Ecuaral Galaxy.

A place for the production of artificial flora and fauna.

There are apples with flesh growing out of the skin, bananas as crisp as potato chips, pomegranates that produce juice with a gentle pressure of your hands, and many other animals, plants, semi-animals, and plants that have been artificially improved.

In a place like this, which is so biodiverse that it explodes, it makes sense that there is suddenly a talking metal dragonman.

On the most remote agricultural resource planet in the Ecuaral Galaxy, in a cold storage more than 200 meters underground, the dragonman of the Metal Protogensaurus broke through the refrigerated tank and fell to the frost-covered floor in embarrassment.

"Damn... The should... Damn..."

The dragonman's body was weak, but the hatred on its lips did not diminish at all.

It clenched its fists and pounded the ground weakly, struggling to its feet to vent its anger.

"Damn! Ahem, ahem..."

The roar that popped out of his throat ripped at the wound in his body, and the dragonman coughed in pain, hunched over the ground, and turned into a small shrimp.

"Whew, whoa..."

The dragonman gasped, clung to the cold refrigerated tank shell, and stood to his feet.

Its shattered iron wings were covered with hideous notches, like strips of cloth that had been punctured with scissors, dragging weakly behind its back.

The dragonman leaned on the tank, twisted his stiff neck, looked around, and saw that it was similar to what he expected, and he temporarily relaxed.

This place was one of its pre-designed emergency teleportation destinations, and was the closest safe place to the blast site.

The Metal Ancestral Dragon has an extraordinary ability to save lives, which is simply called "Metal Stand-in Exchange", and its full name is "Omildo's Metal Stand-in Life-Saving Technique".

In the midst of a crisis, the dragonman unleashed this extraordinary ability.

It swapped its bearings with the metal double in a safe area, using the metal double to help block the explosion, and it teleported itself to the safe area where the metal double was originally located, the cold storage hidden underground.

The consumption of this extraordinary ability is very, very large.

Swapping oneself with the metal double is tantamount to teleporting twice at the same time.

Two teleportations, double the energy consumption.

The kind of physical burden that comes twice in a short period of time is needless to say to know how big it must be.

In addition, the mental impact of the metal double on the dragonman after its death cannot be ignored.

The dragonman rested against the tank for a full ten minutes before he completely broke free from the intense dizziness and trance.

After another three minutes of rest, it regained some of its mobility and began to clear its mind.

Recalling the big explosion he had just experienced, a doubt could not help but arise in the dragon's heart:

Where did that bomb come from?

Heavy transports are made of metal.

In the eyes of the dragonmen, this metal artifact is not so much a "spaceship" as a hollowed-out metal object carved into the interior of a metal sphere.

Something like this, the dragonman can pat his chest and proudly say that he has definitely explored every aspect of it, inside and out.

But in this case, the dragonman was attacked by a bomb hidden in the ship.

It was a baffling figure.

After thinking about it, the dragonman could only come up with a vague answer.

It is possible that the energy fluctuations caused by the jump affect its ability to sense the ship, causing it to ignore the presence of the bomb.

The dragonmen really couldn't think of anything other than this explanation.

"No, you can't spend it here. I need to hurry up and finish my master's task..."

The dragon man strained his waist and stood up straight.

The surface of its body is densely covered with small metal spikes.

The spikes rise and fall like waves, forming wave after wave.

At the same time, the appearance of the dragonman changes drastically like a chameleon.

In less than three seconds, the dragon man who was originally dragging his broken wings turned into a cold storage worker wearing a mask and a full set of white chemical protective suits.

A small piece of metal skin was torn off the wall and transformed into metal objects such as passes, certificates, and mechanical keys in his hands.

When he touched the metal skin of the wall with his hand, the potholes in the wall grew as quickly as flesh and blood, and soon turned back to a smooth metal plane.

The dragonman disguised as a human lowered his head to inspect it carefully, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he opened the door of the cold storage and walked outside.

Wander through the narrow metal corridors as backup plans come to the dragonman's mind.

Its owner, the Metal Ancestral Dragon itself, gave it an important task of plundering the spiritual structure.

The more psionic constructs you have, the more rewards you get.

The better the quality of the spiritual structure in hand, the favor and trust of the owner will be doubled.

In order to accomplish this task, the dragonmen spent a lot of time searching for the whereabouts of the spirit constructs.

