Chapter 48: Pursuit

  Fang Kai whispered a few words to Pang Dong and Qiao Mu's ears, then charged forward with the CR4 metal gun. The two behind him didn't follow up, but instead divided into two columns, surrounding the Zekley star people.

  Si Da Wa let out a cold hum, like a godly gunner, quickly firing off several shots, each one hitting the weak points of Pang Dong and Qiao Mu Si. Luckily, they had rich experience in fighting back, or else they would have been shot already. However, the feeling of the bullet grazing past his hair was still very unpleasant for Pang Dong. "You even dare to kill Zhao Ye Ye, you truly aren't afraid of death." Pang Dong cursed loudly, but unexpectedly another bullet flew over.

  "Damn it, you're looking for death!" Dodging the attack, Pang Dong's anger surged up. Roaring loudly, he launched a two-pronged assault, using laser and pulse cannons to intimidate Sisidava, making him dare not fire easily.

  At the same time, Zhōu Mǔsī flexibly employed a pincer movement tactic, repeatedly circling around the weak points and effectively holding down Tán Héng Lóu's powerful cannons. These undoubtedly provided an opportunity for Fāng Kǎi's "plan".

  Good guy, Fang Kai gave a thumbs up and then focused his attention on the seal of Imhotep. That's right, his target was not the Zekr people, but the seal!

  Actually, Fang Kai's thoughts were very simple. Since the people of Zekle wanted Imhotep, although he didn't know what reason, this somehow became one of their weaknesses. As long as Fang Kai could make good use of this weakness, then it wasn't impossible for him and Pang Dong and Jormungandr to escape unscathed.

  However, this plan is a bit risky. Don't forget that Imhotep is Jormungandr's other half-soul, if Fang Kai operates improperly, it will inevitably damage Imhotep and cause irreparable mistakes. And this, absolutely cannot be accepted by Fang Kai.

  "Are you testing my focus? Hehe, since graduating from the team school, I haven't been so serious." Fang Kai's face gradually turned solemn, and the metal gun in his hand slowly pointed at the sealed membrane.

  This shot, he wants to make it very beautiful.

  Fang Kai narrowed his eyes: "Victory and defeat, it's all in this moment, go!" With a press of his hand, the wave-piercing bullet shot towards the quietly sleeping sealed membrane. The Imhotep inside, who was asleep, didn't think that he would become a filling in a sandwich.

  After discovering the tiger leaving the mountain trick, Sisadawa didn't panic and adjusted his gun to try and shoot down Fang Ke's bullet with another explosive shell. However, what infuriated him was that Pang Dong actually made a desperate move.

  Pang Dong expected that Fang Kai wouldn't get his way so easily, so he gritted his teeth and shouldered a gun. Fresh blood dripped down, but Pang Dong charged forward fiercely, swinging out the laser shovel with all his might. With a loud "clang", the shovel deflected Sisidava's plasma bullet, reflecting it into the wall.

  Seizing this opportunity, Fang Kai's bullets whizzed up.

  "Ka-ching!" The seal membrane shattered, but the grazing bullet didn't stop there. Instead, it charged forward, its target being Sisidava! It seemed Fang Kai's marksmanship wasn't weak either. This clever attack greatly threatened Sisidava's life safety.

  "Damn it!" Sisidava finally panicked, hastily beckoning to Tan Heng Luo: "Hurry up and stop them, or the trail will be cut off, hurry up!" Upon hearing this, Tan Heng Luo immediately abandoned Jomos and rushed to the place where the broken seal membrane was.

  "Take a shot from me!" Tan Heng Luo roared, raising the cannon and firing at Fang Kai and the others. The cannon's power was enormous, and Fang Kai and Pang Dong didn't dare to resist head-on, so they dodged to one side, looking for an opportunity. "Jomus, come quickly and give him a shockwave blast!" Pang Dong said fiercely, why did they have cannons but not shockwave blasts too?

  Only to see Quam's making an OK gesture, then he came rushing with a pulse cannon, the two heads gathered again, and the situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

  "A clue? Hmph, I think I know what you want him to do now, it's all about the Crystal Warriors, isn't it?! " Fang Kai suddenly raised his voice, guessing the intentions of the people from Zha'thik. Think about it, what else could be so attractive to them besides the Crystal Warriors? But how is Imhotep related to the Crystal Warriors, although he is a split soul of Jormungandr... Wait, no, the head of the Crystal Warrior was taken away by the mysterious shadow, and now it's probably hidden in some corner of this mausoleum. Could there be another part of the remains here?!"

  All sorts of thoughts flashed through Fang Kai's mind, but his expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed tightly on Sisidava, revealing no abnormalities. Even if Sisidava was cautious and clever, how could he have thought that in this brief moment, Fang Kai would think of so many things?

  "Hmph, I didn't think you were still so clever, actually catching onto this information. Yes, this guy is the lead to finding the Crystal Warriors, so... you can only watch as we snatch him away from you! Hahahaha... Take action!" Sisidava waved his hand grandly, and Tankerton immediately raised his cannon.

  Both sides prepare for another battle...

  But just at this moment, a sound of shuttling through time and space rang out.

  Both parties were shocked, their movements stopped, and they simultaneously focused their gaze on the wall behind them. One second, two seconds... Suddenly, a radiant light appeared on the wall, followed by a snow pine wooden boat emerging from it! The wooden boat was exquisitely carved, looking unlike any ordinary item.

  In front of the roulette wheel stood a smiling figure, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than Ruo Zi.

