"Damn! I got so caught up chatting with you all!"
Feeling the vibration of the Milano, Rocket Raccoon hurriedly ran towards the cockpit: "It felt like we just hit an asteroid, hopefully the cockpit is okay..."
"What!?!"
Star-Lord couldn't sit still after hearing that: "Hey, that's my ship!"
"It's your fault for being lazy and not coming back!"
Rocket Raccoon cursed as he ran: "It was almost time for you to take over the controls, but you slacked off. And the autopilot on this ship is awful, it's never been maintained since it left the factory, right?"
"Factory? What factory?"
Star-Lord said directly: "This ship was assembled by Yondu from parts, there's no such thing as a factory for it. Of course, he gave me the best parts..."
"Why did I ever choose such a crappy ship!"
Their voices, full of complaints, faded away as they reached the cockpit.
"I..."
Drax thought for a moment, then looked at the Thorny Tree Person and Groot, and decided to leave: "They said we're almost there, I'll go to the bathroom first."
After saying that, he left with a frying pan in hand.
When everyone had left, only Groot and the Thorny Tree Person were left, looking at each other.
Groot is famously good-natured. Seeing his grandson... uh, or should I say step-grandson? He was a bit excited and kept trying to communicate with him.
The Thorny Tree Person seemed a bit confused.
Just born like the little Ender Dragon, the Thorny Tree Person was far inferior. He could only parrot what others said in a broken way, looking somewhat dazed.
But that's not really his fault.
If Ender Dragons are viewed according to D&D settings, they symbolize the end of everything, clearly a high-tier dragonkin, probably with ancient memories and an unlimited potential once grown.
As for the Thorny Tree Person.
Groot's mind is already slow, and the Thorny Tree Person only inherited half of Groot's lineage. The other half comes from Twilight Thorns, which are not known for their intelligence.
But it seems Groot doesn't mind.
Even if the Thorny Tree Person only parrots others, he looks happy, and even grew a flower from his hand to give to him.
Seeing the flower, the other thought for a moment, then opened his hand, but instead of a flower, he grew a thorn as thick as a chopstick.
"Wow, that's a sharp gift..."
Fang Mo couldn't help but comment, but before getting a response, the ship suddenly shook violently again.
"Hm?"
Fang Mo was a bit puzzled.
He looked at the Thorny Tree Person and Groot, who seemed to be communicating well, feeling that the Thorny Tree Person should understand Groot, given their shared lineage.
So, Fang Mo headed straight to the cockpit.
Pushing open the door, he asked Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord: "What's happening? Are you two having fun shaking the hip in the cockpit?"
"Only you would."
Rocket kept operating the controls: "Actually... our ship has encountered a Kree patrol, and they are chasing us."
"...Really? This is good."
Hearing this, Fang Mo's face showed a surprised expression.
"No choice, after all, the Kree are not as friendly as the Xandarians, their attitude and difficulty are second only to the Sovereign... Wait? Did you just say this is a good thing?"
The Rocket Raccoon operating the console was startled, then incredulously turned to Fang Mo: "What… are you up to again? Isn't it enough that Drax has a frying pan?"
"Hey, why do you think so badly of me?"
Fang Mo smiled: "First, send a video to the Kree people over there. I'll talk to them. Our Team Rocket is a great organization maintaining peace in the galaxy. We shouldn't always be fighting and killing. Just watch my words…"
"No need, the Kree have already contacted us."
Star-Lord looked down at the screen, then pressed a button. Instantly, a screen appeared before everyone, showing several blue-skinned Kree in the video.
Before Fang Mo could speak, the Kree had already started speaking arrogantly.
"Foolish plunderers, this is the border of the great Kree Empire." The leading Kree, holding a huge energy gun, said haughtily: "The Supreme Intelligence does not allow any vermin to offend the Empire's dignity. Scram back! Or we'll open fire and crush you…"
"…"
Hearing this, both Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon felt a chill in their hearts.
They almost simultaneously looked towards Fang Mo.
"Oh? Are you sure?"
As expected, Fang Mo immediately revealed a dangerous smile: "Do you know what happened to the last guy named Ronan who talked to me like this?"
"Ronan?"
The Kree glanced at each other and then couldn't help but sneer: "Are you talking about the Supreme Accuser Ronan? You, a bunch of space scavengers? Look at the ship you're flying… Hahaha, if Lord Ronan really appeared before you, you'd probably be scared out of your wits."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you one last chance."
Fang Mo said: "If I really get angry… honestly, you can't bear the consequences. So, why not ask the Supreme Intelligence or some other superior first? Don't mistake ignorance for courage."
"You're in a good mood?"
Hearing this, the Kree leader suddenly showed a cruel smile: "That's quite a coincidence, my mood is very bad today. Since you refuse to leave quietly, don't blame us for being impolite."
With that, he ordered his subordinates: "Fire, kill these little thieves who invaded the Empire's border."
"Great, I like people who seek death."
Fang Mo smiled and nodded: "Ronan would be very pleased to see this scene. Rocket, go get Drax out of the toilet. Let his frying pan witness this scene…"
After saying this, he vanished on the spot with a flash of blue light.
At the moment Fang Mo disappeared, the Kree warship launched another attack. Star-Lord quickly maneuvered the ship to dodge, but the left wing was still hit, causing the ship to shake violently.
"No… where did he go?"
Star-Lord controlled the ship and shouted, "The Kree's cannon is too powerful. If we take a few more hits, the ship will fall apart!"
"Don't panic, he's already gone out."
Rocket Raccoon adjusted his hat, feeling almost used to such scenes. He jumped down from the console and walked towards the toilet, waving his hand and saying, "You just keep controlling the ship…"
"Alright, I saw him too."
Star-Lord dodged a particle cannon, but then suddenly paused: "Wait… what's he doing with that box?"
