Unscientific Monster

Chapter 272: Could it be Chong Chong's Epic Enhancement?

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

Seeing Tongtian Whale and Bai Canglong, Shi Yu chuckled. He didn't expect that Laoshu Beast was responsible for guarding the entrance to the secret realm of Dragon Palace City this time.

At this time, under the surprised expressions of the friends, Tongtianjing asked again: "Excuse me, your friend, is it here?"

"Oh, I yell it."

The conversation between Shi Yu and Tongtianjing made Zou Tianwang, Yu Shu, Yin Zhengfan and others confused.

But the next moment, their expressions all froze.

huh huh huh~~~

Hurrrrrrrrrrrr~~~~

Under Shi Yu's call, the surrounding temperature dropped almost instantly.

Wisp after wisp of cold wind lingered on the land without warning, freezing the air in an instant, causing frost crystals to dance all over the sky.

Outlined by the wind and snow, a gigantic monster with a body length of tens of meters suddenly spread its huge wings and landed here, just like a myth in the world.

"Roar!!!"

With a roar, the strong ice stone body covered with blue and purple dragon scales stretched out, and the bitter cold wind swept the dragon's might and spread in all directions——

boom! ! !

With a roar, the surrounding time seemed to be frozen, and the Tongtian Whale and the mutated giant kun froze for a moment, then looked at this extremely huge dragon.

"Good sleep."

The Frost Dragon felt refreshed, and just yawned just now. After being summoned by Shi Yu from the Ice Dragon Ruins, it swung its thick tail. The dragon's eyes looked around and stopped on the Sky Whale and the Mutant Giant Kun moment.

"Wuhu!!"

Seeing the Frost Dragon, Xiao Bailong's eyes widened instantly, and he felt the power of his parents directly from him.

so strong...

The Tongtian Whale was also silent for a moment, feeling the abnormally terrifying power fluctuations from the ice dragon, and knew that he was definitely not the opponent of this senior.

"Dragon Palace City has arrived."

The Frost Dragon opened his mouth slowly, looking for Qi Shi Yu's figure.

"It's here."

Beside Shi Yu, a cute creature like a puppet cat appeared, and it also yawned and looked at the familiar surroundings.

"Are you the senior ice dragon who followed the Emperor of Time?"

At this moment, with the appearance of the ice dragon, General Whale asked respectfully.

An old monster that can survive from that era deserves its respect.

"Following the Emperor of Time? That's right."

Binglong calculated in his mind that it was caught by Mu Huiyin, and Mu Huiyin was also a general under Shidi's command. It is not bad to say that it followed Shidi.

"Senior Ice Dragon."

Next to him, Legend of Bahai also said: "It's the first time we meet, I am one of the legendary legends of the ancient Donghuang Kingdom, Yuzhihui."

After all, the Ice Dragon participated in the Totem War and was the first generation of sages who helped mankind establish a dynasty. The Legend of Overlord Sea also respects these old predecessors.

"Uh, Legend of Fish, hello." Binglong looked at Legend of Bahai and the giant kun under him, and felt that the strength of this pair seemed ridiculously strong, not inferior to any general under Shidi's command back then.

It couldn't help showing kindness, alas, the current human beast master is really strong, if it didn't break through, it really didn't plan to come out of the ruins.

At the moment, perhaps the appearance of the ice dragon caused such a big change that the totems in the depths of Dragon Palace City were all alarmed.

It is not a trivial matter for a strong man with a totem-level life breath to suddenly appear on his own site.

"Roar!!!!"

A moment after the ice dragon came out, the sky of Dragon Palace City also changed again. Countless strong winds and black clouds condensed. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a huge cyan dragon with a body of nearly 100 meters was revealed. Canglong's physical characteristics are more obvious...

Snake body, crocodile head, lizard legs, eagle claws, snake tail, antlers, fish scales, beards on the corners of the mouth, beads under the forehead, its face is silver-white, the whole body is basically blue, and the body reveals a shocking beauty full of power , the whole body is gorgeous, all parts are extremely coordinated, the graceful posture is more full of charm, and the eyes maintain an incomparable majesty.

"Master Sea Dragon King!"

Seeing the appearance of this divine dragon, General Whale opened his mouth quickly, and tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him also surrendered.

