Fang Plover gently put down his control gloves. When the dragon hunter's eyes flashed with dark red light and he pulled out the long knife from the incomplete construct, the latter trembled slightly, and there was a tiny, tooth-searing sound from under the body, like broken glass. The sharp sound.
Fang Plover stood not far from these wreckage. Under the dim light, this was not the first time he took a close look at these 'creatures' that looked like they came from the abyss - the Nightmare Furnace - the incomplete body was covered with dark metal, growing along the skeleton like tentacles. , covered in layers, occasionally revealing a trace of dark red light, but it was fleeting, as if there was still magic power flowing under this body.
The aesthetics of this thing seem to be completely different from the style of this world, or in other words, it should not belong to this world.
This thing seemed to have some kind of paradoxical relationship with the dragon hunter in his hand, and he actually had some vague guesses about the origins of the two, but he couldn't get a definite answer at the moment.
The skeletons of three or two of these things were lying scattered in the cabin. The one in front of him was leaning against the cabin wall, with a black hole on its head, revealing a gray-white... The gem - exactly the same as the one placed under the dragon hunter's helmet.
Fang Plover put his hand on the cold gem, and he seemed to feel a chill through the thick fabric of the glove, but he quickly retracted his hand, just like the things he had inspected on other ships, There is no extra gain here.
He then straightened up, looked around silently, and realized that he couldn't stay here for too long.
But at this moment, the deck under Fang Plover's feet shook suddenly, and the originally stable hull seemed to suddenly tremble, as if it had plunged into a turbulent zone. However, the huge capital ship of the Shadow Man is difficult to be affected by the turbulence in the sea of clouds, not to mention that this is the center of the battlefield. They have not moved since they were blocked by the Chosen One's fleet.
He was slightly startled, and subconsciously cast his gaze in another direction. The bulkhead there had opened a hole in the previous battle, and the wind above the sea of clouds was blowing in from that place. Looking out from there, looking past the smoke filling the battlefield, a dazzling brilliance was blooming from the distant horizon.
Like a bright sun, rising slowly from the clouds, its scorching brilliance makes people's eyes hurt. Fang Yu suddenly realized something and put his hand on the bulkhead. A translucent cloud wave swept across and hit the side of the ship. In the violent shaking, the scattered objects in the utility room almost rolled down. All over the place.
But Fang Yu didn't realize it, and the successive flashes of light lit up the sea of clouds, and Fang suddenly remembered what was there - the huge fleet of shadow people was turning, and they had obviously noticed the changes in the battle situation on the ground - it was just that direction...
In that direction is the fleet of the Red Jackets of Jeflett.
Both sides involved in this war seemed to realize at this moment that the end of the war was coming. Jeffrit's musketeers resolutely piled their last chips on the card table, and they were launching a desperate attack.
Intent to delay the movement of this huge fleet——
Fang Yu felt a slight feeling in his heart for a moment. In his eyes, the flickering flames were like a quietly flowing river. The flash of light on the river only reflected the long history of the two worlds. Some well-known things have always permeated people's cognition. There is darkness hidden in people's hearts, but there is also nobility worthy of praise.
Like pride and prejudice, ambition and greed, but there is also beauty, goodwill, and desperate bravery.
He let go of his hand again and tried to maintain his balance. The tilt under his feet did not return to its original state, but intensified further. Everything in the cabin trembled slightly and made a buzzing sound. Some unfixed shelves were slowly sliding to the other side. There were some noises all around. Those sounds seemed to come from all directions in other cabins. Come over.
It was dull, slow footsteps, and Fang Plover was very familiar with those tunes - it was the clumsy footsteps of the nightmare furnaces. There were at least a dozen or even more nightmare furnace structures approaching. He didn't know if he was exposed, but it sounded like not every one of those footsteps was coming in this direction, and some were even moving away.
Then there were two or three low explosions, and the shock wave generated by the roar seemed to be conducted along the hull and extended in this direction. Fang Yu was slightly startled, and suddenly realized something. This place was not far from the core cabin. It might have been the movement caused by Hongye and the others.
