Chapter 115 Mission Completed
Han Xiao was startled and quickly jumped back, dodging the particles before they could solidify and harden, tearing off the diamond pillar that had not yet solidified.
Seeing that his trump card had failed, Ash suppressed his shock and shouted, "Go!"
His other abilities are all conventional combat methods, lacking in lethality. Now is clearly not the time to linger in battle, and there is no time to create unnecessary complications.
hum!
Ash manipulated his powers to expand the area, and the ground and walls centered on him began to ripple like water, with countless carbon elements being stripped away and then reshaped.
Countless powdery particles, like fluttering black ribbons, swirled around Li Yuan and Han Xiao, and quickly hardened into diamonds of various shapes.
Karala!
The entire area was filled with floating and swirling carbon dust, like undulating waves, changing shapes at will, which was quite spectacular. Every now and then, it would turn into various spikes, barriers, cages, etc., trying to stop Li Yuan and Han Xiao.
However, at that moment, the roof of the slave market was blown off, and several aircraft of the Lontan Guard were seen circling in the air, firing searchlights.
These people were players who had been hiding nearby as instructed by Li Yuan, and now was the perfect opportunity for them to make their mark.
Boom boom boom!
All the aircraft opened fire simultaneously, and golden lasers poured down like a torrential rain, firing wildly at the thugs present.
"It's the Longtan Guard! Run!"
"Split up and run!"
In an instant, the rioters panicked and scattered like birds and beasts, running away in all directions.
Li Yuan did not rush to catch up, but instead reported the matter to Visander first.
Since it concerned Longtan's reputation, Visander immediately dispatched his guards to hunt down the thugs.
Han Xiao took the opportunity to go to the underground of the slave market, broke down the door of the cell where Arosia was imprisoned, and reached out his hand to her.
However, Arosia just stared at Han Xiao's hand with a confused expression on her face, without making any other move.
Considering that Arosia was currently in a state of "amnesia," Han Xiao thought for a moment and simply stepped forward to unlock her shackles and collar, grabbed her hand, and walked straight out.
As expected, Arosia showed no intention of resisting and calmly allowed Han Xiao to lead her away.
From beginning to end, she kept her eyes fixed on Han Xiao. Although she acted like a puppet, her eyes were incredibly lively, as if she were deep in thought.
Han Xiao led her to catch up with the tracking team and arrived at Li Yuan's side: "How is it?"
Li Yuan's gaze swept over Aroshia, then turned to Han Xiao, pointing to the frantically fleeing aircraft ahead and saying, "That group of Silver Spirits is in that aircraft ahead."
Han Xiao nodded: "They are probably from Dark Star—"
At this moment, inside the Dark Star's spacecraft.
"We can't shake off that aircraft behind us! Other guards are on their way to provide support. We'd better get away as soon as possible!" the pilot said urgently.
Ash's face was solemn, feeling that this trip had been extremely unlucky.
Their plan was originally very well-thought-out and was being executed smoothly.
The culprits behind this situation are the two people who suddenly barged in and blocked our way.
If he could kill those two instantly upon first meeting them, that would be fine. However, the problem is that not only are those two B-level superhumans, but they are also immune to his carbon atom deconstruction!
This is simply unbelievable!
It should be noted that before this, he had never failed when using this move against a target weaker than himself!
However, right here on this Dragon Tan Floating Island, he not only failed, but two of them came at once!
"As expected, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak and isolated the Dragon Throne may be, it is still a Super A-level. It does have some extraordinary talents under its command. You have to admit it."
Ash's mind raced with various thoughts, but he decided to act quickly and make contact with the "deliveryman" right now.
After all, in this situation, they no longer had time to wait until they were safe to interrogate these Silver Spirits individually.
However, he had a good plan, but an unexpected thing happened.
All the Silver Spirits he snatched looked bewildered; not one of them could match the code.
There were no delivery people among these people!
Ash almost lost his composure. He had put in so much effort and stirred up such a huge hornet's nest, only to be told now that it was all for nothing?
Fortunately, he quickly guessed another possibility and asked, "Do you have any other companions?"
The Silver Spirit dared not refuse to answer, and said tremblingly, "We originally had 17 people, but two of them were thrown into space during the escort and have died."
