Chapter 1337: Chapter 216: Dad, Help Me!!!

To completely eliminate the curse requires slow and careful cleansing, but if you just want to avoid its influence temporarily, constructing a firewall is sufficient.

With Ian’s strength, building a firewall doesn’t take too long. Before this, Sio had already become the temporary controller.

"Wow—where is this place?"

The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon slowly crawled out of the pit, its six eyes scanning the surroundings in confusion.

Unlike the first three layers which had very much the architectural style of a pre-era civilization, the fourth layer of the research institute showed hardly any signs of man-made structures. It seemed like a giant natural crystal cavern, with a dense array of crystal clusters inside, releasing a natural Spirit Energy Field.

"This seems to be the core of the Spirit Energy Field...one of the energy sources of the Subspace Labyrinth!"

Among those present, aside from Ian, the best at Alchemy, Yisen was the first to detect the truth. He exclaimed in amazement, "Such a vast Natural Spirit Energy Field, actually forming a natural crystal cluster amplification field underground! Now I understand how the Subspace Labyrinth could operate for nearly a thousand years and why there’s so much Natural Spirit Energy to create the Voidrealm Machine God...this is the reason!"

"This place is just like a Dragon Vein Furnace..."

Anfa was equally surprised, muttering to herself, "My instincts tell me this is the most suitable place to ’nest’...Sio, do you feel the same?"

"..."

But Sio, usually talkative, fell silent. The red-haired Dragon Maiden with a solemn face controlled the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon to turn its head, looking to the other side of the cavern, "Something’s not right here."

"Did you notice it? This place has been reinforced by a force."

"Of course, it must have been reinforced. Such a Natural Spirit Energy Field is invaluable; it would be strange if it weren’t reinforced, right?"

Yisen didn’t quite understand why Sio was so cautious, but after a brief moment of confusion, Anfa suddenly sensed something and her expression became serious, "Yes...I feel it too...this place has been reinforced by a force!"

"Moreover...it’s a force we’re very familiar with!"

Whoosh—The Dark Gold Colossus Dragon gradually levitated and flew under the control of Sio and Anfa, its True Dragon Body heading towards the center of the cavern. Although Yisen, somewhat puzzled, cooperated with them, he still didn’t understand what exactly the two dragons had discovered.

But soon, even he noticed something was wrong.

—Underneath those crystals...why does it seem like it’s not just ordinary rock or soil?

—Greenish-black, gray-silver, containing the aura of a dragon, rocks with a metallic sheen...

"Wait a minute?"

The blond boy finally realized something was off, "These are Qing Steel Stones?"

Indeed, they were Qing Steel Stones.

Because, as the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon continued to approach the center of the Spirit Energy Field, another majestic and towering Dragon Body appeared before everyone.

The corpse of the Qiang Steel Dragon God rested serenely at the center of the Dragon Nest constructed from countless crystals, while a large amount of deep silver crystals had completely enveloped its mountain-sized body, resembling a horizontally laid egg.

However, it was apparent that the body of the Qiang Steel Dragon God had many wounds...a large amount of flesh and blood had been taken.

And that flesh and blood...

Everyone raised their heads, looking at the ’Dark Gold Colossus Dragon’ cockpit they were in.

"It’s the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon."

Sio let out a long sigh, feeling a bit emotional, "I never would have thought that the resting place of the Qiang Steel Dragon God’s bones was actually here!"

"And the Ice Dragon Nest we saw earlier in the Subspace Labyrinth was likely the lair of the Icefog Dragon? These two seniors probably fought each other, confirming that neither had life left for the ultimate victory, choosing to ’visit’ each other’s treasures and naturally waiting for death to come..."

"I just wondered how the Qiang Steel Dragon God, who still hadn’t mastered the technique of natural reproduction at the time, managed to leave offspring!"

"Oh no...or perhaps it’s fortunate!"

Just as Sio finally unraveled the doubts in her heart and was delighted, while Yisen and Anfa were amazed at the mountain-like majestic Dragon Body before them.

Everyone heard Ian’s sigh from behind them.

Turning around, they saw the pale-faced young man slowly getting up.

Having just finished constructing the most basic firewall, Ian didn’t have time for further refinement.

He controlled the eyes of the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon with a grave expression, scanning the surroundings, and then said half worriedly, half relievedly, "Haven’t you noticed yet? These reinforcement layers of Qing Steel Stones created using the power of the Bison Dragon God were only formed in recent years!"

"Anfa, Sio, have you forgotten? The Qing Steel Stones we acquired initially were extremely young, only produced in the last few years!"

"Yes, that’s right."

Sio and Anfa nodded slightly, recalling that it was indeed Ian who had revealed to them the truth behind the Qing Steel Stones at the time.

"This place has been reinforced solidly."

And Ian continued to control the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon to survey the surroundings. The more he looked, the more solemn he became, "The first layer of defensive walls, the second layer of defensive walls, the third layer with an eight-hundred-meter-thick reinforced rock defense wall...all of these are for disaster protection."

"Logically speaking, no matter how severe the catastrophe, it shouldn’t affect the fourth layer. If it’s a crustal-level disaster, no amount of defense would be meaningful."

"But here’s the problem...if that’s the case, why did the original owner here, ’The Last Echo,’ still need to reinforce it?"
