Chapter 321 The Green Knight, Boneless Bird (2/2)
Life in the spaceship was simple and quiet; he just wanted to arrive at the destination peacefully.
However, change came without any warning.
In some area on the way of Short Horn Star's route ahead, a few scavenger spaceships hovered in the universe quietly. Their designs were unique with signs of being modified unprofessionally. This was the unique style of scavengers. The 'Boneless Bird' logo was painted on the side of the spaceships.
In the main ship's internal deck, scavengers from different species were having a party. The Boneless Bird Leader was sitting on the high chair, holding a barrel and chugging it down while laughing out loud.
The leader of Boneless Bird was called Serpent Braid. He was almost four meters tall and had the blood of Stone Giant. His muscles were bulging, his skin was stone, his face was covered with a beard, and a braid of hair on his head hanged down to his waist, thus his nickname.
Scavengers traveled around the gray areas. Their reason for making money was to enjoy themselves, so partying was their most common activity.
”Ding ding! New message!”
The interface on the main ship's control panel flashed, and a line of words appeared. Its sender was Cesoly.
”Guys, the job is here.”
Serpent Braid threw away the barrel, and it shattered in the corner. He stood up, wiped away the alcohol on his beard, and said with a ferocious face, ”The target this time is worth a lot of money!”
Hundreds of scavengers below growled in excitement.
…
”Pair of threes.”
”Four Kings.”
”Five twos.”
”Pass… Wait a minute, where did the other two come from?”
On Short Horn Star, a group of players squeezed into the room and played poker out of boredom.
After staying on the spaceship for so many days, there were no more missions for them to accept. Furthermore, combat was not allowed in the ship, and many areas were not open, so these players could only find enjoyment themselves. The journey could not be skipped, which had always received complaints. Some players went offline to rest, so only one third of the players were left online.
The online spot and reviving spot could be locked onto the transportation tool, so there were no worries of being lost in space.
Han Xiao sat to the side and looked at the time—there should be only a few more days till they arrived.
Short Horn Star had arrived at the Garton Galaxy Star Zone 2 at this time. The area started becoming more urban—quite a number of the planets here had civilizations, and it was an area where Godora paid a lot of attention to managing as it was closer, which meant it was easier to manage. The spaceship stopped the greatest number of times to fetch passenger here. As long as they arrived at Star Zone 1 and entered the stable wormhole gate, they would be able to reach the destination.
At this moment, the ground started to tremble unusually.
A piercing alarm sounded from the broadcast instantly after.
Han Xiao's expression changed a little, and he instantly stood up. Kerlodd woke up from his sleep as well, and the two walked out of the room hastily. The players behind them were lost but knew that there must have been some accident, so they followed the two of them.
The hall was chaotic at this moment. All of the passengers walked out and looked outside the window, terrified.
Colorful explosions flashed outside, but there was no sound due to the lack of air.
The scavenger spaceships fired at the Short Horn Star. The Short Horn Star had already activated its high energy shield, and a light-yellow energy shield protected the spaceship like an eggshell. The scavenger spaceships were much smaller than Short Horn Star, but they were also much more agile because of that. They dodged the attacks and dashed around, but Short Horn Star could not dodge anything due to its large size—it could only endure the attacks with its shield.
