Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 99 The Excitement of Butterfly Creatures

Bai Haitang slapped his hand on his face and slid down. He encountered a disaster with a giant beast and was finished!

"Master Jack, let's prepare to evacuate the people first. The other seven tenants must also be notified. The defense of the space channel in the Bonucci Industrial Zone is probably not enough. We need to strengthen it, especially the space defense."

Jack's face was not looking good at this time. After hearing Bai Haitang's words, he nodded immediately and sent an emergency evacuation order to the local government.

The detection data was also sent to the seven tenants, asking them to send out reconnaissance ships to verify the situation themselves. The choice of whether to withdraw or not was in their hands.

"Should we ask the lord to dispatch a joint fleet to resist the Void Energy Devouring Fish?" Chen Wen asked.

Jack shook his head. "No, that's not how the combined fleet should be used. There are too many Void Devouring Fish. Even if we put all the combined fleets in, it won't be enough. There's no need to risk such a huge loss and start a war."

"Have you informed Lian of this? Have you received any response?"

Deng Jingting quickly replied: "We have informed the Human Rights Union, and they said they have sent investigators to investigate."

Tian Jian suddenly suggested at this time: "Doesn't our Fleet Marine Corps have a Space Beast Squadron? The Void Butterflies are also space creatures that have mastered the ability of space storms. Why not send them over to monitor and investigate? As they are both space forces, they may have some special effects in terms of sensing."

Bai Haitang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she agreed to Tian Jian's proposal. She gave the order to Lena, asking her to send the Star Team Butterfly Squadron to perform a joint reconnaissance mission with the reconnaissance ship.

Reina was very confused when she received the order. Their Marines were needed to carry out reconnaissance at all times. Wasn't the reconnaissance capability of the reconnaissance ship much stronger than theirs?

No matter how many doubts she had in her mind, Lena had to execute the order immediately after receiving it. She immediately ordered the Void Team to assemble and used a troop transport to transport the young Butterfly over.

The Marines, who have used animal training techniques and cultivated feelings with the butterflies since they were eggs and have grown up with them, are comforting the butterflies as they explore like curious babies in the cabin. Although the butterflies are not yet as big as battleships like their parents, their bodies have now grown to a wingspan of more than 20 meters and are nearly seven meters long.

They can already initially launch space storms, the damage of which can barely destroy a level 4 conventional warship. And because of their strong spatial talent, the Butterfly is very capable of moving in the void under the command of the trainer, especially short-distance space jumps, which the level 4 psychic marines are far behind.

Unfortunately, the growth period of star creatures is too long. It will take at least dozens or even hundreds of years for butterfly creatures to reach adulthood. That is the peak period for their talents to be realized.

But there is also an advantage now. There is no shortage of resources in the Star Sea Territory. Various psychic materials and high-energy nutrient solutions are available for them to eat. In addition, there are biological researchers who monitor their physical condition for a long time and adjust their diet and training at all times, making their growth potential much stronger than that of their parents.

They can reach the strength of their parents in a shorter time and leave them behind.

The group of star butterflies that Liu Wen met showed a combat power close to level seven. Now that they are being scientifically cultivated and have sufficient resources to grow, these butterfly creatures are very likely to grow to level seven or above. The fifty-four void butterflies that hatched mean they have fifty-four level seven potentials, and their intelligence is no less than that of humans.

Originally, Liu Wen had high hopes for them, but he did not expect that he would acquire the level seven technology so quickly. It was very likely that before the butterflies grew to level seven, he would be able to mass-produce level seven rule battleships.

Therefore, the importance of this group of butterfly creatures has declined a lot, but they are still a very core sequence in the Galaxy Fleet, and the resource supply has not decreased.

After the transport ship reached its location, the fifty-four butterfly creatures immediately left the spaceship with their trainers. As void creatures, they still prefer to fly freely in the void.

But when the Marines contacted the reconnaissance ship and rushed to the space disturbance area, the butterflies suddenly became excited and circled around the space disturbance area, as if they wanted to go in but were afraid to.

The researchers who had just arrived on board the research vessel discovered this scene and quickly asked the trainer to calm their companions and explore the specific cause through mental fluctuations.

