653 – Source Dragon
“There are Dragon Source Crystals inside the bodies of these Proto Dragons that we’ll call Source Dragons from now on. They are equivalent to a purified Dragon Source Ore and have the function of a Positive Circulation Source Soul Core to a certain extent. This is also the reason why we are very interested in Source Dragons. These Dragon Source Crystals are extremely valuable. Hunting Source Dragons and obtaining their crystals would even remove the process of manufacturing a Positive Circulation Source Soul Core and greatly reduce the cost. Hence, although the environment on this planet is bad, it is a rare resource planet.”
“If the Federation sends an army, although it will face many difficulties, with the Federation’s technology, we will still be able to kill all those Source Dragons. However, Dragon Source Ore is vulnerable to high temperatures, it will definitely cause a huge loss. At the same time, if all Source Dragons are killed, there won’t be any more Dragon Source Crystals. That isn’t what we want to see. So, the Federation’s plan for Dragon Source Planet is to rear these unintelligent Source Dragons that are like mutated metal creatures and obtain their crystals. Let those Source Dragons freely devour Dragon Source Ore and purify them. As long as we kill the Source Dragons, we will be able to reap rich rewards and won’t have to destroy this planet excessively. It can become a treasure ground for the Federation’s resources for a long time.”
“Dragon Source Planet has a very unique characteristic. It seems to be able to absorb a large amount of cosmic rays, and this is how Dragon Source Ore is born. Hence, as long as we hunt Source Dragons only to a certain extent, we will not destroy the ecological balance here and we will be able to continue making this place one of the most important resource planets in the Federation. Our newest generation of wars.h.i.+ps has already started using Dragon Source Crystal as a power source. Hence, we invited all of you here to help the Federation obtain more Dragon Source Crystals. After all, ordinary Mecha Masters are still too weak for hunting Source Dragons.”
After listening to her explanation, Lan Xuanyu and his team finally had a preliminary understanding of Dragon Source Planet. This planet was more troublesome than they had imagined, but it seemed very interesting.
Yan Ruoting tapped on the big screen behind her. The screen changed and a ferocious creature appeared.
It was an existence that resembled an Earth Dragon. It had irregular dark golden scales all over its body. It looked like a hard protrusion with a triangular head and a long tail. There were spikes all over its body.
“There are many types of Proto Dragons, some that can fly and some that can fight on the ground. There are over a dozen types. Different types of Proto Dragons have different strengths. There are some extremely strong Proto Dragons that are extremely terrifying. But at the same time, the quality of their Dragon Source Crystal is proportional to the strength of the Source Dragons. The stronger the Proto Dragon, the stronger the Dragon Source Crystal. Each type of Proto Dragon can become stronger, and it depends on the extent of its evolution. A problem can arise during this evolution process at any time, and once there is a problem, it will die. If it doesn’t die, it will continue to evolve and become stronger.”
“What you guys have to pay attention to is that Dragon Source Planet is the Source Dragons’ world, they can use the various resources on the planet to fight. There are some Proto Dragons that can even control Dragon Source Ore, which is very troublesome. In a sense, you guys can treat them as metal-type creatures. They are best at using metal to attack.”
“The Dragon Source Crystals are also divided into nine grades. The Federation already has a detailed evaluation system. Your mission is to hand over at least 10 Dragon Source Crystals each to exchange for points. The lowest grade is fine. But I have to remind everyone that the journey back and forth is close to a month. If you don’t have enough gains, you would have wasted your time. Finally, please be careful, Sky Fighters. I hope that your mission will be successful and that you can return safely. The Sky Fighters’ wars.h.i.+p will depart from Dragon Source Planet once every 10 days and return to the Mother Planet.”
After listening to Yan Ruoting’s introduction, everyone got a better general idea of Sky Fighters and the mission on Dragon Source Planet, but they still had to figure out the details in the process of completing the mission.
High temperature would affect the quality of a Dragon Source Ore or Dragon Source Crystal. This information was the most important to Lan Xuanyu.
For 33 people, 330 Dragon Source Crystals were required to complete the basic mission. The s.p.a.cecraft would take off once every 10 days.
In other words, they could stay on the planet for 10 days. They had to complete the mission within 10 days and obtain as many Dragon Source Crystals as possible. This was the purpose of their trip.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t sleep much yesterday and was a little sleepy. He simply closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation. 13 days of flying time was truly not short!
As a member of the Sky Fighter Division, Yan Ruoting came from the Federation. Being able to enter the Sky Fighter Division naturally meant that she was outstanding. She was also a Sky Fighter, a rank two Sky Fighter. Only a Sky Fighter could hold a position in the Sky Fighter Division. She could be considered a civilian and her rank wasn’t high, she didn’t really intend to climb the ladder.
During the journey, Yan Ruoting observed the Sky Fighters who were on this mission carefully.
The Sky Fighters this time were selected by the Federation’s military, some from Shrek Academy, some from the Spirit PaG.o.da and the War G.o.d Temple.
The vast majority of them were newly promoted Sky Fighters.
Through observation, she discovered that the calmest Sky Fighters were the students from Shrek Academy. They were the youngest, but most of them were meditating and were unwilling to let go of any time to cultivate.
The entire journey was very quiet without any noise.
Although the other Sky Fighters were able to maintain their silence, they were slightly restless compared to the people from Shrek Academy. They would occasionally chat and discuss some things. There were also those who were in deep sleep.
Shrek had the largest number of people, but they were more like a whole. Also, Yan Ruoting discovered something interesting. When these Shrek Academy students woke up to go to the toilet, they would end their meditation and stand up. They would subconsciously look at one person and then go to the toilet.
Yan Ruoting naturally noticed the young man they were looking at.
He was a very good-looking boy. He meditated most of the time and was very quiet. He was in the middle of all the Shrek Academy students. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like everyone was meditating in his direction.
But he was clearly not emitting any aura during meditation!
It seemed like this youth was not simple. He should be the leader of this batch of Shrek youths.
No one had ever looked down on Shrek Academy’s students, even if they were very young. From Shrek, there were too many strong people and heroes. Who could say how many of these youths would enter Shrek Academy’s Inner Court in the future?
13 days, a total of 13 days. Lan Xuanyu spent most of his time in meditation because time would pa.s.s faster during meditation.
It was true that everyone that Yan Ruoting observed was meditating around him because the aura that he emitted would subtly influence the students. Yan Ruoting couldn’t feel it because Lan Xuanyu had good control over his aura and would only let the students around him feel it. At the same time, it was also because Yan Ruoting’s spiritual power was inferior to his.
“We are about to arrive at Dragon Source Planet. Everyone, please end your meditation and prepare to land.” An electronic voice sounded.
Everyone, who was meditating, gradually woke up. The 13 days journey truly felt boring, especially on a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p without any entertainment facilities.
