Neither Czedow nor Huimao touched the control panel, but the spaceplane started on its own. Every button, every button, and every command was being input in an orderly fashion.
It was the result of Huimao's control.
Just now, Huimao suddenly felt a great sense of oppression and panic. It had nothing to do with itself. The cause of this sudden emotion wasn't here. It knew that something had happened to Silin.
Wheeze didn't like to think, but once it did, it would notice that Cillin had been behaving strangely during this period of time. When it recalled the conversation it had with Cillin not too long ago, Wheeze was very regretful right now. Why didn't it leave with Cillin? Why did it build this stupid cannon instead!?
Czedow sensed Huimao's abnormality and learned the reason why Huimao was behaving like this through the communication method unique to machines. That was why he decided to go with Huimao without hesitation.
Although Huimao wanted to destroy the invading starship as much as he could, he was in a hurry to find Silin. Never mind, I'll let these bastards go for now.
Under the watchful eyes of the Sixth Division and the invading starship, Huimao's spaceplane left the planet in no time at all. In fact, it didn't even bother to look at the invading starship.
"Something must've happened to Silin. That cat and Silin are connected," Dias said worriedly.
"Then send some reinforcements right away. The remaining people on the starship should be enough to deal with it." Shotton turned around and went to make the necessary arrangements.
On a planet with a B-grade habitability.
Celine's situation was very bad, very bad.
Oskulos had thrown him to the ground twice, and his bones were about to fall apart. Several of his joints were crushed, and he couldn't even fight right now.
There were several cuts on Silin's arms near his arteries, and blood was pouring out of them.
Cillin didn't say that he would give Oskulos Aurillo's star map fragment and ask him to spare his life. There was another reason Oskulos wouldn't spare Cillin's life, not to mention that Cillin wasn't the kind of person Oskulos was.
Oskulos had no intention of asking Silin where Olillo's star map fragment was. As soon as Silin died, the fragment would sense it, so Oskulos was just enjoying the pleasure of torturing someone.
Oskulos was a madman. He had killed countless people, and most of them weren't because of hatred. Those people died very miserably. They were all tortured to death.
Silin had never understood why people like Oskulos, such as the other Five-Star Hunters, the few in the military, or the political organizations in the Alliance, didn't do anything about it. After all, a person like Oskulos was too dangerous. He didn't care who you were from the military or the Big Four. Anyone who ran into him was doomed. No one could guarantee that something like this wouldn't happen to one of their own, let alone a ticking time bomb like him.
That was why Silin and Czedow had worked together to hack into some databases. They hacked into the databases of the military and the Big Four, as well as the core databases of other important organizations. Although they didn't get any direct information, Silin came to a conclusion based on the bits and pieces of information they got.
There were some violent organizations behind Oskulos. Of course, to Oskulow, those groups were just tools that he could do without. He was still a self-centered, maverick man. He had no friends, no allies, and only a bunch of violent people who weren't even loyal to him.
Then, it was these violent groups that posed a huge hidden danger and threat to the entire Alliance. After all, there were far too many such violent groups in the Alliance, and peace wouldn't cover every part of GAL. There were even more places like the war-torn planets at Sector V that existed in the Alliance. That being said, there were plenty of times when the military and politicians would negotiate with Oskulos to keep these violent organizations in check. It was a balance.
Just as Gadar had said, a Star Rank Hunter wasn't just about personal strength. It was also about their influence. Every Star Rank Hunter was incredibly influential, even Oskulos who was known as the most unique Star Rank Hunter.
Oskulos licked his knife, but there wasn't any blood on it. The knife wasn't stained with blood, and the droplets of blood would drip down the blade on their own.
"I heard that you're the one who killed that Little Skeleton."
Little Skeleton?
Silin's pupils shrank abruptly.
Skeleton King Caragno?!
"You remember now?" Oskulos moved his fingers, and a new wound appeared on Cillin's thigh. It was another wound that was bleeding.
"I was hoping that the Little Skeleton would make some noise, but you killed it before it could," Oskulos said as if he were talking about a pet he used to have.
Silin couldn't see any hatred or resentment in Oskulos's eyes. There was only a tiny bit of regret. It was regret that Silin killed Caragno too early. It was regret like a pig that was thrown into a pot before it was fully fed.
"You want to cough … avenge him?" Silin coughed out a bit of blood and said.
"Avenge?" Oskulos flicked his knife carelessly, and the tip of the knife left a new bone-deep wound on Silin's leg.
Right now, every time Oskulos made a cut on Silin's leg, Silin would scream in pain. Oskulos was very satisfied with the sound.
"Does he have the right? He's just a useless piece of trash. "
Back when Caragno wasn't Skeleton King yet, Poison Fang didn't exist in the world, and Caragno ran into Oskulos when Poison Fang wasn't a violent organization in Sector V yet.
