Xianzhou Yaoqing, the Hunt / The Abominations of Sagin Xiadou
"Let me see what makes you so confident."
Herta was unfazed by her outrageous demand; she had seen too many people like that. She said, "If what you have can truly pique my interest, I wouldn't mind trading you a planet."
When negotiating, most people like to start by saying things they can't do, in order to achieve a compromise. Herta believed that the woman in front of him was the same.
Sirin shook her head, stubbornly saying, "We don't need a new planet, we just Izumo!"

"If someone could truly eliminate the influence of nothingness, do you think nothingness would still be so terrifying?"
Herta was speechless. She didn't know if Heita was really stupid or pretending, whether she was truly determined to reclaim her homeland, or if she was just trying to make a big fuss.
"Non-existence is unimportant!"
Sirin shook her head. She came from Izumo and knew very well the horror of the Void, but the most important thing about taking back Izumo was not the Void.
"The real problem we face is Honkai. I want to make a deal with you using a rare artifact."
Is nothingness unimportant, Honkai more important?
This statement echoes Ruan Mei's attitude.
Herta lowered his head and pondered for a moment. It seemed that this Honkai energy was indeed extraordinary.
Tell me about it.
"I don't need you to solve the problem of nothingness. Honkai energy has a terrifying corrosive power. I hope we can cooperate, and you can help us improve our adaptability to Honkai energy."
Taking Izumo wasn't her real goal; of course, it would be best if she could.
If not, she won't be too disappointed.
What she wanted most was to solve the terrible problem of Honkai energy erosion, and like Raiden Mei, to take one last look at her homeland.
"Bring me the item so I can take a look."
Herta neither agreed nor refused, but instead reached out to Sirin to ask for the strange item.
Sirin silently handed the items over.
"If this is difficult for you, I can give you the rare item, as long as you introduce me to Ms. Ruan Mei."
"What is this thing?"
During her voyage, Kiana encountered a very strange celestial monster that looked like both a beast and a tree, and it fired a shot at her from a great distance.
Biological weapons?
Kiana stared at the wreckage at her feet, speechless for a long time.
It looks strange, like some kind of giant beast, but it has branches and leaves that only plants have.
That's one thing, after all, she had seen similar strange creatures when she was with Ruan Mei, but this thing even had a cannon barrel on its body.
It can also fire.
Kiana nearly burned out her CPU looking at this thing. It was such a jumbled mess—biological, plant-based, and mechanical elements all mixed together?
She remembered that Ruan Mei wasn't interested in this either; it seemed more like a purely biological weapon.
"Where's the system? Is it dead or not? If it's not dead, come out and do an assessment for me. Didn't you do assessments when you were in Izumo?"
Since the monster had already attacked her, she naturally had no reason to hold back.
After the spaceship was damaged, she decisively left the ship, used the power of the Stigma to summon the Frost Blade, and delivered a vicious blow to the guy.
It looks nice but is useless; it'll be sold in a flash.
It was cut in two by the Frost Blade, its body enveloped in frost, but it didn't die. She slashed it several more times before finally killing it.
[The remains of Abundance Pest]
[Recycling yields Honkai Crystal]
After leaving Izumo, the system became less intelligent, and now she still needs to urge it to appraise items.
But...
"Abundance Pest?"
Kiana stared at the remains in astonishment. This thing, this thing... does indeed look like a monstrous creature.
Having been in this world for so long, this was the first time she had come into contact with the power of Abundance, and what she encountered was not Pathwalker, but a monstrous being.
"Beast Ship or something else?"
Kiana frowned. She glanced at her phone again. The signal here was poor; she didn't know how long it would take for the recipient to receive her message.
Could we run into Denizens of Abundance?
Traveling alone in space is indeed unsafe; you could encounter anything.
To encounter such Abundance Pest on such an ordinary journey is truly...
Wait, am I the one who should be worried?
Kiana, belatedly realizing what she would do if she encountered the Denizens of Abundance, was troubled by this.
Whether it's nothingness or Honkai energy, they both seem to be no better than Abundance.
What does she have to worry about?
He's not the Emanator of Abundance.
"Let me see if I can recycle one."
[You have obtained 100 Honkai Crystal]
"... Such thin mosquito legs."
Kiana's expression was indescribable; she even suspected that the system had taken a kickback, otherwise, how could such a huge monster be worth so little money?
She hadn't seen such thin mosquito legs in a long time, but even thin ones are still flesh, and it gave her another way to get crystallized.
But...
"Is what is being recycled the power of destiny?"
When Izumo was recovering those swords and crystal cores, Kiana wasn't entirely certain. But now that even the remains of the abominations can be recovered, it speaks volumes.
