Chapter 1089: Chapter 1099: Mercury! (Three more)

"Doesn’t that mean if I mine this Wujin essence, the Moon would be gone?" Tang Zhong asked the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"What’s the big deal? The Moon is just an accumulation, and besides, in the universe, there’s plenty of this stuff. If it’s gone, it’s gone!" said the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"Alright then!" Tang Zhong chose to compromise, "So how do we go about mining it?"

"It’s simple, just leave it to the spaceship!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers replied.

"Alright!" Tang Zhong nodded.

He turned and boarded the Douluo.

Inside the cabin, Tang Zhong began to control the spaceship, and saw two beams of laser shoot out from beneath it.

"These are Clot lasers, they can cut through any hard object!"

The laser cut into the Moon, leaving a gash on the surface.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the rocks covering the surface of the Moon were blasted apart.

These rocks were meteorites, and if left unchecked, would result in an asteroid bombardment, so as they exploded, beams of light shot out from the spaceship, directly blasting those rocks apart.

As the outer layer of rocks exploded away, the Wujin inside was exposed to Tang Zhong’s sight.

It was a circular black mineral, with a diameter of several thousand meters!

"It’s indeed Wujin essence, and such a large piece too. Your luck is amazing, discovering such a valuable thing on your first expedition!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers couldn’t help but congratulate Tang Zhong.

"But it’s so big, how do we collect it?" Tang Zhong asked, "Plus, the Douluo is only so big, it can’t possibly hold this much Wujin!"

"Do you really think the Douluo is that small? Don’t forget, it’s a Dragon’s spaceship!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers said mysteriously.

At that moment, a beam of light shot out from the spaceship, enveloping the Wujin essence, then pulling it towards the spaceship.

"Don’t be fooled by the size of this spaceship; inside, it’s extremely vast. Not only can it hold this little bit of Wujin essence, but even a whole planet wouldn’t be a problem. Surprised? Do you understand now why I previously didn’t want to talk to you? Whatever I said, you might not have understood," said the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

Tang Zhong didn’t respond. This spaceship was truly powerful.

He watched as under the light, the Wujin essence quickly disappeared, entirely absorbed into the spaceship.

"I’ll show you where it is now."

The next second, in front of Tang Zhong, appeared a massive virtual warehouse with the Wujin essence inside.

"Didn’t lie to you, did I? This spaceship can hold anything. But kid, your luck is truly remarkable!" said the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

Tang Zhong stared at the screen ahead, amazed. In this universe, wonders never cease.

"Alright, the first stop is complete. Now let’s head to Mercury. According to records I have from long ago, it’s said there was a race that once lived on Mercury, but they were later destroyed. Let’s go and see if we can find some ruins!" said the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"Sure!" Tang Zhong nodded.

He knew this was part of his cosmic training, so he accepted it unconditionally.

And then, he continued to pilot the Douluo.

With a swoosh, the Douluo turned and headed towards Mercury.

Tang Zhong sat inside, reflecting on everything that had happened. The occurrences in the universe were truly beyond his imagination; he never dared to think such strange things could happen!

"Universe, you really have captivated me!" Tang Zhong clenched his fist.

The spaceship was very fast.

Even though the distance between the Moon and Mercury was vast, for the Douluo, it was nothing.

"Wait a moment!" suddenly, the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers spoke up.

"Why?" asked Tang Zhong.

"Slow down the ship!" instructed the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

And immediately, the Douluo abruptly halted.

"What’s the matter?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Look beside Mercury, it seems there’s someone there!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers said.

Before Tang Zhong’s eyes, a three-dimensional image of Mercury appeared!

Sure enough, on Mercury, there were red dots moving.

"These red dots represent people. I originally wanted to make this Mercury adventure your trial, but didn’t expect such a remote place would have visitors. Let’s go somewhere else," suggested the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

"No need, here is fine!" Tang Zhong insisted.

"Are you crazy? There are people here!"

Tang Zhong ignored the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers and piloted the ship: "Since it’s a trial, let’s treat this as a challenge. Besides, you don’t know if the people on Mercury are foes or allies!"

The ten Flame Dragon Soldiers were surprised by Tang Zhong’s response, and had no way to refute it: "Fine, let’s go then!"

"But be very careful. Remember, I once said, the weakest beings in the universe are War Gods!"

Tang Zhong interrupted before the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers could finish: "I too am a War God!"

At that moment, the Douluo was nearing Mercury!

Tang Zhong made a direct landing.

Mercury was covered with craters, vast plains, basins, radiating streaks, and cliffs!

"Give me all the data on Mercury!" Tang Zhong demanded.

"Yes, master!" replied the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

Immediately, the data appeared in Tang Zhong’s mind.

"Thousands of years ago, Mercury was occupied by a clan of the Mechanical Race, who built structures on it but eventually left for unknown reasons, leaving everything behind!"

"These records are merely introductions. Such a small place, few are willing to visit!"

"Understood!" Tang Zhong nodded.

"Be very cautious. If you encounter others, never let your guard down. Remember, this is a hostile environment; everything you do could lead to your demise!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers reminded.

On Mercury, gravity was low, allowing Tang Zhong to fly directly across.

He moved like an agile monkey spirit, weaving through the landscape.

The terrain was mountainous, very different from what humans used to see of Mercury.

"According to the data, the base should be just ahead, be careful!"

Tang Zhong slowed his pace.

Sure enough, beneath a vast valley basin ahead, he saw a base.

It looked like a steel city, with huge chimneys reaching skyward, covering millions of hectares, full of high technology, yet eerily quiet; clearly abandoned long ago.

Tang Zhong jumped straight down.

He landed in the midst of the steel city.

In the next moment, he saw dilapidated walls and melted steel.

"The Mechanical Race is a major race in the universe that specializes in mechanics. Their technology is highly advanced!" the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers explained.

"Oh!" Tang Zhong nodded, continuing forward, curious about the relics left by cosmic beings.

But then, with a clang, a sound came from ahead.

It seemed to come from just ahead.

"Someone’s there!" said the ten Flame Dragon Soldiers.

Tang Zhong squinted, it was likely those people detected earlier. Immediately, he clenched his fist, ready for confrontation.

From ahead, voices of lament and curses echoed: "Isn’t this supposed to be the Mechanical Race’s abandoned base? Why is there no treasure?"