The core of the "Command" plane, as well as the other two cores located in the "Desolate" plane, possess the ability to create spiritual constructs.

The wilderness is too far away, and the "Order" is active in the alien sky.

Naturally, the dragonmen put their ideas on the head of the "Command".

To be precise, it was targeting the self-proclaimed "players" of the Command's men.

After a series of plotting, lurking, and conspiracy, the dragonmen finally found the perfect opportunity.

It thought that it could take advantage of the so-called "player collective disconnection" incident to snatch a large number of spiritual constructs from the Angel Enterprise Consortium.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be empty, and in the end it got nothing but serious injuries.

Fortunately, it is a dragon man who likes to prepare multiple sets of plans.

If Plan A fails, then Plan B is executed.

Now, here, on this resource planet, there are quite a few spiritual structures that have long been on the plunder list.

The dragonmen plan to control them, gather them together, and then arrange the ritual of the master's explanation, and send all the loot to the master.

The reason why Plan B is Plan B and not Plan A is naturally because it has unavoidable shortcomings.

The planet at your feet is a resource planet and there is no war.

The spiritual constructs that live and work here tend to use their brains rather than fight.

In other words, their "spiritual" and "perceptual" attributes will be stronger, while their "strength" and "physique" will be weaker.

The dragon clan has always needed both physical fitness and intelligence.

But they always believe that only when the body is cultivated strong enough will there be more living space to cultivate intelligence.

Therefore, spiritual constructs like this, which are not strong enough in body but are intelligent enough, are not as good as those with simple heads and well-developed bodies.

Plan B is inferior to Plan A.

Taking the capsule elevator, from the underground cold storage to the towering ecological tower, the dragon man blends in with the crowd of people coming and going, and becomes an inconspicuous cold storage attendant.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that surround the entire floor, the sea of clouds is vast and the sky is clear.

The drone responsible for fertilization and watering takes off from the ecological tower, goes down through the clouds, and goes to the ground to water the artificially cultivated flowers and plants.

In a busy and well-organized scene, the dragonmen are well camouflaged.

But in its heart, there is always a looming uneasiness and urgency.

"Is there something chasing you?"

The dragon man stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and observed the starry sky overhead with the movement of looking at the sea of clouds.

As far as the eye could see, it found nothing unusual except for the deep silence of the blue sky and the pale golden sun.

Perhaps the impact of the previous explosion was so strong that it still had lingering in its heart thousands of light-years away from the site of the explosion.

The dragonman steadied himself, withdrew his gaze, and hurried to confirm the target of Plan B's plunder.

After it left the vicinity of the floor-to-ceiling window, the invisible light and shadow distorted and flashed outside the window.

This is the snowwing cat that has been protected by the "Veil of Otherworld".

Li Nuo opened the "Magic Pipe Network" and found the one that belonged to the dragon man from the many energy threads disrupted by the explosion.

Following this silk line, the snowwing cat jumped continuously, locked on the resource planet located in the Ecuaral system, and then found the dragonman in the crowd.

Leno saw all of this with his magical vision.

He couldn't do it at this time, because there were too many ordinary people near the dragonmen.

Moreover, this resource system is an asset to the Unis.

If Li Nuo fights the dragonmen here and destroys the facilities on the resource planet, then he will have to give an explanation to the Unification Bureau.

In order to minimize unnecessary trouble, Li Nuo decided to wait a little longer.

At least he won't be able to take action until the dragonman leaves the Eco Tower.

"Cat, you follow it and see what it is going to do."

"Meow~"

Li Nuo gave an order, and immediately began to prepare new magic items.

In the passive deconstruction, he found the part related to the dragonman, and learned about the extraordinary ability of "metal double exchange".

With the goal of preventing the dragonmen from escaping again, Leno must now craft a magic item that can block teleportation.

Based on the passive deconstruction of the Jump Disruption Field Generator, Heart of Magic provides new spell blueprints and sculption schemes.

A magical thing called "Anti-Teleportation Enchantment" became Li Nuo's first choice.

He held the rune stick in his hand, and separated the runes in the air.

At a glance, the scene of the dragonman finding the player was captured by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo frowned slightly, and couldn't help muttering:

"Why did this guy go to the player again? Does it have some special fetish?,Always staring at the player.。 ”

Without thinking, Li Nuo opened the game interface and told the "order" of the situation.

In fact, the "Order" has been searching for the whereabouts of the dragonmen.

