Chapter 669: Half-Blood Hybrid
Chapter 669: Half-Blood Hybrid
His figure appeared at the edge of the rocks, and a pair of eyes emitted a burst of golden light. His gaze swept the surroundings before randomly fixating on a particular spot.
"Are you coming out on your own, or do I have to force you out?" The man was extremely arrogant, as if he had the upper hand in this situation.
Shadow Hall members couldn't be easily fooled, and in fact, he believed he hadn't been discovered yet; this person couldn't be certain of his exact location.
In truth, it was just as he thought. The man's abilities were not powerful enough to bypass the concealment of Shadow Hall members. The cloak was an essential equipment for the survival of Shadow Hall members.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, so quiet that not even the sound of the wind could be heard. The man's gaze remained firmly fixed on that spot, without any movement. However, the energy pressure he exuded made everything around him come to a standstill.
Domain!
The man made a decisive move and activated his Domain. To his surprise, he discovered that there were others within this Domain!
"Members of the Red Alert Empire? Human Peacekeeping Operations Group at work here. You're not needed here, so leave!"
The man was still brimming with arrogance, even though he had noticed two people nearby. He had his confidence.
He believed that even if the Red Alert Empire was a rising power, they should have heard of the reputation of the Human Peacekeeping Operations Group. They should leave willingly, but he had overestimated himself.Since he had been discovered, Yuri and Lily decided to reveal themselves. As for the identity of the number one spy, he wasn't nearby and was waiting for Yuri and Lily's communication.
The man glanced at the two of them. Two Small Galaxy Rank 5 individuals, their strength was decent, but in his eyes, they were nothing.
With his strength, he could easily defeat them. That was his confidence.
Lily remained silent; she was a practical fighter and left the thinking to Yuri when it came to matters like this.
Yuri took a step forward, his face expressionless. "This is Red Alert Empire's planet. Even if anyone is leaving, it's you."
Red Alert Base wouldn't back down in front of anyone, especially not Super Soldiers. They had their pride.
The man chuckled, then casually grabbed a long sword, which appeared in his hand. He swung it towards a certain spot.
Splat!
The sword seemed to hit something, and a greenish liquid appeared in the air. At the same time, a figure appeared in front of them.
It was a human, no, a non-human species wearing human skin!
In his hand, he held the box from earlier. It was evident that he was a Shadow Hall member, responsible for taking the box.
"Tsk tsk, I've struck gold this time. It's actually a Half-Blood Hybrid with some Vode Tribe blood. Selling this would fetch a hefty sum." The man's eyes gleamed brightly, almost like titanium alloy dog eyes.
Yuri suddenly remembered the Vode Tribe, a race that looked like plants but was not actually plant-based. They were quite unique.
What made the Vode Tribe so attractive was the sap and other substances they carried on their bodies. Capturing a living Vode Tribe was even more valuable.
The Vode Tribe had paid a hefty price to be protected by humans, and those who knew of the Vode Tribe's habitat were few and far between.
Usually, what you saw outside were Half-Blood Hybrids with some Vode Tribe blood.
Never assume that different races cannot reproduce. In the realm of science, the concept of racial segregation is meant to be broken.
Long ago, techniques for the reproduction of different races had already been perfected. As long as two races were willing, they could give birth to a hybrid child, merging the traits of both races.
However, being a hybrid wasn't without its challenges. Many considered them to be mongrels, not fully recognized by either of the two races. Even if they managed to live in the sunlight, they had to endure more discrimination.
But how did a Vode Tribe Half-Blood Hybrid end up in such a situation, joining the ranks of the Shadow Hall?
The man at the center of it all smirked, showing that he had no qualms about it. Since he was a member of the Shadow Hall, what happened to this Vode Tribe Half-Blood Hybrid was entirely his own concern. Even if he decided to sell this individual, no one could accuse him of wrongdoing; it was allowed.
The man had already assessed the Vode Tribe's strength; they were only a Small Galaxy Sixth Order, no match for him.
"Human, release me, and I can offer you something of great value," the Half-Blood Hybrid said, his eyes warily fixed on the man, attempting to use this offer as a means of escape.
The man grinned, a menacing smile that sent shivers down the Half-Blood Hybrid's spine. "Different species have different hearts. You should know that saying. Since you chose to join the Shadow Hall, you've lost the protection of humanity. If I kill you, the Vode Tribe won't speak up for you."
The Half-Blood Hybrid fell silent, knowing that the man's words were true.
If he engaged in legitimate business that didn't violate human laws, he would be safe. But by willingly relinquishing legal protection, anyone could hunt him.
Aware that he couldn't persuade the man in front of him, the Half-Blood Hybrid suddenly transmitted a message to Yuri and Lily, "As long as you can help me escape, I'll give you an opportunity—a chance to become Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses!"
To someone inexperienced, the promise of reaching Large Galaxy level might be tempting. Unfortunately for him, he had approached members of the Red Alert Base.
"The opportunity you're talking about isn't useful to me, but I also don't like trouble within the Empire's territory..."
Yuri's voice trailed off, and his invisible Psychic power enveloped both the man and the Half-Blood Hybrid.
Lily burst into laughter, her body floating in mid-air. Her mysterious psychic abilities directly affected the two of them, rendering them instantly immobilized.
The man's expression changed. What power was this, and why couldn't he move his body?
"Drink!"
With a low shout, the man's energy surged, barely freeing him from Lily's psychic influence. However, Yuri's Psychic power was already closing in.
Silently, the expressions of the man and the Half-Blood Hybrid became blank. Psychic power was waging a battle within their inner worlds. Typically, with Yuri's Psychic power, even a Small Galaxy Ninth Order entity could be influenced, let alone this Small Galaxy Eighth Order individual.
If someone could peer into their inner worlds, they would see a battlefield.
Lily, seizing the opportunity, once again employed her psychic abilities, creating a psychic barrier that enveloped both of them. This meant that even if they managed to break free from the Psychic power, shattering this psychic barrier composed of thoughts wouldn't be so simple.
For Super Soldiers, fighting beyond their rank was a common occurrence. They had faced even Small Galaxy Ninth Order beings. So, a Small Galaxy Eighth Order? It was nothing. (To be continued...)
