Chapter 1742 Keep me alive!
This world.
Storm Star Region.
Palu star belt.
Guided by the three mercenaries, Xu Xiao quickly led Ma Han and the pigman Oink to the trading planet where the foxman Smir was located.
However, before the group could even search for Smir's whereabouts, he had already made his appearance openly.
It was as if they were waiting for them to come to them.
Faced with the oppressive aura released by Xu Xiao, the chosen one, Smir's body instinctively reacted with fear, but the contemptuous smile on his face remained unchanged.
It's just like a gambler at the gambling table who doesn't have enough money but is confident of winning!
"I wondered why I heard the harbinger of doom calling when I went out today. It turns out that the Chosen One has arrived."
Smir put his hands behind his back and spoke with a playful tone:
"Judging by your menacing appearance... you've come looking for me?"
Seeing Smir's attitude, the pigman Oink shrank back and whispered to Ma Han beside him:
"Brother Ma, this guy's got some bad intentions..."
Ma Han chuckled upon hearing this, glanced at the woman beside him, and replied in a low voice:
"We are the ones who came here."
"Were those Palu people who went missing before kidnapped by you?" Xu Xiao asked Smir with a furrowed brow.
I thought the Oglin fox on the other side would deny it as they had done in previous meetings.
Unexpectedly, this time, Smir nodded directly and admitted it without any attempt to hide it!
"That's right, I'm the one who kidnapped her."
"So you finally admitted it! Hurry up and tell us where they're hiding!?" Ma Han glared angrily and said fiercely.
The pigman Oink anxiously followed up with another question:
"Where are my nephew Xiaoxuan and his wife Maggie? How are they doing?!"
Despite the two men's emotional outbursts, Smir's smile remained unchanged.
Even his body, which had been trembling due to Xu Xiao's pressure, calmed down.
If you had previously considered him as a gambler, you would have had a 60% chance of winning.
Now, the probability has clearly risen to 80%!
"Don't get excited, everyone." Smir pressed his hands down and said calmly:
"You've captured all the mercenaries I sent out. Three witnesses, the evidence is irrefutable!"
"I can't deny it, and I can't run away."
"So let's talk things out calmly, sit down and discuss it slowly..."
"I'll talk your ass off!" Ma Han could no longer hold back. He lunged forward and grabbed Smir by the collar.
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better tell us where they're hiding right now!"
"Otherwise, I have eighteen ways to make you wish you were dead!"
"If you kill me, you won't be able to find where I'm hiding anymore." Smir's lips curled into an even wider smile.
Everyone could clearly sense that the Oglin fox's chances of winning had risen to 90%.
"Ma Han, let him go," Xu Xiao said softly.
He then turned to look at Smir, his eyes filled with even more complex emotions.
"Just tell me, what are your conditions?"
"Truly worthy of being called the Chosen One!" Smir suddenly exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.
"Not only is he incredibly strong, but his thinking is also exceptionally sharp!"
"Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore."
"If you want me to tell you where those Palu slaves are hidden, it's simple. Just sign a sworn contract with me first."
"Look at how ugly you are, you've got pretty high and mighty dreams!" Ma Han's hand, which had just loosened its grip on Smir's collar, couldn't help but clench again.
"What gives you the right to negotiate with us?!"
"Do you really think that if you don't tell us, we won't be able to find out where they're hiding?"
"If you had known, why didn't you say so sooner?" Smir grinned, revealing a set of ugly, yellow teeth.
"You son of a bitch!" Ma Han was furious, and the air around him began to distort due to the rising heat.
If Xu Xiao hadn't spoken up again to stop him, Ma Han would probably have used his innate ability in his rage and turned Smir into a roasted fox.
"Ma Han, let him continue!"
Smir chuckled, looking incredibly smug.
"Yes, let me continue."
"Your time is precious, don't waste it on a useless nobody like me..."
"What are the contents of the contract?" Before Ma Han could say anything more, Xu Xiao interrupted and asked directly.
“It’s very simple.” Smir turned his head to meet the woman’s gaze, his confidence reaching its peak at that moment.
"As long as you can keep me alive, that's enough."
"In return, I will tell you the whereabouts of all the missing Palu people, not one of them."
"I can't grant you immortality," Xu Xiao replied with a frown after a brief moment of thought.
“Of course, I’m not greedy enough to want to live forever,” Smir chuckled.
"All I want is for you to save me if I'm killed by someone else."
"If I reach the end of my life and die naturally, then it has nothing to do with you."
"I have already specified the specific details in the contract. You can take a good look at it, Chosen One."
After saying that, Smir immediately pulled out a vow contract from his storage item.
The text above is short, and the content described is almost identical to what Smir said.
This guy's request wasn't unreasonable; he just wanted Xu Xiao to save his life.
Ma Han stared at the contract and read it over and over again, feeling that there was something wrong with it.
But when you actually ask him to say it, you can't find any flaws.
No matter how you look at it, it's just the blunt request of a coward who's afraid of death.
Xu Xiao clearly thought so too.
Before Ma Han could reach a conclusion, the woman placed her hand on the contract and signed it.
Sensing that the rules were in effect, Smir's grin widened even further.
As if he had unloaded the last burden from his heart, he turned around decisively and walked back the way he came.
As he walked, he didn't forget to turn back and wave to the group:
“Come on, I’ll take you to find those Palu slaves.”
at the same time.
On a large ship with black sails.
Wu Siyuan, who had just activated [Tracing], opened her eyes and spoke with a solemn expression:
"found it."
"Have you found those missing Palu people?" Lin Shou, standing to the side, seemed to have been injected with a stimulant, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Yes, I could sense it suddenly." Wu Siyuan's breathing was a little rapid, clearly indicating that she had expended a lot of mental and physical energy.
"It's as if someone deliberately made their presence known..."
"Where is the location? Does it match the coordinates Elisa gave?" Nikita asked as he steered the ship at full speed.
"The exact location is still unclear, but the general direction is the same," Wu Siyuan responded earnestly.
"They must be on the same planet."
"As long as the direction is right!" A ruthless glint appeared in Nikita's eyes:
"Everyone, get ready for battle! Keep your eyes peeled and observe carefully!"
"If it is discovered that the enemy is attacking the Holy Mother, there is no need to report it; take the necessary restrictive measures directly!"
