Chapter 312: Chapter 295 Driving Cannon Fodder_1

At the skull of the avian.

Fu Wangchen, like a stone carving, had not moved for a long time.

With his eyes closed, he didn’t even summon the Spiritual Power Strong Shield, exposing himself directly to the Mysterious Fog.

"Hiss!"

The Alien Power that corroded flesh and blood clashed against his exposed skin but was forcibly kept at bay by his fierce physique.

A Golden Bee Insect suddenly reappeared!

Resolved to ignore it, Fu Wangchen still kept his eyes firmly shut, unheeding.

"I will guide you, lead you out of this morass of Mysterious Fog."

The Golden Bee Insect spoke in human tongue.

Unmoving as Panshi, having sat still for a long while, Fu Wangchen’s brows furrowed.

Finally, he opened his eyes and gazed calmly at the Bee Insect dozens of feet away, saying, "First tell me, who are you?"

"Jiang Chao."

"Where do you come from?"

"The Second Realm, Sky Water Swamp."

"The ones who appeared before, were they lured here by you using the Bee Insect?"

"Yes."

At this point, with a complex expression on his face, Fu Wangchen hadn’t expected such straightforward and unequivocal answers, without the slightest hint of concealment.

Having already figured out the situation, he pondered for a moment and murmured quietly to himself: "Sky Water Swamp..."

This force from the Second Realm wasn’t as well-known as the Demon Sect or Sword Tower; although he had heard of it, the impression wasn’t deep.

Jiang Chao? He had never heard of him before.

A moment later, he opened his mouth to inquire again, "Who was the person I gravely injured?"

Pang Jian didn’t hide the truth: "From Eastland, Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom, son of the Break Armor Marquis Li Wei, Li Yuanchen."

"Dead?"

"Dead."

After a brief exchange, Fu Wangchen sank into silence.

After another moment, he asked, "Is the death of Li Yuanchen counted towards me, or towards you?"

The Bee Insect said, "Does this concern you?"

"To be honest, my Desolated Terrains just so happens to have dealings with Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom. His death, if blamed on me, would cause me some trouble," Fu Wangchen said candidly.

"Then let it be on my head," said the Bee Insect coldly. "If I don’t guide you out, you, and everyone in the building behind you, will all die here. Do you still have the leisure to worry about the future?"

"They may die, but I will not. I can hold on for a few decades, and if I don’t emerge after a long time, my master will arrange for someone to come look for me." Fu Wangchen spoke calmly, his gaze serene like still ancient well water, casually stating, "I believe my master will definitely find someone who can take me out of here alive."

"Then continue waiting for your master."

The Bee Insect flew away.

"Jiang Chao, wait a moment!"

Fu Wangchen stood up. He called out to the Bee Insect, wanting to leave, and after glancing back, he said solemnly, "I can withstand it, but they cannot."

"So..."

Fu Wangchen looked at the Bee Insect expectantly.

"Beg me."

"What?"

Fu Wangchen was stunned.

Proud as he was, he hadn’t thought his usual manner, his self-righteousness, would have angered the master behind the Bee Insect.

In the North Ruins, everyone from birth had indulged him, treating him as the future master of the Desolated Terrains.

He firmly believed he would surely become the foremost person of Desolated Terrains.

The Divine Tao had already been laid out under his feet; he simply needed to follow protocol and continue cultivating.

And then he would certainly achieve Divine Enthronement.

That’s why he had never needed to beg anyone; in his life, he never truly asked anyone for anything.

The Bee Insect spoke indifferently, "Beg me to take you to the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land."

Fu Wangchen, squinting his eyes, felt ripples begin to disturb his calm heart.

With his emotions in turmoil, he watched the Bee Insect as it began to fly further away and, after a struggle, said with great difficulty, "Consider it my plea, please lead us... out of here."

Upon finishing, Fu Wangchen breathed heavily as if depleted, as if asking for help was more painful than being killed.

"Fine, follow along."

The Bee Insect led the way.

The massive avian that had been docked for a long time suddenly became enshrouded in a hazy halo of light, following the Bee Insect as it navigated the vast Mysterious Fog.

"Sky Water Swamp, Jiang Chao, I will remember this," Fu Wangchen thought to himself.

...

At the Landscape Spiritual Boat.

Chen Lushi, tall and enchantingly beautiful, leaned wearily against the windowsill, her eyes listlessly watching over the disciples of the Demon Sect on the deck, most of whom were more dead than alive.

Her face, her eyes, they had lost their stunning luster.

She no longer flirted or behaved coquettishly. The once vibrant lake of her heart had become calm and... lifeless.

She knew she was far less resilient than the rock-steady Wu Yuan when it came to the tempering of one’s heart and mind.

She also knew that she didn’t have much time left.

"Ultimately, I will become one of the walking dead. It should be soon..."

She murmured self-pityingly.

Suddenly, she saw an unusual Golden Bee Insect descending from the vast Mysterious Fog above, flying towards her room, whose windows had been torn to shreds.

"An Alien God from the Outer Realm?"

Chen Lushi’s expression changed.

"I am here to guide you to a path of survival," the Bee Insect spoke.

Chen Lushi trembled slightly, instinctively pulling away to create distance before adopting a defensive stance.

The purple robe that wrapped her exquisite body, with its beautiful and intricate patterns and black demonic characters, suddenly came to life.

"Who is this divine entity?!"

Chen Lushi let out a low, sharp scream.

"Desolated Terrains, Fu Wangchen."

