Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 735: Section 730 - The Crown Prince Arrives

Apart from psychic energy, the special environment where all other elemental energies were suppressed suddenly disappeared.

Noticing the subtitles alerted by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam," Chen Fei finally realized what was happening.

He controlled the giantized "Dragon King" mobile armor, transforming its 600mm caliber cannon into a railgun structure, and loaded a 30mm caliber solid steel needle.

The moment the steel needle left the acceleration track while hovering, it entered the rock wall a kilometer away at ten times the speed of sound in the blink of an eye.

The now tattered parasitic biological tissue was largely peeled off and even blown away, revealing spiderweb-like cracks over three meters in diameter on the rock wall's surface, and a round hole at the center, bottomless to sight.

The steel needle disappeared deep into the thick rock strata.

When bad luck had reached its peak, good fortune was finally on the horizon for Chen Fei.

Not only could magic arrays and railgun weapons be used again, but communication with the outside world was also restored simultaneously.

The location coordinates were in a suburban park about 5 kilometers away from the main urban area of Nandu City; if he wasn't mistaken, this cylindrical space should be underground, its depth unknown for now.

These parasitic species were truly adept at hiding.

Even the local snakes, "Hundred-Legs Gang," nearly turned Nandu City upside down and still couldn't find more clues.

No sooner had the "Plane Communication System" returned to normal than a call request came in.

The caller ID showed Hanna Gagar.

The one-eyed female boss, Hanna, rarely called Chen Fei, likely to check on his status and see if he was still alive.

On Cangqiong Star, the rebel army and the Slan Dynasty were duking it out, turning brains into mush, the situation was a mess, and human lives were as cheap as dirt, so any accidents would hardly come as a surprise.

For a small military contractor, never mind just one person; even if they went all out in battle, it could very well be an annihilating defeat in a matter of minutes.

"Hey, Chen Fei, are you still alive?"

As soon as Chen Fei connected, he heard the expected question, a common query since he had arrived on Cangqiong Star.

They didn't ask if he was injured or missing an arm or leg; after all, in this line of work, staying alive was more important than anything else.

"Yeah, alive, but I almost didn't make it!"

Chen Fei had grown accustomed to repeatedly flirting with the edge of life and death.

No wonder since he had been dragged to play Go with King Yama right from the start of his career and had almost not made it back.

"I have a big deal for you; I've sent it to your email. Take a look when you're free. If you're lucky, you might make a good sum."

Hanna Gagar seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then got straight to the point.

"What good news now?"

Chen Fei wasn't surprised by the female boss's dedication to her business.

Military contractors spent money every day on consumption and equipment. Although they earned a lot, operational costs were substantial as well. Without being proactive, substantial bonuses would be out of question—especially for combat personnel who risked their lives on the front lines. Without heavy rewards, there would be no brave warriors.

"About the bounty issued by the Lin Family, the Lord of the Sky. Several sovereignties combined to offer a reward. If you pull this off, you could achieve financial freedom."

Not only was Hanna Gagar excited; in fact, the entire military contractor community was abuzz with the news, with countless individuals scrambling for the bounty.

Since Chen Fei was on Cangqiong Star, that might give him a better chance, a near water pavilion gets the moon first, earning enough to be financially independent for the latter half of his life.

Chen Fei said with little interest, "I'll look at it later!"

Not only due to the personal relationship between his uncle and the Lord of the Sky but he was also well aware that risk often correlated with reward. In the end, he didn't want to earn what he couldn't spend. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Three more sovereignties on Blue Star have declared war on the Slan Dynasty. Once your defensive mission is over, you'd best return immediately. Understand?"

As the tension between the two civilized planets intensified, Hanna Gagar became increasingly worried. This level of conflict was definitely not something Jiu Defense Company could get involved in.

Forget about Jiu Defense; even if the industry's top hundred competitors joined forces, they wouldn't amount to much and could easily be wiped off the map in minutes.

Hanna Gagar was unaware that Chen Fei's primary task for staying on Cangqiong Star wasn't entirely about defending the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City but rather to thwart the invasion plans of the extraterrestrial "Sagali" tribe, seek and destroy parasitic hosts, and search for the Royal Breed that had evolved to the Ninth Rank.

Once a great war started, all sorts of unrestrained events would occur. Attacking the Dimensional Gate Management Substation only happened zero times or countless times, and defending for too long was bound to fail.

"Understood, I'll be back as soon as I can!"

Chen Fei gave a disingenuous response.

He didn't want Boss Hanna to know about the private jobs he was currently undertaking.

After investing precious resources and support in Chen Fei, the big shot Louis Landon certainly wouldn't want him to be seen as a deserter.

Boss Hanna ended the call.

Chen Fei was just about to wake the prisoner he had confined in the "Iron Coffin," when he heard a series of dull thuds. Large chunks of rock fell from the domed ceiling of the cylindrical space, crashing into the mucus pool, which was now reduced to less than half its original depth, stirring up columns of liquid skyward.

Soon, a large hole appeared where the rocks had been falling.

