On the screen, Lan Xuanyu saw a sturdy triceratops Proto Dragon with a horn on its head spewing out rays of golden light. The golden light would grow larger in the air before transforming into metal and attacking. It was similar to the attack of the flying Proto Dragon when their spacecraft landed.
This type of metal javelin not only had a strong penetrating power, but it was also very powerful. When attacked, it would explode and release a strong metal storm.
Those mechas cooperated very well and covered each other. They used their long-range firepower to cover those Proto Dragons and exhaust them. It was obvious that they were testing the waters.
From this, Lan Xuanyu could tell that this was the first time these people came to Planet Proto Dragon, and they were not better informed than them.
This meant that in this battle, they had to test the strength of the Proto Dragons. And with their testing, Lan Xuanyu and his team only had to observe from the side and didn't even have to take the risk to collect a lot of information. Why should he ?
Lan Xuanyu brought his team up a hill and ordered them to rest for the time being before he contacted Liu Feng again.
"Were you in danger when you lured the Proto Dragon?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Liu Feng said, "It was fine. These Proto Dragons aren't fast and just like what was shown in the data, they have low intelligence. Although their attack power is strong, they don't have many tricks up their sleeves. Also, I didn't need to attack them. As long as I appear in their field of vision, they will immediately charge at me and try to attack me. When I lured them near the mecha pilots, they discovered a bigger target and abandoned me. En, they have already killed a Proto Dragon. They really have a strong reaction to heat energy. Soul rays are quite effective at killing, but they still need to attack multiple times before they can break through their defense."
"The second one is dead too. There's only one left, the one I led over. From the looks of it, these Proto Dragons are equivalent to ordinary 100-year soul beasts and aren't considered strong. There's a larger one that is barely at the 1,000-year level. But in the process of fighting, they are clearly able to use the metal element on Dragon Source Planet to assist them and greatly increase their attack power."
Lan Xuanyu said, "Alright, I understand. Continue following those mechas and mark their position. We will follow behind."Ten minutes later, Lan Xuanyu and his classmates saw the three gigantic Proto Dragons' corpses.
Two of the Proto Dragons were about four meters long and the other one was over six meters long. It should be the larger one that Liu Feng mentioned.
"The four-meter long one is about a rank 2 Proto Dragon, while the six-meter one is about a rank 3 Proto Dragon." Lan Xuanyu quickly came to a conclusion based on the information he obtained.
"Yuge, check the corpses of these Proto Dragons." Lan Xuanyu called Tang Yuge over.
Tang Yuge squatted down next to the Proto Dragon and placed a hand on its body. A faint metallic luster blossomed around her and connected her hand to the Proto Dragon's body.
After a moment, Tang Yuge narrowed her eyes and frowned. "It's a little strange."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "What's weird?"
Tang Yuge pointed at the large hole in the Proto Dragon's head and said, "The Dragon Source Crystal should be in the head. It should be their energy core. However, after losing the Dragon Source Crystal, the entire body of this Proto Dragon has turned into metal. So, you can treat the current Proto Dragon as metal after being carved. This isn't a dead life form at all, but a large piece of Dragon Source Ore."
"En?" Lan Xuanyu's heart stirred.
"In other words, the corpses of these Proto Dragons have become Dragon Source Gold? Can I interpret it this way?"
Tang Yuge nodded and said, "Yes, but there are a lot of impurities in the metal and it needs to be purified before it can be considered a real rare metal. The impurities take up about 40% of the metal and only 60% can be refined into ordinary Dragon Source Ore. Through forging, the effect will be even better. This Dragon Source Ore is a very pure metal element and has a strong affinity with them. It is considered a pretty good rare metal."
As she spoke, her palm turned fiery red and the surface of the Proto Dragon corpse started to melt.
"But this Dragon Source Ore seems to be very afraid of heat energy. This thing can't be used for building a mecha, right? No wonder the information given by the Sky Fighter Division only said that they are suitable for creating the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit unit," Tang Yuge said.
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head slightly and touched the corpses of the three Proto Dragons into his Ring of Fate. These were rare metals. Although there were many impurities, they weren't in small quantities ! These three Proto Dragons weighed several tons. It should be enough to refine a few hundred kilograms of rare metals.
Lan Xuanyu didn't know why, but after listening to Tang Yuge's explanation, he felt that it was a little strange. If the Dragon Source Crystals were purely energy cores, how did they provide these Proto Dragons with the ability to move? If these Proto Dragons lost their Dragon Source Crystals, they would become metal or even food for other Proto Dragons. Then how did their instincts come about?
No matter how low their intelligence was, they should still have intelligence! Low-rank intelligence was still intelligence. After all, they were all living creatures.
Although that was what he thought, the truth was right in front of him. He didn't know what exactly happened and couldn't make a judgment.
The Federation should have discovered this but they didn't have any reaction. They must have researched it thoroughly.
I'll see what happens after I get a Dragon Source Crystal.
Lan Xuanyu hid his doubts in his heart and led his team to set off once again. They followed Liu Feng's guidance and chased after the mechas in front. Agility-type soul masters were sent out from both sides to scout.
Those mechas weren't weak at all. In two hours, they had already picked up over a dozen corpses of Proto Dragons. Among them, the strongest was a rank-four Proto Dragon.
It wasn't that the mecha pilots didn't want to bring these corpses away, but compared to the Proto Dragon's corpse, the Dragon Crystals were obviously more valuable and didn't take up much space. Not everyone had a large soul storage device like Lan Xuanyu.
The price of a soul storage device that could store mechas was already astronomical. In Shrek Academy, one needed five purple emblems to exchange for it.
After storing the mechas, where else could they store corpses! But Lan Xuanyu could do it! His Ring of Fate had a space of 10,000 square meters, and he had once stored a warship.
So, picking up over a dozen corpses was a real harvest. The Federation military probably wasn't too interested in this either. Their current mission was to obtain Dragon Crystals, but after bringing them back, they could refine them into rare metals. Even if they couldn't make Battle Armors and mechas, they could still sell them to the academy! These were all emblems that could be collected without much effort.
Through the battle scenes constantly transmitted by Liu Feng's and careful observation of the Proto Dragons' corpse, Lan Xuanyu and the others gradually became familiar with the Proto Dragon.
After another hour and picking up six more corpses, Liu Feng's voice suddenly became excited.
"There's a big one, at least equivalent to a 10,000-year soul beast. It's probably a rank 6 or above Proto Dragon." As he spoke, he transmitted the image back.
It was a gigantic creature that was over 15 meters tall. Its entire body was covered in dark gold scales and its head was especially big. It looked like a tyrannosaur-like dragon-type soul beast. However, its forelimbs were extremely thick and shone brightly with its large head. There was a large tail on its back and at the tip of the tail was a gigantic metal ball that was over two meters in diameter. When it swung that metal ball, its tail actually grew longer and when it swept out, the strong wind it brought along gave out a terrifying feeling of destroying everything.
