Chapter 575 - 540 Transporting Timber
The scene changed, and the Flying returned to the Vine Demon Jungle Space once more.
A fresh breeze hit my face, and a clear, emerald river came into view. Looking around, both banks were lush and verdant. Even the once barren Dead Wood River Bank was now covered with fresh grass. The speed at which this Vine Demon Jungle was being transformed and purified was astonishingly fast, changing every day!
"Wow!" exclaimed the newcomers who were here for the first time: "It’s hard to believe that just a moment ago, there was the terrifying Blood Sea, and now we are in the midst of a jungle!"
Anlicia was even more shocked: "This place isn’t on the map of the World Tree Space of the Elf Kingdom, did you discover this space all by yourself?"
Da Fei smiled faintly: "The Blood Sea Space we were in just now isn’t on the Elf Kingdom’s map either!"
Anlicia also had to huff: "You’re impressive!"
Hahaha! Finally bowing down to your husband, eh? Wait till you meet the Vine Demons, you’ll be even more impressed.
At this moment, seeing such a tranquil environment, Da Fei let out a sigh of relief; as long as the Vine Demons were okay. But, that could mean trouble for Habbit Village? Damn, it’s always a case of one issue or the other—when it’s not the left egg hurting, it’s the right. Both are still eggs!
The appearance of the Flying, such a large target, quickly alarmed the Vine Demons, and many green dots rapidly approached on the radar. Needless to say, their forces must have also increased. Good, an increase is good!
The Vine Demons flew closer and seeing such a large ship, there was a chorus of astonishment in the sky!
This is the thrill of showing off one’s strength before women! Da Fei calmly smiled and waved to the sky.
Tachiusu swooped down to the bow of the ship, exclaiming: "Lord City Lord, you’ve opened a new shipping route!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "That’s right, although the demands on the ship’s equipment are very high, it’s open now!"
Then Da Fei introduced everyone one by one: "Let me introduce to Lady Tachiusu, this is Miss Anlicia, the Deputy City Lord of Radiant City; this is my First Officer, Miss Catherine; this is my Medical Officer, Miss Selvia; this is my Artillery Commander, Miss Deirdre; and this is... Miss Elena."
Hahaha! Flaunting one’s wives in front of beautiful women is also a joy, it’s like enjoying the feast in the pot while eyeing the crops in the field.
Tachiusu immediately returned the courtesy: "Welcome all Warrior ladies, I am Tachiusu, the Clan Leader of the Lumang Tribe, it was the Lord who rescued my people from danger!"
Anlicia’s eyes widened in disbelief: "A Vine Demon Hero! My goodness, this is my first time seeing one!"
Tachiusu curtsied with a smile: "You flatter me, Deputy City Lord Miss. Though I am a hero, I’m far behind everyone else! Very happy to meet you all."
Good grief! Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, you’re someone who can go head to head with the big Tree Spirits, I’ve seen the scale of your powers, I bet none of my wives except Elena could beat you!
And indeed, Anlicia also very tactfully waved her hand repeatedly, awkwardly saying: "Oh no, it is I who should be learning from Lady Tachiusu!"
Speaking of learning, doesn’t she have a very rare Air Transport Skill that can increase the capacity of the Flying Army?
Da Fei laughed heartily and pointed to Deirdre: "Lady Tachiusu, my Deputy Officer here is also a flying hero, she’s the one who must learn the Air Transport Skill from you."
Deirdre hastily stepped forward to offer her respects: "Please teach me, Clan Leader Lady."
Tachiusu smiled: "As repayment to Lord City Lord, I will teach with all my might, but teaching the Air Transport Skill requires specialized training, so I must ask the Lord to set aside some free time, so as not to disrupt your battle plans."
Da Fei was momentarily taken aback, another skill that took time to learn? Which is to say, both Air Transport Skill and the previously mentioned Air Riding Skill are like life skills such as mining and blacksmithing, requiring time to practice proficiency? Damn! My schedule is tight, this is quite troublesome!
Da Fei could only laugh: "No problem, no problem! Once the battle is dealt with, I will arrange time immediately."
Tachiusu suddenly became serious: "Lord City Lord, speaking of battle, I must report an abnormal situation to you. Since the day before yesterday, when we collected driftwood floating down from upstream space, we found markings on the wood, saying that an abnormality was detected in space and invaders were discovered. They requested troops be sent early."
Da Fei was shocked: "Where’s the driftwood? That’s why I came here!"
Tachiusu said solemnly: "Please take the ship upstream to the timber yard. Oh, ever since your last departure, we have been continuously collecting wood that floated down from upstream, and have accumulated 2000 units."
Da Fei rejoiced: "That much, wonderful, I can take a large half of it!"
Luckily, my Flying has the extra Holy Vine Space that can fit 1000 units of cargo, now my massive ship has a place to go! Speaking of the Holy Vine Space, Da Fei hurriedly laughed: "Lady Tachiusu, there’s an old friend of yours, you should meet her, can I invite you to visit the cargo hold with me?"
And at this moment, a fluctuating Space Gate suddenly appeared on the deck, with Gardener Tamilia smiling as she emerged: "No need, I’ve been eavesdropping all along!"
