Chapter 230 Ending
But then, Ruan Xi overturned this guess himself, looking firmly at the empty dungeon and said, "No, they are in there, but we just can't see them. I can feel their presence, and they are very close."
After Ruan Xi finished speaking, he looked at He Ziqian and asked, "Is there any invisible equipment?"
"Or maybe it's the folding space. I'll try to contact Xu Ze. He's more knowledgeable about this." He Ziqian immediately took action, found the dungeon's control panel, and then tried to establish a connection between his personal terminal and the dungeon's control system.
In this regard, although he is not as professional as Xu Ze, he is still much better than the average person. To a certain extent, he is also at the expert level. At this moment, he is moving his fingers on the dungeon control panel so fast that afterimages are left, which makes Ruan Xi dizzy.
Anyway, he didn't understand what was going on, but he was sure that He Ziqian would never do anything in vain, so he just had to wait quietly for the result.
"Captain!" About ten minutes later, Xu Ze's voice suddenly rang out, and Ruan Xi immediately became alert. Xiaoguai, who was so bored that he was looking for cracks in the wall, also rushed over immediately.
"Have you found it? Have you found it? I found it too!" Maybe it was because Xiaoguai's voice was too cheerful, or maybe it was because He Ziqian finally came, Xu Ze on the other end of the communication couldn't help but burst out laughing. At the same time, Ruan Xi also vaguely heard the laughter of others.
"Xiaoguai, the captain found us. What did you find?" Han Qing also joked. Xiaoguai immediately replied, "I found a crack in the wall! It's a little wide, the little tree should be able to fit in!"
Xiaoguai's words startled everyone on both ends of the line. After several seconds, Ruan Xi grabbed Xiaoguai and asked anxiously, "Son, where is that crack?"
Perhaps, this is the key to scoring!
"It's over there!" Xiaoguai said while pointing to the direction he had just run from, and pulled Ruan Xi towards that direction. Soon, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian both saw the crack.
However, the color of this crack was very similar to that of the surrounding walls, and it was so thin that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Ruan Xi almost went blind before he found the crack with Xiaoguai's guidance.
"Xu Ze, can you crack the system?" It sounded like a question, but He Ziqian's tone clearly indicated he was giving an order. Xu Ze immediately replied, "No problem, I'll crack the system right away."
Xu Ze fell silent after he responded, and the others stopped talking, as if they were afraid of disturbing Xu Ze. Half an hour later, Ruan Xi and the other two, who had been staring at the gap, suddenly heard a click sound of a door opening not far away, and they couldn't help but look back in surprise.
"The door is open?" Well, isn't this the crack where the breakthrough is? How did the door suddenly open?
"I'll go check it out..." Xiaoguai was about to jump over there, but was caught tightly by a branch that appeared out of nowhere and was dragged back to Ruan Xi. "Wait here, I'll go check it out."
"Big tree, be careful, it might be a trap." He Ziqian reminded in a deep voice. The big tree responded and its branches shot out with a whoosh.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ruan Xi and the other two felt a shaking and vibration under their feet, but the sound was very small. If they walked a few more steps further, they probably wouldn't hear anything. This situation felt a bit weird.
It really is a trap!
"It's a trap! The door wasn't open at all, it just made a noise. I triggered the mechanism before I even got close to it, but it didn't trap me." The big tree said this with a bit of pride, and its branches swung in the air a few times, making snapping sounds.
"Captain, what's going on over there? I haven't finished yet, it won't be that fast!" Xu Ze's voice came from He Ziqian's personal terminal at this time, with a bit of anxiety, worried that something might happen to them.
"We're fine, go ahead."
This time the wait seemed even longer, making Ruan Xi think that almost a whole night had passed, but in fact, only an hour had passed.
"Ziqian, my eyes are a little dizzy, and the slit is a bit double..." Ruan Xi closed her eyes to calm down, but then she heard He Ziqian say, "It's not double, the slit is open!"
