Protagonist:
Chen Yi
After all the supplies and people entered the Light Gate, the Subway expanded like a giant air-raid shelter. It became so colorful that the Oga Ku people entering for the first time were all dumbfounded.
After a long while, O Xun sighed indescribably: "So this is the royal palace?"
In his heart, he added another sentence: The Oga Ku people's former royal palace was perhaps equally beautiful and extraordinary.
Chen Yi smiled faintly, his expression slightly stiff. The Subway had been running in the Channel for 10 minutes now, an unprecedented length of time; to say he wasn't worried would absolutely be a lie.
He quietly walked to the front of the second Subway car, calling softly to the Light Curtain and the Subway.
No response.
This is truly terrible.
Chen Yi turned his head and discovered the others were all still calm, even chatting and laughing after just finishing being nervous. They probably haven't realized the danger at this moment at all.
"Could it be that the transported supplies are too many?"
Chen Yi thought this, then immediately denied it.
The most he had ever transported was over 400,000 tons of supplies, taking a whole day to move; this time it was merely over 200,000 tons, far from counting as excessive.
"Or does the Subway have a usage limit?" He quickly thought of another trap-like conclusion, scaring himself.
The little lizard climbed up from his shoulder, swaying its head and claws as if appreciating the gorgeous scenery outside.
Chen Yi was completely out of ideas; he still had to find a way to restrain his own wild thoughts.
The scene before his eyes seemed as if nothing had happened, yet as if anything could happen — if something did happen, it would definitely be bad.
This was like a solitary confinement of the spirit; you don't know how long it will last, maybe it'll be over soon, maybe forever, but it won't take long before it drives a person mad.
30 minutes later, the Subway still had no change; the gorgeous scenery around them had turned into a rigid watercolor painting.
"The Subway seems to have stopped." Chen Yi immediately walked to the Light Gate, silently chanting "Open" in his heart, but still nothing happened.
Then another 30 minutes passed.
At this point, even the dullest Martial Arts Hall Student knew what had happened.
They had at least one experience traveling to the West Continent; recalling now, arriving in a few minutes versus not arriving after an hour, there was indeed a significant difference.
"Master." Li Feng, returning for the first time, represented the students as he came before Chen Yi, saying quietly: "Everyone is a bit worried; the situation isn't good."
Chen Yi raised his head and glanced over, saying in a low voice: "You organize the Martial Arts Hall Students now to guard the supplies and captives; no one is allowed to discuss this matter."
"Understood." Li Feng asked nothing, immediately turning back to arrange it.
Militarized management played its role at this moment.
The current Subway was like a submarine that had met with disaster; the sealed environment and unknown fear tested the captain while also testing the crew.
Organizing the students to guard the captives might shift their attention.
In fact, unknowingly, the people traveling to and from the West Continent, including Chen Yi and his Martial Arts Hall Students, had all tempered considerably strong pressure resistance. If they collapsed easily, they would not have been able to survive in the West River Water Fortress where alien races gathered and supplies were scarce.
The Oga Ku people were naturally isolated; they stayed in a corner of the Subway, still guarded by several Combat Skill Level Knights and Divine Art Knights, obediently motionless.
The little lizard suddenly sniffed a scent and climbed down from Chen Yi's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yi grabbed its tail.
"Smells good." The lizard quickly ran into the midst of the Oga Ku people.
Chen Yi naturally circulated Shenjia, only now discovering that on each Oga Ku person there was a thread-like Light Mark, either bright or dim, like ribbons.
"What are these Light Bands?" He directly asked O Xun.
The latter looked blankly and asked: "Where are the Light Bands you speak of?"
"You can't see them?"
O Xun shook his head cautiously. The Oga Ku people all shook their heads along with him.
However, Chen Yi clearly saw the Light Bands flowing.
"Who among you can see them?" He asked the guards.
Yin Sen Guan arrived before O Xun with a stern face, saying: "Shenjia also senses no anomaly."
The little lizard suddenly said: "The Light Bands have the scent of the West Continent."
"You can see them?"
"I can smell them." The little lizard stuck out its tongue, licking along the Light Band marks on the Oga Ku people, like a child eating ice cream.
Yin Sen Guan's scholar's mind instantly activated; he said uncertainly: "My Lord, the Light Bands you speak of — are they some winding, coiling Light Bands covering the whole body, but with no energy reflection?"
He used a little bit of what he learned on Earth.
With his intelligence, reaching the level of an Earthling's middle school was really simple; the key point lay only in whether to believe or not.
O Xun quietly lowered his head.
Yin Sen Guan grabbed his hair with his hand, yanked down his pants in one go, and said: "My Lord, does he have the Dragon's Mark on his body?"
"There seems to be a dragon head at the waist." Right at the ferocious image on the waist.
"You explain." Yin Sen Guan pulled O Xun down to kneel; he actually wasn't completely certain either.
The Oga Ku people were dazed for a moment; shortly after, O Xun lowered his head and said: "We ourselves cannot see it either, but if it truly exists, that is the Dragon Blood Curse. The Dragon Blood Curse is the Dragon God's curse on the Oga Ku people; as long as one is a pure-blooded Oga Ku person, upon gaining the talent for spatial traversal, they simultaneously receive the curse of being unable to perform spatial traversal. Divine Art Knight Sir, I swear I did not know we would be performing spatial traversal, which is why I didn't speak of it."
Chen Yi's expression was extremely ugly as he asked: "How to break the curse?"
