Chapter 1318: Are these space pirates crazy?

The shopkeeper was somewhat numb; he really didn't know.

He's just the keeper of a small tavern, why does he keep being watched by these big shots?

After repeated questioning, the three women still couldn't get any useful information from the shopkeeper.

In the end they could only leave helplessly, but this tavern soon closed its doors.

It's said the shopkeeper went far away, unwilling to stay in this sorrowful place.

On the other side, Yun Xiantai and company also arrived at the strongest sect of the Biquan Realm.

They likewise received news about Ye Zhangqing there, but the other side also didn't know where the Viper gang had gone.

What can be confirmed is that Ye Zhangqing had indeed been to the Biquan Realm before.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about safety; even the Viper gang seems to value him greatly.

This is good news that relieved everyone, at least proving Ye Zhangqing's safety is fine.

As long as his life isn't threatened, everyone firmly believes they can rescue Ye Zhangqing.

After leaving the Biquan Realm, Yun Xiantai's group began an aimless search.

But this time they actually found some news, and there will surely be more to come.

"Along the way, pay attention; it's best to gather more clues about Little Changqing, gradually narrowing the scope."

On the Star Battleship, Yun Xiantai earnestly told everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly in agreement.

Yun Xiantai's group is fortunate; they are now closely pursuing the Viper gang, with the correct general direction.

Ye Zhangqing naturally doesn't know about the movements of Yun Xiantai's side.

Although he firmly believes Yun Xiantai and the others will surely come to save him, he didn't expect their speed to be this fast.

Right now they have already caught up to the Biquan Realm.

At this moment Ye Zhangqing is still drifting with the Viper gang on the Wújìn Xīnghǎi.

Many space pirates usually idle away, liking to drink a couple of cups of liquor and gather to have fun.

But now, what the space pirates look forward to most is still the daily mealtime.

That is their happiest time.

With Ye Zhangqing, the various spiritual liquors on the Star Battleship seem to be consumed less.

Over the past few days, the corpse of that star beast is almost finished being eaten.

Seeing this, many space pirates start calculating where to get another star beast for ingredients.

These days, on the deck, many space pirates search daily for traces of star beasts.

"How strange, star beasts used to be common, why can't we find them now?"

"Exactly, when you don't need them they're everywhere, but when you want them you can't find them."

Many space pirates, constantly drifting aimlessly on the Wújìn Xīnghǎi, actually encounter star beast attacks not infrequently.

Earlier they felt star beasts were quite numerous, but these past few days they haven't found a single one.

This is odd—where did all those star beasts go?

When you need them you can't find them; when you don't need them they pop up one after another.

Looking at it, the star beast ingredients are about to run out; if not replenished in time, isn't that running out of food?

All the space pirates are frantically searching for star beasts.

After another two days, the star beast ingredients are completely exhausted.

Seeing there's nothing to eat, the space pirates panic completely.

"The star beast ingredients are gone?"

"You won't go look yourself? The last bit was eaten last night."

"Damn it, where the hell did those star beasts run off to?"

"Star beasts, star beasts."

Just as the space pirates were angrily cursing, suddenly someone on the deck shouted loudly.

Hearing that shout, many space pirates rushed up onto the deck in a hurry.

Each one stretched their necks to look around.

"Where is it? Where is the star beast?"

"At last we found it; I still thought these star beasts were extinct."

Soon many space pirates found the traces of the star beast.

Just ahead to the left, a Great Saint-level star beast was blocking a Xingkong Ship, while several cultivators were presently fighting it fiercely.

Those cultivators, the leader being of Great Saint Realm cultivation and the others of Shèngjìng cultivation.

At a glance, the few people and that star beast are locked in a stalemate, with nobody seeming to gain an advantage.

That star beast's cultivation is inferior to the previous one, and its size is also somewhat smaller.

Yet the starving space pirates, at this moment, don't have the leisure to care about those details.

A Great Saint-level star beast is just a Great Saint-level star beast—anyway, as long as it's edible, we'll make do.

Soon a leader also rushed onto the deck, seeing that Great Saint-level star beast.

That leader, without saying a word, immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Finally found it, brothers, follow me in attack."

The many space pirates, eyes red, charged straight at the star beast without regard for anything else.

While the few cultivators who had been fiercely battling the star beast suddenly felt someone rapidly approaching from behind.

One of them turned his head to look, and his expression immediately turned grim.

"Space Pirates.........."

Upon hearing this person's words, others also turned their heads to look, seeing that the newcomer was indeed a space pirate, and several people's hearts sank.

Encountering a star beast upon leaving would be okay; after all, they have confidence in dealing with it.

But, at this moment a group of space pirates shows up, which is really bad.

They have to face both a star beast and a group of space pirates, which is obviously impossible.

Moreover, the appearance of the space pirates, several people could guess without even thinking—nothing more than killing and looting; what good could space pirates have?

But right now, the star beast in front hasn't been resolved, and having to face a group of space pirates as well would be doomed.

The situation could still be seen clearly, and the leader, this Great Saint Realm cultivator, almost without hesitation, had already made a decision.

"Hand over the treasures to them."

The leader chose to give all the treasures to the Viper gang, after all, the star beast cannot be communicated with.

They lack any spiritual intelligence, acting purely on instinct.

For now, we can only first pacify this group of space pirates, then focus on dealing with this star beast.

Although reluctant to part with the treasures and spirit stones on hand, this is the only option for now.

If we don't find a way to get rid of this group of space pirates, later they'll be attacked from front and back, which would be even more troublesome.

As for letting this group of space pirates help, the leader hadn't even considered it.

Letting a group of space pirates save you? One would have to be incredibly foolish to have such an idea.

Letting a group of space pirates save you would be worse than praying that the star beast ahead stops in time and you simply turn and leave.

That's simply impossible.

So, upon hearing the leader's words, although the others were unwilling, they nevertheless nodded in agreement.

But just as several people were about to take out their own space rings, the Viper gang, led by a chieftain, had already rushed forward.

"Wait, we are willing to hand over the treasures."

Seeing this, the leader shouted urgently, but the space pirates didn't even glance at him, rushing straight past his side.

"Huh???"
