Chapter 780: Point Me in the Right Direction
On the azure sea, a gentle breeze brushed by.
A reflection of a white cloud flashed across the surface of the sea, leaving a long streak in the clear sky as it sped towards a certain direction.
“Hmm?”
Lin Qiye, who was controlling the [Cloud Somersault], seemed to sense something and looked towards a certain direction, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.
“What’s wrong, Qiye?” asked Jialan, who was sitting beside him.
“Over there, someone flew past.”
Lin Qiye extended his hand, pointing to the distant sky where a streak of blue light suddenly dashed across the sea, heading north.
“Whoa, flying that fast?” Bai Li Pangpang squinted, raising an eyebrow. “Are they being chased?”
“Doesn’t seem like it… That person is wearing a dark red cloak; they should be a Night Watchman.”
“Night Watchman?” An Qingyu asked in confusion. “Aren’t Night Watchmen supposed to be stationed in their respective cities? We’re still quite far from the coastline, and there’s nothing around in the sea. How could a Night Watchman appear here?”
“Why not go up and ask?” Bai Li Pangpang suggested. “Anyway, their speed isn’t as fast as Qiye’s cloud. We can stop them and ask for directions to Shangjing City, saving us a lot of time.”
Lin Qiye nodded. “Pangpang is right. If we can find out the direction to Shangjing City, it would indeed save us a lot of detours.”
Lin Qiye looked in the direction where the blue light had disappeared, gently waved his hand, and the [Cloud Somersault] immediately changed direction, speeding towards the other party!
…
In Lu Qiu’s eyes, a series of menacing blood vessels had already appeared.
Under the effect of “Ghost God Induction,” his own potential had been completely exhausted, and his realm had skyrocketed from “Sea” to “Immeasurable,” with his speed increasing several times!
This was his first time… and also his last time reaching such an astonishing speed.
The howling wind roared past Lu Qiu’s ears like the blade of winter, reddening his face. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.
Faster! Faster! Faster!
The faster he went, the more time the Night Watchman had to react, and the greater the chance of defending Shenlong Pass…
He bore not only the lives of everyone at Shenlong Pass but also the lives of millions living in the coastal cities of Daxia!
This responsibility was too heavy; even with the “Ghost God Induction,” his shoulders felt like they could barely bear it.
But he had no choice.
Lu Qiu raced northward, his figure reaching its peak speed. All he could see was the endless horizon of the sea, yearning for the moment when a magnificent steel fortress would appear before his eyes…
So much so that he didn’t even notice a white cloud had flown beside him, keeping pace as they headed north.
“Hey!!”
A voice came from the white cloud beside him.
Hearing this voice, Lu Qiu was taken aback. He instinctively turned his head to the side, and his mouth fell open uncontrollably…
He saw seven figures on the white cloud, all wearing masks, staring at him in unison.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, Tang Seng, Hong Haier, the White Fox, and a faceless girl floating in mid-air…
Lu Qiu’s first reaction was that he had been stimulated into a hallucination.
Damn it… Journey to the West characters have appeared; the effect of this “Ghost God Induction” is too strong, right?!
Just as Lu Qiu was about to slap himself to wake up, the Zhu Bajie on the white cloud shouted again.
“You’re a Night Watchman too, right? Which team are you from? Don’t fly so fast! Come chat on our [Cloud Somersault]; we’re colleagues!”
Crazy.
This world has gone mad!
Zhu Bajie is even calling himself a colleague; could they also be Night Watchmen?
Thinking of this, Lu Qiu suddenly froze.
Night Watchman…
Journey to the West masks…
Special team…
Why does this sound so familiar?
It seems that a special team wearing Journey to the West masks did appear a couple of years ago, but weren’t they missing?
“Bro, don’t run! We’re really not bad guys. Have you heard of the Fifth Special Team?” Bai Li Pangpang pulled out his emblem from his pocket and waved it in the wind.
“We are the Fifth Special Team, [Nightfall], got it?”
The Fifth Special Team?!
Lu Qiu’s pupils constricted sharply. He quickly came back to his senses, staring in shock at this group of cloud-riding Journey to the West characters.
“You are the Fifth Special Team? Who among you is Lin Qiye?”
“I am.” The figure wearing the Sun Wukong mask raised his hand. “I am Lin Qiye.”
He is Lin Qiye! The legendary Lin Qiye!
They really are the Fifth Special Team!
“Hurry!!” Lu Qiu seemed to think of something and spoke excitedly. “Quick! Go to Shenlong Pass! The second beast tide has already begun! Our communication devices have been destroyed, and we can’t send out information. I must go to Tujiao Pass…
My time is running out; please! You must defend Shenlong Pass!
Otherwise, the scene from half a year ago will happen again… cough cough cough…”
After shouting a few urgent words, Lu Qiu suddenly began to cough violently, his face turning pale.
A gray glint flashed in An Qingyu’s eyes, and his brows furrowed.
“You used ‘Ghost God Induction’?” he asked.
Upon hearing the words “Ghost God Induction,” the members of the [Nightfall] team changed their expressions simultaneously. They certainly knew what Ghost God Induction was and understood its side effects… which was death.
But they didn’t understand what Lu Qiu meant.
What kind of information required him to risk death to convey it urgently?
What is Shenlong Pass? What is Tujiao Pass? What is the second beast tide?
“Hurry!” Lu Qiu saw that the few of them were slow to react, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he urgently shouted, “If we don’t go now, it will be too late!”
“I’ll confirm.” Under the Sun Wukong mask, Lin Qiye’s expression was unusually serious. He calmly analyzed:
“You come from a place called [Shenlong Pass], which is very important. If it falls, it will lead to consequences as dire as something that happened half a year ago. Your current goal is to convey the so-called ‘second beast tide’ information to another place called [Tujiao Pass], right?”
Although Lin Qiye didn’t know the situation in Daxia, he quickly distilled the key points and the general logical relationship from Lu Qiu’s earlier words.
Lu Qiu was taken aback. “Yes…”
Only then did Lu Qiu realize that the special team that had disappeared for more than two years might not know the background of all this.
“What is your name?”
“My name is Lu Qiu, the vice-captain of the original 066 Night Watchman team, now the temporary commander of [Shenlong Pass].”
“I understand, Vice-Captain Lu.” Lin Qiye stood up, two golden flames igniting in his eyes, a shadow of night spreading from his coat, quickly dyeing the entire sky.
“Where is [Shenlong Pass]? Point me in the right direction.”
