Chapter 1087: Blocking the Way
Translator: 549690339
After Rearing Dragon Zi left the room, Xia Ping ‘an looked at the things in the puppet workshop and thought to himself,1 It’s indeed an ancient god bloodline family. It’s really extravagant. It seems that this Dragon Rearing family’s background is not weak.’
Xia Pingan’s mastery of the mechanical puppet art was on par with his mastery of arrays. It was just that he rarely used these mechanical puppets. The puppet workshop in front of him, in layman’s terms, was a super private factory where mechanical puppeteers made mechanical puppets. Even though Xia Pingan had seen many things, this was the first time he had seen such a luxurious puppet workshop.
He habitually waved his hand to summon the God of Blessing Child, and let the God of Blessing Child wander around him and the flying boat. Xia Pingan walked to the front of the multi-arm workbench that was more than six meters high. He gently touched the workbench with his hand and input one point of divine power. The whole workbench was activated at once. The anti-dazzling light on the workbench was lit up at once. At the same time, Xia Pingan’s consciousness was connected to the workbench at once. A few mechanical arms that looked like octopus tentacles on the workbench slid agilely on the slide of the workbench.
With a thought, one of the mechanical arms nimbly picked up a green egg-shaped crystal and inserted it into a slot on the workbench. In an instant, a huge three-dimensional mechanical puppet blueprint appeared in front of Xia Pingan. The three-dimensional mechanical puppet looked like a big tree. There were all kinds of parts, lines, runes, energy patterns, and pathways on the tree. It was extremely detailed. If this thing was really drawn using a blueprint... That blueprint could probably pull a few train carriages.
For a moment, the entire puppet workshop was filled with the light and shadow of this blueprint slowly rotating...
Xia Pingan observed it carefully for a while and finally understood what this thing was.” Interesting. This is a mechanical puppet tree that is similar to the Tree of Life. To create this thing, not only can it excavate all kinds of mines and minerals, but it can also automatically smelt and process them. It is also a mobile steel war fortress. It will probably be difficult for anyone below the Godly Venerable Rank to break through it. What is rare is that the mechanical puppet master only needs to create the core part. The rest will just need to find a Kuangqu. This mechanical puppet tree can mine, smelt, and process its own parts to complete its own strengthening...”
The blueprints of the mechanical puppets were the fruit of the painstaking efforts and wisdom of the mechanical puppet masters. There were many ingenious design ideas in them. Xia Pingan studied them carefully for a while and also gained some insights.
In the distant sky, all kinds of lights flashed. More than 20 Demigods were fighting, basically blocking the sky in front of the flying boat. Under such circumstances, if the flying boat rashly passed through the battle circle of the Demigods in the sky, it would be easy to be affected and damage the flying boat. In the sky far away from the city, there was a natural green space passage that was more than 1,000 meters long. In the Spirit Wilderness Mystery Realm, there were many such natural space passages. If one passed through the space passage, If they took a detour, they would travel a long distance and greatly delay the return time of the airship to Heavenly Square City...
Xia Ping ‘an saw what the Blessing God Child saw and frowned. The cavalrymen and warriors on the ground were basically summoned figures. They were like killing machines and looked brutal and evil.
The Demigods in the sky were divided into two groups. One group of Demigods should be the guardians of the city and looked like members of a battle group. As for the other group, they were undoubtedly the attacking side. They were arrogant and ruthless. When they attacked, they did not care about the living beings on the ground and the situation of the city. They caused huge damage to the city. Moreover, the attacking side clearly had the advantage in terms of the number of Demigods.
“Milord, when we arrived at Ruyi City, everything was still calm. Now, a huge battle has broken out and is blocking the path of the flying boat. What should we do?”
In the control room of the flying ship, Dragon Rearing Star listened to his subordinate’s question and looked at the situation in the sky in front of him. He frowned slightly. As the steward of the Dragon Rearing Family, Dragon Rearing Star only pondered for a few seconds before he immediately ordered the people beside him,” Stop the flying ship first and raise the flag of the Dragon Rearing Family.”
In this case, it was wise not to get involved in the conflict between unrelated forces. However, if they took a detour, it would waste time and weaken the prestige of the clan. Besides, Dragon Rearing Cicada was still on the flying boat. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the decision to show their identity and stop to watch the battle.
However, just as the flying ship raised the flag of the Dragon Rearing family, a guy wearing black taboo armor with wings suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the distant sky. He was dragging a stream of flames behind him as he rapidly flew toward the flying ship that was about to bypass the battlefield like a meteor. Before he even arrived, he laughed sinisterly in the sky and transmitted his voice over loudly,” If you don’t want to die, let the flying ship land. Everyone, come out and be interrogated...”
Upon hearing this, Dragon Rearing Star’s expression turned ugly. Without thinking, he went to the deck of the flying ship and released his demigod aura. He snorted coldly.” How dare you! Who are you? How dare you intercept the flying ship of the Dragon Rearing Family?!””
” Haha, what dragon? I don’t know him. I’ve killed more than one Ancient God’s descendant. You can’t scare me. Now, the area within ten thousand miles of Mount Ruyi is the territory of our Vengeful Ghost Battle Group. If you want to pass through here, you have to listen to me.” As he said that, he waved his hand, and two huge metal flywheels flew out of his hands, crashing towards the flying boat with a rumble..
