Chapter 1153: Chapter 842 Development Zone_3

Tao Yu glanced at the others, fearing that none but Old Man Yamamoto could keep up.

At that moment, he grasped his Soul Cutting Sword once more.

A gigantic white Big Void quickly took shape, and under Tao Yu’s Hollowification resonance, it transformed into a massive Flying Dragon!

The dragon claws gripped the steel deck of the platform, causing it to screech and morph, releasing a chilling, soul-stirring cry!

Argh~

“Let’s go.”

As Tao Yu spoke, the others from behind instinctively leaped onto the pitch-black giant dragon, which was dripping with black water.

Buzz~

The giant dragon lifted a leg, causing the massive platform to tremble and tilt, before it flapped its wings and swiftly pursued Wayne, maintaining a synchronized distance.

The mere presence and speed of this dragon were enough to make Wayne feel a chill in his heart, realizing that his own mount was no match…

…

On the other side, Dalvin’s smile instantly turned grim after putting down the communicator.

The air around him dropped sharply, with frost appearing on the ground and walls.

“Hmph, arrogant fool!”

After speaking, he looked at a shadow beside him, wearing square glasses and a benevolent smile.

“Mr. Aizensousuke, he seems to have brought others from your Soul Society, I wonder how many strong entities like you exist in the Soul Society.”

Lan Ran adjusted his glasses, smiling slightly.

“If I’m not mistaken, he might have brought the Captain along. In direct confrontation, I am no match for the Captain, whose expertise is in flame techniques.”

“Stronger than you? Skilled in flames, huh…”

Dalvin frowned. This Mr. Aizensousuke was a native strong entity from the Soul Reaper World.

For such pure Chosen Ones, no Pioneer force would choose to reject them.

Lan Ran, with his refined demeanor and notable Illusion Technique, quickly gained recognition and successfully persuaded them.

In a short period, they completely accepted this kind-hearted individual, even assisting him in restoring his power with some potentially useful techniques.

Despite not having regained his full power yet, his potential indicated a powerful Catastrophe Level entity once restored!

“Yes, stronger than me.”

As Lan Ran said this, he sighed somewhat sorrowfully.

“In fact, the Captain has shown kindness to me in the past, but now that I have joined Extreme Ice City, I must prioritize the collective honor. Therefore…, I request not to participate in this action.”

Lan Ran’s sigh prompted an immediate nod from Dalvin.

“No problem, we won’t force you. We’re always lenient with our own!”

He was indeed worried about Lan Ran; what if this guy turned around and assisted the opposition?

Even though they had made various preparations, if someone supported the other side from outside the trap, it could disrupt the plan.

After all, unforeseen variables had already arisen.

If indeed a Catastrophe Level casualty occurred, they would avoid immediate action.

Now hearing Lan Ran say this, Dalvin felt somewhat reassured.

This Chosen One is considerate, proactively addressing their concerns.

Moreover, when recounting his experiences, the Captain was still seen as a stubborn figure who chased him out. Just due to small past favors, he still bears a grudge.

Such a person is truly a Holy Mother Chosen One worthy of backing up.

“Alas, I’ve only just come out and am inexperienced; I can’t bear to witness the Captain’s fate. Therefore, I wish to borrow the Teleportation Device to visit the Old Development Area, if Mr. Dalvin allows.”

“No problem, haha, the Transmission Fee at the Catastrophe Level is not cheap, but between two Development Zones under the same Flame of Civilization, it’s quite affordable, and you deserve this price.”

Dalvin’s smile widened.

Leaving them here only causes unrest; this is the best outcome…

—

“Lord Lan Ran, are we just leaving like this? No wonder you never let us start adapting to this World’s techniques first.”

Shi Wan Yin’s fox-like eyes smiled mischievously at Lan Ran.

Followed by several others.

Not directly avoiding this closest Development Zone to depart, Lan Ran must have planned well in advance!

Indeed, the risk of traveling by foot remains too high; no one knows if we might cross paths with the opponent’s route?

Moreover, the opponent seems to possess Clairvoyance capabilities.

Spending some time, then using a Teleportation Array that gets more costly the stronger one’s prowess, is timely.

Arrive at the Old Development Area, understand the map there, then quickly leave, or stay temporarily based on actual circumstances without concern.

“This technique can be utilized only once; having just left the original World, the Teleportation Device can accept this setup. Once we start adapting to external Power, hiding becomes much more difficult using other methods.”

Lan Ran adjusted his glasses, having learned much from the captured Captain Li Yi and recent side-channel insights.

It’s extremely hard to conceal strength using the Teleportation Device; various disguise methods and Sealing Techniques hardly work, unless actual strength is significantly constrained, using various self-mutilation techniques carries too much risk.

Our current state is a rare opportunity.
