Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 153: Chapter 109: Moruo Royal Family_2

1.5 light-years away, within the Cang Qiong of the warship docking area, Song Chi smiled smugly.

However, after this operation, he made no further move, simply hanging the Phantom Butterfly drone directly underneath the Spectral Shuttle and stopping all energy reactions of the drone.

The body of the Phantom Butterfly drone was coated with a special stealth coating, making it undetectable to the patrol radar of the Torch Warship-class Spectral Shuttle. Yet, within the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves, there were many First Rank and Second Rank Torch Warships, and even Third Rank Torch Warships.

To prevent the Phantom Butterfly drone from being detected, he had to guard against any subsequent energy fluctuations from the drone. Only by doing so could he deceive those high-rank Torch Warships and minimize the chances of exposing the Phantom Butterfly drone.

After quietly waiting for several hours, Song Chi finally saw the Spectral Shuttle begin its return journey, bringing the Phantom Butterfly drone toward the lair of the Star Thieves in the rear.

When passing through the elliptical light shield defense, Song Chi even unconsciously held his breath, tensed to the extreme.

Fortunately, the woman from the Chenxing multifunctional shop hadn't deceived him; the Phantom Butterfly drone indeed might be the latest top-rank drone produced by some research institute of the Principality. Its stealth performance was sufficiently strong and went undetected beneath the vast defense array of the Blood Blade Star Thieves lair.

Once inside the defense light shield, Song Chi took the opportunity to detach the Phantom Butterfly drone from the Spectral Shuttle and let it freely fall to a corner below the encampment. From start to finish, he had not activated any energy device on the drone.

Having done this, he began to withdraw part of his spiritual focus that was distributed over the Cang Qiong and gathered all his mind power onto the brainwave beacon on the Phantom Butterfly drone.

At the same time, he started to rapidly record everything within the range of what his brainwave could perceive, including the specific locations of various buildings within the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves, the exact number of Star Thieves of each rank, and all the information about the residences of the upper echelons of the Thieves' group.

As he noted everything along the way, Song Chi's spiritual focus began to grow heavy, a sign of overuse of spiritual force. There was nothing to do about it; there were too many things to record. But because the duration of the brainwave remote control system was limited, he had to make the most of this finite time.

Seconds ticked away, and at the very end of the recording, Song Chi suddenly spotted a strange figure in a room window at the top of the Star Thieves' lair.

The figure had four arms, black skin all over its body, and a crescent-shaped single horn on top of its head.

Besides, beside the strange figure, he recognized the Blood Blade Star Thieves' deputy leader, "Blood Wolf," whom he had already memorized from a series of pictures. More importantly, judging by Blood Wolf's demeanor, he seemed to be somewhat ingratiating.

"What's going on here?"

After a moment of confusion, he quickly got back on track and hurriedly retracted the brainwave attached to the Phantom Butterfly drone to prevent Blood Wolf, a Second Rank Torch Captain with a frighteningly strong perception, from noticing anything.

Tens of seconds later, when he spread his brainwave out again, the two were gone without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

Several more hours passed, and the brainwave beacon attached to the Phantom Butterfly drone lost its effectiveness completely. Until the end, Song Chi had never activated the drone's energy battery, letting it lie quietly in the extremely secluded corner.

The surveillance inside the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair was extremely strict. Reactivating the Phantom Butterfly drone would pose a significant risk of exposure. The fall location he specifically chose was very remote. As long as he wasn't extraordinarily unlucky, it was unlikely that anyone would discover the palm-sized Phantom Butterfly drone.

Rubbing his somewhat groggy forehead, Song Chi did not rush back to catch up on sleep but headed straight to the Qingkong.

When his father came out, he recounted in detail the map of the interior of the Blood Blade Star Thieves that he had recorded earlier, as well as the sighting of Blood Wolf and the other figure.

He also watched his father's reactions closely.

Seeing his father take the sheet of paper he handed over and glance over it casually before nodding indifferently, Song Chi didn't see much reaction. However, when mentioning the various characteristics of the figure beside Blood Wolf, his father's eyes revealed clear surprise and suspicion.

Song Chao's gaze sharply turned and fixed on Song Chi.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Was Blood Wolf really trying to please the other party?"

Hearing the evident emphasis in the tone, Song Chi immediately understood that the matter was probably of no small importance. He didn't dare to reply offhandedly but carefully recalled the scene again. After ensuring that he had not been mistaken, he nodded seriously.

He also seized the moment to ask,

"Dad, could that be from the Moruo Clan?"

He had not previously known the identity of the alien race but had specifically looked it up just now. However, due to the limited information on the Moruo Clan in the compendium of Starry Sea Civilization and biology, he could not be completely certain.

Song Chao nodded and then added with a serious expression,

"If you didn't missee the color of the single horn on its head, I'm afraid it could still be the once Moruo Royal Family."

Hearing his father's words, Song Chi's eyes narrowed.

The Moruo Clan itself was one thing; after all, although the Chenxing Principality's expeditionary army had announced they had eradicated all of the Moruo Clan, it was a group that had stepped into the threshold of a mid-sized civilization with a population exceeding a hundred billion. How could they have been completely eliminated?

But the implication of the Moruo Royal Family was completely different. It meant that the Moruo Civilization might still have a direct lineage surviving and could even be planning something now.

For a moment, he completely understood why his father had such a strong reaction.

The two fell silent for a while until Song Chi took the initiative to voice his speculation.

"If it really is the Moruo Royal Family, does that mean there's a high probability that this Blood Blade Star Thieves group is supported by them in the background?"

The Moruo Royal Family, plus the flattery and suck-up attitude of the blood wolf, made it too easy for people to make this connection.

In front of him, although Song Chao didn't answer, Song Chi had already seen the answer in his father's eyes, his thoughts completely aligning with his own.

After pondering for a good while, Song Chao's gaze became resolute.

"No, this matter involves too much. Whether it's true or not, we must take this into consideration. Otherwise, if we later discover it's true, our entire lineage might be forced to stay here."

After finishing, he took Song Chi with him, quickly heading towards the base.

In the surveillance room at the base, all four gathered. After Song Chao explained the situation, Song Lin and Song You also became extremely solemn.

The Moruo Royal Family, those four words represented something too heavy.

Even if it was just a remnant of the original Moruo Civilization, it was absolutely not something a Third Rank Torch Captain could afford to provoke, especially when they had casually supported a veteran Third Rank Level Torch Ship Captain like "Blood Knife."

Once Song Lin and Song You had regained their senses, Song Chao revealed the purpose of summoning everyone.

"I must return to White Tower Floating Land to inform the old patriarch about this matter, but we cannot leave the base unattended, and we still need to keep constant surveillance on the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair..."

As he spoke, Song Chao stopped, but his intentions were already clear to Song Chi and the other two.

He was letting the three of them decide who would go and who would stay.

Facing this question, all three fell into thought.

Without even having to think about it, the person who stayed behind had to take enough risks; if the base were exposed, a First Rank Torch Warship Captain basically wouldn't have the ability to survive in this kind of environment.

After a moment's hesitation, Song Chi's expression became resolute and he spoke first:

"Dad, let me do it!"

As his words came out, the other three immediately turned their gaze to his face.

However, Song Chi didn't mind. He had decided to stay behind after deep consideration.
