In the dark night of the desert, there was a dazzling light.
The five-kilometer-long ship was still moving forward rapidly. It was less than a hundred meters away from the ground. The sand on the ground was stirred up by the strong airflow.
Amidst the flying sand, the flickering light was not obscured. Countless crystals accompanied by a crystalline radiance followed closely behind the two sides of the ship.
Like a group of moths gathering near a fire, the crystals targeted the ship and crashed into it three times, causing loud explosions.
The shaking ship emitted scorched smoke. Every time it exploded, it would lower its altitude. Moreover, there was nothing to stop these crystals.
The reapers that were flying around the ship had now risen to a higher altitude. They were about to face a huge opponent.
It was a huge island flying in the sky.
The island flew faster than the ship. When it faced the reapers, it didn't slow down. Instead, it sped up. It seemed to want to use its huge body to knock the reapers away.
However, when the target approached, dozens of reapers suddenly accelerated. They split into two groups and flew to the two sides of the cloud sea. Their silver wings swept across the outer layer of the cloud island at the same time. The clouds on both sides of the island flew into the sky as if they were cut open.
The reapers gathered behind the cloud island. They turned around and flew into the sky together. Then, they swooped down towards the cloud island.
"Beep!" Tiny rays of light shot out from the cloud island. They formed hundreds of streaks of light in the night sky, but they didn't hit any targets.
The reapers changed their flying positions before the rays of light shot out. Now, every reaper continued to fly through the gaps between the rays of light. When the rays of light disappeared, they flew to the cloud island.
As expected, they had used up too much energy. Now, they could only shoot out a few tiny rays of light.
The reapers spread out the moment they got close to the cloud island. Dozens of sharp silver wings cut open a large number of cracks in the clouds above the island. A few reapers behind them rushed into the cracks created by the reapers in front of them.
The sharp wings and powerful impact instantly tore open the clouds above the island and crashed into the inner part of the island.
"Boom!"
The roar that reverberated in the sky caused the island to shake. The entire island tilted, and at the same time, its flight direction also changed to the right.
The Reapers also followed the island. It seemed that they had just blown it off course, but it still maintained its speed and adjusted back.
However, it was already heavily injured. This time, he would be able to completely defeat it.
Meanwhile, on the other side …
Unlike the large number of troops fighting on the island, only a small number of troops had entered the ship. They were advancing rapidly with Muketu as their target.
Inside the ship, ten pompoms quickly floated in the destroyed passage, following Moketu's message. They rushed toward their target as fast as they could.
Although they couldn't see the crystals outside, they could still clearly feel the damage they caused. Everything here … was on the verge of collapse.
Boom … Due to the impact of the explosion, the ship would occasionally tremble, and a large amount of debris would fall from the top of the tunnel. The lighting in the tunnel had long been disabled. The entire ship was in a state of darkness.
The pompoms could still see their surroundings clearly. In front of the pompoms, a pile of broken things blocked their way.
The pompoms didn't hesitate, and one of them directly rushed over. With a loud boom, a tunnel was blasted open in the pile of broken things, and the other pompoms immediately flew over.
Room after room filled with broken things retreated from both sides of their vision. Lin felt that the brainwaves here had become stronger, and the tunnel was wider than before. After passing through a door, a vast square appeared in front of Lin.
Now, the pompoms had arrived at the level where Muketu was. The whole square was scattered with a mixture of insect corpses and fragments of golden structures, as well as some fragments of crystallized structures. Lin and the Inca swarm had been here before, but they didn't notice that Muketu was here at all.
Sensing the brainwaves, the pompoms floated to the center of the square where the fragments were piled up. Looking at the large pile of fragments below, Lin felt that as long as she dug through it, she would be able to see the target.
"Beep!"
A ray of light instantly illuminated the dark space.
Lin felt that one of the pompoms was penetrated by an extremely high temperature, and it fell from the air to the ground. The moment the ray of light appeared, Lin saw the thing that emitted the ray of light …
It was a crystallized structure attached to the top of the hall. Its shape was like a spider, with a huge body of more than ten meters. Its head was embedded with eight blue crystals that looked like eyes, and it was using these eyes to 'stare' at them.
When they came in, the pompoms had already seen the crystallized spider. At that time, Lin didn't think that it would move …
Another strange thing was … this was the first time Lin had seen an insect-shaped crystallized structure on the ship.
