Chapter 492: Trade-offs
Starlight saw the Moon Steward pull the messenger out of his sleeve and start contacting the Blue Star smuggling gang he had hired, so he leaned in and listened with the rest of the search team.
"Mr. Yue, what are your orders?"
"Are you still where you are?"
"Ah, Mr. Yue, have you arrived? I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We had a little accident ...... a while, well, ......, I came out for a walk, I wanted to find some materials or something, and see if we could fix it......"
"Alright, stop. Is it temporary, seeing a nearby mine, and wanting to pick up some ore and make some extra money? ”
"Not really! Mr. Yue, we really had a little accident before leaving......"
"Well, you don't have to defend yourself. I don't care what you're doing, anyway, I want you to get to the landing site of our ship just now within ten fingers. ”
The other party paused for a moment, as if to discuss with someone. Then the other person replied, "Okay! Mr. Yue, you wait for me over there, and I'll send someone to pick you up. ”
"I'm not here to pick people up. It's for you to wait for us here. We still have something to do, and we may arrive later. But we don't know exactly how much time it will take. That's why I asked you to wait there, so that we don't have to spend time looking for you when we arrive. In this way, I won't let you wait in vain, I'll add another 100,000 runes. Let's count it as a waiting fee. But you must wait where you are, and if you leave without permission again, then not only will I not pay the 100,000, but I will also deduct 500,000 yuan from the 1 million I promised last time as a fine. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I understand. We're going to rush over and wait. ”
The Moon Manager cut off the call, put away the talisman, and looked at everyone. Xingguang instinctively sensed that there was something wrong with this conversation, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. He looked at Yu Dianying, only to see that the other party nodded thoughtfully, and said, "This is the only way for now." If the Guardian catches them, whether it's through brain-eating memories or torture, they can know about the existence of their smuggling ship, then it will definitely find a way to get on that ship. Alright, let's go! ”
As she spoke, everyone opened the shield and walked out of the hatch. The spacecraft closed the hatch and slowly rose into the air, then gradually accelerated towards the sky, becoming smaller and smaller, and slowly becoming a small dot. There are Yu Juan, Xiaodou, Zhou Yiqing, Yin Dashao and others on the spaceship, and most of the others are non-martial spirits who have no force, and those of them who are left on the ground don't have to worry about the spaceship leaving them and returning directly.
Starlight was the last to step out of the ship. He looked around, found a very hidden pile of rubble, and hid a fist-sized talisman inside. He first adjusted the talisman to the prescribed posture, and then carefully covered it with rocks. He looked up and saw that the spaceship had flown without a trace, and then took out the communication charm and began to call Zhangyushu. He heard that the call message was forwarded once, and he was immediately connected.
"Communication is working here, everything is working on the ground." Starlight said.
"Communication is working here, and everything is working on the ship. Please take care! Zhang Yushu replied.
The communication distance of the communicator is determined by the performance of the communicator and the internal force strength of the user. Under normal circumstances, this distance is within a few hundred kilometers, and the farthest is only about a thousand kilometers. The overlap point between the aura torrent and the gray star's orbit is at the apogee of the orbit, about 10,000 kilometers from the gray star's surface. After the spaceship lifts off to a certain distance, ordinary communicators cannot be directly connected with each other, and can only be connected through the relay symbol. However, the Guardians had taken the Charm Generator along with the Balloon, so they had to reinstall a Charmer. This kind of talisman will emit very weak cluster runes in a directional direction, unless you are a person who is very sensitive to runes, and you happen to be standing on its emission channel, it is possible to detect its existence, otherwise it is difficult for people who do not know to find it through perception or detection equipment. But it also has a drawback, and that is because there is no supplement to Reiki, it has a limit on the period of use and the number of times it can be used.
After testing the performance of the reinstalled messenger, the call ended. Starlight put away the communication charm and took a few hurried steps, keeping up with the people who had already set off in front of him.
In the newly established group, the original team of the living area search team is basically still there, but Fu Yisui was left on the ship because he had no combat power, and Yu Dianying, Yue Guan and Xi Ziya joined in. Eventually, the ship's simple amulets for maintenance personnel were not used, and the team members solicited three better amulets from the other passengers for those who did not have them. At the same time, they also used disaster shields to lock up ten miners to accompany them, which could be used as laborers and bait to trap monsters if necessary. At this time, the ten miners were being escorted by Xizi Cliff, walking in the direction of the mine at the front of the entire procession.
