Chapter 120 Chapter 120 If nothing unexpected happens, it will be...
Finny is much taller than the cub.
In Sancas, he rarely got to do such delicate work as making the cubs happy.
Most of the time, Finny was playing mischief with little Chuzao, jumping around.
Looking at the cold and gloomy little Chuzao——
Normally the little guy loves to laugh and has a good temper, so I can't feel it.
But once he stopped smiling, coldness overwhelmed his brows and spread into his pupils... He was worthy of being Amos's own son.
At first glance, it looked very similar to Amos's aura, and it successfully made Finippi nervous for a moment.
To some extent, Xiao Chuzao is not someone to be trifled with.
It's just that there were parents blocking his view in front of him, so he couldn't be seen at first glance.
And now, in this strange star system, the little guy felt in advance what he needed to do as a king and what he needed to consider...
So like Amos…
It's so scary.
What kind of illusion is this?!
Finney raised his hand, his baby face looked extremely serious. He stretched out his hand, pinched Chu Zao's cheek, and rubbed it back and forth vigorously.
Chu Zao’s little face was shaking as it was rubbed:?
"Zao Zao has grown up and is doing very well."
Finney's hands kept moving.
"Now that we have found the person, we just need to wait for our second brother to arrive. Be happy—"
Grow up?
It’s a rare assessment to hear from Finney.
This guy's outward personality doesn't seem reliable. After Dwight had a baby, this guy is the one who likes to take the little one to play mischief the most.
When he grew up, he often took Chu Zao to do things that gave Amos a headache.
So it makes sense that Amos was reluctant to use Finney in the beginning.
Chu Zao blinked his eyes, and the young boy's soft cheeks were rubbed hard by his uncle like dough.
Chu Zao tried hard to save his face from Finny's hands.
"So I did a good job?"
Little Chuzao tilted his head, not waiting for Finny to nod.
Then Chu Zao said, "I'll give you ten minutes now to praise me."
The little guy's emotions seemed to come and go quickly, and he had no idea if he was hiding his emotions. At this moment, he held his head high and looked at Finny with a smile.
Fini: ...
Finney reflected on himself at this moment - did he teach his child bad things?
Meanwhile, Chao Huangmu was not at all slow.
"Today is also the day when Zao Zao is so handsome and cute, has strong leadership skills, and is constantly growing in strength!"
He is always ready.
Finney: ...Ah, no, you...
Chu Zao was originally trying to change the subject, but after hearing this, he paused and then burst out laughing.
"Did you hear that, Uncle San?"
Chu Zao muttered, and his mood seemed to have improved significantly.
He has loved being praised by others since he was a child. When he is praised, the little wings behind him would always flap with joy unconsciously.
Although this kind of personality has been restrained as he grew up, his tone has become noticeably lighter.
Then he took out some candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
Many bags of candy had been presented to Huangmu before, and now they were all in Xiao Chuzao's pocket.
Watching Chu Zao crunching the candy, this is almost the instinctive reaction of all the crown clan members now.
"Didn't Brother Amos limit the amount of candy you can have? Have you eaten too much today?"
"Candy should be unlimited after adulthood."
Chu Zao still had candy in his mouth, and his voice was a little unclear.
Then Finny poked him in the cheek.
"You haven't had your coming of age ceremony yet. You're still a kid. The amount of candy you can have is limited."
If Amos finds out that there is no limit, he will be in trouble.
Chu Zao blinked her big eyes and looked at him.
Finney: "It's no use looking at me... No, Zao Zao, speak properly and don't take out the notebook."
Then Finny was silent for a moment and took two steps back. His movements were slightly synchronized with Chao Huangmu's.
"Don't even take out your Cupid's bow."
No, in this small space now, who are you going to love and make peace with, kid? !
*
Preparations for mineral collection in the sacred territory are still underway.
At this moment, the sky above has become completely dark.
There are tiny dots of stars scattered all over the sky.
The dark clouds in the afternoon didn’t seem to have any impact on the place. At night, the surroundings were still very far away, the stars were very bright, and the entire interstellar space seemed to be unaffected by pollution.
Chu Zao was still waiting for their news, and took the opportunity to take a tour of the entire sacred territory.
The people of Sankas are still the people of Sankas, but after wandering here for a thousand years, they are obviously more uneasy and less confident.
Finally, Chu Zao jumped to the highest point of the starship and sat there looking at the sky.
You can still vaguely see that his little face from childhood is becoming more and more beautiful. He actually has a rather cold appearance, just like Amos, but as he grows up, he gradually becomes adept at controlling and guiding the emotions of the people around him, so when he smiles, he mostly gives people a gentle and soft feeling.
A person fell lightly beside him.
