Chapter 219 I'm Running My Own Business
But isn't it uncomfortable for her to place the medal near her armpit and side breast?
"Thank you for your concern, little brother, but if I really encounter a crisis that I can't handle, I won't hold back on this thing." As she spoke, she took out another small ball from the other side of her vest.
“Emergency communication device!” Xue Dinglu immediately recognized the familiar device.
He had used it before in the fairy tale world. Although he had merged with the Evil Eye and didn't have many memories at the time, through the retelling of the fairy tale creatures and the information on the message board, he returned to that time and in an instant, nearly a hundred members of the interstellar column above level 4 rushed over, including many level 5 big shots.
Having this item on your person is equivalent to having the opportunity to summon all members of the Starfleet at once.
He immediately felt relieved, and the senior, using some kind of magic, retracted the not-so-small emergency communication device back into the inside of his vest, and then said, "It's settled then. I also possess a spell called 'Transfiguration,' which allows me to perfectly transform into one of their kind as long as I obtain dragon blood."
"Even a fifth-level apostle won't be able to discover my true identity by then. I'm confident in that." She patted the chest area of her vest, making her chest tremble.
Xue Dalu didn't know if she was just naturally carefree or doing it on purpose.
She even wiped the emergency contact device on her bra, squeezing it and deforming her chest, as if she didn't consider Xue Luding a stranger at all.
Xue Law: "..."
Let's get back to the serious topic.
She had fully mastered the Transfiguration spell, which was more "Druid-like," but looking at her senior's agile figure, which resembled that of a female leopard, and the four long, pointed ears that split off like wings, she even saw those four pointed ears twitch quite a few times during that time.
This shapeshifting ability is probably closer to the natural talent of her original race.
In short, the plan was set: after finding the dragon's blood, the senior would shed his human skin and transform into a dragon, thus infiltrating the dragon race.
Xue's Law investigates intelligence from the perspective of the world's native civilization, which is equivalent to providing backup support and security for the adventurous actions of his predecessors.
Upon seeing this plan, Xue Dinglu immediately understood why his senior wanted to find a partner to conduct the investigation together.
Each of their operations resembled an extreme sport called "cave diving," where each person, carrying their own oxygen tank and guide rope, would plunge into a completely unknown, claustrophobic cave, where any mistake could lead to their death in that confined space.
A partner is someone who provides the two with more room for error and a sense of security in this terrifying claustrophobic cave, reduces psychological pressure, and is also a "comrade-in-arms" who walks side by side with each other and entrusts their lives to one another.
Xue was also extremely grateful that he had an old man accompanying him in almost all his actions, acting as his "partner" and increasing his margin for error and reducing his psychological pressure.
Although the veterans I encountered included those who won by default and those who carried their teams, they all undoubtedly provided Xue's Law with sufficient support and encouragement at the time.
"By the way, senior, you may borrow this Noble Phantasm." Xue Dinglu took off his mask and handed the "Faceless Mask" to his senior.
The senior was taken aback, then silently saw the mask in Xue's hand and his face.
"This treasure can perfectly disguise one's appearance and aura. I've tested it, and even a fifth-tier apostle can't break through its disguise. It will be of great help to you when you infiltrate." Xue Dinglu was also very generous with his own resources.
But when he suddenly saw his senior's ghostly expression, he realized the potential damage he might cause after removing the Faceless Man's mask. Instantly, he conjured up a white mask from the underworld for himself through illusion.
You inherently evil Alaye brat, this blessing that passively increases others' favorability is a complete trap! It's the first time he's ever seen a blessing with only negative effects.
They truly are a collection of human consciousnesses inherently evil.
He had prepared himself to be teased by his senior again, but to his surprise, this time the senior solemnly accepted Xue Dinglu's mask and said, "Thank you. I will bring the information over as soon as possible. If I encounter an emergency, I will ask you for help immediately, and the same goes for you. Don't be reckless, understand?"
She suddenly gave Xue Luding a very serious piece of advice, which left him a little unsure how to respond.
“I don’t want Lot’s (the brave uncle) tragedy to happen again, understand?” she continued, and this time, Xue Dinglu nodded.
It's probably because of the Brave Uncle's situation that the other members of the Star Squadron now usually pair up to carry out missions unless it's particularly urgent. If they can't spare enough people, they might even ask Olivia to find someone she can trust to partner with.
