"That's why we need to speed up."
Xu Yan said, solemnly looking at the three of them. "Don't take unnecessary detours. We'll go straight through and clear the obstacles. We'll cross the nebula in eight days!"
"That means we still have two days to attack Silver Worm Planet. It's about time."
The three looked at each other. There was no better way. It seemed like this was the only way.
"The three of you, listen up."
Xu Yan's eyes lit up after he finished. "If this mission is successful, I should be promoted and leave Battle Wolf Planet. At that time, the new commander will be taken over by one of you three!"
As soon as Xu Yan finished, Fang Henian's eyes lit up. Chang Da also looked eager. Only Gu Chen did not have much interest.
He focused on the Desolate Realm, curious about what the Ancient Heaven was going to do.
"You guys take advantage of this. The merits you get from this mission will directly affect your promotion."
Xu Yan sat cross-legged and meditated. The three returned to their own spaceships.
The ten spaceships of the Battle Wolf Celestial Army activated their invisibility arrays and moved quickly along the remote star path, trying not to attract attention.
Three days later, they deviated from the normal star path and entered a vast nebula.
After entering the nebula, the speed of the ten spaceships suddenly dropped. They were about to face the biggest test of the journey.
The Milky Way nebula was filled with star sand. The smallest star sand was no bigger than a human body, and the largest was like a meteorite. They constantly emitted light and floated in the sky.
There were a lot of them and they were aggressive. Spaceships would often crash if they collided with them. Even if they carefully avoided them, if a small star sand entered the hull, it could still malfunction.
Even if they cleverly avoided all the dangers, the star-like light emitted from their bodies could create a large blind spot. They had to be careful when traveling.
Therefore, once they entered the nebula, the ten spaceships' protective arrays were fully activated. The most experienced Heavenly Soldiers formed groups of ten and were responsible for steering the spaceships forward.
With such caution, the first day of the army's journey was very safe.
On the second day, a star stream appeared in front of them. It was filled with star sand and cut off the army's route.
If they went around the star stream, it would take half a day more.
"Looks like it's my turn."
Because he had already received Xu Yan's instructions, Deputy Commander Chang Da directly flew out of the spaceship and stepped into the Star River alone.
He held a giant axe and rushed into the star stream to hack and slash. After an hour, he forcefully chopped all the star sand in the surroundings into pieces, barely revealing a passage for the spaceship to move forward.
"What do you think? It only took me an hour! "His face was full of pride when he returned.
"Not bad." Fang Henian nodded approvingly. Chang Da's divine power was perfect for a situation like this.
Gu Chen glanced at the broken star stream from afar, not saying a word.
"Hey, kid, how was that?"
Chang Da took the initiative to ask when he saw that Gu Chen didn't respond, and his eyes were filled with a wisp of provocation.
He was a straightforward person. If the more experienced Fang Henian were to compete with him for the position of commander, he would have no objections. After all, he was more experienced than Commander Xu.
However, he was a little unhappy that a recruit like Gu Chen was competing with him. He felt that Gu Chen didn't have the qualifications at all.
Even though he seemed to have performed well in the previous battle with Commander Xu, no one had personally witnessed their battle, so he didn't really believe it.
Along the way, everyone had many opportunities to make a move, so he wanted to see what the other party was really capable of.
"You want me to speak the truth?" Gu Chen looked at Chang Da and said after some consideration.
"Hmph, say whatever you want to say!" Chang Da said disdainfully.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Using an hour is a little slow, but that's not the main problem. The passage you opened is too small. With the speed of the star sand flow, before all ten of our spaceships can get through, the passage will be blocked again. "
"Bullsh * t! Try it if you can! "
Chang Da was instantly enraged. He hated people who didn't do anything but still gave him orders!
"If you don't believe me, just watch and see," Gu Chen said indifferently.
Chang Da's words were extremely infuriated, and he immediately paid attention to the ten spaceships moving forward.
Very quickly, his expression became somewhat unsightly.
The star sand in the star stream that he had cut off was flowing, and it was actually healing. By the time the eighth spaceship passed through the passage, the passage was already extremely narrow.
Hmph!
He was a little embarrassed, and he immediately flew out. He heavily chopped his axe several times, and with great difficulty, all ten spaceships passed through safely.
By the time they passed through this passage, he was so depressed that he didn't say a word!
Gu Chen didn't reprimand him, and he knew when to stop.
In less than half a day, a dense cluster of star sand appeared in front of them, blocking the path of the army.
"Kid, you seem to be quite good at talking. Why don't you do it this time?"
Chang Da saw this, and instantly said to Gu Chen in a strange tone.
Previously, he was very unhappy that the other party was right, so he wanted to see what the other party was capable of. If the other party was worse than him, he could laugh at him to his heart's content!
Gu Chen glanced at the cluster of star sand, and then shook his head. "This opportunity should be left to Deputy Commander Fang."
He directly refused. This surprised Chang Da, and his face was full of disdain.
"Alright, it's the Old Man's turn."
Fang Henian was particularly concerned about the position of commander, because he had long ago competed with Xu Yan when he was still a deputy commander.
Whether it was in terms of experience, merit, or strength, he felt that he should be promoted to commander no matter what. Thus, he didn't want to let go of any opportunity to show off.
He flew towards the cluster of star sand, took out a scarlet gold cannon from his storage ring, and slung it over his shoulder.
Boom — —
The cannon barrel exploded with scorching flames, transforming into a destructive beam of light. In a single breath, it pierced through the cluster of star sand!
For a moment, countless stardust retreated, opening up a wide path!
Such a method caused the Celestial Soldiers to cry out in surprise. This was much more powerful than Chang Da's previous method.
"What a powerful immortal treasure!"
After Fang Henian returned, Chang Da clicked his tongue in wonder, his eyes revealing some envy.
Fang Henian was famous in the Warwolf Heavenly Army for his wealth. It was said that in his early years on a mission, he had been lucky enough to seize a Divine Sect's treasury. Thus, his entire body was filled with treasures.
"Deputy Commander Gu, what do you think of the Old Man's move?" Fang Henian could not conceal the pride in his heart as he asked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled in response. "Deputy Commander Fang's move is truly impressive. Not only did it take a short time to open a path, it can also be maintained for an extremely long time, far surpassing Deputy Commander Chang."
