Start Sanctuary: I stole Athena

Chapter 228 Power Gem (Two in One)

nowhere
A huge skull the size of an asteroid lay horizontally in the vast sea of ​​stars, and Xingjue's spaceship was rapidly approaching the spaceship from the distant starry sky.

"We're going to land!" Drax the Destroyer was drinking in the cabin, and suddenly felt that the spacecraft was slowing down, so he hurried to the control room and asked, "Where is this?"

"The Land of No Existence." Gamora said, "It was originally the head of an ancient god."

After answering Drax's question, Gamora cautiously explained to Rocket: "Driving carefully, rat.

There is no order here, don't be seen as a target by others. "

Looking at the scenery along the road, Xingjue's tangled eyebrows frowned.

The road is full of small operational spaceships, and those disgusting brains and bone marrow are excavated from the skull, and even some strangely shaped bone residue fragments.

When viewed from the outside, the skull is relatively intact, but when viewed from the inside, the inside has been completely hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell.

"What's the use of these?" Xingjue asked suspiciously: "Could it be possible that with these things, they can create another god?"

"Impossible, it's too old." Gamora didn't look back and still looked at the route ahead vigilantly, and said lightly: "But these ancient existences are full of treasures, and a single hair is priceless."

Celestials are very valuable!

"The Celestials." Xingjue repeated softly, and at the same time quietly recorded this information in his mind.

After passing through the mining area, what you see is a strange-shaped city. The city's architectural style is strange, and it seems to integrate the architectural characteristics of all major races in the universe, giving it a unique scenery.

On the way, Gamora explained the history of the city to everyone.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Tiwan Group sent workers to mine the organic matter in this skull, bones, brain tissue, and spinal fluid. Body tissues from the Celestials are scarce resources, and they can be sold at a good price no matter which black market .”

"The Celestial God Race!" Xingjue repeated the name again and again, and at the same time, the impression of the name in his mind became more profound.

I have heard of the Star Lord of the Tiwan Group, which is a well-known consortium in the entire universe, and it is said that the leader is a noble elder of the universe.

A single head can allow such a large group to mine for hundreds of years. If it is a complete corpse or a living body, then it will be released!

Several people stopped the spaceship and set foot on this lawless land. On the way, Star-Lord did not forget to show himself in front of Gamora.

"I myself come from a lawless planet, Ronan and the like, if it is a piece of cake for me, I said I want this thing, even if I borrowed him a hundred courage, he would not dare to say half of it." No word."

In the end, Xingjue recalled Yondu and Saga in his mind. If he was in the centaur galaxy, his name would be a genuine gold medal for exempting crimes. Who would dare to put him in prison, let alone being so aggrieved like now wander around.

"Sounds really good, I really want to go and have a look." Drax said with interest from the side.

"It's worth going." Xingjue replied with his lips pursed.

Rocket, who was walking in front, subconsciously looked at the two of them with the eyes of a fool when he heard this, especially Drax, he was simply a single-celled fool, and he believed whatever Xingjue said.

In Rocket's heart, Xingjue is a wanted criminal who offended Yondu, a bounty worth 10 interstellar coins.

If Star-Lord really had a strong background, how could he be locked up with them? The Nova Corps of Xandar is notoriously soft-boned. If Star-Lord had a strong background, they would have sent him away respectfully.

Rocket was about to taunt, when a group of children suddenly came and surrounded them.

"Excuse me, can you give us some money?"

"Please, just a little bit is enough."

They are the claws under the control of the Nowhere gangster, specially used to test these people who came here for the first time.

If someone gives them money, it means that this is a group of rich and inexperienced newcomers, who will soon be eaten by the local gangs.

The Rockets and Gamora are old men who have experienced many trials and hardships, and they both understand these unspoken rules. Instead of overflowing with sympathy, they drove these children away quickly.

Star-Lord felt pity for the fledgling, but after flipping through his clothes and feeling for the little money he had left, he remembered that he was a pauper. He blushed and said nothing.

