Chapter 431: Chapter 327 Old Friends
Long Yi was thrilled, but he was also aware that his time was limited. Every anchor removal had a definite time limit; Long Yi couldn’t delay too long. However, when one rarely gets the chance to return, not making some contribution would be a disservice to oneself! From his private space, Long Yi produced several small crystal cores. These things were acquired casually, and for the White Dragon Empire they were hardly indispensable, so they were always left untouched in his private space. Now, Long Yi took them out and put them in the safe, then turned around and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the objects I just left behind are energy crystal cores, a kind of bioactive energy storage substance. Their working principle is similar to nuclear fuel, but I can’t be sure how it would work on Earth. So, I put them in the safe. After I leave, please have your research staff study them closely. They might be useable in controlled nuclear fusion. If used properly, we might easily be able to get rid of fossil fuels."
Long Yi spoke, but the people around him all showed cautious looks. Long Yi understood, after all, no one knew whether these items were bombs or poison. However, Long Yi was not worried; this level of treasure could definitely trigger an energy revolution.
"All right, everyone, and Number One Leader, my time is short. I must hurry and finish my mission and leave. When I return next time, I hope to see a whole new world!" Long Yi moved to Number One Leader, lifted the table in front of him, and beneath it was a wastebasket that held the spatial anchor.
Exerting all his strength, the rivet was pulled out with a loud noise, and at the same time, Long Yi and Little Zi disappeared into the air.
The lords all looked at each other, also the four men in black, were stunned, that the man in front of them disappeared in the blink of an eye?
After a while, Number One Leader said, "Today’s meeting is suspended; we will change our location. The anti-chemical forces will intervene and take those objects to the Science Academy."
"Leader, should we trust him?" a General asked.
"You all saw it too. If that guy really wanted to cause some kind of trouble, do any of you believe that you could stop his punch? So, I’d rather believe his words. Besides, it’s strange, but I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before, especially his tone of voice, it is very familiar." Number One Leader said, "If everything he said is true, then maybe this time it is our chance. Do you remember the problems we encountered last time with our controlled nuclear fusion equipment? Whether that person is an alien or a person from the future, nonetheless, he’s on our side!"
Space travel once again commenced. This time, Long Yi appeared on an icy plain, completely devoid of anything. The ground was made of solid ice, and from a chain on the distant mountaintop, a chain descended from the sky.
"Brother Long, those people, you were having some strange conversation," Little Zi said.
"Yes, they are the people I miss them the most." Long Yi walked and reminisced.
"So, they are giants?" Little Zi asked.
"No, they are also humans, but humans from another universe," Long Yi said.
"Brother Long, do you mean..."
"It’s a long story. Your Brother Long, if you add it all up, could very well be a multi-traveller."
Isn’t it? Long Yi should have traversed once to become a giant and then traversed again to the Human Realm. Long Yi initially planned to tell Little Zi about this, but obviously, he didn’t have the chance for now.
Suddenly, the icy plain was filled with giant warriors made of ice!
"Did we intrude their territory?" Little Zi immediately summoned all her female demon avatars.
"No, these giant warriors were summoned by the rivets to guard the rivets," Long Yi said.
"Wait, Brother Long, are we not unlocking, but destroying the lock?"
"Exactly, I don’t have the key, so how could I be unlocking it?"
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Charge before the time limit!"
The crystal greatsword transformed into a crystal war hammer. Long Yi dashed on the body of the ice giant, leaving behind shattered bodies. In this icy place, Little Zi and her avatars could perform at their best. Huge chunks of ice were pulled out from the ground and violently slammed into the ice giants, turning both the ice giants and ice chunks into shatters. The power of giants was in the bodies of these ice giants, which was enough to harm the female demons, so even Little Zi couldn’t easily fly over. However, it was very difficult for them to attack her.
Realising that they could not stop the advance of the two, the ice giants suddenly curled up, their bodies flashing with a bright glow!
"Little Zi! Get back!"
At Long Yi’s shout, all the female demon avatars returned to Little Zi’s body, and Little Zi immediately dove into Long Yi’s body.
Boom!
All ice giants exploded on the spot. At the most critical moment, Long Yi turned the crystal greatsword into a shield, blocking most of his body.
But one of his arms didn’t get completely protected in time and was bleeding profusely.
Pure ice could only cause limited damage to Long Yi, but the power of giants within was enough to neutralise Long Yi’s defences.
Long Yi clenched his teeth in pain, but at least the path ahead was clear.
He rinsed his wounds with some melted ice, making his arm a bit cleaner. The power of the giants was still rampaging within his body. He had wasted a lot of time, and Long Yi had no time to wait for his body to calm down. He strode to the chain and grabbed it. A dark golden lightning bolt immediately ran along the chain and hit Long Yi.
The power of the rules? Ridiculous! Do you think I would be afraid of you?
Long Yi immediately absorbed the Power of Rules, and a thunderbolt ran back along the chain. With a bang, the rivet fell out on its own!
There are two rivets left!
Long Yi moved his aching arm and disappeared into thin air.
When Long Yi appeared again, the scent of decay in the air made him cough violently. A freezing wind came from an unknown direction, Long Yi felt like even his soul was being carried away by it. An illusion?
The ground was full of giant skeletons, which seemed to be dragon bones. Was this place the Dragon Tomb?
