106: This boss's neck can actually explode!

Just as Lin Mo was invigorated by this unexpected joy, the world chat channel, which had been silent all night, once again boiled over like a fish pond hit by a depth charge.

【Bystander B is not B: Extra! Extra! Something big has happened in the ‘Dragon Bone Volcano’ sea area at coordinates (1245, -833)! There’s a dragon! A giant dragon covered in crystals!】

【I Just Want to Forge Iron: Don’t be so dramatic, upstairs. In this day and age, if there aren’t a few dragon-serpent monsters in the sea, it wouldn’t even be called an apocalypse.】

【Bystander B is not B: It’s different! This time it’s completely different! That thing is like a flying crystal mountain! The most outrageous part is, its neck explodes! It really explodes!】

【King of Scavengers: What do you mean? Its neck explodes? Do you think it’s a self-destructing truck that came to life?】

【Bystander B is not B: Why would I lie to you all! Our ‘Black Reef’ team wanted to collect some volcanic crystals there, and we saw it from a distance! The dragon’s neck had pulsating sacs, and then with a ‘whoosh’, it shot out a red crystal block as big as a small house! That crystal block could even turn corners! It chased an unwitting sea beast and slammed into it, and with a ‘boom’, it instantly exploded into a sea of fire! Not even ash was left! It was absolutely terrifying!】

【I Just Want to Farm: Hiss… Sounds even more ferocious than that ‘Lie Hou’ from yesterday. At least for that one, the official channels issued a warning. This one appeared silently today, could it be an even higher-level BOSS?】

【Old Wang’s Neighbor Taishan: Don’t ask, just run! Our ‘Fury’ team has already taken a detour. That sea area is now a death zone! Whoever goes there dies!】

Panic and despair once again enveloped the entire world channel.

However, on the Bridge of the Natural Selection, the atmosphere was completely different.

“A dragon whose neck explodes?”

Gu Zhixia had just finished her morning exercise and walked into the Bridge, covered in sweat, just in time to see the chat logs on the screen.

In her beautiful phoenix eyes, there was no trace of fear; instead, they sparkled with the same excitement a tech enthusiast shows when seeing a new gadget.

She stretched out her finger and drew an arc in the air, simulating a trajectory.

“It sounds like a mobile floating cannon platform.”

“If we can predict its firing trajectory, or directly attack the ‘ammunition depot’ on its neck, we might be able to make it blow itself up.”

“Brother Mo, Big Sister, perhaps we shouldn’t go…”

Gu Nianqiu walked in with the freshly made breakfast, her Little Girl’s face filled with worry.

“Last time, that big guy crashed into the ship so hard, I… I’m scared…”

Lin Mo did not answer immediately.

He brought up the sea chart and marked the coordinates of the “Dragon Bone Volcano”.

A distance of several thousand kilometers.

If they traveled at a regular speed, it would take at least a day and a night.

But now… his gaze swept over the desperate chat logs, and a curve of everything-under-control appeared at the corner of his mouth.

That was not an unbeatable monster.

That was a newly spawned, super airdrop box, loaded with mythical materials and orange cores.

More importantly, it was the perfect “delivery package” that could allow Fafnir to complete its final evolution.

“Nianqiu.”

Lin Mo turned around, looking at the Little Girl’s nervous face, his tone calm but with an undeniable confidence.

“We are not going on an adventure.”

His voice paused, then he said, word by word, clearly:

“We are going to pick up a delivery.”

He turned and sat back in the commander’s chair, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

“Zhi Xia, prepare for sortie. Nianqiu, put the breakfast down and hold on tight.”

His voice, delivered through the captain’s authority, echoed in every corner of the warship.

“Install the ‘Space warp engine Module’!”

“Set course, target, Dragon Bone Volcano!”

“Warp, activate!”

Boom—!!!

The massive black hull did not activate its warp engine as usual.

Instead, the space around the hull began to violently twist and fold in a way visible to the naked eye!

Endless light converged from all directions, encasing the entire Natural Selection in a brilliant cocoon of light.

Inside the Bridge, the view outside the portholes had completely disappeared.

It had transformed into a shimmering, indescribably magnificent tunnel of flowing light.

“Wow—!”

Gu Nianqiu exclaimed, tightly hugging the fixed pillar beside her, her big eyes filled with shock and novelty, as if she were in the most beautiful dream.

Gu Zhixia also instinctively grabbed the railing, her body slightly tensed by the immense power that tore through space.

She felt the terrifying speed of the warship as it traversed the spatial interlayers, and an unprecedented brilliance erupted in her eyes.

This was power!

This was the power that only gods possessed!

The next second.

The light dissipated.

The distorted space returned to stability.

The scene outside the window had completely changed.

It was no longer a clear blue sky and a calm sea.

Instead, it was a dark red, oppressive sky, stained by volcanic ash.

The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and in the distance, giant active volcanoes continuously spewed out crimson lava, like wounds on the earth, silently flowing with hot blood.

And in the very center of that apocalyptic scene.
