Chapter 176: An Opportunity for Salvation and Sect Growth
Outside the town of Prosperity, Luke says goodbye to the ruddy-faced, watery-eyed Ashley and sets off for Phoenix in Halpier.
"Wanhua Mirror" originally had three days to activate the next response, but after he used his shuttle ability to come to Prosperity Town, it seemed that due to energy consumption issues, this time was postponed for half a day.
Therefore, Luke decided to use Halpiere as much as possible for daily travel without being in a hurry.
Halfway through the flight, he suddenly found that in the opposite direction, far away, there was a scene of yellow sand, like a sandstorm.
But the dense and orderly yellow particles looked a little out of place, a little different from Luke's impression of the sandstorm.
Luke was squinting and looking closely, when he suddenly noticed a slight change in the direction of the "sandstorm", flying directly opposite Luke.
He looked ahead and saw that it was the Phoenix airport, and a large passenger plane had just taken off and had just finished pulling upward.
Seeing this, Luke stomped his right foot, and Halpierre turned around in understanding, increased the frequency of his wings, and accelerated towards the airliner.
But Luke was so far away from the two sides that even with Halpier's speed, he didn't have time to reach before the two sides met.
Halfway through, Luke had already discovered the true face of the "sandstorm", which turned out to be a large group of dense black and yellow locusts, which gathered together to cover the sky and the sun, and looked stronger than ordinary sandstorms.
On the plane, the captain also saw the locusts rushing in his face, but the control of the plane was very cumbersome, and he couldn't turn around quickly like a small bird or beast.
The first few scattered locusts slammed into the glass of the front cabin of the plane, turning into a puddle of-green slime, and then more locusts rained down.
It doesn't matter, after all, locusts are really fragile under the crystallization of human industrial technology.
But soon, a large number of locusts were swept into the engines on the wings, and two flames bloomed on both sides of the fuselage, and the plane instantly lost power and fell diagonally in the locust cloud.
At this point, Luke finally piloted Halpierre to the side of the plane.
The plane that lost power fell weakly, and the passengers in the cabin were also crying for help in a panic, and it would not be long before the plane crashed, and none of the people on the plane were spared.
Looking at the children in the cabin who didn't understand what was going on, but were crying together in the desperate wails of the adults, Luke's mind was churning, forcing himself to calm down and think about how to save the crowd.
Time was of the essence, and he made a decision in an instant.
At this time, someone in the cabin had already noticed Luke on one side, although they didn't know if Luke could help, but they still clung to this last straw, and frantically prayed for help as if they had met God.
With a stretch of his right hand, the glittering Wanhua mirror inadvertently appeared, and then a flock of crows shuttled out of the mirror, and flew directly through the oval window of the cabin and into the cabin.
At the same time, an enhanced voice transmitted by Luke's spiritual energy also sounded in the cabin: "Save the child first." ”
The crows worked in groups of four or five, locked onto the six children in the cabin, and flew to them.
Luke's crow is different from the crow guard that Ashley has cultivated, similar to the difference between a mage and a warrior, so the Dreaded Raven is less powerful, and it takes four or five to work together to lift a child.
As soon as the words were spoken, the crows nimbly pressed the buckle of their seat belts, grabbed their clothes with a few pairs of sharp claws, and lifted them up with all their might, and flew towards the cabin window.
Even under the threat of death, the passengers fell silent at the sight of this shocking scene, and through Luke's words, they knew that it was rescuing the children.
Although they can't tell the truth from the fake, they have no other choice but to believe it at this time.
The first child was taken by the crows to the window and crashed into them as they did.
The moment they touched the window, they strangely disappeared together, and then appeared on Halpier's back.
Several parents of the children who were paying close attention saw that Luke was really capable of saving these children, and smiled with relief, after ensuring that the children could be saved, the danger to their lives at this time did not seem so terrifying.
The next few children were dragged by the crows and transferred in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, a discordant voice appeared, and a middle-aged white man with gold-rimmed glasses who looked similar to the financial elite of Wall Street suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Save me first, I can give you a million, no, two million!" Save me! ”
As he spoke, he reached for the second-to-last child and tried to pull her down.
