Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: GoldenLung

The protective suits they wore were all from Tang Sect, and the earphones provided live translation. Inside the helmet of the protective suit, there was a built-in translation system.

They certainly didn't know the language of the Spaceborne Clan, but it was in the database of Tang Sect, and they were able to use it. They didn't know how it got there, but it was useful.

In the distance, they could already see the Spaceborne Clan base. The base looked like it was made of blue metal, probably sourced locally. But this was a rare metal! It was so extravagant. If Lan Xuanyu were to refine it, it would be something that could be spirit refined or soul-forged. The wealth of the Spaceborne Clan was truly well-deserved.

From the outside, there was nothing particularly unusual about the base. It was just a series of semi-circular structures that looked like they were covering the ground. They also looked like they were bulging.

In the current situation, the role of the Treasure Seeking Beast became increasingly apparent. Its divine sense was very sensitive to all forms of energy. When they were 500 meters away from the base, it reminded Lan Xuanyu and his team to stop because there was an invisible shield that specifically protected the base. It had a reconnaissance effect.

Lan Xuanyu and his four companions were somewhat helpless. The Spaceborne Clan had covered the entire Planet Seventy-Six like a turtle shell, making it difficult to infiltrate.

What to do? Wait.

It was impossible to rush in directly. If they were discovered, they would have no chance. They could only roam around the base and look for opportunities.

Lan Xuanyu would never resort to using force unless it was absolutely necessary. That would be a suicidal act. Although his plan was risky, he would not take any unnecessary risks during its execution, especially if there were no benefits involved.

Four people walked around the base and discovered that it had a gate. The fact that it had a gate meant that there was a possibility that someone from the Spaceborne Clan would come out from inside.

So, all they could do now was wait. They waited outside the semi-circular gate they had found.

Luck finally favored them. After waiting for less than an hour, the semi-circular gate slowly opened and a tracked vehicle that looked like a beetle came out. Its back was elliptical and it had tracks below it. It didn't move too fast, but it was clearly suitable for all kinds of terrain.

"Get ready," reminded Lan Xuanyu to his companions. They adjusted their positions according to the route of the Spaceborne Clan vehicle. The Treasure Seeking Beast also shared its divine sense perception with Lan Xuanyu, allowing him to feel the changes in the shield.

Watching as the vehicle arrived at the perimeter of the shield, a beam of light shot out from the front of the car, and immediately, a hole was naturally opened in the shield. The car slowly drove out from inside.

"Go in!" Lan Xuanyu said without hesitation. While the car was leaving the shield, they quickly entered. With the illusion of the Treasure Seeking Beast covering them, they were completely invisible now.

The vehicle left and the shield closed naturally. Lan Xuanyu and his team finally made it in.

"Yuge, do another metal detection. I don't believe that there's no protection on the ground inside their base," Lan Xuanyu said.

Tang Yuge crouched down and used her Five Elements Escape to probe the ground.

After a moment, she raised her head and nodded to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, and Yuenen Huihui couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. The opportunity had finally come. It wasn't easy to come by!

"Let's go in together," the three of them surrounded Tang Yuge as she performed the Five Elements Escape technique, slowly sinking into the ground.

Two minutes later, after they had descended about a dozen meters underground, Tang Yuge stopped. Without him needing to say anything, Lan Xuanyu understood what had happened, because a white light had appeared under their feet – a protective shield!

"It really is…" Even the usually composed Yuenen Huihui couldn't help but nearly swear.

Bai Xiuxiu patted her helmet and said, "Are the Spaceborne Clan turtles?"

Even at a depth of over ten meters inside the base, protective shields were still set up.

"Everyone, don't be impatient," Lan Xuanyu remained calm, "There is a protective shield on the ground, which means that our direction is correct. The source of the Space Origin Crystal must be underground, or else they wouldn't need such protection. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Space Origin Crystal could possibly be anywhere on this planet. Otherwise, the protective shield wouldn't be so all-encompassing. The defensive measures of the Spaceborne Clan are so strict that they must have been infiltrated by other races using various means."

"I have reviewed the transaction records of Sin Planet related Space Origin Crystals for the past few years. From the records, it appears that the number of transactions for Space Origin Crystals has been decreasing every year while the prices have been continuously rising. This should be related to the increasingly tight defense of the Spaceborne Clan. Moreover, price speculation is also in their best interest. They can easily release some Space Origin Crystals quietly and earn huge profits. Otherwise, how could they be so wealthy? It is already fortunate for us to infiltrate here. Don't rush, Tang Yuge, move horizontally and head towards the direction of the base. Then, take a look at any changes in the metal composition of this area."

"Okay," Tang Yuge responded.

A great commander could always unite his teammates. When Lan Xuanyu spoke, everyone naturally became calm.

Tang Yuge led the three of them slowly towards the direction of the base, while also paying attention to the status of the protective shield.

"Blue copper is still the main material, but I also found a small amount of magic silver. Although the quantity is small, the purity of the magic silver here was extremely high, the highest I've ever seen. It is almost like a magical silver essence. The purity of this natural magic silver is even higher than what we usually achieve after a Thousand Refinement. Even just this magic silver alone is incredibly valuable."

Just then, Tang Yuge stopped, and in front of them was a thick blue metal wall. Obviously, they had reached the vicinity of the base from underground.

Lan Xuanyu placed his hand on the metal wall and used the senses of the Treasure Seeking Beast to probe inside, allowing him to see the situation inside.

What surprised Lan Xuanyu was that this base was not so much a base as it was a huge factory. Compared to the tight security outside, it was a bit noisy and chaotic inside. Giant devices emitted high heat.

The height of members from the Spaceborne Clan was about 1.5 meters, and their physique was somewhat similar to humans, except that they had four arms. Their legs were relatively long and their heads were large. They didn't have a nose, but instead had four eyes and a large mouth on top of their heads. There were strands of what looked like tentacles hanging down from the back of their brains.

These Spaceborne Clan members were also wearing protective suits. Obviously, the environment on Planet Seventy-Six was not suitable for their survival.

There were at least thousands of Spaceborne Clan members busy here.

After examining the situation, Lan Xuanyu frowned and said, "It seems like they are refining metal, but it's definitely not Space Origin Crystals. There are no space fluctuations."

"What should we do then?" Bai Xiuxiu asked.

Lan Xuanyu said, "We must go in and take a look to confirm. Yuge, follow my guidance and we'll find a corner to enter."

Using their spiritual senses to explore, Lan Xuanyu guided Tang Yuge to a corner, and the four of them used Gold Burrow to penetrate the wall and enter.

Tang Yuge controlled the wall behind him, causing the metal to return to its original state. This was when they truly infiltrated the base.

This infiltration could be said to be the most difficult mission they had ever undertaken. They used antimatter missiles, the illusion of the Treasure Seeking Beast, clairvoyance, and Tang Yuge's Five Elements Escape Technique in order to succeed.

The entire process was truly not easy.

The key was that they still hadn't seen any trace of Space Origin Crystals.

The four of them were under the cover of a stealth ability and there were no detection devices within the factory. This was a typical situation where the outside was tight but the inside was loose.
