Chapter 336: 285 Battle and Escape!_4

Chapter 336: Chapter 285 Battle and Escape!_4

Shen Ye shook his head, only feeling even more perplexed than she was.

——Forget it, let’s focus on staying alive before anything else.

He just sat there, holding his breath to rest.

Not knowing how long they had been flying.

“Be careful, the guy next to you has already woken up, he’s pretending to sleep,” Miket Tikaxiwa warned.

Shen Ye’s eyes moved slightly, but he didn’t raise his head, nor did he look at Mo Ga Ru.

His gaze cast outside of the flying boat to the sky above.

There, another flying boat appeared in the distance, swiftly approaching them.

The shopkeeper’s voice had already sounded:

“Everyone, be on your guard!”

“If they have ill intentions, let’s stand shoulder to shoulder!”

The professionals roared their consent.

They each drew their weapons, clenched their fists, and prepared to fight.

A bald man said with murderous aura:

“Whoever wants to mess with our boat has definitely picked the wrong target.”

“That’s right, there are no pushovers on this boat,” laughed his companion.

Shen Ye slowly came to realize.

It turned out that all those previous battles had been a selection.

——This was a boat made for escape, where strong and fierce professionals banded together.

If one wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t even have the qualification to board.

“Prepare to meet the enemy——”

Someone shouted loudly.

The professionals all stood up.

Shen Ye remained still, continuing to sit, protecting Mo Ga Ru in front of him, calmly watching the situation outside.

The approaching flying boat picked up speed, rapidly barreling towards them.

It was inevitable now!

——The two flying boats were about to crash!

The female Art Spirit’s voice suddenly rang out:

“The second calamity, the sandstorm disaster, has arrived.”

Boom!

The flying boat jolted.

Shouts from countless people rose up.

What followed was an unbelievable scene.

A wave-like surge of sand rose from the ground, striking the charging flying boat, instantly turning it into a flurry of fragments.

Countless professionals were sent flying into the air.

Their screams rose and fell one after another, echoing in the gloomy expanse.

The reason for the screams——

Shen Ye looked at the distant scene, his pupils suddenly constricting.

Bugs.

The bugs covering the ground were all awakened.

The swirling sand was them hunting in groups throughout the heavens and earth.

The flying boat on the other side was first dismantled by the bugs, then devoured completely.

The scattered professionals were caught in a bitter struggle.

Those who were defeated in a few exchanges soon turned into skeletons, scattering in mid-air and plummeting downwards.

On Shen Ye’s flying boat, the once murderous crowd had already lost their morale.

“Quickly!”

“Run! Run fast!”

“Shopkeeper, your flying boat is too slow.”

“Full speed ahead!”

The crowd shouted in panic.

The shopkeeper attempted to calm them: “We are already at top speed; the swarm can’t catch up——oh no!”

He glanced behind the crowd, then suddenly jumped up, shrieking like a madman:

“Full speed! Full speed ahead!”

His expression was one of sheer panic as he dashed towards the steps, descending to the lower level.

Shen Ye, along with everyone else, turned to look back.

The world had turned into pitch-black night.

The sandstorm had connected the heavens to the earth, rising to the clouds, and was now crashing down towards the flying boat like a cataclysmic tidal wave.

It was too close!

There was no escape!!!

Shen Ye sat unmoved, feeling an intense force pushing against him.

——The flying boat was accelerating at full power!

Stunning streams of Technique light shot out from within the flying boat.

Those were the professionals from the sixth and seventh layers of the Magic Realm, doing their utmost to exterminate the sea of bugs in order to buy time for the flying boat.

“Everyone!”

The Shop Assistant shouted: “You are in charge of defending the deck of the flying boat, don’t let any stray bugs get inside!”

“Yes!” everyone responded in unison.

Shen Ye sat there, his mind filled with doubts.

Stray bugs…

How could those powerful professionals of the seventh layer let any bugs slip through?

He stared closely.

He saw streams of resplendent Techniques bombard the waves of flying bugs, killing swathes of them instantly.

But behind those falling swarms, there was still an endless tide of bugs.

——No matter how many were killed, there seemed to be an infinite number of bugs!

They came in such an overwhelming torrent that it resembled a deluge.

This indeed made it easy for some to slip through!

