Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Last Silence
Torrential rain before the catastrophe.
A seemingly lethal light green gelatinous body mixed in the rain.
The Chaos Monsters on the Floating Island have homogenized body mutations.
All kinds of clues were strung together, and Yan Jing and the others quickly realized that the chaos monsters in front of them were likely to have been affected by the Dark Calamity, and the direction of their mutation was likely to indicate the characteristics of the Dark Calamity this time.
"Venerable, the organs on the bodies of these Chaos Monsters are all biased towards aquatic creatures without exception, even high-level Chaos Monsters are unavoidable, which is enough to prove that those light green gelatinous bodies mixed in the rain have extremely strong mutation attributes."
Shen Qiong held the chainsaw sword and flicked some of the stumps that had just been cut off, bent down to take a look, and added,
"Based on past experience, this mutation is unlikely to be a coincidence, and I suspect that this disaster may lead to large-scale flooding in the surrounding environment......"
Halfway through the words, Shen Qiong frowned.
Despite his inferences, he was also aware of how outrageous his words were.
You must know that this is 10,000 meters in the air, and the topography of the floating island is a plane as a whole, and there is no possibility of impounding water, which means that no matter how heavy the rainstorm outside, it will fall directly into the sea.
How is it possible to form a large area of deep water?
"During the dark disaster, anything can happen, and we have not experienced much of the abnormal environment, so I suggest that a few corpses be collected for analysis, and we must further understand their situation."
Shirley has always been a man of action, and no matter how strange the situation described by Shen Qiong, she immediately said,
"I immediately contacted the Sky Survey and Thunderstorm, so that the boat people were ready to land on the island while leaving a group of people to make diving equipment."
In the face of the dark disaster, no amount of preparation can be overstated, Yan Jing and Shen Qiong have no objection to this.
Besides, now is not the time to calm down and discuss carefully, the battle outside is still going on.
After arranging a few team members responsible for the transfer of corpses, Yan Jing returned to the battlefield with the remaining combatants.
With a whole team of transcendents thrown into the battle, coupled with the special existence of Yan Jing, the situation on the battlefield unsurprisingly tilted to the side of the human race.
In addition, the area of the floating island is not large, and the carpet investigation went very smoothly.
As the Chaos Monster was cleared, the two Sky Dragon Boats hovering nearby quickly approached.
The passage on the side of the ship is open.
Elevators for boaters to carry all kinds of equipment, gangways descend one after another, and then mechanical booms for heavy cargo are also put into operation, and various items that have been packed on the way to the floating island are transferred to the floating island.
The first to come down were Fu Shudao and Wu Chaoxian.
Their mission is the most important, each with a group of trained boat people, who will repair the circle and the corresponding equipment and go straight to the lighthouse, where they must be re-lit before the disaster strikes, so as to give the boat people hope of survival.
Then there were the neatly dressed young and middle-aged boat people led by Zhao Henian and Xiao Ling.
On the way to the floating island, they had already renovated the dragon boat deck under the dispatch of two logistics managers, to be precise, to build the first layer of outer defense line, so as to buy as much time as possible when the dark disaster came.
When Yan Jing and the others were fighting, the mobilization of many boat people on the ship had already been completed, and there was no need to waste any more time.
The boat people knew exactly what they were going to face next.
In order to survive, hundreds of men landed on the island and immediately went into action, assisting the combat troops in reinforcing the various defensive positions on the floating island, while attempting to repair some of the less damaged batteries.
After a large number of equipment and personnel successfully landed on the island and began work.
The two empty dragon boats, the old and weak, women and children who had no combat effectiveness, disembarked one after another, and they all had to move to the lighthouse in advance.
At the same time, Yan Jing was riding a tiger firefly to patrol the area.
It's not that he did it in a hurry, but Fu Shudao specially found his request.
Venerable Yan, or the name of the Divine Envoy of Yan, represented the powerful man who protected them to the vast majority of the boat people, and because of this, as long as they could see that Yan Jing was still nearby, they could feel at ease.
This in itself is also an excellent opportunity to bring people together.
If the lighthouse wants to play a big enough role, what it needs is the trust and even faith of the boat people in Yan Jing, and the boat people of the Thunder have seen Yan Jing very few before this, and this is the first time that the two sides have met.
