“Come on out, my little treasure!”
With Yang Zhen’s strange cry, an iron lump about forty to fifty feet in size appeared in front of everyone, stretched out like a long worm!
Those who heard Yang Zhen’s cry all jumped in fright, turning their heads to
look at him.
When the crowd saw that all Yang Zhen had done was to produce a ‘lowly worm1, laughter broke out.
“Am I seeing things, or…is this a metal worm?”
“Such a tiny thing actually has the audacity to enter the Sea Dragon Pool. Yang Zhen keeps outdoing himself with oddities, always managing to evoke hilarious laughter.”
“I was wrong. Originally, I thought Yang Zhen would once again create a miracle, or at the very least, make things interesting. But after much fuss, he only managed to summon such an ugly appearance. Compared to the mighty ones like Wei Zhen Tian and Sea Breaker Shuttle, it’s not even on par with a tiny wheel of theirs.”
The spectators were buzzing with comments, and they were not wrong. The thing that Yang Zhen summoned was so insignificant compared to the terrifying and massive creations like the Sea Breaker Shuttle and Wei Zhen Tian.
Yang Zhen’s cry was loud, but the thing that appeared was even smaller than a
Sky Dragon Beast, causing everyone to laugh uproariously.
Even Wang Meiling turned pale, her gaze fixed on Yang Zhen questioning if the
Astrology Master’s predictions were wrong.
Could such a tiny contraption make it through the Sea Dragon Pool?
Not to mention the countless monsters in the Sea Dragon Pool. These creatures were not like ordinary beings. Ordinary creatures entering the Sea Dragon Pool would be paralyzed and unable to exert any force, but these monsters were exceptionally powerful, swiftly moving atop piles of bones, and their destructive power was alarming.
Then, there were the mighty Wei Zhen Tian and other shuttles. How could they let Yang Zhen leisurely steer this worm-like contraption through the Sea Dragon Pool and onto Emperor Island?
Wang Meiling was on the verge of speaking, anxiety written all over her face.
Any alternate plans were out of the question now.
There simply wasn’t enough time.
Yang Zhen’s sidekick, Scoundrel Cat looked just as dumbfounded. After a while
it jumped three feet in the air, glaring at Yang Zhen.
“Kid, you tinkered for two days just to come up with this tiny worm. Are you here to reach the island or are you here to die?”
Having heard Scoundrel Cat’s words, Yang Zhen didn’t get angry. He blinked and said, “What do you think?”
“To hell with guessing! Whoever wants to board it can board it. Don’t even think about making me step foot in it.” Scoundrel Cat twisted its mouth and, with an expression that said ‘I don’t trust you at all,’ cautiously watched Yang Zhen, scared it might be grabbed and shoved into the worm-like contraption.
Yang Zhen looked at Scoundrel Cat with disdain and said, “So you’re not going, right? Then I’ll go by myself. Don’t bloody ask me for tasty food in the future.
After reaching the island, I plan to have a camping barbecue party. It seems like no one is going to enjoy it with this Sao Saint.”
Scoundrel Cat, conflicted and suspicious, stared at Yang Zhen and hesitantly asked, “What is a camping barbecue party?”
“Naturally, it’s the world’s finest delicacy and the ultimate indulgence!” Yang Zhen said as he walked towards the large centipede of the Dirty Detachment Gang. He turned his head to look at Wang Meiling and asked, “Are you coming?”
Wang Meiling hesitated as she looked at Yang Zhen, indecisiveness written all over her face.
Scoundrel Cat suddenly cursed and said, “Damn it, I’ll take the chance. If you deceive us, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost… A camping barbecue party, is it really the world’s greatest delicacy?”
“Does it look like I’m joking? Hurry up. The old driver is about to start. It won’t wait!”
“Damn, wait for me!” Scoundrel Cat quickly followed Yang Zhen.
Wang Meiling’s expression kept changing, and finally, she turned pale, gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and followed, “You sneaky boy, the shuttle can’t be this simple, there’s no way to deceive me!
Yang Zhen never did things he wasn’t sure about. After he had defeated Lu Baichi with one strike, he dared to appear before the strong Divine Travel Stage practitioners of Mount Hua, and he had managed to survive till now, which showed that he was crafty and not as unreliable as he seemed.
After entering the ‘Big Centipede’, both Wang Meiling and Scoundrel Cat’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Unlike the fierce and simple exterior that looked almost shabby, the interior was simply luxurious to the extreme. There was even a table laden with all kinds of food and many heavenly treasures. Scoundrel Cat was almost drooling.
