The most dangerous creature he knew of was the Tianxu Insect Queen that gave birth to the cockroach monster. It could only be rated 6.2 at most and had the ability to destroy a city.
The danger level rating increases exponentially; every increase of 0.1 is 1.414 times the previous level.
If the danger level is 10... Xue Jing calculated in his mind that it is about six million times that of the Tianxu Insect Mother.
Xue Jing took a breath of cold air.
Although it is only 'six million times more dangerous' and not 'six million times more powerful', it is still scary enough.
"Super creatures are beings that have the ability to destroy the world."
Void Blade said.
"And the 'super dragon' that came more than thirty years ago, we named it the Mother Dragon."
"It has only one extremely simple ability."
Xu Ren said slowly: "Give birth."
Xue Jing frowned slightly: "Give birth to a child? The one who gives birth to a child?"
Void Blade nodded: "Not bad."
"Its abilities are very similar to those of the Tianxu Worm Queen, but the scale is completely different."
"Any simple ability, once it reaches a certain scale, can become a disaster."
"The Mother Dragon can produce dragons out of thin air in seconds. This is the reason why dragons are rampant and most air-dwelling species are being hunted and extinct."
"—This is also the reason why we humans cannot take airplanes. The sky is the domain of dragons. Anything flying thousands of meters above the sky may be attacked by dragons at any time."
Xu Ren stepped on the ground in the cabin.
"Only this dragon core machine with a 'bio-force field' can blend in and make other dragon species mistakenly think that this plane is also a dragon, so as to avoid being attacked."
"At present, countries around the world organize people to carry out large-scale 'dragon extermination operations' every once in a while. Otherwise, dragon species will soon flood not only the sky but also the ground."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't the materials on the dragon seeds quite precious? In a sense, this is a good thing?"
Void Blade shook his head and said, "It would be nice if it were that way... However, the 'Dragon Seeds' produced by the Dragon Mother will turn into dust and disappear as soon as they die. Nothing will be left behind."
Xue Jing wondered, "Isn't the existence of the Dragon Mother just a big trouble? Why not get rid of it?"
"Of course it's because I can't do it." Xu Ren crossed his arms and sat on the chair.
"In fact, when the Dragon Mother was first discovered, some top warriors went there and wanted to kill or capture her."
"But... I can't do it."
Xu Ren pointed to the sky.
"It is located in space more than 10,000 kilometers above the Earth, orbiting the Earth like a satellite."
"Moreover, when it was first discovered, it was already surrounded by millions of dragons!"

"Millions of dragons..."
Xue Jing subconsciously looked toward the sky through the porthole beside him.
Endless blue sky and white clouds, nothing can be seen... But according to Xu Ren, in the space orbit 10,000 kilometers away that he can't see now, there are more than a million dragon species orbiting the earth
"It is already extremely difficult to adapt to the space environment 10,000 kilometers away, not to mention that the Dragon Queen is protected by millions of dragons. It is almost impossible to kill her."
Void Blade said.
"For decades, countries around the world have tried all kinds of methods, such as absolute firepower coverage and covert infiltration and decapitation... But most weapons and methods are greatly restricted in the space environment."
"Among the millions of dragons, there are many species with special abilities, and they have a variety of reconnaissance and detection abilities. There is no gap around the Dragon Mother that can be hidden and sneaked into."
The mandrill took over the conversation from the Void Blade and said:
"It's not that there's really no way to kill the Dragon Queen, but the price to pay is much greater than the price of the Dragon Queen continuing to live."
"The cost-effectiveness is too low. It is better to just let it stay in space. We can just eliminate the dragon species that are rampant every once in a while."
"It's hard for those small countries that don't have the ability to resist the invasion of dragon species."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Will dragon species come to the ground to invade humans?"
Void Blade said: "Of course."
"However, dragon species are very smart creatures. For example, in the territories of powerful countries such as Zhuxia, the New Cross Church, the Second Arctic Federation, and the New Beiyang Council, dragon species will basically not approach the ground of these areas because they have suffered losses in the past."
"As for countries that lack the deterrent power of force, the dragons are more unscrupulous..."
"Now, every time the 'World Union Conference' is held, a group of countries that cannot bear the harassment of dragons jointly request to attack the Dragon Mother..."
…
Just when Xue Jing was chatting with the two of them in the cabin.
There were four human figures floating in the clouds not far from the plane.
Each of them was wearing a rubber suit similar to a diving suit, which covered their entire body except their head, and they also wore dark sunshade goggles on their eyes.
"Huh? There are still planes that dare to fly to this altitude? Are they looking for death?"
Among the four people suspended in the air, a tall man spoke in confusion.
He pointed at a black plane that was tearing through the air not far away in the sky.
The skinny woman floating beside him looked in the direction of his finger and frowned: "How could it be? It can't be possible."
The third of the four, a long-haired man, had his eyes light up and said, "No, look behind it!"
"There is no 'contrail', this plane does not emit fuel exhaust!"
"It's a dragon core machine! Holy shit, I can actually see a dragon core machine in the outer ring?"
His voice became excited.
That's a dragon core machine!
The production of this type of aircraft is extremely small, and the total number of Dragon Core aircraft in the world is estimated to be no more than one thousand.
