[Round Three: New Hunters]
Mission Introduction: You have defeated the first group of hunters and seen the tip of the iceberg of this enormous force . Now, a new group of hunters has arrived . They’re stronger and more dangerous, staring at you in the shadows, ready to move .
Mission Requirements: Resolve the attack from the new hunter team .
Reward: 78,500,000 Experience . One random ability from one of the members of the hunter team .
The mastermind behind Albert and his gang has sent a new team here, starting the hunt again?
Han Xiao’s expression became serious . The high experience reward indicated the difficulty of the third round of this mission .
The mission introduction was ambiguous . All he knew was that there was a group of enemies of unknown strength creeping in the shadows . He knew nothing about what their plan was .
This was like a time bomb, and he did not know when it would explode . The only good news was that the interface notification at least alerted him of this time bomb .
According to the clues in the past, the master of these hunters should be a member of The Ancient Ones from another Star Field . That person still has not given up and has now sent another team that is definitely stronger than Albert’s team . This will be quite difficult .
Han Xiao was troubled . Another group of strong enemies appearing during the secret war added uncertainties to the secret war, which was definitely not a good thing .
After pondering for a while, he felt that the most important thing at the moment was to find where the enemies were . Once the enemies showed themselves, it would mean that they had enough confidence to deal with him .
Since the mission notification had alerted him, he wanted to make preparations .
Since the third round has appeared, this means that the new hunter team has already targeted me . In order to capture me, there are a few possibilities…
Han Xiao contemplated but came to no conclusion . He had no idea when and where the enemies would suddenly appear .
Looks like I have to borrow the power of superstition…
He boarded the spaceship and set the destination . The Blacklight Stealth lifted off, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared .
A few days later, a spaceship landed on Floating Dragon Island . Han Xiao ignored the cowardly and fearsome looks of the galactic pirates and headed straight to old man Aesop’s house .
In the past, old man Aesop’s life had been full of excitement and the lack of fear for death . However, for some reason, maybe because he was old now, he had retired on Floating Dragon peacefully, so it was very easy to find him .

“You’re saying that a new group of hunters appeared, and they’re planning to come for you?”
In the room, Aesop yawned and rubbed his eyes in a flecked nightgown and a crooked nightcap, expressing his doubts about what Han Xiao had said . He had originally been sleeping like an old man but had been woken up by Han Xiao’s nonstop calls .
“That’s right . ” Han Xiao nodded .
“Therefore, you came to me because you want me to help you by foreseeing what the enemies will do, right?” Aesop brushed his beard and squinted .
“Yes, the enemies are hiding in the shadows, I need your help . ”
Aesop suddenly sized Han Xiao up and changed the topic . “I heard you became a Beyond Grade A seed recently?”
Han Xiao was stunned and did not know why he had suddenly brought this matter up, so he could only nod .
“Hmm, I did not expect that to happen . ” Aesop tutted . “However, don’t trust that title too much . It’s not that easy to reach Beyond Grade A . It’s not just the increase in strength but more of the ascension of life form . Every Beyond Grade A is actually a new race…”
Aesop had come into contact and communicated with many Beyond Grade As before, so he did not mind telling Han Xiao some of what he knew .
Han Xiao listened patiently . Despite having the interface, there were only pros and no cons in listening to experience . As the saying went, having an elderly at home was just like having a treasure . After speaking for a while, Aesop suddenly shook his head .
“If you do hit the one in ten thousand chance and manage to become a Beyond Grade A, the Ancient One behind the hunters will immediately stop chasing you . The secret war that has been attracting a lot of attention recently will also end because of you alone . As a new Beyond Grade A of the Shattered Star Ring, you will be able to immediately sit on the highest dinner table, and those Star Cluster Civilizations will actively bring their cake to share with you . As long as you express your intent, you will be able to easily receive an enormous amount of support . Everything that has been troubling you will be solved instantly…”
Aesop paused momentarily and sighed . “If that day really comes, you will definitely leave Floating Dragon . It’s impossible for a Beyond Grade A to be the subordinate of another Beyond Grade A . ”
Han Xiao did not reply .
Indeed, if he reached Beyond Grade A, he would definitely leave Floating Dragon .
From the beginning, Floating Dragon has always been a stepping stone for him . He had helped Floating Dragon achieve many things throughout the years, so he did contribute as a member . Even if he left Floating Dragon, he would not become Ames’ enemy .
Ames might not be happy, but Jenny definitely wanted him to get the hell away as soon as possible .
Aesop rubbed his forehead and said, “Don’t mind me . Old people are always talkative . Back to the topic, you gave me too few clues . I won’t be able to guarantee how accurate the prophecy is . It can only be used as a reference . ”
Then, Aesop closed his eyes and started his prophecy .