Only Groot, lovingly used his ability to grow a small flower on the palm of his hand, picked the flower and handed it to the girl in front of him, and then several people walked over amidst the doubts on the girl's face.

Gamora brought them to the only bar in the entire No Existence Land, strode into the bar, and said to everyone: "The buyer has absolute control here, and he should know that we have come since we appeared. We're here to wait for his representative."

"Okay!" Drax nodded, and then asked, "So what should we do while we wait?"

After walking into the bar, Drax didn't hesitate. Whether it was the bar's unique gambling or various enjoyable games, he quickly got involved.

On the other side, during the waiting time, Star-Lord went to replenish the fuel, which drained his remaining assets. After returning, he complained unwillingly to Gamora: "Oh my God, the fuel here is so expensive, I feel like I can't afford it." If I finish this business, I might lose money in the end.”

Gamora heard that Xingjue was complaining, so she didn't answer, and said flatly: "My contact person asked us to wait first."

"Wait?" Xingjue showed a clear expression, and then said with confidence: "I have experience in this kind of negotiation, believe me, this is just their strategy, I am good at it."

Then he inadvertently scanned Gamora's body from top to bottom, and said with a hint of flattery: "You are a person who can cut left and right, just leave this kind of thing to me."

Gamora replied to Star-Lord with a bright smile, and said with a hint of memory: "My father never taught me how to put pressure on others."

Xingjue asked back: "Thanos?"

He had never heard Gamora talk about his family, and instinctively felt that this might be an opportunity to get in touch with Gamora.

Gamora's complexion changed, and the original smile disappeared immediately from the moment he heard the name, and he said coldly, "He's not my father."

Gamora's sudden change of face startled Star-Lord, and he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, but he didn't know how to make it up.

Gamora also realized that she seemed to scare Star-Lord, took a deep breath and said: "Thanos invaded the mother planet, killed my parents in front of me, tortured me, and transformed me into a killing machine , so when he said he would help Ronan destroy the entire planet, I couldn't stand by, so..."

Gamora did not continue to say the next words, but Star-Lord already understood, and at the same time he felt a little pity for Gamora's experience. He felt that Gamora was also a very pitiful person. When he thought of his own experience and his mother, I can't help but feel very similar to Gamora.

This night, the two chatted here for a long, long time, telling each other and exposing their deepest secrets to each other and cuddling with each other.

until……

Boom!Boom!
Crackling!

The lips of the two who were in the stage of being involuntary were already close at hand, but were interrupted by the sound of fighting and smashing in the bar behind them.

As soon as Star-Lord held back his anger and turned his head, he saw Rocket and Groot fighting Drax in the bar.

"No way!" Xingjue complained helplessly, and hurried over to fight.

When I entered, I saw Drax riding on Groot and beating him violently. Rocket took out his big gun of more than one meter and prepared to shoot Drax.

The two hurried forward to pull them apart, while understanding the situation and trying to reconcile their relationship.

"This reptile doesn't understand anything, and makes irresponsible remarks." Drax complained angrily.

Rocket poked his neck and said, "What I said is the truth!"

"You have no respect for me!" Drax growled angrily.

"This is also true!" Rocket continued to answer forcefully, holding his neck.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Star-Lord's hair was messed up and he hurriedly stopped both parties.

"You're calling me a reptile, big fool!" Just as Drax stopped first, the rocket exploded, and the big gun in his hand was already hooked on the trigger. "You are just like everyone else, you will only laugh at me."

Xingjue hurriedly comforted: "Rocket, you are drunk, no one will laugh at you."

"He said that he thought I was something ridiculous, that's what he said." Rocket yelled with a slight breakdown. "I don't want to be transformed. I don't want to be torn into pieces, and then disassembled and reassembled, and finally turn into something... some little monster."

Hearing this, everyone was silent, including Drax, and realized that what he said seemed to be too much and hurt the Rockets.

"Rocket, no one calls you a little monster." Star-Lord tried to comfort him.

