Chapter 33: The Sky

The recapture of the airport is only the beginning of a new era.

An impromptu meeting in front of the lighthouse sets the direction of the airport's next steps.

In order to better distinguish the location, the airport will be officially renamed Qingkong City from now on.

The original name returned to its original meaning, referring to the giant harbors on both sides of the city, arching empty dragon boats and large and small ships docking.

After a short break, the expeditionary fleet ......

No, now it should be said that the Sky City fleet immediately threw itself into action with full enthusiasm.

The repair work of the city was in full swing, and the materials brought by Yan Jing in advance came in handy again, and a large number of building materials, energy, and equipment may not be of much help in the expedition, but they are indispensable resources in the construction work.

The importance of Kunpeng space is unquestionable.

In this process, the construction of the domain gate has become the top priority, and nearly 10,000 people and even combat troops have been put into the front-line construction work, and the intensity of the work has reached the level of almost 24-hour shifts, day and night.

Even so, there are no complaints from the public.

Regarding the role of the domain gate, the top of the fleet has already carried out propaganda.

Everyone knows that it is the security of the future of Sky City, and if it can be successfully established, Sky City will become a true fortress of doom, and they will also have a safe home.

In order to achieve this goal, the people who have already suffered from the outside will not have any complaints.

What's more, their food and clothing are now provided by the government, and there is a safe living environment, which for many people is already a fairy day that only existed in sweet dreams in the past.

Busy days always go by very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a week had passed since the end of the Great Expedition.

The outer defense line in the southeast of Qingkong City.

Floating Island 07 is undergoing the final round of sweeps from the fleet.

Several airships hovered over the jungle in a specific trajectory, projecting flares of different colors from time to time.

Red indicates the presence of low-level evil or ferocious beasts in the target area, and then a heavily armed combat team will descend to lead the swarm of insects that have been waiting in the woodland to strike at the target and completely eliminate it.

The blue color indicates that there is a specific resource in the target area, and the recorder standing on the top of the airship will immediately figure out the type of resource through the telescope and record it in preparation for subsequent development.

Green indicates that the target area has some facilities that have been built by humans, whether they are forts or civilian facilities.

The latter two areas are particularly special because for the time being, Sky City will not have too many people to station, let alone repair and develop, but that doesn't mean they will be abandoned.

Yan Jing sat on the edge of the top platform of the airship, Hu Ying tearing at the prey he had just preyed on, while he was paying attention to the surrounding situation and cleaning up those monsters that might be tricky as soon as possible.

In order to pass the time, while testing the abilities that you have just acquired.

Soon, Yan Jing noticed that several ships with a larger scale than airships and exceptionally old models appeared in the northeast of Floating Island 07, slowly approaching, and when they got closer, they would take the first step to signal their identities.

Immigrants from large settlements.

The resource area mentioned above, the fortress area is for them.

After a week of fermentation, the news of the expeditionary fleet's victory had spread to all the areas that could be covered by the signal.

Things are developing just as Yan Jing and the others thought.

The settlements that had chosen to wait and see because they were worried about danger or because they were too far away to come, while regretting not being able to participate in the Great Expedition, expressed their willingness to join Sky City as quickly as possible and make efforts to build a new home.

This time, they didn't need anyone to rush them, and they took the initiative to start the migration.

There is no way, even if the high-level leaders of these settlements are still a little cautious, the people in their settlements will not be obedient at all.

To put it bluntly.

Even if they don't want to, the capable people below will immediately defect to Sky City.

After all, under the premise that the world environment in China is getting worse and worse.

Without the cover of the Sky Dragon Boat, a single dark disaster would be enough to wipe them out.

Anyone with a bit of brains will make the right choice between the Sky City, which is blessed by the Divine Envoy of Lihuo, and the settlement, which may collapse at any time.

Of course, it is a fact that they did not participate in the Great Expedition.

Therefore, after discussion with the top management of Sky City, it was decided to place these people on the floating islands of the various outer defense lines first, and the fleet would clear them of the dangers on the islands.

Correspondingly, in return, these settlements must help Sky City repair its defenses, develop resources, and act as a barrier for the latter to the outside world, until they can prove their worth before they can truly settle in Sky City.

There was no objection to this settlement, and they did not dare to object.

The fact that the expeditionary fleet was able to overturn the terrifying evil and its beast tide army that had entrenched the airport for many years was enough to prove its strength.

Not to mention the legendary Venerable Yan in charge.

At this time, the outer defense line was much better than the floating island where they originally lived.

Not to mention the backing of Sky City, there are also a large number of resources and fortresses to provide their daily life, so that the people of the settlement also have a vision to pursue a better life.

Don't underestimate that hope.

For the survivors of the apocalypse, this is the most important motivation to keep them alive.

"Venerable, an anomalous energy reaction has been detected in the valley ahead...... Fierce beasts, fierce beasts are ambushing the settlement fleet!"

Just as Yan Jing was enjoying the refreshing morning breeze, the recorder beside him suddenly exclaimed.

"Lean in."

Raising his eyes to look at the valley in the distance, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and commanded.

In the valley, the ground suddenly collapsed on a large scale, and a giant centipede with a body length of hundreds of meters climbed up along the mountain wall, raised its upper body, and opened its hideous mouthparts full of fangs like a poisonous snake, and a yellow-green fog gathered in its mouth.

