Luo Qingyan's expression finally improved as the dragon's body disappeared.
Seeing Lin Ran's original form reappear before her, Luo Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"You look much more pleasing to the eye like this..."
"But with that dragon body, wouldn't you be able to sweep across the world?"
Lin Ran shook his head:
"It's not that exaggerated. This body is, after all, a dragon corpse, and it's not that easy to use."
"The most direct point is that my heart is inside the dragon's body, and the pressure it bears is too great."
"It's only because my physique is special and my heart has been nurtured by the Natural Spirit Body..."
"Otherwise, if someone else came, they might not be able to last even half a minute."
"Even for me, it's at most five minutes."
"If my physique continues to strengthen in the future, I might be able to last a little longer."
"Moreover, using this black dragon's body to fight outside the pool consumes its internal life energy."
"The replenishment speed of the Dark Spring is not very fast, so if I can avoid using the black dragon's body, it's best not to use it."
Luo Qingyan smiled:
"But at the very least, you have an invincible burst of power, right?"
"If we encounter that Devouring Razor again now, we should be able to handle him."
Lin Ran nodded:
"We can handle him..."
"But if we want to kill him, it's still not enough."
"Hero-level units have too much health. If we want to crush him to death, it might not be in time."
"And if the Devouring Razor is determined to escape, it will be difficult for us to keep him."
Luo Qingyan rolled her eyes:
"Alright, alright, stop complaining when you've gained an advantage. Let's go back first."
"Zhao Wudi and the others are still lying there. We should go back and report that we are safe as soon as possible."
Lin Ran laughed heartily and reactivated Divine Might, sending himself and Luo Qingyan back to the tenth level of the Black Dragon Abyss.
At this place, the pond that should have contained the black dragon's body had disappeared along with the dragon's body, leaving only a large pit.
Luo Qingyan suddenly smiled faintly:
"I really don't know if those dark elves will go crazy when they see this scene..."
"The dragon corpse they intended to use the Dark Spring to nurture into a combat unit is gone, and even the Dark Spring and its source are gone."
"Everything they've done these days has become futile."
"The conflict that erupted with the Lightning Element tribe has only resulted in a huge loss..."
Lin Ran, while leading Luo Qingyan towards the teleportation array they had come from, shook his head and said:
"This can be considered us eliminating harm for the people."
"Otherwise, once the dark elves have successfully nurtured the black dragon corpse, it would likely be used against us."
"Now, we have helped humanity resolve a major problem in advance."
"Coupled with the Nature Heart we seized earlier, which disrupted the Lightning Element's teleportation plan, we've really done a great job."
Luo Qingyan nodded:
"However, we have also completely offended the Lightning Element and the dark elves..."
"These two alien races must hate us to the bone right now."
Lin Ran laughed heartily:
"Then let them come..."
"Let them be strong, I have Divine Might, I am completely fearless."
"Besides, the dark elf race doesn't even know that we stole their dragon corpse and the Dark Spring."
"They are more likely to blame the Lightning Element tribe for this..."
"After all, it was the Lightning Element tribe who were fighting with them for the dragon corpse in the first place."
"They even went so far as to damage their teleportation array and kill many of their people for it."
"The classic dog-eat-dog scenario is about to unfold, I love it!"
Luo Qingyan also chuckled:
"That's right, you're wicked enough, I like it..."
The two chatted as they reactivated the teleportation array and returned to the cave where Zhao Wudi was hiding.
This round trip, even with the stabilization effect of the teleportation array greatly reducing consumption, still used up 50% of the spatial-temporal energy.
Without the stabilization effect of the teleportation array, they would have been completely drained.
It could only be said that the tenth level of the Black Dragon Abyss was indeed incredibly deep.
Upon returning to the cave, Zhao Wudi and the other ten were still sleeping soundly, unchanged.
Lin Ran smiled and then used the ability of the Eternal Mangekyo to cancel their hypnosis.
Zhao Wudi then woke up from his sleep, looking at Lin Ran with sleepy eyes.
Lin Ran smiled slightly:
"I've also researched it. The damage to that teleportation array is indeed very significant, and it's completely unusable now."
"What you said is true."
"How about this, since we can't get it, let's make the most of its remaining value..."
"Send a message to the leaders of the Nightfall Organization, the Lightning Element, and the dark elves, telling them that a teleportation array exists here."
"You'll give me the intelligence fees for these three pieces of information, you won't object, will you?"
Zhao Wudi gave a wry smile:
"No objections, no objections... How could I dare to have objections?"
Lin Ran nodded with satisfaction:
"When you go back, just make up an excuse to fob off Xu Zheng."
"Continue to act as his subordinate under the guise of helping him kill me, and provide me with firsthand intelligence on Xu Zheng."
"The news must be fast, and the intelligence must be accurate!"
"As for how to do it, I shouldn't need to teach you, right?"
Zhao Wudi continued with a wry smile:
"No need, no need..."
Lin Ran smiled again:
"Don't break contact with the Nightfall Organization either. I'm very interested in this mysterious and arrogant organization."
"You'll be my inside informant..."
"As for the military region, you'll continue to be the captain of the Grizzly Special Forces. I'll cover for you with Commander Du."
"You won't be dismissed or executed."
"And the price for this..."
Zhao Wudi sighed:
"I understand. When you need us Grizzlies, just say the word."
Lin Ran nodded repeatedly upon seeing Zhao Wudi's compliance.
It was indeed comfortable talking to smart people. He only needed to give a hint, and they could figure out the rest themselves.
Sometimes, it was even more effective than him explaining it directly.
Thus, Lin Ran released the ten of them from their restraints using the ability of the Surgery-Surgery Fruit and led Luo Qingyan towards the cave entrance:
"I'll lift the illusion array at the entrance in five minutes, and you'll be able to leave directly then."
"Transfer the intelligence rewards to me as soon as you receive them. The consequences of hiding them..." You should understand.
"After you successfully complete these matters for me, I will return your ten hearts to you."
"As for now, they will be temporarily stored with me."
"After all, if they are with me, their growth rate might be faster than if they were in your bodies..."
With that, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan left with great strides, heading towards the armed fortress in the Fu Long Mountain Range.
