Chapter 722: The Summoned Person

A few days later, somewhere in the Ancient Starpath, the Temporarily Formed Porto Scavenger Fleet was sailing slowly.

The Ancient Starpath was different from other places. Scavengers in other places were afraid that one more person would compete with them for the harvest.

But in the Ancient Starpath, one more lifeform and one more spaceship meant a few more points of hope for Survival at crucial moments.

Such temporary team-ups were very common in the Ancient Starpath.

They were just like merchant caravans from other places, except that their spaceships looked far too dilapidated.

Most people gathered in the spaceship modified from a Transport Ship in the center.

There was no trust to speak of in this temporarily assembled fleet. They could only adopt a method similar to taking a "Hostage," so that the other spaceships wouldn't just turn around and run when encountering danger.

At this moment, in a corner of the hall, Ron was sitting at a Table, eating a gooey nutritious meal bite by bite. His cheeks bulged with every chew, his eyelids lowered, and his gaze fixed on the tabletop.

The nutritious meal didn't taste very good, but it could replenish Nutritious Substances very well.

Although it tasted awful, Ron didn't care too much right now.

The reactions coming from all parts of his body were telling him that his Gene Chain had been developed to its limits.

He remembered clearly that during his last test, his Gene Chain had only been developed to seventeen percent.

Moreover, he seemed to have been tainted with some special trait; Lightning Glow would flash when he attacked, greatly enhancing his Strength.

He knew all of this was Dragon Sovereign's gift, but he didn't mention it to anyone, not even his own father.

Wearing dilapidated Armor, he opened his helmet, looking Simple and Unadorned.

And sitting at the Tables around him were other scavengers, chatting while eating, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Occasionally, someone's gaze would sweep over Ron, a slight Apprehension showing in their eyes.

These people knew that this very young-looking lad was the guy who killed the "Earthshaker" Blood Elephantman.

Because of this, Ron even got a nickname called "Lightning Glow." The dilapidated Armor he wore was rummaged out from the other party's Space Compression Device.

However, after the previous lesson, the vigilance and guard in the eyes he occasionally cast around had become much more obvious.

And towards this Unfathomable guy, the others didn't have any intention of striking up a conversation either.

Just then, a female cat-person wearing earthy-yellow dilapidated clothes walked over from a distance, Timid and Cowering. Her face was full of smudges, and the oversized clothes concealed her figure.

After seeing Ron, her eyes lit up slightly as if she wanted to walk over, but the bright gaze quickly dimmed down again.

"Hill..." Ron called out, immediately attracting some people's attention, but he didn't care.

In this place, one had to be Fearless. Being Timid and Cowering would only attract bullying from others.

He had also met Hill by chance. The two were similar in age. Hill had a cowardly and Simple-minded personality, but she was a Veteran Scavenger.

Ron, who did not belong to this grey world, instead favored this personality more, and they quickly formed a good friendship in a short time.

Many guys cast their gazes on Hill, making the Hill who was used to no one caring somewhat unaccustomed, and she could only walk quickly to Ron.

"Don't call me so loudly. It's easy to be noticed by others," Hill said in a low voice. There was clearly a piece missing from her furry ears.

There were also some small wounds at the corners of her eyes. Although they had stopped bleeding, if it had deviated even slightly, Hill's eye would probably be gone.

"What happened to your eye? Did that group bully you again?" Ron frowned and said.

"I was careless myself..." Hill said in a low voice, her gaze dim.

"Why don't you leave their team and join us instead..." Ron suggested.

"No, Sister Perseus saved my life..." Hill shook her head without any hesitation.

"But even so, they can't treat you like a slave! Besides, the Squad Member who saved you is already Dead," Ron sighed, Hating Iron For Not Becoming Steel.

Just as the two were conversing, an untimely feminine voice came: "Little Kitty, what did I tell you? Don't talk to strangers."

Not far away, a provocatively dressed woman was looking over. Her smooth thighs were exposed to the air, attracting a large number of gazes and the sound of gulping saliva.

However, the Prismatic Whip-Blade held in the woman's hand made the others stop their thoughts at just looking.

"Sister Kasha..." Hill's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but step back.

