Although she was somewhat unhappy that Bai Lu had revealed her customized prescription so recklessly, Fu Xuan's expression softened the moment she turned to Kong - although she had decided to keep a straight face in official occasions, every time she thought of the future in the hexagram plate where she and Kong were so harmonious that they were about to "melt into one", she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.
Predicting one's own marriage destiny might be an inevitable experience for every fortune teller. The fortune telling with Kong in the past few days has made her regain some of the anticipation she had for fortune telling in her girlhood. It is a blessing that she no longer has to deduce Luofu's heavy future and dark star map.
Not only did she calculate that the Industrial and Manufacturing Division would be able to resume contact with the outside world, she also calculated that her and Kong's progress would be very rapid, so she happily showed up to exchange intelligence with him.
"Hmm? The Institute of Gewu? Oh, it's quite close to the pier and the border?"
It seems that personal computing tools and intelligence gathering capabilities cannot compete with official big data after all. Luo Fu can still get the information that Silver Wolf cannot get. In a sense, Fu Xuan has saved the fig leaf of Taibusi.
"Kafka is deep inside the Industrial Manufacturing Division. We can confirm that she is safe. What is more worrying now is whether the criminals who are also locked in the division will use the unbroken ovens to further their 'business'."
"You're worried about that? Indeed, the pure energy of the oven can be supplied to most objects, whether it's equipment or life, the compatibility and conversion ratio are quite good."
In order to make the terminology closer to that of the "Corporate Theory Department" doctoral students and avoid misunderstandings, Fu Xuan avoided the traditional vocabulary of Xianzhou when he was talking, but it was a bit unnecessary.
"Can it be absorbed by life?"
Sora had a bad feeling again.
Closer to Jianmu...Death
Endless elemental energy...⑶
Isn't that a perfect fertilizer?
"They want Jianmu--"
"Boom!!"
As if responding to Kong's judgment, on the platform of the Workshop facing the door on the side of the Star Chariot, the brick and tile texture of a furnace node emitted golden light and splashed, and in front of the carload of people, a giant branch with a diameter of more than 50 meters emerged - the golden green leaves on it were still blooming with active light and some small beautiful spores.
"...Quick, take the anti-miasma powder!"
He made a prompt decision and asked everyone to take Bai Lu's medicine.
367. Show your head and kill it in seconds
The giant branches that grew diagonally went all the way up from the platform, splashing out countless metal fragments and artificial soil, with a faint icy blue sheen in the debris - fortunately, Xingcha was far away and was not hit by the splashing soil and rocks, but it was still quite scary.
"If I'm not mistaken, the branch just now pierced through the central anti-gravity device of the Industrial and Construction Company platform—"
In addition to the phase gates, there are also some physical connections between the caves, which look like stairs leading to some kind of temple. The thickness of the platform below ensures its structural strength.
But the overlapping part of the Industrial and Manufacturing Division and the Danding Division is very fragile. Once it loses its buoyancy, it will not be able to bear the weight of the entire suspended platform. It should break soon.
"I suggest you notify the central control area immediately and strengthen the gravitational field surrounding the keel to prevent it from falling too quickly... Strange, why didn't a large-scale collapse occur?"
After one or two modules were separated, the main part of the Industrial and Construction Company might be saved, but what surprised Kong was that the Jianmu branch that pierced the platform actually held the entire platform that had lost its buoyancy. Although the puncture was severely cracked, it seemed that as long as the Jianmu did not absorb further energy to grow and become stronger, it could support the "big tray" of the Industrial and Construction Company and maintain a delicate balance to prevent it from disintegrating.
The hexagram had already predicted the future growth of Jianmu, and this was an inevitable part, which was also good for the Immortal Boat. Fu Xuan did not show any surprise, but explained to Kong confidently:
"Similar situation. "4% off purchase: ⑨⊥√０●si魃咝er￥⒐ˇ℃坽The five situations happened thousands of years ago. Initially, the layout of Luofu Gesi Cave Heaven was designed to coexist with Jianmu. "
She seemed to find the train crew's frightened expressions quite amusing, and she satisfied her vanity by having expected it.
But she soon realized that the triggering of this crisis prevention measure was also a loss of face for Xianzhou, and there was nothing to be proud of. Unfortunately, she couldn't explain to everyone why the platform was broken. She still looked calm and calm:
"...But everyone knows what happened later. We set out on a journey to hunt down the Plague Originator. Although the earlier design was retained, it served more as a warning. The function of assisting Jianmu to coexist with it also became a precaution."
"If this collapses with one foot, you'll definitely be dead, right?"
Paimon felt a little scared when he saw the platform in the clouds that was pierced by branches like a candied haws.
"?" Fu Xuan turned to the tiny creature floating in the air, wondering why she, a flying creature, would be afraid of falling to death.