But the butterfly is still a cub after all. Although its intelligence will be no less than that of humans when it grows up, human cubs cannot even express their thoughts clearly when they are cubs, let alone the butterfly, which is equivalent to a baby of a few months old at this time. The trainer can only feel the emotions of excitement, desire, and fear through the fluctuations of his mind, but he can never figure out the specific situation.

The researchers were also confused and began to summarize the information sent back by the trainers, trying to find some common points to infer the specific reasons. Soon, several common points emerged.

It contains what they want and it is delicious, but they cannot defeat it and are afraid of being eaten.

Considering the things in the space disturbance area, researchers boldly speculated that the void energy-eating fish inside might be the main reason for the butterfly creature disturbance.

"Don't be so sure. Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. Don't jump to conclusions." A researcher said cautiously.

"If it's not the Void Energy Devouring Fish that attracts them, what else could it be? We have done tests on space energy attraction before. According to previous reactions, butterflies would not be so excited about space energy." said the second researcher who proposed the hypothesis.

Number One pointed to the data on the detection equipment and said, "The space energy during our test cannot be compared with the space disturbance area. The space energy inside can form various space structures by itself, and the space energy content in the space disturbance area is 328 times that of the void. Even so, it can still maintain the flow of the void level without destroying the space interlayer. This shows that these space energies are abnormal compared to normal space energies."

Researcher No. 2 could only admit that the other party was right, but still insisted: "Although what you said is right, I still stick to my idea. The void energy-devouring fish is more attractive to butterflies than space energy. They are both beings with extraordinary spatial talents, and they are all group creatures. It is normal for there to be a food chain." Researcher No. 1 did not argue with the other party anymore, but conducted a test on the system and sent several flying dragon-type biological warships to send two butterfly creatures into the space disturbance area to see the situation.

The application from the researcher soon arrived at Bai Haitang's desk. After discussion, they agreed to the other party's experimental application. The butterfly creatures were originally photographed by them for testing, and now that they had an unexpected gain, they naturally could not let it go.

A few hours later, ten modified flying dragon-type biological warships escorted the two butterfly creatures into the space disturbance area. The further they went inside, the more excited the butterfly creatures became. A layer of space bubbles gradually covered their bodies, taming the restless space energy in the surrounding area, making it as orderly and calm as soldiers, yet carrying a dangerous aura.

The data transmitted back by the detection equipment placed on the biological battleship and on the back of the butterfly creature brought happy smiles to the faces of several biological researchers.

"Sure enough, it is not so easy for us to study the star creatures clearly, even if they are just star creatures from a subspace." Researcher No. 1 said excitedly.

Researcher No. 3 also smiled brightly. He quickly sorted out the data and sighed, "There is no accident in the birth of space creatures, and there is no such thing as a simple continuation of a species. I now doubt that this butterfly was not born in that subspace at all. It may have been born in the universe and then brought in to reproduce and survive until now."

"Otherwise they wouldn't be so excited when faced with something they've never seen before. There's only one possibility: their ancestors have seen it before and have a deep memory of it that's beneficial to them. This is why a message was left in their genes, causing them to react when they see it again."

Researcher No. 2 was still thinking about whether it was the space energy or the void energy-devouring fish that attracted them, so he said: "Is it the space energy that makes them grow faster, or is it because it is beneficial for them to prey on void energy-devouring fish?"

Number One laughed and said, "Why can't it be both?"

Researcher No. 2 was stunned, and suddenly realized that it made sense for the other party to lead the team. He was just being stubborn.

"The captain is right. Butterflies can control the power of space storms. They are also gifted in space tracking and jumping. But they can smooth out the violent space energy like a breeze. This is much stronger than the space inhibitor developed by the space department. At least they can't stabilize the space disturbance here and can only let it expand."

While a few people were still chatting, the biological battleship had already started curvature navigation under the protection of two butterflies and was approaching the core.

A few hours later, the biological battleship brought the butterflies to the core area where the Void Energy Devouring Fish appeared. At this time, the two butterflies had become a circle larger than when they just entered, perhaps because they had swallowed too much space energy. Their wingspan reached 22 meters. As their wings flapped, circles of space ripples spread to the surroundings, making the space energy within hundreds of kilometers around them become unusually peaceful.

