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

"Let's go and continue forward to see if there are any survivors!"

"Alright! Let me see what kind of monsters are causing trouble here. I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

March 7 responded immediately.

Xing was responsible for supporting the cloud cavalryman, while Wendy continued to hold the harp. As they moved forward along the road, they discovered more and more wounded people.

Not only are there cloud cavalry, but there are also some humanoid monsters covered with strange leaves. They are what the cloud cavalry call the rich evil creatures.

Wendy cast the Wind of Recovery as she walked, allowing the dying Cloud Cavalry to be healed. Some of those with serious injuries stayed where they were and waited for support, while others who had recovered their combat strength followed them. Even Xing used his strength to help them recover faster.

The original team of four soon turned into a whole team of cloud cavalry following. From the information provided by the soldiers, it can be confirmed that this chaos was a premeditated attack. As for the purpose, it remains to be speculated.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting was heard not far away.

"Miss Tingyun, please step back!"

March Seventh had sharp eyes and saw a Cloud Cavalry soldier holding a battle sword, desperately resisting the attack of another soldier who had fallen into the devil's body, and urging the people behind him.

"They have fallen into the devil's body and are no longer our comrades..."

However, his reminder was already too late. The fox girl who had been helping to take care of the injured had been surrounded by the revived demonic soldiers.

The situation was urgent. Before the cloud cavalrymen behind could join the battle, the fox girl over there seemed to have seen this group of strange reinforcements and shouted.

"Hey, heroes over there! Come and help~"

The charming voice made people feel tingling and numb, and they couldn't help but get hard.

Of course, I mean my fists—

Chapter 3: Driving the Sky

The battle process is very brief and not worth elaborating on.

No matter if they were ordinary evil creatures or poor souls who had fallen from the Cloud Cavalry into the Demonic Yin Body, their upper limit of strength still remained at the level of "soldiers" who charged into battle.

Although their recovery ability has been greatly enhanced, making them fearless and undaunted, for the pioneers, this type of enemy has long been easy to deal with.

The previous experience of defeating the Troll King on Snail-III had already given everyone a specific procedure for dealing with this type of "thick-skinned" enemy. Now they were naturally familiar with it, and the enemy's stubborn resistance could not even make a splash.

Not to mention, the Cloud Cavalrymen had been fighting against the abundant evil creatures for who knows how many years. Although they were all injured, their condition was actually improving steadily as time passed.

They can't play the role of the main force, but helping the Trail Blazers pay attention to the gaps in the defense and taking advantage of the situation is still within their reach.

Therefore, the battle was doomed from the very beginning.

And after the last abundant evil creature fell and never revived again.

The fox-eared girl who called for help also walked out confidently and bowed to everyone gracefully.

It was not until then that everyone noticed her uniqueness.

She had large fox ears, her soft brown hair combed into a flowing ponytail. Her emerald jade eyes seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, and her bright red eyeliner added a touch of charm. Her voice was sweet.

"Thank you all for your help. I have no way to repay you, but -"

"You're not going to say something like, 'I'm going to promise you my life' in front of all of us, are you?"

March 7th complained subconsciously.

But the fox-eared girl said with a smile.

"You are joking, benefactor. Although I admire you all deeply, I also understand propriety and modesty. How can you be so brazen as to ask for a life commitment on our first meeting? If anyone heard of such behavior, I'm afraid it would only make people laugh."

"Wow, your way of speaking... is truly unique. Oh, by the way, we haven't asked your name yet. What is it?"

March Seven scratched his cheek and became interested in this sweet-talking fox-eared girl.

"I am Tingyun, the ferryman of the Luofu Tianbosi Merchant Corps. May I ask your name, sir?"

The fox girl who called herself Tingyun blinked her watery eyes and looked at the pioneers curiously.

"Your name is so polite! My name is March Seventh, and this is Uncle Yang, no, Mr. Walter Yang. And this is Xing, and the last one is—"

"I'm Wendy, a mere bard. Hello, Miss Tingyun~"

Wendy introduced herself in the same cheerful and lively tone.

This made the gentle smile in Tingyun's eyes look unnatural for a moment, but it was well concealed in his subsequent frowns and smiles.

"I see. Thank you all for your help, especially Wendy—should I call you Miss? Or Mr.?"

