Chapter 1100 – Ghost Mithril Ore!

Margaret and the others sighed. They couldn"t help but admit that they were unlucky this time. They couldn"t blame this matter on Sim. This was because there had been numerous times where the exams had mistakes in their investigation. This wasn"t the first time that the strength of the enemy had suddenly increased.

Everyone rested for a day before they headed back to their own academies. Naturally, Zhao Hai and Margaret rode their own s.h.i.+p. The other academies had their own s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps to take them home.

After Zhao Hai returned to the s.h.i.+p, he immediately entered his room, closed the door, and didn"t make any sound. Margaret didn"t comment on this. In her mind, Zhao Hai was practicing. If he didn"t act like this, he wouldn"t have been this strong.

However, she was wrong. Zhao Hai returned to his room and entered the s.p.a.ce. But this time, he didn"t cultivate.

Upon entering the s.p.a.ce, Zhao Hai looked at Laura and said, "We need to take a look at that tunnel. It"s very weird to have that much beasts and malicious ghosts in one place. I want to see what they were there for."

Laura lightly frowned and said, "Brother Hai, why do you need to do this? Isn"t it just a little weird? It has nothing to do with us."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You don"t need to worry about me. I just want to see if there are any treasures back there. Didn"t you see? Those ghosts and beasts seem to be guarding something. Otherwise, they wouldn"t have worked that well with each other."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai say treasure, Laura and the others immediately understood what he was saying. Ever since they arrived at the Machine Field, they understood that it would be difficult for them to live comfortably with their present strength. Not to mention that the Machine Field was one of the weaker powers in the World of Cultivation.

Zhao Hai"s current strength could be considered to be medium-grade in the Machine Field. Medium-grade experts might be one of the top people in the Machine Field, but they still wouldn"t be able to contend against mechas and battles.h.i.+ps.

If they wish for the s.p.a.ce to level-up, then they would need to seek treasures of the World of Cultivation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the s.p.a.ce to level up.

Even if Laura and the others didn"t want Zhao Hai to take any risks, they also saw the ghosts and the beasts from the tunnel. At the same time, they could see that Zhao Hai didn"t have any problems dealing with them. With this thought in mind, Laura didn"t prevent Zhao Hai any longer as she nodded and said, "Alright. But Brother Hai, you need to be careful."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Rest a.s.sured, there wouldn"t be any problems." Then his figure vanished. The next moment, he appeared back in the mining tunnel. Meanwhile, Laura and the others began to move and opened their computers. They divided the mine into sections and scoured through to see any peculiar things.

This was what Laura and the others planned to do in order to give Zhao Hai help. They couldn"t go outside the s.p.a.ce and help Zhao Hai fight. This was the only way they could do in order to provide a.s.sistance.

Their computers weren"t any ordinary computer. These were devices specially created by the s.p.a.ce. They had large screens like the s.p.a.ce"s monitor and were more convenient to use.

Zhao Hai didn"t just randomly teleport to a random place in the tunnel. He was currently inside the region that the malicious ghosts and the beasts used to occupy.

The malicious ghosts and beasts didn"t nest in the center of the tunnel. Instead, they were based at the northern part. This also happened to be where the Adam Academy"s students were dropped off.

Malicious ghosts and beasts usually never moved from their areas unless a problem occurred. They wouldn"t have made a move if they weren"t protecting something.

When he appeared in the tunnel. Zhao Hai immediately released his spiritual force in order to scan the area for any dangers. Sure enough, he was able to discover something.

The malicious ghosts and the beasts had just been cleared up. But there were already several weaker ghosts here!

Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare at this discovery. Then he smiled and said, "Interesting, there already ghosts here. It seems like this place really isn"t normal. Laura, go take a closer look at the surrounding area."

Laura and the others complied and immediately carried on a careful examination of the nearby region. On the other hand, Zhao Hai released a five-fold light element magic, instantaneously killing the weak ghosts that had gathered.

Zhao Hai also released his own spiritual force in order to scan the surroundings.

