Who doesn’t want a treasure like Xingming Cicada? Gu Ningye also wants to take it for himself. If it were in the past, he was still a loyal minister of Xuanyan Heavenly Court. When he met Xingming Cicada, not only would he not covet him, but he would stay away from it.
, make every effort to clear the relationship.
With Xingming Cicada, you have the ability to fall immortal officials, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of the court.
But now he knows very well that once the Qingtian level is exposed, sooner or later his Gu family will embark on the path of rebellion, so Xingming Cicada will become very important.
But he still didn't dare to fight with Song Zheng.
Song Zheng smiled slightly, raised his hand and took away the stick, and then went to the cave with Gun Ningye lightly. There was no surprise, nor was he disappointed. He selected several rare ones
Of course, the materials cannot make up for the loss of eighty Qingtian-class ships, but including the one Star Cicada larvae, it is completely enough.
Gun Ningye secretly felt heartbroken, and returned to Yunxia Star with Song Zheng. This time, he did not stop, picked up Zhou Sheng and Ji En, and headed to the Nine Needles Star Territory together.
On the starship, Song Zheng sank his mind into the Xianjia Cave, which is the base camp of the star-changing insects. After an evolutionary debugging and a deep sleep, the star-changing insects are now several times stronger than when Song Zheng first conquered them.
times.
If you just look at it from the perspective of predators, the gap between them and Sky Catchers is not big. But if the two are pitted against each other, the outcome is still hard to say. Against ordinary Sky Catchers, the Star Transformers have a great chance of winning, but against ordinary Sky Catchers,
I'm afraid Song Xiaotian will be completely defeated.
After Song Zheng got the egg of the Xingming Cicada at that moment, he sent it to the Xianjia Cave.
He was able to see the abnormality in that tree, of course, because he inherited all the knowledge of the Machine God. But the part about the Star Cicada was the awakening of the instinct of the Star Transformation Insect Queen.
In addition to the well-known "Star Sea Transmission, Infinite Divine Sound", Xingming Cicada also has another magical power, which is "symbiosis" - it can form a symbiotic relationship with equally powerful special starry sky beasts, such as the Demonic Abyss Spider,
For example, Bai Jue Tian Locust, such as Star Transformation Insect.
The Star-Crystal Cicada is indeed powerful, but it lacks the means to directly hunt, so achieving symbiosis is actually the Star-Crying Cicada's real "means of livelihood."
These predators in the starry sky are very willing to join forces with Xing Mingchan. His infinite divine voice is indeed very useful. However, only the predators know about another well-known magical power, "Xinghai Tongzhuan".
Special fluctuations, magical powers for large-scale reconnaissance.
In fact, it is used to find "prey".
There is no way to break the symbiotic relationship between the two. Once they come into contact, both parties will die. The Star Cicada is so powerful that it often takes over the magpie's nest in the symbiotic relationship, and eventually becomes the true king of the entire group.
However, there is no such problem with the Star Cicada in its larval form, so the God of the Sun-Breaking Arrow and the current Star Transformation Insect Queen excitedly begged the master to please give her this larva.
Song Zheng opened the Xianjia Cave just to see how far the Queen Mother had progressed.
This makes me feel relieved: because the larval state of the Star Cicada is unconscious and everything is at the mercy of the mother queen, what is now formed is not a symbiotic relationship, but a unilateral "epiphytic" relationship. The hatched
The Xingming Cicada is being wrapped around a series of special "insect limbs" and hanging on the Queen Mother's body.
It is growing, and it is estimated that in a few days, the whole process will be completely completed.
Xingming Cicada can only serve the Queen Mother obediently, otherwise the Queen Mother will cut off those insect limbs and Xingming Cicada will die immediately.
"Master is here, do you think this arrangement is acceptable?" The Queen Mother immediately claimed the credit. Song Zheng estimated that with the presence of the Xingming Cicada, the Star Transformation Insect Swarm has two ways to restrain the gods.
In addition, they have now evolved the ability to cooperate with "multiple arms", and their ability to hunt gods in the future will even exceed that of Sky Catchers!
He was very satisfied, nodded and smiled, and gave a rare compliment to the Queen Mother: "Not bad!"
The Queen Mother suddenly became excited. Fortunately, she didn't get carried away and didn't forget to say to the Master: "Master, you should ask Gu about the origin of this tree."
"Xingming Cicada is often surrounded by some special starry sky beasts. They are all powerful and useful. If we can find them, we will be even more powerful!"
Song Zheng asked: "Is it because your insect swarm has become more powerful?"
The Queen Mother's petty thoughts were exposed, and she quickly defended: "I am doing this for the master. I have strong soldiers and horses, so I can naturally share more of the master's worries!"
Song Zheng nodded: "After the battle, I will ask the Gu family."
At this time, it's better not to bother Gu Shi over these "trivial" things.