"Be on guard!" Starlight received a warning message from Jin Jianfeng in the middle of the ground. He glanced behind him, didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and looked ahead again. He saw that Jin Jianfeng had manifested all the immeasurable swords in his right arm, and he was in a state of imminent battle that could be activated at any time. Yang Qifeng walked on the left side of the team, his hands in his sleeves, and a pair of indifferent eyes scanned the movement on the left. The Moon Manager rubbed the top-level talisman bone in his hand and watched the movement on the right nonchalantly. Yu Dianying walked behind Jin Jianfeng, observing the surrounding environment while thinking about something. Yue Lingzhi's wound was no longer in serious trouble after being treated by the doctor, he was now walking behind Yu Dianying, in addition to constantly staring at the back of the girl in front of him, he would turn around and walk a few steps backwards from time to time, glance at Xingguang who was walking at the end, and then stagger his gaze and turn back.
Xing Guang thought to himself while observing the movements around him, Yue Lingzhi, the silly boy, was just as fascinated by the little girl's little face as the young cook, who was decorated with makeup charms. Yun Rouxia did not agree to go on a blind date with him, which shows that this girl is very prescient. This kind of fool who can be easily charmed by a woman's appearance is indeed not a good match. But when he thought about it, he thought it was nothing strange. When he was as young as Yue Lingzhi, he was not as obsessed with the sweetness and gentleness of women as he was, and he was crazy about love. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, this is the fate of men!
He heard Yun Rouxia say that this family business was the thread that Yujuan pulled from it. But he didn't know if this was a part of Yufu's strategic layout, or if Yu Juan, as Yu Dianying's aunt, just wanted to use this trick to get rid of the extravagant hopes that Yue Lingzhi had for his niece. If it was the former, then he would be a little embarrassed to be in the middle of it. In the past 100 years, Xingfu has developed very well in terms of talent reserve and economic strength, and has surpassed the mansions of Zhou, Yang, and Yue, and has become the second largest Tianfu after Yufu. Although there is no contradiction between the two mansions on the surface, they are usually compared by others, and after a long time, the people of the two mansions will inevitably be wary of each other. If the people of Yufu think that he is making a stumbling block, and plead Yun Rouxia to disagree with this family business, then he is really at a loss.
However, he had to admire that Ufu was really talented. A little girl who had just returned from a remote area was involved in such a major task as the main force. And she has taken on the role of controlling the overall situation from the beginning, which is indeed not simple. You know, Xingguang had wanted to position himself in this role beforehand, but the information in his hands was obviously weaker than the other party, so he had to settle for the next best thing and take on the role of criminal investigation expert in the group. But he doesn't think that the other party is more advantageous than him, and it is still unknown who will win in the end, and discover the hidden secrets of the gray star.
Judging from the fact that Yu Juan and Zhou Yi were relieved to let Yu Dianying stay on the ground alone, it was impossible for Yu Dianying, who was stellar to be as weak as she looked. After all, Ufu is the head of the five heavenly surnames, and it is the top mansion on the Pink Star, and there is no one. I heard that in addition to the lack of artifacts in the rune library of Ufu, there are all kinds of good magic runes and good runes. Yu Dianying came out to carry out such a dangerous mission this time, it was impossible not to bring a few treasures with her. From this point of view, her comprehensive combat power is likely to be no weaker than the three masters of Yang Qifeng, Chief Yue, and Xiziya.
So he didn't think the Guardian would attack the team rashly. After suffering hardships, it should have estimated the strength of this team, and it is not something that it can easily win by relying on speed alone. Yu Dianying's strategy to make the people of the Blue Star Smuggling Boat wait for the Guardian in the living quarters, although it looks simple and crude, but it is very practical when you think about it. There's a good chance that the Guardian will fall for this, board the smuggling ship, and be shattered to pieces by a launcher-modified talisman cannon.
Starlight was on alert, and while his mind was racing and thinking, the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" He asked the interrogator to the front.
"I've found Xizixia and them!" Several people replied to him at the same time, messages filled with excitement.
