Chapter 981
byInside the Purple Star Battleship, in an extremely luxurious chamber there was a short and fat old man. He was nervously holding a compass treasure, pouring divine thoughts into it, trying to contact Kemon in the power room. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get any response.
“What on earth is going on？” The short and fat old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and stomped his feet in a hurry.
After a little thought, he hurriedly opened the door and prepared to rush to the power room to see the situation in person.
As soon as the door was opened, he saw two young men with a murderous aura rushing towards him.
The old man didn’t think too much and immediately shouted at the two of them： “You two come here！”
The lead Shentu’s eyes lit up and he said in a low voice, “It’s this old guy. He’s the Tushi on this battleship. I saw him go to the power room that day！”
Yang Kai nodded imperceptibly and followed Shentu, quickly coming to the old man.
“What’s the situation in the power room? Why doesn’t Kemon reply to my message?” The old man shouted angrily.
Shentu grinned at him, revealing his gloomy fangs： “Kemon is already dead, of course he can’t reply to you！”
The old man’s expression froze, and he suddenly realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the room, a bright electric snake surged out of Shentu’s body. The electric snake was like a living thing and directly wrapped around the old man’s body, binding him.
The powerful current made the old man’s body paralyze in an instant, extremely stiff and unable to move.
“Take him and go！” Shentu looked around, confirmed that no one noticed here, turned around and galloped in another direction.
Yang Kai, with a cold face, picked up the old man who was bound by the electric snake and said lightly, “If you want to live, cooperate obediently, otherwise I’ll kill you！”
Although the Tushi of this Purple Star Battleship is not young, his strength is not high. He is only at the Supernatural Third-layer Realm level, so he was easily captured by Shentu in one encounter. Being picked up by Yang Kai, he couldn’t resist at all.
Generally, the cultivation bases of cartographers are not high. Because they invest a lot of energy and time in researching star maps and the mysteries of the starry sky, and simply don’t have much time for cultivation.
This also results in them not having much self-protection ability when encountering danger.
“Who are you people？” the old man shouted sternly.
“Who we are is none of your business. You just need to take us out of this Chaos Abyss. When we leave here, we will naturally let you go and ensure that not a hair on your head will be harmed！” Shen Tu said coldly while running quickly.
“Alright, I’ll take you away, but you have to go to the battleship’s power room first. Otherwise, it’s a dead end！” the old man shouted in a hurry.
Shen Tu sneered again and again: “Do you think we’re fools? We managed to escaped from the power room. There are now a lot of Purple Star people gathered over there. Going there now isn’t courting death?
“You don’t understand. There is naturally a reason for me to ask you to go to the power room. It’s not to let you court death！” The old man’s voice was mournful. “If you don’t take me there, not only will the three of us die, but this battleship won’t be able to be saved either.”
“It’s best if the battleship can’t be saved. It has nothing to do with me！” Shen Tu had a gloating expression on his face.
“Why can’t I get through to you… Now there is a huge danger about to sweep through the entire Chaos Abyss. If we don’t act quickly, no one will be able to survive.”
Shen Tu’s steps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the old man blankly： “What do you mean？ Explain it clearly.”
“Look outside yourself！” Instead of answering, the old man gestured outside.
Shen Tu and Yang Kai exchanged a glance and both felt that the old man was not scaremongering. They rushed to one side of the corridor and looked out through the transparent window.
Outside, there were still those huge and beautiful stars. But at this moment, a hazy halo appeared on the surface of those beautiful stars rich in extremely strong world energy, looking illusory and ethereal, as if in the clouds.
The powerful fields generated by these stars themselves seemed to be a bit disordered.
And the warriors of the Sword League and the Purple Star who were originally in a great battle also did not continue to fight. Instead, they drove various lights and rushed towards their respective warships at high speed.
“They are coming back. What’s going on？” Shen Tu’s face changed drastically. “Could it be because of the crystal cannon I fired？”
Yang Kai looked at him leisurely and said nothing.
Shen Tu was very embarrassed by being looked at. He shrugged and said, “I didn’t expect this to happen. I just wanted to vent my anger…”
“I don’t think it has anything to do with you. Otherwise, the people of the Sword League wouldn’t have retreated but would have chased after us. Since both sides are retreating, “they should have perceived some approaching danger.” Yang Kai looked at the old man he was holding in his hand and said in a deep voice, “What exactly is that danger?”
“Domain field riot！ You can’t feel it here. The reason why they all came back is precisely because they felt that the domain fields of those stars in the Chaotic Abyss are very different from before, so they dare not stay outside. We have to leave here quickly. If it’s too late, even hiding in the battleship won’t be safe！”
“Domain field riot？” Shen Tu’s complexion changed.
