Chapter 1164: Chapter 896 Giant Slug and White Dragon_2

"In my archives, there are indeed records of more terrifying situations: these forbidden creatures still bow to some higher, smarter beings. We must avoid their spiritual influence," Ming Gongqiao warned.

Xu Cheng almost vomited, but fortunately, she had learned the Breathing Method. The light of the Solar Ripple surged through her meridians, awakening Xu Cheng’s own life energy.

With each complete cycle of breath, her mood calmed a bit. Yan Duo represented not only the sun but also symbolized the countless stars in the universe, providing power and heat to each galaxy, representing the greatest extent of light and hope.

She looked at the sky at the rampaging flying Winged Fiends and those silently watching Burning Eyes. It was the mental gaze of that huge eyeball monster, coupled with the mental interference field of the giant beast on the ground, that had "stolen" Xu Cheng’s soul directly before—she couldn’t let that happen again.

"Quack!" Xu Cheng let Bubble grab her shoulder.

Bubble was terrified but complied.

Feeling the weight of Bubble’s small hand on her shoulder, Xu Cheng suddenly became confident. She pulled the control stick forcefully, piloting the Sky Patroller at a speed and precision she hadn’t thought possible.

A strange light burst from Xu Cheng’s soul, enough to astonish and shock the Burning Eyes emitting evil gazes from afar!

Their tentacles swayed swiftly, transmitting unfathomable messages to each other, and they all retreated, temporarily not daring to gaze at Xu Cheng’s soul.

At this moment, the Giant Slug on the ground suddenly moved.

It emitted extremely loud, eerie booms from the ground, enough to make everyone on the Shuttle Machine tremble. Its staggering body began to move, as if the whole black land was suddenly lifted, crashing towards the Sky Patroller.

"Run!" Lianhua shouted heart-wrenchingly.

"Too unlucky!" Shahua lamented. It must have been her misfortune Magic Power at work; why would such a giant beast take interest in their little Shuttle Machine?

As the Giant Slug moved, intense energy and gusts swept the Sky Patroller, making the entire vessel hum for a while, and Xu Cheng suddenly felt the Shuttle Machine’s speed dropping.

Xu Cheng’s heart sank into her stomach, her nerves nearly aflame, desperately operating the Sky Patroller.

Get everyone out of the forbidden zone, leave alive!

At this moment, a streak of white flames tore through the air below. A giant White Dragon suddenly descended from the clouds, seemingly a sudden presence with no prior warning from Shahua.

This dragon had aging, pale scales, wings spreading wide enough to almost cover the beast on the ground. Its eyes were massive and entirely crimson, soaked with indescribable mortal hatred and mania. Its roar tore the reality of time and space, its mythical claws shredding the beast below, each action making the ground rumble.

Taking this moment, Xu Cheng accelerated the speed, striving to escape alive with them.

"We’re almost out of the monster’s range!" Lianhua shouted, nearly crying with joy. Just another 2000 meters and the giant slug crawling on the ground would be left behind, and the White Dragon would no longer be seen.

Who was that ancient, manic White Dragon? Why did it battle the Giant Worm? These thoughts spun in her mind, replaced in an instant by the more pressing reality before her.

"Roar!" The Winged Fiends soared from the fog on the ground like a startled flock of birds, directly attacking the Sky Patroller.

"Quack!" Xu Cheng told everyone to hold on, dealing with wave after wave of monsters. The forbidden zone was fraught with danger, only the bravest dared to leave the safe zone.

She accelerated first, then suddenly changed direction, inertia causing the crew to lurch, heartbeat tense. Xu Cheng plunged the Shuttle Machine into the mist below, grey-white weapons whistling and rolling between the wings, hundreds and thousands of pale-skinned dead stood in the dead-silent wilderness around, staring fixedly at the suddenly descending Sky Patroller in the forbidden zone.

"Why are we descending?" Lianhua yelled.

Xu Cheng operated silently, the Winged Fiends diving straight from above, madly chasing the Sky Patroller, yet Xu Cheng continued to dive, the distance between the windshield and the ground getting terrifyingly close, as if she’d crash in the next second!

Then, Xu Cheng suddenly braked forcefully just 10 meters from the ground, then raised the ship’s bow in a peculiar stance, propelling herself like a cannonball toward the sky again.

"Gah!"

"Awooo——"

"Roar!" The Winged Fiends were yanked by the Sky Patroller’s "V"-shaped dive and ejection; some wanted to fall, some wanted to fly upward to continue the chase, suddenly thrown into chaos, crashing into one another.

Ming Gongqiao maneuvered the machine gun backward, firing at the chaotic Winged Fiends, bullets streaming toward them, marking conspicuous wounds on their festering skin, completely sapping their ability to chase, with one crashing to the ground and quickly getting overwhelmed and torn to pieces by the crawling white corpses!

Xu Cheng lifted the Shuttle Machine upward, crew members turned to see the mist, beasts, and monsters being left far behind, each finding it hard to believe. The explosive adrenaline made them tremble all over, their faces flushed.

"We did it!" Lianhua exclaimed excitedly, "We flew past that beast!"

"Woo woo..." Shahua leaned against the seat, wiping sweat with her hand.

"Flying out!" Bubble was exhilarated.

"Excellent skills..." Ming Gongqiao assessed.

Xu Cheng took a deep breath; learning the Breathing Method made each breath meaningful, always calming her mindset and doubling her strength. She precisely controlled the Shuttle Machine’s power/thrust ratio, ensuring it remained stable in its aerial posture.

While they were still in excitement, Ming Gongqiao heard a strange sound from the engine, immediately having Lianhua check.

After inspection, Xu Cheng found the body severely damaged.

When the Giant Slug moved, the abnormal energy field it emitted damaged the Sky Patroller. Not only that, but Xu Cheng’s amazing tactical maneuvers not only shed all the monsters but also overloaded the engine, resulting in abnormally high temperatures.

The entire power room’s fire suppression system had automatically activated, striving to cool the overheated engine.

"Quack quack——" Xu Cheng realized the Sky Patroller needed to stay and be repaired, but they were flying over the forbidden zone, where was a place for rest? In peacetime, she could land at the nearest airport and let the coolant bring the engine back to the proper working temperature.

But now, she has to grit her teeth and pilot the Sky Patroller to Sevaburg, unable to stop along the way.

Hope the people there are still alive, and there are enough mechanics to fix the Sky Patroller...

...

On the other side, in Sevaburg.

Leutenant Gabriella was writing documents in the old fortress command bunker, choosing her words carefully, hoping to make the grammatical adjustments the first time and not waste precious ink.

An officer named Petrov knocked on the door, entered after the lieutenant’s promise, and took the hat with a red star off, holding it in his hand.

"Lieutenant," he said cautiously, "——since the last invasion event, comrades’ morale has dropped even further. There’s been no news from Petersburg, and not even a word from other bunkers in six months. Many are beginning to wonder... have we been forgotten?"

"We haven’t been forgotten, we’ve only been isolated, the routes are unsafe, but the Envoys will come," Gabriella said calmly.
