Above Destiny

Chapter 493 Dusk and Night
Two days later, the sun was blazing brightly off the coast of the Seven Cities Alliance.

Under the blazing light, all exposed skin felt deep stinging and numbness, as if it were wrapped in invisible castor beans.

The wind blowing in from afar was not cool at all, and the thick water vapor was like the steam in a sauna, blowing in my face with scalding temperature. It was like being kicked into the waves again and again, unbearable.

The Prosperity was quietly anchored between the blue sea and the sky, as if drifting with the current, waiting quietly.

After finishing the busy work last night, the Prosperity confirmed the supply situation again and then weighed anchor and left the port with Lao Tang who had just got off the ship, traveling day and night at the highest speed towards the Endless Sea.

Even with the blessing and strengthening of the exorcist, and even the transformation and ascension of Feigong, the propellers were about to spin out sparks, but it still took until now to reach the outer sea of ​​the Seven Cities.

This is assuming that we did not encounter any severe sea conditions along the way.

Ji Jue has already started thinking about when to get an airship and put the workshop on it... Man, this thing is much better than a boat!

At least it's fast!

But what should I call it when the time comes?
Isis's little airplane? You can hold it in your hand and fly it... Hmm, that seems pretty good, right?

Under the parasol, Ji Jue drank an ice cola, leisurely holding the fishing rod, enjoying the fun of sea fishing. Then he saw an unsightly creature in the sea swimming by like a sea dog.

"Woohoo~"

Then it swam back with a splash.

"Woohoo~"

And then clatter clatter...

—Bang. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and without thinking, he picked up the submachine gun beside the ice cola and fired a volley of bullets at the agile dog in the sea, until the dog that was so bored that it was swimming naked screamed and jumped up from the waves, then ran away on the sea with its two long hairy legs.

Even more eye-catching!!!
"Boss, this is not included in our service!"

Tang Qian, who had climbed onto the deck, was furious: "It costs extra money!"

“No, you will be charged.”

Ji Jue said indifferently: "If you do not follow the management regulations during working hours, fail to wear the uniform correctly and wear effective protective gear, your wages for the day will be deducted and you will be given a warning. If you violate the rules again, the whole factory will be notified and punished. In serious cases, you may be fired. All losses caused by this will be borne by the employees themselves. If it causes serious safety hazards and leads to production stagnation, Hai'an has the right to seek compensation..."

Lao Tang was upset: "I'm here to be a thug, not to tighten screws. There's no place for this kind of mess!"

"Yes, my friend, yes."

Ji Jue nodded sympathetically and glanced at his annoyed look: “So, you never read the contract when you signed it, right?

Our employment agreement and Coast’s entry agreement use the same template…”

We have known each other for such a long time, how come you still haven't made any progress? If you read more books, oh, you are a big group, forget it.

Ji Jue's eyes instantly showed pity.

"By the way, if you don't put your pants on and plan to run around naked on my boat, you may never use that thing again."

Ji Jue flicked out a gold coin with one hand and waved his other hand behind him. Suddenly, mercury flowed in the cracks of the deck, squirmed and rose, forming a mechanical arm. The big scissors at the front kept opening and closing, making a series of clicking sounds that made people's crotch tighten.

The egg beater at the other end also began to spin rapidly.

Aim ready.

"Alas--"

When Lao Tang saw the bright golden light thrown at him, he immediately smiled and said, "Boss, if you don't like light, just tell me earlier. I have prepared two bikinis..."

He was mumbling to himself, but he put on his shorts as fast as lightning, caught the gold coin accurately, blew on it skillfully, listened to the pleasant sound, was intoxicated, and then, put it behind his back with his backhand, just like every time he drew his sword.

how did you do that?
Ji Jue became more and more curious.

No, where did you get these pants from? Could it be that Daqun has some hidden inheritance secret of the fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum?
"But we've been waiting for so long, boss. Are you sure they can come today?" Lao Tang skillfully took out ice beer from Ji Jue's refrigerator and finished two cans in one gulp. "The Endless Sea is so big, aren't those northerners still in the south? Can they make it here?"

