Towards Eternity
Ch 601s
In the lava lake, the steamer Weng Lou taken by Lin Bei's group had been sailing since the afternoon.
As Lin Be and the others had guessed, the ship that Lin Gou and his army members took at the port of Tiesha City was no ordinary ship. The metal used to make the ship is not just any metal. At least half of the ship's metal parts are made of materials for the manufacture of level 3 weapons that are resistant to even very hot temperatures.
As a result, Lin Bei's group only needed to make a shield on the top of the ship to prevent hot air from entering the ship. There are also some protectors made on the inside of the ship to keep the temperature inside stable.
They moved the ship no longer using ferocious beasts to pull the ship, but rather using the Qi and Soul Power of the Pursuit Army members. Under Lin Bei's direction, the ship could be moved and sailed over the lava lake.
"Report, Captain! We've managed to sail a quarter of the distance between the harbor and the volcano. The ship still remained stable, and there were no significant temperature changes on the inside. Black Ape Brawlers were also still in stable condition inside the ship without showing any signs of resistance." One of Lin Bei's subordinates who came out from inside the ship came to Lin Bei and Lin Gou who were in the control room, then gave his examination results on the inside of the ship.
Hearing him, Lin Bei nodded in understanding, then told him to go back to work.
"I don't know if we're lucky or unlucky today, this ship that you guys managed to secure has really given me great hope. I wonder who the original owner was. I'm sure, at least he's a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification. Having the wealth to build a ship as grand and as great as this, he must have extraordinary wealth" said Lin Bei.
He was currently sitting on a chair, right in front of the control of the ship. Although he did not know how to use the steamer Weng Lou, but the control system he can still recognize because Weng Lou still uses the rudder of the ship in general.
"I don't know who he is either, captain. But from what the administrators of Tiesha City told me, the owner of this ship is a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification stage 3. They themselves do not know the exact identity of her, but it is said that she looks like a teenager no older than 17 years. The city officials said they would take care of it once they knew where he was hiding in the city."
"They should have caught him by now, considering that a week has passed since we left the port. But I'm a little worried about them, chances are they've gotten some serious injuries from the guy. He was able to single-handedly deal with the Black Ape Fighter without having the Phoenix blood on his body, that meant he had to be someone who was very experienced." Lin Gou explained while feeling a little worried.
He himself was unsure of being able to win against the Black Ape Fighters if the two fought one on one, even with the help of his Phoenix bloodline strength though. Fortunately the Phoenix blood had the natural power to make the ferocious beasts that were beneath it to submit, or else, it did not, they must have gone through an all-out fight against the Black Ape Fighters in the port of Tiesha City.
Lin Bei seemed to be nodding his head, understanding with his vice's explanation. He was unconscious that time because he had finished fighting against Weng Ying Luan in the Battle Arena. Although he lost to her, Lin Bei did not hold the slightest bit of grudge against Weng Ying Luan. In fact he wanted to thank Weng Ying Luan as much as possible in case the two of them met again.
Thanks to the fight against him, the Phoenix bloodline contained within his body had undergone an increase in purity. This made his Phoenix bloodline have now been at the fifty percent mark over, almost reaching sixty percent.
Generally speaking, those with a Phoenix bloodline would be able to activate their Phoenix Flame if it had a Phoenix blood percentage of at least above forty percent. For Lin Bei's case, he initially only had a mere forty percent of the Phoenix's blood in him, so he couldn't use the Phoenix Flame at first.
"But the five Tiesha City administrators each had Phoenix blood with a percentage of at least forty percent more. The one who is able to fight them should at least have strength in the realm of Soul Unification stage 5. In Tiesha City, only the owner of the Battle Arena could stand up to them alone and come out victorious. So you know you don't have to worry about them. I'm sure those people aren't having any problems at all." Lin Bei gave his response.
"Yes, you're right, Captain. I've had too much of a mind load lately, so I often think strangely. Tiesha City is one of the important cities that our Lin Family has, the people appointed to guard and take care of it should be very experienced and have decent strength. I'm sorry I've been thinking a no-no, Captain."
Lin Bei smiled, "No need to think about it anymore. We are now focusing on passing through the lake. I'm afraid the beast won't let us pass through the lake just like that because it doesn't use the transport ship that the Family Head has given us a special mark."
That savage beast was a personal pet belonging to the current Head of the Lin Family. Assigned to guard the lava lake from intruders who tried to break into the Lin Family residence, the savage beast would unreservedly destroy the ship, or any suspicious object that has no special mark belongs to the Head of the Lin Family Family. In the space of a few years, there have been dozens of intruder ships destroyed by the beast.
The only way to avoid the rampage is to pass through the air. However that choice would only be taken by those who went in the number of finger counts and had been in the realm of Soul Unification. Lin Bei's group of twenty-plus could not choose that plan. Moreover, it was not until the five people who had been in the realm of Soul Unification in their group. Moreover, they were carrying Black Ape Fighters who had incredible weight. Impossible to take the air route.
"But I'm sure the creature will let us pass the captain, because there we have you on board this ship." Lin Gou looked convinced and made Lin Bei laugh.
He hoped that what Lin Gou said really happened. As much as possible, he did not want their group to have to deal with the ferocious beasts. It would not end well if they had to fight against him.
Half an hour later. Lin Bei's group finally arrived midway. There was a slightly tense face from the members of the Pursuit Army. Lin Gou put on a serious expression as he stared at the hot lava that continued to spit out hot bubbles.
Their ship kept moving for a while and still nothing happened. But the faces of everyone did not seem happy because of that, instead they felt that something was wrong. During their journey, some ferocious beasts had already blocked them, yet the figure of a ferocious beast belonging to the Head of the Lin Family had yet to appear at all.
This has never happened before. The transport ship that had been given a special mark by the Head of the Lin Family Family would even still be held back by the ferocious beast for a while to ensure the people who were riding on the ship.
Yet at this moment, there was not the slightest sign of the savage beast, and it felt extremely awkward by everyone, especially Lin Bei and Lin Gou who understood how terrifying his figure was.
"Captain, it looks like something's not right here. Should we just keep moving?" Lin Gou from above the deck exclaimed at Lin Bei in the control room.
Lin Bei was just silent while seriously paying attention outside the ship. The place was very quiet and silent, there was not the slightest sign of a living being.
"I don't know what's going on here, but maybe this is a chance for us. All of them! Stream more of your Qi! We'll increase our speed and hurry away from here!"
After pondering, Lin Bei finally gave his orders. Quickly all the members of the Pursuit Army began to do as their Captain had said. Lin Gou himself went to the top of the control room roof and checked the surroundings, just in case something unwanted happened.
The ship they were riding on immediately left the middle of the lake and rushed towards the volcano.
They had no idea that actually, a few minutes ago, something very fast had flown over the lake and attracted the attention of the beast they were looking for.
That something was none other than the flying boat that the Weng Lou group was riding on.
At this moment, they had almost reached the volcano, but the beast figure that had been following them since had finally caught up with them, and was now blocking their path.