When the girl's father saw this, his eyes instantly turned red, like a bull in extreme anger, ignoring the bumpy plane, he was about to unbuckle his seat belt and rush over to stop him.
However, before he could get up, a little orange-red light appeared from the window, and then, like a laser, a ray passed through the financial man's brain, just right to go out after passing through the skin on the other side.
"Anyone else wants to try it?"
Luke's indifferent voice resounded in the cabin.
It's true that he wants to save people, but there is no need to save them all, kill one or two to deter people's hearts and make the rest of them more cooperative, which is obviously a profitable deal.
Anyway, fate is not Luke's, he has zero cost.
With the financial man falling to the ground, the quality of the passengers in the cabin has improved significantly, and in a matter of seconds, several children have all been on Halpier's back.
Now that the children have been saved, the second step of the somewhat adventurous plan can be carried out.
Luke put a telekinesis shield on Halpier's back to ensure that the children did not fall, and left the back of the bird and beast, and came to the fuselage of the plane with a [shapeshift], and attached himself tightly with telekinesis, and by the way, put a streamlined shield on himself to reduce wind resistance.
At this time, more than two minutes have passed since the engine damage of the aircraft, and the plane has fallen to half of the altitude, and as the altitude decreases, the potential energy of gliding becomes weaker and weaker, and it begins to show a tendency to dive down.
Luke's mental power spread around, constantly judging the direction of the force of the plane's fall, and the mental power naturally spread to the entire fuselage, condensing into another pair of wings at the right position, and constantly adjusting the angle to help the plane continue to maintain a relatively straight taxiing trajectory.
But even so, the plane's descent has only slowed down a little, and it is still moving closer to the ground in an inevitable trend.
After a few minutes, the houses and trees on the ground were already visible to the naked eye.
In the cabin, after experiencing the extraordinary encounter just now, the passengers' attention was diverted for a while, and at this time, most of them calmed down, clasped their hands together and prayed silently.
As the plane's altitude became lower and lower, the effect of Luke's telekinesis wings became worse and worse, and with the captain's best control, the plane came to a slightly flat farmland sky.
At this point, the plane was less than twenty meters above the ground and was about to crash in a matter of seconds.
A couple held each other's hands in despair, not expecting that a pleasant family trip would become the last journey of their lives.
Fortunately, their daughter has been rescued by the transcendent who suddenly appeared, and thinking of this, the husband and wife are surprisingly calm.
The plane was less than ten meters above the ground.
Luke jerked his telekinesis back, then concentrated all of his telekinesis to form an aircushion-like structure in the lower part of the plane's cabin.
The weight of the aircraft, including the load of passengers and cargo, adds up to more than 200 tons.
Such a mass glides and dives to the ground with extremely high inertia, even if the captain tries his best to maneuver and make the plane relatively stable, but the impact force is also ridiculously strong, in some worlds where hundreds of thousands of pounds of fist power can shatter space, this impact can destroy that world four or five times.
"Bang"
The aircraft is in contact with the ground.
No.
It would be more accurate to say that Luke's telepathy was in contact with the ground.
Under such a huge impact, Luke's head ached, and a red nosebleed instantly flowed out of his nostrils, and the telekinesis shield was full of ripple-like ripples, almost shattering directly.
Fortunately, during his last trip to the Wanhua Mirror, he obtained a new effect "Iron Wall" from Drum, and the telekinetic shield received an additional tenacity bonus, which made it difficult to survive.
After a period of violent sinking, the fuselage of the plane began to shake violently, making a tooth-aching sound of metal twisting and deformation, but barely held steady under the cushion of the telekinetic shield.
After gliding slowly for a few meters, Luke removed his telekinesis shield, and the fuselage of the plane swayed, settling down a few seconds later, and came to a stop on the farmland.
Couples who have done a good job of psychological construction and calmly face death will hug each other and cry under the emotions of the rest of their lives. The same is true of other passengers, crying, bowing their heads in prayer, and stunned in place, dozens of people show all kinds of human beings.
The flight attendants quickly opened the emergency lane, organized the passengers to leave the plane in an orderly manner, and several children also slid off the back of Halpierre and ran to their parents on their short legs.
