Chapter 432: Chapter 328: My Treasure!
In a flash, Long Yi was back in the sea and had to readjust to the sensation of his lungs flooded with seawater. Once his eyes adjusted to the dim ocean bottom, he found that the surrounding area was in disarray.
"Brother Long! You’re back!" Mina hurriedly flew over, filled with worry.
"What happened!" Long Yi inquired.
"Ever since you left, Little Eight has been very uneasy, and as time passed, it became even more so. It started to struggle and the warriors ended up with some minor injuries, but it has now calmed down," Mina answered.
Long Yi nodded and slowly moved to the head of the Eight-arm Sea Dragon.
"Honorable Guardian, I’m going to remove this thorn. If you experience any discomfort, please try to bear with it," Long Yi shouted, and Mina quickly translated.
The Eight-arm Sea Dragon let out a low sound, and Mina translated, "Don’t worry, Little Eight says it is already prepared."
Long Yi nodded and reached out, but the Sea Emperor Boris suddenly grabbed Long Yi’s wrist.
"Before you remove this thing, you should tell me what it is," Boris demanded.
Long Yi laughed.
"Of course. This thing is the Giant’s Scepter."
The Giant’s Scepter!
Boris was stunned.
The scepter that could instantly obliterate mountains, divert rivers, and flatten basins? This Giant’s Scepter? Humans had witnessed the power of the Giant’s Scepter in the past, leaving behind only textual records, but without any excessive description of its appearance. Therefore, the Sea Emperor had no idea that this spike lodged into the Eight-arm Sea Dragon’s head was the Giant’s Scepter!
Long Yi placed his hand on the gem and information immediately emerged on its surface.
’Space Rivet fully removed. Searching for the first user... Failed.’
’Matching user. Successful match with Giant’s Bloodline. Binding to space, reloading the Rivet. Successful attachment. The first user is now Long Yi. Initiating automatic adaptation.’
The gigantic scepter shrank to just a meter in size in the blink of an eye. The instant vacuum made the seawater around boil, then, the seawater filled the vacuity, rose, and gradually disappeared.
’Standing by.’
As Long Yi clasped the scepter, his heart pounded rapidly. Although he didn’t know the current use of the scepter, he noticed one thing.
The number of people authorized for satellite strikes on the Giant’s Tablet had changed.
’One.’
This mere ’One’ filled Long Yi with immense excitement. Once the number turned into ’Three’, Long Yi would be able to command a satellite strike! Imagine an unexpected satellite attack out of the blue, this is the treatment transmigrators should get!
Long Yi figured his saliva would drop at any second.
Obviously, the question remains: where to find the remaining two scepters. But at least, one-third of the goal is already achieved!
Overcome with ecstatic joy, Little Mina happily followed him while Boris fell silent. He saw that Long Yi was not very familiar with the use of the scepter. Once Long Yi fully mastered the scepter’s power, the land would very likely undergo earth-shaking changes.
And what about after the land?
Is this really a good idea?
Boris looked at Long Yi. He could barely fight in the water and was no match even for a Tiger Whale Warrior.
Should I really let him return?
At this moment, Long Yi suddenly approached Boris.
"Your Majesty, your gaze... You’re not thinking of doing something dangerous, are you?" Long Yi said quietly.
Boris was taken aback, then laughed.
"No, how could I?"
With the removal of the spike, the Eight-arm Sea Dragon felt more relaxed than ever. It gratefully thanked Long Yi and told him that as one of the older members of the diverse sea dragon tribe, it would spread Long Yi’s good intentions to every Sea Dragon in the deep sea. If Long Yi encountered any problems in the sea in the future, he could seek help from any nearby Sea Dragons, who would be more than happy to assist.
As for the appreciation from the Eight-arm Sea Dragon, Long Yi naturally accepted it, albeit with a bit of embarrassment. After all, he obtained the Giant’s Scepter, and treating the Eight-arm Sea Dragon was actually just incidental.
When Long Yi prepared to leave, Mina very much wanted to go with him, but was strictly forbidden by Boris. The situation on the continent had been turbulent recently. If something happened to Mina while she was with Long Yi, it could easily drag the Sea Clan into it. The Sea Clan had already been secluded for too long. There was nothing on the land that the Sea Clan needed, and no one was idle enough to hope to be involved in a senseless war.
Although Mina was unhappy, she had to respect her father’s decision.
"It’s okay, just wait for me in the sea. After the world is at peace, we can play as long as we want!" Long Yi consoled.
"Okay, then hurry up and bring peace to the world!" Mina pouted.
"Don’t worry, it certainly won’t take till you’ve grown up." Long Yi replied with a hearty laugh.
As he watched Long Yi leave, Boris felt his world turning upside down.
World peace?
Damn it, as long as there are countries in this world, how can there be world peace? Was Long Yi planning to conquer the entire world? Wouldn’t the Dragon Clan just stand by and watch?
Indeed, was he planning to wage war against the Dragon Clan?
