Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 686: Section 681 - Slaying a Friend

"How about now? Will you still refuse? Once you miss this chance, it will be an irrevocable disaster, the apocalypse for the Human Race."

Chen Fei again described some apocalyptic scenes talked about by the boss, Louis Landon, as if they were real, which was quite frightening.

If it weren't for the boss's words, it would be like seeing with one's own eyes and experiencing it personally. Now he was bent on hunting Parasitic Species and was in a relentless struggle with the "Sagali." Chen Fei absolutely would not allow such tragedies to happen to him—death, separation, and devastation.

So, he had to fight desperately, no other reasons needed.

"I..."

Initially filled with rage upon receiving Chen Fei's call, Minante gradually fell into contemplation.

After all, hearing the name of the Extraterrestrial Race "Sagali" again made it feel somewhat unreal.

"Time and 'Sagali' won't wait for anyone, Minante, I need you to make a decision quickly."

Chen Fei finally gave a light kick.

"Wait, I need to think it over."

Minante eventually hung up the call; he needed to do more than just consider—he had to report this matter.

After all, it concerned the reemergence of the Extraterrestrial Race "Sagali," and he alone couldn't make this decision.

"Done!"

Chen Fei put down his phone and met Princess Lin Ziyu's gaze, which was cast from not too far away.

Shen Fei, the gang's behind-the-scenes leader, went to issue new orders to the Hundred-Legs Gang, while Her Royal Highness the Princess eavesdropped on Chen Fei's call with the Rebel Army member.

"That person you were talking to...can he be trusted?"

Princess Lin Ziyu didn't hide the fact that she had been eavesdropping.

"Of course, he can be trusted—so reliable he almost wanted to kill me!"

Chen Fei assured with utter certainty.

"..."

Her Royal Highness, instead, started to worry a bit more.

That statement somehow didn't seem very reliable at all.

-

Chen Fei's assurance was, to some extent, trustworthy.

An hour later, Minante initiated a call.

"'Rookie,' if you dare to deceive me, I will never let you go, no matter the circumstance."

He squeezed out his last bit of trust for Chen Fei.

"Time, place, person—I'll show you the evidence. A special friendly reminder, the evidence is alive and excels in Mental Shock. If unprepared, it might lead to fatalities."

Chen Fei laughed. He clearly understood the purpose of the other party's call.

Even the Rebel Army couldn't truly ignore the presence of "Sagali." The Slan Dynasty wanted the sovereign rule of Zilu Continent. Even if the Rebel Army was defeated, many could still survive, but "Sagali" were ruthlessly slaughtering everyone indiscriminately, leaving no hope for survival.

As a Blue Star Person, Chen Fei had no direct conflict of interest with the Rebel Army, hence this opportunity for dialogue arose.

"A car will come to pick you up soon. Dare to come?"

As Chen Fei had anticipated, Minante on the other side was already prepared.

"Dare, of course, dare!"

Chen Xiao'er was always bold.

He wasn't worried about the Rebel Army setting a trap to bury him; he was more afraid of the other side refusing to communicate.

Communication is half the success, Minante's call meant that much of what came next was already halfway to success.

Two hours later, the sky gradually darkened.

The hovering patrol drones spotted two military jeeps and a large truck slowly approaching the upscale business hotel—not only the drones in the sky but also lookouts and guards from the gang issued alerts at the same time.

The Cangqiong Star Civilization's modern mechanical industrial system had only just started not long ago. Some high-end mechanical products often depended on imports from Blue Star, and military vehicles were almost invariably manufactured by Blue Star.

Chen Fei stood alone with a few large cages, waiting at the entrance of the hotel for a long time.

The convoy came to a stop, and the first to jump out was the captain of the Gale Team, Minante, who charged at Chen Fei and shouted, "'Rookie,' you really have some nerve!"

Seemingly oblivious to the underlying meaning in the other party's words, Chen Fei just nodded with a grin.

"Thanks for the compliment!"

If he were a bit less courageous, he couldn't have made it in this line of work, let alone survived.

The brave triumphs in a perilous encounter, and who are the brave? Of course, those who rely on their boldness and rush forward heatedly—advantage is mine, object and we fight.

"Are these the 'Sagali' you mentioned?"

Minante was not in the mood to spar with Chen Fei, his gaze shifting to the several cages just big enough for one person to sit, not even able to stand up straight inside.

Locked inside were clearly members of the Human Race, secured in a way that made it impossible for them to move.

The parasitic mutated spawns in the cages had already been abandoned by their originals, the hosts looking too listless to even resist.

"Correct!" Chen Fei looked back for a moment, then said, "The 'Sagali' are parasitic right in the chest area; here's a dissected sample."

Chen Fei took out a transparent jar from a Space System Alchemy Storage Device.

