It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

The Earth Dragons fought to defend the majestic sacred mountain and perished;

The dragon race fought to defend their dignity as the pinnacle of living things and perished;

No race could resist the [beasts]. After realizing this, the remaining races abandoned the earth, fled to the sky, and established a group of floating continents, which have continued to this day.

The most widely-held theory is that [beasts] are the result of the leakage of failed biological experiments of human beings, so humans are also regarded as the culprits of the destruction of the earth. The appearance of the Unsigned Race and humans is almost exactly the same, so it is not surprising that the Unsigned Race is more or less regarded as an ominous and unclean race on various floating islands. Although there are almost no cases of open persecution, they are often accused and feel that they have nowhere to go.

Chapter 184 Island No.

"I see. It seems that as humans, we are considered endangered species here. So are you planning to lock us up in a zoo or something to keep us safe?"

Xueyue asked with a smile.

Although Xueyue's words were only teasing, Gray Rock Skin felt as if non-existent sweat had appeared on his forehead when he heard this, and hurriedly explained:

"No, no, no, Miss Xueyue misunderstood. Your existence is very meaningful to us, so I hope you can go to a very important place to take up a position."

"You're not going to make me fight those monsters, are you? I was lucky to win last time. Does Commander Gray Rock Skin really think that a weak woman like me with delicate skin and tender flesh can deal with those blind monsters?"

Xueyue certainly doesn't care about fighting with that group of [beasts], but at the moment, the [chips] offered by this world are not enough.

The so-called "bargaining chips" are certainly not gold, silver or jewelry. Xueyue has no shortage of such mundane things and does not care about them. The most important thing is the "recognition" of the people in charge of this world. After the people in power figure out their positions and how to treat themselves, it is not impossible for Xueyue to help them solve their problems naturally.

If one intervenes too much in advance or displays one's strength to solve everything in a rude manner, it will only be a thankless task and will cause blind fear. One should just go with the flow under the manipulation of fate, and then the so-called "recognition" will naturally be obtained, and Xueyue's expansion of faith will be completed unknowingly.

"Uh……"

Gray Rock Skin really wanted to complain that if the person who could subdue the [Beast] without using weapons was called a "weak woman", then what were the others?

After calming down a bit, Gray Rock Skin continued,

"Actually, I would like to invite Miss Xueyue to serve as the administrator of the [Secret Weapon]. Since you are a human, it would be beneficial for both parties if you know what is there. Correspondingly, you will also be given a corresponding military position so that you can carry out some subsequent operations."

Gray Rock Skin admitted that the girl in front of him was indeed a very valuable fighting force, but as a senior officer, Gray Rock Skin obviously had other considerations.

Having fighting ability is one thing, but if the girl in front of him is from another world, then she has no obligation to fight for this world with all her strength. At present, the Guardian Wing Army cannot keep asking her to take action.

In addition, compared to her fighting ability, the more important thing for Miss Xueyue is her identity as a [human]. If they are both human, then is it possible that they can have a more effective effect with the [secret weapon]? At the same time, in this process, they can also increase their understanding of each other, which will be more helpful if they are urgently needed to help in the future. In short, there is no big problem in building a good relationship.

"If it's just this matter, then I agree~ Happy cooperation~"

Faced with Gray Rock Skin's suggestion, Xueyue readily agreed. After all, she knew what the so-called "secret weapon" was, so there was nothing wrong in trying it out.

The two held hands together, but compared to Gray Rock Skin's huge palm, Xueyue's hand seemed too delicate.

-------------------------------------

Huiyanpi specially arranged a airship to pick up Xueyue and Abigail to their destination - Floating Island No. 68.

One thing to point out here is that the floating continental group is actually an aggregation of over a hundred floating islands, and the numbers are distributed in an order that spreads outward in a spiral from the center. The most central one is naturally island number one, and the islands with larger numbers are closer to the outside.

The islands numbered around 40 are not too far from each other. If several islands can be stably adjacent to each other, some places will use huge chains or bridges to bind them together. Communication between islands becomes more convenient and frequent, which can directly bring prosperity to the cities on those islands.

On the contrary, the islands on the periphery, the islands numbered after 70, are not only far apart from each other, but also small in area. Not to mention prosperous cities, even the existence of towns is quite rare. Therefore, those areas are islands that public communication airships will not include in their patrol routes.

Island No. 68, where Xueyue and Abigail are going, is in such a delicate location.

It is impossible to get there by the usual means, using the public communication airship.

These were the information provided by the personnel who were responsible for receiving Xueyue and Abigail on the airship.

Gray Rock Skin gave Xueyue the rank of a second-class senior technical officer, and Abigail was Xueyue's adjutant. The second-class officer position was second only to the first-class officer position, with sufficient pay and no need to face complicated meetings and decision-making like the first-class officers, while the senior technical officer was the best paid type among the technical officers of the same rank.

