Chapter 818: Chapter 716: Old, Refused (Extended Chapter) (Part 2)
"Good morning, Lord."
Old Man Kevin’s appearance had actually grown much younger, resembling a middle-aged man, yet he retained his silver hair and a long, floor-length beard.
"We’re about to dissect the giant snake. The research department couldn’t accommodate it, so it’s being kept at the army base."
The snake’s scales, muscles, hardness, and toughness were exceptionally high.
Ordinary First Tier Divine Weapon couldn’t cut through.
The snake’s body, though suppressed, still possessed immense vitality.
At this moment, three members of the Transcendent Tier Guardian Army, wielding Second Tier Divine Weapon combat sabers, activated their source power. Sword light extended four or fifty meters, and they slashed down with a forty-meter-long saber at just the right angle.
Bang~!
It was like a toothpick piercing the skin, only chipping off some scales and chunks of flesh each time.
It was Luo Zhe who personally stepped in, slicing out a massive crevice with a single sword, nearly folding the already severed snake body into two.
"Put the scales in Area One, muscle tissues in Area Two..."
Old Man Kevin shouted robustly.
The Awakeners carrying supplies ran their legs to exhaustion.
"Lord, we found something inside the snake’s belly."
A Transcendent Tier foreman lifted up a blood-red crystal, about three meters high.
Through the crystal’s surface, a faintly visible and motionless silhouette could be seen inside.
"Seems like, the people from Hero Club who were swallowed into the snake’s belly, they still have a pulse."
The Transcendent foreman said uncertainly.
The workers entered the snake’s belly and carried out more and more blood-red crystals.
Smaller ones were two or three meters high, over a meter wide, irregularly shaped.
Larger ones were over ten meters high, enveloped within was a Butcher Series Mecha — a large model among mechas, nearly ten meters in height. Small ones like the Red Lotus Mecha and Honey Bee Mecha were less than three meters high — after all, Lord Tang possessed the mecha blueprints.
"Lord, how should we deal with these people?"
The Transcendent foreman was indecisive; if they were dead, it’d be simpler, perhaps sending their belongings back to Hero Club — or even not sending them back.
Tang Yu tapped his chin with his finger, eyes slightly downcast.
Those swallowed into the snake’s belly and still alive were highly likely part of Dr. Zheng’s experiment, needing live samples.
Even specially modifying the Red Giant Snake to have ’devouring’, ’sealing’ type abilities.
Truly monstrous!
"Melt the crystals and rescue them."
In others’ views, the major Holy Lands competed, some were even enemies.
Conflicts between forces never ceased.
But the Defense Circle held a transcendent status, no one dared provoke.
Yet in Tang Yu’s eyes, they were all the same, like chives, differing only in being farmed or wild, planted in others’ chive fields.
He could harvest them just the same.
The blood-red crystals were incredibly hard, upon his suggestion, Guardian Army members moved over a colossal pot — the largest type, akin to a football field — like those used by Tao Sect for boiling rookies.
All blood-red crystals were placed in the pot, adding liquid capable of dissolving source-powered defenses, slowly simmering, with exceptional safety.
After a dozen minutes, some crystals began to dissolve; when they dissolved down to only a thin membrane, bang, one burst open, and a Hero Club Transcendent instinctively jumped out from the boiling pot’s bottom, landing on the surrounding field, erupting source power in full vigilance.
But quickly,
he looked at the surrounding crowd of Awakeners, gazing at him as if observing a rare creature.
His expression gradually grew confused.
"Am I... Oh, I thought I died, is this Hell? So Hell is this lively?"
He seemed delighted to see fellow race members in Hell.
Tang Yu contemplated if he should toss this fellow into ’Pale Hell’, letting him experience the Hell tour package.
An increasing number of blood-red crystals shattered, Hero Club Transcendent freed from the inside, along with those Mech Warriors, their minds stuck at the moment they were swallowed into the snake’s belly.
"Oh my God... Turns out we’re not dead! Where’s the snake? The giant snake?"
