Qiao Zhiya is a hybrid. Before he was born, his elf father wanted him to have a strong physique unique to dwarfs; while his dwarf mother wanted him to have a tall body unique to elves. And then he ...
The aroma of mushroom soup and fried meat patties wafted over. Georgia sniffed and slowly opened her eyes.
"Good morning, baby!"
Mile was lying on a branch next to his nest. When he opened his eyes, he excitedly leaned over and kissed him hard. Then he picked him up and rubbed him, saying happily, "It's time for breakfast. Daddy fried meat patties for you today. Are you happy, baby?"
The confusion after just waking up was quickly dissipated by such a warm greeting. Georgia looked up at her mother who was smiling without any worries, then looked down at her father who was smiling at her from under the tree. Thinking of what she heard last night, she shrank her paws, flicked her tail lightly, nodded vigorously, and said, "Happy! Mom, I still want to eat the red wild fruits from yesterday."
He was always well-behaved and seldom made explicit requests. Mile was startled when she heard this, but soon became excited. She felt satisfied with her son's dependence and need, and patted her chest proudly and said, "No problem! Mom will pick it for you right away!"
Then she jumped down from the tree, kissed him hard again, pushed him into her husband's arms, and rushed excitedly towards the place where the wild fruits grew.
This forest was safe, and Joey was relieved that his wife had left, so he turned his gaze to his son in his arms, held his little body, and asked softly, "Qiao Qiao, why did you lie?"
Georgia looked up at him, flapped her wings, stood up from his arms, then flew to a height facing him, gently moved closer, lowered her head and pressed her little head against his brow, magic power surging.
Joey was also stunned, then quickly understood his intention, sighed softly in his heart, opened the blockade of the magic pool, and allowed his power to slowly penetrate in.
After a few days of rest, his dried-up magic pool had long since been refilled, but this could not hide the fact that there were still cracks on it.
Georgia stepped back, looked at him sadly, and sat back on his arms, feeling depressed - as expected, not only her mother, but also her father was hurt, otherwise her mother would not have said that last night.
In more than two years, my father has been upgraded from a great magician to a mage, and is not far from being a holy mage. This is a good thing, but perhaps in order to travel through space to find him as soon as possible, my father's realm is not stable, and the frequent loss of magic power has affected his foundation.
"Qiao Qiao, it's just a minor injury and it will heal soon." Joey touched his head soothingly. Like every father who loves his children, he didn't want his pain to become a burden to his child.
Georgia did not accept the comfort obediently. Instead, she raised her head, flapped her wings again and flew to the level of his eyes, and said firmly: "Dad, I have been an adult for many years."
Joey looked at his serious eyes, vaguely guessed what he was going to say, his heart trembled, and he reached out to touch him, calling out, "Qiao Qiao."
"I want to protect you and mom, too." Georgia did not dodge his hand, but insisted on flying to a place where his line of sight was aligned, looking into his eyes, and then directly spread out her magic power, spreading it out layer by layer around her.
Joey touched his hand for a moment, then slowly withdrew it.
Releasing magic power is what every elf child will do when they grow up. The purpose is to tell the whole tribe that there is a little elf here who has grown up and can live independently from his parents and form his own family.
All tribesmen who sense this magical fluctuation will come with gifts and give their best wishes to the adult children.
Georgia grew up in the land of the dwarves, and the sign of adulthood for the dwarves was to forge a weapon by hand and put it in the dwarves' arsenal. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and Georgia's magic power was too weak at the time, so Joey deliberately ignored the elf's adulthood ceremony.
But I didn’t expect Georgia to take the initiative to do it today.
The father and son looked at each other as equals for a long time. Joey compromised and stretched out his hand to Georgia. Magical power surged in his hand, and he said with a sigh: "Bless you... I am an adult child, may the gods protect you."
The magic strength of Georgia's great magician level made his power cover the entire giant forest almost immediately after it was spread out. Mile, who was picking wild fruits, sensed his son's power and was stunned for a moment, thinking that his son was in danger. He hurriedly stuffed the wild fruits into his arms, turned around and ran quickly towards the habitat.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, baby, you——"
She stopped and looked at her husband and son who were squatting beside the wooden table counting crystals. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Georgia's eyes lit up when she saw her come back. She flapped her wings happily and flew to her. She pointed at the crystals on the table and said, "Crystals have another name in this world, ice crystals. They are very rare and precious. I, I have almost used up all the crystals in my hand in the past two years. Dad is giving me pocket money." At the end, she seemed to feel that it was not good for an adult child like herself to take pocket money, and she was so shy that she curled up her tail.
