Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1385 - 1351: True Parasitism

The rescue team members finally saw the sorry state of the "Lord of the Sky" and his group.

This was a motley crew of surviving soldiers, with almost every member injured. Even the one revered as the "Lord of the Sky," Master Lin Mo, could not hide his exhausted and disheveled appearance.

This is the harsh reality of war. Even if the "Lord of the Sky" leads a team of elite soldiers, and even if the "Seed Nest" hatches nothing but weaklings, sheer numbers are overwhelming when the quality has not reached relative balance.

"Potions, are there any potions? Someone is injured!"

"Are there any healers? The situation is critical right now!"

"Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten for three days!"

"I need Demon Crystals!"

The moment the small airship landed, the "Lord of the Sky's" team rushed over.

At this point, they had exhausted their ammunition and supplies, and what they carried was long depleted. Most of it wasn't lost through normal usage but due to various accidents. If out of a hundred portions, one could be fully utilized, it would be a blessing. This is the normal battlefield situation.

Chen Fei ignored the requests for supply replenishment and urged directly, "Hurry and board the ship, don't hesitate, move quickly, we'll treat you immediately, don't resist."

At the same time, without hesitation, he released SPA fruits from the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space. Those who boarded the airship's cabin were automatically drawn into the fruits that split open.

Whether exhausted or suffering light or serious injuries like missing limbs, SPA fruits were the perfect remedy.

The SPA fruit that "captured" the target quickly vanished inside the airship cabin, as Chen Fei took both the person and the fruit with him into the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, scattering them beneath the lush canopy of the "Life Tree," within patches of grasses.

"Uncle Lin!"

Chen Fei greeted the last to board, the "Lord of the Sky," Lin Mo.

"Chen Fei, I know you!"

Despite his knight heavy armor being worn and filthy, and covered in scars, Lin Mo managed a kind smile, nodded at the junior Chen Fei, and his heavy sword vanished, stored back into his Spatial Storage Artifact.

"Would you like to rest a bit? Leave the rest to me?"

Chen Fei released another SPA fruit he had prepared in advance.

The shelf life of these things is very short and usually needs to be pre-prepared. Once the fruit is ripe, it has to be used immediately; otherwise, it will soon become ineffective.

"What's this thing?"

Lin Mo curiously examined the giant fruit, as tall as a person.

SPA fruits cannot be widely used, and those who have seen them are few; it is not surprising the "Lord of the Sky" doesn't recognize them.

Chen Fei explained, "A form of biotechnology. It can fully restore health in a short time, better than magic potions, and without side effects."

"It looks quite intriguing!"

Lin Mo walked towards the SPA fruit, and the coarse fruit skin split open by itself, with countless tendrils extending from inside towards him.

As the tendrils were about to touch Lin Mo, they suddenly paused with no warning.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo examined the tendrils that reached out in front of him with confusion.

"Everyone, relax your mind, don't resist..."

Chen Fei suddenly shouted, but before he could finish the word "resist," a dazzling light burst out in front of his eyes.

Fierce Sword Qi cut through the entire small airship like a hot knife through butter, tearing it into pieces. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Several figures tumbled out in disarray, including Chen Fei.

The SPA fruit with the "Lord of the Sky" Lin Mo was smashed to pieces almost instantaneously.

"How... did you sense it!"

Lin Mo's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and the sword light of the heavy sword in his hand flickered unpredictably.

"What happened?"

The barbarian tribe leader of the rescue team, Huo Men, stood gravely with his double-bladed battleaxe, suddenly struck by the unexpected Sword Qi which left dozens of sword marks on his body.

Behind him, Chen Fei was surrounded by S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown and two Earth Element Warriors, Theodore and Dang Wei Jun.

Not far away, Oma, a Wind Element Heavenly Rank First-order Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation warrior from the Demon Tribe, spat mouthfuls of purple blood. His upper and lower body split at the waist, both man and weapon severed unexpectedly, glaring at the "Lord of the Sky" incredulously.

The Feathered Tribe's Fire Element Heavenly Rank First-tier Spellcaster, Pu Xia, was flung furthest away, with a broken wing and most of his defensive Alchemical Artifacts shattered, looking equally furious.

Three other rescue team members lay sprawled or prone nearby, motionless, with the last traces of shock on their faces, seemingly not even understanding what had happened. The rest of the rescue team were nowhere to be seen.

The fifty-meter-long small airship was entirely shredded.

Not every member of the rescue team would fully trust Chen Fei, allowing his spiritual power to envelop them. Such trust requires prolonged and shared life-and-death experiences to gradually form, and Chen Fei was not surprised.

Fortunately, most people were not affected by this unexpected turn, yet everyone remained completely unable to understand why the "Lord of the Sky" suddenly attacked them.

Protected within layers, Chen Fei, not displaying any shock, calmly asked, "Uncle Lin, what's going on?"

"Did the 'Lord of the Sky' surrender? Betray? Or did he... guess something?"

It was definitely the worst-case scenario; this involved the traditional abilities of the "Sagali" civilization.

Back at the first contact with the "Sagali" civilization, Chen Fei had witnessed such a situation.

If the "Life Tree" wasn't of the same origin as the current "Sagali" civilization and supplemented by much hereditary information of biotechnology, if the SPA fruit didn't harbor some special functions, these anomalies would likely go unnoticed.

As Lin Mo was about to speak, his phone rang urgently. He smiled and gestured to Chen Fei.

"You take the call first!"

Chen Fei motioned to Heseman Brown with his eyes before slowly taking out his phone.

Wherever the "Stargate" coordinates reach, a communication network can be established. Even within the "Sagali" civilization's star system, stable communication can be maintained.

"Your Highness the Princess, do you have business? I just found Uncle Lin; he's alive, though something seems off."

"Chen Fei, there's something wrong with Cangqiong Star too!"

Lin Ziyu's urgent voice came through; her situation seemed even more serious than her father's condition.

Chen Fei patiently asked, "Don't rush! Take your time."

"The real target of 'Sagali' is our Cangqiong Star; our planet has been parasitized!"

The Silan Dynasty's Princess sounded utterly terrified.

"What?"

The prolonged invasion lasting for ten millennia was not without results for those parasitic species.
