Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

At this moment, in the distant starry sky, Xia Weiya and Loren were relentlessly fleeing.

Their hearts were constantly tense, ready to battle at any moment.

But as time slowly passed, they realized the Eternal Sleep Clan hadn’t caught up.

"What’s going on? Why haven’t those guys caught up yet? It shouldn’t be! Normally, they should have caught up by now."

Loren turned his head to look back, but for some reason, couldn’t see any sign of the Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces.

Xia Weiya was also very puzzled, her expression changing dramatically.

"It shouldn’t be, they were on our tail so tightly before, there’s no reason they would give up."

"So what should we do now?"

Loren asked gravely.

Xia Weiya’s expression kept changing, and she finally said, "I don’t know what kind of tricks the enemy is up to, but at least we are a little safer now. We still shouldn’t relax though; let’s keep fleeing for a bit longer to completely shake them off, then figure out how to return to Star Ring City."

"Alright!"

Loren responded gravely.

---------------------

A dozen days later, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade, accompanied by the Blue Whale, pierced through the thick clouds and slowly descended toward the mining area.

In the command room, Su Mo looked at the peaceful mining area and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, his heart had been hanging in suspense throughout the journey; although probabilistically, the chance of Xiao Wen and the others being discovered by the Eternal Sleep Clan wasn’t high, you never know.

At this moment, inside the mining area, Xiao Wen and Chen Shan, seeing the return of the Immortal Blade, controlled their mechas to fly towards it.

Soon afterwards, the two walked into the command room.

"How’s the digging going? Any trouble?"

Su Mo asked with a good mood.

"No, the extraction went very smoothly, we harvested so much this time; I was just about to report to you."

Xiao Wen raised his electronic bracelet, operated a bit, and brought up some virtual files to show Su Mo.

"Thanks for your hard work, go ahead..."

Su Mo nodded in response.

"I’ve found over 260 different types of ores in this mining area, each with varying concentrations. The most abundant is the Level 5 rare ore, inky phosphorus ore...."

Xiao Wen systematically reported to Su Mo.

Su Mo listened very attentively to Xiao Wen’s report.

Meanwhile, Sun Duoxiang, standing to the side, got bored after listening for a while.

Then he glanced at Chen Shan and quietly moved over.

"Hey~ Old Chen!"

"What do you want!"

Chen Shan looked at Sun Duoxiang with a puzzled expression.

"Let me tell you, by not joining us on the exploration of Ceres this time, you missed out so much."

"Missed out on what?"

Chen Shan, teased a bit by Sun Duoxiang’s suspenseful words, got intrigued.

"Loads of incredibly good stuff, we’ve hit the jackpot, you know?"

Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.

"Bah, so what if you’ve hit the jackpot? What’s the big deal? Can it compare to the Eternal Sleep Clan’s treasure vault?"

"That’s not the point, but honestly the gains are no worse, even better at times."

"Really?"

"Of course it is, we got lots of mechas, and the boss saved a share for you all too."

Sun Duoxiang said with a big grin.

"I knew it, we definitely have a share, it doesn’t really matter whether we went on the exploration."

Chen Shan responded with a good mood.

Then Sun Duoxiang nudged Chen Shan with his elbow and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you something really explosive."

"Spill it."

Chen Shan asked, full of curiosity.

"Guess who we bumped into on the way back?"

"Can’t you just say it all at once, don’t leave us hanging!"

"Hehe, don’t rush! We bumped into the main forces of the Eternal Sleep Clan, and four Vice Clan Leaders on our way back!"

Sun Duoxiang raised his eyebrows while speaking.

Upon hearing Sun Duoxiang’s words, Chen Shan was completely taken aback, suspiciously looking at Sun Duoxiang.

"Are you kidding? You ran into the forces of the Eternal Sleep Clan and four Vice Clan Leaders?"

"No kidding, I’m telling you it’s all true."

Sun Duoxiang responded righteously.

"Was the loss severe? Did you barely escape by the skin of your teeth?"

"Listen to yourself, who says we can’t stand our ground? Of course, we fought them head-on!"

"You’re bluffing, four Vice Clan Leaders! It’s not that I doubt the boss’s ability, but do you understand the concept of four? If you really fought them, how come you are still intact standing here?"

Chen Shan’s expression seemed to falter; he felt Sun Duoxiang was just boasting.

"You’re underestimating us, I’m telling you, they were scared like they’d seen ghosts when they saw us and didn’t even dare to fight. If they hadn’t run so fast, we’d have broken their legs. It’s a pity the boss didn’t allow us to chase, otherwise we could have captured a few."

Sun Duoxiang responded with a hint of regret.

"Really? Can you please make an outline before boasting!"

Chen Shan replied with disdain.

"It’s the absolute truth, why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can ask around! Everyone can prove it."

Sun Duoxiang spoke with confidence.

At that moment, seeing Sun Duoxiang wasn’t joking around, Chen Shan was utterly shocked and looked disbelieving.

Upon finishing listening to Xiao Wen’s report, Su Mo heard Sun Duoxiang bragging to Chen Shan and walked behind him, giving him a light knock on the head.

"Ouch! Boss, why are you knocking on me."

Sun Duoxiang covered his head and turned around to see Su Mo hitting him, complaining with a bitter face.

"Stop saying random things, no Vice Clan Leader from the Eternal Sleep Clan is an easy opponent. Yes, if we really risked everything together, we could keep them here. But Sun Duoxiang, you should know, you and everyone present are not just my subordinates, but my brothers and sisters. We’ve been through countless life-and-death battles together; any harm to you is a huge loss for me. Even if it’s a one-for-one with a Vice Clan Leader from the Eternal Sleep Clan, I wouldn’t swap, because you all are irreplaceable to me."

Su Mo said solemnly.

"Boss, I understand."

Sun Duoxiang was deeply moved after hearing Su Mo’s words.

Everyone present, whether it be Kendi or Chen Shan, all felt a warm surge in their hearts, realizing Su Mo truly valued this band of brothers.

"As long as you understand, enough about that. The appearance of the Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces near Zero Degree Land is not a good sign. I have a feeling continuing to mine isn’t safe anymore, let’s pause the extraction and prepare to return to Star Ring City!"

Su Mo contemplated for a moment before making a decision.

"What about this mining area? There’s still a lot left unmined."

Chen Shan asked with some regret.

"The mining area will be fine; once we withdraw, it will freeze again, making it hard for the enemy to find. Plus, Xiao Lan is watching over it. Also, we should first take the gains back; the Heart of Forbidden Prison might be waiting for them, and we’ll come back to continue mining when the situation stabilizes."

Su Mo thought for a while and explained.
