250: A Gift for the Green Python, Norwegian Wood

“Listening is one thing, but you still have to be locked up.”

After Lan Caier took her seat in the back of the sky-combat aircraft, Yang Dian continued, “Once we arrive, you’ll honestly confess everything. If you haven’t committed any crimes, the organization won’t keep you locked up for too long.”

At this point, Yang Dian added, “Besides that, you can also consider whether or not you want to join the organization.”

“Currently, there aren’t many capable people in the organization, so if you join now, you’ll receive good treatment.”

“But it might not be so good in the future.”

Lan Caier turned her head towards the cabin window and shook her head slightly: “I didn’t like dealing with all the Family matters, which is why I ran off to wander the seas alone.”

“What’s the difference between joining the organization and returning to my Family?”

“I still prefer to be free and independent.”

“But from what you’re saying, even if I haven’t committed any crimes in the past, you’re still going to detain me?”

Yang Dian smiled: “Who said you haven’t committed any crimes?”

“Don’t forget that not long ago, you conspired with Li Linwu and those others to attack me.”

“Even though it wasn’t successful, you definitely can’t escape a charge of attempted murder or attempted kidnapping.”

“Plus, you clearly knew my special identity, yet you still conspired with others to try and harm me.”

“So, it wouldn’t be too difficult to charge you with treason or something similar.”

“All things considered, it probably won’t be a death sentence, nor will it be life imprisonment.”

“But locking you up for ten or twenty years shouldn’t be a problem.”

At this point, Yang Dian turned to look at Lan Caier, whose eyes were gradually becoming dull: “Of course, you can also choose to join the organization and atone for your crimes by rendering meritorious service.”

“Or, if you disclose some of the things your Family has done that are detrimental to the country and the people, you can also strive for a reduced sentence…”

Time quickly passed as Lan Caier struggled with her inner conflict.

Almost in an instant, the sky-combat aircraft arrived over Qinghai Lake again.

This time, before the circular passage in the center of the lake opened, the Green Python, sensing the scent, came to the side of the aircraft and licked the hatch twice.

Looking at the Green Python’s vertical pupils, full of anticipation, Yang Dian smiled slightly and nodded to Liu Wei, who had turned his head.

Then the cabin door opened, and under the Green Python's expectant gaze, Yang Dian pulled out the colorful snake bone, which had already become a rare treasure, from his spatial ring.

The Green Python licked the colorful snake bone rare treasure, then furrowed its snake face in a human-like manner, looking at Yang Dian with a strange expression.

“This good thing was specifically found for you.”

After speaking, Yang Dian didn't wait for the Green Python's reaction and directly threw the colorful snake bone deep into its throat.

Then he even actively used Qi and blood to knead its muscles, helping it make a swallowing motion, allowing the snake bone to fall smoothly into its stomach.

The Green Python, unable to react in time, blinked its eyes and flicked its tongue.

Then its snake scales opened and closed, and a large amount of white smoke surged out from the gaps between the scales, instantly obscuring the area around the aircraft so completely that one couldn't see their own hand.

The next moment, Yang Dian heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water again, and then the Green Python, having entered the water, disappeared from his perception like an arrow.

Shortly after the white mist dissipated, Yang Dian, remembering something, looked at Liu Wei: “I remember there are two giant pythons in Qinghai Lake, right?”

“Little Green is a male python, is the other one, Little Black, a male or a female python?”

“Little Black is a female python.”

Yang Dian exhaled: “Good, good…”

Facing Liu Wei’s strange gaze, he stiffened his neck and said: “I’m doing this for Little Green’s own good.”

“Other pythons wish they could eat a rare treasure but can’t.”

“What’s wrong with it having a strong after-effect?…”

While joking, Lan Caier was sent into the Extraordinary Prison.

After leaving the colorful sunflower and Li Linwu's corpse, Yang Dian met Liu Wei's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said, “To Norway.”

Liu Wei blinked and started the aircraft.

After leaving Qinghai Lake and the aircraft entered cruising speed, he asked curiously, “Why are we suddenly going so far?” After becoming familiar with Yang Dian, he was no longer as taciturn as before: “I heard you were going to use ‘Earth's Favor’ to search for heaven and earth treasures and rare treasures.”

“Even if we have to go to other countries, wouldn’t it be better to go to neighboring countries, like Dongying?”

Yang Dian smiled: “I’ll go to Dongying sooner or later.”

“And I won’t leave any wild resources for Dongying, including but not limited to rare treasures and rare items.”

“As for going to Norway, there’s naturally a reason.”

“There’s a mutated creature there with very special abilities, and I need to bring it back.”

At this point, Yang Dian, remembering something, urged, “Brother Wei, let’s go into extreme speed mode.”

“I’m afraid something bad might happen if we arrive late.”

Liu Wei nodded, pushed the joystick, and then gave instructions to the sky-combat aircraft: “Enter extreme speed mode.”

As his voice fell, several sonic boom clouds suddenly appeared in the clear, cloudless sky.

Yang Dian, pressed into his seat by the inertia, watched the fleeting mountains and white clouds below, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.

‘I wonder how long it will be until I can possess this kind of speed…’

The sky-combat aircraft in extreme speed mode was very fast, extremely fast.

Its speed reached Mach 23 per second.

It's important to know that the Earth's equator is only a little over 40,000 kilometers long.

At full speed, the sky-combat aircraft would only need about 80 minutes to circle the Earth's equator.

‘This really is global flight…’

Amidst his thoughts, the sky-combat aircraft, having exited extreme speed mode, had already hovered above a somewhat silent valley under Yang Dian's guidance.

Seeing Liu Wei about to descend the aircraft, Yang Dian quickly called out to stop him: “Brother Wei, don’t descend, I’ll get off right here.”

Liu Wei turned his head helplessly: “This is an aircraft! A sky-combat aircraft! Not some car.”

Yang Dian chuckled: “It’s almost the same, almost the same…”

“Riding an aircraft is like riding a car; both can take me to my destination in ten or twenty minutes, not much difference.”

Liu Wei smiled helplessly: “You…”

After laughing, he gestured to Yang Dian, who was already suspended outside the aircraft: “Be careful.”

Yang Dian returned the gesture: “Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong…”

After watching the aircraft fly a distance and disappear into the night, Yang Dian immediately frowned, looking at the dark valley below.

The night in Norway was not dark.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars twinkled.

Silver-white light fell from the heavens, draping this country, largely untouched by modern technology, in a fairytale veil.

Only that valley, whose name was unknown but was known to be in the Lær Valley, gave off a sense of eerie silence and dread.

Moonlight and starlight that fell there would be directly swallowed by the darkness.

It was as if something ominous was brewing there, ready to erupt at any moment.

“So, despite rushing, I still arrived late?”

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian descended outside the valley, guided by the moonlight and starlight.

In the darkness, a mournful mooing sound of deer seemed to rise, approaching his location.
