Chapter 17 The fight started. Muas's initial plan was steady and cautious,...

Muas's initial plan was to proceed steadily, first exploring the celebrity thieves' lair, getting a general understanding of the situation, and then targeting them.

But Lin Xi felt that the situation was volatile and it was easy to alert the enemy, which would not be worth the risk. So he was willing to be the bait and take the risk.

Parker and Sander both disagreed, but Lin Xi insisted on doing so and could not be persuaded. Muas also knew what the other party was thinking, so he had to agree in the end.

Lin Xi left at five in the afternoon. The receiver in her hair kept sending sounds, but after a while, the signal became intermittent, the voices were sporadic, and there were occasional strange creaking sounds...

The Muas and other insects hiding in the distance realized that Lin Xi had entered their nest and there should be a signal shielding device underground.

It’s just that the quality of the opponent’s shielding device is average and can only block half of it.

Parker sighed: "Our second brother is still the best."

Muas is the oldest among Lin Xi's brothers, so he deserves the title of "Second Brother".

Xander nodded in agreement.

Parker thought to himself that his second brother was capable, had a good family background, and was handsome, no wonder the eldest brother liked him. If his second brother was a male, he would definitely fall at his feet immediately.

Muas began to debug the equipment. The sound coming from the equipment was sometimes high and sometimes low, and there was also a crackling sound of electric current, but after a while, the sound coming from the equipment became much clearer.

"Hello, my name is Elron Levi. Do you know the Levi family?"

"Hello, Lin Xi."

Hearing two greetings, one of them obviously from Lin Xi, Parker exclaimed, "Boss is amazing! Others would be terrified to enter a pirate's lair, but he's made friends with them?"

Sander poked him and signaled him to stop talking. Only then did Parker notice that Muas's face seemed not to be very good.

Parker's expression became strange. Could it be that Muas also had some ideas about the boss?

Otherwise, why would his face look so bad when he heard that the other person had made new friends?

In fact, Muas didn't hear what Parker said at all. He was stunned by the last name Levi.

The Levi family is also a well-known noble family in the capital star, but the head of the Levi family has few children. In all these years, he has only one female child, who is in poor health and has been raised in pampering. Her name seems to be Ailon.

However, shouldn't this delicate little female be staying on the capital planet at this time, being held in the palm of the hand of the head of the Levi family, welcoming the upcoming second evolution?

The thought took only a few seconds, and Muas regained his expressionless face, listening to the sound coming from the device and analyzing the information he got from it.

It was a moonlit night and all around was quiet. The only sound was the whistling wind blowing through the alley, bringing waves of howling.

Now is a good time to take action.

The purpose of a sneak attack is to catch them off guard.

When Lin Xi followed Hugo, Hugo saw with his own eyes that he had sent a message to his companions, saying that he was going out to do part-time work tonight and would not return to the dormitory.

To be on the safe side, Ugo also took away his laptop so that he could send a message to fool his companions tomorrow.

The pirates have a day and a night of buffer time. They need to rest and recuperate tonight, and they must evacuate after tomorrow.

Muas, Parker and Sander, three insects, kept moving in the alley wearing invisibility cloaks and soon came to the dead end where Lin Xi finally disappeared.

The invisibility cloak is of very high value. It is not a product of a low-level star and was also taken out by Muas.

However, this invisibility cloak has a drawback: it cannot block the detection of life detectors.

Muas's voice came out from his clothes, muffled and a little distorted: "Remember what I said, act quickly."

Parker and Xander replied in unison, "Understood."

Muas groped along both sides of the wall and soon found the opening device.

Before, Ugo used the controller to open the door directly, which was equivalent to a key.

Since Muas and his friends didn't have the key, they had to pick the lock.

This kind of device was not very difficult to use, and Muas worked very quickly and cracked it quickly.

The wall opened and the three insects immediately slipped in.

Late at night, the pirates were all in a deep sleep, but they were used to living on the edge of a knife and did not slack off because of their comfort. They also left two female insects guarding the door.

Two female insects were squatting at the door, chatting about meaningless topics.

"The Red Bee Pirates are still living a comfortable life. I heard that there are five males in their group, and the boss alone accounts for two of them."

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I heard that a male insect, even a noble one, is very prickly and very powerful."

"Hey, please stop talking. You're making me drool. When will our group have a male insect?"

"You're overthinking this. Unless you're like that stupid female insect before, adventuring on a low-level planet and your spaceship broke down and you happened to run into us, you won't even be able to see us, let alone rob us!"

"That's true. No male insect would be willing to come to a low-level star field..."

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"

The female insect, who was chewing a grass root, turned her head and saw her companion with its head drooping. Then she felt a pain in her neck and fell silent.

Muas watched as Sander twisted the female insect's neck and was slightly surprised at his strength.