At this time, Meg"s voice was suddenly heard, "Young Master, I discovered a very high density of dark energy southeast of your location. The dark energy here is much thicker than the Underworld. Maybe it"s the place we"re looking for." Zhao Hai nodded, then a map appeared in his head. The map marked the place that Meg mentioned. With a flash, Zhao Hai appeared in that place.

Upon experiencing the density of dark energy, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare. It was very thick, much thicker than in the Underworld. What puzzled Zhao Hai was the fact that even though the dark energy was thick, it wasn"t black. Instead, it was actually silver in color.

Dark energy generally manifested as black, this was common knowledge. However, the dark energy of this place didn"t follow this rule. This caused Zhao Hai to wonder.

At this moment, a ring suddenly sounded inside Zhao Hai"s head. It seems like this ringing was Lizzy"s doing.

Lizzy had also seen the place, what"s the point of this alarm? Zhao Hai quickly answered, "What happened?"

Just as his voice fell, Lizzy said, "Big Brother Hai, a kilometer under you is a mithril vein. However, this vein looks very strange. They were all mithril ores, but they looked like ghosts. It"s weird. Wait a moment. Sister Laura and the others are looking for information about this ore online."

Just as Lizzy finished talking, Laura"s voice was heard, "Found it. Brother Hai, a kilometer under you is a ghost mithril ore vein. Ghost mithril is a special type of mineral in the World of Cultivation. It is a mithril ore that had dark energy mixed into it while it formed. It"s a dual-element material. It is mainly used to forge yin-type weapons, but it has a lot of other uses. Any realm in the World of Cultivation consider it as a treasure. Moreover, there"s a good possibility for ghost mithril essence to be born inside each ore vein. Surrounding the ghost mithril essence would be the best ghost mithril of the entire vein. If we can get them all, that would be equal to gaining a lot of ghost mithril weapons. This is something that experts in the World of Cultivation long to get hold of."

Zhao Hai stared, then his two eyes shone and said, "Really? Fantastic. Right, what are mithril weapons used for?"

Laura answered, "There aren"t that much uses for mithril weapons. This is because it isn"t known for its hardness. Instead, mithril is the best metal when it comes to conduction. Ghost mithril has a strong memory storage function. If Mages in the Machine Field use a weapon made with ghost mithril, then they could store their layered formations much easier. When the time comes, they would be able to release it all in one go. This will save a lot of time."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Good, then let"s go take a look." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand, taking his blood ghost staff out. After he entered the blood lotus, it proceeded to drill below the ground.

It didn"t take long before Zhao Hai drilled a kilometer down. What appeared in front of him caused his to be greatly surprised. He didn"t expect ghost mithril to look like this.

Zhao Hai could affirm that in front of him was a rich reserve of high-quality ore. There were pieces of silvery-white ores closely clumped together. Seen on these ores were different forms of ugly faces. All of them looked incomparably scary. Additionally, these ores projected a strong presence of dark energy. The strong gloomy dark energy perfectly matched the ugly faces on the ore. It would cause ordinary people to flee in terror.

Zhao Hai just smiled. He wasn"t actually afraid of these things. He moved his hand and immediately released large amounts of Undead in order to mine these ghost mithril ores.

As the ghost mithril ore entered the s.p.a.ce, a prompt was heard, "Special mithril ore with dark energy detected." Then there was no other sound. Zhao Hai expected the s.p.a.ce to say more. But it was just that.

Zhao Hai didn"t care and just had the Undead continue to mine the ores and had it sent to the s.p.a.ce. What he wanted to see right now was the ghost mithril essence.

The Undead were connected to the s.p.a.ce by Cai"er. As long as they mine ghost mithril ore, the ore would be immediately sent to the s.p.a.ce. There was no need for Zhao Hai to open a rift. With this arrangement, the Undead moved very quickly.

Zhao Hai wasn"t in a hurry and just advanced bit by bit. Since he had already found this place, even if the s.h.i.+p arrived at the academy, he could still return from his room. At this time, Zhao Hai wanted Laura and the others to look for the ghost silver essence.

