Chapter 54: The Sand Bandits Have Arrived, Trouble Has Come!

  （0054）

  Myanmar military base, underground, hospital.

  A long hospital stay made Song Haicheng feel extremely anxious. He didn't even want to stay in the hospital for an hour. However, his arm had not yet healed, and he had to stay in the hospital. Counting the days, there were still thirty days left, and Song Haicheng was about to go crazy.

  When the man in black sneaked in, Song Haicheng was standing bored in front of the window, admiring the scenery outside. All the windows in the hospital were actually sealed. What Song Haicheng saw was actually a holographic image. It could project outer space onto the window. Therefore, standing behind the window and looking out, what you see is outer space.

  "Twelfth Young Master, our plan has failed." The man in black reported with a bitter tone.

  "What? Failed?" Song Haicheng turned around in shock, his face full of incredulity.

  "You said that Fifth Brother found five killers for me, and we all went out to deal with that Xia Xingxiao, but they actually failed?" Song Haicheng felt like he was about to explode. If this black-clad man wasn't his trusted aide, he really couldn't resist kicking him flying.

  The strength of those five people, he can estimate. With the style of doing things by Big Brother Song Hailong, he will absolutely not do something that is not grasped. If it were Song Haicheng, I estimate he would only find one person, at most two people to trouble Xia Xingxiao. But Song Hailong doesn't take action easily, once he does, it's a dead end. He actually mobilized five killers!

  But now, the men in black were telling him that they had actually failed!

  Five people worked together and still failed! What kind of concept is this? This shows that Xia Xing Xiao's strength is even stronger than the combined efforts of these five people! Is this possible? Is this possible?

  Song Haicheng was about to go crazy, he yelled recklessly: "Jiang Jinyan, don't tell me they're all dead! All five of them are dead!"

  The man in black, named Jiang Jinyan, hung his head and remained silent, enduring Song Haicheng's anger. It wasn't until after Song Haicheng had vented that he reluctantly said: "Young Master Shi, unfortunately, all five of them are indeed dead."

  Song Haicheng was about to jump up. He roared hysterically: "Notify the Chief of Staff immediately! Xia Xingxiao killed five people, and he has been caught!"

  Jiang Jinyan said helplessly: "Young master, do you think Yu Zhilei will believe it? And if this matter gets out of hand, what impact will it have on the fifth young master?"

  Song Haicheng was stunned. Ah, would Yu Zhilei believe it? If they announced to the outside world that Xia Xingxiao alone had killed five opponents who were higher in rank than himself, who would believe it? Moreover, if this matter were really made public, how could Song Hailong explain it? Hiring someone to commit murder was a very serious crime, and it would be difficult to clear their names. If the Myanmar military base investigated, many people would likely be implicated. By then, things would have gotten out of hand.

  "Twelfth Master, this matter cannot be exposed to the light of day. The aftermath has already been taken care of by Fifth Master. The bodies of those five people will be quickly removed and no trace will be left behind. It's as if nothing ever happened here. As for the Chief of Staff, naturally he knows nothing about it."

  Song Haicheng couldn't help but roar again: "Is it that Fifth Brother is willing to let things go just like this? Five people, five people were taken away just like that, can he be resigned to his fate?"

  Jiang Jinyan said helplessly, "The Fifth Master will not be willing to give up. However, secretly sending people from other military bases is a very taboo thing. This kind of thing can only be done once and then stopped immediately. If it's done a second time, it will definitely provoke the anger of the Mian Luo military base. Our people came in from outside, Chen Duo Hai couldn't possibly not know. He's an old fox. Don't look at how calm and quiet he usually is, but he's actually very astute. Even the Chief of Staff doesn't dare to easily provoke him."

  Song Haicheng could only be speechless.

  But he was really unwilling! Too unwilling!

  In addition to feeling resentful, Song Haicheng also felt a thread of fear and a thread of despair.

  The five people sent by Song Hailong were all killed by Xia Xingxiao, what does this show? This shows that Xia Xingxiao's strength is far above his. Those five people, any one of them could have killed him Song Haicheng. But when they joined forces, they couldn't even kill one Xia Xingxiao, and instead got killed themselves. It can be imagined how vast the gap between him and Xia Xingxiao is.

  What's even more frustrating is that when Xia Xingxiao's strength was rapidly increasing, Song Haicheng was still recovering from his illness in the hospital! He had a full thirty days where he couldn't cultivate with all his might. Thirty days passed, who knows what realm Xia Xingxiao has reached by now? Does he even have a chance to surpass Xia Xingxiao anymore? Even Song Haicheng himself felt somewhat hopeless.

  "But there is one opportunity, perhaps we can take advantage of..."

  Song Hai's eyes lit up as if a drowning man had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He hastily asked, "Quickly, what opportunity?"

  Jiang Jinyan said, "I just got the latest news that Xia Xingxiao participated in the Starry Sky Football Match and helped Li Yuzi defeat Yan Baoqing. This matter, I reckon Yan Baoqing won't let it go easily, he will definitely seek revenge..."

