Chapter 1382 (1/2)

Chapter 1382: 455. A crafty rabbit has three burrows.

“`

Eguaralr Galaxy.

A place that produces artificial flora and fauna.

Here, there are apples with the flesh growing on the outside of the skin, bananas that are as crisp as potato chips, pomegranates that produce juice with just a gentle squeeze, and many, many artificially modified animals, plants, and creatures that are half-animal and half-plant.

In a place with such an explosion of biodiversity, it would quite make sense for a speaking Metal Dragon Man to suddenly appear, wouldn’t it?

Deep underground on the most remote agricultural resource planet in the Eguaralr Galaxy, inside a cold storage more than two hundred meters down, the Dragon Man of the Metal Ancestor Dragon burst out of the storage container and tumbled onto the floor, covered in frost.

“Damn… damn… damn…”

This Dragon Man was extremely weak, but the hatred spewing from its mouth hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

It clenched its fist, weakly punching the ground, struggling to stand while venting the rage in its heart.

“Damn! Cough cough cough…”

The roar that erupted from its throat ripped through the injuries in its body, causing the Dragon Man to cough in agony, bending over on the floor, curling up like a shrimp.

“Heaving…”

Gasping heavily, the Dragon Man supported itself on the cold outer shell of the cold storage container and shakily stood up.

Its shattered iron wings were full of fierce gaps, resembling ribbons punctured by scissors, dragging weakly behind it.

Leaning against the storage container and twisting its stiff neck, the Dragon Man surveyed its surroundings, and seeing that it matched its prior estimations, it temporarily set aside its worries.

This location was one of the pre-designed emergency teleport destinations, the safest point closest to the explosion site.

The Metal Ancestor Dragon possessed a life-saving extraordinary ability, simply known as the “Metallic Avatar Swap,” formally called “Omirudo’s Metallic Avatar Life-saving Technique”.

In a dire moment, the Dragon Man activated this extraordinary ability.

It swapped places with a metallic avatar situated in a safe area, letting the avatar bear the brunt of the explosion, while it teleported itself to the avatar’s original safe location—this cold storage underground.

The energy consumed by this extraordinary ability was incredibly vast.

Exchanging places with a metallic avatar was effectively like undergoing two teleports simultaneously.

Two teleports, double the energy consumption.

The physical toll of experiencing such transport twice in quick succession goes without saying.

Additionally, the mental shock to the Dragon Man caused by the death of the metallic avatar was not something to be understated.

After resting against the container for a full ten minutes, the Dragon Man finally completely recovered from the intense dizziness and haziness.

Three minutes later, having recuperated a portion of its mobility and clarity of thought, the Dragon Man reflected on the recent massive explosion and couldn’t help but feel perplexed:

Where on earth had that bomb come from?

Heavy Transport Ships were made from metal.
