Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

When Lin Lan and everyone else were climbing the mountain, they discovered that the hill was covered with green wind element flowers.

Apart from this, all that remains on the mountain are collapsed ruins that have long been severely weathered.

This also forced him to let the Kaohsiung-class sisters use their heavy cruiser main guns to continuously open up paths through the ruins.

There is no way. There has been no trace of human arrival here for many years, and there is no road to walk on.

According to Shen Lianying, there should have been a teleportation barrier at the foot of the mountain that could directly teleport to the ancient altar of the island core on the mountain.

Unfortunately, now they can only climb the mountain on foot.

Lin Lan had thought about having everyone summon the Butterfly of Light to fly directly to the top of the mountain, but was dissuaded by Shen Lianying.

There is a high possibility that there are still some small remaining barriers in the air deep in this ancient ruins, and it is easy to get hurt if you hit them.

And the truth is just as Shen Lianying said.

The reconnaissance carrier-based aircraft crews of the Flying Eagle and the Falcon Eagle soon encountered an invisible strange force blocking them in the air and were unable to fly directly above the mountain.

If he insisted on having the Sakura Empire's ship girls fire anti-aircraft guns to clear out these small fragmented barriers, that would not be a problem.

But since they have already arrived at the foot of the ancient altar of the island core, Lin Lan feels that instead of wasting time clearing these small barriers in the air, it would be better to go directly into the mountain, find the time key fragments as soon as possible, and then return.

The barriers within these ruins can be left to the subsequent adventurers and the Tianou Group to clean up the mess.

He gathered those guys together just to do this kind of hard work.

On the way up the mountain, Lin Lan also discovered something strange.

At the foot of the mountain, the relic monsters and wind element island core guardians that appeared from time to time have all disappeared.

There was no other sound on the hill except their conversation and the explosions from Kaohsiung and her men's firing.

Even when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they had not encountered any attacks from monsters or island core guardians.

"Commander, something must be wrong. I think we need to prepare for a battle with X."

Senior Mikasa also realized that something was wrong at this time.

This experienced senior from the Sakura Empire had a very keen sense of the crisis on the battlefield, so he solemnly reminded Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was of course aware of this.

They are not on the sea now, where they can deploy their troops and attack the Demon King's army from a distance.

If they were surrounded and ambushed by the Demon King's army during the next climb, things would be quite troublesome.

He was not worried that the Demon King's army's attack would hurt the Sakura Empire's ship girls, but he was worried that the Sakura Empire's ship girls would come into contact with the X-corrosive substances.

Although he has the Touch of Divine Mercy, which can drive away X-invasion

The skill of erosion, but this is at best just a backup.

The most important thing is to avoid letting the Demon King's army get close to them.

Therefore, Lin Lan did not hesitate to let all the Sakura Empire ship girls unfold their ship equipment and turn on the radar to search for the enemy.

At the same time, he also took several talismans that had been drawn long ago in his hands, ready to activate the power of breath at any time.

At this time, we can no longer be as relaxed as we were at the ancient island core ruins at the foot of the mountain.

The sisters Kamiesakura also took advantage of the time before reaching the top of the mountain to tell everyone about many of the skills mastered by the Demon King's army.

In addition to skills such as mental attacks, the Demon King's army also has many skills that can conceal itself.

All the power that the Demon King's Army had before being corroded by the X-Corrosion Item can be used after becoming the Demon King's Army.

However, these skills will also be tainted with the aura of X, and their lethality will be even greater than before.

Just like that, as everyone advanced with utmost vigilance, they were finally about to reach the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, the ambush by the Demon King's army that Lin Lan was worried about did not occur.

He thought about it carefully and agreed.

If the Demon King's army really existed in the deepest part of the ancient ruins of the island core, why would they have to wait here for a thousand years?

Without the brave warrior Yuki, the Demon King's army would have completely withdrawn to the Nine Islands of Liaozhou in the past thousand years.

But if the abnormal situation here is not caused by the threat of the Demon King’s army, then what threat is it from?

Lin Lan frowned, constantly thinking about what tricks Yuki had used in Liaozhou a thousand years ago after he sealed himself and the entire Demon King's army.

"boom!"

As Atago used the ship's main gun to blast away the last piece of ruins on the road ahead of everyone, Lin Lan finally saw the appearance of the top of the mountain.

The architectural style of the collapsed ruins along the way around them was completely different from the ruins at the foot of the mountain.

Not only are many buildings carved with weathered and blurred patterns, but even a large number of collapsed buildings are inlaid with yellow and green gemstones.

There is no doubt that this was the former city center of Inabashima's flower capital.

If Lin Lan hadn't told Mingshi and the others not to leave the team without permission, this little profiteer would have already taken out the tools and called on everyone to pry the gems off the buildings along the way.

"Commander, that is the ancient island core altar."

"If the Time Key fragments are still in the ancient ruins of the island core, they must be stored there by Yuki."

When Shen Lianying saw the ruins on the flat top of the mountain, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

The last time she came here, it was still a prosperous city with countless Liaozhou people of all ethnic groups coming and going.

The Yinglong girl even saw many iconic collapsed building walls, and countless memories came to her mind.

But now, the prosperous city in her memory has become only broken ruins after a thousand years.

Even so, she still took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and pointed out the destination of their trip to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan and the Sakura Empire ship girls looked in the direction Shen Lianying pointed.

