Quick Travel: Card Destroyer

Chapter 422 Under the Starry Sky (V)

When Fu Cangzhao arrived at the scene, Ji Xueyue had already marked out a dangerous area as usual, and no one except her and Fu Cangzhao could enter at will.

He thought it was just another boring action, but a huge iron lump next to the crack changed Fu Cangzhao's mind.

She and Ji Xueyue looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

Found the mecha master!

However, the mecha seemed to be damaged. Even though the cracks that clearly indicated contamination were right in front of it, it did not move.

Fu Cangzhao took the lead. Her ten fingers skilfully slashed through the air, guiding the scattered spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow along the path she directed. With the hexagram as the base, runes as instructions, connecting lines to explain the logical relationship, and reinforcing lines to strengthen the nodes, a standard hexagram formation was completed.

As soon as the array pattern came into contact with the crack, it hissed like cooking in an oil pan, and from time to time, several clouds of black smoke burst out. Whenever the black smoke tried to spread outside the danger zone, a piece of fine snow quietly appeared in the smoke, freezing the entire cloud of smoke into ice, and it disappeared in a few seconds.

After confirming that the area was no longer dangerous, they went to check the status of the mecha.

"The mecha's overall damage is not serious, but some important joints and energy channels have been corroded, causing the mecha to be unable to move. The mecha pilot is fine and will wake up in a while."

Although Ji Xueyue was the first one to study mechanical textbooks, Fu Cangzhao was still better in terms of understanding mechas. She walked around the mecha, analyzed it roughly, and then found the place where the cockpit might be. After groping for a while, she really touched a knob.

With a strong turn, the cockpit slowly opened, revealing a woman in a strange jumpsuit.

At least no one on the surface would wear clothes made of this material.

The people responsible for daily rescue carried the wounded away on stretchers. Logically, they should have returned to the base by now, but Fu Cangzhao was still walking around the mecha, knocking on the outer shell from time to time.

"If you like, I'll help you grab one." Ji Xueyue said when she saw how concerned she was.

"That's not necessary," Fu Cangzhao said nonchalantly, supporting his chin with one hand, "I'm just taking a look. It's the first time I see humans using mechas to fight those unspeakable strange things, so I have to touch them a few times."

After walking around several times, she reluctantly returned to the camp.

The injured mecha master woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the familiar medical room was not there, and her heart inevitably tightened. However, when she saw two extraordinary women, her nervousness disappeared.

She tried to move her limbs and felt no sluggishness, so she stood up and thanked them: "Thank you for saving my life. My name is Four Leaves Ding. I have some say in Four Leaves... in the starry sky. If you need any help, you can come to me. I'll just repay the favor."

Fu Cangzhao wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries with her, but Ji Xueyue went straight to the point and expressed her needs: "We need to contact the starry sky, what can you do?"

"Starry sky?" After hearing this word, the four leaf tripods couldn't help but frowned.

The two people in front of her saved her, and it seemed that there was a way to fight pollution, but was it a bit too hasty to talk about contacting the starry sky?

Or do they just need to get "close" and have no intention of dealing with the pollution directly?

After thinking for a moment, her frown relaxed. She did not agree to the request directly, but confirmed the details with the two people: "The 'starry sky' you mentioned may be the starry sky orbit area where the mecha masters are located? In that case, I will get two tickets to the star-ascending channel for you in the name of the Four Leaf Family inviting distinguished guests."

"Thank you for your help." Fu Cangzhao nodded immediately.

Just as she was about to leave, the Four Leaf Tripods said, "But I may need your help to solve some other problems... I hope I'm not mistaken about you."

"This is easy. You won't make a mistake in choosing someone." Upon hearing this, Fu Cangzhao couldn't help but smile. He then drove the wheelchair away, and Ji Xueyue followed him.

Only after they walked a long way out did Ji Xueyue say to Cangzhao, "Did you just agree to it so directly?"

Fu Cangzhao looked up at the sky: "This is Bing Haoqi's territory. If she says it's okay, it's okay."

"Is it related to her too?" Ji Xueyue showed a rare expression of surprise.

"After all, it was she who brought us to this world," Fu Cangzhao raised the corners of his mouth, and his tone unconsciously became frivolous, "The executor pulled us into a special space. She felt that something happened to me, so she used her world to open a back door for us. It just so happens that there is an environment here that is suitable for us."

Ji Xueyue snorted with a hint of dissatisfaction and said, "It's not easy to find an environment that suits you."

Hearing this, Fu Cangzhao's face turned bitter instantly, and he smiled bitterly: "She plays with the settings but no one cares. We are lucky to have such a world."

"Thank you for her hard work." In response, Ji Xueyue just said something that was unclear whether it was thanks or sarcasm, and did not comment any further.

In any case, it's time for them to leave the surface.

But before I really leave, there are still some things that need to be sorted out.

After leaving the Arctic Circle, they accumulated a group of believers. Perhaps because they believed in two goddesses, all those who were willing to follow them were women. Over time, they spontaneously formed a fairly effective management system, which was very similar to the clergy that Fu Cangzhao had seen before, but not so clear-cut. It revealed the atmosphere of "distinguishing between superiors and subordinates is just for the convenience of management, not really dividing people into different levels."

Fu Cangzhao found the woman who called herself the "high priestess".

"Respected Hexagram Goddess, may I ask why you called me here this time?" Upon seeing her, the high priest quickly dismissed his attendants, bowed to her, and asked respectfully.

Fu Cangzhao said nothing and just handed over a book.

"What is this...?" The high priest took the book excitedly, being extremely careful not to drop it on the ground.

Fu Cangzhao coughed lightly, signaling her not to be distracted, and explained: "This is a formation I created. You can take it and let everyone learn it."

The high priest's face changed, and a sense of sadness surged in his heart: "Is the goddess leaving?"

"You have to leave one day." Fu Cangzhao couldn't lie to her and could only hope that she would face reality as soon as possible.

"Then we-"

Fu Cangzhao pointed to the book he had just handed to her and said, "I have left this one behind. The rest is up to you."

Hearing this, the high priest's expression became extremely complicated. She pursed her lips, her eyes moving back and forth between the book that recorded the divine arts and the goddess herself, but she never dared to look directly at Fu Cangzhao. Her hands were clearly holding the book, but as if she had nowhere to put it, she repeatedly rubbed the cover.

There was a long silence between them. The high priest opened her mouth several times, but she swallowed the words every time she tried to speak, until she thought she had chosen her words and could no longer hold back.