After figuring this out, he immediately pulled out the communication crystal hanging from the pendant of the necklace from under his collar. But just as he pulled out the crystal, the dark pendant was already tinged with a layer of flickering red light.
Fang Yu immediately pressed his thumb on the crystal. He only felt that the surface of the crystal was slightly hot, but what came from inside was not Hongye's voice - but Kaka's partner, the girl who seemed to be called "Six Shadows". sound:
"Captain Ed, they found us..."
"I don't have time to say anything, be careful..."
The voice suddenly stopped, and the red light on the crystal suddenly returned to the dark surface. Fang Yu was slightly startled when he looked at the crystal. In his impression, Hongye and Miss Nightingale were not people who would lose their measure in critical moments. One of them was an elite trained by the Oak Knights, and the other came from the red-coated Jeffreet. The team's reserve brigade will not make a fuss over the smallest things.
But the other party's tone sounded like he had encountered some terrible situation.
He hesitated for a moment while holding the crystal. Hongye seemed to be in trouble just as he imagined. But should he go to rescue him now, or should he just carry out Plan B alone?
Although Hong Ye's tone seemed to want him to escape, how could he invade the magic cabin without cover?
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, and almost unconsciously took out the clockwork fairy from behind, still intending to try the first possibility. But he had just made this move, and before he could even take the first step, a cold, tingling feeling suddenly arose in his mind.
It was like a heavy hammer hitting his head. The severe pain almost made him scream immediately. The clockwork fairy in his hand could no longer hold it and fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled out of the old man's house. Far.
At that moment, he felt that he had lost control of his body, as if he had fallen into an endless dark space. He could no longer feel anything except his own thoughts, but only a cold , a sound like thunder was carved into his thoughts:
"Stop, little one."
Fang Yu suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, his pupils involuntarily dilated, and his face suddenly became extremely pale, as if he were dead.
This situation lasted for several seconds before he gradually came to his senses and the blood gradually returned to his face. After a while, he opened his mouth, as if he had woken up from a terrifying nightmare. Although it was only a short moment, he was already soaked in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water.
what is that?
Who is the owner of that voice?
Fang Yu panted and turned his somewhat rigid brain. The sudden dizziness seemed to destroy his thinking ability like a tsunami. He always felt that something was not right about his state today.
But the voice seemed so unfamiliar. It didn't come from everyone he was familiar with, nor did it come from the most terrifying enemies he had ever faced, Toragothos, Nicol Bolas, the many evil gods, or even It's a wanderer.
It was a slightly neutral, indifferent voice. His mind was buzzing, and he couldn't recall the previous details for a while.
…
The silver light shining in Bai Xue's eyes gradually dimmed.
There, the firelight reflected in the horizon gradually disappeared, and most of the sounds in the communication channel gradually became silent, as if something was suddenly missing.
Jeffrit's red-clad musketeers withdrew from the battle. As the last clouds dispersed and the flames were hidden under the smoke, the fleet that once existed has reflected their last will on this battlefield. .
But that's not the only person who is trying his best on this battlefield. The behemoth that spreads out like a shadow on the battlefield is slowly turning, like a giant beast breaking out of its cage.
The chains that bound it were breaking one by one, and the shimmering silver sails and the red blood sails coming from the cloud harbor were gradually intertwined with everything, but they were also gradually engulfed by the black tide.
Although those people had conflicts and had various disagreements.
But at least for this moment, they all faithfully carried out that final order.
There wasn't much surprise on the girl knight's face. She just turned back calmly and asked her herald: "How long will it take for the battle on the ground to end?"
But she didn't get an answer. Standing there was a slightly reserved aborigine.
The opponent was a temporary replacement sergeant selected from the lower ranks, because the original backbone had been dispersed to other ships and had replenished the losses in this battle.
Guangran and even Ignatz had already left, boarded different floating battleships, and became temporary commanders. They were not experienced captains, but they had to stand up and take charge.
The connection between the fleet and the fleet has been severed, as has the fleet and the ground.
