Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

How on earth did they accept Ramsay's bribe and freeze the phone just like that?

As he pondered, all sorts of troublesome matters gradually surfaced: old favors owed, invitations to explore the Jedi, long-term commissions he had taken on, custom orders, and an invitation from a certain difficult young lady to join his group...

Putting these things behind them, Leon and Zoe returned to the ruins.

The Earth Serpent sent out five consecutive vibration waves, cracking the surface rock layer of the cave wall into huge falling rocks, burying the ruins underneath. However, it seemed to have a mysterious power to maintain its shape and was not destroyed by the rocks. Instead, it supported the huge rocks, leaving only some cracks on the pillars.

Now with the Earth Serpent, it only needs to arch its body forward to push away the boulders.

Stepping back into the hall, he saw the half-remaining circular array and mechanical column again. He discovered that there were a few golden light spots left in the deepest part of the circular array's groove.

He applied a little with his gloved index finger and saw that it was some golden powder, much like the remains of some dried liquid.

At the center of this semicircle is an egg with a golden shell that has already hatched.

"What is this?" Zoe glanced at the Earth Serpent.

"According to your father's notes, this snake was born here," said Li Ang.

The girl said to the giant snake, "Do you still remember this, Xiao An?"

"Xiao An?"

"Yes, she just told me her name is Anastasia. It's so long and hard to pronounce, so I just shortened it to this."

"alright."

The Earth Serpent, or Xiao An, used its not-so-small head to nudge the eggshell in the center of the circle.

"She said she couldn't remember," Zoe said.

Li Ang was actually concerned about one thing, which was why Star Soul had a name?

Monsters are not like intelligent races that name their children to identify their individuals. They are born from accidental phenomena such as magical disasters, and most of them have habits similar to those of wild beasts.

After forming a population, intelligent races will give them names, but they are all species names.

Some people like to name the contracted monsters they summon, with a mentality similar to raising a pet.

Super monsters like the King of Islands or certain regional bosses are identified by titles, such as "Worm King," "Infernal King," "God of Sorrow," "Demon of the Abyss," and so on.

Zoe's father said in his notes that Anastasia was "conceived" by this relic.

Leon pondered for a while in the ancient ruins.

He suppressed all the speculations that emerged in his mind and simply drew the runes in his adventure notebook.

Before attacking the Dark Night Ancient City, he went to the Magic City of Thousand Towers and specifically checked all the relevant information in the Ten Thousand Scrolls Corridor there.

The reason why the Dark Night Ancient City is called the Dark Night Ancient City is because there is a space distortion above it. This distortion causes the supernatural world and the natural world to collide with each other. The magic power that would not actively interfere with the material world continues to interfere in the distortion, causing the skylight to disappear and the city to be shrouded in darkness for thousands of years.

Monsters have been appearing in the dark night, and they use the ancient city below as their lair. Many scholars speculate that this is the reason for the demise of that civilization.

Among these monsters, the strongest is the Worm King. It manipulates the power of death and constantly resurrects the ancient people who died in the ancient city into high-level undead creatures, making the Moonlight Island where the ancient city is located a Jedi, and also polluting the nearby airspace, affecting other islands.

In the process of conquering it, Leon discovered that this ancient city belonged to a very special civilization. They had mastered the ability to travel through the sea of clouds very early and built cities on different islands. There were a large number of runes of unknown meaning in the cities.

Scholars in Qianta City grouped the civilization that used similar runes into a nation called the "Deus".

Leon didn't continue researching the Deus people. If he did, he wouldn't know how many days he would have to spend in the library.

Newbi is very old. Various glorious ancient civilizations existed and perished, and the time intervals between them were even longer than their own existence.

Some of the wealth in these civilizations is used by adventurers, who often find good things with special functions but whose principles cannot be understood or imitated.

The magical technology that is popular today was also developed by its inventors relying on their own cross-era knowledge combined with the remaining knowledge of various ancient civilizations.

Leon thought the ruins related to the Star Soul and the Deus people were worthy of attention.

Apart from the circle and the creation equation prompted by the system, there was nothing else in the ruins, and Zoe did not show any special reaction.

The two returned to the ground.

The return trip was very enjoyable because we could ride on Xiao An's back. Its snake-like body easily climbed up the steep surface between the crevices and carried the two back to the ground.

On the fifth night on Satus Island, the journey to the center of the island ended, and it felt like I had lived my life all over again.

Arriving at the wellhead in the basement, Xiao An transformed into light and merged with Zoe, and the two returned to her home.

"I'm finally back. I'm so tired and want to sleep." The girl stretched and was about to walk into the house.