Xue Dinglu nodded and gave the senior access to the Faceless Mask, and the two decided to go their separate ways.
She handed Xue a hand-drawn map, which marked the locations of several recent countries and some large organizations. The map was rough because it was hand-drawn, but the important locations were marked with very detailed information.
It can only be said that the predecessors of the Starship Legion were reliable; even the most unreliable, the brave uncle, was capable of defeating the Shub insectoid race with a single sword strike.
The intelligence gathered and the plans formulated at this stage alone made Xue Law feel as if he were teaming up with an enhanced version of "Odysseus".
If Odysseus had the strength of Hercules, he could probably have played a similar role to his predecessor.
However, he thought that his fellow prisoners in Greece were probably still fighting monsters and cleaning up the remaining fallen mystics and fungal zombies on a parallel planet.
With her senior colleague gone, she began her own infiltration mission.
Xue Luding claimed to be investigating other natives, but he was more of a support staff member. This made him feel a little uncomfortable, as he used to be involved in the entire investigation himself, and also a little bit of the joy of being a lazy, easy-going person.
He could even travel around this post-apocalyptic world like on vacation, because his predecessors had already taken over all the most crucial tasks.
"What do we do next?" the old Demon Emperor finally asked.
He had been listening to Xue Lude's conversation with his senior the whole time, without any intention of interrupting. He only occasionally offered some supplementary information to Xue Lude. It was only after his senior left that he began to speak.
"According to the original plan, let's start investigating the local history. Actually, we're more like logistics support personnel. The so-called investigation of the indigenous history is just a simple task like tourism." Xue Dinglu stretched.
For the first time, he felt relaxed, even to the point of being bored.
When he left the secret room, it was already dark on the planet. Xue's Law roughly estimated the time...
"A day in this world is about 17.5 hours long. I roughly calculated the star orbits, and a year is 287 days. It seems to be a planet relatively close to its star in the habitable zone. Logically speaking, the temperature here should be high, with an average temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius being normal..." Xue Dinglu looked at the starry sky through the hazy atmosphere, calculating the orbit of this world.
The Old Demon Emperor: "..."
This knowledge was beyond the scope of his illiterate syllabus; he had not yet learned the part about calculating orbits and planetary dates based on time and star charts.
"Does nuclear winter really have such an effect? More than three thousand years later, it can still ensure that a planet that should have summer all year round is trapped in permafrost..." Xue Luding silently calculated the model of nuclear winter in his mind.
However, a planet's self-purification ability is extremely powerful. For example, Chernobyl, where a nuclear leak with a power 600 times that of Little Boy caused radiation-induced cancer in hundreds of thousands of people, has now, decades later, reduced the radiation dose in Chernobyl to a level where normal people can enter without getting sick.
Is it possible that, besides nuclear winter, other factors combined to cause this world to fall into perpetual winter?
According to the information provided by the senior, apart from a small part of the equator where the snow melts in the summer and enters a brief spring, the average temperature in other parts of this world is around -20 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, the dominant plant species in this world are coniferous forests that can grow successfully and photosynthesize even in permafrost.
He located the nearest indigenous city on the map and began heading in that direction through the heavy snow.
"What a world of suffering," the old Demon Emperor sighed. Even based solely on Xue's laws and the woman's speculations, he was aware of the world's hardships and suffering.
"Yes, but they are still alive. As long as they are alive, there is hope... And isn't that why we came here?" Xue Dinglu said, his breath coming out thick white mist as he braved the heavy snow.
A shooting star streaked across the sky, as if a speck of dust in the universe had been captured by this planet, leaving a trail across the heavens.
"Shooting star, so beautiful." Xue Dinglu looked in the direction of the shooting star and exclaimed.
He had never seen a real meteor on Earth, but he saw one in another world. He even thought about whether he should use his imagination to materialize a small meteorite at the edge of the atmosphere and play with it as a meteor.
"No, kid, that's not a shooting star, but a life form that fell from the sky! In my perception, it's at least... a mythical level!" The old demon emperor's words came from the consciousness space.
Xue Dinglu was immediately startled. The joy he had just felt upon seeing the shooting star vanished. He immediately looked in the direction of the shooting star and hurried over.
