Yu Xiangnan skillfully put on his jetpack, and with the roar of the engine, he quickly took off, overlooking the area from high above.
Just then, a massive mechanical fortress came into view.
The fortress's surface gleams with a metallic sheen, exuding a high-tech feel.
However, before she could observe closely, the mechanical fortress suddenly emitted a sharp alarm. In an instant, all the tracking cannons on the fortress turned simultaneously, accurately aiming at her, and then a barrage of fire rained down upon her!
"Bang bang bang bang -"
Yu Xiangnan's expression tightened, and he nimbly dodged in the air with his quick reflexes.
Dense artillery fire exploded behind her, sending sparks flying; the situation was extremely critical.
However, the jetpack was quite unstable, bouncing around in the air for a short period of time, making people feel nauseous.
Now I finally understand why Huo Qingyi vomited as soon as Bu Ya lifted her up into the air...
Just as she was feeling somewhat powerless, a dark shadow suddenly swept past her, and a hand pulled her forcefully.
Soon, Yu Xiangnan found herself being taken away from the danger zone. When she regained her balance and looked back, she discovered that the person who had saved her was Bu Ya.
"!!!"
We finally found it!
“This is a safe zone, we won’t be detected…” Buya looked around. “I thought you looked familiar just now. Little sister, what are you doing here? I haven’t seen you for months and you’ve already reached level 72. I didn’t believe it when Bula told me.”
Bu Ya's words were full of surprise.
Yu Xiangnan said with a serious expression and a firm tone, "I came here specifically to find you."
"Looking for me?" Bu Ya asked, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Yu Xiangnan nodded.
The Dundun Beasts possess a unique ability to sense each other. When they were sucked into the energy collapse zone of the void, Bula was right there, so it's possible that Buya already knew about it.
If I don't mention it at all, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings if Bu Ya finds out later. It's better to be honest than to cover it up and only increase suspicion.
Moreover, she also wanted to ask Buya about the holy site of Ranize.
Yu Xiangnan took a deep breath and told Bu Ya about how he had been sucked into the energy collapse field by the huge void in the survival instance, encountered Luo Pin, and was then chased by the third reversed Ye Zhe.
A hint of undisguised shock flashed in Bu Ya's fiery red pupils.
"The third reversed card, Night Snake..."
She murmured to herself, her voice full of doubt.
"Logically speaking, the Eight Reversed Cards wouldn't even care about a newly opened planet. Besides, there aren't even any players above level 80 on Blue Star right now, so it doesn't pose any threat at all. Why would the Third Reversed Cards go to all the trouble of going to Blue Star to kill you?"
Yu Xiangnan shook his head and answered truthfully, "I don't know either."
Bu Ya frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, she slowly spoke: "Based on your description of what you saw and heard in the energy collapse zone, upon closer examination, is the reason you were implicated related to Luo Pin? However, based on my understanding of the eight reversed positions, although they are constantly deceiving and fighting each other, they are not likely to directly launch a pursuit."
"After all, there are clear rules prohibiting the eight reversed cards from fighting each other."
"Hmm... I suspect that it is highly likely that the third reversed position has some special means to move Luo Pin to a non-jurisdiction area that is outside the system's control."
At this point, Bu Ya abruptly changed the subject, looking directly at Yu Xiangnan with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "I often buy things from Luo Pin, so I can be considered a regular customer, but we don't usually talk much. Did you know that he is the eighth reversed of the eight reversed positions?"
Yu Xiangnan nodded slightly, his expression changing instantly.
"I'm the one running this treasure trove of a conscientious little shop now..." she paused before speaking, her voice carrying a complex mix of emotions.
Upon hearing this news, Bu Ya's expression instantly became extremely complicated, but she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath and gently patted Yu Xiangnan's shoulder.
"I see."
"How exactly did you find me? Could it be that grumpy, immoral old NPC told you?"
Is she short-tempered? Does she lead an immoral life?
The image of the old man who had been loitering in the alley for so long and who had blasted the rubber duck to ash with a laser cannon instantly flashed into Yu Xiangnan's mind.
All features fit together perfectly.
Yu Xiangnan replied, "Actually, before we came out of the energy collapse zone, Luo Pin gave me something. At the time, I was full of doubts, but after we came out safely, I checked it and found a note he had written inside."
"The note not only mentioned District 023, but also a prop that I had never heard of before."
"What prop?"
“Aeonalloy”.
Upon hearing this string of English words, Bu Ya's pupils contracted sharply, and she seemed to freeze in place.
After a long while, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, as if lost in deep thought, or perhaps talking to herself: "I didn't expect Luo Pin to be searching for this special metal too..."
"Little sister, do you know why he's looking for this?"
"Of course, but... after I tell you, can you promise to tell me some things I want to know as well?"
Yu Xiangnan looked at Bu Ya, quietly waiting for her answer.
Bu Ya was taken aback for a moment, then softly replied, "Okay, of course."
Yu Xiangnan then told Bu Ya about the curse of Mudi Star.
"Luo Pin had been secretly searching for a way to lift the curse, and he devoted a lot of energy and time to it. He discovered that Aeonalloy seemed to be able to lift the curse."
However, while reviewing other scattered materials and records, she discovered that things seemed more complicated than they appeared. All indications suggested that Luo Pin's target was not to lift the curse upon himself, but rather someone else.
But who it is remains a mystery.
After listening, a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashed in Bu Ya's eyes, a mixture of surprise and understanding.
She remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "So he was working on this matter."
After speaking, Bu Ya raised her head and looked into the distance, as if lost in memories.
“I’ve actually been looking for Aeonalloy in District 023 for many days now.”
“We Golden Shields are not the only species on Lanize, but the planet has a harsh environment and very few creatures can survive. In order to survive, our ancestors used their wisdom and strength to create the ‘Golden Shield’ for self-protection, thinking that they could live in seclusion and live peacefully.”
"But we still have to rely on this planet. Its resources and energy, no matter how scarce, are the foundation for our survival."
"Currently, the energy of this red sand is only enough to support the 'Golden Shield' for two years. If a solution cannot be found within two years, the 'Golden Shield' will become completely ineffective."