"Huh?" Ruan Xi was a little confused, but he subconsciously opened his eyes. At a glance, he saw that the gap had indeed become larger, and it really looked like there were double images in front of his eyes.
"It's done! Captain, little doctor, the eldest prince has been poisoned and is unconscious. We have no way to help him. Little doctor, please save him!" Yuan Hongwei didn't tell them the situation until he was the first to rush out of the gap that had become as wide as two adults. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian couldn't help but feel their hearts sink when they heard it. They immediately looked inside and saw that Ren Wei was carrying someone on his back. Wasn't that the unconscious eldest prince?
Ruan Xi immediately rushed forward to check on the eldest prince, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's okay. I've seen this poison before. I just cured the third prince, so I have experience." It turned out that the eldest prince and the third prince were poisoned by the same neurotoxin. Ruan Xi immediately felt relieved, and the other half was also relieved after successfully detoxifying the eldest prince.
"Well, Captain, should we leave the Presidential Palace first? I think the President has gone crazy and is completely unreasonable! He seems to want to kill everyone around him. The Second Prince has already died at his hands!"
The Eighth Prince spoke with lingering fear. He Ziqian was shocked and immediately asked, "Is the Second Prince dead?"
"Yes, the second prince is usually quite extravagant. Even though the president is so crazy, he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Look, during a conflict, he was stabbed in the heart by a sword. Fortunately, the little doctor came, otherwise, the eldest prince and the third prince would not be saved." Lao Jiu also had a lingering fear on his face, and patted his chest after he finished speaking.
"So where is the president now?"
"Maybe he went to the central base. Now it is the war dispatch headquarters. We have been trapped by the president for a day and a night. We don't know what is going on at the base. If the president really went there, President Tian will definitely be in trouble..." Han Qing also frowned, looking like he couldn't stay here at all.
"I suspect the president has taken numerous drugs to achieve immortality, perhaps even undergoing body modifications, causing irreversible damage... No, we need to get to the base immediately. You can never underestimate the destructive power of a madman, especially one who holds such high rank and power, commanding so many people."
As the president, who in the central base can he not command?
"Hurry up! Go now! Damn, with Mr. Tian's temper, something bad is bound to happen!" Yun Sheng shouted as he rushed out, calling out to other teammates to follow him.
"team leader?"
"You go first. I can't leave the emperor here. It's better to take the third prince with us." Otherwise, as soon as they turned around, all the rescue of these two people would be in vain.
"Yes!" Upon hearing the order, Han Qing immediately rushed out with the other team members and rushed to the central base as quickly as possible.
Lao Ba and Lao Jiu stayed behind to help He Ziqian move people, planning to go to the central base first to subdue the crazy president, and then find a way to meet General He.
However, plans never change quickly. Before they reached the central base, General He actually contacted them on his own initiative.
"Ruan Xi, He Ziqian, and... Xiaoguai, I want you to come and see me right away. No one can be missing. I'll give you an hour." Then, the communication stopped abruptly. Admiral He didn't even tell them where to find him.
"Fuck! Another lunatic! Captain, I understand General He specifically asked to see you and the young doctor, but why does Xiaoguai want to go too?"
Lao Ba cursed and asked the doubts in his mind.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian didn't say anything. They both knew the answer in their hearts but couldn't say it.
Because Xiaoguai is a successful alien parasite, one of a kind.
"General He, has he really been parasitized by an alien parasite? What does he want to do?" At this time, he did not directly start a war, but asked to see them specifically. It was obviously not without purpose.
The most likely reason is to get the secret of Xiaoguai's success.
That alien parasite wants to continue to survive!
"Captain..." Lao Ba saw that the atmosphere between his captain and the young doctor was a little strange, and subconsciously called out to him, but he didn't know what to ask next.
"Locate Admiral He's current location. Let's go meet him."
"...Yes!" Although Lao Ba was confused and worried, he still obeyed the captain's order and immediately contacted his teammates who had returned to the central base earlier. He soon learned the current location of General He.
"Captain, let's go with you..." Lao Jiu held it in for a long time before finally uttering these words. But looking at He Ziqian's expression, he knew that the captain would definitely not agree.
