Chapter 129 Sorry, it seems I can only take you this far.
Chapter 129 Sorry, it seems I can only take you this far.
In the sky.
Lu Li, Jing Liu, Dan Feng, Ying Xing, Bai Heng.
The five people were like five streaks of light piercing through the blood-red starry sky, heading straight for the golden giant tree in the distance.
However, the road to breaking through was more difficult than imagined.
Suddenly, it seemed they also realized their intentions.
From all directions, countless bountiful creatures and resurrected flesh monsters surged in, weaving an impenetrable encirclement.
"Charge!"
Ying Xing roared, each swing of his giant hammer carving a bloody path through the air.
But his wounds were multiplying, and blood mixed with sweat seeped from the gaps in his armor.
Danfeng's spear transformed into a sky full of spear shadows, creating a safe zone around the group.
Wherever Jingliu's sword light touched, everything froze, clearing a path for the five to advance.
Bai Heng's star raft nimbly weaved through the monster horde.
Her arrows always manage to pierce through the monsters that try to ambush their companions at the most crucial moment.
Lu Li brandished his black blade, still sheathed, repelling the hordes of monsters that pounced on him and patching up the gaps in the defense.
"Faster! Faster!" Ying Xing roared as he smashed away a monster that pounced on him.
"The wound is healing rapidly! We don't have time!"
Without him reminding him, everyone saw it.
On the distant golden tree, the massive crack that Teng Xiao had blasted open with his life was slowly shrinking under the shroud of crimson light.
They must deliver the fatal blow before it fully recovers.
"Bai Heng, to the left!" Dan Feng's calm voice rang out.
"receive!"
Bai Heng suddenly pulled the control lever.
As the star raft traced a graceful arc, several arrows shot out, instantly piercing through the wave of monsters surging from the left.
"Mirror Flow!"
"Um."
Jing Liu understood immediately, and a cold sword light swept across.
The monstrous creatures impaled by the arrows shattered into countless ice shards along with the ice sculptures.
The teamwork between the five has reached a level of perfection.
Every glance, every movement, was full of unspoken understanding.
However, it was clear that they would not succeed so easily.
Just as the five were about to break through the monsters' encirclement, a sudden change occurred.
On the blood-soaked path ahead, which had already been smashed open by Ying Xing, countless monster corpses began to writhe and merge wildly.
In just a few seconds, a massive wall of flesh, hundreds of meters high and composed of countless corpses and blood, rose from the ground, blocking their path.
"Damn it!" Ying Xing cursed angrily and slammed his hammer into the fleshy wall.
The wall of flesh shook violently, sending countless pieces of flesh flying, but it quickly reformed.
"No, it's too thick, we can't punch through it!"
"They're coming from behind! They're coming from behind too!" Bai Heng's anxious voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around.
The monsters behind them had already surrounded them, completely blocking their escape route.
They were surrounded.
"What do we do? We're surrounded!" Bai Heng's voice was tinged with anxiety.
She steered the starship, weaving left and right.
But the monsters around them were like an endless tide, impossible to kill completely.
"Calm down!" Jingliu's voice remained icy.
But those two words acted like a shot in the arm, calming the anxious crowd down a bit.
"Yingxing, Danfeng, let's join forces and break through from the front."
"good!"
"no problem!"
The two answered without hesitation.
"Lu Li, Bai Heng, cover us."
"Understood!" Bai Heng gritted his teeth and drew the bow to its fullest extent.
Lu Li gripped the scabbard in his hand and stood behind the three of them along with Bai Heng.
"Ready!" Jingliu shouted in a low voice.
The aura emanating from the three of them surged simultaneously.
A raging fire erupted from Ying Xing's body, and the giant hammer in his hand seemed to be burning red.
A brilliant golden light shone in Danfeng's eyes, and a majestic dragon shadow vaguely appeared behind him.
The Mirror Flow's hand emanated a chilling aura, making even the surrounding cosmic space seem about to crack from the cold.
