his eyes, Lu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

I saw that the originally bright and empty training room was now under a bright and dark red. In the middle of the room, a huge pale skull quietly emerged.

The skull also wore a black one-eyed blindfold on its face. When it saw Lu Yuan, it immediately let out a harsh laugh of "Jie Jie Jie".

"This is... a virtual image?!"

After a brief period of surprise, Lu Yuan soon discovered the truth about the red light and the skull, and his expression returned to calm.

Apart from scaring people, there is no real harm.

But the practice room was so messy that it was obviously impossible to continue practicing.

Lu Yuan turned around and walked out of the training room. Only when he left the door did he realize that there were also flashing red lights everywhere outside the training room, and there were also one-eyed skulls that suddenly appeared from somewhere from time to time.

The entire spacecraft's lighting and audio-visual systems seemed to have been completely occupied by these two things.

Listening to the countless strange laughter that came and went, and the seeping red light that dazzled people's eyes wherever they went, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Reach out and take out your personal terminal, tap the terminal screen.

"Lu Feng! Did you secretly use the spaceship's optical brain to watch the virus in the movie?!"

This shouting has a miraculous effect.

A few seconds passed after he finished shouting, and the red light and skull in front of Lu Yuan's eyes disappeared.

The interior of the spacecraft regained its original peace and tranquility.

Lu Yuan's face softened slightly and he turned around, facing Lu Feng who was standing in front of him expressionlessly.

The corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly when he looked at himself.

"What just happened?"

Lu Yuan seemed to have forgotten what he had said to Lu Feng before, and asked Lu Feng the reason with a natural look on his face.

Lu Feng took a breath and replied in a deep voice: "The spacecraft system was slightly attacked from outside, and a virus took the opportunity to be implanted. But it has been repaired now."

"External attack?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "Who attacked us?"

Lu Feng looked into Lu Yuan's eyes and softly said two words.

"Star Thief."

"Star Thief?!"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

He was no stranger to the term.

Before setting off, he had done some homework on the various situations he might encounter during long-distance interstellar travel.

Among them, star thieves are one of the troubles that travelers in the starry sky least want to encounter and are most likely to encounter.

These extremely vicious starry sky desperadoes who lick blood from their blades are like jackals wandering in space. Once a passing spacecraft is targeted by them, it means that they are about to face endless troubles.

They will continue to carry out various attacks and harassment on the spacecraft, forcing the spacecraft to change its course.

Then it uses up the power of the spacecraft little by little, and when the time is right, it bites it hard.

Forcibly blast open the outer shell of the spacecraft, steal all valuable things in the spacecraft, capture all the people in the spacecraft and sell them as slaves, or kill them directly.

In the end, the entire spacecraft will be towed away by them and dismantled cleanly, leaving nothing behind.

Among the missing and damaged spacecraft statistics compiled by Duoling every year, those caused by encountering star thieves account for almost 70% of the total.

Lu Yuan initially wanted to go with the Yongri Chamber of Commerce's fleet. The main purpose was to prevent encountering star thieves.

A top-tier chamber of commerce fleet like the Yongri Chamber of Commerce would not dare to provoke the Star Thief Group, which has an average defense force.

Facts have proved that the first half of the journey was indeed safe and smooth, but I didn't expect that what was coming would eventually be inevitable. Just two days after leaving the Yongri Merchant Fleet, I encountered the Star Thieves.

Although he knew that the crisis was present, Lu Yuan was not too panicked.

He walked quickly to the observation deck of the spacecraft and looked out through the porthole.

I saw dozens of spaceships, including his, flying silently in the dark and silent starry sky.

Without exception, every spacecraft has an energy shield on its surface.

Other than that, everything was normal, nothing unusual, and Lu Yuan saw no trace of the spacecraft belonging to the Star Thief Group.

"You can't see them."

Lu Feng walked next to him and looked out of the boat with him.

“They are hiding in the dark and won’t come out for a while.

By invading the defenses of the surface system of the spacecraft, they tell you that they have targeted you, forcing you to open the protective cover and consume the energy of the spacecraft in advance.

This is their usual method."

Lu Yuan looked quietly towards the outside of the ship for a while, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "What did the people on the other ships say?"

After breaking away from the Yongri Chamber of Commerce's fleet, their fleet became a new small group.

