Chapter 106 All Teammates Died
A vast, misty body of water, its surface shrouded in a fog that seemed to never dissipate, rested a rock-gray, saucer-shaped spaceship.
"I've figured it out, this godforsaken place is shrouded in fog everywhere," Saki remarked.
Indeed, since over 90% of the Crimson Dragon World is water, and fog lingers in many places, it takes a lot of effort to observe distant objects.
Moreover, the matter in this world is special due to the influence of the primordial energy of the universe. Even stars would find it difficult to see things a hundred meters away through the dense fog.
"Yes, after taking the spaceship out, the detection instruments on it can be used here." Suk had to admit the advantages of the spaceship. "However, the detection instruments are far from advanced and precise. Affected by the environment of this world, the detection range and accuracy are far inferior to those outside. The effective detection distance is about 10 kilometers in diameter, and we have to keep the spaceship out, which is very inconvenient."
Suk looked at Saki and said, "If you want to take it easy, we can stay in the spaceship, activate its detection instruments, and fly at a slower speed to reach our destination. That's not impossible."
"Moreover, this is a Class C spaceship; those water monsters and adventurers wouldn't be able to attack us."
An attack from a ninth-tier star level couldn't even damage the surface of this spaceship, so it's indeed very safe to stay inside.
Suk's best spaceship right now is the D1-class ship he bought with the money he got after selling the statue.
The D9 class... its alloy alone is nearly a thousand times more expensive than the D1 class; if it's a spaceship, it would be even more expensive.
The E-class spaceship used by ordinary realm lords costs about 1 trillion cosmic coins, which is equivalent to 1 Chaos Unit.
If a spaceship travels at high speed and loses control of its speed, it is easy to plunge headlong into situations where danger is difficult to detect (some environments are indistinguishable to the spaceship). However, if it slows down and moves forward little by little, it is not impossible.
Saki muttered, "Doing something like this in the Red Dragon World feels a bit strange. Isn't it too conspicuous?"
Most of the other examinees who entered here were low-key and cautious, moving forward very carefully, worried about encountering some danger, but they were swaggering around in their spaceships... This is a bit strange.
"And...:::" A glint flashed in Suk's eyes, "With this spaceship's detection capabilities, we can easily detect the movements of other life forms nearby in advance, including monsters and other adventurers."
"Then let's take a spaceship." Saki finally couldn't resist the temptation. "We can always go out when we're fighting."
He couldn't help but ask again, "The Space Mercenary Alliance won't forbid the use of spaceships inside, will they?"
"No, not at all." After asking Bubble about the assessment rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, Eloi said directly, "As long as you have the ability, you can even bring in restricted-level weapons to use, and even go on a killing spree and wipe out all the other examinees. The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance won't care. Of course, if you don't have some background, doing this will offend many forces. Their elites who are sent in are killed unfairly, and they will definitely retaliate in anger."
Participating in the space apprentice mercenary assessment is a matter of life and death; if you're weaker than others and get killed, you can just accept it. But if you use restricted-level weapons to bully people... that's unacceptable.
"The Space Mercenary Alliance's style is really wild," Saki remarked, though it was clear he quite liked their approach.
Adventure! Recklessness! Unbridled passion! ... All of these are exactly what Saki likes.
In the world of Crimson Dragon, the Misty Waters are fraught with danger.
However, a Class C spacecraft was flying at a relatively slow speed in the foggy waters.
"29 monsters were discovered in the waters 8.9 kilometers to the left."
"There are 12 monsters passing by at an altitude of 3000 meters, 9.1 kilometers ahead, at the 2 o'clock position."
"A large number of monsters were found fighting in the waters 9.7 kilometers to the right."
The intelligent computer on the spaceship reported data one after another. The spaceship seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact it was moving at an astonishing speed. This speed was something that most teams in the Red Dragon World could not even imagine!
Moreover...: ...very comfortable.
Some dangers were quickly avoided after being detected in time.
So, under Saki's speechless gaze, Suk and Eloi actually went back to the nutrient tank in the top hall to continue soaking in the nutrient solution, leaving him and seven eternal star-level ninth-tier bodyguards in the control room staring blankly at various data.
Actually, Suk wasn't too careless. The outer shell of the nutrient tank was made of F8 grade metal called "Azure Crystal Mother". Even an immortal would have to expend a lot of effort to destroy the nutrient tank, making it the safest place.
"They've definitely gone back to do bad things," Saki said to his seven bodyguards, who remained silent.
Days passed, and soon it was the fifth day. The spaceship flew out of the fog, and the view suddenly opened up, allowing them to see the distant scenery clearly.
Using the spaceship at this point would be too conspicuous. Just as Saki was wondering whether he should seek advice from Suk, the spaceship's AI suddenly issued an alarm.
"13 adventurers have been spotted emerging from underwater 9.5 kilometers to the left."
In reality, the spaceship's warnings were of little use. At this point, Saki and the others could see the situation over there with their naked eyes.
Without any obstruction or interference, the naked eye can see hundreds of kilometers away!
However, they hadn't been discovered before because these adventurers were underwater.
"Something's up?" Saki perked up. He wasn't worried about encountering any danger while inside the spaceship, so he leisurely looked at the screen.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed, and he immediately became restless. "Rika?"
Indeed, in the scene, the purple-haired woman Rika and two companions are flying ahead, while behind them is another 10-person squad aggressively pursuing them.
"Damn it!" Saki was furious. Just like what Suk and the others had said... Saki did have a good impression of Rika. Perhaps there was also some affection for the first purple-haired girl he liked back then. In matters of the heart, this seemingly wild, unrestrained, and unconventional big guy was surprisingly simple and earnest.
"Catch up with them!" Zuo Wei ordered the ship's AI. It wasn't a completely reckless impulse; in fact, he knew that a ten-person squad was nothing to this ship.
With Suk and the others away, Saki held supreme command of the spaceship. At his command, the saucer-shaped ship immediately accelerated, a streak of light flying at an astonishing speed towards the direction they were looking at.
At the same time, the spaceship's AI also began to notify Suk and his companion in the nutrient tank.
At this moment, Rika's small team, which was being chased down, was now down to only 3 people. A level 9 psychic master, a star-level expert, was riding a fish-shaped weapon, carrying Rika and the spiky-haired youth in flight. The wolf and fox were in a sorry state.
"No, we'll be caught!" The young man with the spiky blue hair was extremely anxious and ordered the star-level bodyguard, "Leave her behind, just take me."
Those who participate in the space apprentice mercenary assessment are mostly assigned to protect important young members, while the weaker ones are given orders.
Rika and the ninth-level bodyguard were both at the same level, but the young man with the spiky blue hair seemed to have a higher status. The ninth-level bodyguard actually threw Rika down and fled for his life with the young man with the spiky blue hair.
Flying with only one person is indeed faster than flying with two people!
"No." Rika's face paled, and she looked at the scene with despair and resentment in her eyes.
*Pfft*, and then she was sliced off by a high-speed spinning psychic weapon from a ninth-level psychic master of the pursuing squad.
That beautiful head wore an expression of disbelief until its final moments.
"No...:::::" Zuo Wei, who had arrived in her spaceship, saw this scene and her eyes immediately turned blood red. She let out a heart-wrenching roar.
Mr. Saki... His second spring in life hadn't even begun when he suffered another merciless Waterloo.