Boom … The ship suddenly shook due to the explosion, and the crystallized spider attached to it jumped down. Its huge body landed on the ground with a loud bang, and as the surrounding fragments scattered, several rays of light shot out from the spider's head.
The scorching light illuminated the hall, leaving marks on the surrounding ground and scorched marks on the pompoms' fur.
This thing … seemed to be guarding Muketu? Lin saw that most of the crystallized structures on the ship were immobilized, even if they weren't damaged. Lin thought that Muketu had completely lost control over them.
However, it seemed that this one could still move. If that was the case …
Whoosh!
Just as Lin was thinking, a sound entered the pompoms' ears.
A silver spear rapidly cut through the air and pierced the crystallized spider's head. The powerful impact directly penetrated the crystallized shell. The crystallized spider struggled on the ground for a moment, then its ten crystallized limbs fell limp, and its huge body crashed to the ground at the same time.
This was …
This spear was the kind of spear used by the Skeletal Dragon, but the creature that shot the spear was not the Skeletal Dragon.
Although its body was exactly the same as the Skeletal Dragon, it was gray … This was a Skeletal Dragon.
This Skeletal Dragon stood in front of the entrance under the wall not far away, holding a glowing object in one hand and making a spear throwing gesture with the other.
In fact, it wasn't strange that a Skeletal Dragon would be here, because this ship had captured many creatures, including Emerald Dragons and Skeletal Dragons.
However, it was still alive, and used the Skeletal Dragon's spear to pierce through the crystallized spider, which was a very strange thing.
"Pompoms …?" The Skeletal Dragon shone the light in its hand around and suddenly found a pompoms near the spider. It immediately exclaimed, "Could it be that I've been saved … Gah!"
The Skeletal Dragon suddenly rushed over excitedly and crouched in front of the pompoms. Lin could feel its extreme excitement.
"I've always been accompanied by darkness, and those monsters have always been trying to invade my heart …"
Skeleton Dragon seemed to be complaining about everything that had happened to it. Lin discovered that it was indeed captured and brought here, and was forced to teach a lot of things by them.
Most of them were to make it believe in the "creator," but there seemed to be some useful things, such as how to use various equipment of the Skeletal Dragon. That was why it knew how to throw the spear just now.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise caused the entire hall to tilt to one side. The complaining Skeletal Dragon and a lot of debris in the hall rolled to the side at the same time.
The bombing outside was still going on, and the ship was flying at an altitude of nearly 50 meters. If one were to observe from the outside, they would think that the giant ship was almost touching the desert below.
But because of the explosion, after the debris piled up in the middle rolled away, Lin saw a circular passage.
It seemed to be a door-like structure. Perhaps because Moketu's control had failed, the pompoms immediately flew into the passage.
"Gah! Pompoms! Wait for me! " The Skeletal Dragon, who had climbed out of the pile of debris, immediately chased after it and jumped into the hole behind the pompoms.
"Gah!" This was a vertical passage. As soon as the Skeletal Dragon jumped in, it immediately fell down and fell heavily to the ground. The pompoms flew in behind it.
What appeared in front of the pompoms was another empty room.
This time, Lin saw the target she was looking for. Moketu was on a high platform in the center of the room. There was nothing around him, but he seemed to be fixed on the platform, motionless.
Here, Lin could feel its emotions. It was still alive.
However, other than Moketu, there seemed to be another strange thing in this room.
A silver spider was standing next to Moketu's platform.
To be precise, it was a spider made of alloy. Lin was quite familiar with its appearance …
But when did it come up here? During this process, the imam should not have had any chance to come up. Besides, Lin did not see it come up.
Because … the imam was still in the hole from before, with a large group of Skeletal Dragons …
Could it be that this alloy spider was not his? Lin did not feel any emotions from it. Perhaps it was not riding on anything …
However, it was exactly the same as the alloy spider that the imam was sitting on, whether it was the size, the color, or even the details.
This alloy spider was right next to Moketu's platform. Its two pairs of appendages stretched out from its front, as if it was planning to do something to Moketu.
"Gah … Where is this?" The Skeletal Dragon that had fallen got up. The moment it spoke, the alloy spider immediately turned around and looked over.
'Beep!' In an instant, a ray of light illuminated the dark room and passed through the Skeletal Dragon's chest.
