Chapter 976

In the power room of the battleship, the young man who called himself Shen Tu was dumbfounded and at a loss. He seemingly didn’t expect Yang Kai to frame him.

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but when he saw the Saint Crystal in his hand, Shen Tu immediately knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless.

Now in this situation, it was like yellow mud falling into the crotch. Even if it wasn’t shit, it was still shit.

So he ignored the sharp gaze that Ke Meng cast at him and didn’t care about Yang Kai’s despicable act. He resolutely closed his eyes, held the Saint Crystal with both hands, and frantically ran his cultivation method starting to absorb the energy in the Saint Crystal.

It was like a destitute beggar who had to have a full meal before dying.

Now it was Yang Kai’s turn to be dumbfounded.

“Youngster, you actually dare to cause trouble within my jurisdiction. You have quite a lot of guts!” Ke Meng grinned, rushed in front of Shen Tu, and without saying a word, he punched and kicked him.

He struck extremely hard, and the sounds of bangs and pops rang out. He didn’t care about Shen Tu’s life or death at all.

But Yang Kai keenly discovered that the places he attacked avoided Shen Tu’s vital parts. It would only make Shen Tu feel intense pain without any slightest fatal danger.

He didn’t want to kill any of the martial artists here who provided power to the battleship either.

As he was beating, Ke Meng sneered and cursed non-stop. The words he said were extremely unpleasant.

Shen Tu remained silent and let him do as he pleased. His square face was distorted and deformed due to the pain, but he still keeps absorbed the power in the Saint Crystal looking as if he would not give up until he completely absorbed the energy of the Saint Crystal.

Yang Kai’s expression became playful, and his perception of Shen Tu also underwent some subtle changes.

Although Yang Kai was very disgusted with of this guy’s performance just now, it was undeniable that he was a person with extremely hard backbone and also a person who could endure extremely well.

After quite a while, Ke Meng stopped the attack, scolded for a while, and then turned around and left.

He didn’t take away the Saint Crystal in Shentu’s hand. It seemed that he defaulted that one belonged to him. However, Shentu also paid a high price for it – being beaten black and blue by Kemon. Blood even oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Gazing at Kemon’s back disappearing into the darkness, Shentu wiped the corner of his mouth, and a ray of cold light like a blade bloomed in his eyes.

He glanced at Yang Kai again and let out a soft sneer.

The Saint Crystal in his hand also lost a great deal of energy and became dim in luster because of his unrestrained and crazy absorption just now.

After being absorbed by him for a while longer, it actually directly turned into powder and slipped from his palm.

Yang Kai was slightly moved.

Just how enormous the energy contained in that Saint Crystal was, as long as one was a martial artist, they all knew. Shentu was able to absorb it all in such a short period of time, which showed that the cultivation technique he was practicing was not simple.

Yang Kai casually threw out another Saint Crystal and threw it towards him.

This time, Shentu didn’t catch it. He just looked at Yang Kai coldly, looking like a wounded and vigilant person, and sneered, “Do you think I’m a fool? Would I fall for the same trick twice?”

Yang Kai didn’t pay attention to him either and just closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Shentu looked at him for a while and felt it was quite boring. So he simply didn’t waste any more energy. He didn’t even bother with the Saint Crystal thrown beside him and ignored it as if it didn’t exist.

Time passed slowly.

The next day, Kemon distributed two holy crystals to each of the bound warriors, and Yang Kai was no exception.

After Shen Tu obtained those two holy crystals, he immediately began to absorb them. The consumption in one day had already exhausted the power in his body, and he couldn’t wait to get replenished.

In a short while, the two shares were consumed.

He licked his lips with unfinished meaning, and looked at the holy crystal that Yang Kai had thrown over yesterday which was right in front of him, with a hesitant expression. There was a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

He wanted to take it, but was afraid that Yang Kai would call Kemon over again. After being hesitant for a long time, he finally gave up with difficulty, cursing Yang Kai in his heart for being despicable, shameless, and shamelessness.

He simply closed his eyes. Not looking at the temptation that was within easy reach.

For several consecutive days, the situation was like this.

However, as time passed, Shen Tu felt that the power in his body was becoming more and more insufficient. Being continuously drained of holy yuan by the shackles and not getting sufficient replenishment, he could not maintain his state no matter what. Gradually, like the others, he became weak.

On the contrary, on Yang Kai’s side, it formed a very sharp contrast with him.

In addition to the dozen or so holy crystals that Kemon initially gave to Yang Kai, he could also get two shares every day. During this period, Yang Kai deliberately asked Kemon for some more.

He used less than half of these obtained Saint Crystals to maintain his own consumption, and the rest were all hidden by him in the Demon Mysterious Code for emergency needs.

Kemon didn’t really refuse his requests either. It seemed that because of the relationship with the beautiful woman Bia, Kemon was not only not stingy with him, but also quite generous. He not only gave Saint Crystals but also gave him two or three Saint Pills to keep him full of strength and spirit in case Bia came back at any time and took him away.

This made Shentu envy until his eyes turned red, and his gaze towards Yang Kai also became different, like looking at a gigolo who lived off a woman, full of contempt and disdain.

