Chapter 1152 - Little Girl
Chapter 1152: Little Girl
After being teleported many times, Ou Yangming became curious about Teleportation Formations. They might seem ordinary, but they could actually allow living beings to travel between two planets at will.
If Ou Yangming had not come to the Great Wide World, he would never have thought that there would be such a miraculous thing.
The distances between the stars were so far that it would take months or even years to arrive by dragon boat. With the Teleportation Formations, it would only take a few minutes.
Ou Yangming had some respect for the inventor of the Teleportation Formations. The person’s understanding of interspatial laws had definitely reached an astonishing level.
No one in the Great Wide World knew who had invented the Teleportation Formations, but everyone knew that it had been passed down from ancient times. Countless inheritances had been cut off in ancient times, but the formations were fortunately preserved.
Luckily, they were preserved. Otherwise, the Great Wide World would have become even more isolated, and the pace of the development of civilization would have become slower.
After riding the Teleportation Formations more than 10 times, Ou Yangming finally arrived at the teleportation point closest to the Zhenwu Continent.
There were many people gathered here. On the map, the dragon emperor had marked that there was no Teleportation Formation between this point and the Zhenwu Continent.
The main reason was that the space ahead was very fragile. The cost of building a Teleportation Formation was high, and the danger factor was also very high. If those who were not strong enough were to accidentally fall into the interspatial disturbance in the formation, they would surely die.
“The giant flying boat heading to the Zhenwu Continent will take off in 2 hours. Those who don’t have tickets, hurry up. If there are no seats left, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”
A few men in uniform shouted from the side. Their targets were the people who had just walked out of the Teleportation Formation.
From this deserted planet to the Zhenwu Continent, the only would be a flying boat. The flying boat was a massive transportation here and was similar to the dragon boat. Nonetheless, as compared to the dragon boat, the quality of the flying boat was slightly lower. It was usually used to carry a large number of guests.
Of course, if one had confidence in one’s strength, one could also just cross the void. Even so, one needed to be above a Ruler to do that and might face various dangers. This path was marked with a red danger symbol on the map.
Ou Yangming walked over. He looked like a big man as he asked, “How much is a ticket?”
The burly man also looked at Ou Yangming. He pointed to a corner not far away and said, “200 high-grade spirit coins per ticket. Go to that place to buy one.”
A small table could be seen at the place the burly man pointed at. A skinny middle-aged man was selling tickets there.
Ou Yangming walked over. Just as he was about to speak, a few people squeezed in front of him. These people were bareheaded, and their bodies reeked of blood. It seemed like they had experienced a massacre.
“7 people!” A bald man shouted coldly. He did not care if his actions brought trouble to others.
After taking the 7 tickets, the bald man turned around and looked at Ou Yangming. He sneered. “Little brat, this world isn’t for weaklings like you.”
Ou Yangming’s eyes were cold. It was one thing to be cut in line, but the man even ridiculed him for no reason. This made him a little unhappy.
“Forget it, young brother. Those people are Starry Sky Hunters. Ordinary people can’t afford to provoke them so forget it.”
The skinny man who sold the tickets saw Ou Yangming’s expression and said with a smile.
Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze and looked at the person in front of him and asked, “What are Starry Sky Hunters? Are they very powerful?”
“Young brother, you must’ve come from afar, right?” The skinny man smiled and explained, “Starry Sky Hunters are those who specialize in hunting Starry Sky Beasts. They’re usually strong, and they have all walked out of seas of blood. It’s normal for them to be a little arrogant.”
The starry sky was not calm and was even more dangerous than land. There were all kinds of terrifying natural disasters and Starry Sky Beasts. These demonic beasts were very powerful. They were very harmful to people traveling in the starry sky. They could even attack the land and cause countless deaths. Of course, most Starry Sky Beasts were treasures. Their bodies were very precious. This was also the reason Starry Sky Hunters existed.
Since there were benefits, people were willing to take risks.
The law of the jungle was the eternal law of this world.
After hearing the skinny man’s explanation, Ou Yangming also had a rough idea of this. At this time, a few hurried voices were heard coming from behind him. HE quickly apologized and bought a ticket and left.
The giant flying boat would only make one trip per day. If one missed it, one could only wait until the next day. Of course, there were some small flying boats, but they were more expensive, and there was not much guarantee in terms of safety.
A giant flying boat could hold more than 500 people. Even if the passengers encountered any trouble, with so many people working together, there would not be any problems. If it were those small flying boats or people who traveled alone, they would not be so lucky.
After 2 hours, the flying boat took off on time and began to float slowly. It sailed toward the huge star in front of them.
This journey would take 3 months. For ordinary people, it was incredibly far away; for the cultivators on the ship, it would only take a few naps.
“Uncle Zhang, why haven’t we arrived at the Zhenwu Continent?”
Not far from Ou Yangming, a 10-year-old girl looked at the elder beside her and asked.
