Collapse, survive

A shadow-like figure traversed the cave, yet at the very moment of contact...

The demonic soldiers exploded instantly, spilling out filthy blood, which then flowed back as if alive, writhing, and bodily fluids that could hardly be called blood plasma, sprouting forth like golden branches.

"Is it Ms. Snowy Coat, whose online name is 'Snowy Coat'?"

"..."

Xueyi was unsure whether to reply to him.

He seemed to know himself, confirming something.

But the surrounding monsters don't recognize that!

Xueyi was surrounded and attacked. He didn't just watch. He pounced and immediately disappeared into the demon soldiers who were attacking her while she was still injured.

Xueyi found it unbelievable, because this was nothing short of an act of suicide.

Even in her puppet form, she couldn't be said to be immune to the devouring power of the demonic Yin soldiers. Driven mad, they ate anything, and the indestructibility of her 'Danfu' allowed them to even throw out her vital organs, feeding like a starfish...

Has this strange figure, seemingly rational, actually descended into madness?

That's true. Even if the people of the Immortal Ship were to be corrupted by the demonic influence, they would quickly go mad, because it is an extremely painful process, like putting two completely different things into a press to crush and blend them together.

he……

and many more!

It was not him who was devoured and absorbed, but rather those immortals who had fallen into demonic influence.

Although it was still difficult to see each other clearly, the moment they made contact, it became immediately clear which one was the more ferocious monster.

He wasn't even afraid of his personality being disintegrated by evil spirits, plunging him into madness, his body convulsing and flashing like a mosaic of black and white stripes, passively and actively coming into contact with all evil spirits that devoured him.

Do not touch!

Xueyi silently gripped her ever-present weapon, a flicker of understanding crossing her usually expressionless, beautiful face—this time, someone even more ferocious had arrived!

probably.

Fang Jie only needed to repeatedly expend the projected body's health bar, which couldn't cause even the slightest confusion in his consciousness. He didn't even feel anything; he simply gained... their power.

It has a kind of beauty to it, like space warriors hunting each other for genetic seeds.

"Say anything, anything is fine, it can be any wish you want to fulfill, just don't look at me with that evil look."

Fang Jie helped Xueyi out of her predicament, but this did not change the fact that her puppet body was tattered and torn by the blade, and even the demonic soldiers could not withstand her.

Before Yanqing suffered a setback, she was the one who was the one who suffered a setback!

"If you won't tell me, then I will—Xueyi, are you alright?"

Fang Jie is quite outgoing and familiar with people.

Xueyi replied coldly, "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."

She tried to do something, but couldn't move. To prevent her from interfering with what was to come, Blade treated her ruthlessly, regardless of her life or death.

"The machine is broken, I can't move."

Xueyi explained her current situation, then stared at the 'projection': "Who are you? Are you an outsider who bravely intervened during this calamity?"

"That's pretty much it, I am—"

It was an overlapping vibrato. As the coordinates were anchored, a burst of light erupted from the projection, like Ultraman Tiga who could go anywhere. Even though it was someone else's set, he was about to transform after being thwarted, but what appeared was someone else's version of him.

Then the striped squares shattered, like Seele with a butterfly, gradually breaking apart into countless small black and white squares, from which colorful radiance spread.

"The surprise troops the general invited."

Xueyi was startled and knelt on the ground, her palms pressed against the ground, holding a Demon-Slaying Cone in her hand, staring expressionlessly at the scene with its full-on special effects.

It's one of our own.

It's strange, but we're family.

Although it's evil, it's one of our own.

Fang Jie casually slashed, and bolts of black lightning, simple and unadorned, were drawn by the light, paralyzing all the demonic soldiers who looked over—difficult to kill, but not difficult to paralyze.

This utilizes the dormant mechanism of the abundant spiritual seeds within the Immortal Boat people's 'dan fu', which is a state of apparent death when energy is lacking.

Their vitality was taken away.

"According to the laws of the Ten Kings' Court, as a judge, I am not involved in external affairs. But since you helped me escape, I will give you a piece of advice: leave as soon as possible."

