Chapter 286: Chapter 53: Da Gu Fortress! Encirclement! Nangong Linglong Also Wants to Be a Free Bird?

P-8808 Star Realm, southwest.

Within the thick nebula, a micro fortress is slowly sailing.

"Hahaha!"

"In just over a month, our Dagu City has been promoted to Da Gu Fortress!"

"Now, we’re even about to break out of the star realm and embark on a journey to conquer the vast star system wasteland!"

The micro fortress is named after Lord ’Ootani Shunzai’.

The number of subordinates in Da Gu Fortress is in the tens of millions.

Among them, almost every subordinate is not below Tier Five Evolver.

The fortress lord, Ootani Shunzai, successfully advanced from Tier Nine to Tier Eleven just one month after promoting to star system wasteland.

Two tiers broken in one month.

Such speed is enough to make him stand proud among ninety-nine percent of other players in the Newbie Village Star Realm P-8808.

In addition to that.

The original Level 9 city Dagu City also successfully promoted to micro interstellar fortress after he conquered the affiliated planet.

At this moment.

Ootani Shunzai stands atop the fortress, overlooking the scene below, feeling a surge of pride.

"Who else?"

He turns to look at the thick nebula outside the fortress.

Occasionally, a few dim planets can be seen within the nebula.

Ootani Shunzai knows, those planets are the landing sites of other players.

But...

"A bunch of guys who haven’t even promoted to fortresses, still playing insignificant games within their planets, aren’t even qualified to be my opponents!"

Ootani Shunzai grins.

Behind him, several high-tier Evolvers of Da Gu Fortress laugh in response:

"Oh yes, oh yes!"

"Just a bunch of trash!"

"They can’t even compare to a single hair of our Da Gu Fortress!"

"The Lord had foresight. After promoting to the fortress, he immediately decided to leave the star realm!"

"Indeed, beyond the star realm is the truly vast territory, the real star system wasteland!"

"..."

The group discusses casually.

Ootani Shunzai’s smile becomes even more pronounced.

But suddenly...

Boom——!

Rumble——!

Suddenly.

There’s a burst of loud noises coming from the southeast.

Whoosh whoosh——

Instantly.

Ootani Shunzai along with his trusted aides, including tens of millions of subordinates within the fortress, all turn towards the sound.

"What’s that..."

"What is that thing?"

With just one glance.

Everyone is stupefied.

As the fortress lord, now a Tier Twelve Evolver, Ootani Shunzai’s expression is also stiff.

In the southeast direction, the thick layers of nebula are visibly collapsing at an alarming speed.

The cosmic deep space once covered by nebula becomes all the more vast and desolate.

The loud noises originate from that desolate void.

Nothing appears in that void, but Ootani Shunzai can faintly sense an overwhelmingly terrifying aura emanating from it!

"Star System-Level Mutant Beast?"

Ootani Shunzai’s expression slightly changes.

Right after he speaks.

The expressions of the high-tier Evolvers behind him also slightly freeze.

Da Gu Fortress hasn’t completely occupied the initial landing planet, only half of it.

It’s not that Da Gu Fortress doesn’t want to occupy it; it’s because a horrific tentacle mutant beast is entrenched there...

According to Ootani Shunzai’s perception, even at Tier Twelve, he may not be a match for those tentacles.

Since then.

The group has developed a preliminary understanding of star system-level mutant beasts.

And now?

"If that’s also a star system-level mutant beast..."

"Wouldn’t it be even more terrifying and powerful than those tentacles?"

Everyone simultaneously has this thought. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The next moment.

"Change course!"

"Accelerate at full power!"

"No, warp, warp directly!"

Ootani Shunzai’s voice suddenly becomes urgent.

Boom——

Rumble——!

In the distant void, the loud noises become increasingly intense and clear.

Da Gu Fortress is rapidly enveloped by a special halo.

Swoosh——!

Space waves spread.

Da Gu Fortress successfully warps, distancing itself from that void area.

But...

Before Ootani Shunzai and others can catch their breath.

Boom——!

The nebula they’re currently in also begins to rapidly collapse!

"Damn!"

"What the hell is this thing!"

Ootani Shunzai curses and initiates warp again.

A fortress’s space warp consumes vast amounts of energy, and energy consists of energy crystals...

Even though he discovered a crystal ore with decent reserves upon landing and fully extracted it, the energy reserves of Da Gu Fortress can’t sustain too many consecutive space warps.

Buzz——!

Da Gu Fortress is once again enveloped by space waves, and quickly disappears from the spot, appearing in a more distant starry sky.

"Still coming?"

Ootani Shunzai, looking at the collapsing void seemingly chasing them, feels a tingling sensation in his scalp.

"Keep warping!"

Ootani Shunzai has no other options; he toughens up and warps again.

Swoosh——

Swoosh swoosh——!

After nearly ten consecutive warps.

Da Gu Fortress finally escapes that area of great horror.

Now.

Ootani Shunzai looks back——

The once nearly vast nebula has thoroughly collapsed and dissipated.

In its place, an endless void stretches.

The void vibrates continuously, with loud noises as if something extremely terrifying is incubating inside...

In a trance.

Ootani Shunzai faintly sees several colossal shadowy figures.

Each shadow’s size is comparable to hundreds of Da Gu Fortress.

For some reason.

Ootani Shunzai feels one of the shadowy outlines resembles an interstellar fortress, just many times larger than Da Gu Fortress.

"No, it can’t be."

As soon as the thought comes up, Ootani Shunzai shakes his head vigorously.
