"Stop them! We can't let them get the plane!" The squad leader frantically fired, his face grim. "If necessary, destroy the propulsion system!"

"yes!"

Three pirates rushed toward the fighter jet.

At the same time, the blade of Maoqiu's sword struck them.

*Sizzle*, *plop*!

The pirates who were about to come to reinforce were frightened and retreated, hiding behind the alloy compartment to fire.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around them, and many people felt a chill on their necks and reached out to touch them.

The head slid off.

"There's a stealth attacker!"

Everyone was shocked and stood back to back, staring straight ahead.

To attract attention, the furball deliberately slowed down its attack speed.

The enemy's attention was entirely focused on him.

Xiaoman is in stealth mode and is moving towards the interior of the main ship...

Inside the main ship.

Xiaoman ran wildly and successfully reached the control room.

After deactivating stealth mode, quickly inspecting the fighter jet to ensure there are no problems, and immediately launching it.

The blue flames shooting out from the tail fin instantly burned the pirates at the entrance of the main ship to ashes.

The fluffy ball unleashed two terrifying sword beams with all its might, hurtling towards Xiaoman's location at breakneck speed...

As soon as they entered the fighter jet, they immediately closed the hatch, and the fighter jet shot out like a meteor.

The speed was too fast; the pirates had no time to react. Several seconds later, they shouted, "Quick, intercept them with fighter jets!"

They were some distance from the main ship's helipad.

Having finally arrived, a frantic electronic voice announced: "Self-destruct countdown, 10, 9..."

"Oh my god, run!"

A middle-aged pirate gave a wry smile, "A few seconds, where can you escape to?"

Many people stopped in their tracks, covered their heads, and closed their eyes.

boom!

boom......

The massive explosion engulfed the secondary flagship, and the aftershocks destroyed many fighter jets.

Main ship, main hall.

"Reporting, Commander!" The pirate, his body charred black, swallowed hard. "The vice-captain is gone, and over a hundred fighter jets are gone too, sob sob..."

Wakula nearly fell over, kicking the pirate who brought the message to the ground, and roared, "I don't care what methods you use, if you can't kill them, none of you are to live!"

"Understood!" Several generals left with cold faces.

After everyone left, Wakula collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Years of hard work, all gone, all gone!"

On the other side.

Xiaoman and Maoqiu have arrived at the edge of the no-man's-land, where meteorites are as numerous as hairs on a cow, stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Sis, you rest for a bit, I'll drive!"

"good!"

Xiaoman reclined in the chair, her eyelids slowly closing, and she quickly drifted off to sleep...

Shortly after, the fighter jet suddenly started to shake, and Xiaoman woke up with a start, asking, "What's going on?"

"The Hurricane Pirates are coming!" Maoqiu frowned slightly as he piloted his fighter jet through the meteorites.

How many people?

"About thirty fighter jets!"

Xiaoman's face darkened. She surveyed the surrounding terrain and pointed to the large meteorite cluster at the seven o'clock position. "Charge in, and move in an 'S' shape."

"clear!"

The fighter jets kept changing direction.

The pursuing enemy plane was caught off guard and crashed into the meteorite, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft and the loss of life.

After losing three fighter planes, the pirates no longer dared to pursue at full speed and followed from a distance.

"Hmph!" Xiaoman smirked. "Turn around and take them down!"

With a broad smile, the fluffy ball turned sharply.

Whoosh!

boom......

Two fighter jets exploded, and the aftershocks took away another nearby fighter jet.

In a brief exchange, the pirates lost six fighter planes. The survivors were filled with fear and immediately activated their protective shields.

With the added protection, the fear in my heart quickly faded.

"Trying to surround us?" Xiaoman sneered, reclaiming control of the driver's seat and diving downwards.

The two enemy pilots were immediately dumbfounded.

"Should we pursue them or not?" asked the enemy mech.

"Chase!" Enemy aircraft B.

After the dive, Xiaoman's shadow was still there, and the two men frowned.

Suddenly, Xiaoman burst out from the reverse slope of the meteorite.

Whoosh! Boom!

Piloting his fighter jet, he burst out of the flames, shouting, "Twenty left!"

"Sister, you're awesome!" Maoqiu gave a thumbs up.

"Stop being so cheeky!" Xiaoman smiled. "Watch the enemy's movements on both flanks. Let's strike them from under the guise of a trap!"

The fighter jet rapidly climbed to altitude...

Pirates, command ship.

"Let them in!" The captain squinted. "Wolf pack tactics!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The fighter jets on both wings immediately dispersed.

Xiaoman and Maoqiu frowned immediately, "Be careful!"

The two cautiously entered the center of the enemy planes. Just as they were about to accelerate, enemy planes appeared behind them, blocking their retreat.

Xiaoman's heart immediately relaxed, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. "You think you can keep us here with a pack of wolves? Dream on!"

The fighter jet rotates, and the two lasers intersect.

Swoosh! Boom!

An enemy plane was destroyed, and the shockwave from the explosion forced nearby enemy planes to retreat.

But Maoqiu accelerated and charged in, shouting, "Sis, I'll strangle you, you dodge!"

"no problem!"

The fighter jets surged forward in space in a waltz-like motion, continuously firing lasers.

Boom! Boom!

"Your skills are getting better and better! You took down three enemy planes in one go!" Xiaoman nodded. "Keep forging ahead and create new glories!"

The fluffy ball nodded, controlling the laser cannon with even greater precision.

Soon, the enemy was terrified.

"Damn it!" The captain clenched his fists, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Mutual destruction tactic!"

The pirates did not carry out the order immediately after receiving it.