The aboriginal looked at her with some embarrassment, his young face was stained with fire ashes, and his cracked lips were slightly slurping, but he was unable to give a useful answer.
"...On the ground, we have already invaded Elpaxin City...Miss Bai Xue, we may be able to win at any time..."
"but……"
It can also fail at any time.
Bai Xue put her hands on the side of the ship and stared at the gray-white horizon. The torrent of chosen ones had already poured into Elpaxin, and the firelight was rising layer by layer along the three-dimensional city. Taking up every block.
But the Shadow Man's fleet did not stop moving, which meant that victory was far from coming.
It might come miraculously the next moment, but it might never come.
She turned around and said in an understatement:
"It's our turn next."
"What?"
The young herald was slightly startled.
But Bai Xue did not answer this. The Jeffrit red team had already handed in the answer sheet, and their battle may have been meaningless, but at this time, the battle itself was no longer meaningful.
Life or death, for the North, their fate has never been so clear.
…
The moment the light of the communication crystal in his hand dimmed.
At that moment Liuying had already thought of everything, she turned around resolutely and pushed Wuxia in front of her out.
After all, she is also a genuine warrior. Although Nightingale is not as good as those rough warriors who are proud of their strength, she is still more than enough to face a weak alchemist.
She watched the young man with Yue Chen flying out and rolling into the opposite cabin in embarrassment, still holding the package tightly in his hand. She couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around again. .
She held the dagger in her hand, and the pair of jet-black blades were the trophies she won from a certain game of the Jefflett Red Team. That was her opportunity to join this elite team.
It was also her most glorious moment since she entered this world.
She once hoped that she could become one of those legendary beings, using the Jeffrit Red Team as a ladder, and finally ascend to the ranks that bestowed the highest honor, making those around her look at her with admiration.
But contrary to expectations, the superiors arranged for her a somewhat unreliable partner - although the partner was somewhat famous in this small circle, the few times they performed missions, they always appeared due to more or less nonsensical reasons. some conditions.
Liuying always attributed the reason to this because her partner was always so unreliable. Although she made several requests to the superiors, she was rejected every time without any surprise.
This made her hate it more than once - but at the moment when she turned around, she unexpectedly thought of the other person again - she couldn't help but think, if she could learn the same words as the other person at this time. The disapproving lines must look very handsome, right?
Unfortunately, facing the sweeping shadow, she found that she couldn't say a word.
"hateful……"
Liuying gritted his teeth and thought.
The monster was suspended in mid-air, staring at them with cold eyes. Its translucent hands had already passed through Hongye's body, causing the craftsman lady to kneel on the ground as if she had lost her soul.
The opponent's magical construct was discarded aside like garbage. The monster turned the thing into a pile of parts with just a wave of his hand.
She didn't even know what level of product this thing was. The cold aura exuding from the other person almost made her want to lower her head, or subconsciously look away, not to look at the other person.
That feeling was even superior to the dragon knights she had encountered before, although she also knew that it was almost impossible for the dragon knights in the guild to try their best when facing them.
But for some reason, Liuying had this weird thought in her mind. The other party's strength seemed to be far beyond the limits she knew - at least the limits she knew in this world.
The shadow swept towards her like a black hole. She tried hard to restrain the fear in her heart, raised the blade almost tremblingly, and threw one of the black blades at the opponent with force.
However, an incredible scene happened. The pitch-black dagger seemed to have passed through a mirror, refracted in another direction, and then stuck on the bulkhead with a thud.
The girl's eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat. She knew that she had no chance of winning, but at least she had to support the Yue Chen craftsman for a little longer. But her body had just begun to fade away, gradually turning into a shadow, but suddenly, it returned to its original state.
She felt as if she was being pulled into a very different space. There were neither elements nor the concepts of light and shadow in this time and space. She was surrounded by endless void, as if a natural idea emerged from her mind. ——
ash.
Then all consciousness was stripped away from her body, and the whole world gradually collapsed under her eyes, and finally turned into darkness.
At the same moment, Wuxia on the other side of the cabin did not actually see the whole process of Miss Nightingale being swallowed up by the shadow.