A few more days later, Shentu’s complexion became even worse.

He felt that if he didn’t get sufficient replenishment again, there was a danger that his current realm would slip.

Noticing this critical situation, Shentu couldn’t care less about many things. After absorbing the allocated share on a certain day, he finally couldn’t resist the temptation of that Saint Crystal and picked it up.

As he picked it up, he carefully observed Yang Kai’s reaction. But to his surprise, until he absorbed all the energy in that Saint Crystal, Yang Kai didn’t even look at him, let alone frame him like last time.

His expression relaxed, and just at this moment, another Saint Crystal flew towards him.

Shentu’s brows furrowed, reaching out to catch it, closely observing Yang Kai, his expression changing, and said in a low voice, “What do you mean？”

“No meaning. Anyway, I have more Saint Crystals than I can use up.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.

Shentu’s mouth twitched, sneering, “Even if you give them to me, I won’t be grateful to you because I’ve suffered a loss from you once. Let’s just consider it even.”

“If I wanted someone’s gratitude, there are so many people here. I could give them to anyone and get it. There’s no need to give them to you.”

“What do you want？” Shentu looked at Yang Kai vigilantly.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy of the well rope. Shentu didn’t trust Yang Kai from the bottom of his heart.

“An ally！” Yang Kai whispered and shouted.

“Ally？” Shentu’s eyes shrank, looking around for a while. After confirming that no one was paying attention here, he said meaningfully, “You have quite a lot of ideas.”

“Don’t you have any ideas？”

Shentu was at a loss for words and remained silent.

“Framing you before was because you were too noisy. I didn’t want to have anything to do with a talkative person. But now, there’s only you around me who still has some vitality. I have no choice.”

“Then I’m really honored.” Shentu chuckled softly, “But having ideas doesn’t necessarily mean being able to succeed.”

“Take one step at a time. We can’t just sit and wait for death.”

Shen Tu’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he grinned, silent and mysterious. His gaze burned as he stared at Yang Kai. Then, his smile suddenly disappeared, and he became nonchalant again. Sniffing, he said, “If you can give me a Saint Crystal every day from now on, our previous grudges will be wiped out.”

“Okay！” Yang Kai nodded generously.

Shen Tu hehe laughed and said, “I suddenly find you quite pleasing to the eye.”

Saying this, he quietly stuffed the Saint Crystal he had just obtained into his bosom, planning to use it tomorrow. With his cultivation level, he generally only needed three Saint Crystals every day to maintain his strength. Ke Meng only gave him two, in order to prevent him from having enough energy to consider other things.

“Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shen Tu.”

“Yang Kai！”

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Bi Ya went out to perform a mission, and I don’t know when she will come back. But Yang Kai estimated that once she comes back, his bad luck will also arrive. He must make some preparations before Bi Ya comes back.

But in the power room, basically everyone is extremely weak. As Yang Kai said, except for Shen Tu, who is still somewhat energetic, everyone else is simply a walking corpse. I’m afraid they don’t even have the strength to talk to him.

He couldn’t get the information he wanted from those people at all.

No matter what kind of personality Shen Tu has and whether he can achieve great things, only he is the most suitable candidate now.

“How much do you know about this big ship？” Yang Kai quietly released his spiritual thoughts and started communicating with Shen Tu.

“How much do you know？” Shen Tu asked rhetorically.

“I only know that there are Saint King Realm masters sitting here. It belongs to a force called Purple Star. I don’t know much else.”

“Then I know more than you.” Shen Tu chuckled softly. “They don’t hesitate to use a Saint King-class top-grade battleship to come to this crisis-ridden Chaotic Abyss for two women. There seems to be something on those two women that they want.”

“I’ve seen those two women.” Yang Kai interrupted him.

“You’ve seen them？” Shen Tu’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, one is at the Second Layer of the Saint Stage, and the other is at the Third Layer of the Saint Stage. They are from the Sword League. What could be on them that is worth Purple Star making such a big fuss about？”

“I don’t know about that.” Shen Tu also looked confused. “Damn it, I just accidentally ran into them outside the Chaotic Abyss and was caught by them and brought in here to be a coolie. When I get out, I will definitely destroy the entire Purple Star sooner or later.

Yang Kai looked at him in surprise.

“This is my lifelong ambition！” Shen Tu added.

“Then what about the others here？”

“They should all be from the opposing forces of Purple Star. After being captured, they were placed in the power room and worked until they died！ It’s the same for all forces, so don’t be easily captured. Otherwise, the ending will be very tragic. These are still relatively good. Some people, after being captured, will be assigned to extremely dangerous places to mine minerals, collect medicinal herbs… The feeling of not being able to control one’s life and being on the verge of death is even more pitiful than that of the people here.”

His face wore a sighing expression, as if he had had such an experience, which made Yang Kai’s tongue click in amazement.

After talking for a while, he looked at Yang Kai with great sympathy again： “But the most tragic one is you. You were actually taken a fancy to by that woman named Bi Ya. Hahaha！”

He laughed gloatingly, and Yang Kai was suddenly speechless.
