The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Sotoko’s face went black, as he slammed the binoculars to the ground. His expression was constantly changing, while his heart was full of hatred. He shouldn’t have listened to that old thing, then he wouldn’t have ruined his reputation with Maine. He clenched his hand. He absolutely couldn’t let Maine continue to grow. Now that he had found a flying dragon beast, maybe soon he would find a flying lion beast!

Xie Sen hadn’t expected to see Sotoko so suddenly. He noticed Maine’s hand around his waist subconsciously tightened, and when he thought about Maine and Sotoko, he couldn’t help but worry. He stretched out his left hand, and laid it on the back of Maine’s hand. Maine relaxed slightly, rested his chin on his shoulder, and hid the coldness in his eyes. “I’m fine.”

Xie Sen snickered. “Who said you weren’t fine? I just wanted to touch your hand.” He said to the black dragon, “Slow down. You’ll fall if you go too fast, and the python and the giant armored beast are still down there.”

“Mn, I’ll go down and find them now,” the black dragon said, and flew downward.

When they reached the ground, they saw the python in a coil with its head held defensively and the giant armored beast beside it. Opposite them were Huo Feng and the giant wolf beast.

Maine hugged Xie Sen, and jumped down from the back of the black dragon. Xie Sen looked at Huo Feng suspiciously. “Why are you here?”

He thought Huo Feng was taking Xue Yue to a mountain closer to the mining area. This was a long way from the mining area!

Huo Feng jumped off Xue Yue, and rubbed the side of his neck. “After we entered the mountains, Xue Yue was attracted by the energy and ran here,” he said. His eyes couldn’t help but fall on the black dragon, and he was unable to hide his surprise. “This is a flying dragon beast?”

Xie Sen nodded, “Yes,” he paused. “I hope you can keep the energy a secret.”

Huo Feng said, “Mn. I won’t say anything.”

Xie Sen smiled, and glanced at the craft flying away overhead. “Sotoko cleared?”

Huo Feng nodded. “He was released in the morning. He was in that craft?” Huo Feng wondered aloud, “What is he doing here? Especially since he just arrived and returned.”

Maine sneered, “Probably came to settle things with me, saw the flying dragon beast and thought he had no chance of winning, so he left.”

Huo Feng had heard a lot of rumors about Maine and the Cox family, so he wasn’t surprised to hear him say that. “What are you going to do? He was cleared of suspicion, and will continue to serve as the head of Mining Planet A’s garrison. If he wants to kill you here, it won’t be difficult.”

Maine said, “It’s still a bit tricky to make preparations, but it’s perfect that he came here in person,” he said with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes. “We found his private stash of gold crystal mines. If he came here, it was probably to move them.”

Huo Feng froze, then quickly understood what he meant and smiled. “In that case, we should inform the investigators as soon as possible. If we’re too slow, the investigation team might leave Mining Planet A first.”

Maine nodded in agreement. He opened his bracelet, asked Huo Feng for the contact information of the investigation office and then sent the message.

Huo Feng looked at Xie Sen. “When I tried to contact you guys earlier, your communicators were showing no signal.”

Xie Sen said, “Maybe we happened to be underground at the time.”

Huo Feng suddenly understood. “Where did you find the gold crystal mine?”
