Not only is it the same for the Eastern Holy City where Song Chi and the other two are located, but also the northern and western sides.
There’s no need to elaborate on the north; the Dinghai Dragon Steed’s warship avatar is sufficient to crush everything. As for the west, Song Shiyuan and Song Yan brought along the Starry Sky Dragon Shark.
The Starry Sky Dragon Shark, as a Seventh Rank enslaved species under Song Chi’s command, has yet to reveal itself before others, so Song Chi and the others are not afraid of its exposure.
After all, they had already agreed before the operation that from now on, this Starry Sky Dragon Shark would only act together with the warship avatars, or it would be sent back to the Red Star Superdimensional Continent. In short, they would not summon it openly again, as they already had two Dominator King Worms.
“Ru Zu, compress all these corpses and send them to the Ruins Market. Whether it’s for extracting Primordial Blood or feeding Mother Empress·Iris, it’s perfect. Don’t forget, if Iris wants to continue breeding new Dominator King Worms, these blood and flesh brimming with energy are indispensable!”
In the following hours, Song Chi and the two started a thorough plunder of the entire Eastern Royal City, including the royal treasury, the private vaults of high-rank Snake Demons, and more, leaving nothing untouched.
Half a day later, five warships converged in the center of the Withered Snake Holy City on the Withered Snake Floating Land.
A Star-Annihilating Starship, a Domination Level Starry Sky Dragon Shark, four Fearless Ships, and the Ruins Market Projection Rank that Song Chi didn’t hesitate to use.
With such a formation, the Withered Snake Holy City barely held out for two minutes under their combined assault.
Eventually, the five warships lingered in the Withered Snake Holy City for three hours, until they had plundered all the treasures within the city, and then they escaped the Floating Land at the fastest speed.
No one would have imagined that a Seventh Level Floating Land could be completely emptied in less than a day.
Half a month later, high-rank Snake Demons finally reached this Withered Snake Floating Land, but obviously, it was already too late.
But all of this is a later story.
Returning to that day, after Song Chi and the five warship avatars left the Withered Snake Floating Land and slipped into the depths of the stars, they didn’t rush to tally the spoils but continued with their subsequent action plan.
From inside the Dinghai Dragon Steed warship avatar came a massive space fluctuation, and the next second, a space vortex began to surface in the starry sky in front of the warship.
As time passed, this space vortex was not repaired by the rules of the Starry Sea; instead, it expanded even more.
Finally, this space vortex transformed into a giant space wormhole, created precisely by the Space Wormhole Generator as an Acquired Wormhole.
“Let’s go, the other end of this wormhole is located in the Wild River Star Domain. After we pass through, I will immediately dismantle this space wormhole, so make sure to hurry up by then.”
“Although the matter of the Withered Snake Floating Land is difficult to spread widely in a short time, we are just worried that the Eight-Armed Snake Demons of the Poison Snake River System might have high-rank communication oddities. Even though the Wild River Star Domain is over 400,000 light-years away from this Poison Snake River System, if there’s a delay, unexpected occurrences might happen.”
After Song Wujiang finished speaking, Song Shiyuan followed up immediately with a sentence.
“Also, remember, after plundering the Wild River Floating Land, jump directly northward, and we’ll meet at the designated spot.”
Suddenly, Song Xingru chimed in.
“Yes, after this, we still need to proceed to other battlefields where the advancing fleets are located. Every successful secretly profitable action like this greatly benefits us and even elevates the entire family’s foundation; it’s a rare opportunity!”
Hearing Song Xingru’s words, a burst of laughter erupted from the group chat.
Of course, this time it wasn’t mockery disguised as laughter; Song Xingru’s words were a bit blunt, but they weren’t without sense, and it was also what Song Chi and the others were thinking at that moment.
After passing through the space wormhole, Song Wujiang immediately canceled the wormhole.
The creation of a space wormhole always generates massive disturbances, so Song Wujiang didn’t set the wormhole endpoint directly close to the Wild River Floating Land, but rather in the Dark Star Domain, several thousand light-years away from the Wild River Floating Land.
After canceling the space wormhole, the five warships immediately commenced their warship jump.
After that, they naturally repeated the steps they previously took to assault the Withered Snake Floating Land.
Similarly, no unexpected events occurred. After all, less than 24 hours had passed since the Withered Snake Floating Land was attacked, and even if the high-rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons of the Poison Snake River System did possess high-rank communication oddities for connection, it wouldn’t be possible to react so quickly.
Once again, in less than 24 hours, the Wild River Floating Land was also swept entirely by the five at the fastest speed.
Of course, given the vastness of a Seventh Level Floating Land, it’s naturally impossible to take away too many things with only five people in less than a day, not even one-ten-thousandth.
But don’t forget, the targets Song Chi and the others chose were the several core holy cities on the Floating Land. Not to mention, these holy cities have stood on the Seventh Level Floating Land for thousands or tens of thousands of years, gathering the majority of the Floating Land’s most precious resources.
It’s safe to say, Song Chi and the five might not have plundered even one-ten-thousandth of the resources on the Floating Land, but these resources’ value is absolutely enough to constitute a significant portion of the entire value of the Seventh Level Floating Land.
