Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Fortunately, space pirates have been rampant recently, and they were prepared to deal with them long before they set out. "Teacher Mingyuan, Miss Jiuyue, let's go meet the space pirates."

There was nothing more reassuring than the presence of the two major combatants on the Ranger.

The pirates were very efficient. As soon as the three walked out of the mayor's mansion, they were surrounded by a group of mechanized troops wearing exoskeleton armor. In addition to armor and kinetic firearms, they were also equipped with drones, combat robots and other sophisticated equipment.

"Come to attend the summit?"

The leader said jokingly, "It seems that the navigation mark given to you by the Chamber of Commerce is not accurate enough, causing you to be forced to land in this godforsaken place. But you should have heard from the people in the town that this is the territory of the Oasis. Since you happened to pass by here, it would be unreasonable not to leave a toll."

"what price?"

The third prince asked.

"Money, water, weapons, and women."

The last sentence was directed to Jiu Yue. He licked his lips while speaking. In this remote place, they had not had any meat for a long time.

"Mr. Mingyuan, leave it to me. They called on me!"

Instead of being panicked, September became excited.

What was happening now was exactly the same as the plot in the novel - he had just arrived and was being targeted by the local thugs.

It is difficult to encounter such thrilling scenes on the Blue Planet.

After receiving Duan Mingyuan's affirmative look, Jiu Yue walked straight towards the pirates. The pirates seemed to have sensed something was wrong and aimed their weapons at Jiu Yue at the same time.

"Tsk, are there any combatants on this shabby aircraft?"

Jiu Yue looked thin and had no decent weapons. Although it was a pity, for the sake of safety, he ordered, "Go ahead and get rid of the combatants."

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire.

The leader covered his chest tightly. Just now, a bullet fired from behind hit him.

The exoskeleton armor that was supposed to provide protection failed. The kinetic bullet left a huge hole in his body, and he couldn't cover the flowing blood with his hands.

Shocked and angry, he turned around to look at the person who shot him, but what he saw was a ground full of broken limbs and arms.

What on earth happened just now?

The scene behind him was beyond his comprehension. Based on his years of battlefield experience, he concluded that these people had died in crossfire, and their deaths were so tragic that it seemed like they had just experienced a local war.

The war machines brought also spontaneously combusted and exploded.

The woman in front of them seemed to do nothing, just standing there and watching them.

When the leader looked at her again, she waved goodbye in a friendly manner.

Jiu Yue finally found an opportunity to say the lines she had read in the comics, which she had personally processed, "If you want to take my head, you have to bring your fleet over here."

After that, she turned to Duan Mingyuan with great joy, "How about it, Mr. Mingyuan, isn't this line very cool?"

While she was excited, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

These bandits were the worst of the worst. After dealing with Changzhi for so long, she almost forgot what it felt like to be among the worst of the worst.

Trapped in the barrier, every bullet they fired would take their own life or the life of their teammates.

However, the mayor looked as pale as death, and fell to his knees with a plop in fear.

These outsiders are very powerful, perhaps even the space pirates are no match for them, but they will not stay in the small town forever.

After they leave, these space pirates will definitely take their anger out on the residents of the small town.

They are all demons who kill without blinking an eye. If the supplies handed over are insufficient, they will randomly select residents in the town and blow their heads off in front of everyone.

They must find a way to get everyone away from here. This is their only chance of survival.

But outside the town is an endless desert. How can their footsteps compare to the sophisticated equipment of the space pirates?

"Puff-"

The leader of the Oasis team also fell to the ground along with the mayor due to excessive blood loss.

His face sunk into the hot sand and darkness was about to envelop him.

Somewhere in the dark, he heard footsteps coming towards him.

He was the companion of the unknown woman.

The last the leader saw was the man standing in front of the broken battle robot, the damaged parts repaired in a way he could not understand.

Then, his body was turned over and the man removed the emblem from his exoskeleton armor.

This is their military registration card.

The military registration card was delivered to the combat robot, along with a poster that appeared to be a portrait of a man.

"Give this to your leader."

This is the last thing a leader hears.

——"Please give me some face and don't come to this town again."

I wish you all a happy 520~

Chapter 249 Mirage

Duan Mingyuan felt that this era was becoming more and more magical.

If you state your identity and intentions in a peaceful and friendly manner, they will steal your supplies, kidnap you and your crew, and demand a large ransom from your planet.

If you kill their people and let the combat robots take back the dead's military registration cards, they will actually consider your suggestion seriously.

Of course, some more extreme people would cut off the bandits' heads after killing them and hang them on wooden stakes at the entrance of the village as a deterrent, but that would be a bit too extreme. Duan Mingyuan and the crew of the Ranger were obviously not a group of extremists.

Not long after the combat robots returned, the leader of the space pirate organization immediately attached great importance to it, contacted the town immediately, expressed his most sincere apologies to the residents of the town, and promised to return all the supplies from the past few months and never set foot in the town again.

These negotiations once again confirmed that this is truly a magical era.

It also indirectly proves the difficult living environment of good people today.

They will be held at gunpoint, or perhaps even murdered if no ransom can be extorted from them.

Not long after the Ranger left, another aircraft landed near the town. Before the townspeople transported the pirates' bodies away, people wearing exoskeleton armor hurried over and recorded the tragic scene with the cameras they carried with them.