"Father." Little Bailong trembled all over.

At the same time, the Frost Giant Dragon also raised its head and met Sea Dragon King's eyes, just for a moment, Sea Dragon King laughed heartily.

"Welcome Senior Ice Dragon to attend the Dragon Palace Banquet."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The thousand-year-old house mother dragon smiled.

"I was the one who interrupted."

It has a smile on its face, and another smile in its heart. As expected of Shi Yu, you have connected yourself.

The Dragon King of Dragon Palace City actually respected him quite a bit, not bad.

It should be rewarded!

"Senior Ice Dragon, this place is simple, how about we move to my Dragon Palace and talk?" Sea Dragon King suggested.

"Okay, sorry to bother you." Binglong said.

"Then it's decided, Ba Hai, shall we go together?" Sea Dragon King looked at Legend of Ba Hai. He and Legend of Ba Hai are actually old friends. burden.

"I won't go, I will take this group of young people to prepare for the next Dragon Palace banquet." Legend of Bahai said calmly.

"Alright then, Haig, welcome the distinguished guests from Donghuang." Sea Dragon King said to Tongtian Whale.

After finishing speaking, it looked at Shi Yu in the crowd and said, "Your Excellency Shi Yu, please come together."

The Sea Dragon King knew that the Ice Dragon must have a lot to do with Shi Yu, and it was also very curious about why the butterfly gave its scales to Shi Yu, so Shi Yu must also meet.

"Then please trouble Lord Sea Dragon King." Shi Yu said respectfully, and then said to Legend of Ba Hai: "Senior Ba Hai, then I will go there first."

Legend of Ba Hai nodded.

The next moment, Shi Yu was sent to the Frost Dragon by the jewel cat. The Sea Dragon King laughed, turned and led the way, and took the ice dragon and Shi Yu to his Dragon Palace.

After a while, there was only the disappointed little white dragon and the jewel cat who was about to sweep Dragon Palace City left.

There are also Zou Tianwang, Yu Shu and others who look confused.

Abba, baa, baa... Can anyone tell them what the identity of Shi Yu is?

...

The Dragon Palace of the Sea Dragon King.

A sub-secret realm belonging to the secret realm of Dragon Palace City.

In the huge secret space, Sea Dragon King arranged rare and exotic fruits to welcome the ice dragon.

Compared with the two behemoths, Sea Dragon King and Frost Dragon, Shi Yu is much smaller, which made him a little tired, and even wanted to give these two guys some doubling skills.

"Senior Ice Dragon, have you decided to join Dragon Palace City yet?"

As Lin Feng's pet beast, although the strength of the Sea Dragon King may not be inferior to the Ice Dragon, the Ice Dragon's qualifications are here after all, and it also respectfully calls it a senior.

"It's decided. I don't dare to be a senior. I will ask Lord Sea Dragon King to let me rely more on it in the future." Binglong said.

"I just don't know, what's the procedure for joining Dragon Palace City."

"It's not a big deal, as long as you swear in the Dragon God's ruins under the witness of Dragon God and other Dragon Kings, you will not betray Dragon Palace City, and you will be harmed with Dragon Palace City, and you will be prosperous together, haha."

Sea Dragon King introduced to the Frost Giant Dragon.

"That's easy to say."

The Frost Giant Dragon didn't take it seriously. As a force that has existed for an unknown number of years, Dragon Palace City has never declined, even though the Dragon God has been replaced many times. Rong Rong Rong Rong Rong will not be damaged.

"Senior Ice Dragon's joining Dragon Palace City is a major event. Now some Dragon Kings are not in Dragon Palace City. Why don't we hold the joining ceremony grandly after the Dragon Palace Banquet is over? Tomorrow, Senior Ice Dragon will watch the Dragon Palace Banquet with me first, let's see How about the descendants of Tianjiao in Dragon Palace City?"

"Every year at the Dragon Palace banquet, there will be many sea forces coming to join the Dragon Palace City. At that time, Senior Ice Dragon may also be able to pick some good followers."

"Ah, good." Ice Dragon pondered in his heart, didn't he also come to seek refuge in Dragon Palace City, alas, it's good to be strong, it's cool.

