Qi Le

The ground is dark, and the dark river is surging and icy cold.

In the turbulent water, there are often mutated fish floating on the surface. The streamlined body is covered with blue scales from head to tail, sharp fangs protrude from the mouth, and a half-meter-long bone spur stands on the back.Due to living in the dark for a long time, his eyesight has completely degraded, and his actions are completely sensed by touch.

These dark river fish are scattered throughout the river, relying on ore for a living, unless they are provoked, they rarely attack outsiders, which can be regarded as a different kind among strange beasts.

However, the crew members didn't know about these dark river fish, and they had to cross the entire river, and they were always on tenterhooks, for fear of being regarded as a threat and attracting attacks from the other side.

The broken companions may not be able to last for a long time, and those monsters are likely to catch up at any time.If they angered these overlords in the river and were stopped in the middle, there was only one dead end waiting for them.

Sati regained some strength, slid off the back of the crew, swung the silver fish tail, moved forward along the water, and approached a dark river fish covered with dark green stripes under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"captain!"

"Don't shout, I'm fine."

Satie approaches the target, tongue strikes the gums and makes underwater noises

The dark river fish was attracted, and slowly turned its direction, using the tentacles on the side of its mouth to find out where Sati was.

"We have no malicious intentions, we are just running for our lives." Satie converted the words into sound waves to appease the dark river fish in a vigilant posture.Gritting his teeth, he took out two precious blue star crystal nuclei and handed them to the dark river fish.

"We need help."

Most of the populations of Pyridus live in water, and they are naturally close to aquatic populations.Even if you can't communicate, you can try to eliminate the hostility of the other party.

Satie has never been to the ninth death star, but has seen similar aquatic beasts on other planets.She is betting that the other party will understand her meaning, and even if she does not help, she will not block the way.

It couldn't get any worse.

Even a little helping hand can help everyone find a way out.

"Moo-"

The dark river fish opened its mouth and let out a cry similar to that of a bull or beast.The tentacles swung back and forth, swept away the crystal nucleus in Satie's hand, crushed it with fangs, and swallowed it into his stomach in a blink of an eye.

After eating the crystal nucleus, the dark river fish turned sideways, touched Satie with its ventral fin, and signaled her to climb onto its back.

Satie was overjoyed and tentatively grabbed the bone spurs of the dark river fish. Seeing that the other party did not resist, she quickly climbed onto the river fish's back and fixed her body between the two bone spurs.

The dark river fish screamed again, and its tail swung from side to side, creating waves of water.

Satie waved her hands continuously, condensing five or six bubbles, enveloping the entire crew in it.The bubbles are connected to each other, and a long transparent belt extends from the front end, firmly grasping in Satie's hand.

Everything was in place, the dark river fish began to rush forward, the turbulent water did not constitute an obstacle at all, and the streamlined body moved through the darkness at a speed beyond imagination.

Seeing the "water wall" retreating rapidly, the crew couldn't help but exclaimed, and hurriedly covered their mouths, only to remember that they were wrapped in air bubbles, and they no longer had to worry about being choked by the river water.

Without Satie's bubbles, everyone couldn't breathe at all, and they would have already drowned at the bottom of the river.

The zombies killed the broken crew and entered the dark river through the cracks in the rock wall.

It's a pity that there is only the raging river in front of him, and there are no shadows of Satie and others.

Seeing Gu Xuan's "importance" to these crew members with his own eyes, Pontuk knew very well in his heart that if he allowed the prey to escape, he would definitely be punished.Regardless of other things, he let out a piercing roar, his body swelled up, and he jumped into the water.

The Bone Wing Zombie followed behind him, moving forward along the river, his eyes flashing red, looking extremely frightening.

The zombies were unscrupulous and made too much noise, which finally angered the owner of the dark river.

One after another, dark river fish gathered, their hard bone spurs broke through the water surface, locked on the target in the dark, jumped up, pierced the intruder with bone spurs and fangs, then fell into the water surface, and quickly dived into the bottom of the river.

They are not interested in zombies, but the mussels and octopus in the river are outright carnivores.Due to the extreme lack of food, these river bottom residents never refused to come. No matter how bad the smell of the zombies was, they would still gnaw until there were no bones left.