O Xun recalled the secrets of that year, saying despondently: "Back then, the Oga Ku Prince wanted to preserve the dynasty's rule through assassination; although he successfully performed the traversal assassination, he was cursed by the Dragon God — once we perform spatial traversal, we will get lost in space, or just be randomly ejected."
He looked around and said quietly: "The traversal power this time is too strong; I have never encountered this before."
Yin Sen Guan immediately thought of the crux and said coldly: "My Lord, kill these Oga Ku Royal Family members, and the curse will resolve itself."
Chen Yi fell silent, looking at the Oga Ku people. These unlucky fellows made not a sound, sitting on the ground as if resigned to their fate.
The extinction of their entire race was like a poison, eroding the steadfastness in their hearts and the vigor in their bodies. Procreation is a driving force imprinted on the DNA of living beings; termination is far more terrifying than death.
"Is there any other way?"
"My Lord!" Yin Sen Guan urged, "Space traversal is fraught with unpredictable danger..."
"If something were to go wrong, it would have happened long ago."
A glimmer of hope rose in O Xun. He had thought Chen Yi would kill him and the others without the slightest hesitation.
Years of decision-making habits prompted O Xun to seize the opportunity: "Dragon Blood can lift the curse. If there is no Dragon Blood, Sub-dragon Blood can also dilute the curse. If our traversal power is strong enough, we can break free of the Dragon God's control."
He had his eye on the little lizard.
The Illusion Dragon unhesitatingly turned into a steel pincer, clamping down hard on O Xun: "You want my blood?"
"Stop fooling around." Chen Yi grabbed its tail, and incidentally used Shenjia to slice a small cut.
Fresh blood flowed along its body onto O Xun's waist, and that Light Mark immediately began to waver.
The colors at the subway window seemed to come alive once more.
Only then did the Illusion Dragon cry out in pain: "You actually believe him?"
"Seems to have some effect." Chen Yi made another small cut. The Illusion Dragon gave up and reverted to its original form, extending its claws to let blood flow onto another Oga Ku clansman.
The shifting patterns on the subway window grew more and more varied, as if there were signs of getting on the right track.
Chen Yi couldn't help thinking that the so-called Dragon God's curse seemed to be a force tugging at the Magic Subway. This aroused considerable interest in him toward the Dragon God, who existed only in legend.
The subway's Second Carriage finally flickered again.
"You stay here." Chen Yi stopped the others and stepped inside himself.
The fourth section of the Second Carriage flashed two long rows of choices.
Concealment!
Acceleration!
The images on the subway window scrolled extremely slowly. Chen Yi guessed that these two choices were the ways to escape the predicament.
Perhaps this is an opportunity!
With something like the Magic Subway, any change is worth anticipating, just like an extremely advanced warship — any alteration could change the operating pattern of the entire fleet, even the nation.
"Concealment!" Chen Yi pressed down heavily.
The window kept flickering, like a neurotic official Television Station.
Before he could figure it out, the subway smoothly arrived at Jiangning.
"Is it over?" Li Feng stood in a corner, peering outside, looking a bit nervous.
The Illusion Dragon crawled out first, angrily eating four or five construction rebars before letting out a loud burp and saying with sleepy eyes: "Next time you draw my blood, I'll demand gold."
Chen Yi gave it a slap. Turning back, he saw hundreds of people and dozens of mechanical units had already surged into the subway. The conveyor belts on the Ground were thick and wide, all used to transport supplies.
He wanted to figure out what "Concealment" was, so he kept waiting at the subway entrance until all the supplies were unloaded.
At this moment, two lines of small characters flashed before the subway gate:
Concealment.
Leave.
Chen Yi hesitated slightly, then naturally chose "Concealment." The subway actually gave a "whoosh" and leapt into his hand.
The white, transparent Magic Subway, like a model the width of a thumb, lay quietly in Chen Yi's palm.
Looking back, everyone on this level had left. Looking down again, the subway was still in his hand, and small characters on the car window read: "Next departure time: 22:30."
"Can use the subway in other places now." Whatever the case, this was a pleasant surprise.
Chen Yi left the busy Central Storage Area and secretly ordered Yin Senjin to "Walk in the Void" to test the Light Curtain's range.
However, no matter where he appeared carrying the "Concealment" subway, the Light Curtain's range seemed unchanged.
"A 200-kilometer range is a bit small now." Thinking this, Chen Yi returned to the Central Storage Area. Upon seeing the ground full of Oga Ku people again, the subway hanging around his neck suddenly shook.
Countless Light Marks were pulled straight out of the Oga Ku people and absorbed into the subway. The latter was like an immature black hole, making the whole Room seem like it had a power outage for 10 seconds.
"The curse? Gone?" A group of Oga Ku people unconsciously stood up, beginning to examine the bodies that had plagued their clan for a thousand years.
That suppressed excitement was like a vigorous volcano.
Yin Sen Guan and Yin Senyong quietly gathered Shenjia, ready to unleash large-scale killing Divine Arts at any moment.
The Oga Ku people also revealed inscrutable expressions.
Only Chen Yi discovered with delighted surprise that the subway displayed the prompt "Light Curtain range expanded by one fold," and when he casually took a Scroll from his Space Ring and threw it in, the subway pocketed that too.
This thing can haul cargo everywhere from now on — that's even better news than the Light Curtain expanding.
The Oga Ku people across from him all saw Chen Yi's smiling face, which in their eyes was undoubtedly a symbol of friendliness. O Xun instantly ended his inner struggle and knelt prostrate on the ground.
With a few "clatters," all 20 members of the Oga Ku Royal Family knelt down.
As for the 300 non-pureblood Oga Ku people, they stupidly flopped down, completely unaware of what had happened.
