Nexus through blood deeds.

Yan Jing sensed the transformation of the tiger firefly.

Long before the Great Expedition, Yan Jing completed the leap of life because of the successful arrangement of the Domain Sealing Gate in Immortal Palace City, as the other party of the blood contract, Hu Ying had already accumulated the energy of re-evolution at that time, and what he lacked was only an opportunity.

Although the oppression of the evil spirit put Hu Hotaru in a trap, it also broke the shackles and allowed it to successfully seize the opportunity in the struggle.

I am glad about this.

Yan Jing quickly realized that the battle situation on the floating island was likely to be much worse than expected.

The presence of the weird clan makes the monsters entrenched on the floating island no longer loose sand that can be tried and defeated.

They enslave monsters by some means, causing them to form a true beast tide and carry out their siege plans according to their arrangement.

Needless to say, it is dangerous.

If the insects had not been released in advance, the landing force would have suffered heavy losses as soon as it landed.

Fortunately, the transformation of the tiger firefly allowed the insect swarm to survive the most difficult period, and while stabilizing the situation, a large number of insect eggs began to hatch with the help of the flesh collected from the battlefield with the help of the fungus blanket.

Some of the insects whose functions are more logistical have even set up temporary hives in the woodland.

In the past, the construction of insect nests had to be carefully selected to ensure sufficient concealment and safety.

However, the current situation clearly does not allow for such a slow advance.

It won't be long before the monsters on the other islands of the outer line of defense arrive, and the landing force must have a strong enough defense force at that point, so efficiency comes first.

To put it bluntly.

Yan Jing is going to use the insect swarm as a meat shield to fight a war of attrition against the beast tide!

And only the swarm born for war is the most suitable for this task.

Of course, the preparation of Shen Qiong and the others is also quite important, after all, there are many defensive bases on the floating island.

On the premise that the insects attract frontal fire, the landing force is now rushing to various defensive forts for emergency repairs, and restore the defensive equipment in the forts as quickly as possible.

This is the only way for them to save their lives.

The expeditionary fleet has more important tasks to accomplish and can no longer continue to help.

"Venerable, news has come back from the front that the fleet has successfully broken through the outer defense line of the airport, and the road to the airport is close at hand."

Fu Shudao, who received the news, told Yan Jing as soon as possible.

"Keep the current speed, don't live up to the opportunity that Shen Qiong and they have won."

Putting the situation on the floating island behind for now, Yan Jing knew that now was not the time to think about it.

There is only one chance to retake the airport, if their side fails, the floating island is meaningless even if it is defended for a long time, and if they succeed here, then any sacrifice is worth it.

With this in mind, Yan Jing added,

"Adjust the deployment on the deck, the environment near the airport will only be worse than the floating island, so that the air combat troops are ready, and there will be a fierce battle waiting for them next!"

Shen Qiong and Shirley led a group of elite armored warriors and engineers to land on the floating island, which weakened the deck defenses of the two Sky Survey and Thunder dragon boats, and had to be redeployed to fill the holes in the defensive line.

As for Yan Jing's belief that the fierce battle that was about to occur came from the harsh environment outside the airport that he had discovered during his last reconnaissance.

At that time, relying on the tiger firefly to cross the gray mist belt, Yan Jing encountered many powerful evil spirits on the way, and judging from the current situation, even if the gray mist belt would separate some monsters to go to the floating island, the rest of them may not be easy to solve.

If the Sky Dragon Boat wants to retake the airport, it is necessary to break through the gray fog belt and collide head-on with the monsters lurking inside.

The expeditionary fleet swept over the floating island and made rapid progress towards the airport.

The outer line of defense is not far from the airport.

The expeditionary fleet, though huge, could be reached in fifteen minutes.

The only problem is that it's not smooth along the way.

The fall of the Floating Island attracted the attention of the evil spirits, and a large number of flying monsters began to reinforce the former.

For these monsters, bumping into the expeditionary fleet on the way, there is no option to detour at all, and they are all direct attacks.

At this stage of the Great Expedition, there is no talk of stealth, only the most difficult frontal confrontation.

The machine gun towers and turrets on both sides of the dragon boat were no longer stingy with shells at this time, pouring fire on the monsters that dared to approach.

As the leader of the expeditionary fleet.

Yan Jing never changed his position, still standing on the wall of the inner city.

It's just that I have an extra high-grade longbow on hand.

This is one of the pieces of equipment purchased in advance from inside the Torch Bazaar.

