Chapter 4037 The Song of the Purple Moon (88) — Once upon a time, there was a person...
[Song of the Purple Moon]... In a corner of [Black and White Ravine].
"So, my elder sister hid the boat here."
Standing before a shallow but quite wide puddle, Xiaomeng crouched down and began to splash water with her palms.
The water rippled, with all sorts of waves.
Such a shallow puddle could not possibly conceal an ancient, legendary ghost ship. In fact, the witch's method of hiding the Flying Dutchman was not complicated, but rather simple and crude.
First, she dug a deep enough pit to fit the ghost ship, and then simply laid a puddle of water over it—of course, to make it seamless.
Around the puddle, there were even some strange metal pillars that had the ability to construct space. They were creations of [Star Creation], but also products of the [Science Side], used to stabilize subspace.
"Aunt Meng, do you think Mom will come back?" Newbie N asked dejectedly.
"Sweetie, even though your big sister isn't here anymore, I'll still take good care of you," Xiaomeng said with a smile. "Your ability is to mimic all buttons and make it seem natural, right?"
Newbee N said confidently, "That's right! Our series is full of people who miraculously develop this ability! Aunt Meng, do you have anyone you want to monitor? Just tell me!"
"That's a bit much to ask," Xiao Meng chuckled. "After all, even I wouldn't dare to eavesdrop on that person."
Newbee N blinked involuntarily, but like master, Newbee N chose not to ask—asking too much would only lead to a quick death!
"Aunt Meng, are you going to take this ghost ship away?" N even cleverly changed the subject.
"Let's see if we can still sail~" Xiao Meng was about to board the ship, but then her gaze shifted and looked towards another dimly lit place.
"Aunt Meng, it seems like something... is about to appear!" Niu Bingwei No. N jumped to the ground. "This feeling... feels like my brother?"
Niu Bingwei No. N stared intently at the dimly lit area, as for the so-called "brother"?
All that could be heard was a series of sounds coming from there.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho! I'm a hardworking little bee! Heave-ho, heave-ho!"
A small, robot-like device was slowly approaching, dragging an adult-sized ice sculpture along with it. When this spinning little plate saw Niu Bingwei N, its eyes lit up!
"Nth!"
"King Kong!"
Without the setting sun, the two creations, after shouting passionately, quickly ran towards each other, as if even the air was filled with a sweet fragrance!
The robot vacuum cleaner named "King Kong" suddenly took to the air, flipped 360 degrees, and transformed back into a palm-sized metal cube with thin arms and legs, finally embracing Niu Bingwei No. N!
"King Kong, Mommy has disappeared! We're orphans now!"
“I know, I used to hunt for Mom! But it’s okay, we’re all grown up now, we can be in charge! Even if Mom’s gone, we can still inherit her estate!”
"Yes!" Niu Bingwei No. N nodded heavily. "Inherit... no! Let Mama guard her estate!"
Suddenly, Xiaomeng felt that her older sister's creations were actually quite filial?
"King Kong, what's going on?"
"Oh, this is the unlucky fellow who tried to sneak in! I just used a clever trick to take him down!" King Kong said with a chuckle. "But that place was too dangerous, so I dragged him here!"
"Well done, Jin Gangwa!" Niu Bingwei No. N immediately gave a thumbs up. "Come on, Jin Gangwa, go and see Aunt Meng! With Mommy gone, Aunt Meng is now our closest relative!"
So King Kong quickly turned his gaze to Xiao Meng, patted his chest and said, "Aunt Meng, nice to meet you! I'm King Kong, I can fight and take on any challenge, I can play tricks and infiltrate bad guys, I'm good at cleaning furniture, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, please take care of me in the future!"
Xiao Meng felt as if she saw two older sisters.
She chuckled at the two little creatures, then leaped aboard the legendary pirate ghost ship.
"Nth, Aunt Meng smiled at us. It seems she's accepted us?" King Kong whispered.
"Aunt Meng is amazing! From now on, we'll enjoy a life of luxury with her and never have to live that nomadic life with Mom again!" Niu Bingwei No. N said with great seriousness, "Let's hurry up and find all the brothers scattered in other places and bring them here to join us!"
"That's exactly right!"
Anyway, he's very filial and respectful to his brothers, isn't he?
at this time.
On the deck, as soon as Xiaomeng landed, a sea vine quickly stretched out and wrapped around her calf.
It's slippery.
"It seems like they're not very welcoming to me."
……
……
……
……
A courtyard, a solitary grave.
