Galaxy of Giant Ships: Starting with Data-Driven Warships

Chapter 56, First Tier 2 Enslaved Creature

The gargoyle trembled slightly, a hint of pain appearing on its bluish-gray face, but it did not struggle or resist, silently enduring the erosion of the mark of enslavement.

However, the soul strength of a second-order creature far exceeds that of a first-order creature. Even though the host itself did not resist, it had not reached the point of completely opening its sea of ​​consciousness. After the mark of enslavement entered the gargoyle's sea of ​​consciousness, it was still resisted by its soul's instinct.

Time passed by, second by second.

Finally, at a certain moment—

The mark's light dimmed suddenly and then vanished completely.

The first attempt at enslavement failed.

Chen Yao frowned slightly, but his hands did not stop moving, and the second enslavement mark shot out again.

Not long after, the second attempt also failed.

"The third time!"

Chen Yao let out a low cry, and the blue enslavement mark disappeared into the gargoyle's head.

However, the miracle still did not occur.

Waaah!

A low, mournful cry came from the second-tier gargoyle, and the light in its eyes dimmed completely the next second, and its body was devoid of any life force.

Chen Yao shook his head, a sigh appearing in his eyes, but it quickly turned into determination.

"Continue, the second one!"

Two minutes later, the second gargoyle died.

Five minutes later, the third one.

It wasn't until the fourth time that the outcome finally changed.

After the first attempt at enslavement failed, Chen Yao quickly applied the second enslavement mark. He originally thought that the result would be no different this time, but he did not expect that the enslavement mark would stubbornly be imprinted into the depths of the fourth gargoyle's soul.

He exhaled a long breath, and fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

But he didn't stop. With a thought, he sent a command to the gargoyle that had been successfully enslaved:

"Stand up and come to me."

The gargoyle stood up in response, walked to the edge of the cage, and stared at Chen Yao through the alloy bars.

Its eyes were no longer filled with blind obedience, but with a lively excitement and a hint of ingratiation, as if from this moment on, Chen Yao was everything to it.

"Not bad." Chen Yao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the last remaining gargoyle.

He bought this using family points and merit points, so naturally he couldn't waste it.

As expected, all three attempts failed.

Chen Yao leaned back in the captain's chair, closing his eyes to rest.

The repeated application of the Enslavement Mark had greatly depleted his mental strength, and at this moment he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.

"One... and this is the easiest gargoyle to enslave, tamed by generations of the family."

While muttering to himself, Chen Yao didn't feel much joy. He seemed to foresee an even lower and more frighteningly low success rate when enslaving the Crocodile Demon Clan and the Half-Dragon People.

After resting for a while, he released the second-tier gargoyle from its cage.

Once enslavement is successful, the life and death of the enslaved will be entirely in the hands of Captain Torch. Moreover, the enslaved will naturally show a strong sense of affection towards the enslaving captain, so there is no need to worry about them suddenly attacking or turning against the captain.

"From today onwards, your name is Guiyi."

Chen Yao casually gave it a name, and at the same time, on a whim, he issued his first command.

"Ghost One, fly out for a stroll."

Upon receiving the order from its master, the gargoyle named Ghost One spread its wings and flapped them continuously. The bluish-gray wing membrane, with a wingspan of over four meters, quickly began to stir up gusts of wind. The next second, the gargoyle's entire body was suspended in the air and rushed straight out of the warship through the open hatch of the Sky Patrol.

It only returned after circling the warship twice at a considerable speed.

Chen Yao nodded slightly.

A second-tier flying enslaved creature is an extremely important addition to the Sky Patrol's combat strength at present.

It can play a huge role in both void reconnaissance when exploring alien galaxies and in frontal combat.

More importantly, its combat power is a genuine Tier 2, unlike the Rock Guardian Terracotta Warrior.

This will likely be the key combat force for the third exploration of the alien space, that is, to continue challenging the Xuan Tian Trial Space.

"Now, continue your cultivation!"

……

Several days later, a message from my mother came through the second-generation Skycomb bracelet in my hand.

"Son, the package you mentioned has arrived."

Upon receiving the message, Chen Yao immediately stepped out of the Sky Patrol Ship. Behind him followed a grayish-blue figure over two meters tall, which was a second-tier gargoyle.

After receiving the package, Chen Yao tossed it directly to Gui Yi.

That's right, the items he bought this time were not for his own use, but were specifically purchased for Gui Yi.

Once the exquisite alloy case is opened, a beautiful black exoskeleton armor set is revealed.

The Stone Statue Type II Exoskeleton Armor is an exoskeleton armor specially designed by the Chen Clan of the Dragon Clan for their Stone Statue clan. As far as Chen Yao knows, the highest level of this exoskeleton armor for Stone Statues has now been designed to fit the fourth generation, namely the Stone Statue Type IV Exoskeleton Armor. However, the one that Chen Yao purchased from the family's trading network this time is only the second generation.

"Quick, try them on!"

Ghost tilted its head, a hint of confusion in its gray pupils.

Although it has been enslaved and can understand Chen Yao's simple commands, the operation of "wearing exoskeleton armor" is obviously too complicated for it.

Chen Yao shook his head and could only step forward himself to dress him.

click!

Two minutes later, the last piece of back armor was fastened.

Chen Yao took two steps back and looked Gui Yi up and down after he put on the exoskeleton.

The gargoyle's bluish-gray body was now covered by a layer of jet-black alloy armor. The armor's lines were smooth and fit tightly to the curves of Oni's body, without affecting its movements in the slightest.

Sharp metal spikes were added to the joints of the shoulders, elbows, and knees, gleaming coldly in the dim light.

The armor has been specially designed to allow for movement at the position of the wings on the back. When the wing membranes are deployed, the black alloy frame and the bluish-gray wing membranes fit together perfectly, ensuring that it will not affect Oni's flight ability in any way.

"good."

After confirming that there were no problems, Chen Yao retreated to a safe distance.

"Ghost One, stretch out a bit, let me see the effect."

Upon receiving the order, the ghost suddenly spread its wings, its wingspan exceeding four meters, creating a gust of wind. With its legs slightly bent, it pushed off the ground and its massive body shot straight into the sky like an arrow.

The speed is more than 50% faster than when not wearing armor.

Chen Yao looked up and saw the black figure rapidly traversing the high sky of Tianlan Star, sometimes diving, sometimes climbing, sometimes circling, its movements smooth and natural without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, this exoskeleton armor greatly enhances Oni's abilities.

Afterwards, Chen Yao tested Gui Yi's attack and defense capabilities, and the final results were very satisfactory to him.

This [Stone Statue Type II Exoskeleton Armor], in addition to basic protection and strength enhancement, is also equipped with a miniature cold nuclear fusion engine, which is enough to further enhance Oni's already amazing speed. In addition, it can maintain the operation of the internal life cycle for a long time, allowing Oni to fight in the vacuum environment of space for a long time.

In addition, the exoskeleton armor has two miniature missiles built into its shoulders. Although they are not very powerful, they are still enough to pose a certain threat to second-tier creatures.

Having confirmed the significant boost this exoskeleton armor would provide to Ghost One, Chen Yao's smile grew even wider.

This suit of armor cost him a full 2000 general points + 100 merit points, which wasn't cheap, but now it seems that the money was well spent.
