Chapter 7
“It seems these robots aren't so bad after all.”
After watching the entire situation unfold, Gaia had a change of heart about Sai Xiao Xi and the other two.
He no longer saw them as villains, like he had before.
“......But what are they looking for Ray for?”
Gaia furrowed his brow, his eyes deep as he gazed at the Volcano Planet in the video.
“I've searched for Ray for 500 years and couldn't find him. Is he really on this planet?”
He had spent so much time searching with nothing to show for it. These little robots, who were weaker than him, would be unlikely to have any clues about Ray, right?
“Whatever, I'll see how it plays out.”
.................................
Somewhere deep in the vastness of space.
“Whew, that was close. Thankfully Sai Xiao Xi and the others helped out, or the Space Pirates would have gotten away with it.”
Seeing Gaia safe, Ray let out a sigh of relief.
The topic of Space Pirates brought a scowl to his face.
“Those evil bastards. Are they now targeting me and Gaia?”
“It seems like they need a taste of their own medicine!”
During his search for the Infinite Energy, he had many run-ins with the infamous pirates.
Whenever he saw them bullying the weak and capturing Elites, he would intervene and give them a good beating as punishment.
But now it seemed like those punishments weren't enough. Evil needed to be eradicated completely. A decisive strike was needed!
..........................................
The video continued to play.
After parting ways with Gaia, Sai Xiao Xi and the others were supposed to return to the Seir Starship on their airship.
After all, their mission was complete. The supposed distress signal was just a trap.
But the damage to their airship was too severe.
Even after Gaia pulled it out of the deep pit, it couldn't immediately take off.
The three were left with no choice but to continue resting on Volcano Planet while they repaired the airship.
As its name suggests, Volcano Planet is covered in countless volcanoes.
This made the entire planet's temperature ridiculously hot.
“Ouch...It’s so strange, it’s so hot today.”
Sai Xiao Xi and A Tie Da slumped against the airship, sweat dripping down their foreheads.
Xiao Mi was panting and sweating profusely from the heat.
Ka Lu Lu, who was repairing the airship, also wiped away sweat every now and then. It was clear that even she was struggling in this high temperature.
A Tie Da said with a puff of heat, “My gut tells me that the temperature here is rising rapidly.”
Sweat he wiped from his forehead evaporated instantly. This heat wasn't normal.
Ka Lu Lu took out a thermometer and cautiously placed it on the ground. Less than three seconds later, the thermometer exploded from the heat!
Sai Xiao Xi was startled, “This Volcano Planet is really burning up.”
Ka Lu Lu was also sweating profusely, “Volcano Planet is hot, but not this hot.”

The Seir Starship Vanguard Battle Team.
“My gut tells me things aren't as simple as they seem,” A Tie Da stroked his chin, pretending to ponder.
Ka Lu Lu rolled her eyes, “Like you need to say it! Volcano Planet was fine before, now the temperature is suddenly rising, there must be a reason!”
“Maybe someone is deliberately causing trouble!”
The cowardly Sai Xiao Xi flinched, “Could it be the Space Pirates again?”
“But didn’t Gaia send Ai Li Xun flying?”
A Tie Da shrugged, “Who knows if he has any accomplices? Those Space Pirates are the most cunning.”
Ka Lu Lu questioned, “Speaking of which, it's strange why Gaia would come here to find Ray. Could Ray really be on Volcano Planet? And is this commotion related to him?”
..........................................
The video continued to play.
As they were wondering about the sudden rise in temperature,
A Tie Da suddenly sprang to his feet, drawing his Zan Yue Twin Blades behind his back, “I sense killing intent!”
The next second, two small figures bounded towards them from afar, their movements light and carefree.
One was an Elite shaped like a fish, the other had a long, spiral shell on its back.
Both Elites were fiery red, clearly Fire-type Elites.
“It’s Xiao Ba Duo and Huo Yan Bei!”
Seeing the two Elites approaching, Sai Xiao Xi greeted them cheerfully, “Hey there.”
“Ba Duo...Ba Duo...”
The two Elites seemed to be in a hurry, chirping excitedly as if they were trying to say something.
Ka Lu Lu quickly took out Nuo Nuo and asked it to translate.
“Nuo Nuo, translate quickly.”
As Nuo Nuo connected, Xiao Ba Duo and Huo Yan Bei's voices became clear.
Xiao Ba Duo opened his mouth and delivered a terrifying news.
“No good! The Volcano Core is about to explode!”
“Explode?!” Sai Xiao Xi and the other three were startled. Why would Volcano Planet explode? It seemed perfectly fine just now.
Xiao Ba Duo continued to explain, “It's like this, there's a Fire-type Elite on Volcano Planet called Chi Xi Xi Bi, and every 500 years he dances... ”
“But I can dance too! Why hasn't Volcano Planet exploded?”
The silly Sai Xiao Xi interrupted Xiao Ba Duo, even going so far as to start dancing, looking like a fool.
A Tie Da and Ka Lu Lu looked at each other, their faces full of black lines, and chose to ignore the moron.
Xiao Mi covered her face, feeling ashamed of her owner.
Huo Yan Bei said glumly, “Chi Xi Xi Bi has a magical power. Once he starts dancing, the entire Volcano Planet's temperature will rise drastically until it explodes!”

Chat group.
【A Tie Da: Hmph, I knew this heat was abnormal. It’s that guy Chi Xi Xi Bi causing trouble!】
【Ji Feng: He can actually make a planet’s temperature soar and explode just by dancing. This Elite is really dangerous!】
【Sai Xiao Xi: Is Chi Xi Xi Bi an idiot? If he really blows up the planet, wouldn’t he be unable to survive?】
【Pai Te Doctor: You can't use a robot's way of thinking to understand Elites. To Chi Xi Xi Bi, dancing is the most important thing.】
【Ka Lu Lu: These Elites are really weird.】
【Luo Jie Captain: Now is not the time to be sentimental. If Volcano Planet explodes, all the Elites there will suffer. We need to stop Chi Xi Xi Bi.】
..........................................
The video continued to play.
“Ah?! ”
After hearing the two Elites’ explanation, Sai Xiao Xi and the others finally realized the seriousness of the situation, finally understanding why the temperature of Volcano Planet had risen so drastically.
It was all because of that Elite called Chi Xi Xi Bi!
And if they let the temperature continue to rise, the entire Volcano Planet would explode!
Xiao Ba Duo continued, “Legend says the last time he danced, Thunder God Ray stopped him, and Volcano Planet didn’t explode.”
“Ray?” The three members of the Battle Team were all taken aback, surprised that this was somehow related to Ray.
Huo Yan Bei shook his head and sighed, “But it's only been 5 years since the last time, and Chi Xi Xi Bi has started dancing again.”
A Tie Da patted his chest with confidence, assuring them.
“Don’t worry, with me, the future First Cosmic Warrior, Volcano Planet will never explode!”
Xiao Ba Duo and Huo Yan Bei looked at each other, believing him, “Then we’ll leave it to you.”
Sai Xiao Xi also reassured them, “Hehe, we are cosmic space explorers.”
