Chapter 139 Module Island
Chapter 139 Module Island
Despite the concerns of the briquettes, the spacecraft returned to the capital star as scheduled and landed on the wasteland in the extreme north.
This place was supposed to be like the north and south poles of the earth, a piece of permafrost sealed by glaciers, but because of the existence of the Phoenix remnant, there is a never-ending fire burning here all year round, and the sky and the earth are steamed into a fiery red color.
The cabin door opened, and a scorching heat wave rushed towards the face, making most of the cabin feel suffocated instantly, and there was a burning pain between breathing.
"Damn it! This place is completely on the same level as the lava gap! I'm going to be roasted!"
Pink Claw roared and flapped her wings, and she could see sparks in the beating.
The rest of the cubs were not much better. They kept jumping their paws and circling in circles. In less than 10 minutes, the heat outside had been fully transmitted into the cabin, and the temperature control dial had issued a red alarm. .
"Come down! Why are you trying to persuade me?! Let others see the joke for nothing!"
Patriarch Hauge waved his hand.
Not far from where they landed, there were already several spaceships parked aside, all of which were the latest luxury travel spaceships, with various family emblems spray-painted on them, belonging to various high-level families participating in the awakening.
This year is the year of the first lunar month of the hundred-year cycle of the Yu clan, and the fire of the phoenix is burning extremely fiercely.There is a legend that if you awaken your bloodline on the first day of the new moon, you will be able to bathe in the overflowing phoenix energy, and after awakening, you will also be able to obtain more powerful assistance.
No one wanted to miss this kind of good deed, except for the awakened children who couldn't be suppressed, almost all those who showed signs of awakening were sent, and the airships of various families were parked outside the wasteland.
But they can only be sent here, and the next road needs to be traveled by the cubs.In addition to the burning flames throughout the year, the Phoenix Ruins also has an energy barrier that covers the entire wasteland, and only saints and those who are about to awaken can enter.
This is also the reason why the holy descendants have always been in a detached position since ancient times.
When Hauge brought a group of bird cubs into the Phoenix ruins, many wealthy nobles present were actually watching a joke.
They had long heard that the young master of Hei Yuan's family had been recruited and suffered from atavism, and hadn't shown up in public for the past three months. There had been gossip in the circle that the boy Rosard's illness was incurable.
That is to say, Hei Yuan's army birds with only muscles but no brains did not think of internal strife when such a big incident happened, and obediently guarded the Northwest Star Territory step by step.If you change to another family, the future heir dies, and the current patriarch has no other direct descendants, you will have to fight to the death for the right of inheritance.
All of a sudden, the moods of the major families were very complicated.
Black Kite is one of the three major families of the Federation. Its fleet takes more than half of the Federation's military expenditure every year, and there is a tendency to expand year by year.The other two families and the royal family are all eager for the Black Yuan clan to cause trouble and engage in internal strife, so as to take advantage of the water and cut its wings.
But Black Kite is also the main force against the Northwest Defense Line. If Hei Kite hadn't led the raptor coalition force to repel the hordes of wandering insects that had flowed into the Northwest Star Territory through the black hole 300 years ago, the Yu Clan Federation had already been in flames of war. How could it have a relatively peaceful life now? .
To this day, sporadic wandering Zergs still appear in the black holes connected to the star field. The Northwest Garrison has built a large number of fortresses on the front line to monitor the front line movements at any time.
So the black kite can be weakened, but it must not be collapsed. The Federation still needs this solid shield.
But need is need, and ridicule is still necessary.
"Hey, Patriarch Haoge brought a lot of children here this year. Are these the elites of your family? You are really young and promising. In two years, the National Forest Park will be your family's world."
A red-haired noble said with a half-smile.
He was mocking Hei Yuan, who had no successors, and all of them had atavism.Who doesn't know that if you get sick, you can't wake up, no matter how strong Heiyuan's cub is, it will degenerate into a wild bird in three to five years.
"Brother Jill Ferrer, what you said is heartbreaking."
Patriarch Jinjiu shook his head with a look of disapproval.
"I think Patriarch Hauge is also trying to fulfill the child's dream. After all, he is only a few months away from awakening. It is not in vain to visit the Phoenix ruins."
Anyway, saying the right thing and saying the wrong thing is every good word.
Hauge was not angry when he heard it.He usually has a fiery temper. If he had been squeezed like this before, he would have rolled up his arms and sleeves to beat people up.Today, he knew what was going on in his heart, so he listened with a smile on his face, not being provoked at all.
Just at this time, a platinum-gold starship studded with jewels landed on the wasteland.
It is said that the people present are all aristocratic families, and there are so many beautiful flaws in the Yu family. The flying ships are all exclusively customized, and the shape design and painting are full of hidden scheming.
However, compared with this gorgeous starship, the spaceships of the nobles are all like gray chickens, which can barely be regarded as simple style, and are inconspicuous by comparison.
"Yo, people from the royal family and holy descendants."
Hauge sneered, and an undisguised mockery flashed in his eyes.
"It's just rich and idle people like them who like these flashy things. They are so shiny that they are afraid that others will not know where they are. If they enter the Northwest Star Territory, they will be treated as live targets."
Qin Lu also felt that the boat was too dazzling, the whole body was studded with gems, and PIKAPIKA's eyes dazzled.
The cabin door opened, and the first to come out were attendants in platinum dresses. The sixteen people moved in unison, and their height and shape were not bad, which fully set off the solemn and dignified aura of the royal family.