If Long Yi were a real giant, Boris might have come forward now to help him conquer the world. But obviously, Long Yi was just a big, human lump, bearing the title of a giant, without the power and knowledge of a real giant.
No matter, the bottom of the sea is the safest place in the world. We have a long enough lifespan to wait for him to conquer the world or to die on the battlefield.
Either way, it wouldn’t matter much to us, the Sea Clan. We are merely bystanders.
At this time, Long Yi wasn’t thinking so much. He was immersed in all sorts of joy. The giant’s staff contained immense power. Pity though, it didn’t come with an instruction manual. He dare not experiment too much with this so-called staff, a sophisticated device built by the giant. Just thinking about those space rivets that traverse different planes was enough to scare oneself half to death.
Just like ordinary people need a lot of training to drive a car, let alone flying an airplane, which is even more difficult. This giant’s staff is a much higher-level object than an airplane, perhaps a spaceship-level?
At least for now, he didn’t venture into too many experiments under the sea.
When he was bored, he took out his giant tablet and looked at how many people had authorized orbital strikes. He chuckled to himself a couple of times.
Little Zi floated beside him and quietly shared his silly laughter.
Life has not lacked excitement ever since she started following Brother Long.
Long Yi turned his head and saw Little Zi smiling. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "I’ve mentioned before that I’m a two-timer, right? Let me tell you about my story."
Immediately, Little Zi obediently nodded her head and sat on Long Yi’s lap. Long Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. He realized he might have thought it too far, after all, Little Zi was just a child.
Long Yi then slowly recounted his past to Little Zi.
It was a day later when the Nautilus submarine arrived at its destination. Long Yi’s destination was not the White Dragon Empire, but a small island that he had always wanted to visit but never had the chance to.
Sulfur Island.
This was a small island formed by undersea volcanic eruption. There were several active volcanoes on the island that took turns erupting, with thick smoke always shrouding the surroundings. The pungent smell of sulfur could be smelled from afar, thus its name, Sulfur Island.
Occasionally, fishermen refer to this island but no one really takes it seriously. The incident that brought the island into the public’s notice was when the Demon Abyss dragons invaded.
An idiot mage from the Black Dragon Empire accidentally discovered some exceedingly powerful planes while testing a summoning spell. One of them, named Melting Fire Abyss, was a place where molten iron fell from the sky and the sea was made of boiling iron. Living in such a place were counterparts of the Dragon Clan in the human realm - the Demon Abyss Dragons.
Unlike the Dragon Clan in the human realm, the Demon Abyss dragons were extremely large and could spew molten iron. Dominating the top of the food chain in their original world, the mage sensed these dragons and decided to risk summoning one. If he could successfully sign a contract with them, it would significantly increase his own power.
However, what he did not anticipate was that he randomly summoned the Queen of the Demon Abyss dragons.
Yes, it was Bajie’s mother.
The Queen of the Demon Abyss Dragons did not even wait for the pathetic summoner to finish his words before she swallowed him whole. Then, she met the still vigorous Zetaer and Bajie came into the world.
At that time, the Demon Abyss Dragon Queen used her immense power to summon dozens of Demon Abyss dragons and flattened three cities in just one day. It was then that, for the first time, the Black Dragon Empire experienced the terror of the Demon Abyss dragons. These giant dragons, with their bodies at least 60 to 70 meters long, were extremely powerful, invading the Black Dragon Empire like walking into an empty city!
Eventually, the Black Dragon Emperor at the time made a decision that all citizens of the Black Dragon Empire still find shameful to this day, they sought help from the whole world.
All seven nations sent their elite dragon knights and finally managed to kill a dozen of the Demon Abyss dragons and pushed the Demon Abyss Dragon Queen back into the Melting Fire Abyss. Even so, some of the Demon Abyss dragons escaped the attack and found refuge in their favorite place, Sulfur Island. Due to the island’s harsh environment, the pursuing dragons could not get too close and eventually gave up. However, to this day, some nations and dragon knights are not yet disheartened and are trying to harness the power of the Demon Abyss dragons. Obviously, this path is not an easy one to tread.
At least in Long Yi’s point of view, this path is really a hard one.
In front of Long Yi, there was a small path. Dried corpses lined both sides of the path. The place was so hot that corpses wouldn’t decay upon death but instead dry up, preserving their features just before they died.
Little Zi emitted wisps of cold to shield Long Yi from the surrounding heat. Although Long Yi could resist the heat due to his contract with Bajie, Bajie wasn’t around now. Without the protection of the Dragon Breath Armor, he wouldn’t be able to withstand extreme temperatures. In such a place, extreme temperature was the least of his worries. The choking smell that permeated the air was the real killer.
Just a moment ago, Long Yi saw corrosion marks on the tip of his submarine. The island was surrounded by dilute sulfuric acid.
Little Zi had to freeze a path in the seawater for the two to proceed.
It’s much harder to explore this place than they thought. (To be continued. If you like this story, please go to qidian.com to vote and support the story. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