"superior!"
Three streams of light of different colors, like cannonballs, crashed into the wall of flesh.
boom----!
A violent explosion resounded through the starry sky.
The wall of flesh, composed of countless corpses, was blasted open with a huge gap by the combined attack of the three.
"Walk!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the five transformed into five streaks of light and passed through the gap.
But before they could even catch their breath, a sudden attack followed.
On the giant golden tree, dozens of thick branches lashed out at them like venomous snakes, tearing through space!
"Be careful!"
Bai Heng exclaimed in surprise and pulled sharply on the star raft, narrowly avoiding a tree branch.
But the next moment, another branch, which was right behind her, lashed out at the tail of her star raft.
"boom!"
The starship shuddered violently, emitted a plume of black smoke, and began to spin uncontrollably.
"Bai Heng!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
"I'm fine...cough cough." Bai Heng's voice came through the communicator, tinged with painful gasps, "But the Starship's propulsion system seems to be broken."
"...I'm sorry, it seems this is the only way I can take you."
"Damn it!" Ying Xing cursed angrily, wanting to go over and provide support.
But it was held back tightly by three branches that had gotten tangled around it.
Danfeng and Jingliu are in no better shape.
They too were besieged by countless branches and couldn't even defend themselves.
Just as another branch was about to strike Bai Heng's Star Chariot and destroy it completely.
At this critical moment.
A dark shadow flashed past and rushed towards Bai Heng's star raft.
It moved so fast that it left only a fleeting afterimage in everyone's sight.
It’s Lu Li!
He grabbed Bai Heng's arm, who was about to be thrown out of the cockpit, and pulled her back.
"Hold on tight!"
Lu Li sat down in the driver's seat and gave a low shout, then suddenly pressed a certain part of the Star Chariot with his other hand.
next moment.
The starship, which had been out of control, miraculously stabilized and dodged all the subsequent attacks from an even more cunning angle.
"You—how do you know how to fix this?" Bai Heng's eyes widened.
You should know that this is a starship that she modified herself.
Even Yingxing, that mad craftsman, couldn't figure out its internal structure.
"I've read a few related books before," Lu Li casually explained, his gaze already fixed ahead.
"Silly girl, hold on tight, we're about to speed up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shoved the control lever hard.
The starship's engine roared and transformed into a streak of light.
Leaving behind a trail of afterimages, it weaved through the gaps in the countless branches, finally escaping the fleeting attack range.
"This guy..."
Ying Xing, who was watching from a distance, nearly had his eyes pop out of his head.
Isn't he a knife enthusiast?
How come even driving a star chariot is so powerful?
"Don't get distracted!" Jing Liu shouted coldly, severing the tree branch that was binding Ying Xing with a single sword stroke.
Ying Xing snapped out of his daze, roared, and charged forward again, swinging his giant hammer.
"Keep up with them!"
……
On the Starry Sky Train.
"Wow! Lu Li, you're so handsome!" March 7th exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this.
"So you can pilot a starship! And you're really good at it!"
"Hmm..." Hoshino nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Lu Li seems to know everything."
Lu Li: "..."
Don't even mention you, I didn't know myself.
"snort."
Just then, a cold snort came from the side.
Everyone turned to look.
Kafka was standing with her arms crossed, staring blankly at the sky.
Although she didn't say anything, the temperature in the carriage seemed to drop several degrees.
"That woman, is her name Bai Heng?" Kafka's voice was soft, yet carried a hint of danger.
"Uh...yes." March 7th answered subconsciously.
"Heh." Kafka sneered again.
He didn't speak again, but just stared at Lu Li and Bai Heng in the sky with a deep gaze.
"..."
March 7th and Xing exchanged a glance before looking at Lu Li.
Although neither of them spoke, Lu Li saw a hint of... sympathy in the other's eyes.
Lu Li: "..."
I'll settle accounts with you two after this is over.
