Chapter 485: Fire of Greed

"Crack--"

Under the fierce battle of the mecha battlefield, a cave wall with a dark green luster suddenly cracked to both sides, revealing a huge exit.

A team of tall men in fully armed gray combat uniforms pushed large boxes out quickly.

The group of people behind Lord Gem automatically split into two teams and quickly piled up the huge dark boxes in their hands on the open space in front of Lord Gem.

They were so many and moved so fast that they piled up the black boxes into two towering walls in the field in less than half a minute.

A rough scan showed that there were probably no less than a thousand boxes.

The people who were fighting fiercely in the field were more or less attracted by the unusual movements below, and many people looked alert, but before they could find out what was in these numerous black boxes.

"Boom!"

The two high walls of black boxes were suddenly overturned and collapsed.

In an instant, countless clear and transparent green crystals poured out like a torrent, rolling out mightily.

Along with the pleasant sound of crystals colliding, a huge and extremely rich life energy escaped.

Instantly, the air in a large area under the ruins cave was cleared.

Under the impact of this surging life breath, for a moment, everyone in the field felt as if they had come directly from the battlefield filled with gunpowder to the lush primitive jungle after the rain.

At this moment, all the star pirates were stunned.

Even Lu Yuan's mind was shocked.

He knew that the Lord of Gem had hidden a lot of life source ore, but he didn't expect there were so many.

These thousands of large boxes of several meters square, all together, contain thousands of tons of life source ore!

What he didn't expect was that the Lord of Gem actually dumped so much life source ore in front of everyone like dumping garbage.

A large amount of life source ore, hazy green fluorescence, and a life energy breath that was so rich that it almost made people feel choked, wave after wave of beating stimulated the nerves of all the star pirates present.

After a short silence,

A sudden high-pitched engine roar broke the silence.

This sound was like a switch.

The switch was turned on, and the pirates who were still in shock in the last second turned into afterimages in the next second, quickly broke away from the original battle group, and rushed madly towards the life source ore piled up in the mountains below.

The piercing sonic booms caused by the mecha breaking through the air came one after another.

A fist-sized piece of life source ore is worth hundreds of thousands of Duoling coins. How many life source ore are now in front of everyone?

Thousands of tons!

Converted into money, this is a super wealth of hundreds of billions or even trillions!

No wonder everyone is crazy about it.

Many pirates rushed to the scattered life source ore on the ground like a swarm of locusts with red eyes.

The red gold mecha guards who were fighting with the pirates did not stop them at this moment, and seemed to let the pirates rob at will.

Lu Yuan stood still.

There were more than ten pirates who did not move like him, most of them were pilots of level 6 or 7 among the pirates.

Lord Gem's "opening the floodgates" was really unusual and weird. No one would believe that there was no trick.

These level 6 or 7 pirate leaders were smart enough to survive until now. Even though their eyes turned green when they saw the life source ore below, they carefully chose to let their men go first.

Lu Yuan glanced at Lord Gem in the distance.

The guards who were protecting him in layers around him all looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.

He looked relaxed, watching the pirates who were frantically scrambling for the life source ore with relish, as if he was enjoying a lively and interesting drama directed by him.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he raised his head quietly.

Only then did they realize that the red-gold guard mechas that had no opponents in the field had gathered their formations at some point and were slowly approaching the star pirates who had not gone down to rob the source ore.

"Relax."

Lord Gem glanced at the guards with tense skin beside him and said lightly: "No one can hurt me in this place."

Lord Gem's tone was calm, but he seemed extremely confident and determined.

And his confidence did not seem to come from the three layers of fully armed and loyal guards beside him.

"Oh, right."

Lord Gem seemed to remember something and asked: "Is the mold in place?"

The guard replied in a low voice: "Everyone has been placed in the designated position according to the instructions of the adults."

"That's good."

Lord Gem nodded.

Then he raised his head and his eyes first swept across two high-level mechas, one black and one white, in mid-air, fighting fiercely and bursting out terrible energy and consciousness fluctuations from time to time.

Then it fell on the seventh-level star pirate leaders surrounded by a group of red gold mechas.

