Chapter 1744: Divide and Conquer
The call connected, and Mi Ye's anxious voice came through!
"Xiao Xue? Where's Jiangnan? How are you all? I saw from satellite footage that a continental plate crashed down in the rainforest area!"
"The Pacific Ocean, the seas - so many spirit realms are opening up, spirit beasts are already charging out, it's chaos!"
Zhong Yingxue took a deep breath: "Xiao Nan is still alive, just lost in the dimensional gap!"
A sudden burst of noise came through the phone!
Atop the lighthouse in the Abyss Nightless City, endless blood light blazed, rolling spirit pressure exploded forth, pressing everyone to the ground as they stared in shock toward the lighthouse!
Mi Ye on the balcony shone like a brilliant blood-colored star!
"If anything happens to Xiao Nan! I will make the Holy Star pay! I swear it!"
The chilling words came from Mi Ye's mouth!
Zhong Yingxue urgently said: "Sister Mi Ye, calm down first. Let me ask you, your level..."
Before she could finish, Mi Ye had already spoken: "I became Transcendent 5 days ago! Where to go? Who to kill?"
"The Rainforest Maze, right? Wait for me!"
Zhong Yingxue's scalp tingled. Sister Mi Ye really had become Transcendent! That meant she could actually be useful!
"Sister Mi Ye, don't rush. It's useless for you to come here now. The Pioneer Academy is under attack, and they're going after Jiang Jing!"
"Old Fire God can't handle it alone. If possible..."
Mi Ye squinted: "The Pioneer Academy, is it? I understand..."
Zhong Yingxue quickly said: "Sister Mi Ye! There's something I need to tell you in advance. The enemy attacking the Pioneer Academy is very strong!"
"Maybe even stronger than Transcendent. If you go, it means exposure. There's a chance you might not come back. You could also choose not to go, after all..."
Mi Ye took a deep breath: "When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up! And now I, Mi Ye... am one of the tall ones!"
"Mission calls! I cannot take a single step back, otherwise how could I face Xiao Nan's trust!"
"With Jiangnan gone, I need to take care of things at home for him. You all be careful. See you later!"
The phone was directly crushed. Mi Ye strode forward, blood armor gradually covering her body!
The blood-red high heels clicked crisply against the ground with a "ding ding" sound!
"After I leave! Close the Abyss Gate! If I don't come back, you will be the new king of this Nightless City!"
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, all the lighthouse glass shattered. Mi Ye transformed into a blood-red meteor and shot straight out of the Abyss!
Mei watched Mi Ye's departing figure, her eyes already reddening!
She shouted loudly: (งᵒ̴̶̷̥́kouᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)ง"My Queen! I await your return! You must come back alive!"
The blood-red meteor rushed straight eastward. The air was blasted apart, and the surging sea surface was split open by the blood light, carving a trench hundreds of meters wide!
On the sea, giant waves raged as sea beasts wreaked havoc. Vast groups of sea beasts could be seen stirring up trouble!
Countless space gates opened in the sky as well!
With a roar, the sea surface exploded. A giant Mosasaurus over a hundred meters long opened its bloody maw!
It roared to the sky like an angry dragon emerging from the sea!
But a blood-red meteor flashed past in an instant. The massive Mosasaurus body was smashed to pieces, its blood dyeing the sea surface crimson!
Mi Ye's eyes were filled with grim determination!
This time! I will surely stain the heavens crimson!
...
The Maya rainforest - still calling it the lung of the Blue Planet? Might as well call it the Blue Planet's failure. It was already a complete ruin!
Gabriel cursed loudly:
(zhe yi zhe#)"You all fight! I'm not playing with you anymore, you bunch of lunatics!"
With those words, he turned into a black streak of light and fled!
Igor glared: "Lein! You fight if you want! Don't believe I'll go report to Lord Carl later that you disobeyed orders?"
"Broken Brow Wei! Shen! Let's retreat, retreat!"
The Jue Ling pillar had already been pulled. There was no need to waste time with them here!
And there was that troublesome big bug too. If they kept fighting, they still couldn't take down Odin!
Kuopo had long wanted to stop fighting. He quickly followed Broken Brow Wei and Igor in retreat!
Though the Purification had begun, he had successfully infiltrated the Holy Star. Wait till I screw you all over!
Lein was furious. He glared at Odin, stomping his foot in anger!
(ꐦ°᷄yi°᷅)"Just wait! You just wait!"
They'd all left. If he stayed to fight alone, wouldn't that be asking for a beating?
He had no choice but to retreat first!
Meanwhile, purple poisonous mist gathered from the distant mountains, forming into Xiang Zhi!
She was terrified as she watched the rampaging Star-Devouring Giant Worm!
(#ŏ~ŏ#)
This was too dangerous! She'd better hide far away and lie low for a while, then...
Just as she turned around, Igor suddenly appeared behind Xiang Zhi, grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, and shot into the sky!
(ง⋟kou⋞)ง"Hey hey hey~ You..."
Igor looked down: "You're also part of the Holy Star, right? Ruiya was killed by Jiangnan. From now on, you're under my command!"
Xiang Zhi: ???
(*ﾟkouﾟ)"Huh? The... the organization still wants me?"
Back then, she was recruited by the Rui Sen and Rui Ya siblings. But it hadn't been long, and those two siblings had both been done in by her bad luck!
Are you sure you want me?
Igor raised an eyebrow: (•︠~•︡✡)"Why wouldn't we want you? You did well in the Rainforest Maze this time. It's Vivian's clone that caused the problem!"
"Our Holy Star has clear rewards and punishments. We'll give you a reward later. Don't worry!"