"…If it exceeds the platform's bearing capacity, we will disconnect the joints of the modules and let them continue to float with independent engines. You don't have to worry about falling off in the middle of the operation… Of course, it is better not to easily set foot in those places where the alloy has been stretched to the point of peeling off."
"I will not let that kind of tragedy happen."
Liu Yun, who had just been frustrated by the "elderly filling out forms", pushed up his glasses and said, "Taibu, I believe the general has already explained it to you?"
"Well, the wanted warrant has been lifted. As long as the Star Core Hunters don't wreak havoc on the Immortal Boat, I won't pursue them no matter where they go afterwards."
"...No, I'm not referring to that group of people. I'm referring to that child. It's dangerous down there. If she gets hurt, please bear with me."
Kong did not proactively raise such preventive requests, but Liu Yun prided himself on being meticulous and spoke the ugly truth upfront.
Although Fu Xuan looked delicate and cute, in some ways she was also very much like a fairy boat person: "...if she can't bear the burden, the flowers that die will only be buds. She must have understood this before agreeing to take the risk. If anything unexpected happens, you don't have to worry - I will protect her a little bit."
However, Lord Taibu had no idea that the general got Bai Lu onto the pirate ship with just one sentence: "You can go out with them and learn more"... Even Jing Yuan, who was doing the bad things, couldn't tell whether she was mentally prepared or not.
Bai Lu naturally did not hear the whispered conversation between Liu Yun and Fu Xuan. The moment the Star Raft touched the platform, she impatiently slipped down, fearing that the Raft would turn around and lock her back in the yard.
"Hmmmm, such a strong evil spirit... Karma is everywhere... There are at least seven or eight demonic spirits wandering around nearby..."
But she regretted it the moment she fell, and sneezed because of the smell of the evil spirit.
"Is this the berth closest to the Danding Division? Do you want to consider changing it? I don't think it's that comfortable!"
"What's wrong? Lady Dragon Girl, this is the closest berth to the Dan Ding Division. If it's far away, we won't be able to evacuate the cave at any time."
Fu Xuan also frowned: "...but it does have a stale smell of evil."
"...You mean the smell of blood?"
Kong and Shen He, who had a more sensitive nose, smelled another scent. They exchanged glances and thought of the two star core hunters who were killing people in front of the battle.
But there was no smell of burning in the air, and it was obvious that they had not met here, but were either deeper in the water or waiting for the right moment near the pass.
"No, no, it's the smell of a sick person, the smell of strange buds growing in rotten wood, a bit like mold... even worse than the smell of medicine foam in the water." Bai Lu flicked her tail and pinched her nose, her face full of disgust.
Dan Heng took out his spear. To Chi Ming, the smell of karma and the so-called demonic yin was more like an energy field that would stimulate the sixth sense. It was the "malice" of the pathogen given by the ancestor of plague. But in the eyes of those who did not resist this vitality, it seemed like some kind of loving caress.
As an incompetent emissary, Kong could not feel the same sense of crisis as Bai Lu even though he was surrounded by the energy of the pharmacist. Instead, he was most sensitive to the lingering iron smell in the air, probably because this was the smell he was most familiar with on the battlefield.
Not only did a demon pass by nearby, but a war also broke out there—
Judging from the concentration, those corpses were either blown away from the edge when the platform vibrated, or directly became part of the air here.
...It’s better not to tell Xiao Sanyue about this terrible guess, otherwise she will vomit it out.
"Someone has already taken action...Everyone, be alert, there are quite a few red spots ahead."
In addition to the large red color, there are also small amounts of green and yellow mixed in. It seems that someone is trapped near the Tiangongtai and the main furnace of the baking furnace.
"Red dots?"
At some point, Fu Xuan, who was supposed to stay on the Star Raft to "supervise the battle", also walked leisurely to Kong's side - now the height difference between her and the golden retriever made her look like a pink cat with its chin exposed to a cat toy.
"It's just a means of reconnaissance. Taibu, why did you follow us? There will be miasma leaking ahead."
"I can still accompany you. I can't let you all take all the risks. With Lady Dragon Girl's elixir protecting us, it won't matter even if we go deeper."
She found a good excuse, and her face did not show the desire for space that she had yesterday, but her words were still full of twists and turns: "As long as the effectiveness of the 'Dharma Eye' is fully utilized, six hours will be more than enough. Doctor, you can let me deduce any questions you have--"
"The goal is clear. We must eliminate the remaining pollution sources as soon as possible, kill the evil creature, find Kafka, and preferably reunite with Sam first. The signal here has been completely cut off, and the nearby platforms have also suffered serious damage..."
