The Dragon King is weak and helpless but can eat [Interstellar]
Chapter 127 The eve of the decisive battle
Huge mechanical birds spread their wings and skimmed over the edge of the city, and beside them, a team of aircraft followed closely.
The mechanical bird comes with an instrument invented by the dwarves, which continuously emits high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to human ears, which is particularly harsh to some strange beasts.Those nocturnal ghosts on the edge of the city heard it and fled to the other hemisphere.
Yang Zhiming stood on the platform above the mechanical bird's head, looked into the distance, and couldn't help coughing a few times.The light rain fell on his yellow raincoat, making a tick-tock sound, and the cold air of the night hit.Beside him, countless ancient dials are running at high speed, and the gears are fastened and rotated.
"What's the matter?" Lu Shanhuai asked in the tactical channel.
"No." Yang Zhiming replied, subconsciously wrapped his clothes a little tighter, white gas came out of his mouth when he spoke, "I didn't see anything, and I didn't see any traces of thunderstorms. But they don't have many places to hide... Wait, what is that?!"
Alien beasts were detected on the radar, to be precise, a large group!
Nothing can be seen in the field of vision, but the number of strange beasts is very large, and the mental power is also very strange, so it is impossible to judge the type of strange beasts.
For a moment, all the hunters on the aircraft were vigilant and ready to face the battle.
Soon at the end of the wilderness, there appeared... colored lights?
Like the rest of Mestan's wilderness, there are piles of discarded electronic equipment, ranging from servers to giant robots, usually kept tightly guarded within them.It stands to reason that these things that have no energy at all can no longer emit any light.
But the fact is that these machines are slowly coming to life.
On this cold rainy night, the sea of lights gathered together.
From the monitoring screen, Yang Zhiming saw the true colors of those strange beasts.
They are white, fluffy dumplings, like glutinous rice dumplings.There is a huge ball surrounded by countless small balls. You can't see your eyes, you can only see a cable chewing with relish in the huge cracked mouth.
It was the strange beast that Shen Chaomu saw in the other hemisphere before.
It's just that they are now coming out in full force, and for some reason they have come to the edge of the main city.As long as it advances another five kilometers, Mestan's automatic defense system will be automatically triggered.
Lu Shanhuai asked: "Can you be sure if they are hostile?"
"I don't know," Yang Zhiming wiped the rain from his face, "but they seem to have stopped moving forward."
The white dumplings stopped in the remote wasteland, only the colorful lights around them were still flickering.
Then the little tuanzi jumped up and down, and with the help of the big tuanzi, they slowly erected a huge abandoned screen.
The screen flickered with blue and white light, and after a moment of confusion, the picture became clear, and two male villains appeared.
Like the pixel art style of the old era, they were surrounded by small groups of the same style, driving all the way through the ruins, towards the edge of the ruins.Soon they stopped the car and walked down the long stairs to the bottom of the city.
——It was the experience of Long Shiyu and Shen Chaomu that day that other hunters did not know.
Following in the footsteps of Tuanzi, they saw a commercial street that had been abandoned for nearly a hundred years. There were shredded paper and dead robots on the ground, and a series of small colored lights around the pillars were constantly flashing. Lights lit up along the road.It's like coming to the end of a barren world and witnessing the relics left by one's own civilization.
On the animation of the pixel art style, a bigger dumpling soon appeared, lying on the ground in a big lump.
It is because the old dragon king was injured by the glutinous rice cake king.
The male villain stretched out his hand and handed over what looked like Nuomiwang Medical Spray.
A "(*^^*)" expression appeared on Nuomi King's face.
Its wounds healed quickly, and it was even happier to bite the wire.
"What does this mean?" Yang Zhiming was completely dumbfounded, "So, someone once gave medical resources to that big group?"
"It seems so." Lu Shanhuai was also a little confused.
The pixel animation on the screen ended, followed by a huge white arrow pointing in a certain direction of the wasteland.
Yang Zhiming said again: "Is this showing us the way?"