Joey looked at his son's clumsy lie with a helpless smile in his eyes, then he turned his gaze to his wife who was looking at him with wide eyes, nodded, and said affirmatively: "Qiao Qiao said that the value of items in this world is fundamentally different from that in the magic continent. Here, crystal stones are rare gems, and the magic stones of various types are just decorative stones that are often used in daily life. They are not expensive."
The more Mile listened, the wider his eyes widened. He couldn't help but reach out and grab his son and hold him in his arms. He rushed to the small wooden table and asked to confirm, "Really? This is very valuable? Do the humans here like crystal stones very much?"
Joy looked at Georgia in her arms, so Mile looked over too.
Georgia met her mother's inquiring gaze and nodded her head desperately, vigorously, and frantically in affirmation.
After getting a positive answer, Mile couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She squatted down in front of the small table, took out the wild fruit, cleaned it, and stuffed one into Georgia's hand. Then she buried her head in her magic storage tools and dug out all the crystals and piled them on top. She said happily, "All for you, baby, all for you. Spend it as much as you want. When you're done, mom will go home and get you more. We still have a lot at home!"
There were also some purple gold coins mixed in with the crystals. This was a higher-level currency in the magic continent. Georgia had not seen this in this world yet, so he pointed at the purple gold coins while chewing wild fruits and vaguely explained what they represented in this world.
Upon hearing this, Mile's face turned red with excitement, and she hurriedly took out all kinds of beautiful little gadgets, trying to find something that "short-sighted" humans would like, to fill her son's piggy bank.
Georgia cooperated by telling her the possible value of various items from the magical continent in this world. She swung her tail and looked very happy.
The mother and son were deeply trapped in the whirlpool of money and couldn't extricate themselves. Joey stood up, brought over the warm mushroom soup and meat pie, fed one bite and then the other, and looked at his son comforting his wife in his own way, and his wife enjoyed it very much, with a satisfied smile.
The way the family of three get along has changed a little since that breakfast. With his father's tacit consent, Georgia has subtly changed his position in the family, slowly changing from an object of care to one of the family's pillars. The thick-skinned Mile is unaware of this. He only knows that his son has become super awesome now!
After communicating with the giant tree, Georgia obtained another mutant yellow-leaf wood root. In front of his parents, he used the root to make two yellow-leaf wood potions, and then handed one potion to each of his parents.
"This is good for repairing the magic pool." He explained, then took out the spiritual purification liquid and green fruit and handed them over, saying: "This can be used as an auxiliary medicine."
Mile only knew a little about potion-making, while Joey was very good at it. However, he did not quite understand some of the steps his son used to make the potion. Another thing was that they had never known before that the giant tree in the center of the forest was actually intelligent and could communicate.
"I've been here before and helped the old tree grandfather a little, so he knows me. I slightly improved the potion-making method and used some human methods. This potion made from the roots is more effective than the potion made from branches and leaves I used before. You should drink this first." Georgia answered their questions, then flew to her mother and said carefully: "Mom, I have absorbed the power of the flesh in the stone, and the healing aura in the magic is very strong. I want to try to repair the injuries in your magic pool, is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mile leaned forward without hesitation and gave him 100% trust.
Georgia wagged her tail happily and slid gently over to him.
Joey stood up on his own accord and stayed beside his wife and children.
In the giant tree forest, a family of three was busy healing their wounds.
Outside the asteroid belt, after Chu Rong roughly cleared out the Zerg on the garbage planet, he left the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Xiang Lingzhi, then took the Chu family flagship into the air again, speeding towards the imperial border planet where Netasi was.
A day later, the flagship arrived at its destination and reunited with Netasi.
Netasi did not have the incredible ability like Chu Rong, and could not quickly break through the surface to find the buildings deep underground, so he adopted a roundabout way of blocking. He generously used energy jammers to cover the entire planet, in order to affect the planet's magnetic field as much as possible and prevent the monsters from successfully connecting to the channel to teleport here.
