Chapter 926: Little Bell? (Bonus Chapter)
Seeing Jiang the Mad Bull charging toward the carriage, everyone was frantic!
If the War Giant Rhino didn't succeed, but let Southern God wreck the train instead, the joke would be way too big!
Zhong Yingxue said urgently, "Red! It's because of red that Xiao Nan can't control himself!"
"Quick, use red to divert his attention!"
Wu Liang didn't have time to think about anything else at this point.
"Not convinced? Hit me! Savage Charge!"
The taunt immediately landed on Jiangnan, who was originally about to ram the carriage. He teleported out of sight!
When he reappeared, he was right in front of Wu Liang. He thrust his horns forward!
Wu Liang was sent flying over a thousand meters with a loud thud!
But that also drew Jiang the Mad Bull away from the carriage.
Liu Mang seized the opportunity and quickly enveloped Jiangnan in a cloud of colorful mist.
"Harem Technique! Happy New Year!"
The mist instantly spawned three thousand young ladies in red cheongsam with cloud patterns, surrounding Jiangnan.
"Heeheehee~ Brother Nan Shen? Is this your favorite color?"
How could Jiang the Mad Bull resist that? He chased after the young ladies, ramming wildly!
They were all popped back into mist.
Everyone looked at Liu Mang with speechless expressions. What on earth is inside that head of yours, seriously?!
Xia Yao seized her chance, quickly pulled off her black stockings, and dashed into the illusion!
Seizing the moment, she leaped onto Jiang the Mad Bull's neck, wrapped the stockings around Jiangnan's head to cover his eyes.
Now Jiang the Mad Bull felt his vision go dark, and the uncontrollable restlessness in his heart was suppressed!
Only then did he calm down!
He shivered violently!
Damn it all, what kind of side effect is this? Seeing red makes me want to ram something?
I knew it—when the duration expired, the horns didn't retract, and there was even a knockback effect. There was no way this was good!
Good thing Da Lang Mie covered my eyes!
Otherwise, I would have flipped the entire Steel Dragon City!
Jiangnan: (｡▀̿•‸•▀̿) "Sniff sniff~"
"Lang Mie, what did you use to cover my eyes? It smells kind of weird?"
Xia Yao looked guilty, her eyes darting away.
(๑◔﹏◔ิ) "Th-That's not important!"
At that moment, the Dragon Abyss Dark Night members all breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the demolished front of the train with extremely dark expressions.
They all stared at Jiangnan.
Although Jiangnan couldn't see, he still felt a cold breeze on his back and shivered violently.
"Th-There's no one glaring at me, right?"
Liu Mang propped his chin: "Southern God blew up the front of the train, so no objections if Southern God pulls the train, right?"
"Mmm, I think this suggestion is pretty good. Only one bowl of Kang Shihu instant noodles per hundred kilometers! Energy-saving and environmentally friendly!"
Jiangnan: (▀̿ㅂ▀̿٥)...
Are you devils? How heavy is this long Steel Dragon City? Who can pull it?
Besides, I can't fully mimic anymore!
"Ahem, I definitely can't pull the train, but we have our ways!"
……
Without the front, the Steel Dragon City careened wildly along the tracks at over Mach 1!
In the rear carriage, Liu Mang lay on the ground, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth.
(꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ|||)!
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Why! Why must my spirit be polluted again and again?!
On top of the carriage, a colorful mist had transformed into the image of Jiangnan's bull head, showing off his muscular figure.
Since Liu Mang knew nothing about animal language,
Xiong Er hid at the edge of the carriage, coordinating with the bull head's movements, mimicking bull speech and performing a double act.
(٥･᷄(エ)･᷅) "Babes, see my sturdy body? My strength is beyond your imagination!"
Behind the carriage, three to four thousand female rhinos formed a butt-pushing formation, driving the Steel Dragon City forward on the tracks.
They were screaming with excitement!
"Yay~ I like you! I like you!"
"Wind blows, cattle and sheep see the grass low; a rhino's life only loves one rhino!"
"I want to have your babies! Eight of them! Don't stop me!"
Xiong Er: "Ahem~ Then push harder! Whoever works the hardest gets chosen first later!"
So the female rhinos pushed even faster, even outpacing the speed of the train being pulled by an engine.
Zi Yuan watched this scene, her mouth twitching.
This actually works?
Using the female rhinos' admiration for you to make them push your train?
Jiang the Scumbag Bull!
Zhang San: (´-﹏-`٥) "So now the Steel Dragon City's power output is four thousand rhino power?"
Jiangnan was all smiles.
"What's that? You've never seen thirty thousand rhino power vector engines?"
"Black Dragon warships can fly!"
Only Liu Mang kept foaming at the mouth. Wasn't going on missions with Southern God supposed to be elegant?
Why is this so different from what I imagined?!
But at this rate, they should reach 056 soon, right?
……
In the heart of the uninhabited area!
