Please be my partner.

Hola's voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of disappointment.

Moon Shadow Garuru sighed inwardly and said, "Teacher, with the right weapons, my strength will be greatly improved, and I can try to break through the 20th floor of the Moon Tower. Then I can naturally exchange it for the rewards of the Moon Washing Pool."

"But if I redeem the Moon Washing Pool reward now, then it will take me a lot longer to pass the 20th floor of the Moon Tower, which is also a waste for me."

Hora was stunned after hearing this. What Yueying Garuru said did make some sense. His anger subsided a little, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "Yueying, you have to understand that every choice you make now is related to your future. You should discuss it with me before making a decision."

The reason why Hora was so angry was because he valued Moon Shadow Garuru very much. If anyone else made the same choice, Hora would probably just treat it as a joke.

Moon Shadow Garuru said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher. I was so excited after completing the tenth floor of the Moon Tower that I forgot to discuss it with you. I won't do it again next time."

After Huo La calmed down, he felt a little sad in his heart. If you have talent, you can be willful. Even if you take some detours and suffer some losses occasionally, it doesn't matter.

Now that the choice has been made, what else can I do? Naturally, I have to help my student plan and strive for more benefits.

Huo La sighed and said, "It's my fault too. I didn't expect you to act so quickly. I should have told you earlier."

"This Moon Washing Pool baptism requires the consumption of a special kind of moon energy. The number of open spots in each Moon Washing Pool is limited. If you miss a spot, you may have to wait an extra year. Therefore, the sooner you get a spot, the sooner you can enter the ranking."

Moon Shadow Garuru showed a look of sudden realization and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, teacher."

Huo La nodded slightly and said, "You must remember this lesson. Think twice before you act in the future."

Moon Shadow Garuru showed an expression of obediently accepting instruction.

Hora said, "Since the rewards for the tenth floor of the Moon Tower have been confirmed, even I cannot go against the rules of the Moon Shadow Order. Naturally, there is no possibility of changing them."

"However, there are also differences among the Fighting Soul Clan. Some Fighting Soul Clan members have strong talents, and their transformed weapons have higher potential and are more likely to resonate with the contractors, while others are a little worse."

"Just follow the normal procedures of the Moon Shadow Cult. I'll ask some acquaintances to release a batch of high-quality Fighting Spirits for you to choose from."

Yueying Garuru sighed inwardly, but said respectfully on the surface, "Thank you, teacher."

Hora nodded with satisfaction, and then began to explain extraordinary knowledge to Moon Shadow Garuru.

Two days later, the process that would have taken ten days or half a month was quickly completed, and Yueying Garuru successfully obtained the qualification to go to Liuhuo Island to contract the Fighting Spirit Clan.

Hora naturally went there personally with Moon Shadow Garuru. This doting attitude made Hora's close subordinates and family members envious. Of course, they absolutely did not dare to show it.

Half a day later, the group entered the sea, and after several more hours, a huge island came into view.

The Island of Flowing Fire is a relatively regular oval shape, with a total area of more than 2 square kilometers. In the center of the island there is an active volcano that occupies one-third of the entire island area, and violent earth vein fluctuations are constantly emitted from it.

However, after the Moon Shadow Order's arrangement, the active volcano on the Flowing Fire Island will not only not erupt, but will be able to continuously provide energy for the people on the island.

Before landing on the island, the group was subjected to a very strict inspection. Hola and his friends did not care about it, as they were obviously used to it.

After landing on the island, a guard captain explained the various rules of the island to several people. Although his tone was respectful, his words did not leave any room for maneuver, and he directly stated that anyone who violated any relevant rules would be severely punished by the Moon Shadow Order.

Moon Shadow Garuru understood that these words were mainly spoken to it, so it pretended to listen carefully.

The captain of the guard was very satisfied with Moonshadow Garuru's performance. He originally thought that a genius like Moonshadow Garuru would definitely be a little arrogant. In addition, his saint teacher personally supported him, so he might be annoyed by them in the next few days. Unexpectedly, Moonshadow Garuru looked like a very easy person to talk to.

