Chapitre 35: The Strong Preys on the Weak
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Having decided on the direction, Yu Guang set off. He turned around and returned to the igloo. He knocked down an ice block facing the east and used an even thinner ice block to make up for it so that he could see the movements outside at any time.
Then, Yu Guang sat cross-legged in the middle of the igloo and activated his power once again.
The igloo suddenly rose to a height that was as thick as a dictionary. Then, a shocking scene appeared! The igloo was like a beetle, gliding rapidly towards the east, leaving behind a thin layer of ice crystals wherever it passed. It glided forward at an extremely fast speed. It was so smooth that there wasn't a single bump. The bait solution placed inside it did not have a single ripple.
Yu Guang opened up an ice and snow passage exclusively for it, gliding towards the depths of the blazing mystic realm.
Right at this moment, Cui Anyu, who was rushing over, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if something was being pulled out. It was not an intense pain, but her heart began to feel empty.
A cold chill suddenly rose up and spread throughout her body, almost causing the ice armor covering her body to lose control. Cui Anyu quickly calmed her mind and calmed her restless talent.
She was horrified to find that she could no longer sense Yu Guang's position!
If there was an invisible thread between her and Yu Guang previously, the closer Cui Anyu was to Yu Guang, the tighter the thread became. But now, she was at a loss as she looked around. The thread that had been cut was scattered all over the place. She could no longer find Yu Guang!
"What should I do?" Cui Anyu gritted her teeth, removing all distracting thoughts as she tried to sense Yu Guang's location again.
However, the other party seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Cui Anyu anxiously spun around on the spot twice. Could it be that Yu Guang had been attacked by a demonic beast? Or had he collapsed due to a lack of water? Or was the connection just an illusion, and he had completely lost contact with Yu Guang from the start?
There were countless unknown possibilities in unknown places. There was only one good news, and there were all kinds of bad news.
Cui Anyu stood uneasily. She thought for a moment and caught the true eye bug hovering in the air. She said to the camera, "Captain Lu, Yu Guang suddenly disappeared. I can't find him. See if you can contact him or develop a communication function for the true eye bug. I saw a speaker hole on the machine's head."
She shouted at the people outside. Everyone's gaze was focused on Captain Lu.
At this moment, he was holding his chin. It was obvious he was thinking seriously about Cui Anyu's question. "In the past, when we developed the true eye bug, we did consider installing a communication function. But as you know, there aren't many parts that can be installed within a small worm body. We haven't been able to solve this problem."
The plan at the time was to separate the communication function and make it into a separate part. However, the Beastmasters Association's Research Room, which spearheaded the research, decided to install them together.
"It's still undergoing research, so we'll have to keep trying and making mistakes in actual combat to improve it," Captain Lu explained.
Le Tai asked, "Since the true eye bug's signal can be transmitted, can we control the true eye bug remotely, or send our words to them through the reverse output of the signal?"
"Theoretically, yes. After all, the true eye bug has a speaker hole," Captain Lu said truthfully.
Both sides valued their talents. They were very worried about Yu Guang's disappearance.
"Then let's give it a try! Tell them what we saw. At least give them a direction," Le Tai suggested.
Although the six people in the mystic realm could not communicate with each other, the people outside could act as the communication center.
"Theoretically, yes, but there are no researchers in our team right now."
After all, the talents of researchers were all in the brain. They could not even compete with a cheerleading team in the wild.
"Then contact the headquarters! Let them send a good technician first!" Ke Zhen saw that the two people could not get to the main point after a long time, so he urged loudly, "They can arrive here in ten minutes by air transport!"
After all, Yu Guang was a rare genius. If he were to meet with an accident during this operation, everyone present would feel sorry for him. It was one thing to be jealous, but it was another thing to wish for his death.
"Then I..."
"Then I'll contact the headquarters."
Ke Zhen continued Captain Lu's words. He felt that it was best to come personally in an emergency since he felt that everyone would be taking their time.
…
Inside the mystic realm.
Cui Anyu held the true eye bug and waited for a moment. The bug tilted its head and moved the camera lens, but there was no other response. She was sure that the people outside had received the message, but as to when they would respond, she could only leave it to time.
Waiting could not solve the problem. Cui Anyu composed herself and walked in the direction that she had planned.
Deep in the mystic realm, the magma was rolling like a vast ocean. The bubbling bubbles rose from the bottom and then exploded on the surface, splashing onto the stone wall. The bright red light was so bright that it hurt the eyes.
There were stone pillars of different heights standing in the magma. The palm-sized place was the only foothold. Yu Guang stood alone on the highest peak. The rolling hot air rose from the bottom and fluttered the ends of his clothes and hair.
The high temperature far exceeded the endurance of the human body. If one looked carefully, one would find a faint blue color floating on Yu Guang's skin, like a layer of fine scales protecting his body.
This was the highest temperature and the most dangerous place in the entire secret realm. So far, no human had ever reached this place.
Yu Guang looked down and saw an ant that was as strong as a calf crawling out from behind a stone pillar. Its swaying tentacles seemed to be beckoning. This kind of ant was called the giant fire ant. Its body was covered in a hard shell that could not be broken by a knife or an axe.
It crawled on top of the stone pillar and glared at Yu Guang. Suddenly, it bent its six legs and leaped into the air at him!
Yu Guang looked at it with pity. He did not dodge.
The next moment, a huge sickle was placed between the light and the giant fire ant. The teeth on the blade were as sharp as ivory. It pierced through the abdomen of the giant fire ant.
A huge triangular head was raised. It was a Crimson Red Mantis.
It clung to the stone pillar under its bare feet and began to gnaw on the giant ant in front of Yu Guang. The cracking sounds made people's teeth ache, as if the sawtooth had been pulled from an iron plate.
Yu Guang's expression did not change. He squatted down and began to study the structure of the Crimson Red Mantis's mouth.
At this moment, a gust of wind flashed past above his head. The wind was blowing with scorching heat. When it passed through his ears, he seemed to hear cracking sounds.
A Burning Red Falcon swooped down and grabbed the Red Flame Mantis's head with its sharp claws. Its huge wings, which covered the sky, flapped twice. The Red Flame Mantis, which was enjoying its food, did not have time to react. It could only use its remaining feet to cling tightly to the stone pillar.
Kacha! Kacha!
The stone pillar under its feet trembled violently. Eventually, the tug-of-war between the two behemoths ended with the stone pillar shattering.
Yu Guang quickly changed the position of the stone pillar and placed it on the ground. With a thump, the shattered stone fell into the magma. He raised his head and watched the Burning Red Falcon leave with its prey in its mouth. He shook his head regretfully at them.
