Chapter 502: 501, Traitor Pacific Country_1
Three seconds after Morning Star’s spell obliterated two monsters, the “Thunder Dragon” cast by Su Yu finally hit the last monster.
Seeing that Su Yu was slower than her, the fox-form Morning Star shook her fluffy tail happily: “Nemesis, I’m faster than you! Don’t forget the barbecued fish you owe me!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.” Su Yu smiled.
Once the six monsters were killed, a large amount of spiritual energy stored within them exploded out wildly, splattering in all directions.
The monsters created by the Skru people all have this characteristic.
Previously, when Su Yu killed the “Specter” created by the Skru people, he gathered a lot of spiritual energy from the vanquished “Specter.” It was the same principle with these flying monsters.
Of course, Su Yu wasn’t going to let this spiritual energy go to waste.
He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his body behaving like a black hole as a powerful force drew in all the residual spiritual energy into his body.
The fox-form Morning Star concentrated her magic power and released a “Magic Bubble” with a diameter of several hundred meters. The bubble collected all the dispersed energy and sent it to Sur Yu’s side.
Su Yu closed his eyes, quickly absorbing and transforming the spiritual energy into his strength.
…
At the same moment Su Yu was absorbing spiritual energy,
Far-off scholars of Skru Star, Langqi reported to Emperor Raging Sun Manina XIII that “The scouting party had an encounter with Su Yu and was entirely wiped out.”
Manina XIII had been closely keeping track of the frontlines.
Upon receiving Langqi’s report, he immediately contacted Langqi using the internal chat software.
Manina: “Su Yu is on Tsushima Island?”
Langqi: “Yes.”
Manina: “What is he doing there? Is he preparing to ambush our monster army there?”
Langqi: “It’s still not clear.”
Manina: “If it is unclear, then find out! Promise some benefits to the Pacific Country and ensure that they send over the information quickly.”
Langqi: “Understood!”
Blue Star’s America is currently divided into four regions: the East Coast’s “American Pacific country,” the central “Indian Country,” the southeastern “American Union,” and the northeastern “America United Workers’ Union.”
A truce is currently in effect between all four parties.
However, two months ago, the head of Pacific Country secretly entered the Spiritual Spring Eye, intending to surrender to the Skru people.
The Skru people originally couldn’t care less about his offer because, in their eyes, Blue Star people were nothing more than bugs. They had no reason to care about what these bugs wanted.
But a month ago, Su Yu caused trouble on Skru Star, seizing on a gap in the Skru people’s defences to kill the chairman of the Lun Kete Alliance.
Following that incident, the Skru people felt the need to support a puppet to counter Su Yu, and so they accepted the surrender of the Pacific Country’s leader, promising not to kill them after taking over Blue Star.
The Pacific Country’s leader was extremely grateful.
Without hesitation, he handed over the core military secrets of America, including all the intelligence collected by the American government about various countries on the Blue Star over the past few decades, to the Skru people. He continues diligently collecting more current intelligence for the Skru people.
Pursuing this line of inquiry with him will definitely prove fruitful.
…
The scene switches back to Su Yu.
About three minutes later, he had completely absorbed all the spiritual energy and exhaled comfortably.
This morning, when he left the game, he was at level 78 with 90% progression.
The absorption of this energy hadn’t brought him to level 79.
However, if he were to completely absorb the spirit energy contained within these 3000-odd monsters, he might be able to assault the bottleneck of reaching level 80, step seven!
However, restoring the strength of the great monks of Yunlu Mountain was also not easy. Should he reserve these spiritual energies for them instead? Su Yu found himself deep in thought.
Noticing Su Yu standing still and lost in thought, Morning Star, still in her little fox form, hopped in front of him and used her fluffy tail to brush against his cheek, “What are you daydreaming about?”
But just as she brushed his cheek, Su Yu did something unexpected. He made a swift move to grab her tail.
“What are you doing?!” The little fox Morning Star shrieked.
“What else but petting a fox? I’ve never touched a fox before in my life!” Su Yu held Morning Star’s body and petted her intensely.
Morning Star struggled to escape from Su Yu’s grasp.
However, she too was now a spellcaster and was no match for Su Yu physically. Despite struggling a few times, she failed to break free from Su Yu’s grip.
With no other choice, she had to resort to her ultimate move.
She transformed into a human girl, about 14 years old, looking pitifully at Su Yu.
Su Yu, “…”, had to let go.
He had no reservations when it came to petting cats or foxes, but when it came to Morning Star in her human girl form, he simply could not lay his hands on her.
With a sigh of resignation, he said, “Fine, you win. Let’s go back.”
He flew off towards the east, intending to return to Tsushima Island.
Morning Star showed a triumphant smile.
As was her habit, she jumped onto Su Yu’s shoulder in one leap.
But now, she was in the form of a little girl. This leap landed her astride on Su Yu’s shoulder.
With the sight of two tender legs dangling in front of him, Su Yu was, “…”
But he didn’t say anything and continued his flight towards Tsushima Island.
On their way, Su Yu asked Morning Star, “Morning Star, what should I do with the spiritual energy from more than 3,000 monsters we defeated in this battle?”
“What do you mean ‘how to deal with it’?”
Su Yu explained, “What I mean is: if I were to absorb it myself, I might have a chance to upgrade to the seventh rank! Or, I could give the spiritual energy to the great monks of Yunlu Mountain, after all, their acquisition of spiritual energy is not easy.”
Without hesitation, Morning Star wrapped her arms around Su Yu’s head and said, “Of course, you should absorb it yourself, why even think twice?”
She then shared her rationale, “Don’t forget; you are the one ‘upgrading to the seventh rank’! Upgrade opportunities are rare and once missed, what if you fail next time? Moreover, these great monks of your world just lack spiritual energy, if given enough, they can recover their strength! Your upgrade is much more important, okay?”
“Hmm…you make sense.” Su Yu thought about it and felt she was right.
Upgrading indeed was more important than recovery.
In that case, he would absorb all the spiritual energy dissipated by the monsters upon their defeat this time and try to break through to the legendary seventh rank!
…
…
While Su Yu was returning to Tsushima Island, Langqi had easily obtained intelligence from the Pacific Nations.
As he perused the information, he reported to Emperor Manina XIII:
“Your Majesty, according to the intelligence sent by the Pacific Nations, almost all of Huaxia Nation’s military helicopters are converging on Busan. It seems they intend to stop the monster invasion there.”
“Busan?” The thirteenth Emperor Manina was a little intrigued, “Are they truly planning to ambush us on land?”
Manina had considered the possibility that the monster army would be attacked by nuclear bombs from Blue Star once they entered the Tsushima Strait.
While Manina was not afraid of this possibility,
After all, the Tsushima Strait is very close to Huaxia Nation, just over 700 kilometers away. The terrifying nuclear radiation cloud from thousands of nuclear explosions would cause a devastating blow to the ecological environment of Huaxia Nation.
But now, the people of Blue Star didn’t use nuclear bombs, but instead planned to fight the monster army in Busan. It seems the entire battle was unfolding according to their plan.
