Lily brandished her Frostfire Claws to clear a path through the crisscrossing pipes and metal stubble. She was like a metal storm. Soon, those annoying obstacles were cleared away. But there was basically nothing around her. Imagine the scene of ice shards mixed with boiling water bubbles stirring like a tornado. Anyway, not long after Lily started, Hao Ren already had no idea where the maiden was. It was not until the clanking sound in the wreckage calmed down for half a minute that Lily came out of another hole in the hull. Her eyes were round and round. "I'm finally out... I can't use these claws in the water..."
Lily's face was flushed and her hair was curled up. She looked as if she had been lying in a steamer for ten minutes and had a perm. The temperature of the water around her was at least 200 degrees Celsius. It was fortunate that she was healthy.
"You should learn to control your power, not just use it as a weapon." Y'zaks pointed at the Frostfire Claws in Lily's hand. "These two weapons are very powerful, but it's a waste if you let their power dissipate. Look at my demonic flame. You can't feel any temperature more than a centimeter away from it, but this thing can vaporize a piece of hafnium alloy in a few seconds."
Nangong Wuyue was amazed. She asked curiously, "What's the use of such precise control?"
"It can slightly increase the core destructive power," Y'zaks pointed at his demonic fireball. "But the main function is to make the surroundings cooler when illuminating. It took me 200 years to solve the problem of heat dissipation when using the demonic flame in the castle."
As Hao Ren swam towards the wreckage, he could not help but look back and ask, "Do you demon kings usually have so much free time when there are no brave warriors coming to cause trouble?"
Y 'zaks smiled. "I guess I'm the only one among the demons."
As expected, there was a passageway in the wreckage, and it was relatively wide. At least Y 'zaks would not feel too cramped in it. Wuyue had also reverted from her sea snake form to her mermaid form for ease of movement. Lil Pea was already numb to it. The little one had given up on understanding the principle of the transformation. She just muttered and patted her tail to cheer herself up. She seemed to believe that as long as she grew a little bigger, her tail would be able to transform like Wuyue. Perhaps the little one's worldview could not be corrected.
This part of the corridor was crooked and twisted. Probably because it was too close to the outer shell, it was seriously damaged in the 'crash' two months ago. The white alloy walls on both sides of the corridor had wide cracks everywhere, and the blood red lake water was everywhere, making the eerie and twisted corridor look as scary as a horror movie. Hao Ren swam in front, carefully observing the situation inside. He felt that the style of the spaceship was different from what he knew. It was not like the simple lines of the transport ship No. 883, nor was it like the Kuiper Station, and definitely not the Imperial spaceship. But one thing was for sure, it was from a high-tech civilization.
"This should not be an ordinary 'crash'," Hao Ren said to the MDT beside him. "The knights stationed at the Blood Lake did not see this thing. It seems to have appeared directly at the bottom of the lake, and then crashed into the rocky foundation of the island in the middle of the lake. This is probably the cause of the flash, explosion, and earthquake that night. "
"Well, it looks like a space accident," the MDT replied. "I'm scanning the structure of the spaceship, but it's a mess inside. Many of the passages are twisted and broken. I need to find a relatively safe way to the control room."
Lily scuttled to Hao Ren's side and said in a particularly surprised tone, "Ha, this is a spaceship? Mr. Landlord, what does your spaceship look like? Isn't it more impressive than this? "
"Of course, it's an official spaceship," Hao Ren suddenly became smug. "If there's a chance, I'll let you go up and have a look. Wait for me to memorize the 'Inner Universe Navigation Regulations' …"
Not only Lily, but Vivian was also seeing such a high-tech thing for the first time in her life. Although the vampire maiden was usually dignified and calm, she could not help but feel amazed. She touched the cold super-hard alloy plate beside her and deeply felt the gap between the higher civilization and Earth. "With this thing, we can fly into space. No matter how strong I train my wings, I can't escape Earth's gravity … The extinction of the otherworldlings on Earth is inevitable."
