Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 224: Think of a way

After two months of training in the Source Beast City, Yuanze basically had a clear understanding of the situation here.

"There's nothing more to inquire about next."

"No, you are now number one on the Rising Star List, and you have come into contact with many high-level source beasts. You have also seen the King of Source Beasts several times."

Yuanze looked at the sunset thoughtfully as it fell below the horizon, then sat up with his hands on the ground:
"Looking back now, I still find it a little unbelievable that a powerful being like the King of Source Beasts didn't see through my disguise."

"Maybe he's old? Or maybe he thinks it's impossible for humans to get in? Could it be that he did it on purpose?"

"You are probably going to make me laugh to death. What good is it for the King of Source Beasts to deliberately make me his heir?"

"Then think about how to escape from this place now?"

Yuanze turned his head back and saw a figure flashing by. He asked Astra helplessly.

"As soon as you leave the academy, Ruifeng will find a way to keep an eye on you. Otherwise..."

Astra made a throat-cutting gesture, hoping that Yuanze would handle this matter more decisively.

"Just don't come out and stand out. If you're seen, it will be very troublesome to explain."

"Hmph, if you don't think of a solution, someone will help you find one!" Astra pouted and disappeared angrily.

Yuanze heard a strange sound of someone crying for help from behind, but he didn't sense anything. When he turned around, he saw a guy in a black cloak leaving.

He shook his cloak and threw Ruifeng to Yuanze.

Yuanze frowned, and his first reaction was to chase the guy in the black cloak.

But where is his shadow?
Ruifeng's intercom was still calling Ruifeng, asking her if she had been attacked.

Unexpectedly, Astra's words came true.

Yuanze's heart tightened. Time was running out and every second could expose his whereabouts.

He quickly glanced around and made sure that no one was paying attention. Then he hid Ruifeng secretly in an inconspicuous corner and turned off her walkie-talkie.

"Plans have to change."

Yuanze quickly sorted out the known information in his mind and gradually came up with a plan.

First of all, he has the source beast energy hidden in his body, which allows him to transform for a short period of time and disguise himself as some kind of source beast in the city.

Secondly, he also needs to create chaos to attract the guards' attention, so as to find an opportunity to escape in the chaos.

Then, tonight, more source beasts will go out of the city to perform missions, and he will use disguise to blend into the team.

Finally, after leaving the city, take the opportunity to find an opportunity to escape.

He asked Astra to send a delayed voice message through technical means, pretending that she was still moving around normally in the city.

As night fell, the City of Origin Beasts gradually fell into silence. Only a few patrols were still active, and the sporadic footsteps were particularly clear in the silence.

Yuan Ze knew that this was a rare opportunity. He used the cover of night and Astra's destruction of the system to cleverly avoid all surveillance and guards.

Every time he moved, he was like an invisible wind, silently shuttling between the shadows and gradually approaching the city wall.

At the edge of the city wall, Yuanze stopped and held his breath.

He took a deep breath and activated the latent energy of the source beast in his body. This energy flowed through his body like a trickle, gradually spreading throughout his body.

As the energy surged, Yuanze's body began to undergo subtle changes: his hair became rough, his skin gradually became dark and shiny, and even his aura changed.

This change was not just a disguise on the outside, but a complete transformation from the inside out. He asked Astra to extract the behavior patterns of these extraordinary source beasts and imitate every detail of them to ensure impeccable performance.

After the transformation was completed, Yuanze blended into the group of source beasts that were about to leave the city to carry out a mission.

This group of source beasts were sent to carry out an external mission. Yuanze was mixed among them, calmly observing the movements around him.

He deliberately walked a little slower to let other source beasts pass first to reduce the risk of being noticed.

Just as I was about to step out of the city gate, a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit me.

Yuanze was startled and almost stopped, but he quickly controlled himself and continued to hide himself carefully.

For some reason, the King of Source Beasts suddenly appeared on the city wall. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all disguises, staring directly at every Source Beast that left.

Yuanze felt an invisible pressure, as if his whole body was firmly fixed by the gaze of the King of Source Beasts.

Even so, he still maintained a calm pace without revealing the slightest flaw.

Genze's heartbeat quickened, the tension hanging like a taut string in his body, but he did not back down, only strengthened his resolve.

He knew that any fear or hesitation would only lead to destruction.

The King of Source Beasts had a sharp gaze, but it did not stay on Yuanze for too long.

Finally, Yuanze stepped out of the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, he quickened his pace and quietly left the entire team at a corner.

Just when he thought he had gotten away with it, an alarm sounded in the city.

"It seems that Ruifeng's matter has been discovered. You have to speed up." Astra hacked into part of the system, and the last surveillance footage showed that Ruifeng's body had been found.

Yuanze's wisdom and experience were brought to the extreme at this moment.

He quickly moved forward along a secret passage leading to the nearest mechanical city. The secret passage was winding and was his only hope.

However, just as Yuanze was about to leave the territory controlled by the Source Beast City, the figure of the Source Beast King suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

The king's powerful pressure enveloped Yuanze, making him feel that there was nowhere to escape.

"Do you think you can get away with this?"

Yuan Ze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew he had no way out and his only choice was to face this powerful opponent head-on.

"I am not a traitor," Yuan Ze looked directly into the eyes of the King of Source Beasts, his tone firm and calm, "I just chose my own path."

"I know you are not a source beast. I knew it the first time I saw you!"

Yuan Ze frowned, which puzzled him:
"Then why don't you just kill me? Why did you let me stay in here for so long and learn so many secrets?"

But the King of Source Beasts is not a ruthless tyrant. He has a deep respect for courage and wisdom.

Therefore, Yuanze had to take a gamble to gain a glimmer of hope:
"Let's have a fight, and if you win you let me go."

The King of Source Beasts looked at Yuanze calmly, unable to detect any emotion from him at all.

This made him realize how big the gap was between himself and the King of Source Beasts. Even though the King of Source Beasts was already very old, he was afraid that he might not be able to defeat him in one match.

"I admire your courage. We can have a fight."

Wang's mumbling made Yuanze even more confused, and he could only wait for him to propose conditions.

I can't think of any way to win.
