Chapter 288 Beacon Fires



[Xiao He: Are you under pressure?]

[Yang Xing: This side is fine, we can hold on. Let's go break through the second key point!]

[Xiao He: Received]

The two piloted their submarine into the trench and released a flashbang towards the deepest part.

This is also a god-level flashbang specially made by the god of light, Duke. One shot can illuminate the entire trench as if it were daytime and keep it lit for a long time.

The two didn't linger; they threw a flashbang and quickly made their escape, leaving only a surveillance camera behind.

The barrier at the bottom, draped with a dark curse, was torn apart by the light, revealing a hideous and enormous skull.

However, this head is just the tip of the iceberg.

Based on its size and posture, its entire body could potentially be buried under the sea by the Nuojin Continent.

"It's true that the Nuojin Continent was created by the ancestors of Gray, but their original purpose seems to have been only to suppress this behemoth," Wang Xuefeng said softly, watching the footage on the monitor.

This scene was also playing simultaneously on Yang Xing's screen.

Everyone fell silent.

The behemoth was bound by countless thick iron chains, including the one forged by Annie Gray.

These chains are hooked into every corner beneath the continent of Nuojin. As long as the behemoth gains enough power, it can overturn the entire continent the moment it is resurrected.

This power comes from the sacrifices made by many Gray people...

"Is Ani Gray dead?" Xiao He suddenly asked.

"It's hard to say." Wang Xuefeng shook his head: "Even if he's dead, he didn't hang the hook on the ground."

After pondering for a long time, Xiao He asked again, "Would losing one have a significant impact?"

"It might have some impact, but it won't be particularly crucial, otherwise that wouldn't be the style of Qingniao," Wang Xuefeng replied.

Xiao He frowned slightly.

"If the giant beast were to awaken and find itself bound, it would certainly struggle desperately."

"However, according to Valerie's speculation, if these chains connect the barriers of every abyss, then all the humans seeking refuge will die from the temporal turbulence, and even I would be unable to save them."

"Yes." Wang Xuefeng nodded.

"So we have to destroy it before it can be resurrected?" Xiao He asked uncertainly.

“It can be destroyed, but a replacement must be found.” Wang Xuefeng opened the map and drew a region on it with a pen.

"Because according to estimates, its skeleton lying flat is at least over 100 meters high, which means that the overall height of the entire continent would drop by more than 100 meters."

"You have to understand that a rise in sea level of 100 meters is a devastating blow to the Nuojin Continent, which has a low average elevation to begin with."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He stroked his chin: "How about we find a few pillars to prop it up first? For example, could we ask Kiroga to make a few thick ones?"

Wang Xuefeng slowly stroked his chin, and after a long while nodded: "Perhaps it's feasible."

[Xiao He: @The universally loved and flower-adored Earth Grandpa Kiroga]

[Xiao He: ? What kind of garbage did you change?]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: Little Lotus, what's up?]

[Xiao He: Make me five pillars, the really thick kind.]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: How thick do you want it?]

[Xiao He: It's at least twice as wide as the Zuniga Passage!]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: So thick!! Where am I supposed to put this?!]

[Xiao He: Place this piece of land underneath as a buffer.]

[The universally loved and admired Earth God, Kiroga: That's a bit troublesome. I'll have to create five clones and go myself.]

[Xiao He: That's fine. I'll draw the location on the map for you later.]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: When do you want it?]

[Xiao He: You can ask for it whenever you're ready.]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: No problem, but I need someone to fill my position.]

The conversation between the two took place in a group chat, and the other seven people could also see it.

Manny, who was fiddling with her phone, happened to see their conversation and stepped forward.

[Manny: I'll take Zof with me. I can fight and take care of her at the same time.]

[The beloved and charming Earth God, Giloga: Then I'll wait for you.]

Manny: Okay!

Seeing that they had already made a simple agreement, Xiao He immediately told Yang Xing about his plan, hoping that the city would be prepared.

Because Xiao He's method of "eliminating" the giant beast's skeleton was very simple.

No knives or guns are needed.

Just put the whole thing in your backpack...

-

Quiroga thumped his aching back.

Looking at the endless pterosaurs on the horizon, he couldn't help but feel a little bored and annoyed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have readily agreed to Xiao He's suggestion.

He wants to find a different place to cause trouble.

“Five pillars… one in each direction… one in the middle of the land…”

"What kind of stone should I choose...?"

"It not only has to be thick, but it also has to be extremely hard... It can't just fall apart after being washed by seawater a couple of times..."

"Ugh, this is such a hassle..."

He muttered to himself as he conjured all sorts of rocks in his palm.

He would conjure one up, pinch it, then toss it away with a dissatisfied look and move on to the next one.

"If all else fails, then use diamonds!"

"I hope it won't be discovered and hollowed out later..."

Quiroga shrugged; he didn't particularly care about these things.

Soon, five small, crystal-clear cylinders lay in his palm, reflecting a faint glow in the sunlight.
