Chapter 197 Crisis on the Magical Beast Island The Eastern Dragon Made of Jade
March 2, morning, the third floor restaurant of the hot air balloon airship.
"It's getting late. It's almost time to leave." Jiang Yijie put down his water cup and said slowly, "We don't have much time left. The system has strict time requirements for each investigation task."
"Let's go, we've finished our meal." Anson Lu said, and walked out of the airship along the gangway.
Since it was a copy of his own sequence, he was somewhat curious about what kind of chess species lived on this island.
In the Pacific Ocean, on an unknown desert island, in a corner of a vast and lush forest.
The blue and white kangaroos were taking care of the black cats trapped in the cages. Young white deer and ferocious black deer were playing in the surrounding ponds, their hooves splashing water.
After feeding, the kangaroo raised its head and whistled. A blue and white owl with a technological body flew from the other end of the sky, followed closely by a rhino.
The rhino's body is a mixture of black and silver, and its tail is embedded with a scorpion that swings freely.
The owl sat on the kangaroo's shoulder, and the kangaroo sat on the rhino's shoulder. The rhino ran against the wind, carrying them through the dense green forest and to the grassland.
The setting sun is about to set, and the sunset glow paints the sky with a layer of crimson. Rays of dim afterglow pass through the clouds and fall onto the grassland full of green vitality.
The flock of sheep, with blue arcs of electricity dancing all over their bodies, moved across the hillside like a thundercloud.
The horses with flames on their tails roared across the grassland like a crimson sunset.
The kangaroo opened its mouth and made a sound, intending to keep the rhinoceros as far away from the exploding rats' habitat as possible to avoid disturbing them, which would have unimaginable consequences.
The rhino carried it across the grassland, across the hillside, and came to the top of the mountain surrounded by forests.
The kangaroo landed, took the bonfire from its pocket and lit it under the gloomy sky.
Soon, tiny flames gradually rose up, and it, the owl, and the rhinoceros gathered around the campfire, watching the moon rise and the sunset, and the grass grow and the birds fly.
The day passed like this, and when night fell, all the magical animals on the island fell silent.
The next afternoon, the alien kangaroo woke up on the top of the mountain. It raised its head, squinted its solemn eyes, and looked up at the sky. An abrupt space crack opened up right above the forest.
The alien kangaroo's body trembled, and a chill ran down his spine.
The kangaroo knew very well what it was, because before this, it had violated the rules of traveling through the parallel world - mechanical creatures were not allowed to use travel props without permission, so it was wanted by the Space-Time Regulatory Bureau.
One after another, dark spaceships from the future rushed over. They were not large, only the size of helicopters, and the windows of the cabins were transparent so that the pilots could be seen.
A blazing white laser burst out from the opening at the front of the spacecraft, pouring onto the earth like a rainstorm. The magical animals screamed and scattered, and the grasslands, forests, and hillsides were all in chaos.
"Gah!"
Guilt and rage overwhelmed all reason and powerlessness, and the alien kangaroo gritted its teeth in anger. It gave up the idea of escaping and instead reached into its pockets and pulled out a blue and white bazooka.
The alien kangaroo decided to fight to the end on this island with his companions who he had been living with day and night, even though the final outcome would be death.
However, before it could pull the trigger of the rocket launcher, there was a noise from the forest on the island. A beam of blue flame like a meteor shot straight into the sky and pierced through the two spaceships in succession.
"Gaba?!"
The alien kangaroo's eyes widened and the rocket launcher on its shoulder almost fell off. It looked closely and realized that it was not a beam of blue flame, but a bullet that no one could stop.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Before one shot falls, another one is fired.
Gunshots loud enough to rip the eardrums rang out in the forest one after another.
It put down the rocket launcher, took out a telescope from its pocket, and looked towards the source of the bullet. It saw a blue-haired boy in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts standing on the top of a huge tree, aiming a sniper rifle at the sky.
"What a hassle...why haven't the captain and Anson Deer arrived yet?"
The boy mumbled something and yawned, blue flames flashing in his emotionless eyes.
He pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
The roar that resounded through the sky subsided, and a deep blue light shot out from the dark muzzle of the gun, like a wild beast running through the sky, tearing apart spaceships with its sharp claws.
In just a moment, several more spaceships from the future fell.
The next moment, a mad lion that seemed to be made of emerald green jade leaped high into the sky from the forest ground. Its size expanded more than ten times at this moment, and it opened its green mouth to swallow and bite off more than a dozen spaceships.
“Crack!”
The Emerald Giant Lion disdained to swallow it. The sound of the spaceship exploding came from his body one after another, like fireworks blooming one after another. The lion's green body surface continued to reflect chaotic brilliance.
The alien kangaroo swallowed a mouthful of water and frowned. It had no idea where these reinforcements came from, nor did it know why they wanted to help the animals on the island. The situation became confusing.
“Bang!”
At this moment, another space-time rift opened in the air.
The surviving future spaceships all flew towards the crack at the same time, but at this moment, a "giant shadow of a pirate ship" suddenly appeared right in front of the crack.
"roar!!!"
At the same time, a dragon roar was heard that shook the sky, and a giant dragon spread its wings, flew into the sky, and slowly revealed its true appearance under the scorching sun.
