Chapter 454: Abyssal Fallen Demon Coin, Spirit Court Guard

"Buzz——"

A sudden and strange sound woke Lu Yuan from his meditation.

Opening his eyes, Lu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

I saw that the originally bright and empty training room was now under a bright and dark red. In the middle of the room, a huge pale skull quietly emerged.

The skull also wore a black one-eyed blindfold on its face. When it saw Lu Yuan, it immediately let out a harsh laugh of "Jie Jie Jie".

"This is... a virtual image?!"

After a brief period of surprise, Lu Yuan soon discovered the truth about the red light and the skull, and his expression returned to calm.

Apart from scaring people, there is no real harm.

But the practice room was so messy that it was obviously impossible to continue practicing.

Lu Yuan turned around and walked out of the training room. Only when he left the door did he realize that there were also flashing red lights everywhere outside the training room, and there were also one-eyed skulls that suddenly appeared from somewhere from time to time.

The entire spacecraft's lighting and audio-visual systems seemed to have been completely occupied by these two things.

Listening to the countless strange laughter that came and went, and the seeping red light that dazzled people's eyes wherever they went, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Reach out and take out your personal terminal, tap the terminal screen.

"Lu Feng! Did you secretly use the spaceship's optical brain to watch the virus in the movie?!"

This shouting has a miraculous effect.

A few seconds passed after he finished shouting, and the red light and skull in front of Lu Yuan's eyes disappeared.

The interior of the spacecraft regained its original peace and tranquility.

Lu Yuan's face softened slightly and he turned around, facing Lu Feng who was standing in front of him expressionlessly.

The corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly when he looked at himself.

"What just happened?"

Lu Yuan seemed to have forgotten what he had said to Lu Feng before, and asked Lu Feng the reason with a natural look on his face.

Lu Feng took a breath and replied in a deep voice: "The spacecraft system was slightly attacked from outside, and a virus took the opportunity to be implanted. But it has been repaired now."

"External attack?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, "Who attacked us?"

Lu Feng looked into Lu Yuan's eyes and softly said two words.

"Star Thief."

"Star Thief?!"

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.

He was no stranger to the word.

Before setting off, he had done some homework on the various situations he might encounter during long-distance interstellar travel.

Among them, star thieves are one of the troubles that travelers in the starry sky least want to encounter and are most likely to encounter.

These extremely vicious starry sky desperadoes who lick blood from their blades are like jackals wandering in space. Once a passing spacecraft is targeted by them, it means that they are about to face endless troubles.

They will continue to carry out various attacks and harassment on the spacecraft, forcing the spacecraft to change its course.

Then it uses up the power of the spacecraft little by little, and when the time is right, it bites it hard.

Forcibly blast open the outer shell of the spacecraft, steal all valuable things in the spacecraft, capture all the people in the spacecraft and sell them as slaves, or kill them directly.

In the end, the entire spacecraft will be towed away by them and dismantled cleanly, leaving nothing behind.

Among the missing and damaged spacecraft statistics compiled by Duoling every year, those caused by encountering star thieves account for almost 70% of the total.

Lu Yuan initially wanted to go with the Yongri Chamber of Commerce's fleet. The main purpose was to prevent encountering star thieves.

A top-tier chamber of commerce fleet like the Yongri Chamber of Commerce would not dare to provoke the Star Thief Group, which has an average defense force.

Facts have proved that the first half of the journey was indeed safe and smooth, but I didn't expect that what was coming would eventually be inevitable. Just two days after leaving the Yongri Merchant Fleet, I encountered the Star Thieves.

Although he knew that the crisis was present, Lu Yuan was not too panicked.

He walked quickly to the observation deck of the spacecraft and looked out through the porthole.

I saw dozens of spaceships, including his, flying silently in the dark and silent starry sky.

Without exception, every spacecraft has an energy shield on its surface.

Other than that, everything was normal, nothing unusual, and Lu Yuan saw no trace of the spacecraft belonging to the Star Thief Group.

"You can't see them."

Lu Feng walked up to him and looked out of the boat with him.

“They are hiding in the dark and won’t come out for a while.

By invading the defenses of the surface system of the spacecraft, they tell you that they have targeted you, forcing you to open the protective cover and consume the energy of the spacecraft in advance.

This is their usual method."