Although ghost mithril essence was a little weak for Zhao Hai, it was still a treasure in the eyes of other people. Moreover, Zhao Hai had an idea. In the past, when he placed ore essences in the s.p.a.ce, it allowed the s.p.a.ce to produce the ores themselves. He wanted to see whether the ghost mithril essence would allow the s.p.a.ce to create ghost mithril ore!

Chapter 1101 – Terminator?

Zhao Hai wasn"t attracted to the ghost mithril ores, he wanted the ghost mithril essence. If he can get his hands on the ghost silver essence, the s.p.a.ce might be able to create endless amounts of ores. It might even provide experience, allowing the s.p.a.ce to level-up.

For Zhao Hai, there was nothing more important than levelling up the s.p.a.ce. After all, if the s.p.a.ce levels up, his strength would increase. And nothing was more important than increasing his strength.

Although Zhao Hai wishes the s.p.a.ce to level up quickly, he wasn"t too anxious about it. This was because being anxious was useless. Worrying would just cause him to make mistakes. And in the World of Cultivation, mistakes were closely related to death.

Zhao Hai let his spiritual force loose as he sat inside the blood lotus. At this time, the blood lotus had reduced its size to a person"s fist. It was currently on a crack in the ore vein.

Behind him, the mithril ores were vanis.h.i.+ng in a constant rate. With the Undead coordinating with the s.p.a.ce, receiving the ores was very simple

As Zhao Hai proceeded forward, he suddenly felt a trace of spiritual waves in front of him. This spiritual movement was very well hidden, but Zhao Hai was still able to feel it.

Zhao Hai immediately stopped in place. There was no possibility of any creatures in this place. Sensing spiritual movement only meant one thing, the ghost mithril essence!

Zhao Hai carefully pushed his spiritual force towards the direction of the waves. He controlled his spiritual force to be as discreet as possible. This was because he was afraid of making the other side discover him.

Before long, Zhao Hai"s spiritual force arrived at its destination. But when he saw what was giving out spiritual waves, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare. This wasn"t what he expected. In his mind, he expected either a rock or a humanoid, or an animal-shaped ghost mithril. In the end, it turned out to be an egg!

Zhao Hai scanned the egg. It wasn"t a huge egg. It was about half a meter high and a diameter of 30 centimeters. Its body was also bright silver.

There were no ores nor dirt surrounding this egg. The egg floated in the void appearing both peaceful and strange.

Zhao Hai paused for a moment before leading the blood lotus to approach the egg. As soon as he reached the egg, Zhao Hai stopped because not only was the egg emitting spiritual waves, it was also physically shaking. It was as though it was afraid.

Zhao Hai had the blood lotus slowly approach the side of the egg. He reached out and gently touched the egg. After touching the egg, Zhao Hai was shocked once more. This was because the egg"s shaking had reduced. He could also feel a breath of life inside!

Zhao Hai stared, he couldn"t help but extend his spiritual force towards the egg. He wanted to sense the inside of the egg.

Just as Zhao Hai"s spiritual force reached the egg, the egg suddenly sucked the spiritual force in. Zhao Hai was surprised, he wanted to retrieve his spiritual force but found out that he wasn"t able to. The egg seemed to produce a huge cortex, sucking up Zhao Hai"s spiritual force into the egg.

Zhao Hai suddenly found out that he had no longer any control over his spiritual force. When he tried to pry his spiritual force away from the egg, he felt that there seems to be a connection that tied his spiritual force to his egg. This connection gave a steady stream of spiritual force for the egg. And it was impossible for Zhao Hai to sever this connection.

Zhao Hai was more surprised to find out that he wasn"t able to enter the s.p.a.ce. If he cannot enter the s.p.a.ce, then his greatest advantage was gone. He can only wait for death.

It was at this point that Zhao Hai discovered that the s.p.a.ce cannot guarantee his safety all the time. If other people could deal with him with the same method, then he could only wait to die.

