Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 419: This is a Trap!
“12 August 899 A.D. ”
“This mission is going into the depths of Skeletal Dragon Star, so the Spark is in a maintenance base on the Orbital Circle of Starscream, underground modifications are being made on a large scale, with a large number of underground diving modules, and reinforced enclosures that are resistant to high temperatures and pressures. ”
“What annoys me is that the main cannon of the Spark, the Tianlong Star Penetrator, has to be transformed into an oversized light-energy rock crusher. To be blunt, it is a large drill bit made of brown light! ”
“The Spark will be drilled deep into the ground by means of the main gun-modified Xuan Guang drill bit! ”
“The Spark is the most advanced multi-purpose assault ship in the Imperial Army, and it has been frequently modified. Many battleships of the same rank have been converted to chaos in the past. I used to laugh at my comrades on those ships before, but I didn't think it was my turn today. ”
“I, the main gunner of the old Liwei wind, manipulated the Tianlong through the star guns with one full blow, even the demon emperor has a chance to shell! ”
“But today, we have to learn to manipulate the Xuan Guang drill bit and creep underground like earthworms. If we knew that, we should have stayed in the Phantom Moon. ”
“August 15, 899 A.D. ”
“The task was urgent, just completed the modification, and we couldn't wait to make a star jump and appear in the gravitational circle of Skeletal Dragon Star. ”
“The expedition took away the best refiners in the empire and left behind a group of tripod cats who converted the Spark into a pile of garbage, apparently with only a few underground diving modules, but clashed with the star jumping system. ”
“Many people on board were affected by the after-effects of the shattered void, throwing up and falling down, and the serious ones caught fire. ”
“Fortunately, 'rupture' is a common disease on the battlefield, and we stayed in orbit for half a day to regain combat capability. ”
“According to intelligence, the planet before us is most likely one of the caves of the ‘skeletal dragon demons' of the most powerful demons 30,000 years ago, in the early Great Dark Ages. ”
“It seems that the demonic remnants of the defenceless demons are trying to dig up a lot of treasures from the demonic powerful 30,000 years ago. ”
“Will we give them what they want? ”
“August 16, 899 A.D. ”
“On the skeletal dragon star, we encountered an unprecedented wave, and deep in the sea lived an unprecedented horrible spiritual beast, as if it were a mixture of armored demonic beasts and soft demonic beasts, with sturdy armor growing on even huge tentacles. ”
“Our main guns have been converted into Xuan Guang drill bits with no ability to attack remotely at all, and the rest of the secondary guns have been bombarded by the spiritual beast, completely tickling it. ”
“The wave outside is too intense, we have limited manpower, and the captain is not willing to release Jing Jian to fight easily, in case he damages several armorers, greatly to the detriment of subsequent actions. ”
“At the end of the day, I thought of a way for the captain to maneuver the Spark and hit this bastard so hard, and I activated the Glaucoma drill bit at the moment of the impact, and all of a sudden drilled a huge hole more than 50 meters in diameter on this bastard, and then directly attacked it with a cannon inside its five dirty sixes, drilling it alive! ”
“Ha, I didn't expect that after being converted into a drill bit, Tianlong would still be as powerful and refreshing as a star gun! ”
“We cut the body tissue of some giant beasts back and analyzed it, and its cell structure and the circuits in which demons can flow within cells are very different from the demons of today, some of them like the ancient demons of 30,000 years ago. ”
“We analyze that it is very likely that 30,000 years ago, Skeletal Dragon Demon brought to this planet a demonic beast, after the demise of Skeletal Dragon Demon family, intelligence slowly degenerated, and became intelligent again, only the spiritual beast of survival instinct. ”
“In this way, the possibility of a skeleton dragon cave on this planet has increased considerably. ”
“Stars, 17 August 899. ”
“We searched for an enormous ruin, and countless columns of heaven and earth bound the skeleton of an immense demonic beast, which should be an ancient restraint, perhaps used by the Dragon Clan of Skeletons to torture enemies and traitors. ”
“Not far from the ruins, there is a great rift valley that runs all the way down to the ground. To save energy, we first opened the Spark deep into the ground and built a temporary landing site on the rock wall, which drilled into the center of the earth at a slightly inclined angle. ”
“The surface of the skeletal dragon star is desolate and barren, but the underground world is incredibly rich. The spiritual veins of the planet, mostly semi-liquid in nature, form a spiritual liquid dark river and a spiritual ocean beneath which innumerable beasts and celestial treasures thrive. ”
“In the afternoon, we encountered small-scale harassment by the demons and, after a brief encounter, we caught a prisoner. ”