  Song Haicheng furrowed his brow and said: "Yan Baoqing? A person from the White Tiger Star Yan family?"

  Jiang Jinyan said, "For the time being, it is impossible to determine his relationship with the Yan family. His relationship is hidden very deeply. However, within less than three months of moving from Baitu Star to Baixing Star, he was selected to join the army. There's always a feeling that something fishy is going on here."

  Song Haicheng thought for a moment and said, "If he is Yan Dawu's junior, then it's easy to handle. I don't believe that two big families and two great marshals can't get rid of Xia Xingxiao!"

  Jiang Jinyan said with some concern: "However, I must remind the young master that Li Yuzhi also seems to have a backer, and I'm afraid he will intervene..."

  Song Haicheng said disdainfully, "Among the eight marshals, there is no one with the surname Li, so you can rest assured. Even if he has a backstage or background, it won't be of much use. You think of a way to arrange for me to meet Yan Baoqing as soon as possible."

  Jiang Jinyan nodded and left.

  ……

  In the starry sky, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. In the end, only five people from the Buddhist team were left. As winners, they had to stay and celebrate properly. Li Yuzi was filled with gratitude towards this new teammate, Xia Xingxiao.

  What's even more rare is that due to Xia Xingxiao's outstanding performance, Fo Tou, Fo Kan, and Fo Zu have all accepted Xia Xingxiao's existence. They are all very friendly towards Xia Xingxiao. However, Xia Xingxiao is not particularly enthusiastic about them. No way, Xia Xingxiao's background is quite unusual. Li Yuzi also doesn't hope that Xia Xingxiao can accept the entire team of Qiufeng at once. Because, that's simply impossible.

  "Beep beep!"

  "Beep beep!"

  Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded.

  Li Yuzi's face changed, and he hastily turned his head to look at those six-armed robots.

  Alert, it was these six-armed robots that issued the warning. At the same time as they sounded the alarm, they raised their pulse electromagnetic guns in unison and fired energy shells into the distant sky. For a moment, the cannons roared and energy scattered everywhere.

  As the six-armed robot opened fire, all the artillery emplacements near the Minoan military base seemed to have received the order to open fire. One by one, the dark muzzles emerged from their hiding places and continuously fired energy shells into the starry sky. The energy shells exploded continuously in the distant starry sky, triggering a series of energy fluctuations.

  Xia Xingxiao's gaze followed the direction of the energy bullet and looked into the distance, only to find that the starry sky had gathered a large number of sand worms at some point. The bodies of these sand worms were all enormous, with lengths exceeding hundreds of kilometers and widths exceeding tens of kilometers, making them even larger than many of the Federation's largest warships.

  "Desert bandits are coming......" Xia Xingxiao muttered to himself.

  Although he had never seen a real Sand Thief, nor had he fought against one, he was able to judge at the first time that the gathering in the distant starry sky was indeed the Sand Thief army. Those sand worms were the most obvious sign of the Sand Thieves. These huge guys not only served as transportation vehicles for the stars but also as massive artillery platforms, with a power that was anything but ordinary.

  As expected, as if to confirm Xia Xingxiao's judgment, a huge sandworm suddenly spat out a yellow energy ball with its mouth and shot it at Aiyexing. The energy ball landed somewhere on Aiyexing, causing a violent explosion, and the entire planet seemed to have experienced an earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher, and Xia Xingxiao and others could feel a clear fluctuation.

  The defensive turrets of the Melon military base, as if provoked by the sandworms, fired energy balls at an even faster rate. The energy balls, like tiny light points, shot towards the distant sandworms one after another. As a result, under the intense attack of the energy balls, a massive sandworm suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments that drifted in the starry sky.

  However, when one sandworm was blown up, even more sandworms emerged. At a glance, it seemed as if the entire sky was shrouded in sandworms. Suddenly, massive sandworms scattered and charged towards the Mello military base en masse. Behind them, even more sandworms continuously spat out yellow energy balls towards the Mello military base.

  "Damn it! The Sand Bandits have at least a division of troops!" Li Yuzhi said with a stern expression.

  His combat experience is much richer than Xia Xingxiao's. His understanding of the desert thieves is also much deeper than Xia Xingxiao's. At a glance, he saw that the desert thief army gathered in the distant starry sky had at least one division of troops. Usually, a division of the desert thief army has 50,000 people, while the Mian Luo military base has less than 5,000 people.

  "We're in trouble!" someone said from behind.

  Xia Xing Xiao turned back quietly and found that it was actually Shang Shi Sun Shi Yue who had appeared.

  Although Sun Shiyue was the instructor of the fifth squad, he rarely appeared in the fifth squad. As a senior officer, his main task seemed to be patrolling outside the galaxy. Now that even he said so, Xia Xinxiao knew that this time, there might really be trouble.
