Forget about Xuan Gang for now; we can discuss it when we have a chance later. If we don't run now, it'll be hard to escape once they're free!
As the saying goes, ideals are grand, but reality is harsh!
They hadn't fled far when they heard the swooshing sound of spaceships behind them.
Looking back, they saw that the unidentified spaceships were also fleeing, and remarkably, they had chosen the same direction!
"Damn it, don't come over here!"
Fang Er, after just one glance, shouted at the spaceships with a terrified expression.
However, they were flying so high, and the distance between them wasn't short, with the hull of the spaceships in between. How could those people possibly hear what he was shouting?
In the blink of an eye, those spaceships had arrived beside them.
Seeing the Luo Mo spaceship about to catch up from behind, Fang Er hardened his heart, reached behind him, grabbed Xue Rengui, and threw him towards the unidentified spaceships.
"Little Gui Gui, hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Rengui felt his body suddenly airborne.
"Oh my god! Duke... I was wrong..."
With his body in mid-air, Xue Rengui's face turned ashen with fear. Their current altitude was at least several thousand meters above the ground.
If he fell, he doubted even a trace of him would remain!
After him, Su Dingfang was also thrown by Fang Er.
Immediately after, he himself leaped and jumped above the unidentified spaceships.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No matter who these people were, seeing how they had been fiercely engaged with the Luo Mo spaceships, they should be able to talk.
The sound of the three of them landing successively on the ship's top seemed to alert the people inside.
A round object rose from the top of the spaceship and scanned the three of them.
Then, the spaceship suddenly opened a gap, and a large, green head, resembling an octopus, emerged from within.
This sudden appearance of the head nearly scared Fang Er to death.
Damn, how should I describe it...
"Hahahaha, so you are the infamous Jones Space Pirates!"
"I've heard so much about you! Judging by your majestic appearance, it truly is better to meet than to hear about you!"
"Come, come, this is my first time meeting you. A small token of my appreciation, please don't mind, Commander Jones."
With that, he casually took out a bottle of 'Men Daolü' and handed it over.
He just wondered if this fellow would turn into pickled octopus after drinking it.
The octopus-like creature, Jones, looked at the shiny stainless steel pot with great interest. After asking how to open it, he brought it closer and sniffed.
"Ah..."
Seeing him open his mouth, Fang Er sensed something was amiss and quickly pulled Xue Rengui to shield him.
As expected, in the next second, the octopus-like Jones let out a huge sneeze.
"Achoo!"
Xue Rengui looked utterly bewildered!
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
What's with this snot-covered face???
Seemingly feeling awkward, the octopus-like creature forced a smile that looked worse than crying and gestured towards the inside of the spaceship, saying, "Quick, quick, come inside and talk!"
Fang Er didn't stand on ceremony. Lying on his backside on the ship was chilly, and with the Luo Mo spaceships still pursuing them, it would be better to go inside and weather the storm.
The three of them followed the octopus-like creature into the spaceship. At this moment, they finally got a clear view of the creature's full form.
Calling him an octopus-like creature was not an exaggeration in the slightest...
Not only was his head covered in octopus tentacles, but his lower body was also covered in eight thick, bucket-like octopus claws!
Fang Er could only imagine what would happen if Li Tai were here; he would probably have grabbed a knife and sliced it up...
Led by the octopus-like creature, they walked through the spaceship's corridors and arrived at a spacious area resembling a conference hall.
In the hall, besides two creatures identical to the octopus-like one, there were a few other peculiar beings who looked up at Fang Er and his companions upon hearing their footsteps.
One large and one small, two creatures that looked like tree stumps.
And several others with mantis-like claws, slender bodies, and four large eyes.
Moreover, Fang Er surprisingly saw two Luo Mo people here!
As expected, be it pirates or space pirates, they all seemed to be a group of like-minded fellows who banded together, regardless of their race!
"Three friends, allow me to introduce myself. I am Buyun Buyu, the副团长 (deputy leader) of the Jones Space Pirates!"
As they entered the hall, one of the Luo Mo people stood up and smiled at Fang Er.
"Fang Anzhi!" Fang Er stated his name directly.
He neither changes his name nor leaves his surname. Second Master is just that straightforward!
Of course, if it were within the Milky Way, it might depend on the situation...
Xue Rengui and the other beside him followed suit and introduced themselves.
"Xue Rengui!"
"Su Dingfang!"
Buyun Buyu frowned. What strange names!
But then he dismissed the doubt. With a population of over 17 billion Luo Mo people, it wasn't that difficult to accept that a few individuals might have strange names.
Just then, the octopus-like creature also began speaking in the Luo Mo language. He laughed heartily, placed the bottle of Men Daolü on the table, and said to the others.
"Hahahaha, come, come, this is the gift that Brother Fang just gave this commander. Everyone, take a look!"