Just as Zhao Hai thought that the egg would suck him dry, a stream of spiritual force suddenly spread out from the egg. This spiritual force was sent to Zhao Hai"s head, making up for the spiritual force that was just consumed.

Zhao Hai stared as he felt the spiritual force that the egg had sent back. At the same time, there were some information being sent over. Zhao Hai closed his eyes and comprehended this information.

To Zhao Hai"s surprise, he found nothing. The egg just sent information about its loneliness, its fears and so on. It was like a child being locked up in a dark room all alone.

Zhao Hai gawked, he didn"t know what was going on. At this moment, he suddenly felt the egg sending an expression of joy. Then the egg shone with beams of light as its sh.e.l.l melted in Zhao Hai"s hand. Before long, the egg transformed into a molten metal version of a human.

Zhao Hai discovered that this figure of molten metal didn"t have any evil intentions towards him. Although it was in his hand, it didn"t hinder his movement at all. Moreover, he could feel a warm feeling from the figure.

Then the liquid figure suddenly flowed to Zhao Hai"s arms before it gathered on his shoulders. After that, the molten liquid slowly turned into a child.

Zhao Hai curiously watched the little thing. It was smaller than Cai"er. Its upper body had a small belly band while its lower body had baby shorts. It looked quite adorable.

Zhao Hai stared blankly at the kid. Although it was very adorable, its entire body was bright silver. It looked like a baby robot.

At this time, the kid sent another wave of spiritual force. This spiritual force pa.s.sed its sentiment towards Zhao Hai stating that it was going to depend on him.

Zhao Hai couldn"t help but let out a helpless smile. He really couldn"t understand what was going on. But in the end, he changed his mind and saw that the kid had just been born, and that it had already labeled him as his family.

Zhao Hai didn"t know if he should laugh or cry. But in the end, he rubbed the kid"s belly. In turn, the kid rubbed its small face into Zhao Hai"s cheek. Although the kid looked like a metallic being, its skin was actually very soft.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly before he brought the kid into the s.p.a.ce. Just as the two entered, a prompt was heard, "Metallic man discovered. Metallic man is accepting of the Host. Extracting the metallic man"s ability to improve the Host"s genes. The Host now has the ability to turn into liquid metal. Because the metallic man is the ghost mithril"s essence, the s.p.a.ce can now produce ghost mithril ore veins."

"Ability to a.n.a.lyze and store detected on the metallic man. s.p.a.ce"s Universal Scanner has levelled up. Hoping the Host to continue working hard." Just as the prompt was heard, the s.p.a.ce"s scanner had been improved. It was much taller now at ten stories high.

After seeing this development, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but laugh. Ascending to the Machine Field showed his how important the Universal Scanner was. At this moment, he already had several hundred thousand magic formation combinations gathered. All of this was because of the scanner"s ability. Now that the scanner has been upgraded, things would only get better.

However, with this thought, Zhao Hai"s brows couldn"t help but wrinkle. Although this aspect of his strength has been improved, his overall status didn"t increase that much. This could help him get stronger indeed, but Zhao Hai still haven"t found out a way to increase his spirit nor advance in the Stellar Transformation art.

At this time, his Myriad Stellar Transformations art had reached the peak of the first layer, he had yet to enter the second layer. He was able to break through to the second layer at any time, but he seems to be unable to.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hai calmed down. He knew that even if the scanner had leveled up and can a.n.a.lyze more layered formations, it was still useless to him. This was because he didn"t have enough spiritual force to support it. With his current strength, 100-layer formations was his limit.

Nevertheless, getting his hands on the ghost mithril essence and allowing the s.p.a.ce to produce ghost mithril ore veins was already a good harvest. He wasn"t too greedy to expect for more.

Zhao Hai didn"t go to see the scanner, there was no need to. He didn"t have much involvement with the machine. It was Cai"er, Laura, and the others that used it frequently.

Upon returning to the villa, Zhao Hai needed to stop his jaw from falling. Laura and the others were in front of their computers and commanded the Undead to move the ghost mithril to the s.p.a.ce. It looked just fine as it was, but looking at the computers, it seems like they were competing in a computer game.

