Chapter 1754: The awkwardness of breaking trust
The madness of the digital phantom did not last long, less than two hours.
The space was still chaotic, but there was no longer any formed Asura nest.
Qing Hu relied on his strong defense and went out of the cabin again to collect Ashura's remains.
Those non-combat starships also gradually left the mother nest and began scientific research.
The Combined Fleet proactively sent a communication to Digital Phantom, "What should we do now?"
Before the battle just now, they would not be so humble, even though they knew that their professionalism could not match that of Digital Phantom.
But they insisted on fighting this battle and almost got their entire army wiped out.
If it wasn’t for the last moment, Digital Phantom would have revealed his cards again - why does this “again” sound so familiar?
In any case, if it weren't for the Digital Phantom's backup, this fleet would have been wiped out with a high probability.
So whether you admit it or not, Digital Phantom is really a stabilizing force, so it is not surprising to ask for instructions on the task.
This is a very normal psychological transformation.
Flower Scorpion's answer was still calm, "Be on guard and prevent Asura from coming back to help... and taking over the body."
The Combined Fleet excitedly accepted the mission.
No matter how absurd their previous attempts had been, there was no doubt that this time they had blocked the passage for the aliens to enter and exit!
How many Asura nests are there in the current federation?
The exact number is hard to pin down, but there is no doubt that there are around fifty or sixty of them.
Generally speaking, an Asura mother nest and its subsidiaries, plus those messy bats, can at least tie up two reorganized divisions.
Currently, there are at least one hundred divisions used for defense on the Federation Asura front.
A lot? Not really. People say that the number of troops used for defense should be even smaller, but that is not the case.
In the era of space warfare that emphasizes mobility, the defense is the side under greater pressure.
In any case, the combined fleet's raid cut off the retreat of the massive invading Ashura Corps.
The significance of this alone is immeasurable, and we can never be too happy.
As for the rumor that the Digital Phantom had occupied the entrance before? Don't make a fuss, that was unofficial and cannot be counted.
Unless Digital Phantom is willing to actively promote it, the other two Guojias will not be able to deny it due to their identities and strengths.
But now that you have given up on promoting yourself, can you still blame others for stealing your credit?
In any case, the Combined Fleet not only achieved its goal, but also got a big bargain. Is there any problem with just being on guard?
If there are people responsible for guarding, there will naturally be people responsible for surveying.
This is the location where two big worlds are connected. There is too much related survey content and it cannot be finished...it really cannot be finished!
At the beginning of the survey, the people of the Federation almost fell out with the people of the Empire in order to seize important survey points.
Please make it clear to you that this is federal territory and not just anyone can run wild here!
What, we are the combined fleet, and we have people from Digital Phantom here?
Oh, that's okay. We just saw the first-hand information and couldn't help ourselves, so we subconsciously wanted to protect the information.
The people from Digital Phantom didn't react much. They just put away the broken mother nest and released the previous one.
Although it has not been fully warmed up yet, there are basically no major problems.
In fact, the team members were also very relaxed - the boss was fine.
As for the data at the entrance of the channel...we have all been to the Asura world, so why should we care about this data?
Of course, there are people who have never entered the Asura world, such as Rhine... She came too late.
She was looking at Bentley now, "This time...should we go in and take a look across?"
"That depends on what the boss wants," Bentley replied expressionlessly.
He is really a straight man. "If the boss doesn't go, then I will be the only one to go with you. It's almost like committing suicide."
"Boss..." Rhine hesitated and asked, "Is he worried about something?"
"It's not a worry..." Bentley shook his head. Although he is a straight man, his perception is not bad.
He knew that there had been some changes in the team recently, and he also knew where the source was.
So he sighed, "Just do your own thing and be careful not to be possessed."
He was muttering in his heart, this artificial intelligence... I don’t know what’s going on now?
While everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, Qu Jianlei began to ask Xiaohu what had happened in the past three years.
As for the current situation of the Skyhook Maze, he put it aside for the time being.
However, Xiaohu took the initiative to bring it up, because in the past three years, it has been fighting wits and courage with the spirit of the weapon.
Before the transformation of the cave was completed, the two of them got along pretty well.
But after the upgrade was completed, the spirit of the weapon forced Xiao Hu to serve it for fifty years.
In Xiaohu's opinion, after the transformation, the spirit of the weapon's mentality has indeed changed, and it no longer wants to find a master for itself.
The cave that could not be moved before made the spirit of the weapon feel a strong sense of crisis.
For example, it has been worried about being besieged by alien races. Although the cave has extremely strong defenses, who can bear to be beaten without fighting back?
