The Player's Personal View (5)

"Sleeping" with Captain Christopher was easier than expected; of course, if it were that difficult, there would be no point in continuing this quest.

The Shadow Kingdom appears to be expanding aggressively from every angle, but in reality, their thirty-odd people are not as important as they seem. They need to be received by the Serpent Mother and have been given three days to consider.

After all, compared to the rapidly expanding Shadow Kingdom, a mere thirty-odd people are simply not enough. If Tian Lan is the Serpent Mother, then her initial orders would be mandatory, and she wouldn't care too much about the population of thirty.

Therefore, it's not hard to guess the purpose behind the Serpent Mother's seemingly amicable offer: to turn these thirty-odd people into guides. Her true objective is the planet behind them.

"That's unlikely. This Shadow Kingdom isn't very big. Although its technology is quite advanced, if a war really breaks out, neither the Starshine World nor Christopher's Shadow Kingdom could destroy it, right?" the Moose said with some doubt.

"Then I don't know. The Shadow Kingdom always has its own trump cards to play." Tian Lan's eyes flickered as she said, "If these people really betray us, the Empire could still be defeated by the Shadow Kingdom if they are unprepared."

Seeing the still somewhat puzzled Moose, Tian Lan smiled and said, "Regardless of the truth, this guess is the most favorable for us right now. Captain Christopher has already agreed to our plan and is willing to cooperate. As for the true power of the Shadow Kingdom, that's no longer something we need to speculate about."

Soon, the captain tested his crew and found that some of them were very interested in joining the Shadow Kingdom. Firstly, the current situation meant that if they didn't join, they would be regarded as enemies by the Snake People. Secondly, they themselves were all seriously ill because of the spaceship.

People's will can sometimes be quite unexpected. Although these crew members had all signed a life-or-death agreement and were willing to sacrifice themselves for the empire, their will wavered when death slowly approached.

Of course, if they hadn't encountered those few gamers playing as residents of the Starshine World, most of them might have chosen to join the Shadow Kingdom. After all, the Empire was gradually becoming terminally ill, and joining the Shadow Kingdom wasn't an unacceptable thing when there was no other choice.

However, after learning that there was a better option, the Starshine World, and that the Shadow Kingdom's goal was the Empire, a sense of mission stirred in the hearts of the captain and the others. Joining the Shadow Kingdom was an unavoidable choice, since the Serpent People and the Thousand-Dimensional Eye were still around, joining would probably only make them third- or even fourth-class citizens. The Starshine World was also made up of humans, so joining would at least make them second-class citizens.

So the captain secretly contacted a few trusted people to inform them of the plan, while on the other hand, he taught the Moose the relevant knowledge of flying the spaceship. Fortunately, it was not complicated. After all, with the empire in dire need of manpower, there was no time to train many astronauts, and the operation of the spaceship was very simple.

"Activate the protective force field mode, otherwise I suspect they could easily take over our spaceship." After the captain said this the next evening, Tian Lan nodded and said, "We have the spaceship, but now we have another problem: how do we get on it?"

"According to the captain, given the technological capabilities of the Shadow Kingdom, without a protective barrier, the spaceship could very well be taken over directly. But with a protective barrier, the hatch can't be opened. So how are we supposed to get into the spaceship?"

"Leave it to me. My inner demon ability can make an object temporarily invisible to all other beings. Even surveillance cameras won't be able to record an item possessed by my inner demon," An Jing volunteered, then placed her hand in front of everyone and said, "Can you see what I have in my hand?"

Looking at their empty hands, the group shook their heads. Then, they saw that An Jing had produced a water glass. With a kind smile, An Jing said, "I can let my inner demon wait midway, and then, after the spaceship stops, I can use my ability on it. I myself am unaffected by this ability, so I can take you all in with me."

"In that case, there's no problem. Once the Moose arrives, don't make any movements and wait for our notification!" The Moose nodded and closed its eyes.

She is Implant Path ability user. The Implantation in her body is a creature called the Nature Deer. The most powerful ability of this creature is to control animals within its sensing range. If it is applied to a single creature, it can be transformed into an Avatar that is temporarily completely controlled by the Moose.

A green light shimmered on the Moose's body. After closing its eyes and sensing for a while, its gaze became dull and indifferent. Most of its consciousness had gone to the animal clone. Tian Lan quickly put her sunglasses, which she used to show off, on the Moose. There shouldn't be any problems with a group of people together.

In the wilderness of the Shadow Kingdom, a rabbit lying in ambush suddenly leaped up, grabbed a clump of dark grass, and then, ignoring the tendrils of roots extending from the grass, opened its three-lobed mouth, nibbling at the grass until sap splattered everywhere.

Suddenly, the rabbit stopped moving. The grass, which had been mostly eaten away, stretched out its few remaining root-like tentacles and ran away. Then, after a series of wriggling movements, the rabbit's body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a beautiful woman. She was only naked because a few pieces of rabbit fur still clung to her body.

The Moose dared not be careless and quickly activated its abilities. Naturally, the Moose possessed two abilities: one was to control animals, and the other was to control plants. Although the animals and plants here had strong shadow attributes, they were still ultimately animals and plants.

Soon, some plants were summoned by the Moose, automatically weaving themselves into a grass dress on Moose body. The Moose's own scent blended into the environment, and then it carefully ran towards the spaceship's location, while Xiao Lan's voice confirmed its presence in its ears.

Although the Moose is currently focusing its main attention on the clone, otherwise the clone would dissipate, she is still generally aware of what is happening on the main body, especially now that someone is speaking to her from the north.

Yingzhi, the Moose focused on finding the spaceship. According to Captain Christopher, the outskirts of the Shadow Kingdom were extremely dangerous.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lan, holding the Moose's hand, nodded to indicate that there was no problem with communication. Then, the remaining people began their plan to use a feint to lure the enemy away from their base.

Once again, a beautiful yet eerie song rang out. Tian Lan endured the discomfort and confirmed that the snake people's construction team completed a project on average every four hours, meaning that the song would be played every four hours.
