However, long-distance interdimensional teleportation is very risky, and even though the Dwarf craftsmen checked it repeatedly, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei did not slack off.
After inspecting the teleportation array, they also specifically examined the rock containing a high-level Demonic Core left behind by Telingewei's mother Rheinhild.
The energy inside is sufficient, theoretically enough for them to travel smoothly to Xie Juanhan's hometown.
However, after this teleportation, the energy inside should be almost completely depleted.
Everything is ready; we are just waiting to set off.
Xie Juanhan stood on the teleportation array and took a deep breath.
Telingewei grasped his hand.
Upon seeing this, the furry creatures nearby immediately raised their paws and grabbed their legs from all sides.
The Magic Wand Tree, which had been placed horizontally on the teleportation array, also extended its roots, tightly binding them.
"Don't be afraid, I've consulted the oracle, everything will go smoothly," Xie Juanhan said, bowing his head.
Nibote nuzzled Xie Juanhan's chest and abdomen with its large head.
The Companion Beast also joined in.
Xie Juanhan felt ticklish from their rubbing, and all his tension vanished, leaving only a smile, "Then let's begin."
In the preview, Xie Juanhan had already pulled Telingewei into the teleportation array and channeled his Dragon Power into it.
With a "hum", the teleportation array was activated.
Xie Juanhan instantly felt an indescribable sense of pressure.
It was as if the vast universe and endless time had all compressed in, completely enveloping them.
Feeling the gentle yet irresistible pressure, Xie Juanhan immediately unleashed his Dragon Power, enveloping each family member to prevent them from getting separated during the teleportation.
The same was true for Telingewei; the powerful Dragon Power spread to Xie Juanhan and other family members.
They both used their Dragon Power to protect the furry creatures, just like adding two seat belts to them.
Just then, Xie Juanhan felt the Magic Wand Tree uncontrollably extend its roots, as if trying to grasp something.
It seems it really has caught something.
"Little Tree?!" Xie Juanhan was enveloped in time and space, his vision filled with a flowing gray, unable to see anything. He wasn't even sure if his voice could carry, so he could only shout, "What did you grab?"
The Magic Wand Tree beside them did not respond.
Xie Juanhan was very worried about it. His Dragon Power surged out and he gripped it even tighter, as if he had grabbed something hard.
Xie Juanhan didn't know what it was either, and in his panic, he could only try his best to hold on tight.
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were both in human form when they stood on the teleportation array.
The humanoid form is relatively small, making it easier to transport.
During the teleportation, they involuntarily transformed back into dragon form.
The feeling of endless spacetime enveloping me was terrifying; only the powerful dragon form could withstand it.
Xie Juanhan transformed into a long dragon, and from its claws to its tail, every movable part of its body firmly protected its family members, including Telingewei.
Telingewei transformed into a giant dragon, protecting everyone from its wings to its mouth, including Xie Juanhan.
Their family, in the form of a chimera, struggled through endless time and space, finally falling out in a dizzying frenzy.
"Ah--"
"Aww--"
"Chirp chirp chirp!!!"
Amidst the screams of all family members, they experienced a final moment of weightlessness before being hurled into a gentle wave.
The warm seawater embraced them.
Thanks to their practice of growing seaweed and raising One-Bone Fish in the sea, all family members are very familiar with the seawater.
Despite variations in salinity and temperature, they instinctively curl up upon contact with seawater, maintaining a posture conducive to levitation.
Then they were gently lifted to the surface of the sea by buoyancy.
The ocean was azure, the sky was crystal clear, and even the sun overhead looked almost like the sun in a magical world.
Haxi, disoriented, pawed at the seawater, turning his head to look around in a doggy-paddle motion, as if asking if he was back in Xie Juanhan's hometown, "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan's face was covered with what looked like water droplets or tears. He reached up and wiped his face. "Yes, we succeeded."
As he spoke, he scooped up a small cluster of green things floating in the seawater.
It was a bunch of Dragon Power leaves tied together with a ribbon.
They actually found the Dragon Power Leaf that had been teleported back from the last time right in the same spot!
Telingewei transformed back into a dragon, floating on the water like a small island.
They struggled to climb onto the dragon's back.
Moli was still carrying the root of the Magic Wand Tree in his mouth, trying to drag it from the sea onto the dragon.
The other furry creatures saw this and immediately rushed over to help.
The Magic Wand Tree chirped anxiously, "Chirp, chirp!"
It's crying out, "Don't bite off its roots!"
Xie Juanhan smacked Nibote on the head. "Don't bite so hard, are you helping or tearing down the tree?"
Nibote flicked his tail, slightly loosened his jaws, and then noticed a deep tooth mark on the tree root.
