Chapter 23: True Initial Identity
Chi Yao took over the control core of the triangular pyramid, and activated it in reverse according to the way it was teleported, and the familiar spatial fluctuations appeared around Chi Yao.
In the next moment, Chi Yao had already returned to the depth of thousands of meters underground in the No. 6 ore vein, and in front of him was the large triangular pyramid and platform that had become the original one.
Chi Yao watched as the surrounding fiery red ants quickly dug into the depths and disappeared without a trace, obviously Tianliu had successfully given Chi Yao's order.
Ji Yao controls the core to sink the base and platform into the depths of the earth, and when everything is done, he will control the core to enter the storage space.
Thankfully, less than five minutes had passed, and it shouldn't have aroused Tonino Harvey's suspicions. ’
Ji Yao glanced at the time and immediately headed in the direction where Tonino Harvey and Johns were.
Along the way, Ji Yao saw craters caused by explosives, flying into the rock wall with only half-dissolved knives and countless dust that had been swept off by the sound waves.
It didn't take long for Ji Yao to find Tonino Harvey, who was leaning against the rock wall and gasping for breath.
Tonino Harvey saw Chi Yao rushing over, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Second brother, it seems that you have succeeded? Just now, those flaming ant colonies suddenly retreated, and they were still in a panic. ”
Ji Yao glanced around and found no trace of Johns and the others, he couldn't help frowning, and his tone was a little unkind.
"What about Johns? Ran away? ”
Tonino Harvey paused, a hint of bitterness on his face, and he spoke slowly.
"No, I took the initiative to separate from them, and Johns suggested that a distracted combination would better attract the attention of the fire ants, and I agreed."
Tonino Harvey straightened up and looked to the other side, his tone a little emotional.
"I don't know how they're doing now, but seeing that you solved it so quickly, they should be able to survive."
"Still, did you destroy that thing? Why did the fire ants suddenly retreat? ”
Ji Yao took out the words he had prepared and spoke.
"It seems like some kind of ancient ruin, and I've destroyed it based on my experience cracking traps on previous adventures."
Tonino Harvey was incredulous when he heard this.
"Traps? Does Ling mean that these flaming ants are also part of the trap? ”
Ji Yao grasped the essence of what he said, it was all true, but it was only partial.
"Yes, you think, aren't the current traps also biological traps? It's like a snake trap, a worm trap, right? ”
"My guess is that this is also an ancient mining site, and they have laid traps in the depths to prevent outsiders from going deeper."
Tonino Harvey thought about it for a while, and found that what Chi Yao said seemed to make sense, so he smiled helplessly.
"Okay, since it's settled, let's go see Johns and their situation, and go back directly."
Ji Yao nodded, agreeing with Tonino Harvey's idea of leaving as soon as possible.
So, the two of them simply cleaned up, rested for half an hour, and then quickly moved towards the surface, with the previous in-depth experience, the speed of the two returned several times faster.
It only took three hours for Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey to return to the entrance of Vein Six.
Tonino Harvey looked at the blue sky and white clouds and pure sunlight in the distance, and sighed with some emotion.
"Hey, the light of the Yuanyang ore in the underground is still quite different from the sunlight outside!"
Compared with Tonino Harvey, who looked relaxed, Chi Yao also made the same expression, but his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Because Ji Yao saw that all four members of Johns's team were seriously injured, but they were still alive and being carried away by a team of soldiers.
At the front of the neatly lined army outside the veins was the presence of Tonino Caro, the king of the Kingdom of Tyria.
Tonino Caro looked at Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey, who were covered in dust, and asked.
"How's the vein going?"
Tonino Harvey smiled, pointed to Chi Yao beside him, and threw the credit to Ji Yao.
"Father, of course it has been successfully solved! Thanks to Brother Gray Yao, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I'd have run back in disgrace. ”
Tonino Caro listened to Tonino Harvey's words and turned to Chi Yao with a calm face.
"Oh? It seems that you are doing well, very good, you can rest well, I will arrange the previous affairs as soon as possible. ”
At the moment when Tonino Caro spoke, the prompt of Paradise sounded.