"Come here, kitty..." Kasha flicked the Whip-Blade, a crisp crack accompanied by a cold glint flashing through the air.

Hill was obviously hesitant, a trace of fear flashing across her eyes.

Kasha narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "A wild cat indeed cannot be tamed!"

Crack!

The Whip-Blade drew a graceful arc, then suddenly straightened at the end, heading straight for Hill's body.

Ron hesitated for a moment, but his body had already reacted a step ahead of him, directly grabbing the Whip-Blade that was about to strike Hill.

His palm rubbed against the Whip-Blade, creating sparks.

"You want to Meddle in Others' Affairs?" Kasha's eyes were very cold. The surrounding scavengers had already voluntarily formed a circle.

No one stopped the imminent battle; instead, their eyes were full of anticipation.

"I was afraid you would hurt me," Ron made up an excuse.

Kasha pressed a button on the Whip-Blade's handle, and the barbed blade body rose.

A streak of Electric Arc flashed across Ron's arm, and a thick electrical current extended along the Whip-Blade.

Kasha's expression changed slightly. Gritting her teeth, she was forced to let go of the Whip-Blade.

Ron pulled back the Whip-Blade, looked at the gloomy-faced Kasha, and said: "Why can't you hold your own Weapon properly."

He jerked it violently from the end, and the Whip-Blade, coiled with Lightning Arcs, went towards Kasha like an electric snake.

"Know when to stop..." The electric snake was caught by a sudden figure. He stood between the two, and the raging Lightning Glow had no effect on him.

"Boss..." Kasha lowered her head and said.

Hill's face looked somewhat pale.

Ron narrowed his eyes. Hill had talked to him about this guy; he was the Boss of Hill's team.

He usually didn't care about anything, but his Strength was greater than Ron's, and Ron wasn't confident in winning against him.

"Hill, come back." His voice was flat but laced with an unquestionable meaning.

Hill bit her lip tightly, her steps moving slowly.

"Wait..." Ron finally spoke up, saying to that guy: "You must be Hill's Boss. Don't you know she's often bullied by that Kasha?"

"This is our team's business. You should know the rules, right." His tone was muffled.

In this grey world of scavengers, Marauders, and adventurers, there were many Unwritten Rules.

Not meddling in others' business was an important Unspoken Rule.

"She is my Friend..." Ron was, after all, a Newcomer, and couldn't be completely indifferent.

"You want to make an enemy out of me?" He stared closely at Ron, not showing much emotion in his eyes.

"Hill wants to leave your team," Ron changed the subject.

"Then it's decided." Faint black fire coiled around him, and an indistinct Aura burst forth, making Ron's expression turn solemn.

"Boss Eck, I'll go back right now!" Hill shouted suddenly.

This stunned both sides simultaneously. Many onlookers around booed at the same time; it seemed they wouldn't get to see a good show today.

Ron was even more surprised.

Under normal circumstances, he couldn't beat the other party.

But right now, his body had undergone some kind of mutation. He himself hadn't figured it out, but he had an intuition that his combat power when fully exploding would definitely exceed his imagination.

It was just that Hill seemingly didn't want to implicate him, preferring to go back and suffer.

However, at this moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

Bang!!

The spaceship jolted violently, as if it stopped instantly. Even the internal shock-absorbing system failed to eliminate the massive inertia. Everyone present staggered, fell to the ground with thuds, and panicked.

"What happened?"

"The spaceship seems to have stopped!"

"Did we run into a Cosmic Calamity?!"

As everyone panicked and got up, no longer caring about watching the show, they Swarmed toward the portholes to figure out what exactly had happened.

However, outside the portholes, it wasn't some Cosmic Calamity, but pitch-black warships one after another. They were massive in scale and all standard-issue warships.

Their few Jalopy Spaceships weren't Not Even Enough to Fill a Tooth Gap for others.

"Where did these warships come from? Why would they force us to stop?"

"Yeah, we're just a bunch of scavengers."

"..."

Everyone discussed animatedly, their confusion mixed with panic.

Right at this moment, something that made them feel unbelievable happened.

They saw those pitch-black warships suddenly split from the middle, and as the parts flipped over, they quickly became Mechanical Lifeforms.