"Combined with the previous animation," Lu Shanhuai replied, "it may be that they want to repay their favor. They have lived in the wasteland and ruins for so long, and they must know more than us. I just don't know where the arrow is pointing. Could it be something else? Conspiracy. Or... do they know what we're looking for?"
After an urgent discussion, the commanders prepared to be on the safe side, and sent a patrol team to follow the arrow while keeping a distance.Of course it would be best if the dumplings were really friendly, and if they harbored malice, they would be able to deal with it in time.
……
Bai Yiyi commanded the hunters at the scene, and the white deer beside her, condensed by spiritual power, shone faintly with fluorescence.The rain fell on its body, splashing water-like traces, swaying in circles and disappearing invisible.
When the last group of hunters left, the place was empty.The Skytrain rumbled as it passed over the city.
She turned her head and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, why are you here when you are free?"
Shen Chaomu was wearing a long black windbreaker, and handed out a bag in his hand: "Someone asked me to bring you something."
Bai Yiyi was a little surprised, took it and opened it.
Inside the bag were a dozen woven scrunchies adorned with brightly colored leaves that flapped like butterfly wings when tied on the head.
This scrunchie was too familiar, she froze for a moment, then raised her head suddenly: "He, is he still alive?"
"No, it's just a coincidence that we met again." Shen Chaomu said, "Unsurprisingly, we won't see him in the future." He paused, "Although I don't know what happened to you, but I am very happy." Pity."
When he left, he could still see the woman leaning against the silver-gray aircraft in the sea of lights in the city, distracted while clutching the bag.
A few seconds later, she lifted off the raincoat hood, let the light raindrops fall on her silver-white hair, and wrapped her long hair into a leaf tie.The red leaves are wet and become translucent, revealing the lights of the distant city.
The butterfly spreads its wings and wants to fly.
Shen Chaomu returned to the hotel, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Long Shiyu sitting at the table.
He held half a can in his hand.
As for why it was half, it was because its shell disappeared strangely, as if it had been directly bitten into pieces.
Shen Chaomu: "...what's the matter with this can."
Long Shiyu said, "It's delicious." He swallowed the remaining half of the can in one gulp.
Then he was pulled by the dragon horns by the princess and shook violently: "Ah, stop shaking me! The "Food Safety" you gave me didn't say that you can't eat canned food!"
Shen Chaomu sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows: "Stop eating weird things."
"Anyway, nothing will happen."
The rain became heavier at night, so Long Shiyu closed the window and built another nest for the princess.Lights out, they huddle together on the bed.
Long Shiyu got a goodnight kiss and was satisfied: "Do I still have a bedtime story?"
"No more, I really can't make it up."
"Huh."
"Nothing."
"Is it the kind that doesn't have a drop?"
Shen Chaomu was shocked, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately: "Who told you such a thing?!!"
Long Shiyu thought for a while: "I was bored today, so I took a look at the terminal. That website is very strange. Advertisements often pop up, and the fonts are very large."
Shen Chaomu: "...Is it that ad, the closed icon is in the corner, very inconspicuous, and a new ad will pop up if you accidentally click on it."
"Yes, yes, yes." Long Shiyu was very happy, and nodded again and again, "So you know this too."
Shen Chaomu said, "Bring over your terminal."
Long Shiyu unlocked the terminal and handed it to the princess.Shen Chaomu swiped it a few times before returning it to him.
Long Shiyu asked: "What are you doing?"
"Set your terminal to children's mode." Shen Chaomu said, "You must never watch messy things in the future."
"Huh."
"You are useless." The princess rejected him coldly.
Shen Chaomu lay in the dark for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
If he wants to get out of the cold palace, shouldn't he stop Long Shiyu from watching this?
——He quickly denied this idea, and the health education of young dragons must not be left behind.
Long Shiyu didn't get the bedtime story, and inexplicably lost the freedom to browse strange websites, completely unaware of what happened.
