The unlucky Duabi
Duabi was very depressed. He was the mighty guildmaster of the Sacred Guild, yet he had been sent by Uti to capture a human who had infiltrated his territory. Even though Xia Fei's rank was not low, there was no need for him to personally take action, was there?
Moreover, Uti's request was not only to kill Xia Fei but also to take back the Blood Demon Claw! This was rather difficult. Putting aside the question of whether Xia Fei had destroyed the Blood Demon Claw, even if he found a place to hide, Duabi would have a hard time finding it. The universe was vast, and finding a plant in it was many times more difficult than finding a needle in the sea.
Duabi thought for a very long time. If he wanted to keep his life, the only way was to capture Xia Fei alive and then torture him. There was no other way. As long as he could capture Xia Fei alive, and Xia Fei was not the kind of stubborn person who would not talk no matter what, anything was possible.
Uti had sent Duabi on this mission on the surface to praise him, but in truth, it was also a test. If he could successfully complete the mission, there was naturally nothing to be said. He would be promoted and entrusted with important responsibilities, and riches and honor would be within his reach. If he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Everyone around Uti knew that this mite midget was no ordinary kind of vicious, or else he would not have become the master of the Golden Tent.
With this thought, Duabi heavily sighed. His eyes swept over the command deck of the warship. His trusted aides, Twelve Wings, were still playing an endless game of aeroplane chess. These warriors could be counted as the cream of the crop in their race, with the weakest being an advanced level 4 warrior, equivalent to an advanced Star River warrior in the Alliance.
Alas, while the Twelve Wings were not weak, their brains were not very nimble. They were having so much fun playing a little aeroplane chess that they had not rested for ten-some days, excitedly shouting all day, no different from human children.
Now that Mengen was dead, there were only six of the Seven Champions left. There would probably be another open and veiled struggle over who would be promoted to become one of the Seven Protectors of the Golden Tent. His subordinates did not have much chance, for their brains were not filled with intelligence, but with mental retardation!
Uti was an incredibly intelligent person, and he valued the intelligence of his subordinates the most. Only having martial prowess but no intelligence would hardly catch his eye. Though the insectoids had been evolving into an intelligent species on a large scale over the past few years, there was a very clear trend: the intelligent insectoids were lacking in martial prowess, and the intelligent insectoids were too low in intelligence. The two were very different, and it was extremely difficult to find someone with both intelligence and martial prowess in such a large species.
Uti and his brother, General Tanini, were the type who only had intellect but no martial prowess, while the Twelve Wings had martial prowess but no brains. Duabi sighed again. He could not be bothered with the Twelve Wings. Given their intellect, it was pointless for him to instruct them, and they would forget everything the moment he turned around. If he wanted to plant someone of his own in the Golden Tent, he would have to find someone else.
A dozen or so soldiers in charge of monitoring and operating the warship were lazily leaning back in their chairs. Although they did not dare to sleep in the open with Duabi around, they still looked rather indifferent. The warship had been parked in this part of space for more than ten days, and the soldiers had long since grown tired of it. Patience was never a word that belonged to the insectoids. They liked to associate it with irritation, impulsiveness, and bloodthirstiness.
"Keep your spirits up! Look at you guys! Each and every one of you is listless! If you keep dozing off, I'll chop you all up and feed you to the Thorn Beasts! "
Duabi turned around and saw one of the Seven Champions of the Golden Tent, Laresh, standing at the entrance of the command center and loudly reprimanding them.
The Twelve Wings and the soldiers all straightened their postures in fear. They had not been very obedient when Duabi was around, but the moment Laresh appeared, they were all scared out of their wits like rabbits.
Pursing his lips, Duabi inwardly mocked himself, 'As expected, the words' Golden Tent 'do have some power. I'm the guildmaster, and I actually dare not go up against the guards of the Golden Tent.
Laresh did not stand on ceremony, pulling over a chair and sitting next to Duabi. "Guildmaster, you should properly instruct these subordinates of yours. Uti has entrusted us with a heavy responsibility, so we mustn't let down our guard. We must repay him with a hundred thousand times the passion."
Duabi was even more dissatisfied. Laresh was clearly teaching his subordinates a lesson, but was that not a slap to his face? He was mocking him for not disciplining them properly and not leading them well!
He mentally said, 'Hmph! Relying on Uti's support, you Seven Champions are so overbearing, not even giving me, the guildmaster, any respect at all! You think I'm not disciplining my subordinates properly? And what have you been doing these past few days? '
Actually, Laresh was considered one of the better Seven Champions. This martial arts fanatic had been training in seclusion ever since he boarded the ship, occasionally coming to the command center to take a stroll and put on airs. As for the fickle Goxuan and Kikiger, they had hooked up with each other the moment they boarded the ship, hiding in their room all day long. Anyone who walked past their room could clearly hear what they were doing inside, and they did not try to hide it at all.
In short, Duabi was sick of these three masters, but he did not dare to show any disrespect on the surface. After all, they were Uti's men, and while their positions were not as high as his, they were still his trusted subordinates.
Duabi squeezed out an ugly smile. "We've been squatting here for more than ten days, so it's normal for the warriors to be a little lax. Don't worry, I'll be stricter with my subordinates in the future."