The cargo driver died and was thrown into space?
Everyone on Dark Star, including Ash, was stunned.
What are we going to do? So much time has passed, the mummified remains of the deliveryman have probably drifted away somewhere, and we won't be able to find them even if we want to.
At this moment, Ash's face was stiff, feeling utterly miserable. He had intended to complete the mission quietly, but all his efforts of making thirteen moves had been in vain.
With a long sigh, Ash waved his hand, and countless black dust particles turned into a smoke screen, obscuring the view of Li Yuan and the others behind him.
When they broke through the smoke screen, they found that Ash and the others had vanished without a trace, leaving only the Silver Spirits behind, huddled together, trembling.
These Silver Spirits were no longer of any use to the Ashes, so they were simply abandoned here by the Dark Star people to slightly hinder the Dragon Tank Guard's pursuit and make it easier for them to escape.
Seeing this, Li Yuan, Han Xiao, and the others stopped pursuing and protected the Silver Spirit Man again.
Just then, Visander transmitted a message: "I've arrested all the thugs here, only the group you were chasing is left. How's the situation?"
Li Yuan shook his head: "We couldn't stop them. They have a very powerful superhuman among them."
"Huh? You guys—" Visander immediately started babbling on and on.
After reporting the entire incident to Grand Steward Jenny and resolving the entanglement with slave trader Holland, the Silver Spirits and other released slaves finally gained their freedom.
Han Xiao finally had time to ask the Silver Spirits what the Dark Star people wanted from them.
After listening to the Silver Spirit's rambling and incoherent narration, he summarized a few key points:
First, what Pei Xing wants is not all Silver Spirits, but a specific Silver Spirit;
Secondly, this special Silver Spirit must have had prior contact with Pei Xing, and his companions were unaware of his identity.
Third, one of the two Silver Spirits who were thrown into space and died long ago is Dark Star's target:
Fourth, this should not be the first time such an action has occurred.
After explaining the situation to Li Yuan, Li Yuan thought for a moment and took out the black bead he had picked up from Paiji.
Upon seeing this, Han Xiao was immediately stunned: "This is... a secret whisper bead?"
Li Yuan nodded: "This thing should be Dark Star's target, but it can't be opened."
"Perhaps, I know someone who can open it—" Han Xiao thought carefully for a moment and said slowly.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Ash also thought of finding Pike, the scavenger who had captured the Silver Spirits, but after some inquiries, he discovered that Pike and his entire scavenging group had long since died.
Now that the trail had completely dried up, Ash was utterly at a loss and had no choice but to report the situation truthfully to the higher-ups at Dark Star.
After listening, the higher-ups pondered for a moment and said, "Understood. The mission is canceled. You can come back now."
"Yes." Ash sighed unwillingly.
In Longtan Prison, members of the three major mercenary groups rested in their cells, some standing, some sitting, and some lying down, waiting for their respective leaders to come and ransom them.
Suddenly, footsteps approached. Everyone initially thought they were patrolling guards, but it turned out to be Li Yuan and Han Xiao.
"Everyone, the mission is complete," Li Yuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the members of the three mercenary groups widened their eyes in astonishment: "You rescued the Silver Spirits?!"
-
Li Yuan took out the communicator he was using to talk to his Silver Spirit employer, who personally confirmed that their companion had been rescued.
Instantly, hundreds of mercenaries in the cell stood up, their faces showing shock.
Most of the mercenaries had already given up hope for this mission, but they handed it over to the Xuanji Mercenary Group only because they were powerless to do anything about it when they were captured.
Unexpectedly, the Xuanji Mercenary Group, having been entrusted with a critical mission, actually succeeded, which truly moved them.
Goya, the leader of the Sky Ring team, clenched his fist, his eyes filled with excitement: "You have not let us down!"
Han Xiao smiled and shrugged, saying, "Really? Judging from your current performance, it seems you didn't have any expectations for our Xuanji Mercenary Group before this."
Upon hearing this, the mercenaries immediately looked embarrassed and awkward.
But to be honest, it's actually quite normal.
After all, Tianhuan, Daofeng, and Zijin are all renowned and powerful legions.