After a while, he said again: "Some beasts have already noticed that the throne has disappeared."
"How will they react?" Shen Chaomu asked.
"I don't know, maybe I will be very angry. After all, I am born to chase the throne and gain power. But from your point of view, it will be much better, because if you don't compete for the throne, the beasts don't have to crave for strength. Many unnecessary Attacks aimed at increasing one's own strength will be reduced."
"Yeah. As long as you get off the throne."
"So," Long Shiyu turned over and asked, "What exactly is your wish to the throne?"
Just as Shen Chaomu was about to speak, a piercing siren sounded from the terminal!
It was sent by Yang Zhiming's patrol team.Following Bai Tuanzi's instructions, they found a certain place in the suburbs.There are traces left by dragons just now.
It was the claw marks left within half an hour, and the water stains on the ground still had a little bit of electric light.
……
The thunderstorm came again.The water in the narrow house was boiled, gurgling.
Augusta was still making rose tea, and the rose petals swirled in the boiling water, releasing a faint fragrance soon.
But drinking tea this time was not as calm as before. He subconsciously touched his chest with his hand, and confirmed that the ruby necklace presented by the girl was still there, so he felt a little relieved.At his feet, there is a simply packed backpack, which contains compressed food, spare terminals, various equipment and firearms.
He was about to leave this place, away from Shen Zhai's side.
He knew that the man had become a lunatic, and under the current situation, no rational mercenary would choose to continue fighting for him.
Three days ago, the power in Shen Zhai's shadow disappeared inexplicably.
Those devoured beasts disappeared.
Originally, Shen Zhai's mental power was also attached to Augusta's shadow, which could save his life at a critical moment, and it was also an eternal sword on his head.As long as Shen Zhai thought about it, he could easily kill him, if it was in his sleep, he would not have the slightest chance to resist.
He has grasped too many secrets of Shen Zhai, that person will never let him leave easily.
To this day, his seriously ill mother is still being treated in the hospital in Xingdu—of course, he did not use his money directly, but Shen Zhai used some means to borrow the money from the account of the "Public Welfare Foundation" to legally The appearance package turned over again and again.
This was a lifeline for Augusta a few years ago.
This also made Augusta hesitate, whether he should plan to leave Shen Zhai or not.After all, his mother was not in good health, and Shen Zhai had already mastered all the information.
Until two days ago, he had a video with his mother through an encrypted channel.
She was already very old, with all kinds of tubes inserted into her body that Augusta didn't understand, and her medication records were placed by the bedside, densely packed.
The original condition has improved, but after all, she is old, and now there is still time to chase her.
Mother didn't know his occupation. Due to several years of poor health, she didn't have enough energy to read the news and saw Augusta's famous arrest warrant.The police couldn't bear to tell the old man the truth. Every time they inquired about Augusta's whereabouts, they always beat around the bush.
This made Augusta feel extremely fortunate, he was extremely lucky.
So in her opinion, Augusta is still an outstanding figure from the Dragon Hunter family, just as good as his father—even in the Dragon Hunter family now, only the Shen family still has the prestige and power of the past, and she will not change her. There is a deep love for this family.
In the video, the gray-haired old man said: "Augusta, have you been unhappy recently?"
Augusta was stunned: "Why do you ask that?"
"I can just feel it," she said when she laughed, the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, "I've been vaguely feeling this way for the past few years."
"Yes...it's a little bit, some things are not easy to deal with. But I will solve it."
"Of course you have this ability, but I just hope that you can be happy and talk to your mother about everything... But when will you come back here, I haven't seen you for many years."
"It will be soon."
"That's what you always say." She turned her head and coughed a few times, "I want to see you."
"Recently, the strange beast riots have been severe, and I still have a lot of things to do." Augusta felt a pain in his heart, and promised again, "But soon, I will definitely come back as soon as I have a chance."
They chatted for a while longer.
Mother was in a rare state of mind that day, and Augusta chatted with her for more than half an hour before she felt sleepy.
