Honkai Star Rail: But I can touch Castorice
Chapter 202: Departure, Action Begins!
"Wait two days, I'll find an opportunity to leave the Lofu Xianzhou. At that time, you'll lead the way for us. Remember not to expose my identity." Derick said to Moldu.
"Understood, understood." Moldu nodded repeatedly.
He guessed in his heart that Derick intended to be both the Borisin War Chief and a Xianzhou military officer. For this kind of double-dealing behavior, Moldu naturally strongly supported it.
Playing both sides would allow the Borisin to maximize their benefits.
Moreover, this would also prove Derick's greed. Moldu believed that as long as his inner desires were great enough, he would inevitably become a true Borisin.
Derick prepared to leave, and before doing so, he didn't forget to remind Moldu: "Alright, you continue to hide. Also, during this period, you must continue to endure and not hunt for any blood sacrifice."
"Understood, understood, you can rest assured."
Even without Derick's reminder, Moldu wouldn't cause trouble at this time. He was truly afraid, worried that next time he might encounter someone like Yanqing again. The Lofu Xianzhou was truly too dangerous; not eating blood sacrifice for a few days was no big deal.
A few days later, Derick, yawning, came to find Moldu.
And behind him, "Castorice", Cipher, and Polyxia also followed.
During these past few days, Cipher had continuously helped Jingliu with her disguise. Now, even the least similar aspects of their demeanor showed little difference; unfamiliar people wouldn't be able to spot any issues.
"Derick, your sleep has been a bit poor these past few days, huh?" As they walked, Cipher complained to Derick.
Derick was about to say something, but then swallowed it.
It wasn't just that his sleep was a bit poor; he wasn't allowed to sleep at all. Because they were about to part ways, especially with Cipher going, if she wasn't, Castorice naturally wanted to thoroughly drain Derick's energy, to prevent anything from happening between him and Cipher.
Actually, Castorice alone would have been fine. The problem was that there was also that unscrupulous teacher who, every day, under the guise of "sparring," would drag him into small rooms for intimate sessions. Feixiao's physique was far more formidable than Castorice's.
Fortunately, Derick had enough Fecundity and Abundance energy in his body; otherwise, let alone going to the Borisin's side, he'd probably have a memorial service held for him on the Lofu Xianzhou these past few days.
They arrived at the location where Moldu was hidden.
Moldu immediately appeared before Derick.
"Lord Derick!" he first shouted happily. Then, looking at Cipher, Polyxia, and Jingliu disguised as Castorice behind Derick, he couldn't help but step back in fear.
"This, this is..."
Derick said to Moldu: "Don't worry, these are all my companions. They naturally need to come with me when we go to the Borisin's side."
"Oh, I see, so that's how it is." Moldu saw that Cipher and the others had no intention of attacking, and only then did he relax.
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself that this new Borisin War Chief truly liked beautiful maidens. But that was good too; as long as his desires were great enough, the Borisin could satisfy him.
"And knowing this weakness of his, it's also convenient for me to subtly influence him," Moldu thought to himself.
Having a rough impression of Derick's strength, he knew it was impossible for him to tear open Derick's chest and take the Crimson Moon. Since he couldn't become the Borisin War Chief, he could only become a subordinate by the side of the Borisin War Chief. Derick liked beautiful Foxian maidens, which made it convenient for him to curry favor and thus profit from being near him.
As for Polyxia's apparent disability, he merely glanced at it without any intention of underestimating her. Disguising oneself as disabled to attack others could only be done once. After that battle, most people aware of the Xianzhou situation knew that Polyxia was now disabled, but she could transform into a giant dragon form at any time, freely shifting.
"Derick, see how great it is to go to the Borisin's side? I've always wanted to be a famous thief in the universe, but you said there were restrictions here on the Xianzhou. Once we get to the Borisin's side, won't I be free to be a thief?" Cipher said, patting Derick's shoulder.
"Whatever you want," Derick said indifferently.
Moldu quickly said: "Madam, rest assured, we Borisin specialize in such matters. Once we get there, you can freely lead the Borisin to plunder planets."
We're not afraid of you doing bad things; the more bad things you do, the better.
Cipher nodded excitedly, though her eyes were filled with disdain. "What you call plundering has no technical skill whatsoever. I'm going to be a famous thief, and I do work that requires technical skill."
"Let's go, I've already arranged the starship, we can leave Luofu directly." Derick said to Moldu. As he spoke, he threw a large pile of luggage to Moldu.
"Here, help me carry these bags."
"Alright, alright..." Moldu felt the heavy luggage and nodded, gritting his teeth.
Derick and the others moved easily, while Moldu, trailing behind, struggled to walk, burdened by a pile of bags.
