In just a few days.
The Agile successfully flew from Mercury to Venus.
During this time.
Ye Yun had a feeling that the Mercury God, Tethys, seemed to harbor some hostility towards him.
He couldn't figure out where he had offended this guy.
But after thinking carefully.
He hadn't offended this Mercury God named Tethys in any way.
Therefore.
He ignored the Mercury God. If Tethys didn't speak to him, he certainly wouldn't speak to Tethys.
If you're full of hostility towards me, do you expect me to feel fondly towards you?
Sorry, that's not happening.
"Lily, ahead is Venus, our destination."
Dilu said excitedly, looking at the planet outside the Agile's window.
"Zhuoya, activate the Window Armor."
Lily's face was solemn as she instructed the intelligent assistant Zhuoya.
"Window Armor has been activated."
Zhuoya replied.
"Rumble rumble rumble."
The Agile entered Venus's atmosphere, causing violent shaking.
But everyone was accustomed to the discomfort, tightly gripping the armrests of their seats, not daring to move freely.
One wrong move could be fatal.
After the Agile stopped shaking, they had moved from outside Venus to its interior.
"Yaoyao, check the location Dilu saw on the Star of the Galaxy."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief, finally inside Venus, and turned to look at Yaoyao, who was sitting at the control panel.
"Sister Lily, the place Dilu saw is Yishi Highland."
Soon, Yaoyao reported the location Dilu had seen.
"No way? Yishi Highland is so vast, how are we supposed to search here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao An frowned worriedly.
Indeed, Yishi Highland was so large, it was practically impossible to search.
"No matter how vast Yishi Highland is, we must find the Star God residing on Venus."
At this.
Gaia's very firm and decisive voice sounded over the communicator.
Their mission was to protect the Star of the Galaxy, to protect these humans.
Then, through the Star of the Galaxy, they would find their companions and hand over the Star of the Galaxy to its guardian, the Sun Star God Apollo.
"Alright, you guys go search. I'll go check the surrounding bases to see if there's anything that can repair the ship."
Lily said into the communicator.
Their current supplies were a bit tight, and the ship also needed repairs.
If the ship couldn't be repaired, the Agile wouldn't be able to perform interstellar jumps.
Traveling elsewhere would result in a huge waste of time.
"I'll go with you."
Ye Yun stood up from a nearby empty seat and said to Lily.
"Okay." Lily nodded slightly upon seeing Ye Yun, who had been quiet lately, and they headed to the hangar together.
"You seem to have something on your mind lately, don't you?"
On the way to the hangar, Lily asked as they walked.
"Do I? I don't think so!" Ye Yun shrugged noncommittally.
"You don't? Could it be you're missing your girlfriend?"
Lily looked at him tentatively.
"No!" Ye Yun shook his head and said, "I'm just not used to it."
"Not used to it? What aren't you used to?"
Hearing this, Lily became even more confused.
Is there anything you're not used to?
"I'm actually going to save the universe with you guys, are you kidding me? This is too unreal."
A bitter smile crept onto Ye Yun's lips.
"Actually, I also feel it's unreal. With the Federation's strength, crushing these so-called Cosmic Star Gods would be no problem. I'd believe it if they said they were saving the universe, but for these guys, who don't even amount to one ten-thousandth of the federal government, to save the universe is indeed hard to believe. But I still choose to follow them because I feel this will be a very interesting adventure."
Lily shrugged. She was a little girl full of a spirit for adventure.
"Pretty faces are a dime a dozen, but interesting souls are one in a million. You truly are a combination of both appearance and soul," Ye Yun spread his hands.
This girl truly possessed a spirit for adventure.
"Haha!" Lily laughed heartily and led Ye Yun onto the spaceship. She said, "Do you mind telling me about your girlfriend?"
"That's my fiancée, not my girlfriend."
He sat in the co-pilot's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and reminded her solemnly.
"Alright, alright, fiancée. Do you mind telling me about her?" Lily shrugged, piloted the spaceship out of the Agile, and began searching for the stronghold on the navigation.
"Her name is Feiran. She's a beauty who possesses both grace and talent."
A look of reminiscence appeared in Ye Yun's eyes.
"And then?"
Lily couldn't help but be a little taken aback by his words.
Is that all?
"There's no 'then'!"
Ye Yun said innocently, "Her beauty, I'm not good with words. As for her talent? She's a top scientist in artificial intelligence, specializing in firewalls and AI."
"Then can you tell me about your family?"
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lily changed the subject and began asking about Ye Yun's family.
"I haven't seen my parents in a long time. I suppose they've probably forgotten about me, their son," Ye Yun said with a sense of loss in his tone.