When Chu Rong arrived, the imperial soldiers had just dug out the teleportation site hidden underground.
"There aren't many Zerg here, only this one was found."
Netasi pointed to the row of sealed experimental subject storage chambers in front of him, and then pointed to the space deep inside that was also covered with mucus and blood, and said, "And that, Marshal, your estimation is correct, there is also a teleportation field here, but it is not big. It should be used to deliver 'food' to the monsters."
Chu Rong nodded, glanced at the room with the disgusting smell, and said, "After cleaning and replicating the patterns on the teleportation field, blow up this place, send the placement warehouse to the flagship, seal it and destroy it."
Netasi agreed immediately and called for someone to come and deal with it.
After spending a day cleaning up this imperial border planet, the Chu family flagship set sail again and headed back towards the Federation.
In the command room, Chu Rong leaned against the operating panel, listening to the mission reports sent back by the generals of the Federation while zooming in on the star map of the Blue Galaxy, carefully studying it to see if there were any other monster nests that had escaped.
He hadn't rested for several days and was working intensively every minute, but he couldn't stop, because if he stopped, the suppressed thoughts of Georgia in his mind would flood up and destroy his current calmness and rationality.
"…It's all cleaned up!"
After the last general finished his report, he nodded and sent the coordinates he had found after research to their communicators in batches. He instructed, "Set sail directly to the next possible coordinate point. Make sure every corner of the Federation is clean."
"yes!"
After everyone responded in unison, all communications were severed.
The room fell silent. Chu Rong looked at the beautiful star map of the Blue Galaxy. His gaze unconsciously fell on the mining planet where he met Georgia. His eyes drifted away for a while, then quickly focused again. He thought of something, stood up and was about to call for help when Fan Xiangnan strode in.
"Sir, something is wrong with the Imperial Master!"
Chu Rong paused after hearing this, frowned, and strode towards the medical room.
Warm light was shining in the forest of giant trees. Mile, who had been cured, stood aside, looking at her husband and son who were huddled together, with a nervous expression.
The magic power with a strong healing aura gently soothed the damaged magic pool, causing the magic power in the magic pool to rotate slowly. Then the power of the yellow leaf wood and the mental purification liquid floated over together, and the speed of the magic power rotation became slower and slower, attracting these external forces to merge into the magic pool, repairing the damage in the magic pool bit by bit.
Joey's expression relaxed, his hair and robes moved without wind, and a huge and pure magical power emanated from him, spreading towards the entire giant forest. The animals in the forest were startled and looked over.
Mile's eyes lit up and he stood up and leaned over.
After being released, the power slowly returned, and Joey's flying hair and robes fell down slowly, along with the little golden dragon on his forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work." Joey held his exhausted son in his arms, touched his little body gently, and gave him some magic power with heartache in his eyes.
It is still too difficult for my son, whose power of atavism is limited, to help with treatment across levels.
Georgia flapped his wings happily in response. The exhaustion from the exhaustion and the comfort of being surrounded by his father's power made him a little drowsy, but he still held on and said vaguely: "Dad, this meteorite will take me out. Wait for me... wait for my magic power to return... huh..."
In the end, he couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep with his eyes closed before he could finish his words.
"Is the baby okay?" Mile asked worriedly. She leaned close to her husband lovingly, lowered her head and gently rubbed her son's round belly which was bulging as he fell asleep. She felt that even the scales on her son's body seemed to have faded after his strength was exhausted.
Joey shook his head, stretched out his arms and hugged her, and said in a soft voice: "Let him have a good sleep."
Mile nodded, and couldn't help but move over and gently rub her son's little body.
Gently soothed by the strength of her parents, Georgia slept soundly and comfortably, and when she woke up it was already the next morning.
He flew out of his nest in high spirits, rushed towards Mile who was guarding under the tree, and said excitedly: "Mom, I need your help with something!"
When Mile heard his voice, she looked up and happily opened her arms to hug him. She loved his lively and energetic appearance so much that she drooled all over his face and nodded in response, "Help, help, help! Honey, do you want to eat wild fruits again? Mommy will pick some for you right away! My baby is really a good child who is not picky about food!"
Georgia, who always found reasons to be praised by her mother, blushed shyly. She pushed her mother with her little paws, took out a drawing and said, "It's not wild fruit, it's this...Mom, I want you to help me make this."
