Chapter 1016: Chapter 743 Local Actions
Two days were enough for Liu Hongzhao and her group to improve in their cultivation of the Blood Asura art, integrating the essence of life into their blood was no trivial matter.
In these two days, aside from the normal rest periods, they spent all other time training.
Zheng Yichen could see that the ’vortex’ in the sky was spinning faster and faster, even without using thermal vision, he could feel an unusual flow filling the environment with his own senses.
A flow caused by something being extracted.
Du Gang didn’t come to disturb Zheng Yichen during this time; he said he would wait two days, to let the Devouring Faction take root here before making a move, but that doesn’t mean nothing was done during these two days.
Essential preparations couldn’t be neglected; besides Du Gang not contacting him, the number of Dusk mercenaries seen on the streets also increased.
That night, Du Gang sent Zheng Yichen a message through the Illusory Eye, saying that it was time to set out.
The Devouring Faction appeared at the boundary between the Old Capital and Metamorphosis City.
Although Zheng Yichen had a fast car, there was no need to rush over in a hurry.
After replying to Du Gang, Zheng Yichen stepped out and knocked on another room’s door, which was opened by the Little Holy Maiden Lillian in her pajamas, who eyed Zheng Yichen suspiciously: "It’s so late, what is it?"
"What else could it be? It’s time to set out. Do you want to rest in my internal space?" Zheng Yichen said, observing Lillian’s small yet cunning demeanor, and raised his hand intending to pat her head.
Lillian was significantly shorter compared to Liu Hongzhao and others.
"No need, wait a moment."
Lillian clicked the door shut. In less than two minutes, the door reopened, and a neatly dressed Lillian and Nelliwey came out.
During these two days, they were acting like simple tourists and did not do much here as it wasn’t necessary.
The things they could do here were limited; only at the battlefield could they utilize their full strength. The environment of this world was not as high as in the world of magic, but it didn’t affect their use of powers.
Though this time they were mainly acting as war correspondents, seeking more insight on the Devourers, their strength could still influence the battle somewhat...
"The impact of the Devouring Sky Pillar on the environment is significant, so don’t overexert yourselves during battle. Try to conserve your strength and use the Illusory Eye in combat."
"Got it." Even though she was sometimes capricious, Lillian knew her limits in formal situations; Zheng Yichen, as a Proxy Agent who had battled the Devouring Faction, had much more experience.
This was crucial intelligence that required serious attention.
They were exploring different worlds with Zheng Yichen to understand worlds unlike the world of magic, not taking things lightly or for granted.
"Then let’s depart."
Zheng Yichen looked towards the other side; Liu Hongzhao and the others also came out of their rooms, appearing energized despite it being night.
Lillian looked at them doubtfully: "Are those martial arts really that useful?"
She had been exposed to martial arts, which felt to her like the combat techniques of a warrior, yet different from what she knew. As for cultivation, one could cultivate, but the strength gained was incompatible with magic power.
To practice them required resolving a host of issues.
Leaving their residence, Du Gang was already waiting: "Hm? Where’s the small white dragon?"
He did not see Tanshia Firlo with Zheng Yichen, which confused him.
"She’s in the sky." Zheng Yichen replied, and with a swooshing sound, a black figure appeared from the sky, a ’black dragon’ that didn’t reflect light flying through the night, rapidly transforming in form as it neared Zheng Yichen.
The human-shaped Tanshia Firlo sat on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder.
"...Isn’t that a white dragon?" Du Gang’s expression turned strange, possessing night vision, he could confirm what he had seen was a ’black dragon’.
"It’s Black Light."
Understanding, Du Gang nodded, then said: "Let’s set out, get in the car."
Du Gang had driven a car here, serving as the driver, and as soon as Zheng Yichen boarded, he noticed something different: "This is a nice car."
"I used to think so too, but after seeing your car, this one seems just ordinary." Du Gang laughed and shook his head while driving; this car was made by the Dusk, but he had never taken it on a mission.
It was usually just a means of transport, lacking the insane speed of Zheng Yichen’s motorbike, but the car could still reach the destination in a short span of time.
About two or three hours.
There is no need to hurry to reach there faster, as he had concealed his identity. The Devouring Faction was unaware of the existence of Proxy Agents in this world; to them, those people were merely bandits.
Unlike the Boundary Breakers who possess technical skills, if it were Boundary Breakers instead, they would have discovered his identity during the infiltration, given that his Proxy Agent identity was known to many local high-ranking officials.
There was no need for such secrecy towards the Devourers.
"It’s a bit cold, and the Elements power in the environment has become very fragile." Nelliwey, sensing the changes in the environment, expressed her astonishment: "Has it only been two days, and it has turned out like this?"
