Chapter 735: Lost
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
The amethyst war chariot flew away like a purple lightning strike. Shortly, it got out of the sight of Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo’s space pirates.
Zi Yao sat neatly on her chariot, her visage calm. A cold intent hung on the corner of her mouth. Apparently, she was indignant due to Ka Tuo’s dirty words.
Shi Yan sat down cross-legged. His face was like a stone, showing no emotion. He continued to urge and disperse the energy of the pellet in his entire body. He wanted to restore his peak status in the shortest time, so that he could be able to counter the battle that could happen at any minute.
The speed of this amethyst war chariot was much faster than the tiger shark war chariots. It moved like a shuttle between the fatal sunbeams of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. It flashed and then disappeared. Ka Tuo’s space pirates couldn’t locate their direction or chase after them. It was hard to use any effective countermeasures.
Seeing Zi Yao and Shi Yan disappear from their sight, the space pirates under Ka Tuo’s command were enraged. They roared and thundered evilly, jumping like grasshoppers.
Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo, the leader, was quite calm. He just sneered continually, as if he had some other plans. He wasn’t hot-tempered at all.
“Boss,” The Human Clan’s young man with lewd eyes laughed evilly. “Seems like Princess Zi Yao’s famous beauty is real indeed. She’s worth the best of the best women in the Raging Flame Star Area. If we can have her, your reputation will be spreading out all over the Raging Flame Star Area. The other men will jealous of you to death.”
Ka Tuo grinned wickedly, as his shiny bald head sparkled. “I’ve crossed thousands of miles this time for this woman. As long as I can have her, even if I have to die in the future, it would be worth it.”
The young man stooped his head, his face cold and cunning. “Then, I have to congrats you in advance.”
The tiger shark war chariots were moving around, worming through the scorching sunbeams. They weren’t in a hurry. The experts under Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo’s command scattered, forming a big net formation. They started to move forward from different areas.
“We’ve been in this Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field for a long time. We understand this place better than that woman. Although her war chariot’s called the Purple Lightning of the Raging Flame Star Area, she shouldn’t dream about escaping us in this damned Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.” Ka Tuo rubbed his shiny head. “Just let her be contented for a while. Let’s see how she can cut me off in this place.”
“So wise, my boss,” The young man flattered, causing Ka Tuo to grin.
…
The war chariot called the Purple Lightning moved swiftly and skillfully inside the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. It looked like a beam of electricity that would be hard to trace.
The Purple Lightning shot rapidly. It could move several thousand miles in just a blink. As it was flexibly gliding between the sunbeams, Shi Yan couldn’t hold his compliments.
He believed that even if he used his max speed to fly with the power of the sun, moon, and stars, he would never be able to catch this Purple Lightning. Perhaps, only the King God Realm warriors flying at the max speed could catch up with her chariot.
Since Ka Tuo was at the Third Sky of King God Realm, Shi Yan guessed that he had to leave his tiger shark chariot and use his body to fly in outer space to chase after Zi Yao.
However, after Shi Yan had used his Soul Consciousness to sense, he was surprised.
The others didn’t leave their chariots. The distance between their amethyst chariot and the pirates was getting further and further. They seemed to be giving up, not wanting to pursue them.
Frowning, he observed Zi Yao in silence. He found that Zi Yao was still solemn. Her eyes showed her panic instead of the lucky or relaxed feeling for escaping.
Shi Yan was astounded. He stopped urging the pellet’s medicinal efficacy, lifted his head, and talked to the Princess. “We’re pretty far from Ka Tuo’s gang. Why are you still worried so much? From the difference between the speeds, it’s tough for the others to reach us. Why are you still tense?”
Zi Yao was in a heavy mood. Listening to his query, she begrudgingly beamed a smile. “It’s because you don’t know the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.”
“Why do you say that?”
“The Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field is much larger than you think. At our speed, it will take at least half a month to get out of this place.” She stooped to see Shi Yan sitting cross-legged, as a streak of struggle sparkled in her eyes. “And, that’s in the ideal case, if we do not deviate from our direction. However, the most dangerous feature of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field is that it’s hard to keep the direction. To those who are unfamiliar with this area, the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field is a complex labyrinth.”
Shi Yan’s eyes changed.
“To those who are unfamiliar with such a massive labyrinth, funny results could be expected. Although we are flying rapidly to leave this place, perhaps we will find out that we’ve made a big circle and got back to our starting location.” Zi Yao sighed grudgingly. “The faster we move, the bigger chance we have to get lost. It will happen because we are moving fast and don’t have time to navigate. Usually, we would end up entering some perilous areas. At that time, we have to return and start all over again.”
“You mean, we will possibly get lost in the center of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field?”
“It’s not ‘possibly’…” Zi Yao’s face was grim. “We’re lost.”
Shi Yan was surprised.
