Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

The Bureau of Works and Manufacturing, the Furnace of Creation.

A fierce battle is unfolding, with a creature known as the Abundant Black Deer blocking the train's path.

Powered by the Jianmu tree behind it, it gained endless regenerative abilities, rendering everyone's attacks ineffective.

Often, the wound is healed the very next second after a small injury is caused.

"No! This will go on forever," Walter said, panting.

At this point, Bronya also shared her speculation.

"That thing is probably using Jianmu to heal itself. As long as we can find a way to sever its connection with Jianmu, we can kill it. Kiana, see if you can transfer it into the virtual space!"

Kiana instantly understood Bronya's meaning, and the next moment she sent the Abundant Black Deer into the Imaginary Space.

"I will take care of that deer afterward. In the meantime, please find a way to destroy the root system of the Jianmu tree here."

After saying that, Kiana also transferred herself to the imaginary space.

At this moment, within the imaginary space, the Abundant Black Deer was observing its surroundings, eager to return to the roots of the Jianmu tree as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is because of its duty, and on the other hand, it can only fully exert its terrifying self-healing ability under the root system of the Jianmu tree.

Unfortunately, Kiana won't give it that chance.

Previously, when she was outside, Kiana did not dare to use too much power because she had to be careful of the Creation Furnace behind the Abundant Black Deer, for fear that a ripple might damage the Creation Furnace.

Now there's no need for that concern anymore. Instantly, dazzling flames erupted around Kiana's body, and then she was clad in a silver-white suit of armor.

That was the armor Kiana wore when she was known as the Herrscher of Fire. It contained the power of the Herrscher of the Void, the Gem of Tranquility, and everyone else, as well as the Gem of Plague that embodied Himeko Murata's will.

Her armor symbolizes Kiana's rebirth from the ashes, becoming a truly determined warrior.

Kiana felt her power at this moment. Although it was much weaker than when she used her full strength, it was enough to deal with this Abundant Black Deer!

Kiana picked up the greatsword called the Blazing King Sword and pointed it at the head of the Bountiful Black Deer. Then, in a flash, she appeared in front of the Bountiful Black Deer.

The sword light flashed across the upper left of the Bountiful Black Deer, and then a diagonal wound appeared on its body.

The Bountiful Black Deer jumped backward in pain, then stomped its right foreleg on the ground, instantly causing several strange branches to sprout around it.

Kiana knew, of course, that each of these branches possessed its own unique abilities; she had thoroughly understood their individual capabilities while she was outside.

For example, the outermost blue branch; if you are attacked by it, you will fall into a state of mental confusion for a period of time, the duration of which depends on the strength of the person who is hit.

The stronger you are, the faster you can make contact.

On the other side of the green branch, there was a branch covered with pink and white flowers, which the Abundant Black Deer used to heal itself.

Further in are branches covered with golden leaves; their purpose is to retaliate, launching a counterattack whenever they attack a unit they deem a friendly unit.

The branch closest to the Abundant Black Deer radiates golden light, and its leaves are also golden. Most importantly, it will bear golden fruit over time, and the energy fluctuations on the Abundant Black Deer will double every time a fruit is formed.

When two or more fruits grow, the Abundant Black Deer will unleash a powerful attack.

To be honest, Kiana just couldn't understand why the Abundant Black Deer would be strengthened when the fruit simply grew. Wouldn't it be better to just eat it directly?

Without hesitation, Kiana activated the Honkai energy within her body, and scorching flames instantly ignited from the sword before she swung it out.

First, the air was compressed for a few seconds, then expanded instantly, and a violent explosion occurred from the location of the Abundant Black Deer. A mushroom-shaped cloud suddenly appeared in the imaginary space.

Unfortunately, this level of attack was not enough to completely kill the Abundant Black Deer. After the dazzling flames died down, the Abundant Black Deer slowly emerged from the thick dust.