The Void Energy Devouring Fish at the core seemed to have also discovered the arrival of these uninvited guests. They appeared one after another around the warship. Their nimble figures were looming in the violent space energy. The two butterflies became more and more excited and afraid. The two opposing emotions were transmitted to the trainer through mental fluctuations, and then transmitted to the scientific research ship through the trainer.

"Sure enough, I knew that the main reason was these Void Energy Devouring Fish. Maybe this thing is the main food source of the butterflies, but it is not found in that subspace. That's why they keep targeting the Overlord's fleet and even use their eggs to exchange for synthetic elements. Maybe they know that by following the Overlord, they can get rid of the subspace and let their offspring return to the big universe where their ancestors lived." The second researcher said, clapping his hands excitedly.

Researcher No. 1 also supported the auxiliary information processing equipment on his head: "Let the biological battleship try to capture two void energy-devouring fish. If they are indeed food for the butterflies, then send the remaining butterflies in and send more biological battleships to assist. Maybe if the butterflies eat enough, this space disturbance area will dissipate on its own. Even if it can't, maybe we can drive away these void energy-devouring fish."

"We can give it a try." Researcher No. 3 did not have much hope for this. The flying dragon-type biological battleships had no advantage in fighting the void energy-devouring fish here. On the contrary, they would probably be easily destroyed by it. It would be too difficult to catch them, and the butterflies themselves were still young ones. Their abilities were too poor and they did not have the ability to hunt alone.

Even if it is really a matter of food chain, it is a very dangerous thing for young butterflies to go deep into the area with a large number of Void Energy Devouring Fish to catch food on their own. Otherwise, the butterflies would not emit fearful mental fluctuations, which means that they themselves are aware that they are not capable of catching Void Energy Devouring Fish.

At the suggestion of scientific researchers, the biological battleship used the cage force field to try to capture the void energy-devouring fish, but it was broken by the sudden surge of energy every time, causing the force field generator to be damaged due to energy overload. Fortunately, it was a biological organ, so as long as there was energy, it was easy to recover.

After struggling for several hours, the two butterflies had already conveyed their fatigue to the trainer. The ten biological warships had not captured a single Void Energy Devouring Fish. The densely packed figures around them seemed to be mocking them.

For safety reasons, Bai Haitang withdrew the biological battleship in time and escorted the two butterflies back home.

But at this time the Void Energy Devouring Fish refused to give in.

They swam rapidly around the fleet, and the space disturbance they caused made the curvature navigation of the biological warships ineffective. They couldn't even establish a complete space bubble, and could only fly at sub-light speed. But at this speed, it would take decades to leave the space disturbance area. Obviously, this group of void energy-eating fish intended to consume the energy of the biological warships and butterflies before taking action, and they planned to surround and kill them.

"We can't go on like this. We need to immediately dispatch the First Vanguard Corps to escort the remaining Star Forces to the rescue." Bai Haitang acted decisively and sent out the only flying dragon-type biological corps that he had currently cultivated.

In the Bonucci star system, on the biological battleship breeding platform located in the star orbit, one biological battleship after another flew out and gathered together under the editing of the intelligent center to form a complete biological army. After adjusting the direction, they directly jumped to the target location.

The remaining members of the Butterfly Team had been waiting here for a long time. After the biological army arrived, they immediately entered. According to the data given by the scientific researchers, each of them occupied a position, trying to make the butterfly's space coverage cover more biological warships.

The biological army set sail, but the number of more than fifty butterflies was still too few. Nearly half of the biological warships could not be covered by their stable area and had to withdraw and wait for orders.

Fifty-two butterflies, under the escort of thousands of biological warships, forcefully entered the core area and joined forces with the team trapped there. After being defended by their companions, the two exhausted butterflies simply recuperated. Some of the food carried in the biological warships was also delivered to them so that they could recover quickly by eating.

The arrival of thousands of biological warships caused the void energy-eating fish to evacuate to the deep, and the stirred space energy was also reduced a lot.
