Zhu Long didn't have a good impression of Tan Xiu ever since he first met Tan Xiu. On one hand, it was because he didn't understand this guy who was forcibly inserted into the team, and on the other hand, Tan Xiu wasn't an ability user. He thought that Tan Xiu was just an ordinary person who would become a burden to them once they encountered danger and fought with the enemy. Therefore, he didn't give Tan Xiu any face along the way.
But …
Tan Xiu's performance at this moment was so strong that it made his heart tremble. How was this a little bit stronger? A little bit faster? It was as if a big bad wolf had appeared in a flock of sheep. It could not be any more ferocious.
Suddenly, Zhulong felt his cheeks burning. It was as though a pair of invisible slaps had slapped him left and right, then right and then left. With a guilty conscience, he secretly glanced at Firedevil and Electrolady at this moment and found that they were also shocked. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. But just as he was about to retract his gaze, he keenly noticed that Aquababe was looking at him with a strange expression. For a moment, Zhu Long wished he could find a hole to burrow into. He really didn't have the face to see anyone.
To cover up his embarrassment, Zhu Long said in a strange voice, "Let's go. Let's do it together. No matter how strong Tan Xiu is, we're comrades on the same team."
As his voice faded away, his clothes fluttered without any wind and he instantly dashed toward the battlefield. Aquababe followed closely behind him and cast her water attribute special ability. Layers of water waves surged in the air and whizzed forward. Meanwhile, Firedevil and Electrolady had also recovered from the shock. Both of them released flames and lightning respectively and sprinted quickly with great momentum.
"Annihilate!"
The four of them were very strong. Although they weren't the strongest among the members who participated in the three-star vestige exploration, they were still among the best. With their attacks, the heavily injured Moravidel was easily killed and the other two were also killed in a short time.
At this moment …
Kuwako's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration as she looked at Tan Xiu. Cheng Xuemei, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the high school student who needed her help would possess such terrifying strength. This time, she was ordered to infiltrate the island nation because her ability was activated and she was heavily injured during a mission. After receiving treatment and careful guidance from Duanmu Lin, the leader of the State Ability Users Bureau, he finally gained the ability to control thick earth. For a secret mission, he hid his identity, changed his appearance, and finally became the right-hand man of a high-level politician in Japan.
She and Kuwako Yamamoto were not on the same side because the Japanese politician she assisted was at odds with the party supported by the Yamamoto Family. If they weren't on the same team, perhaps Kuwako wouldn't have saved her life in the previous battle.
However …
She was very clear about one thing. If she met someone from the Kingdom of Hua Xia in the ruins and was in danger, even if it meant exposing her identity, she had to help. It was because she knew that if the treasures in the three-star vestige were to be obtained by the Kingdom of Hua Xia, it would be very beneficial for them.
Tan Xiu didn't even glance at Kuwako and Cheng Xuemei. Instead, he looked at Jaycee, the captain of Country Y's team, and indifferently said, "Give me the crystal ball."
With a solemn expression, Jaycee looked at Tan Xiu and coldly said, "You're very powerful, and I can't even see what ability you have. But do you think we're afraid of you? "
"Maybe you won't be afraid if it's just us," said Tan Xiu indifferently. "But if we join forces with the three of them, what do you think your chances of surviving are?"
Kuwako instantly stepped forward and glared at Jaycee with hostility. "That's right. We're destined to be enemies, so we're willing to join forces with our friends from Hua Xia. Even if we all die here, we'll drag you down with us. "
Jaycee's expression instantly turned extremely unsightly. He looked at the crystal ball protected by them in the middle, and then shifted his eyes to Tan Xiu and Kuwako. Eventually, he discussed with his four companions in a low voice and quickly moved away more than 20 meters.
Sneering, Tan Xiu came to the front of the crystal ball and found that it was fixed on the one-meter-high crystal pillar. He immediately reached out to hold it and was about to take it off the pillar. However, his expression changed when he saw that the crystal ball remained motionless even though he had used nearly 80% of his strength.
Standing more than 20 meters away, Jaycee sneered and said, "We've just tried, but there's no way to take the crystal ball off the pillar. So what if you're a bit stronger? We'll give it to you, but you won't get anything. Hahaha … "
Tan Xiu shot him a cold look and immediately injected his spiritual sense into the crystal ball. He found that there was a very small seal array inside. He directly saw through the mysteries of this seal array and smoothly broke through it. Then, he moved toward the fingernail-sized golden insect inside.
"Let me out and I'll serve you for a lightyear."
Its weak intent entangled with Tan Xiu's spiritual sense and instantly transmitted back to Tan Xiu.