Upon reaching the port, the starship was already waiting. The group then walked inside the starship. The entire route had been arranged by Jing Yuan, and no one came to interrogate them. After boarding the starship, the few of them very smoothly began flying towards outer space.
When boarding the starship, Moldu still couldn't fully trust Derick; his entire mind was in a tense state.
It wasn't until the starship left the Lofu Xianzhou that Moldu finally relaxed slightly.
At this moment, Derick looked at Moldu.
"Where should we go next, Moldu? You lead the way."
"Yes, Lord Derick."
Hearing Derick say this, Moldu quickly went to Derick's side to guide the direction forward.
While holding a star map and marking the direction, Moldu said, "Our beast ship isn't many light-years from here; it won't take long to reach..."
The primary vessels the Borisin use for interstellar travel are beast ships. These are bio-ships with the abilities to feed, attack, and reproduce. Compared to ordinary vessels, beast ships are easy to maintain and cultivate, and in times of crisis, they are not inedible, just not very tasty.
They are considered quite good cosmic vessels.
Derick also wanted to see what this beast ship looked like.
After flying for a distance, the starship arrived at the back side of a planet. And on the back side of this planet, a colossal beast ship was docked.
The beast ship's appearance, how to describe it? It truly looked a bit strange, with a streamlined body, but with various bizarre organs growing on it. Placed among civilizations that hadn't yet reached the interstellar age, the design of this beast ship could be considered a terrifying existence capable of draining one's sanity.
"Anyone who can eat this thing truly has a good appetite."
Derick recalled the taste of beast ships recorded by the Xianzhou Alliance, and couldn't help but inwardly gag.
"Will it be as disgusting on the inside as it is on the outside?" Cipher said with a look of disgust.
She was very particular about cleanliness.
Moldu quickly said from the side: "No, no, the inside of the beast ship is very clean."
Derick and the others, half-believing, steered the starship towards the interior of the beast ship.
Upon entering, Moldu had already contacted the Borisin inside the beast ship. As the starship arrived before the beast ship, the beast ship opened wide and absorbed the starship carrying Derick inside.
Once inside, Derick and the others felt much more refreshed.
The Borisin appeared ferocious, but in reality, their civilization and technology were quite advanced. The interior of the beast ship was arranged similarly to a normal cosmic vessel. The smell wasn't the stench of biological matter, but rather a relatively fresh scent.
However, a closer inspection would reveal that these arrangements were still composed of the beast ship's internal flesh and blood.
Upon reaching their destination, Derick and the others disembarked. Immediately, dozens of Borisin appeared.
"Moldu, are these the gifts you brought?"
"A few fresh pieces of flesh and blood, they smell quite good."
Hearing him speak, Derick's expression turned slightly cold. He instantly appeared before him, lightly moving his feet to get above his head, and extended his hand, pressing him down onto the ground.
Then Derick unleashed the power of the Crimson Moon, devouring this Borisin. After consuming it, his face revealed a satisfied expression.
The other Borisin saw this situation; a few who were unwilling to comply, just as they were about to make a move, were noticed by Derick. Lightly shifting his steps, as if teleporting, he appeared before them and extended his hand, knocking down these Borisin.
And he unleashed the Crimson Moon's devouring technique to consume these Borisin.
The other Borisin, seeing this scene, immediately choked like cicadas.
Derick turned his gaze to Moldu, "Indeed, your Borisin's devouring method truly feels very comfortable."
"Haha, as long as you like it, Lord Derick."
Moldu said happily.
As long as Derick started devouring, he would inevitably fall.
As for whether he ate other species in the universe or fellow Borisin, Moldu didn't care. Even between parents and children, the Borisin's emotions weren't that deep, let alone merely kin.
Moldu looked at the other Borisin and proudly declared: "Lord Derick tore open the previous War Chief Hoolay and obtained the Borisin's sacred relic, becoming the new War Chief. From now on, if any of you disrespect Lord Derick, you will face the same fate as these individuals!"
A few other Borisin were still somewhat unwilling.
Seeing this situation, Derick immediately rushed to several Borisin, extended his arm, and completely subdued and devoured them.
"Now, do any of you still have an opinion?" Derick asked again.
"No, none at all."
At this point, all the Borisin before him were completely convinced and submissive.
They even felt it was only natural.
That's right, this is the attitude a Borisin War Chief should have.
Within the Borisin tribe, there is no such thing as politics or struggle; only the strong survive. Whoever has the greatest power has their words carry weight.
Moldu watched Derick's actions from the side, a look of joy in his eyes. He had previously thought Derick would need some time to adapt to the Borisin civilization, but now it seemed Derick had already adapted very well to the Borisin's way of dealing with problems.
He could now be considered to have brought a powerful War Chief to the Borisin.
