Chapter 438 The Monster's Purpose

The light blue monsters and the original owner of the armor were closely related, considered descendants, though not direct descendants, but with close blood ties.

Before Chen Luo touched the gem on the helmet, they had received news that the original owner of the armor was engaged in a desperate battle with a powerful opponent between star systems.

However, they didn't know the specific location until the gem on the helmet emitted a signal, allowing them to pinpoint it.

Having located the original owner of the armor, they naturally had to investigate the destination.

But reaching such a distant location wasn't something they could do on a whim; it required extensive preparation and came at a significant cost.

The quickest method was spatial teleportation, but because the situation was unclear and their abilities were limited, they couldn't teleport anyone above the Wang (King) level.

So, they chose a group of descendant members who were about to break through to the Huang (Emperor) level, instructing them to suppress their strength and delay their breakthrough until they reached Blue Star.

The purpose of these descendant members' journey was twofold: first, to confirm whether the original owner of the armor was dead, which they had already confirmed through the evil energy permeating Blue Star—he was dead.

Second, with the original owner of the armor dead, they were to attempt to retrieve the legacy he left behind: the armor and the crystal.

Although the hope wasn't great, they still had to try.

The armor was crafted at great expense, and recovering it would help them recover some vitality.

Third, according to their information, the original owner of the armor's opponent would have paid a heavy price even if they killed him.

They might be dead too, or if not, they would be in a near-death, heavily injured state.

If dead, they would seize his legacy as well.

If not, what was the extent of his injuries?

This required finding the culprit and verifying his condition.

The light blue monsters weren't acting, wanting to let the other monsters search and act as the first wave of cannon fodder.

If the culprit was found, they would test his strength.

If the monsters failed, they would have to step in and conduct further probes.

Testing the culprit's strength with their lives.

This was extremely dangerous, as the opponent was too powerful, and even heavily injured, he was still likely beyond their ability to deal with.

Therefore, the light blue monsters mocked themselves, realizing they were also bait, everyone was bait.

Even if these baits managed to ascertain the culprit's strength before dying, what use would that be?

Of course, there were backup plans.

The gem in the red-eyed monster's eye was a communication tool.

If the gem on the helmet was for voice chat, then the red gem was for video chat.

The direct descendants of the original armor owner, far away, could clearly understand the red-eyed monster's environment, everything it encountered, and what happened through the red gem.

Upon encountering the culprit, they could assess his injuries and remaining strength, then weigh whether to risk everything and have the strongest monster descend personally.

How could they send monsters in a weak-to-strong sequence, letting you play games? Were they that stupid?

The first wave of descending monsters was both bait and cannon fodder.

Poor monsters.

Teleporting over required a significant cost, so what about going back? How would they return?

If this wave of monsters couldn't find anything of value on Blue Star, most of them would remain on Blue Star forever.

Only by finding something valuable would the mastermind send someone to retrieve it and take them back.

If they couldn't find anything, they would have to keep searching, keep searching...

Clearly, in the previous life, the monsters hadn't found anything valuable enough.

The red-eyed monster obtained the armor's upper body, but…

(I think I've made it clear enough, after thinking about it, I decided to reveal most of the mystery.)



Kangaroo Continent, in the base.

Fa Wang wore a dog-headed helmet, a weapon Long Yu had made for him, as Fa Wang wasn't used to wielding a staff.

Fa Wang stuck out his tongue: "I'll go, I'll go attract those monsters to our ambush."

Only a little over a hundred monsters had arrived on Kangaroo Continent, and if too few people were sent to meet them, many would die in battle.

If everyone was sent, wouldn't the enemy realize and run away?

Therefore, they had to lure the monsters into the encirclement.

Who was more suitable for this role than Fa Wang, with his dual wind and lightning abilities?

Mi Li nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll add some buffs for you."

Fa Wang was momentarily stunned, then remembered that Mi Li could not only heal but also apply various buffs.

The effects were much better than those of other light-attribute users; not to mention, Mi Li was the only Huang (Emperor) level light-attribute user.

It was just that Chen Luo and the others had never encountered an enemy worthy of Mi Li's support abilities.

Alright, add them, let's see how much you can add to a dog.

Three rays of light entered Fa Wang's body in succession.

One amplified strength, one amplified speed, and the last would automatically heal Fa Wang's injuries when he was hurt.

Feeling the amplification within his body, Fa Wang actually cried.

Strength was amplified by a factor of two, speed by half.

So, it wasn't just Da Gou who prevented me from defeating Hai Ji, but also you, Mi Li.

If you had given me a buff back then, when I was at the Wang (King) level sparring with Hai Ji, how could I have lost?

Hmph, the dog is leaving.

Watching Fa Wang leave, Mi Li shouted, "It only lasts for about five minutes, so pay attention."

The monsters landed on Kangaroo Continent via flight. After a brief whispered discussion, they prepared to split into several teams to explore Kangaroo Continent simultaneously.

The light blue monsters' orders were to slaughter the Blue Star natives while searching for the culprit.

Finding the culprit was the priority, and they were to kill any relatively powerful natives they encountered along the way.

First, they would do a rough search to see if they could find him, then conduct a carpet search.

Why conduct the slaughter?

First, because they were eyesores and nuisances.

Second, imagine if your relative fell into a river and was eaten by a group of fish. The fish didn't understand that it was wrong, they were ignorant, only trying to survive.

But if you saw those fish, and they had eaten your relative, would you choose to turn a blind eye, forgive them, or choose to kill all the fish?

Same logic, anyone would do the same. In the monsters' eyes, the Blue Star creatures were just fish.

The monsters naturally had to spread out to increase efficiency, preparing to split into six groups.

But Chen Luo didn't plan to let them separate, he would wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if one group was killed, the other groups would receive the news and choose to flee.

Were Blue Star's ability users the only ones with mental communication?

Chen Luo had to guard against that.

With the strength Chen Luo had organized, would killing a little over a hundred monsters be difficult?

The monsters had just landed and were preparing to separate when Fa Wang arrived.

In Fa Wang's eyes, were these monsters enemies?

No, they weren't. Before becoming the deputy leader, they were points; now, they were resources.

Resources that dazzled the dog's eyes.

The resources for Fa Wang's advancement came partly from Fa Wang's earnings as a dog assassin, but mostly from Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo didn't say it, Fa Wang couldn't not repay him.
