Chapter 379: Harvest
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
When Hong Tong and the other three teammates drew the Devastating Icy Revenant to the camp of the demons in their broken crystal suits, Li Yao was still waving his hand up and down as quickly as lightning.
The general components that he had brought with him were polished, reshaped, and modified, before they were piled on the sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt until it was entirely enclosed.
Although the Devastating Icy Revenant was rampaging overhead, Li Yao didn't have ti to blink because his full attention was focused on the complicated crystal wires and rune arrays.
The triggering component was not hard to assemble per se. The real tricky part was to deceive the authorization system of the magical equipnt to fool it into thinking that this was a normal activation.
Dazzling brilliance was beaming out from Li Yao's eyes, while he mumbled to himself, "4 minutes and 17 seconds, 4 minutes and 18 seconds, 4 minutes and 19 seconds…"
Walls made of rocks rose up in front of Hong Tong one after another, only to be ripped apart by the Devastating Icy Revenant again and again.
The Devastating Icy Revenant turned into thousands of torrents of ice flowing through the holes and regathered in the air with hisses, as if it were sneering.
"CRACK!"
The plate armor on Hong Tong's shoulder was hit by the ice arrow, which imdiately turned into a blue tube. As he continued moving his arm, the plate armor gradually broke up, exposing his shoulder to the coldness of below minus two hundred degrees. Despite the double protection of the mustard suit and the spiritual stamps, his movents still turned extrely rigid.
His other three teammates were in much worse states than himself. Their crystal suits were so crappy that they seed as if they could break up at any point. There was not any part on them that was intact.
"Li Yao, we can't take it any longer!" Hong Tong roared.
"Nine seconds to go. Give it to ."
Li Yao's voice was calr than ever, with a confidence of victory.
Hong Tong gnashed his teeth.
"Are you sure?"
"Trust !" Li Yao responded decisively.
Hong Tong was dazed for a mont. Then he roared and led his other three teammates past Li Yao and Ding Lingdang, before they all fell to the ground because their spiritual energy had run out.
In the center of the Devastating Icy Revenant, shrieks were echoing like growling wind. All the bright blue streaks were suddenly more brilliant than ever, as it swept at Li Yao.
"Three… Two… One…"
Li Yao ignored it. He even sohow slowed down his movents as he inserted a crystal chip carved with triggering rune arrays into the sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt gently and pressed it.
"Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!"
The sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt imdiately started shinning and vibrating. A cluster of grey mist was released and charged at the Devastating Icy Revenant.
The Devastating Icy Revenant which was domineering a mont ago seed to have felt that a predator was coming. It wriggled and hissed while it tried to run away, only to be caught up by the grey mist and lted with it.
Corrupted by the grey mist, the Devastating Icy Revenant turned into a giant swirl revolving in the sky from inward to outward. One stream of ice after another was thrown out from the swirl and absorbed by the sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt.
In less than three minutes, the ice cloud—dozens of ters in diater—was entirely swallowed by the sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt.
In the anti, the shell of the sea-snail-shaped magical equipnt turned into deep blue, with bright blue streaks here and there, which was quite beautiful.
At this mont, Li Yao was finally relieved. He sat on the ground and exhaled a long breath.
The six Orb Patrollers of Team Blue Bronze sat on the grey, barren, desolate land for a long ti in silence, until soone burst into laughter in the communication channel. A few seconds later, all of them lost control and started laughing crazily.
…
A day later, in the launch base of Occult Orbs Fellowship in the Heaven's Origin Sector.
"Chi!"
A star shuttle, which had been frozen to the color of grey-white and was emitting icy steam, stopped at the end of the rail precisely. The six mbers of Team Blue Bronze crawled out of it on all fours.
The first thing Li Yao did was open up his helt and take a deep breath of the fresh and warm air of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
"Ho sweet ho, right?" Hong Tong asked with a smile.
"Indeed." Li Yao said with quite complicated feelings.
He was born with foreign mories from a different ti and space, which made him less troubled by nostalgia than other children were.
However, after this trip to Mystic Glacier, he had truly co to understand the preciousness of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
Hotown…
Yes. There might be thousands of worlds in the boundless sea of stars, but only one of them was his hotown: the Heaven's Origin Sector!
He wouldn't let his hotown ruined by the demon beasts at any cost!
Because of the fierce battles that they were engaged in in Mystic Glacier, Team Blue Bronze underwent thorough physical examinations to ensure that no sequela remained. It was not until more than half a day later that they finally got everything done and entered the base where they turned in the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and had their contribution points balanced.
They t several 'old friends' by accident in the base, the mbers from Team Lingering Wind.
Guo Yu of Team Lingering Wind was seriously wounded by Li Yao in the duel more than one month ago. It had taken him more than twenty days before he was half recovered.
They had just completed an exploration mission, too. But they were much luckier than Team Blue Bronze. They had not been harassed by the demon clan and successfully collected a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without much trouble.