Xueyi silently watched this scene and tried to persuade him.

"And what are you going to do, just leave it here and ignore it?"

“My body is a machine-made object, not a mortal flesh and blood. You only need to summon the Cloud Riders and send me to the Earth Balance Bureau.”

"I might as well give you a ride."

Fang Jie is a very strange and clever girl. She rolls it up generously and uses a force field to make the small floating objects in the snow dress act as guides.

"I'm going to find my accomplices, I mean companions. I can give you a ride, please lead the way."

"You... are fine too."

Xueyi has already connected to the internet and investigated more information about their own people who are vouched for by the general, and so on!

"Did the Star Core Hunters lead you here?"

Her voice was cool and clear, but it didn't hide... This was too strange!

"Do you have a personal grudge?"

"I am here to get to the bottom of the matter and capture the wanted criminal - the Star Core Hunter. This man has extraordinary sword skills and holds a magical weapon. He is extremely dangerous."

Xueyi stated that it was not a personal grudge, but rather that she coveted lifespan and could exchange half a day of lifespan at the Ten Kings' Court for capturing a heinous criminal.

Unfortunately, this trip was a losing proposition.

"If it weren't for this strange turn of events, my lifespan might have been cut short."

"That strange turn of events, that..."

Fang Jie looked towards the direction of the Jianmu tree, and it was truly enormous. Even such a huge immortal ship could be seen from afar, clearly visible.

"That's right, outsiders."

Xueyi could feel that Fang Jie was not hiding anything, and the golden lotus he was holding in his hand was a very pure and abundant Xuan lotus, which was even slowly repairing her ingenious body.

It's clearly not made of flesh and blood...

"Don't mind it, it's Soul Steel, I added Soul Steel."

Fang Jie's method wasn't treatment, but repair, and he didn't explain what Soul Steel was. He said he could provide a supply if Xueyi liked it.

Life is tough, so I've started making a living by performing.

He's got his eye on a lot of good stuff.

"I know about Jianmu. It's an ancient artifact left by the Pharmacist on the Luofu Immortal Ship. It's a miracle that can shape life at will and conquer death. The ancestors of the Luofu Immortal Ship people obtained bodies with endless lifespans and transformed into immortal beings by consuming the divine fruit generated from Jianmu."

"It is also an eternal calamity for the universe."

Xueyi interrupted him earnestly, speaking with the tone of a judge admonishing him. This was the consistent attitude of the Immortal Boat people towards the outsiders, extolling the harm done to the wealthy and advising them not to seek immortality.

In addition, the Immortal Ship is open and welcoming to almost all civilizations. Even when faced with "medicine seekers" from other civilizations, as long as they are willing to give up their desire for immortality, the Immortal Ship will do its best to help with any difficult problems that other civilizations cannot solve.

"Go this way."

Xueyi suddenly broke free from being transported and took the initiative to lead the way, correcting the direction Fang Jie was heading.

Find a starship. She has only regained some mobility. The unknown strange material has filled her God of Ingenuity, which can be directly driven by consciousness, but it cannot be used for combat yet. Therefore, she cannot continue the mission and still needs to return to the Ten Kings Division to repair herself.

Fang Jie silently followed, looking at that figure from behind, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

The last time a high school student picked up a paralyzed woman... well, there are too many types. One high school student even picked up a blonde, big-breasted vampire.

He wasn't envious at all. With a casual strike, the lightning flashed beautifully, clearing the way ahead.

The Silver Wolf style works like this: exploiting a weakness is fleeting, and even if you can't break through it immediately, you can implant a weakness, and when a monster encounters her again, it will be teleported away.

Fang Jie couldn't directly sever the consciousness of these 'Immortal Ship People' by severing their four souls, and teleporting them away would easily cause accidental injuries, so he could only attack their weaknesses.

Don't worry about where the weakness comes from.

As for taking advantage of the situation to plant some 'genetic seeds'...

She finished her Star Core Essence and went to the Scale Abyss Realm to extract Vidyadhara Egg Cells.