The Sea Dragon King laughed heartily. The Dragon Palace Banquet is really not an important thing for them, the Dragon Kings. Basically, they take turns to host the Dragon Palace Banquet. To put it bluntly, this Dragon Palace Banquet is a meeting for the younger generation of Dragon Palace City to show off their talents and strengths to each other. , including some potential sea beasts who came to Dragon Palace City.

At that time, some old overlords, including it, the Dragon King, will offer some rewards for these juniors to compete.

Of course, in this process, a group of human beast masters brought by Legend of the Bahai can also participate, and they can even show their talents to get the approval of some ocean overlords. At that time, the rewards may not be some resources but was entrusted to his heirs.

More generally speaking, the Dragon Palace Banquet is a meeting where the ocean overlords of the Dragon Palace forces show off their children's achievements, held every five years.

Compared with the totem ice dragon joining the Dragon Palace City, the Dragon Palace Banquet is definitely not worth mentioning.

"That's right." Sea Dragon King suddenly looked at Shi Yu.

Shi Yu also stared at Sea Dragon King with wide eyes.

"Your Excellency Shi Yu took Senior Ice Dragon to Dragon Palace City."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Shi Yu smiled shyly.

"This kid is not bad. It's lucky that the heir of the overlord can become his pet beast at the Dragon Palace banquet." Long Ma still misses Shi Yu, and immediately speaks kind words for Shi Yu, just like boasting about her own family. child.

Since Mu Huiyin's heroic spirit recognized Shi Yu, it must have recognized it too.

It wouldn't hurt to find more powerful cubs for Shi Yu.

"Oh?? Your Excellency Shi Yu also came for the Dragon Palace banquet?" Sea Dragon King was surprised.

Shi Yu said: "That's not true, it's mainly entrusted by the Butterfly God to visit Lord Sea Dragon King and lead the way for Dragon Mama."

Sea Dragon King didn't understand, but was greatly shocked: "Dragon, Dragon Mother?"

Ice Dragon:?

"Come, who is your mother, forget it, you can also be called senior." Binglong couldn't stand it anymore, and said bluntly.

It's a big yellow girl, so it's called influence on reputation, it's fine before, but now, it's about to become the female dragon of the Queen of Dragon Palace City, it can't let Shi Yu take advantage of it anymore, it has to control its reputation.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future.

"Ah, here." Sea Dragon King was silent, a bit confused about the relationship between Shi Yu and the ice dragon.

Theoretically speaking, Shi Yu is only a 20-year-old young man, so it is difficult to have a relationship with Binglong, an old man who has lived for more than 2,000 years.

But it looks very intimate?

"This kid has been approved by the heroic spirit of General Mu Huiyin, the number one general under Emperor Shi's command. General Mu Huiyin is also my beast master. Generally speaking, his future is immeasurable, and he is one of the few with me at present. There must be someone related." Binglong sighed.

"The relic of the heroic spirit?" Sea Dragon King was startled suddenly.

It used to be Lin Feng's pet beast, so he had naturally heard of the remains of the heroic spirit left by Emperor Shi.

"Yes." Ice Dragon nodded.

"Hahaha..." Shi Yu scratched his head and said, "Luck, I never thought I would be so lucky to be recognized by General Mu Huiyin."

"Little friend Shi Yu doesn't need to be humble. To be able to become a member of the third and eleventh games at the same time at this age, he must be a dragon and a phoenix among the people. The future is indeed immeasurable." Sea Dragon King said.

The third bureau, the breeding bureau, the eleventh bureau, the archaeological bureau, it knows.

Shi Yu was jointly recommended by these two bureaus, and he was also recognized by the heroic spirit of the general under Shi Di's command. In Sea Dragon King's view, Shi Yu's talent potential can completely explode those legendary sons.

Coupled with the relationship with the ice dragon...

"If friend Shi Yu is interested, I can recommend you a few descendants of the overlord with good talents. Oh, by the way, my little white dragon is also a good choice, but it's a pity that it is lazy by nature and doesn't want to follow human masters." Beast Master, otherwise, I would definitely recommend it."

Sea Dragon King said politely, but at the bottom of his heart, he didn't intend to let Bai Canglong follow Shi Yu. Although Shi Yu's talent potential is good, but after all, the talent of telepathy, even if he can listen to history... is really almost impossible.