No sooner had Shen Ye drawn his Hongying Knife than the Shop Assistant quickly came to his side, saying:

“Your master must join the battle,”

“His injuries haven’t healed yet,” Shen Ye said.

“He must still contribute, there are absolutely no idlers allowed on the flying boat!”

The Shop Assistant gestured as he spoke.

Several Professionals immediately stood behind him, drawing their weapons in unison.

—Useless people just take up space, might as well throw them out to attract the insects, plus it’ll lighten the load of the flying boat!

“Contribute? Our master’s contributions are stronger than any of these people!”

Shen Ye said coldly, taking a small badge out of his ring and tossing it over.

The Shop Assistant caught it and examined it closely in his hand.

It was a badge carved from white bone into the shape of a bow, emitting wisps of white mist.

“Wind Rune Chapter.”

“Hell Series badge, Green Quality (Excellent).”

“Description: You and your mount will gain a slight boost from the Power of Wind while moving, becoming faster and more ferocious.”

“—Her news comes with the wind.”

Yes.

This thing came from a Fallen Angel of Hell, General Tazweil.

Under normal circumstances, this badge is useless.

But in a situation of flight—

It’s worth its weight in gold!

Right now, to protect the talisman Mo Ga Ru, Shen Ye immediately took out the badge!

The Shop Assistant looked at it closely, overjoyed, and screamed:

“Shopkeeper!”

The Shopkeeper arrived like a whirlwind, snatching the Wind Rune Chapter from the Shop Assistant, glanced at it, and immediately said to Shen Ye:

“Your master doesn’t have to fight! Absolutely no problem at all!”

“Why! On what grounds!” someone couldn’t help but shout loudly.

More people looked over at Shen Ye.

“Don’t make trouble! This young brother has produced a treasure that can speed up the flying boat, perhaps it could save all of our lives!”

The Shopkeeper held high the badge and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down.

The Shopkeeper said no more, holding the Wind Rune Chapter, he quickly went deeper into the cabin.

“Really nice, such a loyal subordinate.”

“This kid isn’t bad.”

“You rarely see this kind of person nowadays, I mean, with such character.”

“His master has dogshit luck.”

“Yeah, if not for him, that seriously injured guy would have been thrown out of the flying boat already.”

The Professionals whispered among themselves.

On the recliner, Mo Ga Ru was still feigning sleep.

Nobody knew what he was really thinking.

After a few moments,

the flying boat’s speed increased a bit more.

All high-level Professionals would naturally sense this and couldn’t help but feel elated.

Perhaps—

This flying boat could escape?

Just as hope sparked in everyone’s heart, the Shopkeeper’s voice resonated throughout the ship:

“They’ve descended!”

“Don’t panic, everyone get ready to fight!”

Before the words were fully out,

the entire flying boat began to shake violently.

In an instant,

the flying boat was swarmed by endless insects!

From all directions,

countless insects whistled through the air, filling every space.

The flying boat was completely enveloped!

“Activate the Array, raise the Shield—”

Accompanied by a high-pitched shout,

layers of Aurora converged on the surface of the flying boat, forming a Spirit Shield in the void outside, preventing the insects from entering for the moment.

The flying boat that was previously shattered didn’t have a large war Spirit Shield!

But our flying boat does!

With their fighting spirits ignited, everyone shouted together:

“Kill them!”

Like madmen, they leaped out, clinging to the outside of the flying boat, striking with all their might to kill the insects.

Everyone attacked desperately, fearing that the flying boat would be devoured by the swarm.

Only Mo Ga Ru remained motionless on the recliner.

Shen Ye didn’t seem to care.

“Master! What should we do?”

The “Heart Demon” disciple— referred to as the “Blood Fiend Demon”—stood by his side, asking anxiously.

“Kill, what are you waiting for!”

Shen Ye, guarding the window, looked out at the endless tide of insects and spoke.

The Blood Fiend Demon, admiring his calm demeanor, felt a surge of genuine respect.

So relaxed.

So damn relaxed.

This kid, with such self-possession—did he have a way to escape?

Being his disciple might actually be a good thing.

“Master, I’ll protect you!”

The Blood Fiend Demon shouted, stepping in front of Shen Ye, slaughtering every insect that rushed in.