Not long after, he opened his eyes .
Seeing that Han Xiao was still waiting patiently, Aesop said, “I only saw a few blurry images . A large shadow shrouds you . You dash left and right but aren’t able to escape the shadow no matter what . In the end, the shadow consumes you completely . ”
Han Xiao frowned and asked, “What does this mean?”
“What I saw might not be the reality; it might just be a symbol . I think this prophecy means that the people behind this will keep chasing you, and you won’t be able to escape him . In conclusion, it means you’re in danger . ”
“That’s it?” Han Xiao’s mouth twitched . Are you pulling my leg?
“As I said, there are too few clues . The prophecy is very blurry and might not be right . ” Aesop shrugged . “If I was all-knowing, do you think you would’ve caught me back then?”
Han Xiao was speechless .
Is that not the same as saying nothing at all? Why do I feel like even the Destiny’s Child Character Summon Card is more useful than you? If not because there’s only one last usage left, I would have used it long ago . You’re not very reliable, old man Aesop .
Aesop was not of any help, so Han Xiao turned and went to see Ames . Since he was already there, of course, he had to see her .
Ames was alone in the palace, and she was rather happy to see Han Xiao . The two of them chatted for a while . Han Xiao did not see Hila and Aurora, so he asked Ames about it . He then came to know that Hila had been extremely motivated recently for some reason, so she had been dragging Aurora along and training extra hard . Han Xiao did not tell anyone else about this visit, so he did not plan on disturbing Hila and Aurora . He chatted with Ames for a while longer before bringing up his request for Ames’ help .
He instinctively felt that the third round of the mission would be very dangerous . If he could get Ames to help, he would have nothing to worry about .
Unexpectedly, Ames smiled elegantly and exquisitely before rejecting him .
“Black Star, I can’t this time . I have something else to do . Plus, you can’t keep asking for my help . Maybe this is very dangerous, but you have the potential to become Beyond Grade A in the future, so if you really want to do that, you have to rely on yourself to conquer one obstacle after another . ”
From the rumors recently, Ames saw the possibility of Han Xiao becoming a Beyond Grade A in the future . Hence, she decided to help Han Xiao less . The way she saw it, danger was a fertilizer . Only through danger would the seed be able to sprout and grow out of the soil .
When Aesop was her mentor, he had used the eagle style of education, too, letting her grow and become independent . Ames had learned from this and used the same thing on Hila and Aurora . The only difference was that these sisters had yet to reach the standard of going out on adventures and battles alone .
As for Han Xiao, Ames had a lot of trust in his strength . She felt that giving too much protection to Black Star was not a good thing-it would reduce Black Star’s opportunities to hone himself . She sincerely wanted to see Black Star become stronger, and she would feel happy for him as a friend .
There was nothing Han Xiao could do . After all, Ames was the faction leader-she would not be willing to help him every single time, not to mention the fact that the enemies had yet to even appear this time .
Requesting Ames’ help was just to make things easier . If the Dragon Emperor was not going to help, he would do it himself . In the past few years, he had met countless dangers, so he was not going to be afraid, not ever .

After bidding farewell to Ames, Han Xiao left Floating Dragon Island in his spaceship, coming quickly and leaving just as quickly .
He did not receive much from this trip to Floating Dragon Island, so he was unavoidably a little upset . In the end, relying on himself was still the best choice .
As he became stronger and his organization developed quicker, the battles he was in became larger . The help that Floating Dragon could give to him now was not as great as it used to be .
In the cockpit, Han Xiao piloted the spaceship while thinking of a plan .
Ames isn’t helping, and Aesop was basically useless, so I have to complete the Promotion as soon as possible . Every little increase in my strength counts…
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao took out the communicator and was about to contact his friends to find people to spar with .
Beep beep!
The communicator suddenly vibrated . It was a sudden message from Bennett .
Han Xiao was shocked . He read through it, and his face instantly turned grave .
It was not good news .
Ever since Bennett built Black Star City, due to all the matters he had to settle every single day, it had been quite some time since he contacted Han Xiao . If there was nothing important, Bennett would not disturb him .
This novice planet had always been rather important to Han Xiao . Although the old players had basically all joined his army, there would still be many more new players in the future .
He was very sensitive at this time . There was no way for him not to connect what was suddenly happening on Planet Aquamarine with the third round of (Prey) .
Han Xiao frowned and was on high alert .
“This is certainly a trap!”
One day earlier on Planet Aquamarine…
In the government affairs building, Bennett had just finished reviewing the files . He heaved a sigh of relief, put the pen down, and rubbed his temples, trying to ease his tiredness .
“Sigh, being a leader of a nation is more tiring than fighting a war . ”
Bennett sighed . He picked up the hot tea beside him, blew into it, and sipped slowly . The warm tea flew down his throat, bringing warmth to his stomach . The tiredness started to gradually disappear, and he exhaled comfortably .
He turned his chair around to face the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the city outside . Trains were running along the tracks, and pedestrians were laughing . It was harmonious and lively . He smiled with relief .
Seeing that the people had peaceful and stable lives, Bennett felt that everything was worth it .
Ring ring!
Suddenly, the telephone on the desk rang hastily .
“There’s really no time to rest at all . ”
Bennett picked up the call .
“You—Your Excellency, the Six Nations!”
A government official was on the other side of the call, stuttering with a sharp voice . Bennett could hear his panic clearly even through the call . He felt that his eardrum was hurting and held the telephone a little further away from his ear .
“What are you yelling about? What happened?”
“Th—the Six Nations have declared war on us at the same time!”
Bennett immediately became stiff . His eyes widened and stood up instantly .
“Have all of them gone insane”
Clank!
The teacup fell to the ground, and the hot tea spilled all over the floor .
