“While there’s still some light, we should be able to reach the highest point of the Tian Wei Giant Beast, Jizhou (Polar Day)!”
Jizhou (Polar Day) is the highest temple on the Tian Wei Giant Beast, where a large number of Dragon Head Cannons and aerial weapon airships—donier—are stored.
Caliber is justice, and everything within range is truth!
Thinking about it this way, it became reasonable for the GBL Church to store some weapons.
Going to Jizhou (Polar Day) was a continuous climbing process, and along the way, there were countless believers who wanted to escape by taking a donier from Jizhou (Polar Day), but without exception, they were all controlled by Lotus, going mad and crazy.
“Lotus is not unsolvable; if one has a strong will, they can break free from his control, but very few succeed…”
Isha Dula’s eyes dimmed; even if Lotus was defeated, how much of the original GBL Church would remain? Probably less than one in ten.
“As long as people are still here, there is hope.”
In contrast to Isha Dula, Ophelia was radiant and full of energy at this moment, as if she had an inexhaustible supply of strength.
She had discerned the true “blue truth” from Aden Bard and Held great expectations for the future of the GBL Church.
The sky was dim, and the bright moon ascended; the group, panting, finally arrived at Jizhou (Polar Day), the GBL armory.
After slaying a group of chaotic Light Elf Levos and octopus-transformed believers, Ye Lin quickly laid out a carpet, set up a tent, and pondered who would sleep next to him tonight; it should be Siate, who was holding the greatsword, right? Should he melt the Hidden Dragon Greatsword for it?
But in a blink of an eye, Siate and the others had already walked towards a donier airship.
“Boss, can’t people live inside the airship? Do you prefer a tent?”
Mo Mei shook her bun-shaped hair, looking very confused.
“Damn, donier? Then my tent?”
“It was a waste, you had the interest, we didn’t want to disturb you.” Yuena and Siate both looked smug.
The kind and pitiful Mai Lu had her mouth covered by Siate…
Dinner was red bean soup and baked flatbread, cooked with the fire in his hand, exuding a fragrant and rich aroma. After eating and drinking their fill, the few people chatted casually but soon fell into a deep sleep.
Tomorrow, they should arrive at the Second Vertebra to face that terrifying “Apostle,” the Water King from Solaris!
In the middle of the night, after a rustling sound, Ye Lin put on his clothes and crawled out of his sleeping bag, standing by the airship window, gazing at the stars and the bright moon. If he didn't have the habit of smoking, he would definitely light one now to match the atmosphere.
In a certain quiet direction, a terrifying and chilling aura faintly emanated, and the coldness assailed him, his thin clothing unable to stop the chill throughout his body.
All the assumptions were, in the end, just “assumptions”; to put it more excessively, before seeing Lotus, everything was false and illusory!
“Not sleeping, running out alone to look at the moon?”
At some unknown point, Siate quietly walked beside him, stretching and waving to the moon, her charming and lovely appearance completely different from during the day.
“I have an idea, I just fear Luo Zong won’t cooperate…”
He extended an arm and pulled Siate in front of him. Just as she thought Ye Lin was going to get handsy again, he unexpectedly spread her arms and said in an almost sacred tone: “You jump I jump!”
“Huh?”
“You jump, I jump, meaning we’ll stay together through life and death.”
Siate leaned her hands on the edge of the airship window and looked down; the height was only about three meters. With their strength, jumping down with their eyes closed wouldn’t be a problem. She naturally didn’t understand the story behind this meme, but the words were quite touching.
“Tell me your plan, how to save the GBL Church and at the same time thwart Held’s conspiracy.”
Siate leaned back. Although this person was very mischievous, he always had an unexpectedly calm ability at critical moments. Leaning on him a little should be fine.
“Well, that depends on whether Lotus cooperates or not. His ideological realm is already different from us mortals; I’m just afraid he won’t listen…”
“Tell me first, don’t bite my ear.”
