Chapter 384: Slave Catcher Squad
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Master, alien lifeforms might not be friendly. The universe is a jungle. You must be careful.”
Longbetham reminded Lin Feng. The universe was not safe. If one was not a planetary lifeform, it was rather dangerous to sail in the universe. Even planetary lifeforms might perish in the universe.
“Don’t worry, of course I’m aware that people can harbor sinister intents. Approach them quietly and don’t let them discover us.”
Lin Feng was well aware of the dark side in people, and would not charge in rashly.
Hence, Longbetham piloted the s.p.a.ceship and slowly approached.
!!
…
In the cold and pitch-black cosmos, hundreds of giant s.p.a.ceships docked above a small planet.
In the airship, many Royans were staring at the screen of the monitor. They were the slave catchers of a chamber of commerce in the Roya Empire. The so-called slave catcher squad was actually capturing some intelligent lifeforms from an unclaimed civilization.
This was a business with a small capital and huge profit. If an unclaimed planet with intelligent lifeforms on it was discovered, just this deal alone would be enough to allow them to live in luxury for a few lifetimes.
“Captain, should we attack now?”
The captain had short fiery red hair and a pipe in his mouth. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he sneered, “These Auricles might not realize the gap between us yet. All right, let’s attack then. Let them see that resistance is futile. Make sure not to kill too many Auricles. They’re already our slaves. Every single one of them is a fortune!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Hence, hundreds of s.p.a.ceships aimed their cannons at the planet below.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
Countless beams of lights flashed. Immediately after, the planet seemed to be shaking. On the ground, countless “battleships” of the Auricles were blasted apart.
Almost a million Auricles were brutally killed. This was not a war, but a one-sided ma.s.sacre!
Swoosh.
A figure approached the planet silently.
As the s.p.a.ceship was too large and conspicuous, Lin Feng left the s.p.a.ceship directly and traversed the cosmos with his physical body.
As he approached the planet, he saw the tragedy that befell it. The “battleships” on the planet could not even reach the universe, and could only fly within the planet. How could they resist these hundreds of advanced battleships?
“Longbetham, how advanced are these s.p.a.ceships?”
“These are battleships. They are actually similar to my s.p.a.ceship. However, they are pure battleships equipped with powerful cannons. Even lifeforms with five life transitions cannot contend with this fleet of battleships.” Longbetham’s tone was grim.
“So powerful? What are they trying to do? Are they trying to destroy this planet?”
“No, they are not trying to destroy this planet. They are trying to conquer this planet. If I am not wrong, this fleet is made up of some notorious slave catchers in the universe. They must be the slave catchers of some chamber of commerce. Their goal is to search for unclaimed planets in the universe, and capture those intelligent lifeforms to sell them as slaves to some individuals or factions in the universe.”
“Slaves?”
“That is right, slaves! In the universe, slave traders are second only to devouring lifeforms in notoriety. Devouring lifeforms rely entirely on their instincts to devour all planets with energy. They are like locusts that leave nothing behind. Wherever they go, everything is reduced to dust. On the other hand, slave catchers do not abide by the Civilization Convention in the universe at all. Slave trading is very rampant. This is especially the case for an unclaimed planet like this. Without sufficient martial strength, it is naturally difficult to escape the fate of becoming slaves.”
It was obvious that Longbetham also abhorred such slave catcher squads.
Lin Feng looked at the intelligent lifeforms on the planet below. They looked similar to humans, only taller, and had a pair of long ears.
At this moment, every lifeform was filled with sorrow and despair.
This planet should be a pure technological civilization. However, its technological level was very low, and could not even enter the universe. Faced with hundreds of armed battleships, it was naturally defenseless.
Never mind this planet, when Lin Feng compared it to his home planet, he realized that with the overall strength of his home planet, without him and without the Canopy, it probably wouldn’t end up much better than this planet below when faced with this slave catcher squad.
No wonder Longbetham wanted to delete all the information about his home planet after confirming the route. His home planet was just too weak in the universe, and still had no ability to protect itself until now.
Lin Feng’s gaze was cold. He did not consider himself a moral saint. He would never show mercy to people who violated his interests. He had also killed many people.
However, Lin Feng could not turn a blind eye to this kind of wanton slaughter of countless intelligent lifeforms just for a little profit.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng’s figure flashed, and he flew out.
“Eh? A lifeform is approaching.”
“Lifeform? Zoom in on the image.”
The captain of the slave catchers saw that a lifeform had suddenly appeared on the screen. Moreover, from its appearance, he was the same as them. However, how could he cross the universe with just his physical body?
That must be a cultivator!
“This is a cultivator. Scan him immediately and determine the level of life transitions.”
The Roya Empire was considered a high-level civilization. Although it was a technological civilization, it interacted with many cultivation civilizations. Hence, they naturally had a way to evaluate cultivators.
“Scan complete. According to evaluations, the other party is a lifeform with four life transitions!”
“Four life transitions?”
The captain heaved a sigh of relief. Although four life transitions was already very powerful, that was nothing compared to their fleet.
“No matter who he is, he must be up to no good if he’s approaching us at this time. Target him with the main cannon and kill him!”
As slave catchers, they were extremely powerful even in the Roya Empire. Now, in the vast universe, they were completely unrestrained when killing a mere cultivator with four life transitions.
Hence, the main cannon was aimed at Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng, run. Their main cannon is already aimed at you!”
Longbetham seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly reminded Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s expression turned cold. As expected of the slave catchers, they killed without distinction. In that case, he would not hold back.
Against mere battleships, he did not even need to use his combat body and the Spear of Destruction.
“Annihilate!”
Lin Feng waved his hand, his gaze incomparably frigid.
In an instant, a storm seemed to have stirred up in the universe. A terrifying annihilative power swept over majestically, enveloping hundreds of airships.
“This… This is Law? How can a mere lifeform with four life transitions comprehend planetary Law?”
The captain was of course knowledgeable. However, with planetary Law, they could already be considered a planetary lifeform to a certain extent. Even the weakest planetary lifeform was a great lifeform!
If he had known that Lin Feng had the power equivalent to a planetary lifeform, the captain would never have dared to offend a planetary lifeform no matter how brazen he was!
“No, no…”
Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret in the universe. As the annihilative storm swept through hundreds of s.p.a.ceships, these hundreds of advanced battleships armed to the teeth were immediately torn apart by the annihilative storm, and reduced to dust in the universe.
