Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 404 - 24: Inside the Spaceship

Chapter 404 -24: Inside the Spaceship

In the midst of yellow sand, groups of Crystal Floating Cannons wandered like messengers of the Death God.

In the distance, a huge Pioneer spacecraft, resembling a dead Magic Beast, emitted terrifying radiation.

Boom!

A black fireball exploded in the air, resembling a black firework. Immediately afterward, over a dozen Light Cannons pierced through the darkness, heading straight for the robed figure running towards the spacecraft.

Buzz! Buzz…

The humming sound of the Floating Cannons caused Richard to experience some ringing in his ears. The Light Cannons hitting him felt like heavy hammers, shattering his scales and ripping his flesh.

Yet, he had no intention of resisting the Light Cannons.

Resisting would consume Magic Power and right now, what Richard needed most was Magic Power.

The radiation near the spacecraft far exceeded Richard’s imagination. Over the short distance of a few dozen kilometers, the intensity of the energy radiation in the air had doubled.

To combat this radiation, Richard had to use all his Magic Power to maintain the recovery of his body’s cells.

As for the attack of the Floating Cannons? It was just a splash of water.

In fact, the force of the Floating Cannons even helped to increase his speed.

Energy radiation was far more deadly than the Light Cannons of the Floating Cannons.

Suddenly, several dark red beams of light caught Richard’s eyes.

In the distance, over a dozen Floating Cannons had somehow moved in front of him.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Over a dozen Light Cannons shot towards Richard like arrows, forcing him to dodge to the side.

The Light Cannons from behind could propel him, but taking the ones in front head-on was not beneficial.

However, after dodging, Richard suddenly noticed something amiss.

He glanced sideways with the corner of his eye, and his body immediately stiffened.

Dozens of Crystal Floating Cannons were closing in on both his sides, preparing to surround him. If they succeeded, a huge delayed force field would form.

By then, even if he used Shadow Shuttling, he might not be able to escape.

Shadow Shuttling also had a limit to its range.

“Damn.”

Richard’s expression darkened, and his body abruptly stopped. Then, with a step, his figure instantly appeared in front of the Floating Cannons that had been chasing him for a long time.

Walking forward would only lead into the delayed force field, while retreating, although perilous, would still offer a sliver of opportunity as long as he avoided the force field.

This was enough for Richard to take the risk.

He gripped his staff with both hands, Magic Power surged within him, and with three crisp “snap” sounds, the World Tree Staff pointed at the air three times, shattering three Crystal Floating Cannons along with their energy shields into pieces.

This was the secret technique of Changshan Temple, the Mountain Climbing Stick Technique.

In the Mountain World, where the mountains were steep, one inevitably needed a climbing stick to walk up the mountains. The mountains in the Mountain World were hard and, weathered by wind and rain, were extremely smooth.

To climb, one needed to fiercely poke the rock with an iron stick, to make a mark an inch deep, which allowed for unimpeded mountain climbing.

This stick technique was born from that practice.

The elegance of the Mountain Climbing Stick Technique lay in the coordination between muscle strength and energy circulation, concentrating immense power within a small area.

It was considered the most cost-effective weapon technique transmitted within Changshan Temple.

As the Floating Cannons were shattered, Richard was about to run backwards, but suddenly, a bird’s cry from afar made him instantly halt his steps.

A pitch-black beast with black flames blazing, swept over the Floating Cannons like a tiger descending the mountain.

The next moment, a layer of black flames ignited on them, quickly melting and deforming them.

“Ha-ha-ha, Richard, you look a bit wretched.”

The black-flamed beast mocked as it flew beside Richard, transforming into a black crow.

The newcomer was none other than Ulysses, who had been separated from Richard due to a teleportation error.

Seeing Ulysses, Richard felt a weight lift from his chest and said with a smile, “Enough with the chit-chat, let’s get moving. These things are unending.”

“Tsk, saving the day and not a word of thanks,” Ulysses clicked his tongue.

With that, his figure suddenly enlarged, his Crow Claws grabbing Richard’s shoulders, and they flew toward the spacecraft.

The Crystal Floating Cannons nearby automatically ignited with black flames as they approached.

“Wow, that’s a strong move,” Richard observed Ulysses’s method, somewhat surprised.

Ulysses’s voice carried a hint of pride, “Just a little trick, all thanks to the energy radiation around here, otherwise I couldn’t have pulled it off.”

Soon, the two arrived under the spacecraft.

On the yellow sand outside the spacecraft, there were melted Crystal Puppets everywhere.

Seeing this scene, a sense of fear crept into Richard’s heart. Even without the Floating Cannons, with just these puppets outside the spacecraft, his chances were slim.

Ulysses set Richard down, “Alright, get down. Those Floating Cannons can’t come here.”

Richard gripped a Magic Essence in his hand, and ripples continuously spread across his Magic Barrier.

The energy radiation next to the spacecraft had reached a terrifying level; even Richard’s Magic Barrier couldn’t completely block it. He had to use his Transformation Battle Body layered with the Magic Barrier to ensure safety.

“How do we get in?”