Finally, it was the ordinary star pirates who were scrambling for the source of life ore below.

His face slowly showed satisfaction, and he said softly:

"The arrogant and noble main ingredients, paired with jealous and suspicious auxiliary ingredients, slowly burned and roasted with the greedy fire ignited by stupid souls, and then sprinkled with fear and pain seasonings.

Tsk tsk, I can't imagine how rich and delicious this meal would be."

"He will definitely be satisfied."

"Don't you think so?"

The Lord of Gems turned his head and asked the personal guard beside him with a smile.

The latter saw the strange smile on Lord Gem's face, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason, then nodded in a daze.

"Bang!"

A sharp explosion sounded, and white air waves rolled.

Several red-gold shadows rushed towards Lu Yuan almost at the same time.

Two level seven, three level six.

Lu Yuan immediately judged the strength of his opponent.

And he was not the only one who received such a grand treatment.

After the large force that acted as the main body of the action was attracted by the life source mine, these "elites" of the star pirates who did not take action because of caution became the targets of siege by all the red-gold mechas.

"Is this an open conspiracy? Directly use interests to divide the battle group and slowly break them one by one?"

Facing the siege of five red-gold mechas, Lu Yuan did not have too much panic expression on his face, and his mind was still thinking about the deep meaning behind Lord Gem's series of actions.

Each red-gold mecha is elite, and the weakest one is level five, and there are also many masters of level six and seven.

Use the temptation of the life source ore to disrupt their formation, first focus on getting rid of some people, and then slowly deal with the rest.

This method is really good, and it can be regarded as fully utilizing the shortcomings of the Star Pirates' weak cohesion and loose organization and discipline.

But the number of red gold mechas is too small.

No matter which level of the strong, the number is only one-third of the Star Pirates, or even less.

Unless Lord Gem has other backup forces that have not been deployed, it is not realistic to rely on these red gold mecha guards under his command to eat up all the Star Pirates without leaving a single one.

Facing the siege of several red gold mechas, Lu Yuan looked calm and did not take action directly.

Instead, he moved his body, took advantage of his own speed, and easily broke through the encirclement in front of him, and then rushed towards a nearby Star Pirates' level 7 mecha.

Several red gold mechas chased him relentlessly.

When he approached the target level 7 mecha, Lu Yuan turned his body and turned directly to another place.

He seemed to hear the curses coming from the seventh-level pirate who was under increasing pressure through the mecha. Lu Yuan's face remained unchanged and he continued to move his position.

On the other side of the battle group, a rose-red female mecha was doing something similar to Lu Yuan.

It kept moving between small battle groups, disrupting the battle groups that were originally divided into pieces like tofu.

He and Sonice only "diverted the trouble" several times, and the pirates on the field began to "wake up from their dreams" and then began to actively move closer to each other.

They were not fools, and they obviously understood Lu Yuan's intentions.

At this time, it was obviously much better to fight together than to fight alone.

They didn't think of it before, just because they didn't have this idea in their minds and didn't trust each other enough.

This kind of thing would not work even if it was explained in advance, there would always be people who would rebel and refuse to cooperate.

At the moment, I don't know whether "Alfonzo" deliberately or unintentionally forced them together, but made these pirates cooperate abnormally to "unite".

"Swoosh--"

Lu Yuan's figure appeared in the air. Just as he stabilized his body, two attacks came from both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

Lu Yuan's arms shook lightly, and the claw-like weapon dragged a large afterimage in the void, forming a faint cross shape.

He ignored the attack on the right side, and seemed to only have the attack on the left side in his eyes.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

Two muffled sounds broke out one after another.

Lu Yuan retreated slightly in mid-air, his slender and strong alloy arms drooped naturally, and he stood still with a calm expression.

Beside him, a sturdy and sturdy copper-colored mecha that had just blocked the attack on one side for him held two laser swords and let out a loud laugh from Red Beard.

"Alfonzo, you have to thank me, otherwise you would have lost your head now"

Lu Yuan glanced at Red Beard lightly and said nothing.

