Hu Teng had no doubt that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation this time, the other party might find his location in a few days.
Moreover, judging from the other party's tone, they probably guessed something.
This is a bit tricky...
After thinking for a while, considering that he had been discovered, Hu Teng decided that it would be best to shift the blame to the Royal Family and the Sirens first.
Whether you believe it or not is not so important now.
After all, she had already taken the lead.
The ship girl summoned her ship equipment, took out the crystal ring that Xu Huan had given her and which she had treasured for a long time, and gently put it on the ring finger of her right hand.
This means being deeply in love.
-------------------------------------
At noon, the sun gradually became intense.
"This should be right here?"
Looking at the map projected on his watch and his coordinates displayed above it, Xu Huan turned to look around and, sure enough, saw his 'birth island' not far away.
A small island that looks quite desolate and unremarkable.
He woke up on this unremarkable island and met the little octopus. Xu Huan even remembered the shock he felt when he saw a sailboat rise directly from the seabed.
At a normal travel speed, it would take at least two days to get here from Port Royal.
Fortunately, when he first encountered the small Siren fleet, he had been cautious and had his watch record the coordinates of the prototype ship of the little octopus at that time. Based on the recorded coordinates, he performed a long-distance jump this morning, which allowed him to return to the island in a short time.
He and the little octopus left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to carefully check the island where he woke up. Now that the situation has stabilized, he definitely wants to come back and take a look.
The jump device has personnel restrictions, so he did not let Belfast accompany him on this trip.
Anyway, by the time it gets dark, the warp drive will be almost reset, and I can just warp back.
Upon arriving on the island, Xu Huan immediately set his watch to perform a comprehensive and detailed scan. While waiting for the scan results, he followed his vague memories and went directly to the small patch of ruins in the center of the island.
"I'm quite familiar with this small area..."
Xu Huan immediately recognized the spot where he had injected the experimental reagent.
He was already at his wit's end and would soon be overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, so he had no choice but to place his hopes on that vial of reagent.
I gently stroked the dusty steel on the ground. There seemed to be traces of insect bites on it, and some parts were even corroded into strange shapes by some kind of acid.
"No wonder it's a little octopus... it doesn't seem to care much about these things..." The young man muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly felt much more at ease.
Although the surrounding environment seemed a bit abnormal, in that situation, no matter what, it was still me, a dazed and confused living person, who would attract the most attention, right?
After sweeping away the strangely corroded steel pieces, Xu Huan picked up some uncorroded hard pieces from the ground. After confirming that they were made of a familiar material, he stored them in his storage device.
Based on his current understanding of the technological level of the ship girls and humans on this planet, the hardened piece of this special material in his possession should be quite effective; at the very least, it shouldn't be able to destroy the mass-produced Sirens' shells...
He's not very good at materials and research either, but fortunately, the ship girls have some very professional people there. He can just bring the hard drive back for them to analyze and study.
It's supposedly called something like "Buli"?
They are engineers, researchers, and civil engineers... It's even said that most of the buildings in Port Royal were completed by them and Manju together.
These ship girls, with their multiple talents, are extremely valuable multi-talented individuals even within the Human Alliance, and should be treated with great care.
After collecting the hard copies and other materials 'left over' from the People's Federation that might be useful, the scanning of the watch was gradually completed.
Because a fine scanning mode was used, the amount of data listed was much greater than before. Xu Huan frowned and calculated for a long time as he looked at the various data that were constantly being listed before finally arriving at a conclusion.
"This place...it really is just an ordinary island..."
The geological composition, soil quality, moisture and humidity are all very ordinary.
"Let's look at it from another angle..." Xu Huan turned off the scanning function of his watch, placed one hand on the ground, and began to mobilize the mental energy within his body.
The conventional perspective is different, but what if we switch to a psionic perspective?
The spiritual energy within his body gradually began to surge, and most of the island was invaded by Xu Huan's spiritual energy. As time went by, the weeds on the ground gradually turned yellow, and some shrubs even began to wither.
Seeing this, Xu Huan also stopped what he was doing.
There was nothing unusual in my perception, except that the withering and corrosion were somewhat unexpected.
As mentioned before, mental energy has many uses, but his research focuses primarily on combat applications. However, before today, his mental energy had never caused any living organisms to corrode and wither.
Either there's something wrong with me, or something's not right with the plants here.
