Desperate Night

"Alright, your ships can also be repaired here. This is my territory, Emerald Island. Welcome to your arrival." Harvey spread his arms and smiled.

"Oh right, the stay costs one of those treasures you gave me per month." He skillfully made a gesture resembling an eyeball.

Yu Hong opened the door and walked out, his two-meter-thirty height making him look like a small giant in front of the other party.

He looked down at Harvey.

"Okay." He had dozens or hundreds of those eyeballs here, plenty to spare. If he ran out, he could just go catch more.

"Also. You're a bit too tall. It's best to shrink down a bit, otherwise people might mistake you for a member of the giant race, which would be annoying. Here, the giant race are basically all slaves. Even their royal family, the Titans, are mostly experimental materials. Anyway, they're all inferior races. Don't let people misunderstand that you have similar bloodlines. You'll be looked down upon," Harvey instructed.

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes shifted, and he instantly saw the deity Faisna, who had followed him out.

"Oh, you're even carrying around a little snack? Let me see, a pure natural nature god? This size is perfect for a bite. Just the right size. And it can regenerate itself after being eaten, not bad, not bad."

"...Who are you calling a snack!?!" Faisna was stunned at first, then became angry.

"A snack dares to talk back?" Harvey shook his head and looked at Yu Hong. "Nephew, your discipline is lacking. Let me tell you, these deities all have huge weaknesses, they are inherently inferior races. I used to find it novel and even raised a nature god for a while, but later I found it boring and stopped playing with it. Do you want me to help you discipline her?"

Yu Hong looked at the other party's sincere eyes and suddenly felt that the level of strength here might be higher than he had imagined.

"This... she doesn't actually have much to do with me," he replied sincerely.

Since the other party was so sincere to him, he naturally reciprocated with sincerity. Faisna had decided to leave, so he didn't need to take responsibility for her.

"Are you sure?" Harvey was stunned, then became even happier, "Then I'll make a move?"

"Uh, whatever." Yu Hong didn't know what method he planned to use, but as soon as he finished speaking.

Harvey suddenly raised his hand, and countless layers of blue light arrays lit up at his fingertips.

In an instant, with Yu Hong's powerful eyesight, he saw at least a hundred layers of rune arrays.

All the rune arrays cooperated and coordinated with each other, like an extremely precise machine.

The next moment, an extremely vast and terrifying heat burst out from the rune array, turning into a scarlet straight line of light.

Chih!

The light hit Faisna in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a piece of golden-like rune array also appeared all over Faisna's body, but the complexity and number were far less than Harvey's.

The two rune arrays faced each other.

Immediately, Faisna's rune array melted rapidly like ice meeting fire.

Faisna's little face, which was still angry just now, turned pale instantly when she saw this scene.

Immediately, she turned her head and shouted at Yu Hong.

"Save-"

Pfft.

Her whole body was accurately hit by the scarlet beam of the blue light array.

In a blink of an eye, she disappeared.

"..." Yu Hong thought that Faisna might lose, but he didn't expect that she couldn't even last for a second.

"I think, let's forget about it. Although she is a nature god, she can be considered a companion who came with me," He still couldn't bear it and pleaded for Faisna.

"It's okay, it's just rare to see such a good-looking one. I originally planned to take it back and eat it slowly. These nature gods can eat themselves and recover slowly, and they can be eaten once every period of time, which is very cost-effective. But since you said so, then I'll give you some face." Harvey decided to give Yu Hong some face for the sake of the strengthened eyeballs.

He waved his hand again, and suddenly a blue halo flew out, releasing Faisna's figure on the beach again.

Then, he and Yu Hong roughly talked about the arrangements for the future.

The Black Spirit was severely damaged, and the repair time required was estimated to be very long. Yu Hong paid a small deposit first, which was considered the cost of repairs here. Now, Black Mark is still strengthening the Outer Eye, and the time is almost up in a few days.

At that time, the Chaos Light and teleportation ability that have been strengthened will definitely undergo another qualitative change.

Then start strengthening and restoring the Safe House.

This Safe House has been damaged many times along the way, and each restoration requires occupying Black Mark's strengthening time, which makes Yu Hong feel extremely inefficient. Therefore, this time, he plans to purchase some self-repairing materials in this floating city to add a self-repair function to the Safe House Black Spirit.

On the island, Harvey divided a large area of wasteland for them to live in on their own.

No houses, no bedding, no food or drink, nothing.

Harvey just gave them the territory and then received a notice halfway and left in a hurry.

At night.

In the gray-white rocky ground on the island, the rest of the people were chatting around the bonfire, imagining the future in the floating city, and seriously planning the route to try to touch the Wishing Technique and the Great Resurrection Technique in the future.

Yu Hong stood alone on the side, looking at the wide and dark lake.