While Zhao Hai was shocked, Cai"er suddenly flew over. Looking at the kid, Cai"er smiled and said, "Young Master, is this the kid the prompt mentioned?"

Zhao Hai nodded, he turned his head to the kid and said, "Kid, this will be your companion from now on. She"s your elder sister Cai"er. Treat her and also my wives as your family. Since you"re silver colored, we"ll start calling you Little Silver from now on. Go on, play with Cai"er."

Little Silver looked like he couldn"t understand Zhao Hai"s words. However, it could understand what Zhao Hai wanted to say. Therefore, it giggled before a pair of silver wings appeared on its back. The wings fluttered as Little Silver flew crookedly towards Cai"er.

Looking at Little Silver"s appearance, Cai"er smiled before leading the kid to play around. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai went to Laura and the others and looked at the game they were playing. Each one of them were commanding ten Undead creatures and competed on who could mine the most ghost mithril ore.

Zhao Hai didn"t care about their conduct. They had been inside the s.p.a.ce all this time, bored. Being able to find things that could amuse them was good. Zhao Hai didn"t disturb them as he teleported to an uninhabited area in order to try his newly gained ability.

Zhao Hai already discovered that ever since he took Little Silver with him, the dark energy in the tunnel had decreased. It seems like all those dark energy had been supplied by Little Silver. Therefore, there should no longer be any danger in future examinations.

Liquefying his body into metal was Zhao Hai"s new ability. In order to understand more of the ability, Zhao Hai tried to use it. He immediately felt his body turn silver up to the cellular level. Moreover, he could feel his bones and internal organs dissolve. He was now ready to transform.

Then Zhao Hai thought about turning his hand into a sword. And before long, a bright silver sword was in place of his hand. Zhao Hai suddenly thought that he was now like the terminator, being able to turn into liquid metal at ease. At this point, his personal appearance held little meaning.

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. He began to think that he was becoming less and less human. However, he didn"t necessarily need to become metallic being. For Zhao Hai, this ability was just one means among the many that he already had. It was just like a sword. He didn"t need to use it all the time.

After letting out a long breath, Zhao Hai began to cultivate. He had already decided on his schedule moving forward. Besides sleeping, he would condense magic formations nonstop for two hours. Then after that, he would familiarize himself with formation combinations. This way he would know which ones were the most appropriate to use in future battles.

Like this time, for example. Besides the formation he used to defeat the beasts, the other five-layer formations he used were the most appropriate ones to use at that time. If the Mages from the Adam Academy knew which formation to use, then they wouldn"t have died.

It was one thing to have power. It was another thing to hold complete control of that power, making it your own. Because of this, Zhao Hai made sure to familiarize himself with formations every day.

Besides his condensing formations and familiarizing himself with formation combinations, Zhao Hai also allotted time to practicing sword qi. He"s both a Warrior and a Mage. Not using sword qi would be a waste of his talent.

Zhao Hai saw how Khan and the others utilized their sword qi in order to destroy even the hardest defenses. As long as he gained a good grasp on sword qi, then Zhao Hai would have more cards to play in the future.

Besides magic formations and sword qi, Zhao Hai was also sharpening his usage of spiritual force. In the Machine Field, spiritual force was also very important.

And lastly, Zhao Hai also practiced in his Stellar Transformation Yin-Yang art. In the past, Zhao Hai didn"t deliberately practice this technique. But now that he was actively cultivating this method, his fundamental strength would certainly increase.

While Zhao Hai was learning formation combinations, Cai"er"s voice was suddenly heard, "Young Master, return to the s.h.i.+p quickly. Margaret is looking for you."

Chapter 1102 – Pirates

Zhao Hai paused for a moment before he quickly exited the s.p.a.ce and reappeared inside his room. And just as he arrived in his room, Zhao Hai immediately heard knocks coming from the door.