Under Hora's leadership, Moon Shadow Garuru met a high-ranking member of the Moon Shadow Order stationed on the Island of Flowing Fire, a powerful figure at the peak of the Saint realm.

Dino looked at the Moon Shadow Garuru standing respectfully beside him and said with a smile: "Hora, I didn't expect you would accept students."

Hora glanced at Yueying Garuru and smiled as well, "I'm also fond of this kid. Besides, Yueying is indeed quite talented and has great potential to become a saint in the future."

Dino said, "It's rare to see you praise someone so much. It seems you are really satisfied. I will wait and see."

As he spoke, Dino took out a palm-sized round metal plate and said to Moon Shadow Garuru, "Take it. This is my gift to you."

Moon Shadow Garuru hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hora, who smiled and said, "Hurry up and take it."

Only then did Moon Shadow Garuru accept it.

Dino and Hora exchanged pleasantries for a while before going their separate ways.

Moon Shadow Garuru finally had time to examine the metal plate in his hand. On one side was a full moon, and on the other was an abstract mountain. He looked at Hora and asked, "Teacher, what is this?"

Huo La smiled and said, "Tomorrow when you choose the Fighting Spirit Clan, show this to the guide and he will naturally know what to do."

Moon Shadow Garuru suddenly realized that this metal plate could allow it to choose a better Fighting Spirit Clan to make a contract with.

After dinner, Moon Shadow Garuru returned to the guest room and began to think about his next move.

The purpose of Moon Shadow Garuru lurking in the Moon Shadow is very simple, which is to determine the location of the Fighting Soul Clan, and then help the master locate it so that the Fighting Soul Clan can be rescued at one time.

So far, everything has gone smoothly. The various plans based on the intelligence have already allowed Moon Shadow Garuru to reach the island where the Moon Shadow Order keeps the Fighting Spirit Clan captive. So, the next step is clear...

1. Determine the location of all Fighting Soul Clan members as much as possible, which naturally includes those imprisoned Saint Fighting Soul Clan members.

The Fighting Soul Clan has the concept of clan magic weapons. If there are only a few scattered clan members left outside, it doesn't matter. But if the Moon Shadow Cult still controls many powerful Fighting Soul Clan members, it is still possible to cultivate a large number of new Fighting Soul Clan members, which will affect the entire clan in the future.

Therefore, Mellen's action is to catch all the fighting spirits in one fell swoop as much as possible.

2. Complete the guidance of Melen.

Mellen and Gouzi can summon each other through a contract, and this ability allows them to quickly complete the gathering.

However, this summoning ability still has some problems in the current situation. Firstly, the Shadow of the Moon belongs to a special realm, and secondly, there are a large number of demigod-level arrangements on the Flowing Fire Island, which is equivalent to having double protection.

If Moonshadow Garuru rashly uses his summoning ability to call Melen over, the Moonshadow Order will almost certainly react and interfere. Once the Moonshadow Order determines that Melen's target is the Island of Flowing Fire, and Melen cannot arrive there in the first place, things will become uncontrollable.

Melen and Moonshadow Garuru were well prepared for this. The teleportation array set up by Xiaoyue Valley was designed to deal with this situation.

Many times, taking a detour does not mean that the distance is 'increased', it may also be a 'shortcut'.

When everything is ready, Melen will invade the Shadow of the Moon through the teleportation array. This will not only bypass a layer of protection directly, but also have a certain confusing effect.

Then let Moon Shadow Garuru summon Melen to the Island of Flowing Fire. Since he only needs to deal with the arrangements of the demigod on the Island of Flowing Fire, the resistance will be much smaller. By then, it is entirely possible for Melen to achieve his goal before the Moon Shadow Order can react.

The plan goes through!

The next morning, Moon Shadow Garuru went to select the Fighting Spirit Clan under the guidance of the guards on the island. It showed the metal plate, and the guards immediately understood. Even their expressions became much more lively, and they enthusiastically took Moon Shadow Garuru to the island.