"This ti, not only did we gather a huge amount of Blood Swallow Stones, we also collected a special plant, Moon Tear Flower, not to ntion, we explored more than a half of Mysterious Moon's map. I believe we will earn more than twenty thousand contribution points, won't we?"
"Haha. The result is out. 27,520 contribution points! Our rank has risen by two!"
Guo Yu stared at Li Yao who was not far away from him and scoffed, "After trading the contribution points for new magical equipnt and secret arts, the capability of Team Linger Wind will definitely reach a whole new level and break into the top 50 of the Rank of Stars in no ti!
"As for Team Blue Bronze, I'm told that they encountered major chaos during their mission to Mystic Glacier. They even wasted a star shuttle, which ans a huge reduction of contribution points!"
"Ha. Newbies are newbies anyway. However remarkable they are in the Heaven's Origin Sector, they will reveal what they really are the mont they set foot on an Occult Orb. They are totally useless garbage that will only drag the entire team down!"
"Just wait for it, Vulture Li Yao. I will challenge you to a duel soon!"
Yet, Li Yao and his teammates completely ignored Guo Yu's resentnt. They left in a hurry after balancing their contribution points in the mainfra crystal processor.
Guo Yu was gritting his teeth, but his shoulder was pressed by the captain of Team Lingering Wind.
The captain did not seem to be in a good mood. He said in a low voice, "Guo Yu, don't be rash. mbers of Team Blue Bronze have beaten you twice in duels, which is a disgrace for Team Lingering Wind, too. We are definitely going to set everything straight! Just wait until we get a few more train sessions in the Occult Orbs, then I will challenge Team Blue Bronze in the na of Team Lingering Wind!"
"Captain, are you sure?" Guo Yu was overjoyed.
Duels between teams were more formal than personal duels. They were more intense, too.
"Of course! Team Blue Bronze has wounded you twice. We've wasted months of tis because of not being able to explore the Occult Orbs. Our losses are astronomical. If we don't fight back, we will always be the biggest joke among the Children of Occult Orbs!" The captain of Team Lingering Wind said toughly. Then he raised his eyebrow, "Strange. Why are so many people crowding at the mainfra crystal processor? Is sothing going on?"
mbers of Team Lingering Wind were confused. They moved closer and noticed that everybody was talking and pointing at the Rank of Stars.
Glancing at it, the countenance of everyone in Team Lingering Wind changed.
"What? Team Blue Bronze earned more than 114 thousand contribution points for the exploration of Mystic Ice? That is five tis ours!"
"How can that be?"
"Didn't they wreck a star shuttle? Almost ten thousand contributions are supposed to be deducted!"
"Mystic Ice is just a mining base. There shouldn't have been any treasure that is of significant value in that place. What on earth did they find that is worth so many contribution points?"
"Their rank has soared by more than twenty. They are the 46th now!"
The mbers of Team Lingering Wind were all dumbfounded. They didn't have the vaguest clue as to how Team Blue Bronze was able to earn more than a hundred thousand contribution points.
Even the super teams ranking in the top 10 were not always capable of getting such a huge amount of contribution points for one mission. It was truly a great fortune!
So of the bystanders had talked with Team Blue Bronze just now. They were whispering to each other, "Did you know that Li Yao was the MVP for the more than a hundred thousand contribution points?"
"Vulture Li Yao will be able to get thousands of contribution points after his first official visit to the Occult Orbs. His own inco will be even more than many teams'! He's a rich guy now!"
"Team Blue Bronze is indeed unbelievably lucky! A few months ago, Queen of Fire Ding Lingdang joined the team. A few months later, through Ding Lingdang, an even stronger new guy, Li Yao, was recruited, too!"
"Judging from the trend, it won't be long before Team Blue Bronze returns to its peak state, just like when its forr captain Yin Qingfeng was still alive, and reclaims its title as a super team by breaking into the top 10 of the Rank of Stars!"
mbers of Team Lingering Wind retreated out of the crowd silently.
According to the tradition of the star teams, contribution points would be evenly distributed among the mbers. But if one of the mbers played an irreplaceable role for the success of the mission and reversed the situation single-handedly, the mber would be credited as 'MVP' and would get additional contribution points.
Team Lingering Wind had been collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for days and nights in Mysterious Moon and also picked up a special plant by luck, all of which together only amounted to so twenty thousand contribution points.
How was it possible that Vulture Li Yao, an utter green hand, who had never been to an Occult Orb before, could earn almost fifty thousand contributions by himself, which was even more than the revenue of their entire team?
How did he accomplish it?
Guo Yu was scratching his head so hard that he was almost bleeding.
"Well, Guo Yu…"
The captain of Team Lingering Wind was dazed for a long ti, before he finally opened his mouth hesitantly. "About you going to challenge Li Yao for a duel, and the match between Team Lingering Wind and Team Blue Bronze…"
"What about them, captain?" Guo Yu was about to cry.
"Let's just not rush into anything, shall we?"
The captain took a long breath and, containing his envy, made the most sensible choice.
