Chapter 1293: 1293
When Jiang Fei and Ottogackt left the training facility, Ottogackt stopped for a bit . He went over to the operator of the facility structure and told him to turn off the system . It would seem that the facility was drawing a lot of power and since he was leaving for a while, it might as well be turned off .
“We’re done here . Follow me . ” Ottogackt turned to Jiang Fei and beckoned him to follow . Jiang Fei nodded and followed along like an obedient dog .
As they walked, Jiang Fei’s curiosity compelled him to ask where they were going but Ottogackt remained silent . Soon the duo had left the academy entirely and headed towards the shipping port . There, Ottogackt simply called out to a random passing operator .
“Ready a small transport ship for me . ”
“You got it, sir,” said the operator .
By law, no training officer had the right to take a training cadet out from the academy and leave the planet . Ottogackt however, had no regard for the laws and protocols . Like many others with power and fame, much like on Earth even, Ottogackt could do anything he wanted and get away with it .
After a short wait, the same operator returned to lead them to a small transport vessel . The ship was just being fueled and had over ten crew members ready for a new mission .
“Sir, where are we going?” asked the captain of the vessel .
“Planet Cororan, Zora system,” said Ottogackt .
“Keying in… we are ready,” said the captain . The other crew members initiated the departure procedure, finalizing all other systems in the ship before closing the boarding hatch .
“Sir? Cororan is…?” Jiang Fei probed for more information .
“It’s faster to understand when you see it for yourself,” murmured Ottogackt .
All hatches were closed and when everyone was strapped in, the ship took off from the space port, zooming across the atmosphere and into space . Unlike any other space ship that Jiang Fei had seen and rode on, this ship was shaped like a basic metallic spaceship, with a small multi-purpose cargo space at the rear and two seated pilot cabins in the front .
The ship took off vertically first and after reaching a certain altitude, it zoomed straight with only a small elevation angle before it breached the atmosphere into the vacuum of space .
After four hours of sublight speeds, they arrived at another planetary system . This planetary system had less than 10 celestial objects, planets included, orbiting a yellow dwarf main sequence star . A smaller version of the Sun of the Sol System .
“Sir, we are approaching the orbit distance of Cororan . Do you wish to descend?” asked the captain .
“No need . Approach orbiting distance and teleport him down to a random grounded terrain,” said Ottogackt .
“Yes, sir . ”
Jiang Fei arched an eyebrow . Perhaps he was being sent down for a mission or a test . “Sir, am I been given a mission?” he asked .
“Not a mission, technically . All you need to do down there is stay alive,” said Ottogackt, cracking a smile .
Jiang Fei shuddered at the sight of it as he could feel a sinister plot afoot .
“Sir, everyone is ready . We can proceed with the teleportation,” said the captain .
“Boy, in seven days, I will come back and pick you up . If there’s anything left of you…” said Ottogackt, gesturing a ‘go’ sign to the captain .
Before Jiang Fei could react, white particles appeared and swirled around him . In the next second, Jiang Fei reappeared on soft ground on Planet Cororan .
He walked around, feeling the texture of the ground beneath him . The gravity on Cororan was stronger than Earth and only slightly less than Redstone .
“Nice place, this is,” said Jiang Fei .
Although everything on the planet was alien to him, he could still appreciate nature in its many forms . The entire planet, or at least this particular area of it, was covered with flora . Plants that grew as tall as Burg Khalifa could be seen blocking the light from the sky . Grass and moss-like plants that were as all as Jiang Fei covered the lower ground . The atmosphere was pleasant, warm, and peaceful .
“Seven days seems alright,” said Jiang Fei as he started to wander around, looking for a suitable place to set up camp .
As he made his way through the shrubs, he made sure to glance around with the scope actively scanning for lifeforms . Just then, he heard a faint noise coming from a nearby towering tree and spotted a rabbit .
“A rabbit…?” Jiang Fei gasped . The rabbit… looked exactly like a rabbit from Earth! The same size, long fluffy ears, short limbs, and cute little cheeks that wobble as they chew .
Flop… flop…
Not noticing Jiang Fei, the rabbit continued to mind its own business . Jiang Fei himself remained a distance away, staying quiet as he continued to observe the little critter .
