Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Leaving the family station, Li Qi studied the communicator while flying.

After becoming familiar with the functions of the communicator, he opened the map.

This is a map of the grassland managed by Chaoguang City. It marks the pasture ranges of various tribes on the periphery of the grassland.

If you want to know the strength of a tribe, just look at the size of the tribe's pasture on the map.

The pastures occupied by powerful tribes are very large, and the pastures are close to the inner grasslands where there are many monsters. They are the first line of defense against the invasion of monsters.

Compared with the large tribes that are on the front line against the invasion of monsters, the small tribes face little threat from monsters on the periphery of the grassland and occupy much smaller pastures.

The pastures of some tribes even have to be specially marked, otherwise the range of their pastures cannot be shown.

Looking carefully at the tribes marked on the map, Li Qi thought to himself, "Going from the family towards Chaoguang City, there are many tribes on the road.

"But judging from the distance, there are only nine tribes suitable for taking refuge in the family station, and the other four tribes are closer to other refuges."

The shelter was formed due to the beast tide, which was a period of monster riots.

During this riot period, the planet-level monsters that usually move in the inner areas of the grassland will lead groups of apprentice-level monsters to the outer areas of the grassland.

Sometimes there will be a rare number of stellar monsters involved!

Before the beast tide comes, powerful tribes will gather their scattered tribesmen and shrink into their bases to defend and reduce losses.

Due to the shrinkage of the strength of the large tribes on the front line against the monsters, monsters that had been difficult to enter and operate on the outskirts of the grassland in the past could easily enter the outskirts of the grassland during this period.

The tribes grazing on the outskirts of the grassland were weak and unable to fight against the large number of monsters, so they had to temporarily move to larger tribes to seek shelter.

Over time, the shelter was formed.

"First notify the nine tribes that are suitable to take refuge in the family station to see if they choose to migrate alone or gather together to move together.

"After completion, contact other patrols to see if they have notified the other four tribes."

Without thinking for long, Li Qi made a plan.

After flying for about ten minutes, he arrived at the first tribe's pasture.

Controlling the bone shield to stop in the air, Li Qi looked at the map and roughly estimated the distance.

"The speed at which I control the bone shield to fly at full speed should be between five and six hundred meters per second. I wasn't flying at full speed just now, but my speed was still three to four hundred meters per second.

"Based on ten minutes' flight time, the distance between here and the family ranch is about two hundred kilometers.

"Two hundred kilometers. With the migration speed of those weak tribes, I don't know if they can reach the family ranch in one day."

Li Qi watched carefully from the air for a long time, and finally found traces of the owner of the ranch.

There is a black spot on the grassland in the distance, and wisps of green smoke are floating above the black spot.

"There."

Whispering to himself, he controlled the bone shield and flew in the direction of the rising smoke.

Getting closer and closer, Li Qi felt a little incredible, the population of this weak tribe was actually quite large!

He made a rough count and found that the tribe had about 120 tents. If there were four people in each tent, there were almost 500 people.

Five hundred people, but not even a planet-level person!

And the Royce family he belongs to has less than a hundred people, and there are only six permanent planet-level ones.

Li Qi, who stayed in the air with his head lowered, was silent.

The impact of the scene before him was far beyond what the beast wave two years ago could compare to.

During the Beast Tide two years ago, he was still an apprentice-level seventh-level spiritual master. He saw those apprentices of the fourth and fifth levels who were much older than him, participating in the first Beast Tide trial with him.

At that time, he felt shocked.

But now he truly understands that not every tribe is called the Royce family.

This was completely different from the peaceful and stable previous life in his vague memory! Seeing more and more people gathering below, Li Qi controlled the bone shield to slowly descend.

Below, many young men were holding bows and arrows or spears and looking up warily. Some arrows were already on the strings.

The elderly, women and children have hid in the tents, and pairs of eyes peering out can still be seen through the gaps in some tents.

As Li Qi slowly fell, he saw that the person coming was not a monster, but a human queen.

The vigilant young men breathed a sigh of relief and put down their bows, arrows and spears one after another. Some called the old people, women and children out of the tents.

Landing in an open space, Li Qi looked at the people around him and found that most of them were at the fifth or sixth level of apprentices. Some people with obviously better weapons and equipment were only at the seventh or eighth level of apprentices.

There are even fewer ninth-level apprentices, only two!

After using his mental power to find out, Li Qi sighed in his heart, "There are only two ninth-level apprentices among the five hundred people. This tribe is too weak. No wonder it is rated as a weak tribe."

Li Qi was looking at others, and others were also looking at him.

They were very curious about this person who dared to come to other tribes alone.

But when these people saw Li Qi's age and appearance, they all looked shocked.

Because you are young!

Really too young!

In their tribe, Li Qi was not qualified to take the first beast tide trial at this age.

But he dared to come to his tribe alone. He was obviously very confident in his own strength. It was thought that ordinary apprentice-level monsters were no match for him.

"I am the leader of this tribe. Who is your Excellency?"

Soon, a tall, middle-aged man with strength at the ninth level of apprenticeship came to Li Qi.

"Li Qi Royce, the eleventh child of the Royce family, is currently serving as a patrol officer."

As he spoke, Li Qi showed the communicator on his wrist.

The tall and strong man was shocked, "Patrol? Could it be..."

He couldn't believe that it had only been a short time since the last beast tide, and a new beast tide was coming again!

"This is an email from Chaoguang City."

Li Qi turned on the projector and projected the email with the Chaoguang City seal in front of the tall and strong man.

The tall and strong man knew the universal language of the universe. After quickly reading the email, he had to believe that a new beast tide was coming.

Seeing that the tall and strong man had finished reading the email, Li Qi put away the communicator, "Arrange the tribe members to move to the shelter of my Royce family as soon as possible. Because time is tight, I will leave first. There are other tribes that don't know the news of the beast tide."

After speaking, he manipulated the bone shield to take off and rushed towards the direction of the next tribe.

After Li Qi left, an eighth-level apprentice youth came to the tall and strong man, "Chief, he is patrolling, is he a planetary-level expert?"

"No." The tall and strong man shook his head and looked at Li Qi's departing figure with a complicated expression.

Retracting his gaze, he said bitterly: "He is a ninth-level apprentice spiritualist, stronger than me in terms of strength!"

"So young? He is stronger than you, Chief! You are worthy of being a member of the Royce family."

Looking at Li Qi going away in the sky, the young man admired him very much, but his admiration was more of envy.

...

After leaving the first tribe, Li Qi flew all the way and notified one family after another.

As night approached, he went through all the tribes suitable for migrating to the Royce family for refuge, and also notified three tribes that were farther away, leaving only the last tribe that he had not yet visited.
