Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 778 - 28: Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone
Bo Xiyu crumpled the important clue he had spent a million Dark Pills on. He knew he had been thoroughly tricked by Yue Jinghua, but he couldn’t flare up. The feeling was truly freaking frustrating.
Bo Xiyu was someone who knew when to bend and when to stand. He had made up his mind that he would settle the score with Yue Jinghua sooner or later. Once he arrived at Four Symbols City, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with it then.
"Xi Ya, do we really want to track the Madman Mercenary Group? Their leader ’Lion King Kuangzhan’ is not someone easy to provoke. His son ’Kuang Ting’ is participating in this Xuyang Trial, and they are probably fully focused on protecting him," one of the mercenaries behind Bo Xiyu inquired after Yue Jinghua and his people left.
"You two, one keep an eye on the Madman Mercenary Group, and the other on the July Mercenary Group. Wear the Hidden Wind Boots and don’t get spotted," Bo Xiyu, the son of the Xileng Family and the "only son" of the Bo Sai Mercenary King, his family fortune was not to be underestimated, even compared to a Super Mercenary Group like the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group.
This Xuyang Trial expressly allowed the use of Spiritual Treasures, and needless to say, he was carrying a large number of Spiritual Treasures, Spirit Pills, and Spiritual Artifacts with him.
Included among them were Hidden Wind Boots that could conceal one’s form. They also brought several Flying Profound Beasts at the eighth to ninth stage, and some Teleportation Scrolls prepared for long journeys.
After receiving Bo Xiyu’s instruction, the two mercenaries split up and took action.
The mercenary tracking the Madman Mercenary Group firmly followed them with the help of the Hidden Wind Boots.
The one assigned to track the July Mercenary Group kept watch over Yue Jinghua’s Titan at all times.
In fact, there were many others who shared Bo Xiyu’s thoughts. Those who had not been able to purchase the clues immediately thought that as long as they followed certain mercenary teams closely, they couldn’t run away forever, like monks can’t escape their temples.
But one night, the July Mercenary Team’s empty ship vanished into thin air as if it had performed Instantaneous Movement, and since then, it never reappeared in Five Saints Town, and no one knew where they had gone.
Those who have seen Dark Practitioners perform Instantaneous Movement Dark Techniques might wonder, could empty ships also have such a function?
Of course, others couldn’t guess that Yue Jinghua’s Titan, outwardly battered and shabby, was internally equipped with a rare Accelerated Instantaneous Array on the continent.
Unable to understand and having lost their trail, the mercenaries sheepishly returned to Five Saints Mercenary Town. And Bo Xiyu had no choice but to pin his last hopes on closely following the Madman Mercenary Group.
Kuang Ting of the Madman Mercenary Group was a talented young mercenary, one of the hot candidates most likely to be recognized in this Mercenary World’s Xuyang Trial, besides Bo Xiyu.
He had spent a large number of Dark Pills to buy the key clue from the July Mercenary Team, which was just one sentence: "This city is not a city, on the fifteenth of the month, Kalan Cloud Sea, chasing the moon among the colored clouds."
Waiting patiently until the fifteenth of the month, as soon as the sky began to lighten, the Madman Mercenary Group’s "Wave Cutting" quietly sailed out of Five Saints Mercenary Town and into the Kalan Peak Cloud Sea under the cover of darkness before dawn.
At the same time the assault craft, which could only accommodate five or six people, entered the cloud sea, three Flying Profound Beasts also appeared in the clouds, and they were Bo Xiyu and his companions who had been tracking the Madman Mercenary Group for many days.
Beneath them were a Thorny Thunderhawk, a Fierce Lizard Dragon, and an Ice and Fire Qima, which navigated through the cloud sea with a speed that was in no way inferior to the Wave Cutting.
They flew high and low, avoiding being detected by the Madman Mercenary Group.
It was not until they ventured deep into the cloud sea that they saw the Madman Mercenary Group’s empty ship flash and disappear after crossing a stretch of colorful clouds, just like that.
Bo Xiyu hesitated for a moment, looking at the clouds twinkling with four-colored lights, which seemed like the morning glow but not quite.
He quickly realized, it was a Transmission Array hidden within the clouds.
Near the clouds, nature’s spiritual energy is abundant, one only has to approach to feel completely relaxed and in a pleasant mood.
"So that’s how it is, Four Symbols City truly is a city beyond this world," Bo Xiyu did not hesitate in the slightest, instantly leading two mercenaries with him as they weaved into that region of multicolored clouds.
The three of them quickly vanished from sight, not emerging again until they had completely disappeared into the other end of the colorful clouds.
It was only then that a simple-looking empty ship leisurely appeared amidst the sea of clouds. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
From the outside, the ship looked as though it could fall apart at any moment, but only those who have been on this empty ship would know that its speed is lighter than the wind and faster than Thunder Flash.
"The cannon fodder has gone in; it’s time for us to enter Four Symbols City as well. Prepare the entire ship," Yue Jinghua ordered, as Qian Luo adjusted the Dark Array. The speed of the Titan was maxed out, and it passed through that multicolored Transmission Array like Instantaneous Movement.
Unlike "Wave Cutting" and Bo Xiyu with his three men who sped through the Transmission Array, Yue Jinghua instead had Qian Luo slow the ship’s speed down to the very minimum.
Just like a submarine entering water from the land, the moment it traversed the colorful clouds, the Titan momentarily paused.
The rolling sea of clouds below vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of blurry and illusory phantoms.
"Qian Luo, activate all the Defensive Dark Arrays on the Titan’s hull, everyone release your Dark Energy Armor, and be fully alert," Yue Jinghua had her face set in vigilance.
Having confirmed that Four Symbols City is concealed within a special space, Yue Jinghua was already prepared for the traversal.
Last time, when she traveled from Canglong Continent to Dark Hell, Yue Jinghua still remembered the powerful impact they encountered along the way. If not for the protection of Snake-haired Gorgon, with her Cultivation back then, she would likely have been torn to shreds by the sharp wind-borne nebulas between the continent and Dark Hell.
It seemed this traversal into Four Symbols City might be a similar case.
Yue Jinghua’s prediction was accurate; after the Titan penetrated the multicolored clouds, a Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone appeared ahead.
All around, winds as strong as a tenth level land hurricane whipped up, with countless stones carrying the sound of breaking wind and lightning rushing towards them, shaking the entire ship as if it had been caught in a tornado.
Ahead, the empty ship of the Madman Mercenary Group that had just traversed the multicolored clouds and entered the Transmission Array was moving too fast. As soon as it passed through the clouds, it met head-on with a boulder the size of a small hillock.
Engulfed by the hurricane, Wave Cutting was torn to shreds like a small boat in a tempest.
The mercenaries aboard didn’t even have time to cry for help before they were shredded to bits by the blade-like winds.
Bo Xiyu and the other two mercenaries, who followed right behind the Madman Mercenary Group, were shocked. When they realized something was wrong, they immediately surrounded themselves with Dark Energy Armor.
However, the Dark Beast spooked and threw off the several people on its back.
"Boom," a boulder instantly smashed a Lizard Dragon into a pool of blood, and another boulder howled down towards Bo Xiyu.
In a desperate moment, a strong brownish-yellow Dark Energy surged around Bo Xiyu’s body.
"Earth Defense," Bo Xiyu bellowed, a light flashing urgently from his armor, causing the boulder to shatter into dust under the light.