Lu Yuan looked quietly towards the outside of the ship for a while, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "What did the people on the other ships say?"

After breaking away from the Yongri Chamber of Commerce fleet, their fleet became a new small group.

As far as Lu Yuan knows, this fleet now also has a core leader.

The rest of the fleet had paid him a certain fee in advance.

Now when something happens, the leader of the fleet has the responsibility to find a way to solve it.

"I have contacted them. The Amethyst Chamber of Commerce just asked us to open the protective shield and follow the team."

Lu Feng replied: "But they should have already called for reinforcements. What I'm more worried about now is"

Lu Feng frowned and said: "The Amethyst Chamber of Commerce may choose to temporarily change the route because of the star thieves. If this happens, we don't know how many days it will take to reach Lilva Star."

After Lu Yuan listened to Lu Feng's analysis, he nodded expressionlessly.

He is in a bad mood now.

Originally, he thought he would reach the destination in a few hours, but now because of the pirates, the time has suddenly become long and uncertain.

But he didn't have any good solution.

In this situation, he could only follow the main group.

If he left privately.

A small single-person spaceship like theirs would not fly far before being eaten by pirates without leaving even a bone.

"Although it is not a particularly low-probability event, I am so unlucky that I happened to encounter it on my first trip.

I still feel like there is a cuckoo around me.

Bad luck is always around me."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

In the following time, Lu Yuan didn't have the heart to continue practicing.

After thinking about it, he simply hid back in the practice room and took out the pile of messy things he bought in the Ellis Trade Square before.

Activate the [Supernatural Contact] skill on the [Mystic Scholar (Supernatural)] occupation panel, summon the gray vortex connected to the unknown, and then throw them into the vortex one by one.

"【Supernormal Contact】, experience value +1"

"【Supernormal Contact】, experience value +1"

Lu Yuan counted the skill experience value of 【Supernormal Contact】 on the occupation panel, which jumped up little by little, just to kill time.

Before, when he threw fruits into the vortex, every time he threw them, the guy on the other side of the vortex would give him a clean fruit core.

Now this pile of fragments is almost thrown away, but there is no reaction at all.

Oh, not really.

In the middle, Lu Yuan threw a few bottles of potions with unknown ingredients, unknown effects, and a bit of odor from which stall he didn't know from into the vortex.

A few wisps of green smoke came out of the vortex, which looked quite like the stinky farts released after eating a stomachache

"Swoosh——"

A bunch of things were about to be sacrificed, and Lu Yuan casually grabbed a black and hard thing, not sure whether it was a bone or a stone, and gently threw it into the gray vortex.

After this "sacrifice", his [Supernormal Contact] has been upgraded to level 2, and the professional experience of [Mystical Scholar (Supernormal)] has also increased a little, and it is not far from upgrading to the next level.

Just thinking about it, the gray vortex in front of him gradually shrank.

Lu Yuan was just about to seamlessly carry out the next round of summoning and sacrifice.

But at this moment.

"Puff--"

Just like the sound of someone eating watermelon and spitting out seeds, at the moment when the gray vortex was about to disappear, a bright object suddenly flew out of the vortex.

"Dingdong" fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Lu Yuan's action of grabbing the next sacrifice was immediately frozen, and the whole person was stunned, looking at the "returned object" that appeared unexpectedly and without any signs, and a strange expression gradually appeared on his face.

Reaching out, he gently picked up the thing that fell on the ground.

Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe this thing.

It looked like a shoddy little gadget.

It was about the size of two fingernails. It was made of some unknown metal. It was dark yellow in color and a little hot to the touch. It even smelled like a faint sulfur-like pungent smell.

The shape of this metal piece was crooked and irregular. One side was smooth, bright and clean.

The other side was printed with a pattern.

It was a strange creature with thin arms and legs but a large and round body.

It had a big mouth, revealing a mouthful of fine and sharp teeth.

It looked weird, strange, and a little funny and ridiculous.

"Hehehe——"

Lu Yuan was looking at the metal piece in his hand when he suddenly heard a strange and evil laugh.

"Who?!"

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked around.

At first, he thought it was a pirate attacking the spacecraft system again.

But after a check, he found that

this evil and weird laugh seemed to come from the strange metal piece in his hand.

Lu Yuan tried a few more times.