Dozens of off-road vehicles sped along, kicking up trails of dust.
Any spirit beasts approaching the convoy were impaled like candied fruit on skewers by wooden spikes suddenly shooting up from the ground.
As the convoy passed, it left behind a field of beast corpses, a shocking sight.
On one of the off-road vehicles sat an old man in a fisherman's vest, work pants, and a fisherman's hat.
He also had a striped face mask, looking quite trendy.
"Xiao An, the notice has been sent out, right?"
Chen An was driving: "Second Uncle, I contacted the top man of the Wilderness Hunter Group, Brother Pao."
"In the Western Frontier uninhabited area, the Hunter Group is the biggest operation. He's something of a big shot, with plenty of poachers under him."
"The bounty message has been sent out, but when they heard it was Void Sea, none of them were willing to take the risk..."
Chen Dao'er sneered: "A bunch of money-grubbers, and they're putting on airs now?"
"Double the money! Double the bounty! Tell them, pay per head! Get one, get a share!"
Chen An quickly made calls to arrange it, and after a while, he hung up.
"Done. The Wilderness Hunter Group has accepted. The message is out."
"A few interested small hunting groups, and some lone wolves, are already heading toward Void Sea."
"But there's one condition."
Chen Dao'er frowned: "Speak."
"After it's done, the Chen family must guarantee their safety. And before entering the spirit ruin, they don't plan to make a move."
"After all, this uninhabited area is still under the Spirit Martial Force's jurisdiction. Jiangnan has the authority to mobilize troops. They're probably afraid Jiangnan will call in troops and mess them up outside."
"But once inside, completely isolated from the outside world, in a dangerous spirit ruin like Void Sea, it's normal for a few people to die, right?"
Chen Dao'er sneered: "These guys are cautious enough. Let them do as they please."
"I was thinking the same thing. The uninhabited area is full of outposts; it's too easy for Jiangnan to call in troops."
"No need to clash head-on with him. Void Sea location—how much longer?"
Chen An looked at the map: "Not long now..."
……
056 Outpost!
Many Dragon Abyss members stationed here looked bewildered as the headless Steel Dragon City was pushed in by a group of War Giant Rhinos.
After a harsh braking, the wheels sparked, barely stopping in front of the gate.
Now, a herd of female rhinos was led away by Xiong Er and Liu Mang to another spot. The rhinos looked over with hopeful eyes.
Liu Mang swallowed: "Brother Xiong? Wh-What do we do now?"
Xiong Er patted Liu Mang on the shoulder: "What else? Give them their reward, of course! Can't let the ladies push for nothing, right?"
"Brother, it's up to you!"
With that, he turned and walked away.
Liu Mang: ???
"This is too hard to imagine; I can't do it!"
But seeing the female rhinos surrounding him, Liu Mang's forehead dripped with sweat.
He could only use his imagination to reward them.
Although the front of the train was gone, at least the supplies were intact. They could change to a new front at 056 and continue.
As for Jiangnan, he didn't go into the outpost. He drove two big off-road pickup trucks out of the alternate dimension, with machine guns mounted in the back.
He was ready to head toward Void Sea's coordinates.
Just as Jiangnan was about to get in the car, Mountain Cat walked up to him and gently tugged his sleeve.
Looking embarrassed, she said, "You... come with me for a second."
Jiangnan's heart leaped. Could it be a farewell hug, or a courage kiss or something?
So he happily followed Mountain Cat to a secluded spot.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear the sound of a zipper being pulled and rustling.
Since his eyes were covered by stockings, he couldn't see what Mountain Cat was doing. That made it even more thrilling!
Jiangnan twisted his fingers shyly: "Eh? Right here? Is there enough time?"
Mountain Cat was taken aback: "Why wouldn't there be enough time? It'll be over quickly!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Nonsense! I'm usually fast, but in this kind of thing..."
Before he could finish, Mountain Cat's face turned blood red. She grabbed Jiangnan's cheek and pinched it.
"What are you thinking? Take this!"
She pulled a small copper bell from her chest. It had the character "Luo" on the outside and "Tianhong" inside.
The clapper was engraved with "Peace."
She threaded it onto Jiangnan's wrist with paracord.
"Wear it. I've had it on me since I was a child. It's a peace charm. Borrowed it to you. Remember to return it to me after you come back from Void Sea."
"Don't lose it! Or I'll kill you!"
With that, she turned and ran off.
Jiangnan took off the blindfold and looked down at the delicate copper bell on his wrist, his eyes soft.
Mountain Cat was worried something would happen to him in Void Sea.
So she gave him her own peace charm?
"Got it!"
He was about to put the blindfold back on, afraid he'd do something rash again.
But just as he was about to put it on, his expression turned strange. He stretched the stockings open and took a look...
"DA! LANG! MIE! You wrapped your socks around my head, didn't you?!"
Xia Yao: (｡˘•﹏•˘)
