Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

"Yes!"

The patrolling soldiers continued to brandish their swords and weapons while forming a human wall with their bodies to prevent the monsters from attacking the crowd behind them.

But from time to time, a soldier would fall down, and then stand up again in a strange and terrifying posture.

Their bodies gradually became alienated, and golden ginkgo leaves grew on them. Their limbs were covered with the color of the forest, and they became mentally confused and completely fell into a frenzy.

"Be careful! Another comrade has fallen into the demonic body, retreat quickly!"

The Cloud Cavalry, who had been able to maintain high morale, fell into an increasingly difficult situation as more and more monsters fell into the devil's body on the field.

And when no one noticed, a girl with fox ears quietly mixed into the team.

Chapter 2: Rescue, Action, Stop the Cloud

"Wow! Is this the Immortal Boat? It looks even bigger than Snail-III!"

San Yueqi opened her beautiful eyes wide, somewhat amazed.

The giant ship that appeared before everyone's eyes was worthy of the name of Immortal Boat. Its size was larger than the planet the pioneers had visited before.

"For the Xianzhou people, this ship is their 'planet'."

As if the scene brought back memories, Dan Heng reached out and gently touched the glass of the observation car, as if comparing it with his memory.

"The earth is an indispensable cradle for the survival and development of civilization. However, there are also civilizations that can break away from childhood and cruise in the void in starships... The Immortal Boat Alliance is one of them."

"When you described it to me earlier, I had no idea what it was like. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's truly magnificent."

Xing followed up with this.

"...Yeah. Even though I've seen it a few times,...I still can't forget this place."

Dan Heng withdrew his hand, his tone filled with a hint of loneliness and nostalgia.

"Hey...Wendy, look at Teacher Danheng's appearance."

Looking at him like this, March Seven nudged Wendy, who was also admiring the beautiful scenery of the Immortal Boat, with his elbow and muttered softly.

"This doesn't seem as simple as he said before, does it?"

"Mitsuki, you need to be more empathetic. Being homesick isn't something I can't understand, right?"

Covering her waist, Wendy responded with her slightly didactic words.

"For children who are not allowed to go home, there is nothing more emotionally complex than walking past their door and not being allowed in."

"..."

Dan Heng, who was standing aside and was not deaf, completely heard what San Yueqi and Wendy said, and remained silent at the right time.

Compared to the young boys and girls chatting here, the adults are currently in charge of the connection matters.

However, Ji Zi's furrowed brow and the intermittent repetitive signals on the platform had already revealed part of the situation.

"It seems that the Star Core Hunter was not deceiving us. Something really happened to the Immortal Boat..."

March 7, who originally had some complaints about Kafka, had to re-examine the current situation.

"A train traveling through space receives unknown coordinates and arrives at an uninhabited airport—oh oh, doesn't this sound like a sci-fi horror movie?!"

This deliberate joke to interrupt and ease the serious atmosphere did not work, and Danheng just frowned.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. According to what Kafka said, there's still a considerable amount of manpower on Luofu. We should arrive just in time."

Walter nodded in response and looked at Ji Zi.

"How is it, is the intelligent signal still repeating?"

"Yes, still repeating—ah, there it is!"

The signal that had been repeatedly broadcasting "Please wait patiently for the connection" changed to: "—The Jade Realm Gate is opening. On behalf of the "Immortal Boat Alliance: Luofu", I welcome guests from afar. Please follow the instructions and dock in an orderly manner—"

Everyone in the carriage looked at each other, and March 7 got goosebumps.

"Why do I feel like this signal is weird? It doesn't seem like it's from a staff member!"

"...Unclear, the signal has been interrupted."

Even Ji Zi felt that the matter was becoming increasingly suspicious.

"Don't worry. Since they've already hosted a banquet for us to attend, they won't resort to trickery in a place like this. This conflicts with what the Star Core Hunters want."

Walter said calmly.

"Let's pack up and get ready to get off the train. Also, Jizi and Danheng, you have to be careful on the train."

"It's okay. I believe Dan Heng can be a good guard. Besides, I'm not that bad-tempered. If they trespass on the train again, I believe Pam will teach them a lesson."

Jizi's smile was very gentle, but no one ignored the power in her words.

"Oh oh! It's rare that Jizi is serious. I have to work harder too!"

March 7th waved his fists and his morale was high.

"I am also a Knight of Hard Work."

Xing crossed her arms across her chest, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and inexplicably exuded a charm that was both frivolous and confident.

"Young man, that's great..."

Wendy, who was the most shy, spoke shamelessly.

"Huh? Speaking of which, Wendy, aren't you going to do that again this time?"

"that?"

"It's just a transformation. Wasn't it great when I transformed into Nashida before?"

"Please just forget about that!"

Wendy gets a stomachache when she mentions this.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it! Look, Nashida is small and soft, so cute!"

"No, that won't do. We have serious business to attend to this time. If we deliberately disguise our identities to enter in such a chaotic situation, even if we say we are innocent, no one will believe us, right?"

Wendy shook her finger and refused righteously.

But for some reason, San Yue Qi just thought that he was lazy and wanted to slack off.

Just when she was about to say something, Walter interrupted them at the right time, saying that the jump was ready and it was time to set off.

——Log in to the fairy boat.

"Wow, there are so many containers packed together that you can't even see the end of them."

As soon as he landed, March 7 was amazed at the huge scale of logistics.

"This isn't a place for passengers to check in, it's clearly a dock for unloading cargo! Who can give us directions?"

"This reminds me of when I received an invitation and stowed away on a boat to other countries to participate in music events..."

Wendy also reminisced.

