Sky-cracking Rider

"Hiss! ~"

Heseman Brown couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In a lifetime, it's inevitable to face various disasters and misfortunes. If one day you're faced with unexpected calamities, losing an arm or a leg and still managing to keep your life might be considered lucky. But if you end up immobile, or even worse, bedridden, it would be a fate worse than death.

"Just imagine, what if you lose your little buddy!"

Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)×3

Heseman Brown: "No need to say more, I want a backup!"

Miyoshi Xuesen: "Me too!"

Dang Wei Jun: "..."

￣▽￣!

Chen Fei seemed to have caught on to something important, saving a lot of breath—no, effort. But honestly, what does he care about these two guys' 'little buddies' anyway!

"It shouldn't be like that, right?"

The S-Class Space Ability User pointed with some horror at the "Star Perch" tightly entwined by tree roots, its roots infiltrating almost every crevice. This big fish was truly in a miserable state.

This process of collecting DNA really has its challenges!

"No need, just a drop of blood, a bit of skin, or some saliva—any of these will suffice—just as long as you have your cells, at the very least your DNA information will be complete."

Chen Fei still had some basic biological knowledge.

What the "Life Tree" did to the "Star Perch" was simply for more in-depth exploration.

The monk rubbed his bald head and said with relief, "As long as it's not like that!"

"That's great! When do we start?"

Heseman Brown also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if he had to be probed by those tentacle-like roots, he'd rather be dead; a warrior can be killed but not disgraced.

"It's already completed!"

Even Chen Fei was surprised. The "Life Tree" had unknowingly done DNA backups for all the humans who came here, not just Heseman Brown, Dang Wei Jun, and himself, but even the monk and his ninja team weren't missed.

"So fast? I didn't even do anything!"

Heseman Brown looked around, touched his head, and remembered he hadn't pulled out any hair, drawn any blood, or spat saliva (which contains epithelial cells). Despite having done nothing, his DNA information had been collected.

"Last time's barbecue food scraps, or just daily shed skin flakes, hair—you have many sources. As long as your brain function remains intact, you can even replace your entire body."

Chen Fei promptly received the sources of those DNA from the big tree.

No wonder it's comparable to a "seed nest," even though its appearance doesn't resemble a common "seed nest," its essence has no difference.

"This is truly good news! Does this mean I can achieve immortality?"

The S-Class Space Ability User was overjoyed. If his kidneys weren't good, he'd just replace them; if his 'little buddy' wasn't working, he'd swap it out; if something was damaged, he'd fix it. So easy!

If cancer appeared, he'd replace his entire body. It's simply fantastic!

Chen Fei sneered, "Wishful thinking! The brain has its lifespan too!"

Lifespan, once the DNA inscription is completed by the egg and sperm, cannot be altered. The upper limit of human life is 150 years, not a day more; 800 million heartbeats, not a beat more. Joy, anger, sorrow, sadness, and life injuries continually reduce lifespan without any possibility of increase.

"Alright, I really envy those who can live for hundreds of years!"

Mr. Brown looked envious and resentful. Although he was a proud S-Class Ability User, he was still a short-lived ghost betting he wouldn't live past a hundred.

"Brown, if you could live for hundreds of years, what about your family? Loved ones, children—they'd all depart before you, leaving only loneliness beside you. Of course, apart from the pension, invoking Amitabha Buddha."

Miyoshi Monk had no interest in eternal youth. In Buddhism, there's the concept of reincarnation, so an earlier death means earlier rebirth—maybe even a lucky reincarnation. So no matter how long he lived, as long as it ended well, invoking Amitabha Buddha was enough.

The result described by the monk was unacceptable for Heseman Brown, who sighed and said dejectedly, "Then... then maybe it's not worth it!"

He valued family and kinship dearly. Becoming a lonely soul wasn't as good as dying early.

Living that long would be really boring, actually.

Chen Fei spread his hands and admitted, "At least one thing's for sure: the magic potion for limb regeneration is very expensive, but the potion for organ regeneration is even more expensive."

"Hehehe..." ×3

Not only the monk and Mr. Brown, but even Old Party laughed too. It's the capital for survival!

Regeneration Potions are not only rare but also expensive, always a commodity without a market. If there were too many disabled people, it'd be hard to manage, and even an S-Class Ability User might not guarantee access to such potions.

"Almost there!"

Chen Fei looked towards the "Star Perch," which was trembling weakly, its thirty-meter-long triangular body drooping head-to-tail.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and the formidable head of the "Star Perch" suddenly split open. As thick mucus spurted out, a child-like humanoid figure emerged, naked, and tumbled straight onto the grass.

"What is that?"