He is now in the form of a little dragon, and it is not very convenient for him to do things, so he can only ask his mother for help.
A blueprint of a small warship was unfolded in front of her. Mile was stunned for a moment, and then she looked it up and down carefully. Then her eyes lit up, and she held the blueprint in her hand with drool, and nodded vigorously: "So baby, you want a toy. No problem! Mom will make it for you right away!"
Although the "poor" dwarf mother had no money, she had stockpiled a lot of rare minerals of various kinds from the magical continent. Without Georgia's help, she quickly relied on the dwarves' excellent manufacturing intuition and talent to match the parts of various parts of the ship according to the drawings of the small ship. In the end, she even took out a large piece of magic crystal and directly abolished the high-tech operating system of the small ship, deciding to localize the ship.
"My dear, you are so smart. I should have thought of it earlier. You don't have to use a magic circle to break the barrier. You can just use tools to fly out!"
Mile tied her long hair neatly into a bun, took out a huge forging table with a clang, waved her hand, and the magic circles on the table were activated. Then, with a flash in her hand, a giant hammer appeared, and earth magic began to fluctuate and surround it. A detailed disassembly drawing was held in the air. She took a rough look at it, then took out a piece of magic ore, put it on the table, and smashed it with a wave of her hand.
Joey hurriedly carried his son back to a safe area. Looking at his wife's excited and sweating appearance, he touched his son very "virtuously" and asked, "Qiao Qiao, what do you want to eat for lunch? Daddy will make it for you. Your mom probably doesn't have time for the time being."
Georgia finally remembered the fear of being dominated by her mother's "craftsman's obsession" and silently decided not to go up to help. She clenched her little paws and replied: "Just eat something that can quickly replenish your strength." To forge a whole set of small ships, even with the help of magic, the consumption of physical strength is huge.
Joey looked down at his well-behaved and caring son, then bent down and kissed the cute little horn on his head. He thought that while his wife was being a "toy", he could probably find something else to do, such as learning the common language used by humans here.
The yellow leaf wood potion and the spiritual purification liquid flowed into the body of the national teacher as if they were free. Zhuang Yu paid close attention to the test data fed back by the instrument. After discovering that the national teacher's condition began to stabilize, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Rong and said, "It's working."
Chu Rong nodded, stepped forward and glanced at the Imperial Master whose scales were slowly fading and returning to his normal human appearance, then turned around and asked, "When will he wake up?"
"According to normal human standards, anytime." Zhuang Yu gave an answer that was almost nonsense, but there was no other way. In her entire life, this was the first time she had treated a non-human.
Chu Rong frowned, suppressed his anxiety, and said, "You've worked hard, go and rest first."
It was rare for the superior to treat him so "gently". Zhuang Yu paused for a moment before nodding in response. Then he quickly packed up all the medicines, turned around and walked out of the sealed and empty ward with light steps.
After she left, Jian, who had been silent during the treatment, suddenly looked up at Chu Rong, who was standing aside with a frown, and said, "Last time Qiao treated my father, my father woke up once that night, but he didn't wake up for long."
Chu Rong, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard the words, looked at him, and simply dragged a chair over and sat down next to the bed.
Time became unbearable. There were clearly three people in the ward, but it was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
Jian looked at Chu Rong with his eyes downcast in thought, his gaze swept over the small communicator he was holding carefully in his hand, and thinking of Qiao who had no news yet, worry appeared in his eyes. He sighed in his heart, held his father's hand, and lay down on the edge of the bed.
In the darkest part of the night, Jian couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the edge of the bed. Chu Rong, who had been stroking the communicator with his eyes lowered, suddenly stopped and looked towards the bed.
The Imperial Master, who had just opened his eyes, was confused for two seconds, then quickly turned his head to look at Jian who was lying on the edge of the bed. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, his tense expression relaxed visibly. He reached out and gently touched his hair with a gentle look in his eyes.
"National Master." Chu Rong spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
The Imperial Master then noticed that he was also there. He turned his head to glance at him, looked around the ward, and roughly guessed what had happened. He first motioned for him to stop talking, then sat up and got out of the bed. After stretching his body, he carried Jane to the bed and made her lie down, then he was the first to walk out of the ward.