…
This voyage was very secretive. During this period, Yunxia Star rushed to build two more Qingtian-class ships. The entire fleet had a total of 102 new main starships. Under the cover of the powerful immortal formation, it slowly entered the Nine
Needle Star Territory, the star territory controlled by Xuanyan Heavenly Court.
In the next few days, Gun Ninghe and Gu Mengyao were responsible for greeting Song Zheng. Gun Ningye was obviously busy, and the war was about to break out.
Baili Qianhuo often accompanied Song Zheng and talked to him about some things: "Several military leaders in the imperial court are from business families, and there are no powerful generals in their families. When they make money, most of them need to be subsidized secretly.
Army. Because once the combat effectiveness of the legion they control decreases, their competitiveness in the court will be greatly reduced."
"As for the top divine generals, apart from the royal family, there are only a few ancient aristocratic families, but they cannot control the army. This is a layout common to all the divine courts and heavenly courts in the star sea. The individual powerful divine generals
, separated from the powerful divine army."
"When it comes time to fight, the imperial court sends divine generals to charge into the battle, followed by elite heavenly soldiers to cover them up and then occupy and rule. And the one who directs the entire battle is a famous general recognized by everyone."
"God generals are powerful, but they may not be good commanders. In the past hundreds of thousands of years in the Star Sea, countless battles have already proven this, so everyone can accept it."
"Although the military leaders have armies, if you dare to have second thoughts, a powerful god general can take your head out of ten thousand armies."
"If a family of divine generals wants to rebel, but they don't have the support of the army, they can only carry out assassinations and cannot consolidate their rule. In the end, it will be nothing."
Song Zheng nodded. The system of Crimson Star Sea has its rationality, but it is impossible to say that it has no flaws. However, any system has loopholes, and it is a good system that is suitable for the current situation.
He asked Baili Qianhuo: "Senior Gu Ningye is contacting those families of divine generals?"
"Yes, but... it's difficult." Baili Qianhuo lowered his voice and said, "In recent thousands of years, the royal family has been mediocre, and everyone has been dissatisfied. The reason why they dare to be dissatisfied is because the royal family is greedy for pleasure, and the overall
The strength has declined..."
Song Zheng smiled, as expected.
"Those god-general families are also very greedy, but we can't blame them. After all, it is very difficult to train a top god-general. The family also needs to invest huge resources, and the success rate is very low."
Song Zheng understood that in this war, Andefes had put all their efforts into it, and I am afraid that Guningye needed the support of more than one god general family to survive.
Asking them to take action will cost you a lot.
In front of such a big family, don't talk about national justice. The interests of the family always come first.
Baili Qianhuo whispered: "I just saw a person from the Shentu clan. Hey, I'm afraid the Gu clan is going to bleed heavily."
"Shentu clan?"
"The Shentu family is a different kind," Baili Qianhuo explained to him: "They are the most powerful family of divine generals. It is said that the family has no less than five second-grade divine generals, twenty third-grade generals, and a large number of
Fourth grade."
"However, this family only values benefits and will work as long as they are paid. Otherwise, even if the Immortal Emperor issues an order, they will try every means to evade it. Moreover, the Shentu family can always find a suitable excuse. Every time they shirk, the Immortal Emperor will be disappointed.
The emperor can’t make a mistake, hehehehe.”
Song Zheng also smiled, this Shentu family is a bit interesting.
He suddenly asked: "You Bailishi also made a big bet this time, right?"
Baili Qianhuo nodded: "For the business of refining the starship, the Gu family has paid enough immortal coins, and the family has made a lot of money. But this matter cannot be avoided by just quitting, so the family sent two
A fourth-grade god general came over, and..."
He paused and said: "Grandpa spent a lot of money to hire a third-grade divine general to take action, and that person came here today."
In the Nine Needles Star Territory, the tense atmosphere is getting more and more serious. The Andefis Divine Court on the opposite side is obviously aware of it. Instead of giving in at all, they are aggressive. Their patrol starships are in groups and constantly passing by both sides.
The actual control area causes small frictions again and again.
Gu's side seems to be showing weakness. In such a patrol fleet conflict, the victory will be less and the loss will be more.
Song Zheng watched with cold eyes and saw that the Gu family adopted such a strategy out of sheer helplessness: Xuanyan Heavenly Court was lagging behind in terms of starships compared to Andefis Heavenly Court.
After having the Qingtian class, Xuanyan Tianting has the upper hand in terms of main starships, but with numerous auxiliary starships and even patrol starships, Xuanyan Tianting still lags behind.
To put it simply, it was impossible to win in the first place. The Gu clan simply adopted a strategy of showing weakness to the enemy. When the real battle began, the Qingtian class would give the opponent a huge surprise.
Such frictions gradually increased from once every twelve hours to three times every twelve hours, and then nine times! By this time, both sides became extremely nervous, and both understood that at this time, any small conflict could directly trigger a war.
.
In the evening of this day, Song Zheng met Gu Ningye who was passing by in a hurry. The head of the Gu family looked very tired and solemn. After a simple greeting to Song Zheng, he left immediately. He still had important matters to deal with.