Laresh nodded and didn't say anything. He was here to put on airs, and now that he was done, he thought about going back to his room to do his own things. The guard Laresh felt that it was a bit degrading to stay with these small soldiers.
At this moment, the radar system suddenly gave off a warning, and the entire command center fell silent. Perhaps because it had been too long since there had been any news, when the radar system detected the strange energy fluctuations coming from the Impaler, no one actually reacted immediately.
"Guildmaster! It's that signal! It's the abnormal energy fluctuations produced by that human's warship warp! "a soldier with a decent brain nervously reported.
Duabi was overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered, "Track his destination! Chase him like this! Don't let him get away!"
…
Yujiang and Yuhua, these two experts, had stealthily boarded the Impaler, which left Xia Fei very depressed.
Originally, Xia Fei had been in such a hurry to leave because he wanted to avoid interacting with these monsters, but he had not expected them to have the ability to travel through space to reach their destination. Xia Fei speculated that this was most likely because they had grasped the Law of Space, and the vast universe was like their home, allowing them to roam freely.
Xia Fei was naturally very envious of this kind of superpower that left others tongue-tied, but right now, he hoped that the other party did not have any ill intentions. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xia Fei did not want to make an enemy out of these monsters.
Yujiang had already inspected Xia Fei and felt that this young man was not bad. He was smart and had no lack of foresight, meeting his selection criteria. It was just that his cultivation was too trashy. After all, Xia Fei's seventh brain region had been severely damaged, and it was obvious that he had put in a lot of hard work and sweat to achieve his current results.
Yujiang nodded slightly, preparing to discuss with Xia Fei about taking him and Furball away.
This was when the Impaler's radar system suddenly flashed with a red alert!
The calm universe was suddenly stirred!
"Alert! A wormhole has opened, and an enemy warship is approaching! Please prepare for battle! "
Soon, a giant insectoid warship passed through the wormhole and appeared less than ten thousand kilometers away from the Impaler! The pitch-black behemoth exuded the malevolence unique to insectoid warships!
Xia Fei did not have time to explain to Yujiang. He quickly went to the control panel and ordered the Impaler to distance itself from the enemy. It was not impossible for the Impaler to destroy an insectoid battleship with its insane firepower, but what surprised Xia Fei the most was how the enemy had found him. Could someone have installed a tracking device on the ship?!
"Direction 11537. Maintain stealth mode and escape at full speed!"
* Whoosh ~ *
The Impaler sped up and escaped, avoiding direct contact with the insectoid warship. The stealth device had a special characteristic: if it got too close to the enemy, the protective layer would lose its effectiveness!
Yujiang did not even spare a glance at the insectoid warship. This thing was nothing more than a toy in his eyes. He smiled at Xia Fei. "Young man, have you ever thought about how high you want to reach in this life?"
Xia Fei was currently worried that a tracking device had been installed on him, so how could he be in the mood to deal with this old monster? Yujiang was an expert who had grasped the Law of Space, and he could easily run tens of thousands of kilometers away, but Xia Fei still had to deal with the endless harassment of the insectoids.
"Let's talk about it later. There's an enemy."
Xia Fei was getting anxious, so he was no longer as polite with his words. Even a fool could tell that he was complaining that Yujiang was interfering with his work.
Xia Fei was a good person, but when it came to work, he did not care about anyone. This kind of seriousness should have been his strong point, but in the eyes of the expert Yujiang, it was somewhat rude.
He furrowed his brows and was about to explode when Furball, who was beside him, seemed to have sensed the change in Yujiang's heart. It opened its eyes and glanced at him, a wary look in its eyes.
Yujiang sighed. For the sake of the rare Holy Beast Shatterstar, he decided to keep his mouth shut.
"Abnormal energy waves detected from the enemy. Presumed to be an explosive weapon!" the cold female voice of the main control computer said.
"Preheat the overload system and calculate the temporary coordinates. Prepare to perform an emergency warp at any time!" Xia Fei anxiously said.
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous …" Yuhua wanted to dissuade Xia Fei. It would not look good for him to be so busy at the control panel, completely ignoring the patriarch Yujiang.
Alas, Xia Fei was the kind of person who would forget everything else when he was working. He was so engrossed in his work that he had long forgotten that there were two experts sitting in the command deck. Without even thinking about it, he directly scolded Yuhua.
"All of you, shut up!" Xia Fei roared.
Yuhua's face was pale, and he was speechless for a good while, his nose crooked from anger.
All of a sudden!
A speck of blue light lit up in the pitch-black space. This speck of light grew larger and larger, covering hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye!
"Warning! The enemy has used a large electromagnetic bomb. The warship will exit stealth in 3.4 seconds. Crew, please be prepared! "
Xia Fei panicked on the spot. An electromagnetic bomb could instantly destroy the warship's stealth system, so it was obvious that the enemy had come prepared!
Yujiang, who was sitting in the captain's seat, was even more vexed than Xia Fei!
Who was Yujiang? He was an existence on an entire plane higher than Xia Fei!
First, Xia Fei ignored him, and now, this shameless insectoid actually dared to throw a bomb at him!
He could not help but be enraged!