The middle-aged man patted the girl’s head and answered with a smile, “Jianjia, we’ve just boarded the ship. It’ll take a long time to arrive.”
“A long time…” The little girl stood up and looked around. Then, she sat on the ground and asked, “Why is it so far?”
“Uhm…” The middle-aged man thought for a moment and answered, “Because it’s a long journey.”
“When I get to the Zhenwu Continent, Will Grandpa Wang come to pick me up?” The girl asked again.
“He’ll surely come. Grandpa Wang loves you so much. He’ll come to pick you up.”
“Then…”
The little girl wanted to say something more, but she suddenly heard a cold shout, “Shut up, yellow-haired girl! What’s with all the noise? Can you be quiet for a while!”
At this time, the ones who spoke were the few bald men who cut the queue earlier. They looked at the little girl and the middle-aged man coldly with anger in their eyes.
That little girl’s name was Jianjia. She was a little noisy, but it was not a big deal because no one would choose to cultivate on the dragon boat. Who knew, this bald man seemed to dislike everything.
“Why?” The girl was very unconvinced.
“Are you asking me why?” The bald man suddenly stood up and stretched out his fists, making cracking sounds in the air.
Jianjia’s eyes were filled with fear, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “What’s the point of relying on your fists? If you’re so capable, let’s compete in other things!”
The bald man was stunned at first, but he soon became interested, “Little girl, what do you think we should compete in?”
“Let’s see who can count from 1 to 10,000 first. How about that?” The young girl’s eyes were filled with a hint of slyness.
“Little girl, you’re looking for a beating!” With a clang, the burly man took a step forward.
The middle-aged man next to the little girl also laughed bitterly. He stood up and said, “Please don’t be offended. This is just our young lady’s personality.”
“Forget it, Second Elder Brother. What’s the point of arguing with a little girl?” The bald man’s companion also tried to persuade him.
“Why don’t we compete in something else?” The girl suggested, “We’ll compete in whose house is bigger.”
The bald man’s companion laughed and said, “Little girl, our second elder brother has more than 10 houses.”
“That’s nothing.” The little girl looked disdainful. She said, “I ran away from home when I was 3 years old, but I hadn’t even gotten out of our garden when I was 8 years old.”
When she said this, everyone was shocked.
If she had run away from home when she was 3 years old, she would have been running away for 5 years if she still had not left her garden when she was 8 years old. How massive was her home?
Even Ou Yangming was attracted by the little girl. Her tone was too arrogant, so it was difficult for people not to notice.
The little girl’s simple dress carried a hint of nobility. It could be seen that she was not from an ordinary family.
“Who doesn’t know how to brag? I can even say that my grandfather’s an elder of the Mystic Sky Sect.” The bald man sneered.
The Mystic Sky Sect was a super sect in the Zhenwu Continent. The elders there were all powerful existences.
“Then you should call me your aunt!” Jianjia’s face was flushed red, and her small eyes narrowed into a thin line.
“What do you mean?” The big man shouted.
“Because my grandfather…”
The little girl had not finished speaking when the middle-aged man next to her covered her mouth and quickly said, “She’s spouting nonsense. Since you’re adults, please be magnanimous and don’t mind her.”
Not many people cared about the child’s words. This was just a small interlude. However, Ou Yangming was interested in these 2 people.
This was because they mentioned the Mystic Sky Sect!
Ou Yangming was going to the Zhenwu Continent for that. He could tell that the little girl was not speaking nonsense. Judging from the middle-aged man’s expression, he could tell that he did not want the girl to reveal her identity.
‘Could this girl be the granddaughter of an elder of the Mystic Sky Sect?’
Ou Yangming had a smile on his face. He did not expect that he had interacted with the people of the Mystic Sky Sect before he had even arrived at the Zhenwu Continent.
The Mystic Sky Sect must be extraordinary for the dragon emperor to have such a high evaluation of them. Just as Ou Yangming was thinking about how to get more information from the 2 people, several black figures appeared in front of the dragon boat.
“Be careful, they’re Black Fish Snakes!”
Someone cried out in alarm. Soon, more than 10 men in iron armor rushed to the front and slashed at the Black Fish Snakes with the weapons in their hands.
Black Fish Snakes were demonic beasts in the starry sky. Their strengths were extraordinary. An adult Black Fish Snake was equivalent to a Venerable One at the early stage.
This time, the 6 Black Fish Snakes that attacked were all at the same level. The guards on the flying boat did not panic. They had seen this situation many times. They immediately activated the formation on the boat and fought with the Black Fish Snake.
Soon, the few Black Fish Snakes were killed. Only a few of the guards on the flying boat were injured.
With the support of the formation and their teamwork, the Black Fish Snakes without intelligence could not resist at all.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the space in front of the boat darkened, and densely packed Black Fish Snakes crawled out from the void.
