They shot at each other.

Soon, everything gradually returned to normal, and the space fell dark again.

Without a light source to provide a line of sight, the planet of the unknown civilization seemed to become invisible. They clearly knew that it was there, but no reconnaissance equipment could detect it.

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Three minutes passed.

Time passed, but the unknown civilization did not take any further action.

It was possible that a stronger attack was brewing, or that they had already started to retreat when they saw that they could not defeat the human spaceships.

“Kill them.”

The control center of the Daxia spaceship made the decision to take the initiative to attack.

A few seconds later, the main cannons that were already prepared fired elemental bombs one after another, aiming straight at the planet.

Not long after, the weak light provided by the elemental bombs could be seen. The unknown civilization was slowly moving away into the distant space.

“Dire Wolf Special Forces, move out.”

The control center of the Daxia spaceship immediately issued a second order.

The moment they received the order, several small spaceships rushed into space. They carried the Dire Wolf Special Forces, with a small team inside each spaceship.

The Dire Wolf Special Forces was the strongest unit among the special forces controlled by humans that could launch a surprise attack. This was the first time they were making a move against an alien civilization.

At the same time, the human spaceship fleet started up again and chased after the unknown planet.

The true level of technology of humans was not much different from the unknown civilization in front of them. If they were separated by a distance of light years, it would be very difficult to find their location in the dark space.

In the dark space, from Chen Yiming’s position, the planet of the lizardmen was about a few meters in diameter. In terms of distance, its true diameter was slightly larger than the blue planet.

This way, unless there were some special circumstances, the quality, speed, and other basic parameters should be similar.

“The basic parameters of the planet are similar, and these lizardmen have technology similar to that of humans. Did they develop it themselves or use other methods to obtain it?”

At this thought, Chen Yiming’s interest was piqued.

Whether it was the technological system or the cultivation system, they followed an indescribable order in this universe.

For example, from traditional black gunpowder to interstellar missiles, they were definitely not exclusive to the humans on the blue planet. Other civilizations could also develop them.

However, the fuel ratio, technology level, and so on would not be the same.

Another example was the cultivation system, especially for low-level cultivators. The methods and effects of cultivation were different.

At his original spot, there was only a faint spatial fluctuation, and his figure had already disappeared.

…

“Energy barrier?”

Chen Yiming, who had arrived in the space outside the planet, saw the truth about the lizardmen civilization.

The planet was enveloped by an energy barrier, and was slowly accelerating away. Although there was no atmosphere, the energy barrier could block out all kinds of dangerous rays in the universe.

In other words, the energy barrier technology had replaced the planet’s original atmosphere, allowing the planet to move through space like a fortress.

Compared to humans, because they did not have such technology, it was impossible for them to arm the blue planet into a war fortress and bring the entire planet with them.

“This lizardmen civilization has an energy barrier technology that covers the entire planet, but their attacks are only at the level of nuclear weapons?”

This was completely unequal technology. He could clearly tell that it was not developed by the lizardmen themselves.

On second thought, he thought, “Did they rob people like humans who had just left the planet of origin, or did they buy it from a high-level technological civilization in the area in the middle of the star map?”

Chen Yiming had the ‘Seven Snakes Absolute Soul Sword’ from the old man, which was a longsword that was called a divine artifact.

There were complicated and exquisite patterns inside, sealing away a terrifying power.

Although Chen Yiming couldn’t analyze and replicate it, it didn’t stop him from recognizing how high its level was. It also indirectly showed how strong the area in the middle of the star map was.

Therefore, it was normal for there to be a high-level technological civilization there.

Soon, another faint spatial fluctuation appeared. When Chen Yiming reappeared, he was already on the land of the lizardmen civilization.

The sky was dark and gloomy, and a gust of yellow sand blew over.

In front of him were several huge buildings that were dark yellow in color and had many passages on the surface. There were lizardmen guarding them with primitive iron weapons.

From the outside, it looked like a nest that had appeared on the surface.

“Compared to human civilization, it doesn’t feel like an advanced civilization at all.”

Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the residential area and confirmed his previous guess. Regardless of whether it was bought or stolen, it didn’t belong to the lizardmen civilization originally.

At this moment, “…&*%” A series of curses rang out.

From the four directions around Chen Yiming: front, back, left, and right, lizardmen holding primitive iron weapons charged over from the tall buildings in the distance.

These lizardmen walked upright like humans. They were between three to four meters tall. Although they were naked, there was a layer of scales on their skin.

The surface of this layer of scales reflected a strange color. It was natural armor for the lizardmen.

10 seconds later, dozens of lizardmen charged over and sealed off all of Chen Yiming’s escape routes, forming an encirclement.

“&%%#!”

The lizardmen suddenly stopped and approached at a slower speed. Their words carried an interrogative tone as they prepared to capture this unfamiliar person.

The next moment.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Chen Yiming flicked each of the lizardmen on the head, and they all fainted and fell to the ground. Their bodies started to twitch spontaneously.