However, Oskulos was in a good mood at the time, and he noticed that Caragno's bloodline was a little special. Not only did he spare Caragno's life, he even strengthened Caragno's constitution and told Caragno that Oskulos would punish Caragno if he couldn't take down that area in a year's time.
After that, Oskulos left the area. He wasn't the kind of person who would stay for any force or organization in the first place, so he went off to find his own fun. A year later, Poison Fang ruled over that area, united the violent organizations in the area, and killed all who refused to obey them. They became a new rising force.
That was the birth of the Skeleton King, Caragno.
At the time, Silin discovered traces of artificial "carving" on Caragno's body, but he never found a clue as to why. Oskulos was the one who did it.
Oskulos thrust his blade into Cillin's abdomen while saying this. Then, he slowly pulled the blade out of Cillin's body and stared at the blood dripping off the blade. The blade turned completely bloodless once more.
Silin let out a loud cry and started convulsing all over his body. Right now, Silin's body was covered in dozens of cuts of various sizes, and the ground was covered in blood. Although the blood loss and wounds weren't enough to kill him, it was still excruciating.
So, he's going to be disemboweled soon, isn't he?
Oskulos seemed to think that this was fun, so he stabbed Qin Lie a few more times.
Poke, poke.
But when Oskulos stabbed Qin Lie again, Silin's body twitched a little, and Oskulos's blade hit Silin's navel.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, flying needles that looked like chick feathers suddenly shot out of Silin's navel and headed straight for Oskulos.
Oskulos jumped back and swung his blade to block the needles.
While Oskulos was swinging his blade to block the needles, metal bands emerged from Silin's body and wrapped around Silin. Then, a tablet unfurled on Silin's back, lifted Silin, and flew away at high speed.
Cillin had spent a lot of extremely rare materials and a huge amount of brainpower to create this device. The advantage of these two devices was that they could catch the enemy off guard. Otherwise, they would be completely useless if the enemy noticed and took precautions against them.
Cillin had been waiting for an opportunity all this time. Judging from the information he received from Gada, Oskulos would not only bleed a person, but also disemboweled them. He wouldn't kill them in one go. That was why Silin had set up the needle device on Qin Lie's abdomen.
With Oskulos's abilities, Silin wouldn't be able to activate the device with his weak telekinesis, nor would he have the chance to activate it manually. Therefore, it would be best if Oskulos activated the device himself.
Cillin's painful wails and spasms were just a ploy to numb Oskulos. Plus, Cillin was nothing in Oskulos' eyes. Plus, Cillin's joints were crushed by Oskulos, and Cillin was cut so many times. That was why Oskulos was a bit careless at the time.
When the knife went down, Silin pretended to be panicked and in pain, so that the tip of Oskulos' blade could just touch the device's mechanism.
The most important thing for a person was to know their own limits.
Silin knew that he would be caught by Oskulos. If he wanted to attack this Star Hunter, he had to get very close to him to have a real chance of injuring him. Given Oskulos's way of doing things, he wouldn't let his guard down unless he was allowed to stab him.
Moreover, Silin was sure that Oskulos wouldn't stab Silin's vital organs. He wouldn't even hurt his internal organs. It would only make Silin bleed a little more. After all, Oskulos's hobby was to torture people.
The reason Cillin endured the cuts was to lower Oskulos's guard as much as possible. He ordered Oskulos to slash him a few more times while calculating the best time to act.
Every part of this series of actions had been carefully calculated by Cillin, and he had rehearsed it many times in his mind.
The metal plate quickly carried Silin away from Oskulos. Oskulos, who had blocked the flying needles, looked at the holes on the ground and the edges of his clothes that had been corroded by the flying needles. With a flick of his wrist, he swung the knife twice in the air, shaking off the corrosive smell. Then, with a wave of his hand, a hoverboard flew to Oskulos's feet.
Oskulos hopped on the hoverboard and chased after Silin.
While Celine was being carried away, he did not stay idle. Instead, he looked at the surrounding terrain and environment. When he saw a forest, his eyes lit up with joy. That place was not far from the place he had expected.
Silin took something out of his ring and tossed it into the air. Then, he put on his protective mask.
When the thing flew into the air … There was a loud explosion.
For a moment, a hundred thousand square kilometers of the sky was covered in smoke. It created a heavy smog that severely affected vision.
Oskulos, who was chasing after him, didn't expect Silin to do something like this. Although he had encountered some small fries who threw smoke bombs before, Cillin's' smoke bomb 'was a little too big, wasn't it?
If one looked from outside the planet, the entire area would be covered in smoke.
It was too big for Oskulos to disperse in a short amount of time.
Fortunately, Oskulos stopped and used his mind to sense the situation around him. The kid had hidden his presence very well. Oskulos couldn't sense Silin's exact location even after he was a certain distance away.
