110: A new mission begins
It was the familiar room in the General Affairs Hall again, and Qin Yue saw that Female Martial Artist once more.
This time, without the Female Martial Artist's introduction, Qin Yue knew what he should do.
He stepped forward and extended his hand.
Seeing Qin Yue's cooperativeness, the Female Martial Artist said nothing, grabbed Qin Yue's arm, and pulled him towards the wall.
The familiar sensation of Transmigration began to spread from Qin Yue's grabbed arm throughout his body.
The scene changed, and Qin Yue arrived in the Arrival Chamber again.
There was no one in the Arrival Chamber; this time, he was surprisingly the first to arrive.
He didn't have to wait long before the second and third Martial Artists successively Transmigrated through the wall.
Qin Yue had thought this Advent mission would have new teammates, but he didn't expect it to still be Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Shi.
"Senior Brothers, we meet again!"
Qin Yue, being the youngest, proactively cupped his fist and greeted the two Senior Brothers.
"We meet again, Junior Brother Qin.
Two years have passed in a blink, and Junior Brother's martial Dao has progressed again in these two years!"
Senior Brother Shi enthusiastically stepped forward and patted Qin Yue's shoulder.
Senior Brother Bai merely nodded at Qin Yue and Shi Qianjun, which counted as a greeting.
Qin Yue was astonished to see that Senior Brother Bai spoke even less than two years ago.
This Sword Peak truly isn't a place for people; a perfectly fine Senior Brother Bai, who had become much more enthusiastic at the end of the last mission, had reverted after two years on Sword Peak.
He was even more taciturn than before.
They weren't given much time for pleasantries; once the three were gathered, the Arrival Chamber began to plummet rapidly.
Having experienced the descent once before, Qin Yue and the other two were already accustomed to it.
They circulated their Protective Aura to stabilize their bodies, and all three descended with the Arrival Chamber into the new Small World.
The Arrival Chamber again landed unsteadily in the Small World.
This time, it plunged directly into a vast ocean.
Due to inertia, the Arrival Chamber crashed deep into the sea, embedding itself in the seabed.
Qin Yue and the others swam out of the Arrival Chamber and looked at the boundless seawater around them, feeling a bit bewildered.
They couldn't even discern directions; how were they supposed to proceed with the mission?
"Senior Brothers, let's retrieve the Arrival Chamber from the seabed!
If we leave it here, I'm afraid we'll never find it again.
Without the Arrival Chamber, I'm concerned that even if we complete the mission, we won't be able to turn it in!"
"Junior Brother Qin is right; you two wait here, and I'll bring the Arrival Chamber up."
After saying that, Senior Brother Shi circulated his Protective Aura to increase his weight and instantly sank.
Soon, the seawater surged, and the metallic Arrival Chamber floated up from the seabed.
Once Senior Brother Shi swam up, Qin Yue and the other two sat on the floating Arrival Chamber and began to discuss how to complete this mission.
"Senior Brothers, judging from our landing spot, there's a high probability that this entire Small World floats in the ocean.
If that's the case, then the three of us cannot act separately.
It would be better to use this Arrival Chamber as a boat, travel in one direction until we find the Human Race of this world, and then investigate the basic situation of this world."
"Junior Brother Qin has a point, but wouldn't doing this be too slow?
The main reason we were able to successfully complete the last mission was actually that Junior Brother Bai directly killed a demon during the investigation, preventing their Formation from being complete.
If we three can't gain the initiative earlier this time, will we directly face five intact demons, leading to our mission failure?"
"Senior Brother Shi's concern has some merit, but we can't always rely on being as lucky as last time to ambush the descending demons in advance.
If the three of us are separated and encounter a group of demons, our lives cannot be guaranteed at all.
Furthermore, in this vast sea, our escape speed and evasion methods are all restricted.
Once we encounter demons, we might not be able to escape at all; it would be a fight to the death.
Therefore, my suggestion is that for this mission, the three of us should be more cautious.
After understanding the basic situation of this world, we can then discuss how to act.
What do the two Senior Brothers think?"
"I agree with Junior Brother Qin's view."
Senior Brother Bai Jinghong rarely spoke, but he directly sided with Qin Yue.
Seeing this situation, Senior Brother Shi no longer insisted.
"Alright!
We'll do as Junior Brother Qin says.
However, how should this Arrival Chamber move? Do the two Junior Brothers have any good ideas?
If not, the three of us will have to take turns pushing it!"
Hearing this question, Senior Brother Bai Jinghong turned to look at Qin Yue; it was clear he also had no good ideas.
"The two Senior Brothers don't need to worry; Junior Brother has a solution."
After saying that, Qin Yue's Protective Aura threads extended from his hand and reached into the sea.
In a moment, the Arrival Chamber slowly began to move.
Shi Qianjun was a bit curious and leaned his head down to look.
He saw various sea fish, sea turtles, and sea beasts gathering beneath the Arrival Chamber.
They collectively pushed the Arrival Chamber towards the direction of the setting sun…
Along the way, Qin Yue continuously used his Protective Aura threads to control various marine creatures, making them provide propulsion for the Arrival Chamber.
The controlled marine creatures ranged from small fish and shrimp, gradually progressing to large fish and sea beasts, until Qin Yue controlled a whale that wanted to swallow all three of them, including the Arrival Chamber.
When this whale swam over, it thought that the gathering of sea fish, sea beasts, and the Arrival Chamber around Qin Yue were all part of a fish school.
The whale opened its large mouth and swallowed.
But this whale didn't know that a large net of Protective Aura was spread around the Arrival Chamber.
The moment it broke in, it was directly captured by Qin Yue, turning into a Puppet whale controlled by Qin Yue.
With this massive creature, Qin Yue directly released the rest of the sea fish and sea beasts.
Using the demon vine he carried, he secured the Arrival Chamber to the whale's back, and Qin Yue and his two Senior Brothers rode the whale, rapidly advancing forward.
Whales naturally swim extremely fast in the ocean, and with the added boost from Qin Yue's Protective Aura, this Puppet whale's swimming speed was equivalent to that of a battleship.
Just as dusk fell, Qin Yue and the other two discovered an inhabited island.
After discussing, the three Senior Brothers decided to have Qin Yue stay on the whale's back, controlling this Puppet whale to guard their retreat.
Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Bai would infiltrate the island to investigate the basic situation there.
Because Qin Yue had kept the whale swimming underwater throughout the journey, even without any cover on the sea surface, it was difficult for others to detect Qin Yue and his companions approaching in advance.
After the three of them finished their discussion, Qin Yue became even more cautious, taking the Puppet whale and the Arrival Chamber further away from the island, watching as Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Bai entered the water and stealthily swam towards the island.
The waiting time was truly long; just one night passed, and Qin Yue had already looked towards the island countless times.
However, Qin Yue didn't wait for the two Senior Brothers until dawn; instead, he saw black smoke rising from the island.
A while later, Qin Yue gazed at the island from afar and saw many small boats leaving the island; Qin Yue knew that the two Senior Brothers must have taken action.
He immediately controlled the Puppet whale to swim towards those small boats.
As he got closer, Qin Yue saw Senior Brother Bai pursuing these small boats by treading water, and he also cast out his Protective Aura threads, one by one controlling the Human Race and demons on all the small boats that were about to escape.
Meeting Senior Brother Bai, when the two converged, there was not a single moving boat on the sea surface except for Qin Yue's controlled whale and the small boats.
