Chapter 687: 684, Sky Dragon and little Pikachu_1
Following the activation of the teleportation device, Sky Dragon felt an instant loss of gravity, falling uncontrollably “downwards” just like when she used to parachute.
She found herself in a tunnel entirely silver, lined with multi-colored “murals”.
However, Sky Dragon couldn’t make out these images.
At this terrifying speed, far beyond freefall, all the colors in her vision were stretched into rays of light, making the inside of the tunnel kaleidoscopic.
Her thoughts were completely frozen under this horrific acceleration, gradually ceasing to function.
She didn’t know how much time had passed.
A year seemed to have passed, or it felt like just a blink of an eye.
Once Sky Dragon’s thoughts returned, she realized she was in an odd forest, surrounded entirely by blue-black trees.
The ground beneath her feet was covered with thick leaves, the surroundings filled with quiet, secluded woods, and looking up, she could see mottled sunlight filtering down through gaps between the branches.
The faint roaring of an unknown creature could be heard from a distance.
These signs suggested that her environment was unsafe.
However, seeing the forest around her, Sky Dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, it’s not a Skuru town,” she thought. If that was the case, then trouble would be ahead!
Arriving at this strange place, Sky Dragon felt far from lost.
The chill sensation of the Spiritual Stabilizer brought her to her senses, she sprang into action as soon as she arrived.
“Satchel… still here. Weapons, Space Ring, equipment… all intact.”
She carefully checked herself and found nothing missing after the teleportation.
Most importantly, the bag that Su Yu had given her, housing 200 Space Cores, was still tightly attached to her side.
“I should focus on the task that Nemesis gave me first, the rest can wait.”
Sky Dragon nodded, activated the disguise skill to alter her appearance to a Skuru, and then bounded onto the crown of a nearby towering tree.
According to Su Yu’s plan, she should first head to Beak Country to deliver the Space Cores to Cindy Doppler, and then hunt Warcraft on the Wild Continent.
Her priority now was to figure out her location before thinking about how to get to Beak Country.
Once on the tree crown, Sky Dragon used the Eagle Eye Skill to survey the skies and her surroundings.
The sky here was mostly light blue, occasionally tinged with a hint of light purple.
This hint of purple indicated her proximity to the Lun Kete Alliance.
All around, there was an endless expanse of forest, and nearby hills were entirely covered with verdant vegetation.
After taking a look from the tree crown, Sky Dragon set her sights on one direction.
In that direction, about 3 kilometers away, there were signs of small Warcraft activity.
She could use the Taming Pet skill, unique to her archer profession, to tame a small Warcraft and get detailed information about the area from it.
No sooner thought than done.
Sky Dragon dropped from the treetops like a gust of wind and instantly disappeared from sight.
Three minutes later, Sky Dragon neared her target, the group of small Warcraft.
Only when she got closer did she realize they were a group of small yellow electric mice.
Normally, the strength of these mice is low. The strongest female mouse in this group of ten in front of Sky Dragon was of only the third level, while the majority were of the second tier.
At this moment the yellow electric mice were playfully scampering and frolicking in the forest, completely oblivious to the fact that an alien creature had already zeroed in on them from the shadows of the trees.
When she got within 100 meters of the electric mice, Sky Dragon stopped and used the Taming Beast skill on the third-tier electric mouse, the strongest one.
With her casting of the spell, a red “heart” appeared on the mouse’s forehead.
Then, it went into a daze, uncontrollably charging towards her.
“Pika pika!” Sensing the abnormality of their leader, the other mice chattered anxiously.
However their cries were to no effect.
Like a flash of yellow lightning, the mouse dashed towards Sky Dragon. By the time it was halfway there, it had already been completely tamed by her, becoming her new pet.
Sky Dragon, after all, was a level-six warrior. Her Beast Taming skill had a high success rate even when taming fifth-level Warcraft, let alone this third-level electric mouse?
The new pet, the “Third-Level Electric Mouse”, came to Sky Dragon, hopping and bobbing, looked up at its new master with a cute gaze.
“Pika pika~” It wagged its tail, attempting to communicate with its owner.
“Pika pika!” the distressed cries of the second-tier electric mice were heard from 50 meters behind it.
The second-tier mice, coming up behind, found their leader under the spell of a Skuru. What were they to do!
Sky Dragon ignored the few electric mice that came afterward.
“So cute!” She squatted down and stroked the third-tier mouse’s hair, then took out a handful of walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts to feed it.
The electric mouse species on Skru Star were herbivores, exhibiting an extraordinary love for protein-rich nuts!
Delighted with the feeding, it held the nuts and ate heartily, its eyes seemingly pleading, “More! More!”
Sky Dragon, spoiling it, tossed it another large handful of nuts.
All the while, she didn’t forget her essential purpose.
She took out a Skru Star world map from the Space Ring, unfolding it in front of the mouse, “Sweetie, look at this map. Where are we right now?”
Being a Warcraft, the third-level electric mouse was wise enough to understand some aspects of a map, it even vaguely understood some Skuru text.
Once the map was laid out, the mouse ran and hopped across it, its small eyes diligently scanning the map.
“Pika pika~” It stopped over a point on the map, looked at Sky Dragon confidently, as if affirming, “We are here, I guarantee it!”
Watching the spot where the mouse stood, Sky Dragon contemplated and nodded, “The edge of the Wild Continent, huh? This position seems reliable.”
According to the mouse’s guidance, she now stood on the edge of the Wild Continent, very close to the border of Lun Kete Alliance.
This confirmed what Sky Dragon had observed earlier.
When she saw the hint of light purple in the sky, she knew that they weren’t too far from the Lun Kete Alliance, and now it came to fruition!
The place indicated by the yellow electric mouse was likely correct.
“Alright, go back to your clan! Consider the nuts your reward.”
Sky Dragon put the map back into the Space Ring and simultaneously released the master-servant bond with the yellow mouse.
Although she’d have liked a cute pet like it.
Yet, this pet was the leader of a clan. Taking it would result in the collapse of the fragile group.
Sky Dragon bid the mouse goodbye and vanished into the vast forest, making her way in the direction of Beak Country.