Xueyi had no objection to this and accepted his self-proclaimed title of General Qibing.

Soon, the two reached deeper into the workshop and saw...

“Retreat, retreat, retreat!!”

An elderly man, who appears young at first glance, is performing a ritual, holding fast to his post amidst the spreading tree plague.

"The Industrial and Manufacturing Division is a confidential place. The thieves, retreat! Retreat quickly! Ahhhhhh!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Fang Jie laughed.

Xueyi visibly shuddered, and unusually said something superfluous: "Please don't misunderstand, the people of the Immortal Ship are not usually like that."

"What misunderstanding?"

Fang Jie remained calm; he was a man of great experience and knowledge, and this was nothing.

"You've misunderstood. I wasn't laughing at him, but at the people opposite him."

He was watching the first pioneering team; they were being exorcised by the old man.

"Back off! Don't come any closer! If you take another step forward, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Hey, listen to our explanation! We are not bad-"

On March 7th, a lively yet helpless voice rang out, trying to explain something.

"What's there to explain! It's nothing more than excuses like 'just passing by,' 'accidentally,' or 'the door was open.'"

"Today, the company was hit by a sudden disaster. I was sure that someone was causing trouble! It turned out to be just as I expected!"

"Since we can't rely on security, I'll let you guys have a taste of the power of this machine!"

The old man, reasonable and measured, summoned a multitude of friendships and bonds before charging forward to protect—

Peng peng pa pa dong dong dong!

Star Core Spirit is known for his baseball bat, and March 7th is not someone to be trifled with, while Uncle Yang... he seems to be having a lot of fun dismantling things.

"【Dense Cloud Golden Toad】! 【Daydreaming Dragon Fish】!...What's wrong with you! Stand up quickly! I've raised you like my own flesh and blood...Alas!"

His friendships and bonds crumbled, even faster than Yanqing's.

"If you're going to do it, then do it! Why smash these little things that have been with me for so long to pieces? Give me back the damages!"

This willful old man must be a terrible loser when playing chess.

So he was given a harsh lesson on March 7th: "You just wouldn't listen to our explanations! We're here to rescue people, and you just started hitting us without saying a word..."

Xueyi had no intention of going up to help, nor did Fang Jie.

As the Jianmu tree revived, its enormous roots, like coiled dragons, penetrated everywhere and spread outwards. The closer the cave was, the more likely it was to be affected. As a result, the Dan Ding Si and Gong Zao Si were both overrun.

At this moment, Fu Xuan led his troops to besiege the Medicine King's Secret Teachings at the Pill Cauldron Division, while the surprise troops, namely the First Pioneer Squad, followed Ting Yun's guidance and circled around from the Works and Construction Division, preparing to attack the Medicine King's Secret Teachings from behind.

However, at this moment, the Construction Bureau is surrounded by the roots of the Jianmu tree, and some energy nodes have even hatched 'abundant spirit beasts'. Needless to say, this road is blocked, and even the bridge leading to the Pill Cauldron Bureau has been destroyed in the great changes.

Especially this heavyweight, endless energy furnace of creation, which was not only completely destroyed, but also guarded by even more powerful spirit beasts.

So this isn't a problem that can be solved by whether or not you fly. The Immortal Boat Cave is huge, so huge that you have to use 'bridges' to travel back and forth at high speed. The Star Chariot can only accelerate at full power in these channels. Otherwise, you can just rush around recklessly and you'll suffer if you crash into the barriers between the caves. As for whether you can break through the spatial barriers between the caves...

The spatial barrier of the Six Departments of the Immortal Boat and the Department of Alchemy.

Go ahead and fight.

Don't assume that just because the Immortal Ship is heavily guarded on the outside, it's loosely guarded on the inside. Do you really think anyone can just break into the Jade Realm Gate, the only passage? Even if they could... Great talent, my friend, have you heard of the Netherworld Prison?

Uncle Yang was all smiles as he followed Xing and March 7th to clear the way, not holding back at all when taking apart the old man's toys. Tingyun was also there as a guide, and no one complained.

"..."

Snow Robe has a problem!
