Unfathomable Senior

Chapter 637

“Took you long enough.”

“Sorry for making you worry.”

“Hmph.”

Zhang Dong flew over to his wife that at the moment was clad in the emerald armor that was created for her. During the trip here he was able to pinpoint their location after she activated her prestige unit skill to make her more powerful. With it, she was able to easily destroy the being made from lava and all the fake cores along with it.

“Isn’t that cure, little Liena is blushing.”

“Shut your mouth if you don’t want me to make you into a woman old man!”

One of the blades that were flying in the sky aimed itself at Zhang Jin’s crotch after he made the comment. Then it actually flew toward the old man’s crotch and would have connected with his tool if he didn’t dodge to the side. Zhang Dong started scratching his head while watching his wife chasing after his grandfather. It was quite surprising to see Zhang Jin dodge those high-speed attacks without getting scratched.

“D-dong’er please help me! She has gone crazy!”

“... Should I? Hm...”

“What if she damages it? How could you be so cruel to your grandfather!”

“Ugh, fine...”

Even though it was fun to see his perverted grandfather being chased around by his angry wife, this was not the time to waste their energy. While the huge mountain-sized lava creature had been defeated, it was not the only one out here. When he was flying towards this place where the Golden Palace was parked he saw another of its kind moving to this area. They were probably attracted to either the sounds of battle or the massive amounts of Qi being wasted during it.

“Liena, think that’s enough, the other sect members are looking at you... Do you want to be known as the mad Matriarch in the future?”

He played it off as a joke and it worked like a charm. The people in this world like to keep an image and his wife wasn’t different. The moment she saw some of the juniors and elders glancing her way with confused expressions she managed to return to her old self. The armor that she was wearing vanished into green particles of light and her lovely figure along with her flowy robe was revealed underneath.

“No one saw anything, understood?”

She covered half of her face with one of her battle fans while glaring at the people down below. With haste, all of the sect members started bowing with approval while shouting.

“Yes, Matriarch!”

“Good...”

It was hard for Zhang Dong not to smile in this situation. All the stress and fear of having his sect members along with his wife slaughtered was gone. The palace was there and along with it everyone that had gone out for this trip. While he wasn’t sure if there were no casualties, the palace was in good shape which probably meant that they were all fine.

“I think she grazed it a bit... is it still there?”

Zhang Jin on the other hand started looking down at his robe which had been slightly nicked in a few places. Luckily he discovered that his little gentleman down below had not been damaged. This allowed him to release a sigh of relief while also fleeing from the sky to not get poked at again.

‘I see, so if I give you more time then it could work.’

The previous time he encountered a gate to another pocket dimension he had Bob store the data from it. If he was able to find a secondary gate like the last one, the data that his Ai received could be enough to triangulate other locations. What he was looking were not the ones that brought them to dangerous zones like this one but to the one that the leader of the underwater people resided in.

“It could work.”

“Have you figured out something, husband?”

“Yes, we need to find a certain location first and I think it won’t even be that hard.”

Liena smiled at Zhang Dong who started to go to work. The golden palace needed to take off and head to the next location. The spot that they were occupying was already known by the enemies. They couldn’t just blindly fly through the volcanic area, sooner or later their engines would lose power and he would need to turn himself into a battery to keep everything running.

‘Bob, find the wavelength similar to the gate that I traveled through, there is probably at least one exit like that which connects to another pocket dimension, use the golden palace as a magnifier for the signal if you have to.’

‘Affirmative...’

‘Calculating...’

‘Signal found, 94,23% match, sending over coordinates...’

It took a few minutes but Bob was able to find a spot with a strong enough signature. Soon enough the Golden Palace was starting to take off and flying in that direction. On the many screens that were in the control room, he could see the volcanic creatures following after them. They were all over the place, it didn’t seem that this volcanic area had any safe locations devoid of conflict.

Without the giant base that could hold so many people, it would have probably not been possible to minimize the casualties this much. It was the correct choice to wait for enough system points for the upgrade. If he took the previous version of the Golden Dong Palace into these depths, then it would not have been such a smooth ride.

Even with him knowing the way the road was a bumpy one. The monsters were on to them and continued to chase them throughout the entire journey. Getting their shields pelted with lava-filled rocks was an hourly occurrence. Their ship wasn’t the fastest one and as they were trying to conserve power, they couldn’t move at full capacity.

It took a few days but they made it to the location that Bob pinpointed. It was another giant structure but this time instead of a tower it looked like a mountain stretching above the heavens.

‘This one clearly connects somewhere as well but I’m not sure if we should just cross through it. Then there is the problem of taking the palace with us...’

It didn’t seem that it would be possible for the whole golden palace would fit through the dimensional door that was hidden within this mountain. At the bottom was a similar-sized gate that could probably only fit people through it. Leaving the flying fortress that was their main weapon wasn’t really an option so another way needed to be found to get through here.

‘Bob begin the analysis.’

‘Affirmative.’

Zhang Dong gave the order as his intention was to figure out the pattern between these connectors. If he could map them out then it would be possible to just teleport to the source without the need of jumping through hoops. Yet to his surprise, this wouldn’t be as easy as he hoped for.

‘Warning...warning... threat detected.’

‘Huh? What is it now?’

The moment Bob began analyzing the pathway forward some type of defensive system was triggered. It was similar to the time he attempted to bust his way through the sky and with it triggered more of the lava monsters would be coming to this location.