"Algae."
When Xiao Chuzao said he wanted to go out for a walk, Chao Huangmu followed him closely.
In fact, Finny should be the same, but as an adult of the Crown Clan, Finny has stronger mental power, and Chu Zao is unable to find him most of the time, but Chao Huangmu is sure that he will be discovered if he hides, so he just follows him openly.
There wasn't much light overhead, only the flying lighting equipment, which was brighter than the moonlight.
A white, clear and cold layer fell on Chu Zao's body.
At this moment, Chao Huangmu looked up at Chu Zao.
Chao Huangmu's emotions are mostly fake.
This caused him to often not consider things comprehensively. For example, Chu Zao's mood had obviously improved just now, but at this moment, he still looked unhappy.
Chao Huangmu was not quite sure.
Chu Zao also looked at Chao Huangmu and saw the questioning in Chao Huangmu's eyes.
Chu Zao hugged his knees, looked at the sky and thought: "Brother Mu, I miss my dad a little bit, I have so many questions——"
Chu Zao has never been separated from Amos for so long. Ever since he was taken back by Amos, from the previous training to now, he hasn't seen Amos for nearly half a month.
What's more, the young and immature, still growing cub suddenly inherited the sacred territory with many problems, a place with insufficient food and medicine, and in a strange interstellar space that Chu Zao didn't know much about.
Chu Zao was unsure about many things and always wanted to ask his father or uncle, but they were not there.
There is only a third uncle who is not very good at managing things.
Of course, this is not Uncle San’s fault.
Chu Zao exhaled lightly and rested her chin on her arm, which made her pretty little face look a little rounder due to the squeezing, less cold and even more adorable.
Chao Huangmu has no parents.
To be precise, Chao Huangmu has never seen his parents and has lost the relevant memories.
He spent many holidays alone in the military academy, or with Chu Zao, Yun Songquan and Peng Liang. He could not really understand little Chu Zao's emotions.
But this is about many issues.
Chao Huangmu, who was wearing a black military uniform, raised his eyes. Chu Zao's figure was reflected in his dark eyes. His black hair was messy, and his handsome face always had a friendly and gentle smile. The lines of his muscles were faintly visible under the fabric of the military uniform. He knelt beside little Chu Zao, like a black dragon ready to go.
"We have to solve problems when they occur. Isn't that what we have always done? Zao Zao must believe in herself, believe in the education of His Highness Hull, and believe in the guidance of His Majesty Amos. There won't be any problems - if there are -"
Chao Huangmu lowered his brows, still kneeling beside little Chuzao. He stretched out his hand, held Chuzao's hand, and pulled Chuzao's hand out - it was a very ancient but very standard knight's salute.
Chu Zao was stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand and turned to look at Chao Huangmu.
Listen to Chao Huangmu continue speaking.
"If there is - then I will be your little prince's sharpest knife and eradicate everything for you."
This also means that he will always stay by Chu Zao's side.
Like a greedy black dog dragon, it used its claws to try to grab the most beautiful treasure.
The wind blew Chu Zao's hair. Chu Zao looked at Chao Huangmu, who had learned the standard knight's salute from somewhere and performed it perfectly, and blinked her big eyes.
"Oh no, Brother Mu, you looked quite handsome just now."
Chu Zao's eyebrows curved.
Chao Huangmu was obviously stunned.
The next moment, Chao Huangmu withdrew his hand, his eyes looked around aimlessly, and his ears turned red quickly.
"Yes, is it?"
Does Zao Zao like this feeling?
This would feel more... cool?
Which one is more handsome?
Chao Huangmu has begun to analyze hard, trying to generate a 20,000-word essay on Chu Zao's definition of handsome in his mind.
"yes."
Chu Zao smiled.
Afterwards, the communicator given to Chu Zao by Lai Qing and others lit up.
It says on it - My Lord, everything is ready.
It's time to set off.
You can also explore the surrounding area.
Chu Zao stood up, stretched out his hand to Chao Huangmu who was kneeling beside him, pulled up Chao Huangmu who was still kneeling beside him, and then looked down.
"Third uncle."
Finny was leaning quietly against the side of the starship. From this height, Finny was just a small dot.
But the crown family has excellent vision and hearing.
Chu Zao heard his uncle respond.
Then I heard Uncle San speak again——
"What's there to worry about? Third Uncle is pretty reliable, isn't he? If you have any questions, Third Uncle will help you solve them."
Anyway, Finny has done this kind of thing a lot.
besides--
Finney couldn't help muttering again.
"What is that guy doing? Never mind...it's not that important. Don't worry, Zao Zao. It's okay. Nothing will happen."
Finny stood up, took a few steps forward, turned around, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Chuzao.