"I suggest you go take a shower." Li Ang said.

After the battle underground, both of them were covered in sweat and dust.

There was only a wooden shed with a water pipe in the backyard. If you wanted to take a full bath, you had to go to the pond in the mountains. Moreover, Zoe had run out of toiletries at home long ago.

It wouldn't be long before Leon would take her out of this life of lacking everything.

Li Ang dodged the troubled girl's attempt to pull him into the shed, and only went in after she came out with a pout.

He wet himself with the hose, the cool mountain spring water brushed his cheeks, and a red light lit up in his dark vision.

When I opened my eyes, the night sky in the distance was lit up red, like the red glow of the evening, but with a hint of purple.

Various roars resounded through the sky, especially the explosions.

He frowned.

The purple-red light ball was the dust cloud produced by the magic naval guns, which indicated that a war was taking place in the sky not far away.

38. Black Lightning

Li Ang washed hastily, put on his clothes and went outside.

Zoe and the nearby villagers also noticed something strange in the night sky.

The villagers had expressions of fear on their faces. Considering the rising magnitude of the earthquake that the Earth Serpent was trying to destroy the island, they on the ground must have already experienced a round of anxiety.

Now, the sky in the distance was as red as blood, and their panic was self-evident.

Zoe trotted over and grabbed Leon's hand.

Like the villagers, she had never seen anything like the strange vision in the sky or the war scene before.

In the blood-red light curtain, there are five magic airships about one hundred meters long lined up in an array. Their hulls are shuttle-shaped, and the suspension device is different from the streamlined airbags on the top of traditional airships. It uses armored suspension wings made of magic technology and placed on both sides of the rear half of the ship.

Airships are a product of the magical civilization of the island nation of Makaina. As a new type of vehicle, they feature a flatter and wider hull, high speed, strong resistance to extreme weather conditions, can be equipped with magical naval guns, and are capable of head-on collisions with large flying monsters.

However, the island nation of Makena is located in the Ignis airspace, and their ships do not need to come to the Flores airspace to fight.

Satus Island is located in a remote area, and the nearby islands are not very prosperous, so there will be no disputes at all.

Leon looked carefully at the flying ships from a distance and found that the emblems hanging on their hulls did not belong to the Makena Island Nation.

Then they should be the products sold by the Makena Island Nation. I heard before that they started accepting orders for new ships. Many forces placed orders immediately, but the Tiantuan group is waiting and watching.

What faction did they belong to? He had never seen the emblems on the ship before.

The airships were not attacking each other. What they were constantly capturing and bombarding with their naval guns was a ball of ice-blue light.

The ball of light rushed between the ships at a high speed. Every time it struck, it would cause a piece of ice to condense. Its own powerful kinetic energy caused some soldiers on the deck to fly out of the hull and fall to the bottom of the air every time it hit a warship.

The aerial battlefield drew closer to Satus Island, and Zoe's grip tightened.

Leon looked at her. The girl noticed his gaze and the panic on her face turned into a smile as she returned it to him.

It seemed that as long as he was there, she didn't worry about anything.

But Li Ang was worried.

As the fleet approached, he saw what they were fighting.

It was a giant monster, or to be more precise, a giant wolf running in the sky.

Its body length may reach 20 to 30 meters, and its body is dark blue. Its amber eyes are trailing streams of light. The hair on its neck, back, joints and tail is long and smooth, and the color at the end transitions to ice blue, turning into spots of light floating in the air.

The moment he saw the giant wolf, Leon saw a flash of rune light in Zoe's dark red pupils. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself.

The magic cannons on both sides of the airship were constantly tracking the giant wolf's movements, while the rapid-fire cannons on the deck were constantly firing purple-red energy bullets under the control of the soldiers.

After approaching Satus Island, the giant wolf seemed to go crazy. After a loud howl, magic power surged around it, and dozens of four or five-meter-long ice blades condensed out. The low temperature caused snowflakes to dance, and half of the sky was covered in frost and snow. Even the island could feel the chill.

Li Ang immediately recognized the power that had reached a remarkable realm beyond Level 7. No longer requiring the use of materials or the reshaping of aggregated substances, it directly created and shaped a vast number of ice blades harder than steel.

The giant wolf spun its body and swung its long furry tail outward. Dozens of ice blades shot out in arcs, instantly staining the ship's deck with blood.

The ice blades did not shatter after being shot out. They gathered back to the side of the giant wolf, and it condensed a layer of ice armor on the surface of its body. These blades rotated in the air and combined with the armor to become a set of ice blade armor that brought death.

"Ouch!"

