Chapter 1880: Lost Kingdom
"BOOM!"
The Warp Bubble formed, and Jiangnan rushed out with the others at a speed surpassing everything!
Without any hesitation!
A Dawei Tianlong that could destroy a Zeus-level Warp Patrol Starship? Jiangnan didn't think he had any means to threaten it, dammit!
Use a sack to bag it? Can it even fit?
In the blink of an eye, Jiangnan was gone, leaving only Crab Boss standing there dumbfounded!
(٥ﾟOﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey, don't leave! I, Crab, haven't gotten on board yet!"
He turned back to look at the dragon claw of Dawei Tianlong coming down, and immediately lay flat on his back!
∠ (°_°) 」∠)_
Well, just lie down and wait to die!
Anyway, resisting would lead to the same result!
It wasn't that Jiangnan didn't want to take him, but the Warp Bubble really couldn't fit such a big Crab Boss!
Run first, if you lose your life, you lose everything!
Dawei Tianlong watched the wildly fleeing Warp Bubble, a hint of surprise in its eyes, but grew even more excited!
But its hands kept moving without pause!
"Hmph! Run? Do you think you can escape?"
At this moment, Jiangnan was horrified to discover that no matter how he pushed the Warp Bubble to its limit, stuffing his mouth full of durian pulp,
and charging at superluminal speed,
he still couldn't break out of the dragon claw's range, and was even getting farther from the gaps between the massive claw toes!
It even gave Jiangnan the feeling that he was moving backward!
What kind of skill is this, dammit!
A Five-Finger Mountain?
Ai-chan said urgently: ᥬ(˃᷄~˂᷅)᭄ "Master! Why aren't you running? Did you put it in the wrong gear? Did you put it in reverse? I feel like you're going backward!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. "God dammit, I didn't put it in the wrong gear!"
Can you even shift gears in a Warp Bubble?
ﾚ(ﾟ益ﾟ;)ﾍ "I am already running! It's not me going backward—space is flowing toward the center of the dragon claw at a speed exceeding light, compressing!"
"The current curvature of my Warp Bubble simply can't outpace the flow of space, creating the illusion that I'm retreating!"
"It's like an indoor surfing facility—the backward flow of space is too fast."
"Even if Jiangnan sprints at full power, he can't escape Dawei Tianlong's palm!"
"Because under this skill, even light cannot escape!"
In the blink of an eye, a spatial sphere appeared in Dawei Tianlong's dragon claw!
And this spatial sphere was compressed from an unknown amount of space!
Maybe millions of cubic meters? Tens of millions?
Who the hell knows!
But Jiangnan and the others inside were also compressed proportionally with the space, so to Jiangnan, this spatial sphere was still millions of cubic meters!
Thus forming a Palm Realm held in Dawei Tianlong's hand!
Jiangnan even suspected that this Dawei Tianlong had the power to compress a planet and hold it in its claw!
But Jiangnan still managed to rush to the edge of the Palm Realm using the Warp Bubble!
Because the space was highly compressed, the dragon's claws were as huge as pillars supporting heaven and earth.
"BOOM!"
The Warp Bubble slammed hard into the edge of the Palm Realm, but couldn't break through at all!
It was directly trapped inside!
Jiangnan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat:
╮(•́ω•̀٥)╭ "It's over, we're Barbecued! We were caught in one move!"
So embarrassing!
Jiangnan somewhat understood how his senior brother felt back then.
Such a perverted space technique even exceeded Jiangnan's comprehension.
Dawei Tianlong squinted and said, "Don't try to resist! I can crush this Palm Realm anytime!"
"If you don't want to die, just stay put obediently!"
As it spoke, its dragon claw tightened, and the entire highly compressed Palm Realm seemed on the verge of annihilation and collapse.
Jiangnan immediately put on a look of an obedient child:
(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷ωᵒ̴̶̷) "You're the dragon in charge, you call the shots!"
Dawei Tianlong then showed a satisfied expression, opened its huge mouth, and held the Palm Realm in its mouth like a dragon pearl!
As if holding a dragon pearl.
Looking up, they could see the roof of Dawei Tianlong's mouth and a row of sharp dragon teeth.
Mo Mo's pretty face turned pale:
(*ง❢~꒦ີ)ง "Ababa?"
Jiangnan looked helpless, then grinned:
(´-.̫-`；) "Don't worry, we should—maybe—possibly—probably—not die, right?"
"But you must never look at Hart's photos or marriage certificate, or say things like going back to have a few babies—that would mean certain death!"
Mo Mo shook her head like a rattle-drum, indicating she wouldn't recklessly set up death flags.
Jiangnan rested his chin on his hand:
(͡°O͡°) "Hmm, there are quite a few dimension creatures trapped in this Palm Realm with us, huh?"
"Since we're stuck here with nothing to do, how about we..."
As he spoke, the smile on Jiangnan's face gradually twisted.
(΄◞ิ⥎◟ิ‵)
Xing Cheng nodded repeatedly in agreement!
(๑O₃O)ھ "Crush them! Extra meal!"
The Warp Bubble immediately shot out, preparing to clear the mobs in the Palm Realm.
Mo Mo almost spat out old blood!
Hey, hey, hey, Nan Shen, do you even understand the current situation?
We're captives, held in Dawei Tianlong's mouth, and you still have the mood to clear mobs?
What kind of huge heart is this?
Little did she know, one was thinking about dimension beads, the other about eating—what else could they do?
Can't run away anyway.
