In front of the shocked expressions of the captains, the star map of Gray Valley was opened. Ye Zhong stood in front of the Star Territory Map, facing everyone, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "This is the Gray Valley. The area marked in red indicates the area where red-tailed beasts have appeared. Our current location is here." He pointed The iron scorpion floated on the star map, and his fingers crossed the star map, finally stopping at the most red area on the entire star map: "This is the front line, that's where we came from."
Everyone looked sad.
"Let me tell you some news. The passage from the Gray Valley to the Heyue Star Territory has been occupied by the red-tailed beast. As for where this red-tailed beast came from, it is still unclear until now."
"Ah!" Everyone was shocked, and many people stood up in excitement. Xiqing and Xiu looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions. This news was like a bolt from the blue, shattering all hopes of escaping to the Heyue Star Territory in an instant.
However, Master Jie seemed to feel that this was not shocking enough, and continued: "Everyone, look here, and here." His fingers pointed at the two wings of the red-tailed beast that were charging wildly.
"Shang, let me demonstrate." Ye Zhong quietly greeted Shang.
"Hey, I am indeed a coolie." Shang had a sad face, full of sorrow.
The red area on the star map on the holographic screen began to change slowly, and the red areas covered by the flanks at both ends spread forward at an alarming speed, forming two narrow red bands.
The two flanks finally merged!
At a planet called Casente, the two wings finally came together. After joining together, the red-tailed beasts spread out quickly. Create a red barrier. Cut the ashen grain in half. And that intense red color, which represented the large army of red-tailed beasts, began to move forward firmly.
In an instant, the encircling circle had completely turned into a sea of red.
There was dead silence in the conference room, and everyone looked ashen.
They may not understand combat, but they can still understand such an intuitive demonstration.
Is this their fate
Unexpectedly, their final fate would still be unable to escape the clutches of the red-tailed beast. Could it be that Yi. Jianshu, Cheng and the others have worked hard for so long but it was just a ridiculous farce
The air was oppressive and breathless. The vast red ocean on the star map made everyone's eyes turn scarlet.
For ten minutes no one said a word. In the huge conference room, the silence was as cold as the hearts of everyone.
It is indeed a rabble! Ye Chong shook his head secretly. After all, this was a temporary team. They would easily lose their fighting spirit when encountering real setbacks. If they were from the San tribe, they would never be so depressed.
In fact, Ye Zhong didn't know how important the red-tailed beast was in the eyes of ordinary people. Countless red-tailed beasts died in his hands. So he has no fear of red-tailed beasts. In the eyes of ordinary people, the red-tailed beast is synonymous with power and invincibility. Before Ye Zhong's victory, Ash Valley had not been able to achieve a larger-scale victory on the frontal battlefield.
Although they were inspired by the last victory, once they encountered difficulties, the idea that the red-tailed beasts were invincible would come out of their hearts.
Ye Chong felt that remaining silent was not a good choice, so he chose to speak: "But. We don't have no chance at all."
Everyone immediately raised their heads and stared at Ye Chong with burning eyes. Yes, don’t we have Master Jie
"Everyone has seen that these two red-tailed beast teams will gather on the planet Cassente. Our only chance is to rush through the planet Cassente before they form an encirclement." Ye Zhong said in a calm tone. With.
As soon as Ye Zhong finished speaking, many captains shouted with disappointment: "How is this possible?"
"That's right. This is simply impossible! Our speed is much slower than the red-tailed beast."
"If you say it, it means you haven't said it yet." Someone complained below.
…
Ye Chong looked at the noisy captains below. His eyes began to grow colder, but his indifference did not change at all. He tapped the table with his index finger.
Someone noticed something was wrong with Mr. Jie's face and quietly teased the captains who were venting their dissatisfaction. The captains who were complaining realized what they were doing when they saw Ye Zhong's face. Their faces instantly turned pale and they fell silent. Gradually, the complaints subsided and the conference room became quieter and quieter.
The conference room fell into dead silence again, except for the tapping sound of Mr. Jie's fingers tapping on the table. Every blow was like a heavy knock on everyone's heart, and no one dared to say a word. In this fleet, Master Jie has established absolute authority, and no one dares to disobey him. All the captains are travellers. How could they not figure out what kind of person Mr. Jie is? When you kill people, you will never blink an eye!
After all, Xiqing and Xiu are still too young and inexperienced at this time.
