Global Era of Star trekking

Song Mingsong agreed, and the rest of the family naturally had no objections. One after another, they recalled their flagship.

On the Cangqiong, the newly acquired "Torch Warship Boarding Certificate" officially came into play, albeit with a limitation of just six people—both his grandfather and great-uncle were not included.

After all, they were headed to an unknown star domain, and it was essential to anticipate various unexpected situations beforehand. The only two Third Rank Torch Captains in the family naturally needed to maintain their combat power.

Moreover, Song Chi was not lacking Second-Rank Floating Land Origins.

With the deduction of 20 threads of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, those from the Bai Family also boarded the warship. Just like the Song Family, what the Bai Family left behind was an escort ship.

Clearly, they too wanted to preserve the combat power of a Third Rank Torch Captain without wasting Third Rank Level Floating Land Origins unnecessarily.

As the Cangqiong and the escort ship from the opposite side approached, a beam of light shot out from the body of the ship, quickly securing both warships together.

At the same time, the other party also initiated the charge for interstellar domain projection right away.

As time passed, the Cangqiong had already deducted over a hundred threads of Second Rank Floating Land Origin. Although a hundred threads of Second Rank Floating Land Origin were no longer a significant amount to the current Song Chi, the idea of such wastefulness still made him feel somewhat regretful.

In fact, there was a way to avoid this unnecessary consumption—by creating several additional integration light bands with the coupling device and integrating multiple Torch Warships at the same time.

However, the problem was that only high quality coupling devices could achieve that, and coupling devices were already rare, with high-quality ones being even scarcer. It was very difficult to come by one.

At least among the more than twenty Torch Warships of the Bai Family, there wasn't one.

Song Chi understood this well, as he too had always been on the lookout for such components. Yet, after such a long time, he hadn't even encountered a coupling device of the lowest Blue Quality, let alone ones of Purple or Orange Quality.

Musing, a sudden sense of weightlessness washed over him, drawing his soaring thoughts back to reality.

The projection was about to begin!

...

The coordinates indicated by the Pathfinder Mark from the Bai Family were situated directly above a piece of Starry Sea Floating Land. Just recovering from intense dizziness, Song Chi immediately noticed the vast Starry Sea Floating Land below, both its length and width exceeding three million kilometers.

Compared to those lush life-bearing Floating Lands, the colors on this Third Rank Starry Sea Floating Land were much more monotonous with gray-brown seemingly its entirety.

Gray-brown mountains, gray-brown craters, gray-brown ravines...

Another glance at the radar map generated by the "Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magical Energy Detection Radar" showed no trace of life energy fluctuations, whereas some sparse signs of fragment belt creatures were detected in the nearby small fragment belt.

Song Chi wasn't surprised by this either.

The land below was Copper Mountain Continent, and indeed, the Bai Family had mentioned that a Fourth Rank Level Golden Armored Giant Beast lay dormant on this continent.

However, it was in the depths of a large copper ore, thousands and tens of thousands of meters beneath the surface, far exceeding the depth that the current "Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magical Energy Detection Radar" could penetrate. It was quite normal not to detect the creature's traces.

As he pondered this, Song Chi opened the cabin door, and his grandfather and great-uncle were the first to disembark from the Cangqiong.

On the other side, just as the Furious Lion and Mountain appeared, three kilometer-long warships emerged almost simultaneously, belonging to the Bai Family's three cruisers.

The moment the five cruisers appeared, the atmosphere of the surrounding starspace grew heavier. The magnetic wave energy field emitted by the kilometer-long hulls far surpassed that of the Second Rank Torch Warships.

Meanwhile, the magnetic wave communication projection group chat connected the seven Torch Warships, and a special image came from one of the cruisers from the Bai Family.

It was a special subterranean detection map, displaying the giant silhouette of a creature lying at a depth of ten thousand meters, a four-legged beast resembling a rhinoceros from Blue Star in a past life, currently curled up in the depths of a large copper ore mine below.

"All right, let's head down first. Find a safe spot to wait for 24 hours. We'll use this time to prepare a more detailed battle plan, and we will take action officially after a day!"

In the magnetic wave communication projection group chat, the voice of Aunt Xiuqin, representing both the Song and Bai families, was the first to ring out. With Grandmother Bai Xiuqin not present, she naturally had to speak up on many matters as the connecting link between the two families.

The seven Torch Warships descended toward the land below.

Of course, the direction they chose to land was extremely far from the large copper ore where the Golden Armored Giant Beast lay dormant, on the other side of Copper Mountain Continent.

After successfully finding a temporary base, the remaining twenty-plus members of both families disembarked one after another from the two escort ships.

At the same time, dozens of Soldier Figurines were summoned from the cruisers as well.

These Second Rank Torch Ship Captains were absolute core members under the two families' command. During these next 24 hours of recovery time, their safety had to be assured.

Within the Cangqiong Main Control Room, Song Chi's gaze sharpened as he focused intently on the 20 Soldier Figurines summoned from the central cruiser of the Bai Family.

"Are these Fourth Rank Level Soldier Figurines?"

Indeed, the 20 centaur-shaped Soldier Figurines summoned by the other party radiated an aura that was unmistakably Pseudo Fourth Rank, without a doubt, all of them enhanced to level 40 or above.

And from this detail, much could be inferred.
