"A million Dragon Breed..."

Xue Jing subconsciously glanced through the porthole beside him toward the horizon.

The endless blue sky and white clouds revealed nothing... but according to what Captain Void Blade had said, were there really more than a million Dragon Breed orbiting the Earth Star at a distance of 10,000 kilometers that he still couldn't see?

"Just adapting to the space environment beyond 10,000 kilometers is an extremely difficult task, let alone the fact that the Dragon Mother is protected by a million-strong Dragon Breed cluster, making it nearly impossible to kill it."

Void Blade said.

"For decades, every country in the world has thought of various strategies, like absolute firepower coverage and covert beheading operations... but the vast majority of weapons and methods are greatly limited in the space environment."

"Among the million Dragon Breed, there are many with unique abilities, and their reconnaissance and detection capabilities are diverse; there's not the slightest gap for covert infiltration near the Dragon Mother."

The Mountain Demon took over the conversation from Void Blade, saying:

"Actually, it's not like there's no way to kill the Dragon Mother, but the cost would be much greater than the price of letting it live."

"The cost-performance ratio is simply too low, we might as well let it continue in space, and we just eliminate the overflowing Dragon Breed from time to time. It's the small countries that lack the capability to resist the Dragon Breed that suffer."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do Dragon Breed come to the ground to harass humans?"

Void Blade replied, "Of course they do."

"However, Dragon Breed are very intelligent creatures. In the territories of strong nations like Zhuxia, New Cross Church State, Arctic Second Federation, New Beiyang Council... the Dragon Breed generally avoid these areas because they have suffered losses there before."

"But for countries that lack sufficient deterrence, the Dragon Breed are much more unrestrained..."

"Now, every time the 'World Alliance Conference' is convened, there's a group of countries that suffer from Dragon Breed harassment, jointly requesting a campaign against the Dragon Mother..."

...

Meanwhile, as Xue Jing was chatting with the two in the cabin.

Not far from the plane, within the clouds, four silhouettes hovered in the air.

Each one of them was dressed in rubbery wetsuit-like garments that covered their entire bodies except for their heads, and they were wearing dark-tinted protective goggles over their eyes.

"Hmm? Are there still planes daring to fly at this altitude now? Are they asking for death?"

One of the hovering men, tall in stature, spoke up in bewilderment.

He pointed at the black plane in the distance, ripping through the air as it moved forward.

The gaunt woman floating beside him followed his finger and frowned, "How can that be? It shouldn't be possible."

The third among them, a man with long hair, had his eyes light up as he exclaimed, "No, look behind it!"

"There's no 'contrail', the plane isn't emitting any fuel exhaust!"

"It's a Dragon Core Machine! Dammit, to actually see a Dragon Core Machine out here in the Outer Ring?"

His voice grew excited.

That was indeed a Dragon Core Machine!

The production of such planes was extremely limited; there probably weren't even a thousand of them in the whole world.

To say nothing of the required technology, the raw materials alone were incredibly rare.

Dragon Breed core organs suitable as a power source were precious items that couldn't be bought at any price; you might not get one out of a hundred Dragon Breed.

Moreover, such core organs had a wide range of uses, and making planes was not the most cost-effective application for them.

All these reasons contributed to the rarity of Dragon Core Machines.

"What do you say, shall we make a move and snatch it?" The long-haired man immediately proposed.

The gaunt woman rolled her eyes, "What are you thinking, that it's wild? A Dragon Core Machine isn't a civilian product, who knows which major power this one belongs to!"

The long-haired man argued, "What's there to be afraid of, as if we don't have a power backing us? If we had this Dragon Core Machine, our group would be much more efficient in doing things. This thing doesn't have the problem of a mutation rate, it can stay in the sky forever!"

The gaunt woman shook her head, "No, I disagree; we don't know the situation with this aircraft, how many people are inside, what kind of combat power it has, it's all unknown. What if we upset some kind of monster? It's too late to call for backup now."

"Stop dreaming, you damn military otaku. If you want to fly a plane, wait until we get back to the Inner Ring and buy yourself a 'Simulation Pod' to experience it."

The long-haired man pouted and didn't argue with her anymore, looking towards the tall man, "Bang, what do you say?"

Bang, with his tall figure, simply shrugged, "I follow Zhong's lead."

The last among them was a burly and muscular man who appeared to be in his thirties.

His face was square, his expression calm and collected, with a purple diamond-shaped crystal embedded along the spine on his back, visible outside the tight suit.

"See, we have Zhong with us!"

The long-haired man seemed to find a compelling reason and his eyes shone brightly.

"Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhong, arms crossed and tapping his finger on his arm twice, stated succinctly, "Take it."

The woman frowned and sighed, "...If something goes wrong, I'll be the first to run and won't look back at you guys."

The long-haired man laughed, "No need to worry about us. With Zhong here, snatching a plane will be a piece of cake, right?"

...

"By the way, Captain Void Blade, I saw in the information you sent me that the Pureblood Dragon Breed in the Roaring Waterfall is a 'Core Creature'? What does that mean?"

Inside the cabin, Xue Jing asked.
