Chapter 754: Chapter 596: The Anomalous Region (Extra chapter for silver alliance leader Arain) (Fifth update)

“Are you questioning me? My scanning abilities are beyond doubt; I have spared no planet we’ve passed. I delved deeply into the surface features and topography of each, and found no resources whatsoever. Do you have a better idea?”

The Fake Creator·Swallower also seemed a bit irritated.

“Then this star sky must be too poor, what’s the point in searching anymore?”

“The problem is, there are indeed Titan Ruins here, you aren’t thinking of giving up, are you? You should know that advanced civilizations are rare, and the Titan Clan just happens to be one.”

The Fake Creator·Swallower spoke in a grave tone.

Su Mo’s expression changed for a while before he said helplessly, “Let’s keep looking.”

At this point, he could only stiffen his scalp and continue the search.

At the very least, he had taken this opportunity to fully understand the abilities of the Fake Creator·Swallower, which wasn’t too bad a deal.

“Let’s check out the area ahead, I’ve detected signs of Monster activity there. Moreover, that part of the region is rife with Meteorite Belts and is accompanied by strong interference, which might yield some gains.”

The Fake Creator·Swallower began to replan a navigation route in Su Mo’s mind.

“Are you planning to head towards a dangerous area?”

“Don’t you humans have a saying, ‘Without entering a tiger’s den, how can one obtain tiger cubs?'”

The Fake Creator·Swallower replied solemnly.

“I understand.”

Su Mo, operating the Gluttonous Mecha, flew in the direction pointed out by the Fake Creator·Swallower. In fact, Su Mo recognized the analysis of the Fake Creator·Swallower; after all, the more dangerous a place is, the higher the possible reward.

The next day, Su Mo controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to fly through the Meteorite Belt.

At this moment, the entire virtual operation interface experienced some interference, causing the visual feed to wobble.

“The interference is strong, the mecha’s built-in scanning equipment is somewhat affected.”

Su Mo said, somewhat surprised.

“Don’t rely on the mecha’s scanning device; I will share the holographic scan results of the surroundings with you.”

The Fake Creator·Swallower said, and then the holographic images surfaced in Su Mo’s mind.

The surroundings were dense with meteorites, but Su Mo could still clearly make out their positions.

Avoid collisions as much as possible!

Though the Gluttonous Mecha wasn’t afraid of collisions, over time, they would cause certain wear and tear to the outer armor.

Just then, Su Mo distinctly caught a glimpse of a Type II insect-like Monster shivering and hiding behind a meteorite on the right, seemingly instinctively fearing the Gluttonous Mecha.

Since the threat wasn’t serious, Su Mo didn’t bother with it.

“Where are we now in the Kativaro Star Sky?”

Su Mo asked while flying and conversing with the Fake Creator·Swallower.

“We’re almost out of the Kativaro Star Sky, otherwise the interference wouldn’t be this strong.”

The Fake Creator·Swallower replied in a grave voice.

“Eh? What’s that?”

Before Su Mo could finish his sentence, the entire mecha plunged into a gray, hazy area and began to shake violently.

“It’s dust crystals; you’re flying too fast. Prolonged exposure will cause certain damage to the mecha’s armor; deploy the AT field.”

The Fake Creator·Swallower reminded him.

Without a second word, Su Mo activated the AT field, shielding all impacts, and then controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to speed through the area.

Ever since he learned how expensive it was to maintain a fourth-generation mecha, he felt he should take better care of it to prevent any damage.

If he couldn’t get it reimbursed, paying for repairs out of his own pocket would be a crying shame.

In just over half an hour, Su Mo managed to pilot the Gluttonous Mecha through the dust-covered region, and then a sparse and ordinary starry sky appeared before him.

He, too, was somewhat disappointed.

He had thought that after rushing through this area, he would have discovered something.

Su Mo yawned, feeling a bit bored. Space exploration, after all, was mostly tedium.

The starry sky was so vast.

In fact, Su Mo’s exploration speed was remarkably fast. If it had been a formal exploration team, they would have needed to observe every planet, collect soil samples, and perform various evaluations.

To confirm a planet as a waste star would take at least a day or two, and the accuracy was still unreliable.

Mistakes were commonly made.

Therefore, Su Mo said to the Fake Owner·Devourer, “You keep an eye out.”

After speaking, Su Mo took out his phone to see if he could pick up a signal.

To his surprise, he found that within the interference zone, he could still receive the signal from the Star Ring Forum. Star Ring City was truly no ordinary marvel!

“The technology of Star Ring City is so strong, truly a coverage without dead angles.”

“What’s so surprising about that? If Star Ring City couldn’t manage even this much, it would have likely been destroyed long ago.”

The Fake Owner·Devourer replied coldly.

While browsing the forum, Su Mo chatted leisurely with the Fake Owner·Devourer, “Why do I feel like you are filled with hostility toward Star Ring City? No, more like an innate revulsion.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, the Fake Owner·Devourer fell silent, not answering him.

Su Mo realized that he might have touched a sensitive nerve of the Fake Owner·Devourer, so he did not press further.

At that moment, Su Mo suddenly spotted a post and his eyebrows twitched.

“High price for the sale of coordinates for various exploration fleets, serious buyers only.”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched continuously, the worst scenario had still come to pass. Sure enough, with a forest this big, all sorts of birds could be found, and there were indeed people daring enough to leak the coordinates of their own fleets.

He had a premonition that it wouldn’t be long before Spade and the others would probably issue many restrictions.

Nobody could guarantee that someone wouldn’t be foolish enough to do this.

It was at this moment that the Fake Owner·Devourer suddenly spoke up to warn him.

“Stop looking, something’s not right.”

Su Mo turned his attention back and noticed that the surrounding starry space inexplicably started displaying streaks similar to auroras.

The once sparse and normal starry sky had changed, and even the interference had vanished.

“It seems we’ve come to an incredible place. Are there any standard planets nearby?”

“Yes, I have found one. There is a standard planet in the distance that seems a bit fishy.”

The Fake Owner·Devourer replied with certainty.

“Then let’s hurry over.”

Su Mo’s heart leapt suddenly, silently hoping this wasn’t really a winning ticket.

“Hmm.”

The Fake Owner·Devourer replied in a deep tone.

More than an hour later, Su Mo piloted the Gluttonous Mecha and appeared above a grey and hazy planet. Looking down from space, the atmosphere of the entire grey planet was dotted with dark spots. These spots were intense updrafts, varying in size with the largest covering hundreds of kilometers. Inside, violent wind pressures raged that could easily tear apart ordinary armor.

And within these spots, blinding flashes lit up from time to time, like lightning.

Su Mo observed the planet carefully and said in a low voice, “This environment is exceptionally harsh.”

“You are mistaken, this is a semi-habitable star.”

The Fake Owner·Devourer gave an answer that left Su Mo astounded.