Chu Rong glanced at Jian who was still sleeping, then stood up and followed.
The two stopped in the empty corridor, and the Imperial Master turned around and asked, "Where is this?"
"The Chu family's flagship." Chu Rong answered, and then asked, "Where is Qiao?"
The Imperial Master frowned, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then turned around and looked around, and said, "I need a larger enclosed room."
Chu Rong directly opened the door of the ward opposite - in order to protect the secrets of the national teacher, the space in this entire area was cleared in advance, and there were empty rooms everywhere.
The Imperial Master paused and walked towards the ward opposite.
A quarter of an hour later, the Imperial Master came out of the ward with a slightly pale face. There were faint traces of scales on his wrists. He looked at Chu Rong who was waiting outside, coughed softly and replied, "Qiao is in a place where the air is full of power from the same source as him. Sorry, I can only sense this much."
Chu Rong stood up straight when he heard that. He quickly said thank you and turned around to walk outside. He took out the communicator while walking, contacted the control room and ordered: "Turn around and get closer to the meteorite belt! Quick!"
It seems there is a result.
The Imperial Master watched him leave in a hurry, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of his ward, and then met Jane's worried gaze. He was stunned, smiled and stretched out his hand to Jane, and said in a gentle voice: "It will be soon, Dad will be able to take you home soon."
Jane's eyes turned red, and she rushed over and threw herself into his arms. Her forced strength shattered, and she tightened her arms and began to cry softly.
A place where the air is filled with the same power as his...the same power as his, that is magic.
Chu Rong stood in the command room, digesting the information given by the national teacher. His heart was filled with emotions, and his eyes were fixed on the gray and black area on the star map that represented the meteorite belt. He felt excited and annoyed.
He overlooked that Qiao needed jade to replenish his strength, so Qiao's relatives should be in the same situation as Qiao. Qiao's relatives had just arrived here and might not have much jade in reserve, so before they left, they would definitely find a place where they could replenish their strength. In the entire blue galaxy, the only place with magic fluctuations was the primitive planet in the meteorite belt!
Damn it!
He clenched his fists and couldn't help but urge, "Speed up! Open a special channel and get closer!"
Fan Xiangnan and the others knew that he must have obtained information about Qiao, and they became excited. Without his instructions, they increased the speed of the flagship evenly.
Chu Huai and Chu Yan, who received the news, also hurried over. Because they were anxious, they were still wearing pajamas. But no one cared about their clothes now. Everyone's attention was on Georgia's whereabouts.
The flagship, which had just returned to the Federation, flew towards the border again.
On the primitive planet, Mile also made a ship. She happily carried her son onto her newly made "toy". After her husband drew a protective magic circle for the ship that looked very much like the ship of the magical continent, she injected magic power into the magic crystal in the control room. Then the navigation lights lit up, and the ship slowly took off and flew towards the sky.
"It's done!"
Mile took back her hand, excitedly tossed her son up and down, then gave him a strong kiss and placed him next to the magic crystal, saying, "Have fun. Baby, if you want anything else, just tell me and I'll make it for you!"
Georgia stared at her with her paws clenched, her tail straightened with excitement, and she said admiringly, "Mom is awesome!"
Success at one go! Success at one go! As expected, compared to his mother, whose dwarf features were more obvious, he was still far behind.
Mile was so happy and relieved by his son's praise that he couldn't help but pick his son up and smear his face with saliva. He rubbed him around and smiled silly, completely losing the steady and reliable look he had when he was making the ship.
Georgia was also very happy. She rubbed her obediently, flapping her wings excitedly and her magic power flying everywhere.
With a smile in his eyes, Joey walked to the magic crystal controller which was completely ignored by his wife and son, and took over the operation of the ship.
With the protective magic circle leading the way and Joey's magic power blessing, the ship made by Mile sailed at a very fast speed, completely breaking the rules. It was almost like a meteor that streaked through the sky and flexibly drilled into the meteorite belt.
Georgia came back to her senses in time, flew to the side of the magic crystal, gathered her magic power and drew a traction array, then carefully took out a black jade ring from the storage ring and placed it in the array, raised her hand and pulled, pulled...
He was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had no hair after turning into a dragon. He was stunned for a while, then he lowered his head to search his body, but did not find anything resembling hair. After hesitating for a moment, he finally fixed his eyes on the neat and beautiful scales on his body, and his claws were eager to pull them out.