"If you can't make it in time, you won't get to eat meat. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ji Jue didn't care at all. He had already seen the fog gradually rising from the end of the sea level in the distance. A hint of coolness gradually emerged in the hot air.

It was like the cold winter wind blowing in from the end of the sea.

Thunder, storm and dragon skeletons are roaring in!

"I'm kidding?" Old Tang was stunned: "Is he really coming?"

Generally speaking, most people have some misunderstandings about the size of the Endless Sea, because almost all maps on the market have been modified.

There is no other way, we have to change it. Even if it is scaled down to a greater extent, if it is really to be based on the standard scale, 90% of the area on the map will be occupied by the endless sea.

Find a pond of more than ten acres and randomly sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds into it. When the sesame seeds float irregularly on the water surface, that is the Thousand Islands.

The distance between them can be very close or very far.

Even if everyone exists in the same world, the barrier of the ocean and the long distance are like a natural moat. Some people may never leave the vicinity of their island in their entire lives.

At this moment, seeing the flying dragon skeleton fleet roaring over with heavy rain and thunder, Ji Jue couldn't help but...his fingers were itching.

That’s great, that’s great. After so many years of accumulation, Beifeng Workshop has really produced a lot of good things.

Hundreds of years ago, the northern plundering fleet had been galloping across the Endless Sea. Over the years, the maintenance and development by successive craftsmen had accumulated a wealth of experience that was far beyond the reach of someone like Ji Jue, who had only been a craftsman for less than a year.

The seven seemingly modern warships were actually all modified based on the previous generation of Dragon Skeleton Fleet, and at heart they were still authentic alchemical creations.

Moreover, the seven warships were connected and resonated with each other through storms and rain. They were vaguely integrated and of the same spirit, and they sped across the sea with thunderclouds as their power source.

Put together, it's almost a work of art!

In fact, according to Ji Jue's guess, in its complete state, it shouldn't have only seven, and it shouldn't even have just this size and momentum...

The one dispatched this time was only a part of the Dragon Skeleton Fleet.

The North still has reservations, but they are understandable.

After all, if you really need to be fully armed and have everything you have in your closet, let alone going out to beg for money, you're afraid that as soon as you leave the port, there will be countless places sounding the alarm.

At this moment, the scorching heat quickly disappeared. Under the spreading dark clouds, amid the thunder and lightning, countless frosts condensed out of thin air and fell down.

The mighty fleet of dragon skeletons stopped in the distance, and soon a long frozen road stretched out.

Even in the hottest weather, the yellow-bearded craftsman, still wearing a fur coat, has boarded the Prosperity with his men. He looks around at the displays and appearances, seemingly surprised.

As if he noticed something.

"You have come up with something remarkable, Ji Jue."

"Not at all. They even moved the workshop here to save face, but compared with Beifeng's heritage, it's nothing special." Ji Jue responded with a smile, and soon chairs were moved over for the visitors to sit.

Huang Xu was not polite at all. After sitting down, he took out a wine flask from his arms and took two sips. He asked, "Where are the others?"

"Let me see……"

Ji Jue glanced at his phone and said, “The Hongbang people should be here within half an hour, and the fleet of the Seven Cities Joint Defense will bring them over.

However, there is no news from Huangji yet."

"Hey, Arashi."

Huang Xu sneered: "You are still too young to expect those white deer to be punctual."

"You can't say that, Lao Deng."

A voice came from behind him without any warning. Then, another voice came, smoothly connecting: "But then again..."

"We White Deer are like this."

"But we brothers like to be early."

"Yes, it is better to be early than late. The early hunter gets the wolf to eat."

"By the way, are there any wolves?"

"There's a 20% discount on wolves, kid."

Two middle-aged men whose height, weight and body shape were almost indistinguishable were chatting with each other, and they smoothly opened Ji Jue's small refrigerator and started to search.

A bottle of vodka and a bottle of whiskey, they unscrewed the caps at the same time and started drinking.

The name of Anjia Shuangzhi is so long!
He obviously has no sense of existence when he doesn't speak, but now that he opens his mouth he can't stop talking, it's so annoying.

"Wait a minute, stop, stop, stop..."

Ji Jue's eyes twitched: "When did you two come?"