"This..."

"It's the Transformation Legion!"

Someone exclaimed. This obvious characteristic allowed them to recognize them instantly.

"It's the Legion under Dragon Sovereign. Why would they appear here!?"

Dragon Sovereign?

At the back of this group of scavengers, Ron, who was vigilantly watching Eck, had a slight change in his eyes, and a hint of excitement surfaced on his face.

Unlike the confusion and panic of this group of scavengers, he believed that meeting Dragon Sovereign would definitely not be a bad thing.

"This is the Transformation Legion. We are temporarily taking over your fleet. Please do not put up a senseless fight, to avoid casualties."

Their broadcast was hacked, and the cold warning poured into everyone's ears.

Very quickly, a large number of small Transformers took over the fleet. They merely blocked the signals and gathered everyone together, without any further action.

Not much time passed before footsteps suddenly sounded outside again. Under everyone's nervous gazes, the Blast Door opened, and a tall young man walked in.

"Dragon Sovereign... Your Excellency..." Someone couldn't help but exclaim. They didn't expect to meet Dragon Sovereign himself here.

"It's Dragon Sovereign!?" The others had similar reactions.

To this group of people, an A-Tier Lifeform was already high and mighty, let alone Dragon Sovereign.

"Near the Stuttgart Civilization Ruins, this is already the sixth batch. I wonder if there's any..." Li Yu muttered to himself. He was looking for an extremely important figure.

But because he learned this clue from foreseen possibilities, it wasn't like he had known about the existence of The Umbra all along and could directly utilize Golf.

In fact, the clue about Golf was also something he learned through Vissa.

But anticipating the possibilities of the future allowed him to skip the step with Vissa entirely.

However, he had absolutely no clues about the person he was looking for now.

So, this was a possibility that had never appeared in the predictions.

The information he grasped was limited. He only knew the other party would pass through these Civilization Ruins, not even knowing the other party's appearance or species.

So he deployed manpower here early on, but he didn't know if he could find them either.

Although he had already caught six batches of people, he gained nothing. These people were very vigilant. Even if the person he was looking for had actually been caught by him, they definitely wouldn't leak it easily.

He planned to Bring All Over in One Go and test them one by one when the time came; it was just a bit troublesome.

However, the moment he stepped in here, his gaze flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but smile: "I've run into you again. We really have quite the fate."

The crowd was somewhat confused, not knowing who Dragon Sovereign was talking to.

"To be able to see you again is... is my honor." Ron didn't know what Li Yu meant and hadn't rashly spoken up originally.

But after Li Yu took the initiative to speak, he walked out excitedly, his face flushed red, feeling as if he was walking on air.

The others immediately looked horrified. They didn't expect there to be such a figure among their group who actually knew Dragon Sovereign.

Eck subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of disbelief.

How could this guy know Dragon Sovereign!?

And Li Yu was somewhat suspicious at this moment. Looking at Ron, he said: "It couldn't be you, right."

Ron was somewhat confused. He then heard Li Yu continue: "Have you recently felt a Faint, Intermittent Call, that kind of palpitating feeling coming from your heart."

"Huh?" Ron was very dumbfounded, not knowing what Dragon Sovereign was talking about.

"It looks like it shouldn't be you..." Li Yu shook his head in disappointment.

Ron seemed to understand as well. Dragon Sovereign seemed to be looking for someone. After reacting, a streak of Electric Arc seemingly flashed in his mind, and he said in a low voice: "A Faint, Intermittent Call... I seem to have heard this description somewhere before..."

"Hmm?" Li Yu naturally heard his mutterings and cast his gaze over again.

"Hill!" Ron suddenly raised his head and looked at the little kitty not far away.

"It's her?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised.

"Last time you told me, why did Sister Perseus die again? It was because she knew your Boss's secret, right..."

"What was that secret again? The one she told you before she died, saying..." Ron said anxiously.

Hill's eyes were somewhat blank, but she involuntarily followed Ron's words and said: "...He felt an unknown call from the Ancient Starpath, so he had to come here to look for the source of the call..."

In the crowd, Eck's expression changed drastically all of a sudden, while Li Yu couldn't help but grin broadly.