When Gu Xuan arrived, three skull-winged zombies had already been buried in the underground river. Pontuk was seriously injured and struggled to get back to the shore. Several blood holes were pierced in his stomach. Thick black blood continued to flow, polluting the nearby water surface.

The dark river fish sensed the crisis, quickly swung its tail, and disappeared into the turbulent water.

Gu Xuan spread his wings, looked at the flowing river, and roared angrily.Focusing on the hidden river fish that was behind, when he was about to make a move, there was a sudden violent shaking above his head.

Zombies who have lived on the Death Star for several months know exactly what this means.

Gu Xuan gave up the target, vibrating his wings, flew close to the top of the river, clenched his fist with one hand, and struck out suddenly.

With a loud noise, the stone wall shook even more violently.

After a few heavy blows, a crack was forcibly broken through the hard stone wall. The crack was covered with spider veins, and gravel rolled down one after another.

The zombies rushed out one after another, followed behind Gu Xuan, and rushed to the place where the explosion started.

It was a large merchant ship that fell.

Most of the hull was scorched, but some parts are still intact.Especially the command cabin, due to the protection of the outer bulkhead, there is almost no major damage.

The crew members were saving themselves, not realizing that death was quietly approaching.

On this terrifying planet, they have to face not only storms and alien beasts, but also hordes of corpses trapped on the death star that are on the verge of madness.

On Blue Star, Father Cat bought enough goods and was being carried out of the dock by the captain.

The rain had come to an end, but the sky was still shrouded in dark clouds, and it was always gloomy, without a ray of sunshine.

Qi Le lay in Xi Yaer's arms, looked up and looked around, saw Alpha waiting at the exit of the dock, saw the kitten and Tai Sui standing on his shoulders, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Alpha came closer and put the kitten into Qi Le's arms.The first thing the father cat does is hug his son tightly, rub the kitten's forehead, and lick his ears and furry cheeks.

The kitten raised its head, squinted its eyes, and made a meowing sound, acting cute and coquettish.

Tai Sui moved to Xi Yaer's side, opened his mouth and hiccupped loudly.

The cat father took a look, and before he could ask, he heard the kitten say, "Tai Sui ate a guy who attacked me."

"what?!"

"Just now." The kitten raised its paw and pointed to a corridor on the left, "When it came over, there was a weird guy who wanted to attack me, I gave him two paws, and then Tai Sui ate him. "

Qi Le looked up at Alpha, waiting for the medical officer to explain.

Alpha was taking out the recorder, and noticed Qi Le's gaze, the color was still transparent without any change.

"It's the population of Green Rock Star. Strictly speaking, they are not intelligent populations, but a kind of alienated companion plant, which is raised by some populations of Star Six and used as offensive and defensive weapons."

"A companion plant?" Qi Le looked at Tai Sui, saw him nodding, raised his paw and patted the kitten lightly, "Son, don't just joke around."

Judging by Kitten's tone, he thought it was a pirate.

"Meow." The kitten let out a flattering cry, buried its head in its paws, its appearance was too cute to describe in words, and it couldn't get angry no matter how angry it was.

"What's going on?" the cat dad asked.

"This alienated companion plant has natural enemies, and it is a kind of saltwater beast." Alpha turned on the recorder, called up relevant information, and projected it on the virtual light screen, saying, "Probably this cub is infected Put on a similar smell to make the other party have an illusion."

"A similar smell?"

"Yes, more than 90.00% of the green rock star population has no vision, and basically relies on smell and touch perception. Most of them have simple thinking. No matter who they are, as long as they are considered a threat, they will be attacked, and the population that raises them cannot avoid it. .”

Star Six belongs to the immigrant galaxy, and the population composition is very complicated.There are people like Moran who are naturally poisonous and powerful in combat, and there are also those who belong to the five scum of war and need to rely on external protection.

In view of the population characteristics of the Green Rock Star, the merchants and pirates who raised them are very cautious, and they will not be released from the nutrition cabin unless they are in danger.

It can only be said that it was a coincidence that two businessmen had a dispute, and one of them fell into a disadvantage and released the companion vine in a fit of anger.The kitten happened to come to Qi Le, and was sensed by the companion plant, mistaking him for a natural enemy, and attacked on the spot.

After playing the whole process, Alpha took out the communicator again, and a businessman with a round body and a pink bubble appeared on the screen.

"I'm sorry." The businessman's eyes were full of tears, and his leaf-like tentacles drooped. "No matter how angry you are, you should. You can put forward any conditions, and I will do everything in my power."