Parker said with some pride: "Our Sander is not only physically strong, but also much stronger than insects of the same level."

Muas didn't say anything, but nodded slightly and said, "Defeat them one by one."

After saying this, Muas disappeared, and Parker and Sander immediately took action.

However, the three Muas insects moved very quickly, but not as fast as the equipment detection.

The two female guard insects were killed, and the sensor devices on their bodies were triggered, immediately sounding the alarm. The alarm had a chain reaction, and soon the entire underground base was ringing, waking all the pirates from their sleep.

Muas had anticipated this situation and threw a few smoke bombs in his hand.

Smoke billowed as the pirates walked out of the room. It was pitch dark and it was impossible to tell whether they were friends or foes.

Hugo walked out of the room. Seeing the attitude of the visitor, he knew that he was up to no good, so he subconsciously walked into the room where Lin Xi was imprisoned.

The door lock was opened and Ugo walked in. Lin Xi immediately took out the anesthetic needle from the ring and hit Ugo in the chest.

The anesthetic needle entered the body like a drop of water falling into the sea, instantly merging with the blood. This anesthetic needle was extremely effective. Hugo did not expect that Lin Xi had such an advanced anesthetic needle in his hand, and he was caught off guard.

Linxi dragged Ugo's body in, found the key to unlock the door from him, and ran out with Ailon.

Ailon was a little excited. He didn't expect them to run out so easily.

But Lin Xi opened the door, but did not run out. Instead, he ran to the next door and opened it.

Ai Luo En said anxiously: "There are insects attacking, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to escape?"

Lin Xi glanced at Ailon and was too embarrassed to say that there were only three bugs in the sneak attack and they could not fight against more than 20 pirates. They could not escape in the chaos.

Lin Xi explained: "They are fighting each other. If we are not careful, we will get hurt. How can we escape without finding some help?"

Hearing this, Ai Luo En nodded: "You have a point."

When Lin Xi walked in, he saw more than a dozen female insects locked up in the room. All of them were strong, powerful and tall, but now they were shackled and huddled together, unable to even straighten their legs.

"Master Bug!" The guards immediately became excited when they saw Ailon.

Ai Luo En quickly looked at Lin Xi: "They don't seem to be able to help us like this. What should we do? Should we just run away?"

The guards who thought they were rescued: "???"

Lin Xi looked at these guards with different expressions and couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence for them. It was really unlucky to have such a master.

Lin Xi said: "Untie the shackles first."

Lin Xi took out a key from Ugo and tried it one by one, uncuffing several insects, but the key to the handcuffs was not on Ugo.

I did find a controller, but I don't know what it turns on. The way to open it is fingerprint unlocking.

Lin Xi thought: Does he have to go to the next door to drag Ugo's body over and try each of his ten fingers one by one?

The sound of gunfire outside was getting closer and closer, and the screams were endless. Ai Luoen was a little scared and huddled beside Lin Xi and said, "Forget it if the handcuffs can't be opened. Let's run!"

Lin Xi didn't have the key, and was helpless with the handcuffs, so he had to give up.

"Run? You can't run away!"

Lin Xi immediately turned his head alertly and found the pirate leader standing at the door with the black muzzle of his gun pointing towards them.

"Fourth Brother was really sharp. He saw right away that you were no pushover." The pirate leader sighed. "Third Brother was truly foolish. He was so seduced by lust that he fell for your scheme!"

Lin Xi's mouth twitched at this conversation. The pirate leader's words were too ambiguous. He did like female insects, but he didn't like the kind that appeared honest and simple on the outside but were cunning and treacherous inside.

"Let's be frank. You know your lair has been discovered. If you lay down your weapons and surrender, I'm willing to plead for mercy on your behalf and ask the security team to show you some mercy!"

"Let them off?" The pirate leader sneered, as if he'd heard something funny. "How can I let them off? I'm a pirate, how can they let me off?"

Lin Xi said: "I will not let you go, but at least you can save your life."

"Save your life?" The pirate leader hesitated and seemed a little shaken. Lin Xi was about to make another effort when he saw the other party's face suddenly changed.

Lin Xi had a bad feeling and pulled Ai Luo En behind him. The pirate boss smiled viciously and said, "Screw you, I'm going to kill you today!"

With a "bang" sound of a gunshot, the bullet came towards Lin Xi and hit him directly in the chest.

Lin Xi maintained a look of fear as if he had been shot. When he was about to fall to the ground, the pirate boss pointed his gun at Ailon, wanting to kill him as well, but he was kicked in the wrist, and the gun slipped out of his hand.

The pirate boss was startled and wanted to pick up the gun, but he heard a voice: "Don't move, or your head will explode."

The pirate leader immediately raised his hands in surrender, saying, "I won't move, don't kill me!"

It can be seen that he still cherishes his life.
