Chapter 1312

Since Ye Zhangqing appeared, the Star Battleship has indeed become much livelier.

Every day at Fàn diǎn, one can see the excited smiles of many Space Pirates.

The days seem to be getting more hopeful, and Ye Zhangqing's prestige among the many Space Pirates is also growing higher.

It's mainly because Ye Zhangqing himself intentionally does so, regularly giving these Space Pirates small favors.

But for a period of time afterward, he never went to other worlds, and Ye Zhangqing couldn't find a chance to escape.

One can't just run away on this vast star sea; if he did, he wouldn't know where to go.

For now, he can only endure for a while.

The days passed quite peacefully; aside from the Viper continuing to arrange people to monitor Ye Zhangqing, there were no other actions.

Even toward Ye Zhangqing, they were not bad.

For example, those women on the Star Battleship, Ye Zhangqing can freely choose.

These women are basically those captured by the Viper and his gang, daily provided for the many Space Pirates to seek pleasure.

They are also a pitiful bunch.

However, Ye Zhangqing did not accept them; he has no interest in these women, and even when he can, he will help these women.

For example, some Space Pirates, due to their personalities, treat these women rudely; Ye Zhangqing will step in to stop them.

At least it can spare them some physical suffering.

After spending some time beside Ye Zhangqing, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan the two brothers, and the two spirit chefs also came to know Ye Zhangqing's character.

Being out of place among the many Space Pirates and never bullying others with his status, this made the two spirit chefs have a great fondness for Ye Zhangqing.

Even Li Tie Niu and Li Tie Dan the two brothers have undergone many changes because of Ye Zhangqing.

One day, just as usual, after lunch, the many Space Pirates went about their business.

Ye Zhangqing had just returned to his room when the system, which had been feigning death for a long time, suddenly reacted.

【Detected top-grade ingredient, star beast.】

Huh???

Another top-grade ingredient?

Previously, when a top-grade ingredient was detected, it seemed to be only that time with the demon race, and after that there was none.

Now another top-grade ingredient has appeared, but this star beast............

Ye Zhangqing had heard the Viper and his gang mention it, but he had never seen one.

This star beast is a unique lifeform in the Wújìn Xīnghǎi; they can almost be said to have no intelligence, all actions driven by instinct.

Yet their strength is surprisingly great; some powerful star beasts have strength even surpassing that of Emperor Sovereign Realm experts.

Furthermore, because they lack intelligence, encountering a star beast in the Wújìn Xīnghǎi is very dangerous.

Because they need no reason, these star beasts will attack you.

When encountering those powerful star beasts, lacking sufficient strength, one mostly ends up dying in regret in the Wújìn Xīnghǎi.

Hearing the system's alert, Ye Zhangqing, out of curiosity, hurriedly came to the deck.

Seeing this, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan the two brothers, and the two spirit chefs also hurriedly followed.

All the way to the deck, upon seeing Ye Zhangqing's Space Pirates, they all shouted respectfully.

"Boss Ye."

The Space Pirates on the deck, upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, also spoke respectfully.

"Boss Ye, why have you come?"

At this time, many Space Pirates had gathered on the deck, even including three leaders.

Obviously they had discovered something, and after greeting Ye Zhangqing, their gazes were fixed tightly on a direction.

Following the gaze of the Space Pirates, Ye Zhangqing saw only a Star Battleship ahead, before which a strange-looking creature, somewhat like a fish and somewhat like a bird, was attacking the formation of the Xingkong Ship.

The creature's body is enormously huge, almost like a mountain range.

That Xingkong Ship before it appears exceedingly tiny.

"This is the star beast........"

It is still the first time I have personally seen a star beast; to be honest, it is quite shocking.

In terms of sheer size, even a demon emperor before this star beast would be nothing, utterly incomparable.

The difference between them is enormously great.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was observing the star beast, suddenly it let out a furious roar, the sound so great it was like thunder from the heavens.

Some low-cultivation Space Pirates felt their ears shaken until they ached.

"That group is unlucky; they encountered a star beast, and being this close, they cannot possibly escape now."

Ye Zhangqing sighed, and a leader beside him laughed and said.

Judging by its aura, this should be a star beast of Great Emperor Realm level.

For now, the formation of that Xingkong Ship can still hold out a bit, but no one on the ship has made a move after a long wait.

Most likely, there is no strong enough expert to hold off this star beast, so they can only choose to shrink inside the Xingkong Ship.

But this cannot be a long-term solution; how many attacks can the formation of the Xingkong Ship withstand against the star beast?

Just like now, when the star beast sweeps its tail down, the entire Xingkong Ship appears like a lone leaf in a vast ocean, exceedingly tiny, ready to sink at any moment.

Moreover, countless cracks instantly appear on the formation, looking as if it cannot endure many more blows.

The Space Pirates on the side watch the spectacle, also having no intention to intervene, for the star beast is not worth anything.

As for saving people, that's even more impossible; they are Space Pirates—saving people? Not killing them would already be good.

"Brother Ye, this is your first time seeing a star beast, right?"

While watching the show, that leader chatted casually with Ye Zhangqing; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing nodded truthfully.

Well, it's indeed the first time I've seen a star beast.

This star beast, in the Wújìn Xīnghǎi, is a notorious disaster star, so to speak; many people would rather run into space pirates like us than encounter a star beast.

After all, we mainly seek wealth; if we're in a good mood, we might even let someone go, but star beasts are different—they are a herd of mindless beasts, acting purely on instinct, killing you for no reason at all.

So even we space pirates don't want to provoke these beasts, mainly because there's nothing to gain.

The leader laughed as he introduced this to Ye Zhangqing, also reminding him that in the Wújìn Xīnghǎi, if he encounters a star beast, he should run if he can.

It's pointless to get entangled with it; if you can't beat it, you lose your life, and even if you do, it's meaningless—star beasts have no value.

As for star beasts, in short, just one word: dodge.

So, upon seeing this star beast, the space pirates instinctively changed course, deliberately avoiding it.

Meanwhile, this star beast clearly wasn't paying attention to them; it was just staring fixedly at that xingkong ship.

That xingkong ship is doomed; it's likely to meet its end here.

Let's go, there's nothing more to see.

Just as the space pirates lost interest and were about to leave, Ye Zhangqing suddenly spoke up.

Actually, this star beast would be a fine ingredient, even a top-grade one.

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the three leaders who had turned to leave stopped dead in their tracks, turned their heads, and looked at Ye Zhangqing with faces full of surprise, their eyes filled with doubt.