The longbow doesn't have any powerful special effects, but what Yan Jing likes is its built-in ability to track and kill from a distance.

As soon as a monster enters the range, an arrow condensed by dragon and tiger qi will immediately shoot out, shooting it in the air.

Of course, this point-kill ability is nothing compared to the sheer number of monsters.

In fact, Yan Jing didn't expect to rely on this method to bring much damage to the beast tide.

His goal is simple.

Make sure the warriors on deck can see themselves and know that the Flame Divine Envoy is fighting alongside them.

"Report Venerable, detect a sharp increase in the evil energy in the environment."

On one side of the wall, soldiers trotted up and reported loudly.

Yan Jing turned his head to look over, holding his bow in his hand.

The extreme deterioration of the environment near the airport has long been known to everyone, so what is there to report on in particular?

Fu Shudao was obviously equally confused, and walked a few steps forward to get the text of the data from the soldier's hand, his expression changed suddenly, and he reminded,

"Venerable, about five minutes ago, there was an explosive increase in the concentration of evil energy, especially in the direction of the airport."

"In the direction of the airport, that guy is doing a demon again?"

The expeditionary fleet is protected by the dragon and tiger Yama statue, and it will not be eroded by the evil energy, and now that this kind of thing is happening, in Yan Jing's opinion, there is only one possibility, the evil in the airport is carrying out some kind of ritual,

"How far are we from the airport?"

"There are less than ten kilometers left, and we are about to reach the vicinity of the gray fog belt on the outskirts of the airport."

Unfolding the map, Fu Shudao roughly estimated the current location of the expeditionary fleet, and spoke.

"Scatter the reconnaissance airships, monitor the vicinity of the fleet, all the combat airships take off, and guard around the fleet to guard against possible sneak attacks!"

Hearing that he was about to arrive in the gray mist belt, Yan Jing couldn't help frowning and said in a loud voice,

"The gray fog shrouded area outside the airport is extremely dangerous, it is the last barrier of the airport, only by breaking through it can we really get close to the airport, and the evil will definitely block us in this area."

The Grey Mist Belt was the only obstacle left between the expeditionary fleet and the airport, and the concentration of the evil energy suddenly increased, and Yan Jing couldn't help but suspect that something was wrong within the Grey Mist Belt.

In this case, ensuring the safety of the expeditionary fleet as it passes through the Grey Mist Belt becomes a top priority.

With the instruction given.

The battle airships docked on the deck of the dragon boat rose into the air one after another, and the orange-red tail flame was particularly eye-catching in the night.

In order to ensure safety, Yan Jing did not intend to let the combat airships break away from the fleet to fight, but let them take on more defensive tasks.

It's not that I feel that the quality of the air combat unit is not up to par, but the environment outside the fleet is too harsh, and the high concentration of evil energy will also cause varying degrees of erosion to the airship itself.

The fleet moved on.

While serving as an archer, Yan Jing left the city wall and came to the top of the watchtower on the deck of the dragon boat again.

His hunch turned out to be correct.

Just as the expeditionary fleet was about to reach the gray fog belt, in the dark sky in the distance, covered by a heavy rain curtain, a dark green fluorescence with a diameter of hundreds of meters suddenly surged up in the form of a mushroom cloud.

Yan Jing really didn't know enough about the methods of the evil cult, and the previous reconnaissance was only a short wait-and-see, and he didn't even see the main body.

However, this did not prevent him from using this light source to observe that the gray fog belt on the periphery of the airport was changing.

Due to the influx of a large amount of evil energy, the gray mist belt at this time had expanded several times compared to the one Yan Jing had seen last time when he reconnoitred, and now it merged into that dark green fluorescence, and the reaction was even more violent.

Standing on the top of the dragon boat watchtower and looking into the distance, the entire gray fog belt was as wild as a storm at sea in a short period of time, and the interior was mixed with dark green fluorescence, and you didn't need to think about it to know that it was not a good thing.

This is clearly a cult inside the airport performing some kind of ritual in an attempt to strengthen the gray fog belt.

That's all there is to it.

The real trouble was that at the same time that the gray fog belt was in an unusual shape, the storm that had been falling for two whole days quietly stopped.

Through [Deathcore: Doom], Yan Jing sensed anomalous fluctuations in the nearby space.

The longbow in his hand fell, not only Yan Jing, but everyone in the expeditionary fleet seemed to have a premonition of something, and suddenly looked up at the sky.

The dark green fluorescence diffuses and seeps into the cumulonus clouds that cover the night sky.