"Hey. It's all fine. I don't mind whatever you call me Miss Tingyun."

Of course other people would mind this kind of thing!

Although he thought so in his heart, Tingyun did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead revealed a hint of curiosity at the right time.

"Then I'll take it upon myself to address you as Miss Wendy. Ah, but there's one thing I'm still unclear about: the Xingcha Sea has been completely sealed off, and judging from your attire, you don't look like you're from the Immortal Boat. What are you doing here?"

She still smiled gently and warmly, but secretly made a hidden gesture to the Cloud Cavalry.

"If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid the Cloud Riders here will have to bear the pain and escort you all for a while."

Although they were taken care of by several people, in the face of justice, the Cloud Cavalry only hesitated for a moment and then surrounded them, but did not use weapons.

The leading cloud cavalryman spoke with a half-guilty and half-heavy tone.

"I'm sorry... Although we believe that this chaos has nothing to do with you gentlemen, we still need to ask you to explain the reason."

The implication is, of course, that if the pioneers really cannot give a reasonable explanation, they can only act impartially, even if it means offending their saviors.

The sudden change in the solemn atmosphere made San Yueqi subconsciously tighten his grip on the bow handle, and memories of being wanted by local forces in the past kept coming to his mind.

She tensed up, ready to break out at any moment. However, Uncle Yang patted her shoulder gently, signaling her to relax and let him handle it.

Walter, who looks mature and steady, and has a righteous demeanor, naturally has a convincing personal charm in his words.

"Please be patient, everyone. We are not illegal intruders. We have officially submitted a docking permit and entered the Immortal Ship from the Jade Realm Gate. However, we couldn't find our guide after landing, so we had to search all the way here."

"How is it possible? My ship entered the port last, the Jade Realm Gate was closed subsequently, and the Tianship Division has completely blocked the Xingcha Sea -"

Tingyun seemed a little "surprised" at Walter's statement, rather than "suspicious".

"Ms. Tingyun, I'm not lying. No one would leave such a big hole in their pockets if they could easily find out about something like this by checking the Jade Realm Gate's opening records."

Walter just pushed his glasses, his expression still looking calm and indifferent.

"Of course. It's worth mentioning that the staff member who granted us landing permission remained silent after that. I think there's something fishy going on."

"..."

Tingyun was silent, as if she was thinking about the truth in Walter's words, but soon she noticed Wendy's half-smile.

The fox tail behind her seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and a subtle electric current climbed up the girl's slender back. Her ears twitched, and then she pretended to smile.

"So, you benefactors are really the pioneers of the Star Train?"

"Ms. Tingyun, have you ever met anyone else who bears our name?"

"Well... not really. I just heard about the Black Tower Space Station being attacked and then being saved by the pioneers."

She looked at the few people quietly, appearing a little cautious.

"If it were in the past, I would have invited you all to the merchant group to have a chat and listen to the stories of true heroes. But right now, you have come at an inopportune time. The immortal ship has had an accident, and it is not suitable for hosting guests.

Regardless of whether you are here for sightseeing, seeking medical treatment, or doing business, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

As the Cloud Cavalry nodded, Wendy stepped out and stood shoulder to shoulder with Uncle Yang, saying with some distress.

"Huh? Really? The reason we came here is actually because of my incurable disease."

"Incurable disease?" Ting Yun chewed for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Although I'm not good at medicine, I know a bit about face reading. Miss Wendy, your forehead is full and your complexion is rosy. You don't look like someone who is dying..."

"I'm worried. I can see I won't survive this year. Sigh... It's a pity that my poems have nowhere to be sung. I'm afraid they will be covered in dust in the future."

Wendy lied with her eyes open, and March 7 couldn't help laughing, but was reminded by Xing and quickly pretended to be "sad".

"Is it that serious? Are you serious? You clearly cured several Cloud Cavalry brothers before..."

It has to be said that even Tingyun was a little surprised at the other party's ability to talk nonsense.

"There's an old saying in Xianzhou that goes, 'A doctor can't heal himself.' I'm pretty much the same—"

Wendy waved her hand, looking melancholy and sad.

The boy has a good appearance, and what happened in Barbatos' memory is real, which provides him with a good space to perform, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

This made the Cloud Cavalrymen who had received the favor a little overwhelmed. They were just soldiers, not high-level officials, and their values ​​were simple and pure.