The giant wolf growled and spun its body, crashing into an airship like a tornado. At the moment of contact, the sharp icy blade tore through the steel on the surface of the ship. Combined with the giant wolf's fierce impact, the entire ship was split in two from the middle.

After the hull was torn apart, the airship's magic circuit was immediately broken, and the internal spirit core lost control. The large amount of magic power attracted ignited the purple-red flame. The other spirit cores in the two sections of the hull exploded at the same time, exploding into two balls of scarlet dust in the sky.

"Oh," Li Ang sighed, "No wonder the team didn't place an order earlier. The security of this magic technology is still a bit questionable."

The soldiers who were killed in the explosion fell to the bottom of the sky. Some of them lost their support and spun in the air. They happened to come near the giant wolf and were bitten to pieces by it.

This force is a bit outrageous. It has money to buy expensive magic battleships, but no money to equip its soldiers with paragliders.

When the airship was attacked, the remaining four ships stopped attacking and scattered away. At this time, there was a certain distance between them.

"Escaped?" said Zoe.

Leon felt a strange spiritual reaction.

He raised his hand and felt a tingling sensation on his skin. With his spiritual affinity skills, he could feel that all the spirits nearby seemed to be trembling.

What's going on? I've never felt this way before.

At this moment, the four ships adjusted their directions and faced the giant wolf with their bows. The mechanism at the bow was activated, and a total of four strangely shaped guns extended from the bow.

They have the appearance of magic cannons, but the barrels are longer and covered with a strange substance with a dark purple base, like asphalt or even biological tissue. They are constantly squirming, and yellow bubbles like pustules are emerging.

The four cannons fired at the same time, but what came out of the muzzles were not energy bombs, but four black lightning bolts. They spread into more beams in the air, forming an electric grid for a moment, blocking the giant wolf's escape space.

The lightning seemed like a living thing, tracking the giant wolf and finally striking it.

The black electric light was deflected by the solid ice blade armor, and the explosion it caused was not enough to shatter the armor, but only blew up some ice gravel.

However, when the electric arc touched the part of the giant wolf's body that was not covered by armor, it was like wildfire igniting dry grass, instantly causing its body to ignite with black flames.

"Woo——"

The giant wolf seemed to feel unbearable pain, and the ice armor on its body could no longer hold on. It broke into pieces of ice and flew around. Some of them fell on Satus Island, directly covering the surrounding meadows with frost.

Unable to extinguish the flames on its body, the giant wolf howled as it flew across the sky of Satus Island and towards the horizon.

The magic power reactors at the rear of the four ships were turned to the maximum, and purple-red flames spewed out from the rear of the ships, chasing the giant wolf rapidly.

When they almost became small black dots in the sky, the quiet village became noisy. The villagers could not understand this level of war and were in chaos.

Leon immediately found his bag, and in addition to notes and adventure lanterns, he also had a key item for leaving the island - a boat beacon.

It is a product of the largest shipping company in the world, Kiwa, and is made of special mineral mother and child stones. The child stones fall off from the mother stone, and there is a spiritual attraction between the two.

Once the beacon is turned on, a passenger airship equipped with a mother stone compass will sense it and head to the location of the daughter stone beacon. It can be thought of as a mobile "bus stop."

This kind of beacon is only available to VIP passengers. Leon has been adventuring in the airspace for many years, and this is also part of his accumulation.

He cast a spiritual manipulation spell to make the child stones more spiritual, so that when they saw the mother stone's strong reaction, they would come over first, and the success rate was very high.

Seeing the fleet and the giant wolf, Leon felt that he should leave the island as soon as possible.

39. Visitors Under the Cover of Night (Please Read)

The passenger airship of Kangtanduo has not arrived yet, so Leon and Zoe go to rest first.

Late at night, the girl was sleeping soundly with her old bedding in her arms. She had a terrible sleeping posture and her feet were almost kicking Li Ang's face.

Leon was already exhausted and it was impossible for him not to sleep, but he adjusted the spirituality of the human body's rest mechanism, putting himself in a half-asleep and half-wakeful state, always on guard and even able to think.

Five days ago, he was also thinking late at night and thought of Zoe's identity.

Today, on this day, she fulfilled her destiny underground, but this was not the end.

Leon had thought about this before. Satus Island is isolated from the world, and she doesn't have a boat beacon like Leon. How did she leave in her main storyline?

Those warships and that wolf...

Just as he thought of this, Leon heard a loud roar. It was the sound of the airship's magic power reactor nearby.

He opened his eyes, fully awake.

He quietly stood up and walked to the window, where he saw a magical battleship floating in the sky of Satus Island.

Adjusting the angle, he saw the bow of another ship, indicating that they had surrounded Satus Island.