[The Hunter has completed a minor special story event (Underground Mystery) and the reward has been sent to the mail.] 】
But in this situation, Ji Yao will not be distracted to check the situation of the reward.
So, Chi Yao bowed slightly and nodded in response.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Tonino Caro turned around and waved for the two to follow.
"Well, then let's go back to the palace first, Harvey, I've already arranged for someone to drive your Golden Flame back."
"Harvey, Grey, you can ride my Tyria airship with you."
Tonino Harvey was slightly stunned, looking a little surprised, and leaned over to Chi Yao's side and whispered.
"Looks like my father is so happy, he even took out the Tyria, which he rarely uses!"
Chi Yao understood the truth of saying too much, so he just nodded, and followed Tonino Harvey onto an airship that was even bigger and more luxurious than the "Golden Flame".
Tonino Kahlo led the two of them to the cabin on the top floor of the airship and sat down, and as soon as the three of them were seated, a servant immediately placed tea and meals for the three of them.
Tonino Caro picked up a round sun biscuit on the plate in front of him, took a bite, looked at Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey and said.
"Relax, it's time for a private break and try Chef Cisse's new Sun Biscuits."
When Tonino Harvey heard that it was the new sun biscuit developed by Chef Cisse, the king's royal chef, his eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a slice and put it in his mouth.
Between chewing, a happy smile appeared on Tonino Harvey's face, and he hurriedly ate a few more slices.
"It's delicious, the crispy texture and just the right amount of syrup are cleverly blended together!"
Chi Yao smiled and picked up a piece of sun biscuit and put it in his mouth, which actually formed a protective layer of water film in his mouth, and sent the biscuit into the storage space the moment his mouth closed.
Although the item information in the park does not state what harmful substances are in the sun biscuits, Ji Yao feels that he needs to be on guard.
Because when Tianliu told the situation of the Heavenly King's weapon, Chi Yao sensed that something was wrong.
And it wasn't until he met Tonino Carlo again that he realized he had overlooked.
You must know that the king of heaven in the original One Piece book is a weapon that can only be used by Yimu and the five old stars, and it has been successfully launched once, completely destroying the island where the kingdom of Lulucia is located.
According to Tianliu, after the Heavenly King was manufactured, it was in a semi-damaged state, that is, it was partially repaired by Vegapunk later.
As for how it was fixed?
In addition to the technology of the ancient civilization possessed by Vegapunk itself, the corresponding materials are also needed.
The Heavenly King uses the energy of the Yuanyang, and the Yuanyang Stone is the product of the influence of the Yuanyang Energy, and the highest quality Yuanyang Stone is definitely an excellent material for repairing the Heavenly King.
And in this way, the question arises, how important is the king of heaven to the world government? Then the kingdom of Tyria, where the Yuanyang Stone that produces the repair materials is located, is naturally the top priority.
How high is the status of Tonino Caro, who can be the king of the Kingdom of Tyria and have autonomy?
Chi Yao's guess is that Tonino Caro is the top member of the Celestial Dragons, and I'm afraid that Tonino Caro Sheng is his real name.
Therefore, Tonino Caro said that he was quite relaxed when he helped himself contact the world government, and he did not hesitate to arrange affairs.
As for why Tonino Caro concealed his name, it is unknown.
And from this point of view, from a certain point of view, Chi Yao at this time is also a Tianlong person, and even a top-level family among the Tianlong people.
Thinking of this, Chi Yao was also a little crying and laughing in his heart, the best title of "Savior" arranged for himself the identity of the Celestial Dragon in the One Piece world, but the hidden task he received was to ask him to inherit the last wish of the ancient civilization and overthrow the world government.
The second more. Whew, it's written here, and it's obviously in contrast to someone's initial identity (no, Brother Xiao, you listen to my explanation), and then everyone should be able to guess the scene of Chi Yao and Su Xiao meeting (for this dish of vinegar-wrapped dumplings, no).
Ahem, seriously, Chi Yao's initial identity is also a foreshadowing for the subsequent completion of world-class hidden tasks, after all, behemoths are gradually disintegrating from the inside, right?