Finally she said: "If you really can't make it back, don't worry. No matter what, I hope you have a good time and can do whatever you want. I remember that you were always the bravest one among the children when I was young. What? Willing to try things and come back and tell me 'Mom, you see I can do anything!'”
She laughed, and was soon wrapped up in the heavy pajamas again.
Augusta hung up the call.
He sat in the room for a while, and then decided that it was time to leave Shen Zhai.
It didn't take much time to pack his luggage and equipment. He wanted to escape to a city next to the main city, where there was a certain security system, and his identity wouldn't be checked too closely, and he wouldn't be as unobstructed as the wilderness.
Shen Zhai's loss of the ability of strange beasts was undoubtedly the most stressful time.
No matter what happens in the future, now is his best chance.It would be even more perfect if he could wait until everything was over, get on the ship to the star capital, and return to the hospital to see his mother.
So on this rainy night, he made rose tea once, and the packed luggage was at his feet.None of the mercenaries knew about this, and everything was done silently.
Finally, the lightly fragrant tea was swallowed, he stood up and equipped the exoskeleton, put on the backpack and prepared to go out.
Another thunderclap.
It was pitch black outside the house, and the lightning fell like a dancing poisonous snake, smashing the sky into pieces.
Something terrible crawled up his spine.
— This intuition is correct.
The pale lightning outside the house illuminated the man's face.He was wearing a suit and holding a black umbrella, with a bright red rose pinned to his chest.
"Good evening." He smiled.
At this moment, Augusta only felt cold hands and feet.
When did Shen Zhai come?How long have you been standing outside?
Did you silently watch his every move with a pair of cold eyes from the window?
The instinct from a warrior allowed him to react quickly even in fear.Even without the ability of a strange beast, he was no match for Shen Zhai, and his mental power immediately attached to his whole body.
As long as you go to the aircraft, you will be alive! !
But behind him, a tsunami of corrosive mental power pressed up like an avalanche.That's a terrifying power. With extraordinary talent and a hundred years of accumulation, it's really hard to match.
As if in slow motion, Augusta felt the decaying corrosion approaching rapidly.
Wherever it passes, even the air is withering, as long as it is entangled, it is doomed to death.
His spiritual power was burnt and quickly disappeared, no matter how much he resisted, it would be of no avail.The rose on Shen Zhai's chest also withered, turning dark gray from the edges of the petals, annihilated into ashes, and fell to the ground by the raindrops.Nothing is left.
That's too late.
The aircraft is not far away. The black shell has smooth lines, which can cut through the sky powerfully, but it is too late.
When he was still two or three meters away from the aircraft, his mental strength was completely unable to keep up, and he could no longer protect his body.Death is like a shadow on this rainy night, with a cold and piercing breath, whispering in his ear: "This is the end..."
There was a burning sensation from his back, and soon blood would gush out from under the skin, his fur and flesh would be corroded, and then completely rotted in a corner of the earth, no different from mud and dust.
The last thing Augusta thinks of is her mother's old face and wrinkles when she smiles. In the depths of her memory, the boiling water is gurgling in the pot, and the girl's hair is like sunshine.
Unlike when he was a child, he knew that he was not omnipotent.
The pain became more intense, and the heavy mental pressure on his body made him lose the ability to resist.
Shen Zhai smiled.
The mental power gathered into a sharp dagger, quietly aiming at Augusta's back.A few seconds later, the dagger pierced out with a sharp scream——
But the blood didn't splatter.
The crisp cracking sound resounded through the rainy night, with a pleasant and shallow echo.
The whole body lightened, and the pain was wiped away by the coolness of the waves.Gentle mental power enveloped his whole body, the ruby necklace on his chest was instantly shattered, and the pieces in the wind shone brightly.
The clear voice of a girl in the cold rain came."Come on, Mr. Augusta," she said.
The mechanical bird comes with an instrument invented by the dwarves, which continuously emits high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to human ears, which is particularly harsh to some strange beasts.Those nocturnal ghosts on the edge of the city heard it and fled to the other hemisphere.
