inside the house.

The candlelight of the seven-star lamp dispels the darkness.

The girl Aruo held a clean silk cloth, dipped it in water and carefully wiped the magic circle in the house, her delicate ears quietly perking up.

Behind her, the discussion between Yan Jing and Fu Shudao has reached a critical stage.

As she is still just an apprentice, she is not qualified to participate, but this does not prevent her from observing.

Taoist Master Fu took her with him wherever he went during this period, hoping to pass on the legacy in this way.

"I can stay for two more days. According to the instructions of God Li Huo, I must go to recover the observation station tomorrow. Only by recovering it can I complete my mission and be able to return safely."

Yan Jing straightened up, paused, and gave his answer solemnly,

"If the operation goes well, it might not be a bad idea to go to the lighthouse afterward."

Fu Shudao's plan is currently only theoretical. No one knows whether the observation station can be successfully recovered tomorrow, let alone the current condition of the long-abandoned lighthouse.

After all, this plan was only thought of by Fu Shudao, and it is unknown to what extent it can be implemented.

No matter what, Yan Jing must prioritize completing the main mission.

Dongdong~

A knock on the door interrupted their discussion.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Priest, the concentration of chaotic energy in the deck area has been detected, and the situation is worse than expected."

Shen Qiong's voice sounded outside the door.

The two people in the room looked at each other and walked quickly towards the door.

After pushing the door open and going out, he saw Shen Qiong holding a square array of mechanical measuring instruments. Yan Jing took two steps forward to check.

In the central area of ​​the measuring instrument, there were several glass columns filled with special liquids. There were scale marks on the left and right. Yan Jing noticed that none of the liquid in this row of glass columns was at a low level.

"It's one-third higher than last night... How did this happen? Have you checked the area around the Sky Survey?"

Fu Shudao pointed at one of the scales, looked at Shen Qiong and asked with a solemn expression.

You must know that the Winged Snakes surrounded the Sky Survey last night and once forced Shen Qiong and others into a desperate situation. The chaos energy concentration at that time was only two-thirds of what it is now!

"I have sent people up to the watchtower. I have also checked the surrounding area just now. There is no sign of Chaos monster activity. Generally speaking, if there is a Chaos monster that can arouse chaotic energy on this scale, we should have noticed it long ago."

Looking around at the deep night surrounding the Sky Survey, the meaning behind Shen Qiong's words was very clear.

Since there are no Chaos monsters approaching, there is only one possibility left. It is very likely that somewhere in the world of China will once again be invaded by Chaos on a large scale.

This conclusion made several people's faces darken in unison.

Just at this moment, news came from the team members on the watchtower,

"Captain, look above your head!"

Several people looked up to the sky in unison.

The night sky, which should have been shrouded in pitch black night, suddenly became filled with a large blue-purple halo.

Upon closer inspection, it was not the light emanating from the starry sky, but a kind of light that was difficult to describe in words, as if there was something crawling through the starry sky, casting a terrifying light and shadow.

Suddenly, there seemed to be countless tentacles curling and stretching in the night sky.

The sky of the Chinese world is only a small area that it has set foot on.

Even if it was just a brief glimpse, everyone on the deck still fell into silence, and a headache like needles appeared in their minds.

Even Yan Jing, who was protected by the dragon and tiger Yama statues, felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

This immediately reminded him of the observatory that Nanke and Torch valued particularly highly.

Could it be said that those observation stations specially set up all over the world of China are to observe such terrifying existences?

Or are there other horrors sleeping among the stars?

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw heavy-hearted expressions on each other's faces.

Although the world of China has fallen, the invasion of Chaos has become more and more intense.

...

This night.

Most of the people on board the Xiantian slept peacefully for the first time in a long time.

The problems that had plagued Xiantian in the past seemed to have been solved with the arrival of Yan Jing.

Now that he is in charge again, the boat people's tense spirits finally have time to rest.

On the other hand, the senior officials of Xiantian were on tenterhooks all night long.

Although the abnormal halo that suddenly appeared in the sky late at night did not pose a threat to the Sky Survey, the crisis behind it made people have to respond with 120,000 points.

Several people gathered together to discuss for a while, and soon reached a consensus that the observation station must be captured as soon as possible to buy time to recapture the lighthouse.

In fact, in addition to the functions mentioned by Fu Shudao, the lighthouse itself is also a transfer station for connecting with other dragon boats. Facing the upcoming crisis, hugging together for warmth is undoubtedly a good way to deal with it.

"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"

It is precisely because of this that when the sky becomes brighter, the Sky Survey will rely on the source blood it has just collected to provide energy and move forward at full speed.

The factory at the front of the deck was opened again after many years.

The lights suddenly brightened.

An adequate supply of source blood has allowed many equipment that had been mothballed for many years to be reactivated.

The flatbed truck pushing the goods back and forth, the wheels making a "gurgling" sound as it ran over the ground, various materials were taken out from the warehouse and processed on site.

Several collection ships were transported to the platform for pre-war modification and maintenance. Well-equipped staff shuttled among them, holding various tools to remove some unnecessary collection equipment and replace them with combat equipment.

People were talking about how to carry out the next phase of operations, and where the Xiantian could be modified. Occasionally, the debates were particularly lively, like those splashing sparks, and the fiery atmosphere dispelled the cold morning.

Compared with the silence in the mornings in the past, although this state is noisy, it also gives people a sense of strength from the inside out.

The days of standing still or even going backwards seem to be gone forever in this uplifting scene.

A scroll is spread out on a table in the central area of ​​the factory.

Yan Jing and others sat down around the table.

The design drawing of the observatory is presented to everyone.

"The appearance of this observatory is a bit unexpected."

Looking at the appearance of the observation station on the design drawing, Yan Jing said in surprise.

In his expectation, since the role of the observatory is to observe stars, the appearance is somewhat similar to modern observatories. The spherical platform and huge telescope seem to be standard equipment.

However, the observatory in China World was completely different from what he had imagined.

From the appearance alone, it looks more like a planet. The overall shape is spherical, suspended in mid-air. There are several orbits in the surrounding area. Looking at the data on the design diagram, these orbits seem to be able to rotate continuously.

"Since the invasion of Chaos, if we want to observe the sky, ordinary methods cannot achieve the desired results. This design was also given to us by God Li Huo through the envoy. I don't know what it will look like now.

."

Fu Shudao raised his hand and brushed over the design drawing, recalling the scene when he used the observation station, and said with emotion.

"Today's battle will determine the future of the Xiantian, whether we advance or retreat!"

Zhao Henian stood up, put his hands on the scroll, and said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