However, the Abundant Black Deer no longer possessed its initial composure; every inch of its body was now covered in burns. Because it was currently in the Imaginary Space and its connection with the Jianmu Tree had been severed, the Abundant Black Deer was healing its wounds using its own power.

However, compared to the boundless power of the Jianmu tree, the power of the Abundant Black Deer itself seems insignificant.

Although the imaginary space is filled with imaginary energy, the Abundant Mystic Deer itself does not have the ability to absorb this unclaimed imaginary energy.

Therefore, with its self-healing ability greatly reduced, the imaginary energy within the Abundant Black Deer is gradually running out. Left with no other option, the Abundant Black Deer can only release all its remaining energy, intending to fight Kiana to the death.

Unfortunately, the Abundant Black Deer's intelligence was ultimately a bit low. Since Kiana was able to transfer it here, she could naturally choose to leave the imaginary space to dodge its desperate attack, or even replace its target with herself.

Facing the light wave that the Abundant Black Deer desperately fired, Kiana simply smiled, and then a portal appeared in front of her.

The beam of light disappeared into the depths of the portal, and then a portal silently appeared above the Bountiful Black Deer.

By the time the Abundant Mystic Deer realized what was happening, it was too late. The light waves that had disappeared had reappeared inside the portal.

The beam of light evaporated half of the Abundant Black Deer's body with the force of thunder, but even so, the Abundant Black Deer did not die.

Its remaining body is currently trying to repair itself. Although the process is slow, it will surely be reborn one day.

Kiana couldn't help but marvel at the resilience of the Abundant Black Deer.

"If I remember correctly, Jianmu is a miracle of abundance, and this deer is merely a creation of this miracle. Just the fact that it can possess such strong vitality, could it be that all people or things related to abundance have similar and exaggerated vitality?"

Kiana murmured, then used the Herrscher of the Void's power to cut the body of the Abundant Black Deer into countless pieces. Not satisfied, she used flames to burn all the pieces to ashes, striving to leave not a single cell behind.

Kiana only returned to reality after confirming that the Abundant Black Deer was completely dead.

To Kiana's surprise, she didn't see anyone else when she returned to the original spot.

After thinking for a while, Kiana decided to wait where she was. It wasn't that she couldn't use the Herrscher of the Void's ability to teleport to Bronya and the others, but there was no need for it.

She sensed that Bronya and the others were on their way back. It would be more convenient to wait for them to return than to go looking for them herself.

Sure enough, not long after, Bronya and the others appeared from the elevator in front of Kiana.

"It seems your end is finished too."

Bronya noticed Kiana standing there the moment she came up. No need to ask, their tacit understanding over the years had already made them both know what was going on.

"Are you trying to figure out how to get rid of this tree root?"

"of course."

Kiana later learned the reason from Bronya's explanation.

It turns out that after Kiana brought the Abundant Black Deer to the Imaginary Space, everyone started using the Flowing Light in the Box to cut off the roots of the Jianmu tree.

Unfortunately, the main root system was still too large. The power of the light from the box in my hand was not enough to penetrate the main root system, so while the main root system was still burning, it was also healing its injuries on its own.

With no other option, the group had to first search for roots and branches located elsewhere that were connected to the main root system, in order to weaken the main root system's ability to recover.

So how are things going on your end?

"To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered such a troublesome opponent. Although I was able to deal with it easily, its terrifying regenerative ability still startled me. If my strength is not enough to crush it, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for you guys to come back and figure out a way to deal with it together."

Upon hearing this, for some reason, a look of longing appeared on Tingyun's face, but she quickly concealed it.

Because Kiana hid her expression so quickly, she momentarily doubted that it was just her imagination. However, considering Tingyun's companionship along the way, Kiana thought it was better not to doubt it for now.

They were definitely wary of her, but the mission here was now over, and everyone planned to go back and report.

However, Dan Heng has not yet replied to the message, which has made everyone somewhat worried.

After returning to the hotel where everyone was resting, Walter also summoned the rest of the train crew to his room.

Walter looked at the assembled group and officially began a simple meeting.
