Chapter 502-Flash Back

Lily remained silent as she looked at the dragon skeleton. Kant listened to his son’s praise as he walked away.

“Father.” ” You’ve grown up,” the Transformer said.” I’m glad.”

Kant was already immune to such words. freēnovelkiss.com

He glanced back at Lily and then at the gorilla. The equally absent-minded gorilla noticed his gaze and showed a silly smile.

Kant sighed.

The parrot had a big mouth. It didn’t speak when it should, and it chirped when it shouldn’t. It covered the lid and didn’t say a word about Ah Gui’s background, leaving him clueless.

Now, Ah Xing’s condition was a little off, but he did not know how to comfort or resolve it.

Kant smiled at Ah Xing and put on his armor again.

“That shield…Interesting.”

He was referring to the moment when the howitzer was fired at the festered dragon that was charging at him. The purple beehive shield that was spread out around the dragon’s body blocked the explosion damage and shock wave damage of the howitzer. It even blocked the concentrated fire of the large-caliber machine gun for a short period of time.

This kind of tenacious and efficient energy shield was difficult to achieve even with magic from the other world.

“It is indeed very interesting.” Hearing his father talk about serious matters, Horus replied,” I’ve replayed the battle recorder. The energy shield was instantly deployed when the grenade exploded. Our experiments have also shown the same conclusion. The mysterious energy has a certain level of intelligence. It can be seen that the mysterious energy that is parasitic in the dragon’s body has sensed an extremely threatening external attack and immediately made the most effective response.”

A few images flashed in front of Kant’s visor. Amidst the invisible waves and blazing flames, the air distorted, and the purple glow of the shield shone in a demonic manner.

” Father, please take a look. At the point of explosion, the color of the shield is obviously darker than the surrounding. There are even traces of energy flow. This shield is automatically distributing the energy ratio of the local area according to the intensity of the attack. This thing doesn’t seem to be a magic thing at all. It’s more like advanced energy technology.”

” That’s not important,” Kant said after a moment of silence.” What’s important is whether or not we can make use of it?”

” We can try. The mechanism of the mysterious energy should be very clear. When ‘it’ sees the object it resides in as its host, it will automatically defend itself when the host is threatened.”

On the display screen of the visor, a complicated structure and blueprint were projected.

” According to this mechanism, we can make some objects that appear in various works on Earth, such as large shield generators, spiritual shields…”

” The difficulty now is how to guide and control the form and power of this mysterious energy. This requires a lot of follow-up experiments and tests, but we…”

” You’re right.” Kant interrupted his son’s explanation.” Just tell me the conclusion.”

“The conclusion is that we can try to make some simple personal protective equipment first.”

The complicated blueprints were swept away, and the interface of the drawing tools that came with the Windows appeared in front of Kant. Horus then drew a sci-fi energy shield on it with astonishing speed and skill that made him a CG artist.

Only the outer edges of the shield were solid, and most of the surface of the shield was illusory and transparent purple.

” The outer physical frame is an energy field restraint. When in standby mode, it can be folded and condensed onto the wrist guard and gauntlet. After unfolding, the tough shield surface constructed by mysterious energy will fill it, forming a tough shield.”

” I don’t know the upper limit of its durability,” Horus ran a simulation at an extremely fast speed.” But at least it can withstand short-term attacks from small-caliber firearms and single-target assault spells.”

” It’s portable, advanced, efficient, and cool. At least it can be assigned to relevant personnel. It can be used for rapid advancement in narrow places, special missions, and even escort operations. I think it’s fine.”

” At least it’s much more powerful than the Aegis gauntlets that are popular in the other world. Those things consume a lot of energy and are expensive to manufacture. It’s different on our side. We have brand new materials, core technology, and advanced production tools that the people in the other world can’t reach…”

” Even if I have to inject the mysterious elements into this thing, don’t forget that the binding material of the shield is still designed and processed by you!”

Perhaps there were no tools, or perhaps everyone was a tool.

But even so, the capitalists who controlled the means of production and advanced productivity had to pinch their noses and work with the peasants. This made the iron son feel the satisfaction of completing a magnificent cause.

Horus was about to make a sarcastic remark when Lily’s voice was heard.

“What are you two standing here in a daze for?”

The conversation between Kant and his iron son was concealed in the visor, isolating their voices. This was to prevent Kant from standing still and mumbling to himself.

Kant opened his visor and turned around. Lily was already standing behind him and Ah Xing.

“Are you done being happy?” Kant laughed.

Lily’s face stiffened.” No, this is enough for me to enjoy for a few days. I can’t wait to see what happens to the others. Let’s go.”

Kant glanced at the dragon’s remains that were left on the spot.

“What’s wrong?” Long Niang looked askance at him.” You want to take some?”

“That’s not it.”

Although the entire body of a dragon was a treasure, and although the dragon skeleton was extremely valuable, and every part of its body could be extracted with extremely useful elements…However, Kant’s demand for this item was no longer high.

How should he put it?

If the current situation could be resolved without any danger and the business agreement with Dragon Island continued, he would have plenty of ways to buy all kinds of dragon accessories from the Dragon Emperor. He would not have to risk losing Lily’s favorability to collect materials from this dead dragon.