Mile and Joey's good mood immediately vanished when he took out the ring. Seeing that he actually wanted to hurt them to locate the ugly white-haired thing, they immediately grabbed his tail and pressed his body, threatening him, "Don't move."
Georgia froze, looked back and forth at her parents, and seeing that they looked unhappy, she retracted her claws a little guiltily and said vaguely: "But, but we need to locate the direction... This meteorite belt is very large, we will get lost..."
This is indeed a problem.
Joey frowned, his eyes fell on the ring, he reached out to pick it up, lowered his head to meet his son's anxious eyes, suppressed the urge to turn the ring into powder, raised his hand and drew a modified traction circle in the air, and said, "We only need a vague direction to guide the direction. The personal belongings will have the aura of the previous owners, this ring is enough."
After saying that, he lit up the formation and threw the ring into it. Georgia couldn't help but widen her eyes, then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the formation absorb and wrap the ring. Noticing her mother's gaze, she lowered her head shyly and guiltily.
The formation wrapped around the ring and slowly rotated for a few weeks. Then it turned into a spot of light and sank into Joey's brow, and the ring floated back to Georgia's little paw.
"southwest."
Joey spoke, touched the magic crystal, and changed the course of the ship.
In the Chu family flagship, Chu Rong suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and then the back of his neck also felt cold, as if there was a murderous aura entwined around him. He frowned and looked around suspiciously. Seeing that the room was full of familiar people, he shook his head to get rid of the sudden chill and asked with a frown, "How long will it take to get there?"
"Five hours. One of the transmission points is broken, so we have to take a detour." Fan Xiangnan replied, taking a look at the breakout route from the meteorite belt that the flagship had recorded, and suggested, "And conservatively estimated, it would take at least three days to return to the original planet you mentioned from the original breakout point. Sir, you can go and rest first."
Three days is too long.
Chu Rong frowned, not listening to his last words at all, and asked: "Can you speed up further?"
The suggestion failed. Fan Xiangnan sighed in his heart and replied: "The flagship is huge. The speed of crossing the meteorite belt should not be too fast, otherwise it is easy to collide with active meteorites. Three days is the limit."
"Then let's change to a small ship." Chu Rong immediately made the decision.
"In theory, small ships can move more easily in the asteroid belt, and they can also move faster," Fan Xiangnan replied. Seeing that his chief officer was really ready to turn around and drive a small ship, he hurriedly added, "But most small ships have weak hulls and cannot safely pass through the asteroid belt. They are in danger of being damaged midway."
Chu Rong frowned fiercely, turned back to look at the star map, and knew that he was on the verge of losing his mind. He quickly raised his hand and pressed his forehead to suppress his emotions. He held the jade pendant on the space button and said, "Try to speed up."
"Yes." Fan Xiangnan responded, not daring to persuade him to rest anymore. He just tried his best to speed up and head towards the breakout point where his superior had left the meteorite belt.
In the meteorite belt, Joey frowned and suddenly adjusted his course.
"Dad?" Georgia looked at him puzzledly.
"The target point is moving," Joey explained, reaching out to touch his back soothingly.
Georgia became a little worried when she heard that, remembering Chu Rong’s poor mental state before he left and the situation of the experimental subject, she clenched her claws together - it was moving, could it be that Chu Rong didn’t rest and was still on a mission?
But that mental state...
Mile frowned and glared at her son, who looked listless and worried about the kidnapper. She blew out a breath of anger from her nose, stretched out her hand and grabbed her son in her arms, and said sullenly, "After tossing and turning for half the night, it's time for your good boy to go to bed. Come, let mom sing you a lullaby."
Georgia looked up at her mother's murderous expression, paused, then snuggled into her mother's arms and closed her eyes, suppressing her worry about Chu Rong in her heart.
He originally just wanted to pretend to comfort his mother, but as he felt his mother's breath and listened to her soft humming, he, who seldom stayed up late, gradually became sleepy and actually fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he heard his mother's scream. His eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes. The dense meteorites in his blurry vision had disappeared, replaced by the vast and beautiful universe. The familiar appearance of the Chu family flagship vaguely appeared in front of him. He woke up instantly and called out instinctively: "Chu Rong!"
Chu Rong?