A fierce Sword Qi shot out from the hole without any warning, spraying and sweeping over an area of more than ten meters outside the hole.

Of course, it didn't hit anything.

This was just a deterrent fire reconnaissance; hitting something was a bonus, but not hitting was even better.

Several figures, glowing with dazzling Battle Qi Flames, rushed out immediately after the Sword Qi, first guarding the around the rock hole, then they saw the giantized "Dragon King," armed with a cold weapon and in a defensive stance.

The debris continued to collapse, and the diameter of the cave entrance kept expanding, with more and more people entering this cylindrical space, including even the winged members of the Feathered Tribe.

Then, a huge creature fell down, spreading its gigantic wings, a fierce and majestic head looking around, and by the color of the scales covering its body, it was a Terrestrial Dragon.

The moment the Giant Dragon appeared, sharp rock spikes appeared on the smooth, mirror-like dome, their points aimed at every corner below, ready to strike.

Before determining friend from foe, Chen Fei did not dare to withdraw the giantized "Dragon King" Mobile Armor; instead, he was fully armed, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, indifferent to life or death.

At the same time, more than a dozen War Professionals and Spellcasters targeted him, surrounding the Giant like "Dragon King," and while they showed no sign of striking first, the faint sense of oppression made Chen Fei feel somewhat breathless.

There were just too many of these powerhouses.

His gaze quickly sharpened as he saw a familiar face, and the heart he had been holding in suspense finally began to settle down.

The people surrounding him were probably not enemies, but allies who had come to the rescue.

The giantized "Dragon King" broke down into countless tiny geometric bodies, rapidly reducing in number, the majority retracting into Chen Fei's body, and a smaller portion entering the "Spatial Branding" on the back of his hand.

Unlike all-metal components, which are exchanged and recycled at a standard rate calculated in tons, the exchange rate for components evolved through "material simulation" was one kilogram for one energy point, while the recycling was one ton for one energy point, suffering an immediate 99.9% loss.

So he simply separated them and put them into the storage space for use next time.

"Your Highness, how come you are here?"

Chen Fei approached the familiar person. If it weren't for the "Plane Communication System" resuming its connection and still pinpointing his location in the suburbs of Nandu City on Zilu Continent, he would have almost thought he was back on Morning Star Continent.

The Ability Users surrounding Chen Fei were about to intercept him, but suddenly they gave way, allowing Chen Fei and the other person to come close to each other.

"Hehehe, long time no see, Chen Fei, this is your belonging!"

Lin Zio Slan greeted him with a smile and then personally handed over an item.

Chen Fei looked closely and saw it was his lost Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact.

At last, he found it!

It was a stroke of luck amid misfortune.

He breathed a silent sigh of relief, feeling as though a heavy stone in his heart had finally settled.

If he had truly lost that object, Chen Xiao'er would likely have to sell himself to the Slan Dynasty, and even giving his life wouldn't be enough to repay the debt, considering such a large-capacity Spatial Alchemy Artifact would command a sky-high price anywhere.

However, Chen Fei quickly realized something—the fact that the other party was able to find him probably meant that the Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact had been tampered with in an unknown way.

As if guessing Chen Fei's thoughts, Lin Zio Slan maintained his offering gesture and continued, "I'll not hide it from you, this Spatial Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact has been set with special Curse Magic. Once it's separated from you for an extended period, it will automatically release a location-tracking curse."

The Slan Dynasty indeed would not let such an alchemical storage artifact be lost; regardless of the schemes to take it, they would all end in vain.

"Your Highness, why would you risk yourself like this?"

Chen Fei did not reach out to take it. The heavy gift of the "Spatial Branding" from Louis Landon had greatly reduced his reliance on physical storage magical artifacts, and having this Spatial Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact was no longer significant to him.

As a child of great wealth, one does not sit beneath a dangerous wall. Seeing Lin Zio here, Chen Fei felt no joy at all.

If the Restoration Army (Rebel Army) of the Tessa Empire knew that the Crown Prince of the Slan Dynasty had come to the Zilu Continent, they would likely capture him at all costs, thereby gaining the greatest bargaining chip for negotiations with the Slan Dynasty.

If the Crown Prince fell into the enemy's hands, in the game of power on Zilu Continent, the Slan Dynasty would inevitably be at a disadvantage and be forced into a passive position, and the sovereigns of Blue Star would probably enjoy watching the spectacle unfold.

Even Minante, from its own standpoint, would likely cut ties with Chen Fei without hesitation and turn hostile on the spot.

"Only heaven and earth, you and I know, how can one lead the troops to victory if they do not visit the front lines!"

Lin Zio Slan seemed not at all concerned about the danger of coming to a Zilu Continent experiencing rebellion.

With so many powerhouses brought with him, falling into enemy hands would not be an easy task.

"I have heard of you, Chen Fei from the Chen Family Gate."

A voice came from the side.

Chen Fei turned towards the sound and saw a young man in Single Soldier Tactical Armor sizing him up.

"Right, let me introduce you. This is Lin Zikong, Aunt Qi Fei's son, one of my brothers."