Sure enough, He Ziqian immediately shook his head at him.
"You go back to the base and protect the eldest prince, Mr. Tian, and my grandfather." As for the second prince who was lying side by side with the eldest prince, he had been completely ignored.
"yes!"
Then, He Ziqian took Ruan Xi and Xiaoguai out of the car. After watching the flying car leave, he summoned Chi Lin and drove the mecha towards the location where General He was.
Admiral He's spaceship was currently parked in space outside the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital Star, heavily surrounded by Sirius warships. It was practically impenetrable, and forcing its way in was impossible. However, upon seeing Chi Lin, these warships silently made way for him, not even bothering to question him.
"Hasn't anyone around Grandpa He noticed that something is wrong with him?" Ruan Xi frowned and kept analyzing the possible situation on General He's side.
However, if there were more, it would give him a headache.
"You'll know when we meet. There's no point in thinking too much now." He Ziqian looked as calm as ever. Chi Lin quickly landed on an ordinary warship that was surrounded by layers of guards in the center. As soon as he got out of the mecha, Ruan Xi saw Admiral He who came to greet them in person.
"Xiaoxi, Ziqian, and Xiaoguai, you are here."
This tone and expression are exactly the same as those of Grandpa He in the past. Could it be that they were wrong and Grandpa He was not infected by an alien parasite at all?
No! The current General He was completely different from the General He who had spoken to them before. His eyes were completely different.
"Grandpa He, why did you ask us to come here? Do you... know who it is?"
Ruan Xi had a bit of difficulty saying the last sentence, but General He smiled very calmly, looking like he understood everything, and yet seemed to understand nothing, which made Ruan Xi and He Ziqian a little confused.
Xiaoguai had never met General He before. This was their first meeting, and he had a bad impression of him before, so he was a little resistant. He kept hiding behind Ruan Xi and He Ziqian. However, out of curiosity, he would occasionally look forward and soon attracted General He's attention.
"This must be Xiaoguai, just like what Old Man An said, a lovely child..." Admiral He suddenly stopped talking, and his facial expression quickly twisted. In a flash, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at Xiaoguai, he looked especially fierce and greedy.
Xiaoguai immediately shrank behind Ruan Xi and said, "Dad, the bad alien is in this old man's body!"
Xiaoguai was the most sensitive to alien races. When they heard him say that, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian immediately took a fighting stance, but it was too late. General He had already rushed forward in a strange posture. His speed was so fast that Ruan Xi only felt a flash before his eyes. The next moment, he felt a dull pain in his chest and flew backwards uncontrollably.
"Dad!" Xiaoguai hid behind Ruan Xi. Before he could rush out, he saw his father being attacked, so he quickly leaned back, trying to stop Ruan Xi from flying backwards. In front of him, He Ziqian quickly stopped General He who wanted to attack Ruan Xi again, and just managed to stop his attack at the last second, and immediately started a fierce fight with him.
Xiaoguai followed the force of Ruan Xi's backward flight, jumped back a bit, and then used force to stop Ruan Xi. But even so, Ruan Xi was still beaten to the point of spitting blood, and looked very embarrassed.
Ruan Xi was about to curse in her heart, "Damn, why are you so mean? Just come up and fight! Aren't they said that villains talk more? And he said he was a person favored by the goddess of luck. This is simply the god of bad luck!"
"Dad, are you okay? You vomited blood..." Xiaoguai looked at Ruan Xi like this, feeling so distressed that his eyes turned red. Ruan Xi quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll be fine after some rest. Dad is fine. Go help your father and beat the bad guys down. Then nothing will happen to us."
Now that they have come to this, Ruan Xi will not hide anything and not let Xiaoguai take action. After all, his Xiaoguai's fighting power is so high that beating a loser is definitely not a problem.
"Well, Dad, wait for me to avenge you!"
Xiaoguai was already burning with anger at this moment. He helped Ruan Xi sit in a place that looked relatively safe, then rushed forward and joined the battle.
