Xinli looked up and saw Jing Xia rolled up the dirty sleeves of her pajamas, revealing her fair and delicate arms. She tightened the black wrist guard on her left wrist, grabbed the cage door and pulled it... but there was no movement.
“…”
"This cage is made of magnetic crystal, and it will block the mental power and strength of S-level and below. Your cage is designed specifically for Blue Star people. Xiao Xia, you are also from Blue Star, right? You can't get out without a key."
Seeing Jing Xia's bewildered expression, Xin Li sighed, his anger fading. He was trapped in a magnetic crystal cage specifically for Blue Star people. Aside from the SS-ranked Blue Star Major General in the Central Galaxy, no other Blue Star people could escape. These pirates were really desperate to sell Xiao Xia, even taking out this cage.
"Then why am I locked up here?" Jing asked in confusion.
Jing Xia leaned against the cage, head tilted, stroking the scale-like patterns on the black wristband as she silently recalled her experience: after being whipped, she entered the spatial gap, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was in this cage. And the talent Uncle Xin mentioned must be the spiritual power from her mother. Awakening the talent must be awakening the spiritual power...
"I... I know." A soft voice sounded, and Tina poked her head out from Xinli's arms, her pointed ears twitching.
"Huh? How did you know?"
"Grandpa, you were sleeping at that time..."
"Oh...baby, keep talking, don't worry about grandpa."
"Okay, Grandpa was still asleep at that time. I saw the warehouse door open, and those pirates brought in the little brother, the cage, and a bunch of other things over there. They were talking about the Zerg, the ruins... picking up bargains, the big pit... the Blue Star people..."
Tina spoke intermittently about the conversation between the pirates that she remembered, and the other two also understood a little from her baby voice.
"So, these pirates went to a Zerg-invaded planet to pick up some spoils, and then they found you in the ruins?"
Xinli was directly surprised by the audacity of these star pirates. You know, ever since the Zerg emperor disappeared inexplicably, the Zerg has been out of control. Their brutal and bloodthirsty nature has led them to invade one planet after another, and no living organism can survive wherever they pass.
How dare these pirates go to a Zerg-occupied planet to pick up spoils?! Aren't they afraid of encountering the remaining Zerg and wiping them out?!
No, wouldn't it be better if the whole group was wiped out... Should Xinli now say how "awesome" or "stupid" the pirate group that kidnapped him is?
“…”
Jing Xia felt that the experience of being picked up like garbage by these star thieves might be a major black history in his life.
"What's going on with that big pit? How could Xiao Xia appear on the planet after the Zerg invasion?" Xinli couldn't help but wonder again.
Silently reaching out to touch his slightly aching butt, Jing Xia recalled the force of someone else's tail whip and thought the large dent might have been caused by the impact of the blow. Thinking of Xinli's affirmative tone, regarding me as a weak Blue Star, he swallowed the words that were about to come out. Hmm, it's not good to scare the old man...
Jing Xia asked Xin Li some more questions about the interstellar world and discovered that the supposedly "interstellar common sense" his unscrupulous father had cram schooled him with the night before his departure was merely the power breakdown of various systems within the interstellar system. He began to seriously doubt how his father, obsessed with power, had managed to woo his gentle and virtuous mother.
Interstellar people's abilities are divided into spiritual and physical abilities, with common levels ranging from F to S, with SS being the highest. There are also a very small number of people with abilities that can transform into beasts, as well as beasts without humanoid forms. In the Interstellar Empire's military, the lowest rank is S-level.
I don't know how long it took...
The dim warehouse was still filled with visible dust, and items of all sizes were piled together. In the cage next door, the grandfather and grandson fell asleep from hunger and fatigue, trying to minimize energy consumption.
After Jing Xia was sure that the two were asleep, he walked to the cage door, raised his hand and placed it on the door lock, concentrating his mental strength. He heard a click and the lock opened.
The boy came out of the cage, twisted his neck and stretched his body. After exercising himself, he walked to Xinli and Tina and used his mental power to check on them. After finding that they were just hungry and tired and had no other injuries, Jing Xia turned to look at other things in the warehouse.
Weapons, ores, decorations, fur, teeth and eggs of some unknown species?
His mental power paused as he scanned the area, and the egg that looked very similar to a dragon egg gave him a strange feeling. Jing Xia walked directly to the egg, gently turned over the debris on the surface to reveal the basketball-sized egg that was pressed underneath.
The pure black eggshell has silver stripes. If it were just like this, the egg would definitely be extremely beautiful, but the gray spots on it make the egg lose its overall luster, becoming lifeless and without any signs of life.
Jing Xia held the egg in his arms, gently stroked the smooth surface, and slowly probed his mental power into the egg, trying to find any signs of life, but found nothing.
Jing Xia frowned. If it was a dead egg, why would he feel strange?
Suddenly, a thought struck him. He immediately channeled his spiritual energy, channeling a stream of golden and blue spiritual energy mixed with his mental power into the egg. Sure enough, he discovered several chaotic yet incredibly powerful energies. These energies entangled together, inhibiting the incubation of life within the egg.
No wonder this egg gave me that feeling, it turns out it is the same as me.
Jing Xia lowered her eyelids, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her dark eyes looked at the egg that had the same experience as her.
Is this the mission we came here for this time?
He lifted the black egg and gently placed it against his forehead, saying softly, "Little one, I promise you will be born safely and grow up happily."
The golden and blue spiritual power slowly flowed into the egg, soothing and channeling the chaotic energy.