A life falling from the sky... He thought his words had come true, and another primitive life form of a sacred tree seed had descended!
He immediately moved at lightning speed, no longer caring about observing the scenery along the way. He quickly found the place where the meteorite had crashed. Along the way, he also noticed that some indigenous people seemed to be heading towards this place, so he quickened his pace.
They soon arrived at the vicinity of the meteorite crater. This place was originally an uninhabited area, but now, Xue Dinglu was astonished to discover the situation inside the meteorite crater.
A "person" who was completely naked, with dragon wings protruding from her back, whose hands and feet were mostly claws resembling those of a crawling creature, but whose body was mostly humanoid, with scales covering her vital parts, and whose belly appeared to be in a deep "V" shape...
Dragon Girl?
The suspected main villain of this world: the dragons!
Chapter 220 You call this eight months old?
The old Demon Emperor said directly, "Oh, what a coincidence! We were just about to set off when the most mysterious dragon race in the world appeared. It seems we've been discovered."
The water vapor exhaled by Xue Dinglu quickly turned into white mist in the air, and he actually understood what the old Demon Emperor wanted to express.
At their level, they don't believe in coincidences at all. In such situations, they would only think that someone is plotting against them again. After all, they haven't been in this world for long, and they were just speculating about the secrets that the dragon race might be hiding.
Then suddenly a dragon that looked suspicious from the sky descended, and they couldn't believe it was a coincidence.
The dragon girl seemed still dazed, unsure whether the fall from the sky had damaged her brain or whether the atmospheric friction had burned her clothes and her brain away. After landing, she stood with her mouth open, tongue sticking out, staring blankly at Xue Dinglu.
However, as the old demon emperor continued to sense, he was taken aback. Xue Dinglu could be seen with his naked eye to see a substantial question mark appear above his head.
"What's wrong?" Xue asked.
He originally planned to tie up the dragon directly. Although he could tell from her stupid look that she was probably not a threat, Xue Dinglu still intended to extract some information about this world from her. At the very least, he wanted to obtain the language of this world and the language templates of dragons through her for the translation module to refer to.
To Xue Luding's surprise, the old demon emperor's next words took him by surprise.
"In my tests, this child is no more than 8 months old? What's going on?" The old Demon Emperor's pupils revealed deep confusion.
"How is that possible?" Xue Dinglu's face was filled with question marks. Although the little dragon girl opposite him had most of the characteristics of a reptile, judging from the human features alone, she was at least 16 years old.
But now the old demon emperor suddenly said it was 8 months old. Xue Luding stared blankly at the little guy who was almost 1.6 meters tall in the meteorite crater and retorted blankly, "You call this eight months old?"
Just then, Little Dragon Girl seemed to move towards Xue Dinglu's direction, and then said to Xue Dinglu, "Mama~"
Xue Law: "..."
The Old Demon Emperor: "..."
The whole world suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of the howling wind and the rustling of gray snow in the wind remaining.
Seemingly puzzled as to why Xue Luding wasn't reacting, the little dragon girl, sticking out her tongue, tilted her head in confusion and continued to say to Xue Luding, "Mama?"
"Your daughter?" the old Demon Emperor asked in confusion.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! And how could I possibly have such a big daughter? Besides, I'm a human, not a dragon, how could I possibly have a little dragon daughter?" Xue Dinglu immediately launched into a rapid-fire rebuttal with a triple denial.
The old Demon Emperor remained silent, completely unaware of Xue Luding's romantic history and past. He simply stared at Xue Luding with suspicion, wondering if this kid had actually done something that led to an accidental pregnancy with a dragon, resulting in the birth of this little dragon girl.
Now that his daughter arrived in this world immediately after he came into it, it's only natural that he would do so.
"Don't worry, she is indeed only eight months old. This is information transmitted back by magic. There are no spiritual particles in her body older than eight months old; they were all gathered within the last eight months," the old Demon Emperor continued. "And it's normal for someone your age to have an eight-month-old daughter..."
Xue Law: "..."
He has never had any connection with the dragon race. The only connection Xue Dinglu has with dragons now is that he may have stepped on a dinosaur fossil when he was a child.
But what connection do the dinosaurs on Earth have with the dragons in this world?
At this moment, as if convinced of Xue's law, Little Dragon Girl immediately came to Xue's side, opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, continuing to say, "Mama!"