"I still remember that right after I landed, I was caught by law enforcement. After a long interrogation, I finally found the invitation letter hidden in my hat and proved my innocence."

After hearing him share about the past, the creepy feeling of not seeing anyone on March 7th was reduced a lot, and instead a kind of complaining mood appeared.

It’s a pity that Xing became her mouthpiece.

"It's very Wendy-esque."

"Hey. If you think about it carefully, our current situation is similar to my situation back then, right?"

Wendy pointed at herself and smiled as cunningly as a cat.

"You suddenly boarded the ship without any prior notice during this special period, and you weren't formally invited. Who will you send when you meet the staff?"

"That's indeed the case..." San Yue Qi thought about it anxiously, and then decisively said, "Uncle Yang, what do you think we should do?"

"Don't worry. Let's start by finding the person who opened the Jade Realm Gate. If they have ulterior motives, it will save us some trouble. If they are a staff member, we can ask them what happened."

Walter was a man of great experience, having seen all sorts of storms and waves. This little nuisance wasn't too much of a problem for him, but Wendy's words made sense. Considering the potential interactions with the local security forces, it was best to be cautious.

Although he had some calculations in his mind, Walter still showed a calm and composed appearance, which obviously greatly strengthened March Seven's confidence. The pink-haired girl immediately ran to the front and said, "Then let's go quickly, don't let the mastermind escape!"

"Little Sanyue, be careful..."

It's useless to say it, but Walter is the only adult on this trip.

As they walked forward, they soon saw a wounded man lying on the ground.

San Yueqi, who was running in the front, hurriedly said, "Uncle Yang, look! There's someone injured here!"

Walter took a look at the other party's light silver armor, and his expression became more serious.

These are the "Cloud Cavalry" soldiers belonging to the Immortal Boat.

The other person was seriously injured, but after hearing the voice, he still raised his head tremblingly and struggled to see the face of the person who came.

"Front...front..."

He tried to stand up, but Walter gently pressed his shoulders and persuaded him: "You are seriously injured, don't speak."

"March, use Six-phase Ice to stop the bleeding... No, even if you control the dosage, it's still bound to cause illness..."

Walter paused, then turned to look at Wendy, asking for his opinion.

"Wendy, can you still perform the special recovery technique you used on Snail III?"

"Leave it to me. I can't heal him directly, but I can still help him recover from his near-death state."

Wendy took down the harp and gently plucked the strings. The wind carried the melody around the injured person, restoring vitality to the seriously injured body.

Although there are risks in having him perform treatment, the danger does not lie in the remnants of the pharmacist in his body.

After the last accident, those people have been completely absorbed by the eye of the storm, and there is no possibility of tempting others to fall into the devil's body.

So why talk about risks? Because Wendy's power is still in a stage of rapid expansion.

This is not only reflected in the previous abnormal movement, his power itself also carries this "overflow" characteristic, so if the opponent is directly restored to full health, the surging vitality will only burst the opponent.

Therefore, it is particularly necessary to strike a good balance and hit the mark just enough to help the other party catch their breath.

In this way, the "overflow" trait will only put the opponent in a stage of continuous recovery, and will not make him a new "human potted plant".

Even if we leave him here alone, I believe that after two or three hours, his injuries will be mostly recovered.

If I had to say the only drawback... it would probably be that in the next few days, the hair follicles might be stimulated by excess vitality, causing the body hair to start growing wildly.

But these are just minor problems. Growing hair is better than losing your life.

Therefore, although Wendy's treatment method was simple and crude, it was very effective. With the naked eye, the cloud cavalryman, who was listless and seemed to be swallowing at any moment, recovered to a certain state and regained consciousness.

"Um...my injury..."

The fallen Cloud Cavalryman felt his chest, which had been severely scratched by the abundant evil creature. Apart from the horrific wound, his internal organs were also seriously injured. He had originally prepared to die, but unexpectedly, he was rescued.

Although he still felt a dull pain in various parts of his body, he was able to move. This made him look gratefully at the person who treated him. This was a bard dressed in foreign clothes. He was young, but he seemed to have come a long way on the Road of Plenty.

"—Thank you for your assistance, unknown poet."

Although they have a strong hatred for the ancestor of plague and longevity, no one, even the people on the Immortal Boat, would insult the rich traveler who walked on this road, not to mention that the traveler was their savior.

The Abundance Walker and the Abundance Evil Creature are two different concepts, and the Immortal Boat Alliance is not so crazy as to kill anyone they see.

Furthermore, the Xianzhou medical system itself is inseparable from fertility, and this is not something that is difficult to acknowledge. Thanks to the research of numerous pharmacists and scholars, who continuously delve into its mysteries and abandon narrow-minded prejudices, this is the primary reason why the Xianzhou Alliance has conquered many diseases that were generally considered "untreatable."

"Hey. You're welcome. My abilities are limited, so I can only help you recover to this point."

Wendy winked playfully, and her sunflower-like smile made the Cloud Cavalry a little mesmerized, but he came to his senses in time.

"By the way, can you tell us what happened here?"

"Ah... well, there was a fierce battle here not long ago, and many lurking Famine creatures suddenly emerged and attacked indiscriminately!"

Speaking of this, Yunqiqi was also a little anxious. He struggled to stand up, covering his chest which was aching slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"We received the order to rush to reinforce, but we didn't expect the enemy to use some unknown means, causing our comrades to fall and then fall into the devil's body. We fought and retreated all the way, and I'm afraid the casualties at the front are even heavier!"

After hearing this information, Walter's bad premonition became stronger.

He had previously paid attention to the traces around him. Although it could be seen that no civilians had been killed, and it was thought that they had been evacuated in time, it was still unknown how many of the soldiers who stayed behind to resist would survive.
