Chapter 1383: 455. The sly rabbit has no den_2
But to its utter disappointment, all that effort turned out to be in vain, and aside from being seriously injured, it gained nothing.
Fortunately, it was a Dragon Man who liked to prepare multiple plans.
If Plan A failed, then it would execute Plan B.
Now, here on this resource planet, there were many soul constructs that had long been marked for plunder.
The Dragon Man planned to take control of them, gather them together, and then arrange the ceremony entrusted by its master to teleport all the spoils of war to its master’s side.
The reason why Plan B was not Plan A is obviously because it had unavoidable weaknesses.
...
The planet below is a resource planet that has no warfare.
The soul constructs that lived and worked here were inclined towards using their brains rather than fighting.
In other words, their “Spirit” and “Perception” were somewhat stronger, whereas their “Strength” and “Constitution” were weaker.
The Dragon kin always demanded both physical fitness and intelligence.
But they always believed that only by first growing strong physically could they afford the space to develop their intelligence.
So, such physically weak but smart soul constructs were inferior to those who were simple-minded but physically robust.
That’s why Plan B was inferior to Plan A.
Taking the capsule elevator from the underground cold storage to the towering ecological High Tower, the Dragon Man blended into the bustling crowd, becoming an inconspicuous cold storage attendant.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows that wrapped around the entire floor, the sea of clouds was vast, under a clear sky for thousands of miles.
Drones responsible for fertilizing and watering took off from the ecological High Tower, dived through the clouds, and went down to the ground to water the artificially cultured plants and grass.
In a scene of busyness and order, the Dragon Man disguised itself very well.
But in its heart, there was always a fleeting sense of unease and urgency.
“Could something be chasing me?”
The Dragon Man paused in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, using the action of gazing at the sea of clouds to survey the starry sky above.
All it saw was the deep and silent blue sky and the pale golden sun, with nothing out of the ordinary.
Perhaps the impact of the previous explosion was so great that even here, thousands of light-years from the explosion site, it was still haunted by the memory.
The Dragon Man steadied its spirit, retracted its gaze, and rushed to confirm the targets of Plan B.
After it left the area near the floor-to-ceiling window, an invisible distortion of light and shadow flashed outside the window.
This was none other than the Snow-winged Cat, guarded by the “Veil of Different Worlds”.
Noland Lee activated the “Magic Pipe Network” and, among the many energy threads disrupted by the explosion, found the one belonging to the Dragon Man.
Following this thread, the Snow-winged Cat made successive leaps, locking onto this resource planet in the Eguaralr Galaxy and then finding the Dragon Man among the crowd.
Noland Lee saw all this through his Magic Vision.
He couldn’t act yet, as there were simply too many Ordinary People around the Dragon Man.
Moreover, this resource galaxy was a property of the United Bureau.
If Noland were to battle the Dragon Man here and destroy the facilities on the resource planet, he would have to explain himself to the United Bureau, no matter what.
To minimize unnecessary trouble, Noland decided to wait longer.
He needed to wait until the Dragon Man left the ecological High Tower before he could act officially.
“Kitty, follow it and see what it’s up to.”
“Meow~” noveldrama
Noland issued a command, then began preparing new magical items.
He found the content related to the Dragon Man in Passive Deconstruction, becoming aware of the “Metallic Avatar Swap” extraordinary ability.
Intent on not letting the Dragon Man escape again, Noland now needed to create a magical item capable of blocking teleportation.
Based on the Passive Deconstruction of the Quantum Leap Interference Field Generator, the “Heart of Magic” provided new Spell Blueprints and sculpting plans.
The magical item named “Anti-Teleportation Barrier” became Noland’s first choice.
He held the Rune Staff, forming Runes in midair.
With a quick glance, he caught a glimpse of the player’s screen where the Dragon Man was visible.
Noland’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help muttering,
“Why is this guy going after players again? Does he have a peculiar fetish for always targeting players?”
Without a second thought, Noland opened the Game Interface and reported the situation to “Command”.
“Command” had also been continually searching for the Dragon Man’s whereabouts.
Almost at the moment Noland discovered the Dragon Man’s contact with a player, “Command” used its extraordinary abilities and witnessed the scene.
It overheard the conversation between the Dragon Man and the player through the first-person perspective of the player.
Seeing that Noland had also noticed the same situation, “Command” wrote on the Game Interface,
“From the conversation content between this Metallic Ancestor Dragon Avatar and the player, it is inquiring about the whereabouts of a dozen players, apparently wanting to grasp their specific movements. The players it asked about are not in this ecological High Tower; otherwise, it could have easily located their whereabouts just by sensing the metal of the High Tower.”
Noland drew the final stroke on the Magic Barrier and typed,
“I’m ready here. Do you have a way to guide it to a deserted area? I can trap it with the magic barrier at any time and eliminate it.”
“I’ll try…”
As “Command” sent this message, the player talking to the Dragon Man suddenly feigned a realization, pretending to have just remembered something, and gave the Dragon Man several directions to locations outside the tower.