Suddenly, the rainstorm stopped, and the clouds dissipated.

Instead, there was a dark purple misty starry sky that had appeared countless times in the Shenzhou world.

Only this time people don't need to use observatories.

The whole starry sky became extraordinarily clear, but those who watched it only felt chaos, and a strong sense of oppression affected everyone's minds.

The stars twist at this moment.

Starlight transforms from intricate highlights to skewed lines.

There seems to be a terrifying being creeping in the obscure galaxy, guiding the starlight and condensing into a magic circle that has never been seen before.

The palm of the longbow tightened.

Others may still be confused by the scene in front of them, but Yan Jing has already guessed what the existence hidden in the starry sky is.

A terrifying evil wandering in another dimension!

It is trying to manipulate the starry sky, forcibly break the barriers of the Divine World, and create suitable conditions for its arrival.

The evil cult lurking in the airport chose to create a disturbance at this juncture, and now it seems that what they want is not only to strengthen the gray mist belt, but also to use this way to get in touch with the high-level evil in the other world, and want to use the latter's power to completely destroy the expeditionary fleet.

'Gotta intercept it!' ’

Looking at the increasingly chaotic starry sky, Yan Jing's heart sank.

With his current strength, it is not enough to face the high-level evil of the other dimension, and if he really allows the other party to open the passage to come, I am afraid that this great expedition will become an extravagant hope if it wants to continue.

Thankfully, the promise made by the torch was not meant to appease their lies.

Just as the chaos of the starry sky was deepening, another force intervened strongly.

The obscure galaxy instantly emitted a brilliant light, the distorted starlight was recorrected back to its original appearance, and the evil silhouette that creeped in the starry sky also dissipated.

Use the power of the origin of the Shenzhou world to forcibly intercept the arrival of high-level evil in another space.

This made Yan Jing breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also added a little confidence, and shouted towards Fu Shudao on the city tower,

"Onward! Speed up! ”

Yan Jing's voice woke everyone up like a dream, and the members of the fleet who had been affected by the starry sky mutation before learned that the situation had not deteriorated, and immediately calmed down and continued to implement the plan that had been made long ago.

The expeditionary fleet finally ran head-on into the gray fog.

No, it's time to say dark green storm areas.

Although it failed to lure the high-level evil to destroy the expeditionary fleet, the evil in the air port still succeeded in transforming the gray mist belt into a more threatening storm area, and the expeditionary fleet had to force its way through this area if it wanted to retake the air port.

If the expeditionary fleet chooses to temporarily stop to look for opportunities, it will be even more evil, and only wait for the gap in the outer defense line to be filled, and it will have time to use the beast tide to completely consume this last human fleet.

"Venerable, with the fleet's current protective measures, I'm afraid if you want to rush directly into the storm area."

Fu Shudao ran to Yan Jing, who had just jumped from the top of the watchtower, and said worriedly.

The Sky Dragon Boat can hold on to the harsh environment of the Divine World for so long, and its defensive capabilities are outstanding, but the storm full of evil energy in front of him is obviously beyond expectations.

The hull of the dragon boat may not be afraid and can be forcibly carried over, but the soldiers on the deck will face this level of storm damage, and nine times out of ten they will be directly overturned and forced to be involved in the storm.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, let the fleet be centered on the Sky Survey, shrink as much as possible, and not be too far apart from each other."

At a time like this, any hesitation could affect the outcome of the battle, and Yan Jing gave the order and went straight to the forward deck of the Sky Survey.

Although Fu Shudao didn't know how Yan Jing was going to shelter them, he still did not hesitate to support His Holiness's order, and hurriedly spread the news to all parts of the fleet.

So the fleet began to change abruptly in the last leg of its journey before the storm.

The Sky Survey slowed down, and the other six Sky Boats meticulously carried out Yan Jing's orders, occupying the front, back, left, right and six directions of the Sky Survey.

The gaps between the hulls are compressed to the extent that they can be decked against each other.

A violent storm struck, and the monster corpses scattered on the deck of the fleet were blown away one after another, and the armored soldiers were looking for a place to fix their bodies, while ordinary soldiers were forced to take shelter in the buildings on the foredeck.

Yan Jing stood alone on the bow of the Sky Survey.

The right hand is raised high, and a mysterious totem is raised.

Boundary!

With the totem as the center, the psionic barrier expands rapidly, enveloping the entire fleet.

With the repulsion of the dragon and tiger Yama statue against evil energy.

Yan Jing decisively unfolded the [Elemental Domain] special effect of the Realm.