Ignoring these captains, Ye Zhong turned around, very calmly, and said to Xiqing and Xiudao, "If someone makes a noise in the conference room from now on, just ask them out."
Xiqing and Xiu heard the dissatisfaction in Ye Zhong's words, and they were immediately frightened. They immediately stood up and saluted, shouting: "Yes!"
The captains below all trembled in their hearts, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. They also knew how inappropriate the behavior just now was.
Looking around, Ye Zhong's eyes seemed to be a bit chilly. None of the captains dared to look directly at him and all lowered their heads.
"We are not discussing whether this is feasible or not. This is our only chance. Neither I nor you have a choice!" Ye Zhong emphasized every word, and then his tone returned to normal: "Of course, I am a very It’s a difficult question. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you here. According to the regular route, it is impossible to arrive. We are all captains with rich experience. I called you here just to ask what you know. Do you know of any space jump point that can reach the area behind the star Cassente?”
The captains looked at each other, feeling that Master Jie's idea was a little too unreliable. If there really was such a jumping point, I'm afraid it would have been discovered by people long ago, and it would definitely be exploited on a large scale.
The space shape of the Valley of Ashes is like an hourglass, and Cassente Star is located in the narrowest place in the middle of the hourglass. Another strange thing is that there is no space jump point nearby, and you can directly avoid Cassente Star. .
This is common sense. How could Mr. Jie not even know common sense
At this moment, a captain suddenly raised his hand hesitantly and said with some hesitation: "Master Jie, I, I know there is a place where maybe, maybe..."
The captain was very tall, about fifty years old, and had an obvious scar at the corner of his right eye. His eyes flickered a little, and he seemed hesitant to speak.
"Okay, everyone should think more about this issue. If you think of it, report it to me immediately. Let's go back first. Remember, we don't have much time. Well, I don't want to hear any rumors about it." Ye After Zhong finished speaking, he pointed at the captain who raised his hand just now: "You, you stay!"
After all the captains left, only Ye Zhong, Xiqing, Xiu and the captain who raised his hand were left in the room.
"Okay, we can talk now." Ye Zhong said.
The captain showed a relieved expression: "Master Jie, I know there is a place with a space jump point. We can jump directly to the vicinity of the Ghost Star."
"Where?" Everyone else in the room was very excited.
The captain hesitated, but still spoke: "In the Death Star Belt."
Xiqing and Xiu both changed their expressions at the same time. They looked at the captain with burning eyes. As long as he behaved slightly wrong, they would take action! Where is the Death Star Belt? This place with the name of death is filled with countless unpredictable dangers, and the unpredictable vortex of gravel is enough to crush the strongest spaceship in the world into pieces. The chance of survival after entering the Death Star Fragment Belt is no different from that of a red-tailed beast fighting head-on.
This guy has ulterior motives!
Did he want the entire fleet destroyed? Xiqing's eyes were filled with angry flames, while Xiu's eyes were getting colder and colder.
"Death Broken Star Belt? Where did you enter it? Where is it? How did you know?" To the surprise of the two, Lord Jie did not show any anger, but asked carefully.
At this time, the captain did not hesitate: "We are flying in the direction of thirty-three degrees of arrow diameter. It will take about fifteen days to enter the Death Star Fragment Belt. After entering the Death Star Fragment Belt, we have to fly About three days ago, I remember the coordinates of the space jump point very clearly, (79, 23, -661, Y). As for how I knew... "
He smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I used to be a space pirate."
Except for Ye Zhong who could remain calm, Xiqing and Xiu looked shocked.
"Haha, this was more than twenty years ago. At that time, we were bitten by a search team from the scientific research team, and our losses were almost total. There were only sixteen of us left. But that search team killed us We had no choice but to get into the Death Star Belt. It was only later that we discovered a space jump point. At that time, we didn’t know where this jump point was. But no matter where we went, it was better than in the Death Star Belt. Be strong. Haha, actually we were at the end of our rope at that time, our food and water were all used up, and we didn’t have much energy left. We had no choice but to bet our lives, and to our surprise, we were right.”
With the unique vicissitudes of time, a bit of memories, and a bit of self-mockery, he made it clear in a few words the cause and effect.
Xiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Isn't it said that no one can come out of Ghost Star? How did you come out?"
The captain shook his head: "We did not approach the Ghost Star, but flew along the edge of the Broken Star Belt. No one among the pirates dared to go to the Ghost Star. This is an unwritten rule in the industry."
Death Star Belt…
Ye Zhong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.
