"See that?"
The Nightmare Beast's voice was tinged with laughter:
"With just a thought, the symbiotic anchor point in your mental sea will pull it back directly. Why wait for it to slowly fly away?"
"Besides, if the little guy wants to come back, he can sneak back into your mental sea in the next second and eat the mental energy you stored up as a snack, faster than you shooting arrows."
After hearing the Nightmare Beast's explanation and seeing the eager and expectant look in the little infant spirit's eyes, Li Yu's worries dissipated considerably.
He raised his hand and patted the little infant spirit's head. When the tip touched the little infant spirit's soul, the strange and tenacious connection in his spiritual sea became even clearer.
So this is the symbiotic relationship that the Nightmare Beast was talking about. No matter how far the little infant spirit goes, this connection will never be broken.
Li Yu was completely relieved. He raised the bow again, exerted force with his arm, and the bowstring made a slight hum as it was steadily pulled to its full length!
"Aba—!" The little infant spirit immediately raised its tiny finger excitedly towards the dark clouds above, as if it were about to launch a tender charge.
The Phoenix Bow also emitted a tremor like the cry of a phoenix.
Li Yu's fingers, which had been strumming the strings, suddenly loosened!
Boom——!
A golden-red streak of light tore through the air, like a blazing meteor shooting backwards, instantly piercing through layers of rain and disappearing into the endless, heavy clouds above Kangcheng, leaving only a trail of light that gradually faded away!
Along with the flowing light, the infant spirit tightly clutching the arrow also vanished.
The arrow traveled so fast it broke the sound barrier, causing a brief sonic boom. The little infant spirit, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, it pressed its round head against the arrow shaft, feeling the lightning speed, and happily whimpered as if it were enjoying an unprecedentedly exciting journey.
Li Yu stood on the rooftop, her gaze fixed on the direction in which the firelight had disappeared.
Upon careful sensing within his spiritual sea, he indeed detected clear emotional fluctuations from the infant spirit—
It was pure excitement and elation, an endless curiosity about the unknown and distant places, mixed with a touch of the fearless exploration of a newborn calf.
The trail left by the streak of light illuminated the sky above Kangcheng. The members of the Seventh Regiment naturally knew that it was the ability of their regimental leader, Li Yu. However, the native inhabitants of Kangcheng had never seen such a sight before, and they were all clearly shocked by this earth-shattering arrow.
That is...
"Was it a shooting star? But how could a shooting star fly from the city into the sky?"
The residents spread the word, and they all came out to witness this unprecedented light.
Even Chen Hai, who was heading towards the mine, noticed the light in the sky. He looked up and sensed Li Yu's presence within it, which greatly shocked him.
The power of this arrow was simply unheard of!
Chen Hai thought to himself, just as he had guessed, the new city lord Li Yu's strength was unfathomable and definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, he would not have dared to directly occupy a major city in Zhongzhou. Moreover, Zhongzhou had been unusually indifferent until now.
Only after the light completely disappeared did Li Yu turn his gaze away and look at the thick wall of fog surrounding Kangcheng.
Ma Yuanbai is right; the thick fog surrounding Kangcheng is indeed like a natural fortress, effectively isolating it from the outside world.
The combat power of those mutated spider swarms in the fog is probably enough to easily intercept even a well-equipped Awakened squad, and their defensive capabilities are beyond doubt.
Thinking of the enormous, swift spiders in the fog, Li Yu suddenly recalled the scene of Xiao Zhan and his black-armored cavalry charging into battle when everyone was vying for the Dragon Vein in Yang City.
The Seventh Regiment was ultimately developed from a group of refugees, so its foundation was weak. Its high-end combat power currently relies almost entirely on him, which is undoubtedly a significant weakness.
An idea sprouted in Li Yu's mind: if only the Awakened of the Seventh Regiment could be able to ride these powerful and terrain-savvy spiders in the mist, just like Xiao Zhan's Black Armored Cavalry, and form a unique "Spider Cavalry".
Not only will the overall combat power of the Awakened be enhanced, but the mobility and overall strength of the entire Seventh Regiment will also be elevated to a whole new level!
At that time, using the dense fog as natural cover, and relying on the spiders' ghostly movement speed within the fog, coupled with the ranged attacks of the Awakened Cavalry and the support from the giant cannons on the city walls...
Kangcheng may not be considered impregnable, but it is by no means something that can be easily shaken by ordinary forces.
Moreover, Kangcheng still has a final trump card hidden underground.
At least when he needed to leave Kangcheng, Kangcheng's apparent strength was sufficient to deal with some powerful awakened individuals, relying on its own power and the city's defenses.
Thinking of this, Li Yu jumped off the rooftop, her body landing lightly on the ground like a raindrop, without stirring up a single drop of water.
His control over his body is beyond the imagination of ordinary awakened beings.
Li Yu originally wanted to catch up with Ma Yuanbai quickly and ask him to help select some bold and meticulous young awakened individuals to test the feasibility of "spider riding".
Just as Li Yu sensed Ma Yuanbai's presence, he noticed that Ma Yuanbai had stopped.
At this moment, Ma Yuanbai suddenly stopped, his face showing a look of regret as if he had suddenly remembered something extremely important.
"Vice City Lord Ma, what's wrong?" Chen Hai, who was following behind him, was puzzled by this sudden action.
"Sigh..." Ma Yuanbai sighed heavily, his brows furrowed as he looked towards the mine: "I only remembered the orders, but forgot the more important things."
"What is it?" Chen Hai asked, puzzled.
Ma Yuanbai rubbed his fingers together: "Even a clever cook can't make a meal without rice."
At this moment, Li Yu, looking puzzled, quickly caught up from behind, wondering when Ma Yuanbai's perception had become so strong that he could detect him in advance and stop to wait for him.
Little did Ma Yuan know that Li Yu was chasing after them from behind. It wasn't until Li Yu got close enough that the two of them realized that Li Yu's presence was already very close.
When Ma Yuanbai saw Li Yu, his worries vanished instantly, and he felt relieved. His expression then turned to great joy.
Before Li Yu, who had caught up with them, could even explain his purpose, Ma Yuanbai had already bowed respectfully and said:
"City Lord!"
Li Yu narrowed her eyes. Ma Yuanbai's fawning expression was unusual. This attitude and this way of addressing him didn't seem like he was about to say something good.
Ma Yuanbai usually calls Li Yu by her full name, but when it comes to crucial moments, he starts using a more respectful title.
As expected, Ma Yuanbai clearly had something to say, and fearing that Li Yu might find an excuse to slip away, he darted forward and grabbed Li Yu's arm tightly before speaking:
"Lord of the city, now that our Seventh Regiment has taken full control and moved into Kangcheng, things have finally stabilized."
"But people get hungry when they're alive, and when they're hungry they need to eat, and after eating they need a place to live, and once they have a place to live, they start to pursue many other things..."
"stop."
Li Yu interrupted Ma Yuanbai's inexplicable and roundabout opening remarks:
What exactly are you trying to say?