Throughout the ages, a beast master who has no telepathic talent can become a title-level powerhouse, able to fight against totems, let alone a legendary beast master. If it is possible, the Sea Dragon King must hope that his heirs can follow like Lin Feng. Such a super genius.

"Ah, thank you, Lord Sea Dragon King. There is no need to force this, and everything must be based on the third prince's thoughts." Shi Yu hastily declined, fearing that the Sea Dragon King would let him contract the little white dragon.

Reject Ugly Reject Ugly Reject Ugly...

The success rate of teaching super-level skills is extremely low. It will take years and months to pull it up. Breeding the insects and insects, Shi Yu, is enough trouble. Now he only wants a pet beast with the will to dominate.

At that time, cooperate with the infinite devour of the mutated Kun, and take off directly.

You can be a gambling dog again and be happy.

Little Bailong, you want whoever you love.

"It's a pity." Sea Dragon King also sighed.

"Then see if there is a suitable partner in the Dragon Palace banquet." It said.

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded, exactly what he meant, and he will be healthy again at that time.

Well, he didn't have time to look at the bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals just now.

All to see!

"By the way, you just said that you were entrusted by that butterfly to visit me, is there something wrong?"

Sea Dragon King suddenly realized and asked.

It has not been in touch with that butterfly for a long time, and it is useless to leave a voucher for the other party, and the other party has not come to play with it. Now I have given the voucher to someone else, what does it mean?

"This..." Shi Yu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Actually, I have a pet beast that evolved under the blessing of the Butterfly God. Before the pet beast evolved, it swallowed a dragon ball by mistake, causing There were some abnormalities during the evolution, even the Butterfly God couldn't figure out who the owner of the dragon ball was, it thought that the Lord Sea Dragon King might know, so it asked me to ask."

"Huh?" Sea Dragon King was taken aback.

"The one that can be blessed by it to evolve...is that pet beast of yours, the green cotton worm?"

"Yes, it was green cotton worms at first, but now, it has evolved into a butterfly with the help of dragon balls."

"Can you summon it out to have a look?" King Sea Dragon said.

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded.

The next moment, huge blue sky ripples appeared behind him, and Chong Chong was summoned by Shi Yu normally.

"Hmm~~~" The extremely gorgeous Butterfly of Fantasy appeared, and it exuded a faint dragon power all over its body, making Sea Dragon King's full attention instantly focus on it.

Then, I was taken aback suddenly.

Although it is only a rough observation, how does it feel that this butterfly is stronger than its carefully cultivated son...

how can that be.

"Hmm~ (Sir Sea Dragon King, Dragon Mama.)" After Chong Chong came out, he also greeted Sea Dragon King and Frost Dragon.

Frost Dragon:?

Sea Dragon King:? ? ?

"Come on, who is your mother, don't use my dragon beard to make a fool of yourself in the future!!" The frost dragon yelled.

Sea Dragon King didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked, only felt that the expensive circle was really chaotic.

Fortunately, little red pupil was not summoned by Shi Yu, otherwise, calling "Mom" and letting the Sea Dragon King see it would shock it for a whole year.

"Cong Chong." Shi Yu greeted, and the next moment, Chong Chong nodded and immediately activated the Dragon of Imagination. After that, the surrounding space split open, and countless space cracks emerged.

In the clouds in the sky of the secret realm, a phantom of a body is looming, gradually forming the body of a dragon. It is a huge oriental dragon with a huge dragon-shaped body covered with blue and white dragon scales. It is constantly swaying and hovering in the sky. Sparkling and dazzling.

Under its gaze, on the opposite side, the Sea Dragon King was immediately taken aback.

The next moment, with the roar of Shenlong, the incomparable phantom of Shenlong flew towards Chongchong in an instant, and entwined behind it. The Butterfly of Imagination's breath became stronger in an instant, as if it could easily crush Bai Canglong.

This change made Sea Dragon King feel even more outrageous.

It seems... Bai Canglong didn't tell Sea Dragon King about his frustration in front of the four pet beasts including Eleven and Chongchong.

"Master Sea Dragon King, this is the phantom of the dragon that my beast has manifested after activating the power of the dragon ball." Shi Yu said immediately after Chongchong used the dragon of fantasy.