The eyes of the boat people followed Yan Jing.
After realizing that the oracle was there to protect their safety, the efficiency of work was greatly improved.
People who had been in the cabin for a long time, and who were worried about the sudden change in the environment, quickly stabilized.
The boat people didn't know that Yan Jing's attention was actually not on them at all at this time, and Hu Ying was just wandering around, not specifically approaching the crowd.
At this time, Yan Jing was observing his surroundings and calculating the time at the same time.
Under his leadership, the combat forces recaptured the floating island by twelve o'clock, and the subsequent repairs and other work took him longer than expected.
It's one thing for elemental psionic energy to be suppressed, it's another thing for Yan Jing to perceive the wind and water elements.
Previously, in the lighthouse, Shen Qiong had doubts about his judgment, but now Yan Jing could clearly sense that the water elements inside and outside the floating island had entered a highly active state, just like the chaotic energy.
The most obvious manifestation of this change is that the brightness of the environment is decreasing at a visible rate and the water mist is spreading.
It was just after noon, which should have been the brightest time of the day, but the sky above the floating island was shrouded in thick lead-gray clouds, and the storm showed no signs of abating.
The mist didn't know where it came from, as if a giant beast was breathing in the sky, covering the inside and outside of the floating island.
What's even more troublesome is that Yan Jing has no time left to stay in the Divine World.
The torch has so far given no information on how long it will stay, which means that by midnight tonight, no matter what the situation is, Yan Jing will immediately return to the present world, which is exactly what he fears.
In the unlikely event that the Dark Plague really struck at midnight, Fu Shudao would not have time to pray on the spot for the torch to send Yan Jing to come again, and if this happened, it would have disastrous consequences for the boatmen gathered on the floating island at this time.

Unfortunately, when the dark disaster will come, it is not something that anyone, including Yan Jing, can control at all, and they can only passively carry out various defensive preparations.
Riding the tiger firefly around the entire floating island three times, Yan Jing glanced at Fu Shudao, who had been busy at the top of the lighthouse for a while, and lightly clamped the waist and abdomen of the tiger firefly with his legs, the latter immediately understood, and flapped the insect wings to carry him to the dome of the lighthouse.
He had to figure out how the lighthouse worked.
"The core installation of the lighthouse is divided into three main parts."
The inspection had been preliminarily completed, and Fu Shudao, who was directing the crew to repair the dome array, introduced it to Yan Jing.
"One is responsible for guiding and condensing the beliefs of the boat people, the base of the will energy, that is, the prayer buildings surrounding the statue, each prayer building is built according to the instructions of the god on the fire, and contains special energy, we have tested it just now, and it has not been eroded by the chaotic energy."
"The second is the idol that bears the power of faith, which is your ...... The statue of the Dragon and Tiger Yama was built while you were fighting, and is currently being assembled, and it is hoped that it will be able to replace the god of Li Huo in the lighthouse in the near future. ”
"The third is the circle we are currently in, which is responsible for releasing the energy collected by the idol and creating a true lighthouse light."
After many years of recovering the lighthouse, Fu Shudao seemed quite excited, even if the black clouds were already crushing the city outside the floating island, it still did not prevent him from introducing all aspects of the lighthouse to Yan Jing with great interest.
"I have a question that I would like to be answered."
Yan Jing looked at the patterns of the magic circle under his feet that spread throughout the lighthouse fortress, and suddenly asked,
"Once the ritual begins, the Dragon Tiger Yama Statue begins to accept the power of faith from the boat people, and whether I, as the true entity, will also be affected, after all, when the boat people pray to the Dragon Tiger Yama statue, they think of me."
This was the real reason why Yan Jing agreed to Fu Shudao's plan, and it was also something he desperately wanted to figure out.
"This ...... Maybe something will change? ”
Hearing Yan Jing's question, Fu Shudao asked with some hesitation.
All along, he had only acted according to the instructions given by the god of Li Huo, and this time the change was undoubtedly based on the original theory, but Yan Jing's problem was obviously out of line.
"How long will it take to activate the circle?"
Seeing that Fu Shudao didn't know anything, Yan Jing didn't ask any more.
Instead of blind guessing.
It's better to practice it once.