The convoy of settlements flying near the valley was suddenly in disarray, and they obviously did not expect to be attacked at such a time.

In a hurry, he sent a distress signal to the airship patrolling nearby.

Yan Jing put away the juice in his hand.

Standing on the edge of the airship, he raised his arms and pointed at the mountains on both sides of the valley, and a wisp of soul fire flew out from his fingertips.

In an instant, the dark cyan tornado condensed out of thin air, and in the next second, it transformed into elemental life, directly enveloping the middle of the centipede, cutting into several pieces of the body and splitting into the air.

The settlement fleet on the other side not only did not feel relieved when they saw the elemental monster that suddenly strangled the centipede, but they became even more confused, until the airship on this side sent a message and learned that it was a divine envoy who made a move.

Immediately, he hurriedly posted it, wanting to thank Yan Jing in person, but he directly refused.

Dispersing the storm with his hand, Yan Jing lowered his eyes to look at the blue soul fire burning at his fingertips, and the lotus mark at the center of his eyebrows loomed.

Even though he had done several tests, Yan Jing was still shocked by the completely evolved Deathcore Doom.

Now that this Legendary Ascension-level item no longer exists in the form of a polyhedron, it has transformed into a soul fire that has merged with Yan Jing's soul, and the outer symbol is the dark blue lotus mark in the center of the eyebrows.

In the previous decisive battle with the evil spirit, Yan Jing's attention was focused on how to destroy the evil spirit, and only in the last few days of free time did he have the opportunity to understand the true power of this item.

I have to admit that the strength of the props that can rank the Legend Ascension level alongside the Dragon Tiger Yama Statue is really exaggerated.

Originally, the armor of the [Going to the Dead], which was most valued by Yan Jing, had undergone a qualitative change, and the [Greed and Hatred] and [Taiyin Autopsy Transformation Basket] had been strengthened to varying degrees.

What surprised Yan Jing was its last special effect.

[Creation]!

After several attempts, Yan Jing felt more and more that this special effect was simply a replica of the evil core ability in the cave.

As long as he has enough energy to support him, he can easily create all kinds of powerful elemental creatures, such as the mountain giants who suppressed the evil at that time and the storm that saved the settlement fleet just now.

It may be difficult for others to make better use of this ability, as large-scale energy mobilization is not an easy task.

However, Yan Jing is the inheritor of the Tiger Jiao's relics, and the most important thing is the ability to control the elements.

Not to mention anything else, if he returned to the present world now, the water elemental giants alone would be able to make three or five by beckoning.

One man in the truest sense of the word!

In addition to these changes, what Yan Jing cares about the most is the Dragon and Tiger Yama Statue.

With the help of the edict of King Yama, he was integrated with the statue of Dragon and Tiger Yama to a certain extent, and the successful arrangement of the Immortal Palace City Sealing Gate made him transform.

Yan Jing originally thought that the Dragon and Tiger Yama Statue wanted to go further, and he would have to wait until he finished arranging the Sealing Gate in this life, and collected a massive amount of faith power as the Sword Immortal Luo Yan.

Unexpectedly, the evolution of the Deadcore Doom caused the Dragon Tiger Yama Statue to change again.

The Death Core that was integrated into the soul was actually the Dragon Tiger Yama statue that also manifested in Yan Jing's body.

Through internal vision, Yan Jing could clearly see that the robe of the Dragon Tiger Yama Daojun had been transformed into the Xuan'ao robe of the deceased, his eyes were dyed with a faint blue luster, and there was a lotus mark on the center of his eyebrows.

If in the past, Deathcore Doom was just a prop or a foreign object in Yan Jing's hands, then now it has become a symbiotic existence with Yan Jing like the dragon and tiger Yama statue.

Two distinct forces were merging in Yan Jing's body.

This made Yan Jing inevitably have a strong premonition that one day he would be able to merge these two forces.

That will be the perfect opportunity for him to really break through the shackles!

Sweep the last floating island with ease and remove all potential dangers.

After completing the task, Yan Jing chose to return to Qingkong City after watching the scene of the settlement fleet camping on the spot for a while.

The construction of the Domain Gate was in the final stage, and he, the divine envoy, naturally had to take care of it himself.

Yan Jing was glad that he had communicated with the fleet through the Dragon Tiger Yama Statue before he came to the Divine World, so that they could prepare in advance, at least they didn't have to spend any more time creating or carving special idols.

It is different from the layout of Asgard Castle.

Due to the small scale of Sky City itself, there are no special buildings like the "Heavenly Court".

The core ritual circle construction site that Yan Jing finally chose was simply the temple where the god of Li Huo used to be enshrined in Sky City.

In fact, Yan Jing originally thought of using the lighthouse as the core area of the Sealing Gate Circle, but after inquiring, he learned that there were similar buildings in the Sky City, and the scale was larger, and the ritual circle inside was also more perfect.

So he immediately sent a professional team to repair the temple.

It was obviously impossible to restore the temple to its original state in the short term, and Yan Jing's request was simple, striving to complete the repair of the core part of the temple within a week.

As long as you can place the idol with the built-in Domain Sealing Gate Circle, it will be considered a success.
