Chapter 199: The Last Message
Just now, Charle used a Limit Charge, a skill belonging to warriors. Although it can only move in a straight line, its speed is indeed fast, exceeding the nerve reflexes of normal creatures. Even the Dragon Girls couldn’t react in time. Two of them were killed on the spot by the Ghost Blade Halberds in her hands, and another one who blocked in front was directly knocked away.
Every Dragon Girl has the physical quality of a Limit Warrior. Due to the difference in size, their body density is even higher than that of a Limit Warrior. However, facing Charle, they are still as fragile as rag dolls, with three dying in one move.
However, this also stimulated the Dragon Girls. As the Red Dragon bloodline was further activated, their expressions became ferocious, their mouths almost splitting to their ears, full of fangs. Their tongues were not only long but also forked. Owen could even see the firelight brewing in their throats, which felt like red-hot exhaust pipes.
At the same time, the beastification of their limbs was also quite serious, becoming more like dragon claws. A pair of dragon wings grew out from their backs, flapping and actually flying up, circling in the air, and spitting out scorching pillars of fire.
Even Charle frowned at this. She was only good at ground combat and couldn’t fly.
The Limit Warriors who had fallen into a disadvantage before did not retreat to rest. After seeing the enemy’s transformation, they all raised their Bolters in unison. Amidst the roars, deadly Bolter Shells shot out of the muzzles.
Although the Dragon Girls could fly, the problem was that this was an underground ruin. Even though the space was relatively large, it was not enough for a dozen Dragon Girls to fly freely and dodge in the air, let alone the Bolters were firing continuously. Four Dragon Girls were hit before they could dodge, and the scene was horrible. The terrifying power instantly shattered one-third of their bodies and roasted the remaining parts to medium-well.
Truly medium-well. Owen smacked his lips in pity. The Dragon Girls were actually quite attractive, especially when fighting, occasionally doing a big turn or a split in the air. It was like two moon rabbits swaying, opening up a new world in the Full Moon Valley, a truly unique sight.
Although the sentence is not coherent, they are indeed good-looking, but unfortunately, they are cooked now.
Of course, although still hot, Owen didn’t intend to take advantage of the situation. At this time, he couldn’t help but sigh that Black Glue Crystals were a miraculous product of nature and alchemy. Who would have thought that the body fluids of a kind of insect in the Magic Horn Tree Forest could actually burn, and the temperature released was so high that it could melt steel. Combined with the alchemy from the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, it maximized the explosive characteristics. Even the Dragon Girls, who were dragon descendants, would explode with one shot.
There was nothing much to say next. In a place with limited space, whoever had the upper hand would simply slaughter. Especially when a Legendary Warrior and a witch who cast spells randomly joined a battle that was originally relatively fair, the killing became even faster. After a volley of fire from the Limit Warriors, the battle ended.
However, the Dragon Girls’ vitality was indeed tenacious. Even if only one-third of their bodies remained, as long as their brains and hearts were fine, even if they were a bit cooked, they could still breathe. Owen couldn’t bear it, so he quickly asked Charle to give them a quick death.
Crack, crack. Heads rolled all over the floor. Owen couldn’t bear to watch, so he let the Limit Warriors take the lead and explore the laboratory that had opened its doors on its own.
The laboratory used a special kind of crystal as a light source, which was very bright after being connected to magic power, illuminating the football field-sized space as bright as day.
The Limit Warriors who stepped into the laboratory did not encounter any attacks. Obviously, the Dragon Girls were the last resort.
Owen felt a little relieved and then asked Warm Baby to start scanning the surroundings, while he began to look at the equipment here that combined technology and magic.
Judging from the traces on the ground, some equipment had been moved away. Logically speaking, the equipment that was moved away was obviously the most valuable, but Owen didn’t care. He quickly came to the largest piece of equipment in the middle of the laboratory.
This piece of equipment was too conspicuous. It was 20 meters high, connected to the ceiling above and the ground below, like a cylindrical metal building. However, it was definitely not that simple, because most of the instruments connected around it were obviously serving it.
Owen called Warm Baby over and scanned the instrument first.
Warm Baby didn’t know what it touched, but the base of the instrument unfolded, revealing large and small crystal balls, embedded on it according to a certain pattern.
The ruins also used a similar technology to Spiritualized Crystal Balls, except that the programs woven with runes were very backward.
It couldn’t be said to be backward, only inefficient.
Each crystal ball had a program, representing a function, but lacked system integration.
With the technological level displayed by this laboratory, this was obviously abnormal. Owen asked Warm Baby to connect to the Flame Empress mainframe and conduct a large-scale scan of the surroundings, and found some clues.
The main system of this laboratory, or rather the ruins, was missing, or it could be said that it had been transferred away. No wonder the response was so rigid.
Because of the previous experience in cracking the Bloodline Induction Editor, Warm Baby quickly completed the cracking after the collected programs were synchronously transmitted to the Flame Empress mainframe.
“This thing is actually an incubation chamber?” Owen was really stunned. Such a large incubation chamber, it must be containing a dragon.
But it was very possible. Without a dragon, where did so many Dragon Girls come from?
As the program was continuously cracked, the crystal balls lit up with the Flame Empress’s logo, and Owen could access more and more information.
“Red Dragon Multi-Purpose Feasibility Experiment.” Owen kept flipping through the experimental catalog and found that he couldn’t underestimate the technological level of this ruin in its prime.
And Owen couldn’t imagine what level the descendants of the people in the ruins could reach after thousands of years of development.
At this time, the Flame Empress sent over a message, which was obviously very important, so Owen immediately clicked to view it.
This was found from a crystal ball specifically for storing information. The date was cut off after this message, which meant that this was the last message.
“What happened back then that even such a large ruin was abandoned?” This was what Owen had always been puzzled about.
The entire ruin was well-preserved. Except for the bones of the captive monsters and livestock, there were no bones here, not even pet bones.
In other words, the people here evacuated on their own initiative, and were not wiped out.
The question was, what happened that required the entire ruin to be evacuated urgently?
“Maybe we can find the answer here.” Owen looked at the message, his eyes full of curiosity.
The message was unexpectedly short, and the content was also very simple. It was mainly a notice that the Void Storm was about to arrive, that Temporary Immigration Base 1083 was about to be closed, and that all personnel were to evacuate immediately.
Both the Void Storm and the four-digit base number made Owen deeply feel the power of the force to which the ruins belonged.
This also confirmed that humans were indeed outsiders to this world, and that there was indeed an extremely powerful human force constantly migrating outwards. This was the case here, and the world of the Azure Sea was probably the same.
So the question was, if this unknown human force was so powerful that it could migrate across worlds, why didn’t they leave any information?
Judging from the fact that humans after a thousand years didn’t know about these things at all, there was a problem with the human empire in Owen’s world. The empire deliberately erased this information, but it was unknown what the purpose was.