Not long after it was simply hopping around, the tall grass nearby began to move, as if something was slithering towards its direction . The scope began to use different kinds of sight filters until it detected a long snake-like lifeform through its infrared filter .
It was as wide as a tree trunk and measured at least eight meters long . The snake came forward, wrapping itself around the rabbit to prevent the poor little critter from escaping .
“Well, that’s the circle of life,” said Jiang Fei .
Although he was more compassionate than Ottogackt and anyone else on Redstone, he was not kind enough to save the rabbit . He recognized that by stopping the snake from eating the rabbit, he would be disrupting the ecosystem .
Just when the snake was curling itself in preparation to strike, the rabbit let out a deafening squeak . In the next second, countless other rabbits of many different shapes, sizes, and colors appeared from other parts of the biome .
At that moment, Jiang Fei finally recognized the one difference between the rabbits of Earth and the rabbits of Cororan — their carnivorous nature!
The rabbit that was being cornered made its first move against the snake by jumping towards its head and biting it off with its sharp, vampire-like fangs . All the other rabbits joined in to feast on the snake and not two seconds later, the large snake was gone, leaving nothing but a trail of long, white colored bones .
Jiang Fei took a while to digest what he saw and instinctively took a step back . These cute little critters were vicious as f*ck! As he slowly withdrew from the mass of carnivorous rabbits, he unfortunately did not look at where he stepped .
Kree!
Jiang Fei quickly looked down and saw that he had just stepped on a rabbit the size of his fist . It died instantly when Jiang Fei stepped on it but that was not the end . Its dying scream alerted the others and in no time, a horde of fang-baring rabbits was coming towards him! The phrase ‘like hungry wolves’ would not be enough to describe them, these rabbits were worse than hungry wolves!
Poppy
Combat Level: 3,300
A smaller than average lifeform . Indigenous to Planet Cororan . Due to their small appearance and size, they move, hunt, and live in large groups . They possess very little intellectual capability . They know no fear of death . If threatened, they band together to kill any other lifeform, no matter their size . Caution, never approach a large group of Poppies .
Without relying on Omnisurge, Jiang Fei slapped the incoming poppies with his bare hands . These poppies only had 3,300 combat level . At most, they would be the same level as the strongest Level 4 fighter on Earth . For Jiang Fei, they were just as they are, rabbits .
As soon as Jiang Fei killed the second one, the thousands of other rabbits squeaked at the same time, summoning other rabbits from faraway to surround Jiang Fei .
As warned by the scope, one is never to approach a large group of Poppies . That usually just meant a group of more than ten but Jiang Fei was facing off against at least tens of thousands! The cries of a fallen rabbit was deemed as a cry for reinforcement . Unless one were to kill all the Poppies on Cororan, one would not be able to catch a break until either side perishes .
The first thing Jiang Fei did was leap towards high ground and draw the Chengying Sword as a precaution . As Jiang Fei jumped on branches to escape, the crowd of rabbits leaped up too, chasing Jiang Fei all the way up into the trees .
“F*ck!”
Several rabbits leaped in front of Jiang Fei, wanting to have a bite of his head . Jiang Fei cut them down swiftly but it did not make things easier . The more he killed, the more vicious the rabbits became . He eventually gave up on running and decided to face them all at once .
He blasted an area, blowing and flattening tall grass to create a breathing area for himself to prepare for a mass slaughter .
WOOSH!
With a sword swing charged with a massive amount of energy, Jiang Fei cut down several hundreds of them . But the alien rabbits were still not showing any signs of retreating!
“When is this going to end…” Jiang Fei grunted as he continued to kill and kill .
Individually, these rabbits would not stand a chance against Jiang Fei but as a whole, they might actually defeat him . By the time he had killed several thousands of then, tens of thousands more came to take their place .
Ottogackt had placed Jiang Fei on Cororan, not to train his combat skills or strength, but to cultivate the mentality of a cold-hearted killer . Ottogackt recognized that Jiang Fei was a talented fighter . To train one’s combat skill only took time and effort .
But to train one’s mental state, to mold one’s personality to kill without hesitation, takes more than that . Jiang Fei needed to go through a special baptism, a baptism by blood, by slaughter .