Kiana for a moment.
The thought process yielded no results.
The system reclaimed some of its power, and the remains of the giant beast turned to ashes and disappeared. She shook her head and returned to the spaceship that had been hit by a cannon.
She needs to find a place to repair the boat.
I wonder if the spaceship will last until she finds someone who can repair it.
This galaxy has spawned Abundance Pest.
If there's one, there's definitely more than one. Hopefully, these guys haven't wreaked havoc on other worlds in this galaxy yet.
Thinking this, Kiana continued sailing along the course for a while longer before being forced to stop.
It wasn't because the spaceship suddenly malfunctioned.
Rather, it's because...
Like fireworks exploding.
Kiana, in the cockpit, could see flickering lights in the distance, but because they were far away, they weren't very clear.
But without a doubt.
That was an interstellar war between two factions.
Those streaks of fireworks were explosions.
As Kiana stopped, hesitating whether to take a detour or go and join the crowd, the spaceship received a very noticeable message.
[This is the Yaoging Xianzhou, currently the Hunt the Sadu's Golden Pest. The battlefield is dangerous; please take a detour!]
"The Xianzhou Alliance?"
Upon seeing this message, Kiana raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a surprised expression.
Before she transmigrated, the game had just finished updating to Penacony. Although she hadn't unlocked the Yaoging Xianzhou, the Great Victory Xianzhou was quite well-known.
The Great Victory Xianzhou is hunting down wicked creatures.
Should we go check it out?
At first, I was hesitant because I didn't want to cause trouble; now I'm hesitant because I'm curious and want to see what's going on.
But the excitement of interstellar warfare isn't something you can just watch casually; you might get caught in the crossfire or even be stranded for a while.
Calculating the time, she only needed half a month to go back and see Ruan Mei. If she went to watch the excitement now, she didn't know how long she would have to stay.
She didn't know how long this war would last; if it lasted for months, everyone else would be frantic with worry.
After a moment of contemplation, Kiana reluctantly made a decision. The matter of the Xianzhou fighting the evil creatures had little to do with her, so it was best not to get involved. Yaoqing also did not want unrelated people to get involved.
However, as soon as she turned around, the spaceship was hit a few more times. This time, the protection was not very effective either, and the electronic screens and lights in the cockpit emitted warning red lights.
Through the still-smooth screen, she saw the Beast Ship attacking her, which was quite a distance away.
"No, is it sick?"
Are these bastards all out of their minds? Instead of attacking the enemy, they fired a shot at her as she was preparing to leave the edge of the battlefield?

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Traitorous Spoils of Sajin Shadu
Kiana looked terrible.
This spaceship probably won't go very far.
She had just been thinking that it was better to avoid trouble, but she didn't expect to be attacked by the people of Denizens of Abundance as soon as she made her decision.
The spacecraft was immediately rendered unusable.
She took a deep breath, her voice tinged with gritted teeth. "If I can't deal with the Void, can't I deal with you?"
Kiana, her pent-up resentment finally released by this undeserved misfortune, used the power of her Stigma to summon Yae Sakura's Frost Blade with a grim expression.
She wasn't even thinking about causing trouble yet.
The trouble came to her first.
Having suffered two consecutive attacks from the rabid, dog-like Denizens of Abundance, Kiana had no intention of enduring it any longer.
This will also help Xianzhou gain fame.
As long as she's famous enough and her name travels far enough, she doesn't need to worry about Mei and the others not hearing about her.
Yes, as long as her fame is big enough to spread throughout the entire universe, she won't have to worry about not finding the person she's looking for.
She placed her hand on the hilt of her sword and changed into a new set of badges suitable for a war-for-war strategy.
A spaceship without its protective capabilities is extremely vulnerable and will explode under a violent attack, just like those 'fireworks' in the distance.
Those fireworks were actually warships.
On the edge of the battlefield, the Denizens of Abundance on the Beast Ship grinned as they admired the beautiful fireworks, showing no sign of the tension from their fierce battle with Yaoqing.
Because they had laid an ambush with the Yaoging Xianzhou, the invincible Yaoqing still suffered losses at the hands of the Sajin Shadu people.
The thoughts of the evil Sajin Shadu, who had already envisioned winning this victory and making a name for himself among the other tribes, were forever frozen at this moment.
Because at the moment the spaceship exploded.
A sliver of icy sword light, powerful enough to tear apart a massive asteroid, burst forth from the flames, carrying unparalleled might, and annihilated the entire Beast Ship.
The Abundance Pest, known for their tenacious vitality and immortality, were completely annihilated without any advantage against simple sword techniques.