At this moment, the Sea Dragon King looked at the huge body of the dragon wrapped around Chong Chong, and fell into deep thought.

"This……"

Its brain recalls quickly, and it always feels that it has perceived similar power fluctuations somewhere.

"Master Sea Dragon King, can you recognize the race of the owner of the Dragon Ball?"

"Could it be..."

Sea Dragon King stared at the fantasy dragon, his expression became more and more dignified, and finally, he asked incredulously, "Could it be a mirage dragon?"

"Mirage Dragon???"

Shi Yu was stunned, isn't the mirage dragon covered with golden-green dragon scales? ? ?

Wait a minute... The mirage dragon in his impression seems to be from the earth, let's listen to the Sea Dragon King first.

Sea Dragon King said: "That is a mysterious, powerful, arrogant and self-admiring dragon. It seldom shows its true colors to others, but prefers to maintain a low-key existence in the form of birds, shellfish and even dragon balls."

"The mirage dragon is a race that is very close to mythical creatures, possessing powerful brute force, but what the dragon clan really fears about the mirage dragon is its endless and extremely profound magic power. Through this magic power, it can easily create a fantasy world that deceives all creatures. , and changing the weather with ease."

"Therefore, it is also known as the phantom dragon. The most important thing is that I know so well because the mirage dragon is a dragon god of a certain generation of Dragon Palace City in the Totem Age tens of thousands of years ago. It is branded in the dragon god ruins. With the will of the Dragon God, I have been to the ruins of the Dragon God, and even confronted the will of the Mirage Dragon God, so..."

"But how is it possible..."

It looked at Shi Yu and Chongchong, and said, "How could the dragon ball it absorbed be the Mirage Dragon God? How could the Dragon God's dragon ball be left outside?"

"Fuck." The Sea Dragon King said, although the Frost Giant Dragon didn't know what was going on, but he looked at Chong Chong in surprise at this time, this little guy evolved by absorbing a Dragon God's Dragon Ball? ? ?

Although there may be hundreds of generations of dragon gods in Dragon Palace City, no matter which generation of dragon gods they are, they are all super dragon clans at the demigod level. Their dragon balls... are priceless treasures second only to mythological resources.

"This." Hearing what Sea Dragon King said, even Shi Yu and Chongchong were stunned.

Fuck.

Dragon Ball of a certain generation of Dragon Palace City Dragon God? ? ?

Damn.

When the jewel cat got this dragon ball, the energy of this dragon ball had been exhausted to the point where it became a level 4 resource. But is the owner of this dragon ball so awesome? It turned out to be a demigod like Meteor .

"Hmm~~" Listening, Chong Chong was excited, no wonder he had acquired such a powerful skill as the Dragon of Illusion, so the owner of the Dragon Ball is the Dragon God who is proficient in illusion?

"Don't you know how the dragon ball of Mirage Dragon God was lost in the outside world..." Shi Yu asked.

"I don't know. During the reign of the Mirage Dragon God, it can be traced back at least nearly 100,000 years ago. Who remembers what happened at that time? I don't know how many generations of Dragon Gods have been replaced during this period. However, there are mirage dragon gods in the ruins of the Dragon God. The will of the Dragon God Dragon God exists... this is certain..."

"When Senior Ice Dragon enters, maybe you can look for it carefully." Sea Dragon King looked at Ice Dragon.

"Ah..." Binglong always felt that something troublesome happened again.

At the same time, Chong Chong was ecstatic.

Could it be...

This time... is it his own epic enhancement? ? ?

grumble! ! ! ! !

Cool and crooked.

Leader, baby boy, just wait and see!

"Can we also go to the Dragon God ruins? I'm an archaeologist, maybe..." Shi Yu said.

"Hmm!!!" Chongchong quickly persuaded Shi Yu, unable to do anything about it.

Although it also wants to get more power from the mirage dragon, the problem is that it is a mythical relic. If we are told to collapse, the ice dragon mother will not be able to keep us!

I'm afraid it wasn't the second day of Dragon Palace City that they started fighting against Donghuang.

Donglong was friendly and was directly destroyed by Shi Yu.

It's better to say goodbye, let the ice dragon mother see it.

"Forehead……"

Shi Yu fell into deep thought.

