Chapter 2211: Heaven's Favor
The parasite grinned viciously: "No matter where you've hidden the goods, we're taking them!"
"And your body and memories are mine too. Such a fine vessel shouldn't go to waste. You'll live on as someone else!"
The blood-colored greatsword blazed with crimson light, clearly intending to parasitize Shengyi!
But at that moment, a crack suddenly split open on the back of Shengyi's neck!
A purple pupil emerged, staring directly into the parasite's eyes!
"Soul Puppet!"
In an instant, the parasite's movements froze. Its other hand transformed into a blade!
It raised its hand and chopped off its own head!
Taking the opportunity, Shengyi kicked backward off the parasite, pulling herself free from the greatsword!
Blood sprayed everywhere!
The mechanical arm frantically transformed, turning to aim at the parasite!
"High-Temperature Plasma Star Cannon!"
"Boom!"
Blazing plasma light enveloped the parasite. Shengyi used the recoil to escape the danger zone!
But the mechanical arm's last energy cell was empty!
Gritting her teeth, Shengyi locked her gaze onto one of the unremarkable Swiftbird starships, and charged straight for it!
After the cannon blast, the parasite was charred black all over, but far from dead!
The outer shell of charcoal cracked open, and new muscle tissue grew back!
"You bitch! I'll make you die without a burial place! Once I parasitize you, I'll sell you to the red-light district and humiliate you to the bone first!"
Without looking back, Shengyi raised her middle finger at the parasite.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "Go ahead and do that yourself! This girl has no interest!"
As she spoke, the mechanical arm ejected a syringe and jabbed it into her own neck!
The potent poison entered her body. Shengyi's skin turned blue-purple, and the blood she coughed up was black!
This was an anti-parasite serum. Although highly toxic, it could suppress the growth of parasitic species inside the body, preventing a full takeover.
A method that harmed the enemy by a thousand but wounded oneself by eight hundred.
The syringe rotated, and Shengyi gave herself another injection!
This time, her wounds healed frantically, and her cheeks flushed bright red!
"Hiss~ This blood recovery potion is really potent! Bleah~"
Shengyi complained and spat blood at the same time.
As a renowned ferryman, she naturally prepared thoroughly for missions.
The parasite raged: "Damn it! You even brought serum? Boss!"
Black squinted his eyes: "Since you don't appreciate the favor, don't blame me! Jiafei!"
The Gamma clan woman curled her lips into a smirk.
"Berserk • Gamma Legion!"
In an instant, dazzling gamma energy poured into the tens of thousands of underlings of the Wuhai Group!
Under the infusion of gamma energy, everyone's skin turned dark green. Their muscles bulged wildly, making them as strong as bulls!
Roaring, they charged at Shengyi's smuggling convoy, slaughtering them. Casualties skyrocketed!
Shengyi had no time to worry about anything else. She grabbed Xiaoshen and charged into a Swiftbird starship!
She grabbed the pilot, threw him aside, and sat down herself.
Xiaoshen projected a star chart!
"This star chart was drawn last time. The planetary activity in the core area is intense, so there might be slight deviations. Please be careful, sweetheart miss!"
Shengyi had no time to acknowledge Xiaoshen!
"Heaven's Favor • Eye of the Starry Sky!"
In an instant, a giant golden eye unfurled above the Swiftbird starship, gazing into the Wuxian Torrent!
Then, she pushed the starship's power to maximum and charged sharply to the left!
While driving, she muttered:
"Damn! Damn it all! I was supposed to be smooth sailing! I'm a favored child of fortune—how can I be this unlucky? This makes no sense!"
Jiafei squinted: "Boss! That starship of hers!"
Black's eyes were full of excitement: "That's the one. The main cargo must be on that starship. I'd like to see where you run!"
"Psychic Tide!"
Torrents of psychic energy burst forth, even distorting the void!
Experienced ferrymen usually arranged fleets of identical specifications when smuggling.
The goods were distributed separately. Other starships carried small amounts of cargo—acceptable losses, used as decoys.
One of them carried more than half the goods as the main vessel—the core starship!
Only the head knew which starship was the main one.
Clearly, Shengyi's ship was it.
Just as the Psychic Tide was about to slam into the starship, Shengyi seemed to foresee it!
The Swiftbird starship made a sharp turn, charging to the right, and even activated the warp drive!
"Boom!"
The surrounding starships were flattened and torn apart under the pressure of the Psychic Tide!
But Shengyi's Swiftbird entered warp state and shot out!
Black: !!!
"Damn it! You're messing with me? The empty glue bomb time is over! She planned to go from the right all along!"
The Swiftbird starship plunged into the Wuxian Torrent and disappeared!
