Chapter 438 - Jump! (1/2)

Fight that steel monster? Even a burly earthling will be overshadowed in size by the gigantic stars.h.i.+p, let alone a slender woman like Lin Luoran.

Nevertheless, she braves the wind and rain and approaches the stars.h.i.+p by the flying sword. The fluorescent figure scares the alliance soldiers who are standing in front of the virtual screen in the central control room of the stars.h.i.+p!

The troposphere is, among the layers of earth’s atmosphere, closest to the ground. In such a layer, the temperature decreases with increasing height. Wind direction and speed also frequently change in it, causing vigorous air convection. Seen in this light, the weather is nice tonight—it’s windy with light rain, which is rarely seen on the Kalahari Desert. Nevertheless, the visibility is extremely low, which makes a perfect excuse for the stars.h.i.+p’s missed attack.

Of course, such failure should be attributed to the fact that the female earth cultivator evades attacks in quite a flexible manner. It’s like she knows in advance where the attacks will be targeted. Is it this cultivators’ prowess?

Cultivators can even become immortal through certain kind of self-cultivation! Such an enviable capability is unavailable to the intelligent lives of the Alpha Alliance who are mostly short-lived, so they want to destroy the earthlings with such power.

The longest-lived species of the Alliance can live no more than the equivalent of 800 years on the earth. In contrast, earth cultivators are said to have a lifespan of a thousand years once they get through the Gathering Vitality period.

For instance, the female cultivator in front of them, was a 500-year-old Bearing Essence cultivator three hundred years ago, according to the information obtained by the Alliance.

Colin Weir turns on the virtual optical screen in the room.

The picture flickers for a while before he sees the figure of Lin Luoran proceeding by the sword in the stormy night. If Lin Luoran didn’t belong to a different camp from his, Colin would even applaud her performance.

He has come to understand why some members of the Alliance still unabashedly support the cause of cultivation, though the Alpha Alliance is suppressing earth cultivators.

This may result from the desire of intelligent lives for greater individual power, even if they are powerful enough to oppress cultivators with advanced technology.

Colin Weir lowers his head in contemplation, but suddenly hears Ma Shuangshuang screaming in a low voice in the room.

“What—”

He looks up and finds that the other three’s eyes are fixed on the screen. Lightning happens to illuminate the windy and rainy night. In the three-dimensional picture that encompa.s.ses everything, there’s only airs.h.i.+ps buzzing around the stars.h.i.+p aimlessly as if mocking the Alliance’s incompetence.

Well, Lin Luoran actually disappears under the watchful eyes of everyone!

A commotion ensues on the stars.h.i.+p. The soldiers’ composure and honor are crushed when they deal with the mysterious earth cultivator!

All of a sudden, Colin Weir feels his neck is cold. He stiffly turns back his head with enlarged pupils. Recalling how earthlings greet each other before the new era of the earth, this handsome aristocrat from the Caesar Star forces a smile.

“Hi… Mortal Heart Fairy. How are you?”

Lin Luoran has gotten wet by the drizzle. The cyan little fox on her shoulder glances at Colin Weir and shakes its head. “This alien barbarian doesn’t look honest.”

It’s no surprise to meet a fox who can speak, for there are tens of millions of intelligent species in the universe.

But why kick me when I’m down? I’ve never offended you. f.u.c.k! Colin Weir scolds secretly. Obviously, he doesn’t know that foxes are extremely narcissistic and that the fox is just jealous of the good look of this handsome aristocrat from the Caesar Star.

Colin is still pondering over the reason for such an attack when Lin Luoran flicks the cyan fox on its head. “He can’t do harm.”

In order to confirm her words, Lin Luoran withdraws the Bright Sword on Colin’s neck.

Lin Luoran calmly goes over to the three captives and asks whether they have experienced anything unpleasant these days. Colin feels that such outright disregard for him is more irritating than a threat!

…

Robots shuttle through the clean aisles. After all, the members of the Alliance are not fools. Referring to the information provided by the garrison about the former invasion, they can guess at once where the missing cultivator has gone!

In fact, the key to hiding oneself lies in the similarity between the environment and the human body.

Based on similar principles, stealth fighters were developed by the earthlings before the new era, not to mention what the Alpha Alliance could accomplish. Actually, the Alliance has conducted a lot of research on earth cultivators in recent years, and concluded that cultivators are good at magical camouflage. In their opinions, if earthlings could easily transfer between different dimensions of the s.p.a.ce, the earth would not have been defeated in the invasion war years ago.

It is magical camouflage! Intelligent brain program, make an a.n.a.lysis! a.n.a.lyze the electromagnetic fluctuations, anomalies of water molecules, etc. Traces are sure to be found as long as magical camouflage is used!
