Chapter 1680: Slap Yourself
Qu Jianlei promised to give Feng Wangxi a separate reward, which was rarely seen in the team before.
Only Xizhao, this shameless guy, often bargains when going on missions - after all, he is an elf of heaven and earth and cannot be considered human.
But Feng Wangyi was really treated differently in the team.
First of all, as an invading alien race and not a formal member, it cannot enjoy many benefits for the time being.
For example, the spirit gathering array. It couldn't enter the spirit gathering array because its body was too large, so it had to find a workaround.
Of course, Qu Jianlei can also build a larger spirit gathering array, but it is costly and consumes a lot of energy, and it is also inconvenient to move.
Anyway, he couldn't make any special arrangements for Feng Wangxi's needs, so he could only let it get some spiritual energy from time to time.
Secondly, those space stones that were half absorbed by the tree clan have been contaminated, and only Feng Wangwang is most suitable for use.
If the team wants to use it, it must be purified, but that will increase a lot of unnecessary losses.
Previously, Feng Wangyi had expressed a strong desire to obtain these space stones. Qu Jianlei's answer was that it depends on the situation.
The situation is just right now, and it is timely for him to take out the space stone as a reward.
But Feng Wangxi's answer was, "I really want this, but can you... replenish some spiritual energy first?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard it, feeling a little surprised, "You want this?"
He knew that Feng Wangxi had not replenished his spiritual energy since entering the Federation, but is this thing important to you?
Hua Lei was also stunned when she heard this. Replenishing spiritual energy... Can Digital Phantom really do that?
Although Feng Wangyi was the smartest person in the tree tribe, he never expected that his words would reveal some secrets of the team.
Jia Shuiqing shook his head imperceptibly. There was nothing he could do. The talent of the tree clan determined the upper limit of this guy's thinking.
Anyway, Feng Wangxi was completely unaware, "I need to replenish energy when I launch space rays..."
When ordinary tree species emit black lines, they only need to use a small part of their own stored energy, and most of the energy comes from locusts.
But Feng Wangyi no longer had any locusts in his body, so he could only use his old capital.
Fortunately, it is not in a dormant state and is not firing on instinct, so it doesn't matter if it overdraws a little.
Otherwise, the black lines it could have sent out in these two battles would have been very few.
But even so, Feng Wangyi is currently in a serious state of spending more than his income - in fact, he has almost no income at all.
Then, if it still wants to continue to exert its fighting power, it can only absorb spiritual energy.
In fact, it felt quite aggrieved. "I also want the Space Stone, but I have to help my comrades first."
The awareness of this alien race... Hualei was a little shocked when she heard it. What kind of international spirit transcends race!
"Okay, got it." Qu Jianlei glanced at Bentley, "Old Ben, you take care of it."
Bentley was stunned for a moment before he reacted. This task was specially assigned to him, and he must use his knowledge of mechanical maintenance.
"So, I choose a starship and make a hole?"
Qu Jianlei also meant this, so he nodded casually and said, "Choose a junky one."
Most of the team's storage equipment are intact or nearly intact starships.
Those scraps were either too lazy to be picked up or given to the military - whether they were from the Alliance or the Federation, they could still be used after some repairs.
At the very least, standard warships can still play some role during infiltration.
But in the team's storage equipment, in addition to spare parts, there are actually some broken starships.
It is used to disassemble parts when encountering special damage.
Bentley rowed for a while and finally found a boat that was barely suitable.
It was an Alliance battalion-class ship, and most of it was intact, except for a large hole in the cargo hold. All other dismantling parts had not been dismantled.
When Bentley released the starship, Hualei's eyes narrowed slightly, a little surprised, "Alliance standard warship?"
She is really not a flower in a greenhouse. At least she can recognize the standard warships of various countries. Most women cannot do this.
Theoretically, if the Alliance's warships openly appeared in the Federation, there would be big problems.
However, they have now penetrated deep into the Asura-occupied area, so there is no need to worry about appearances - even division-level ships have been released!
Moreover, a military reconnaissance ship had already discovered us, but did not dare to initiate communication.
After Bentley released the battalion-level ship, he first let the division-level ship's mechanical arm grab it, and then he got busy.
The main thing is to check the entire starship, and then let Feng Wangxi extend a branch in to block the big hole.
Only by blocking the entrance of the cave can the air pressure in the cabin be stabilized and the spiritual energy be prevented from leaking out.
The team's reserves include more broken company-class ships, but they are too small to set up spirit gathering formations or accommodate branches.
That's right, even a small branch forgotten by the wind cannot be put down by a class ship.
