Chapter 181 Changsheng's Safe Return, Jerry Bradley's Hope
Zhai Anle sighed, "Okay, I'll use magic to help you wash it off."
Changsheng nodded the mecha's head and lowered his height slightly.
Zhai Anle pinched his fingers and sent a large water ball over Changsheng's head. The water washed over Changsheng's shell, clearing away the charred remains of the worms that remained in the cracks.
Only when Changsheng felt that there were no remnants of worms anywhere in his body did he remind Zhai Anle.
"Okay, Anle, I'm coming down."
Zhai Anle withdrew his hand. He saw Changsheng once again activate the high temperature, drying the water droplets on his body and restoring his black mecha shell. Then he fell directly from mid-air to Zhai Anle's side.
Zhai Anle grabbed Changsheng and looked at its mecha shell carefully.
"Is it bitten anywhere?" Zhai Anle asked Changsheng while turning it over and over to check.
Changsheng obediently followed Zhai Anle and let him check him from front to back and up to down.
Were there any wounds from the gnaws? Yes, there were. At the moment the collar's protective shield failed, Changsheng activated the high temperature, which had a reaction time of several seconds. Those tiny wounds caused by the worms' gnaws were almost imperceptible.
However, Changsheng's multicolored scales weren't made of ordinary material. They contained the multicolored stones Qi Junyi had found, the same multicolored stones that Nuwa was said to have used to mend the sky. Qi Junyi didn't know if the multicolored stones had actually been used to mend the sky.
But the five-colored stone is indeed a good thing. In addition to its certain repairing ability, it also has a special ability to change shape.
Changsheng didn't use his repair ability this time; it only smoothed out the tiny marks left by the worms. However, Changsheng thought such damage was insignificant.
Changsheng was very pleased with Zhai Anle's concern. Being cared for and loved by others was a good thing for Changsheng, and it was very meaningful to him.
No damage was found on the shell of Changsheng's mecha, so Zhai Anle breathed a sigh of relief and touched the head of Changsheng's mecha.
"How's it going? How's the spiritual energy consumption after being down there for so long?"
Changsheng shrank down and sat on Zhai Anle's shoulder. He leaned against Zhai Anle's cheek and whispered, "There was definitely some consumption. The outer protective layer was gone, so I turned on the high temperature. Plus, the density of the worms was even higher, so a certain amount of propulsion was needed. I used up almost two of the spiritual energy reserves from the spiritual stones."
Zhai Anle felt more relieved, as the handful of high-level spirit stones he gave him contained at least twenty or thirty pieces.
"Send the video to Doudou. Besides noticing the expansion of space down there, did you also see the holes they dug?"
Changsheng knew that the current situation was not suitable for it to be affectionate towards Zhai Anle, so he remained well-behaved.
"The video is transmitting. The tunnel they dug is strange and crooked. I reached nearly two hundred meters underground. After exploring the surroundings, I found a connecting point. The contact area at that point is not very large. The density of the tunnels has expanded the connection to nearly two meters."
Zhai Anle pondered, "Didn't you enter the other passage dug by the worms?"
Changsheng shook his head.
"According to your request, my first choice is naturally to find the depths of this rift. If I enter another passage, the result is unknown. However, it will definitely waste my spiritual energy reserves and a lot of time."
Very sensible and sound judgment.
Zhai Anle poked Changsheng's mecha head with his free finger, "Okay, now that you're out, just stay outside."
Changsheng shook little JIOJIO. Without any orders, it indeed remained well-behaved in front of people.
Changsheng noticed someone's gaze, looking at it intently. He tilted his mecha head and looked over. It saw a person holding a space vacuum cleaner in his hand.
Ah, the young man with a silver wolf tail standing next to him looks familiar... Oh, it's Yingyue. Then, the one next to him, wearing protective clothing and looking at it, is that Yin Yuanbao?
Yin Yuanbao, who was wrapped in protective clothing, had no idea what Changsheng was thinking at the moment. If he knew, he would probably be a little angry.
Zhai Anle noticed this as well. Changsheng's spells, or the activation of his weapons, all required the consumption of spiritual energy. In this situation, Changsheng didn't need to consume spiritual energy, so he didn't mind that he was more relaxed than others.
"Have you seen Yuanbao? He has been staring at you. Do you want to go over and play with Yuanbao?" Zhai Anle asked Changsheng.
Changsheng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I will be very good. I won't run around without instructions."
Zhai Anle chuckled softly, "Go ahead. You don't need to help clean up the worms. Your spiritual energy is for other things. So, don't show off."
Changsheng was obedient, "I remember it."
Zhai Anle raised his finger and flicked Changsheng's mecha forehead. "Go ahead. Chat with Yuanbao, but don't disturb him from working."
Changsheng jumped from Zhai Anle's shoulder and went towards Yin Yuanbao.
Zhai Anle glanced at Doudou, who had been on standby outside for the past two days.
"Doudou, have you received all the images?"
Doudou blinked his electronic eyes. "Master, the message has been received. Do you want to check it now?"
Zhai Anle shook his head. "No. Just screen the video content. The screening content is two-fold. First, find the channel intersection that Changsheng mentioned. Second, screen the worms in each frame to see if there are any different worms."
For more than six hours, Changsheng had been engulfed in worms. There were too many worms in the scene, and Zhai Anle didn't want to waste time, so he reminded Doudou.
"Mainly check the scene after Changsheng reaches 150 meters underground."
"Okay, master." Doudou responded sweetly, then crawled into Zhai Anle's pocket and started the screening process.
Team 2 had also been working for nearly 24 hours. The technicians had already built an elevator at the transport corridor. After Zhai Anle confirmed the elevator was safe, he allowed Team 2 to return to the starship to rest.
This time, knowing the worms had dug another tunnel, they couldn't stay on Zhuchen's surface for too long. After all, Aila wasn't even as big as Zhuchen, and the sunlight wasn't that long each day, so Zhai Anle couldn't risk it.
-----------------------------
On the 98th floor of the Tuttle Building on Red Star, in the Marshal's office.
Jerry Bradley is receiving his distinguished guest, the man he believes will be the new king of Red Planet.
The young man with black hair was sitting upright in Jerry Bradley's office chair.
Jerry Bradley stood respectfully beside him, his expression and attitude full of humility.
"Sir, why did you go to Blue Star before? Is there anything there worth your consideration?" Bradley's words revealed a hint of jealousy and sourness.
The young, dark-haired man tilted his head slightly to look at Jerry Bradley. His delicate features, sharp brows, and thin, light-colored lips perfectly complemented the ruthlessness in his words.
"Redstar was never my first choice, Bradley."
His voice was indifferent, completely ignoring Jerry Bradley's position and not saying a word to Bradley.
There was a hint of grievance on Bradley's resolute face.
"Sir, we from Red Star will be your greatest believers. We will stand behind you at all costs and provide you with everything you want."
The man snorted and laughed. "What does Red Planet have? How can it compare with the Federation?"
Bradley choked, but still tried to win back the young man's favor. Because in his opinion, the power of this young man was enough to make Red Star stand at the highest point in the starry sea.