As far as Lu Yuan knows, this fleet now also has a core leader.

The rest of the fleet had paid him a certain fee in advance.

Now when something happens, the leader of the fleet has the responsibility to find a way to solve it.

"I have contacted them. The Amethyst Chamber of Commerce just asked us to open the protective shield and follow the team."

Lu Feng replied: "But they should have already called for reinforcements. What I'm more worried about now is"

Lu Feng frowned and said: "The Amethyst Chamber of Commerce may choose to temporarily change the route because of the star thieves. If this happens, we don't know how many days it will take to reach Lilva Star."

After Lu Yuan listened to Lu Feng's analysis, he nodded expressionlessly.

He is in a bad mood now.

I thought I would be able to reach my destination in a few hours, but now because of the star thief, the time suddenly became long and uncertain.

But he didn't have any good solutions.

In this current situation, we can only follow the large army.

If you leave privately.

A small one-person spaceship like theirs would not be able to fly very far before it would be eaten by star thieves until there was not even a bit of bones and dregs left.

“Although it’s not a particularly rare event, it was so unlucky that it happened to me the first time I went out.

I still feel like a cuckoo bird is around me

Bad luck is always around."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

In the following time, Lu Yuan had no intention to continue practicing.

After thinking about it, I simply hid in the training room and took out a lot of messy things I bought at Ellis Trade Plaza.

Activate the [Extraordinary Contact] skill on the [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] career panel to summon the gray vortex with unknown connections, and then throw each piece into the vortex one by one.

"[Extraordinary Contact], experience value +1"

"[Extraordinary Contact], experience value +1"

Lu Yuan counted the skill experience value of [Extraordinary Contact] on the career panel and jumped up little by little, just to pass the boring time.

When he threw fruit into the whirlpool before, every time after throwing it, the guy at the other end of the whirlpool would give him a clean fruit core.

Now it looks like this pile of bits and pieces are about to be thrown away, but there is no reaction at all.

Oh, no.

In the middle of the road, a few bottles of medicine with unknown ingredients, unknown effects, and a bit of a stench, pulled from an unknown stall, were thrown into the whirlpool.

A few wisps of green smoke came out of the vortex, and it looked like the smelly farts released after a bad stomach.

"Whoosh——"

The pile of things was about to be sacrificed. Lu Yuan casually grabbed a black and hard thing, whether it was a bone joint or a stone, and gently threw it into the gray vortex.

After this "sacrifice", his [Extraordinary Contact] has been raised to lv2, and the professional experience of [Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] has also increased a bit, and he is not far away from being promoted to the next level.

As he was thinking about it, the gray vortex in front of his eyes gradually shrank.

Lu Yuangang was ready to carry out the next round of summons and sacrifice seamlessly.

But at this moment.

"puff--"

There was a sound like someone spitting out the seeds after eating a watermelon. At the moment when the gray vortex was about to disappear, a bright thing suddenly flew out of the vortex.

It fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound, making a crisp and sweet sound.

Lu Yuan's action of grabbing the next sacrificial object immediately froze, and he was stunned. Looking at the "return object" that appeared unexpectedly and without warning, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Reaching out his hand, he gently picked up the thing that fell on the ground.

Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe this thing.

It looks like a crudely made gadget.

It's about the size of two fingernails, and it's made of unknown metal. It's dark yellow in color, slightly hot to the touch, and even smells like a pungent sulfur smell.

The shape of this metal piece is crooked and irregular, but one side is smooth, bright and clean.

The other side has a pattern printed on it.

It is a strange creature with thin arms and legs but a huge and round body.

He grinned widely, revealing a mouthful of fine fangs.

It looks weird, strange, and a little funny and ridiculous.

"Hee hee hee--"

Lu Yuan was looking at the metal piece in his hand, when suddenly a strange and evil laughter sounded in his ears.

"who?!"

Lu Yuan raised his head suddenly and looked around.

At first I thought the star thieves were attacking the spacecraft system again.

But after some investigation, I found that

This evil and weird laughter seemed to come from the strange metal piece in his hand.

Lu Yuan tried a few more times.

Sure enough, as long as he holds the metal piece in his hand and gently rubs the side with the weird creature pattern printed on it, he can hear the weird laughter.