She seemed to only know this one sound, and thus wanted to express all meanings through this one syllable. Therefore, Xue Dinglu immediately believed that this was a baby who was only eight months old.
Although, no matter how you look at it, a normal height of nearly 1.6 meters seems completely mismatched for an eight-month-old baby.
Then I saw her come over and grab Xue Dinglu's hand, pulling it back and forth.
Xue Luding couldn't figure out what she was trying to do at all. To him, the dragon brat's instinctive reaction left him completely bewildered.
"She's hungry and thirsty, and she's opening her mouth to beg you to feed her. This seems to be an instinctive habit of their race. When they don't have the ability to hunt on their own, they pray to their elders for food and water..." the old demon king explained.
Xue Law: "..."
Isn't this a habit unique to some birds? Some birds just keep their mouths open, begging their mothers for insects. If they don't get any, they just keep following their mothers, opening their mouths and pawing at them.
How come this thing's habits are exactly the same as birds'?
Xue immediately took out a bottle of mineral water and a clinical medicine book from his consciousness space. He then turned the clinical medicine textbook into a thick loaf of bread filled with knowledge and gently fed the mineral water to Xiaolongniang.
When the first drop of water was poured into her mouth, the little dragon girl seemed to widen her squinty eyes, and then immediately grabbed the mineral water and chugged it down. She threw the plastic bottle into the meteorite crater, then saw the bread in Xue Luding's hand. Her wide eyes blinked and she opened her mouth again, as if waiting for Xue Luding to feed her.
Xue Daolu silently tore a small piece of bread from his hand and put it into Long Niang's mouth. She seemed to light up, and with Xue Daolu's permission, she accepted the clinical medical bread and began to eat it in big bites.
Looking at her like this, Xue Luding suddenly began to believe that she was an 8-month-old baby, and given her bird-like behavior, he might just be called "mama" simply because he was the first creature she saw when she opened her eyes.
So naturally, the little dragon, who had just opened his eyes, thought he was her mother...
Thinking about this, Xue Lude felt complicated. If it were a real dragon, Xue Lude wouldn't mind doing an Asian bondage and then extracting the necessary information from her.
But looking at the little girl squatting on the ground, munching on bread like a starving ghost, as if she were treating the bread as her imaginary enemy, tearing at it like a husky tearing at a slipper, Xue Dinglu was speechless.
"It seems she really isn't your daughter, but rather it's a characteristic of their race. They seem to mistake the first creature they see for their mother, and then rely on her to survive. This is a fundamental code written into their race." The old Demon Emperor analyzed the dragon girl's behavior and then drew his own conclusion.
Xue's Law also saw it, but what do they do now?
And in the dead of winter, the little dragon was completely naked, with only a few scales covering the corresponding parts of his body, his navel and chest completely exposed to the wind and snow.
Xue Dinglu glanced at her figure, then conjured a thick trench coat, like a large cotton quilt, and draped it over the little dragon girl who was still eating bread.
Little Dragon Girl didn't seem to resist. She was eating bread with one hand, and her other scaly claw didn't mind Xue Luding putting it into the cotton quilt and clothes. Then, when her little hand came out from inside the coat, Xue Luding did the same thing and put her other hand inside as well.
He gently touched the wings behind her and found that they were soft, probably still just cartilage. The bones in the wings hadn't hardened yet, which further confirmed the old Demon Emperor's claim that she was just an infant.
Through the use of imagination, sleeves were added to the original wing positions of the coat, the small wings were tucked into the sleeves, and finally the zipper was pulled down. In this way, the little dragon girl was now dressed in a winter coat that looked like a thick quilt.
Although it was just changing the child's clothes, Xue Dinglu felt exhausted. They still hadn't made any progress in their investigation of this world, and suddenly an eight-month-old baby appeared out of nowhere beside them.
He always felt that the world consciousness of this world was playing tricks on him. It wanted to convey some message to Xue Lude through this little dragon girl who fell from the sky. After all, it was all too coincidental. Xue Lude had just arrived in this world when she fell from the sky and landed not far from where he was.
Before he could dwell on it any longer, he heard the soft rustling of footsteps in the snow outside the crater, as well as the sounds of conversations and dialogues from many creatures.