Hao Ren did not expect Vivian to think so far ahead, but he had a slightly different view. "You can't say that. This world is the home of the otherworldlings. Their civilization is also glorious. Although the technological gap is serious, the werewolves and the Blood Clan have perfected their biochemical technology. The people on Earth have not been able to create artificial life, but they can create their own long-lived species. I think the main reason why the otherworldlings on Earth can't develop is because they are too few in number and scattered. They can't form the foundation of civilization, and there are often demon hunters causing trouble."
"If the path is wrong, then everything is wrong." Vivian sighed. "I don't know what happened when the otherworldlings first came to Earth. If they really came from The Plane of Dreams, then why doesn't anyone remember the situation here in this world? All the people I knew were busy with some strange things, and no one thought about developing civilization or anything. Later on, we were even overtaken by humans. In the beginning, they were just like monkeys. "
Hao Ren felt that this was indeed a problem that he had not thought about. Raven 12345 had already said that the otherworldlings on Earth came from The Plane of Dreams. So, the first generation of otherworldlings on Earth should have known about the glorious civilization of this world. But they did not do anything on Earth. This was a little strange.
"Perhaps the otherworldlings on Earth only came to this world after the apocalypse in The Plane of Dreams," Hao Ren guessed. "The timeline is very vague. It seems that even Raven 12345 is not very clear about it. But if it was after the apocalypse, everything would be easier to explain."
There was still too little information about the otherworldlings coming to Earth. Hao Ren and Vivian discussed it for a while but to no avail. At this time, they had reached the end of the passage. A crooked alloy gate blocked the way.
"There is a very wide space behind this gate." The MDT showed them the scan results of the spacecraft's structure. "The main frame of this gate is not damaged. It should be able to be opened directly. But there is something stuck on the other side. I don't recommend breaking the gate by force. The structure here is very fragile. Breaking the gate with force may cause problems. "
Hao Ren saw the 3D projection showed that there was a metal rod on the other side of the gate which was stuck on the locking mechanism. It was a retro spacecraft. Part of its gate used a classic exposed mechanical locking mechanism, which relied on a rotating shaft or a capstan to lock the door. The metal rod was stuck on the capstan behind the gate.
Hao Ren looked through a hole on the side of the gate. It was just enough for an arm to go in and out. Through the hole, he could see that there was a warehouse on the other side. He could vaguely see some small humanoid figures floating in the red lake. It suddenly caught his attention.
"Who can open the gate?" Hao Ren turned his head and asked. Wuyue immediately stepped forward. "Use tentacles …"
"No, it's too much." Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. Then, he suddenly saw Lil Pea swimming in the pure water ball beside him. "By the way, there doesn't seem to be any strange smell here, right? Then I'll take Lil Pea out of the water ball. "
Hao Ren waved his hand and the little mermaid came out of the water ball and rubbed against his face. Her cold and slippery tail was like … uh, like a carp. Hao Ren held the little mermaid in his hand and tried the opening next to the gate. He found that it was just enough for him to go in. He patted the little mermaid's head confidently. "Lil Pea, go in and open the gate …"
Wuyue's eyes widened. "Will it work?"
Before her voice trailed off, Lil Pea let out a soft cry and went in through the hole that was only as thick as an adult's arm. A few seconds later, there were a few clicks on the other side of the gate. Hao Ren turned the capstan twice and the gate opened.
"I found out a while ago." Hao Ren pushed the gate open and hugged Lil Pea in his arms. He patted her. "This little mermaid is terrifyingly smart. Although she can't speak, she can understand most of our conversation, even Lily's barks."
Hao Ren looked at everyone's surprised expression with satisfaction. He proudly held his clever daughter in his arms and swam into the warehouse. Then, he saw a green humanoid creature floating towards him. It was wrinkled from being soaked in the water.
"Holy sh * t!"