They didn't have any idea about the plane crash, and with the freshness of flying in the sky on a huge bird and beast just now, they were not only not panicked and scared, but were very excited.
Especially a bear doll, Halpierre has landed, and is reluctant to go down, and has been lying on its back, it seems that the parents don't want it anymore, just a cool big bird.
A couple of crows drove him down by the neck, and he even tried to run back to Harpier. Then he was gently swept by the wings of the big bird and fell into a fart squat.
The self-deprecating bear doll pursed her lips, and then reluctantly walked to her parents who couldn't cry or laugh.
Although he saved these people, Luke didn't bother to go down and communicate with them, and for him, other people's gratitude was more difficult to deal with than the fierce gods.
After all, it is enough to dare to jump in front of the face BB and slap it down directly, but this kind of crying and thanksgiving scene is really embarrassing and helpless.
Halpier flapped his wings under Luke's command and carried him slowly to Phoenix, where the locusts were so abnormal that Luke decided to go and see them.
Although he looked miserable just now, in the final analysis, it was just that the mental output was too large, a little overloaded, and it was enough to recover on the way that Halpier slowly flew over.
Watching the life-saving benefactor fly away without saying a word, the surviving passengers looked at each other, and they didn't even know who had saved them.
At this time, a child suddenly said, "That brother is a messenger of a god named 'Golden Crow', and he told me just now. ”
"Golden Crow"
People remember this title of god to death.
An elderly man who looked kind stepped forward, waved his arms a few times, and shouted, "Hey, everyone, listen to me." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he continued: "The messenger of the 'Golden Crow' has saved our lives, and we will talk about the matter of gratitude later, but there is still one more thing that we will deal with for the divine envoy. ”
He pointed to the cabin, where the body of the financial man was still there.
Although the Divine Envoy may not care, we ourselves need to consciously eliminate the small problems that follow-up for Him. What should I do with that corpse? ”
Another young man who looked polite said: "The plane crashed, there are so many of us who survived, it is normal for one to die, I think he just didn't listen to the flight attendant, didn't fasten his seat belt, and died when the plane was turbulent." ”
Others nodded their heads and said that it was true, and that it was the truth that we had seen with our own eyes.
A lawyer interjected: "But the wound on his head doesn't look like it was caused by an accidental impact, and we have to find a way to disguise it." ”
A strong man with tattoos on his entire arm said in a muffled voice: "I'll deal with it, I'm a professional." ”
After speaking, his eyes widened, and he glanced at the people present, "Pick up traitors, I'm also a professional." ”
The problem of the corpse was solved, and the people present experienced life and death together, were saved by the messenger of the gods, and did another "bad thing" together, and the psychological distance was quickly shortened.
The old man who stood up at the beginning continued: "God sent a messenger to save our lives, I want to return to Phoenix to find His sect and take refuge under his wing, I don't know if you are interested in being together." ”
The crowd was quiet for a short time and then there was a lot of noise, and most of them agreed, except for an elderly couple, who discussed for a long time, and after the people had expressed their opinions, the husband said: "Although we are very grateful for the salvation of the Golden Crow, we have been Christians for decades, and we are very sorry, we cannot turn our backs on the glory of God." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were gradually becoming a little unkind, he hurriedly added: "But I will never betray everyone, tell me today's events, and swear in the name of God." ”
The old lady also drew a cross on her chest to indicate that she had also sworn an oath.
At this time, the captain also stood up and said: "Faith itself is a very private matter, even if they don't take refuge in the 'Golden Crow' god, they are still full of respect and gratitude to God, aren't they?" ”
The old couple nodded again and again.
The passengers came out of the collective thinking just now and agreed with the captain's words, and the atmosphere in the field was relieved.
Subsequently, they began to introduce themselves and get to know each other.
Among the sixty or seventy people, there are blind lawyers, gangsters who have changed their minds, soldiers who have lost their jobs at home after retirement, taxi drivers who transport dangerous goods, and so on, and of course, many more ordinary workers.
When all was said and done, the people supported each other, leaving the wrecked plane and the disposed bodies on it in place and walking towards the nearest town.
