Chapter 1818: Don’t cheat people (Third update, please guarantee the minimum monthly ticket)
When the colorful ball of light first appeared, it seemed extremely blurry, but as the sub-nest approached, it gradually became clearer.
After moving forward for a while, the ball of light became much brighter.
From this we can see that the existence of the light ball itself is very powerful, but due to various reasons, it can only be observed by outsiders at close range.
This is also consistent with what the previous explorer said.
When it approached about 500 kilometers, the light ball had reached a "dazzling" level.
The colorful lights kept flowing, even making people feel intoxicated.
At the same time, the pressure on the sub-nest was also increasing. As they continued to move forward, a sense of obstruction arose in front of them, which gradually grew stronger.
"We're almost there," Iron Snake said quietly, "The last expedition team encountered Baoguang and was annihilated here."
The expedition team led by the four supreme beings boarded an extremely powerful starship, which was specially customized at a huge cost.
It is said that its defense is even stronger than that of a regimental-class ship. Although as a civilian starship, its firepower is a little lacking, it is most suitable for adventure.
"Baoguang..." The paranoid man smiled indifferently, "I think the possibility of energy ejection is a little greater."
The sub-nest has no observation instruments and cannot accurately describe the level of pressure it is currently experiencing.
However, it can be concluded that the impact intensity of external energy is probably close to the defense limit of the division-level ship.
As the nest continues to advance, the pressure and resistance continue to increase.
Jing Yuexin warned again, "Boss, the energy consumption is increasing."
Qu Jianlei frowned and said nothing. He was communicating quickly with Xiaohu.
The big-headed butterfly is unable to accurately define the energy intensity outside and can only roughly analyze and estimate it through observation.
"The pressure index increased without any regular pattern. Instead, it was a bit like... a staircase with ups and downs."
"Based on our analysis, we can't even rule out the possibility that it's a password."
"The energy index changes to transmit the password..." Qu Jianlei frowned and thought, "Is there such a coquettish operation?"
"The code formed by exponential changes?" Jiao Daoren heard his mumbling and even understood it.
"Are you sure... it's not a formation?"
"Formation?" Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu were both stunned when they heard it. Could it be explained this way?
But the next moment, the big-headed butterfly started to spin excitedly, "Then let's... launch an attack and give it a try?"
This suggestion is definitely not something a human could come up with!
The energy is already extremely chaotic, and at present we can only say that it is in a delicate balance in a chaotic and disordered state.
And this ball of light is obviously not a good person, it actually... wants to launch an attack?
However, Xiaohu was not originally considered a human being, so the formation could indeed be tested in this way.
Anyway, you have other clones! Qu Jianlei curled his lips.
But he was indeed a little hesitant: Should he ask for divination?
Just as he hesitated, the nest began to tremble slightly.
Jing Yuexin's alarm came again, "The defense capability of the sub-nest has reached its limit."
"Retreat first," Qu Jianlei ordered without hesitation, "wait for observation and analysis."
To get this close has indeed cost us a lot, but we cannot be reluctant to take blind risks because of the sunk costs.
The sub-nest is slowly retreating, but the decrease in pressure intensity is much slower than the increase when approaching.
"Inertial rejection causes the energy to decrease slowly," the big-headed butterfly turned its body, "the probability of the existence of a formation increases!"
In this case, the sub-nest simply retreated a little further, and finally exceeded a thousand kilometers.
However, although the colorful light had weakened to the point where it was almost invisible, the pressure was still greater than before.
At this moment, the others also learned some of the news. Iron Snake couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder it's so hard to find."
You may be able to find it by chance the first time, but when you leave it will be pushed further away, which is obviously not conducive to the second search.
Qu Jianlei inexplicably thought of "Peach Blossom Spring", "Is it 'lost and unable to find the way'?"
Then he made another decision, "Move sideways. We can't retreat anymore, otherwise we won't be able to lock the coordinates."
The data observed here is highly misleading and can even be said to be hallucinogenic.
If this ball of light is out of observation, it will be very difficult to find it again next time.
Everyone was aware of this, so they controlled the sub-nest and began to move horizontally.
Under the premise of maintaining the minimum lock on the light ball, the sub-nest moved irregularly for about half a day, and the pressure gradually eased.
Qu Jianlei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then called together most of the members to discuss how to deal with the situation.
Buckingham and the other three supreme leaders were in attendance and could offer suggestions, but they were mainly there to listen.
But even so, it was a very rare experience for the three of them.
Throughout human society, no one has ever seen so many digital phantom members at one time.
Of course, they didn't dare to ask about the identities of the specific members, and no one would introduce them.
Qu Jianlei explained the general situation and raised the question: should we launch a trial attack?