"It doesn't need to be like this." Qi Le said, "In the final analysis, this is a misunderstanding. I am very sorry for your loss of companion plants. It must be very important to you, and I will make compensation."

Such a round bubble was crying in front of his eyes, and Dad Cat always felt that he was bullying others.

"No, the cub is the most precious treasure. It is my companion plant that threatens the safety of your child. No matter how angry you are, you should. And it is the daughter plant that is eaten, not the mother plant. No compensation is required. "

The businessman apologized again, even though Qi Le repeatedly stated that he didn't need compensation, he still insisted on keeping a batch of exotic animal meat, and left after unloading, not even giving Father Cat the chance to send it back.

After the communication was over, Qi Le sniffed the kitten carefully, and there was indeed a faint smell of a sea beast.

Father Cat frowned.

"Son, tell me the truth." The father cat patted the kitten with his paw, his expression was very serious, and his tone was quite stern, "What's going on?"

"Meow." The kitten opened its eyes wide.

"It's useless to be cute!" Father Cat was unwavering.

"Meow~" The sugar content is five stars.

The cat dad insisted not to surrender.

"Meow." The kitten's ears drooped down, which was pitiful.

The cat father was so cute that his liver trembled, and he exhausted his last ounce of resistance to persevere to the end.

All kinds of methods were used in turn, all of which were declared useless.Knowing that there is no way to hide it, the kitten finally told the truth: "I ate sea fish, which was given by Tai Sui."

Tai Sui burped again, shook his tentacles, and said, "I gave it to him, and found it from the storage room of the base."

"Storage room?" Qi Le and Alpha spoke at the same time.

"First of all, the person in charge of the storage room gave it to me! I just went back to have a look, they gave it to me and Qining!" Tai Sui straightened his tentacles, "If you don't believe me, you can check the monitor!"

Father Cat was stunned.

What to say?

Does Tai Sui love the storage room of the base deeply, or is the caretaker too unprincipled?

Alpha was very surprised.

From when Tai Sui and the kitten went underground to when the two came out, the interval was not long.How did they find the passage and successfully enter the storage room in such a short period of time?

No matter how he thought about it, the medical officer couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only admit that the Blue Star creature was really amazing.

Shiar pinched Qi Le's ear, supported his hind leg with one arm, and said, "It should be the sixth storage room, where there is newly delivered sea animal meat from Constellation."

"Palus?"

"Yes." The captain squeezed Qi Le's paw pad, "Want to try it?"

While speaking, his slender fingers moved upwards along the paw pads, and successfully rubbed Papa Cat's belly.After kneading it twice, it's not finished, and I don't even intend to let go!

The cat dad squinted his eyes, waved his claws decisively, and gave the captain two more scratches.

After leaving the dock, Alpha received the communication and immediately went to the laboratory.

Qi Le counted the goods, confirmed that they were correct, bid farewell to Xi Yaer, and prepared to return to the territory.

"Leave now?" Xi Yaer put Qi Le down, touched the ground with one knee, and rubbed his ear with his fingertips.The slender fingers went all the way down the back, stopped near the tail, and pressed twice lightly.

An indescribable feeling suddenly rose up, the cat father meowed, and bit Shi Yaer's hand.The teeth are not very dynamic, rather than biting, it is better to say it is holding.

Ignoring the flashing communicator, the captain squeezed the back of Qi Le's neck, took out a red fruit from the space button, and brought it directly to his mouth.

Smelling the familiar smell, Qi Le let go of Xi Yaer's hand, took a bite of the fruit, and swallowed it in several mouthfuls.When the captain got up, he suddenly turned into a humanoid form, grabbed his collar with both hands, raised his head and kissed his chin.

In fact, he wanted to kiss the lips.

However, there is a gap in height, the angle is not accurate, and it directly touches the chin.Looking into his icy blue eyes, Qi Le decided to make a mistake, turned his head, and bit the captain's neck again.

Shiar covered her neck, and froze on the spot for the first time.

Father Cat licked his lips, took half a step back, and turned back into Lihua.He turned around and flicked his tail, motioning for Kitten and Tai Sui to follow, and was about to run out of the gate of the base with his claws.

Before he took two steps, he was suddenly picked up by a big hand.