The person came in with formal procedures and helped everyone a lot before. Now he is detaining the benefactor who came to Xianzhou for medical treatment... Isn't it a bit cruel?

Despite wearing helmets, the hesitation of the Cloud Cavalrymen was visible to the naked eye, so Tingyun's previous reasons were untenable.

She had no choice but to continue, "Well...how about this, for the sake of your benefactor's safety. Let's first seek refuge in the Xingcha Sea Center, and then go to see Master Yukong, who is in charge of the Tianbo Division, and let her determine the authenticity. Regardless of whether we stay or go, I will ask Master Bailu to see you. How about this?"

Walter thought about it and quickly agreed.

In fact, he had been cautious before coming down. The Star Core Hunter hoped to prove his innocence, but for them, dealing with the crisis caused by the Star Core was one thing, and making up for the losses caused by the previous time disturbance was another.

Although the two are not contradictory, it is best not to try to link them together, otherwise it will easily be regarded as a conspiracy.

Just like Miss Tingyun who was making jokes from time to time and occasionally seeking information, as outsiders they were not welcome, at least not for now.

Therefore, according to what Wendy said, coming here to see a doctor and get treatment is more convincing than going directly to the core of the star.

Moreover, the situation Xianzhou was facing seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.

Those monsters that were knocked to the ground just now, or rather... the Cloud Cavalry's former comrades, did not show any wounds after their death, and even no blood was flowing. Their bodies were extremely intact, as if they had simply been burned to ashes.

Walter observed carefully while listening to the debate between March 7 and Tingyun in front.

"Look, you sound so sweet, but you're so ungrateful. We saved you, and you want the soldiers to arrest us!"

"My benefactor, I misunderstood. The situation is urgent, so I have to act with caution. If I were in your shoes, you would also be on guard."

"That's true. But it seems like every time we go somewhere, we get misunderstood. It makes me angry."

March 7th stamped his feet, venting his anger at this essential part of the pioneering journey.

"Alright, alright, benefactor, calm down. Let's look ahead first. I'd like to ask for a favor."

Blocking the way for everyone was a giant cargo box, which was obviously left behind by the previously evacuated Cloud Cavalry to serve as a roadblock.

If you want to get through here, you naturally have to use some tricks.

"...Sigh, I feel like I've done this kind of work many times before. Wendy, come on, that—"

San Yue Qi held his forehead and sighed, then looked at Wendy.

"Oh, you want a wind farm, right? No problem, no problem~"

After raising her hand to call for a wind field that allowed people to float, Wendy teased her.

"I always feel like Xiao Sanyue has become very dependent on me without realizing it."

"No, I think this is simply a victory in terms of tool attributes."

Xing, who had been quiet all this time, caused real damage the moment he spoke.

This made Wendy fall into depression all of a sudden. The sight of her playing the sad tune made Tingyun's tail hair droop.

Fortunately, the journey wasn't far. Otherwise, San Yue Qi would definitely not be able to bear being ordered around like this. After all, even if you don't hit someone who smiles at you, being ordered around like this by Miss Tingyun wouldn't make them look like errand boys, right?

After all, you are a pioneer exploring the unknown in the interstellar space. How can you tolerate this injustice?

With this "rebellious" mentality, after finding the boat that Tingyun mentioned to leave Liuyun Ferry, they were blocked by the secret teachings of the Medicine King that suddenly appeared, which made everyone act more vigorously.

Although Walter was not interested in these body cultivators who longed for the secret of abundance and used it to embark on the so-called "ascension to immortality", their armor and weapons undoubtedly had access to the secret of "immortality".

It is not surprising that those who fill themselves up by attacking and absorbing, no, it should be said that they take the lives of others will fall into a situation where everyone hates them.

Not to mention that this group of lunatics do more than just these immoral things. They also secretly sell illegal drugs, which is also part of their business.

After gaining a new understanding of the current situation of the Immortal Boat, the pioneers successfully boarded the Star Raft and headed towards the center of the Star Raft Sea.

……

The Star Raft flew very fast and arrived at the administrative center here without keeping everyone waiting for long.

"Then please allow me, on behalf of the Tianbo Division, to welcome all of you to the Xingcha Sea."