If this solution is not feasible, do you have any other suggestions?
Buckingham and the other two were almost stupefied after hearing this: Are you sure you are not seeking death by launching an attack in such an environment?
Then they heard an extremely shocking concept - divination!
There are legends about the divination technique of the Divine Text system in the three countries, and the Divine Text Society of the Empire is also said to be researching it.
But it was the first time in their lives that they had heard for sure that someone was able to tell fortunes.
The members of Digital Phantom all thought that since they had already stepped back and were not in a hurry to enter, it would be okay for the boss to do divination once.
Anyway, you have found the place, it's just a matter of spending a little more time, so don't take any risks.
In addition, the three foreign supreme beings heard another word: formation!
They were not unfamiliar with formations, but the opposing team not only guessed that the ball of light was a formation, they also suggested setting up a formation to counter it!
A formation that can counter other formations... Buckingham almost popped his eyes out when he heard this suggestion.
Has Digital Phantom’s understanding of the divine text system reached this level?
In fact, this suggestion is not outrageous. Both Jiao Daoren and Yi He have dabbled in battle formations, and the former's attainments are not low.
But after hearing this suggestion, the elder of the Beast Taming Sect could only smile bitterly, "You really think highly of me... The key is that we don't have enough materials."
In other words, he still has some ideas, but the lack of materials is a major flaw.
After three hours of discussion, everyone finally decided on the corresponding regulations.
First, Qu Jianlei turned and left, then came back soon after and told everyone... that they could launch an attack.
However, this attack cannot be launched from the sub-nest, but must be launched from other directions.
In other words: attacks will inevitably be met with counterattacks, and they will be targeted.
If we continue to expand the analysis, this ball of colorful light is most likely... an array set up by immortal cultivators.
The result of the divination not only shocked everyone, but also made the three foreign supreme beings tremble with fear.
The facts are already before them: behind the formation, there may really be enormous wealth.
However, this wealth was so great that even the three supreme beings could hardly bear it.
The three of them knew very well that Digital Phantom’s reputation was indeed good, but this was... a wealth that even immortal cultivators had to use formations to protect!
And there is no doubt that this formation has been in operation for at least thousands of years. Not only can it still be used, but it is also extremely powerful.
So...is it easy to find the treasure inside?
The three of them exchanged glances, and finally Iron Snake and Nelson locked their eyes on Buckingham: It's up to you to do it.
There's nothing you can do, it's just that you have a deep friendship with the other person.
However, the next moment, they heard Jing Yuexin's voice, "Boss, are you... okay?"
There was a hint of fatigue in Qu Jianlei's eyes. He smiled and said, "It's okay. It will be fine after two days."
Buckingham moved his lips towards his two companions and silently uttered two words, "Backlash!"
As someone with an academic background, he had heard rumors that divination could lead to backlash.
But those are all legends. It is not easy for him to remember them at the first moment.
Iron Snake and Nelson's brains were also sufficient. They were stunned at first, and then their faces turned pale: big trouble.
But now the other side’s boss is injured, and it’s not even convenient for them to communicate in time!
Now that Qu Jianlei has predicted the result, the next step is to execute it.
But before executing it, everyone first set up a Qi gathering formation on the warship and began to rest.
There is no need to build a spirit gathering array. As long as you can enter the cave, there are plenty of spirit gathering arrays inside.
The Qi gathering array in the battleship was mainly used as a demonstration for the three supreme beings to rest and recuperate.
This behavior is not considered extravagant. After all, as the supreme being, he also needs to rest during the exploration.
As long as there is a way and the space on the starship is large enough, carrying a set of energy gathering array with you is not a big problem.
But these three really cannot cultivate to the heart—they know too many secrets, and they are too big!
After resting for seven or eight days, Iron Snake finally got a chance and stopped the paranoid, "Sir, I have something to discuss with you."
"You finally can't help it?" The paranoid man looked at him with a half-smile, "Go ahead."
Iron Snake's face straightened, "The three of us sincerely want to join your team, but we don't know what the price is!"
"You think too much," the paranoid man couldn't help but laugh, "I thought the most you wanted to do was give up the expedition!"
"We at Digital Phantom never cheat anyone, and you will get a reasonable return, but if you want to take this opportunity to join us..."
He paused, shook his head and said, "Isn't this too greedy?"
Iron Snake was hit on the heart by this, but he had no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, he answered very straightforwardly, "Isn't this just a way of retreating by advancing?"
"But to be honest, I really want to join you... and so do the two of them."
The paranoid man shook his head and said, "If you had had this idea in Yunwu Mountain, it might have worked, but it's too late now."
Iron Snake gave a helpless smile, "How could I have known that at the time?"