Along the way, Moon Shadow Garuru asked questions casually. Since it had Dino's token, the guards naturally had no suspicion and told it almost everything they knew.

Just when Moon Shadow Garuru was trying to indirectly get information about the Saint Fighting Spirit Clan, it was suddenly stunned, because as it approached the center of Flowing Fire Island, it keenly sensed the aura of more than ten saints.

The auras of these saints varied in strength, but without exception, they all exuded a very weak aura. Did they seem seriously injured? Or perhaps... restrained and suppressed?!

Moon Shadow Garuru looked towards the active volcano, a smile on his face, and said, "Finally, I found it!"

The guard didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion: "What did you say? What did you find?"

Xiaoyue Valley, underground cave.

More than a dozen legendary shadow beasts stood still like solidified sculptures, and suddenly, they moved because they received orders from their master.

The legendary shadow beasts moved quickly and with clear division of labor. They quickly poured various resources into the altar and cut themselves to release large amounts of blood. The former was to provide energy for the altar, and the latter was to reduce the difficulty of transmission through their own breath.

"Boom!~"

Violent spatial fluctuations rippled out, almost instantly attracting the attention of all the powerful people above the Saint level in the Shadow of the Moon.

At the Moon Shadow Order headquarters, a lady in a blue evening dress was drinking elegantly. After sensing the spatial fluctuation, her expression changed slightly, and she suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of Xiaoyue Valley.

After issuing a few brief commands, the lady in the blue evening dress suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the saints of the Moon Shadow Order in various places all had solemn expressions on their faces. They either used their communications to contact each other, or gathered towards the Moon Shadow Order headquarters, or simply went to investigate in the direction where the spatial fluctuations appeared. Their actions varied.

On the Island of Flowing Fire, Dino naturally could not leave at will because he had a garrison mission. While maintaining communication with the headquarters, he ordered the guards on the island to strengthen their vigilance.

In Xiaoyue Valley, the space was fluctuating more and more violently. Amidst the constant distortion, a crack gradually opened up, forming an unstable portal.

"Buzz!~"

Two giant dark hands suddenly stretched out from the unstable space portal, then grabbed the edges and slowly exerted force. The unstable portal expanded and stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a minute, a space gate a hundred meters high appeared, accompanied by countless electric lights pouring down, and Melen stepped out of it.

Melen looked around and could clearly feel that this world held a deep malice towards him, and this malice was rapidly gathering under the control of some force, trying to turn into a tangible force to wipe him out.

Melen looked calmly in a certain direction, where a demigod's aura was rushing towards him.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Melen said to himself: "It's too late."

As the light and shadow changed, Melen's figure disappeared.

Ms. Blue Moon sensed Mellen's disappearance and stopped immediately, but a moment later her face changed drastically, and she burned her own strength to speed up and rush towards the Flowing Fire Island. At the same time, the news that the enemy's invasion target was the Flowing Fire Island also spread quickly among the top leaders of the Moon Shadow Order.

Dino was a little dazed when he first received the news, but when he checked the Flowing Fire Island through the island authority, his expression immediately turned ugly.

When Dino and Hora hurried to the center of the island, they saw a scene of extreme chaos.

A large number of guards and fighting spirits were fighting with a dog covered in sharp blades. The dog with sharp blades killed the guards without mercy, but for the fighting spirits, the dog with sharp blades was cautious even when it was attacked, as if it was afraid of hurting them.

On top of the volcano, Hora's student followed a young man and seemed to be talking about something excitedly.

Dino's eyes flashed, and he looked at Hora with a little more suspicion, then kept some distance from him without making any expression.

Hora looked dazed, looking at Yueying Garuru in disbelief, and said, "Yueying, you...you...why is this happening?"

Moon Shadow Garuru turned to look at Hora, sighed, and said, "Sorry, I'm undercover."

Huo La was still in disbelief and asked, "I think so highly of you, I'll give you a chance..."

"Fake!"