It was a huge blue-gray stone building standing in the middle of the flat area on the top of the mountain, the only one that had not been weathered and collapsed.

A lost altar

.

To be precise, it was a green square altar that was covered in dust and was seven or eight stories high.

On the huge stone wall of the altar, there are plant patterns that are visible to the naked eye and have long been blurred.

"Is this the island core altar? I remember you said before that this altar can collect the power of faith and transform it into blessings for believers?"

After observing the appearance of the altar, Lin Lan asked Shen Lianying for confirmation.

Just observing from this distance, he really didn't realize that this ancient altar could have such magical effects.

Shen Lianying nodded to him with great confidence and said:

"That's because the island's core altar has not yet been activated."

"Once the altar is activated from the inside by someone with the bloodline of the island master, all the wind elements and power of faith on the entire Inaba Island will gather in the altar."

After saying that, Shen Lianying finally added:

"Of course, as a brave commander, you also have the ability to open the altar."

Lin Lan nodded. If the time key fragments were stored there, things would be much simpler.

They only need to enter the altar building, find the Time Key fragment, and then set off for Blade Forge Island.

This altar is here anyway, and they can wait until Yuki is rescued, and then let Yubari and Akashi study the principles of absorbing and transforming the power of faith here.

However, just as Lin Lan was about to lead everyone to the altar, Yun Xian frowned slightly as he observed the ruins of the collapsed mountaintops around him.

"Commander, look...what is that?"

Yunxian's sudden words attracted the attention of Lin Lan and the surrounding Sakura Empire ship girls.

They followed Yun Xian's gaze and looked towards the collapsed ruins, and were all stunned.

Even Amagi and Musashi, who were usually calm, were shocked and showed expressions of disbelief.

Because underneath the collapsed wall of the ruins that Yunxian was looking at, there was actually a large piece of dark red metal that was severely rusted.

Except for the sisters Shen Lianying, they all recognized what it was.

"How is this possible? Isn't this the ship uniform of the Siren Executor?!"

"And it's an Explorer-type ship suit?!"

Lin Lan could hardly believe his eyes and shouted what the red rusted metal object was.

That's right, although its main guns and torpedo tubes have long been rusted to the point where the original metal color can no longer be seen, and they are severely damaged and deformed.

But Lin Lan can be 100% sure that it is definitely the Siren Executor, the explorer ship equipment of the destroyer type!

Why would the remains of the Siren Executor appear in a place like this?

Chapter 762: Island Core, Origin of Power, X (3500 words)

Moreover, the fact that the ship's equipment was rusted to such a serious extent proved that it was definitely caused by the passage of a long period of time.

You know, the Siren's ship equipment is an alloy smelted with special Rubik's Cube technology, so it won't corrode so easily.

"Commander! Over there! There is also an Executor's ship suit over there!"

"My lord, there are the wreckage of a mass-produced heavy cruiser over there!"

With Yunxian's first discovery, Xuefeng and Kuroshio soon also found other types of Siren fleet wreckage among the collapsed ruins.

This was just what they saw at the edge of the ruins on the top of the mountain.

Lin Lan could hardly imagine how many wreckages of the Siren fleet were piled up in such a large-scale ruins on the surrounding mountaintops.

"Tsk, could it be that the Siren had already come to this alien world thousands of years ago?"

Akagi stated this possibility with an unhappy look on his face.

This is also the first thought that comes to almost everyone's mind.

Even Lin Lan felt a chill down his spine after hearing what Chi Cheng said.

Thinking back to when we were in Dongyun City, the Siren was able to create the battlefield between the Natlan Empire and the Orlan United States more than 200 years ago in the mirror sea...

Could it be that the Sirens really had arrived in this strange world thousands of years ago?

Isn’t this too exaggerated?

Questions instantly filled Lin Lan's mind.

So when he came to his senses, he just saw Akashi and Shimakaze, who were about to walk towards the explorer ship wreckage closest to them for a closer observation.

Almost at this moment, Lin Lan suddenly thought of something that made him shudder.

Even his heart suddenly stopped for a beat because of this guess.

He remembered that his invisible breath power had the ability to use black shadows to transform into the appearance of sirens and ship girls.

The Will of the Invisible Breath is still in the game, and its name suffix when it is a boss is -

X Penumbra!

"No! No! That's not the wreckage of the Siren!"

"Shimakaze, quickly bring Akashi back! Everyone, fire at the wreckage with all your might!"

Lin Lan's pupils shrank sharply, and he almost shouted these two sentences. At the same time, he immediately activated his commander's weapon.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Although the Sakura Empire ship girls didn't know why he suddenly gave this order in such an emotional state, it didn't stop them from doing it immediately without hesitation.

And Shimakaze, who was closest to the wreckage of the explorer's ship, grabbed the little profiteer's waist and picked him up before he could react.

The fastest destroyer girl in the Sakura Empire was actually sprinting towards the main force at high speed while holding Akashi in her arms, with her body pressed against the edge of the shell's trajectory.

But the speed of the island wind was obviously very fast, but a scene that made everyone gasp in shock appeared afterwards.

The originally rusted remains of the explorer's ship suddenly turned into dark black, twisted claws, and grabbed towards Shimakaze and Akashi.

However, before they could catch up with Shimakaze and Akashi, dozens of main gun attacks from the Sakura Empire fleet arrived head-on.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, the earth-shaking sound of artillery explosions rang out from the top of the mountain.