Chen Yiming looked at the results of his attack and nodded. “These lizardmen should be ordinary guards, but their bodies are close to that of human warriors.”

“The physical body of their species is slightly stronger than that of humans. It’s about the level of a human martial arts disciple who has undergone seven to nine transformations.”

“However, it’s not easy to judge what level the strongest lizardman can reach.”

“The cultivation environment on the blue planet indirectly comes from the dark forest world. The dark forest world has a star spirit, so it’s a special world.”

Chen Yiming fell into deep thought for a while.

However, other than the lizardmen poking their heads out from the surrounding huge buildings, there were no other incidents.

What was happening in front of him indicated that on a planet that was like a war fortress that operated in the universe, individual cultivation might not be very powerful.

No powerful lizardmen came to cause trouble for Chen Yiming. However, the planet under his feet was still gradually speeding up.

Chen Yiming, an unfamiliar intruder, seemed to have been ignored.

“If humans can obtain the complete energy barrier technology from the lizardmen, they might be able to hide the traces of the black tide on the surface.”

The black substance added to the hull of the spaceship could not be hidden from those who were familiar with the black tide. They might even think that the human spaceship fleet was involved with the black tide.

After making his decision, Chen Yiming muttered to himself, “Then let’s stop this planet first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch towards the energy fluctuations underground, which were clearly greater than the other areas on the planet.

The next moment.

The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Countless lizardmen screamed as the energy barrier exploded, and the planet shook.

A passage through the planet appeared, and a large amount of rubble was thrown into space, forming a moving asteroid belt that disappeared into the deep space.

The moving planet no longer accelerated. It moved through space at a slow speed, and the human spaceships behind it could immediately catch up.

This time, the lizardmen civilization had no choice but to calm down.

What had they provoked?

For some reason, before all the lizardmen could react, their planetary power system was destroyed. This had never happened before.

It had to be known that the spaceship fleet that they had failed to ambush was still far away.

In outer space, one was chasing while the other was escaping. Unless the speed of the one chasing was more than one level higher, not to mention catching up, if they did not lose him, it meant that the level of technology in reconnaissance was higher.

The vast space was also a place where it was very easy to avoid pursuit.

In reality, when the lizardmen civilization saw that the hydrogen bombs were ineffective, they were still not afraid of the human spaceships. They could just retreat and not continue fighting against the elemental bombs.

However, now that there was a huge problem internally, and they could not leave even if they wanted to.

…

More than an hour later, the human spaceship fleet landed on the lizardmen’s planet.

At the same time, three huge gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures landed on the surface of the planet.

In an instant, countless lizardmen ran out of the huge buildings. Every one of them was extremely flustered.

The lizardmen were really frightened to death. They thought that they must have provoked the real gods.

At the same time, in a building that looked like a palace.

This was one of the few special buildings of the lizardmen civilization. There were tables and chairs carved with strange flowers, exquisite porcelain, and so on.

In addition, the layout of the building was also extraordinary. The decorations were all very detailed, and it was worlds apart from the residences of ordinary lizardmen.

Chen Yiming and a portion of the higher-ups sat in the seats arranged for them.

Around them was a group of female lizardmen holding fruit platters. They had good figures, but their faces were too scary and did not meet the standards of beauty of the humans.

At this moment, a lizardman nearly 10 meters tall rushed in from outside the door.

It was the king of the lizardmen civilization. Its cultivation level barely allowed it to rule over this planet, and it was equivalent to a martial master among humans.

That’s right, the average cultivation level of an individual was stronger than that of humans. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the cultivation environment, the strongest individual in the lizardmen civilization was not as powerful as expected. It was not even at the level of the inscription realm.

“How could this be! How could this be! It’s actually related to the black tide that made countless worlds tremble in fear. How could the lizardmen civilization be so unlucky?”

The lizardman king’s footsteps were a little flustered. He was still recalling the scene of the human spaceships landing in its mind, and its entire body trembled.

When the piercing gazes gathered on it, the lizardman king came back to its senses and realized that it had lost its composure.

However, at this moment, it did not care about losing its composure. Those related to the black tide were not kind people. No matter how it pretended or struggled, it was useless.

It could be described as being attacked whether one moved to the left or the right.

“Hello, I’m the king of the lizardman civilization. I’m from the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. This planet is a wandering civilization.”

The lizardman king introduced itself in fluent Chinese.

With that, it explained, “The lizardman civilization has a universal translator bought from a planet with a machine civilization. We have just gathered some information about the conversations between humans, so we can use a special device to speak the Chinese language.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming noticed a small metal tube extending from the lizardman king’s ear.

From the looks of it, the small silver tube should be the special equipment it was talking about. It could translate what one wanted to say in real time and perfectly imitate the tone of the lizardman.

“A universal translator?”

The higher-ups of the human race were also quite interested.

Putting aside what the machine civilization was like for the time being, the universal translator they created was a good thing for communication between civilizations. It was very easy to overcome the language barrier in communication.

