Chapter 87 Entering the Caverns The pirates' lair was in chaos. ...
The pirates' lair was in chaos.
"Damn it, how did we get discovered?"
"They actually dispatched the Fifth Legion. They really think highly of us!"
"Run, take those two insectoids with you!"
"That damn Fifth Legion must be here for those two insectoids!"
"Ah! There's a bug sneaking in!"
"How is this possible! How can it be so fast?!"
Deep in the cave, the sound of gunfire was heard continuously. Lin Xi and Muas changed into the light armor of the local army and went with them to help.
The mecha is too large and the cave is too narrow to be used by the mecha to move through and fight, so only light armor can be worn.
Sander, Parker, Wylie, and the frightened cadet left their position and avoided the fighting.
Parker and Wylie knew that their strength was average, so they wisely did not follow, while Sander stayed behind to protect their safety.
Lin Xi and Muas joined the rescue operation, but bullets have no eyes. Their first priority was to rescue the insectoids, and the Fifth Legion also had the same intention.
Lin Xi's spiritual power surged out and entered the various forks in the cave, but the insects running by ignored it and didn't notice it at all.
Lin Xi's spiritual power spread throughout the cave, sensing the scent of male insect pheromones, but the source of the scent was nowhere to be found.
The search continued, leaving no corner or room untouched.
Suddenly, the mental tentacles stopped at a dead end.
"Found it." Lin Xi opened his eyes and said in surprise.
After signaling to Muas, the two insects moved forward quickly along the route. With the help of mental cheating, any pirates they met on the way would be killed in advance. They soon arrived at the place where the male insects were suspected to be imprisoned, and the female soldier who followed them in had long disappeared.
"There should be a mechanism nearby." Lin Xi knocked on the opposite wall and found that it was empty inside.
Seeing this, Muas also started to feel around and soon found a bulge.
When the stone was pressed down, the wall opened with a bang, and rich pheromones rushed towards him. As expected, two male insects were imprisoned inside.
Lin Xi saw the situation inside. Two male insects were naked and shivering in each other's arms. Two disheveled female insects were standing beside them, holding guns against their heads.
"Don't come in! If you take another step, I'll shoot them!"
"Aren't you here just for these two male insects? If they die, you will have a hard time explaining yourself!" said a pirate with a red face, staring at them intently.
Seeing this, Lin Xi and Muas raised their hands to indicate that they were not a threat.
“Stand back!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi and Muas obediently backed away slowly.
The two male insects hugged each other tightly, their faces pale, looking at them with hope, but found that they seemed unable to subdue the pirates. They opened their mouths to say something, but when they saw the guns above their heads, they closed their mouths in fear.
Woo woo woo, father, they want to go home!
Lin Xi captured the emotions emanating through his mental power. Facing the emotional scene directly, his perception became particularly sharp.
[Don't be afraid.] A soft and ethereal voice sounded in my ears.
The two trembling insects immediately opened their eyes wide, rolled their eyeballs, and began to look around.
Just now, a bug spoke. No, it was probably a telepathic transmission! This is something only male bugs can do. Is there another male bug nearby?
Just as he was thinking about it, two "crack, crack" sounds of broken bones were heard, and the two pirates who were pointing guns at the bugs fell to the ground with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Ah!" The two male insects screamed in fear, closed their eyes and hugged each other tighter.
Muas kicked the space pirate aside, stripped his clothes off, threw them in front of the male insect and said, "Hurry and change."
The male insect was out of danger, the terrible corpse moved away, and its trembling body slowly returned to calm.
After they were no longer afraid, they looked at Muas, then at the clothes on the ground, their faces becoming critical: "This was taken from the corpse of a space pirate. How can I wear this!"
"I don't want to wear it either. Go find some new clothes!"
Lin Xi: “…”
Lin Xi looked at the male insect that was huddled in fear just now. After the crisis was resolved, not only did it not thank them, but it even put on airs. Its expression was a little distorted for a moment.
"There's no other clothes. If I don't wear anything, I'll have to be naked." Lin Xi said, crossing his arms.
"How could you do this!" Virgil looked up accusingly, but fell silent when he saw Lin Xi.
This female insect gave him a very special feeling.
Nathani also sensed something was wrong. The female insect's voice was so familiar, very similar to...
Nathani's eyes widened slightly. His memory was not so bad. He suddenly remembered that his voice was very similar to the "Don't be afraid" that appeared out of nowhere just now!
This insect! Nathani's breathing became heavier. He's a male insect?!
However, Nathani became suspicious again. He did not smell the male insect pheromones from the other party, nor did he sense any mental power.