Almost as soon as Li Nuo found out that the dragonman was in contact with the player, "Command" used his extraordinary ability to see the situation at the scene.

It eavesdrops on the dragon's communication with the player through the player's first-hand perspective.

At this time, seeing that Li Nuo also noticed the same thing, the "Order" wrote on the game interface:

"Judging from the conversations between this metal progenitor dragon clone and the player, it is inquiring about the whereabouts of more than a dozen players, and it seems that it wants to know their specific movements. The players it asks about are not in this ecological tower. Otherwise, it would have been able to easily lock on to the whereabouts of its target just by virtue of its ability to sense the metal tower. ”

Li Nuo drew the last stroke of the magic enchantment, typed and asked:

"I'm ready here. Is there any way you can steer it where no one is around? I can use the magical barrier to trap it and obliterate it at any time. ”

"I'll try.."

After the approval of the "Order" plane issued a word, the player who was talking to the dragonman made a sudden realization, pretending that he had just remembered something, and provided the dragonman with several points to the location outside the tower.

Li Nuo saw that it should be the "Order" who personally took over the control of the player and answered the dragonman's questions on his behalf.

This step is critical and must be done.

Because it is too late to issue tasks to players on the spot, it is too late to guide players to say the words that are ready for the "order".

Only when the "Command" personally controls the player to answer the dragonman's questions can it be truly foolproof.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the dragonman didn't think there was anything wrong with the player's reply.

It offers to let the player follow him along in search of the other players outside the tower, and promises some rewards.

This triggers the game's built-in quest function, and the player immediately receives a small quest from the NPC in front of him.

Instead of immediately controlling the player to take over the task, the core of the "Command" plane said to Li Nuo:

"In order to stabilize the clone of the metal progenitor dragon, I will let this player take over the mission. I'll manipulate him to follow the dragonman until you get it under control. Don't worry about hurting this player, I'll do my job of compensating. ”

Li Nuo nodded and typed to show understanding.

In the magical vision, after a short period of thought, the player takes on the mission and follows the dragonman out of the tower in a manned drone.

As soon as the drone burrowed into the clouds, the "Command" typed on the game interface:

"It's now! Do it! ”

Without hesitation, Li Nuo waved his hand and swept the magic rune in front of him, pinched it with his hand, and then slapped it towards his chest.

The figure of the snow-winged cat appeared beside Li Nuo, grabbed Li Nuo's collar, and escaped into the jump passage with the other party.

In an instant, Li Nuo, the clone left in the dean's office, appeared outside the manned drone.

Li Nuo flicked his right hand forward and threw out the bright runes in his palm.

Thousands of runes were scattered in the air, weaving into a huge magical network that enveloped the drone entirely.

The runes activated, the enchantment took shape, and a dazzling blue light lit up.

Li Nuo urged the enchantment with all his might, and at the same time, his left hand was raised high, palm upward, and he quickly condensed the terrifying magic bomb.

At this moment, although the abnormal energy fluctuations in the air were covered by the "Veil of Separation", they were still inevitably sensed by the dragonmen who were close at hand.

Before the dragonman could react, the magic bomb slammed into the drone, followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

"Boom ————"

The sea of clouds was shaken open by the shock wave, and a huge circular void suddenly appeared, as if a skylight had been opened in the vast clouds.

The wind blew in all directions, the clouds rolled upside down, and in the center of the hollow was a large fireball blazing.

The player next to the dragon man was engulfed in flames along with the drone on the spot.

The dragonman relied on his steel body and held it up for a little longer.

In the midst of the flames, it tried to activate its life-saving abilities, but found it to no avail.

As a last resort, it can only ask for help from its owner, who does not know where it is.

The coercion from the True Ancestral Dragon was permeated in the flames, and Li Nuo immediately caught this ominous aura.

After throwing another deadly magic bomb, Li Nuo hugged the cat and used the latter's jumping ability to quickly evacuate.

0.1 seconds before Li Nuo's figure left this place, a voice containing anger sounded along with the crackling sound of the dragonman breaking and dying:

"I remember you! Despicable bugs! How dare you stop my plans! ”

"Boom~"

The dragonman was blown to pieces by a magic bomb, and he was unable to escape death under the protection of his master.

The coercion from the metal progenitor's body dissipated.

Li Nuo's figure also quickly faded away, teleporting away from this place.
