Chapter 2762: Chapter 2762: Skeleton Star Pirates
Coincidentally, Fang Bai’s room is adjacent to Domain Lord Wen, Domain Lord Zhu, and Domain Lord Lan.
However, they didn’t gather to chat; instead, they stayed in their rooms to recharge, preparing for the potential battle at the Black Crystal Sea.
The starship quickly launched, leaving Redflame Star at an immeasurable speed, navigating through the vast starry sky.
It’s hard to say how much time has passed, but the starship is getting closer to the Black Crystal Sea.
Fang Bai’s heart suddenly started beating faster, as if a bad premonition was coming.
Fang Bai knows this is a sign of approaching danger.
However, there’s no news yet that they’ve reached the crisis-laden Black Crystal Sea. Could it be they encountered the legendary Star Pirates mid-way?
Fang Bai left his room and arrived at the spacious deck at the front of the starship, where most of the Redflame Star’s powerful individuals going to the Black Crystal Sea had already gathered.
The Domain Lord Wen and Domain Lords Zhu and Lan, whom he met earlier, were also among them.
Dozens of Redflame Star’s strong individuals, each with a solemn expression, were ready for battle.
"What’s happening?"
Fang Bai walked up to Domain Lord Wen and the other two domain lords to inquire.
"There are Star Pirates!"
Domain Lord Wen said sternly, raising his hand to point to the sides of the starship they were on.
Fang Bai released his Divine Sense, spreading it in the direction Domain Lord Wen pointed, and sure enough, he discovered that several miles away, two ships were rapidly approaching.
Silhouetted on those two starships, the number of strong individuals seemed to greatly exceed those on their starship.
"Everyone, the Star Pirates are attacking, prepare for battle!"
The Redflame Starlord stood at the very top of the starship, his eyes shining brightly as he shouted sharply.
The ship was extremely fast, and just as he finished speaking, those two pirate ships appeared within sight.
Those two pirate ships looked somewhat worn, but their hulls were larger than their starship’s hull, and each ship had over a hundred strong individuals onboard.
Those strong individuals were wielding divine artifacts, screaming strangely, with greedy eyes cast on Redflame Star’s starship as if it were their delicious prey.
"Skeleton Star Pirates... now we’re in big trouble..."
Domain Lord Wen’s face changed dramatically when he saw the large skull insignia on the two pirate ships.
Fang Bai asked, "Skeleton Star Pirates? Are they powerful?"
Domain Lord Wen smiled bitterly, "I heard the Skeleton Star Pirates have nearly three hundred members, including two high-rank Void God Realm experts, twenty mid-rank Void God Realm experts, and over two hundred low-rank Void God Realm experts..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Bai took a sharp intake of breath, thinking the Skeleton Star Pirates were indeed formidable. Just the two high-rank Void God Realm experts alone could bring substantial trouble to their starship.
Everyone in Redflame Star who heard of the Skeleton Star Pirates’ notorious name felt their scalps tingle and faces turn pale; some even considered escaping.
"It’s futile... their ships are faster than ours!"
Domain Lord Wen sighed, hearing some domain lords around him voice demands for the ship to escape quickly.
"Having been targeted by the Skeleton Star Pirates, unless we hand over all of our cultivation resources, a battle is inevitable. Our overall strength is far inferior; we stand no chance. If you don’t want to die, you can only exchange cultivation resources for life!"
Domain Lord Zhu spoke with a look of frustration.
They were originally coming to the Black Crystal Sea to "make a fortune," but unexpectedly encountered such a large pirate group like the Skeleton Star Pirates halfway, and could only accept their bad luck.
"What if we don’t have any cultivation resources?"
Fang Bai asked.
His Five Elements Space Ring was now completely empty, and he couldn’t produce any cultivation resources for the Skeleton Star Pirates.
Domain Lord Lan looked at Fang Bai with wide eyes and asked, "Domain Lord Fang, you don’t... have any cultivation resources, do you?"
Fang Bai scratched his head and said, "You’ve hit the nail on the head. All the Divine Crystals I had were given to the Starlord earlier, and now I can’t produce even one Divine Crystal."
"You’re really unfortunate..."
Domain Lord Lan said with a look of pity to Fang Bai: "If you don’t have any Divine Crystals, you’ll definitely be taken by the Skeleton Star Pirates as a Crystal Mining Slave."
Fang Bai froze: "A Crystal Mining Slave? What do you mean?"
Domain Lord Lan replied: "It’s being a slave that helps them mine Divine Crystals! Only when you’ve mined a certain amount will they let you go! But... some crystal sea zones in the Divine Realm often contain great risks, and once you become a Crystal Mining Slave, the hope of leaving alive is slim..."
She originally thought that after saying these words, Fang Bai would turn pale and shiver, but unexpectedly, Fang Bai remained calm and fearless.
"You’re... not afraid?"
Domain Lord Lan asked curiously.
Fang Bai laughed, "Afraid, but of what use is that?"
"The Skeleton Star Pirates’ minimum requirement for Divine Crystals is a hundred thousand pieces, anything less and you’ll be taken as a Crystal Mining Slave. Unfortunately, I don’t have extra Divine Crystals, or I would lend you some..."
Domain Lord Zhu said with a guilty expression.
While he considered Fang Bai a friend, he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his own Divine Crystals for Fang Bai and become a Crystal Mining Slave himself.
After all, becoming a Crystal Mining Slave is a perilous fate.
Domain Lord Wen thought for a moment and said to Domain Lords Zhu and Lan, "You two, besides your own hundred thousand pieces of Divine Crystals, how much can each of you spare? Together let’s see if we can gather a hundred thousand Divine Crystals."
Domain Lords Zhu and Lan each glanced at their Spatial Divine Rings and then said:
"I can spare about thirty thousand pieces!"
"I... can only spare about twenty thousand pieces."
Domain Lord Wen smiled bitterly: "I can only spare about thirty thousand pieces too... Let’s give these eighty thousand Divine Crystals to Domain Lord Fang first, and then we’ll say a few nice words to the Skeleton Star Pirates’ experts; maybe they’ll show mercy."
They then gathered around Fang Bai, each transferring their spare Divine Crystals to Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring.
Fang Bai received the Divine Crystals and smiled, "Thank you all for your generosity. Once I’ve mined Divine Crystals in the Black Crystal Sea, I’ll return them to you."
Domain Lord Wen said solemnly, "Domain Lord Fang, don’t get too happy yet. I’ve heard the Skeleton Star Pirates’ experts are cold and ruthless; giving them eighty thousand Divine Crystals may still lead to your capture as a Crystal Mining Slave. So... you must pray for your own fortune."
Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Life and death are determined by fate! And my fate has always been good!"
As they spoke, the two pirate ships of the Skeleton Star Pirates had already approached Redflame Star’s starship, less than a hundred yards away.
"Friends from Redflame Star, you must already know who we are, right? Yes, we are the Skeleton Star Pirates! You should also understand our rules, right? Therefore, if you don’t want to die, please prepare your Divine Crystals! We will send some experts over to collect them... Do not try to resist, or you know the consequences!"
A loud and ringing voice suddenly echoed from the left pirate ship of the Skeleton Star Pirates, resounding in the ears of the Redflame Star’s strong individuals.
