Chapter 419 Hu Li, standing tall on the earth (↓)
The space-based bombardment from low-Earth orbit began - before the main body of the Hu Li fell, the first thing that fell on the surface of the planet was a suppressive barrage formed by a large number of fox fire meteors.
The countless flames wrapped around Hu Li split at the moment of entering the atmosphere, turning into thousands of small light balls that sprinkled towards the surface. The dense "fireballs" burned fiercely in the atmosphere, and even instantly evaporated all the clouds in the re-entry trajectory. Thousands of bright lines turned into torrential rain, and triggered an astonishing chain explosion the moment they touched the crystalline jungle.
The entire crystalline jungle began to tremble violently, and loud rumbling sounds came from deep underground, mixed with disturbing shattering sounds and strange resonances.
Yu Sheng instantly felt the chaotic roar coming from his mind and felt the changes in the crystalline jungle. He turned his head abruptly and looked into the depths of the forest, only to see that the center of the crystalline "sea" was rapidly rising - countless "giant trees" merged together during the rapid growth, and a crystal cluster that was larger than all the previous "Yun Qingzi" combined was born from the trees.
As it bulged upward, it constantly changed its shape - sometimes it looked like an old man with angry hair and beard, sometimes it looked like a towering tree, and sometimes it looked like a living crystal cluster with no logical structure at all, as if it was in a state of continuous collapse and reorganization. And deep within this rapidly bulging cluster of crystals, there was a... huge energy reaction.
“I’ll go!” Yu Sheng’s face changed the moment he felt the energy reaction. Without saying anything, he opened a door that led back to the center of the forest. He rushed in after leaving only one sentence for Irene, “I’ll go shut down its air defense!”
Before Irene could react, Yu Sheng had already disappeared, leaving her staring blankly in the direction where the door disappeared: "...Ah?"
Then she felt her collar tighten, and Luna beside her suddenly bent down and picked her up.
The little doll suddenly exclaimed: "Hey C-shaped buckle, why did you put me down all of a sudden——"
Luna pretended not to hear and carried Irene in a direction further away from the crystal forest. "High energy reaction. Further evacuation required."
Then Irene was carried away by Luna, screaming all the way.
Yu Sheng returned to the center of the crystal jungle.
He looked up and saw that the huge crystal cluster in the center of the jungle had bulged like a mountain, and the interior of the "mountain" was filled with intense light.
There was a bright spot in the sky that was rapidly expanding. Circles of rippling flames were spreading and burning in the atmosphere, sprinkling down an even denser barrage of suppression bullets.
"The bloody disaster is really..."
Yu Sheng turned his head with a helpless look in the direction of Irene and Luna, then fell straight back.
His body began to disintegrate before he fell, and the ashes floated away and dispersed among the countless crystalline "giant trees" around him.
The next second, the entire crystalline jungle fell into deathly silence - all the accumulated energy was temporarily suppressed, the activities of all crystal branches were forcibly interrupted, a certain "cycle" deep in the earth was once again tightly imprisoned, and the crystalline jungle lost its resistance.
Although this process only lasted a short time, it was enough time for a space-based Fox missile from low-Earth orbit to hit the Crystal Mountain.
The nine-tailed fox dropped from the sky and smashed down heavily, and the highly compressed fox fire was released instantly - at first, the world was quiet for less than a second, and it seemed that even the molecules in the air were trapped in place for a moment and stopped vibrating. Then, a ball of fire brighter than the sun expanded from the center of the crater to the surrounding areas at a seemingly slow speed.
The sky was illuminated, and even the entire plain was illuminated. The dazzling daylight briefly appeared on this desolate planet far away from the sun. Then, after a while, Irene, who had been carried a long distance by Luna, heard the rumbling sound like thunder behind her.
She even felt her whole body shaking along with the rumbling thunder.
"Yu Sheng is cold again..."
The little puppet put his hands on the pergola and muttered in the direction of the crater - at this moment the strong light was rapidly weakening and had reached a level that could be seen with the naked eye.
But she quickly shook her head: "It could be very hot, probably hundreds of millions of degrees."
Luna threw Irene to the ground.
Irene: "C-BUCKLE!!"
…
Yu Sheng felt groggy. The sudden death caused an interruption in his thinking, and it took him several minutes to recall why he was in this darkness and the last scene he saw before he came to this darkness.
He just remembered a fox head wrapped in flames rushing down - it was a headbutt falling from the sky.
"That stupid girl hit him to death again."
He muttered somewhat helplessly in the darkness.
However, this time he did not wait slowly for the resurrection bar in the chaotic darkness as usual, but directly transferred his consciousness from the afterlife to the Hotel Transylvania which could serve as a "temporary body".
He needed to know Hu Li's current condition as soon as possible, and determine whether the crystal jungle had "quieted down" after this attack as planned.
Inside the Alien Hotel, which was docked in the high-altitude orbit of Shuji, the lights in the core module suddenly lit up, and the main system that had been in a dormant state quickly woke up.