The bee insect coldly replied with a single sentence.

Just as she was about to summon Wu Yuan, planning to have Jiang Chao come over to help in battle, and was herself ready to jump onto the deck, Chen Lushi calmed down upon hearing this and said, "The Desolated Terrains of North Ruins?"

"Correct."

"Not some alien god from the Outer Realm with malicious intent?"

"No."

"Heh, you scared me half to death."

Chen Lushi, patting her heavy chest, sat her curvaceous hips back on the stone seat. Her beautiful eyes began to show enchanting ripples of light as she spoke in a tender voice, "Tell me, what are your conditions? And, how do you know how to leave this Mysterious Fog?"

"You only need to follow, no need to ask anything else."

The bee insect seemed somewhat impatient, "You have no other choice. If you don’t want to die, then do as I say."

"Huff!"

The bee insect flew out, "I will wait for you in the distance to activate the Landscape Spiritual Boat."

"Fu Wangchen, this guy has a terrible temper, so annoying. But he, he has given us hope!"

Chen Lushi wasn’t angry; she immediately found Jiang Chao and Wu Yuan and explained the situation to them both.

"Desolated Terrains, Fu Wangchen!"

Jiang Chao’s eyes showed joy as he exclaimed in a low voice, "I know of this man! If he is the one guiding us, there definitely won’t be a problem! Fu Wangchen, in the North Ruins’ Desolated Terrains, is almost certainly set to secure a position as a True God!"

"Fu Wangchen!"

Wu Yuan also silently repeated the name.

On the Sword Boat.

"The Landscape Spiritual Boat, as well as the huge avian bone ridden by Fu Wangchen, will lead the way for us."

Pang Jian said calmly.

He had already informed everyone what they would encounter after crossing the boundless Mysterious Fog and entering the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

"Little junior brother, you really are wicked."

Zhuang Yuyan stood at the edge of the stands, looking anxiously towards the front at the ever unchanging grey foggy sea, "The ghost clan from another world, as well as numerous alien tribes. In other worlds, those tribes that we drove to the Fifth Realm might still be the rulers."

"It’s just unknown whether the beings active on the other three fragment lands are the same," Qi Qingsong said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing about the open world that existed in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land and the three other magical fragment lands with many alien tribes possessing advanced civilizations, everyone’s mood grew heavy.

"Pang Jian, about how much longer until we get there?" Zhao Yuanqi asked anxiously.

The thought of the hundreds to thousands of corpses in the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land, the roaming powerful alien tribes and alien gods from the Outer Realm, made her all the more pessimistic about the upcoming exploration of the Forbidden Land.

"Soon."

After a long while.

The Sword Boat had already stopped moving, and the people all turned to look into the distance at a golden bee insect floating within the Mysterious Fog.

Behind the bee insect, instead of the perpetually unmoving grey fog, there was a pale light like the belly of a fish beginning to dawn.

They knew that if they continued forward, the Sword Boat would break through the Misty Sea and enter the space with the four fragment lands.

"Based on the time I have estimated, in three hours, the gigantic avian bone that Fu Wangchen is riding will burst through the Mysterious Fog and appear in the sight of the ghost clan warriors,"

"Under my deliberate synchrony, the Landscape Spiritual Boat will also enter the Mysterious Fog where we are right after the avian bone."

"As for us..."

Pang Jian looked at the others and said, "I can observe the situation first through the bee insect."

"With Fu Wangchen’s Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation and being the future pillar of the Desolated Terrains, him taking the lead will definitely give the ghost clan a huge disadvantage," Zhuang Yuyan said.

"Wu Yuan, Jiang Chao, these two guys are not simple either," Qi Qingsong spoke up.

Three hours later.

"Whoosh!"

The hundreds of zhang-long gigantic avian bone, as if coming to life, swirling with a thick and strange vitality, shot through the grey fog like an arrow.

In just an instant.

Guided by another bee insect, the boat from Sky Water Swamp also burst through the fog right behind it.

"Pang Jian! What’s happening?"

"Little junior brother, what’s the situation over there?"

Fang Boxuan and Zhuang Yuyan asked urgently.

"I am watching!"

Pang Jian exclaimed.

In the skies above the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land.

"Purgatory!"

The ghost clan warrior, holding a silver trident, looked up at the sudden appearance of the giant avian and his green eyes shot out a cold eerie light as he commanded with a swing of his arm, "Kill!"

Beside him, on that sleek black battleship, cannons cast of black crystal fired all at once.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The cannon fire, like black waterfalls, accompanied by earth-shattering roars, rushed straight towards the giant avian bone spurred by Fu Wangchen.

Fu Wangchen had no time for excitement, no time to observe the situation, and not even time to awaken his slumbering disciples.

He had just emerged when he saw the sky full of cannon fire heading his way and hurriedly shouted, "Roc!"

The huge avian shifted its ghostly bone wings slightly.

One after another, golden Rocs flew out from within the Divine Bones, fearlessly throwing themselves at the oncoming black cannon fire.

"Bang!"

One of the golden Rocs was hit squarely by the cannon fire, turning into a drop of golden blood that fell into the Divine Bones.

Their sudden appearance, heading straight for the cannon fire, bought Fu Wangchen some time.

And at that moment.

"Swish!"

The Landscape Spiritual Boat rushed out.

Chen Lushi, Jiang Chao, and Wu Yuan had just arrived to see the sky light up with bursts of splendid fireworks.