"Let's go, little ancestor, it's time for us to set off."
"good."
Chu Zao responded quickly, and looking at Finny's appearance, he couldn't help but think - Third Uncle is still very reliable at this time.
but--
If nothing unexpected happens, an accident will happen.
About a few hours later, on the Holy Territory starship.
"The route has deviated - eh? It seems that the power of the pollution tide has caused it to deviate from the route."
Lai Qing and other councillors who came with him were sweating profusely.
"We are determining the direction. Your Highness and Little Prince, please wait for a moment. We will definitely find the direction soon."
Chu Zao looked at the path on the command platform that suddenly disappeared. It was obvious that getting lost in the interstellar space in such a polluted place with powerful monsters everywhere was a very terrifying thing.
But for Chu Zao, it was not that scary.
And Finny was calm—remarkably calm.
Isn't he surprisingly calm?
Chu Zao opened his eyes wide, looked at Finny, and asked silently: - Uncle San, what are you doing for us again???
You really have a special physique, right? There must be some special reason, right?
Fini: ...
"Don't look at me. I don't know."
But when Finny took a look at the members of the Holy Territory who were already in a panic, he seemed to see the Third Army that had gone on the mission with him for the first time.
Now the Third Army has adapted very well. The entire army is very strange, and it is the team that is best at adapting to changing circumstances - because there are too many unexpected events.
Although he felt that it was not his problem, Finny still felt a little strangely guilty when watching all this.
He spoke, trying to comfort.
"Don't worry too much. Based on my years of experience, although it may not be a good thing, it is probably not a bad thing either."
For example, he had previously madly crashed into the area of the Alien Beast Legion, and also madly rushed into the territories of those sponsored by the Anthem Organization, whether it was a laboratory or a assembled military force.
Finney adapted very well.
Generally speaking, nothing serious will happen.
It was at this time that he heard Lai Qing speak nervously again.
"We are completely contaminated - completely off course, and are now adjusting our course - sorry, Your Highnesses, our instruments seem to have a temporary problem, we have never encountered this before... No, this is an oversight in our inspection, we are very sorry."
Chu Zao: “…No need to apologize.”
Fini: ...
Ah... sounds like the problem of intrusion here is quite serious? Severe pollution?
The pollution in this interstellar area is already troublesome for Finny, and there are also severe areas?
"Quickly get out—"
"It's really strange, how come there are no strange beasts in such a severely polluted area?"
"Indeed - that's why we didn't realize we had come to this kind of place from the beginning. Fortunately, all the starships were built to the highest level of pollution - if the alarm hadn't sounded, we might have been sailing on the wrong navigation for a while."
There aren't many reference points in the interstellar space, so in most cases one must follow navigation. However, Finny's navigation is prone to accidents.
Finney stood there, then raised his hand a little embarrassedly and grabbed his hair.
Xiao Chuzao looked at Finny and circled around his uncle twice, but he still didn't understand what kind of physique Finny had - why did he have to remind him that his uncle was not very reliable when he thought he was still very reliable -
Thinking of this, Chu Zao suddenly paused, and turned his head in a daze to look in the direction they had just left.
It was so strange. Just now, it seemed as if there was a reflection of something flashing before my eyes, and then it disappeared without a trace. It was so fast that Chu Zao could see the lights on the starship in a trance, and also -
Chu Zao thought: "Uncle San, did you hear any sound just now?"
"No."
Finney looked towards Chuzao.
He even stretched out his hand and pinched Chu Zao's little ear, wondering, "Are you hallucinating?"
Chu Zao hid for a moment, and once again looked at the polluted depths where almost no strange beasts gathered, feeling somewhat bewildered.
Deep in that pollution - is there something?
But Chu Zao was not sure.
After all, the Crown Clan had very good five senses, and Finny, as a member of the Crown Clan at its peak, perceived these things more clearly than he did, but obviously Finny did not feel anything unusual.
Chu Zao felt a little strange, but still looked away.
Wait for the starship of the sacred territory to quickly leave the heavily polluted and pressured area.
The spaceship rushed out again, and finally somewhere in the control room the screen flickered, and the alarm sounded again - "It has completely deviated."
It seems that the navigation system should have been restored.
The members of the Holy Territory Council, who were sweating, took a deep breath, and the tension finally dissipated.
"But Speaker, we are seriously off course. It seems that we have no way of reaching our target planet before the drugs run out."
Inside the starship, someone reported again.
Lai Qing paused and began to search for a suitable planet nearby.
"This place is relatively close to the Gethen Empire, and we may encounter the Gethen Empire's mechas. However, because it is relatively close to the heavily polluted area, the surrounding planets are not suitable for living, and it is a deserted public star field."