At this moment, Dawei Tianlong was overjoyed, even swaying as it walked.
Its other underlings also spoke up.
"Hahaha! Brother Dragon! This is a huge score! Much more valuable than that broken ship wreckage!"
"Exactly! These are living humans! Three of them, and even a human organ attached? Jackpot! Huh? And there's a silicon-based one too?"
"A gift delivered to our doorstep—first time seeing this. Daring to venture deep into the dimensional gap, isn't this just delivering themselves as a meal?"
"Went to the Extreme Dark Star Dome and fought all the way, yet the haul is less than what we picked up on the road? Brother Dragon got a huge boost! Offering these to Lord Black God, won't Brother Dragon be set for life?"
Dawei Tianlong laughed heartily!
(๑͡°ᗜ͡°) "Don't worry! When I rise, I won't forget you guys. As long as I have a piece of meat to eat, you'll have a plate to lick!"
"Work hard! Next year, I'll try to marry two more sisters-in-law for you all!"
The underlings' eyes were full of excitement, and they responded in unison:
∠(｀ω´*) "Yes! Big Brother!"
Dawei Tianlong's eyes were full of anticipation. It had thought it would only bring back starship wreckage as a trophy and get scolded.
Who knew this wave would bring such incredible luck!
Three humans plus a hemorrhoid—wonder if Lord Black God would give him a chance to rise further?
Its swimming speed increased, eager to return to the Lost Kingdom to pay homage to Black God.
……
At this moment, Jiangnan, having cleared a wave of mobs, was fully loaded with gains!
Hmph, there wasn't a single worthy opponent in the Palm Realm—of course, apart from not being able to beat the big dragon outside...
In one Warp Bubble, he returned to Crab Boss's side, only to see the guy lying spread-eagled in the void, tears streaming down his face.
Cheng Bao: (๑O₃O)ھ "He seems dead, can we eat him?"
Crab Boss looked utterly hopeless:
∠(꒪ͦ།ᴗ̵̍།꒪ͦ」∠)_ "Eat, eat. In the life of a crab, who hasn't faced death? Whether early or late, it's all death..."
Xing Cheng: (*⁰̷̴͈O⁰̷̴͈)
"Munch~"
"Ah! You're actually eating? Stop! Stop right now! I take it back, I'd rather die later!"
Crab Boss frantically shook his crab claws, but couldn't shake off Xing Cheng clinging to them.
"By the way, why did you run away and then come back?"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: (ಠĹ̯ಠ˵) "I, Jiangnan, value loyalty highly. How could I abandon comrades who have shared hardships with me?"
"You think I would watch you die with my eyes open? Not at all! I'll close my eyes—it's too brutal!"
"Um... if you die, can I have your dimension bead?"
Crab Boss was full of grief and indignation. "You're still thinking about that, you damn cat?"
(◞‸◟) "Sigh—we're doomed. What use would my dimension bead be to you? Dawei Tianlong is going to offer you to Black God, no way out."
Even Ai-chan and Xing Cheng started to worry.
Captured right at the start? Offered as tribute to Black God? Isn't this dungeon a bit too hard?
Jiangnan's forehead beaded with sweat:
(⌐~⌐٥) "What can I do? Can't run away!"
"Good thing I prepared a tiny little toll fee, hope He likes it..."
"Think positively—since we were planning to trade with Black God anyway, this saves us the trouble of looking for him. Direct audience, how convenient is that?"
Mo Mo covered her face. "It is convenient, yeah... as captives."
Jiangnan tightened the vendor cloth around him. "Damn it, I can't fight, so life or death depends on my silver tongue!"
Now Jiangnan was increasingly glad he hadn't brought Xuexue and the others along, or they'd all be wiped out together.
Finally, after a long journey through the dimensional wind tunnels, the Dragon-Scourge Legion arrived at the center of the dimensional gap.
The Lost Kingdom!
From far, far away, Jiangnan and his group noticed the dimensional kingdom.
It was a dark continent floating in endless blackness.
Its enormity was unimaginable, boundless. Dawei Tianlong's size already exceeded Jiangnan's imagination, yet compared to this Lost Kingdom, it was still a drop in the ocean.
But compared to this Lost Kingdom, it was still a drop in the ocean.
The continent was filled with desolation, and Jiangnan even saw many planet fragments scattered around.
Rusted massive starships were buried, and a primal, ancient aura filled everyone's senses.
Jiangnan's eyes widened. This was truly an eye-opener!
So this was the Lost Kingdom, the center of the dimensional gap?
The dimensional wind tunnels blew around the Lost Kingdom, interweaving in layers like a bird's nest, like stars clustering around the moon.
Countless dimension creatures lived in the kingdom, all sorts of bizarre shapes.
Each one was terrifyingly huge, and Jiangnan even saw two terrifying beings no smaller than Dawei Tianlong.
They came and went using the dimensional wind tunnels, busy yet orderly.
It wasn't the utopia Jiangnan had imagined, with sunshine, green grass, and lush mountains and rivers.
Instead, it had a dark, dilapidated atmosphere, yet strangely vibrant with life.
No wonder it's called the Lost Kingdom—quite fitting.
"BOOM!"
With a loud crash, Dawei Tianlong's massive body landed heavily on the Lost Kingdom, holding the Palm Realm in its mouth, and swaggered toward the depths of the Lost Kingdom.
Mo Mo beside him was trembling like a small rubber band.
(❢~⁰。) "We've really fallen into a den of thieves now!"