If this matter could not be resolved peacefully and eventually evolved into a war…

Then there would be no lack of dragon bones.

Perhaps the largest dragon race’s peripheral export merchant in the Foreignland would change from the Dragon Emperor to him, Master Kang.

“I mean, we don’t have to bring him back to the Dragon Tomb for burial?” he asked.

” There’s no need. If you don’t want to take it, just leave it here. Actually, the death of a dragon is the true destination of a dragon. We are favored by the gods and are like demigods in the mortal world. We are born strong and have long lifespans. We take all the benefits of the world. After we die, our broken bodies will return to the mortal world. Dragon blood and endless demonic power will be given to the world. It’s not a bad thing to give those ants who were born weak and struggling in pain a chance to change their fate.”

Kant nodded gently.

If this was the pride of a dragon, then he agreed.

However, soon after, Long Niang raised her eyebrows and said proudly,” Then, because this idiot died without a corpse, he can’t be counted as a work-related injury. That idiot can’t get his pension, and the nest that he paid off for hundreds of years was confiscated because of the default. Let’s see if those conservative idiots will care. Damn it, aren’t you traditional? Aren’t you glorious? Don’t you believe in that?”

“..”

Kant’s eyes twitched.

“Is this the real reason?”

Lily snorted and looked away.

“Obviously not. You’ve returned to your original state.” Horus said resentfully,” The death of the dragon is too far-fetched. When we monopolize this underground world and arrange the development, do we have to leave the dragon’s corpse in its original place and let the hired tools secretly enjoy it?”

“As for the death in the line of duty at work, it’s even more ridiculous. It’s up to the Dragon Emperor to decide whether he died in the line of duty or not. Even if we can’t see the corpse, even if it’s to appease the Conservatives, the Dragon Emperor will still believe that it died in the line of duty.”

” So, there’s only one reason why she didn’t want to take the dragon skeleton away.”

Iron Son sighed.” It’s because the dragon’s body is riddled with holes and tattered. Every wound on it was caused by a large-caliber machine gun. This kind of injury is unique to your family in the entire Otherworld. If you bring the body back to Dragon Island, even with Lily’s testimony, the Conservatives will blame you for the murder. She’s doing this to avoid trouble and protect you.”

Kant finally understood. His heart warmed as he looked at Lily’s side profile.

All she got was a small roll of her eyes.

“Heh.” Horus sneered like a wise man who had seen through everything.” Cold on the outside but warm on the inside.”

” Let me think of a way to put it down for now,” Kant said softly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

” Hmph!” Lily snorted.” None of my business.”

After taking one last look at the Dragon Death Land, they left.

“The depths.”

Lily was obviously anxious. Although the information provided by Orchewell was very little, it was very important. It was obvious that the leader of the dragon diplomatic mission, Tricia, had been bewitched by the mysterious energy and lost his mind. He even attacked his companions and used them as test subjects.

The fate of the other dragons could be imagined.

But most importantly, Tricia, who was obsessed with leveling up, was currently exploring the vast and mysterious underground world. Its progress far exceeded Kant’s. Perhaps it had already reached its destination, the River of Origin that Occhiwill had mentioned.

Although he did not know what kind of upgrade Tris wanted, according to the rules of various games, novels, and movies, this dragon would most likely mutate into a final boss with a hideous shape, distorted, and waving tentacles. From time to time, it would bleed out a lot of disgusting juice. At some point, a deformed giant face and dancing tentacles had become the standard of this type of boss.

He had to catch up to him as soon as possible, find him, and stop him.

Although Orcherwill didn’t provide the exact location of the River of Origin and the depths, the clues still existed. At the very least, they could follow the path that the mad dragon had taken and chase after it.

This was the only way.

If the dragon really completed his so-called upgrade, what it would do next would definitely not be a good thing, although he did not know. This place was Goethe, and Goethe would definitely be affected.

He struck first.

The path ahead was even more bizarre. A deeper and vaster underground world gradually appeared before Kant. Deep valleys, stone pillars, long rivers, plains, cliffs. If not for the high stone walls at the top constantly reminding him that he was underground, Kant would have thought that he was on the surface.

They whizzed down from the cliff, shuttling between the towering stone pillars and the tall fungi. Fortunately, when Orcherwill had charged over, he had been crazy and had left behind enough road signs. Otherwise, it would have been a fool’s dream to find the other party’s origin in such a complicated terrain.

But even so, finding the path and determining the direction also consumed a lot of time.

Horus ‘sensors showed that they were still getting deeper.

The entrance to the underground world was more than 1,800 meters away from the surface. How deep was the underground world? It seemed endless and unfathomable.

As they went down, the light of the glowing plants and glowing objects became more and more dazzling, from gentle to dazzling, gorgeous, and eye-catching. The surrounding environment became deeper and deeper.

In the darkness, there was only a dazzling light shining. The claustrophobic environment was annoying. Horus ‘illumination could only illuminate a certain area. Any further would be shrouded in darkness. In the darkness, there were red, blue, and yellow lights shining, illuminating a small area around them. They outlined the blurry shapes of things on the outside, like the claws and teeth of beasts, waving and galloping.

