Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 94 You smell so good!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, a large group of people arrived at the elevator platform.

Many more people followed and watched with mixed expressions, their faces filled with reluctance and worry.

Aside from Erii and the others, there were Hilda and Orland, as well as half of the hunters, including Mark, Zaibing, Erica, Feixue, Mocheng, and Jeff, who were covered by the curtain!

Among them were veterans like Xuefeng, and the rest were Mark's loyal followers, numbering about forty, all of whom were elites among the hunters.

They only took three exclusive heavy-duty units: Mark's Dawn, Erica's White Shark-14, and Feixue's White Shark-05.

However, the two of them were wearing mechs and carrying a metal "coffin" one in front of the other, inside which lay the ancient creature mech—the Abyssbringer!

Among the crowd, Dr. Carrie was equally reluctant to leave, but her eyes were fixed on the metal box that sealed the Abyss.

In order to realize the Abyss Project, she once presided over the process of turning countless people into test subjects, including her husband who volunteered to participate.

Without exception, they were all instantly drained of their flesh and blood by the Abyss, turning into dust. No one was able to successfully control this powerful living mech.

rumble!

The lifting platform is started.

"Captain Mark! You must come back after you've recovered from your injuries!"

"Lieutenant Ran Bing, don't forget about us!"

"Hilda, Orland, you two go scout ahead. The brothers are tired of floating in the sky!"

"Eri-sama, who will protect us now that you're gone?"

For a moment, the crowd waved goodbye, their words revealing their deep reluctance to sever ties with the hunters.

In fact, quite a few people, especially several Dust People, also wanted to leave with them.

But Bai Yuekui refused without hesitation, after all, Dragon Bone Village had limited capacity, and accepting too many people at once would easily cause unnecessary chaos.

Once this batch is settled, we'll consider other options as appropriate.

"Without us, can the lighthouse really hold on?" Erica asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, people have to adapt eventually. Besides, we only took three heavy-duty 3D machines and a few dozen guns." Mo Cheng waved his hand, his face full of anticipation for his new home.

"Xia Dou, Xia Dou, can Dragon Bone Village accommodate all of us?" Erica asked, turning her head.

"Don't worry, our Dragon Bone Village is huge, I guarantee you'll love it when you go there," Xia Dou assured, patting her bulging chest.

"Your Elonian instructor from the Wilderness Hunters has only been here for half a day, and he's already so engrossed in his work that he doesn't want to leave," Shattered Star said.

Jeff curled his lip. "That old man~"

However, everyone had smiles on their faces. They were genuinely happy that Elon was alive, and goodwill towards Bai Yuekui and Dragonbone Village welled up within them.

"Roar~" The curtain was lifted, and Mark Beast also hummed twice.

On the face of the half-human, half-beast, a pair of clear, bright eyes shone with a gratified light.

Once the platform reached the bottom, four armored vehicles drove into the wasteland.

As everyone looked back, the lighthouse remained as majestic and cold as ever, yet it seemed to sprout a tender new life.

"I hope Jingnan can lead everyone to change the current situation," Ran Bing said worriedly, then smiled and touched Mark's rough and tough face. "Don't worry too much. Once you recover, we can go up and visit them anytime. Didn't the village chief say that humanity is a community with a shared future? It's the right choice for Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village to help each other."

Along the way, Erii and Natsume described Dragon Bone Village to everyone.

But when people actually step inside and find themselves in this dreamlike cave village, they realize how pale and powerless words are; only what they see with their own eyes can truly reveal its awe and beauty.

Mo Cheng slapped himself. "My God, that old bastard Morgan tricked us so badly! Are there really that many survivors on the ground?"

Jeff also took a bite. "Damn it! If we had known there was a survivor base on the ground, wouldn't it have been better if we had cooperated with them and achieved a win-win situation? Morgan just had to be so stubborn, as inflexible as a piece of rotten wood!"

"Hmph! Cooperation and win-win?" Shattered Star scoffed sarcastically. "Back then, Boss Bai did have this plan, but unfortunately, those officials in the Lighthouse were arrogant, conceited, and selfish."

"Hey! You bunch of little rascals have all come here?" Elon's loud laughter could be heard from afar.

He greeted everyone, then suddenly asked in confusion, "Where's that brat Mark? Wait, you guys brought back a Devouring Beast!"

Not to mention him, a group of villagers also gathered around, curiously examining the Mark Beast huddled behind Ran Bing.

"What kind of breed is this? I've never seen it before."

"A generalized type? This face looks way too human!"

