Chapter 56
They heard that there might be an eighth-level or ninth-level interstellar beast there. Several people stopped talking and just waited for Lu Junzhi to give the order.
Chu Muxi looked over and found Zhao Lei and the other three people did not have any timid expressions on their faces. Their expressions were indifferent. It seemed that no matter whether Lu Junzhi ordered an attack or a retreat, they would execute it without fear.
As expected of the person Lu Junzhi brought out, with the Imperial Marshal here, Chu Muxi’s little uneasiness gradually dissipated.
“What should we do?” Chu Muxi asked.
“Check the equipment again.” Lu Junzhi ordered.
“Yes.” Zhao Lei and the other two people began to count the equipment they brought with them.
“How?”
“If it’s just an ordinary eighth-level or ninth-level beast, we can try it. It’s no problem to return it whole body.” Zhao Lei replied.
Lu Junzhi nodded. His people never spoke big words. They would simply calculate all planned routes, including retreat.
“Don’t be alarmed, go and investigate first. The purpose of our coming here is not for the interstellar beasts, do you understand?” Lu Junzhi said in a deep voice.
“Yes.”
“I understand.”
“I understand.”
The three of them replied in unison.
“Zhao Lei goes to the front to explore the way. The big man and the bald man will set up traps and protective shields, then take action.” Lu Junzhi gave the instructions one by one in an orderly manner.
Chu Muxi saw the other three people running out immediately, and he could only see three black figures going in three directions.
.
“Me, what should I do?” Chu Muxi asked.
Lu Junzhi touched his head and warned in a gentle voice: “Stay here obediently and don’t go anywhere, okay?”
Chu Muxi said, “Okay, I will stay here, don’t worry.”
Lu Junzhi smiled lightly, then asked him to sit down against the mountain wall, and took out a capsule and handed it to him. “This is a special protective cover. If there is danger later, just crush the capsule and open the protective cover directly. It can protect for three hours. It can withstand a starship cannon attack.”
Chu Muxi was stunned and immediately reacted. “This is for you -” This kind of thing must be with Lu Junzhi. After all, one Lu Junzhi was much more important than hundreds of starships.
Lu Junzhi held his hand and said, “No, keep it. If you hold it, I will feel at ease.”
Chu Muxi understood what Lu Junzhi meant. He felt warm in his heart and couldn’t hold it back. He leaned forward and kissed Lu Junzhi on the face. Then he quickly retracted and sat down. He said: “Then you must be careful! If the situation goes wrong, we will retreat immediately. We can come here next time.”
But Chu Muxi also knew that next time, they might not have such a good opportunity.
Chu Tianhao was becoming more and more impatient with him. It was estimated the people behind him were also keeping an eye about this place. Maybe if they went back this time, Chu Tianbao would send someone here.
If Chu Muxi wanted to act first, he must let Lu Junzhi knew about the new energy stone then they could negotiate terms with other forces in the empire.
Chu Muxi was sitting here and heard a signal from Zhao Lei.
Lu Junzhi patted Chu Muxi on the shoulder and headed over there.
Chu Muxi looked at his back, clenched the capsule in his hand, and silently prayed for Lu Junzhi and the others.
At this moment, there was a loud noise inside, and Chu Muxi felt that the entire cave seemed to be shaking. The roar of wild beasts came from the depths of the cave. It sounded painful.
‘Is it done?’
Chu Muxi didn’t dare to move. His force value was negative now, and he would be a hindrance when he rushed over.
He could only sit here and not cause trouble for them.
.
Zhao Lei’s voice sounded: “I’ve trapped it! Marshal!”
“Bald head, stab its wings.” Lu Junzhi ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Then the ground shook again, and the interstellar beast’s painful roar became more intense.
“Marshal, it broke through the restraint net! Be careful!” Zhao Lei shouted.
Lu Junzhi was still giving instructions in a deep voice. “Don’t panic, Zhao Lei, go up to the raised place on your left. Go there.” Then he said, “Come here bald man, open the protective shield here.”
“Yes! Marshal!”
“Here it comes!”
All Chu Muxi could hear was Lu Junzhi giving orders in an orderly manner one after another.
“Marshal! Danger -!” the big man shouted.
Chu Muxi sat up straight suddenly. What was going on? Was Lu Junzhi in danger?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and for the first time, he hated his own inability to do anything. When he got a teacher in the future, he must learn well about mechas.
Then he would make a small, close-fitting mecha for Lu Junzhi, one that could fight even in a cave like this.
Chu Muxi, who had set a goal for himself, suddenly became motivated. As long as he could help Lu Junzhi, he thought and prayed for Lu Junzhi’s safety.
.
After a long mournful cry, the calm returned to the cave.
After a while, Chu Muxi heard a messy footstep approaching him from far away.
Chu Muxi stood up suddenly, “Lu da-ge!”
Lu Junzhi did not step forward but stopped in place, probably quite a distance away from him.
“Marshal——” Zhao Lei hesitated.
Chu Muxi frowned slightly; something flashed through his mind, and he immediately walked quickly towards Lu Junzhi who stopped not far away. When he got closer, he found that it was lit up inside.
At a glance, he saw Lu Junzhi standing not far from him, his right hand covering his left arm, and his nose smelled the smell of blood.
“You’re injured!” Chu Muxi strode up to Lu Junzhi and reached out to touch his arm.
Lu Junzhi stepped back and said, “Don’t touch it, there’s blood.” He was afraid of getting Chu Muxi’s hands dirty.
Chu Muxi held back the sadness in his heart and said, “Let me see.”
Zhao Lei scratched the back of his head. The camouflage uniform on his body was also scratched. The big man and the bald man were standing in the distance and looking down, very embarrassed.
Even so, Chu Muxi had to sigh in his heart, everyone was worthy of being Lu Junzhi’s personal guard. Surprisingly, four people directly defeated a ninth-level interstellar beast.
“I’ll bandage it for you. I can do it.” Chu Muxi raised his head and looked at Lu Junzhi, fearing that the other party would misunderstand him as timid.
Lu Junzhi shook his head, “Not clean.” His wound was stained with the blood of the interstellar beast. He was not worried about ordinary toxins, but Chu Muxi’s body was more delicate than theirs.
He didn’t know if the blood of the interstellar beast contained toxins, it was better for Chu Muxi not to touch it.
Zhao Lei rolled his eyes in his heart: “You didn’t let me bandage you just now, wasn’t it just to let young master Chu see you injured.”
Alas, people in love had negative IQs. Now it seemed that even the invincible Imperial Marshal couldn’t escape this fragrance love rule.