Only Shengyi's voice echoed on the battlefield: "Mission failed! Everyone break out and survive on your own! If you live, remember to send the message!"
Black's face was full of disgust: "Third! Clean up. Don't let a single one escape!"
"Leave one starship here. The rest follows me!"
With that, the remaining six Solar Wind-class starships formed a combined fleet and gave chase to the fleeing Shengyi!
Black stood at the bow, arms spread wide!
"Domain Expansion • Extreme Black Storm!"
Ferocious psychic energy erupted, turning black-gray, sweeping and blooming!
It pushed open the Wuxian Torrent, providing living space for the starships, always clinging to Shengyi!
Shengyi seemed to have lost all sense of direction, diving into danger wherever it was!
The Swiftbird starship was smoking, yet it seemed blessed by heaven!
At every critical moment, it escaped death by a hair, seizing opportunities from desperate situations to carve out a path.
It just wouldn't crash!
This tormented Black. Their fleet was huge and had poor maneuverability. When encountering dangerous parts of the Wuxian Torrent, they couldn't dodge and had to smash through!
"Boom!"
One Solar Wind-class starship couldn't withstand the erosion of the Wuxian Torrent and exploded!
Black's heart bled!
"That bitch! I'm charging this one to your account too!"
While fleeing, Shengyi didn't forget to taunt back!
"Chase me? Come on, try! If you catch me... sorry! You'll never catch me!"
"I, Shengyi, am the woman you'll never get! My fame as the old driver of the Wuxian Torrent is no joke! Wanna race? Bleah~"
At this moment, with her Heaven's Favor eye, the world became different!
The dynamic chaos of the Wuxian Torrent was unpredictable, but in her eyes, everything was covered with a layer of light!
Some places were extremely dark, black, foretelling death and destruction!
Some directions were golden, symbolizing hope and good fortune!
Avoiding misfortune and welcoming good luck—everything goes smoothly!
This was Shengyi's bread and butter!
Until now, she had never encountered a situation with absolutely no way out, not even now!
But she really didn't understand—how could she still be lucky when it was like this?
There was no sign of her dying. Instead, Black and his crew were covered in thick ominous signs of death, showing they were short-lived!
Clearly, they wouldn't live long!
But in this situation, she was the one who should be dying! The Swiftbird was practically exploding!
Just then, Shengyi suddenly noticed a direction blazing with golden light, marking great fortune!
Without a second thought, she flew the ship straight toward it!
"Boom!"
The battered Swiftbird starship smashed through the obstructing Wuxian Torrent, and ahead appeared a huge dark matter shield!
It was a Domain-Class Cosmic God Shield at the highest level, usually used for small galaxy defense!
Extremely expensive—only big races could afford it!
How could something like this appear in the Wuxian Torrent?
The dark matter energy shield had already been eroded very thin, with holes in places, but it was still running!
Inside, there was no Wuxian Torrent!
Shengyi gritted her teeth: whatever it was, she had to get in first!
The smoking Swiftbird starship slipped through a hole in the dark matter shield!
But the moment she entered, she was stunned!
The most eye-catching things were a dozen star source planets, each thirty thousand kilometers in diameter!
Yes, planets!
Complete planets made of pure star source energy ore, polished to an incredible smoothness!
Like gems embedded in the starry sky!
Shengyi's worldview was shaken. She'd only ever seen star source energy blocks!
But this big? This was a first! How much was one planet worth?
And what was even more terrifying was that there were far more treasures inside this Cosmic God Shield than just star source planets!
Shengyi was dumbfounded. What kind of dumb luck was this? What the hell was this place?
Could it be the secret treasure vault of some bigshot?
But the next moment, her expression froze!
On one star source planet, huge characters written in Beimian Common Tongue were visible even from the starry sky!
The planet read:
"THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO TREASURES HERE!!!"
—Left by Chong Feiyu!
Shengyi: !!!
Pfft! You literally wrote it on the treasure itself!
Chong Feiyu?
Wait... wasn't she—
While she was stunned, Black led his Solar Wind fleet in pursuit!
Of the six that chased, only four remained, two smoking!
Black and his crew also slipped through the hole in the shield!
The moment they entered, they froze in place, watching a star source planet drift past!
Black's pitch-black face flushed red, and two streams of nosebleed burst out!
His eyes were filled with greed!
"Hahahaha! Damn! We're rich! We're rich! The private vault of a great mine lord?"
One planet alone was enough for a lifetime of comfort! That cheap source metal was pure garbage compared to this private vault!
Shengyi was also shocked. She had accidentally stumbled into this place?
For some reason, the ominous signs on Black and his crew seemed even thicker...
