Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 178 Steel Dragon [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Luo Gandao didn't slow down the pace. After piloting the Gundam for ten days, he became the number one Gundam pilot in the God Space.

Even if... he might have been the first one to do so.

After ten days of intensive training, with Li Shuaixi as a partner, and with Chu Xuan removing the restrictions on [New Humans], Luo Gandao could theoretically activate Destruction Mode—of course, this is just theory.

To be fair, Luo Gandao's gene lock and cultivation level are not low, but after all, he has not yet reached the fourth level, nor has he formally undergone any psychokinetic enhancement. His mental strength is still somewhat lacking.

However, in the future, the Zhongzhou team will have a very special newcomer.

One of the members of the Celestial Thieves, Emperor Haotian. A second-generation genetically modified human, his intelligence and telekinesis genes were modified, giving him innate telekinesis that is close to the fourth level.

In the original work, Haotian and Luo Gandao of the Demon Team had a very good relationship and even spent three reincarnations together.

Furthermore, later developments revealed that Luo Gandao was the reincarnation of a saint from the Mud Clan, and Haotian was the reincarnation of a saint from the Pigeon Clan…

Therefore, they are also jokingly referred to as the Mud Pigeon Duo.

This Haotian is quite a talent. Although he may have been bewitched by Adam and appears to be a clownish character in the original story, telekinesis doesn't lie.

The current Central Continent team has two more fourth-tier combatants than you could play mahjong with. Faced with absolute power, Haotian is powerless and can only obediently become a sacrifice to the Ape Emperor Dao Shi.

At the very least, it's a human-powered motivation.

What's even more abstract is that, in the original story, Li Shuaixi, Luo Gandao, and Haotian were all killed by Chu Xuan, either directly or indirectly.

The three of them are so compatible that they are like an iron triangle. The experts on Tieba jokingly call them the "Hot-blooded Mud Pigeon" trio—because adding Li Shuai and Mud Pigeon together makes them "burn with passion".

Due to the enhanced system combination, Luo Gandao is powerless without his mecha, and the Hellfire burns his soul and mental power. As a result, the adult Li Shuaixi can often easily defend against two traitors, making him unparalleled throughout the ages.

Leaving aside the three-in-one future plan, Fang Ge began to move forward with the next step of the plan.

Go to Sona Island to capture the Ancient Dragon. Stick to the principle of only capturing the initial four types and not messing with the intermediate four types... because it's unnecessary; doing so will only cause the next horror movie to spawn an even stronger [World Boss].

He doesn't want to fight Demon Lord Chonglou yet!
As for the opponent in the team battle? May he live a long life.

Fang Ge is already researching the [World Boss].

"Everyone redeem 10 days of Jurassic World. Since Sona Island is a restricted area and teleportation is not allowed, we will teleport to the previous temporary base first."

That was a research base built within the Jurassic World interlude, though it was essentially abandoned, and the majority of the Reincarnation Army had been slaughtered by Ming Yanwei as a practice.

It can serve as a temporary shelter and is absolutely safe.

Considering safety factors, Fang Ge, seeking stability, put everyone into the inner world before entering the horror movie.

According to information provided by Zhang Jie, an industry insider, there is indeed a side quest on Sona Island called "Investigating the Secrets of an International Gene Technology Company," with rewards varying.

This means that the intensity of the task is fixed, and as long as it's not too excessive, no monsters or demons will emerge.

With a fourth-order primary gene lock and Nascent Soul stage cultivation, even without a means of transportation like a flying sword, Fang Ge's flight speed is enough to surpass the speed of sound.

Before long, they arrived at... the dinosaur breeding base in the original story, above Sona Island.

"Seeing terrain like this always leaves me speechless."

Fang Ge glanced disdainfully at Sona Island and couldn't help but sigh.

To put it simply, it's the "Gathering Place of Demons".

After the main god strengthened it, it became a nearly circular island with a radius of about 120 kilometers.

From above, you can see distinct zoning patterns... deserts, forests, ice fields, valleys, volcanoes, and highlands, roughly these are the six types of terrain.

Such a small place, yet it has such a dense ecosystem… Fang Ge wouldn't believe a word anyone who said there weren't special ley lines and Crimson Dragons beneath this island. In the very center, there's a small plot of land that has clearly undergone technological development, obviously the research base of [International Gene Technology Company].

According to Fang Ge's speculation, this contains not only information on creating "monsters," but also information related to human modification.

After all, the identity that the main god gave them was that of "modified humans" in the company's security department.

"Zhan Lan, count the number of monsters."

"There are many... or rather, there are no ordinary living beings at all. Each region has at least one extremely high-energy individual!"

So, there are at least six ordinary Elder Dragons?
Just as Fang Ge was thinking this, a figure suddenly soared up from the top of a giant tree at the highest point of the forest!

In an instant, a gale howled and the clouds churned!
The loud dragon roar startled all the fire dragons and other monsters that were originally circling in the air, causing them to scatter and flee in all directions. They were clearly terrified of the owner of the sound.

"I haven't even come looking for you yet... and you've already come knocking on my door. You must be out of your mind."

Fang Ge grinned as he watched the black dot grow larger.

A four-legged, two-winged ancient dragon with a metallic sheen.

Steel Dragon!

With each flap of its enormous metal wings, gusts of wind were stirred up!

Almost instantly, it arrived near Fang Ge!

As the surging life energy within its body surges, even the gale is under its control, and the torrential rain follows in quick succession!

This unreasonable, massive storm had an undeniable black hue, and the swirling gales quickly enveloped Fang Ge. The wind was like a sharp blade, and even he could not ignore it.

This is the ancient dragon's area-of-effect damage ability. If it were Gandalf's brother, he would lose control and be torn apart by the gale in just a few seconds!
Even now, the only ones the Central Continent Team can take with a calm attitude are Fang Ge, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, Orochi, and Unicorn Gundam.

The Yin-Yang True Essence transformed into a protective shield, allowing Fang Ge to stand steadily in the howling wind, pondering how to make it behave.

To create the best "Monster Possession" item, the ancient dragon must be a living being when it's crafted into equipment. However, directly capturing it and placing it in the inner world will inevitably result in it using area-of-effect (AoE) skills to damage the Central Continent team's belongings.

"Zhan Lan, is it controllable?"

Fang Ge narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly.

“No, at least not at his peak. His life energy and spiritual power are unified, and at the same time, they are accompanied by a… very peculiar power.” Zhan Lan hesitated, unsure how to describe it.

"Is it as if the whole world is helping it?"

Fang Ge pointed out the problem: Gu Long, to some extent, is an ecological messenger and will be favored by nature.

Therefore, they cannot kill and plunder too much, otherwise they will surely incur the punishment of the world... In addition, the increased difficulty rules of the Main God Space will make things even more difficult.

“Let’s analyze… what kind of wound can calm it down without killing it.”

He had a general idea, but needed a more precise answer.

Zhan Lan marked the corresponding locations with her mental chains.

Steel Dragon did not stop during their conversation.

It took a deep breath, and a powerful wind-attribute energy gathered in its mouth!
At this moment, all the winds stopped—it's hard to say that this is a capability caused by some biological organ, but rather more like a kind of "power".

Charge up the wind and exhale!

"boom!"