Zhao Hai quickly went to the door and opened it. Margaret was on the other side, her facial expression somewhat anxious. She looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, come with me to the command hall quick. There are s.p.a.ce Pirates, we might have to retreat." Then she turned around and walked towards the command hall.

Zhao Hai hastily followed behind. Before long, they arrived at the s.h.i.+p"s command hall. The atmosphere inside the room was completely different from before. The last time Zhao Hai was here, everyone was very relaxed, some were even drinking tea. Even those who controlled the s.h.i.+p didn"t look busy.

But now, the place was extremely active. Those who controlled the s.h.i.+p were very busily typing on the keyboard as they shouted information. The entire hall was noisy.

Margaret didn"t make any noise as she just led Zhao Hai towards the s.h.i.+p"s commander. The commander stood in front of his table, looking at the display. His expression was very strict. He would also issue commands from time to time.

Zhao Hai looked at the display on the table. From what Margaret said, Zhao Hai expected s.p.a.ce pirates to be driving their own s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, just like those written in fiction back on earth. However, it seems like this wasn"t the case at all. They were just people who were flying in s.p.a.ce.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare. He didn"t expect people to be able to fly in s.p.a.ce. Moreover, these people were wearing Mage and Warrior clothes. This was completely out of Zhao Hai"s imagination.

Zhao Hai turned to Margaret and said, "Instructor, these are pirates? And are those Mages?"

Margaret didn"t turn her head to Zhao Hai, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, those are the pirates. Some of them are also ascenders from the lower realms. Their strength should be level 3 or above, since that is the level you need in order to fly in s.p.a.ce. They rob people for a living. With their strength, the Mages and Warriors are powerful enough to damage ordinary s.h.i.+ps. The academy"s s.h.i.+p is also an ordinary s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, but with a little bit more defense. However, it would still be difficult for us to get rid of them."

Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare. He was now level 4. If level 3 allowed one to fly in s.p.a.ce, then this means that he could fly in s.p.a.ce as well.

Margaret hasn"t been paying attention to Zhao Hai"s expressions. She was still looking at the s.p.a.ce pirates. Then she added, "Commonly, s.p.a.ce pirates don"t attack academy s.h.i.+ps. This is because they know that academy s.h.i.+ps don"t hold anything valuable. Even if they take an academy s.h.i.+p, it would still be useless for them since it is just a common s.h.i.+p. n.o.body would buy it from them."

Zhao Hao knitted his brows. From the information he checked online, the status of ascender academies were very high. Moreover, academy s.h.i.+ps were protected by the three major powers of the Machine Field. Anyone who dared to attack academy s.h.i.+ps would be jointly pursued by these powers.

Margaret then said, "The way they appeared is strange. We just left Tyro Planet and now they"re here. It seems like they were waiting for us."

Upon hearing Margaret, Jin Changji"s image suddenly appeared inside Zhao Hai"s mind. So he immediately said, "Instructor, is this Jin Changji"s plot? Since n.o.body from the Adam Academy came back, he won"t allow any of us to safely return."

Margaret stared, but she shook her head and said, "That"s impossible. Jin Changji knows about my status. He wouldn"t dare do anything like this!"

Zhao Hai couldn"t help but pause, then his two eyes shone. Margaret"s words just made him understand that her status wasn"t simple.

But Zhao Hai didn"t dwell on it for long as he said, "Instructor, I can think of four possible reasons . First, they are just pirates and met us coincidentally. But that"s not very likely to happen. It"s common sense for pirates to leave academy s.h.i.+ps alone unless some strings are pulled. Second reason is that they are people that are hostile to the Adam Family. They want to attack us in order to frame the Adam Family. If this succeeds, then the Adam Family and the Ashley family would fight and they would profit."

"The third possibility is that these people are from the Adam Family. They can attack us because they could just claim that they are being framed by other people. People would think that they wouldn"t blatantly attack like this and set themselves on fire. In this case, people might even believe them."

"The fourth possibility is that these people are other enemies of the Ashley Family. They attack us here so that we would blame the Adam Family, causing a war in the process."

