Chapter 93

  Hell's Gate is the only human settlement on Pandora, and they are here purely for financial gain. The unique elements of Pandora are extremely useful materials in aerospace and energy, which is why humans have traveled across vast distances to mine this beautiful but dangerous planet. The Na'vi homeworld tree and the sacred site of the Hallelujah Mountains are among the richest deposits of these elements, leading to frequent clashes between humans and Na'vi over mining - much like the conflicts between white people and Native Americans on the North American continent hundreds of years ago.

  There are a considerable number of scientists in the base, some of whom - like Dr. Grace Augustine - are genuine lovers of the planet's biosphere and loathe what the corporation is doing to Pandora for profit from unobtanium mining. But she is powerless to stop it, and has instead immersed herself in studying the Na'vi and the general ecosystem of Pandora.

  Just as she was testing the spiritual fusion of Avatar and human, a security guard rushed in hastily and flustered, opening his mouth before Dr. Grace's great anger: "Doctor, something has happened outside! The officer asked me to come and ask you to take a look!"

  Dr. Grace followed the security guard out of the institute, and after putting on a breathing mask, they arrived at the base's plaza. Her breath paused for a moment as she saw an astonishing sight - many female winged beasts and several shadow flying dragons were dancing in the air!

  "What's going on? Damn it! Can you give me an answer, Doctor?" Colonel Quaiche of the Guard shouted furiously.

  Dr. Grace didn't respond to his words at all, staring blankly at the creatures of Pandora floating in mid-air, her eyes full of wonder and admiration: "What beautiful creatures, never get tired of watching them."

  The guards and miners on the ground were already in a flurry, the workers hid in their houses and closed the doors tightly, while the guards were busy distributing weapons and installing ammunition, if it weren't for the distance still being far, I'm afraid those who opened fire would have been killed.

  The female winged beast and several shadow flying dragons are rarely seen, and even the Hell's Gate base rarely sees a single female winged beast, let alone a giant shadow flying dragon. People know how terrifying these two creatures are, especially the shadow flying dragon, which is at the top of Pandora's known food chain. Everyone is afraid to ask why so many carnivorous beasts have appeared near the base today, and Dr. Grace clearly knows that "shadow flying dragons usually prey on female winged beasts, it's impossible for these two animals to gather in groups!" She is even more curious about this unusual situation.

  The answer came out quickly.

  A loud roar echoed through the air, and the female winged beast became somewhat flustered, but under the influence of a mysterious power, it regained its composure. "Could this be the mysterious Awa?" Dr. Grace thought to herself. "It seems that those Avatar bodies also sensed this peculiar spiritual connection when they went out for activities, but there was never any concrete evidence to prove its existence? Only the Namie people's tribe nearby would occasionally let it slip when interacting with them, looks like this Awa is still quite mysterious."

  "What kind of creature is that huge roar? It seems like these female winged beasts and shadow flying dragons are going to confront this or these creatures. Isn't the shadow flying dragon the strongest predator on Pandora? There's no record of this. Why did the mysterious Eve do this? Are the female winged beasts and shadow flying dragons Eve?"

  A massive shape tore through the thick cloud layer, and Dr. Grace and Colonel Quatch, as well as everyone visible in the square and inside the houses, stared at it with a mix of shock and terror - its enormous body, with red and black stripes, had a wingspan far larger than that of the largest Wyvern, and its terrifying appearance was covered in layer upon layer of thorny armor plating. Its double wings and double legs were completely unlike any known flying creature on Pandora. "What is this? It looks like it has no evolutionary relationship with any known Pandora species - this creature only has four limbs! We need to observe it up close or dissect it to know for sure!" Dr. Grace immediately radiated an aura of intense scientific curiosity upon seeing the creature...

  "Aviation, man your planes! All combat units, stand by! Take cover! Prepare to fire! Get the guns ready!" Colonel Quaiche yelled even louder after seeing this creature.

  Bo Xiang burst out of the cloud layer, he didn't think that thing called "Ai Wa" could actually summon so many female winged beasts and shadow flying dragons to be his enemy. "Isn't it just burning a small home tree, eating a little food? At most, it's just for capturing small food materials, burning a small forest, is it necessary to go so far?! Do you think I don't eat enough?! Truly seeking death, truly shallow!"

