Chapter 7, Starship Wreckage
This appears to be nothing special, as the house is actually constructed from pieces of board joined together, with a very simple craftsmanship. However, over the years, the roof has been covered with moss and flowering vines, which have concealed the rough and crude seams, making the entire valley look magnificent.
She is very kind; if it were not for her, perhaps Huang Quan would have already perished in the forest. She is also very naive, so naive that she trusted Huang Quan solely because he spoke the language of her people.
Huang Quan suddenly felt a bit confused about this place. After thinking for a moment, he continued to fasten the girl's clothes and walked to the window to look outside
Some beautiful curves can only be achieved with naval steel plates, which are crafted to such perfection. The entire roof of the central hall is a single piece, resembling a section of the hull from a crashed starship, brought over in its entirety.
Does this camp possess some kind of power that can prevent the entry of ferocious beasts
Huang Quan furrowed his brows slightly, forcefully suppressing the immediate urge to investigate the central large house. This settlement was shrouded in thick mist, appearing quite primitive, yet it exhibited a level of civilization that was distinctly different from that of primitive tribes, along with highly technological products.
Is it possible that this settlement is actually built on the wreckage of a starship
This is quite strange; even the most primitive and savage tribes would not completely forgo having night watchmen. Even in the absence of enemies, if a fierce beast were to sneak into the camp, it could cause significant trouble
A beam of moonlight filtered through the window, casting faint outlines on everything within the room. A mere glimmer of light is sufficient for the underworld.
This at least indicates that these seemingly primitive settlers have already mastered the method to activate or deactivate the holy radiance, a challenge that even the empire has not resolved
As he was deep in thought, a shadow suddenly swept past the window. Huang Quan immediately darted to the window, hiding in the shadow, ready to deliver a fatal blow to whatever might break in, completely unprepared.
However, how could the steel plates used for the starship appear here
If there truly exists a starship beneath the camp, then Huang Quan is confident that he can locate the intelligent brain that records its navigational information. Even if the intelligent brain has shut down, as long as it is not too severely damaged, he may still be able to repair it or retrieve the information contained within the intelligent brain
Huang Quan looked towards the central mansion again, recalling the radiant energy that had overflowed from there. He could sense that with the extinguishing of all the lights in the valley, the central mansion no longer emitted any radiant energy.
This fabric should only have emerged after considerable technological advancements; the dense weaving alone is not something that can be achieved by hand.
Even upon entering this place and feeling the sacred radiance, his thoughts were still of exploration and plunder
He extended his finger to gently stroke the fracture, then used a hunting knife to scrape off a small piece of metal shavings and tasted it in his mouth. Finally, he confirmed that this metal plate was a piece of marine-grade steel, and its specifications were remarkably high, specifically designed as a special steel plate for warships intended for interstellar voyages
It is truly an incomprehensible emotion
In the eyes of the underworld, adult men may not fear ferocious beasts, but those children certainly lack the ability to withstand such beasts
Compared to the Yellow Springs, the fine lines on her body are much sparser, with a dull luster, and are only distributed in important areas such as the thighs, arms, and waist, unlike the Yellow Springs which are spread all over the body
This settlement is evidently quite primitive, as there is no sign of a developed energy system. From their weapons, it is clear that only handcraft workshops exist; where would advanced looms come from?
However, in fact, within the constant illumination of the Holy Radiance, filtration and dilution represent the utmost capabilities of imperial technology, and there is absolutely no way to achieve obstruction and shielding
He slowly brought the girl's clothes together, fastening each button with gentle movements just as he had at the beginning, without disturbing her in the slightest. However, after fastening the undergarment, Huang Quan suddenly paused, pinching the corner of the undergarment and gently twisting it.
More importantly, in the application of Shenghui, such small settlements seem to be ahead of the empire.
These muscles appear to be no different from ordinary muscles, but once activated, they can unleash a power ten times greater than that of normal muscles in an instant
Generally, the functions of starships are far more advanced than those of ordinary spacecraft. Even in the event of a crash, certain key equipment within the ship, such as the intelligent brain that records long-distance travel and mission information, can continue to operate on its own energy for over a thousand years, awaiting the rescue of subsequent imperial forces or the retrieval of critical data
The fabric of the chest binder is smooth and delicate, offering an excellent tactile experience, comparable to the intimate garments of the nobility in the Empire.
