440: Emerald Dragon Star

After understanding the detailed situation of Emerald Dragon Star, Yang Dian didn't delay any longer. He directly grabbed the Space-Time Dragon, which was standing motionless on the counter, treating itself as a crystal ornament, then took Big Black Cat and opened a passage to Emerald Dragon Star.

“Awoo~”

When Yang Dian first grabbed him, the Little Milk Dragon cried out a few times in a childish voice.

But as the passage opened and Yang Dian stepped into the 99th spatial interlayer of Emerald Dragon Star, the Little Milk Dragon's cries immediately caught in his throat, and his eyes widened.

“Awoo?”

As the questioning cry just faded, Big Black Cat also began to translate:

“Human, the little guy is asking which spatial interlayer this is. Its Legacy memory has no information about this particular spatial interlayer.”

After finishing the translation, he looked at the Little Milk Dragon, who was standing upright on Yang Dian’s shoulder, craning his neck to look around, and said enviously:

“Human, I want to sit on your shoulder too.”

Without waiting for Yang Dian to respond, he kicked off with his hind legs and pounced at Yang Dian like a large black rat.

Yang Dian, holding the Big Black Cat that was like a small leopard, was a bit speechless:

“You don’t even look at how big you are now.”

After petting the somewhat unhappy Big Black Cat a couple of times, Yang Dian took a step forward.

As his step landed and his body arrived in the 98th spatial interlayer, Yang Dian’s height also grew by ten centimeters.

Another step, another spatial interlayer crossed, and his height grew by another ten centimeters.

After taking 99 steps, when his feet landed on the soil of Emerald Dragon Star, Yang Dian’s physique had grown to over 10 meters tall, becoming a small giant, naked from the waist up, revealing his strong pectoral muscles.

Why a small giant?

Because on Emerald Dragon Star, there are indeed Giant Race members whose height can reach twenty to thirty meters, or even thirty to fifty meters, after adulthood.

Ten meters tall, in the Giant Race, really is just a teenager.

Shaking his pectoral muscles and spreading his latissimus dorsi, which seemed like they could be used as wings, Yang Dian couldn't help but exclaim.

“Clayton’s Gigantification Talent is truly useful.”

Just placed on Yang Dian’s shoulder, Big Black Cat, who had shrunk back to the size of a kitten in comparison, stood upright, hugging Yang Dian’s neck, and said with an amazed expression:

“Human, how did you get so big? So awesome~”

After an exclamation, he rubbed against Yang Dian’s neck again:

“Human, Little Black Cat wants to get this big too. Make Little Black Cat this big.”

Yang Dian reached out and stroked Little Black Cat’s head a couple of times:

“If you want to grow big, you have to work hard at martial arts yourself.”

Little Black Cat immediately slumped:

“Human, but practicing martial arts is so hard. I still haven’t sensed Qi and blood yet.”

So, while explaining the Cultivation Technique to Little Black Cat, Yang Dian walked out of the nearly hundred-meter-tall primeval forest and arrived at a wide road paved with an unknown material.

The road was bustling with countless travelers.

Warriors in medieval armor riding fantasy mounts... Elves in magic robes sitting on unicorns... Humans either carrying shoulder poles or driving carriages... Dwarves with red noses, big beards, stout builds, and rough voices... Fairies with colorful wings on their backs, beautiful and fond of playing tricks... Orcs warriors riding Centaur... Seeing scenes that only exist in a fantasy world, Yang Dian couldn't help but feel a sense of dreamlike unreality.

What you see in a video is, after all, different from experiencing it firsthand.

The real world is far more colorful than what is seen in videos.

‘I wonder what kind of magnificent worlds I will encounter in the future.’

Amidst his thoughts, Yang Dian, under the curious gaze of a few people, walked into the crowd.

As nano-electronic bugs fell from his spatial ring, Zero synchronized all captured information to Earth, and also began to translate the whispers of the surrounding Human Race and Elves.

“Alas, how did a small giant come out of the forest? Don’t the Giant Race all stay in the Giant Stone Mountains? How could a giant leave the Giant Stone Mountains alone, and an underage small giant at that.”

“Perhaps he also came for the Decade Sea Race Trade Fair. Giants also need a lot of resources to grow stronger, and the resources in the Giant Stone Mountains are almost used up by them. It’s normal for a small giant to sneak out.”

“Have you heard? The Deep Sea Race has captured the Mermaid Princess, the ninth princess of the Mermaid Race, and they will auction her at this trade fair.”

“The ninth Mermaid Princess? That Mermaid Princess, Ariel, known as the Pearl of the Ocean, for whom even deities would cast their gaze?”

“Yes, it’s her. It’s a pity I don’t even have the qualifications to enter the auction house, otherwise I’d really want to see what the Pearl of the Ocean looks like.”

“Wick, do you want to pull off a big one? Tie up the small giant and sell him to the slave market?”

“Are you crazy? The last slave-catching group that dared to capture and sell underage giants, along with the nobles behind them, were wiped off the face of the earth by the enraged Giant King. If you want to die, don’t drag me along!”

“What a pity, an underage small giant is worth at least a million dragon gold. If we could catch one, we wouldn’t have to worry for generations.”

“Alas, look at that small giant’s shoulder, isn’t there something there?”

“I saw it early, it’s just a black cat. I didn’t expect giants to have a habit of keeping cats. Didn’t they say that giants have sensitive noses and can’t stand the smell of other creatures’ excrement?”

“No, I’m not talking about the cat on his left shoulder. I’m talking about that thing on his right shoulder!”

“Right shoulder?” The Human Race man with a goatee and sharp eyes stood on tiptoes and glanced at Yang Dian’s shoulder:

“There’s nothing on his right shoulder.”

The short, stout Human Race man who started the topic glanced at Yang Dian’s right shoulder, then rubbed his eyes, and looked at Yang Dian’s right shoulder again.

“That’s strange, how did it disappear?”

“What disappeared?”

“I just saw a palm-sized silver-white young Dragon on his shoulder!”

“Young Dragon? Are you sure?”

“Shhh~~~, speak softly, don’t let others hear.”

“Alright, Will, I’ll speak softly. What did you just say? You saw a young Dragon on that small giant?”

“I’m not sure if I was just imagining things from thinking about young Dragons too much.”

“Whether you were imagining things or not, we need to inform the boss.”

“We cannot miss any opportunity to acquire a young Dragon, even if that young Dragon is in the hands of the Giant Race...”

Listening to the various conversations translated by Zero, Yang Dian subtly glanced around.

He hadn't expected that merely by showing his face on the roadside as a member of the Giant Race, he would be targeted by dozens of groups of people.

Some merchant teams wanted to befriend him, using him to open the door to the Giant Race and do business with them.

Some wanted to capture him and sell him in the black market.

Others had set their sights on the Little Black Cat and the Space-Time Dragon cub on his shoulder, wanting to take him down for a no-cost transaction.

“The people on Emerald Dragon Star are truly simple, unadorned, and hospitable~”

Amidst his thoughts, Yang Dian followed the main road up a small hill.

Gazing into the distance, at the end of the road, a fantastic city, appearing to be carved entirely from blue gemstones, came into his view.
