Chapter 661: The Exploration Continues

The strength of a soul master could never be simply measured by soul power. Especially for these young soul masters from Shrek Academy. All of their Martial Souls were undoubtedly extremely strong. A strong Martial Soul coupled with strong soul powerthis was true strength! Shrek Academy was truly Shrek Academy.

Lan Xuanyu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Dragon Source Crystals. Liu Zhenwu and the rest didn't stay any longer and immediately decided to return to the base to rest. Many of their mechas were damaged and needed to be repaired. Also, this battle had given him a wake-up call and he had to go back to rest and reorganize his strategy at the same time. He couldn't attack blindly. If they were completely wiped out this time, he would really be responsible.

After watching the mecha pilots leave, Lan Xuanyu and the others then dug out the Dragon Source Crystal from the head of the Star Tyrant Proto Dragon.

This Dragon Source Crystal was especially large, about the size of a human head. One could clearly feel the immense energy fluctuation inside.

The Dragon Source Crystal was gold in color and had a halo fluctuation inside, making it extremely eye-catching.

Lan Xuanyu took a closer look at the other Dragon Source Crystals. These Dragon Source Crystals were of different sizes but their appearances were similar. It was obvious that the bigger the crystal, the better it was. The energy contained within was also stronger.

After examining the Star Tyrant Proto Dragon's metalized corpse, Tang Yuge said to Lan Xuanyu, "The concentration of metal elements is much higher. It has very little impurities and is already at the level of a rare metal. Such a big corpse is quite a lot. It can be refined into quite a bit of Dragon Source Ore."

Lan Xuanyu gave her a thumbs up and stored the Star Tyrant Proto Dragon into his Ring of Fate.

Dragon Source Crystals could be exchanged for points and merits, and these corpses could be refined into rare metals. No wonder the teacher always said that it was easier to earn money after the fourth year. The process of completing missions was the best way to earn money!

Lan Mengqin moved closer to Lan Xuanyu and whispered, "I wonder what those people from the War God Temple would think if they knew that we were tailing them. You're really amazing. You made use of them to scout for us and familiarize ourselves with the characteristics and strength of the Proto Dragons. In the end, they even gave us all their gains."

Lan Xuanyu glanced at her and said, "You know too much."

Lan Mengqin was mostly right. The greatest gain from following the War God Temple's mechas was not these Dragon Crystals, but the understanding they gained towards Proto Dragons.

It was impossible for any amount of information to reveal the actual situation. Only by experiencing it for themselves would they be able to know the strength of the Proto Dragons and their characteristics.

If not for his Elemental Stripping skill, it would have been very troublesome to kill that Star Tyrant Proto Dragon just now, and he might have had to rely on the unique ability of the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd to kill it.

The Star Tyrant Proto Dragon was truly very strong. His magnetic ability was able to restrain almost all mechas and Battle Armors. His terrifying strength and destructive power had a strong effect on metal elements. The reason why Liu Zhenwu and his team were defeated so tragically was mainly because they were restrained by the magnetic field. Otherwise, they would have been able to run. The Star Tyrant Proto Dragon's explosive speed was fast, but his endurance was definitely inferior to a mecha.

With the previous test, Lan Xuanyu had a rough idea of the Proto Dragons' abilities. They should have no problem dealing with a Proto Dragon at the sixth rank or below, but it was hard to say for a higher ranked one. They might be able to challenge a seventh rank one, but they wouldn't be able to deal with an eighth or ninth rank one.

According to the information, rank 6 and above Proto Dragons rarely appeared, so this mission was relatively easy for them.

Right now, he already had over 20 Dragon Crystals in his hands, and he had almost completed one-tenth of the mission, especially with such a big piece of rank 6 Dragon Crystal. This was good stuff! He didn't know how many points he would be able to exchange for it when he returned. At the very least, it wouldn't be lower than a purple emblem, right?

At this rate, they should be able to complete the mission within 10 days. Now, it was a matter of how much gains they could make.

Lan Xuanyu looked at the soul communication device in his hand and realized that they were about 50 kilometers away from the base. He ordered everyone to move horizontally in search of Proto Dragons.

He didn't know where a high-grade Proto Dragon would appear, but there was no doubt that the further one was from the base, the more dangerous it would be. The closer one was to the base, the safer it would be. Since they had encountered a rank six Proto Dragon here, there was a possibility of encountering one again. To ensure their safety, it was naturally unsuitable for them to go deeper.

At this moment, Qian Lei was the most excited in the entire class. He was holding the meteor hammer tail of the Star Tyrant Proto Dragon that was cut off.

The cut was in the middle of the tail, leaving behind a tail that was about three meters long and a gigantic meteor hammer.

This thing was extremely heavy, but Qian Lei relied on the strength of the Golden Behemoth and could use it just right. He tried to lift it up by himself. It could really turn stone into powder, it was abnormally violent and extremely hard.

This was the perfect weapon.

Hence, he walked in front alone while the others stayed far away from him, afraid that they would be affected by the aftermath of his attacks.

This thing was simply the nemesis of mechas; even a mecha's protective barrier couldn't block it. The Star Tyrant Dragon Source's tail had an innate ability, Crush. And this ability didn't disappear with its death. After a few tries, Qian Lei had completely fallen in love with this thing. He didn't even notice that he had gone from being a Summoner to becoming a violent Brawler.

After searching horizontally for two hours, they encountered a few Proto Dragons. They weren't strong and were mainly at the second and third rank. They killed them along the way and accumulated over 30 Dragon Crystals.

Lan Xuanyu gave the order to rest and reorganize once again. Today's harvest was enough, but he still felt that something wasn't right because according to the information, there were many Proto Dragons on Dragon Source Planet, an extremely large number. This didn't match with their encounters this time!

"Yuge, can you detect the metal elements' fluctuation in the distance and use this method to find Proto Dragon?" Lan Xuanyu asked Tang Yuge.

Tang Yuge said, "It's alright at close range, but I can only roughly sense it from a distance."

Lan Xuanyu: "Just get a general sense. I'll assist you, let's give it a try."

As he spoke, he threw out a silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around Tang Yuge.

Tang Yuge closed her eyes and her body emitted a faint golden light. With the help of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, her perception increased greatly.

After a while, she opened her eyes again and shook her head at Lan Xuanyu. "It's not too good because the metal elements on this planet are too dense and it's the same everywhere. Unless there is an obvious strengthening of the metal elements, I can't feel much. At least in the range of my perception just now, there aren't many changes."

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. Their efficiency was a little low at the moment. Since he was here and discovered that the entire body of a Proto Dragon was a treasure, he couldn't just be satisfied with completing the basic requirements of the mission, right? He had to obtain more Dragon Crystals and more corpses to reap more benefits.

Lan Xuanyu said, "Everyone, stay here and rest. Liu Feng, Yuge, Xiuxiu, Mengqin, Huihui, follow me. We will use our Sky Wings to scout and look for Proto Dragons from the sky."

"Old Bing, when I'm not around, you will be in charge of the entire class. We will return as soon as possible."

Bing Tianliang nodded. "Alright."

Lan Xuanyu had considered the possibility of encountering a flying Proto Dragon in the sky, but their Sky Wings were extremely fast and the possibility of being caught up by a flying Proto Dragon was slim. And by using their Sky Wings to scout, they would be able to scout a much larger area and would naturally be able to find something.

"Boss, why don't you bring me along?" Qian Lei leaned over pitifully.

Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, "Go ahead and play with your metallic stick. If you guys encounter an attack by Proto Dragon, you will be responsible for taking the front."