Tan Xiu quickly communicated with it using his thoughts, "What species are you? What abilities do you have? Why should I believe you? "
"I'm a member of the Star Devourer Insect Clan. I was sealed in this crystal ball by a powerful Exalted Immortal. That Exalted Immortal bullied me because I'm still young and have just obtained my bloodline inheritance, so I haven't mastered any formidable power yet. As long as you let me out, I'll have a way to possess a very powerful ability in a short period of time. Serving you for a lightyear is the rule of our Star Devourer Insect Clan to thank our benefactor. "
"I don't lack thugs."
Tan Xiu directly transmitted his thoughts.
The golden Star Devourer Insect was anxious. It had been sealed for countless years, and it didn't even know how long it had been. Now that it had finally met a human who could break the seal and let it escape, if it didn't seize this opportunity, it would be tortured to madness inside.
"What do you need? No matter what request you have, I can try my best to satisfy you. "
"Tell me, where are you from? Also, which civilization in the universe does this three-star relic belong to? How did they come to Earth? "
"I'm from the Black Cloud Star Field, the Porto Star System. That's the incubation base of our Star Devourer Insect Clan and also my hometown. There are many races in the Black Cloud Star System, including many advanced civilizations. The fleet that brought me here was the Star Luo Empire's fleet. They were defeated by other civilized nations and became an interstellar vagrant race. After escaping here, the few remaining Star Luo Empire lives hurriedly built this base. They thought they would get a new home, but they didn't expect to be trapped here because they couldn't adapt to Earth's environment. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood, but he still realized a problem and hurriedly asked, "How long have you been on Earth?"
"A wave."
"What's a wave?"
"It's …"
The Star Devourer Insect was anxious. It didn't know the unit of time in this place and wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain. It anxiously circled around countless times and finally sent a thought, "Nearly an eon."
Eon?
1.3 million years?
Tan Xiu was referring to the unit of time because some races in the Immortal World used eon as a unit of time. However, he never imagined that the Star Luo Empire's battleship would actually come to Earth more than a million years ago. At that time, there shouldn't be any humans on Earth, right?
"I can save you, but you have to sign a contract with me. Also, I need to know how long you're talking about a light-year. By the way, our human unit of time is … "
Through Tan Xiu's explanation, the Star Devourer Insect finally figured out the unit of time on Earth. The light-year it was talking about was actually 2,000 years on Earth.
Master-servant contract.
Tan Xiu quickly signed the contract with the Star Devourer Insect. The seal formation inside, which he thought was extremely crude, was easily broken by him. As cracks appeared on the crystal ball, the Star Devourer Insect finally rushed out after the crystal ball exploded. It flew happily in this space for a while before landing on Tan Xiu's outstretched finger.
"You'll follow me from now on!"
Tan Xiu said calmly.
More than 20 meters away, Jaycee looked at the Star Devourer Insect on Tan Xiu's finger with his mouth agape. Even when the crystal ball exploded, he didn't feel the slightest joy. Instead, a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart when he looked at the Star Devourer Insect. Because he realized that the existence in the crystal ball was this Star Devourer Insect, and this Star Devourer Insect had already been obtained by Tan Xiu.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Tan Xiu took the Star Devourer Insect into his body and let it live on his left finger, three figures rushed in from another passage.
"ELS people?"
Everyone's expression shifted and their eyes instantly locked on them.
The three ELS people's complexion drastically changed upon seeing the corpses on the ground. They vigilantly kept a distance from Tan Xiu's group, as well as the people from Country Y. The bearded leader indifferently said, "If my guess is correct, the members of D, YDL, and BX countries should all be dead, right?"
"Yeah, they're all dead," sneered Jaycee.
"Did you kill them?" asked the bearded man.
Jaycee glanced at Tan Xiu and sneered. "How could we have the ability to kill them? They killed each other and eventually perished together."
Kuwako also glanced at Tan Xiu and said, "Yeah, they did perish together."
The bearded man didn't believe Jaycee and Kuwako's words, but he didn't want to ask anymore at the moment. What he needed to do now was to protect himself and the others while facing the three forces inside.
Tan Xiu didn't want to waste any more time here, so he slowly said, "Everyone, since there's no need for us to fight each other, I think we should go our separate ways. There are many good things in this vestige, and it's impossible for any party to monopolize them. There are a total of 12 entrances here, so each of us can choose one. "
"No problem," said Jaycee straightforwardly.
Kuwako naturally wouldn't refute Tan Xiu, so she nodded in agreement.
As for the ELS trio, they were already thankful that they weren't besieged by the people from China, Country Y, and Japan, so they naturally had no objection.
