On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

After spinning around hundreds of times, I finally let go.

The tortoise flew away like a boulder launched by a catapult. Its grayish-white shell grew smaller and smaller against the dark red sky, finally disappearing into the depths of the grove of trees.

"boom."

The sound came from a great distance, like someone firing a cannon in the distance.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Horse Talisman Fragment x1]

"That's all for now."

Then a second loud bang came from the other side, but not from the direction of the tortoise.

"What's going on?" He turned to look in that direction, then turned back to look at the direction the tortoise had landed. "Besides the tortoise's side, why is it ringing from the other side too?"

Ye Han looked in that direction, but couldn't see anything.

But sound doesn't lie.

There's definitely something going on in that direction.

Driven by curiosity, Ye Han headed in that direction.

We stopped on a small hilltop and used the rocks as cover to observe the situation ahead.

On a relatively flat open space, there is a small spaceship.

The tail of the spacecraft showed obvious signs of damage, and there was a long scratch on the ground.

Based on the situation at the scene, it is highly likely that the spacecraft made an emergency landing on the gravitational planet.

The spaceship's hatch was open, and there was no one inside.

There were several messy footprints on the ground near the door, all heading in one direction.

Ye Han looked in the direction of the footprints.

Not far from the spaceship, Ye Han saw three people being chased by a giant stone frog.

The three people ran very slowly.

The gravity of the planet pressed down on them, making every step feel like wading through a swamp.

Ye Han glanced at it.

A person wearing a red nose, like the fake nose worn by clowns.

Another mascot costume wearing a lion head looked somewhat comical as it ran.

Finally, there was a burly man with dark skin.

He was the biggest and tallest of the three, so he didn't have as much trouble running as the other two.

These three people standing together have completely different styles.

One is like a circus clown, one is like an amusement park mascot, and one is like a fighter in an underground boxing ring.

The giant stone frogs behind them were leaping rapidly.

Thump—it bounced up.

Thump—it landed.

With each takeoff and landing, the distance between them decreases.

If they keep running like this, it won't be long before the giant stone frog catches up.

But the giant stone frog's jumping rhythm was neither too fast nor too slow, as if it were toying with them.

The one in the mascot costume glanced back at the distance to the giant stone frog as he ran.

He had reached his limit and quickly made a decision: "Commander Phil, Lal! I'll lure that giant stone frog away, you guys run!"

"No!" Commander Red-Nosed Phil said anxiously, "Sama, don't be foolish. If we split up now, we'll be committing suicide."

The burly man, Lal, said, "Sama, don't worry. If we manage to leave here alive, I'll definitely live a good life for you, a beautiful one, a wonderful one!"

"Enough talk. Before I change my mind, and while I still have the strength to run, you guys better run. Ral, you bastard, I'm not going to say anything to you this time. Just get going."

Sama picked up a stone and threw it at the giant stone frog.

The stone hit the giant frog's tough skin and bounced off.

It didn't hurt or itch, but the giant stone frog's attention was drawn to it.

Sama stood still, patted his butt twice, then made a face at the giant stone frog and taunted, "Old toad, come and chase me if you dare!"

Seeing that he had strayed from the group, Commander Phil called out, "Sama, come here quickly!"

Sama glanced back.

That one glance was like seeing a savior, and they ran back.

Commander Phil was squatting on the ground, taking something out of somewhere.

It's a bucket of instant noodles.

"Wow! Captain, you actually have Galaxy Eye Monster Instant Noodles! This is saving us."

"Stop talking nonsense and come over here right now."

Monster Ramen is a special container developed by GalaxyEyes that can capture low-level intelligent creatures and seal them in the compressed space inside the ramen bucket.

Few people know the underlying principle, but the usage is very simple.

Tear open the seal, turn it upside down on the ground, and the sealed creature will be released and recognize the releaser as its master.

This kind of thing sells for a high price on the interstellar black market. The barrel that Phil has in his hand is one he stole from the army of soldiers.

It was originally intended to be saved as a last resort.

Now is the last resort.

Without saying a word, Philip tore open the seal and turned the instant noodle cup upside down on the ground.

A bright plume of smoke exploded from the bottom of the barrel, and a ball of white light shone within the smoke. It rapidly expanded, took shape, and finally coalesced into the outline of a living creature.

The smoke dissipated.

A tortoise-bear appeared on the ground.

Ye Han squinted and looked at it several times: "This thing feels so familiar, like I've seen it in the original story."

The tortoise bear is quite large, covered in white fur, but its body is partially covered by a shell.

It looks like a combination of a tortoise and a polar bear, and it has a silly appearance.

Turtle Bear stood in front of Phil.

The three of them had high hopes for it, and their expressions relaxed considerably.

"Captain Phil, why didn't you say you had Monster Instant Noodles sooner? If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have had to make such a big decision!" Sama felt a little embarrassed about his feat just now.

After finally choosing the heroic act of sacrifice, I looked back and saw that the commander had brought out something even better.

"You didn't even ask. Now it's up to Turtle Bear."

Phil gave the order: "Go, Tortoise Bear! It's up to you this time, take care of that giant stone frog."

The tortoise bear obeyed and immediately leaped up from the ground, rushing toward the giant stone frog falling from the sky.

The giant rock frog fell down.

A massive shadow loomed over the tortoise bear, then crashed down with the force of a thunderbolt.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the ground shook, and gravel flew everywhere. The tortoise bear, along with its shell, was thrown into the air, tumbling several times before landing on the ground, bouncing once, rolling a few times, and then remaining still.

It only lasted a few seconds.

The open space was deathly silent.

The three people stood there, looking at the unconscious tortoise-bear in the distance, and all fell silent.

Captain Phil remained with the instant noodle bucket pressed to the ground, his lips twitching a few times, a complex expression that was difficult to describe appear on his face.

Sama spoke up: "Guild...Guild Leader, is this monster instant noodle expired?"

"Isn't this a bit too fast?" Ral said disappointedly.

"It's not that it's expired, but that the Tortoise Bear is no match for the Giant Stone Frog. The Giant Stone Frog thrives on Gravity Planet, and there are almost no creatures that can rival them. The difference in strength is too great," Phil explained helplessly, covering his face.

Sama panicked immediately, his fluffy lion head mask tilting even further as he turned his head: "What do we do now? That toad is looking over here again!!"

For a moment, the group was plunged into despair.

Phil took a deep breath, pulled out a magic wand, and prepared to fight: "The worst that can happen is death, what's there to be afraid of? Eighteen years from now, we'll be heroes again."

The unconscious tortoise bear was taken back by the monster instant noodles.

Sama said with a long face, "Boss, we just want to open a circus, why is it so difficult? It's harder than the journey to the West!"

The giant stone frogs didn't give them much time to reflect.
