Chapter 179 Going to the Enemy's Lair

"Old Hu, the fight hasn't even started yet, and you already think you're going to lose?"

Li Chenzhou frowned, looking at Hu Tao's expression and then at Dugu Tianfeng, who had also teleported over upon learning of Li Chenzhou's arrival.

"Little Li! That's a cosmic fleet! With the strength of our Duo Luo World, even with a war fortress, we can't possibly be their opponent. We can't even reach them!"

Hu Tao said with a wry smile.

"In the records of our Duo Luo World, when we first encountered the Devourers, we could still fight them evenly because we also had a cosmic fleet back then.

But later, the Devourers came with a large number of reinforcements, completely destroying our fleet, leaving not a single spaceport in orbit. Fortunately, they wanted to use our world as a pasture, so they didn't destroy it. Otherwise, a few cosmic battleships firing together would have blown up our planet.

And now, no matter how you calculate it, we will lose this war in the end!

The Devourer fleet must have only two thoughts when they come here. One is to simply abandon our world, in which case they will directly destroy our planet with cosmic battleships, and we will have no power to fight back.

The other is that they still want to keep this place. If that's the case, we might be able to struggle for a while because if they want to conquer us, they must land on the planet and fight us.

With the war fortress, we can definitely fight them for a while, but the problem is… when the Devourers realize that the price they have to pay to conquer us is too high, they will still choose to give up.

So, for us, this is basically a war without victory. Even if you can send us reinforcements of cosmic battleships, there won't be enough time. We can't train enough soldiers who can board cosmic battleships to fight!!!"

"Yes! Duo Luo World is just one of many pastures for the Devourers. The Devourers naturally want to keep this place, but if the price is too high, they may directly blow up your planet with cosmic battleships!"

Li Chenzhou nodded and then smiled.

"However, from what you just said, Old Hu, you at least admitted one thing, that is, if we don't consider cosmic battleships and only talk about fighting inside the planet, you think the Devourers are no match for us, right?"

"Of course, with the war fortress and the battle vehicles, if the Devourers land and fight, we are not afraid of them!"

Hu Tao replied.

Cosmic battleships are naturally powerful. Not to mention the range of the beam cannons on them, the barrels alone are calculated in kilometers. But this thing cannot enter the planet's interior at all. Once it really comes in, it won't be able to take off.

So, if he had to fight inside the planet, Hu Tao was indeed not afraid of the Devourers.

"Then, let's find a place where they can't use cosmic battleships and can only fight us on the ground as our decisive battleground, what do you think?"

Li Chenzhou asked with a smile.

"What?"

Hu Tao asked in confusion.

"Where?"

"The Devourers won't care too much about your world, so if they feel the war is not going well, they may directly abandon it and destroy it!"

Li Chenzhou replied.

"But if we change to a place they don't dare to destroy at all to fight them, their cosmic fleet will be equivalent to being directly abandoned, right?"

"A place that the Devourers don't dare to destroy? How could there be…"

Hu Tao frowned and shook his head, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something and immediately widened his eyes, looking at Li Chenzhou.

"Are you saying… the Devourers' lair???"

"You can find their lair?"

Dugu Tianfeng also stood up, asking somewhat excitedly—hearing about the Devourers' lair, even the always calm Dugu Tianfeng couldn't hold back!

"I came this time because of this matter!"

Li Chenzhou said.

"I can not only go directly to the Devourers' lair, but I also know that they are now looking for the origin of the universe everywhere. Once they find enough of it, their life form will evolve.

At that time, even if they don't use cosmic fleets and only fight us on land, we will definitely not be their opponents. The entire universe may not be able to find a creature that can stop them."

"The origin of the universe? What is that?"

Hu Tao asked.

"This… have you read xuanhuan novels? The Primordial Qi, Hongmeng Qi, and the like mentioned in them should be similar. In short, as long as the Devourers get this thing, they will become invincible!"

Li Chenzhou said.

"Remember I told you that my world seems very special, and even when we only had Level 1 and 2 ability users, Devourers had already entered our world?"

"Yes! You said that!"

Hu Tao nodded and then suddenly realized something, staring at Li Chenzhou with wide eyes.

"Could it be… in your world… there is that Primordial Qi?"

"That's the stuff!"

Li Chenzhou nodded and took out the glass bottle containing the origin of the universe.

"The Devourers established an underground base in our world, hiding there to extract the origin of the universe, but we found out!

Now, we have successfully stopped them from absorbing the origin of the universe, but… in this universe, my world is not the only one with the origin of the universe!

We can't possibly find all the planets containing the origin of the universe and prevent the Devourers from absorbing it, so our only way is to strike at the root of the problem and attack their lair directly!

Only by killing the Devourers before they collect enough of the origin of the universe and complete their evolution can we get rid of their threat. Otherwise, all life in the entire universe will become the Devourers' things to take and demand, and this universe will become the Devourers' fresh food supermarket, the kind you don't have to pay for!"

"…"

Li Chenzhou's information was too intense. Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng were obviously shocked by the news and didn't react for a while, and Li Chenzhou didn't bother them.

A few minutes later, Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng finally digested all of Li Chenzhou's words. The two looked at each other, and then Hu Tao asked.

"Little… Little Li, is everything you said true?"

"I think I should be able to prove the effect of this!"

Li Chenzhou shook the bottle containing the origin of the universe and said.

"Didn't you say you have Devourer prisoners? Grab one over, let's try this thing on him! See what kind of… monster he will become!"

"This…"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hu Tao's expression suddenly became a little awkward, and he looked back at Dugu Tianfeng…
