It was gradually getting dark, but there was not a single star in the sky.

The piercing wind whips up sand and dust, and the fine particles are mixed in the air, presenting an unhealthy gray color, fluttering across this barren land.

A group of dozens of people walked on the uneven ground, with one foot deep and the other shallow.Apart from the sound of their mutual breathing, only the sound of the wind that seemed to come from beyond the sky could be heard. Sometimes it sounded like a mournful howl, and when it was quiet, it was like a hollow sob.

Among them, the man with a scar on his face let out a low curse and turned on the flashlight.

"Hey... aren't you revealing your position like this?" The light was too conspicuous in the darkness, and the companion beside him immediately said, "Quickly turn off!"

"How dangerous is this place where birds don't lay eggs? Look at how cowardly you are!" The man with the scar grinned, "If it wasn't for the loss of links between you and the delay, this list would have been completed long ago. Have to chase here?"

Their gang is interstellar mercenaries, gray areas, and they do things for money.They are more ruthless than Star Pirates, and more chaotic than Star Pirates. Like these few people, they don't know each other at all, but they just happened to accept the same task, so they got together.

A large number of people means that the bounty you get may have to be divided into several shares. Except for yourself who is fighting for jobs, it is naturally impossible to unite together.

Everyone wandered around absent-mindedly, but no one proposed to act separately.The bounty for this mission is ridiculously high, which often means greater risk.

"Shusha——" There was a slight sound, as if something was rubbing against the ground.

"who!?"

In the howling wind of the desolate star, the voice is so inaudible, but among the mercenaries there is a cosmic being with a racial talent who is extremely strong in hearing.He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, but he saw only a black hole, extending to a darker place in the depths.

Startled by his yelling, everyone immediately took out their weapons and stood on guard, their whole bodies tensed up.The man with the scar made a sullen face, and directly shone the flashlight in that direction, but——no abnormality was found.

There were no suspicious figures in the place illuminated by the light, and a few withered grass-like things were scattered randomly on the barren land, like the remnants of some dead plants that were dried in the sun.

But this is not surprising, because after they walked into this area, they could see this kind of thing all over the place.Combined with the waste dump of the starless star that I saw earlier, it may be some industrial waste or domestic waste, which happened to be blown everywhere by the wind.

A few dead grasses were carried by the wind and rolled to the scar man's feet. He kicked them away indifferently, looked back at the cosmic man who "lied about the military situation", cursed sullenly, and walked forward.

No one noticed that the kicked withered grass rose and fell like breathing, and the temperature at night became even lower.

Everyone turned around and comforted the cosmic man sincerely or falsely, but the cosmic man silently rubbed his ears several times bigger than human beings, and pursed his lips.

"... Hey, why don't you leave?" After another 10 minutes, someone noticed that the big-eared cosmic man suddenly stopped in place.

When he approached, he realized that the other party's face was pale, trembling all over, and he looked a little scary.

"What’s wrong with you……?"

The big-eared cosmic man didn't reply, his stiff eyes rolled, and a thought flashed in his mind.

How many of us are there?fifteen.

Yes, fifteen, but why... I heard hundreds of breaths.

How lively and energetic the rising and falling breaths are, filling up the entire empty land, everywhere... there is no way to escape.

He trembled.

——It’s not just us here.

—We are surrounded.

Ye Cang walked towards the target direction following the guidance of the black butterfly king flower.

As I said a long time ago, adult black butterfly flowers can spread their rhizomes all over the planet.Xiao Hei followed Ye Cang step by step under the surface, like a cute gopher making holes everywhere.

"Hey!" Xiao Hei stopped suddenly, the ground bulged, and a small piece of purple-black petals leaked from below could be vaguely seen.

"Huh? You said that the front is the territory of man-eating vines and dead mushrooms?"

"Hey!"

"You said that they have a strong sense of territory? Will ordinary people be eaten immediately when they enter?" If so, Ye Cang felt that he could just wait for the corpse to be collected.

"Hey." No, they really like to play with their prey before eating!When the prey becomes half dead, they will try their best to rescue it!I can't help it anymore.

Ye Cang thought this is not a cat?After catching a mouse, don't rush to eat it, but play to death slowly?

Ye Cang walked into this area, but just after walking for a short distance, he saw a young man with big ears who was obviously not human running out, with blood on his face, rolling and crawling.

The face of the other party was distorted due to excessive emotion, and he suddenly stumbled and fell a few meters away from Ye Cang, with a heavy panting sound coming out of his throat, he hoarsely stretched out towards Ye Cang. He raised his hand: "Save...!"

His vision had long been blurred by sweat and tears, and he couldn't see the specific appearance in front of him at all. He only subconsciously thought that Ye Cang was one of his companions.

As for some sense of disobedience, such as this "companion"'s overly calm posture and neat clothes, he didn't even have time to think about it.