"You call me reptile, he calls me rat." Rocket pointed at Gamora and Drax, and then raised the big gun in his hand. "Let's see if you can still laugh if I shoot five or six bullets in your face."

As he spoke, he was about to pull the trigger.

"No, no, no, Rocket, calm down, calm down!" Xingjue hurried forward to stop, he and Gamora were just about to start, at this time, Rocket should not let a bullet yellow. "Rocket, think about it, 40 billion, 40 billion, Rocket, calm down, bear with it, after tonight, you will have money."

It seems that Xingjue's words played a role. Thinking of the huge sum of 40 billion, the Rockets finally put down their guns.

But Drax was not reconciled. He didn't come here for money. He came here to find Ronan and avenge his wife and children. He came out with Xingjue for revenge, but Xingjue brought him here , he felt cheated, and said angrily: "We came here through half the galaxy, and not even half of Ronan's hair was hurt."

After saying that, he ignored Star-Lord and the others, turned around and left resolutely, not looking back no matter how Star-Lord shouted from behind.

At this moment, the back door of the bar opened, and Gamora's contact came out of it, bringing them good news.

"Ms. Gamora, I'm here to pick you up to meet my master."

Several people looked at each other, followed behind her, and soon came to her owner, the collector's snow harvesting area.

Stepping into this area, one sees transparent boxes lined up next to each other, in which are placed various living and dead products of various civilizations, and even a special Lanxing dog.

"Let me introduce you, Ilyativan, Collector."

Walking to the center of the room, the four of them met the owner of these collections and the buyer of the universe spirit ball in their hands.

"Dear Gamora, it's a great honor to meet your true self." Tiwan gave Gamora a non-standard hand kiss when he came up.

"Forget these etiquettes, Tiwan, we brought what you want." Gamora interrupted.

Tiwan was about to answer, when suddenly his eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet when he passed Groot, and he couldn't move his eyes, exclaiming: "What is this?"

Groot replied: "I am Groot!"

"I never expected to meet Groot. Sir, please be sure to sell your body to me. I will pay now." Tivan walked up to Groot and said seriously: "Of course, don't Worry about it after you die."

He had heard of the race of Groot, but as far as he knew, this race was extinct. It was a pity, but now seeing a live Groot made him interested in collecting it.

As for Groot, his answer was still one sentence.

"I'm Groot!"

"Okay, Tiwan, it took us half a week to get this Cosmic Spirit Orb, and we came to trade it with you." Seeing that Rocket's eyes were red, Gamora interrupted directly.

Tiwan took a deep look at Gamora, and then said expectantly: "Okay, let's take a look at what you brought first."

With a wink from Gamora, Star-Lord took out the cosmic spirit ball and handed it to Tiwan.

On the other side, the unwilling Drax directly robbed an interstellar phone station and asked them to notify Ronan that the Cosmic Spirit Orb was here.

In the collector's room, Tiwan had already opened the shell of the cosmic spirit ball, revealing the power gem inside, and at the same time told everyone about the origin of the gem.

"What, this is the power gem!"

Xingjue's eyes were full of shock, but at the same time his heart was filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, the first business I just entered the universe actually found the power gem. This will definitely make Yondu look at him with admiration, and maybe even Saga will reward him. If I can learn one and a half moves from Saga, then It was really good.

I really didn't expect that the treasure I had been seeking for so long was actually in my hands all along.

"At one time, there was a group that controlled this power, but even they were quickly destroyed by it."

"Look, this luster... is so beautiful!"

Tiwan was still explaining, Star-Lord was still imagining the rewards he might get after giving the gem to Saga, but Rocket was anxious about his own 40 billion, and urged Tiwan: "Very good, very good, we are all intoxicated by it Now, what about our money?!"

Xingjue was interrupted by Rocket's words. He paused for a while and thought about it, but he didn't stop it. After all, he had already negotiated the money, so he should trade first. Anyway, he already knew where the gem was, and it was time for him to appear as a thief. .

40 billion, 40 billion!

I can't spend my whole life!

For the rest of my life... spend... no... end!
