Chapter 285: Yan Qing, Eagle Cry

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Pew…”

The illusionary Overlord, created by the joint force of the musical instruments of the dozen Musical House players on the red guqin ship, successfully killed all the eight Flood Dragons.

The transparent Flood Dragons became seawater again and fell back into the sea. The blood of the fish and shrimps that were killed by the soundwaves dyed the sea surface red. Some even glowed as spoils of war!

“Hu… Hu… My mental power has almost been exhausted…”

Nevertheless, the confidence of the players from the Musical House was completely gone.

In order to resist the fish dragons from the seawater, they had to use all their strength.

It must be noted that they had already fought a life-and-death battle to escape from their settlement, and the Extraordinary power in their musical instrument had been used a lot.

At this moment, to resist the torrents of the eight Flood Dragons, almost everyone had been exhausted.

It was safe to say that nobody on the guqin ship except Boss Zhong, who had just reached Extraordinary Rank-8, was capable of any resistance anymore!

It was impossible for them to turn the guqin ship around and flee.

That was because the guqin ship had been designed with only one way of sailing.

It could only be controlled by the fancy music or motivated by regular sources of power such as sails. It could not be propelled with paddles at all!

“So, whoever designed this ship must’ve been a real idiot!”

“Has it never occurred to them that no matter how developed A.I. has become, the manual driving function is always retained on cars?”

The pale player who was holding a tortoiseshell spoke with mockery.

Of everybody on the deck, he was the only one who wasn’t overly exhausted against the eight Flood Dragons.

It was because he was the weakest on the ship. Had it not been for his family skill and the fact that he had the fateful requirements to use the Mystic Shell, he wouldn’t have been qualified to board on the ship. He would’ve been killed as cannon fodder as the other new players were.

Therefore, the tortoiseshell player spoke with obvious mockery.

“Humph. We’re not professional shipbuilders anyway…” the player whose green flute had completely withered retorted regretfully.

“Wait, there’s no notification that any advanced creature has been killed… Those Flood Dragons weren’t killed by the fish and shrimps. Our real enemy is still out there!” the middle-aged man whose suona had dimmed suddenly said in a hasty voice.

Clearly, while others caught their breath, he sensed the kill information that popped up in his head.

Splash!

When the middle-aged suona player finished his sentence, the fog ahead of the Musical House players from the guqin ship suddenly split up.

A hideous and intimidating dragon head, which was almost three meters wide and had purple scales as huge as basins, emerged before them!

“Damn it. A greater dragon is here. Is it the father of the Flood Dragons we killed?”

“It is so large. Is it a Transcendent creature?”

“It has such an enormous head. It’s impossible for us to deal with it even if it’s not a Transcendent creature.”

The players whose foreheads had turned pale from exhaustion sweated hard.

Although size didn’t mean everything on the Land of Inheritance, the pressure from the purple dragon head, which loomed over them, was already falling upon their heads like the tides raised by a storm as its shadow was lengthened by the sunlight.

Besides, even the most common dragon-blood creature was still a powerful being among the Extraordinary creatures.

It was absolutely not something they could cope with in their current status.

“Wait a second, this dragon head seemed to be just a statue… This is a dragon ship, not a Transcendent creature!”

However, as the dragon head pressed closer, everybody noticed something else.

What emerged from the fog was actually a dragon head made of some sort of purple wood. They didn’t recognize it earlier because of the fog around. Now that it was closer, they realized that the structure behind the dragon head was a red warship similar to their own ship!

Of course, although the two ships had similar colors, their guqin ship was like a little brother in the presence of a warship whose head was taller than the body of their ship!

“The ship is so huge. Also, look at the top of the ship. There seem to be several cannons!”

“Not good! Whoever has built such a huge ship must be an intelligent creature that’s more powerful than us!”

“We’ve run into powerful aliens so quickly after we set sail. Is it the Land of Inheritance’s punishment for our desertion?”

The new discovery made them look even more awful.