Richard looked at the enormous object in front of him, a massive structure made of crystal and metal with a very smooth exterior, showing no signs of anything resembling a door.

“Who knows, I personally recommend burning our way in. These crystals don’t seem to handle heat very well.”

“Burn our way in?”

Richard frowned slightly; this suggestion didn’t seem like a good one.

Those dilapidated Crystal Towers could be recklessly explored because there was hardly any energy inside them.

But this spaceship didn’t seem to lack energy.

If they accidentally activated the spaceship’s defense mechanisms, the consequences would definitely be more troublesome than those floating cannons.

Richard approached the spaceship, using his spiritual power to try and find some traces on it.

But as soon as he got close, a red light shot out from the spaceship and landed on him.

[Identity confirmed: Dragon King Species]

After Richard’s identity was confirmed, the light instantly changed from red to green, and a hatch automatically opened at the edge of the spaceship.

Ulysses, seeing this, looked Richard up and down in surprise.

“Richard, tell me the truth, are you really a pure human? How come this thing opens automatically whenever it encounters you? It doesn’t react at all when it meets me.”

Richard stroked his chin, not taking Ulysses’s joke seriously.

He speculated, “It must be the Dragon Blood. The status of giant dragons in the Pioneer civilization must be much higher than we think.”

However, whatever the reason was, now they could enter.

The two flew into the spaceship from the entrance, but an energy barrier blocked Ulysses from entering.

[Detected unknown high-level lifeform entering the fortress, please register]

A cold voice suddenly rang in Richard’s ear, causing him to shudder.

But after hearing the message clearly, Richard replied in Dragon Language, “This is my… pet.”

[Registering identity, please wait]

[Identity registration complete, welcome to the World Tree’s Number Three Star Realm Fortress]

“This thing is pretty smart.” Ulysses flew to Richard’s shoulder, whispering in his ear, “There is probably a tower spirit inside, you better be prepared.”

“I know.”

As the two entered, the ship’s doors immediately closed.

The next moment, the energy radiation permeating the air vanished.

Even the space itself became more stable.

Richard was slightly startled, but he quickly recovered. It was nothing special; whether it was radiation shielding materials or space stabilization anchors, Wizard’s Floating City had them all.

Now that the space had stabilized, Richard and Ulysses, braving the space anchors, opened a Secret Realm Rift, allowing Hog and the Snake King to come through.

This action once again drew the attention of the ship’s intelligence.

[Warning: Inside the Star Realm Fortress, all spatial manipulation must be registered and reported. Dragon King Species, you have violated the ship’s regulations. If repeated, please proceed to the Time Isolation Chamber for punishment]

But despite the warning, Richard and Ulysses’s action was successful.

The Snake King and Hog both successfully emerged from the Secret Realm.

After registering, Hog looked around with a bewildered expression.

“Where is this?”

The surroundings seemed like a key that constantly triggered ancient memories in his mind.

Meanwhile, the Snake King, looking at the interior of the spaceship, also fell into thought. However, he assimilated memories quickly, and soon understood where they were.

“The Supreme’s Star Realm Fortress!” exclaimed the Snake King.

“Yes, the Star Realm Fortress.” Richard nodded slightly, “What else is in your Bloodline inheritance?

We are now in a crashed Star Realm Fortress, and I need a guide to help me find something.”

“What are you looking for?” asked the Snake King.

Richard smiled slightly, a flicker of ambition in his eyes.

“I am looking for the Star Map.”

…

The Star Map was the most useful thing from the Pioneer civilization for Wizard civilization.

The efficiency of the Wizard civilization in obtaining world coordinates was so low that many Great Wizards couldn’t even embark on an interstellar expedition in thousands of years.

This significantly slowed the progress of the Wizard World.

But if Wizards could obtain the Pioneers’ Star Map, they could deduce all the world coordinates recorded by the Pioneer civilization.

This would greatly accelerate the conquests of the Wizard civilization.

Richard didn’t even hope to get a complete Star Map; even obtaining just a fragment would satisfy him. freewёbnoνel.com

A fragment of the Star Map would suffice to allow him to trade with the Great Wizards, and even the Tower of Truth, for plenty of benefits.

If the content of the Star Map was extensive, trading it for a chance to be promoted to a Great Wizard wasn’t impossible.

Even if the Star Map content was incomplete, he could still use it to bargain for two permanent fiefdoms. Or he might simply hide it and wait until he became a Great Wizard, then use it to conquer.

“Command Room… let me think.”

The Snake King wasn’t surprised by Richard’s request; he had already learned about the general state of the Wizard civilization through Hog’s words.

Overall, it was a vibrant civilization.

The Star Map left by the Supreme could greatly accelerate the growth of the Wizard civilization.

After pondering for a moment, the Snake King suddenly opened his eyes.

Then Richard saw him speaking to the spaceship wall:

“Fortress main control, where is the Command Room?”

Watching this scene, Richard was taken aback, then saw the Snake King turn to him and say:

“The Command Room is a bit dangerous. Main control told me that the Command Room has been attacked by unknown enemies and is now under the influence of the Power Furnace Radiation.”