In fact, according to the procedure, the appointment letter should be officially issued before it will take effect, but Huiyanpi took a loophole and arranged it directly. He believed that Xueyue's identity was enough for the people above to recognize this official position, and Huiyanpi also wanted to implement this substantive thing as soon as possible so that Xueyue could settle down.

Gray Rock Skin also gave Xueyue an exclusive communicator so that Xueyue could contact him at any time, whether to report the situation or request a dedicated airship to pick her up.

It can be seen that Huiyanpi is worthy of being a first-class officer. He knows very well how to recruit sufficiently special talents. Such an attitude also makes Xueyue very satisfied. After all, it is pleasant to get along with smart people.

"Commander Xueyue, Lieutenant Abigail, we have arrived at our destination!"

After getting off the airship, the orc soldiers saluted.

"Well, okay, you guys go back."

Xueyue nodded in response.

The airship slowly drove away from Island No. 68, and the entire island suddenly became deserted, with only Xueyue and Abigail left.

The sun had already set by this time, and a strong evening breeze was blowing.

Abigail tightened her uniform and held down her black pleated skirt to prevent it from being blown up by the wind. The uniforms were also distributed on the airship, but even the smallest uniform on the airship had sleeves that were several centimeters longer than Abigail's arms. However, this redundancy was nothing to Abigail.

Xueyue had no intention of wearing the military uniform properly. She simply draped the black uniform over her school uniform, letting the evening breeze blow up the corners of her clothes and cuffs.

"Then, a new exploration begins~"

Chapter 185 A Small Attack

There was an object more than half a meter high standing in front of the jungle. Xueyue took a closer look and found that it was a billboard that had been blown to pieces by the wind, or to be more precise, a road sign.

Following the direction indicated above, one side leads to the city, while the opposite direction leads to the fourth warehouse of Orlando Trading Company. In terms of distance, the warehouse is only one-fourth of the distance to the city.

[The Fourth Warehouse of Orlando Trading Company], this is the place Xueyue will go to, it is the warehouse where the so-called [secret weapon] is stored.

However, the name does not seem to have anything to do with the military, but Xueyue can understand it. After all, she has seen military facilities disguised as civilian facilities for some purposes. But anyway, this little thing about the name is not her concern.

Following the direction indicated by the road sign, there is a path leading to the forest. Naturally, on such a remote island and such a remote path, there is no possibility of infrastructure such as street lights. The dark forest is like a huge mouth that wants to swallow people into darkness.

However, Xueyue did not hesitate to set foot on this night road, which would make most people hesitate and stay away from it. It was not only because there would be no things in the forest that could threaten her, but also because the so-called "darkness" was just right for Xueyue.

Although [Shadow] is one of Xueyue's sources of power, Xueyue naturally has the ability of night vision. Even in places where light cannot illuminate, as long as Xueyue is willing, she can see through everything. But Abigail who is following behind her cannot achieve such a high night vision ability, so Xueyue took out a palm-sized bead and held it in her hand.

The bead suddenly emitted a light like a light bulb, but it was not dazzling even when looked at directly. This was the legendary "Night Pearl", which was just right to be used as a lighting device. This way, there was no need to worry about Abigail following behind being tripped by occasional bumps or branches on the road.

With the illumination of the night pearl, there is no need to worry about getting off this path that was almost entirely artificially created.

The area of ​​Island No. 68 is quite large, so the area of ​​this forest is also very considerable. The natural landscape in the sky is preserved just like that on the ground, which is a relatively rare existence in floating islands. In such a pristine forest, there may be ferocious beasts such as wolves or bears, but such beasts are obviously not regarded as threats by Xueyue or Abigail. They should be worried about the beasts.

As we go deeper into the forest, the soil under our feet becomes a little moist, which is a sign that we are near flowing water.

Sure enough, not far away, there was the sound of flowing water. It was a stream several dozen meters long, with a wooden bridge over the water.

Xueyue touched the railing on the bridge and found that the wood was already rotten. Xueyue even thought that with her own strength as a human girl, she was able to peel off a large piece of wood veneer. As for the bridge deck, she could feel it shaking as long as she exerted a little force, and there was even a slight creaking sound. Xueyue had no doubt that if she deliberately jumped a few times on the bridge, she could break a few wooden boards.

All in all, to describe the bridge in such a bad state that it would be a compliment to say it is in disrepair.

Xueyue herself didn't care, but it would be bad if Abigail missed a step and got her shoes or clothes wet, so Xueyue decided to temporarily reinforce the bridge to at least cope with this passage.