Wang Meiling, however, was more interested in the surroundings than the food. Unknown to the outside, the interior was an entirely different world. Above the row of controls, there was a large transparent crystal-like screen that clearly displayed the outside scenery, but from the exterior, nothing could be seen inside.
The Dirty Detachment Gang’s Giant Centipede consisted of three segments. The first segment was where the two humans and a cat were located, and in the segment behind, there was a massive round Star Iron, of which its purpose was unknown.
The iron walls around them were adorned with countless array formations, even containing a few magic inscriptions.
Wang Meiling took a brief glance and estimated that there were at least a hundred.
This… didn’t seem as unreliable as it looked on the surface, and it seemed Yang Zhen wouldn’t risk his life for a joke.
What puzzled Wang Meiling was that Yang Zhen kept calling the contraption a ■Centipede’, yet it didn’t appear to have even a single leg, looking more like a giant worm instead.
As Wang Meiling was carefully observing their surroundings, Cheeky Cat’s eyes were already sparkling with excitement.
“Damn, kiddo, this is awesome! Tell me quickly, how do we operate this thing? Hurry, let’s catch up!”
Yang Zhen replied with a chuckle, “No rush, the show has just begun. Just because he’s reached the Divine Travel Stage, he thinks he can threaten me. Let’s show him the power of the Giant Centipede.
Cheeky Cat, excitedly looking weirder and weirder, stared at Yang Zhen and asked, “Kid, are you sure this is a centipede, not a worm?”
Yang Zhen struggled to chuckle, beckoned, and said, “Come over here and pull this lever, will you?”
Cheeky Cat, with doubts and fear in his eyes, walked over and clawed at the lever mentioned by Yang Zhen.
Creak!
A dull sound followed by the clanging of metal resonated.
The Giant Centipede suddenly burst into a golden light, with numerous robust long legs materializing around its body.
Only then, did the Giant Centipede, as Yang Zhen referred to it, started to live up to its name.
Cheeky Cat leaped around excitedly, shouting and yelping, “This is so cool! It can transform, but kiddo, will these legs of the Giant Centipede work?
Yang Zhen burst into laughter, pulled hard on a lever, and the entire Giant Centipede began to vibrate heavily, shooting swiftly towards the Sea Dragon Pool.
■■Oh, it’s moving! It’s moving!” Cheeky Cat, unable to contain his excitement, was darting around. Through the crystal glass window on the side, he could see the twenty-some legs of the Centipede spinning.
The Centipede moved at a fast speed and, surprisingly, didn’t jerk much. Yang Zhen had initially planned to design climbing legs, but the process was too complex, so he replaced it with rudimentary spinning ones. Each of the Centipede’s legs was spinning, quickly paddling backward. It didn’t take long for the Giant Centipede to enter the Sea Dragon Pool, and with a loud splash, it sank downwards.
Wang Meiling was completely stunned and taken aback.
It wasn’t until the Giant Centipede sank to the bottom of the pool, resting on a pile of dead bones, that Wang Meiling gasped, pointing excitedly at a shuttle boat not far ahead, “Watch out! That’s the Black Crystal Evil Woman from the Treacherous Blade Sect!”
Yang Zhen turned to look at Wang Meiling and asked, “Enemy?”
Wang Meiling nodded, her face revealing her tension, worried that they might be discovered.
Seeing Wang Meiling’s worried expression, Yang Zhen laughed and said, “Don’t be afraid, girl, just charge and attack!”
“Attack?” Cheeky Cat was taken aback, “How do we attack when they’re two or three times our size? You better not mess around, kiddo. We can’t use the True Essence Cannon here. We can only ram them. If we’re found out, we’re in trouble.”
Yang Zhen sneered, violently pulling a lever on his left, and said, “How about this?”
Boom!
A dull sound echoed as two strange things appeared on both sides of the Giant Centipede, looking like large windmills. Under the power of crystal stones, they spun rapidly.
“Damn! Nine-fold Divine Iron, kid, you’re too extravagant… wait a minute, is this a weapon?”
Yang Zhen nodded, a wicked grin on his face, “It’s the Nine-fold Divine Iron Saw. Fancy a big fight?”
Cheeky Cat got excited again, crying out and pointing at the shuttle boat a dozen or so feet away, “What are we waiting for then? Go on, ram her from behind!”