“If we were still in the amethyst battleship and moving at a slow speed, I could figure the right direction. But if we accelerate, it’s hard to locate. If we can’t locate our own location, it’s possible that we will make a big circle and return to the starting point.”
Her smile faded. “Ka Tuo’s gang is different. To space pirates, before every affair, the first thing they do is to get used to the area and topography. They will survey all corners of the dangerous area. After that, they will plan their operation.”
“You mean, Ka Tuo’s gang understands the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field as clear as the palm of their hands and won’t deviate? So, even if we depart first, we won’t escape their trap?”
“Yes, that’s what I meant. Although we can get rid of them for a while, it doesn’t mean that we can survive. Since Ka Tuo doesn’t hasten to chase after us, I can confirm that he’s confident. It also means that his gang has some members that understand the situation of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field thoroughly.”
Shi Yan nodded, his mood heavy. “Seems like we can’t escape easily this time.”
“Well, it isn’t certain,” Zi Yao cracked a smile while her beautiful eyes sparkled. “I still have you on my side, right? It’s also why I dared to stay. Since you can sense the living fluctuation from an extremely far distance, even if we can’t navigate the right direction to get out of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field, we can always avoid Ka Tuo’s gang. We can play hide-and-seek with them in this Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. When they find out that they can’t catch us, they will abort their operation.”
“Turns out you didn’t want to let me go right from the beginning,” Shi Yan smiled but didn’t get angry.
“If you had left, I would be more passive at this moment. Maybe, I couldn’t escape at all.” Zi Yao smiled nonchalantly while a strange light rippled from her beautiful eyes. “See, my fortune isn’t bad. I had never thought that I could meet a mysterious guy like you. Of course, Ka Tuo hasn’t either. Or else, he wouldn’t be that serene.”
“Alright, I know what to do,” Shi Yan contemplated for a while and then nodded. He slowly closed his eyes, urging the energy from the pellet.
In the next period, Shi Yan unceasingly released his Soul Consciousness, expanding its coverage. He carefully detected any energy fluctuating of living beings in the area.
Whenever he sensed streaks of life, he would report Zi Yao immediately, so that she could change the direction of the chariot accordingly.
Over the period of time, Zi Yao didn’t hesitate even a moment. She always followed his reminders. They were flying without a fixed route, but still could escape the pursuers many times easily.
After this encounter, he did believe in what Zi Yao had told him. The others apparently understood the topography of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field pretty well. Although the tiger shark chariots were slow, they could navigate their locations precisely. Sometimes, they almost caught up with Shi Yan’s team.
After several encounters, Zi Yao’s confidence was boosted. Smiles appeared on her face again, as she wasn’t too worried and anxious.
Inside the blazing-red meteorolite sea, countless sunbeams weaved, creating a beautiful wonder of the universe. Putting aside the perilous features, this land was a dreamy, marvelous attraction.
For the time being, since Zi Yao and Shi Yan didn’t encounter any lethal danger, they could relax for a while. They stood on the war chariot, watching the wonderful sight of outer space. They were stunned because of the unique glamour of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.
Shi Yan was relaxed and happy, as he could have a chance to watch the mesmerizing attractions of the universe with so many blazing-red meteorolites, seeming like suns that illuminated the dark and cold outer space. And, he had a graceful woman, whose magnificence was unparalleled, as his company. Suddenly, Shi Yan felt that this dangerous journey had more colors than he could have expected.
In this hot ambiance, Zi Yao was wearing a thin and short dress. Her flawless porcelain-like body was illuminated by the fading sunbeams, revealing an appealing glamour that could disorder people’s souls. Seeing her standing in the war chariot with her beautiful and innately noble bearing, others could feel their souls enchanted.
Although it was hard to impress Shi Yan with beauty, he couldn’t help but feel dizzy on seeing her splendor. Usually, he couldn’t control his burning look gazing at the beautiful woman standing next to him as if he wanted to melt her.
“Shi Yan, I think you were an outstanding warrior in your continent. Have you ever loved a woman in your whole life? Do you know what love tastes like?” As Zi Yao was watching the magnificent sight, her eyes suddenly became dreamy as if she were sleeping-talking. “Such taste, how magical it is, can you tell me?”
Shi Yan was panicked, as his mind was seething like a rising tide that flooded him immediately.
He quieted down, sinking in his sea of memory. Long afterward, he started slowly. “I have one woman like that. When I was weak, she had been with me through many difficult challenges. However, due to different reasons and struggles, she and I had to be apart. Even if we can meet later, I don’t know how to deal with her.”
“Why?” Zi Yao found it interesting. She turned to him, focusing her bright eyes at him. “People always say that nothing can stop love, right? You have a deep love for her. Does she love you the same way? Will she do anything for you?”
Shi Yan frowned, keeping silent for a long while. He didn’t say anything else.