"This is just the beginning. We are now approaching the Devouring Sky Pillar, hence the significant changes. The changes in farther places are actually much lesser."
Driving the car, Du Gang explained: "The area where the changes initially occurred was not large, but once it reached a certain level, it would explosively expand the impact range."
Through the car window, Zheng Yichen saw the distant Devouring Sky Pillar. Near the Devouring Sky Pillar, he could also see some faint lights that flickered and disappeared like a lighter flicked in strong winds.
Within two days, Zheng Yichen had not moved much yet had seen over two hundred Dusk mercenaries.
It was normal for the battles on that side to be fiercer; however, Zheng Yichen was somewhat curious about how the Dusk mercenaries on that side were dismantling the Devouring Sky Pillar.
"Wow, this base is quite impressive." After reaching a military base, Zheng Yichen surveyed the surroundings and noted that there were people from the ancient capital as well as Metamorphosis City, and quite a few Dusk mercenaries resting here.
At this point, Zheng Yichen had Lilith disguise his appearance, so the Dusk mercenaries present did not recognize his identity.
In Du Gang’s world, there was technology, but since this place emphasized martial valor, the weapons Zheng Yichen saw were predominantly melee weapons. Among the heavy weapons, Zheng Yichen noticed the presence of ballistas.
Considering the strength and energy level of this world, Zheng Yichen had no doubts about the lethality of such weapons. Under the suppression of the Devouring Sky Pillar, these weapons could be even more effective, as long as they could deliver outputs in the tonnage range.
Muscular archers from the ancient capital were the primary ranged combatants, while the people from Metamorphosis City... Zheng Yichen noticed that those from Metamorphosis City appeared to be in poor condition, which he could understand.
Vajra Body was physical; the energy vacuum in the environment didn’t affect them too significantly, whereas the metamorphosed bodies of the Metamorphosis City people were more aligned with energy types.
Facing the Devouring Sky Pillar, people from Metamorphosis City could be fatally suppressed.
The Dusk mercenaries got along quite well with the local warriors.
"You guys go ahead and conduct your operations here... We’ll look for an opportunity to set off later." Du Gang said to Zheng Yichen, without requesting that Liu Hongzhao and her companions coordinate with the military.
It was unrealistic; there were so many Dusk mercenaries from different worlds. Instead of making them cooperate with the local military, it would be better if the local military adapted to them.
Zheng Yichen didn’t give Liu Hongzhao and her team much guidance either, as they were already Dusk mercenaries who had experienced several missions and knew what to do.
As for the two Luminous Holy Maidens, in this world, they could exert corresponding power, so it was fine for them to act along with Liu Hongzhao and others, not to underestimate the power of magic.
There was no problem for them to disguise as Dusk mercenaries; even if someone recognized their identities, it wouldn’t cause too much of a stir.
Primarily, there was no necessity as everyone was a Dusk mercenary, and it wasn’t unprecedented to bring reinforcements from other worlds. It was acceptable for Dusk mercenaries to bring additional forces from other worlds as long as they were willing to spend merit points.
Zheng Yichen then took Tanshia Firlo to observe the situation elsewhere.
The battle between the Dusk mercenaries and the Devourers was still ongoing; this military base was just one of the battle areas, with extremely intense fights happening elsewhere.
The local military had launched several attacks already, aimed at destroying the Devouring Sky Pillar planted in the earth, but to little effect.
Some Dusk mercenaries could get close to the Devouring Sky Pillar, but their attacks had little impact on the Devouring Sky Pillar... yet the attacks were effective.
"It seems like someone is making big moves over there." Tanshia Firlo looked towards a direction where quite a few Dusk mercenaries were guarding something, but they were oblivious to Zheng Yichen and his ’daughter’ approaching through spatial integration.
After observing the scene for a while, Zheng Yichen commented, "It must be some kind of formation, it looks very powerful, but this distance can also make it easily discovered by the Devourers."
Although the environment near the Devouring Sky Pillar was harsh, the extraction of this world’s origin resources had just begun, and the conditions here weren’t severe enough to render people completely powerless.
Moreover, the prepared Dusk mercenaries here also brought their own energy sources.
These were some sort of crystals, which Zheng Yichen speculated might be Spirit Stones.
"They’ve been discovered." Through thermal vision, Zheng Yichen saw several figures approaching rapidly, but the people here still hadn’t noticed.
Seeing this, Zheng Yichen didn’t hesitate and swiftly threw out a dozen light spikes.
"Who is it!!" A Dusk mercenary shouted, raising his sword towards where Zheng Yichen was, even though there was nothing there.
The Sword Qi shattered upon touching Zheng Yichen, who caught it with his hand: "The Devourers are coming."
Leaving behind this message, he left with Tanshia Firlo.