After all, if the enemy was a monster, it was still possible for them to escape even if the monster were Transcendent.

However, all the “aliens” were intelligent creatures who had developed their own civilization. They wouldn’t give them any chance to escape.

“Master, have you already reached Extraordinary Rank-9? Your Fish Dragon Dance was so suffocating!”

“He must be very close even if he’s not already there. Besides, with his abilities, Master can easily defeat regular Extraordinary Rank-9 enemies even if he hasn’t reached it!”

Because of the altitude gap and the stealth, the Musical House players couldn’t see clearly what was on the Mirage Dragon Warship, but the Twin Dragon Island players could see every action of the players down below through the Mirage Cloud Mirror.

“What should we do next? It’s been confirmed that they’re from Earth too. We don’t need any subsequent means of attack anymore, do we?”

“Well, Master said that he already informed Chief Yan and Chief Wu and asked them to take care of the matter. Let’s just keep watching!”

For that reason, nobody showed up on the Mirage Dragon Warship, and it simply sailed towards the red guqin ship.

“The dragon ship is still sailing to us. Does it want to crash us?”

“Raise the sails and move away!”

“How can we move away without wind?”

Upon seeing that, the players on the guqin ship began to argue.

“Wait, look over there!”

A player who was holding cymbals suddenly pointed at the sky. Everybody saw that from the rear of the high warship that had a purple dragon head, an eagle which had a wingspan of more than three meters was flying close from the fog covered in green light!

“We’re screwed! They seem to be real aliens!”

The player who held the pottery xun looked rather frustrated.

Ding!

However, another piece of music was played at this moment.

Without the cooperation of the other music instruments, the Overlord in midair had already dispersed and turned into the original form.

At this moment, the bronze bell was echoing as if someone had knocked it.

It sent out consecutive soundwaves and tried to stop the dragon head warship from getting close and shoot down the green eagle that was flying at them!

However, although the soundwaves were invisible, it seemed that the green eagle in the sky could sense them.

“Caw!”

It let out a loud cry that sounded like a human roar, and infinite soundwaves were spreading out.

They collapsed the soundwaves from the bronze bell and even pressed back the guqin ship!

“Ding! Ding! Dong! Dong!”

Faced with the unexpected situation, the sound from the bronze bell floating above the guqin ship came to a brief pause.

After that, the bronze bell shivered at full strength, sending out a tsunami of soundwaves at the green eagle in the sky!

“Caw!”

The sharp cry of the eagle that was coming from the distance seemed to be breaking the metals and stones.

Also, it was as unstoppable as the soundwaves from the bronze bell.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The two attacks of soundwaves collided between the two red warships. Noises were bursting out from both seawater and air!

Several seconds later, the soundwaves both changed their keys high and low unpredictably.

It was like a second round of competition between two top swordsmen with all their tricks after the first round of clash.

Boom!

Furthermore, after the twists and turns, the soundwaves from both parties reached a high pitch.

They soared into the sky like straight lines. Even some of the low clouds were slightly collapsed!

“Caw!”

However, as the green eagle flew closer and closer, the sound from the bronze bell was finally suppressed by the continuous high-pitched eagle cry.

Crack!

Eventually, even the residue of the illusionary bell was collapsed by the soundwaves in the cry…

The eagle that was three meters tall and covered in green light landed on the head of the warship, turning into a handsome human being who had an ink tattoo on his arm.

“Chief Yan!”

On the Mirage Dragon Boat, the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Battalion greeted the newcomer proudly and excitedly.

“Well played. This song, ‘Eagle Cry in the Desert’, would’ve awed a lot of Extraordinary birds if it were played near them!

“May I know your name, sir?”

A man walked out of the cabin of the red guqin ship.

He wore a black short-sleeved robe that was slightly different from the uniform of the Twin Dragon Mount fort. He wasn’t good-looking, but his fingers were steady and powerful. He looked at Yan Qing rather sharply!

“I’m Yan Qing, Chief of External Affairs on the Twin Dragon Island!”