It wasn"t just Margaret who heard Zhao Hai"s words, the captain was listening as well. When they heard this, they couldn"t help but think that this pirate attack wasn"t as simple as it looked.

Margaret turned to Zhao Hai and said, "So who do you think these people belong to?"

Zhao Hai answered, "First of all, these people cannot be pirates. Tyro Planet being an examination area isn"t a secret. Us being here isn"t strange as well. Therefore, pirates wouldn"t be lurking in this place. Secondly, they couldn"t he from the Adam Academy. Even if the Adam Academy"s students were wiped out in the exam, it didn"t cause too much loss to them. They will not risk damaging themselves just by this event alone, it just isn"t worth it. Third, It is also likely that they aren"t Adam Academy"s enemies. Although killing us would incite a fight between the Ashley Family and the Adam Academy, the two families aren"t stupid enough to not understand the implications of this fight. Both would certainly launch investigations about this matter. And if the perpetrator is found, they would definitely meet a violent retaliation.Therefore, although it seems like it would be a good move to attack us, it is in fact a stupid action. So in the end, I think that the only possibility is that these people are the Ashley Family"s enemies. With enough grudge, people wouldn"t let off any opportunity to attack a member of the family." Zhao Hai made a careful a.n.a.lysis of this matter. Because of this, Margaret couldn"t find any point to rebut. In the end, Margaret and the Commander nodded.

After nodding, Margaret asked Zhao Hai, "What do you suggest we should do?"

Zhao Hai looked at the Mages and the Warriors on the screen and said, "I think we should return to Tyro Planet. We just left the planet, so it wouldn"t take long for us to head back. Being in Tyro Planet would be the safest move we could do. Upon arriving at the planet, we can send word back to the family and ask them for support."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Margaret nodded and then turned to Kirk and said, "Kirk, what do you think?" Kirk thought about it for a moment and said, "It"s reasonable. We"re not far from Tyro Planet. As long as we turn around, we should be able to reach it if we use our s.h.i.+elds. Even if we take damage before arriving at the planet, it wouldn"t be too heavy. At the very least, we can guarantee everyone"s safety."

Margaret nodded, "Then let"s head back to Tyro Planet at our maximum speed." Kirk complied and then gave the order. Since the s.h.i.+p wasn"t overly large, it wasn"t difficult for it to turn around and leave.

The attackers didn"t expect the s.h.i.+p to make a sudden turn. They were too surprised that they weren"t able to respond for some time.

Just when they were about to start attacking the s.h.i.+p, it was already quite a distance away. Although these people could fly in s.p.a.ce, they weren"t as fast as s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. The reason why they can ambush the s.h.i.+p was because the s.h.i.+p was already heading their way. It was the same concept as train robbers. It was impossible for them to catch up to the train, but it was possible to wait for the train to come to them.

However, now that the s.h.i.+p suddenly turned around, these people were left behind. Also, the s.h.i.+p"s defensive s.h.i.+eld wasn"t just for decoration. It was a s.h.i.+eld that had evolved with Magic Theory, allowing it to block level 5 attacks. Because of this, after the Mage and Warrior attacks. .h.i.t, they still weren"t able to make a substantial damage.. The s.h.i.+p was now using almost all of its energy on propulsion, but this didn"t mean that they slacked on using their s.h.i.+eld. Blocking attacks from these pirates wouldn"t be a problem.

Margaret and Zhao Hai didn"t expect that just as the s.h.i.+p turned around, Kirk suddenly said, "Increase energy use to 100%. Place 80% on propulsion while 20% are on s.h.i.+elds."

At this moment, the s.h.i.+p began to shake. Then a staff member reported, "Commander, cabin 5, 7, and 11, have been damaged. The cabin pressure is beginning to change." Along with this report, the s.h.i.+p began to slow down.

Kirk quickly made an order, "Close the emergency doors outside cabin 5, 7, and 11. We don"t need them anyway. Make a straight course towards Tyro Planet!!"

And with Kirk"s command, the s.h.i.+p"s speed increased once more, leaving the Mages and Warriors far behind.