Forget it.

"Not very good. Only the totem level can enter the Dragon God Ruins, or when the time comes, I will ask other totems about Mirage Dragon God. Maybe they know something inside. After all, I... After all, I came to Dragon Palace City relatively late." Sea Dragon King said .

"Then please, Lord Sea Dragon King."

"Small idea..." Sea Dragon King still looked at Chongchong in amazement, no wonder this butterfly is better than the same level of God-feathered Phoenix Butterfly, better than its son. It exploded and successfully evolved, which is simply luck.

Right now, Shi Yu never expected that when he came to Dragon Palace City, he would actually find out who the owner of the dragon ball that Chongchong absorbed was...but unfortunately, it was the Dragon Clan nearly 100,000 years ago. What happened at that time? The blind thing.

"Lord Sea Dragon King——!!!"

"Lord Sea Dragon King——! Something is wrong!!!"

In the secret realm of the Dragon Palace, the Sea Dragon King, the Frost Dragon, and Shi Yu are chatting with each other.

Outside, there was a sound of mourning suddenly.

The Sea Dragon King frowned, and saw in the distance, a huge brown turtle was swimming towards it with all its strength.

"Prime Minister Turtle, what's the matter?"

"Master Sea Dragon King, two days ago, several teams that went to Dragon Palace City to participate in the banquet were attacked by unknown monsters." The old turtle said with a mournful face.

"Now, General Yasha, who went to investigate, is seriously injured and dying."

Hearing this, Binglong and Shi Yu were taken aback.

Fuck, which sea beast is so courageous that it dares to attack the members of Dragon Palace City.

There are eight totems in a Dragon Palace City, and one of them is a demigod. Are you kidding me?

"Huh?? This kind of thing? Why didn't you report it earlier??" Sea Dragon King looked angry.

"In the beginning, I thought it was a sea beast that didn't have long eyes and went berserk, so General Yasha took care of it himself."

"I finally found out that it was a hegemony-level poisonous dragon. However, General Yasha fought against it and succeeded in gaining the upper hand, but who knows, who knows... Seeing that General Yasha is about to kill the enemy, The Overlord Poison Dragon directly mutated into a totem-level monster, and Yasha Overlord was no match for the enemy after that, and he was dying of severe poison."

"Currently, that poisonous dragon has completely disturbed the passages in the surrounding sea area. The toxin it emits has almost polluted the entire sea, and it is still moving aimlessly in the sea."

"What???" Hearing the old tortoise's description, the Sea Dragon King flew his beard and stared red.

This year it was its turn to hold the Dragon Palace Banquet, and what happened? ? court death! !

"That guy, what's his origin???" Sea Dragon King was furious, not believing that a dragon overlord without any origin would suddenly mutate into a totem.

Prime Minister Gui said: "We started investigating it from the very beginning when it attacked sea beasts. The dragon clan doesn't seem to be the overlord living in the ocean, but a rare intermediate creature between sea reptiles and terrestrial beasts. From the Seven Islands..."

"The most important thing is that it is totally irrational and only has the desire to destroy. Moreover, we cannot purify the toxins it releases."

"According to Dr. Sheng Bei's analysis, the toxins on it should come from the radiation of taboo weapons developed by humans, which belong to radiation toxoids, and it may have mutated into its current appearance because of exposure to radiation..."

"Master Sea Dragon King, what should we do now... You can only act, otherwise, the Dragon Palace Banquet will not be able to be held smoothly, and there are already many sea beasts who have come to participate in the Dragon Palace Banquet. A way to purify toxins."

"Seven Islands? Forbidden weapon radiation??" Sea Dragon King's eyes became even redder, and the Frost Dragon and Shi Yu next to him almost stopped breathing. Shi Yu was dumbfounded. This description, Godzilla?

Binglong groaned in his heart, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he first came to Dragon Palace City.

Shi Yu also groaned in his heart, and he also couldn't understand why he was so unlucky. He finally came to Dragon Palace City. He wanted to pick a top-quality beast easily by relying on the power of the dragon. The poisonous dragon is making trouble, I hope... it won't affect the Dragon Palace banquet.

Thanks to the leader of the big guys like Diandianchimao, Lu Liwg, Yu Sheng I don't know where to go, etc.!
