Legend of the Mythological Genes
chapter-304

“Quick, quick! Increase speed, try to shake off those detestable space pirates!”

Enke gave maneuvering commands loudly in the captain’s chamber. As a result, everyone in the flying shuttle was panicking, and many gypsies hurriedly sprang into action. Although they were afraid, there was an order to their chaos. They worked together and increased the speed of their flying shuttle.

Feng Lin stood in the cabin and glanced outward. He could see the space pirate fleet chasing after them. There were so many of them that they looked densely packed in his vision.

These flying shuttles all hoisted their skeleton flags that exuded an imposing aura.

Space pirates!

Those with kind intentions wouldn’t come, those who come wouldn’t have kind intentions!

Feng Lin’s gaze grew deep. No matter how developed the human civilization was now, given how vast the Milky Way galaxy was, there were still places that had not been fully explored yet.

These space pirates were interstellar pirates that lived at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. They were all extremely greedy. If the giant shuttle was really caught by them, there would be no escaping the calamity.

The gypsies couldn’t afford to care about the consequences now. They had to move at full speed.

However, the shuttles of the pirates were clearly more advanced. Their shuttles opened and countless numbers of mechas floated out. They were shaped like werewolves with light cannons in their hands, moving to surround the tattered-looking shuttle.

“The people inside better pay attention to me, your father. Stop the shuttle immediately and pay the protection fee. If not, your father shall blast your pathetic shuttle into pieces!” A threatening voice rang out from the pirate fleet.

Upon seeing that it was no longer possible for them to break out from the siege, Enke could only sigh, “Close the energy furnace. We won’t be able to escape.”

“We don’t wish to die!”

“Captain Enke, hurry up and escape!

…

“We won’t be able to flee. The shuttles of the pirate fleet are three generations more advanced than ours. Just stay here, as long as we don’t resist, we would at most lose a layer of our skin. The space pirates wouldn’t kill people recklessly. If everyone was killed by them, who would they rob next time? Just wait here,” said Enke in a heavy voice. He was calm despite the chaos. Many gypsies seemed to have found support in his words, and they also calmed down.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Lin walked over as he calmly asked.

Captain Enke spoke heavily, “We have already reached the Chaotic Star Ocean. This location is considered a chaotic region at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy where pirates run rampant. We tried our best to avoid them, but we were still targeted. Luckily, the pirates have rules. As long as we hand over 30% of our goods, we will be fine. Remember not to resist or they would surely attack us.”

“Understood.” Feng Lin nodded. Although the pirates were detestable, as long as the trouble didn’t concern him, he also didn’t wish to interfere too much.

Now, the most important thing was for him to smoothly arrive at the Great Wall University.

It wasn’t easy for him to enter one of the cosmos universities. If he bothered with too many things and delayed his trip to the university, that would truly be foolish.

“Sally, hurry up and go to hide. Don’t let these pirates see you.” Enke suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His expression drastically changed as he told his daughter Sally to hide.

…

BOOM!

The shuttle door opened as huge mechas entered. Over twenty pirates in different battle suits came out from the mechas as they grinned maliciously.

“Old man Enke, seems like your harvest this time around isn’t bad. Wanting to flee right when you saw us, don’t you want to give us a share?” The pirate in the lead laughed and patted Enke on his shoulder.

Enke was a tall and muscular middle-aged man. At this moment, he lowered his head and bend his back before the pirates, not daring to resist at all. “Captain Hasro, you must be joking. How could I not recognize your Black Skeleton Star Pirate Fleet? Same old rules, I will hand over 30% of everything to you. For the remaining ones, I still need to deliver it to the Great Wall University. Captain Hasro, please show mercy.”

“Fine, you can be considered as knowing the situation.” Upon seeing the captain of a fleet not daring to resist before him, the star pirate Hasro was extremely satisfied. “Brothers, do your job.”

“Roger!” Those star pirates all had malevolent looks on their faces as they spread out in all directions, starting a search of the flying shuttle and seizing all items of value.

Those gypsies had sullen looks on their faces. They felt anger but didn’t dare to voice it.

The star pirate Hasro felt more and more satisfied.

Feng Lin was concealed among the crowd, and he watched at this scene coldly.

“Release me!” A scream suddenly rang out.

Enke’s expression instantly changed drastically.

Sally was captured by two pirates and pulled out from the bottom of the flying shuttle.

“Oh, isn’t this Sally? A girl can change so much once they grow up. It’s been a long time since we last met, and I didn’t expect you to become so beautiful already.” Hasro licked his lips. His eyes gleamed with lust as he stared at Sally.

“Old man Enke, your daughter is as beautiful as jade and flowers. Do you want her to remain on this broken flying shuttle forever and marry these dogs? Why don’t you let your daughter follow me? In the future, I will only take 20%, no, 15% of your harvests. How about it?” His eyes gleamed with lust as he spoke.

“Father, save me!” Sally screamed.

“Release Sally!”

“You all dare?”

“I’m going to put my life on the line!”

……

Those gypsies were completely enraged.

Refusing to drink a toast for a forfeit!

Hasro laughed malevolently. He gave a hand signal and his subordinates instantly lunged over like wolves and tigers.

Bang, bang, bang!

Those gypsies were simply lambs waiting for the slaughter before these star pirates who were proficient in cultivation. All of them were knocked down effortlessly.

“Old man, I urge you to be obedient. If not, don’t blame me…” Hasro patted Enke on his face. The threat in his tone intensified, filled with killing intent.

Enke’s expression contorted, he felt extremely helpless.

Sally’s face was also filled with despair. She cast her gaze that was filled with her last hope toward Feng Lin, only to see a cold face observing the situation calmly. She was doomed to disappointment.

“Hahaha! Sally, just follow me in the future. I won’t mistreat you!” Hasro stared at her crying face and laughed.

“Boss, we discovered a new-model flying shuttle!” At this moment, a star pirate rang over and called out excitedly, “This is the newest model of interstellar flying shuttles; its quality is way up there. In this stretch of star region, it’s impossible to find a second one like it.”

“Oh! Old man Enke, I didn’t expect you to have so much harvest. You actually managed to smuggle such high-grade goods? How about this, let the flying shuttle be the dowry for your daughter. As my father-in-law, shouldn’t you express some goodwill?” Hasro laughed loudly when he heard of that.

Obtaining a beauty and a brand new flying shuttle. Where could he find such great benefits?

“You can’t take that! That isn’t something of our fleet,” Enke cried out.

At the next moment, Hasro’s expression changed. He punched out, sending Enke flying with a single blow.

He then walked over and used his foot to step on Enke’s face as he put his weight down. “You best consider things before speaking. I don’t like to hear the word ‘can’t’. If this happens again, you won’t even know how you die.”

Enke’s face was pale. He coughed out blood and was speechless.

“Men, bring Sally back and take the new shuttle away.” Hasro laughed maniacally.

Swish~

A black shadow suddenly flashed.

The three pirates who were moving to execute the order couldn’t even react and were sent flying. Their chests caved in; they had actually died from the impact.

“Who?!” Hasro exclaimed in shock.

At the next instant, a pair of hands appeared in his vision, gradually growing nearer.

Feng Lin’s expression was like ice. He stared at these pirates like how he would stare at the dead. His eyes flickered with killing intent.