Its branches sealed the breach of the battalion-class ship tightly, and Bentley began to inject air, then started and built the formation.
When the spirit gathering formation was activated, spiritual energy continuously flowed from the branches into its trunk.
There is no other way, it can only make do with this temporarily, but fortunately this time, it has its own spirit gathering array.
Bentley rarely initiates conversations with others, let alone with people of other races, but this time he actually asked, "Is it enough?"
The fact that he asked this question also showed that he acknowledged the other party's role in the previous battle.
"Well..." Feng Wangyi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "If it's not difficult, how about setting up another one?"
"No problem," Bentley started working without even asking his boss.
This is on the battlefield. What kind of idiot would treat soldiers so harshly at this time?
Shu Jian had unprecedented exclusive use of two sets of spirit gathering arrays, but Hua Lei quietly asked Claire, "You, use spiritual energy to practice?"
Claire hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She was a person who dared to act and take responsibility.
Since the other party has discovered it, just admit it, "Apart from your identity, you are not an official member yet."
"Yeah," Hua Lei nodded when she heard that. She understood the proper limits.
"It's great to be able to practice with a Qi Gathering Formation, but... do you all practice with spiritual energy?"
Claire felt that there was no need to hide this from her. If she didn't tell her, wouldn't she think about it?
"You've seen that even Wind Oblivion has been treated the same way... but we are controlling its absorption."
"Also, no one outside the team knows that we can stimulate spiritual energy. Remember to keep it a secret."
She really didn't want to say it, but there was no way. Feng Wangyi, that idiot, had let the cat out of the bag. What could she do?
However, Hualei's focus was not on this at all. Her eyes lit up, "Inducing... spiritual energy?"
"I was just talking too much," Claire slapped herself in the face.
Then she nodded, "Well, in the Absolute Spirit World, where do so many spirit stones come from? We must think of a workaround."
Hualei blinked her eyes, then asked again, "Then there should be quite a few of you who have survived the thunderbolt, right?"
This is still a secret, but Claire feels that those people in the empire have observed a lot and it will spread sooner or later.
Anyway, she had already slapped herself, "Thunderbolt... As long as you want to advance, who can avoid it?"
Are there many deaths? Hualei wanted to ask this question, but she kept her mouth shut.
She nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, knowing this much, I can rest in peace even if I die in the next battle."
Hua Lei certainly didn't want to die, and what she said simply meant that she knew the importance of the news.
"It's not that simple." Claire's face darkened. She has always been the kind of person who repays complaints with honesty.
"I've told you so much. If you don't say a little more, this won't end."
Hua Lei looked at her blankly, not understanding why this person who had always been so easy to talk to suddenly became like this.
Claire said very confidently and a little arrogantly, "Stop pretending. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Tell me everything about that secret room... and everything else."
"Secret room?" Hualei blinked in astonishment. "You know this too?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Claire snorted disdainfully.
Since she met the boss, she has seen countless secret rooms, secret camps, treasure rooms and the like.
She was almost certain that for anyone with some ability and some good things, building a secret room was an instinctive act.
The boss always said that a cunning rabbit with three burrows is the way to long-term success. "Don't talk about me, other people want to do it too."
Hualei blinked, "Then why didn't they ask?"
"They are not as uncultured as I am!" Claire answered confidently, "But I also slapped myself in the face!"
Hualei stared at her blankly for a long time, then she actually laughed, "Ha, no wonder so many people are willing to pamper you."
"Okay, I don't mean to hide this, but we have to finish this, right?"
This little episode ended here.
In the following seven or eight days, they encountered several more groups of nests, but the division-level ships simply bypassed them and left.
It’s not that we can’t fight, but there will be many similar things in the future, so there’s really no need to waste ammunition.
On the eleventh day, they encountered a sub-nest again. Not long after they bypassed it, another sub-nest appeared in front of them.
Before Qu Jianlei decided whether to fight or not, the opposite sub-nest released two grand-nests and four or five forward nests.
Especially the latter, although small in size, it is extremely fast, even faster than a division-level ship.
When they reached 400,000 or 500,000 kilometers, the division-level ships opened fire.
The reason for not firing before was not because the range was not enough, but because the consumption would be too high, which was not cost-effective.
This is how fighting deep behind enemy lines works. No matter how much reserves you have, you have to use them sparingly.
Of course, the firepower of the division-level ships easily blew up the three forward station nests.
One nest turned a corner unconsciously and was only scratched.
Then a wave appeared in this nest and another intact nest.
The next moment, the two six-armed Asuras and more than a dozen four-armed ones were already seven or eight thousand kilometers away from the division-level ship.
