Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 921 - 652: Return

"Why are you sending us back?" The five legendary pilots emerged from the cabin, looking puzzled at the enormous machine gently lowering them down.

Their mechs had suffered varying degrees of damage, losing the ability to move on their own.

On such a vast planet, they could only wait for the arrival of the rescue team.

However, due to some unknown incident, they had to make an emergency retreat, and whether they could be rescued in time was uncertain.

"In the face of a foreign enemy, we're at least on the same side." Bai E didn't respond to them, only looking up at the sky.

The oppression from the Bug Race grew ever more intense, the impact of their malicious intent constantly assaulting his spiritual energy perception.

This invading Bug Race fleet was far more powerful than any Bug Race he'd encountered before!

"Prepare to retreat!"

"Get ready to open the space corridor!"

"We won't abandon any ship! To ensure we can all retreat together, please have all present ships join the spiritual energy beacon network to ensure all of our ships' mapping positions are aligned."

The core command from the Peak Alliance echoed in the communication channels of every ship present, as each captain began to swiftly and nervously follow the orders.

"Wait!" The landing craft from the mothership picked up the legendary pilots, and the pilot, having completed the mission, was eager to retreat immediately.

Seeing the solitary mech still left behind, the legendary pilots standing at the boarding gate looked at the mech cockpit, nearly as tall as they were, and extended an invitation, "Why don't you come with us?"

The landing craft for emergency rescue was not large and couldn't carry a heavy mech.

Moreover, Bai E's mech was not suited for air combat, making it difficult to fly back directly to the space carrier.

It was too far to return to his own evacuation craft, and time might not be sufficient.

Bai E hesitated for a moment before agreeing to their invitation.

Accompanied by the soft sound of the pressure seal releasing, Bai E stepped out from the unfolded cockpit of the Mountain Foothills mech.

"Is he the mysterious pilot?"

"Is he the one who single-handedly defeated the four of you?"

As the man exited from the cockpit, the five legendary pilots squinted, sizing him up.

"Get closer and prepare to activate the tractor beam," Xing Hen stood at the boarding gate, issuing a command to the craft's pilot.

The rescue craft had difficulty taking off and landing, and they had all been brought up by the tractor beam.

What she didn't expect was that right after her words, the man who had stepped out of the Mountain Foothills' mech cockpit made a backward crouching move and then leaped forward aggressively.

Before she could even react, the figure shot into the boarding gate like a shadow.

"He just jumped over?!"

"..."

The two legendary pilots closest were dumbfounded, and the most rugged-looking man among them gulped hard.

"Is he even human?"

As legendary pilots, their own abilities were undoubtedly formidable.

They might not be an army of one, but facing ordinary human armies, provided the other side didn't deploy heavy firepower, taking on dozens or even hundreds alone wasn't a problem.

But now... he just jumped over from the mech cockpit over a hundred meters away?!

Was he not afraid of falling?

Being able to do it was one thing, but daring to try it was the truly astonishing part, implying absolute confidence.

What kind of monster is he...

Watching Bai E leap in, the legendary pilots felt intimidated and remained silent for a moment.

They exchanged glances, creating an awkward tension.

Fortunately, the craft's pilot remembered his duty, and after boarding everyone, started piloting the craft toward the cosmos.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Amidst the vibrations of breaking through the atmosphere, the only female among the five legendary pilots couldn't help but speak while gazing at the figure staring at the cosmos overhead, "May I know your name, sir?"

Bai E moved slightly and replied with a side glance, "Bai E."

As the conversation started, Victor Dragon Roar, sporting crimson red hair and a dragon tattoo on his face, immediately inquired, "Are you a planet? Or a star?"

"..." Bai E remained silent, without a word.

He was not clear about his current strength level, let alone match it with the recognized levels in the universe.

Faced with Bai E's silence, Victor's lips moved, but he dared not press further.

Not answering meant not wanting to answer; a strong person has their pride, which is normal.

However...

"He's unarmed right now..." Pirate King Salvador signaled with his eyes.

He wasn't from the Business Alliance, so civil society's rules didn't bind him.

In the world of pirates, it's survival of the fittest.

Having such a powerful pilot like Bai E in the same vicinity was undoubtedly a fatal threat to him; he certainly didn't want to encounter such a formidable foe during a robbery.

"Let's take him down..."

'Perhaps we could even earn a bounty from the Business Alliance.' His uncovered left eye stared coldly at Bai E as Salvador's right hand moved to his gun.

A pilot without their mech is undoubtedly at their most vulnerable.

Usually, legendary pilots wouldn't place themselves in danger, and in significant events, they typically have a contingency of their country's fighters for protection.

Plus, given their own prowess, danger is rarely a concern.