  "Quickly take care of these trash mobs and let's head to the human base over there to find something good to eat and have some fun! What a waste of my time!" Baifu swooped down at high speed. The female winged beasts overcame their fear and came up to prepare for an attack on Baifu's massive body, while the shadow flying dragon began to climb and occupy the high ground, preparing for a diving attack.

  Bo Fu charged forward, ignoring the female winged beasts, and with a single dive, he utilized the kinetic energy from his acceleration and the thorns on his wings to take down multiple female winged beasts. The group of female winged beasts was left with a huge gap after Bo Fu's charge, and those that stood in his way were turned into miserable flesh and blood scattered across the sky.

  Ba Miao broke through the encirclement of the female demon winged beast and landed directly on the ground. At this time, the diving shadow flying dragon changed to level flight and charged towards Ba Miao in order to avoid crashing into the ground. Ba Miao opened his big mouth, and a flame pillar enveloped the first shadow flying dragon that rushed over. Along with the miserable long cry of the shadow flying dragon, this flying dragon was burned alive in a short period of time, its entire head was charred black, and its body and wings were severely burned, it seemed to be dying.

  The other shadow flying dragons didn't take the first one's fate as a warning, and continued to charge at Bolfur from all directions. Bolfur, with his transformed body of a mighty fire dragon, was completely unbothered by the impact of several smaller dragons: "You're no match for me in terms of tonnage or armor! Your collision will only kill yourselves, you trash!" Indeed, one after another, the shadow flying dragons only managed to knock Bolfur back a few steps, cracking a few pieces of his shell and miraculously causing him to bleed a few drops before being killed by Bolfur's large claws, sharp teeth, massive wings, and powerful tail. The female winged beast in the sky and the remaining shadow flying dragons let out long cries, dispersing in all directions under "Eva"'s control, while on the ground, several Nameri people used strong bows to shoot at Bolfur, trying to attract his attention and cover up the escape of the female winged beast and the "Toruk" sacred beast.

  Bo Fu had been eating the fresh meat of Na Mei for several days and was already fed up with it. He didn't even bother to kill these guys who were obviously brainwashed or fanatically worshiping Toruk, but instead just used a few Fire Clouds to chase them away.

  The humans at the gates of hell in the distance were highly nervous, and the former master of the sky on Pandora was so easily killed by this fierce beast in front of them, and this beast could even spit fire, just like it had walked out of human "dragon" legends.

  At this time, several Nami people carefully walked out of the forest, holding old Toruk skulls and freshly killed Pheasant Deer in their hands, trembling as they knelt down to offer sacrifices high in front of Ba Vou.

  "What does this mean? Haven't seen it before? Are they starting to worship me? Taking me as a totem? How interesting! Spare your lives!" Bo Fu thought to himself, and on the surface, he let out a long roar. The several Nami people didn't dare lift their heads, quietly waiting for Bo Fu's verdict.

  He swallowed the peacock deer in one gulp, then licked the Namibian people who were standing nearby, and threw the shadow dragon that was killed under his feet in front of those Namibians. Then he turned around and took off. "Today's performance is over, the base is waiting for me! I'll be back tomorrow!" he said to himself.

  Those Narmes were overjoyed, jumping up and shouting loudly while starting to dance "Thornbrook! Thornbrook!" One of the skilled Narmes even started carving a huge wooden stake on the spot, quickly engraving an abstract totem of a male fire dragon.

  The Na'vi's voice was so loud that the humans in the base also heard it through their equipment. "Toruk Makto? Dr. Grace, what does this mean?" Norm, the base's manager, asked Dr. Grace.

  "Thornguard? Let me check." Dr. Grace typed rapidly on the computer, "Ah ha! In our Namarian dictionary, it means 'Throne of the Sky King'!"

  "'The Throne of the Sky'? Indeed it is! The power of this fierce beast, its ferocity perfectly matches this title! Doctor, as a discoverer in biology, give this fierce beast a name. I think Uranosaurus isn't bad, what do you say?" Nom said.

  "Alright, so it's Uranos Flydrake then. A more specific classification would require more data." Dr. Grace wasn't a scientist completely out of touch with the world either, and she didn't intend to go against the base commander's wishes.

  "What if this guy makes a break for the base?" Nomm asked Colonel Quaiche.

  "Don't worry, sir. Human modern technology is not something those inferior creatures can withstand." Colonel Quaiche replied. "But what a beautiful and powerful beast it is." Colonel Quaiche, clearly from a male warrior's aesthetic perspective, added another sentence, "Uranos Wyrm, the ruler of the sky, what a great name, sir."