After examining the girl's body, Huang Quan became increasingly certain that there must be a Holy Radiance Stone in this settlement. Perhaps it is not very large, but the level of energy it emits is not much lower than that of the massive stone once possessed by the empire
Although the empire refers to the Holy Radiance Stone as the Stone of Eternal Light, signifying that powerful energy endures forever within the territory of the empire
He has gained a considerable understanding of her physical structure. At this moment, in the vision of the Yellow Springs, the girl also has faint red threads on her body. These threads share the same origin as the red threads within the Yellow Springs.
The wandering thoughts lasted but a moment, as he quietly got out of bed, slightly bent over, and began to roam his hands over the girl's body. His fingertips were as gentle as a light breeze, unknowingly brushing against every corner of the girl's form.
It can be said that his very existence is a miracle. Except when injured, Huangquan hardly requires sleep.
In this way, the underworld can at least ascertain the origin of this starship, the individuals and cargo it carries, the mission it is undertaking, and so forth
Huang Quan suddenly recalled the incident of waking up after being injured for the first time, wanting to feign unconsciousness, but was seen through by her at a glance
The past of the underworld is entirely a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Cities, and even planets, that have been completely destroyed by the Dragon Rider battle camp are not few in number, let alone the numerous ordinary battles of various scales.
But outside the window, it is quiet, with nothing at all
The entire valley was enveloped in silence, with not a single light to be seen, nor any signs of activity from people. Everyone was asleep, and there was not even a night watchman present.
He gently sat up and looked at the girl beside him
The young girl sleeps soundly, yet the underworld cannot find rest
His body is the crystallization of the perfect combination of the empire's highest technology and sacred radiance. These two completely different attributes of energy are firmly integrated under the unprecedentedly powerful bloodline force within him
Just now, during the probing, Huangquan had already fully experienced that astonishing elasticity
Perhaps this little one possesses an astonishing intuition. She instinctively chose to trust and slept beside him, revealing her vulnerabilities without reservation
Just like in legends, the indigenous people of the mother planet in ancient times used bonfires to drive away and deter the night beasts
However, the metallic luster of the fracture always gives the underworld a sense of familiarity
As Huang Quan gazed upon the houses in the valley once more, this time with foresight, he easily discerned which pieces were made of shipbuilding steel and which were walls sealed with wooden planks
It is evident that she has not received proper care, as her skin is slightly rough. However, the vitality of youth, combined with her knowledge and the strength she possesses, imbues every inch of her skin with elasticity, akin to that of a young female leopard
At this thought, Huang Quan felt somewhat excited
The bodies within the Yellow Springs have been transformed more thoroughly and have become even more powerful. Although only a small portion has been reactivated now, the instantaneous explosion of power is already sufficient for him to accomplish many things
The fine lines visible in the field of vision are, in fact, a response of the eyes transformed by the Yellow Springs to the Holy Radiance energy. Each fine line signifies a piece of tissue that has been enhanced and transformed by the Holy Radiance.
The silent movement of the underworld, standing by the window and gazing outward. All I could see was a thin cloud that had just swept across the sky resembling a well's opening, and the fleeting shadow was merely the shadow of that cloud.
The quality of this starship steel plate is indeed exceptional, having withstood the test of time, with only a thin layer of rust, while the main body remains largely intact, in much better condition than the metal plates and products in his cabin
The girl's features may not be described as particularly exquisite, yet they possess a certain majestic and heroic quality. Her straight little nose is indeed well-formed, and by imperial standards, she is considered a top beauty.
Perhaps this can unveil a corner of the mist that has shrouded the past ten thousand years
He let out a sigh of relief and retreated into the shadows. Suddenly, a flash of bright color appeared at the edge of the window. He walked over to take a closer look and discovered a brand new fracture, seemingly carved out by some unknown object.
Moments later, Huang Quan withdrew, standing by the bedside, gazing at the young girl who was fast asleep