After hesitating for a while, Sora threw the holographic map to Jackdaw and asked her to help identify a few Creation Baking Furnaces whose contents had probably been lost:
"Let's go check out the main furnace if we're on the way... Without the energy from Sui Yang, Jianmu will definitely not continue to expand unless it pierces your backup energy reservoir. But if the branches stick around and can't be cleared away, it will probably take a lot of time for Luofu to restore its ability to sail, and it will also take time to recover the 'fuel'."
"Doctor is worried about the Legion?"
"Well, I'm afraid that if you stay here for too long, not only will there be dirt growing on the deck, but there will also be some bastards outside who want to take advantage of you... And it's not just the Legion that should be worried about."
Those Buli people have extremely strong mobility in the universe. Since they have such a great hatred for the Immortal Boat, there is no guarantee that they would not hear some news and come here to gather and plunder.
Fu Xuan once again showed an air of "as expected". It seemed that she and Kong had the same idea, which proved that she not only had a deep affinity with the doctor, but also her own IQ was quite impressive.
“…H-Sneeze!!”
However, he didn't feel happy for long, as Fu Xuan's little nose felt tense and he had to turn sideways to avoid spraying his saliva on Kong's arm.
"Strange, strange, even though I have the Dragon Girl's elixir to protect me, I am still affected by this evil fog."
"No, you're just more sensitive to 'similar body tissues'."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The smell of blood in the air is getting stronger..."
Kong turned around slightly and gestured to Alan and Lao Yang - they were the only two in the team who understood what he meant in an instant, and they soon dispersed to the left and right. Cocolia, who was quite experienced in battle formations, stopped March who wanted to ask the specific reason, and shook her head, telling her not to ask any more questions.
Liu Yun and Shen He frowned at the same time and looked towards the reverse slope to the north. They passed Kong and Fu Xuan first and stood at the head of the line. After they passed this slope, it was just as Bai Lu said, the evil spirit was frighteningly heavy.
Even when it got closer, it had turned into a very targeted "killing aura". The only thing that could be compared to it in the vicinity of Liyue was the remnants of the Demon God.
A powerful individual - in an instant, the entire red mass in the front disappeared, leaving only the punctuation marks of neutral creatures. There seemed to be a blue light passing through the sky, like the floating light of a star raft, but more sinister, like a comet's tail brushing against the platform and moving away. It was not clear from this angle.
"…The ice element is fluctuating."
Shen He rolled up a talisman: "Master."
"...Liuyun, help us take a look."
What most warriors hate is fighting on the reverse slope. Not only is there a height difference, but there are also large blind spots in the position closest to the high point. But Kong made a simple arrangement, and the Immortal King immediately threw out a mechanical creation, which slid towards the unrecognizable platform like a crane flying close to the water.
In just a few seconds, the bright green aircraft arrived at the designated location, ready to transmit the image back -
But before the image solidified, the shadow in front of Liu Yun turned into a pink mosaic, and then a blue light shot up into the sky like a crescent moon, splitting the mortise and tenon structure of the roof -
Before they saw the terrible blow, Liu Yun's work was cut into pieces. The pink light was a pair of captivating eyes, as if it belonged to some enraged monster.
"……what."
Liu Yun gave a small exclamation.
Although it was not a particularly valuable item, it was very agile and incorporated Liu Yun's ingenuity. It could also autonomously seek benefits and avoid harm to evade some unknown attacks. But this time it was destroyed before it could trigger the "AI avoidance" function.
“Devil Yin! It’s Devil Yin——” 奺◆∽⑷⑻尓∨si〖杉⒊澪⑤搜●-索↑∫quN: Bai Lu’s eyelids trembled: “Someone fell into Devil Yin in front of me in the clinic. When he was crazy, his eyes would glow. It’s a serious illness! What a fierce guy, it doesn’t look like the kind that can be beaten and then cured!”
"Is it an evil creature? Have we been discovered?"
Alan suddenly became excited.
Although he saw the sonic boom attack just now and was sure that he would be killed in one blow, it did not prevent him from feeling that he could finally be "useful" -
"...Huh? What happened? I just saw 'it' turn into a red dot on the small map for a moment, and then turned back to yellow."
Xiao Sanyue once again focused her attention on a strange place. Even this time, Kong was distracted by the crescent-shaped energy flow, but she was studying the small map intently.
"Hmm? Are you sure the punctuation has ever turned from yellow to red?" Sora turned around and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm definitely not mistaken. I'm not color-blind, okay!"
Sanyue became a little uncertain again after hearing what Kong said. Because of her uncertainty, she weakly flicked her fingers towards Kong and Shen He who was at the front of the line, drew a circle in the air, and put a layer of six-phase ice on them.
Shen He looked down at the pale blue crystal protecting his chest, and felt that it was somewhat similar to the thing that had just streaked across the sky——