The laughter was shrill and harsh, and it matched well with the image of the strange creature on the metal piece with its big belly and thin legs.

"What did I just throw into the whirlpool?"

Lu Yuan stared at the metal piece in his hand, recalling the process of his last sacrifice.

If he remembered correctly, what he threw into the gray vortex should be a "fossil" he bought from the old man Chicino's stall?

Not sure.

I guess Chicino himself doesn’t even know.

I just didn't expect that after that small piece of stuff was sacrificed to the whirlpool, something would be returned back!

This was Lu Yuan's first "successful sacrifice" in the true sense.

“The question is, what exactly does this thing do?”

Lu Yuan looked at the strange metal piece in his hand and thought: "It can make weird laughter. It is obviously not an ordinary thing, at least it is an extraordinary item."

By the way, I almost forgot that I still have that skill! "

Lu Yuan patted his forehead.

[Occult Scholar (Extraordinary)] On the career panel, there are three basic professional skills.

In addition to [Chaos Divination] and [Extraordinary Contact], there is also [Mysterious Perception], isn't it just used to deal with this situation?

“I haven’t used it for so long that I almost forgot about this skill.

Give it a try. "

Lu Yuan grabbed the metal piece in his hand and tried to activate [Mysterious Perception].

The moment the skill was activated, the metal piece in his hand seemed to suddenly become hot.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of information was fed back to Lu Yuan's mind——

[The abyss coin that sealed the Sinking Demon. 】

[Throw it, and you have a chance to break the seal and summon the greedy and perverted demon in the coin.

ps: If it is in a good mood, it may help you once. 】

"Abyss Coin. Sinking Demon."

"So the weird creature printed on this coin is the so-called Abyss Sinking Demon?

Can you flip a coin to summon it? "

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, feeling incredible.

The first successful contact with [Extraordinary Contact] actually allowed me to obtain such a prop.

It seems to be quite useful, and it can be used as a temporary thug at critical moments.

But it seems that there are quite a lot of uncertainties.

If you are unlucky, what you summon may not be a thug, but an opponent who is trying to kill you.

“Let’s see if we find a chance to use it anytime.”

Lu Yuan didn't intend to keep this thing around for too long.

Abyss, devil. These words, coupled with the effect of using this fallen demon coin.

It looks like a restless time bomb that might explode at some point.

However, the acquisition of this Sinking Demon Coin made Lu Yuan suddenly ignited a strong enthusiasm for the skill [Transcendent Contact].

If it succeeds once, there will be a second and third time

Use some worthless "junk" in exchange for some weird props that may come in handy.

It's definitely a great deal.

"Also, what is the abyss?

Next time you enter the Crow Dreamland, ask the Crow God to see if she knows."

Lu Yuan gently played with the Sinking Demon Coin in his hand and thought casually.

I was just about to sacrifice all the remaining items to see if I could get lucky again.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the training room.

Lu Yuan quickly put away the coins with a look on his face, then opened the door and strode out.

Lu Feng stood outside the door, looking at him calmly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"good news."

Lu Feng replied: "It won't be long before we can reach Planet Lilva smoothly."

"Um?!"

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, but more of a surprise. He couldn't help but say: "The star was stolen?"

"Um."

Lu Feng nodded.

"I left temporarily and won't be back for a while."

"Why?"

Lu Yuan was curious.

Lu Feng did not explain, but just led him towards the observation platform.

Arriving at the observation platform, through the porthole, Lu Yuan saw the scene outside the spacecraft at this time.

At the front of their fleet, a silver-white spaceship was seen occupying the leader's position.

With sharp eyes, Lu Yuan noticed that there was a silver-white mecha hovering on top of the spacecraft.

It looks quite huge, and its body is silver-white.

It has a pair of unfolded white metal wings and a long tail like a lizard.

The mecha was exuding a bright white light. In the dark and silent night sky, it gave people an inexplicable sense of being high, majestic and sacred.

"It's the Lingting Guard."

Lu Feng's voice sounded low in his ears.

“The person who controls this mecha represents Duoling’s supreme will within this starry sky.

We are very lucky. There happens to be a Lingting Guard accompanying this fleet.

With a fleet guarded by Spirit Court Guards, even the most innocent star thief must carefully consider whether he can afford to offend him before taking action."
