Chapter 17

Looking at the shivering cub in his arms, Dumes, who was always cold-hearted, couldn't help but feel pity.

"Ira, this cub is really not your bloodline?"

Ira rolled her eyes at Dumez, "Even you say that. We're not friends anymore!"

Dumez shrugged. "Honestly, it looks a bit like you did when you were a kid. Why don't you try holding it?"

"Come on."

After Dumes' interruption, Ira regained his composure and thought carefully about what he said. He found that it did make some sense.

Although Sotayal is an illegitimate child, fortunately he is a member of the royal family. If he handles it on his own and slaps the royal family in the face, it will also give them a good handle to use against him.

"Xiao Du, give him the healing potion."

"OK."

Dumez remembered that he was still holding the cub in his arms, so he handed the cub to Ila.

Ira was puzzled: "Why give it to me?"

"I'm giving Sotayal a healing spray, so I can't free my hands. You hold him first!"

"No, if you put it on the ground, it won't die!"

Dumez said, "He's just a cub now. If he gets cold on the ground, he'll get sick. How can you, a big tiger, bother with a cub? Besides, even if he teased you, he's injured because of you, so we're even. Hurry and hold him. Don't waste my time, or Sota will die."

Ira held the baby reluctantly, but as soon as he took over, he found that the little dragon was trembling and he couldn't help frowning.

"Cheap Sota."

In the team, the others received Ira's order and rushed to the scene to carry Sota away.

Because the star beast was injured, Ila ordered everyone to leave first.

Not long after they left, He Nuo arrived here and found many signs of fighting.

Not long after, He Nuo met Ila and her group. When he saw the cub in Ila's arms, his brows furrowed.

“What’s wrong with him!”

Yila turned around and saw He Nuo appeared. She snorted in dissatisfaction, "How dare you ask me? I asked you to protect the cub, and this is how you protect it?"

He Nuo pursed his lips and said nothing.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, he would have died."

He Nuo saw that the man was still unconscious in Ira's arms, his small body wrapped in bandages, and his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Let me see his injuries."

Yila said dissatisfiedly: "I told you to watch it, so I let you watch it."

Fortunately, Dumes coughed slightly, and Ira snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"The cub only has minor skin injuries, nothing serious, don't worry. It's just his tail, which might be a little bald, but it won't affect his movements." Dumez explained to He Nuo, then said to Ira, "You didn't want to hold the cub, right? Now that the nanny is here, leave it to him."

Ila's face froze, and she reluctantly returned the cub to He Nuo.

He Nuo hurriedly examined the dragon cub's injuries. Just as Dumez had said, it was nearly the worst affected area. Its plump tail was wrapped in gauze, and blood was seeping from the tip.

This scene was extremely jarring.

"Who did it?" He Nuo said hoarsely.

Dumez said tactfully, "Sotayar is a member of the Alien Beast Civilization's royal family. We can't deal with him openly. We can only keep him alive for now. When we get out, we'll send him to the Alien Beast Civilization's military court."

He Nuo lowered his head, carefully cradling the little dragon cub in his arms. He wondered if he'd heard. Even if he had, it would be useless. The Sirius civilization was too weak. Even if the royal family of the Alien Beast Civilization was corrupt, they were practically useless. But a tired mule is bigger than a horse. Even if the Sirius civilization had objections, it would be useless. That's power.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and Sirius doesn't even have the qualifications to question. That's why Dumez didn't hesitate to explain to He Nuo.

Seeing He Nuo's silence, Du Meis felt relieved and quickly put the matter behind him.

"By the way, did you encounter any star beasts?"

He Nuo nodded. "A female star beast laid eggs in the cave. Many of the eggs have already hatched, and there are many of its cubs in the passage."

Ira said, "We're still in the game, and Training Ground No. 3 can't be opened. If we force it open, the star beasts might go to other planets and cause damage. The only way is to use laser cannons. But the laser cannon has a very wide range and can easily injure players in the game, so we can only save ourselves."

Dumais asked, "Notify the other players?"

He Nuo said: "Use the optical brain to notify others."

Ira said, “Fortunately, I often follow the army on patrols to the edge of the Milky Way, and occasionally encounter these star beasts, so I have a general understanding of their habits.

The mole beasts, with their exceptional reproductive potential, thrive on energy. A single female can lay tens of thousands of eggs, devouring the entire underground energy supply within three days. At that point, the hungry mole beasts seek out alternative energy sources, such as magical beasts, plants, and even us.

Now the gopher is still underground. After a few hours, its eyes will

When its eyes get used to the light, it will crawl out of the ground and continue to devour energy to expand itself until the energy of the entire planet is exhausted!

Our most important task now is to find the Energy Cube, automatically leave Training Ground No. 3, and have the army bombard this area with laser cannons."

Dumez touched his chin and said, "The problem is, we haven't even touched the shadow of the Energy Cube yet. Can we find all the Energy Cubes when the Diglett Star Beast crawls onto the ground?"

