Chapter 519: Chapter 408: This is Common Knowledge
"Wait a minute!"
Long Yi’s shout startled everyone.
"Hahaha, go on, yell. Even if you yell your throat out, nobody will come to save you! Isrile giggled, "Don’t worry, we sisters will take care of you, committed to helping you win every battle! Good boy!"
At this moment, Long Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"I’m just wondering, Isrile, what’s your plan to get a baby?" Long Yi asked very seriously.
"Don’t think your sweet talk will buy you time. No matter your excuses, your body is mine today!" With that, Isrile was about to bite down again.
"Listen, I think there might be some misunderstanding here," Long Yi said, "YOU are not Dragon Hunting Spiders now."
Isrile was about to bite when she suddenly paused, lifting her head slowly.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, while I don’t know how Dragon Hunting Spiders reproduce, I believe you definitely missed an important step," Long Yi said.
Isrile stared at Long Yi’s face. According to her understanding of Long Yi, when he spoke in such a sober tone, he wouldn’t lie.
In fact, Long Yi never lied in front of his own people.
"Alright ladies, seems like the Giant’s modification made you folks forget a bunch of stuff, let me give you a lesson," Long Yi said.
Long Yi’s Fighting Aura swelled over his body, he pulled off the spider silk from his body, and then sat on the ground and drew a picture.
"Look, like this, then this, then again like this, and end like this. The female spider eats the male spider in the end, that’s spider reproduction, I guess your reproduction as Dragon Hunting Spiders is similar."
Long Yi said.
Isrile nodded. It seemed to be correct according to her vague memories, but she wasn’t sure.
"But here’s the issue: you’re humans now, not Dragon Hunting Spiders. And I guess I’m a human too," Long Yi said.
"So humans don’t need to eat too?" a girl asked.
"No, they don’t."
"So what should we do?"
"Well, the process goes like this..."
With some simple sketches, Long Yi explained briefly.
"Wait, you’re saying... you need to... repeatedly... poke...?" the three naive girls blushed.
Long Yi nodded.
"You lie! You’re crazy!" Isrile yelled.
"Shut up, you ignorant fool!" Long Yi had finally found his dignity.
"No way, we cannot allow this!" the three girls shouted in unison.
"I didn’t even consider it!" Long Yi yelled back.
On the journey back in the Worm Vehicle, Long Yi had been cornered while the four girls, led by Isrile, huddled together whispering, while also glancing at Long Yi blushing. Whenever they noticed Long Yi was watching them, they would glare back at him.
As the journey in the Worm Vehicle was nearing its end, a flustered Isrile approached Long Yi: "Listen, we’ll pretend today’s incident never happened. My sisters and I will help you as promised, but don’t you dare to think about using your ’stinger’! You are not even allowed to think about it!"
"I didn’t even think about it!"
The Worm Vehicle surfaced in a secret chamber of Long Yi’s camp. Ai Lin and Suolin had been waiting there as Long Yi was the first to come out, and were overjoyed. However, the three girls dressed identically to Isrile who followed signaled a successful mission for Long Yi. Could it be that the girls’ blushed appearance was because they were not accustomed to the surface?
"Hello, I’m Ai Lin, welcome to Long Yi’s Legion!"
Ai Lin went to greet them. The three girls, feeling an uncanny warmth from Ai Lin, relaxed and smiled: "Hi, sister Ai Lin, we’re family now!"
The girls spoke sweetly.
Ai Lin...sister?
Ai Lin was taken aback, these Dragon Hunting Spiders all more than ten thousand years old were calling her sister. That didn’t seem quite right.
She glanced at Long Yi, and when he shrugged, Ai Lin simply accepted it as a custom of the Dragon Hunting Spiders.
The addition of the three new Dragon Hunting Spiders significantly enhanced Long Yi’s Legion’s powers and also drastically increased food consumption in a short period. Fortunately, the girls weren’t picky eaters. They preferred meat, but would eat pretty much anything edible. They even said that they had resorted to eating rocks when starving underground, so vegetables and fruits tasted quite good in comparison.
Due to the obviously improved relationship with the Fertile Plains Federation, the economic exchanges between the White Dragon Empire and the Federation have become much more frequent recently, resulting in a plentiful supply of various crops. In a place like the White Dragon Empire, as long as you have the money, there’s nothing you can’t buy!
In a blink of an eye, the appointed new date between Long Yi and Crystal Demon Princess Belle had arrived. Long Yi, who had secretly prepared in the Gentle Wind Plain for a few days, brought the four Dragon Hunting Spider sisters to a nearby crevice he had explored. As twenty-four spider eyes took to the sky simultaneously, twenty-four powerful Blazing Impacts struck the Plane’s scar, promptly enlargening the rift into a passageway.