This was really a godforsaken place.

The watch showed the time. It had been twelve hours since they entered the sealed cave.

It was already close to noon the next day.

The three of them set up a temporary camp on a stone peak. Although it was called a camp, it was just a few chairs, food, drinks, and electrical equipment that they had brought from the White Fog World. They prepared some hot food, rested, ate, and drank to relax their spirits and wash away their fatigue.

Kant took some time to return to the surface. He first met Stella and called Hong San over to report the progress of the exploration and the problems. He then returned to Lucerne and told Tina and the Grand Duke about the above. He then ran to the Phoenix King’s tent and teleported directly.

He left a spatial beacon there.

It was aggressive, and it was ready to settle scores with the parrot. Ah Xing’s mood was rather low, and he couldn’t muster up any energy. It was obvious that he had something on his mind. This was the first time he had seen Ah Xing like this.

Kant had already made up his mind to pry some inside information out of this scoundrel’s mouth. However, the tent was empty. The bedroom was still like a mass grave. Trash was strewn all over the floor, and his laptop was thrown on the bed. The NS was gone, but the charging station was still there.

He touched the bedding on the bed. It was cold to the touch, but he could vaguely smell the fragrance of flesh that made one blush and their heart beat faster.

Where did this fellow run off to?

Kant frowned. He wanted to wait for the bird to return, but he was afraid that Lily and the gorilla would be worried. He thought about it and took out a pen and paper to leave a message for the parrot.

He was illiterate in the common language of the continent.

He wrote in Chinese, afraid that someone would pick it up and leak the news. After all, Chinese characters were very similar to the Chinese language of the Aurora Empire. Anyway, for Kant, who was born with a plug-in that could convert between complex and simple languages, reading the language of the Aurora Empire was not a problem.

There was only one choice left.

Pinyin.

Back then, Kant had been bored out of his mind to teach the parrot how to breathe. He had even used Pinyin to correct the parrot’s pronunciation and intonation. After all, the soul of many civilized languages was intonation.

In the entire Otherworld, only he and the parrot knew about this.

He talked about the underground world, about the erosion and decay of the giant dragons, about the upgrade that Tris longed for, about the long river of origin deep underground, and about Ah Xing’s strangeness.

Kant folded the paper filled with Pinyin and stuffed it into the compartment of his laptop. He shook his head. He did not expect to be able to return to his first year of primary school and use Pinyin to write an essay.

He looked around and sighed. Black light flashed and he returned to the dark underground world.

Everything he saw was pitch black.

Underneath his feet was the hard peak of the stone peak. It was indeed the spatial anchor point that he had left behind earlier. However, the surroundings were silent and dark. There seemed to be a flash of light in the distance, and everything could not be seen clearly.

In front of him, he took out the oven, a few boxes of food and beverages, a generator, a lamp, a sofa chair, and even Ah Xing and Lily who were sitting on the chair, sweeping away the clouds, and Horus who stayed here to be safe when he teleported back… Everything was gone.

Kant’s heart sank, and his hair stood on end.

He looked around. He was alone in the pitch-black underground world. There was no light nearby. He could vaguely see the outline of the stone pillar forest around him, which was distorted like a beast. He could vaguely hear the footsteps of some large creature walking below. The deep breathing, the murmuring of the river, the dark valley, and the cries from time to time.

What was going on?

Where were they?

Kant took a deep breath.

The cold air traveled from his nose to his lungs.

It was as if he had returned to the days when he had just transmigrated. He was in a completely unfamiliar environment, far away from civilization, facing all the unknown and fear. That feeling was forever engraved in his heart.

Kant’s palms were sweating.

Instinctively, he activated his spatial ability and prepared to return to the world he was familiar with.

He did not have any weapons or supplies on him. Even if he wanted to figure out what had happened, he needed to arm himself first…Just like before.

But there was no reaction.

The white fog world did not respond, as if it had disappeared.

The ability that he had used thousands of times to instinctively open the door had failed.

The connection between time and space was dead silent.

F * ck!

A chill instantly swept through his heart, and panic really emerged in his heart. It was even worse than when he was on the island. Although the Fire Stealer’s magical power was still there, and he could still use the Phoenix Vision, the power of time, and even the special ability he had extracted, the real fear was not facing an unknown environment, but not having a way back.

Just like before.

In the midst of loneliness and fear, he was the first companion who appeared by his side and whom he could rely on.

” Ah Xing!” Kant shouted subconsciously.” Ah Xing!”

“.. Kant?”

“What’s wrong?”

The next moment, he saw the bright lights, the grill, the sofa, and the smell of meat. Ah Xing and Lily stood in front of him, their beautiful faces reflected by the lights showing worry and surprise.

Kant looked around blankly.” I…” he said bitterly.

Then, perhaps in the blink of an eye, or perhaps in an even smaller time scale, the world changed again. The person in front of him disappeared, and the light around him dissipated. It was that deathly cold darkness again. There was light in the distance, and beasts passed by below. The white fog world did not respond. It was the same environment, but a completely different world.

It was as if time had flashed back to many years ago.