Joey and Mile looked at him together, and then saw the behemoth's shock suppressed. Mile gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out and pressed a red button next to the magic crystal operator.
Georgia was truly awake this time. He quickly got up and called out, "Mom?" If he remembered correctly, that seemed to be the attack button of the ship.
Mile's hands froze, and she turned her head to avoid his gaze. She raised her hand to pull the hair on the side of her face and replied vaguely, "Um... my hand slipped. By the way, baby, what did you say just now? Oh, Mom was a little scared when she saw the big monster appear, so she didn't hear it."
"...It's nothing, Mom." Georgia pretended considerately that nothing had happened. She turned her head to look at the projection of the Chu family flagship on the crystal screen. She flapped her wings and flicked her tail, anxiously trying to contact the other party to fly over. Then, after seeing her own image reflected on the magic crystal screen, her body froze. Her excitement and anxiety froze and turned into trepidation.
He, he has become like this now, will Chu Rong still recognize him? Will he dislike him?
Joey frowned, hugged his son who was obviously in a low mood, looked at the huge ship in front of him, and raised Chu Rong's threat level to a higher level in his mind. He pressed the magic crystal stone and started the magic interference.
The Chu family flagship, which had just approached the edge of the asteroid belt, stopped sailing. Everyone in the command room looked at the scanning screen and was stunned by what looked like a small ship that suddenly rushed out from the asteroid belt.
"What is that?" Chu Yan asked first.
Chu Huai also frowned, looking at the mini ship that was smaller than an ordinary small ship, with a rounder shape and inexplicably looked like a toy, and hesitantly guessed: "Is it a wandering traveler who accidentally strayed into the meteorite belt?"
It's no wonder he made such a guess. The mini ship didn't look like a regular ship at all. It looked more like a sailing tool made by wandering travelers with their own money.
Chu Rong suddenly thought of something, and quickly reached out and clicked a few times on the operating device. The scan image was enlarged, and the overall shape of the mini ship appeared more clearly and completely on the screen. The slowly running magic circle pattern on the ship's hull and the vine pattern at the corners also appeared clearly in front of everyone.
"Magic circle, vines... Could it be Qiao?" Chu Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed to the control panel, urging: "Quick! Quickly connect to the communication of the opposite ship! Hurry up!"
Fan Xiangnan came back to his senses and started to move quickly, but Lin Zhen next to him changed his expression and said, "Oh no, there's an attack reaction!"
Huh? An attack reaction?
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the screen again, and saw that a floating and rotating dark brown magic circle suddenly appeared in front of the mini ship. Then the light of the formation became brighter, and a large stone almost as big as a meteorite appeared out of thin air, wrapped in a gray-brown power flame that looked not easy to mess with, and flew straight towards the flagship.
Bang!
No one gave any instructions to evade or counterattack the attack, so the flagship took the hit head on. Lin Zhen took a look at the damage feedback and said silently: "A large dent appeared on the protective shell, and there are cracks, and the cracks are expanding."
All in all, although the mini-ship is small, its attack power is unexpectedly fierce and merciless.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Chu Rong with strange expressions - the magic circle plus the vine pattern, and it rushed out from the meteorite belt, all these factors combined indicate that the mini ship on the opposite side was most likely made by Qiao, but Qiao's current reaction... is really intriguing.
Fan Xiangnan stopped contacting the other side, broke the silence in the room, and said with a strange expression: "Sir, the ship on the other side does not seem to have any communication equipment installed, so we can't establish contact."
Well, we can’t even communicate.
Chu Rong clenched his fists, suddenly turned around, and strode outside.
"Where are you going, second brother?" Chu Yan stepped forward and asked.
Chu Rong didn't even turn his head. His figure quickly disappeared into the distance. His answer came faintly: "Go and pick up Qiao."
The room fell silent again, with a strange atmosphere. Tan Shengwei, who had been standing quietly in the corner, spoke softly, "What if the other side attacks again after the commander leaves..."
The mecha is not as solid as the flagship.
Everyone was silent. Chu Yan hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to turn around and pick up Qiao, there was a sudden crackling sound of interference in the control room. Then a gentle and low male voice sounded, saying in the common language that he was not very proficient in: "Ask Chu Rong to come over. I am Qiao's father."
The crackling sound disappeared.