"just."

"soon."

"When I first arrived, I saw a bunch of guys taking off their pants on the deck. I thought there was going to be some exciting drama."

“Although it’s a little outrageous, it seems normal considering the embers.”

"You are the employer, so we certainly can't mess with your business." "There's still some time left, do you want us to step aside?"

"Okay, stop talking, please."

Ji Jue’s vision began to go dark.

No matter how many times, I can't get used to Bai Lu's openness. Besides, these two are old rockers who formed a band many years ago, so they can't be accepted.

"fart!"

Old Tang was furious, slammed the table and stood up, glaring at them: "How can you Bai Lu slander someone's innocence out of thin air? How can I live my life if this gets out?

Besides, the price for the duck service is not this high! You have to pay extra!"

So that's the fucking point!

Ji Jue wanted to pull out his gun and shoot these guys to death on the deck one by one, otherwise his reputation would be ruined sooner or later.

Amidst the chaos, the fleet of the Seven Cities Joint Defense Force gradually appeared on the horizon.

I can only say that it is an eye-opener...

It's like a museum.

Federal, Imperial, Thousand Island-produced, modern, contemporary, stitched... it's simply too much to take in. Except for the flagship, each ship has amazing wisdom, and each one is assembled brilliantly, making people sigh at the limit of imagination.

Mingkler also understood his position as the atmosphere group. After he came on stage, he was extremely humble, and with a smile on his face, he gave away a lot of local specialties. He also sent the returning knights from all over the place to their locations, then moved a small stool and sat beside them waiting.

You say that people lie at home doing nothing, but military merits keep falling from the sky, making it so difficult for me to be the commander-in-chief. Oh, it's really annoying and helpless... I like it so much!

And for a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Jue.

Huang Xu didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Everyone is here, when will we start?"

"Don't you need to prepare?" Ji Jue asked.

"I am so anxious and tormented. Can you at least let us see the land first?"

He raised his head and drank the liquor in the pot, then wiped the wine stains from his beard: "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Although the fleet is sheltered by the storm, anyone will be able to see that something is wrong after a long time. Instead of wasting time sleeping, it is better to attack Huanglong directly."

"I just released surveillance, but for concealment, it's not in place yet. The situation inside is unknown. It's better to be safe, right?"

Ji Jue asked, "Have you seen the Ether in the North?"

"Before coming here, I asked a shaman to do divination. It's safe and sound, good luck."

Ji Jue looked at the two fingers of the An family: "What do you two say?"

"I do not mind."

"Me too."

The two fingers were obviously much calmer. Although they had been rushing all the way, it was just the hard work of rushing. They just took a sip of water to rest.

If you really want to hunt wolves, you may end up in extreme situations where you don't sleep or blink for days, weeks, or even a month.

Besides, it's not the charging job that the two of them are doing. The An family's projection skills have been honed to such an extent that as long as they are within the sensing range, it doesn't matter if they don't go to the scene.

The returning knights were also responsible for the protection of the Prosperity. Now that they were roughly familiar with the situation, they said they were ready to start work at any time.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

The enemy is in Punabantu!

"Okay, then I won't wait."

Ji Jue took one last look at his phone.

Until now, there was still no trace of Sister Wen. Maybe, given her habits, she would just rush over and start fighting without caring about anything else.

Besides, since we have the same destination, we will meet sooner or later.

Wouldn't it be easy to just accuse her of being a remnant of the gang and take her down immediately?
As for how to apologize later, emmmm... I'm doing this for your own good, Sister Wen, you won't fail to understand me, right!
Right…right?

Whether it is right or not is still debatable, but Ji Jue doesn't have high demands, as long as he doesn't blow his head off with one punch.

Now, on the outskirts of the Seven Cities’ territorial waters, if Punabantu advances at full speed, it would only take four... no, with the help of the Dragon Skeleton Fleet’s storm, it might even take an hour to reach the gate.

Why are you still hesitating?
The opponent is right in front of you, F2+A, select everyone, and start a fight!
A quarter of an hour later, the sails of the Dragon Skeleton were hoisted high again, and the sound of the horn resounded through the sky, calling on the thunderclouds. Endless thunder flashed, and amid the roar, the dark clouds carried the Prosperity and headed towards Punabandu!