Its entire body was covered in a layer of gray mist-like ethereal light, its skin was dark gray, its head wore a crown made of animal bones, its pupils were extremely black, and its sharp teeth were exposed.
On the dragon's back stood a boy in school uniform and a man in a dark red pirate robe.
Anson Lu opened his mouth and gave the order: "Captain of the Dragon Boat, use the skill - Dragon Bullet Blast Down; Dark Light Dragon, use the skill - Dark Shadow Jungle!"
Following the order from the boy in school uniform, the captain of the dragon boat raised his musket and pulled the trigger.
"Bang--!!!"
Before those future spaceships entered the cracks, the huge phantoms of pirate ships aimed their guns at them, and countless artillery fire bloomed like fireworks.
"roar--!!!"
At the same time, the Dark Light Dragon roared towards the sky, and a pitch-grey gap appeared in the sky. Gray spikes as vast as a jungle fell from it, bombarding the spaceship like a rainstorm.
The overwhelming offensive formed by dragons and pirates swept across the sky of the island.
In just three seconds, all the spaceships were reduced to ashes.
There was a loud explosion, followed by a sudden silence. All the creatures on the island were unable to react and wonder what had happened in the past few seconds.
[The investigation mission of the Magical Animal Island has been completed. Players are requested to return to the hot air balloon airship within twelve hours. If you fail to return to the airship within the specified time, the instance will be considered a failure.]
[The rewards for the first investigation mission will be settled after returning to the airship.]
[The airship will take off again in twelve hours and head to the next island for the second investigation mission.]
"Okay, off work." Anson Deer yawned and complained, "By the way, the setting of this investigation mission is really childish. The spaceship has even arrived. Well, it fits Kangaroo-kun's identity very well."
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked towards a hill in the distance guided by his intuition. There he found the figures of an alien kangaroo and an alien owl, while the other rhino had already run away.
"Logically speaking, the kangaroos here don't recognize me." Anson Deer narrowed his eyes. "Since the investigation mission has been completed, can I let the Darklight Dragon slap it to death?"
"Ka Ba!" The kangaroo in the distance raised its right hand and saluted him, as if to thank him for protecting the animals on the island.
Anson Deer glared at it:
"After I go back, if I find that you, a fool, haven't gained any new skills or improved your attributes, then this investigation mission will definitely be assigned to you."
This is a kangaroo from a parallel world. It cannot communicate with Anson Deer telepathically, and of course it does not know that Anson Deer is trying every means to torture its compatriots.
The kangaroo just saluted again and bowed deeply to him.
"Stop bowing there. I'm going back to the airship to rest." Anson Deer yawned and urged the Dark Light Dragon. It quickly flapped its wings and returned to the ground, where Jiang Yiji and his group were waiting for him.
Jiang Yijie smiled and said, "As expected of the world's number one player, any move he makes is a shocking scene."
"Don't be so boastful, your skills are comparable to mine," said Anson Lu.
Jiang Yiji had not expected that his sequence "Emerald Mask" had such an ability. He was somewhat surprised when the giant jade lion opened its mouth just now.
"Captain, can we go back to sleep?" Mo Xiaoyuan put away his gun bag, looking so sleepy that he could fall asleep right there.
"I'll go back now." Jiang Yiji laughed.
Tong Muli came to Anson Lu's side, touched the "dumpling" on his head with his hand, and stuck out his tongue, "I'm sorry, I can't help you, senior."
"It doesn't matter."
Tong Muli covered her hair, which was tied into a bun, and sighed softly, "Oh, what a pity! I wanted to show off in front of my seniors, but I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of situation."
"Ah, don't feel pressured. I didn't expect you to be of any use." Anson Lu was very understanding.
"Senior Anson Lu, this is too much!" Tong Muli's slender shoulders trembled and she said angrily.
"Anyway, can we go back to the spaceship first?" Mo Xiaoyuan supported his knees with both hands, almost sitting down on the ground.
Jiang Yiji held a jade mask in his slender right hand. The cool jade exuded a transparent and cold breath. He put on the mask, and a dragon made of jade came roaring.
The body structure of this dragon is more similar to the dragon in Chinese legend than the Western dragon - its horns are like a deer, its head is like a camel, its eyes are like a rabbit, its neck is like a snake, its belly is like a clam, its scales are like fish, its claws are like an eagle, its paws are like a tiger, and its ears are like a cow.
Mo Xiaoyuan and Tong Muli were very proactive and quickly sat on the slender back of this oriental dragon - it was different from the western dragon, its body width was slightly inferior, but its body length was much longer.
"You still have this ability?"
Anson Deer smacked his lips as he looked at this oriental dragon made of jade. Its charm was amazing, and its swaying long tail emitted a green glow that sparkled under the scorching sun.
"I always believe in 'reciprocity', so I won't ride Mr. Lu's sleigh back. Let me give you a ride." Jiang Yiji's eyes behind the jade mask showed a faint smile.
"It's all up to you." Anson Lu said as he turned his head.
He took a look at the island—the magical animals gathered on the hillside, saying goodbye to them in their own way, and the kangaroo stood among them like a king.
He waved his hand, and without staying any longer, he sat on the back of the jade dragon summoned by Jiang Yiji. The oriental dragon bared its fangs and claws, swaying its slender and beautiful body as it flew into the sky, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
