Chapter 1738 On the Eve of War!
"Lord Xu Xiao, you are a powerful chosen one, we dare not deceive you..."
Mercenary B spoke tremblingly:
"The three of us... really don't know where those Palu people are hidden..."
"You fucking bastard, you're really pushing your luck, aren't you?!" Ma Han pointed a finger, clearly about to use his innate ability to teach the ungrateful mercenaries a lesson.
The latter hurriedly spoke up:
“Although we don’t know where the person is hidden, we can take you to see Smir Chaindu!”
"If you want to know anything, just ask him. He definitely knows more than we do!"
“Uh…” Ma Han stopped talking and glanced at Xu Xiao.
That's true.
But the behavior of these three mercenaries was rather strange.
It felt to him as if he had come here specifically to expose himself, only to be caught red-handed by him and Xu Xiao.
If this battlefield intuition is correct...
Listening to the suggestion of these three mercenaries and going with them to see the Oglin fox Smir was nothing short of a trap!
"Class monitor... I think it's still necessary to interrogate them a bit." After a brief moment of thought, Ma Han suggested.
"You've had so many contacts with Shi Aotian and his group before, but you haven't been able to get any useful information out of them."
"I don't think anything will change this time either."
"No way! No way!!" Before Xu Xiao could respond, Mercenary C shouted:
"The situation will definitely be different from before!"
"After all, Lord Xu Xiao had no evidence before, so Shi Aotian and Smir were able to forcefully argue their case!"
"But now, the three of us are the best witnesses!"
"As long as Lord Xu Xiao is willing to spare our lives, we are willing to help you identify the crimes of the slave group!"
"To be honest, we also despise the shady things they do. If it weren't for Smir preventing us from leaving, we would have left the slave group long ago!"
Hearing these "heartfelt words," Ma Han felt it was more like a trap.
But Xu Xiao just happens to fall for this!
Before he could even offer any advice, the woman nodded in agreement:
"Okay, let's set off now."
“Squad leader, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. At least let me inform Manager Pan…” Ma Han said with concern, while glaring at the three mercenaries opposite him.
"No need." Xu Xiao replied in a deep voice, a white halo surrounding him.
"You know the situation on Earth isn't very good either, so don't cause Xiaoxiao any trouble. I can handle it."
“But…” Ma Han was still a little worried and wanted to say something.
But Xu Xiao's next sentence made him swallow his words.
"Even if I can't do it alone, I still have you as my 'assistant'."
"Don't worry, we've had so many contacts with Shi Aotian before without any problems. This time we're just going to confront his subordinate, Smir Chain Supervisor. There won't be any issues."
"Lord Xu Xiao, may I come along?" the pigman Oink interjected.
"I'm worried about Xiaoxuan and Maggie, and my newborn baby..."
"Okay, let's go together." Xu Xiao replied simply, his body floating in the air, his feet already off the ground.
Supported by her immense spiritual power, Ma Han and Oinke were lifted up, along with the three mercenaries still bound by the white thorns, and shot towards the sky.
at the same time,
A large black-sailed ship suspended above the clouds.
Unnoticed by anyone, Elisa, who was quietly floating beside the mast, trembled her eyelashes and slightly opened her eyes.
At this moment, her pupils were no longer the round shape they once were as a Palkia.
It then transformed into a dazzling, invisible display of light and shadow.
Like a dazzling diamond, it refracts a magnificent rainbow of colors under the sunlight.
If Pan Xiaoxiao were present at this moment and could witness this subtle change, she would surely have gained some insight.
Because of the current state of Elisa's eyes, she had witnessed it once before in the Demon Realm.
However, the person whose pupils transformed into light and shadow, refracting brilliant colors, was not Elisa.
Instead, he used his innate ability, "Gambler," to create a superb replica of Elisa's "Lucky Goddess's Blessing" Nikita!
Unfortunately,
Pan Xiaoxiao was not on the Black Sail ship and was unable to witness this change;
Elisa's awakening was so subtle that it failed to attract the attention of anyone on the ship.
Only the little golden dragon perched on her shoulder and neck slightly raised its eyelids, silently met her gaze, and shook its head slightly.
A hint of sadness appeared on Elisa's expressionless face.
She sighed softly, drawing the attention of everyone on deck, and then whispered a series of coordinates.
After that, he closed his eyes again.
As if still half asleep, it drifted back into a deep sleep.
The Lin family members on deck stood there stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Nikita, who was drinking and relieving his boredom by the helm at the stern.
The latter pushed up his captain's hat, which was already askew on his head, and raised his eyes, which were filled with drunkenness and confusion:
"Those coordinates seem to be from a major trading star within the Palu Star Belt, right?"
“That’s right, it’s the one where Shi Bashi, the second-in-command of the slave group, is located.” Lin Cheng stepped forward and gave an affirmative response.
"Where is the Virgin Mary?" Nikita's bewildered eyes began to light up.
"Just left..." Lin Cheng replied, glancing at the data panel that had just received a message notification.
He paused, then added:
"Ma Han just sent a message saying that Xu Xiao has captured the three mercenaries who kidnapped the Palu people, and is now having them lead the way to confront the Oglin fox Smir."
"Uh... the message I received said that Smir Chain Supervisor, also known as the fox-man Smir, really wants to know where the kidnapped Palu people are hiding..."
“Suka…” Nikita cursed under his breath, throwing the bottle in his hand to the side, where it shattered into glass shards on the nearby deck.
With that loud bang, the 'pirate captain,' who had been depressed for some time, finally rallied and shouted the order:
"It's available on the entire ship!"
"Let's follow!"
Neptune domain.
Earth.
Central shelter in the capital.
Chengtianmen Square.
The location that was originally the site of the world's first super-large-scale slaughter secret realm has now been transformed into a magnificent white palace.
A faint black mist permeated the air.
However, the closer one gets to the white palace, the denser the black fog becomes.
Up to the entrance, the black mist was so thick it was almost like liquid, as if it could drip down from the air at any moment.
In the center of this white palace, a slightly slender figure sat cross-legged.
Each breath stirred the surrounding black mist, causing it to rise and fall rhythmically.
Time seemed to stand still in this space, no longer flowing normally.
Until that long-lasting, regular fluctuation stopped.
Until the figure opened its black and red eyes, filled with endless hatred and terror.
He uttered a sentence calmly:
"I didn't expect Lin Qinxue... to do such a good job..."