However, after solving the problem of movement, the spirit of the weapon suddenly realized that being controlled by others was not a good feeling.
It had no prejudice against Qu Jianlei and others. Instead, it was a little embarrassed to see them.
So it just asked Xiaohu to help it continue to improve the cave, gave a time limit, and promised a reward.
Even if Xiaohu's clone is unwilling, he will not take the initiative to destroy himself - there is really no need.
After the weapon spirit left Tianfeng Star, it did have plans to devour the dark red star.
However, it also knew that the wealth originally belonged to Digital Phantom and could only be taken away secretly.
Although the cave has been renovated, it is still far inferior to the sunset in terms of air-penetrating ability.
Moreover, the weapon spirit has a strong sense of crisis, and even if it has a large number of energy blocks, it is unwilling to use them easily.
So most of the time, it chooses to sneak through the cargo hold, which it heard from Qu Jianlei.
If it wants to sneak across the river safely, it needs the help of Xiaohu's clone.
It was because Xiaohu left the cave that he realized that his main body had actually disappeared.
Fortunately, this clone of its needs to be very proactive in order to maintain the operation of the cave, and has basically retained all its memories.
In addition, it has left a lot of intelligence fragments in the imperial military, and it can absorb some of them to replenish itself.
Ever since Xiao Hu knew that his clone was preserved thanks to the shielding of the cave, he no longer had any resistance to the spirit of the weapon.
Later, the two of them went to the dark red planet, and Xiaohu discovered that Dogan's clone was in charge there.
The spirit of the weapon originally felt a little guilty about devouring the star, but it was just a necessity for its growth.
Knowing that the Digital Phantom was guarded by someone, it felt embarrassed to force its way through - if it did that, it would really offend that person.
It can only leave in disappointment and then try to collect energy blocks to solve future energy problems.
However, this operation still requires the help of Xiaohu's clone.
But Xiaohu said that the boss had restricted it and it was not allowed to steal other people's property at will.
It can operate the energy stone mine under the name of Digital Phantom, but... the spirit of the weapon is embarrassed to do it.
——People provided it with massive resources, but it left without saying goodbye, which is an act of breach of trust.
If it weren't for the name of "yearning for freedom", this would really be a serious cause and effect.
If you attack Digital Phantom's property again, not only will you face severe retaliation, but you will also be unable to bear the consequences of natural causes.
So the spirit of the weapon discovered sadly that even though it still had a large number of energy blocks, they were literally one less each time it was used.
No one likes the feeling of living beyond one's means.
Afterwards, Xiao Hu connected with some starships of Digital Phantom and received a new message - there is spiritual energy in the Asura world!
This information almost made the spirit of the weapon depressed: If it had known that there was spiritual energy, why would it go back on its word?
So this time, it simply quietly boarded the empire's scientific research ship.
At first, it didn't want Xiaohu to come into contact with the Digital Phantom, but after seeing the power of the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle, it was really shaken.
A magical weapon of this power is enough to protect its safety.
But if this kind of magic weapon is used on it, it will definitely not be a good experience.
However, it still has no good way to resolve the grievances between the two sides.
Until just now, it found that Qu Jianlei was going to fight to the death, so it realized that this was the best time to ease the relationship with him.
It took the initiative to release Xiaohu's clone, and Xiaohu returned immediately.
"Skyhook Maze..." Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's just call it a day."
He has always been brooding over the spirit's breach of trust.
However, considering that the other party protected the lake, the matter was forgotten.
The big-headed butterfly turned around and said, "It wants to continue to fulfill its previous agreement, Boss..."
"Doesn't it want freedom?" Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "Let's part ways amicably. I don't want the previous investment anymore."
What does it mean to be unfaithful once and never use it again? This is it. He doesn't want the huge amount of effort he has put in before.
Anyway, he got Xiaohu back to life, so he didn't lose money from this deal!
"People go to high places, and water flows to low places," Big-headed Butterfly also tried to persuade the boss.
"Isn't it a good thing that it has its own pursuits?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more."
He knew that Maze was currently hiding in the fleet, but he didn't want to ask more.
Xiao Hu's timely return just now certainly helped him a lot, but wasn't it also Mi Fu's self-rescue?
If the fleet is completely wiped out, how long can the cave dwelling hold out under the attack of the out-of-body Asura?
Moreover, given the characteristics of the cave, there is a 99% chance that it will become nourishment for the Asura's lair.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to talk about this anymore, but instead asked about Xiaohu's situation.
"Why is your image a lot blurry this time? Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know either," the big-headed butterfly turned around twice, "It feels more like it's because of your sea of consciousness."
