Whereâs Mountain Cat?
Amidst the chaos earlier, he hadnât been able to keep track of everyoneâs positions. Could it be that Mountain Cat didnât manage to climb onto the Green Dragon and got swallowed by it?
Just at that moment!
"Here... here I am."
Covered in slime and blood, Mountain Cat struggled out from the back of the Green Dragon. His hair was matted like it hadnât been washed in weeks. He shakily stood up, raised his rifle, and grinned at Biaozi.
"I crawled in from behind the Green Dragon, made a hole in the depths, and got into the Green Dragonâs uterus before firing several rounds."
"Biao, you said to attack the weak points. I figured that was weak enough."
"..."
Biaozi was slightly stunned, then he reacted, striding over to Mountain Cat and embracing him with a grin, "Impressive, brother! You did a great job this time; no wonder the Green Dragon suddenly died."
"Itâs just..." Mountain Cat looked towards a half-corpse in a corner not far away, his tone downcast, "Maozi is dead."
"Boom..."
At this point, the gate blocking the passage slowly opened. Zhang Damei, who had been waiting outside, led the second team over to Biaoziâs side. Seeing the unmoving body of the Green Dragon, disbelief flashed in her eyes, "Dead... is it dead?"
"You killed a Level 5 monster without using mecha?"
...
Biaozi didnât immediately respond to Zhang Damei. Instead, he patted Mountain Catâs shoulder and whispered.
"Dead is dead."
"Maozi never had much courage, living in doomsday was too painful for him, and death is a relief."
Then he looked up and down at Mountain Cat, whose body was a bit twisted.
"Is your injury serious?"
"Not too serious, that monster squeezed me inside, probably some fractures."
As the few were talking.
The Green Dragon lying on the ground gradually turned into dust and disappeared on the plaza, leaving only an accessory blueprint and a chip.
And the plaza was also gradually collapsing.
After quickly picking up the items dropped on the ground, Biaozi supported Mountain Cat, looked towards Zhang Damei and others, "Letâs talk once we get back, this place is about to collapse, we need to leave quickly."
...
"..."
Inside the Constant Star Train, Chen Mang sat calmly in his chair looking at the screen. Earlier, he had witnessed the whole process from Biaoziâs perspective. A Level 5 monster had unexpectedly appeared, blocking the plaza space below.
The train couldnât provide support.
Biaozi and the others could only rely on themselves.
"Level 5 monster..."
After a long time, the murmuring voice of Chen Mang came from the compartment; he originally thought perhaps the entire guard team might be annihilated under the plaza, but unexpectedly... they won.
Theoretically speaking.
Even a young boy, armed with a Level 6 weapon, has a chance of killing a Level 5 monster.
After all, if it can break through defenses, thereâs a chance to kill.
But thatâs just theory, the actual probability is much lower, much lower.
In actual combat, many issues can arise, and Biaozi and the others had almost no means of defense, getting hit once would be fatal. In such a circumstance, they managed to surround and kill the Level 5 monster with only one casualty, which could be considered a miracle.
"This Level 5 monster wasnât very strong."
Aiâs voice came from the train compartment, "It had very basic attack methods, even attack blind spots. If it were a Level 5 monster from the Kunlun Mountain area, Biaozi and the others wouldnât have survived."
"Due to being newly revived, a single swipe could only disembowel, whereas a normal Level 5 monster would have turned them into a blood mist instantly."
"Thatâs still impressive," Chen Mang said softly.
And at this momentââ
Several lines of text appeared again on the control panel screen.
-
"Youâve successfully returned the Green Dragon to its homeland, fulfilling its wish and bringing it back to its roots."
"The skeleton deep in the cavern is the true body of this Green Dragon."
"Long ago, the soul of the Green Dragon was imprisoned here, reviving in different Green Dragon bodies each time. Only by killing the Green Dragonâs soul can it truly find redemption."
"The damaged soul controlled the already decayed body."
"People always think that living is hope, not knowing that often only death is true redemption."
"It might attack you, but that wasnât its true intention."
"Thank you."
"The blue-grade Deep Sea Shield accessory original image, accompanied by the Green Dragonâs redemption, has been fragmented and scattered, obtainable through various means beyond just slaying the Green Dragon."
"Constant Star Train Reputation Value +100."
-
"..."
Chen Mang remained silent, not speaking, as Biaozi had already delivered the rewards from this encounter.
The rewards included an accessory blueprint and a chip.
The blue-grade accessory blueprint "Deep Sea Shield."
And...
A map chip, "Dragon Castle."
Like "Resident Evil," it needs to be used with the Combat Training Virtual Space, featuring ordinary and extreme mission options, capable of enhancing physical comprehensive quality upon completion.
The rewards were not bad.
He already had this "Deep Sea Shield" accessory, so for now, the accessory blueprint would only be useful for future trade.
"Ai."
"Take Mountain Cat to the âMedical Bayâ for treatment."
"Train Captain, Mountain Cat has already been treated with a âSimple Medical Box.â
"Oh?"
Chen Mang raised an eyebrow slightly, "The level 10 supermodel effect of the Simple Medical Box can only sew severed limbs, wasnât Mountain Catâs injury a fracture? How was it healed?"
"He chopped off the fractured part with a car blade fragment and then sewed it up. Under the level 10 supermodel effect of the Simple Medical Box, the misaligned bones automatically realigned."
"..."
Chen Mangâs eyelids twitched, but he said nothing more. He just operated the train, leaving the Undersea Maze and swiftly traversing the lakebed. As soon as it broke the surface, the wheels switched to Bunny Cloud, speeding into the distance through the air.
...
"Three arenât enough; bring three more."
Inside Guard Carriage No. 7.
Biaozi lit three more cigarettes and stuck them into Mountain Catâs mouth, "They have pain-relieving effects. Feeling better now?"
"Much... much better."
Mountain Cat, wrapped in bandages and twitching occasionally, lay on the bunk, pale-faced with sweat the size of soybeans dotting his forehead. The fractures were all healed, but... it hurt... hurt so much...
Thankfully, there were cigarettes to ease the pain, or else he would have passed out from the pain a long time ago.
"Mountain Cat."
Mei Jia, her eyes red-rimmed, knelt by Mountain Catâs bed, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a warm towel, holding his hand tightly, her lips moving slightly but ultimately saying nothing.
"Itâs okay."
Mountain Cat, lying on the bed, grinned and patted Mei Jiaâs head, "All the wounds on my body are healed now; itâs just a little painful. By this afternoon, it should be fine."
"You go back to your room first; this place is full of men, itâs not proper for a woman to stay here, go on back."
With tear-filled eyes, Mei Jia nodded, turned, and walked towards the refrigerator.
At that momentââ
Accompanied by Ai, Chen Mang passed through several carriages and reached Guard Carriage No. 7, sitting on the bed opposite Mountain Cat, speaking softly, "How are you feeling now?"
Seeing Master Mang, Mountain Cat immediately struggled to get up from the bed, leaning against the wall nervously.
"The injuries are all healed and Iâm ready to go."
"If youâre badly injured again like this, use the Medical Bay; thereâs not much iron ore, but the Constant Star Train wonât be unable to provide resources for the guardsâ treatment."
"Hmm..." Mountain Cat wanted to explain something, but after seeing Biaoziâs gaze, he swallowed back the words he intended to say, only nodding weakly.
"Alright."
Chen Mang didnât linger long, standing up and looking at Biaozi.
"A new map has been added to the Combat Training Virtual Space, take the team members and clear all the ordinary missions as soon as possible, enhance their physical comprehensive quality as much as possible."
"If you all had been piloting mechas."
"It wouldnât have been this ugly."