"I'm sorry."
Hearing the loss in his tone, Lily quickly apologized.
She hadn't expected to hit a sore spot for Ye Yun.
"Actually, it's nothing."
He smiled and said, "Although I can only see them once in a long while, it's still quite good."
"Vroom vroom!"
The spaceship slowly landed on the ground, surrounded by yellow sand.
The wind was howling incessantly.
"Who's there?"
Ye Yun, who had just stepped off the spaceship, felt someone watching them from behind. He reflexively turned his head to look but found nothing suspicious, which made him frown.
No way.
Could it really be Carlos and the others?
Anubi has already been dealt with by me, and Hidden Wolf was killed by Gaia.
Why can Carlos and the others still find this place?
"What's wrong?"
Lily was startled by his shout and turned to look at him, not understanding what he was doing.
"Nothing, I just felt like someone was watching us."
Ye Yun shook his head slightly and told her his discovery.
"No way?"
Lily looked around but didn't find anything unusual.
"Perhaps I was mistaken," Ye Yun smiled.
"You watch the spaceship here, and I'll go inside to see if there's anything we need," Lily said to him.
"No need, let's go together. Leaving a girl to venture alone is not what a man does," Ye Yun shook his head. If Carlos really came to Venus, he would definitely stay with Lily.
He owed her a favor.
"Are you a man?"
Lily looked at him curiously and asked.
"I'm..."
Ye Yun was about to say, Aren't I a man?
After thinking about it carefully, I'm not really a man, I'm just a boy.
"Tsk." The next moment, a playful smile appeared on Lily's beautiful face. "Alright, alright, just kidding. Let's go together."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Ye Yun walked alongside Lily, unable to find anything to talk about, so he started asking her questions.
Since you've already asked about my situation.
You should tell me about yours too.
"We've been together for a month, have you seen me text any guys?!"
Lily rolled her eyes speechlessly at him and pushed open a door weathered by sand and wind, calling out, "Anyone here? Is anyone home?"
She called for a long time.
No one responded, so the two of them simply pushed the door open and walked straight inside.
They started rummaging through everything.
"Didn't find anything useful," Ye Yun said, spreading his hands in the end.
"I didn't find anything either. Sigh, the time to repair the Agile will be delayed again." Lily sighed, having thought that Yi Shi Highland might have parts to repair the Agile, or at least some resources.
As it turned out.
It was empty. Even if there was something, it was just a pile of useless junk.
"Don't worry, this place is huge. Let's keep looking. I'm sure we can find something."
Ye Yun saw Lily's dejected expression and comforted her.
Such a vast place couldn't possibly be completely empty.
"Okay, let's keep looking."
Meanwhile.
Carlos's spaceship was parked in an open area, with a dense, endless torrent of black steel behind it.
The torrent of steel almost filled the entire valley.
"Lord Carlos, Crab has reported that they've found traces of Gaia and the others. Should we...?" Seymour asked tentatively, looking at Carlos beside him.
"No rush. What I'm curious about now is, who killed Anubi?"
Carlos stopped Scorpion Warrior Seymour and his crimson electronic eyes flickered incessantly.
Now that he had calmed down, he realized something was amiss.
Anubi definitely wasn't killed by Gaia and Tethys. So who could it be?
If Anubi had attacked the enemy, the enemy would have definitely requested Gaia's help. This way, Anubi could have drawn Gaia away, allowing Hidden Wolf to successfully seize the Star of the Galaxy.
But Hidden Wolf never received the order to act.
This meant that Anubi had already been killed, and therefore Hidden Wolf couldn't receive Anubi's orders.
So, who exactly killed Anubi?
"Lord Carlos, wasn't Anubi killed by Gaia and them?" Seymour, the Scorpion Warrior, didn't understand why Lord Carlos was still investigating this matter.
Hadn't they already confirmed that Gaia and Tethys were the ones who killed Anubi?
"No, Gaia and Tethys are definitely not Anubi's killers. Moreover, have you noticed the wound on Anubi's body? It looks like he was heavily injured while in his crescent moon form."
"Transforming into his crescent moon form means Anubi couldn't win and wanted to escape. But his speed wasn't as fast as the enemy's, so he was forced back into his human form, thus losing his combat power. During this time, that person forcibly tore open Anubi's chest and took his energy core."
"Could you catch up to Anubi in his crescent moon form?" Carlos asked, turning to look at Seymour, the Scorpion Warrior.
"That... no. I'm afraid only Lord Salong, Lord Alastor, Lord Carlos, and the Sun Star God Apollo can outpace Anubi in speed!"