Although the Xuanji Mercenary Group were their teammates on this mission, they didn't show it on their faces, but they still felt a sense of superiority.
In the minds of most members of the three major mercenary groups, the Xuanji Mercenary Group was just an optional extra.
Unexpectedly, it was the initially unknown Xuanji Mercenary Group that ultimately completed this tumultuous mission.
Fortunately, neither Li Yuan nor Han Xiao harbored much resentment towards each other.
After everyone relaxed and laughed for a while, Li Yuan asked, "When will you all be able to come out?"
Goya smiled and said, "The Legion's higher-ups have already paid the compensation and are on their way to Longtan. We'll be free once they arrive, probably in the next few days."
Li Yuan and Han Xiao exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
a few days later.
The high-ranking officers of the three major mercenary groups finally arrived at Dragon's Lair Island, albeit belatedly.
After meeting with them and accepting their apology, Jenny, the head steward, finally released the members of the three mercenary groups who had been imprisoned for many days.
Subsequently, high-ranking officials from the Tianhuan, Daofeng, and Zijin legions came to contact Li Yuan and Han Xiao, displaying a very friendly attitude.
In this operation, the Xuanji Mercenary Group not only demonstrated extraordinary capabilities, but also gained the backing of Long Tan, making them no longer someone to be underestimated.
Immediately, the group prepared to leave Dragon Tan Floating Island and return the Silver Spirit to its impatient employer.
Li Yuan and Han Xiao waited until this point so that they could hitch a ride on a boat together.
Just then, the head steward Jenny, the captain of the guard Visander, and the logistics supervisor Hale all arrived at the dock to see them off.
Instantly, the entire dock was stunned, and all the thugs looked at the Xuanji Mercenary Group members with suspicion and uncertainty.
The fact that the three top officials of Longtan came to see them off shows that they hold a very high position here!
"His Majesty the Dragon Throne has granted permission for your Xuanji Mercenary Group to become Longtan's field operations force. Your power will be Longtan's armed force outside the country. We hope you can grow stronger quickly." Jenny looked at Li Yuan and Han Xiao with a serious expression.
Li Yuan and Han Xiao had previously discussed the future development of the Xuanji Mercenary Group. They both agreed that they did not want to stay on Longtan Floating Island indefinitely.
After all, being confined to one place is not conducive to the development of a mercenary group.
While there are many advantages to being in Longtan, the opportunities are ultimately limited, far less than those in the vast universe.
However, they couldn't just forcibly leave Longtan, so after discussing it, they submitted an application requesting to conduct fieldwork.
This would be a win-win situation.
And clearly, Ames approved their application.
At this moment, Jenny handed over a communicator: "It can contact Ames directly, but I remind you, unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best not to disturb her."
After putting away the communicator, the Xuanji Mercenary Group boarded Tianhuan's spaceship again.
Because Longtan Floating Island itself was constantly drifting in space, the three mercenary groups spent less time returning to the desolate planet where the Silver Spirit Man employers were docked compared to when they arrived.
As soon as the spaceship landed, the fifteen captured Silver Spirits, who had endured many hardships, eagerly returned to their main force.
This experience had kept them on tenterhooks for far too long, and now that they had finally escaped death, they were extremely excited.
Then, the employer paid the wages as agreed.
The various superpower knowledge that Li Yuan, Han Xiao, and others had mentioned before were now successfully acquired.
"Without you, my companions would not have been able to return safely."
At this moment, both the employer and all the rescued Silver Spirits set aside their cosmic aristocratic superiority and turned towards—
The members of the Xuanji Mercenary Group performed a gesture of deep gratitude, a custom in Silver Spirit culture.
"It's a pity that your two companions died in an accident," Han Xiao said.
"Sigh, it's their own bad luck, it's not your fault." The Silver Spirit employer shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"The Shattered Ring Starfield is far too dangerous. We need to leave now and return home."
"If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to invite you to visit the Silver Throne in the Starfield of the Star Spirits, to travel to our hometown."
After saying goodbye once again, all the Silver Spirits boarded their own spaceships.
The engines started, the spaceship slowly took off, and disappeared into the horizon.
