Firefly Journey

Chapter 236 Birds and Fish Take Different Paths (11)

Having grown up in Yicheng since childhood, Lü Jianming had naturally heard of the Black Knight's exploits. His iconic black mask had been photographed and publicized by countless newspapers.

As an enforcer of the law under the cover of night in Yicheng, it is perfectly reasonable for him to encounter the descent of an evil god and appear here. In fact, Lü Jianming had already guessed nine-tenths of it, but he just wanted to confirm it.

Unexpectedly, the Black Knight's voice left him speechless.

"What's going on inside?"

Lu Jianming moved his neck and honestly gave a brief and concise account of what he had seen and heard.

The Black Knight nodded: "Leave here quickly, it's not safe."

The gentle words and familiar tone convinced Lü Jianming of the identity behind the mask, but he did not reveal it, because Cassius always had his reasons for doing things.

Lu Jianming and Fine quickly moved outside. Although their cultivation levels might be considered among the best of their age, they were no match for such a large-scale situation. Running away was the best option.

"What are you laughing at?" Finney asked. How could he still laugh in such a critical moment? Had he lost his mind?

Lu Jianming didn't answer; he just wanted to laugh.

It is an honor to be the savior of the city under the cover of night, who is my teacher and I am his student.

So we shouldn't laugh?

Of course you should laugh, and you should laugh very happily.

After Lü Jianming and the other left, Cassius looked at the Myriad Elephant Shell. The battle inside was extremely fierce, and everyone was disheveled and covered in dirt, with not a single clean spot on their bodies.

Cassius channeled his magic, attempting to forcefully break through the spatial barrier and enter to rescue the children.

However, Relocot had already made the Myriad Shell his own, and since he disagreed, no one could break the seal.

If forcing our way in didn't work, we had to settle for second best.

A warm, mellow voice suddenly rang in the ears of those fighting the mutated Chibman.

"See those containers? That's the source of that monster's power. Destroy them, and the monster will be no threat."

"Teacher!" The students in Class 29 were overjoyed, knowing that their teacher would appear in time for them in this crisis!

Everyone's spirits lifted immediately.

Even the wind chimes couldn't help but chuckle softly before disappearing. Lin Yuanran, whose thoughts were entirely on her, also noticed this small expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly—

It seems you also have people you absolutely approve of.

The casting of miracles consumes a great deal of mana. After casting it twice in a row, the wind chimes could not be used again for a short period of time and were slowly restored by the "White Tower".

Even if she were at her peak, those two miracles probably wouldn't pose much of a threat to the mutated Chibman.

In a sense, Chibman is part of the evil god, though the two are two levels apart.

It was clear that the mutated Chibman had lost the ability to think like an intelligent being, and was rampaging like a wild beast. Fortunately, no one was killed, and at most, some were injured.

"Gather the containers together," Cassius's voice rang out above them again.

Inside the Cosmic Shell, Wind Chime was making plans: "Ario, Upton, you two are responsible for attracting the monster with me, the rest of you go and transport the containers."

Currently, the strongest among this group is Fengling. She has clearly taken herself as the backbone, and the others have no objections and follow her orders.

Previously, while everyone was in a standoff, Chibman secretly set up containers around the area to attract the essence of magical beasts. Now that the mission is complete, the collection tools have not been destroyed. Cassius, who is outside, has a keen eye and realizes that the key to breaking the deadlock lies in those containers.

The containers were scattered around the yellow sand area, not far apart from each other, and there were many of them. It would take a lot of manpower to gather them together in a short time.

There was a reason why Fengling only brought the two of them.

Upton is tough and resilient, while Lin Yuanran is too weak and lacks any speed-enhancing abilities. It's safer to keep him under our noses. If the mutated Chibman suddenly gains intelligence and targets the weakest one, Lin Yuanran might die on the spot.

The goal is not to annihilate the enemy, but to delay them, which immediately reduces the difficulty of the mission.

Lin Yuanran secretly glanced at the wind chime, racking her brains trying to figure out why she would choose to bring her along, but she couldn't come up with a clear answer.

It's not because I like it.

Lin Yuanran firmly believed that a girl as outstanding as Feng Ling could never fall for an ordinary person. Her only focus was cultivation, climbing relentlessly until she became a legendary deity.

"Divine Oracle. Great Flame Dragon".

Lin Yuanran uttered a soft command and unleashed a fiery dragon. The fire magic didn't have much effect on the mutated Chibman; it only drew his hatred.

Having lost the ability to think, Chibman was driven only by the simplest instincts: whoever hits me, I'll hit them back. So, he charged forward, opening his disgusting maw, ready to swallow Lin Yuanran whole.

Upton arrived just in time and erected an earthen wall, giving him a rude awakening.

"Are you okay?"

"fine!"

The three worked together to constantly outmaneuver the mutated monster.

As it turns out, having ability without intelligence is also a sad thing. Chibman felt like he had boundless energy but nowhere to use it, completely outmaneuvered by the three men from St. Louis.

The three of them struggled with it for nearly an hour, and finally the containers were almost collected. Cassius kept an eye on the situation inside and told them to gather the containers together.

After everyone did as instructed, Mirashu asked, "Teacher, what's next?"

“Lure the monster over there,” Cassius said.

"it is good!"

Cassius cannot enter the competition space, but he can intervene through the oracle. Although Chibman's power comes from the evil god's body, these containers have also been exposed to the essence of demonic beasts. Since it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, it can certainly absorb the essence of mutated monsters.

Cassius wanted to use the container to drain the power of the mutated Chibman!

Everyone immediately got to work, but soon discovered a problem: Chibman wasn't a wooden stake; when he went berserk, he would run around everywhere. Why did he want to enter the location of the container?

This problem stumped everyone.

Lin Yuanran thought for a moment, and perhaps... he had a way to solve it.

On the eve of the competition, he successfully acquired the secondary profession "Space Mage" and began to master a divine skill.

The casting of miracles consumes a great deal of mana. Originally, Lin Yuanran planned to save it as a trump card for a critical moment to save his life.

Everyone is now trapped in the competition space, and the longer they stay, the more dangerous it becomes. Perhaps we've reached a critical moment. If everyone else is helpless, and you have the ability to break the deadlock, then you should give it a try.

Most importantly, he felt a vague sense of inferiority and wanted to tell the girl that he could also perform miracles and that the gap between him and her wasn't that big.

"Wind Chime, do you have a way to temporarily control that monster?" Lin Yuanran asked.

"I'll give it a try." Fengling didn't know what he was going to do, but she always felt that this person, who was so similar to her, also had some secrets.

"Oracle. Ice Tomb." Wind Chime spoke calmly, and pure white mist appeared beneath the monster's feet, then condensed into ice, effectively binding it.

Seeing this, the others also decided to come and lend a hand, and then they saw Lin Yuanran casting a spell.

Lin Yuanran raised the "Darkness Praise" given by the wind chimes to amplify the miracle.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Yuanran softly recited:

“Fragmented and distorted rules.”

"The hidden passages of all worlds."

"Let the vastness be before my eyes."