However, what awaited Long Yi were neither the Crystal Poison spewing out of the passage nor the pelting Crazy Demons, but two Crystal Demon warriors!
"Hello, honorable Mr. Long Yi, Princess Bellinz is waiting for you!"
Due to the Crystal Poison, the Isrile sisters waited on the outside, while Long Yi followed the Crystal Demon warriors into the passage.
Upon arriving at the Crazy Demon planet, what Long Yi saw wasn’t a desolate crystal world, but something astounding, towering crystal architectures erupted from the ground!
These buildings seemed like they had grown out of the ground; they were majestic and monolithic. Under the sunlight, they reflected dazzling brilliance!
"Mr. Long Yi! You’re here!"
Crystal Demon Princess Belle floated over.
Different from the last time he saw Belle, the Crystal Demon Princess was now completely crystal clear; her skin no longer composed of tiny crystal grains, but a complete crystal instead. A pair of crystal wings sprouted out from her back, and she wore a small crystal crown on her head.
Belle landed, the wings drew in, and the crown disappeared.
"It’s been a while, Princess Belle." Long Yi extended a knightly greeting.
"You as well, great Mr. Long Yi," Princess Belle returned a ladylike greeting.
"Hahaha, let’s not stand on ceremony. I can’t wait!" Long Yi laughed heartily.
"The Light Cannon is in the building up ahead, let’s go!" Belle spoke up.
"This place has completely changed since my last visit, have you started re-colonizing here?" Long Yi asked.
"All thanks to your assistance Mr. Long Yi; the emergence of the Catalyst Crystal Stones gave us the resources to fight the Crazy Demons. As soon as we parted last time, I immediately began reclaiming the Crazy Demon planet. As you can see, we’ve already begun to establish a foothold here. Every day, tens of thousands of warriors are sent to this planet to fight alongside me. Soon, this place will once again be under our control."
Belle’s words expressed her gratitude to Long Yi. Without his help, countless years of the Crystal Demon Tribe’s long-cherished wish would not have been fulfilled. Helping Long Yi has become a problem she continuously contemplates. Because of this, she built their first outpost right at the mouth of the Plane’s passageway, for ease of communication with Long Yi.
When Long Yi saw the Light Cannon, his heart nearly leapt out of his chest with excitement.
A solid crystal more than a meter long, a Crystal Core sparkled within it.
"This is a Resonance Amplification Crystal Core, it can amplify the energy inputted from the Crystal Core," Belle explained to Long Yi.
Long Yi nodded and took out a Crystal Power Core from his personal space; this was the standard core for Battle Armors. Since he was unsure what specifications the Light Cannon required, Long Yi didn’t design any base for it; he merely fastened the Light Cannon to the output of the Power Core.
About a minute later, the Light Cannon was fully charged, emitting white light and a humming sound, signifying it was on standby.
Long Yi aimed the Light Cannon at a massive rock in front of him.
Boom!
A dazzling light shot at the rock, pulverizing and exploding it!
"Knowing that your kingdom is in a constant state of war, we specially adjusted the effect of the Light Cannon so that a target hit by a light beam explode," Belle explained.
"This is absolutely incredible!" Long Yi exclaimed, looking at the Power Core which had barely consumed any energy.
"The activation of the Light Cannon does need some Crystal Core energy, but not much, it mostly comes from the Cannon’s own Crystal Core power supply. If it maintains the rate of firing once a minute, the Light Cannon itself can recharge without any energy expenditure. However, if using the maximum firing speed – once every three seconds – it can maintain about 20 shots or one minute of continuous firepower. Once its energy is exhausted, the Light Cannon will automatically start overcharging. It can only continue firing after twenty minutes," Belle described the Light Cannon’s design data to Long Yi.
Truth be told, Long Yi was rather surprised by this data. Although it didn’t compare to the insane firepower of the multitude of cannons and tank guns from his previous world, but...
Long Yi suddenly froze.
Hold on.
Suddenly, Long Yi looked up, his eyes sparkled as he gazed at Belle.
"Um... Mr. Long Yi?" Belle was startled by Long Yi’s gaze.
"Princess Belle, I would like to discuss something with you." Long Yi murmured, as if fearing that someone might overhear.
"Alright, go ahead!" Belle nodded earnestly.
"Since the scientists of your kingdom are capable of creating such a Light Cannon, they must also be able to produce a larger one, right?" Long Yi asked.
"That... should not be a problem." The Crystal Demon Tribe didn’t manufacture things, they grew them. Theoretically, they could create anything of any size, as long as it wasn’t excessively ridiculous.
"How big can they make?" Long Yi asked, not content.
"Hmm... the largest single crystal currently grown by our parent crystal, is the central tower of our Crystal Kingdom. It’s eight hundred meters tall. However, if it’s for the production of a Light Cannon..."
"That’s... too big..." (To be continued. If you like this novel, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
