Chapter 56 Swift and Decisive Action
Yu Shan was overjoyed upon receiving the news.
Aerial combat was originally her biggest concern. Although cultivators at the Heavenly Realm were already able to fly, flying required a lot of spiritual energy, which would greatly reduce their combat power.
Now, the fathead fish kept by its son's side can finally unleash its advantage as the king of the skies and completely defeat those strange beasts and birds.
Compared to the formidable land beasts, the level of the flying birds is not particularly high. The ones that Achen and his companions encountered this time were on average around the seventh rank.
In this way, Yu Shan and the others were finally able to focus on dealing with the land-based monsters.
After being in a coma for three days, Xi'er finally woke up.
Thanks to the healing magic of Uncle Bo and Aunt Lingdeng, she did not feel anything unusual after waking up.
To her dismay, Fusheng, Ruomeng, and Wujin still hadn't woken up, but Uncle Bo said that they just needed time and would wake up sooner or later.
With her mother, father, and brother all out fighting, Xi'er, having recovered from her injuries, naturally didn't want to waste any more time staying in the Great Abyss Sea.
With everyone mobilized for war, she quickly received news of a new spatial rift.
The source of the message was none other than No. 5 Mantou Ridge, which she had passed by when she first arrived on the Dust Continent.
The 18th Military Reclamation Regiment has now been established in that area, and its commander is Zi 26, who was sent there by the High Priest from the Great Abyss Sea.
Xi'er overheard this while visiting the High Priest out of boredom during her recovery.
Upon receiving this news, she couldn't wait any longer. She immediately called Xiao Bao and Ling Deng, and together with Qi Lu and Wu Yi, they set off in the spirit boat.
It wasn't until the spirit boat had flown five hundred miles away from the Great Abyss Sea that she sent a communication talisman to the High Priest, informing him of her whereabouts.
The high priest was both angry and worried, but he also knew that the girl was very stubborn and that even if he sent people to chase after her, she would not obediently turn back.
Helpless, he could only send a message to Zi26, ordering him to protect Xi'er's safety at all costs.
Xi'er traveled on a top-grade spirit boat and arrived at Mantou Ridge No. 5 in about three days.
She had just retrieved the spirit boat and landed near the 18th Regiment's garrison when Zi 26 arrived.
"Your subordinate pays respects to Goddess Bai Xi!" he said respectfully.
"No need for formalities! Enough with the nonsense, just give me the coordinates of the spatial rift!" Xi'er waved her hand and said.
Zi26 never expected that the famous goddess Bai Xi would have such a personality.
In the past, high-ranking officials were always surrounded by a large entourage wherever they went, and they also had to put on airs.
When they are about to do something, they will definitely have their subordinates investigate thoroughly to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
However, the girl in front of him only had two purple demon servants with her, plus two transformed demon beasts.
Moreover, as soon as she arrived, she didn't even have time to rest before heading straight to the dangerous scene.
Thinking of the High Priest's order, Zi26 suddenly felt immense pressure. If this only successor chosen by the High Priest suffered even the slightest damage in his hands, how could he explain it to the High Priest?
"Goddess Bai Xi reported: The location where that spatial rift appeared is very hidden, and we are currently unsure how long it has been there."
We have no idea how many strange beasts crawled out of there.
Our intelligence indicates that it is a black, circular cavity, and that strange beasts only emerge at the juncture of midnight and dawn.
The number of strange beasts that crawl out each day is fixed at six, and they are all of the same species.
The strange beast that emerged the next day was of a different species.
Each of these strange beasts is around level seven to eight. With the strength of our military reclamation regiment, dealing with two or three would be our limit.
This information was only confirmed in the last few days, so would you like to stay here until the High Priest sends more elite troops to ensure your safety before proceeding with the repairs?
Zi 26 really didn't want her to take any risks. After confirming the location of the spatial rift and the pattern of the appearance of the alien beasts, he sent a message back and then led his elite subordinates to encircle and annihilate them.
In a very short time, six strange beasts emerged, but they only managed to kill three of them.
If those strange beasts hadn't been pythons, which are relatively slow-moving, he and his men probably wouldn't have survived.
"No! If we wait another day, six more will crawl out, and the pattern you mentioned may not be immutable."
"If the rift widens in the future and more strange beasts crawl out, the losses will be even greater," Xi'er retorted.
Zi26 had no choice but to take twenty elite blue demons with her. As for the green and yellow demons, they would just be cannon fodder if they went.
This spatial rift is completely different from the one Xi'er encountered in Black Wind Canyon last time.
It appeared steadily in the sky more than six meters high, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for a round, thick black cloud.
According to the commander of the 18th Regiment, this circular spatial rift was initially light in color and only about the size of a bowl.
When the members of the military reclamation corps went out on patrol, some people saw it, but they mistook it for a large leaf blown into the air by the wind and did not pay any attention to it.
One early morning, a member of the group got up to urinate and inadvertently looked up, only to find a strange beast crawling out of the dark mass.
Although the distance was far, it was still possible to vaguely make out the strange beasts that crawled out of mid-air and fell to the ground.
The witness was terrified and ran to the regimental commander to report.
When Xi'er and the others arrived, the sun was already setting, and the distant sky was a deep crimson. This black hole, which was about five meters in diameter, stood out starkly.
This time, Xi'er came differently than last time; she had conserved her energy and was full of spiritual power.
Although she didn't know whether the rule the leader mentioned was reliable or not, she didn't hesitate at all and cast the spell to repair the spatial rift at the black hole.
When Zi26 first saw her forming hand seals, he saw that her whole body was radiating a holy light, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of submission.
The other blue demons accompanying her couldn't help but kneel down and prostrate themselves at her feet, as streams of devout faith flowed into her body.
