Chapter 836 Creatures of the Void
On the seventh day after the attack on Black Hand Port, the Swan was pulled out of the dock by a tugboat and sailed into the star port.
After it was confirmed that it was safe and all the tugboats had moved away, the three engines of the Swan were ignited in a V-shape arrangement and slowly sailed out of Blackhand Port.
Alyssa on the bridge inserted the data stick into the terminal interface:
"The coordinates are here."
Anyun quickly set the route according to the coordinates, and the idling engine began to slowly accelerate and move forward according to the designated route.
"Have you left the port? When will you enter pulse flight?"
Shanna was also on the ship at this time, lying next to the glass of the bridge and looking at the starry sky outside.
Even the golem named Benben was fixed to the side, shrinking itself into a ball.
"It is expected to enter pulse flight in ten minutes. Fasten your seat belt and don't fall."
"good."
Zannah will be on the ship, which started a few days ago.
Regarding the matter of the Star Child, Father Pro sent a letter to his scholar friend. He thought it would take at least four or five days for a reply, but he didn't expect it to be delivered on the third day.
I'm afraid only Father Proud knows what was written in the letter, but what is certain is that after reading the letter, Father Pro was not in a beautiful mood and seemed to be more troubled.
After finishing the day's work and returning home, I had a private conversation with Alyssa.
Since Alyssa's personal terminal had not used a boot disk, Li Chengqi didn't know what they talked about. Anyway, after this conversation, Alyssa told others that Shanafia would join us.
Li Chengqi really didn't care much about the specific details. He just wanted to play space war. But after looking at the coordinates Alyssa gave him, he asked:
"Where are we going?"
"Go on an adventure."
Alyssa glanced at Shanafia and added in a low voice:
"It should be a relic."
Got it, it’s related to Shanafia.
The Swan sailed to the designated location and started pulse flight. After a few seconds, it moved away from the space station and started the jump again.
Follow the route guidance, jump three times in a row, and fly around the star three times in a row, erasing the traces of the jump and trying to avoid leaving any traces to be tracked.
There must be a spy in Blackhand Port who tipped off the information. It is estimated that Shanafia's boarding of the Swan has been spread out now, so we must be careful.
The straight-line distance of the coordinates Alyssa sent to Li Chengqi was about twenty-two yars, which was not too far. With the Swan's specifications, it could be reached in one jump, but in order not to be tracked, it took almost two hours to go around.
As the last jump ended, the Swan seemed to have arrived in an empty star field.
This does not belong to any star system. Apart from floating meteorites, nothing can be seen. Darkness seems to cover everything. Even the navigation lights on the Swan seem to be swallowed up by darkness.
Alyssa's coordinates were actually the star map displayed on Shanafia's escape cabin. Alyssa had never been to this place before, so she didn't know what she would encounter.
"Advance at quarter speed, turn the radar power to maximum, and launch flares. There should be something hidden in this star field."
The coordinates are not accurate enough. Anyway, for now, it seems to be just a very empty star field.
Li Chengqi found the flare option on the ability disk. The upper part of the Swan shot out several flashing light balls. Although they couldn't shine too far, at least the area around the Swan was illuminated.
Only with this light did everyone see that this place was not empty at all. There is a fish-like creature that swims quickly when stimulated by strong light. Their whole bodies are covered with bone armor, and their heads look more like skulls. Their dark blue eyes and upper jaws that are completely made of bones are exposed. The two sides of their bodies are exposed. There are large and small pores all over the sides.
"That's a fish swimming in the void, it's not dangerous to the ship."
Alyssa had seen a lot and explained to the others on the bridge.
The void environment does not look like it can give birth to life at all. The ultra-low temperature, invisible lethal rays and vacuum are all very deadly.
But there is indeed life in the void, and there is quite a lot of it.
The void fish looks like a fish, but it is actually closer to plankton, and it mainly depends on absorbing cosmic rays. Because they are afraid of light, they generally do not appear in star galaxies or busy shipping routes, but gather in dark corners of the void.
As the flare advanced, everyone who had just been surprised that there was a creature in the void saw a huge eye open in the darkness.
That thing was so big that the eye could be bigger than the bridge, and it almost filled the glass when viewed through the porthole.
When the flare almost hit his eyes, the thing started to move. It didn't seem to want to provoke the Swan, and its eyes sank.
Only at this moment can we clearly see that this thing is actually a very large whale-shaped creature. It swims in the void as if swimming in the sea. With its size, it can smash the Swan to pieces with one tail effortlessly. , fortunately it chose to slip away from under the Swan without looking back.
This is the Void Narwhal.
Narwhals are a very successful species that exist in the oceans of many planes. They are large but docile, and sometimes even guide stray ships.
But there are also extremely rich subspecies of narwhals, from the celestial narwhal to the purgatory narwhal. Their huge bodies can be said to cover every corner of the multiverse, and even the soul river connecting the Deathly Hallows Realm. There are narwhals in the spiritual world.
However, the Void Narwhal, like the Void Fish, is afraid of light and can be dispersed by firing flares.
If it could talk, it would most likely hit the Swan with Zaun output, disturbing its sleep.
Continuing to move forward, some creatures like starfish and octopuses appeared outside the portholes, and from time to time they would suck on the portholes, leaving a faint mark.
Sometimes, meteorites are covered with things similar to corals, which refract brilliant light under flares and lights, giving people the illusion of driving a spaceship into the dark bottom of the water.
If you keep going forward, you will encounter "snow".
A large expanse of white stuff enveloped the Swan, and it really felt like it was moving in a blizzard. However, if you lean on the porthole and look carefully, you will find that the 'snow' is actually some kind of ultra-small polyp creature. The Swan is just right. Passing through their huge colonies, that's why it looks like snow.
The void is like this. It looks empty, but it is actually full of life.
But having said that, it seems that apart from these void creatures, nothing special was found. The radar only showed some nearby meteorites.
As the navigator, Anyun reported: "Arrived at the coordinate location, no visible targets were found."
The place arrived, but there was nothing. Everyone lying on the portholes could only see darkness and void creatures in the darkness.
But at this time Li Chengqi said:
"I saw it."
Then the Swan began to slowly turn around, turning 180°.
Just like tearing apart a transparent film, a huge, mountain-like meteorite slowly emerged in the dark void. You can even see the traces of artificial modification on this meteorite.