Little Mimi was idly propping its chin up, its eyes fixed on Ah Xiruo, who was already in meditation. Beneath it lay pieces of mangled, peeled-off flower petals—a frivolous act.
It wanted to speak several times, but held back—mainly because Ah Xi Ruo's temper was obviously not very good.
It feels so difficult, so humiliating...
Just then, a portal appeared, and Boss Luo walked out slowly, followed by a maid and a piece of white paper—but not Rimbaud or Yuga.
However, the true dragon of Shenzhou remained in a meditative state, seemingly oblivious to Luo Qiu's arrival.
Well, it's like a husband coming home late at night after drinking, calling his wife a few times, but she's just "asleep" and doesn't respond—it's already good enough that she didn't say, "Get out of here, you're all drunk, don't bother me."
"Master, perhaps we shouldn't disturb Miss Long?" the maid said softly. "I'm afraid that disturbing Miss Long might cause her to suffer a qi deviation... It seems that cultivation in Shenzhou is very sensitive to being disturbed while practicing."
...Damaged by internal energy?
The true dragon of Shenzhou broke through the defenses in an instant and couldn't be held in place at all!
She opened her eyes, first rolling her eyes at the maid, then rolling them back at Boss Luo with a disgruntled look. "Oh, busy man, you've finally decided to show up?"
Usually, in situations like this, all you need to do is sort it out.
The profuse-haired true dragon of China is actually quite easy to straighten out.
"Well, I've sorted things out." Luo Qiu went straight to Ah Xiruo and helped her up. "And you, did you make any progress?"
"If that counts," Ah Xiruo glanced indifferently at the solitary white grave behind her, then her eyes widened, "Aren't you going to help me up!"
The true dragon of China is so down-to-earth that he only treated Boss Luo as an ordinary man—her man.
"Is this Karithorp's grave?"
"And there's more to her story." Long Xiruo nodded. "She was one of the designers of this flower field, did you know that?"
“I see…” Boss Luo nodded, thought for a moment and said, “Have you found anything about [Cicero]?”
"Don't you know?" Ah Xiruo asked, frowning.
Boss Luo shook his head. "Because this is Miss Long's treasure hunt, you naturally need to be the first person to open the treasure chest, which makes it all the more precious. As for me, just listening to Miss Long's story is enough."
—All you do is flatter people, you're so annoying!
“…When I have time!” Ah Xi Ruo hummed in agreement. “There’s nothing interesting here anymore. Let’s go, I don’t want to stay here.”
Boss Luo snapped his fingers casually.
……
The next moment, the group appeared outside the [Flower Sea Orb]—including Boros, who looked like a puppet soldier.
After thinking for a moment, Boss Luo said, "I will put this courtyard away later. Miss Long can come and visit anytime she wants."
As for how to collect it, Ah Xi Ruo didn't even consider it. If the deadbeat said he would collect it, then he definitely would.
But then Ah Xi Ruo hesitated for a moment, "Hey... don't you think it's unlucky for someone to have erected a tomb here? After all, this courtyard..."
"This place is quite nice," Boss Luo said with a calm smile. "It's a very suitable place for eternal rest, and the 'someone' Miss Long mentioned, I think it's Cicero, right?"
"Hmm." Ah Xiruo nodded. "By the way, could you... come with me to do something?"
Boss Luo blinked—a look of interest.
……
……
……
……
"It was truly tragic."
These are the ships of the subsequent pirate alliance forces, which are currently sailing in large numbers across the land of [Purple Moon], searching for possible survivors.
Believe it or not, a few lucky ones were indeed found here and there, and most of them were treasure hunters who came to [Purple Moon].
There's not much to say. If you're found by the Void Pirates, you either have to accept your bad luck and pay the ransom yourself, or you have to call someone to pay the ransom, or you have to stay in Rogue City as a black slave.
A voice suddenly appeared on the bow of the ship—[Pirate King], Zhang Bolu!
"Boss, you're alright!"
[Xiang Feihu] exclaimed in surprise and delight.
"Oh, you're all here." Zhang Bolu looked around; the number of team leaders present was roughly as he had predicted. "Where's Lao Kan?"
"He went back first," [Xiang Feihu] said frankly. "There was a little unpleasantness, but it's nothing serious."
Zhang Bolu couldn't help but touch his nose. He knew Li Huamei's personality well; the small problem she mentioned would probably be quite a blow to other team leaders.
The air seemed to suddenly become quiet.
Falgaro broke the silence, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions? The search and rescue can be handled by the logistics troops, but this [Purple Moon]..."
Just as Zhang Bolu was about to speak, a Void Pirate hurriedly boarded the command ship.