There was curiosity and surprise, but no fear or apprehension.

"This is Mark. Let's disperse and stop crowding around." Bai Yuekui waved his hand.

Erica leaned closer to Elon and quickly explained.

"Mark?!" Elon's eyes widened dramatically. "Damn, you little brat, you've been holding back! Hand over your muscle-building secrets!"

"Roar!" Markmon growled unhappily.

"Alright, alright, I can't beat you now, but that doesn't change the fact that I once beat the shit out of you," Elon said, hands on his hips.

"roar--"

Mark roared, spraying his foul-smelling saliva all over Elon's face.

Seeing Mark so energetic, Ran Bing couldn't help but smile, feeling relieved.

Next, Mark was handed over to Xia Tianlai, and the village's top medical research team was mobilized.

Zaibing, Hilda, and dozens of others were all gathered at a point on the edge of the village, which was just behind Erii's residence.

In terms of facilities, it can't compare to the lighthouse's single bedroom and open-air balcony, but it has the advantage of freedom, a peaceful atmosphere, and even allows for dating.

Sure enough, that very night, two pairs of young hunters secretly met, making veterans like Xuefeng itch with desire.

I was busy with all sorts of things until late at night.

The next day was equally hectic, with registration, inspections, and getting familiar with the village environment, among other things.

The key is that all new members must undergo genetic testing to ensure that they are not related to each other by blood.

Surprisingly, there really was a father and daughter relationship between an old soldier and a young female soldier!

Lakeside.

Three figures sat with their legs curled up.

"Eri, thank you," Hilda said in a soft, sweet voice, tucking her chin in her arms.

"If it weren't for you, we would probably have been executed by the Lighthouse by now, right?" Zaibing chimed in, unable to think of a way to break the deadlock without Erii.

Mark has become a Devourer, and Charles will inevitably take advantage of his misfortune. It would be a good ending if they could die together.

"Yes, we are good friends," Erii said softly from between the two. "Good friends should help each other."

"That's right~" Ran Bing smiled and turned her body to rest her head on Erii's shoulder.

"Yes, yes~" Hilda hugged Erii from the side and said softly, "My heart has never been so at peace."

"Hehe~" At this moment, Erii felt a sense of accomplishment as if she had become Frilian.

In the previous world, he relied on Frilian and Philon.

In this world, he became their support.

Perhaps this is what my brother once referred to as "growing up"?

"Fine, so you two are hogging Erii all to yourself, huh!"

With Erika's coquettish reproach, Erii felt a warm and elastic body bump against her back the next second.

A pair of slender arms wrapped around her neck from behind, and Erica's head peeked out from behind. "What embarrassing whispers are you two talking about?"

"What? What could the three of us girls possibly say?" Hilda blushed inexplicably, revealing her guilty conscience without even realizing it.

Erica narrowed her eyes and chuckled sinisterly, "Last night, Feixue and I saw Orland sneak into your room~ He only came out this morning, didn't he?"

Hilda's face flushed instantly, and she buried her face in Erii's chest like an ostrich, "Ahhh, shut up and don't say another word!"

Ran Bing suddenly asked, "Do you think Fei Xue and Mo Cheng are something special?"

Erica was taken aback. "No way! Hasn't Feixue always been quite cold to Mo Cheng? She's always been sarcastic and sarcastic towards him!"

"The little girl still needs practice, her observation skills aren't good enough," Ran Bing grumbled, arms crossed. "There's an old saying in the old world: 'A beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love.' Anyway, Mo Cheng cares a lot about Fei Xue."

"But those uncles in Xuefeng were flirting with the local aunties this morning. Tch! They're quite the ladies' man," Erica complained.

Ran Bing shrugged. "I heard Xuefeng was a breeding champion back in the day~"

A pair of long, straight, snow-white legs suddenly appeared before the four of them, and Feixue's cold voice rang out, "What are you talking about me?"

She asked the question and sat down beside her.

"Huh? No, nothing. Are you done with your work?" Erica asked with a guilty smile.

"Yeah, Mo Cheng basically took care of everything. He's more reliable than before." Fei Xue rarely praised him, referring to the house renovation.

Ran Bing, Hilda, and Erica exchanged a knowing glance, which made Fei Xue tilt her head, completely bewildered.

And so they huddled together, gazing intently at the blue-green lake, feeling a sense of unreality, as if they had never imagined that they would actually leave the cage-like lighthouse and arrive in a pure land where everyone could grow freely.

"Mmm~~" Erii suddenly took a deep breath, feeling dizzy, "You guys smell so good."