"Erin."
Irene, who was rushing back with Luna, heard the call from the bottom of her heart and was shocked: "Yu Sheng?! You are not dead? Or are you alive again? So soon this time?!"
"Dead - it will take a while for my body to regenerate. I'm talking to you through the Alien Hotel now," Yu Sheng said casually, "Where are you and Luna now?"
"We're running back now. Didn't Hu Li say that we need someone to help take care of us after we use this move?" Irene had once again shamelessly clung to Luna (mainly because her short legs couldn't run fast), "Let me tell you, that move just now was really spectacular..."
"That's right. I can see it more clearly than you," Yu Sheng said quickly, "What is the current state of that crystal forest? Is it still active?"
"Crystal Jungle? There is no Crystal Jungle!" Irene looked up into the distance and responded in her mind, "It's just a big steaming pit - oh, I see Hu Li, he's stuck in the pit."
Yu Sheng: “……?”
The next second, he received the real-time images that Luna transmitted directly to the Alien Hotel through the internal channel of the Artificial Saint.
The nine-tailed fox stands tall on the earth.
Head down.
With the help of Luna's amazing speed, she and Irene returned to the center of the crater as soon as possible - and at this time, the crystalline jungle that originally covered the entire crater had already been swept away.
The central area of the crater was filled with a large amount of fine, inactive debris. The surface was still surging with heat waves and smoke and dust. In the weak and pale sunlight, it was a doomsday-like scene.
Irene looked up and saw a huge nine-tailed silver fox with its head poking out of the ground, its four legs and a pile of tails sticking out, twitching occasionally in the wind.
She finally understood what Hu Li meant by needing someone to help her out of trouble.
At this moment, she regretted why she didn't shamelessly ask Yu Sheng for a mobile phone - even a small genius phone watch, as long as it could take pictures...
Then the little doll jumped off Luna, carefully avoiding the debris on the ground and came to the side of Hu Li. It stretched out its hand and poked a tuft of soft hair on the back of the silver fox: "Hey, silly fox, are you still alive?"
The nine-tailed fox, with its head stuck upside down on the ground, suddenly shook its body and kicked its four legs wildly.
"Need help?" Irene asked again.
"Nonsense!" Hu Li's muffled voice came from underground, "I'm exhausted! Help me dig me out!"
"Can't you get out if you change back into human form?"
"I told you I'm exhausted! Changing forms consumes mana!" Hu Li's four legs kicked in the air again, "Don't make trouble. Call your mass-produced puppets to help!"
“Okay, okay,” Irene laughed immediately, and stepped back a few steps while agreeing with a giggle. “Then wait a moment, Yu Sheng has killed me with a blow to his head. Now I have to find a way to summon the mass-produced machine from the valley myself - I haven’t tried it before... Oh, by the way, let them go get some shovels first..."
Hu Li kicked his hind legs twice more, sighed helplessly in the mud and stones, and stopped moving to conserve his strength.
A gurgling sound came from her stomach.
After a while, Irene finally completed her first independent summoning, and the first batch of mass-produced dolls were summoned from the valley to the nearby area.
These were the mass-produced puppets that had returned to the valley due to a lack of power during the fight just now. Although the remaining energy was not enough to sustain the battle, they still retained their ability to move.
A large group of 66.6 cm tall little puppets, holding small shovels and hoes that they found from somewhere (even looked like they were stolen from the gardening classroom of the doll-headed kids), quickly gathered around Hu Li. Then the little guys briefly discussed the work and started digging enthusiastically.
On a distant and desolate alien planet, a nine-tailed demon fox that had just completed a space-based bombing fell headfirst into the ground, and a group of Gothic puppets holding gardening shovels were digging for their teammates in the crystal debris.
Even Irene thought this might be a bit too weird, and turned to Luna and muttered: "C-shaped buckle, let me tell you, this scene is really a bit abstract..."
Luna thought about it and nodded: "Yeah, right."
But to be honest, although the little puppets are digging very hard, their work efficiency is indeed a bit subtle.
They were still digging here when Yu Sheng was resurrected.
Watching the scene where Irene organized the mass-produced puppets to dig out Hu Li, he was shocked and speechless for a long time, and then shook his head with a smile: "How long will you let them dig?"
"Then what should we do?" Irene spread her hands. "You have no idea how hard the ground is here. The silly fox's head is stuck in a pile of rocks. I even suspect that she has 'cast' herself into it..."
Yu Sheng's eyes twitched, and he turned around and looked up at the nine-tailed fox stuck in the ground.
Hu Li kicked his legs and his stomach made a loud gurgling sound.
"My benefactor, I'm hungry."
Yu Sheng: “…”
After two seconds of silence, Yu Sheng sighed and reached out to take out his cell phone.
He had a number, and the owner of the number claimed that he could undertake all engineering projects - from building a toilet in the city center to throwing an orbital defense star fortress on an alien planet.
"This matter must be handed over to our almighty Engineer Sun."
