Acai's Sky

Chapter 1001: The Beast Warriors Under the Remnant Light of the Blood Moon

The bloody setting sun dragged a scarlet band of light outside the warship's porthole. Ah Cai's fingertips dug deeply into the alloy armrest, leaving several crescent-shaped white marks.

The smoke from the battlefield in the distant starry sky has not yet dissipated, and the broken wreckage of the starship is like drifting dead leaves, slowly spinning in the void of the universe, silently telling the cruelty of the tragic battle just now.

"Where are the others?"

Acai's voice seemed to come out from taut strings, with an imperceptible tremor at the end.

She looked around, her eyes sweeping across the devastated command cabin, but she didn't see the familiar furry figure in any corner.

In the past, whenever the battle alarm sounded, Tuantuan would always appear by her side first, rubbing her palms with his soft fur and purring in comfort.

But at this moment, the command cabin was empty except for the thick smoke and scattered busy soldiers, which made people feel uneasy.

Qin General Bai Qi, clad in blood-stained armor, his black iron shoulder pads still emitting sparks, followed Ah Cai's gaze and scanned the battlefield ruins.

This famous general of the Warring States Period, who had fought on the battlefield for a thousand years, now had deep furrows on his brow.

"I've been so busy fighting interstellar pirates these days that I didn't even notice them!" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue and regret.

Qin general Bai Qi raised his hand and gently pressed his temple. The tragic scenes of the battles in the past few days emerged in front of his eyes - dense artillery fire, fallen soldiers, and explosions one after another. In such a chaotic battle situation, he actually ignored the whereabouts of the spirit beasts.

A Cai bit her lip, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Even the glutinous rice balls are not here. Where did they go?" She muttered to herself, her hands subconsciously on her hips, and an uneasy premonition surged in her heart.

As the master of the spirit beasts, she knew too well the abilities of these little guys.

Tuantuan possesses the magical power to heal wounds. In every battle, it can always cheer up the injured soldiers with its warm light. Although Nuomituan looks soft and cute, it has powerful defensive skills and can build an indestructible shield for everyone at the critical moment.

If they were there, those Qin soldiers might not have sacrificed their lives in vain, and Qin general Bai Qi would not have to summon new soldiers to replenish his forces again, and endure the pain of watching his soldiers fall one after another.

Qin general Bai Qi was silent for a moment, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He naturally understood the importance of the spirit beasts, but on the ever-changing battlefield, his attention was focused on deploying troops and commanding battles, and he actually neglected this group of special "comrades-in-arms."

"Don't worry too much, they are very smart, maybe they are going to carry out some secret mission." He tried to comfort Acai, but he was not sure either.

Acai paced back and forth in the command cabin, and every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.

She recalled every moment she spent with the spirit beasts: in the early morning, Tuantuan would wake her up with his wet nose, and then snuggle into her arms like a spoiled child; during breaks in battle, Nuomituan would jump around and perform funny little shows for everyone, making everyone laugh.

But now, they were nowhere to be found, and she could not sense their distance, as if they were too far away and vague.

Just when Ah Cai was anxious and restless, the alarm suddenly sounded again.

The harsh sound echoed in the command cabin, and everyone became nervous and quickly entered combat mode.

Acai gripped the weapon at his waist tightly, his eyes full of vigilance.

However, this alarm was different from previous ones. What was displayed on the radar screen was not the interstellar pirate warship, but a strange yet faintly familiar energy fluctuation.

As the energy fluctuations got closer, a bright light lit up outside the command module.

After the light faded, a massive starship slowly emerged. Ah Cai's eyes widened. The starship's unique design, a beautiful fusion of mechanics and nature, was the vehicle of the mechanical clan led by Tong Jiayuan.

The starship hatch opened, and a figure stepped out first. It was Tong Jiayuan, wearing a silver mechanical armor and a confident smile on his face.

"My lord, General Bai Qi, how are you?" His voice was clear and powerful.

A Cai didn't bother to say hello and rushed forward immediately.