He suddenly remembered that at the beginning, it was the same in the camp. The people around him could help each other at first, but later, with the Black Mark, he quickly became the main force, and the rest of the people gradually couldn't keep up with his pace.

Then naturally, people broke up.

In a camp that could unite in the face of a life-threatening crisis, all sorts of petty thoughts began to emerge once the deadly threat was gone.

'Perhaps, I should just advance alone.' Yu Hong felt that no one could keep up with his speed. Instead of forcing others to move forward, it would be better to travel alone.

As the road ahead became more and more dangerous, even Yi Yi might encounter danger if they continued.

Even if he was strong, there would always be times when he couldn't protect her.

Most importantly, there was no need for Yi Yi to risk danger with him everywhere. Her goal, from the beginning, was to live a stable life, find a safe place, revive her mother, and then live peacefully together.

If the resurrection technique here could achieve that, it would be acceptable for her to stay and live here.

Yu Hong felt that Yi Yi's goal might be much easier to achieve than Ku Chan's because the ghostly image of Yi Yi's mother had already merged with her.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

As for Ku Chan, the traces of his relatives were probably gone without a trace.

"What are you thinking about?" Ku Chan approached from behind.

"I was wondering if I should let Yi Yi stay. Following me will become more and more dangerous," Yu Hong turned around and looked at him.

Ku Chan's face was hidden under the golden mask, but his hopeful eyes left a deep impression on Yu Hong's mind.

"It's okay. We decided to stick together here. We just communicated with Emma and asked a lot about this place. This place is really very different..." Ku Chan sighed.

"Basically, none of the civilians here are good people. Everyone has fled from their own world. And you can imagine that anyone who can escape from a world will definitely be strong."

"Then I asked about the general divisions here. The Sky City is divided into upper, middle, and lower districts. We are civilians and can only live in the lower district, which is the city area. This kind of private small space is considered the middle district, and the upper district is where the mages of the Arcane Circle live."

"Then what level do you think your strength is in this place?" Yu Hong asked.

"I'm not sure, but we'll know when that person comes back. We can also go out on our own here. We found a small array on the other side of the island, which looks like a teleportation array. Jia Fei and the others are studying it to see how to use it," Ku Chan said.

"From now on, you're on your own," Yu Hong patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your protection along the way, Captain," Ku Chan took a step back and bowed respectfully to Yu Hong.

"When we settle down here, Captain, you are welcome to come and settle down with us at any time," he said sincerely.

"Thank you," Yu Hong smiled and said no more.

He watched Ku Chan bow again and then turn to the others to continue discussing and formulating plans.

He sighed, squatted down, and gently stirred the water with his hand.

The two white fish in the water were startled, swam around, and disappeared in a flash.

'Perhaps, staying really is a good choice.'

Looking at the peaceful fish, Yu Hong suddenly had this thought.

Early the next morning, Harvey came back again. This time, he brought back information about the usage of the teleportation array and the location of the teleportation points.

He also brought a letter of permission for a temporary residence.

"This is your temporary residence. You can move there at any time. There are two main ways to move around here: flying and instant teleportation. Generally, it's point-to-point movement. What you need to do is determine the coordinates and then purchase a complete set of equipment required for teleportation. Also, Yu Hong, how is your ship?" Harvey threw a pile of documents to Ku Chan and the others, and then took the initiative to walk towards Yu Hong.

"It's still being repaired, but it's almost done. Repairs will start soon," Yu Hong replied. He looked back at the others.

Last night, everyone stayed up all night in the house.

As the time of parting approached, he always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, a bit silent.

"Okay, by the way, regarding what you asked about before, the self-repairing materials, there are quite a few here. One of the more suitable ones is Star Spirit Alloy. This alloy can purify filth on its own and can also heal all damage below severe damage. For damage above severe, you need to add additional materials. Most importantly, this material can also be useful inside the Source Disaster. Unlike many other materials, everything is fine in a normal environment, but they become useless once you enter the Source Disaster."

"What's the price?" Yu Hong nodded to show his understanding.

"It's very expensive if you buy it on the market, but it's free here," Harvey smiled slightly. "My teacher, Inspector Margaret, has a lot of this Star Spirit Alloy. After she learned from me that you are the captain of the recently arrived Ark of Salvation, she became very interested in you."

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong frowned.

"Don't worry. My teacher means that Star Spirit Alloy is very rare and precious. She's not willing to exchange it for money or anything like that, after all, she's not short of money. So... she hopes you can help her complete an exploration. Only the Ark of Salvation can accurately find the direction in that place," Harvey said with a smile.

"Is this considered an exploration mission?" Yu Hong asked.

"I guess so. My teacher recently obtained a very strange coordinate, so she hopes that the Ark of Salvation can go in and explore it to see if it can find Source Matter. After all, the most efficient way to find Source Matter is the Ark of Salvation," Harvey said.