"I treat you as my own son or nephew, and I will give you preferential treatment..."

"Fake!!"

"I will take you to join the Moon Shadow Order headquarters and teach you extraordinary knowledge..."

"Fake!!!"

"I've been so kind to you, considering you my successor. I've even wanted to introduce you to a girl of the right age in the family. How could you..."

"Fake! Fake!! These are all fake!!"

Moon Shadow Garuru looked at Hora and said with some pity, "Teacher Hora, haven't you realized yet? All your thoughts and your good feelings towards me were just implanted in you by the master."

"None of this belongs to you!"

With a loud bang, Hora's brain seemed to explode, and his gaze unconsciously turned to the young man whom he had deliberately ignored from beginning to end.

Fragments of memories flashed back in my mind...

Out on a mission... easily subdued on his way back... manipulated by illusions, he revealed a vast amount of secret information about the Order of the Moon Shadow... and had his thoughts forcibly implanted...

All unreasonable behaviors during this period have reasonable explanations!

Chapter 523 Success and Leaving

While Hora was talking to Moon Shadow Garuru, Meren had lost interest and turned his attention back to the active volcano in the center of the Flowing Fire Island.

In addition to utilizing the endless energy here, the Moon Shadow Order's arrangement also turned the entire volcano into a huge cage, imprisoning the saints of the Fighting Spirit Clan.

If you want to save these Fighting Soul Saints, you must break the cage, but that will detonate the volcano, releasing the energy accumulated in it for countless years in the most violent way.

If these energies are deliberately guided at that time...

No! Rather, these energies would be deliberately channeled and released towards the person who broke the cage. Even a demigod would have to be cautious in dealing with an attack of this magnitude and strength.

As for those below the level of demigod, I'm afraid they will be completely annihilated as long as they are within the range of Flowing Fire Island!

It was precisely because of this tricky situation that Mellen did not act rashly. He needed some time to decipher the arrangement in the volcano.

The veins on Dark Blade's forehead were throbbing and his blood pressure was soaring. No matter how hard he tried to explain to these new Fighting Spirit Clan guys, the latter just wouldn't listen and looked at him with a look of deep hatred and resentment.

But this is normal. Although the Fighting Soul Clan is kept in captivity by the Moon Shadow Order, if they have been receiving relevant education and brainwashing since birth, they will naturally take it for granted.

Now that Mellen and Dark Blade have invaded their 'homeland', it is understandable that the Fighting Spirit Clan is determined to resist to the death.

But this gave Dark Blade a headache. It asked Mellen through the contract: "Mellen, how long will it take you?"

Mellen didn't answer, but looked at the silver ball of light floating beside him.

Professional matters should naturally be left to professionals. Melen is responsible for exploring the layout of the volcano through spatial perception, and then passing the collected data to Xiaoyin's clone, who will calculate the best solution to crack it.

Ever since Mellen obtained the α-07 Macross and let Xiaoyin take over it, Xiaoyin began to continuously improve himself through the technological knowledge of the Alpha clan he interpreted. Coupled with the sublimation of hardware, the current Xiaoyin is no longer the same as before, and even Xiaoyin's clone has also made a leap forward.

After Melen collected enough data, Xiaoyin's clone quickly calculated an effective plan, which included both the omissions in the arrangements on Liuhuo Island and the damage caused by insufficient maintenance after long-term use.

Xiaoyin's clone placed several nodes in front of Mellen's eyes. As long as these nodes were disconnected, the energy circulation of the Flowing Fire Island could be blocked in a short time and the cage could be closed.

Of course, if this is done, the redundant energy will quickly accumulate and become overloaded, and the entire Flowing Fire Island will still not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

Mellen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

The little silver clone flashed slightly in response, and then returned to the fairy tale kingdom. It still had 532168 experimental projects to conduct and follow up, and there was no time to waste.

Dino's face looked extremely ugly. Although there were only three people invading the Flowing Fire Island, his bad premonition became stronger and stronger. At the same time, he also found it difficult to understand these invaders.
