Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 95 Nighttime Air Raid, Lighthouse, Danger!

Late at night, Bai Yuekui invited Erii to her room alone to show her his precious cat, saying that his cat could do backflips.

Tch~~~

The metal hatch slowly opened, revealing the Abyss Mech inside.

"Wow! So handsome~" Erii was deeply attracted the moment she saw him.

The overall style is not science fiction, but rather leans towards ferocious, primitive, brutal, and bleak creature armor.

The scalp resembles a majestic and cold beast head, with circular crowns extending backward on both sides.

The lower chest armor, shoulder armor, arm armor, skirt armor, and leg armor all outline a perfect muscle contour, with mechanical structures resembling tendons and bones in the gaps.

Its entire body is an ancient and sinister black and silver color, with sharp spikes protruding from its back shoulders, knees, and elbows, highlighting its extreme brutality and terror.

It stands quietly inside, yet gives the illusion of being asleep, as if it might open its eyes at any moment and wreak havoc.

"It is a self-aware life form that relies on devouring life essence to drive itself, and it is particularly picky about its drivers."

""

Bai Yuekui, dressed in a white tank top and black hot pants, sat on the sofa with a face mask on. Her bare, snow-white legs were draped over the table. Seemingly finding them in the way, she threw her Crocs to the ground, exposing her flawless feet to the air with her soles slightly pink and her crystal-clear toes painted with pearl-colored nail polish.

She was surrounded by the fresh scent of shower gel, and water droplets from her thighs slid down her body. Her damp white hair was not blown dry, but instead combed back and tucked behind her ears, revealing her smooth and full forehead.

"The raw materials used to make this thing come from before the Permian period, taken from the Mana giant, the owner of that half-brain, who lived about two or three hundred million years ago," Bai Yuekui said. "Many years ago, I saved Morgan and others on the ground, and they kept saying they wanted to thank me and invited me to visit the lighthouse."

She smiled and shook her head. "I never expected it to be a trap. They've set their sights on the Abyss Rider. Ironically, not just anyone can pilot the Abyss Rider; it's become something they're protecting for me."

"How powerful is it?" Erii touched the cold shell and felt the intense heat inside.

"They only started plotting because they saw me instantly defeat a high-level mutated creature," Bai Yuekui replied calmly.

That night, the two chatted about many things, from personal secrets to food hobbies, from travel scenery to music and anime.

Before she knew it, Erii discovered that the usually aloof and indifferent Boss Shiro was actually a lively and charming girl at heart, even a bit mischievous and cute, and full of fun and interest in life.

As for Bai Yuekui, the deeper they talked, the more he realized that Erii was a rather retro and old-fashioned little brat.

The anime, movies, and music she likes would be considered ancient relics in the old world. And despite her swift and decisive killings, her thoughts are wildly imaginative, with a touch of utopian innocence.

Bai Yuekui considered himself quite skilled in creating contrasts, but today he had met his match.

As the visitors from the Lighthouse attend classes at the All-Science Classroom, the various truths about the ecology of Mana are revealed.

After learning a lot of new and important information, they all angrily denounced the Lighthouse's closed-mindedness and arrogance. If Morgan had been willing to have friendly exchanges with Dragonbone Village, why would so many hunters have been sacrificed?

As time went by, the dozens of people gradually integrated into the village, and the original inhabitants warmly welcomed their new family members.

Just a week later, Xuefeng, the former breeding champion, got involved with a virtuous widow in her forties, and it seems he may have a child in his old age.

Several young hunters were completely infatuated with Kolova, which made Pokong extremely anxious. He even risked having his other leg broken to find Belenkov and sincerely expressed his desire to marry Kolova.

Just when everyone thought Pokong would be in a wheelchair this time, Belenkov surprisingly said he would think about it!

Erii is constantly being dragged around by Natsume and Maido for advice. The former plays games, the latter fights, or they go to the training base to help the Awakeners improve their skills.

During this time, the village never stopped training and researching Mark. Researchers, including Bai Yuekui, devoted themselves to the project. Mark's roars could be heard in the cave at any time, which made Zai Bingxin cry tears of pain.

They need to learn not only theoretical knowledge, but also the crucial process of returning to the origin and even the awakening of their potential.

"You old folks, stop thinking about it. Your emotions have long been worn down by the inhuman rules of the Lighthouse. Don't even think about stimulating the life essence," Qiu Shi said. "But Erica, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Ran Bing, these eighteen or nineteen-year-old kids, have a pretty good chance of success."

In short, everyone experienced unprecedented beauty and happiness. The ordinary yet joyful days were like a cup of light autumn tea, slowly permeating their minds and bodies, making even the most mundane little things feel joyful.

A month later.

lighthouse.

The city lord's office.

"Fortunately, Mark and his team brought back a lot of supplies last time," Eun reported. "In addition, the population plummeted a month ago, and the resources available per capita have increased significantly, especially since the Light and Shadow Society previously occupied most of them."

"We're a bit short on weapons and ammunition; we've spent too much time finding medicine for Lord Morgan," Jessica said.

Victor rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "The original law firm's authority has been restructured, a disciplinary body jointly overseen by you and me has been established, and the Dawn Hall has been demolished, but I don't think these restrictions can be lifted immediately."

Jing Nan nodded. "Just proceed step by step. By the way, how's the situation with the Hunters?"

Victor pondered for a moment and said, "A new commander has been selected, and more than twenty people have been selected and transferred from the Dust People and the City Defense Army. They are currently undergoing ground simulation training."

"Sigh~" Jing Nan sighed, feeling a headache coming on. "Being a city lord is not easy. Sometimes I really hate my sense of responsibility. Otherwise, I should go down with them and not care about anything."

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but smile wryly.

Of course, people like Eun would be extremely unwilling to be sent down, and compared to the unclear situation in Dragonbone Village, they would obviously prefer to be high-ranking officials in the Lighthouse who would have no worries about food and clothing.

zizi~

Jingnan's miniature communicator on his chest made a sound.

"Lord, something's not right around the lighthouse. Just a minute ago, a heat source was detected approaching."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances.

No, they are currently at an altitude of 10,000 meters, where would they get a heat source?

What's the difference between this and seeing an old lady from the window on the 18th floor?

Realizing something was amiss, they immediately rushed to their posts.

However, they had just stepped outside.

Bang bang bang!

The sudden burst of intense gunfire shattered the tranquility of the lighthouse at night.

"General!" Victor's communicator rang. "Devouring Beasts! Attacked on the western side of the outer ring! Requesting support—ah!"

The screams abruptly stopped, and the faces of the group turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down their backs.

They hurried to the passageway leading to the outer ring road and looked through the glass at the scene illuminated by the moonlight.

In the air above the western side of the outer ring, several beast-like shadows, each five or six meters long, rose and fell. With each flap of their moth-like wings, Jing Nan and the others felt their hearts tremble violently.

"How is this possible?" Victor exclaimed incredulously, "A flying Devouring Beast?"

There were about fourteen or fifteen of them, which looked like fat, headless worms with only spiral mouthparts like an anus on their heads and vine-like, movable fleshy tentacles hanging from their bodies.

Its wings flapped weakly, and at first glance they looked just like two tattered rag bags. At the base where the wings connected to its body, there was a large, bright eyeball on each side, which was coldly looking down at the city defense army that was rushing over.