"Lord Xiang Feihu, we have discovered... Ah! Your Majesty!!" The pirate was startled and quickly greeted him respectfully, "Your Majesty! Our search and rescue team has found many... many undead on the ground!"
"Living dead?" Zhang Bolu frowned. "How many?"
"They're so numerous, I can't even count them all!" the pirate exclaimed in panic. "They seem to have sprung up from underground..."
"Go and see."
……
On the shattered land, countless figures wandered like ghosts—most of them were rabbits of the [Long-eared] race, but many were also treasure hunters and void pirates.
It's like some kind of virus is spreading.
The search and rescue teams were now surrounded by swarms of zombies, each organizing their own small battle zones and struggling to put up a fight!
Suddenly, a terrifying golden light fell from the sky and struck the earth. Instantly, the shockwave exploded, creating a gap in the "sea" of zombies!
——【Shohiko】!
"I'm saved! I thought I was about to..."
"Let's leave here first!" Li Huamei said to the others in a deep voice.
The search and rescue team left immediately, and [Xiang Feihu] also rushed to another battle zone to provide support—the captains were all doing similar things.
Above the sky, the drums of the "Dragon Sparrow Breaking Formation Song" were playing, giving them tremendous blessings.
"The king's divine magic seems to have increased in power considerably..."
"Could it be because of the treasure of [Purple Moon]?"
"Let's rescue them first!"
High in the sky, Zhang Bolu's gaze swept quickly across the land, and he soon sensed an unusual aura. The next moment, he transformed into a rainbow and fled, instantly landing on a rocky ground.
Among the various forms of living corpses, Zhang Bolu spotted a familiar figure.
Banikolai—the strongest warrior of the Laurel tribe who had only recently pledged allegiance to him—had also been turned into a zombie, and Avril was even by his side.
"What exactly happened in all of this...?"
Zhang Bolu frowned, and just as he was about to approach Banikoli, he was met with a lightning-fast slash from Banikoli.
The Pirate King was also an expert with a knife, and this sudden attack could not harm him at all—in fact, Zhang Bolu even knocked the knife out of the strongest rabbit's hand in an instant!
With one hand pressing Banić to the ground, Zhang Bolu looked around... Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he forcefully tore off a strange, starfish-like tentacle sucker from behind Banić's neck.
Banikoli, who had been struggling, suddenly fell silent and even lost consciousness—but the aura of a living corpse disappeared.
"Boss!" [Xiang Feihu] landed at this moment, "What's this?"
Zhang Bolu stared at the strange tentacle-like starfish in his hand and pondered, "The Flying Dutchman... I saw something similar on that ship before, but it was a fossil. How did it come back to life?"
"【The Flying Dutchman】?" 【Xiang Feihu】 was immediately startled. "【Davy Jones】?!"
"I'm going to the Black and White Abyss!" Zhang Bolu's heart stirred. "The ghost ship suddenly disappeared. I have a feeling that something is not simple! You stay here and go with Falgaro and the others to rescue the people first."
"Yes!"
……
……
Ah Xiruo wanted Boss Luo to accompany her to return to the [Black and White Ravine] and enter the original entrance to the [Purple Moon] core.
Because the mutated, Asura-like [Sea God] is still here—however, the [Sea God] was originally holding the little [Mimi] with big eyes, but now it has become…
"Little brat?" Ah Xi Ruo looked at the pink-haired girl trembling in [Sea God's] arms with surprise, then reached out and pinched the head of the cute little [Mimi] with big eyes. "Shouldn't you explain yourself?"
"...I, I don't know either?" Little [Mimi] slapped her forehead. "You know, I was imprisoned by Raizo and lost control of the labyrinth for a period of time."
Ah Xiruo frowned and said, "Has this little devil's fear not subsided yet?"
"I didn't use my powers on her!" Little Mimi quickly said, "She really fell into her own fear. After all, Sea God Mommy isn't a projection; she truly exists!"
Ah Xi Ruo sighed helplessly, staring at the Sea God and the female imp, mother and daughter, seemingly lost in thought... looking like she couldn't make a decision.
"Miss Long, what are you planning to do?" the maid asked casually.
Hearing the black-hearted maid's voice, Ah Xi Ruo seemed even more irritated, her face full of displeasure, but she still replied, "I want to bury [Sea God] in Kalithorpe's grave."
Upon hearing this, little Bai Zhi immediately opened her mouth.
So, Miss Long, you just asked the master if it would be bad luck if someone erected a grave in the courtyard... This "someone" refers to yourself!
I've been quite busy these past few days...
