Chapter 76

"......Too... amazing!" After the clouds parted, although they were still surrounded by tornadoes, they could now look up and see a clear blue sky. However, these were merely embellishments!

Adornments for the massive floating city in the sky, where almost everyone's gaze was fixed on the sky city.

A gentle breeze blew, and Lei appeared beside Zheng Chen, looking curiously at the sky city not far away. The top of the sky city was covered by a vast tree canopy. This must be the powerful plant that Xi Ya mentioned, right?

He quickly wrapped the Feng Huang Fu back around, looked at the spreading black spots, and realized it was time to inject the suppressant again.

Shaking his head, he temporarily ignored this. His constitution had recently undergone a significant improvement, and the impact of the black spots was still manageable for now.

"Really beautiful!" After removing the mask from his face, Chen Kai couldn't help but exclaim. He had heard about the sky city, but seeing it in person made him want to let out a loud cry. The adventure was absolutely worth it!

"President... hurry and land, some people are already vomiting!!"

Coming back to his senses, Chen Kai looked back. Out of the dozens of guild members, about 80% were hanging on the ropes connected to the flying machines. His brother weakly removed his mask and vomited all over.

Some were so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to remove their masks.

"Let's go and see it." Xi Ya pointed excitedly at the tree canopy covering the top of the sky city.

Zheng Chen nodded. Since they had come all this way, it would be a shame not to take a look.

After landing on the sky city, Chen Kai looked at the severely damaged flying machines with some concern. After the excitement, he felt depressed. They had managed to get in, but how would they get out?

Another attempt would be suicidal!

"Lei, look, there's a bird's nest." Xi Ya pointed excitedly at a small bird's nest on the grass. As she approached, the two birds inside chirped at her.

It wasn't affection, but a warning!

Xi Ya, who was about to gently pet them, paused, her hand frozen in mid-air, looking at a loss. The small animals were actually repelling her...

Seeing this, Zheng Chen's eyelids drooped slightly. Animals have a strong sense of perception, and Xi Ya's aura had become chaotic again over the past few days. Her approach naturally made the two birds feel intensely uneasy.

Strangely, despite being at a high altitude, the temperature here was very comfortable, not inferior to the ground at all. In fact, due to no one having approached for hundreds of years, the environment here had become even more beautiful.

Standing here, one could see a vast greenhouse garden, from which the giant tree canopy extended.

Glancing at Chen Kai and the others, who were excitedly looking around, he asked, "How much do you know about this place?"

Chen Kai, who had been lost in thought, was taken aback and shook his head. "Not much. We only know that this place has a high level of technology and a huge treasure. We don't know why the ancient Laputans abandoned it."

This information had been initially leaked. Regardless of whether it was true, the sky city alone was enough to make people strive for it. They were the first to log in here!

As long as they controlled the sky city, they would definitely use it as a base!

"Let's start searching. It's best to find a way to control this place." Chen Kai said, seeing that the other members had mostly recovered. They didn't have much time, and the members observing the situation in the town had already sent many private messages.

He had no time to read them earlier, but now he had gone through all of them. The robot that had been rampaging in the military base had been destroyed, but its power before dying had almost demolished the base.

Additionally, the girl Hilda, who was closely related to the sky city, had been taken away by a group of air pirates nearby, and the large warship in the military base had also set off.

The information ended there, and the guild members couldn't follow up. They had no way to keep up!

Therefore, the time left for them was limited. They needed to act quickly to maintain their advantage, or else when others arrived, the advantage would be lost.

Just as the others were about to take action, a robot over three meters tall with long mechanical arms walked over. It had a large and a small hole on its face, with two small holes in the center flashing red, seemingly observing them.

Under the players' vigilance, the robot did not attack but pointed at the flying machines and then at a nearby area without grass, indicating something quite clearly.

"Uh... is this a gardener robot?" Chen Kai couldn't help but ask. Upon arriving, he had noticed that despite being abandoned for hundreds of years, the place was not overgrown with weeds. It looked as if it was regularly maintained.