The Red Giant Snake had already been gutted, dismembered, piled into mounds.
After quite some time, these Hero Club members finally realized they’d been rescued.
Could this be the legendary Floating City Green Shadow?
A Transcendent Tier foreman explained the situation to them, Tang Yu appropriately showed his face, "You all are heroes in the battle against the Devil Race, your family and friends must be worried, if eager, you can freely use our Transmission Array, of course, if you wish to stay temporarily in Green Shadow City for sightseeing, you’re also most welcome."
He paused, "Being swallowed into the snake’s belly, you’re still relatively weak. Anyone in need can head to our Green Shadow First Hospital, where there are specialized recovery packages, though medical supplies are quite costly, I can’t just provide them entirely free, even as a Lord. I can only give you the cost price, seven discounts..."
There were always rumors about the mysterious Green Shadow Lord, extremely mighty, capable of tearing super-sized Demonized Beasts apart with bare hands. Now upon meeting, they understood the rumors were false.
The Green Shadow Lord was handsome yet not without masculinity, with sharp features and a high nose bridge, most importantly, he had a broad heart!
The Transmission Array could be used freely, Green Shadow Hospital also offered them a seventy percent discount!
Hero Club’s high-level figures were well acquainted with Green Shadow, even each of them could speak Chinese; costs for the Transmission Array, Green Shadow’s medical techniques, they were crystal clear!
Heard Green Shadow First Hospital also required taking a number and queueing; it wasn’t just about having money for treatment.
They gained greatly!
The Green Shadow Lord was indeed a leader of the Human Race!
Far superior to their own Thunder God Chairman who would work daily with bare arms, more like a muscle-bound dude than a leader!
Tang Yu saw their expressions and realized his show of face was undeniably correct.
If only he could see affinity levels, surely many Hero Club members would have "+1+1+1" symbols popping over their heads.
He glanced again at the points representing individuals, some originally between yellow and green were now entirely green.
It felt somewhat subtle?
The Witch Helen suddenly approached, smiling sweetly.
Standing before him, she bowed slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for lending a hand, this young lady has an unmerited request..."
Before Tang Yu could speak, she continued:
"In the past, I had no choice. Now, I wish to become a Green Shadow person."
Tang Yu: "???"
He widened his eyes to look at her,
The Witch’s aura was weak, yet she appeared unembarrassed; a high hat sat atop her curly silver mane, cascading down her shoulders. Her black robe with a wide open collar vaguely displayed a sort of Holy Light.
Especially during her gentle bowing pause, leaving her neckline down, like a spacious portal, extremely inviting.
However...
Tang Yu glanced sideways at Nancy, resembling a bristling cat.
And then at the point representing the Witch.
It was completely green! Indicating the Witch sincerely wanted to be a Green Shadow person!
He fell into contemplation.
The Witch widened her eyes waiting for his response, subtly moving closer, appearing youthful like a girl in her teens.
...Hmm?
Tang Yu felt he might have overlooked something.
The Witch’s information flashed through his mind.
"Witch" Helen: Gender... female, undoubtedly; Age... Ninety, ninety-one??!
Even before the apocalypse, she was a somewhat powerful Superpower User.
Tang Yu raised his hand, blocking ahead of him, stating firmly, "Miss Helen, you are a core head of Hero Club, Hero Club still relies on you. Please forgive my refusal."
The Witch appeared disappointed, quite pitiful.
Nonetheless, Lord Tang was a righteous Lord, for the sake of Green Shadow and Hero Club’s friendship, he felt no regrets!
Ha, old woman!
Nancy followed step by step as the Lord departed from the army base.
Among those swallowed by the snake in Hero Club, some were indifferent to Green Shadow City, leaving immediately through the Transmission Array, while others led by the Witch treated it entirely as a vacation.
Firstly choosing the most expensive recovery treatment package at Green Shadow First Hospital, then ordered a large amount of Transcendent Tier Mutant Beast cuisine — since being injured necessitated replenishment, this injury defending the homeland could be reimbursed from Thunder God Chairman later.
