Chapter 1689 Falling into a passive position?
Seeing that Yongye planned to return to Earth with everyone, Pan Xiaoxiao's slightly relaxed nerves tightened again.
Although according to Lu Li's plan of remaining unchanged in the face of all changes, she really didn't need to do anything at this moment, and could just follow along.
But is Earth really ready now?
It's important to understand that Earth is currently completely enveloped by the 'plunder' effect of the [Immortal Soul Box].
The entire planet is considered a permanent expansion of the Black Mist Realm!
Soul soldiers, soul guards, soul generals, and soul kings can all move freely on Earth without any restrictions.
Even if Eternal Night doesn't go to Earth, the summoned creatures formed from black mist will still obey the Lin family and diligently carry out their guard duties.
After Eternal Night leaves and forcibly takes control of these summoned creatures, will Earth's defenses remain the same?
It is estimated that most of the fighting forces will abandon the light and join the dark side!
At that time, the situation may fall into a completely passive position!
Remain unchanged amidst constant change...
Can they really handle it?
"The matter has indeed been taken care of, Manager Pan, let's go back."
Just as Pan Xiaoxiao was struggling with her thoughts, she suddenly heard a voice that surprised her.
It is Gobelin Kurgon.
[Extreme Thinking] was activated silently, quickly calming Pan Xiaoxiao's emotions and putting her into a state of completely rational thinking.
Based on the description given by the 'introducer', King of the Winds, and her various actions after meeting Kurgon, Pan Xiaoxiao can conclude that this Goberin and the tribe behind him are not simple.
He alone could fight Li Luo to a draw without using his authority.
Moreover, the emperor of the Gobelin tribe had close ties with Lu Li...
If this force intervenes successfully, it might be able to create a new check on Eternal Night.
Let's just take it one step at a time and see!
Having made up her mind, Pan Xiaoxiao immediately spoke up:
"Since Mr. Kurgun has said so, let's head back home."
"The inter-star system teleportation array is over there. Please follow me."
After saying that, she took the lead and started walking along the path towards the outside of the rocky hill.
Before she could take two steps, a large amount of black mist suddenly appeared in the corner of her vision!
They seemed to have a life of their own, quickly enveloping all the players present.
At the same time, Yongye's sinister voice sounded from behind:
"There's no need to take that unnecessary detour, I'll take you back..."
The other end.
Storm Star Region.
Palu star belt.
Above a certain trading star.
"Our Lady—we're here—!!"
Wearing a triangular captain's hat, with long braided hair and smoky eye makeup, Nikita, dressed as an 18th-century pirate, leaned against the lookout tower at the very top of the black-sailed pirate ship, holding onto a rope, and shouted loudly at the figure in front of him.
The dangerous stunts that made people's hearts pound did not cause concern among the 'crew' below, but instead drew a small amount of criticism.
Lin Shi, who had been 'voluntarily' dressed in a blue and white striped sailor uniform, held the helm and steadily steered the large ship forward at high speed, muttering to himself:
"Shouldn't steering the boat be the captain's job? Why am I, a 'sailor,' doing it?"
"Speaking of which, whether from the perspective of playing a role or from the perspective of innate ability, the one who should be standing on the lookout tower and shouting should be me, right..."
"You should be content." Lin Cheng, whose head was wrapped in a red headscarf, grinned, his expression clearly showing a great deal of helplessness.
"At least Nikita only lets you play the role of a physically able sailor."
"I'm in a terrible situation. I'm practically a 'disabled person.' I have to wear this pirate eye patch, and later I'll have to use my special ability to materialize hooks and wooden legs..."
"If a fight breaks out later, using only one eye will really affect my distance judgment..."
Lin Shi glanced back at Lin Cheng and saw that the other was constantly adjusting the eye patch over his right eye. He couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight.
"You know what, it actually looks pretty convincing."
"As for affecting distance judgment, our task is to guard the ship, so we shouldn't need to go down and fight. If it really comes down to it, you can just take off your blindfold during the battle."
“That makes sense…” Lin Cheng was taken aback, then nodded in deep agreement.
At Nikita's shouts, the large black-sailed ship quickly approached Xu Xiao's location.
Upon seeing the other person board the deck, Nikita eagerly slid down the rope from the lookout tower and asked three questions in quick succession.
"What's the situation? Have you found the child? Should we just bombard him with artillery fire?"
Xu Xiao's expression was complicated, and for a moment she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Seeing that Xu Xiao remained silent, Nikita assumed that the other party was bothered by his unannounced follow, so he immediately switched to a playful and conciliatory tone, and took the initiative to concede:
"Oh, I admit, I spoke without thinking before. You, the Holy Mother, are so broad-minded and tolerant, so please don't dwell on such a small matter..."
Seeing that Nikita had misunderstood, Xu Xiao quickly explained:
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"That's not what I meant, that's fine." Nikita chuckled and said eagerly:
"So what happened to that Palu child? Is the slave trade group refusing to release him?"
“It’s not that we’re unwilling to release them…” Xu Xiao’s complex expression deepened, and his overall mood was very somber.
“We just contacted Shi Bashi, the second-in-command of the slave group. He said that Shi Aotian is not in their area and that we should go to the main trading planet where Shi Aotian is located to ask him.”
Nikita froze for two seconds, then uttered a curse.
"Suka, are you trying to pass the buck?"
"Isn't the slave group a unified entity? Isn't Shi Bashi Shi Aotian's younger brother?"
"We're all in cahoots, why are you pretending not to know each other?"
"Holy Mother, you are too honest, that's why you are easily fooled and played like a fool!"
"Trust me, this scum will spill all the truth after just a couple of shots!"
As he spoke, Nikita had already turned and walked toward the stern of the ship.
It seems he intends to personally take control of the ship and head towards the ground target.
As he walked, he gave orders to the 'crew':
"Bring out all the ship's cannons! They must be ready to fire at any moment!"
"Move all the bombs stored in the hold onto the deck, ready to be dropped!"
"I... no, I, the captain, am going to blow this garbage place to smithereens!!"
"Nikita, wait a minute..." Xu Xiao quickly interjected, trying to dissuade him.
“I also know that the slave groups may be hiding the truth.”
"But what we should be doing now is negotiating. Blindly using force could harm innocent people!"
"Innocent? Those slave traders are innocent as chickens!" Nikita responded to Xu Xiao verbally, but his steps never faltered.
"I think they deserved to die!"
"Fine wine in a luminous cup, I'll send these bastards flying, along with their hiding places!!"