Ye Cang glanced at the big-eared young man, saw something, and suddenly said: "I'm bothering you so late, I hope you won't be angry... eh? Not angry, very happy? Then I can rest assured."

These words are light and sweet, like a gentle and slow wind, it is the tone that many people can feel good about when they hear it.

However, the young man didn't feel at ease. Instead, a chill suddenly came from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body became cold.

...Who was he talking to just now?

At this time, the young man finally calmed down a little. The severe pain from his ankle made him realize that he had temporarily lost his ability to move.

He had to grit his teeth, and slowly raised his head to follow Ye Cang's direction.

How strange, it was obviously a dark night where you couldn't see your fingers, and there was no light source between the sky and the earth, but he could clearly see the appearance of that person.

Those emerald eyes were silently watching him with a slight smile.

This is obviously not any one of the people he knows, because each of them is in a mess because of fleeing, and this person is noble, clean, and innocent as if he doesn't know the suffering of the world.

Such a person should appear in a lively dinner party or a luxurious cruise ship, but he should not appear here.

Standing in the desolate and miserable night, he was out of tune with everything around him, looking weird and treacherous.

The young man stopped breathing suddenly, and he heard the person in front of him speak slowly: "I think you need help?"

Perhaps because of the upward and downward angles, he felt a hazy sense of oppression from the opponent, which was deeper than the night.

"...I, can you help me up?" The young man clenched his hands slightly on the sand, "My leg is injured."

Although Ye Cang was so suspicious, he had no choice but to ask him for help now.The young man took a deep breath and told himself not to think too much at this time.

"I still have a few companions, they are also in this place now, but for some reason we are temporarily separated. If you help me, my companion and I will be grateful to you!"

The young man was smart enough not to explain any extra information, such as the monster that was chasing him, otherwise there was a high probability that the person in front of him would drop him and turn around and run away.

"An innocent and innocent identity is indeed easy to reassure, but I like to hear the truth." Ye Cang squatted down, propped his chin with one hand, and lazily interrupted him, "If you want my help, just tell me honestly, Who the hell are you doing here?"

"..."

Seeing Ye Cang's appearance of "I won't do anything unless you tell me", the young man's eyes turned red with anxiety.However, Ye Cang was so immovable, the young man wished he could punch the ground twice before spitting out his old blood.

——If that monster catches up, everyone will have to finish the game, brother! !

The youth compromised.

He quickly explained his identity, trying his best to explain everything in the shortest words, speaking so fast that it seemed like someone was asking for his life behind him... In fact, it was almost the same.

"So, you are here because you have received a mission. The mission requirement is to intercept a carrier spacecraft and then deliver something to the people in the spacecraft?"

"Yes." The young man coughed lowly, "I know that mercenaries have a bad reputation, but we only use money to do things, and we never kill innocent people indiscriminately like star thieves. Please help me, brother."

Ye Cang nodded his fingertips: "Do you know what's going on with that carrier spacecraft?"

The young man's face twisted for a moment, almost kneeling - why is there still a problem!No time, run for your life, brother!boss!

In his heart, he wished that he could grow two more legs, but he could only obediently succumbed and said, "I only know that the spaceship comes from Mercury, and it seems to be used to exile someone."

Ye Cang's expression changed, and he pinched his fingers to calculate: Yes, I almost forgot, Xing Ang should indeed arrive at Amu...or he would have arrived a few days earlier.

Looking at Ye Cang who suddenly fell silent, the young man couldn't help urging: "Can we go now? Can we leave here?"

"You seem to be in a hurry." Ye Cang glanced behind him with a half-smile, "Is there someone chasing you?"

"……No!"

"Don't deny it so fast, are you sure it didn't come to you?"

Ye Cang raised his jaw towards the back of the young man.

The young man suddenly felt a rush of cold air, his throat rolled up and down, and then, like a camera slowing down, he turned his head very slowly.

A huge black figure stood behind him, and no one knew when it appeared.

It wasn't a person, or even an animal. In the darkness, there were countless slender vines, with barbs like sharp teeth growing on the vines.

There is no shortage of dangerous creatures in the interstellar world. Just looking at it this way, the danger of this creature is still within the acceptable range.

however--

In the dark sky of the barren stars, a faint light of the sky casts down at some point.

Under such blessed twilight, the young man twitched his thigh in despair.

Looking at the entire land, strange creatures have been spreading to the end of the horizon, dancing wildly like the silhouette of a dragon snake or the thick long hair of a witch.

They are not only a whole, but also countless independent individuals.

When they are intertwined with each other and twisted into one strand, they are like the worldly giant snake Jormungandr, protruding its head from the endless deep sea at the end of the world, and slowly ejecting icy cold from its mouth that can swallow a planet. Shadowy breath.

They "looked" here.
