Chapter 682: Chapter 366 Wormhole Space-Time (Five in One)_2

“What is this?”

Su Ming asked in surprise.

“Hah, I thought it was something serious, turns out it’s just the Federation’s Smasher.”

Su Yuan said dismissively.

“Smasher? Aren’t they supposed to be mining?”

Su Ming asked, blinking.

“That’s right, they’re mining.”

“Wait, isn’t mining usually done by digging into the planet?”

“That method is used on giant planets where resources are super abundant. In this world, there aren’t many resource-rich planets. Normally, when a small amount of resources is detected, the entire asteroid is shattered, filtering out the useful resources inside. Ninety percent of the high-level ore we need comes this way. Don’t be fooled by the large amount it shatters, extracting just a few grams of high-level ore would be good enough.”

Su Yuan explained to Su Ming.

“That little? No wonder those high-level ores are so expensive, the operating costs for such a big Smasher can’t be cheap, right?”

“Big? This is just a smaller version; there are even bigger ones.”

“What’s bigger than big?”

“The largest Smasher in this world is a Planet Shredder; it can shatter a standard planet.”

“So impressive?”

“Yes, unfortunately, it’s not ours, that one’s from the country of Shadler.”

“Uh….”

Su Ming was left speechless upon hearing this.

At this point, Su Yuan gazed at the operating Smasher, stroking his chin as he spoke.

“I remember these Smashers don’t operate alone; there should be several others nearby. If I’m guessing correctly, this part of the cosmos must have a rich mineral resource that’s being heavily mined.”

“Understood.”

Su Ming nodded slightly after hearing Su Yuan’s words.

“But this has nothing to do with us; they’re mining their mine, and we continue our voyage.”

Su Yuan said indifferently.

“Mhmm!”

Su Ming and the others nodded.

Then, the Ghost Fire continued to navigate the starry sky ahead.

Soon, they once again entered a Space Wormhole, and when they emerged from it, they arrived in a new Star Sea.

While they observed this Star Sea, a leviathan-sized Level 5 Mother Ship, measuring three hundred kilometers long, suddenly emerged from a large wormhole space-time on the right side of Ghost Fire’s celestial region, followed by two Level 5 Battleships and six Level 4 Battleships.

All these ships displayed the flag of the Shabask Kingdom.

“Shadler, are these ships from your country?”

Su Ming asked a bit surprised.

Upon seeing the leading Mother Ship, Shadler’s expression became unnatural as he replied.

“Yes.”

At this moment, Lum, the ship’s captain, opened a communications report.

“Master Shadler, we received a communication request from the Level 5 Mother Ship, Victory, should we accept?”

“Accept!”

Shadler, with a conflicted expression, eventually chose to agree.

Swipe!

A communication image appeared in front of Shadler.

It showed a man with a beard, dressed in a white robe, wearing a luxurious gemstone crown, with fingers adorned with sparkling gemstone rings, and a blue Star Diamond Necklace around his neck, exuding grandeur, holding a fragile and alluring snake-bodied woman of extreme beauty.

“Big brother Alatai.”

Shadler asked, his expression still uneasy.

“Yo, isn’t this Shadler? Why are you not staying home? What are you doing out here?”

Alataide asked in surprise.

“I, I….”

Shadler stammered, unable to speak.

“What are you? Don’t tell me you’re also searching for the Star Spirit.”

Alataide asked with a smile.

“Y-yes, I am.”

“Do you know how dangerous this place is? What’s the point of joining the crowd here? This is wormhole space-time, you could lose your life in a flash, do you think it’s a joke? Do you want to join my fleet? It might be safer.”

“No, I can handle it myself.”

Shadler replied bravely.

“Alright, take care then.”

After finishing his words, Alataide hung up the communication and then burst into laughter.

“Haha, I wondered who it was, turns out to be this coward. This guy is usually so timid, afraid to step out the door, yet he dares to come here, it’s hilarious to me.”

“Master, you’re right, how could such a coward be your competition?”

The snake woman said sweetly.

“Forget about him, let’s go!”

Alataide spoke with a cheerful tone.

“Yes!”

Alataide’s subordinates responded promptly.

Within the central control room of the Ghost Fire.

Su Ming showed a peculiar expression as he thought Shadler had quite a decent strength with his Level 5 Battleship and seemed fairly well-off.

But now, compared to his brother, his strength seems to fall short, and the other seemed far more ostentatious.

Thinking of this, Su Ming then coughed slightly, and quietly asked Su Yuan.

“Who was that person earlier?”

Su Yuan replied immediately, explaining to Su Ming.

“That guy is Alataide, the eldest prince’s son of the Shabask Kingdom, his father Lunano is one of the three heirs and also the most powerful.”

“What about Shadler’s father?”

Su Ming asked curiously.

“His father Babufen is the weakest among the three heirs.”

“Wait, is the old King only having three sons?”

“Of course not, the old King used to have a dozen sons. But most of them have died due to illness or accidents. Now there are only three princes left, and even the grandson generation is small, with fewer than thirteen. Especially Babufen’s line, only Shadler’s son is left.”