Not to mention the technology required for manufacturing, the raw materials are extremely rare.
The core organs of dragon species that are suitable for use as a power source are precious items that are in short supply and may not be found among a hundred dragon species.
Moreover, such core organs have a wide range of uses, and using them to build airplanes is not a very cost-effective way to use them.
Various reasons have led to the rarity of the Dragon Core Machine.
"How about we give it a try and take it away?" the long-haired man immediately suggested.
The skinny woman rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? Do you think it's wild? The Dragon Core Machine is not a civilian product. Who knows which big power this one belongs to!"
The long-haired man retorted, "What are you afraid of? Don't we have any power behind us? If we have this dragon core machine, it will be much easier for our group to do things. This thing doesn't have the problem of alienation rate and can stay in the air forever!"
The skinny woman shook her head. "No, I don't agree. We don't know the situation of this plane. We don't know how many people are inside and how much combat power they have. What if we provoke some monster? It's too late to go back and call for help now."
"Stop dreaming, you idiot. If you want to fly a plane and wait until you get back to the inner ring, go buy a 'simulated cabin' and experience it yourself."
The long-haired man curled his lips and said nothing more to her. He looked at the tall man and said, "Abang, what do you say?"
The tall man named Abang shrugged and said, "I'll listen to Brother Zhong."
The last of the four was a large and strong man who looked to be around thirty years old.
He has a square face and a calm expression, with a purple diamond-shaped crystal embedded in the spine of his back, visible outside his tights.
"That's right, we have Brother Zhong here!"
The long-haired man's eyes lit up as if he had found a strong reason.
"Brother Zhong, what do you think?"
The muscular man named Zhong Ge crossed his arms, tapped his arm twice with his right index finger, and said simply: "Rob."
The woman frowned and sighed, "…If something goes wrong, I will be the first to run away and will not care about you."
The long-haired man smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. With Brother Zhong here, isn't it easy to rob a plane?"
…
"By the way, Captain Void Blade, I saw in the information you sent me that it says that the pure-blooded dragon in the Roaring Falls is a 'core creature'? What does this mean?"
In the cabin, Xue Jing asked.
"Hmm..." Xu Ren leaned against the wall, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Just like the creatures at the junction have 'core organs', each junction itself also has its 'core'."
"This 'core' could be a living thing, a plant, or something else."
"To explain this, you first need to understand that the border actually has a concept similar to 'life and death'."
Xue Jing asked doubtfully: "Life or death?"
Void Blade nodded: "Yes, life and death."
"The junction where the core is still there is 'alive'."
"The living border will constantly undergo various changes, such as the expansion of the border. This is a type of change that will cause the area of the border to continue to expand and erode the living area."
"That's why we need to place 'monitors' at the border. We must observe the border at all times to respond to changes that may occur at any time... Otherwise, for example, the roaring waterfall you are going to visit may suddenly experience time acceleration or time jumps. The pure-blooded dragon species inside may still be a juvenile now, but may become an adult tomorrow."
"If we don't find an adult pure-blooded dragon in time and let it escape into the human world and invade the urban area... it will be a catastrophic disaster."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "What about 'death'? Will the border disappear if someone dies?"
Void Blade shook his head: "Once a border appears, it will never disappear... At least for now, no disappearing border has been found."
"The so-called death of the Junction refers to the destruction of the core of the Junction."
"Once the core is destroyed, the border will die, and there will no longer be such sudden changes..."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows: "So, if I kill that pure-blooded dragon species that should be the core creature, the roaring waterfall will be 'dead', and there will be no need for the monitor?"
Xu Ren groaned, "... That's indeed the case."
"But I suggest you not to have such thoughts."
Xu Ren said tactfully.
"A pure-blooded dragon... Even in its infancy, its danger level is at least level 6. It could even be level 7, depending on the capabilities of its core organs."
Xue Jing waved his hand: "Hey, I was just talking casually, just joking, how could I really do such a thing, I don't want to die."
Xu Ren nodded: "I'm glad you understand."
The mandrill next to him felt something was strange and was about to say something.
At this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded in the cabin.
"Captain! The radar shows that something is approaching the aircraft at high speed!"
"There is a reaction to the dragon's biological force field. It seems that... someone has implanted the 'Dragon Wing Device'!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ren and Mandrill's expressions changed.
"He's approaching quickly without saying hello. He doesn't have good intentions." The mandrill touched his chin and spoke.
Xue Jing's eyes moved: "The person who implanted the dragon wing device... could it be the sky pirates?"
Mandrill frowned. "Sky Pirates? There are actually Sky Pirates in the Outer Ring? And we ran into them? What do they want to do?"
Xu Ren thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they are here to rob."
The mandrill asked in confusion: "Robbery? There aren't any valuables in the plane, right?"
Xu Ren said calmly: "They are not targeting the things in the plane, but the plane itself."
As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and gave Xue Jing a rather strange look.
Xue Jing felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Captain Xu Ren, why are you looking at me?"
Void Blade looked strange and said, "Nothing... I was just thinking, we didn't encounter any sky pirates when we came here."
Xue Jing's mouth twitched.
He knew that Void Blade was not suspecting that he was in collusion with the Sky Pirates.