General He was already old, and after being infected by the alien parasite, even with the bonus of combat power, he could not be stronger than He Ziqian and Xiaoguai together. His behavior of attacking Ruan Xi first was obviously the most stupid. Didn’t he see that He Ziqian and Xiaoguai were completely enraged?
If the body shell wasn't still General He's, this thing wouldn't know how it would die!
Sure enough, within a few minutes, General He was stepped on by Xiaoguai. If He Ziqian had not stopped him, he would probably have jumped up and down on General He by now.
"Kill... him... He Jun... from beginning to end... did not... participate... in protecting him..." The expression on General He's face looked extremely distorted at this moment, and his body was shaking violently because of the pain, but even so, he still said these words in a broken voice.
These words sound like a last will and testament.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were both shocked when they heard this and quickly asked, "Grandpa He, is that you?"
"Xiao Xi... I... I really can't bear it anymore, but He Jun... he is innocent, he is not involved... I am now trapping this monster with my body. Pierce my heart and it will kill it! Kill it..." As General He spoke, he began to vomit blood, and the blood was an ominous black color.
Ruan Xi unconsciously looked towards General He's chest and saw that his chest was heaving, as if something was trying to come out.
“Kill it!”
General He vomited blood while constantly urging, and seeing the light in his eyes begin to distort again, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian knew that General He was about to be unable to contain the alien parasite in his body.
"I'll do it!" Ruan Xi didn't dare to delay any longer. He took out his dagger and stabbed it into General He's chest without hesitation. For a moment after the dagger pierced General He's chest, he heard a sharp scream, but soon the scream disappeared.
"Big tree, give me some leaves!" After confirming that the alien parasite in General He's body was dead, Ruan Xi immediately called out to the big tree, and the big tree tacitly gave him a handful of its own leaves. Ruan Xi held the leaves of the Tree of Life in his palm and squeezed them hard against General He's lips. Light green juice flowed down, flashing a faint light, as if carrying endless vitality, and flowed into General He's mouth.
Then, Ruan Xi took out the surgical tools he had picked up and cut open General He's left chest without hesitation. At the same time, he used his wood-based abilities to protect the flesh, blood vessels exposed to the air, and the still weakly beating heart, and reached in to grab the alien parasite trapped in General He's body.
He Jun rushed over and saw this scene, and he immediately went crazy.
"Father!"
"Stop him!" Ruan Xi didn't even dare to turn his head, only focusing on the movements of his hands.
He Ziqian went to stop He Jun the moment Ruan Xi opened his mouth. The two of them started fighting fiercely almost immediately, and He Jun's angry roar lingered for a long time.
Ruan Xi was highly focused and completed the operation as quickly as possible. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that General He's vital signs were stable.
"Okay, stop fighting, General He is not dead!" Ruan Xi leaned back and sat down on the ground, breathing slightly with exhaustion.
Oh my god, this is so exciting!
Fortunately, General He is still alive!
When He Jun heard this, he immediately stopped. He Ziqian also stopped in time and immediately returned to Ruan Xi to prevent He Jun from attacking again.
But it turned out that He Ziqian worried too much. His whole mind was on his father and he had no time to pay attention to others.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian quietly retreated to a corner. Xiaoguai also came over and asked with blinking eyes, "Dad, you're so awesome! You killed that bad alien! That old man is fine now!"
"Well, Xiaoguai is the main contributor. When I'm done, Dad will make you a delicious cake!"
"Yeah! I want cake!"
The family of three was having a great time here, and General He woke up slowly over there. He looked at his son, then at Ruan Xi and the others, and finally, he chuckled with relief.
"I hope that His Royal Highness the Third Prince can give justice to my He family."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian immediately understood that the old man had finally figured it out and decided not to fight anymore!
"Great! No more fighting! Let's leave the rest to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. We can finally rest!"
Ruan Xi raised the corners of her lips and smiled with curved eyebrows. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"Let's go, let's go back to find grandpa. I don't know how worried he must be about us right now!"
"Well, go home."
