Chapter 85: My Friend, Good Luck

"Disheveled? I think it's not too bad."

The other person laughed, unclear whether it was mockery or agreement. "This hole is certainly not as bad as the injuries you've had before."

Morning Star lowered his gaze, not rebutting, allowing the small robot beside him to bandage and staunch his bleeding.

The man glanced at Morning Star from the corner of his eye, somewhat surprised. "You seem to be in a good mood."

"Maybe my mood is actually terrible at this moment. After all, even if it's bad, I can't show it directly."

"It's still different. If you were really angry, you wouldn't be in your current state. Even saying you're in a good mood is still me being subtle. Morning Star, you're happy, aren't you? After all, the little prince you've known since childhood has grown better than you thought. He even anticipated that you would definitely take back your little robot. If you hadn't just exported D3-857's data but had taken him with you, perhaps something even more interesting would have happened."

Morning Star's gaze darkened; no one liked having their thoughts so thoroughly guessed by others.

He said coldly, "If you keep rambling on, I won't hesitate to shoot you."

The man seemed to find this amusing, his smile broadening. "Then you can try. I don't care much about having a few more holes in me, but this starship can only be piloted by me. If you shoot me, we'll both go down together."

After laughing enough, he became slightly serious. "If you didn't get what you wanted, was this trip a waste? Is our grand plan about to stall?"

"It's not completely a waste. Whether it's Chi Zhuo or Ji Chenxi, both are ultra S-class alphas. This news is far more precious than the database we wanted. If they can become my subjects for research, I will make significant progress quickly."

While chatting with Morning Star, the pilot of the starship maneuvered rapidly. This was a starship equipped with a color-changing cloaking system, which was why he could easily infiltrate when the palace's defenses were wide open. However, their starship had now been completely locked onto by someone, rendering cloaking and color-changing useless. The man was piloting the starship away quickly—if it weren't for the large red bird in front of him blocking the way.

The beautiful red bird was at least ten meters tall, its voice resonant, possessing sonic wave attacks, and the flames it emitted were unlike ordinary fire.

Morning Star immediately recognized whose spiritual entity this was: the ancient divine beast Zhuque. Perhaps this bird differed greatly from the Zhuque in mythology, but anyone who had seen this spiritual entity was willing to call it Zhuque due to its far surpassing strength of S-class. In fact, it was true; the leader of the First Star Pirate Group was code-named Zhuque, with rumors suggesting that his spiritual power was double S-class. But rumors are just rumors; this leader was very mysterious, and few knew him. Even Morning Star took some effort to get acquainted with him initially and invited him into their group.

"Gu Hechuan," Morning Star coldly uttered.

From the moment he befriended Crow during their Gu Hechuan and introduced Crow to their small group, Morning Star should have guessed.

Crow was a friend of Ji Chenxi, so he would naturally lean towards Ji Chenxi. Now, what about Gu Hechuan, who was very interested in Crow? Between old friends he had known for years and a new friend he liked, how would he choose? Now Morning Star understood the other party's choice.

The communicator beeped. Morning Star shot a cold glance and finally decided to answer, "Gu Hechuan."

"Oh, what a surprise, Morning Star, you actually picked up my call," the red-haired alpha said with obvious delight.

"I don't think it's difficult to pick up your call. But Gu Hechuan, why are you blocking my way with your spiritual entity while also communicating with me?"

"After knowing each other for so many years, I feel I need to give you a word of advice. Right now, it's my spiritual entity blocking you. Later, it could be a venomous snake. You've studied human bodies for so many years; you should know how many people the spiritual entity of a venomous snake has consumed, right?"

Was the seven-meter-long black mamba the true standard of Chi Zhuo's spiritual entity? Certainly not; if it were, it would be an insult to Ares' 3S-class status. They had only exchanged blows briefly, but Morning Star already had some deductions in mind. At the very least, the other party was also a double S-class, and Chi Zhuo was very likely a 3S.

What would it be like when a 3S-class alpha reveals the true form of his spiritual entity? Morning Star thought of Ares, who lost control and destroyed an entire laboratory under absolute defense and force. Higher levels inevitably made it more difficult to control one's power and easier to lose control. Morning Star did not want to face an out-of-control giant python, but he knew there was no turning back once the bow was drawn.

"Gu Hechuan, it's a bit late for you to advise me now."

"If I had come earlier, you might not have listened anyway!"

"Are you going to stop me?"

"You guys really put me in a difficult position, but I plan to help you this once."

Morning Star was slightly surprised, then heard Gu Hechuan continue, "Next time we meet, I won't hold back. After all, I'm quite curious if you can escape from that person after getting past me."

The massive red bird suddenly flapped its wings, sending even the sturdy starship flying. The giant bird spewed flames, igniting the starship. As the starship activated its emergency functions, it sped away even faster than before.

Gu Hechuan faintly heard someone shouting angrily from the other side. The voice clearly did not come from Morning Star. Gu Hechuan chuckled with delight, "My friend, good luck to you."
