Chapter 1826 - 1454: Disguise (First Update)
Su Mo listened to the creator’s words, thoughtfully touching his chin for a while, and finally decisively said to Creator·Swallower."Let’s go, let’s conduct a deeper reconnaissance, better safe than sorry."
"Mm."
Creator·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
Immediately, Su Mo stealthily maneuvered the Mad Eye Rhenhok to penetrate.
Looking along the way, the whole Star Sea is empty, with nothing there. Only scattered meteorites and several abandoned small Mine Stars drifting.
But as Su Mo gently approached those meteorites, he discovered that they were covered with nearly transparent Spirit Touchers.
And scanning internally in those small abandoned asteroids, they were all red dots.
Upon closer examination, they were all hidden Scout Nests.
Su Mo’s eyelid twitched incessantly; as he progressed a bit further, regardless of which direction he moved in, as long as he searched carefully, he could definitely find hidden enemy Scout Nests and Scout Guards.
"The Eternal Sleep Clan has quite a setup, deploying so many concealed Scout Nests."
Su Mo said with significant frustration.
"Go deeper, deploying so many Scout Troops; it seems this area must be very important. Check if there are large-scale defending troops inside."
Creator·Swallower reminded Su Mo.
"No problem."
Su Mo continued to maneuver Mad Eye Rhenhok further in.
Along the way, more hidden Scout Nests were discovered, through Creator·Swallower’s enhanced Super Vision State. Su Mo could see the vast starry sky, countless transparent nerve networks crisscrossing toward each Scout Nest.
The whole cosmos seemed like an invisible spider web, silently waiting for prey to arrive.
Su Mo had a premonition; if he disturbed even a little, the entire invisible spider web would be alarmed, and the situation would be terrible.
Just as Su Mo ventured deeper in, he halted Mad Eye Rhenhok. In the distance, he saw a concentration of Dandelion Fortresses, Wind Shuttle-class ships, and Spirit Touchers, with these assembled forces heading for distant starry skies.
Su Mo pondered for a while and then said to Creator·Swallower: "Xiao Shi, the direction that troop is leaving seems to be towards the central battlefield, right?"
"That’s correct."
Creator·Swallower responded in a deep tone.
"Although I don’t know the current situation of the main battlefield, judging by this stance, it should be causing considerable pressure on the Eternal Sleep Clan. If I’m not mistaken, this area should be as you previously speculated—a very critical region. Originally, there should have been a large troop stationed here, but they’ve been redeployed."
Su Mo offered his insight.
"You’re right, but don’t underestimate the Eternal Sleep Clan. Even though their forces have been moved to the main battlefield, since they have deployed so many Scout Nests, if you trigger the alarm, they will surely respond, and they will rapidly redeploy troops from other areas to encircle you."
Creator·Swallower was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Makes sense, that’s troubling. The fleet is so conspicuous; how can we infiltrate quietly?"
Su Mo thought about this and felt increasingly troubled.
"I might have a solution, but it’s not guaranteed to succeed, just a possibility to avoid detection."
Creator·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
"What solution?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly inquired.
"Find a small Mine Star, blast out an area inside able to hide the Immortal Blade and the fleet. Then I’ll cover the entire Mine Star and try to sneak in."
Creator·Swallower proposed an idea.
After hearing it, Su Mo thought it feasible and immediately replied, "Let’s take the risk! Are you sure you can handle it?"
In fact, Su Mo knew well that there wouldn’t be a better solution.
"Hmmph, since I proposed it, you don’t need to worry."
Creator·Swallower arrogantly replied.
"Let’s go, back!"
Without hesitation, Su Mo immediately maneuvered the Mecha to return.
...
Immortal Blade command room.
Long Ke paced back and forth, anxiously saying, "Why hasn’t Lord Su Mo returned from reconnaissance, something might have happened?"
"Everyone, don’t worry. With Su Mo’s ability, it’s just reconnaissance, nothing problematic; we just need to patiently wait."
Qian Chengxue said calmly.
"Qian Chengxue is right."
Tilo agreed.
At this moment, the radar screen suddenly showed a green dot.
"Boss is back."
Man Si noticed and immediately shouted.
Everyone’s expression brightened as Su Mo’s communication was connected.
"Su Mo, how’s the situation?"
Qian Chengxue asked.
"Not optimistic, the enemy deployed many hidden Scout Nests and Scout Guards, forming a strong reconnaissance network."
Su Mo briefly explained the situation.
"That’s problematic; Eternal Sleep Clan’s Scout Nest reconnaissance network is almost unsolvable."
Tilo slightly furrowed her brows.
"Are we stuck in a dead end then?"
Long Ke and others showed worried faces.
"You don’t need to worry, I have thought of a coping method. Tilo, immediately go find a small Mine Star, tell me once you find it."
Su Mo simply ordered Tilo.
"No problem, I’ll execute it right away."
Tilo responded promptly.
Very soon, Kendi and the others led the Mechas out of the Immortal Blade, beginning the search toward the rear.
Not long after, Kendi found a suitable small Mine Star, and he transmitted the information back.
Su Mo received the information and rushed over.
Quickly arriving at the designated area, he could see Kendi and others around an inconspicuous Mine Star.
When Kendi saw Su Mo arriving, he introduced over the communication channel:.
"Boss, this small Mine Star’s diameter is 2,800 kilometers, and the hardness isn’t very high; does it seem suitable to you?"
"Understood, first return to the Immortal Blade, await my command before returning, I’ll handle this asteroid."
Su Mo simply said.
"Yes."
Kendi and others maneuvered their Mechas to depart.
Su Mo piloted Mad Eye Rhenhok to the Mine Star. Creator·Swallower detached from within the Mecha, its body squirmed and then transformed into a swollen mass.
Countless black tentacles extended, penetrating the entire interior of the small Mine Star.
It used Decomposition Ability to hollow and level the interior of the Mine Star, also creating entrance and exit channels.
After finishing this, Creator·Swallower retracted all its tentacles, severing a portion of its body and leaving it on the surface of the Mine Star, then returning to Mad Eye Rhenhok’s body.
"Efficiency is impressive!"
Su Mo couldn’t help but praise.
"It’s nothing."
Creator·Swallower replied in a deep tone.
Immediately, Su Mo sent a message to have Tilo and the others meet him.