However, what attracted more attention was the Hidden Dragon Galaxy that the lizardman king had mentioned.

There was a dragon shadow hidden in the star map. Didn’t it fit with the name of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy?

However, even if their curiosity was aroused, the higher-ups of the human race would not ask about it at this time. Before they came, they had discussed that they could not reveal the fact that the humans did not know anything.

Next, it was time to get down to business.

The lizardmen civilization had wanted to destroy the human spaceship fleet, so the higher-ups of the human race naturally did not stand on ceremony. They announced in front of the lizardman king that this planet was to be handed over to the humans.

All the lizardmen had to put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally. They had to follow the orders of the humans.

It was short and concise. This way, they could slowly obtain all the loot from the planet. It would be impossible for the lizardmen civilization to conceal them somewhere.

“Of course.”

The lizardman king did not raise any objections and agreed after being stunned for a moment.

After that, it had a helpless expression on its face. First, there was the existence that could punch through a planet, then there were the huge dragons that covered the sky, and the arrival of the spaceships related to the black tide. None of these were things that the lizardmen civilization could resist.

They even felt that they were lucky to be alive and not tortured.

On the other hand, the higher-ups of the human race were thinking too much.

…

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since humans occupied the planet of the lizardmen civilization.

At this moment, the energy barrier that covered the entire planet had already reappeared and started to absorb all kinds of cosmic rays, indirectly turning the planet into a world suitable for life.

However, the location of the energy shield had changed. It had been transferred to the Daxia spaceship.

Humans did not intend to occupy this moving planet for a long time. The main reason was that the environment of this planet contained too much sulfur, and it was not suitable for ordinary people to live on.

In addition, humans did not even care about using this planet as a war fortress to continue their journey.

The reason was that compared to the spaceship fleet, this planet could not be kept for a long time. The energy barrier could not cover the entire planet while it was moving at a high speed.

There was also a solution to this. They could provide the energy barrier with a super energy source.

According to the information provided by the lizardman king, there was a shop set up by the machine civilization in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. There were many such shops on the powerful worlds.

At the moment, the lizardmen civilization did not have any super energy. It was too expensive and not worth it, so they had never considered buying it.

Therefore, humans could only abandon this planet and prepare to continue searching for a suitable planet to use as their second home.

As for what would happen to the lizardmen civilization without the energy barrier?

In reality, nothing much would happen. It was just that their lives would return to how they were 1,000 years ago, without the energy barrier technology.

The lizardmen lived underground to begin with. Their scaled skin had strong resistance and could withstand the attacks of the cosmic rays to a certain extent.

On the Daxia spaceship, in a meeting room, Chen Yiming, all the higher-ups of the human race, and some famous experts and professors were all present.

On the screen, they had traced the steps of the lizardmen civilization from the middle of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy to the current space.

There were nodes marked on it, and each node represented a space-travel portal.

The space-travel portals were created using the power of wormholes. Between two space-travel portals, there was a space-travel passage that could be kept open for the long-term.

One had to pay up to pass through the space-travel portals. This money was the currency used in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, the hidden dragon coin.

It was not a problem even if one did not have enough hidden dragon coins. They could just hand over the resources of the corresponding value and convert them into the required hidden dragon coins to pass through.

In reality, the lizardmen civilization had come to the remote outer space to earn hidden dragon coins.

They collected resources from unowned planets and searched for objects from outer space. Sometimes, when they encountered weak civilizations, they would turn into bandits.

“If we humans are unwilling to give up on the technology from the black tide, it will be very difficult for us to use those space-travel portals to quickly reach the middle of the star map,” an expert said regretfully.

“That’s impossible. With the level of human technology alone, we’re too weak. Before we achieve a leap in technology, there’s nothing we can do.”

A head of state shook his head.

This was the truth. They had obtained the black technology materials from the black tide and used them to make spaceships with a strong defense.

Otherwise, it was impossible for humans to bring billions of people into space to find a new planet. In fact, with the true level of human technology, they would not even be able to leave the solar system.

“Cough, cough!”

Chen Yiming coughed and reminded them, “There are four strange stones placed on the spaceships. These are the cores of the world. They can’t be revealed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, “What!” Almost everyone gasped.

“That’s true. Even the lizardmen civilization dared to attack us, let alone the factions that control the space-travel portals. At that time, they will definitely detain the spaceship fleet for some groundless crime.”

After Chen Yiming’s reminder, everyone suddenly remembered that the human spaceships carried items of shocking value that couldn’t be revealed when they were still weak.

Once it was revealed , it would cause endless trouble.

Soon, the meeting room was filled with discussion again.

The lizardmen civilization took the path of traveling through space that was equivalent to the national highway on the blue planet.

All kinds of hidden dangers had basically been eliminated, but there were many civilizations who would pass through there.

The humans had several shocking treasures, so they naturally could not take this path. However, they could refer to the direction of this path and search for a suitable planet along the way.
