Chapter 48: Maneuvering Space

“Ah ...

It screamed and rushed forward. When it saw Lu Xun's face becoming increasingly clear, it suddenly activated its defense mechanism, turned itself into a flat ball and hugged his face.

Lu Xun still didn't know what had happened.

He had just seen Pei Du's figure emerge from the bushes, and his face seemed to be stuck by something, so heavy that his entire vision turned dark.

"What the hell is this thing!" Lu Xun stretched out his hand to pull it towards his face. Seeing this, Gouchu Tuosheng quickly retracted the human face suction plate and flew to the side while crawling.

Lu Xun was about to reach out to grab it, but the moment his vision cleared, Pei Du, who had approached him out of nowhere, suddenly threw him to the ground.

"Pei Du--" Lu Xun was a soldier after all. He reacted quickly and grabbed Pei Du's neck with his backhand and tightened it.

Pei Du ignored it all. After a dull sound, Pei Du grabbed the pistol and put the muzzle against Lu Xun's head.

"Commander, don't act rashly." Pei Du's throat tasted blood, and he lowered his voice and said, "You know, I'm just an alien. I haven't used a gun much, so it's normal for me to accidentally discharge it."

Lu Xun stopped moving instantly. He stared at Pei Du and sneered: "Pei Du, you want to kill me?"

"Commander, I didn't mean that. From the beginning until now, you have always been the one who refused to let us go. Lin Xuqiu is also an alien. Do you think that just because you captured me and Sheng Shixian, he can stay out of it?" Pei Du said.

Lu Xun's mouth was still raised in a mocking manner: "So?"

"I heard that the commander is carrying out reforms in the military and wants to incorporate aliens into the army, but because of too much opposition and resistance, it has never been implemented. In fact, I can help you with this matter."

Pei Du had loaded his pistol. He pressed the muzzle of his gun against Lu Xun's forehead and threatened, "We win together, or we die together today."

Lu Xun's expression turned cold, and he stared at Pei Du with his sharp eyes like a hawk. The atmosphere was stagnant, and he spoke again after a few minutes: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Pei Du was relieved when he heard the soothing tone in Lu Xun's words. Lu Xun had a hot temper and a stubborn personality, so it was not easy to make him relax.

"Commander, I will do my best to help you. But as a condition, you must let Sheng Shixian go." Pei Du said, "Don't cut off even a strand of his tail."

Lu Xun seemed to have heard some kind of joke, and he said, "I'm sorry, I can't control Lin Xuqiu either. But judging from his skills, he might have already cut off several of his tails by now."

Pei Du was not too emotional when he heard this: "Really, Commander? Then I may not be able to control the bullets in my gun."

Lu Xun felt the pressure from the muzzle of the gun, he sneered, and was forced to stand up by Pei Du from behind.

"Go forward."

Pei Du paid attention to the movement in front. The sounds of the fight between Sheng Shixian and Lin Xuqiu had become much quieter. There were so many explosions before, but now only the occasional ground shaking could be heard.

The light of the eagle retaliated and pressed down on Pei Du's head. Pei Du looked at it, and it immediately turned up the light to light the way.

After walking for about ten minutes, Pei Du passed through the dense forest and saw two figures in a stalemate.

Sheng Shixian had been forced to the edge of the cliff. The long tail behind him had been retracted at some point. His face was gloomy and had several obvious cuts and scratches.

Lin Xuqiu was squatting on top of a huge rock not far away. The wound on his face was not healed much. There was a crack at the corner of his mouth, and he was wiping the blood from the wound with his sleeve.

"Brother, why are you hiding your tail? Are you so timid? Let me take another look." Lin Xuqiu mocked.

Sheng Shi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was about to step forward again without saying a word.

"Stop it." Pei Du pressed his gun against the dirty part of Lu Xun's back. Lu Xun was forced to step forward and forcibly interrupted the fight between the two men in front with a shout.

Sheng Shixian saw Pei Du pause, his eyes flickered and he seemed to be suppressing his emotion as if he didn't understand why Pei Du was still here.

Pei Du slowly approached Sheng Shixian. He stood in front and blocked Lin Xuqiu's gaze from looking at Sheng Shixian. "Lin Xuqiu, step back."

The smile on Lin Xuqiu's face faded. He looked at Lu Xun from a distance and saw Lu Xun frowning at him, "Back off."

"Commander, you are really holding me back." Lin Xuqiu ignored Lu Xun's expression. He glanced at Sheng Shi enviously, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stepped back a distance.

He seemed to have made concessions, but his sharp pupils did not shrink, and he still stared at Pei Du's every move as if he was planning an attack.

"Commander, I hope you can seriously consider what I told you." Pei Du stood behind Lu Xun, intentionally blocking Sheng Shixian's figure, and said, "I have contacted the director to bring people here. I hope you can keep Lin Xuqiu's identity a secret."

Lu Xun's expression changed, "Pei Du, how dare you plot——"

Pei Du suddenly pushed Lu Xun to the front and fired three or four shots at Lin Xuqiu. Lin Xuqiu had to turn around as he rushed over. Pei Du took the opportunity to lead Sheng Shixian into a small path beside the cliff.

Sheng Shi was envious of the fact that he was still able to hold on after such a long time. However, Pei Du, although he only gave Gouqiu Tousheng 0.2 Yang Qi points, began to be exhausted after running nearly a thousand meters.

Pei Du was dizzy and seriously suspected that Gu Suo had played a trick on him, which took away more than 0.2 of the Yang energy from Pei Du.

Sheng Shi was envious of He Qimin, so he grabbed Pei Du and let him lie on his back, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Pei Du had nothing to be embarrassed about. He pressed on Sheng Shixian's back and looked at the same tooth mark scar on the side of Sheng Shixian's ear. "Mr. Sheng, thank you for your help."

Sheng Shi's jaw muscles twitched with envy, and the darkness in his eyes was filled with displeasure. In just a few seconds, he responded to Pei Du in the same unfamiliar tone, "Master Pei, it's no trouble."

Pei Du didn't say anything else. He pressed his face against the back of Sheng Shixian's neck, and his heart beat faster unconsciously.

Sheng Shixian's injuries were not serious. Although Lin Xuqiu had scratched him with a lot of marks, Sheng Shixian had a first-class recovery ability, and his physical fitness had doubled after the second transformation.

Pei Du could only see the dark scenes before him overlapping and changing one after another. He could hardly estimate where they were now, and was being led around on the mountain path by Sheng Shixian.

Sheng Shixian finally arrived at an unknown place, which seemed to be an abandoned house built on a barren mountain. Before Pei Du had time to take a closer look, he saw Sheng Shixian violently kicking the door open and throwing Pei Du inside.

Pei Du had already prepared himself mentally. He held onto a corner of the table and chair and said carefully, "Mr. Sheng..."

"Pei Du, now you know to call me Mr. Sheng, right?" Sheng Shixian pinched Pei Du's chin with one hand, the dark fire in his tone emerged, and his eyes were fixed on Pei Du's face in the dark.

"Are you tired of the game between master and dog?"