Yang Zhiming stood on the platform above the mechanical bird's head, looked into the distance, and couldn't help coughing a few times.The light rain fell on his yellow raincoat, making a tick-tock sound, and the cold air of the night hit.Beside him, countless ancient dials are running at high speed, and the gears are fastened and rotated.
"What's the matter?" Lu Shanhuai asked in the tactical channel.
"No." Yang Zhiming replied, subconsciously wrapped his clothes a little tighter, white gas came out of his mouth when he spoke, "I didn't see anything, and I didn't see any traces of thunderstorms. But they don't have many places to hide... Wait, what is that?!"
Alien beasts were detected on the radar, to be precise, a large group!
Nothing can be seen in the field of vision, but the number of strange beasts is very large, and the mental power is also very strange, so it is impossible to judge the type of strange beasts.
For a moment, all the hunters on the aircraft were vigilant and ready to face the battle.

They are white, fluffy dumplings, like glutinous rice dumplings.There is a huge ball surrounded by countless small balls. You can't see your eyes, you can only see a cable chewing with relish in the huge cracked mouth.
It was the strange beast that Shen Chaomu saw in the other hemisphere before.
It's just that they are now coming out in full force, and for some reason they have come to the edge of the main city.As long as it advances another five kilometers, Mestan's automatic defense system will be automatically triggered.

It is because the old dragon king was injured by the glutinous rice cake king.
The male villain stretched out his hand and handed over what looked like Nuomiwang Medical Spray.
A "(*^^*)" expression appeared on Nuomi King's face.
Its wounds healed quickly, and it was even happier to bite the wire.

When did Shen Zhai come?How long have you been standing outside?
Did you silently watch his every move with a pair of cold eyes from the window?
The instinct from a warrior allowed him to react quickly even in fear.Even without the ability of a strange beast, he was no match for Shen Zhai, and his mental power immediately attached to his whole body.
As long as you go to the aircraft, you will be alive! !
But behind him, a tsunami of corrosive mental power pressed up like an avalanche.That's a terrifying power. With extraordinary talent and a hundred years of accumulation, it's really hard to match.
As if in slow motion, Augusta felt the decaying corrosion approaching rapidly.
Wherever it passes, even the air is withering, as long as it is entangled, it is doomed to death.
His spiritual power was burnt and quickly disappeared, no matter how much he resisted, it would be of no avail.The rose on Shen Zhai's chest also withered, turning dark gray from the edges of the petals, annihilated into ashes, and fell to the ground by the raindrops.Nothing is left.
That's too late.
The aircraft is not far away. The black shell has smooth lines, which can cut through the sky powerfully, but it is too late.
When he was still two or three meters away from the aircraft, his mental strength was completely unable to keep up, and he could no longer protect his body.Death is like a shadow on this rainy night, with a cold and piercing breath, whispering in his ear: "This is the end..."
There was a burning sensation from his back, and soon blood would gush out from under the skin, his fur and flesh would be corroded, and then completely rotted in a corner of the earth, no different from mud and dust.
The last thing Augusta thinks of is her mother's old face and wrinkles when she smiles. In the depths of her memory, the boiling water is gurgling in the pot, and the girl's hair is like sunshine.
Unlike when he was a child, he knew that he was not omnipotent.
The pain became more intense, and the heavy mental pressure on his body made him lose the ability to resist.
Shen Zhai smiled.
The mental power gathered into a sharp dagger, quietly aiming at Augusta's back.A few seconds later, the dagger pierced out with a sharp scream——
But the blood didn't splatter.
The crisp cracking sound resounded through the rainy night, with a pleasant and shallow echo.
The whole body lightened, and the pain was wiped away by the coolness of the waves.Gentle mental power enveloped his whole body, the ruby necklace on his chest was instantly shattered, and the pieces in the wind shone brightly.
The clear voice of a girl in the cold rain came."Come on, Mr. Augusta," she said.