"Captain, should we wait a bit?" Squad leader A asked, his face filled with fear.

Squad leader B, his face full of contempt, cursed: "You son of a bitch, you're the one who gets to go first? Fine, I'll go first!"

Suppressing his anger, the captain roared, "If you don't want your family to be implicated, then run it over!"

Left with no other choice, everyone had to comply.

With their reckless fighting tactics, Xiaoman and Maoqiu could no longer gain the upper hand.

"If we keep playing like this, we'll be done for sooner or later!" Maoqiu took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

The battle intensified, and they couldn't calm down at all.

Suddenly, the fighter jet's left wing was grazed by a laser, resulting in a significant loss of power.

More than a dozen enemy planes came from multiple directions.

Despair flashed in Xiaoman's eyes, and she gave a bitter smile, "It seems I'm going to die here today!"

"Even if I die, I'll take them with me!" Maoqiu stared intently at the enemy plane, his finger resting on the 'Super Weapon' button.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the right flank was hit again.

"Are you ready to set off together?" Xiaoman asked calmly.

"Ready!" Cold sweat rolled down Maoqiu's temples.

Just as I was about to press the 'super weapon' button, the enemy plane suddenly turned and fled in all directions.

"What's going on?" Maoqiu asked, completely bewildered.

Xiaoman shook her head.

The main display lit up, showing a burly bear-man: "You are surrounded by the Crimson Mercury Guard. Immediately shut down your engines and submit to inspection. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

The screen disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a light so bright it was blinding flashed by.

Once his vision returned, Maoqiu witnessed a scene he would never forget: the pirates' warplanes exploded en masse, leaving not a speck of dust behind.

Xiaoman was the first to react and quickly shouted into the public channel: "My ship is severely damaged, requesting ejection, requesting ejection!"

"Ejection permitted! Ejection permitted!"

"Furry, let's go!"

He finally snapped out of his daze and quickly caught up...

A few minutes later, the escort fleet's main ship arrived.

Xiaoman and Maoqiu were taken to the interrogation room by soldiers, surrounded by three layers of fully armed soldiers.

"Race, name, what are you doing on Crimson Mercury?" the interrogator asked coldly.

"You have no authority to interrogate me!" Xiaoman stared intently at him. "Summon your highest-ranking officer to see me!"

The soldiers escorting them raised their rifle butts, ready to smash them.

"stop!"

A slender, curvaceous fox-human beauty walked towards us.

"Madam!" The crowd bowed respectfully.

The beautiful woman glanced at Xiaoman and Maoqiu, then smiled slightly. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Fox Fairy, wife of the guard captain, Xiong Gang. And you two?"

Xiaoman looked around and gestured with her eyes: Too many people, too much noise.

Fox Fairy shook her head, "These are all my trusted confidants, so please speak freely!"

Xiaoman slowly took out a token from her bosom.

"What... what is this?"

"If I remember correctly, this thing should be the late king's token!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the token.

Suddenly, Fox Fairy knelt down, placing her right hand on her heart, and said, "Crimson Mercury Strategist greets the Grand Princess!"

"Your subordinate greets the Grand Princess!"

Xiaoman's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. "Please rise, please rise! This trip is related to the future of the Crimson Starfield, and I must see Storm as soon as possible!"

"I'll take you there immediately!" Fox Fairy turned around and ordered, "Return to Crimson Mercury immediately, at top speed!"

"yes!"

......

Blue Star, Lop Nur, a mysterious space, inside a cave.

"Ding! Crimson Gold Treasure Chest* Modified, successfully opened, obtained: Death Pulse Production Technology, Short-Range Small Wormhole Opening Technology, Light Weapon Transport Technology (Spatial Transport)."

Li Tianyi suddenly woke up and burst into laughter like a pig.

"Stop fooling around!" Jia Qingxue mumbled in her sleep.

Li Tianyi quickly covered his mouth and tiptoed away.

Only after confirming that Jia Qingxue couldn't hear him did he release his grip and burst into wild laughter...

After a long while, Li Tianyi finally returned to normal, flipping through three sets of research materials. "With these things, China will no longer be at a disadvantage." His eyes sharpened as he stared at the sky. "Alien scum, your doomsday is coming!"

Closing the file, images of his passionate encounter with Jia Qingxue flashed through his mind, and a deep sense of regret crossed his eyes. He gave a bitter smile, "She's so unrestrained, who would have thought she's still a virgin? Sigh!"

From the far distance, sighs could also be heard.

Li Tianyi frowned slightly, gripped the laser gun tightly, and walked towards the cave entrance.

The closer they got, the louder the sighs became.

Looking around, I saw no living creatures.

"This place is really strange!"

Using internal energy to probe, I still found nothing. "Forget it, I'd better go back and guard Qingxue!"

As soon as I turned around, I heard a series of sighs behind me.

This time I heard it clearly; it was coming from the direction I was facing away from.

March forward with great strides.

Finally, they arrived at the location from which the sound came. In front of them was a bottomless pit, pitch black.

"Help, help me, help me..."

The voice was faint, yet somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Li Tianyi thought of something, channeled his inner energy, and called out, "Sima Qing'er, Sima Qing'er!"

"Who's calling me?" The voice sounded confused.

Li Tian was overjoyed and summoned his space surfboard and night vision goggles, then plunged down.

Ten minutes or so passed, and there was still no end in sight. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he thought, "This place is too strange; I must be careful!"

Maintaining a constant speed...

A few minutes later, the space surfboard suddenly lost power and plummeted.

Li Tianyi was panicking and frantically searched his surroundings...
