After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 266 In a Critical Moment, There Was a Plan in Place?

The statues beneath the eerie sea, for reasons unknown, seemed to have angered the Beast God after Rick broke off the totem, and now they were trying to devour all life.

Liang He was struck by the sudden, immense force and immediately lost consciousness.

Fortunately, Leila had previously refused to let her give her diving equipment to the injured sailor, which prevented her from drowning.

[Chief Elie, do you intend to become an enemy of the rebels?]

Back in the dark sea, Rick's special equipment allowed him to barely see an area of ​​about one meter around him.

After discovering that Liang He had been knocked unconscious, Rick was overjoyed and prepared to take the opportunity to leave with Liang He from the other side, but was stopped by Elius, who had returned to human form.

Elius scoffed at Rick's dangerous gaze, completely unconcerned.

"Ha, it's not your place to threaten me."

Even Commander Nick, a member of the rebel army, wouldn't dare speak to him like that.

Realizing Elius's displeasure, Rick, who had been nearly driven to madness by Liang He's provocation, finally regained some composure.

Recalling the rumors about Elius and the way he had just casually killed the ferocious beast, he instantly softened.

【Please don't misunderstand, I just feel that your identity has already been exposed. If you let Liang He go like this, you may never see her again.】

Such a long passage could not possibly be expressed by Lick using gestures.

The equipment that Rick wore was somewhat similar to an aircraft suit, with a helmet-like headgear. Even though Elius couldn't hear his voice, he could still tell from his mouth movements.

"..."

It must be said that Rick is very good at understanding people's hearts.

His words hit the nail on the head, directly addressing what Elius cared about most.

Elius hesitated when he thought about returning to the wandering planet and Liang He continuing to be a zookeeper, having all her attention taken away by the other furry creatures, and perhaps never thinking of him again.

"lead the way."

Seeing that Elius did not refute him and did not intend to take Liang He back to find Lyra and the others, Rick visibly breathed a sigh of relief and treated him with even more respect and politeness.

Okay, please follow me.

Rick made an inviting gesture.

Unlike him, Elius could move freely and communicate easily even in the unfathomable ocean without diving equipment.

Elius wouldn't let Rick touch Liang He, and domineeringly pulled her into his arms, embracing her tightly, and swam with her in the water, catching up with Rick.

He felt the gentle touch of Liang He's fingertips as their hands were tightly clasped together. A strange light flashed in his dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

【This way.】

The three swam for nearly twenty minutes and were long out of the main group's pursuit range. Reassured, Rick pointed to the right front, signaling Elius to follow.

Soon, a submarine that seemed to have been waiting for them appeared before them.

Did Rick have someone ready to meet him all along?

That makes sense, since he was determined to take Liang He away, he would naturally make preparations in advance.

[Chief Eli, please.]

Rick gestured for Elius to come in, wary that if he went up first, Elius would escape with Liang He.

After all, anyone could see the special attitude Elius had towards Liang He just now.

Having come this far, Elius had no reason to retreat. He led Liang He into the submarine without incident, with Rick following closely behind.

"Lick, the strange sea area has been destroyed and the toxins have spread. It is no longer suitable as a testing ground. We must evacuate immediately."

As the sound came from the submarine's cockpit, Rick told Elius to help Liang He sit down, closed the hatch, and immediately contacted the waiting rebels for backup after the submarine started.

"It's a real shame that I can't witness the spectacular scene of those idiots being submerged by the sea."

Through the submarine's glass, Rick looked in the direction of Lyra and the others, and slowly raised a smug smile.

In the end, he was the winner after all!

"Help! I don't want to die! Help!" The destruction of the statue cut off the only source of light, plunging everyone into the eerie sea vortex of the abyss. The churning seawater was like a washing machine, mercilessly churning everyone.

Just when Oko and the others thought they were about to drown in this strange sea, a mysterious force suddenly enveloped them.

"This...what is this?"

Wait a minute! How could he have spoken just now?!
Oko looked at Leila and the others on the other side in shock, and found that they, like him, had their eyes wide open like saucers, filled with disbelief.

"Captain, it's Kunpeng!"

Finally, someone discovered Huo An's existence.

Although Huo An concealed his orc identity, the photo of him fighting the rebels in the form of a Kunpeng was still deeply etched in everyone's memory.

After all, the interstellar citizens had never seen such a wondrous creature as the Kunpeng before.

"Kunpeng? That Kunpeng that once fought against the rebels?"

Laila heard their cheers, but she never expected to meet Kunpeng here and be saved by him.

"Are the Kunpeng Beastmen always on Skalan Star?"

Logically speaking, since the Kunpeng can fly to the sky and enter the sea, it is not unreasonable for it to appear on Ocean Star, but Lyra always felt that it was too coincidental.

However, she didn't have time to think. Recalling the last scene of being swallowed by the whirlpool, she instantly became excited.

"Where's Liang He? Where did Liang He go?!"

Just now, Leila was almost captured by Rick, but Liang He rescued her from Rick's clutches. However, she can't find Liang He anywhere now.

Anxious and frantic, Leila frantically waved her hands, asking them if they had seen Liang He.

"Laila, calm down, Lianghe will definitely be alright."

Oko advised Leila to calm down and wait until they returned to the sea before trying to find Liang He.

No matter how anxious you are now, it's all in vain.

"No! Liang He did this to save me... I have to take her back with me!"

No matter what, Leila would never abandon Lianghe and live a life of ignominy!
However, she wasn't the only one enveloped by the Kunpeng; there were others as well. They all wanted to survive, especially after nearly experiencing death, and no one uttered a sound.

"Be quiet."

Seeing that Leila was about to do something dangerous, Hoan, who had been pretending to be mute, couldn't hold back any longer.

However, he knew there were some things that others should not know, so only Colonel Lyra could hear his voice.

"Liang He is fine, you don't need to worry."

Leila was somewhat familiar with Huo An's voice, so when she heard Kunpeng speak, and it was the same voice as Huo An's, her already tense nerves instantly snapped.

"You, you are... District Chief Huo?!"

What's going on?! How could Kunpeng be Huo An?! And when exactly did he catch up with us?!

"How will you be here?!"

They were even rescued at a critical moment.

"It was Liang He. She was worried about your safety and asked me to disguise myself as a federal soldier and secretly follow you."

If she were to impersonate a sailor, it would be easy for Oko to recognize her, but it would be different with the Federation Army; not everyone would recognize Lyra.

"So... Liang He knows you're a beastman?"

She even knew perfectly well that Huo An's beast form was a Kunpeng!

"Ah."

Huo An didn't want to say more about this matter.

The main reason was that he didn't expect his identity to be exposed so quickly, and it even caught him off guard.

When Liang He suddenly approached him the night before his departure to discuss this matter, it had a significant impact on Huo An.

"Then...did she foresee all of this?"