After all, for the chosen ones, life and death are just concepts. He was from a top guild like Yue Chen and had basic combat qualities. The moment he was pushed away, he had already realized what he was going to do.
He hugged the package in his hand tightly and rolled forward the moment he hit the deck. He tried his best to huddle up to reduce the impact on himself, but he was still hit hard.
Then he didn't have time to check his condition. The moment he stopped, he got up in a daze. He didn't even have time to discern the direction, so he ran out with the package in his arms.
He didn't know exactly where the magic cabin was, but judging from the information he had obtained before, it was pretty close, and there was no time to worry about anything else. All in all, it was more important to escape from the terrifying monster first.
Wu Xia asked herself that she was not a person who was always favored by luck, but this time fate seemed to be rare in favor of her. Not only did he find the right escape route at the first time, he did not run in the opposite direction in a daze. And the terrifying monster behind him didn't know whether it was held back by Liu Ying or for some other reason. In short, he didn't catch up immediately.
However, the luck was only temporary. He immediately realized that he was not out of danger, and soon the sound of heavy footsteps echoed around him - that sound was very familiar to him, it was the Nightmare Furnace construct of the Shadow People.
Although he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, he seemed to have broken into the wolf's den again. Because he was too nervous before, he seemed to have forgotten this matter - not only was the terrifying monster from before on the ship, but there were also nightmares everywhere who were searching for their whereabouts. Furnace assembly.
Wuxia immediately stopped and tried to find a way out before she fell into a tight siege. Miss Hongye and Miss Liukage were probably in danger at the moment, leaving him as a non-combat professional, not to mention facing the Nightmare Furnace construct. He may not be able to defeat even those shadow figures on the ship who have little fighting ability.
But he still reacted a little slower. The moment he stopped, two red lights flashed in front of him. Wuxia almost subconsciously shrank back as if she was blessed. Two gunshots were fired with two spinning rounds. Buckshot whizzed past where he had been standing.
The lead bullet hit a shelf not far away, raising two clouds of smoke amidst the roar. Wuxia coughed loudly twice, but a cold sweat broke out behind her. His thoughts changed quickly, and he immediately turned around and fled in the other direction. But before he could take a step forward, he saw a ball of fire emerging from that direction, and the tall outline of the construct outlined behind it.
"Done."
Wu Xia only felt a bitter taste in her mouth. He had previously been enthusiastic and thought that he could take on the important task and at least live up to the sacrifices of the two ladies. However, he did not expect that he would have broken into the trap in the blink of an eye.
He put his hand into the package and held one of the efreets. Although the mission failed, at least he still had the determination to die with these monsters.
But before Wuxia had time to enter the command to detonate the efreet in her hand, suddenly the tall construct in front of her passed by him in a single stride. The sword in her hand flashed, and black light came from the two nightmare furnaces in the other direction. Cut diagonally between structures.
In his shocked gaze, the flashing red light in the eyes of the two nightmare furnace structures dimmed slightly, and then their heads separated and slowly fell backwards.
Then a familiar shadow emerged from the mist and came to him. Wuxia recognized the other person. It was the planner and commander of their operation, the dragon known as Vanrik. The alchemist boy.
It's just that the other party's condition surprised him. Although the other party didn't seem to be injured, his face was horribly pale, almost like a legendary vampire, with no trace of blood on his face.
The other person seemed to have suffered a rare serious illness in just a short period of time. Not only did his face look extremely different, but his forehead was covered with sweat, and his soft black hair was wet and clinging to his marble-white forehead.
The other party could hardly stand still and had to rely on the support of the bulkhead to stand in front of him. He only raised his head and glanced at him with a faint look. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word. Syllables come.
"Ed? Are you okay..."
Wu Xia was so frightened by Fang Lian's demeanor that she almost forgot about the current situation and couldn't help but ask subconsciously.
But Fang Yu only shook his head weakly and gestured to the other party. He was so weak that he could hardly speak, but he could still use his eyes to make the other party understand what he wanted to express:
"I'm fine..."
"Leave it to me to take care of the situation, and you can finish what you need to do."
…
