I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Liu Dian stood up unsteadily, seemingly unharmed, but in reality, he was seriously injured, with a bloody hole in his right shoulder.

Standing before him was a little girl who was shorter than his thigh. She looked very much like Yan Ziming, practically a miniature version of him. Her crimson eyes, like the moon, seemed to reflect the scene of Liu Dian's tragic death.

Or rather, in the not-too-distant future.

[Holy crap! It's the Black Calamity!]

Liu Dian was already cursing Si Mo to the core. At the crucial moment, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, and it was even a being of the level of Black Calamity. He no longer had the slightest chance.

"You know what we want, so if you give us enough, we won't stop you."

Si Mo unceremoniously extended her right hand to him, opening her small palm as if to make a deal with him.

"..." Liu Dian's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

This is what is meant by the saying "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you do."

However, he couldn't get into this 'village'.

As mentioned before, the total number of divine crystals produced within the entire plan is only enough for him, Mirage Dragon, and Tyrant to share. It's impossible for Black Calamity to get a share; either Mirage Dragon or Tyrant will die.

That's what he said, but he could take a roundabout approach.

Liu Dian feigned a struggling expression and spat out a question through gritted teeth: "How much do you want?"

"Hmm..." Si Mo tilted her head and considered for a moment, "Let's have a dozen or so of the kind we ate before."

“A dozen or so…” Liu Dian’s face turned green, then turned cold: “I don’t have that many, I need to use them myself.”

"Tsk!"

Si Mo clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. Using the bargaining techniques she had learned recently, she said, "Five! No less than that!"

"Holy crap, Simo, you bastard, you've betrayed us!"

Yan Ziming's cursing voice came from afar. She had just been beaten to a pulp by Liu Dian and had just reassembled when she saw Si Mo looking for a guy who was actually making a shady deal with the enemy!

Liu Dian looked Yan Ziming and Si Mo up and down with a strange expression. "Are you two in cahoots?"

“We’ve cooperated, but we’re not in cahoots. We wouldn’t stoop to her level. Give it to us now!” Si Mo continued to beg him.

Liu Dian's brows were furrowed; he wasn't even sure if Si Mo would abide by the conditions.

Seeing that his senses for Ina were gradually shifting to another stream of light, Liu Dian said without hesitation, "It's not on me."

"Location!"

"You'd believe me if I told you?"

"We'll check it ourselves."

"..."

At this moment, the second Streamer was ready to take off.

"Jiangning!"

Liu Dian answered without hesitation. He even made a point of shouting out the location so that others wouldn't know.

He did this to prevent someone from abandoning him after they've served their purpose.

Swah——

Sure enough, the shavings disappeared into the crack in an instant.

She originally wanted to stay, but Liu Dian's shout made everyone know that Jiang Ning had hidden something good. She was very worried that if she stayed to help Yan Ziming, the Chinese would get there first and she would end up with nothing.

To be honest, while Yan Ziming might not be able to do something as drastic as this, others certainly could.

For example, Li Haoyi, he just arrived here. After hearing Liu Dian's words, he was already calling for people to intercept the goods in Jiangning. Soldiers must put the interests of the country first. What is hidden in Jiangning may very well be the origin of everything.

But when he saw Si Mo leave so decisively, his mouth gaped open like an egg.

"Damn it!" Yan Ziming cursed again. That was a really smooth move!

This guy managed to get Simo away with just a few words.

In Jiangning? What is in Jiangning that makes Si Mo and Liu Dian so concerned?

"Simo, you bastard! I'll squeeze every last bit out of you sooner or later!"

Yan Ziming angrily tried to stop Liu Dian, who had already gone after Ina, and he could no longer remain inactive.

The moment the light streaked into the air, Liu Dian's attack followed.

boom!

Under the terrifying blow that seemed to completely drain the air, the streak of light that had just shot out swayed precariously in the air currents like a small boat on a vast ocean. Fortunately, it still managed to break through the monstrous waves of power and fly into the distance.

"Don't even think about it!"

Liu Dian leaped into the air, his shadow becoming somewhat blurry. He transformed into a giant jellyfish-like creature, its body a transparent, aquamarine color, with an incredibly intricate internal structure. It seemed that every structure had been optimally selected and rooted within his body, as if it were a work of nature.

