I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 373
Chapter 373: Devouring Dark Nest
It’s been over two months since the formation of the Star Alliance.
Traveling over ten million kilometers, they harvested over a dozen high-grade resource points.
Everyone thought that their grabbing spree would continue until the end of the competition.
However, just a day ago, they discovered a massive formation of dark beasts ahead.
Curious about what resources such a place could offer, multiple dark technologies and Void Venerates came to scout.
But, as if facing an invincible wall, nothing could rush past that wall of dark beasts.
With no other choice, the nuclear powerhouses of the alliance, the Void Marshals, were even deployed.
Even then, if not for the cooperation of dozens of Void Marshals, they would have nearly failed to break through.
The density and power of the dark beasts inside seemed to be thousands of times greater than those in a high-grade resource lode. Coupled with the current dark phenomenon, it was no wonder they had a hard time.
However, after breaking through the outer layer of the dark nest, they finally saw the treasure it was hiding.
Hundreds of resource points, elemental crystal sources, and even perfect-quality elixirs growing like grass.
As if stumbling into a treasure land, their breathing became hurried as they couldn’t wait to harvest everything.
Unfortunately, while they could break through inside, the same couldn’t be said for the rest.
After scouting the place for all its wealth and dangers, they knew it wouldn’t be easy to conquer.
Thus, calling every top leader and representative in the Star Alliance, they decided to hold a meeting.
“Have you investigated all the dangers in this place? Can you list them?” Nash asked Hana, the leading Void Marshal scout.
“Hmm, from our sightings, there should be about 1,200 Tier 5 intelligent dark beasts, tens of millions of Tier 5 lord-level dark beasts, and billions of Tier 4 lord-level dark beasts,” Hana reported solemnly.
The numbers she listed were merely for the lord-level dark beasts.
If those ordinary dark beasts were also included, the total number would be in the trillions!
Facing a devouring dark beast nest, even one of the great teams would collapse if they were careless.
Meanwhile, hearing the numbers, everyone in the hall unconsciously trembled.
Just the thought of going against such a tide already made them fearful. What more would happen if they directly faced them?
“This is troublesome…” Nash also frowned.
It seemed that due to the dark phenomenon, the number of dark beasts had multiplied.
From his previous scan, while there were still over a thousand intelligent-type dark beasts, the number of Tier 4 and Tier 5 dark beasts had only been in the millions.
Unable to decide whether to continue or not, Nash turned to everyone.
“What do you think? Do you want to try?”
Hearing his question, silence rang through the room.
Try? Did he mean trying to send themselves to their deaths?
Although they had sailed smoothly these past few months, it wasn’t enough to face such a danger.
“All right, just tell me if you don’t want to. I’m not stupid enough to send everyone to their deaths when you’re not confident,” Nash said, reading their expressions.
Since neither he nor anyone else had any confidence in the matter, he decided to drop it.
“However, this opportunity is something we cannot afford to pass up…”
Hearing this, they still didn’t dare to utter a word.
Although Nash was only at the Void Venerate Rank, the pressure he exuded was no joke.
Leading an alliance of 73 cosmic teams, no one dared to challenge his authority.
“What I’m saying is, since we can’t challenge this danger now, we should focus our attention on other things and bide our time.”
“Once this current dark phenomenon is over, or our strength is stronger, we can come back to this place,” Nash decided.
They had only been in this cosmic competition for about 18 months.
Before multiple dark phenomena became possible, they still had 6 months left.
If they were unlucky and the dark phenomenon didn’t disappear by then, they would have no choice but to give up.
However, if by some chance, luck befell them, then it would be perfect.
Furthermore, besides luck, he also had something that depended on his skill and power, the high-grade secret realm.
In about a month or so, it would open, giving him a chance to turn things around.
If he got another shelter treasure with miraculous power, they might have the strength to conquer this resource point.
“Haha, Commander is really insightful! This is a perfect plan.”
“Indeed, not only could we ensure our safety, but we also wouldn’t miss any chance!”
“Commander really has the mind of a god!”
Flattering him with every word, Nash could only be speechless.
Are these people really the top talents of the Solaris Domain?
“Alright, stop. For the next month, we’ll proceed with our itinerary as usual. However, after that, you should prepare for the coming secret realm.”
“Secret realm? Wasn’t it already over?”
They knew that Nash had information about 2 low-grade and 1 mid-grade secret realm.
However, based on the time, they should have long been over.
“This one is different. It’s a high-grade individual-type secret realm.”
“A high-grade individual-type secret realm?!”
If it were a group-type secret realm, they might not think much of it. But an individual-type?!
Just thinking of the treasures and resources they could earn, even their yearning and fear of the cluster-type resource point quickly vanished.
The fight for a group-type secret realm was often too bloody and monopolized by the top teams.
Instead of going to such a chaotic place, it was better to mine a few more resource points.
However, an individual-type secret realm was different. Not only could they go alone, but everything also depended on their talent and ability.
Even if they didn’t get anything, as long as they were careful, surviving would not be impossible.
Looking at Nash, they couldn’t wait to ask for more information.
“Just prepare well. I’ll tell you about it before we go…”