Xiang Zhi was stunned: "(ºkouº*)"Ah? There's... there's a reward too?"
I haven't done anything! I was just coasting the whole time, slacking off! This counts for a year-end bonus too?
Igor frowned: "What? You don't sound very willing?"
Xiang Zhi frantically shook her head: (´ﾟωﾟ)"No no no! I'm very willing! As long as the organization doesn't despise me. Long live our great Holy Star! Holy Star eternal!"
Igor nodded in satisfaction. Xiang Zhi, however, looked guilty!
(◔~◔ิ#)
Rui Ya and her brother died because they weren't strong enough. Igor was so powerful, he should be pretty bad-luck-resistant, right?
If slacking off gets me a year-end bonus, why not take it? Where else could I find such a great organization?
Seeing Igor and his group retreat, Odin also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a total loss!
At least they had wiped out the Thugs. Given the Parasite's abilities, it would have been troublesome in this situation!
Kuopo was also a useful asset!
But Xing Cheng still hadn't calmed down. She continued to devour the sky and earth like crazy!
"Eat! I'll eat you all to death! Give me back my meal ticket! Baby mad!"
Odin's eye twitched. He walked straight up to Zhong Yingxue!
"What just happened? What's the problem?"
Zhong Yingxue's expression was grave: "The Pioneer Academy is under attack. We need you to go support Old Fire God!"
"It should be that guy named Carl. He'll be very strong! Time is urgent! We can't let Jiang Jing fall into the Holy Star's hands!"
"Whether you go or not, decide for yourself!"
Odin took a deep breath, his expression cold: "Big Brother used himself to get me back. I can't let his expectations down!"
"I'll go support first. You all be careful!"
With that, his body turned into a golden light shooting straight into the sky, disappearing in an instant without a moment's delay!
In a flash, only Zhong Yingxue and her group were left!
Spirit beasts were wreaking havoc everywhere, total chaos!
Qin Shou scratched his head, looking anxious: "What do we do now?"
Xia Yao was restless: (งᵒ̌~ᵒ̌)ง"Xiong Er and the others still haven't come out!"
Hairclip Wei spoke: "Ring Wei is with Xiong Er and the others. The Chu Jing spirit realm shattered. The Rainforest Maze is no longer randomly teleporting like a kaleidoscope!"
"They're trying to break their way out!"
Zhong Yingxue made a snap decision: "The transfer work in Hua Xia isn't finished yet. The situation is tough. They need people to return and defend the city, help with the transfer!"
"We need to get back in time! Split up! Leave people here to wait for Xiong Er and the others to come out, then head to Hua Xia!"
"The rest of you go back to the country first. We have to bring Xing Cheng back. She can be a huge help!"
Everyone nodded. This was indeed the only viable plan for now!
With Jiangnan gone, Zhong Yingxue shouldered the burden and took charge!
Tieniu raised his hand: "I'll stay with Wu Liang to wait for Xiong Er and the others. Otherwise, if I'm with you guys, once my bad luck kicks in halfway, it'll hold us back!"
"Who knows what trouble we might run into!"
The Thugs were dead. Wu Liang was still half-dead, but his muscles were starting to twitch occasionally!
It looked like he might be waking up soon. Remembering how many Lucky Little Cherries Wu Liang had stuffed down, everyone shuddered violently!
Zhong Yingxue could only nod: "Alright. Once you meet up with Xiong Er, use the Walkie-Talkie-Chan to keep in touch!"
"Remember to watch out for meteorites!"
Hairclip Wei: ???
Walkie-Talkie-Chan? Is that me? Tieniu swallowed hard. He was going to get hit by meteorites?
Mila and Lan rushed over to Xing Cheng's side, gently coaxing her!
(。ớ₃ờ)ھ"Cheng Bao'er, don't be mad! Don't be mad, okay? Don't eat here for now. We'll take you home to eat, okay?"
Xing Cheng finally snapped out of her berserk state, her eyes filling with anticipation!
"Are there this many cookie crumbs at home too?"
Qin Shou almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Damn cookie crumbs!
You're calling these hundred-meter-long spirit beasts cookie crumbs?
What kind of weird stuff does Boss Nan usually feed Xing Cheng?
Mila quickly said: "There are! Plenty! They're everywhere! First, turn back into human form. You're too big, it's inconvenient to go back!"
Xing Cheng got even more excited. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard!
Then she said weakly: "I... I don't know how..."
Mila's expression froze completely!
Don't know how?
=͟͟͞͞(eye_eye‧̣̥̇)
Can't change back into human form?
In her extreme rage just now, Xing Cheng had instinctively reverted to her original form. But she hadn't figured out how to turn back into a human!
Lan swallowed: "So this huge lump... how do we take her back to Hua Xia?"
Zhong Yingxue gritted her teeth: "Then don't change back! Just eat all the way home! The Blue Planet is already like this anyway, it doesn't matter if the terrain gets more damaged!"
"Xing Cheng isn't slow. Everyone, get on!"
Everyone: ???
You call this thing a vehicle?
So they left Tieniu and Wu Liang behind to wait for Xiong Er and his group. Zhong Yingxue and the others climbed onto Xing Cheng's scales!
With the roar of the earth, Xing Cheng opened her mouth wide and ate her way forward, charging straight toward the land of Hua Xia, full of energy!
This scene was even clearly visible from space, like a giant Snake Game on the Blue Planet!
Zhong Yingxue looked back. The rainforest ruins had gradually faded into the distance. The hole in the sky had mostly sealed up too!
Her eyes were filled with hope and longing!
Xiao Nan! Everyone is waiting for you to come back!
You have to make it!