Nathani was a little confused. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
"Hurry up and get through it. It's very dangerous here. There's a gunfight going on outside. If large weapons are used, it's likely to cause a landslide and we'll all be buried alive here." Lin Xi said.
Hearing that they would be buried alive, the two male insects were no longer picky and quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.
Lin Xi pulled Muas up and turned his back. He didn't want his wife to see the naked body of another male.
"Put it on." The two male insects put their long sleeves in their tucked-in sleeves and kicked their trouser legs, looking very funny.
Lin Xi was a little speechless: "Roll up your sleeves if they are too long, and roll up your trouser legs too, and your shoes, otherwise how can you go out?"
"You want us to go out by ourselves?" Virgil asked in disbelief.
"What else?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow. "Carry you out? I have a partner, so I won't do such an unfaithful thing."
Virgil opened his eyes wide: "How could a male insect like you?"
Although Lin Xi's appearance and temperament are very much in line with the preferences of male insects, he has such a bad mouth and is not gentlemanly at all. How could any male insect be interested in him?
Lin Xi rolled her eyes: "None of your business, I just like bugs."
Virgil was speechless and looked a little aggrieved.
Lin Xi pointed at his shoes and said, "Hurry up, don't waste time."
The two male insects had to do it themselves, rolling up their sleeves and trouser legs. It was difficult to do it with one hand, so they had to help each other. After a lot of trouble, they finally got themselves almost done.
Lin Xi looked at the two bugs' attire and felt a little uncomfortable, but he would not help, nor would he let Muas help. He could only turn his head away, out of sight and out of mind.
The way back was much smoother than the way here, and we didn't encounter any pirates, but the gunfight and bombing outside were still going on, with shells bombarding the mountain and debris constantly falling down.
Lin Xi and Muas inevitably had to use their mental power to block.
Muas's mental power was relatively rough. He would crush any falling debris into sand or blow it away. Lin Xi, on the other hand, held up a protective shield and also had to protect the male insects behind him, taking care of their snail-like pace, which was actually much slower than when they came in.
More and more rubble fell, and Lin Xi had no choice but to concentrate his mental power to create a shield above their heads.
With such frequent use of mental power, even a dull male insect could sense a little bit. What's more, Nathani secretly extended his mental power to capture the mental power of the powerful male insect. Because of fear and inferiority, his small tentacles were so sad that they almost shrank into a ball.
That male insect is really powerful, very, very powerful!
As they approached the exit, the stones falling from above their heads became more and more frequent and larger. Lin Xi used his mental power to pick up two male insects and threw them out, causing them to roll several times on the ground.
The two delicate male insects rolled around in the dirt, their bodies and faces covered in mud. They slowly crawled up, glanced at Lin Xi, and were too timid to speak.
When facing female insects, they can make demands and act arrogantly, but when facing male insects, especially very powerful male insects, it is like meeting a male grandfather. Not to mention saying a word, they dare not even breathe loudly.
Grandfather Xiong is truly the nemesis of every naughty little male insect. He is the master of all kinds of disobedience. He can’t respond when scolded or beaten.
The warship in the air discovered the insect shadow and immediately sent down a small warship. A tall and straight officer walked down from the warship. When he saw them, he immediately saluted. Linxi and Muas returned the salute.
The officer then looked at the male insect that was rolling in the mud and said, "You two honorable gentlemen, you have suffered."
The male insect was rescued, and the officer immediately called up the computer and checked the information: "Your Excellencies, this is your identity information."
"Nathani Eddy."
"Virgil Cohen."
The two insects collected fingerprints and irises, and after confirmation, they were immediately taken into the warship by the officers.
But before leaving, the two male insects subconsciously looked in Lin Xi's direction.
The officer noticed that the male insect was looking at the two benefactor insects who rescued them, and thought to himself: These two gentlemen have good tempers. After experiencing a hardship, they did not make a fuss and even knew how to be grateful.
The officer's expression softened considerably. "Your Excellencies, do you have anything else to say?"
Virgil was quick-tempered and walked quickly to Linxi, seeming to have a lot to say, but with the bug so close to him, he didn't know what to say.
Nathani spoke first: "Thank you for saving us."
Upon hearing this, Virgil awkwardly said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lin Xi smiled, then put her index finger in front of her lips and whispered, as if whispering, "There are some secrets that cannot be told."
Virgil's eyes widened, realizing his guess was correct. He opened his mouth to say something, but Nathani covered his mouth: "Of course, you can't tell anyone what you saw in there."
The officer watched all this, and it seemed that the insects were making some kind of deal, but as long as it did not harm the male insect, he would pretend not to hear it even if he heard it.
The officer smiled at Lin Xi and Muas and said, "I'm sorry, we are on a special mission and cannot invite you onto the starship, but we can send a warship to escort you away."