Xueyue stepped lightly onto the bridge deck, and the ice extended along the wooden bridge deck and froze into one piece, leaving parallel horizontal scratches on the ice surface to increase friction.

"Okay, that's all~"

Xueyue took Abigail's hand and prepared to cross the bridge.

Then a little light appeared in the woods on the opposite bank, and as the light expanded, it could be judged that the other party was approaching us rapidly.

"Are you here to pick us up?"

Xueyue made a preliminary assessment. After all, this place was remote enough and it was unlikely that there would be any outsiders wandering around at this time.

But if military personnel like Gray Rock Skin had been notified by message before, and now it was personnel who received the message and came to respond, then it would not be surprising at all.

But if they came all the way to greet us, it would be a bit too considerate of a hospitality.

Xueyue smiled helplessly.

But in the next second, Xueyue used her night vision to catch a glimpse of the small figure running towards her.

Then, Xueyue let go of Abigail's hand and threw the night pearl to Abigail behind her.

"Abby, help me get it."

"Eh?! Okay, okay."

As the bridge was not wide enough to accommodate two people walking side by side, Abigail, who was following behind Xueyue, could not see the situation ahead clearly.

Therefore, when Xueyue threw the Night Pearl over, Abigail immediately realized that something unexpected had happened. Without thinking about anything else, she hurriedly grabbed the Night Pearl and held it in her arms.

The figure came rushing over and uttered a cry:

"Drink——!"

It's just that although this childish voice was imitated very powerfully, it actually did not contain any murderous intent. Instead, it was quite cute.

The light leaped high along with the sound, and a powerful wooden sword chopped down towards Xueyue's head from top to bottom.

It was certainly not difficult for Xueyue to dodge this downward strike which was not even an attack, but the problem came from other aspects.

With the opponent's posture, he would definitely not be able to brake after landing. Even though the bridge surface that had turned into ice had scratches, it could only provide some friction and was unable to stop the person who jumped high. Therefore, the result after the opponent landed would either be to knock over Xueyue or Abigail directly, or to break through the rotten railing and fall into the water.

Xueyue did not intend to see either of these two situations, so she took the safest approach.

He dodged the wooden sword by moving sideways, then when the tiny figure landed on the ground, he grabbed her under the arms and picked her up.

When they got closer, Xueyue also knew where the light came from. It was the magic-driven lamp held in the other party's right hand.

Abigail on the side also came forward, raised the night pearl, and illuminated the other person's face.

She was a young girl who was about seven or eight years old, with lavender hair and eyes.

"It's very dangerous to run here~"

Xueyue smiled and reminded the purple little girl in front of her.

"Well……"

The little girl in front of him seemed a little unconvinced that her attack was easily resolved, and she was still thinking about continuing to hit Xueyue's head with the wooden sword in her hand.

"..."

Unlike the smiling Xueyue, Abigail's blue pupils turned serious as she watched the little girl's little movements.

Perhaps sensing Abigail's angry look, the purple-haired girl's momentum suddenly weakened.

Chapter 186 Ogre

A new magical light popped out from the gap in the woods and approached here, accompanied by a familiar voice:

"Hey, Pan Libao! What are you doing?"

It was obvious that the voice was speaking to the purple-haired girl in his arms. "Pan Libao" should be her name.

As the magic lights approached, a girl emerged from the dim forest. As expected, she had the sky blue hair that Xueyue was familiar with.

"Um... I was caught by a suspicious intruder..."

The purple-haired girl said in a pitiful tone.

"What suspicious person... There's water nearby. I told you not to run around. It'll be dangerous if you run around... Eh?"

The girl only noticed Xueyue and Abigail when she ran closer.

That was indeed the blue-haired girl who had been with Xueyue in the afternoon. Her face was filled with surprise at this moment:

"Huh? The suspicious person Pan Libao mentioned turned out to be you? How could it be?!"

The blue-haired girl then noticed the abnormality under her feet. With the help of the light, she saw that the bridge surface was covered with ice. Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, the blue-haired girl was not surprised by Xueyue's method.

"Hello, see you again~"

Xueyue smiled and waved her hand as a greeting.

"..."

The blue-haired girl took a deep breath, apparently trying to adjust her expression, and then put on a proper smile and said,

"Then please follow me, important guest."

The blue-haired girl turned around, motioned for the others to follow, and began to lead the way with the lamp in her hand.

-------------------------------------

Although this should actually be considered a military facility, and nominally a warehouse, its internal structure has neither of these two styles.

There are old wooden plank corridors, plaster walls, and several small rooms at equal distances. On the walls are notices such as "housework roster", "Second floor toilet is out of order", and "Please do not run in the corridor".

Of course, with Xueyue's ability to detect, she can also sense the girls hiding in various blind corners, who think they are hiding well and are spying on Xueyue and Abigail, the two new strangers.
