Chi Jiu pouted dejectedly, and his tall frame slumped down.
But she's still taller Hela.
She walked dejectedly towards the open space. Hela wanted to follow, but was chased back by her tail.
Aidan looked at the two Variant and, for some reason, felt as if they were of the same kind, communicating with each other with remarkable ease.
When Chi Jiu reached a distance of about 100 meters from the group, a dazzling red light burst forth from her body, covering her entire form and forming a huge crimson sphere of light.
The blinding light made Aidan and Tuote involuntarily close their eyes.
As the light slowly faded, a gigantic fire dragon appeared there.
The entire fire dragon was tens of meters long and nearly twenty meters tall, making it a truly enormous creature.
"Roar--!!!"
Chi Jiu shook his head, then suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky.
The surrounding snowflakes were shaken by the enormous sound, and the earth trembled slightly.
Tuote and the others all covered their ears, while Weier, who was still sleeping in the taxi, was suddenly startled awake.
Seeing the giant dragon outside nearly scared the wits out of them.
Hela trotted over to Chi Jiu, just as she was thinking about how to jump onto her back, when Chi Jiu bit her and threw her onto her back.
Before anyone else could react, it lashed out with its tail again, sending Aidan flying and landing right on its back.
Fortunately, Aidan, being Human Limit combat strength, was not much weaker. Although he was in so much pain that he curled up like a shrimp, he was not seriously injured.
Seeing that Aidan and Hela had come aboard, the dragon flapped its wings twice and prepared to take off.
"Wait a minute, there are still two people who haven't come up yet." Hela lay on top of the dragon's head, sticking her head down to look directly into the dragon's eyes.
His crimson eyes blinked, and he glanced down at Tuote at his feet and Weier in the car.
A low, guttural Japanese voice came from her lips, "Should you bring your spare food?"
Unlike the human form, which is a little soft and cute, the voice of the dragon form is extremely deep and oppressive. Just listening to the sound makes you feel like there is a huge beast pressing on you.
Hela blinked, and a tentacle grew from her back, lashing out at Chi Jiu's face.
Snap!!
The massive dragon head was pulled out with a crisp crack, startling its opponent.
"That's my little brother, not food."
Hela retorted in Japanese, raising her voice by two decibels.
Chi Jiu scratched his head, which Hela had hit.
Perhaps knowing she was in the wrong, she lowered her head and let Tuote come up on his own, instead of violently throwing him up like Aidan and Hela did.
Just as Tuote was about to go up, Chi Jiu's gaze caught sight of Weier was still sitting in the car.
That brain, second only to Hela in intelligence, worked rapidly, then seemed to realize something.
He gently bit Tuote, who was just about to climb up, and accurately tossed him into the car.
Tuote sat in the car, looking at Weier with a bewildered expression. Before the two could figure out what was going on, Chi Jiu picked up the car and spread his arms wide.
Whoa--!
With a gentle flap of its wings, which can span tens of meters, the powerful force compresses the air and swirls up the surrounding snowflakes.
With a sudden leap from its powerful legs, the enormous dragon soared into the air, its wings whistling as it flew through the sky.
Aidan stared in disbelief at Chi Jiu's actions, then turned her gaze to Hela.
Hela stroked her chin and nodded in a mocking manner, "This dragon is very clever."
"..."
As one cloud after another was pierced by Chi Jiu, the surrounding air began to grow colder to an exaggerated degree.
Countless snowflakes drifted in the air, but soon disappeared again, followed by extreme dryness.
Because all the water has been frozen into a solid state.
Strangely, Hela knew that the outside temperature might have dropped to below minus ten degrees Celsius, but even Tuote and the others didn't feel any discomfort.
Hela touched the scales under her bottom, and sure enough, they were like a hand warmer, constantly getting hot.
Thick, hot air enveloped Chi Jiu, creating a warm zone completely isolated from the cold air.
However, Hela suddenly realized that if Chi Jiu had this ability, how did he manage to almost freeze himself to death?
Could it be that sleeping too soundly turned off this ability?
As Hela thought this, Chi Jiu began to slowly descend, and a vast expanse of pure white continent appeared in everyone's view.
Antarctica.
This word appeared in the minds of everyone except Hela.
"Where am I?"
Hela pointed to the continent below and asked Aidan.
"Ah, boss, you didn't know?"
"I've only lived for eight years. I was sealed inside the stone for five of those years. The only places I could learn anything were the Special Investigation Squad and the recruit training camp, but they didn't teach me. How would I know?"
Hela naturally said a lot of things, which made Aidan feel sorry for her.
Immediately, he became suspicious, " Special Investigation Squad? Boss, you were undercover there before...?"
"It wasn't an undercover agent there." Hela shook her head. "I'm a member of the Special Investigation Squad."
"But that's not the case now."
As she spoke, Herahera paused, her eyes gleaming.
"But I really like it there, and if I could, I'd like to continue living with those people."
Aidan looked at Hela, her eyes filled with sympathy, but even more so with surprise.
This was the first time Aidan had ever seen such obvious emotion in Hela's eyes.
He could see that Hela, who had previously been indifferent to everything and had no feelings for anything, showed a clear sense of longing when she talked about that Special Investigation Squad.
Aidan didn't know much about Hela's past, but he didn't really want to ask. Even though he knew Hela probably wouldn't feel anything if she told him, he still didn't want to reopen his boss's wounds.
After all, a monster living with a group of humans is bound to be a tragedy.
The snow on the Antarctica surface was blown away by atmospheric pressure, and then began to melt rapidly Chi Jiu was about to fall.
Seeing this, Chi Jiu did not land directly, but waited for Hela and Aidan to jump down before throwing the car out of his mouth.
He burst forth with red light in the air and transformed into human form.
The frigid Antarctica weather instantly froze ice crystals into everyone's hair.
After Chi Jiu landed, Aidan and the others immediately gathered around him, and their bodies instantly warmed up.
Just as Hela was about to ask them where they were, Chi Jiu skillfully found a branch stuck in the snow.
After pulling it out, I started digging through the snow under the branch.
She quickly dug out a wooden trapdoor, exposing it to the wind and snow.
She grabbed the metal handle of the trapdoor and pulled it, revealing a makeshift basement passageway.
Everyone present was somewhat stunned.
"This... is so rudimentary?"
Tuote was somewhat incredulous, since the important bases and other places he had visited before were usually heavily guarded or technologically advanced, while this one looked like it had just been dug up yesterday.
Hela didn't have as many questions; she simply walked over and jumped in.
Seeing Hela jump in, Chi Jiu pointed to the passage and urged the others to hurry up and go in too.
Aidan and Tuote exchanged a glance before following them inside.
Everyone went inside. Chi Jiu stuck the branch back into the entrance and followed him in, closing the door behind him.
