New World, Dragon's Recess

"Paji!"

An oval-shaped worm with a black shell was cut in half, and juice spurted from the cut.

The weapon that killed the insect was a long sword with a yellow blade; in the hunter community, this type of weapon is called a katana.

The blade of this sword is covered with serrated patterns. It is the Nergigante Blade, made from materials from the Nergigante Dragon, and it is wielded by Azure Star, who is wearing the Nergigante Dragon armor set.

“I’ve never seen these insects before.” Azure Star sheathed her katana and looked at the insects lying dead all around. These insects were completely unable to adapt to the ecology of the Elder’s Recess.

“After you dealt with the Steel Dragon last time, the Elder's Recess became much quieter.” The strong man with thick golden hair walked up to Azure Star. “But these bugs suddenly appeared.”

The man who looks like a golden gorilla is the leader of the research team. He followed the last traces of the Lava Dragon and found this place where dragons crystallize.

Azure Star took a sample from an insect and put it into a sample container. The insect's shell was not very tough for hunters and its defense against monsters was also weak.

“I don’t know how they got to the New World, but their ecological adaptability is too poor.” The Grand Master examined the corpse of an insect that had clearly been crushed by a monster. “It’s as if they weren’t born in our world.”

"Just like that red-clad, frivolous guy?" Azure Star thought of the white-haired man she had encountered before who called himself a demon hunter.

"Hahaha, it could also be something from one of your chat group members." The guild leader laughed heartily; the man named Dante got along quite well with him.

"It's possible. I'll send the sample back to the scholars and ask the group members while I'm at it." After taking a picture using the chat group's built-in function, Azure Star got up and left.

Azure Star: Strange bugs have appeared here. Do you see any on your end? (Image.JPG)

Kearsarge: Never seen it before. By the way, do you have milk where you live? I heard that babies grow faster if they are fed milk.

Reno: I've never seen this kind of Zerg. I have milk, but I've never heard of feeding them milk making them grow faster.

Azure Star: Milk can improve physical condition; I drank something similar when I was a child.

Renault: I've never drunk it, but I've seen industrial dairy products. If I hadn't fought wars on several agricultural planets, I wouldn't even know that cows existed.

Kearsarge: No cattle were found in the Genesis gene bank.

Kilsager: I'm not human, so I don't need to eat.

Azure Star: No wonder you made us grill the meat ourselves last time.

Renault: What's your vegetable cake called?

Kilsager: That's for feeding the agate snails...

Renault: So that's animal feed!?

The conversation quickly veered off-topic, with the three of them engaging in a heated discussion about food.

Lungmen, the rooms the Guard Bureau provided for the Rhodes Island crew to rest in.

Amiya felt a little dizzy after listening to the entire conversation between Chen Huijie and Wei Wuyan. Although the outcome seemed to be good, it seemed that Inspector Chen and Governor Wei had fallen out.

Just then, a large hand patted Amiya's head. It was the Doctor. Amiya looked up at the Doctor. She couldn't see his expression, but she could feel his concern for her.

"Doctor, it seems that Commander Chen and Governor Wei have some...unpleasantness?" Amiya couldn't think of a way to describe the relationship between Chen Huijie and Wei Wuyan.

“Inspector Chen did what she thought was right, and Governor Wei also did what he thought was right.” The doctor secretly rubbed Amiya’s rabbit ears. “Outsiders can’t interfere in their relationship, unless, they are not outsiders.”

While the doctor was talking to Amiya, Chen Huijie pushed open the door and entered. She said bluntly, "The informant discovered the presence of the Reunion Movement in an abandoned area of ​​Chernobog."

Seeing that no one responded, Chen Huijie continued, "Your Dr. Kal'tsit's investigation team has lost contact, and she is recalling you."

"I understand." Upon hearing that a member was out of contact, Amiya immediately stood up. "We'll go back right away."

"The Guard Bureau can't be of much help this time, but getting you back to Rhodes Island as soon as possible shouldn't be a problem." Chen Huijie stepped aside, gesturing for the Rhodes Island crew to depart.

The Rhodes Island group went outside, where several Guard Bureau vehicles were already parked. Chen Huijie helped everyone into the cars.

"Thank you, Officer Chen." Amiya, the last one to board the car, sincerely thanked Chen Huijie.