Ira said with embarrassment, "That's what I'm worried about. If the Energy Cube is eaten by the Diglett Star Beast, then we'll have no choice but to fight them off. Or maybe they'll use laser energy like a laser cannon to bomb us all along."

Dumez shook his head. "Impossible. Those entering the arena are almost all geniuses or powerful individuals from various civilizations. The superiors of other civilizations would never agree to this."

"Then we only have the first option left, which is to find the Energy Cube."

"Ah—" I, I have one!

The little dragon weakly opened his scarlet eyes and took out the energy cube crystal fragment hidden in his mouth.

Everyone looked at the little dragon in surprise.

He Nuo helped him catch the crystal and threw it to Yila without hesitation. Then he patiently asked Wu Jian, "How is it?"

Wu Jian was surprised to find himself lying in He Nuo's arms, and He Nuo seemed like a different person, his tone was so gentle that made him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"Ouch?" It's okay, just the tip of my tail hurts a little.

He Nuo pursed his lips and said, "The tail is fine, it's not broken, maybe a little bald."

Wu Jian’s eyes widened.

"Ouch?" Why is he bald? I remember being chased by Sota, and... Shit! Where's that Dogecoin? I wanted to kill him, and he tried to smother me!

He Nuo pointed at a man lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest. Who else could it be but Sota?

Wu Jian blinked.

"Ah?" How did he become like this?

Dumez explained, "It was done by the Earth Rat Beast. His heart was eaten, so he can only rely on the healing potion to survive. When we get out, we will take him directly to the military court and give you an explanation."

Wu Jian gritted his teeth secretly, it was a good deal for him!

Yila coughed and said in an unnatural tone: "I will compensate you after we get out. I am sorry for you this time."

Wu Jian widened his eyes and clicked his tongue.

How come everyone's attitudes have completely reversed after I just fainted once? Is there something I don't know about?

After Yila promised Wu Jian compensation, he asked, "Where did you find the crystal for the energy cube?"

Wu Jian explained his experience of finding the energy cube crystal in the star beast egg, and subconsciously concealed the fact that he encountered the golden egg. He always felt that it was better not to tell this matter now.

Wu Jian followed his instinct and only talked about the general process of his experience.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Jian in shock.

Ira asked the first question, "You said you found the crystal in the star beast egg. How come you're fine?"

"Oh?" What's the big deal about just taking a crystal?

He Nuo said: "The liquid from the star beast eggs is very corrosive. A human body will melt into a pool of blood just by touching it."

Wu Jian was shocked.

"Oh!" Really!

He Nuo nodded.

Wu Jian pondered, wondering if it was a problem with the scales on his body?

The scales protect the flesh inside and prevent corrosive liquids from entering, but that doesn’t make sense. My mouth and nose are also in it, so why are they okay?

The star beast in the golden egg popped up in his mind again. Could it be related to it?

However, just thinking about it without any real evidence will not confirm your thoughts.

There is also a death copy. Now that we are here, should I tell them?

Wu Jian thought about it for a long time and finally said it out loud. There was no point in hiding it any longer.

"Oh." At the beginning, I opened a copy.

Everyone was silent at first, looking at the small dragon cub with complicated eyes.

Yila pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Should I say you are lucky or unlucky? Why do you always encounter so many things?"

Wu Jian touched his pink nose.

He Nuo disagreed, "Opening the dungeon will at most cause a beast tide, but it won't affect the growth of the Star Beasts. Even if you don't open the Death Dungeon, the Star Beasts will still hatch. And you've found one-third of the crystals, which is already very good."

He looked at the players from other alien beast civilizations with a hint of meaning. Those people turned their heads away embarrassedly when they were looked at by He Nuo.

Ira also noticed what his teammates were thinking, and his eyes turned cold.

"The crystal stone for the energy cube we got now was provided by the little guy. If you have any objections, you can leave my team."

The players of the Orc civilization didn't dare to speak, which showed that Ila had a strong appeal.

However, only one man and one dragon were present and were talking in low voices without being affected.

"Oh?" Brother He, will my tail really become bald?

"Once it grows back, you won't be bald anymore. I'll ask for a potion to beautify your scales later."

"Oh." Really? Thank you, Brother He, you are simply the best Brother He in the world.

Ira coughed twice and said seriously, "Little cub, to thank you for the crystals, I'll get you some cub nutrients when I get back. I promise to feed you until you're fat!"

Wu Jian looked at Yila warily.

Ira asked, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Oh?" You're not still planning to fatten me up and then skin me alive, are you?

Wu Jian always remembered that Ira said she would skin him alive.

He Nuo glanced at Ira.

Yila twitched her lips. "I slipped up and said the wrong thing. Can I apologize here?"

The little dragon raised his chin, as if he wanted to laugh, but because of the wound on his body, his smug smile seemed a little distorted.

凎!!
