“The current situation is extremely dire. If no one stops them, we will all die. It will be meaningless. No matter what method you use, as long as you stop them and survive, I will reward you handsomely. If you die, I will avenge you and treat your family and friends well…” Mingdu said in a deep voice.
One person opened their mouth, as if wanting to say something.
“That level eleven peak robot has been gone for some time now. It’s too late for it to come back. Moreover, if it travels fast and catches up with Lin Yun’s warship sooner, it might make Lin Yun give up tracking us sooner. This is another opportunity for change. We can’t let it retreat…” Mingdu understood the other party’s thoughts from the spiritual power it emitted and spoke up.
"Alright! My lord has been incredibly kind to me, and now is the time for me to repay your kindness. I'll go!"
"My lord, take care!"
Soon, the two nodded and bowed to Mingdu, speaking very respectfully.
"Holy crap..."
"Let's go..."
After someone took the lead, the others followed suit.
Mingdu's analysis was very clear: if they didn't stop them, they would all die anyway, so it would be pointless. What were they doing staying here? Waiting to die?
Taking a step forward means certain death, and taking a step back also means certain death, so why not take a gamble!
Of course, some of them also had another idea in mind...
They were well aware of Mingdu's style!
They'll surely die if they stay here!
We're not waiting for Lin Yun and that golden beast to kill them!
Instead, Mingdu personally killed them!
However, if they leave this warship, things might change!
If you can't beat them, can't you at least outrun them?
Anyway, their current strength is not weak. They can live a very comfortable life anywhere in this star field. It's better than dying!
Lin Yun and the golden beast's destination is Mingdu. If they run in other directions, Lin Yun and the golden beast may not chase them, which is their chance of survival!
However, they suppressed these thoughts in their hearts and dared not think too much about them.
Mingdu's mental strength level is very high. If they think too much about such things, Mingdu will notice!
whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Soon, one after another, level 10 experts left Mingdu's warships and quickly headed towards Lin Yun and the Golden Beast's group.
"Huh? Someone else is coming out?"
Lin Yun's pupils contracted slightly.
Lin Yun then discerned the strength of these people and gave a cold smile.
"He's just a level ten cultivator, and not even a robot. It seems Mingdu is truly at its wit's end..."
He said softly.
Robots can be bought again, but real people are hard to find. He knew that Mingdu had some people with him, but judging from Mingdu's previous behavior, he wouldn't usually use up these real people.
"Buzz—"
The blood-red longsword in Lin Yun's hand trembled incessantly, radiating a faint sense of excitement. It seemed to have sensed that the enemies ahead were all real people, and if Lin Yun used it to fight against them, it could absorb their life essence.
"Alright! I'll let you smoke your fill today!"
Lin Yun glanced at the blood-red sword in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said.
As time passed, he absorbed more and more of the medicinal power of the Heavenly Evolution Flower, and the killing intent on his body weakened. He was able to use the Blood Sword to further enhance his power.
whoosh—whoosh—
Seeing another group of people approaching, the golden beast seemed very excited, letting out low growls and increasing its teleportation speed.
"escape!"
"Walk!"
However, to Lin Yun's surprise, before he, Sheng Er, Sheng San, and the Golden Beast could even get close to these people, some of them suddenly scattered and began to teleport away in other directions.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Lin Yun was slightly taken aback.
What's going on?
However, Lin Yun quickly understood.
These people knew what would happen if they got close to them, so they were looking for a way to survive; they didn't want to die!
"roar--"
Seeing this, the golden beast became somewhat agitated. Its aura changed slightly, as if it wanted to catch up with these people and kill them.
The robots that had besieged it had been killed, and it had already vented most of its anger.
The reason for chasing after these people was still to vent their anger, but they would kill anyone.
Ultimately, it was a star beast with low intelligence, and a cub, unaware that its main enemy was actually on that warship.
"Fellow villager, don't chase these people. They're on orders from others. The people who ordered us to attack you and me are still on that warship..." Lin Yun transmitted his voice to the golden beast.
Now is the crucial moment to catch up with that warship. Every second is extremely important. If the Golden Beast changes its pursuit direction, it may really be unable to catch up with Mingdu.
"roar--"
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, the golden beast first emitted a puzzled spiritual energy, then a clear one. Soon, it stopped paying attention to the fleeing people and turned its gaze to the warship, its eyes shining brightly.
It didn't quite understand what Lin Yun was saying.
However, it realized that the warship was their biggest target.
"You guys are smart..."
Lin Yun looked at the fleeing people from the "foot" of the golden beast and thought to himself.
"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"
However, this idea had barely formed when powerful energy attacks flew out from Mingdu's warship, quickly engulfing the fleeing people.
"Boom—Boom—Boom—"
In the starry sky, one by one, the fleeing people were caught up by the energy attacks and exploded into fireballs.
The warship, at the level of an eighth-level technological civilization, has an overall strength equivalent to an eleventh-level expert. In terms of pure attack power, it even surpasses an eleventh-level expert of the same level. This round of attacks showed no mercy; once it hit, it was something that no ordinary tenth-level expert could withstand.
The strongest of those who fled was only at the late stage of level 10, so they were naturally no match for them.
In addition, there weren't many people on guard, so most of them were killed in one go.
"this--"
Lin Yun was taken aback.
Is this an attack launched by Mingdu?
They actually killed their own people?
How ruthless!
This is practically sending people to their deaths... They can't even escape...
"What!"
"These attacks—"
Not only was Lin Yun taken aback, but the level 10 experts sent by Mingdu were also startled.
To be honest, when I saw those people running away, some of them were tempted and hesitated about whether to run away too.
However, this round of energy cannon attacks felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over their hearts.
Those who tried to escape are all dead!
Running away is a dead end!
"kill!"
With the escape route cut off, there's only one way left. Some people looked up in the direction of Lin Yun and the golden beast and shouted.
His tone carried a sense of tragic grandeur.
Knowing it's suicide, yet still going up there—life is full of helplessness.
Some of those who had just fled but hadn't been killed also quickly turned around, no longer daring to run away, and together they headed towards Lin Yun and the golden beast!
