The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 934 Inspection

"Hydra?" Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, a strange look on his face.

Danfei calmly explained, "That's its name in the West. It can also be called 'Hydra' or 'Xiangliu'... It and 'Dagon's' closest relatives are both of the 'Dragon King's' closest relatives, possessing the power of the 'Ascension' level."

"Yes, what entered the island chain defense line was definitely not its main body, but probably just a clone created by one of its 'heads'."

Are Hydra and Dagon favored by the "Dragon King"? Could this "Dragon King" be called Cthulhu?!

I now have reason to believe that the "Dragon King" was most likely the work of the "Star God"... or rather, its creation is very likely related to the "Star God"!
Zhao Chen felt like he had a bellyful of complaints but didn't know how to express them. If he hadn't been so composed, he probably would have ended up with a bunch of memes.

He took a deep breath, pointed to the little girl who was some distance away from the "Myriad Immortal Clouds," and asked with some confusion, "Logically speaking, after being 'contaminated' by such an existence, a cultivator at the 'Gang Sha' realm should have lost control and mutated long ago. Why is she only unconscious and doesn't seem to be greatly affected?"

Didn't you see that my "own person," who was indirectly exposed to the pollution, has grown fish scales, coral, and all sorts of disgusting tissues and organs? This is completely illogical...

Danfei did not answer immediately, but extended her divine sense to sense for a while, and after a long while, she nodded slightly and said, "I see... This girl is the 'opportunity' for me to further improve my strength."

In other words, she was deliberately "arranged" to be here! Zhao Chen immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words and asked with interest, "How so?"

“It’s not just the ‘Dragon King’ who craves the ‘Azure Dragon of the East’; its ‘Dao’ is equally precious to me… and the ‘contamination’ on this girl contains something I lack.” Danfei replied thoughtfully.

Just right? Hey, there aren't that many "just right" things! It seems that the "Dragon King" is indeed not in a good state. First, the temple keeper of the "Dragon King Temple," Qingyuan, broke free from control and regained his human side. Now, even his close relatives can be "arranged".

As one thought after another raced through his mind, Zhao Chen glanced at the little girl a few more times and said thoughtfully, "She can serve as a container for 'pollution,' so she must have something special about her."

“Of course!” Danfei nodded. “If I’m not mistaken, she is the successor of a certain True Lord across generations… No, that’s not accurate. She has inherited the ‘fate’ of a certain True Lord and is very likely to become the beacon or vessel for his ‘return’.”

This description... is very similar to Qingling's situation... Hmm, the current emperor seems to be in the same situation, and he has also chosen to completely merge with the "Enlightened Beast".

Since this little girl was able to resist the "contamination," she must have received support from the source of the inheritance... Perhaps, after she wakes up, she will no longer be the pure person she once was.

Tsk tsk, using the power of "Hydra" to stimulate her "awakening" while also giving Danfi an "opportunity" as "compensation"... killing two birds with one stone!

After a moment of reflection, Zhao Chen pointed at the girl again and asked, "So how do we take her away now?"

He and Danfei both had ways to resist the "pollution," but they couldn't just bring her into Yingzhou Island like that.

Even using a spatial artifact wouldn't work; even his "Wind and Cloud Ring" couldn't withstand such a high level of contamination. Once that girl was taken inside, it wouldn't be long before barnacles and seaweed sprouted in the ring's space...

The secret realm of "The Chess of Yaochi" is indeed of a high enough level, but "Yao Ji" may not be willing... well, mainly because I am not too keen on it.

Just as Zhao Chen was in a dilemma, Danfei took out a "crystal coffin" and handed it to him, saying, "Put her in here and there will be no problem." Zhao Chen felt that the style of the coffin looked familiar, so he examined it carefully and quickly realized where the familiarity came from:

It is very similar to the coffin that carried the fake "Demon Cloud" body in the Xuancheng incident!

Do powerful beings all like to have their coffins custom-made like this? Or is this kind of coffin a popular style from the chaotic times eight thousand years ago? After making a few mental comments, Zhao Chen used his magic to open the coffin lid and then took the little girl inside.

At the same time, he also brought back his "own people," who were on the verge of completely transforming into monsters, to the "Starship."

After closing the lid, the pollution indeed disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, Zhao Chen casually asked, "What kind of magical artifact is this? Its ability to isolate pollution is so strong?"

"This is just a replica of the coffins used to bury the bodies of the four ancient goddesses..." Danfei replied and then stopped talking. Instead, she forcibly cast a spell to store the crystal coffin into her inner world.

Ultimately, her essence is also that of a "Profound Ascension" True Lord, whose inner world has long been a self-contained realm.

But even with just this little bit of power, the Empress's face visibly lost its color, and her breathing became much heavier.

A replica of the coffins used by the four ancient goddesses to bury themselves... It's normal that Danfi, who seems to have entered the divine realm of the "Spring God," would have seen those coffins...

But which ancient goddess did Demon Cloud True Lord or Chai Xun see?

As Zhao Chen's thoughts drifted further and further away, his divine sense was suddenly triggered again. Immediately afterwards, a "ship" slightly smaller than the "Seeking Immortals" appeared a hundred miles away and was heading towards the location of "Myriad Immortal Clouds" at an extremely fast speed.

It was a military Osprey-class amphibious patrol vessel, and it was most likely there to track down the little girl.

Sensing that he was being locked onto by another powerful divine sense, Zhao Chen did not intend to escape on a cloud, but instead remained in the air waiting for the military's inspection.

After all, the "source of pollution" has already entered Danfei's inner world, so there's no need to worry about the other party being able to detect anything.

The jet-black ship with iron wings on both sides stopped on the sea below the "Myriad Immortal Clouds". Then, a streak of light suddenly flew out from the deck and arrived in front of Zhao Chen and Dan Fei in an instant.

Only then did Zhao Chen see the person's face clearly. She was a woman with black hair and blue eyes. She wore black armor over a white battle suit, held a fire-tipped spear, and rode on a wind-fire wheel. She was a majestic and heroic female general.

"Judging from the supernatural powers he used, he must be a supernatural power cultivator from the Su family, a prominent family in Jizhou..." Danfei whispered.

The Su family is a prominent family that rose to prominence during a chaotic era eight thousand years ago. Danfei had fought against the Su family's ancestor before, so she recognized him.

Moreover, she had previously captured Su Hanshui, a member of a collateral branch of the Su family, for a period of time in order to gather information about the far north.
