A Core Ship From The Start
/ A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 956
Chapter 956: Chapter 662 Interlude (End of the month, asking for a monthly ticket, meow) Chapter 956: Chapter 662 Interlude (End of the month, asking for a monthly ticket, meow) Duanmu Huai had overlooked something: as he raced around enhancing his Strength, the Evil Gods were not idle either. Even after removing the swollen, disgusting parts blessed by his kind father, it was clear that this body belonged to an alien race. This indicated that surely one planet had fallen victim to the toxic claws of Corrupted Foil.
Well, that wasn't surprising, considering the vastness of the Milky Way where both factions were desperately mining and upgrading operations. Only now, Duanmu Huai and Corrupted Foil had their eyes on the same mineral patch.
Duanmu Huai didn't hesitate to activate Black Flame, wiping out the mineral block and all mutated creatures within the entire mine, then he initiated contact.
“Aikute!”
“Ah, Uncle, yes!”
“What's the current situation with the fleet?”
“Uh… currently, only the First Fleet can launch, the rest are under repair…”
“Send a reconnaissance fleet here! Also, tell Maria and Kukulu to speed up the repairs! Remember, keep the movements covert to avoid detection!”
“Ah, yes…!”
Fortunately, this world possessed a phenomenon unique to the Faelun Continent known as “Crystal Barrier.” According to Faelun's design, the “Plane of Major Material” in the real world included many separate worlds, each world possibly just a single planet, or a whole system including planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and stars. Each world was sealed within a bubble-like crystal barrier, and the only way to travel between these barriers was to cross the Combustion Sea.
Hence Duanmu Huai was certain that this was not a direct invasion by the Chaos Army, but more likely a probe and reconnaissance. After all, with the protection of the crystal barriers, the Chaos Fleet couldn't enter. And this individual had likely appeared here through some means – remembering the previous plague in Neverwinter City, could it be…
At that thought, Duanmu Huai's eyes brightened.
Could these beings be planning to weaken Faelun's crystal barrier using this method and then launch a full-scale invasion?
The more Duanmu Huai thought about it, the more likely it seemed. However, he really hoped his guess wasn't true, since that would mean there was probably an entire Chaos Fleet waiting outside the crystal barrier system of Faelun, eager to break through.
That was absolutely bad news for the Tribunal, which had just ended a fierce battle with cosmic monsters and was greatly weakened.
Of course, if there was any good news… it was that it was Corrupted Foil and not Cunning Deception that had arrived–thankfully, though Duanmu Huai would have preferred it if it were Brutal Wrath.
A head-on clash was just to Duanmu Huai's liking.
As for Obsessive Sin… well, he wouldn't even spare them a second glance.
Of course, the possibility that this was a diversion by Cunning Deception to lure attention and create mischief was something Duanmu Huai wouldn't consider at all. He couldn't care less to waste brain cells on those insanely joyful idiots. Duanmu Huai only believed what he saw, made decisions, and then took action!
Nothing else mattered!
Meanwhile, at the same time in the Lost Ground, others were also acting toward a similar goal.
“Woooooo…”
Crying out, the corrupt, foul monster lunged forward, then collapsed headlong into the muddy ground, as the leading Elf Ranger frowned deeply at the sight of the monster's corpse, manifesting his inner rage.
“What kind of desecration would lead to such an outrageous act?!”
Lying in front of the Elf Ranger was a wild sheep from the Lost Ground, now completely unrecognizable as it had rotted into a disgusting, foul creature.
“Has it transformed into some kind of undead creature?”
Next to him a Mage, holding a Magic Wand, also looked gravely at the carcass.
“No.”
Just then, a Knight, holding a Longsword and shield, came forward.
“Heim's holy power didn't work; it's not an undead creature.”
“But… if it's not an undead creature, then what is it?”
“”
Facing this question, no one had an answer for a moment. Just then, suddenly, a tiny figure quietly appeared beside them.
“Hey! Are you just going to stand here dumbfounded?”
“Little girl, where have you run off to now?”
Seeing the Hobbit Wanderer, the Knight looked displeased. Although she helped them out often, she would vanish without a trace every time a battle occurred, supposedly “patrolling the area,” but everyone knew about the Hobbits' timidity… they just hoped she hadn't wandered too far.
“I found something strange, probably the cause of all this!”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing the Hobbit Wanderer's words, everyone was instantly energized. They had come here because, recently, numerous mutant wild animals had appeared around the edges of the Supreme Forest. It seemed as if they had been cursed, becoming something grotesque, and even after death, the land where they lay was polluted. Even the lush trees hadn't escaped, prompting the group to assemble a squad and delve deep into the Lost Ground to investigate the truth.
