Chapter 271 Approaching Crisis and Mysterious Help
As the exploration fleet collected "Starry Crystal Cores," the oppressive feeling from the dark forces grew increasingly intense. The various exploration teams frequently encountered anomalies, such as inexplicably appearing energy interference zones that threw the ship's navigation systems into chaos; and mysterious shadowy figures flashing across the stars, leaving the team members with a sense of unease.
Meanwhile, the Alliance headquarters received a series of distress signals from the edge of the universe. These signals were chaotic, but they all conveyed the same message: dark forces were approaching, devouring everything in their path. The Alliance leadership urgently discussed countermeasures and decided to recall a portion of the exploration fleets scattered throughout the universe to jointly address the potential crisis.
The recalled exploration fleet rendezvoused at the Alliance headquarters, the atmosphere heavy and tense. The commanders sat together, analyzing the current situation. They realized that the dark forces were acting more swiftly than anticipated, and they had little time left to collect "Star Cores" and construct a defensive system.
Just as everyone was growing anxious, a mysterious spaceship appeared near the fleet. This spaceship had a peculiar shape, its surface shimmering with an odd light, unlike any known spaceship from any civilization. The fleet immediately went on alert, its weapon systems targeting the mysterious ship. However, the mysterious ship did not attack; instead, it sent a peace request to the fleet.
After a moment's hesitation, the fleet commander decided to accept the communication. A slender creature appeared on the screen, its skin a pale blue, its eyes gleaming with intelligence. This creature claimed to be from an ancient interstellar civilization, long hidden in the universe, constantly monitoring its movements. They had appeared because they sensed the imminent threat of dark forces and decided to offer their assistance.
The mysterious civilization claims to possess an ancient technology that could help their fleet search for "Star Cores" more efficiently. This technology, based on the precise perception of cosmic energy fluctuations, can pinpoint the location of "Star Cores," even when they are hidden in complex interstellar environments.
The fleet commander was both delighted and cautious about the proposal. After in-depth communication and testing, they confirmed that the mysterious civilization meant no harm and that the technology it provided was indeed feasible. Therefore, the exploration fleet reached a cooperation agreement with the mysterious civilization, and with their help, embarked once again on the journey to find the "Star Core."
Guided by the technology of the mysterious civilization, the exploration fleet's search efficiency increased dramatically. They quickly found several previously elusive "Star Cores." However, as the "Star Cores" continued to be collected, the dark forces seemed to have become aware of their actions and began to launch more intense attacks on the exploration fleet.
Once, the exploration fleet discovered traces of "Stellar Crystal Cores" near a gas giant. As they approached the planet to collect them, a group of creatures composed of dark energy suddenly burst forth from the planet's storm. These creatures varied in form; some resembled giant pythons, slithering through space; others were like ferocious beasts, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the fleet.
The fleet immediately launched an attack, energy cannons flashing across space. But these dark creatures possessed powerful regenerative abilities, quickly recovering from being hit. Moreover, their attacks carried corrosive dark energy, causing severe damage to the hull and shields upon impact.
In the heat of battle, an exploration ship was struck by the dark creatures, its shields shattering instantly and air beginning to leak from the hull. The crew immediately activated emergency procedures and began repairs. Meanwhile, the fleet commander swiftly adjusted tactics, discovering that the dark creatures were sensitive to a specific frequency of energy. He ordered all ships to adjust their weapon frequencies and concentrate their firepower on the creatures' weaknesses.
With the combined efforts of the fleet, the dark creatures' offensive was gradually contained. Ultimately, the exploration fleet successfully repelled the dark creatures and collected the "Starry Crystal Core." However, they knew this was merely a probing attack by the dark forces, and a greater crisis lay ahead.
As the number of "Star Cores" gradually approaches the requirement for constructing a defense system, what even more insane actions will the dark forces take? With the help of a mysterious civilization, will the exploration fleet successfully complete the construction of the defense system? What turning point will this cosmic-level confrontation reach? Everything is full of suspense, waiting to be revealed in future adventures.