“Lotus is oviparous; he has the ability to be reborn through his eggs. If we can reach an agreement with Lotus, kill Lotus, but leave the eggs…”
“So that’s it. So the difficulty of the whole process is how to communicate with Lotus and prevent Barn from messing things up?”
“Mm.”
He bit Siate’s earlobe, and her body trembled slightly, her neck seeming to stiffen without moving, but her cheeks were rapidly flushing and heating up.
Turning her body, he saw Siate’s eyes tightly closed, only her eyelashes trembling slightly, her pretty face alluringly flushed, and her lips pursed.
“Don’t… what if they wake up.”
Her right index finger blocked his advance, and she quietly pointed to the few people wrapped in sleeping bags, a strange mix of panic and shame stimulating the emotions in her mind.
“They’re all asleep. Your plumpness is getting curvier and curvier, it’s just that the fashion shorts are a bit in the way. Don’t you want to consider letting me help with some justice?”
“Shameless! Your perseverance in being handsy astounds me…”
Siate symbolically hammered his shoulders a few times, then closed her eyes and resigned herself, wrapping her arms around his neck, responding very awkwardly.
In the darkness, Isha Dula blinked, a smile playing on her lips. Mo Mei’s pretty face was flushed as she quietly turned her sleeping bag, pressing her face into the soft padding. Yuena turned on her side, clamping her legs together. Mai Lu and Ophelia… were sleeping soundly and deeply.
Mi Gao got drunk last night and was sleeping on his back next to Mai Lu, all four hooves in the air.
“It’s a pity the location wasn’t right last night, otherwise, we might have been able to practice the legendary skill, Twin Swords Unison.”
Stretching, Ye Lin suspiciously stared at Yuena and Mo Mei; why did they both look sleepy and tired?
“We’re about to face Luo Zong Lotus, what’s wrong with you two? Can’t sleep in a strange bed? Or insomnia?”
“Mm, insomnia. It’s hard to sleep soundly tens of thousands of meters up in the sky, I feel anxious.”
Yuena yawned perfunctorily, listlessly taking the millet porridge Mai Lu handed her and saying thank you.
“It will still be a while before we reach the Second Vertebra by donier. You can catch up on sleep.”
Isha Dula was fiddling with the donier airship’s controls. Ophelia didn’t know how to fly it, so it was fortunate that she had come along.
“No need for that, we’ll just wash our faces and perk up.” Mo Mei mumbled, her sidelong glance slightly displeased.
“donier, this thing can sell for a lot of money.”
He set his sights on the donier in the Jizhou (Polar Day) armory. Flying vehicles were relatively rare in Arad; the more well-known ones included the Dark Elf’s mogaduo.
Kelly had wanted to get a War Lord from a Mechanic, but the design was too complex and required too many materials, so she gave up after starting.
If he could get a donier and Dragon Head Cannons for Kelly to analyze, she might be able to tinker with some new things.
Especially the unique Laser Dragon Head Cannon, a weapon with terrifying range, it was definitely a divine artifact on the battlefield.
Rumble rumble…
A deafening roar came from afar. Not far in front of the donier, a red tentacle emerged from the ground and moved, wantonly cutting through the neatly paved ground of the temple. The powerful destructive force made the Adventurers wail.
It wasn’t until they reached the First Vertebra that they saw the Adventurers who had come up for the ruins, but their situation was not very good…
Yuena was horrified at the sight, exclaiming, “Oh my god, these are Lotus’s tentacles! The Second Vertebra, where he descended, is nearly a thousand meters away!”
“Isha Dula, use the weapons to strafe that giant black octopus below! Mo Mei, condense your Nen into a ball and throw it down!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Mo Mei was very excited; she finally had a chance to try a new use for Nen. She quickly condensed a highly compressed Nen wave in her hand and threw it at the constantly rotating black octopus.
Boom!
Tat-tat-tat-tat!
The donier’s built-in gunpowder bullets and Mo Mei’s Nen wave hit the giant black octopus at the same time. Almost instantly, the octopus that was driving away the Adventurers was torn to pieces.