It glanced nervously to its left and right, revealing a sliver of the whites of its eyes.
Seeing the same expression on Haxi's furry face, Nibote breathed a sigh of relief and quickly licked the roots of the Magic Wand Tree.
The roots of the Magic Wand Tree had been bitten open, and a sweet, refreshing sap was oozing out.
It shrank its neck, too embarrassed to steal any more nibbles from the Magic Wand Tree's branches.
Xie Juanhan didn't have time to deal with such trivial matters as Nibote and the others. Just now, during the teleportation, he grabbed something hard, which was clearly not a limb of Telingewei, nor any other family member.
When it fell, it looked like it hit the sea.
Xie Juanhan asked the Magic Wand Tree, "Little Tree, did you just grab something?"
Magic Wand Tree: "Chirp!"
It shook its canopy, lifting a portion of its roots out of the sea to show off what it had caught.
They were small, shiny, silvery-white stones with slightly angular edges.
The Magic Wand Tree had only wanted to grab onto something to hold onto, and in its nervousness, its roots couldn't loosen, so it brought everything along.
"What is this?" Xie Juanhan leaned closer to examine it. "Such concentrated energy."
Xie Juanhan reached out and gently grasped the silvery-white stone, and the Magic Wand Tree released it.
Xie Juanhan took it in his hand and felt its weight and coolness, then a pure and rich Magic Power spread through his hand.
With a little force, he managed to grab a handful of stone dust.
Xie Juanhan was utterly shocked. "Dao Ancestor, could this thing be Star Soil?"
Xie Juanhan met the gaze of the giant dragon that had turned its head.
The dragon's voice was deep and resonant. "I think I've caught several pieces myself, hidden inside my scales."
Xie Juanhan: "Which scales? Let me see."
Dragon: "Those few scales just below the wings."
Xie Juanhan shifted his position, moving to a spot slightly below the dragon's wings to examine it.
Several scales beneath the dragon's wings could not be closed; they simply curled upwards gently.
At first glance, the upturned scales look a bit like the feathers a swan raises when carrying its calf.
"There really is." Xie Juanhan used a little force to pull out what was under the scales, and then pulled out several stones that were larger than chairs.
Xie Juanhan touched the stone. "It might really be Star Soil. Even if it isn't, such concentrated energy is a rare find. This energy is so pure, it's almost like Elemental Crystal."
Dragon: "It might be Star Soil."
Xie Juanhan: "The name isn't important, what matters most is its substance! Wait, I think I just caught a big piece too, but it fell into the sea. I'll go down and retrieve it."
Without waiting for the other family members to respond, Xie Juanhan plunged into the sea, transforming into a White Dragon and heading to the seabed to find the stone he had grabbed.
In a short while, the White Dragon laboriously used all four of its claws to hug a rock about five or six square meters in size and climbed onto the back of the giant dragon.
Harper and the others had never seen such a large magical Elemental Crystal before, and they gaped in astonishment. "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan: "Let's take stock first. This is all the piece I caught. What about you guys?"
Dragon: "I've stuffed all the ones I caught into my scales."
The Magic Wand Tree lifted its roots, like an octopus, holding up more than a dozen pieces of Star Soil of various sizes.
Its grip is somewhat weak; the largest is about the size of a soccer ball, and the smallest is only about the size of a fist, but the total number is still quite considerable.
Xie Juanhan stared in disbelief at the row of Star Soil spread out on the dragon's back, then couldn't help but laugh, "What's going on with everyone? The Star Soil we've harvested, once made into fertilizer, will be enough to power our entire farm for decades!"
By making such a fuss, they not only earned enough to cover the cost of the teleportation process, but also earned far more.
Upon hearing about the fertilizer, the Magic Wand Tree happily shook its roots, chirping, "Chirp, chirp chirp."
It sensed something around it that attracted it greatly, but before it could make a judgment, it could only reach out and grab a bit of the tree root.
Xie Juanhan understood. "Little Tree, you were already craving Elemental Crystal even before you officially developed your intelligence, and you even tried to steal Elemental Crystal from me."
The Magic Wand Tree wasn't keen on hearing about the silly things it did when it was little, and it squirmed and chirped.
Xie Juanhan patted the giant dragon. "Telingewei, what about you?"
The dragon succinctly stated, "I saw some glittering things while teleporting, and couldn't resist."
"Hahaha, as expected of you!" Xie Juanhan teased him, "No wonder you didn't say anything at first and even stuffed the Star Soil into the scales."
Telingewei was a little embarrassed, but still replied, "Mm."
Both dragons and the tree had reaped a harvest, and the remaining furry creatures looked at each other with regret on their faces.
