Capítulo 1282: Chapter 17: New Discovery

Ten minutes later.

The ugly dragon face of [Evil Wing] had its eyes squeezed shut, with wings tightly pressed against its body, the entire dragon filling the Night-class Destroyer completely like a giant fat-headed fish.

Now it wants to wail, but this bizarre stacking angle makes it impossible for its throat to produce any sound.

In the corner where [Evil Wing]’s tail curled, Shura stands alone, as that’s the last empty space on this destroyer.

Mu Fan, under Black’s strong request, finally entered Shura’s cockpit.

In case of an accident, Mu Fan can also ensure safety.

The swaying destroyer, under the escort of the other two, begins to drill towards the Jump Point.

Like a swimming fish diving into a bubble.

With a pop, the destroyer is completely swallowed by the vortex.

This space resumes tranquility.

A colorful curtain of light begins to pass through the crystal window, casting onto the interior of the warship.

Mu Fan quietly admires the colorful spectacle through Shura’s vision, akin to frozen but sticky multicolored scenery.

The vibrancy here truly differs from those previously ink-black passages.

If observed closely, he can even see the textures on the walls of the passage.

The time for warp won’t be long, usually just one or two minutes.

Thus, Mu Fan doesn’t worry much.

But at this moment, the mechanical dragon [Evil Wing] curled in the cabin has a flash of doubt in its eyes.

This feeling…

A sense of soul-shivering?

Is there something bad nearby?

So it struggles to twist its neck and lets out a difficult sound.

“Feeling an inexplicable ominousness?” Black finds it hard to understand the content Evil Wing wishes to describe at this moment, can it be directly translated as sixth sense warning?

Mechanical life has a sixth sense?

Lord Black is somewhat skeptical.

But Shura suddenly grips the hilt at this moment.

“The breath of life’s decline, repulsive… it is… watching me!”

Shura’s harsh voice rings out in Mu Fan’s mind.

Just as Mu Fan wants to inquire, Shura suddenly raises his head to look upwards!

In an instant, red light bursts from his eyes.

That terrifying killing intent surges.

Outside the gigantic transparent skylight.

In that colorful jelly, a shadow vaguely resembling a twisting python slithers by!

Mu Fan sees only the tail of that shadow.

However, at that moment of being watched, Mu Fan feels a heavy thump in his heart, with every hair standing on end on his back.

A hair-raising sensation inexplicably arises from the depths of his soul.

This sensation merely lasts less than half a second.

When the shadow disappears, that sense of crisis similarly vanishes.

Bang, bang, bang.

The destroyer suddenly begins to shake violently.

“Foreign object exists within the warp passage! The ship’s body is being impacted.”

In the colorful passage, pieces scorched crimson flash by, violently hitting the hull of the Night-class Destroyer.

In this narrow passage, the ship cannot avoid them but can only endure the impacts.

This series of impacts lasts nearly thirty seconds.

The hull suddenly lightens, all vibrations instantly cease.

The vibrant colors before their eyes vanish without a trace.

The unique silent darkness of the universe returns to Mu Fan’s sight.

A twenty-five-meter-tall black fissure in the starry sky quietly closes behind the destroyer.

“We’re out!”

“Warp complete, the warp passage disappears, reverse traversal possibility is zero.”

“The other two destroyers are stationed outside.”

As soon as leaving the warp passage, Black instantly contacts the two destroyers that entered earlier.

“Release Evil Wing, let it lie on the deck of one destroyer.”

The mechanical dragon, freed, lets out an excited howl, finally escaping this agonizing place.

Shura simultaneously appears in space.

Mu Fan looks around.

In his line of sight… there is actually a barren Chaotic Stone Sea.

Cratered asteroids stretch beyond sight.

“External signal lost.”

“Star Map comparison successful, this is the edge area of the Third star domain, marked as deserted, with no development records for thirty years.”

These pieces of information match exactly with what Jude had said before.

It was those nearly truthful words that nearly got Mu Fan killed.

“Now, to return to civilized society, we must first pass through this vast Chaotic Stone Sea. Fortunately, the Shadow Fleet’s energy is uniformly High Crystal Stone; if it were conventional energy… the consequences of coming here might indeed be unimaginable. Mu Fan, we might soon encounter other warship remains.”

Mu Fan nods, not continuing the discussion about this issue but instead asking, “Did you sense any energy abnormalities just now?”

“Abnormalities? No.” Black is puzzled, why is he asking him this.

“Shura, what’s wrong?” Mu Fan asks Shura.

“In the breath of life’s… bloodthirsty… repulsive…”

The harsh voice pauses, Shura’s eyes flash red briefly, then resolutely.

“…Ancient God, breath.”

Ancient God breath!?

A momentary flash in Mu Fan’s mind of the Beast Tide encountered on Purple Jade Star.

Those gigantic, terrifyingly destructive Star Beasts.

Their origin seems to be because of a structure called… Ancient God Worship Altar!

Could it be that breath?

“Incomplete… yet more potent… seemingly slumbering.”

Shura finally sums up simply, in one short sentence, yet it contains much information.

Even Shura acknowledges strength.

Mu Fan glances back at the space region that has no traces of warp anymore, a strange shadow casts over his heart.

Solomon’s sudden appearance, the special Jump Point at the ruins, all make him aware that the situation is likely far more complex than he understands.

As for what happens next, he can only take it step by step.

In the space, Evil Wing, lying on another destroyer, slowly stands, sniffing the air.

It does not need to breathe like humans; it does not appear uncomfortable in space. Instead, its shiny scales make it look even more majestic.

This dragon unfurls its wings, sprays white airflow, and circles in space.

Segments of electromagnetic waves begin to transmit into the destroyer.

“What’s with Evil Wing?”

“It says the ambiance here is noticeably denser than before, at least twice as much. But here seems to contain some special presence, a feeling that makes it ever more intensely fearful. It says it’s weak now, afraid a sudden attack would…”

“Two High Crystal Stones, give them now.” Mu Fan directly interrupts Black’s relay, this sound pattern converts to optical signals and transmits directly to Evil Wing’s mind.

Simultaneously, the destroyer’s deck opens its hatch, allowing two fist-sized High Crystal Stones to float out.

Seeing this, the dragon’s eyes widened in astonishment, its huge lantern-like eyes filled with excitement, as it flexibly turns its body, extends its metal tongue covered in delicate patterns, and swiftly rolls up the two High Crystal Stones into its mouth.

This benefactor is truly generous!

Upon tasting such deliciousness again, Evil Wing feels its vision brighten.

Tossing its thick tail, the entire dragon suddenly flies forward to the side.

“Follow it over there! It has made a discovery.”

Black translates wryly.