"Yuan, have you seen Tuantuan and the others? Where have my spirit beasts gone?" Her tone was anxious, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Tong Jiayuan smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a shocking scene appeared—countless spirit beasts poured out of the starship and rushed towards Ah Cai like a tide.

Tuantuan took the lead, its furry body drew a graceful arc in the air and fell directly into Acai's arms.

Acai hugged Tuan Tuan tightly, feeling its familiar body temperature and soft fur, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Where have you been? Do you know how worried I was?" A Cai said with a sob, gently patting Tuan Tuan's back.

Tuan Tuan whimpered in grievance and rubbed his head against A Cai's cheek, as if apologizing to her.

Nuomituan also came over jumping and circling around Acai, making happy noises.

Acai squatted down and hugged the glutinous rice ball in her arms. The worry and anxiety in her heart instantly turned into joy and peace of mind.

At this time, Tong Jiayuan stepped forward and began to narrate what had happened.

It turned out that when Acai and the Qin soldiers were fighting fiercely with the "Dark Moon", Tong Jiayuan led the mechanical clan to investigate and accidentally discovered a secret base of the "Dark Moon Organization".

This stronghold is an important supply station for Dark Moon, storing a large amount of weapons and energy. If it can be destroyed, it will be a heavy blow to Dark Moon.

Just as Tong Jiayuan was preparing to formulate a battle plan, a group of spirit beasts suddenly appeared, led by none other than 朏朏·Tuantuan.

Tuan Tuan seemed to have noticed Tong Jiayuan's intention and took the initiative to communicate with him, expressing his desire to attack together.

The beasts hate "Dark Moon" deeply because they were kicked out of the "Yellow Spring Street" by the treasure keeper of the Yellow Spring before their owner could buy the things he wanted last time.

Thus, a thrilling raid began.

The spirit beasts, with their keen perception and agility, shuttled around the Dark Moon stronghold, disrupting the enemy's defenses;

The mechanical clan uses advanced weapons and sophisticated tactics to carry out precise attacks on the pirates' defense facilities.

During the battle, Acai's beasts only used half of their abilities and directly crushed the entire supply station of the "Dark Moon" organization.

With the close cooperation of the beasts and the mechanical clan, the secret stronghold of "Dark Moon" was quickly breached.

However, this is just the beginning.

Upon learning that their stronghold had been destroyed, the top leaders of "Dark Moon" were furious and immediately mobilized a large number of troops to launch a counterattack.

Tong Jiayuan did not retreat. He and the spirit beasts decided to pursue the victory and completely eliminate the threat of "Dark Moon".

In the next few days, they traveled to multiple galaxies and launched fierce attacks on more than a dozen Dark Moon hideouts.

Each battle was extremely fierce, but under the tenacious resistance of the spirit beasts and the mechanical clan, the power of "Dark Moon" was continuously weakened.

As A Cai listened to Tong Jiayuan's story, she felt both proud and scared.

She was proud that her spirit beasts were so brave and powerful, and had made great achievements in protecting the peace of the universe.

What I fear is that these battles must be full of dangers. What if something goes wrong...

Qin general Bai Qi walked up and patted Tong Jiayuan on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

"I never thought you would actually deal such a heavy blow to Dark Moon! This time, thanks to you and these spirit beasts, we don't know how long we would have been entangled with Dark Moon."

Tong Jiayuan smiled and waved his hand.

“This is all thanks to everyone, the spirit beasts are the real heroes.

Furthermore, our goal is to completely destroy Dark Moon, so we cannot relax now."

Ah Cai looked at Tuan Tuan in her arms and the cheerful spirit beasts around them. "That's right. As long as the Dark Moon isn't eliminated, the universe won't be at peace. Since Tuan Tuan and the others have made a good start, let's keep fighting until the Dark Moon is completely destroyed!"

Deep in the darkness of the universe, on the main ship of "Dark Moon", the leader had a gloomy face and looked at the news of defeat that kept coming in front of him, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Players Acai, Bai Qi, Tong Jiayuan, and that group of damn spirit beasts, I will not let you have an easy time! I will make the entire universe pay the price for what happened today!" He clenched his fists and said gritting his teeth.