…
“Look, I’ve got some good luck; 15 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin!”
“Oh, so many Eternal Stone Bricks, could it be that an Eternal Stone Brick Ore Vein was discovered on the Withered Snake Floating Land?”
In the encrypted communication group chat of the Dinghai Dragon Steed, Song Chi and others were tallying up the harvest from this expedition.
When they heard the words “Eternal Stone Brick,” the attention of the others immediately turned towards them.
When they saw the pile of “Eternal Stone Bricks” stacked like a small mountain, everyone’s eyes shone brightly.
Even with a rough estimate, the number of “Eternal Stone Bricks” in this pile would not be less than thirty thousand standard units.
Even though “Eternal Stone Bricks” are the most common among super-strategic level resources, their value is obviously unimaginable.
Keep in mind, they can infinitely enhance the ship strength of the “Torch Warship” and can slightly improve the self-healing ability of the warship. For a Torch Warship, this is equivalent to an infinitely upgradeable component with no upper limit. The more Eternal Stone Bricks invested, the stronger the enhanced Attributes.
In the end, Song Chi and the other four each received 4,000 pieces, and the remaining over ten thousand pieces were sent back to the Dragon Spine Continent. Some were given to Song Shixing, and the rest was placed in the “Merit Tower” for the clan members to exchange at their discretion in the future.
This was just a small interlude, and the subsequent inventory taking continued.
Not to mention other things, after the statistics, this time two pieces of Golden Oddity were collected, both of which can be converted into ship components. However, one is Warship Armor and the other is an Energy Shield. Song Wujiang, Song Chi, and Song Yan do not need either, so they were allocated to Song Shiyuan, Song Shixing, and Song Xingru.
Besides, there were more Silver Oddities, nearly twenty pieces, of which eight cannot be converted into ship components. All were given to Song Chi, which results in the number of Silver Oddities stored in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market exceeding 40 once again.
…
“Only those idiots among the Eight-Armed Snake Demons could do something like this, truly a waste of heavenly resources.”
Suddenly, Song Xingru’s irritable rant sounded in the group chat, immediately catching everyone’s attention.
But once everyone understood the context of the situation, their eyes twitched madly, sharing a deep sense of agreement.
In Song Xingru’s hand were three special, spherical, glittering mineral crystals.
However, these three were not any kind of Starry Sea minerals, but extremely rare mineral cores.
They should have been situated deep within the cores of the mineral veins, but had been barbarically dug out by those Eight-Armed Snake Demons.
Keep in mind, a mineral core can only exert all its effects when situated within the mineral vein where it was formed. Once excavated, even if it is sent back to the vein later, its ability to produce that type of vein will be greatly reduced.
“Can it be determined which types of mineral vein cores these are?”
“One Heavenly Qi Stone Vein Core, one Molten Copper Vein Core, and the most valuable one, a Titanium Crystal Vein Core!”
Upon hearing that there was a Titanium Crystal Vein Core, the sounds of cursing among the Song Family members in the group chat noticeably intensified.
Seconds later, after repeated confirmations from several members of the Song Family, it was finally determined that this Titanium Crystal Vein Core was from a top-level medium-sized Titanium Crystal Vein with no fewer than a million units. The initial recovery ratio is decent, reaching 10%, which means it can produce 100,000 Titanium Crystals annually without damage. For the Song Family currently in urgent need of Titanium Crystal, this is a godsend.
The pity is that this Titanium Crystal Vein Core has already been forcibly extracted. When integrating it back into a similar Titanium Crystal Vein, it’s uncertain how much of the recovery ratio can be retained.
“Forget it, even if it hadn’t been forcefully damaged, we wouldn’t be able to hold it in our own hands. This Poison Snake River System has nothing to do with us. Receiving this mineral core is good enough for now, but to transfer it, it needs to be grafted onto a similar-sized vein of the same type. We…”
Before Song Wujiang could continue, Song Xuancang, the Head of the Song Family, quickly interjected.
“Patriarch, rest assured, members of our clan have already identified more than one Titanium Crystal Vein under the Red Plate River System. If we can seize control of the Red Plate River System, we can attempt to integrate this mineral core at any time.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
“Let’s not rush, the situation is uncertain, and we cannot be sure we have the Red Plate River System in the bag. Let’s wait for further developments before making a decision.”
“Additionally, more attention needs to be given to the Robbing Wind Floating Land. When the Floating Land is relocated in the future, it must move together with the Dragon Spine Continent.”
“Understood!”
…
In the century that followed, the five members of the Song Family traversed multiple River Systems one after another, scavenging behind the frontline battles between various advancing fleets and the Eight-Armed Snake Demon civilization.
Adding it all up, they successfully scoured over ten pieces of Seventh Level Floating Land, collecting an overwhelming amount of resources.
This abnormal phenomenon was naturally noticed by the upper echelons of various fleets. However, the Song Family always selected the Eight-Armed Snake Demon civilization’s deep rear Floating Land that had yet to be occupied by the Torch Fleet. In a sense, this diverted some of the attention from the Eight-Armed Snake Demons, so the various fleets mostly turned a blind eye, effectively acquiescing to it.