The captain raised Lihua and looked at each other for two seconds. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled up, his head tilted forward, and he successfully buried it in his soft belly.

He knows it!

Qi Le raised his front paw, but suddenly stopped halfway, did not pop out the tip of the claw, and touched Xi Yaer's hair with the pad of the paw.

One, two, three.

The captain didn't respond, but tightened his grip.The cat father finally ran out of patience, and swung his paw on the spot with a meow.

Xial finally raised her head, facing the healing red scar, and put her mouth on Papa Cat's ears.By the way, grab Dad Cat's front paws to avoid adding a few more scars.

The soldiers on duty happened to pass by. Seeing this scene, represented by Sani, they collectively looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and were speechless for a long time.

Is this person in front of him the captain of the starship with a laser cannon?Is it the commander of the Blue Star base who is so famous that the pirates are frightened and the upper echelons of the fleet are afraid?

No, it must have been raining too much, their brains were filled with water, and they collectively had hallucinations.

After Qi Le left, Xi Yaer just returned to the command tower.At this time, at least half an hour had passed since Gaspas sent the communication.

Surprisingly, Fusta was very patient and never cut off the signal, nor did she get annoyed because she felt neglected.Oren leaned against the wall, frowning, he hesitated to speak several times, but finally fell silent.

Accompanied by a soft sound, the metal door slid open to one side, but it was not Shiar who walked in, but Sanders who was holding a communicator.

"The commander has returned and is now in the command room on the top floor," Sanders said.

Gaspas nodded, without saying much, he walked to the wall and covered the control panel with his palm.The next moment, the silver metal cover lifted up, revealing a blue screen that occupied half of the wall.

Slender fingers slide on the control panel, and a white cross star lights up on the screen.

After the white light disappeared, the image of Xial appeared in front of several people.

Fusta's figure was projected in the room, perhaps because the signal was strengthened, it appeared more and more clearly.It's not the white light passing through the hem of the long skirt, it's almost like the real person is right in front of you.

"Commander, nice to meet you." Fusta nodded lightly, her every move was like a textbook, elegant and charming, but without the slightest warmth, giving people an endless sense of indifference.

"Hello, ma'am." Shiar returned the salute and said straight to the point, "Do you wish to meet with me?"

"Yes." Fusta straightened her back and said a shocking sentence, "I hope to cooperate with you in exchange for your protection."

"My shelter?"

"Yes." Fusta looked directly at Shiar and said word by word, "I am sincere and willing to do my best to provide you with all the information you need, including the hidden secrets of the Parliament and the Senate."

"What made you make such a decision?"

"My husband." Fusta didn't hide anything, and her expression didn't change, "He made too many stupid decisions, and he didn't listen to persuasion, he was stubborn, and he would go further and further down the stupid road. I can foresee , the entire family will be influenced by him, and one day in the future, it is likely to be destroyed."

"So, you are here to save the family?"

"No." Fusta said firmly, "For myself and my child."

"Your child?" Shiar raised her eyebrows.

"I know you are skeptical, but I must say that I have done everything I can."

At this point, Fusta turned to Oren.

"I was the one who convinced your father and pushed the trial forward. Because I understand that you can't stay on the mother planet, and you shouldn't even stay in the family."

"Without my push, Leia wouldn't have boarded the same spaceship as you, and you wouldn't be escorted by such a group of idiots."

Oren looked at Fusta in surprise, as if looking at a stranger.

He had a feeling that from the beginning to the end, he never knew his mother, never.

After Qi Le left the base, thinking of the heavy rain that had been coming for several days, recalling the flood in the last rainy season, he couldn't help feeling worried, so he went around the border to check.

Discovering the soaring water level in the river, Papa Cat frowned, and decided that after going back, he must persuade Red Oak and Black Pine to call the clansmen to move out of the trap as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

The drainage system they dug worked well enough to hold up a sudden flood.

It's really too late.

The aircraft lifted off, and Qi Le was about to leave when he suddenly found a team of army ants.

There are more than 100 members in this team, the number is too small, it doesn't look like a migrating group.

The leader was a few soldier ants, and there was no queen ant in the team. In addition, the actions of the ant colony were somewhat disordered, as if they were in a panic, which made Qi Le believe that they were probably separated from the same group.

In the rainy season, this is not uncommon.

If you are lucky, you will be able to reunite with your clansmen; if you are unlucky, you may die if you encounter a flood.