After collecting enough first-hand information, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What a beautiful day, isn't it?"

Owl exclaimed.

But the residents around him who were still in shock could not empathize with him. Instead, they looked at him with perverted eyes.

All they knew was that a patrol of space pirates rushed into the town, and after a burst of "crackling" gunfire, all that was left was a pile of broken limbs. They could only suppress their nausea and move the bodies outside the village.

Because the strong smell of blood will attract monsters living in the desert.

Scarcity of resources, pirates, and monsters hiding beneath the sand - this is their daily life.

"There's water on my craft. Lots and lots of water."

The owl smiled.

Now smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of the townspeople.

It was a truly wonderful day. Two groups of people had brought them precious water. What was even more exciting was that the mayor had just told them all that the pirates from the oasis would never bother them again.

They will each have a large glass of water tonight.

The water has not been stained by wind and sand and is mixed with a strange smell.

What more could they ask for?

"In addition to water, I also brought some stories. By the way, those people probably didn't tell you about their identities, right?"

"But as you can see Mr. Adventurer, I'm afraid there's nothing in our town that would interest you."

"On the contrary, I am interested in everything here - I plan to exchange water and stories for a house and your past experiences."

Owl opened the chips, and he was very confident about it.

In fact, as long as the person he deals with is not a master of nonsense literature like Duan Mingyuan, he can always communicate well with the other party.

"I believe you will be very interested in the story I bring to you - because it is the story of the most dangerous rebel in the universe."

....................................

Duan Mingyuan and his group arrived at the location marked on the map before dark.

What appeared before them was still an endless desert, without even a ghost in sight. This also explained why the Oasis had taken root on the surface of the Mechanical Star for so long but had not been able to threaten the nobles on the throne.

Even with the marks on the map, they would not be able to find the entrance to the throne without the guidance of specific people.

You should know that this planet was once the hometown of cosmic-level great craftsmen. Almost half of the craftsmen who can be named are from Jiqiao Star. However, with the decline of Jiqiao Star, more and more outstanding craftsmen left their planet, and the Universal Company and the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce opened a convenient door for them.

The only connection between Jiqixing and the Great Craftsmen Association today is the one of sentiment.

"Then the question is, who will guide us?"

September raised the question on the crew's minds.

The desert climate is scorching hot during the day and so cold at night that it can cause hypothermia. It is the least suitable area for human habitation. They have been running in the desert for too long today. She definitely doesn't want to camp on the ground in such a haunted place at night.

The skin of a 19-year-old girl is very delicate. She doesn't want her skin to become dry and turn into a yellow-faced woman.

All she wanted now was a hot bath.

The Third Prince had told her that the luxurious hotel at the Artful Throne was second to none in the entire universe, with the most luxurious bathing kits. If nothing unexpected had happened, she should have been soaking in warm water with snacks provided by the hotel.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's a crow."

Duan Mingyuan still remembered the agreement he made with the extraditioner codenamed Oath when he was in the academy. Before leaving, the other party promised him that he would come to pick them up when they arrived at Jiqiao Star.

Of course, the premise is that no accidents happen.

Mr. Oath's situation was not good before he left Blue Star. He said that the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce was targeting him.

During that period, Carloya's flagship had not yet left the airspace of Blue Star. God knows what kind of wonderful encounters would happen between Crow and the Chamber of Commerce representatives.

"Are you sure it's a crow?"

This was the first time the Third Prince heard Duan Mingyuan mention the crow, but it was clearly not a good sign.

Because before the Ranger set sail, he suddenly saw a strange circle of friends.

"Today is the Crow Feast, which is said to be a special delicacy of Blue Star."

The publisher is Carloya.

The location was the banquet hall on her flagship. She was wearing a red evening gown and elegantly holding a goblet. The crow seemed to have been carefully cooked into two dishes.

The body is grilled and served with black truffle sauce.

The offal is fried and served with bread.

The third prince looked through his circle of friends and could still find this photo.

Now, combined with what Duan Mingyuan said about becoming the crow's ferryman, he finally understood the mystery of this photo.

"oath--!"

When Jiuyue saw the photo, tears welled up on her face.

Her heart was indeed filled with sadness. If she had known that Crow would be caught by Shanqi Chamber of Commerce after leaving Yunhai Academy, it would have been better for him to be eaten by them in the academy.

Such a death would bring satisfaction and pleasure to his friends, and was better than death at the hands of his enemies.

"Don't be nervous, the person at the table is not him."

Duan Mingyuan saw the flaw at once, "Kaloya said that she doesn't eat sweets and intelligent creatures. The former is a personal preference, and the latter is the doctrine of the Semitic people."

As for whether the extradited person is still alive, it remains for him to verify.

As he spoke, he turned on the player in his mobile phone, selected the sound of crows' cries, and turned the volume up to maximum.

The neighing sound was sharp and hoarse, causing everyone present to frown at the same time.

"Hey, turn it off! I'm suing you for disturbing the public!"

A familiar sound came from under his feet. Stimulated by the crow's cry, this person learned the "Earth Escape - Heart Beheading Technique" without any instruction. He grabbed Duan Mingyuan's ankle and dragged him into the sand.

"First of all, how many times have I told you that crows are just mimics!"
