"Dragon Wing Device?" Xue Jing muttered.
Mountain Demon, with a sense of pride, said, "This is an Alien Implant made from the Core Organ of a Dragon Breed."
"You know about the Dragon Breed, right? It's a very special type of creature within the Intersecting Boundaries."
Xue Jing nodded.
The Secret Medicine he was now taking daily often used materials sourced from Dragon Breeds.
However, information about the Intersecting Boundaries was always shrouded in mystery. He couldn't find anything online, and he didn't know what exactly a Dragon Breed was like.
"The most significant characteristic of Dragon Breeds is their ability to fly," Mountain Demon said, looking towards the captain who was gradually approaching, now turning from a mere dot into a distinct human form.
"All Dragon Breeds possess incredible flying abilities without exception, even those several tens of meters long and weighing hundreds to thousands of tons. They all manage to fly."
"Flying for them is as natural as breathing, without any energy cost. They can stay perpetually in the sky, even sleep there, completely unaffected by gravity."
"Based on years of research on Dragon Breeds, we've discovered that they can fly because they inherently possess an odd 'Anti-Gravity Biological Field.'"
The woman in the sky had now arrived above Xue Jing and was slowly descending.
Mountain Demon, looking up at her, said, "The Dragon Wing Device is made using the Core Organ of a Dragon Breed that possesses an 'Anti-Gravity Biological Field.' Once implanted into the human spine and connected to the nerves, it grants the ability to fly."
"It's the best-selling Alien Implant from South Heaven Heavy Industries, highly acclaimed without competition."
At this moment, the woman also gradually landed in front of them.
Xue Jing glanced at her appearance.
She looked average, with sharp eyes, appearing to be in her late twenties with a blade-shaped scar by her eye. Her black tactical suit, designed for easy access, was laden with various shaped blades everywhere.
"You can call me 'Void Blade'."
The woman introduced herself in a calm tone.
"We are from the 'Emergency Management Special Agency for Abnormal Disasters' under the jurisdiction of the Special Duty Department, the White Crow Task Force, specifically dealing with abnormal incidents related to the Intersecting Boundaries."
She extended her right hand.
"I am the captain of the White Crow Task Force 838, and the gorilla next to me is a team member."
Mountain Demon: "Hey."
Xue Jing also extended his right hand and shook hers, saying, "So you're inviting me to join this 'White Crow Task Force'? Why?"
Void Blade said, "You are very talented...that monster you killed a few days ago, did you know its origins?"
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "Is it a creature from the Intersecting Boundaries?"
"Yes, but also not really."
As Void Blade spoke, she extended her right hand, tapping a few times on a silver bracelet on her wrist, which immediately lit up and projected a blue light, forming a 3D holographic image that slowly rotated in the air.
The image displayed a creature with a human torso, legs, and six insectoid legs, exactly the Cockroach Monster that Xue Jing had killed.
"We've examined the creature's body, and it indeed contains some elements unique to Intersecting Boundaries creatures, such as—Core Organs."
She manipulated the holographic image with her other hand, enlarging the Cockroach Monster's body, and then swiped her finger to slice open the area below the throat of the Cockroach Monster, revealing its interior cross-section.
Inside it, numerous nerve pathways converged around a center that was a soft-looking sphere.
Seeing this, something clicked in Xue Jing's mind.
He had reached into the body of the Cockroach Monster, and it seemed he had grabbed something—probably this.
"This is a Core Organ, something every creature from the Intersecting Boundaries has inside, though its form varies—like a heart, a brain...or even limbs, nails, even skin."
"The Core Organ is the source of the Intersecting Boundaries creatures' special powers. For example, this Cockroach's incredible burst strength and speed actually come from the energy supplied by this Core Organ. Otherwise, with such a large body but an insect-like structure internally, even breathing oxygen would be a problem, let alone anything else."
Xue Jing puzzled, said, "Since it has a Core Organ, it's clearly a creature from the Intersecting Boundaries. Why then say 'it could also be said not to be'?"
Void Blade waved her hand, dispersing the Cockroach Monster's holographic image.
Then she tapped a few more times on her bracelet and a new holographic image appeared in the air.
It was a continuously squirming creature that resembled a human brain in form but without the wrinkles, a peculiar insect.
"This creature is called 'Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother.'"
"It's from the Intersecting Boundaries site F056, known as 'Rotten Flesh Lake.'"
Void Blade said softly, "Its danger level rating peaks at 6.2..."
Xue Jing waved his hand, "Hold on, what exactly is a danger level?"
Void Blade: "..."
"Don't they teach you this at the Dojos in the Outer Ring?"
She seemed a bit incredulous.
"Mountain Demon, give me the combat data from your fight with him." Void Blade turned her head and called out to Mountain Demon.
Mountain Demon reluctantly said, "I'm not a gorilla..."
He touched something behind his ear, performing some operation unknown to us, and Void Blade did the same.
After a while, Void Blade looked somewhat surprised and said to Xue Jing, "Oh? Your current danger level rating has already reached between 2.9 and 3.1."
Xue Jing shrugged, "I don't understand."
"The danger level is a rating system summarized by a doctor in Inner Ring City who is passionate about evaluating combat strength."