“Hundreds of years after the war, the demonic tribe has long lost its arrogant hegemony during the height of the Demonic Beast Empire. It took little effort to pry his mouth and extract a lot of intelligence. ”
“Our analysis is correct, it is a group of leaking fish who escaped during the battle over the Phantom Moon, and they inadvertently discovered a cave on Skeletal Dragon Star, because all the stars around us are surrounded by us, and there is nowhere to escape, simply to throw a single shot, to find a first line of life here. ”
“Stars, 18 August 899. ”
“This demonic wreck, after a strong crossbow, was soon completely destroyed by us, and even the last demonic battleship was sunk. ”
“We also discovered an unprecedented underground world and an infinitely powerful underground ocean! ”
“The magnitude of this underground world, which is completely beyond the limits of geological formations, should be supported by some ancient method. ”
“Fixing the real world is incredible. In ancient times, we didn't know how many secrets, magic talents were hidden, waiting for us to discover them. ”
“I kind of like manipulating giant drill bits and drilling underneath. ”
“The skeletal dragon demon's lair, deep in the earth's ocean, is nestled in an ancient town, a giant conical building in the middle, which should be the cave. ”
“We sailed to it to prepare for the most thorough study. ”
“August 19, 899 A.D. ”
“We were so wrong! It's a trap! An endless trap! ”
“August 23, 899 A.D. ”
“We're fucked. ”
“The overall damage to the Spark reached 83 per cent, with the vast majority of core structures scrapped in heavy warfare, leaving essentially only one empty shell. ”
“The main control crystal brain has been damaged by 95%; the star jump system has been damaged by 91%; the superstar communication system has been damaged by 93%; twenty-four active arrays have exploded by twenty-two, and we are stranded on a seabed completely trapped deep in the skeletal dragon star. ”
“Don't say that you can't even send a signal to the nearest base by breaking up the void and jumping in the stars. ”
“Seventy per cent of the crew died and those who survived, including myself, were seriously injured and unable to escape from the warship. ”
“Three former baby monks, captains, first mates and stargazers all crashed. ”
“Even if the manipulation system is barely repaired, it will not be possible to manipulate the Spark flexibly until it has undergone three to six months of training by the 'Spirit Ship'. ”
“The crystal brain is severely damaged and we are unable to detect the torch accurately because of the loss of the viewer. ”
“Even if we fix the sky jump system and barely jump, the ghost knows where to send us. ”
“But if it hadn't been for the sacrifice of the three former infant monks, we would have died without a burial place, even to a more dreadful end. ”
“Of those who survived, my rank was the highest, and I served as interim captain in accordance with Imperial Army regulations. ”
“Fortunately, we and the basement agreed to send out contact signals every five days, and if we don't receive a signal two or three times, the base should send a new crystalline warship to search for us. ”
“This idea reassures me a little, sending someone to fix the Spark and think about what happened to us. ”
“There is no doubt that the so-called cave house on Skeletal Dragon Star is a thorough trap, it is not a cave house at all, but... the tomb of Skeletal Dragon Demon! ”
“No, it should be its stumbling ground, stumbling for tens of thousands of years, waiting to awaken the nest! ”
“Consolidating all the intelligence, and everything we've been through, I'm guessing the whole thing went like this. ”
“Thirty thousand years ago, at the end of the Great Dark Age, a dozen demonic mighty people fought for the title of demonic emperor in order to unify the star sea. The Skeletal Dragon Demon clan is the loser among them. The Skeletal Dragon Demon is most likely to be seriously injured and is on the verge of death. ”
“He was unwilling to die like this, using his secretary to put himself in a state of false death, relying on this spiritual sea to treat himself slowly over tens of thousands of years. ”
“It is also possible that skeletal dragon demons, unlike ordinary demonic races, can exist in some special way in the form of demons for tens of thousands of years. ”
“After all, it was tens of thousands of years ago, and we were missing a great deal of information about the skeletal dragon demon. ”
“Until 30,000 years later, the Skeletal Dragon Demon finally woke up trapped in the depths of the sea for some reason and could not escape. ”
“Or he needs some intelligent life, through usurpation, to return to the star sea! ”
“Divine soul grabbing is very popular in the ancient world of cultivation. Since Skeletal Dragon Demon is the most powerful man of that era, he wants to come and be familiar with this insidious secret. ”
“In short, he was trapped underground, unable to escape from within on his own strength, and could only break the ban by outside force. ”
“And that demon wreck, and all of us fools, were lured here by it! ”
“Although demonic remnants were eliminated in a timely manner, we broke the ban and released the Skeletal Dragon Demon in ignorance! ”