A half-foot-tall humanoid creature floated up and down in a viscous transparent liquid.

Big Boss Louis Landon personally conducted the surgery, brutally flaying a parasitic host alive. He killed the separated parasite and tossed it into this jar of preservative liquid.

Only a big boss who held a deep hatred for the Parasitic Species could perform such a heart-hardened task, hands steady as he ferociously operated. Wearing only nitrile rubber gloves, he forcefully pulled out the mutated parasitic spawn, and its incompletely separated neural antennae looked ragged and miserable.

During the dissection, everyone in the business hotel was subjected to a mental shock from the dying mutated parasitic spawn, suffering severe headaches.

Louis Landon, not being an ability user, had protection from alchemical artifacts and completely ignored the mental shock.

"Hiss!~"

Minante couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the large jar Chen Fei was holding.

At first glance, it looked like an unborn human embryo, but the complete human form and neural tendrils made it impossible to associate it with the Human Race.

"Is this, is this 'Sagali'?"

Although he still had his doubts, seeing the evidence now made Minante believe it almost entirely.

There was no reason for the other party to falsify this sort of thing, deceiving him would be meaningless.

"To be precise, this is a mutated parasitic spawn, a spawn, not the original body, a parasitic spawn split from the Royal Breed," Chen Fei said while revealing new information that he hadn't shared over the phone.

"What the hell is this?"

As a commoner, Minante naturally didn't know the secrets about the "Sagali" clan which only the Slan Royal Family knew.

"A fission mutation of the ninth rank Royal Breed, it's normal you haven't heard about it, as this is my first time hearing it as well," Chen Fei explained as he handed over the transparent large jar. Minante quickly caught it but couldn't help getting goosebumps.

He turned around and waved at the soldiers of the Rebel Army on the truck.

"Those guys, can you help to load it on the truck? Also, have you prepared protection against mental attacks?"

The soldiers of the Rebel Army looked towards Minante, who had temporary command over them.

"All set, load it on the truck!"

Minante repeated Chen Fei's command.

They had already prepared mental protection. As Cangqiong Star was the origin of alchemical artifacts, they had an abundance of artifacts to resist psychic attacks, and every soldier was equipped with various protective artifacts.

Several large iron cages were quickly loaded onto the truck. The truck's bed was somewhat crowded, and after covering it with a rainproof tarp, nothing could be seen from the outside.

Chen Fei and Minante sat in the back seat of one of the jeeps, and the convoy then started moving, leaving the upscale business hotel.

The atmosphere inside the vehicle was heavy as if a mountain were pressing down. Even the soldiers in the driver's and passenger's seats felt this inexplicable pressure.

The entire convoy moved silently, having an unobstructed path since it was within the Rebel Army's territory.

"'Rookie,' is this how you casually follow the enemy?"

Minante's lips twitched, finally breaking the oppressive silence.

"Huh?"

Chen Fei was confused.

"You killed my men, aren't you worried at all?"

Minante's anger flared up, and he yelled at Chen Fei.

He wished he could shoot him on the spot, but upon remembering that a level B Metal Ability User wouldn't care about being shot at, the fury immediately subsided.

"Worried about what? There's nothing to worry about!"

Chen Fei was genuinely perplexed. Killing his men wasn't the same as killing him or his family. On the battlefield, life and death were predestined, and survival depended on one's abilities; he couldn't understand where Minante's deep resentment was coming from.

"Is this how you always behave? Killing others' kin, then befriending them? I don't believe you always do this and still manage to survive!"

Chen Fei's calmness almost made Minante's nose skew.

"That's right! As a Dragon Slayer, being able to have one, no, a group of Giant Dragon friends is perfectly normal," Chen Fei said as he flashed a thumbs-up, asserting his flamboyant nature.

The Metallic Dragons never held grudges like Minante, who seemed ready to attack Chen Fei over every bit just to avenge his kin.

"You..."

Minante finally remembered the legends surrounding this guy.

Starting at the pinnacle, clashing with Giant Dragons, and still surviving—compared to him, he indeed fell short.

His furious expression gradually turned into one of perplexity.

He slowly lowered his head and dejectedly said, "I killed Hammu!"

"What?"

Chen Fei looked incredulously at Minante.

Hammu was indeed the original leader of the "Gale Team"; this was a fierce internal struggle within the "Gale Team," where a former team member had killed the previous team leader.

That was even more ruthless than what he had done to Minante's men.

No wonder upon seeing him, Minante looked off in both complexion and spirit, and inexplicably lashed out at him. It made sense to be angry, but that anger seemed almost as if Chen Fei had killed his own parents.

So, that was the truth!

Having personally taken down the person he was closest to, he must've been bearing a significant psychological burden!
