Chapter 2763: Chapter 2763: Crystal Mining Slave
The powerful figures of Redflame Star looked at each other in dismay, unable to decide whether to hand over the hundred thousand Divine Crystals obediently for peace, or to fight fiercely and drive off the Skeleton Star Pirates.
"Let’s fight them!"
Fang Bai heard a few Domain Lords within the starship let out low growls.
Those who growled were, like Fang Bai, unable to produce a hundred thousand Divine Crystals. They would rather risk everything than be caught to become Crystal Mining Slaves.
"Fighting might cost us our lives! It’s better to buy our way with Divine Crystals; maybe we can earn it back double at the Black Crystal Sea!"
Most of the Domain Lords, including Domain Lord Wen, Domain Lord Zhu, and Domain Lord Lan, shared this opinion.
Since they had enough Divine Crystals, they naturally did not want to risk their lives against the notorious Skeleton Star Pirates.
Fang Bai remained silent, only intensely observing the two high-rank Void God Realm experts on the Skeleton Star Pirate Ship.
The aura of those two high-rank Void God Realm experts was even more intense than that of the Redflame Starlord, clearly indicating superior combat strength.
Seeing this, Fang Bai knew the battle between both sides would not happen.
The difference in overall strength was too vast. Unless the Redflame Starlord had taken leave of his senses, he wouldn’t urge everyone to fight desperately.
Sure enough, moments later, when two members of the Skeleton Star Pirates came over to collect the Divine Crystals, the Redflame Starlord was the first to transfer a hundred thousand Divine Crystals into the other’s Spatial Divine Ring.
Seeing the Starlord cooperate so readily, the other powerful figures of Redflame Star lost any thought of resistance. They, too, quickly transferred their hundred thousand Divine Crystals to the two members of the Skeleton Star Pirates.
Before Fang Bai, three Domain Lords from Redflame Star were caught and taken onto the starship by a member of the Skeleton Star Pirates because they couldn’t come up with a hundred thousand Divine Crystals.
The member who acted was a mid-rank Void God Realm expert, equivalent to a Realm Lord of Redflame Star; those three Domain Lords were no match for him, thus dared not resist and meekly submitted.
"You, a hundred thousand Divine Crystals!"
A grim-faced Skeleton Star Pirates member, over a zhang tall, stood before Fang Bai, holding out the Spatial Divine Ring in his palm.
Fang Bai grinned and said, "I only have eighty thousand Divine Crystals, is that okay? I’ll make up the missing twenty thousand later..."
"Impossible!"
The Skeleton Star Pirates member glared and, without another word, reached out to grab Fang Bai.
Domain Lord Wen, Domain Lord Zhu, and Domain Lord Lan wanted to put in a good word, but seeing the other party not giving a chance, they could only sigh helplessly.
Fang Bai’s figure blurred as he narrowly dodged the grasp of the Skeleton Star Pirates member.
The member of the Skeleton Star Pirates was stunned by his failure, then his eyes turned vicious, as he asked harshly, "What, are you thinking of resisting?"
Fang Bai replied, "I wouldn’t dare! I’ll go by myself!"
He then turned to clasp his fists toward Domain Lord Wen, Domain Lord Zhu, and Domain Lord Lan, saying, "Goodbye, for now."
After saying this, he flew towards a starship a hundred zhang away belonging to the Skeleton Star Pirates.
Upon landing on the deck, several members of the Skeleton Star Pirates rushed forward to put a chain around his neck and led him to the hold at the back.
Fang Bai didn’t know what material the chain was made of, but when he pinched it, it felt extremely strong, likely impossible to cut with ordinary Divine Artifacts. He wondered if his Pangu Axe or Blood-Drinking Mad Blade could break it.
It was said that once wearing this chain, as long as he was within ten miles of the two leaders of the Skeleton Star Pirates, it would be detected.
The two leaders of the Skeleton Star Pirates were high-rank Void God Realm experts. If discovered by them, the consequence was death—no chance of luck.
Despite the chain around his neck causing discomfort, Fang Bai knew he couldn’t provoke the hundreds of experts opposing him and had no choice but to endure.
Inside the ship, over a hundred powerful figures from the Divine Realm, each with chains around their necks like Fang Bai, were seated cross-legged.
Needless to say, these were Crystal Mining Slaves captured by the Skeleton Star Pirates, meant to be taken to the crystal zone to mine Divine Crystals for them.
Upon Fang Bai’s capture, those "Crystal Mining Slaves" looked at him, some indifferently, some with pity, others gloating...
Fang Bai walked to a corner, sat down, and silently closed his eyes in meditation.
He didn’t know how much time passed when he felt a slight vibration of the ship, indicating the starship was starting and heading into deep space.
In the starry sky, there was no day or night.
Sitting cross-legged, Fang Bai cleared his mind of distractions and continually practiced the Blazing Flame Divine Fist, feeling his combat strength had made significant progress. Even against mid-rank Void God Realm experts, his chances of victory seemed high.
"The Black Tortoise Crystal Zone has arrived! Stop the ship!"
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, followed by the gradual halt of the starship.
"You Crystal Mining Slaves, come out!"
Moments later, Fang Bai and over a hundred Crystal Mining Slaves, led by several members of the Skeleton Star Pirates, came to the deck outside the cabin.
"Is that the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone? What a vast crystal zone!"
Fang Bai and the other powerful figures of the Divine Realm extended their Divine Sense Diffusion, probing the deep space on the left of the starship, where clusters of black nebula-like crystal zones appeared—likely the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone mentioned by the Skeleton Star Pirates.
The Black Tortoise Crystal Zone spanned ten thousand miles, dark and terrifying. It was said to contain abundant Divine Crystals, but also fearsome Starry Sky Behemoths. Entering to mine Divine Crystals risked being devoured by these behemoths at any moment.
Over billions of years, countless experts who ventured into the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone for Divine Crystal mining had perished, let alone Crystal Mining Slaves like Fang Bai, who met similarly countless tragic ends.
Led by ten members of the Skeleton Star Pirates, Fang Bai and over a hundred Crystal Mining Slaves left the starship and flew toward the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone.
"Go in! Once you mine a hundred thousand Divine Crystals, you can return and be released!"
A member of the Skeleton Star Pirates waved Fang Bai and the other slaves forward.
"You have ten breaths’ time. Failure to enter will lead to immediate execution!"
Seeing the slaves hesitate, another member of the Skeleton Star Pirates threatened menacingly.
Thus, Fang Bai and over a hundred Crystal Mining Slaves, filled with fear of the unknown, went into high alert and cautiously flew into the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone.
At first, the group stayed close together to avoid attacks from the legendary Starry Sky Behemoths.
Later, as they didn’t see any behemoths appear, they let down their guard and began splitting up in twos and threes.
Alone, Fang Bai moved through the Black Tortoise Crystal Zone, concealing his aura and blending with his surroundings. This way, he became invisible, undetectable even to high-rank Void God Realm experts.
Soon, within a massive star stone over a hundred zhang in size, Fang Bai finally discovered the presence of Divine Crystals.