Lady Tachiusu exclaimed with delight: "Miss Tamilia, it’s been so many years since I’ve seen you, it’s great that you’re fine!"
Tamilia chuckled: "It’s good that you’re all fine as well, hard to imagine, a thousand years without seeing each other and you’ve actually broken through limits to become a hero. You truly are the pride of our Vine Demon clan!"
Lady Tachiusu shook her head and sighed: "The Solar Eclipse War a thousand years ago caused this place to be struck by Divine Power, perhaps it was that opportunity that allowed me to break through. However, our old friend from the opposite coast, the ancient tree Regulas was indeed corrupted by the Dark Divine Power and became an evil hero. Fortunately, he was defeated by Lord City Lord, and our tribe was also saved."
Da Fei smiled faintly: "Let’s not talk about the past, haha!" Hahaha, I must bring it up, often, and keep it in my heart ready to offer my soul at any time!
Tamilia said with emotion: "We were all saved by Lord City Lord. Oh, and let me tell you some good news, this ship is now the new home of the Holy Vine."
Lady Tachiusu wondered: "No wonder I felt familiar energies on this ship, this is truly magical, but the ship seems to be in poor condition?"
Tamilia frowned: "It has been cursed by our arch nemesis, the Flame Demon Balroque. Right now we are trying to find a way to break the curse."
Lady Tachiusu frowned: "I see. But in my view, the best way to dispel a Divine Power curse is with Divine Power. Does Lord City Lord have any solutions?"
Divine Power? I’ve seen my fair share of gods, but they’re all enemies, not friends, where can I find a benevolent god? Da Fei smiled wryly: "How about leeching off the Divine Power of the World Tree?"
Miss Anlicia’s eyebrows shot up: "No way! Absolutely not! I will definitely oppose anything that endangers the World Tree!"
Da Fei spat out his drink in shock, oh my god, can’t you give your husband some face? Can’t you stop arguing with me in front of my beautiful lover? This Epic Hero is indeed principled and thoughtful, unlike those tavern heroes who would cause less trouble.
Lady Tachiusu chuckled: "Miss Deputy City Lord is overthinking it. Although we live in the World Tree Space, where the World Tree Divine Power is, we mortals simply cannot see or touch it, we have no way to search for it."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. No way to search? That’s not right; at least I know of one place - the Eight-Headed Snake Channel! As the Habbit Village Chief or that Ancient Sage put it, the Eight-Headed Snake found a space leaking World Tree Divine Power and stayed there absorbing it. And every time I go there, I see the stars like snowflakes fluttering in the sky - must that not be the Divine Power of the World Tree? Damn! Isn’t this giving me another reason I must kill the Eight-Headed Snake?
The thought of having to battle the Eight-Headed Snake weighed heavily on Da Fei’s heart.
Finally, piled up like mountains of timber appeared on the riverbank ahead, and groups of Vine Demons were using their vines to drag driftwood floating down from the upstream space toward the shore.
Lady Tachiusu smiled: "Lord City Lord, we’ve reached the timber storage site!"
Da Fei nodded in amazement: "Thank you all so much, you’ve really worked hard!"
Oh my gosh, how many times has that Eight-Headed Snake been hit by so much wood in the channel? Wasn’t it knocked into being stupid? If so, my odds of winning are great!
Lady Tachiusu smiled: "Lord City Lord, there’s no need for politeness, please come ashore!"
Thus, with the warm welcome of the Vine Demons, Da Fei and his entourage of beauties once again enjoyed the treatment of air sofas as they landed safely.
Now, Lady Tachiusu led Da Fei to a pile of timber set aside: "Lord City Lord, this is the pile that floated down the day before yesterday. The text carved on these few logs is all the same, probably because that person named Tai Da was worried that you wouldn’t see them and carved several - this pile came yesterday, and this pile is from today."
Da Fei nodded and hastily checked:
"Lord, urgent situation. Today while I was supervising the logging team, sudden lightning and thunder occurred in the space. This is a typical sign of Demons breaking through the Space Barrier and invading. All Hobbits are ready for Defense. This is the only way I can contact Lord City Lord, please immediately begin to send support upon seeing this, your loyal advisor Tai Da."
Da Fei hurriedly looked at yesterday’s message:
"Lord City Lord, there were no disturbances in the Black Forest Space nor the Swamp Space today, but according to my calculations, it is highly likely that the Demons will appear in the Lava Space opposite Mercury Lake. If that is the case, the toxic gases of Mercury Lake will become our natural Defense line. In short, time is of the essence, Habbit Village Chief has also sent help, we have accelerated the pace of logging!"
And today:
"Lord City Lord, so far there have been no anomalies."
So that’s how it is! No anomalies, hold on! I’ve even purchased the Mercury Factory; don’t even think about dreaming about Mercury Lake.
As for now, let’s hurry up and load the timber while there are no anomalies, and ship a load of timber back first. The development of the battleship cannot stop. Even during the shipping period, I can’t waste time; I need to go see what shape the Eight-Headed Snake is in now.