He looked at the scanner. It was obviously affected by the smog. Even though he didn't know how the kid had created a smog weapon like this, he had to admit that the kid had some skill. Not only did he have so many traps, but he also had such a big trick up his sleeve.
Oskulos wasn't angry. Instead, he was excited.
Interesting. He liked hunting like this. It was too boring to kill in one go. It was more fun with some twists and turns.
After throwing out the smoke grenade, Cillin threw out a few more small cans before it landed at the predicted spot. The jars broke open as soon as they hit the ground, and the contents melted into the ground.
Be it the flying needles, the smoke bomb, or the small jars, they were all tools that Silin had researched to save his life based on the information he had gathered about Oskulos's style. It turned out that these methods were indeed useful. However, he would have to pay a price. Some blood and broken bones were nothing compared to losing his life.
The location that Silin had chosen was not a safe place. Instead, it was one of the most dangerous places on the planet. That was because there was a dangerous species in the forest — lizards.
In this jungle area, there lived some big guys that were more than five meters long and weighed more than 200 kilograms. They were definitely at the top of the food chain here, and they were the largest poisonous animals of this generation. Even giant pythons had to take a detour when they saw them.
Despite their small size, they were ferocious when they pounced on their prey. They could run very fast too.
These lizards had strong necks and sharp teeth, which allowed them to attack fiercely. Their skin was hard and rough, and there were many bumps on their bodies. There were spikes on their backs, dark brown scales, and huge, sharp teeth in their mouths. These violent, ugly, cold-blooded creatures would make anyone who saw them shudder.
However, Silin was very excited when he saw them. Fortunately, they did not all run away today. There were quite a lot of lizards around the nest.
When he saw the mountain behind the big guys, Silin knew that he had arrived at his destination.
However, a giant lizard like this wasn't something Cillin could rely on. It was nothing more than a common prey for Oskulos, and he could come and go as he pleased even if it was an entire lizard nest.
Therefore, Silin would add something special to them.
Silin used all his energy to heal one of his arms. Now, it could hold a gun steadily.
Cillin took out a modified gun and controlled the direction of the metal plate. At the same time, the gun in his hand also fired multiple shots.
The first shot hit the side of a lizard's mouth. The bullet exploded into pieces when it hit its thick skin. Some liquid flowed out of the broken bullet.
The lizard growled angrily when it sensed that it had been attacked.
Their cries were very hoarse and sounded very strange, giving people a creepy feeling.
Silin's shot had missed. The wound on his arm still affected him, but he quickly adjusted. The second bullet went straight into the lizard's mouth as it screamed.
When one lizard screamed angrily, the other lizards opened their mouths to scream as well. This was communication between them.
Silin's next few shots went straight into the mouths of the screaming lizards. However, there were two that Silin could not find a chance to shoot at.
The Giant Iguanas hissed as they chased after Cillin. In reality, some of the Giant Iguanas did not need to crawl over. They only needed to stand guard, and Cillin would go over. This was because Cillin's target was the cave, the Giant Iguana's nest.
At the entrance of the cave, there were six or seven lizards lying there. They looked at Silin with cold and ferocious eyes, and their tongues flicked from time to time.
Silin controlled the direction of the metal plate to avoid the lizards' big claws. If he was hit by those big claws, Silin would definitely die on the spot.
A big claw grabbed over, and Silin controlled the metal plate to dodge. The big claw only grabbed the edge of the metal plate, leaving a mark.
Silin had analyzed the attack power of these big guys' claws. They were quite powerful, which was also one of the reasons he chose these lizards.
Feeling the stench from the lizard's mouth, Silin fired while controlling the metal plate to fly into the lizard's nest through the gap between the two lizards at the cave entrance.
After entering, Silin immediately sprayed some potions on himself. These potions could conceal his scent, which was very similar to the surrounding lizards. At the same time, Silin pressed a button on the metal plate. Then, Silin, along with the metal plate, gradually disappeared.
Of course, he wasn't actually vanishing. He was just turning invisible and distorting the air around him to confuse his vision. Moreover, he had lowered his body temperature to match his surroundings. This way, it didn't matter if the lizards were looking at him through heat or light reflection, they wouldn't be able to detect him easily.
The wound had already been sealed with a liquid spray film, so the blood would not flow out again. Therefore, Cillin, who had already treated the wound, stayed quietly inside the lizard's nest. He watched the giant lizard run inside angrily, then crawl out again. He breathed carefully through his mask. Sometimes, even the slightest abnormal breathing could alert these big guys.
Pa la!
Pa la pa la!
The sound of raindrops hitting the leaves could be heard outside.
This sound was like the sound of nature to Silin.
The rain of this generation had always been unpredictable and unpredictable. It came and went abruptly. But now, Celine looked at the falling rain outside and the corner of her lips curled into a smile.
Although he had calculated that it would rain every day in this area, he could not calculate the time of day.
Timely rain!