During the last rainy season, Qi Le and Squirrel collected a lot of army ants, relying on ant shells and ant meat, they survived until the flood receded.Seeing this team stuck on the river bank, Dad Cat decided to do a good deed by lowering his altitude immediately, hovering above the ant colony, and gesturing outward through the light shield when the opponent was posing in a threatening pose.

The leading soldier ant shook its antennae, completely confused about what this native cat wanted to do.

Seeing that the other party could communicate, Qi Le boldly opened the protective cover, pointed his claws at the upper reaches of the river, and said, "I saw a group of army ants in that direction, and the distance is not far away. If you get separated from the group, you can catch up and touch them." luck."

The soldier ant stopped moving, looking even more puzzled.

Why did this native cat help them?

"Don't ask why, in short, if you want to help, you can help." Qi Le just poked his head out, but his ears were wet by the rain, and he immediately retracted and sneezed twice in succession.

The soldier ants shook their antennae to communicate with their companions.

More than 100 army ants moved immediately, their long legs intertwined, hooked one by one, and stretched out like a long bridge.The few leading ones were facing the river, not afraid of the turbulent river water at all. They aimed at the target, and plunged their claws into the water.

After the soldier ants succeeded, the worker ants got the order and began to drag backwards vigorously.Following their movements, a five-meter-long poisonous snake wrapped in black and red rings was pulled out of the water.

The venomous snake has three heads, one of which has been torn open by the army ants, bleeding out bright red blood, and the other two keep spitting out letters, trying to intimidate the opponent.

It's a pity that the army ants are not the ones who will be scared at all. They will become stronger when they are strong. They use the claws to crush the snake's skull, take out the crystal nucleus inside, turn around and send it directly under the aircraft.

The movements are smooth and flowing, crisp and neat.

"For me?" Qi Le asked in surprise.

The army ants shook their antennae and nodded.

When Qi Le brought the news of the group, they used the crystal nucleus of the strange beast as a gift, and they owed each other nothing.As for the remaining snake meat, it was divided into several sections on the spot and brought along on the road to replenish energy.

Army ants make their way upriver along the river bank and soon disappear in the rain.Qi Le watched them leave, quickly put away the crystal nucleus, raised the aircraft, turned the direction, and continued to advance towards the territory.

Both parties thought it was a chance encounter and didn't take it to heart.It never occurred to me that the seeds of friendship have been planted, and one day they will germinate and blossom, and bear rich fruits.

For the next few days, Qi Le stayed in the territory, waiting for the heavy rain to pass.

The squirrels listened to his advice and checked the river at the edge of the territory first. After confirming that the water level was dangerous, they moved immediately, took their cubs into an underground bunker, and became neighbors with the mole that hadn't left yet.

The black spider entered the depths of the bunker and began to arrange the nest, making preparations for breeding small spiders.

Qi Le had nothing to do, so he took out the recorder that Xi Yaer gave him, and started to learn about galaxies.

Life in the bunker is boring, and novelty always attracts the cub's attention.

The kitten and the little squirrel were the first to show interest, and then called the little mole over. More than 20 hairballs huddled together, shared the exotic animal meat and crystal nucleus, looked at the image projected on the cave wall, sighed once or twice from time to time, and occasionally argued a few words, which seemed extraordinarily lively.

There was really no result in the argument, so the hairballs all turned to Qi Le and asked him to judge.

Father Cat lay on one side, posing in a classic farmer's suit, and yawned lazily.Looking at the hairballs around him, he suddenly discovered that, in addition to being a friend of women, he also has the potential to become the king of children.

On the eighth day, the rain began to decrease, and it was time to meet the killer whale.

Qi Le brought a sufficient amount of medicine and foreign plant materials, ready to go to the appointed place.

The black spider wanted to go together, but the rain was too heavy and the space of the aircraft was too small. After entering, he couldn't move his hands and feet, so he had to give up temporarily and wait for the opportunity.

"Dad, give these to Sanhu and the others!" The kitten put the fresh meat of different animals into the space button.

Father Cat nodded, thinking of the tall orca with such a rustic name, he still couldn't help laughing.

After everything was ready, Qi Le took the kitten and Tai Sui aboard the aircraft, waved to the squirrels and black spiders on the ground, and started the official journey of Erdao traffickers.
