Star Iron: The Past and Present Life of the Gender-Swapped Dragon Lord

On the way back, March 7th was panting heavily with his tongue sticking out, completely lacking any decorum, while Qiong beside him was also panting and slowly moving forward.

Danheng and Danheng exchanged a glance, then quietly walked over to Bronya, who was looking down and deep in thought.

After considering it over in her mind again, Shuangdan began her performance.

Dan Heng: "Sigh... This trip was really exhausting, and we haven't found anything yet."

Dan Heng: "It can't be said that we gained nothing; at least we still have these heavy weapons and equipment."

Danheng: "Wow! With so many, you must be able to forge a lot more equipment, right?"

Dan Heng: "I'm not a professional, but I should be able to have a positive impact on the situation in Belleburg."

Danheng: "Great! It's new equipment! We're saved!"

Dan Heng:......

This line doesn't seem to be in the script.

Amid the quiet (and somewhat deafening) discussion between the two Danes, Bronya's shoulders trembled slightly before she continued walking forward with her head down.

Goal achieved!

Danheng and Danheng exchanged a smile, then silently shut their mouths and followed forward.

A seed of doubt, once planted, will one day take root and sprout.

Even those who dare not and do not want to doubt.

"Wait! Something's happened!"

Just as Danheng stealthily crept up to March 7th and Qiong and used the Cloud Chant spell to restore their strength, Bronya stopped in her tracks, raised her arm, and a musket with a bayonet was in her hand.

"Sure enough."

Danheng and Danheng exchanged a glance across the three months.

"...Then the journey ahead won't be so easy."

March 7th's gaze shifted to Dan Heng, and after seeing Dan Heng nod in deep agreement, he fell into self-doubt.

March 7: ...

No, I don't understand what you're saying?

Why am I out of touch?

We're not stupid! Himeko even praised us for being smart.

But the situation was urgent, and March 7 had to stop her brilliant mind, which had an IQ of over 2000, and instead raise her compound bow to prepare for battle.

As the main combatants, Danheng and Danheng stood guard on the left and right sides of the front, while Qiong also held a baseball bat, eager to try.

The reason is simple: the creation of the rift appeared in such a narrow, corridor-like terrain.

An ice crystal from outer space appeared swaying in front of them, and upon discovering them, it instantly unleashed an extremely strong hostility.

"We must finish this quickly! Otherwise, we'll attract even more Rift Creations!"

Bronya gave a low shout and pulled the trigger. Bullets flew from her pistol and struck the outer shell of the outer cosmic ice fiercely.

Seeing this, Dan Heng didn't hesitate. The yin-yang symbol on his Strike Cloud Spear spun, alternating between black and pure white. The powerful hunting force landed on the ice of the outer universe with Strike Cloud, killing it instantly.

"Let's withdraw!"

Bronya hurriedly tried to lead the group to run away, but then she heard Dan Heng's soft voice.

"No, it's too late."

"They...they've all come."

As the words fell, their steps halted, and five different pairs of eyes reflected the same thing:

The Rift Creatures were so densely packed that they blocked all their paths in and out.

……

Meanwhile, in Belleburg and Cripperburg.

Cocolia flipped through the various documents on the table, her brows furrowed.

"Hmph! Let them make a fuss for a few more days."

Frustrated, Cocolia tossed the file aside and noticed that more and more blue ice crystals were forming on her hands.

Blue ice crystals stubbornly protruded from the contact surface between the glove and skin on the arm, radiating an alluring glow under the sunlight.

Cocolia's purple pupils reflected beautiful blue ice crystals, and the purple light in her eyes was even more captivating under the reflection of the blue ice crystals.

"New world..."

"Great Guardian!"

As Cocolia muttered to herself, an official rushed into Cripper Castle, interrupting her reverie.

"Big……"

Cocolia suddenly raised her head, and her cold, purple-glowing gaze made the official tremble, causing him to quickly lower his head.

The official's legs trembled involuntarily at the cold, indifferent gaze, as if looking at an insignificant dead person.

But Cocolia's gaze quickly returned to normal.

Although it was still cold, at least it didn't have that extreme indifference.

"What's the matter?"

Cocolia's indifferent voice came from above the official's head, which made the official suppress his fear and begin to report the matter.

"Reporting to the Great Guardian, the people you instructed me to keep an eye on have been in the Rift for almost two and a half hours. Should we send out Iron Guards to meet them?"

The official spoke cautiously, as if afraid of offending the Great Guardian.

These days, finding a stable, secure job isn't easy.

"No."

Cocolia rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.

"Those people are exceptionally skilled; they probably don't need our help."

Seemingly afraid of arousing suspicion, Cocolia paused for half a second and added a sentence.

This……

Aren't you even going to make a show of it?

Even though the official felt uncomfortable, he hesitated for a moment before nodding and obeying his superior.

"Then... this subordinate will take his leave."

Having finished his report, the official muttered something under his breath and walked out of Cripper Castle.

Just as he was about to leave, Cocolia's voice reached his ears once again.

"Oh, right, go find Bronya and tell her I have something to talk to her about."

"Yes."

The heavy, thick doors of Cripper Castle closed once more, plunging the High Warden's office back into darkness and silence.

"..."

"I've already lured them into the Rift, so it would be a mistake if we didn't succeed this time."

"..."

"Isn't it because I happened to save the army that my original plan couldn't proceed?"

"..."

Cocolia felt the voice in her mind pause for a moment, then disappear completely.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you promise a new world..."

Cocolia was once again in a state of ecstasy, completely unaware that the ice crystals on her arm were becoming increasingly dense and protruding.

Ice crystals have begun to climb onto my forearm and are gradually spreading to my upper arm.

"No...something terrible has happened, Lady Cocolia!"

A flustered figure stumbled into Cripper Castle.

Before Cocolia could even utter a rebuke, words that made her heart clench rang out in Clipper Castle.

"Bronya led her, and she went into the Rift with her!"