Looking at it this way, you really wouldn't guess that it's the king of those disgusting insects.

With a tumble of its jellyfish-like shell, the Gu King's body shot out as if defying the laws of physics, instantly approaching the Streamer aircraft.

"Accelerate! Accelerate! Reach maximum speed immediately!"

"But the G-force caused by acceleration will...!!! The cabin pressure hasn't been fully regulated yet!"

"I come!"

The officers inside were terrified. The Gu King, which had been thousands of meters away from them just moments before, was now right behind them, its tentacles poised to touch the hull in the next second.

One can imagine that even the slightest touch would turn this dazzling display, representing cutting-edge technology, into a cheap firework.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the streak of light instantly accelerated to its maximum speed, narrowly avoiding the attack.

But then the jellyfish moved again, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was covered again...

call out--

Damaged by the powerful energy field, one of the light's engines shattered, and it became uncontrollable, sparking as it was about to crash to the ground.

At the critical moment, Yan Ziming arrived at the speed of light and saved them. In addition, the Flowing Light was quite resistant to impact and was able to leave behind a shell.

"Get out of the way!"

The Gu King's overwhelming body pressed down on Yan Zimo, because it sensed another Sequence-level aura approaching from afar, and it would be too late if it didn't act soon!

"Sorry, this way is blocked."

The elemental wall unfolded, protecting the Flowing Light, while Yan Ziming exerted all his power, sending lightning bolts like thousands of needles piercing the Gu King's body. Blue blood splattered, but it still failed to cause any fundamental damage.

At the same time, the Gu King's millions of tentacles pierced towards the Flowing Light Ship below the Elemental Wall, and it also pressed down completely, carrying a destructive and scorching heat.

"Phew, you're too late!"

A dazzling light suddenly emerged from the void and entered Yan Ziming's body. Yan Ziming's aura surged, and the elemental wall transformed into a spear, sweeping out and severing hundreds of tentacles in response.

39. Curtains upon curtains

When they were still some distance from Africa, a beam of light appeared in the void, teleporting Ye Qianxue and Liu Mengxian out.

"That's enough, you can go back now," Liu Mengxian said gently, stroking Ye Qianxue's face.

Ye Qianxue clenched her fists, cheering her on with anticipation: "Xian'er, you can do it!"

"If you keep going like this and it doesn't work out, I don't know how I'll cope..."

Liu Mengxian chuckled lightly, seemingly relaxed, but she also felt immense pressure.

It wasn't because of the mirage dragon's power, but because of its ability to escape.

So far, she has failed in her pursuit of the Mirage Dragon several times, which has led to the creature becoming increasingly rampant and outrageous lately!

They even began to form cliques with the tyrant, brazenly violating the consensus reached during the Battle of Mountains and Seas, and wreaked havoc in the City of Crescent without restraint.

Furthermore, they colluded with the Gu King, plotting schemes right under her nose.

His heart can be killed.

"Xian'er, just do your best."

Ye Qianxue nestled in Liu Mengxian's arms for a while, encouraging her, "Even if you fail, no one can say anything to you."

"Go back now, leave the rest to me."

"Ah."

Ye Qianxue returned to the Beian Military Administrative Region. Since she was of no use here, she should shine where she could.

As soon as she left, Liu Mengxian's eyes turned cold as she gazed at the fertile African continent, walking on the sea.

“Elemental domination.” A sigh that seemed to come from countless centuries ago escaped from her pink and crystalline lips.

Endless lightning elements gathered behind her, forming a tide that grew larger and larger, encompassing thousands of meters around her, creating a raging sea. Yet, not a single trace of its power was leaked out; it remained contained and unleashed, but the oppressive force emanating from it terrified all the creatures in the surrounding seas, causing them to flee in terror.

She then issued a second instruction:

"Elemental resonance".

These words were like a spring breeze, soothing all the oppression. Not only the lightning element, but even the other elements emitted a faint light! As if responding to her call, only much dimmer than the lightning element.

Behind her, the sea of ​​lightning elements ceased to flow, instantly condensing into a 'mirror' reflecting the sky and sea. Inside, it seemed to contain another world, and the reflected scenery was not merely a simple reflection of light, but also contained a higher realm.