  The most surprising thing was Fang Kai, who couldn't help but shout: "Ruo Zi, how did you appear here?! Ah, isn't that... Ah, how is it exactly the same as the one before?! Oh my god." Fang Kai was shocked beyond words, recalling the scene where he escaped from the water-filled chamber in the tomb of Hu Fu, and found that the wooden boat Ruo Zi was driving was identical to the one back then.

  Bao Dong and Qiao Mu were also stunned, they had seen similar scenes before, but for a moment they doubted whether they had hallucinations. But after pinching each other, it actually hurt, apparently this was not an illusion, but a real situation!

  "Heh heh, never mind that for now. There are two annoying flies here." Ruo Zi's smile disappeared and she pressed a few buttons on the wheel. The wooden boat immediately revealed two large cannons with menacing muzzles. A massive light burst forth as two beams of incredibly terrifying energy shot towards the two people from Planet Zicai.

  Pang Dong and Qiao Mu swallowed a mouthful, only to see two Zha'zhi people exclaim "Ah" and the light group disappeared completely. "I wipe, this... is it dead? Ruo Zi, what did you bring? This wooden boat is too fierce!" Pang Dong gave Ruo Zi a thumbs up, while being amazed at these wooden products.

  The wooden airplane's performance was far beyond what Dong had expected, and the Snow Pine Wooden Ship that Zǐzi was driving was even more formidable, instantly annihilating even the extremely troublesome Tzukk'kians.

  However, Ruo Zi was not so optimistic. Standing in front of the rudder, she pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows: "How hateful, they actually escaped... Never mind, there will be another chance next time." At this moment, the wooden boat landed on the ground, and Ruo Zi also jumped down.

  Fang Kai swept up Ruò Zǐ in his arms, looking very delighted.

  "How can you just disappear like that? We've all been looking for you for a long time, and we're worried sick." Fang Kai slowly spoke up, his tone slightly reproachful, as he helped Zuo Ru Zi tidy her hair.

  Only to see Ruò Zǐ yān rán a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Kǎi's forehead: "Fool, I didn't think so either. Actually, I'm not clear what happened, just muddle-headed and was thrown onto this boat. I remember, just after saying goodbye to you on the wooden plane, turning my head back, my eyes flashed, and I fainted. When I woke up, I heard the sound of artillery fire coming from next door... uh, that is, this space. Curious, I opened this magical wooden boat."

  If she stretched out her hands, she wouldn't have thought that she would meet all her companions here.

  Upon hearing this, Fang Kai was taken aback for a moment, then thought that it might be due to the intense confrontation between the howitzer and the pulse cannon, which affected other spaces, startling Ruo Zi. However, this is also good; if Ruo Zi hadn't arrived in time, who knows, there might have been another fierce battle? Nevertheless... "Ruo Zi, you said the people of Ziskei haven't died?" Recalling the power of the wooden ship's cannon, Fang Kai still had lingering fear. If that cannon were to hit him, it would be a complete annihilation of body and spirit.

  If the child let go of Fang Kai's arms, nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I saw it clearly from above. They first blocked with cannons for a while, then used space transmission emergency equipment to leave this space. Just that... just that..."

  "What's that?" Fang Kai couldn't help but ask curiously as he noticed a hint of hesitation in Ruo Zi's words.

  Ruò zǐ yòu mǔ qǐ chún, zhòu méi xiǎng le xiǎng, bā fēn kěndìng dào: "Wèntí jiù shì chūxiàn zài zhè lǐ, Kǎi zǐ nǐ yě zhīdào, kōngjiān chuán sòng yìngjí zhuāng qǐ bō duàn xūyào yī miǎo zuǒyòu, dàn shí tāmen lí pào shù bù gòu yī fēn mǐ ā! érqiě, zài nà yī guānjiàn de yī kè, pào shù línjìn de kōngjiān fǎn qǐ hěn qīngwēi de bōdòng."

  "Fluctuation? Ah, could it be that this fluctuation is the culprit?" Fang Kai was good at analysis and immediately pointed out the key point. Yu Zi nodded in agreement, indicating that it was possible.

  However, the two were so engrossed in discussing the issue that they failed to notice the crisis creeping up on them.

  The two were talking when suddenly, a tense shout came from behind: "Ruo Zi, Kai Zi, you guys look quickly, Imhotep is gone!" The two were shocked and rushed to the side of Pang Dong and Jiao Mu Si. Fang Kai saw that Jiao Mu Si's face was pale white, then shifted his gaze to where the sealed membrane had originally been. Indeed, Imhotep had vanished.

  "What happened to him? How did he suddenly disappear... Joems, don't worry, let's think this through carefully. Pang Dong, was there anything unusual just now?" Fang Kai tried his best to remain calm while comforting Joems.

  Bao Dong was about to speak, but Qiao Mu seized the opportunity and said in a trembling voice: "Let... let me say it. You and Ruo Zi were chatting, while Dong and I were watching the wooden boat. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and when I turned my head back, he was... gone." Qiao Mu's face twisted, his expression extremely disheartened.

  If Imhotep can't be found, his soul will remain merged and he'll spend the rest of eternity as a half-soul.

  "Ah... hey, don't run!" Suddenly, Fang Kai pointed his hand towards the corner of the wall. When Pang Dong and others turned their heads, they saw a mysterious ghostly figure carrying Imhotep into the space outside the wall.

  "The Crystal Warrior's skull is definitely in its hands, don't let it get away, chase!" Fang Kai made a swift decision and rushed forward first. The others exchanged a glance and followed suit. However, none of them expected that this pursuit would uncover an astonishing secret....