After breaking off a few pieces of corroded weeds and branches and placing them into the storage device, the young man flashed a few times and arrived directly on the sea surface outside the island.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a seagull that was still flying was sucked directly into his hand.
Enter the mental energy again.
The seagulls were flapping their wings frantically, showing signs of excitement, but this was a normal reaction of their mental energy. Apart from this, there were no other strange reactions, and their vital signs were generally very stable.
Is there something wrong with this island?
As Xu Huan was thinking this, the seagull in his hand suddenly stopped flapping, and its wings, which had been flapping continuously, gradually stiffened.
Xu Huan withdrew the mental energy from the seagull's body, released his body, and watched it fly shakily for a while before gradually returning to normal. He stared at his hand, stunned.
When did psionic energy become like poison?
wrong...
Looking at the seagull I just caught, this situation should be reversible...
The young man returned to his previous spot, and sure enough, many of the flowers, grasses, and shrubs that had withered earlier had now returned to their original state before he arrived on the island, lush and verdant.
"That's weird... I'll have to take a good look at it when I get back..."
Xu Huan was not particularly happy about his sudden newfound ability.
New abilities can bring improvement, but a good improvement is only achieved when you have complete control over the situation and how to use them. Energy that exceeds your control can be more dangerous than an enemy in many situations.
Looking around at the ruins, Xu Huan updated his coordinates, then took out a crystal filled with his mental energy from his pocket and threw it into the ruins.
When the crystal is filled, the crystal-like red color emits a faint glow, illuminating everything around it.
Xu Huan then stomped on the crystal, crushing it to pieces.
A dense concentration of mental energy began to permeate the air, but because it had been accumulated beforehand, it did not cause the same corrosive effect on the surrounding environment as it had before.
He couldn't wait any longer...
The sudden discovery immediately gave him the idea of returning to the port area; he needed a quiet and safe environment to explore and practice his abilities.
So he chose to waste a long-accumulated energy crystal to reset his jump.
The watch slowly turned, and then most of the red-glowing particles suddenly disappeared, and Xu Huan's body vanished from the island in an instant.
The next second, in the royal bedroom, accompanied by a faint red light, the young man appeared directly in the room.
Despite the dizziness brought on by the jump, Xu Huan quickly opened the door.
Belfast was cleaning the entire house outside when she heard footsteps coming from inside and turned around in surprise.
"Master...didn't you say you wouldn't be back until tonight?"
"Something unexpected happened..." Xu Huan patted his slightly stuffy chest and replied, "Could you prepare an open space for me? An open space for practicing combat..."
-------------------------------------
Shortly after Xu Huan left, a dark red figure appeared near the island they had just been on.
The ship girl, dressed in a black military uniform, has a very voluptuous figure. Beneath her red horns, her beautiful black hair is casually draped behind her, and her black and gold eyes seem to unconsciously carry a gentle feeling when she looks around.
The subtle allure that flashed unintentionally at the corner of her eyes, and the excessively full, white breasts that were too plump even when she was standing, added a touch of mature sensuality to her overall gentle demeanor.
In addition, her tall figure and the powerful aura she exudes unintentionally make people want to be immersed in her presence.
Frederick the Great, one of the products of Project H, is an Ironblood battleship, and can also be considered a sister ship of Hutten.
Although they are sister ships and both are battleships, they are completely different in terms of physique. It should be said that Frederick's voluptuous and charming figure and temperament are rare even in the entire faction.
Just as the message sent to Hutten yesterday indicated, Frederick had just completed the relevant attack and mopping-up mission.
Upon seeing Hutten's reply on the communication device, Frederick raised an eyebrow slightly.
She wouldn't believe too much of such nonsensical reasons; it seemed she needed to find a time to check with the royal family.
Knowing Hu Teng as she did, there weren't many things he would lie about or keep from her and the Minato Ward like this, and the most likely explanation was something related to that person...
"Has that child... been found? Hmm..."
Frederick suppressed the ripples in his heart, forcibly composed himself, and turned his gaze to the distant island.
"This place... this island shouldn't have existed before, right?"
The nearest port to this place is Ironblood, and as one of Ironblood's high-ranking officials, she is certainly familiar with this sea area.
She had been to the area a long time ago, and at that time she also did not discover the island.
"Did it suddenly appear recently? But the area around here doesn't have the conditions for a new island to form naturally..." Frederick hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.
"Go up and have a look."