Seeing the robot, he guessed the reason. Another confirmation was that the robot in the military base had spikes on its arms, but this one did not.

"Move the flying machines." Seeing that the gardener robot stayed without leaving, Chen Kai gave the order directly.

"Huh, President, is that necessary?" a member asked, feeling a bit... awkward about following a robot's instructions.

"Less talk, hurry up. This might be our base in the future. How can we not take good care of it? Who wouldn't feel comfortable here?"

The player who asked the question scratched his head. Well, the scenery here did indeed make one feel very peaceful.

After moving the flying machines, the gardener robot, which had been stationary, moved its head, which was small compared to its body, and turned to walk in another direction.

"We'll rest here for a while." Zheng Chen sat down on the spot and said calmly.

Chen Kai didn't hesitate and followed the gardener robot with the other guild members. After they left, Zheng Chen shaped an injector in his hand and removed the Feng Huang Fu from his left hand.

Seeing this, Lei worriedly grabbed Zheng Chen's clothes, "Wait... isn't this too dangerous for you?"

The black spots on Zheng Chen's arm had just spread, and extracting black particles from Xi Ya again seemed suicidal.

"Better than her losing control." He walked up to Xi Ya.

"Um... what are you going to do?"

Noticing Zheng Chen's unusual expression, Xi Ya took a few steps back, her vines becoming defensive due to her emotional changes.

"Don't make me force you." Zheng Chen said coldly, not stopping.

Seeing the injector in his hand, Xi Ya seemed to recall something, her eyes turning from clear to confused, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Kis... why are you doing this to me, to our child..."

Ignoring Xi Ya's murmurs, Zheng Chen burst forward at his fastest speed, grabbing the agitated vines, and the patterns instantly connected.

The captured vines initially struggled violently but quickly lost their vitality and turned into fine powder. Avoiding the vines that lashed out, Zheng Chen frowned, stepped on the vine that wrapped around his ankle, and grabbed another one.

The confusion in Xi Ya's eyes quickly turned to a frenzied madness, "You!!..."

"Do you want to die?"

Before the vines could fully rebel, Zheng Chen raised his right hand, a dagger almost touching Xi Ya's pupils, and the rebellious vines stopped.

Even though he moved quickly, a few rebellious vines still pierced his back, and the one he stepped on quickly grew and wrapped around him.

"..."

Ignoring the hateful expression on Xi Ya's face, Zheng Chen removed the vines one by one. The black spots on his arm gradually connected, and after removing the external vines, he quickly stepped back and rewrapped the Feng Huang Fu.

The spreading black spots were immediately suppressed, but they continued to spread slowly, affecting Zheng Chen's condition. He picked up the injector he had thrown on the ground and injected a new suppressant into his left arm, and the slowly spreading black spots slowly receded.

Xi Ya, sitting on the ground, panted slightly, her eyes alternating between confusion and clarity. Seeing Zheng Chen, she instinctively showed fear. Extracting the black particles from her body could alleviate her mental confusion but also weaken her, as the black particles came from her own deteriorated power.

Facing Zheng Chen and Xi Ya's conditions, Lei felt a pang of sadness and helplessness. She still couldn't help anyone...

Xi Ya recovered much faster than Zheng Chen. The weakness from the suppressant had not yet subsided, but the madness in her eyes had already faded. It was unclear which part of her memory would remain.

"Huh? I seem to have forgotten something?" Looking at the layer of powder on the grass, Xi Ya asked, puzzled. In the room where she first 'woke up,' there were also these powders scattered around.

Zheng Chen shook his head at Lei.

"No, Xi Ya, you're fine."

Lei wiped her eyes and forced a smile at Xi Ya.

"Is that so?" Xi Ya patted the powder off her dress and stood up, head down. Is that really so...

The chaotic memories in her mind became even more jumbled.