The S-Class Space Ability User was truly startled.

How could a person emerge from the head of the space creature "Star Perch"?

Clang!~

Dang Wei Jun immediately drew his sword, standing at the forefront of everyone.

"It's a parasitic species, this size..."

Miyoshi Xuesen was the first to react, taking a look up and down, exclaiming, "King Species!"

What a surprise!

"Star Perch" turned out to be the host parasitized by "Sagali", and it even hosted a King Species.

The size can determine the different levels of "Sagali". The King Species, also known as Tamira, is three feet in length, without mustache or hair. If it can find a powerful host, it can even exert combat power from the third to sixth ranks of the Earth Order.

"Not bad at all!"

Chen Fei waved his hand, moving the immobile "Star Perch" away with the tree roots protruding from below the grass, then walked straight to the King Species lying in the grass panting heavily. This was the first time he had captured a parasitic species in outer space, and perhaps there were also some parasitic species in the battle with the Biological Space Mothership cluster, but there was no opportunity to examine those spoils of war one by one.

Being bombed and continuously blasted with demolition bombs, even the thick skin and flesh of the "Star Perch" could not offset all of the impact. Even if it didn't die, being dizzy was inevitable. Perhaps that one needle of anesthesia, which seemed unnecessary, actually turned out to be somewhat foresighted.

Although "Sagali" and Blue Star Humans are not of the same species, they are quite similar in genetic information. Anesthetics effective on Blue Star organisms would also have some effect on "Sagali".

"Hey! You piece of crap, can you talk?"

Chen Fei unceremoniously used his foot to flip the King Species' body face up, then glanced at its crotch, Emmm, it was a female.

A parasitic species without a host is like a tiger without claws and teeth, left with very little threat, unable to even cast elemental series spells, relying solely on strong spiritual power.

"Squeak!~"

The King Species suddenly emitted an extremely sharp screech.

The mental shock spread out in all directions like a ripple.

"My head hurts, it's a mental attack!"

The S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown gasped, holding his head with both hands, retreating repeatedly as if his head unexpectedly took a sudden blow.

As an S-Class Ability User, his spiritual power is far superior to that of ordinary people, yet he still couldn't match "Sagali". Perhaps only Psychic Power Users could withstand this kind of attack.

"This guy still dares to resist! Chop him up for me!"

The situation was even worse for Miyoshi Monk, an A-level Dark Elemental Psychic. The ninjas from the shadows were also affected, stumbling out one by one as if drunk, barely able to hold onto their weapons.

The long knife in Dang Wei Jun's hand, an Earth Element War Professional, was trembling, resisting purely on willpower until the Battle Qi Flame rose from his body, which made the situation marginally better.

Bang!~

Like kicking a soccer ball, Chen Fei kicked the King Species' head hard.

"Watch yourself if you don't want more trouble, better behave."

Boom, another fierce kick. Even though it looked like a young girl, there was no hope for sympathy from the tyrant.

The sudden spiritual power shock was interrupted.

The tyrant simply did not possess any sympathy.

"Can you respond?"

Chen Fei removed his tactical helmet, looking at the King Species expressionlessly. This level of spiritual power shock didn't even require him to use protective alchemical artifacts, he could completely ignore it.

The King Species' spiritual power fluctuation had just stirred, and it was swiftly and mercilessly disrupted with a kick.

Then, kick after kick, seventeen to eighteen times in a row, turning the King Species' head into a swollen pig's head, flailing about trying to struggle, yet unable to even get up.

Unless it evolves to the Divine Breed or higher level, it cannot escape the parasitic state. Now directly exposed to air rich in various microorganisms and dust, this King Species was extremely discomforted, especially after leaving the host "Star Perch", losing nutritional and immune supply, its survival time had already started counting down, and it wouldn't take long before it withered and died.

While "Sagali" is powerful, its body itself is extremely fragile.

"You still don't understand human language?"

Chen Fei was somewhat exasperated. He had encountered "Sagali" able to communicate before. Despite being the same species, why was there such a difference?

The King Species beneath his feet was obstinate as if brainless, attacking with spiritual power, unable to comprehend human speech, without any desire to communicate.

"...Are you going to talk? ...Speak, damn it... planning to resist till the end? ...Not going to behave..."

Until trampled into a bloody pile of flesh, the King Species, apart from squeaking, didn't reveal anything and succumbed in grievance.

"Are you okay?"

Witnessing Chen Fei's exasperation facing the already lifeless "Sagali", the Earth Element War Professional Dang Wei Jun forced out a sentence.

In the next second, his expression changed suddenly, his Battle Qi Flame surged, and he leaped up, gripping his knife with both hands, stabbing forward with full force.
