Chapter 143: Dive
Chapter 143: Dive
The captain emerged from the cockpit, his body slowly enveloped by a set of battle armor, clearly indicating that he was ready for combat.
The young pilot, filled with admiration, watched the captain in combat readiness, wishing he could take his place.
He stammered, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Finally, the captain left the cockpit of the flying ship, clad in his battle armor, flames erupting from his feet as he swiftly flew out of the defensive barrier.
A familiar summoning array appeared, and out of thin air, a wolf vulture and a flamebird materialized, both being commander-level companion beasts.
In addition to the two companion beasts, the captain's own strength was not to be underestimated, as he had reached the peak of the commander level with the Yunyan Jiuqi.
After leaving the flying ship, he wasted no time and, riding on the wolf vulture and flamebird, charged towards the bizarre Storm Falcon.
Apart from controlling the two companion beasts, the captain himself was also in action, wearing his battle armor and engaging the surrounding Gray Bean Doves and Storm Falcons.
Inside the ship, Li Qian turned his head to observe the scene, his brows furrowed. Just as he was about to say something, the cabin's intercom suddenly came to life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gao Linsheng, the pilot of this flying ship. I believe you have all witnessed through the portholes that the Yunyan Flying Ship is currently facing an unprecedented crisis."
"Support the captain; repelling these Gray Bean Doves and Storm Falcons is our only choice at the moment."
"On behalf of the entire flight crew, I implore all of you to join us in fighting against this crisis."
As the cabin announcement concluded, two cabin attendants at the ends of the passenger cabin decisively pressed a virtual button on their watches.
Zzzz...
As the button on their watches was pressed, reactive metal slowly covered their feet, and in the blink of an eye, two sets of battle armor appeared.
Undoubtedly, the two cabin attendants had also entered combat mode, ready to support the captain who was already engaged in battle.
The same zzzz sound emerged in front of the passengers, originating from a screen rising from the side armrest.
On the touchscreen, a vivid red virtual button was clearly visible.
The cabin announcement continued, "Attention all passengers, please lightly touch the button on the screen, and the reactive metal will cover your entire body."
"This is the Federation Government's specially designed combat armor for each passenger, possessing strong defensive capabilities."
"Among you, if there are beastmasters who have bonded with flying companion beasts, please make your choice carefully."
As the announcement ended, the two cabin attendants had already rushed out, joining forces with the captain.
Li Qian witnessed this scene clearly, and his heart was filled with admiration. He understood that their daring move would multiply the danger, yet they did not hesitate.
Scanning the cabin, Li Qian wanted to see how others would react.
Soon, a surprising scene unfolded before his eyes.
The beautiful woman sitting in front of him decisively pressed the virtual button on the screen without any hesitation.
As expected, she donned the reactive armor and was transported out of the cabin.
A summoning array appeared, and three companion beasts materialized in front of the woman, all of them being flying types.
Apart from this beautiful woman, the other passengers in the cabin were all caught in a state of hesitation and indecision.
Upon seeing this, Li Qian, without hesitation, also pressed the virtual button.
It wasn't that he was particularly noble, fearless, or unafraid of death; he simply understood a principle: when the nest is in danger, there is no room for hesitation.
If the Cloud Swallow Flying Ship were to fall, no one aboard would be spared.
In the end, it wasn't that he didn't want to stand by idly, but that he simply couldn't.
Wrapped in reactive metal and donning his battle armor, Li Qian was also teleported out. With a thought, flames erupted from the feet of his armor.
The armor, suspended in mid-air with Li Qian, looked rather extraordinary.
Li Qian dared not delay; almost as soon as he left the ship, he summoned Qizai through the beast taming contract.
"Roar~!"
Qizai left the beast space and entered the outside world, letting out an excited dragon's roar.
"Don't get too excited. Look at the situation ahead; it's not something to be optimistic about," Li Qian reminded him.
Qizai hovered high in the sky, scanning the area with his dragon eyes, taking in the entire scene before him.
When he saw the dense swarm of Storm Falcons and Bean Doves, and the strange Storm Falcon leader, not only did he show no fear, but his eyes lit up with delight.
He had long grown tired of practicing with Tian Tian, Xiao Liu, and the other Green Scaled Serpents and Frostfire Salamanders.
He yearned for worthy opponents.
The current situation was just what he desired.
"Qizai, get to work," Li Qian commanded, immediately launching an attack.
Under his command, Qizai charged into the flock of Storm Falcons and Bean Doves at an incredibly fast speed.
Dragon Claw, Dragon Claw...
The 'Dragon Claw' skill was merciless once it caught its prey, and the Storm Falcons and Bean Doves that had just taken flight were no match for him.
In just a few moves, they were eliminated.
Qizai's attributes were Wind and Water, and using Water-type skills at such a high altitude was undoubtedly inefficient.
As for Wind-type skills, they were relatively limited against the Wind-type Storm Falcons and Bean Doves, so Li Qian ordered Qizai to directly use the simplest and most brutal 'Dragon Claw' skill.
With a few more joining the battle, the situation was immediately turned around, and almost no Storm Falcons or Bean Doves could fly over to cause chaos.
The captain, witnessing this, smiled and gave the order, "Cloud Swallow 97, immediately activate extreme speed mode and lead the passengers away from here."
As he issued the command, the tail of Cloud Swallow 97 erupted with even more intense flames.
Its speed almost doubled instantly.
Cloud Swallow 97 entered extreme speed mode, and before long, all the Storm Falcons and Bean Doves were left behind.
In the cockpit of Cloud Swallow 97, the young pilot was a bit flustered. Cloud Swallow 97 didn't obey his commands and was still following the captain's orders.
"The city ahead should be Southern Capital. Call for support from the Southern Capital Law Enforcement Bureau immediately," he suddenly said as he saw the electronic map and the city marker gradually appearing in the northwest corner.
Without hesitation or delay, he frantically sent out a distress signal.
Seeing Cloud Swallow 97 fly away, the captain's heart calmed down, and he began to focus on dealing with the situation at hand.
The captain shouted, "Let's go down and deal with them. It'll be easier on the ground."
Without further ado, he led the way, diving down.
Behind him, the strange Storm Falcon continued its relentless pursuit.
Li Qian, the beautiful woman, and the two cabin attendants, upon receiving the captain's reminder, also followed without hesitation...