“The greatest danger in the Chaotic Abyss！” The old man hurriedly explained, “Do you think those chaotic domain fields are just as simple as making people lose their way？ You’re wrong. The stars in the Chaotic Abyss contain unimaginable world energy. These world energies always maintain a saturated state, which is the limit that this space can bear. Usually, they can still maintain a balance, but if there is excessive power stimulation, this balance will be broken, and those domain fields will explode. You can imagine the consequences, right？”
Yang Kai and Shen Tu looked at each other and both had pale complexions.
“Do you guys understand at all？” The old man sprayed saliva, not having the awareness of being a prisoner at all.
“Do you understand?” Shen Tu asked in a melancholy tone.
“Nonsense!” Old man is a Diagram Master. If I don’t understand, who understands? The old man rebuked without thinking, directly making Shen Tu speechless.
“Since you understand, why didn’t you stop them before the two sides fought？ It was because of their battle that the balance of the field here was broken, right？” Yang Kai looked at him coldly.
The old man’s expression became embarrassed, and he was no longer as overbearing as before. He stammered, “I only saw it after they started fighting. My star-gazing technique is not all-knowing and all-powerful… Who could have thought it would be so dangerous here？”
“Star-gazing technique？” Yang Kai frowned.
“It’s a mystery that all map masters are proficient in. I’ll explain it to you another day. What should we do now？ This old guy doesn’t seem to be lying either.” Shen Tu suddenly had no idea.
If what the old man said was true, then the effort he and Yang Kai had put into capturing this old guy was simply meaningless. Once the field in the Chaotic Abyss erupted, they wouldn’t even have a place to hide.
Staying inside the battleship, there was at least a layer of protection.
This was a Saint King Grade High-Rank battleship！
But many powerful warriors of Purple Star were about to return to the battleship soon, and staying here wasn’t a perfect solution either.
“You come up with an idea. Isn’t your thinking very agile？” Shen Tu looked at Yang Kai with burning eyes, hoping that he could show him a way to survive.
“What’s the status of this map master in Purple Star？” Yang Kai suddenly asked.
“His status is extremely high!” Shen Tu looked at the old man. “Among all the forces on Purple Star, Master Uso’s ability to draw star maps can rank among the top three. He has always been the object that other major powers strongly solicit.”
“You know me？” The old man looked at Shen Tu in surprise.
“I’ve heard of you.” Shen Tu grinned.
“Let’s go to the power room.” Yang Kai said in a deep voice.
Shen Tu’s eyes narrowed. He seemed a little hesitant, but after careful consideration for a while, he also nodded and said, “I’ll listen to you. If what he said is true, going outside is also a dead end.”
“Let’s go！” Yang Kai picked up the mapmaker named Uso and returned all the way to the power room.
In the corridor outside the power room, it was overcrowded. The warriors who had returned from the battlefield of the Abyss of Chaos and those who had stayed in the battleship before all rushed over, wanting to know why a crystal cannon had been fired just now. Not only did it kill many enemies, but also some of their own people were killed together.
They were all very angry because if they were unlucky just now, they might have been the ones killed.
But after learning about the situation in the power room, their anger immediately subsided.
There was no living person in the power room. Kemon and more than a dozen other Saint Realm warriors had all been killed by unknown enemies.
In the power room, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern and awe-inspiring. His cold eyes swept over the situation in the power room and stopped on the two pairs of opened shackles. He snorted coldly： “Trash！”
With his eyesight, he could naturally see how Kemon died. Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened here, he could roughly guess the general situation.
The warrior who was chained launched a desperate counterattack, killed Kemon when he was careless, snatched the key, released his companion, and set off a bloody storm in the power room. After killing everyone those two escaping little mice controlled the battleship and fired a crystal cannon at the battlefield, causing heavy losses to the Purple Star warriors.
Kemon, this waste, deserves to die！
The middle-aged man was extremely angry in his heart.
Just as he was about to give the order to search for the escaped person, a stern shout suddenly came from outside the power room： “Who are you！ Let go of Master Wusuo quickly, or you will look good！”
The middle-aged man’s expression turned cold, and he looked up and out.
Over there, a somewhat cynical voice came： “Make way, make way. Well, don’t think about doing anything. As soon as you move, your Master Wusuo will be finished.”
A moment later, three figures appeared in the power room.
Two strange young men. One walked forward swaggeringly, and the other held Wu Su’s lifeblood with a cold expression, enveloping him with divine thoughts and holy yuan, looking as if he might take action at any time.
The middle-aged man’s eyes shrank, and he shouted, “You dare to come back?”
Although he had never seen Yang Kai and Shen Tu, the middle-aged man was sure that it was these two little mice who escaped from the power room and fired the crystal cannon to kill dozens of Purple Star Warriors.
Looking at them, the middle-aged man’s heart was filled with monstrous anger, and he couldn’t wait to kill them with a single palm to relieve the hatred in his heart.