They continued talking while quickly maneuvering the starship.
As they moved, they couldn't help but glance in the direction of Chu Zao and Finny.
The people in the Holy Territory, who were already very nervous, were even more annoyed at this moment - they were all prepared to perform well, so how could they make mistakes in such a place?
Until someone casually scanned the nearby planet.
Finny scratched his head and thought about using their partially repaired small starship to head to the target planet.
But you need to import the navigation chart here first.
The next second, someone from the Holy Territory quickly spoke: "Speaker, we scanned the nearby planet and found that it has the minerals we need. It belongs to the public star domain and can be collected. Do you want to land and collect it?"
This place is close to the Gethen Empire, and they know very little about this planet.
Lai Qing immediately said: "Land and collect."
Chu Zao looked away from Finny.
Finney breathed a small sigh of relief.
Lai Qing then turned to look at Chu Zao: "Your Highness, weren't you curious about how we collect the materials? We have a special collection robot that can be operated. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Okay, let me see—"
*
At the same time, on the other end.
“The contamination on this side is much stronger than we expected.”
It was Fei Man who spoke.
Because they were close, she followed Amos here to look for the lost Zao Zao and his friends, and to bring back the third brother.
"Well, it's slower than expected."
Amos stood in front of the command desk and spoke in a cold voice, looking at everything in front of him.
Fei Man let out a long breath and responded.
"Yes, but nothing should have happened to Zao Zao and Third Brother. Guan Mian still feels normal."
This also makes them feel more at ease.
What's more, the positioning device on Zao Zao's body would occasionally flash slightly, telling them that Xiao Chu Zao was still in action.
Amos said nothing.
He just looked ahead quietly.
Just like Xiao Chuzao said before, Chuzao hasn't seen Amos for nearly half a month, and Amos has also not seen his own cubs for such a long time.
Saint Cass's starship was moving deeper and deeper, heading straight for the position where Chu Zao occasionally flashed.
Not far away was Ebenino flapping his wings.
Ebenino's crown had not yet been completely repaired, and even though the serious problems with his flesh and blood had not become more serious, it was still frightening to watch.
He was still unconscious, but he was aware that the cub that had been humming and singing to him was missing.
The wings behind him flapped anxiously. He flew in front for a while, then looked anxiously at the starship of Saint Cass behind him.
His mental strength was still constructing a barrier, and the further away from the barrier, the weaker Ebenino became.
Fermyn had previously tried to get Ebenino back, but had apparently failed.
At this moment, Ebenino was very anxious.
Finally he roared -
He flapped his tattered wings vigorously, and suddenly - flew out several meters.
AMOS: ...
Fei Man: ...
"Grandpa, please save your energy..."
I used a lot of effort, but I didn't run very far.
"Ebenino, be quiet."
The Emperor of Saint Cass spoke.
Apparently, Amos, who was very impatient because of the loss of his cub, did not want his thoughts to be disturbed.
His soft, cute and protective cub had never been away from him for so long.
Not to mention following the unreliable Finny.
Amos's soft, cute and protective cub was holding the control handle of the mining robot, and was controlling the small robot to mine with bright eyes.
It's like playing a mining game.
"Yes, press this to collect."
The people from the sacred territory next to him said this, and gave it enough emotional value.
"Your Highness is really amazing——"
"This mineral has a high content of usable substances. Your Highness really has a unique vision—"
Chao Huangmu, who couldn't even squeeze in, said:...
Finny was leaning against the door and watching not far away.
In the distance, several mechas were slowly approaching.
"Want to explore this area today?"
“This is the mission we were given.”
"Okay, the survival competition is coming up soon. I heard they're going to have a sacred territory this year?"
"Really? But it doesn't seem to be going well."
"It's just a small place. If there's anything wrong, we can easily deal with it. Hey, look, what's that over there? A starship? A robot?"
at the same time--
The starship in the Holy Territory received a radar alert - "Alert - an unknown mecha is approaching quickly -"
Lai Qing and the others looked up in an instant and warned: "This is the sacred territory of Saint Cass, please keep a safe distance."
"I repeat, this is the sacred territory of Saint Cass, please keep a safe distance!"
Chu Zao, holding the game controller, was still clumsily manipulating his little robot and didn't care much about those guys.
And as if they had heard the warning from the Holy Territory, the mechas took action even more frantically. One of them accelerated rapidly and rushed towards his little robot.
Then, in the crackling channel, a sneering and arrogant voice was heard - in their eyes, the sacred territory was a decaying place to be cleared and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Saint Cass? What is Saint Cass? This place belongs to the Gethen Empire. Only the guys from the Holy Territory should leave—"
