155: Canghuo Star Blueprints
Canghuo Star.
The terrain is vast and various races abound, but resources are extremely scarce.
To advance here, one must put in efforts hundreds, or even thousands, of times harder than the average person!
At this moment, dozens of guards stood at the teleportation exit, all meticulously watching the front.
On Canghuo Star, being able to join the Salcio Army already puts one ahead of most common races.
At least... they have basic resource security!
Though sparse, it's enough to quench their thirst.
Moreover, if they get extremely lucky and happen to participate in a campaign against a small or medium-sized planet, earning some merit... wouldn't that be their chance to soar?!
Su Feng and the other two slowly walked out of the vortex. What greeted their eyes was endless sand, and they could faintly feel the heat.
“We need to verify your identities again. Please cooperate!”
The guard still took out the previous instrument, and Su Feng remained meticulous in his actions.
It must be said that the regulations on Canghuo Star are quite strict.
The verification was complete; there were no issues.
Su Feng cursed angrily and strode away.
He looked completely lawless and unrestrained.
There was no choice... this was exactly how Grandfather Rat's information described the Flame Demon!
This kind of guy fears neither heaven nor earth, practically indistinguishable from someone brainless.
Furthermore, Flame Demons possess extremely high combat power, and the planet they inhabit is unsuitable for other races to stay on for long periods.
Therefore, few people dare to scheme against Flame Demons.
“I didn’t expect... the environment on Canghuo Star is much harsher than I imagined!”
Su Feng sighed inwardly.
Amidst the endless sand, many races were standing there honing their skills, some even dripping with liquid... “This is much more brutal than on Blue Star!”
Su Feng knew nothing about Canghuo Star; even the documented information was extremely scarce.
The information primarily provided a detailed description of its power structure.
“It seems Grandfather Rat has likely never entered Canghuo Star...”
Su Feng walked blindly toward a sturdy, green-wrapped savage ox.
This one looked even more brainless, so asking for some information shouldn't be a problem.
“Hey!”
“I have a few questions for you!”
Su Feng crossed his arms, and scorching flames flared up, giving off an invisible pressure.
“Eight hundred!”
“What?!”
Su Feng was stunned.
This guy was nothing like the simpleton he appeared to be!
He clearly looked shrewd!
He had misjudged!
“Eight hundred chenyun stones for three questions!”
Su Feng complained inwardly: “That’s way too expensive!”
Immediately, he turned to walk toward the Lanteng Clan member nearby, but the thick, hoarse voice sounded again: “Don’t bother asking, the price is the same!”
Hiss!
Su Feng reflected the appearances of those races in his eyes.
Numbness, weariness, dullness, greed... He understood now!
It seemed these races had communicated with each other, specializing in fleecing newcomers arriving at Canghuo Star.
Su Feng exhaled scorching flames from his nostrils, and eight hundred chenyun stones appeared in his palm, which was covered in crimson cracks.
The moment the chenyun stones appeared, the eyes of all the surrounding races instantly brightened considerably.
“Answer one, and I’ll give you the price for one question!”
“You are not qualified to negotiate with me!”
Su Feng’s tone was cold.
The ox-head snorted a fierce breath, shaking its massive skull vigorously twice.
But its eyes never left the chenyun stones in Su Feng’s hand.
“First question!”
“If I want to buy equipment, items, or ores... where should I look for sellers?!”
The ox-head pointed north and said gruffly, “If you keep walking from here, you’ll enter the upper city district. There are often merchants wandering around there...”
The voice stopped abruptly, and Su Feng frowned slightly.
Clang!
Clang!
The chenyun stones continuously slipped through the gaps in the wide palm, and the ox-head hastily caught them.
“Second question!”
“Which forces on Canghuo Star should not be provoked?”
Seeing the shower of chenyun stones stop, the ox-head felt somewhat annoyed.
“The Salcio Army, the Azure Flame Guild, the Zhuozhuo Altar...”
Looking at the guy’s abruptly closed mouth, Su Feng really wanted to curse.
Sure enough, everything required resources!
Besides, the Salcio Army—who in the Yan He System doesn't know about them?!
Damn it!
“Third question!”
“Where can I hunt demonic beasts or other races?”
This was Su Feng’s top priority!
He had come here specifically to increase his strength, and the experience points provided by alien races were far more generous than those on Blue Star.
If he could hunt once or twice like he did outside, he could directly prepare for the Seventh Turn!
“Canghuo Star has a dedicated bounty board where you can accept missions.”
The ox-head glanced at Su Feng and sneered: "As long as you have the strength, you can get anything, but it's easy to lose your life..."
Su Feng scattered all the chenyun stones and walked north with Baras and the Yin Liao Soul-Devouring Flood Dragon.
The moment they left sight, the three instantly burst into high speed.
This distance was nothing to them.
However, Canghuo Star’s gravity seemed much greater, more than ten times that of Blue Star.
This meant their speed was far less than before... After about half an hour, a strange arrangement of buildings came into view.
Su Feng looked up and saw endless, continuous buildings stretching out, seemingly without end.
Moreover, in the center, he could see a massive, bizarre statue constantly spraying spring water—or what seemed to be spring water—from a flower on its head.
Su Feng wasn’t sure himself.
However, on Canghuo Star, such luxury was incredibly rare!
After all, resources here were inherently scarce.
The races outside didn't even have shelter, yet this place was prosperous and peaceful.
It was like entering two different worlds.
Su Feng looked around and saw soldiers guarding the entrance.
A swirling vortex-like magic gate continuously rotated.
The three stepped forward, but were immediately stopped as soon as they arrived.
“Those entering must pay three thousand dark moon pattern crystals!”
“A Canghuo Star Blueprint is included as a bonus!”
Hiss!
Su Feng’s scalp tingled!
He had only just looted a few hundred thousand, and now he was losing over ten thousand in one go!
He seriously suspected that these guys on Canghuo Star had already detected his identity.
And were deliberately targeting him!
Why were there checkpoints everywhere, slowly stripping resources from his hands?!
Nevertheless, wanting to learn more, Su Feng tossed out nine thousand dark moon pattern crystals and threw them in front of the guard.
He strode inside.
As soon as he passed through, an extremely refreshing magical energy rushed over, cleansing him of the heat and fatigue on his body.
Even the slight trace of tiredness vanished without a trace.
Su Feng grinned: “It seems... spending these three thousand dark moon pattern crystals wasn’t entirely a waste...”
