Chapter 663 Xiaohua Enters the City
Da Chun first inspected the warships and dispatched one!
Another one? Da Chun was a little confused. Was this some kind of void war?
But upon closer reflection, perhaps both sides are simply being cautious? After all, a fleet isn't something you can just spawn in the wild; it requires a manufacturing process. A single battle could wipe them out completely, so they might not dare to go all in right away, and instead opt to place orders one by one first?

But that's not the point. The point is that the Chamber of Commerce channel hasn't said anything!

Are they not on board and haven't gone on the expedition? Or have they really blocked communication through the Chamber of Commerce channel? Should I go and check it out again?
Di Lian spoke up: "Father, if you are worried about the members, I can send a little flower into the city to look for them."

Is it that little dandelion flower again?
Da Chun was taken aback: "But that little flower went to the void exploration ship with the Ugly Emperor and the Earth Mother. You said you can only separate one little flower at a time."

Earth Lotus said, "There is only one flower that can be connected by soul, but that flower is too far away, and I can hardly contact it anymore. I can let it wither and break the connection. Now that I have become stronger, I can give birth to another one, and let this newborn flower come into the city to take a look."

Da Chun was surprised: "Does 'withering' mean 'dead'?"

Di Lian said, "It will bloom again. But I will need to be stronger before we can reconnect."

Oh, I see... Well, anyway, I can contact them if I have the Eye of Dillon.

"Then let's have another one."

"Good father, this one is even stronger..."

Da Chun thought of the Four Flower Goddesses. How long would it take for the Earth Lotus to reach their level?
While the lotus flowers were blooming, Da Chun switched back to his main account and adjusted the books that his main account was automatically reading. Now that he had graduated from the Ordinary Druid class, he would focus all his efforts on studying the Storm Druid class.

A row of system messages on the large side:

—System notification: Congratulations... on successfully advancing to the High-Rank Druid class. Class rewards gained: Attack +20, Defense +15, Health +100, Stamina +100, Load Capacity +100, Speed ​​+1, Mana +500, Spirit +5. Class skills gained: Basic Polymorph Lv. 1, Basic Windfury Lv. 1.

……

This is what I got from leaving the computer running all night!
However, Da Chun immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the upgraded class skills. Although he didn't know much about Druids, weren't Druids' signature skills various healing abilities, purification, plant control, and various thorns and root entanglements? Why was there not a single related skill in this textbook?

Could it be that I learned an abridged version of a fake druid? Or is his teaching material targeted, focusing on spirit possession, wind, polymorph, and omitting anything related to crows or herbal healing?
Actually, this is good, it's probably easier to learn this way.

Da Chun saw the Transfiguration spell and immediately checked the skill description—Transfiguration requires possessing a sufficient number of related spirits.

Um... If you want a spirit body, can't you just change it whenever you want?

No more agonizing over it. Da Chun laid out all the Storm Druid textbooks and started reading them automatically.

After settling into his larger size, Da Chun switched back to his smaller size.

Before long, a new flower of the Earth Lotus was born. Compared to the previous transparent white flower, this one had a dark gray background of emptiness.

Earth Lotus said, "My new little flower has a stronger ability to float actively, and it can control the wind direction more easily. So, Father, blow on it and send it flying."

Da Chun chuckled in surprise: "How much strength can I possibly have in one breath? Do you think the Queen could blow on it?"

"Yes, it's powerful."

Faced with her master's request, the queen took it very seriously. She took a deep breath, two breaths, three breaths... and her entire snake body swelled up to twice its size!

Holy crap! Won't this blow all the petals away? Quick, stop this magic!
"Okay, okay, go ahead and blow!"

A gust of wind blew out, and the little flower vanished from sight in an instant. That's impressive! That flight speed is fast too.

Then Da Chun activated Xiao Hua's vision and watched as Xiao Hua approached Hell City like the wind, getting closer and closer until she could see the city's structure clearly.

Da Chun suddenly realized that this city seemed to be twice the size of the Golden Throne! Moreover, the architecture was extremely artistic and magnificent, with all kinds of giant dragon statues throughout the city.

So this is Black Dragon Abyss City!

But Da Chun soon discovered that although the city was magnificent, it lacked refinement; at the very least, it didn't seem to have the dense golden light shield that enveloped the entire city like the Golden Throne.

Xiao Hua easily slipped into the air above the city streets, where she saw that all the NPCs in the city were moving in an orderly manner, almost like an army in formation.

Is this a special case during wartime, or do they queue like this in normal times?
Then, amidst the orderly queues on the street, Da Chun suddenly noticed a few particularly conspicuous and disorderly ones.

Upon closer inspection, holy crap, it was none other than the five female mercenaries I hadn't seen in ages! They were casually strolling around the streets.

So this is the benefit of order: it allows you to quickly identify disorder and saves you the trouble of searching for people.

Knowing that they weren't going to fight, Da Chun felt much more at ease.

However, the little flower is mainly used for communication, just like when the Ugly Emperor carried the flowerpot. These five have backgrounds and are not reliable, so they can't really be contacted. The only one who can be contacted is Xiao Nan, and the little flower can only land on her.

Let's just drift along and search slowly; there's no rush now.

Then Da Chun glanced at the evolution progress for the night: 84%!
Holy crap! This one night—no, let's just say half a night—was equivalent to a whole week! But after staring at the numbers for a long time, the decimal point value only moved slightly, nowhere near as dramatic as last night. It was clear that after half a night of calm, the "fertilizer" was settling down, and he needed to absorb it more quickly and not let trivial matters distract him and delay his progress…

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

The "War of Disobedience" in Black Dragon City has begun, and a relatively elite assault ship has been dispatched.

Uriel remained in the monitoring room, not participating in the battle, but instead broadcasting intelligence to Michael live.

However, Uriel was new and couldn't plant mines in the warships as early as Michael, so this battle posed a considerable challenge for Michael as well.

Fortunately, Michael successfully brought the Fourth Prince aboard the ship. The Fourth Prince's strength was indeed his audacity; he not only dared to steal but also dared to earn merit. Moreover, having the Fourth Prince on board had another advantage: Michael could always stop at any time under the pretext of ensuring the prince's safety, preventing the score-farming from getting out of control.

Just then, Uriel saw the winged serpent outside the city again on the monitor screen.

The winged serpent suddenly grew larger, then shrank, and then hid behind the meteorite again.

This strange phenomenon terrified Uriel: "Boss, is this winged serpent acting normally?"

Michael was also confused: "I don't know!"

Uriel was taken aback: "Could this be someone sent by the Empire to spy on us?"