"You're welcome. It's good for everyone if you can find out the situation there sooner," Chen Huijie replied with a smile. "And I have high hopes for you, Amiya."

"You have faith in me?" Amiya pointed to herself incredulously. "I'm not mature enough yet."

“I have a feeling that the nations of Terra will change because of you,” Chen Huijie said gently to Amiya.

She then waved to the lead car in the convoy, and the officers inside nodded in response.

"The Road Guard Bureau has cleared the area for you. We hope you can bring good news," Chen Huijie said calmly to the doctor.

After realizing that Chen Huijie was referring to herself, the doctor nodded to her.

"Hey Hoshiguma, I bet the dragon has fallen for that little Caster." Swire secretly started gossiping as she watched Chen Huijie standing still.

Hoshiguma watched Chen Huijie standing there even after the convoy had driven far away and couldn't help but wonder, "Old Chen, you haven't really gone gay, have you?"

Chen Huijie, who was browsing the chat group, suddenly felt a chill. She turned around and saw Shi Huaiya looking at her with ill intentions. She had no intention of arguing with her.

She had just seen the picture of Azure Star, and she recognized the creature in it—it was an Originium Bug!

Chen Huijie: Those are Originium bugs. Nothing happened where you are, right? @AzureStar

Azure Star: ?

Azure Star: Oh, another time traveler. It's alright, it's just that the insects are extinct.

Chen Huijie: Huh?

Chen Huijie's lips twitched. She remembered that the special thing about Originium Bugs was that they could never be completely killed. Now, Azure Star said that Originium Bugs were extinct.

Chen Huijie: What kind of hellish environment is that?

Azure Star: It's nothing, just a bit more ancient dragons.

Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a miracle if a group of Originium Bugs, a gathering place for mobile natural disasters, could survive there. Those that survived there were all chosen by nature.

Azure Star: We often have strange things crossing over here, it's good that nothing's happening where you are.

Chen Huijie: We haven't seen anything yet. I'll have Kearsarge look around later.

Chen Huijie: I'm currently tied up with the Guard Bureau. Could you check out that abandoned area for me? @Kirsage

Kilsager: OK.

Azure Star: If you're asking what we can't find here...

Azure Star: Oh crap, the Lava Dragon isn't with you guys, is it?!

Chen Huijie: What?! A Lava Dragon?!

Outside Longmen, in the wilderness, a truck with a penguin pattern on it speeds along the road.

"Hey Texas, what did Officer Chen ask us to transport this time?" The red-haired Sakura Exusiai, with a halo above her head and shattered wings of light behind her, asked the gray-haired Lupa who was driving the car, with her legs crossed.

“Don’t ask about your employer’s things, and don’t be curious about Chen Huijie either,” Texas replied. “Unless you want to go back to the Guard Bureau’s cell.”

"Ah! She actually locked me up in jail last time!" Exusiai felt bad just thinking about the 15-day imprisonment she suffered last time. All she did was speed a bit and have a few gunfights in Lungmen. No one died.

Texas remained silent. That time, not only did her boss's arrival fail, but Governor Wei's attempt to bail her out was also rejected by Chen Huijie. In the end, it was Madam Wen Yue who released her.

She had considered a forced escape, but for some reason, Officer Chen gave her a sense of oppression, like facing a giant beast.

"Wow, Texas, look, there's a mountain!" The optimistic Exusiai spotted a mountain in the distance, and soon noticed that it seemed to be shaking.

"Why is that mountain going up and down?" Exusiai asked Texas, puzzled. "Is the car shaking?"

“No.” Texas glanced at the surrounding rocks, her eyes sharpening. The “mountain” wasn’t far from their path. “Sit tight, Exusiai!”

Before Exusia could reply, Texas turned the steering wheel to the right, and the truck drove off the road.

During a bumpy ride, Exusiai, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, felt herself being shaken around. Just as she was about to scold Texas for not driving properly, she looked up and saw that "mountain".

Four legs, like towering pillars, propelled it forward. Lava covered the road it traversed, and the smell of sulfur poured in through the open windows. If you got close, you could almost hear its thunderous breathing.

"What is this?" Exusiai felt like she couldn't breathe, while Texas felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

The crater was constantly spewing lava, and the rising black smoke slowly obscured the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"This is a natural disaster!"