As if soaring on the crest of the waves, the entire Prosperity was shaking violently in the strong wind, like a thrown stone skipping on the water.

The spiritual waves that were projected intentionally or unintentionally from the thunderclouds were like a radar, scanning Ji Jue as if gloating over his misfortune.

Old thing, now I've given you the chance to put on some eye drops!
Ji Jue sighed and didn't react.

No matter how rough the waves were, the Prosperity showed no signs of collapse or loss of control from beginning to end. The hand of non-aggression pressed on the side of the ship, continuously strengthening and transforming it.

Even while speeding, the spiritual circuits that were accidentally detached would accidentally float into the sky and go into the thunderclouds.

It's like a pair of not very clean little hands trying to take something back.

let me see!

Then, it was smashed to pieces by the merciless lightning!
What are you looking at! You are not allowed to look at it! This is yours, so why are you looking at it? Go home and look at your own things!

After all, Yu Jin understands Yu Jin. When colleagues see each other, they have already thought about when to attend the other's funeral and how much money to spend.

Seeing that the eye drops failed to be applied, Huang Xu seemed too lazy to argue with Ji Jue, the bastard, and the wind and waves blowing in his face also slowed down a lot.

only……

Why does the sky become darker the further we go forward?
Ji Jue lowered his eyes and looked at the satellite image on his phone… The sun was shining brightly on the sea, and the hot sea in the afternoon was dotted with ripples and there was no cloud in the sky.

But at this moment, the area outside the Dragon Skeleton Fleet seemed to be walking into the long night step by step. In the rapidly dim and low sunlight, a spreading scarlet color gradually emerged. In a flash, the blood color dyed the entire world.

Soon after, even the sun was about to disappear.

The sky and earth ahead were dark, and the wind whistled mournfully in the dense fog, as if carrying a faint eerie song.

The whole world has turned into a magical world.

Under the collapse effect of the massive overflow of spiritual essence, the completely alienated forbidden area seemed to be shrouded in eternal darkness, where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

With the piercing alarm, the Dragon Skeleton Fleet came to an abrupt halt at the edge of darkness, staring coldly at the dancing darkness, which was even more seeping out, into a world shrouded in thick fog.

There was no trace of Punabantu.

"Has it deteriorated to this extent?"

In the projection, Huang Xu's expression was gloomy, his hand rubbing the handle of the flame-shaped sword, and he ordered without thinking: "Command the fleet, prepare for battle, and all units work together to wake up the dragon bone.

Prosperity is ready to move back and give way to the front."

He said, "Release Dusk!"

This is not the time to hesitate or consider. If you want to take the initiative, whether against your partners or enemies, how can you do it without investing some money?

He is very stingy before the fight and will not give an inch after the fight.

But when it comes to fighting, don't give a damn.

Just roll up your sleeves and get to work!

At that moment, the majestic sound of the horn once again rang out from the thunderclouds. Amid the rising lightning, the eerie sound of drums resounded through heaven and earth.

The difficult and ancient mumblings gathered together, like a hymn to the hoarse figure of God. Amid the frenetic shouts and screams, the sound of the horn became louder and louder, rising endlessly towards the sky, as if to reach the ears of the heavens!

Until, from the highest point of the sky, a thunderous response came.

Bang!
A little fire suddenly lit up above the dark sky.

It was reflected in Ji Jue's pupils, magnifying and magnifying again, until finally, the huge meteorite surrounded by endless flames showed a hideous outline.

Tyrannical light.

The night was burned out; the sky, the sea, and everything in the world were dyed dim, reflecting the magnificent light that descended from the sky.

Ji Jue subconsciously held his breath.

Eyes widened.

Snapped--

The crisp sound of shattering rang in everyone's ears.

Just like a hammer smashing a mirror, under the violent impact of the dusk meteorite, cracks appeared out of thin air in the darkness that seemed to be real, and spread wantonly across the sky.

The world is shattered and everything is falling apart.

Behind the gap where cracks intertwined, a scarlet eye as big as the sun and the moon slowly opened.

Overlooking the dust.