They were protecting a tall woman in a gorgeous white-gold gown, holding a scepter inlaid with huge gemstones.
"That is the High Priest of this generation."
Hauge lowered his voice to explain to Xi Ren.
"The high priest of each generation is the emperor's chanter, and this generation is even more incredible. Her eldest daughter is already engaged to the prince. I heard that a ceremony will be held after returning from the Phoenix ruins to become the next holy priest and queen. "
"If it weren't for the awakening of the prince this time, and the year of the new moon, the high priest would not have come to preside over the ceremony in person."
"He doesn't come every time?"
"Yes, the holy priest is responsible for the bloodline awakening ceremony of the royal family, and the high priest only serves the emperor."
Hearing what he said, Xi Ren nodded.
He glanced at the woman surrounded by the crowd again, but he didn't speak, but there was a half-smile in his eyes.
It wasn't until the quasi-awakened ones stepped into the Phoenix Ruins that Qin Lu pulled La Xiren's sleeve and asked and answered in a low voice.
"What did you see?"
"Ok?"
"Just now..."
Qin Lu scratched his head.
"When the priest came out, did you see something? Is there something wrong with her?"
Xi Ren gave him a slightly surprised look, as if he didn't expect his little servant to be so sharp.
But immediately, surprise turned into connivance.
"Yes."
He nodded, and couldn't help reaching out to press the dumb hair on the little servant's head, then turned his head and looked at the quasi-awakened ones who had disappeared near the restricted area.
"I'll take you to have a look."
"what?"
Before Qin Lu came back to his senses, his waist was tightly held, his feet left the ground, and he was suspended in mid-air in an instant.
Qin Lu was not prepared at all, and was taken aback by this sudden change, and instinctively hugged Xi Ren's waist.
"Shh-"
Xi Ren made a silent gesture to him, and pointed to the parents who were still watching the quasi-awakened leave not far away.
"Don't make a sound, if you are afraid, turn your head and hug me tightly."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Lu felt his body shake slightly, like a sharp arrow off the string, rushing into the energy barrier of the restricted area at an incredible speed.
grass!So exciting!Faster than a jumping machine!
Qin Xiaolu's tears were about to burst into tears.
He has a mild fear of heights, and when he was the poorest, he didn't dare to be a high-hourly paid Spider-Man, let alone a high-altitude ride, which was costly and painful for him!
"Slow... slow down, I... I..."
He hugged Xiaoren's waist tightly, and put his face into the opponent's arms in a very useless manner, not daring to look at his feet at all.
Sensing the little servant's discomfort, Xi Ren frowned slightly, and immediately slowed down.
"Are you afraid of heights?"
He hugged the little servant tightly with one hand, and comforted him with the other hand on his back, but he still said disgusting words on his mouth.
"What a troublesome guy."
"The setting in this world is the Yu family, how can birds be afraid of heights?"
"What are you afraid of... With me here, can I still make you fall?"
Qin Xiaolu felt a little embarrassed when he said that.
In fact, his fear of heights is not particularly serious. Like before in the cold spring harbor subspace, when Xiao Ren held him to see the real world, he didn't have such a big reaction.
This time it was because he rushed too high and flew too fast, and he was a little scared.
"Ah... I... I'm fine..."
He opened his eyes, pretended to be calm and said something else.
"Ah, is this the wasteland? It's so big, and the ruins are on that flaming mountain?"
"Everyone is walking towards the volcano, why are they walking so slowly... Hey, the royal team is really fast..."
Originally he was changing the subject abruptly, but when he really saw the situation below, Qin Lu's curiosity was instantly aroused.
There is a red world under your feet. The vast land is covered with red sandstone with sharp edges and corners. It is the product of the cooperation of high temperature and strong wind all year round, which greatly hinders the speed of travel.
On the barren land, the quasi-awakened people walked towards the mountain where the ruins were located.They walked very hard, and they had to stop from time to time to replenish water supplies and determine the direction. If they were not careful, they would encounter the high temperature and strong winds that swept over them, and their sight would be blocked by the rolled up sand and stones, and they would step into dark gaps on the surface.
Among the crowd, only the royal children led by the high priest moved the fastest.Seemingly unaffected by sandstorms and strong winds, they made their way toward the ruins.It was only half an hour after entering the wasteland area, but the royal team had already left the rest of the quasi-awakened behind.
"They stole the power of the Phoenix."
Xi Ren's voice rang in his ears.
"Did you see that scepter? There is a fragment of power on it. Although it is very weak, it has the same source as the power of the Phoenix ruins, so it can be used as a guide."
Fragments of power?
Qin Lu was startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Xi Ren's finger.
The scepter in the hands of the high priest is extremely gorgeous, and the most conspicuous thing is the huge ruby inlaid on the head of the scepter.
"Is it your strength?"
he asked quietly.
From the island of the extreme east, Xiaoren has been collecting his own power, did he also fly here?
Unexpectedly, Kobane shook his head.
"No."
"This is not me. This should belong to a phoenix that has not yet grown up. When it left its strength, it should have been born shortly after birth, when it was still a baby bird."
"However, it seems to have been away for a long time, and what remains here is the flame at the beginning of its birth. But since it can burn for thousands of years and has not been extinguished, it shows that the power of this phoenix's flame is very domineering. The punishment, the power has been burning its body, making it in the pain of blood bursting all the time."
"It should have died long ago."