Sure enough, as long as he took the metal piece in his hand and gently rubbed the side with the strange creature pattern, he could hear a weird laugh.

This laughter was sharp and piercing, which matched the image of the strange creature with a big belly and thin legs on the metal piece.

"What did I just throw into the vortex?"

Lu Yuan stared at the metal piece in his hand and recalled the process of his last sacrifice.

If he remembered correctly, he threw a piece of "fossil" bought from the old man Qiqino's stall into the gray vortex.

Not sure.

I guess Qiqino himself didn't know.

I just didn't expect that after that small piece of thing was sacrificed to the vortex, something would be returned!

This was Lu Yuan's first time, a true "successful sacrifice".

"The question is what is the specific use of this thing?"

Lu Yuan looked at the strange metal piece in his hand and pondered: "It can make a weird laugh, obviously it is not an ordinary thing, at least it is an extraordinary item.

By the way, I almost forgot that I still have that skill!"

Lu Yuan tapped his forehead.

[Mystic Scholar (Super)] has three basic professional skills on the professional panel.

In addition to [Chaos Divination] and [Super Contact], there is also [Mystic Perception]. Isn't it used to deal with the current situation?

"I haven't used it for so long that I almost forgot that I have this skill.

Let's try it."

Lu Yuan grabbed the metal piece in his hand and tried to activate [Mystic Perception].

The moment the skill was activated, the metal piece in his hand seemed to suddenly heat up.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of information was fed back to Lu Yuan's mind——

[The abyss coin that sealed the Sinking Demon. 】

[Throw it, and you have a chance to break the seal and summon the greedy and perverted demon in the coin.

ps: If it is in a good mood, it may help you once. 】

"Abyss Coin. Sinking Demon."

"So the weird creature printed on this coin is the so-called Abyss Sinking Demon?

Can you flip a coin to summon it? "

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, feeling incredible.

The first successful contact with [Extraordinary Contact] actually allowed me to obtain such a prop.

It seems to be quite useful, and it can be used as a temporary thug at critical moments.

But it seems that there are quite a lot of uncertainties.

If you are unlucky, what you summon may not be a thug, but an opponent who is trying to kill you.

“Let’s see if we find a chance to use it anytime.”

Lu Yuan didn't intend to keep this thing around for too long.

Abyss, devil. These words, coupled with the effect of using this fallen demon coin.

It looks like a restless time bomb that might explode at some point.

However, the acquisition of this Sinking Demon Coin made Lu Yuan suddenly ignited a strong enthusiasm for the skill [Transcendent Contact].

If it succeeds once, there will be a second and third time

Use some worthless "junk" in exchange for some weird props that may come in handy.

It's definitely a great deal.

"Also, what is the abyss?

Next time you enter the Crow Dreamland, ask the Crow God to see if she knows."

Lu Yuan gently played with the Sinking Demon Coin in his hand and thought casually.

I was just about to sacrifice all the remaining items to see if I could get lucky again.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the training room.

Lu Yuan quickly put away the coins with a look on his face, then opened the door and strode out.

Lu Feng stood outside the door, looking at him calmly.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"Good news."

Lu Feng replied: "It won't be long before we can reach Planet Lilva smoothly."

"Um?!"

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, but more of a surprise. He couldn't help but say: "The star was stolen?"

"Um."

Lu Feng nodded.

"I left temporarily and won't be back for a while."

"Why?"

Lu Yuan was curious.

Lu Feng did not explain, but just led him towards the observation platform.

Arriving at the observation platform, through the porthole, Lu Yuan saw the scene outside the spacecraft at this time.

At the front of their fleet, a silver-white spaceship was seen occupying the leader's position.

With sharp eyes, Lu Yuan noticed that there was a silver-white mecha hovering on top of the spacecraft.

It looks quite huge, and its body is silver-white.

It has a pair of unfolded white metal wings and a long tail like a lizard.

The mecha was exuding a bright white light. In the dark and silent night sky, it gave people an inexplicable sense of being high, majestic and sacred.

"It's the Lingting Guard."

Lu Feng's voice sounded low in his ears.

"The person who controls this mecha represents Duoling's supreme will in this starry sky.

We are very lucky. There happens to be a Lingting Guard accompanying this fleet.

With a fleet guarded by Spirit Court Guards, even the most innocent star thief must carefully consider whether he can afford to offend him before taking action."
