A breach in the defenses of District Three has been discovered, and a large number of exotic beasts have poured in. Qimen is short-staffed, so Jigong dispatches students to District Three for support.
The three little ones are one of the supporters.
On the way to District 3, Zhao Liuer looked at Ai Yu frequently, and always felt that Ai Yu had returned to his original state, silent and with dull eyes.
Finding a chance to be alone with Qian Cheng, Zhao Liuer quickly asked, "Qian Cheng, what happened to Ai Yu? Can autism recur?"
Qian Cheng sighed helplessly, "It seems like she's suffered some kind of blow. She won't say anything, and I can't ask her. I can only wait for her to get over it on her own."
Zhao Liuer nodded repeatedly. "So that's how it is. But...how much of a blow could Ai Yu take? She's so talented, and now she's living a life of luxury in your house."
Qian Cheng shook his head, and the topic ended.
Zhenyou called out, "Hey, what are you two whispering about? It's time to meet the person who will take over."
Zhao Liuer raised her voice and replied, "I'm here, Sister Zhenyou."
Everyone who came stood in a row, waiting for orders.
"Wei Xiaoran, Zhen You, Qi Yu, Tao Mo, Zhang Han, Zhang Zhiyi, Liu Qiyu, Ai Yu, Zhao Liuer, Qian Cheng." The person in charge checked the information one by one. "Yes, everyone is here. Let's go get our combat uniforms and weapons."
Ai Yu moved quickly and was the first to put on his combat uniform. He then stood in front of the window, crossed his hands on the windowsill, and looked up at the floating clouds in the sky.
"Ai Yu, what are you doing?" Zhen You walked over and slapped Ai Yu on the back of the head. "If you have anything on your mind, say it out. We are comrades-in-arms and a family. I don't want you to get distracted and get into trouble on the battlefield."
Ai Yu tilted his head, paused for a moment, and replied, "It's okay."
"It's okay, let's go."
"Um."
As the ten people walked out of the base, they heard a loud bang not far away. Ai Yu grew wings on his back and flew out ahead of everyone else.
A mutant tiger broke into the village, and wherever it went, screams were heard continuously.
Ai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, gripped the sword in both hands, dived forward, and stabbed the two swords into the tiger's back.
The rescued little girl stared at Ai Yu blankly, forgetting to cry at this moment: "Sister, are you an angel?"
Ai Yu glanced at her sideways and said, "Go quickly."
The tiger struggled under the sword, shook Ai Yu off, changed its target, and rushed towards Ai Yu with a roar.
Ai Yu immediately flew into the air: "Bai Qi." She put away her sword and pressed her numb palm.
Bai Qi jumped down from the air and killed the strange beast in just a moment.
Ai Yu took Bai Qi and continued to fly forward.
From afar, the defenses built by Qimen were breached. To the naked eye, the cuts appeared neat, and it was impossible to imagine how they had been breached. This place was remote, mostly occupied by farmers and ordinary people. The strange beasts swarmed in through the breach, severely destroying crops and killing many residents.
Right now, most of Qimen’s manpower is in District 7 to resist the star beasts, so they had no choice but to send out the students from Jigong.
Ai Yu rescued several people from the mouths of strange beasts one after another and arrived at the foot of the defense line.
The defense line is more than ten meters high and the gap is nearly ten meters wide.
While Ai Yu was thinking, a pangolin rushed in from outside the defense line. Ai Yu pointed his sword and Bai Qi behind him received the order and killed the pangolin like cutting grass.
Killing the beasts wasn't difficult; the hard part was creating gaps in the defenses. Building each defense line was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive, and with resources becoming increasingly scarce, if such a large gap appeared in each defense line, the consequences would be unimaginable.
What on earth could cut through the defense line so easily?
Ai Yu pulled out her notebook and reviewed the information she had gathered so far. None of the super-class star beasts she had encountered possessed such cutting power. Most likely, the mermaid had already exposed Sariel as a bubble.
Last time, the defense line was destroyed in District 9, but the gap looked more like it was caused by bombing, with irregular edges.
At this moment, an elf woman stood high on the defense line, slowly drew her bow, and aimed the arrow at Ai Yu.
Bai Qi picked up Ai Yu, who was still thinking about something, and hid behind a building.
"What's wrong?"
"There is an enemy, Camellia." Bai Qi didn't say much, just picked out the most important words.
Ai Yu flipped open the page recording Camellia. The Qimen records indicated that Camellia could steal the sariels of others. What if this seizure extended beyond just the sariels?
After all, special-grade star beasts are something that ordinary people cannot understand.
Camellia looked at the disappearing Ai Yu, frowning and looking a little aggrieved. She had finally seized such an opportunity to be alone with Ai Yu, but she was avoiding her.
It’s so unfair.
She put down her longbow, looked around, spread her hands, and fell down from the defense line.
Outside the defense line, a vine caught the camellia steadily when it fell.
Camellia let the vines wrap around her body, put away her longbow, and landed lightly on the ground. She looked at the goat, shrugged, took out a tablet, wrote four letters on it, and showed it to the goat: Eyva
This is a star beast. No, to be precise, it is the code name Lanling gave to Ai Yu.
Goat stroked his beard and tutted. "Don't you think we should learn from the Xia people and check the almanac before going out? Why do we always run into Ai Yu?"
Camellia shrugged helplessly again and sighed.
Shanyang pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, keeping Ai Yu is useful, but he didn't say to keep anyone else. I spent a lot of effort to break through this line of defense. If Ai Yu survives, there are plenty of others who will die in her place. Since Ai Yu is here, it must be as we expected. Qimen has already begun sending students from Jigong into the battle."
Camellia held her chin with her fingers, curled her lips slightly, and wrote a few words on the tablet again.
"Are you sure?" The goat looked at Camellia with eyes full of disgust and distrust.
Camellia was irritated by the goat's tone and immediately drew her bow and aimed at the goat.
The goat raised his hand to stop him: "Be careful or I'll complain to the Lord."
Camellia twitched her lips in disbelief and glared at the goat with disdain, but she still put away her bow. She pulled her whistle from her bag, calculated the time, and blew it.
At a command, the large group of star beasts hidden by the alien plants were freed from their restraints and rushed towards the gap.
Ai Yu noticed something unusual, opened his eyes to check the situation, and frowned: "Sure enough."
Such a big gap must have been caused by the star beast.
Ai Yu made a question mark behind the camellia's sari leaves, signaling Bai Qi to go and resist the star beast.
This time, it was even more obvious that the Star Beast's goal was to fight the Moon Envoy. The invasion of Xia's territory and the harm to ordinary people were merely byproducts of war.
Should we follow Xila or hunt Xila down?
Ai Yu pressed his temples and made a sound of sighing.
It would be great if she had a way to infiltrate the star beasts. Everything she knew about the star beasts came entirely from Qimen’s information and angels.
