[MMWF] – U N V E I L I N G – Chapter 6: Silver Wolf
Rong Mi paused in the movement and raised his eyes in shock.
Within the energy field, the sky, which had originally been dimly lit by the blizzard, went completely black.
At the highest point of the dark sky, a silver moon suddenly emerged, hanging high above it.
It was an extremely strange silver-white moonlight. Beneath the clear light, the blizzard froze.
With a crackling sound, the strong wind stopped, and the snowflakes condensed and turned into billions of tiny ice particles, which dropped suddenly.
At the same time, the large Ice Butterflies were frozen on the vast snowfield.
They turned into ice sculptures, which then shattered and perished, merging with the ice from the blizzard.
A lot of the ice extended downwards along the cracks in the snowfield.
Rong Mi was sitting in the mecha with the temperature control system on, but he still felt the extremely cold air seeping in through the mecha's protective panels.
"Report - it was detected that the mecha cockpit was damaged due to ultra-low temperature -"
Rong Yu was jolted back to his senses by the cockpit alarm noise. He spread his mental power and formed a barrier, gathering his mecha and Gu Ming behind him.
...Outside, someone had exploded his mental power before him!
And that person's mental strength... was higher than anyone’s he had ever seen.
Rong Mi raised his head, turning a blind eye to the frozen scene, and stared closely at the clear moon in the sky.
As the ice thickens, the crescent moon sets, sinking deep into the ice as if sinking into the ocean.
But it still left a silver shadow on the ground.
Not in human form.
But a majestic silver wolf.
The frost beneath his feet was illuminated by the falling moonlight.
The thick layer of soil under the snowfield seemed to be melted by the light, turning into a fine ice mist, like white wisps suspended in bright, crystal-clear ice.
Among the debris were frozen Ice Butterflies one after another.
They are layered on top of each other and solidified in the glacier in different postures. Some are very close to the surface, and some are deep in the ice. It was illuminated extremely clearly by the moon.
The entire Ice Butterfly's huge nest lair was almost completely displayed in front of everyone, and even Rong Mi felt a little numb when he saw it.
Deep in the shattered frozen soil, He saw not only solidified low-level Ice Butterflies but also several high-level ones.
Probably the first and second-level advanced Ice Butterflies.
While they are more petite than low-level ice butterflies, their wings have a higher density of bright red toxin glands that form a special intricate pattern. These wings are capable of whipping up deadly storms and launching incredibly destructive waves of energy.
On the other hand, the segregation lines on the steel body of the high-leveler Ice Butterfly faded instead, and the insect limbs became more powerful and began to grow flesh and blood outside the hard skeleton. An irregular sphere protruded from the topmost part of the body, which was a symbol that the Zergs's spiritual domain had been cultivated and would continue to advance.
Rong Mi narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to see more details.
However, the next second, the silver light shone so brightly that Rong Mi had no other voice than closing them.
In this light, countless Ice Butterflies frozen in the underground ice shattered and disappeared just like the attackers on the ground.
The earth also melted at this moment.
The soil turned into icy mist, and the original snowfield disappeared, turning into a huge pit as if it had been hit by a meteorite. The bottom of the pit was covered with scraps of Zerg limbs and stones.
The cold silver moonlight began to dwindle.
It's just a matter of a few breaths.
The blackness in the sky dissipated, and the white sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds fell again.
After a moment, the heavy snow and the silver moon disappeared without a trace.
The sky cleared up, and ordinary sunlight shone on the surface of the desolate star whose landscape had changed drastically.
Rong Mi: "..."
Gu Ming: "..."
Commentary: "..."
All viewers in front of the light screen: "..."
Audience: "...Holy shit?"
The script party and the non-script party stopped arguing at the same time.
"...That was...what, what's going on...? Is it a high-level star beast...which player's pet? Why is it already dark?!"
"It should indeed be because of the special mental power of the star beast. What kind of star beast is this?! Isn't this too powerful...?"
"So...the Ice Butterflies are all gone? All killed? Is this star beast so powerful?! What was that I just saw? A wolf?! But why is the wolf gone now??"
"The wolf is very handsome! But I care more about people!! Where is Rong Mi! Where is Gu Shao! Are they okay? The camera signal is a bit poor... Why can't I see anything?"
"...I'm also full of snowflakes!"
"Some circuit in the camera must have been damaged by Silver Wolf's energy shock wave. The quality of this camera is not good. I suggest the program team change it to a different brand in the future!"
"Rong Mi must be fine! I was watching! Rong Mi's mecha was still in good condition before the silver wolf appeared!... Damn, even if a mythical beast suddenly came to make a move... I was still dazzled by Rong Mi. Damn. He's just driving a C-class mecha, and his movements are so gorgeous..."
"Ah, why is the camera broken? I also want to see Rong Mi operate the mecha! Will Rong Mi chase the wolf?"
Rong Mi: Of course I will go!
After he confirmed that Gu Ming was in good condition and had not been frostbitten, he quickly ran towards the center of the snowfield.
Rong Mi wanted to see the star beast with his own eyes!
Unlike alien beasts that feed on humans and like to attack humans, star beasts are in alliance with humans.
The human galaxy protects the habitats of star beasts, and some star beasts will voluntarily sign contracts with humans to become war pets to fight against the Zerg together.
However, after entering the nomadic period, humans were forced to abandon the galaxies they inhabited, and the star beasts that did not have the shelter of humans also became extinct.
Most of the surviving races were small star beasts, such as canine star beasts, rabbit star beasts, feline star beasts, and so on.
Rong Yu had seen most canine-type star beasts from the fleet.[1]
It was a type of small star beast that could only reach the height of a human calf. Because of their small size, some star beast owners took their partners with them when they boarded the ship and left the galaxy, allowing this star beast to survive and reproduce on the starship.
The most common ability possessed by canine star beasts was pain relief.
They cannot cure disease, but they can help alleviate human suffering.
Rong Mi had stroked many of them in his previous life and was obsessed with their feel.
In addition to petting dogs, Rong Mi also likes to watch documentaries on extinct star beasts.
Among the many furries, he liked the wolf-shaped star beasts the most.
A large hunting star beast, extremely majestic and oppressive from head to tail.
It makes people... want to touch two of them!
Rong Mi really wanted to see a real wolf-shaped star beast with his eyes!
Now one appeared right in front of him! How could Rong Mi miss it!
What's more, that silver dire wolf... is very handsome!
Much more handsome than all the restored images of star beasts that Rong Mi has ever seen.
I want to see it again!
Rong Mi's speed was so fast that one almost couldn’t discern his direction.[2]
The spiritual wave emitted by the silver wolf still lingers in the air.
This special wavelength is exceptionally obvious to Rong Mi, and it is a very clear guide to the destination. Rong Mi followed the direction with stronger residual energy and found the center of the pit.
After that, Rong Mi did really see a little silver.
He operated the mecha to approach quickly. When he saw the wolf, his steps suddenly stopped.
Rong Mi: "..."
If it weren't for the guidance of the surrounding spiritual power, Rong Mi would have suspected that he was looking in the wrong place.
The earth beneath the snowfield was grayish-white and collapsed on top of it was a tiny silver wolf.
It was smaller than one of the mech's palms, and could even be cupped with a human's palm.
It looks like a ...... young silver wolf that was just born not long ago.
[1] 容靡见过的犬类星兽最多 - “from the fleet” was not in the raw, but I think the next part would not make a lot of sense. Might edit it later again ^^
[2] 容靡的速度很快,几乎不用辨别方向. I took some liberties here
