Chapter 23: Pirate Jack

Walking with Tarzan in the dimly lit cave, Xingchen had time to observe his surroundings. The passages in the cave are zigzag and extend in all directions, and many small caves have been dug out of the walls, and from time to time there are big black heads that look like Mount Tai from the black holes, and a pair of round eyes look at the stars curiously.

When the stars turned their heads to look over, they all hid as quickly as they could, looking very timid.

Tarzan led the stars, walked for a long time, had gone to the deepest part of the cave, only to come to a very small hole, Tarzan pointed to the hole with a gesture, let the stars get in.

Although Xingchen had just met Taishan, but with intuition, Xingchen felt that the black personality in front of him was simple and sincere, and Xingchen believed that Taishan would not harm him, so he did not hesitate to bend down and burrow into the cave.

Xingchen entered the cave only to find that although the entrance of the cave is small, the cave is very spacious, and the star is more than one meter and eight meters tall and does not stand up straight, but the furnishings in the cave are very simple, and you can see the bottom at a glance.

On the edge of the cave was a stove made of earth and stone, and on top of the stove was a broken iron pot, which was steaming hot, and I don't know what was cooking, and it was black and smelling unpleasant.

By the faint light of the fire in the hearth, Xingchen saw that in the innermost part of the cave there was a bed made of trees, and on the bed lay a man, covered with a large animal skin, and there was nothing else in the cave.

Yes, the stars are not mistaken, the one lying on the bed is indeed a human race.

The man's long messy hair was scattered on the bed, and his face was full of messy beard, which he must have not groomed for a long time. If it weren't for his face and eyes, he really wouldn't have been able to tell that he was a human race.

The Terran lay there quietly. The only remaining one-eyed, hollow and dull, stared at the top of the cave like a lifeless person.

Hearing the movement at the entrance of the cave, the man slowly turned his head, and finally fixed his eyes on the stars who had entered the cave.

The man's eyes were fixed on the stars for a long time, and after seeing the star's appearance clearly, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the man's one-eye, and then he struggled to sit up.

Tarzan immediately ran over and helped him, and the man's mouth trembled, and he asked Xingchen uncertainly, you. Are you? Terran?

Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward to his bed and quickly nodded in reply, Yes, I am a Terran! Are you a Terran too? How did you end up here?

It has been more than two months since the interstellar escape landed on this planet, and at this time, Xingchen is also a little excited to see his fellow clansmen.

When the man confirmed that Xingchen was really a human race, he was even more excited, his breathing was short, his face was red, and he coughed continuously, Xingchen was afraid that he would turn his back on his breath, and he hung up if he couldn't take a breath.

Xingchen quickly slapped the acupuncture points on his back a few times, and the man stopped coughing and relieved himself.

After coming to the man's side, Xingchen found that one of his hands had been severed at the wrist, and the empty cuffs made his already thin body even weaker. It's just that although he is thin, his skeleton is very thick, and it can be seen that this person should be a very burly and tall person when he is strong.

In the cave, the two of them sat cross-legged, the fire in the stove pond was extinguished, and the man swept away the previous decadence, and his single eye flashed with fine light, telling his adventure.

The name of this one-eyed and one-armed Terran is Jack, and he is a Terran from the Emperor Star, which is a silver-level civilization, one level higher than the civilization of the Earth, and the Alpha Star is about a thousand light-years away from the lucky star at his feet.

Jack left his hometown of Emperor Star when he was young, and like many young people with dreams, Jack fantasized that he would one day be able to get ahead and then return home, in order to realize his dream, Jack went to a higher civilization to find opportunities, and began to wander around.

As soon as he heard that the pirate in front of him was called Jack, Xingchen felt funny, Xingchen remembered a fairy tale about Captain Jack that he had read when he was a child, and Captain Jack in the story was also a pirate, and he didn't have an eye or a hand, these two Jacks were amazingly similar, but the experience was different, and there was one in the sky and one at sea.

Could it be such a coincidence, could it be that the man named Jack was born to be a pirate? Could it be that there is really an unknown force in the dark that controls the fate of all beings? Thinking about it, Xingchen Jue is very terrifying.

Wandering Jack used to work as a miner, a coolie, and a smuggler, and after many years of wandering, Jack ended up as a mercenary.

Jack has a name on a mercenary group called Wild Dogs, which is just a third-rate mercenary organization in this star field. The regimental commander's nickname is Wild Dog, and there are only about 20 people in the regiment.

Because the regiment is poor, the wild dog mercenary group can't afford to raise people, so everyone is not together at ordinary times, and only after the regiment commander receives the business, will the members be called together. The strength of the wild dog mercenary group is not high, and it usually only undertakes some low-difficulty businesses such as escorting goods and bodyguards.

Although the mercenary profession makes money quickly in the universe, it is also a profession that begs for money on the edge of the knife, which is extremely dangerous.

While escorting a shipment of ore, the convoy escorted by the Wolf Mercenary Regiment was attacked by a pirate group called the SEALs.

Although Jack killed several pirates in the battle with these pirates, in the end, the Wild Dog Mercenaries were outnumbered, and most of them were killed.

Seriously wounded, Jack lay on the ground waiting for death, and he knew very well in his heart that the interstellar pirates were only doing murder and overkill, and would never mercifully leave any alive, let alone kill their own people.

But what Jack didn't expect was that the leader of the pirates didn't order Jack to be killed.

It may be because of the same Terran, that Terran pirate leader actually let Jack go, or it may be that he took a fancy to Jack's courage and good fighting, and finally did not kill Jack.

But the other members of the Wolf Mercenary Regiment were not as lucky as Jack, and they were all killed, and Jack was the only survivor.

Since then, Jack has joined the Seal Regiment and become an interstellar pirate who licks blood from the knife edge and kills people and goods.

The Terran leader of the SEAL Regiment is very important to Jack, coupled with Jack's flexible mind and extraordinary skills, he slowly made a lot of fame in the SEAL Regiment, and finally climbed to the position of the second leader and lived a prosperous pirate adventure life.