Another gust of freezing wind, this time Long Yi realised. This was not wind, but some unknown energy fluctuation, powerful enough to rip the soul of an ordinary person directly out of its body!
Luckily for Long Yi, he was a giant!
"Little Zi, don’t ever come out," Long Yi whispered. Little Zi was deeply asleep, she would need to keep her activities to an absolute minimum, and she dare not wake up.
Tremors came from the ground. Not far away, Long Yi could see two chains rising to the sky. So, the last two rivets were at the same place! This saves my trouble!
Long Yi hastened forward, suddenly a giant dragon burst out, blocking Long Yi’s path. Long Yi swung his sword to cut it down, but realised it was not a live dragon but a shrivelled and decaying corpse of a dragon!
The dragon corpse did not have eyes. It rushed out, not for Long Yi, but in the direction Long Yi was heading. Long Yi was taken aback, it didn’t notice me?
Or perhaps it was that it had noticed, but something even more appealing caught its attention?
Finally, Long Yi arrived at the battlefield, only to see a colossal Black Dragon engaged in battle against a horde of Corpse Dragons and Ghost Dragons. The Black Dragon continually unleashed its Dragon Breath, inflicting massive damage on any Corpse or Ghost Dragon it struck.
However, their real advantage was in their massive numbers.
Though the Black Dragon was powerful, it was but one.
The rivet was on top of the Black Dragon’s head.
Yet, no matter from which angle one looked, this Black Dragon seemed rather familiar.
"Isn’t that Tyl!"
Long Yi was shocked, indeed, it was Black Dragon Tyl!
Withdrawing the Dragon-slaying Sword and conjuring a spell at the same time!
Blazing Impact!
Bang!
A huge blaze roared into the sky, burning a Corpse Dragon that was about to pounce on the Black Dragon to a cinder.
"Tyl! Are you alright!"
Long Yi shouted.
At this point, the Black Dragon turned its head, and only then did Long Yi discover, to his dismay, that Tyl was left with only one eye!
"How on earth are you here!" Tyl exclaimed in shock.
"It’s a long story! Let’s deal with these creatures first and save the explanations for later!" said Long Yi.
It was easier said than done, with the seemingly endless stream of Corpse Dragons, Ancient Dragons, and Ghost Dragons surrounding them.
"Ghost Dragons continually summon new Corpse and Ancient Dragons! We must eliminate the Ghost Dragons first! Isn’t Little Zi with you?" Tyl shouted.
"Something’s off about this place, souls are being taken away!" Long Yi stated.
"Don’t worry! This place only extracts souls from their bodies, Little Zi has no body, she’s not in danger!" Tyl assured.
Long Yi immediately called out to Little Zi, and when she emerged, she indeed appeared unaffected by the force that swept over her.
"Take out the Ghost Dragon first!"
Tyl shouted.
The Dragon Breath imbued with Dragon Power sprayed out, proving exceedingly potent against the Ghost Dragons. Followed by Little Zi launching mental blasts. The Ghost Dragons, inherently ethereal beings resembling female demons, were extremely vulnerable to such direct mental attacks.
The moment the Ghost Dragon found itself at a disadvantage, Tyl would close in and swallow the Ghost Dragon whole.
The Ghost Dragons quickly became aware of Tyl’s reinforcements and wailing, they fled with the Corpse Dragons.
Only then did Tyl allow himself to collapse heavily onto the ground, taking a moment to rest.
"Hey, old man, are you okay? Where are we?" Long Yi inquired.
"You don’t know where you’ve trespassed into? Boy, this is the Dragon Clan’s Burial Ground!"
Burial Ground? Long Yi had heard of this place. Only dragons that had committed heinous crimes were sent here. Once a dragon is inside the Burial Ground, its demise is certain.
"I didn’t plan on barging into here, I needed to extract two rivets." Long Yi declared.
"Regardless of what you plan on doing, if you could get in, you can probably get out. Finish what you came to do and leave this place quickly." Tyl suggested.
"No can do, I still have some time, but the moment I extract the rivets, I’ll be teleported away instantly. First things first, tell me how do I rescue you?"
"Rescue me?"
"Yes, you’ll die if you stay here!"
"Die? Haha, boy, I appreciate your sentiment. But you see, in reality, I’m already dead!"
With these words, a massive Ghost Dragon slowly rose from within Tyl, its body enveloped in roiling black Dragon Breath.
"You! How can this be!" Long Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"Haha, don’t be shocked or feel sorry for me. For me, death is merely a new beginning, death can provide shortcuts to success! So, do whatever you have to do without worrying about me. I have to stay here."
Long Yi sensed that Tyl seemed to have been planning something all along, possibly including the plan to make himself his Dragon Knight. However, did his plan really necessitate him being sent to the Burial Ground?
Confused, Long Yi shook his head but decided to respect Tyl’s choice.
As the two rivets were pulled out one by one, Tyl felt a wave of relaxation sweep over him, a feeling of power welling up within once more.
Long Yi didn’t even have time to speak before he was teleported away instantly. Tyl smiled as he watched where Long Yi vanished.
"Ah, Long Yi, you truly are my lucky star. Though I don’t know what you’ve done, just now, it felt as if I’ve acquired a new power! Come, Ghost Dragons, attack me! You’ll become my most delicious meal!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote at qidian.com to support me. Your support is my greatest motivation.
