Chapter 54 Rebirth After Disaster!
Slowly opening his eyes, Duan Ming felt that everything in front of him was a little illusory. He was standing in the void, with stars within reach beside him. The stars and meteorites seemed to have shrunk in proportion, and now he was a giant in this "universe".
"Master."
A voice sounded behind him. Duan Ming turned his head and saw a creature about the same size as himself. It was red all over, and its two small eyes blinked, which was very cute.
"Are you calling me?"
The creature came to Duan Ming in three or two steps, and its head rubbed against Duan Ming's arm, like a clingy spirit.
"Master, don't you recognize me?"
This childlike voice really made Duan Ming a little confused.
Seeing Duan Ming's puzzled look, it actually sat directly at Duan Ming's feet, looking aggrieved.
"Master stands behind me every day, but he still doesn't recognize me. I'm not happy!"
Duan Ming was stunned, and then he realized something and asked subconsciously: "Are you... Fire Rock Beast?"
Yes, this "cute" is Fire Rock Beast, or to be more precise, it is Fire Rock Beast's mental state.
This is the core area of the biological contract system in Duan Ming's mind. Only he and his contracted creatures can appear here. Of course, the premise is that Duan Ming's contracted creatures are intelligent enough.
After listening to Fire Rock Beast's story, Duan Ming looked up at this "universe". He really couldn't believe what he saw.
"You can appear here, which means that you have successfully upgraded?"
Fire Rock Beast looked like he was asking for credit, and he jumped up and threw himself into Duan Ming's arms and started to act coquettishly.
"Master, am I awesome? I am now the strongest contracted creature under the master. In the future, when the master collects other creatures, they must call me big brother!"
The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming's mouth trembled slightly twice.
"Since you have upgraded, why do you have to tell me in this way? Can't you just tell me outside through the biological contract system?"
Hearing Duan Ming's question, the Fire Rock Beast looked a lot more serious, looking around, as if observing whether there were other people eavesdropping.
"Master, it's not safe outside!"
Duan Ming frowned slightly. The dark world outside was indeed full of dangers, but it didn't affect their communication, did it?
"Master, this dark world is called the Dark Realm, and it is one of the most mysterious places in the universe. Here, there is an emperor of the Dark Realm. It is a god-level star beast. It can hear everything we say outside!"
Duan Ming's doubts deepened. Didn't they come to this dark world after being hit by dark matter energy?
As if seeing through Duan Ming's thoughts, the Fire Rock Beast said again.
"Master, this matter is too complicated. I will tell you in detail later. Anyway, we must leave the dark world as soon as possible, otherwise the god-level star beast will wake up and we will all become its food!"
Although Duan Ming has not figured out everything, he understands that there is an enemy in this dark world, an enemy that they cannot fight at all!
"Fire Rock Beast, do you know how to leave?"
The Fire Rock Beast lowered its head, thought for a moment, and gave an answer.
"Master, after I devoured the star beast, I was promoted to level seven. With my current strength, I should be able to try to break through the barrier of the dark world, but I still need your help, Master."
...
Duan Ming, who was lying on the rocking chair, woke up suddenly. Looking at the darkness around him, he was sure that it was not a dream.
Standing up and squatting on the ground, Duan Ming touched the back of the Fire Rock Beast.
"Fire Rock Beast, how do you need us to cooperate with you?"
The Fire Rock Beast growled twice, and then the child-like voice just now appeared in Duan Ming's mind.
"Master, I will gather all my energy at one point and attack the barrier in front. When I open a crack in the barrier, please start the super-time engine and guide me to rush out at full speed!"
Duan Ming understood, stood up and called all his companions.
Everyone gathered together and Duan Ming gave instructions.
"Everyone return to your own development base, fix the development base on the two wings of the Fire Rock Beast, get ready, we leave this damn place!"
Although everyone still didn't understand, they didn't have any doubts. According to Duan Ming's order, everyone went to their positions.
Five minutes later, Duan Ming said to the Fire Rock Beast.
"Let's start."
The huge body of the Fire Rock Beast began to change the moment Duan Ming finished speaking. Its body gradually curled up, and its back arched slightly, as if it was trying its best to breathe.
Duan Ming's palm was placed above the interstellar computer, waiting to start the super-time engine at any time.
The gathering of energy slowly reached the critical point as time went by. The next moment, the Fire Rock Beast opened its mouth wide, and a huge red fireball spewed out of its mouth.
The fireball flew forward along a strange trajectory, and after a few seconds, it hit the dark barrier, and a slight cracking sound was heard.
"Master! Now!"
Duan Ming took a deep breath and decisively pressed the start button of the super-time engine.
"Swoosh!"
The body of the Fire Rock Beast rushed forward rapidly under the impetus of the super-time engine. The energy friction generated by the high-speed advance actually had a tendency to penetrate the ecological maintenance system. Duan Ming's face also had some minor wounds.
Duan Ming clenched his fists tightly, knowing that success or failure depended on this one move!
"Boss! This is too exciting!"
This is more than exciting? It's simply a matter of life and death! At this speed, if the barrier is not broken through smoothly as the Fire Rock Beast said, then Duan Ming and his team will undoubtedly be hit into dust!
As they got closer and closer to the barrier, Duan Ming and others all held their breath.
A huge crash sound came, and the vibration caused by the crash made everyone stagger. In the next moment, they only felt that their bodies and everything around them, like two months ago, solidified in an instant...
I don't know how long it took, when everyone regained their ability to move, in their eyes, this familiar universe is back again!
Cheers rang out in the temporary voice call group, and the interstellar computer also prompted that the network had been restored. Duan Ming was ecstatic.
We are back!
Everyone came to the back of the Fire Rock Beast, hugged each other, and celebrated their survival, but this joy did not last long. The voice of the insect girl made everyone worried.
"Master, Fire Rock Beast, Fire Rock Beast, it seems to be dying..."
Duan Ming's head buzzed. The impact just now was so strong that the pain that Fire Rock Beast endured could be imagined.
"Fire Rock Beast! Answer me Fire Rock Beast!"
It was almost a roar, but Fire Rock Beast did not respond for a long time...