At this time, more than a dozen level 7 pirates had successfully formed a group. It was not uncommon to see "cooperation" operations similar to what he had just done with Red Beard.

Facing a red-gold mecha guard with more than twice their number, not to mention that the pressure was reduced sharply, at least everyone was relieved.

And Lu Yuan's goal was achieved.

He chose to promote the pirates to form a group, not because he was determined to stand on the pirates' side.

But Lord Gem gave him an inexplicable and weird feeling, which always made him feel a little uneasy.

No matter what the reason was, he didn't want the pirates to "fall" too quickly, or

didn't want some of Lord Gem's plans to go too smoothly.

"Damn these guys. They are crazy about picking up things, right?

I shouted for a long time but no one paid attention to me. They just watched us being besieged and bullied."

"Red Beard" stood beside Lu Yuan and cursed, and even couldn't help opening the long-range gun on the mecha and fired two shots at the bottom.

The energy cannon fell into the life source ore pile, exploding two balls of dark green fire.

The two shots of Red Beard were obviously aimed at warning the mechas below that were picking up the life source ore, but the mechas near the explosion site seemed to be unaffected and were still using the mechas to continuously collect and absorb the life source ore in front of them.

Even though the storage space inside the mechas they were driving was already full, and pieces of life source ore were constantly "eaten" in and "spitted out", they still seemed to be unaware and only knew to repeat the actions on their hands.

"Are you really crazy?!"

Similar scenes happened to many star thieves, not only Red Beard, but also some seventh-level star thieves who did not go down gradually discovered the clues.

"Each piece of these life source ores has been marked with space. It cannot be stored in space storage props and can only be moved piece by piece!"

"There's something weird about these mines!"

The star thieves who were besieged by the red gold mecha were discussing in confusion while bearing the pressure of being besieged.

At this point, even the most obtuse person will notice something is wrong.

There were several terminal communication channels created when we came here, but now only people like them who had not left were left talking in them.

Those who go down to grab the ores, whether they are level 4, level 5, level 6 or even level 7.

Now, there is not even a single response from anyone.

Each of them seemed to be possessed. The mechas loaded with source minerals were overloaded and their movements were slow.

Just like fat worms, lying on the hill full of life source minerals, "gnawing" greedily.

It seemed that except for the source ore in front of him, everything else had been forgotten and became unimportant.

"Click——"

In the Life Source Mine, an overstretched mecha staggered and fell on its back with a bang.

The cockpit door opened immediately the next second.

Then a star thief with red eyes jumped out from inside with a crazy expression.

He almost landed on the source mine with a flying posture. The moment he landed, he used his hands and feet to crazily stuff green pieces of source mine into his arms and stuffed them into his body.

After a few seconds.

The star thief who was frantically collecting minerals suddenly stopped, and then

"boom!"

A ball of flame as bright as a gold coin suddenly shot out from his body.

The bright yellow flames instantly enveloped the star thief, and a shrill and painful scream pierced the air.

There seemed to be a twisted humanoid flashing through the center of the flame.

When the flames extinguished, large chunks of Life Source Ore, shining with beautiful green light, fell onto the mine with a thin layer of black ash.

The original star thief has long since disappeared without a trace.

"Hiss——"

The seven-level star thieves who witnessed this scene all gasped.

Before it was their turn to be shocked, similar things began to happen one after another below.

This shock soon turned into horror, and the shock spread silently in the hearts and eyes of the star thieves.

"What's this?!"

Lu Yuan was also shocked.

His eyes were fixed on the yellow flames burning on the mountain of green source minerals below.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the Abyss Sinking Demon Coin in his hand from the color of the flames.

The colors of the two are surprisingly similar, and they have the same weird charm.

Lu Yuan frowned and looked in the direction of Lord Gemstone again, and saw that the fat, white and round man was looking at everything happening in front of him with his hands behind his back and a smile.

From a certain angle, at first glance.

Lu Yuan felt.

The Lord Gem in front of me seems to have an inexplicable resemblance to the sinking demon with a big belly and thin legs and a smile full of sharp teeth that is engraved on his coin of the sinking demon of the abyss!
