Chapter 1212: The Inn Whose Foundation Su Yang Pried Away

Chen Wen made his decision immediately.

Now is not the time to fight to the death.

"General Su, please bring out our experimental equipment!" Chen Wen said. "We'll need time to assemble it."

"Alright!"

Su Yang opened the Void Wandering Spirit's storage space and pulled out the instruments one by one.

He dared not be too rough—these instruments were precious!

Su Yang also noticed several military tents mixed in among the equipment.

Only then did he remember: this group might be stationed here long-term.

Su Yang didn't like sleeping in tents.

No normal person likes living in tents for long.

He released Storm Eagle to scout the skies—no Emperor-Rank ferocious beasts, not even King-Rank ones.

Su Yang told Xu Peng: "You protect Chen Lao and the others. I'll be gone a few minutes."

"Yes, General Su!"

Su Yang vanished instantly, returned three minutes later.

Three minutes passed without incident—the five scientists were busy assembling equipment, the other five generals and Sovereign Jiazi were setting up tents for rest.

Su Yang quickly called out: "Wait—set the tents aside for now. I've got better lodging."

Xu Peng said: "General Su, the back of the Floating Ray is flat and bare—without tents, it's inconvenient. We men can rough it, but we've got a woman here!"

Sovereign Jiazi nodded vigorously—it was indeed inappropriate.

She wanted even a small, private space.

"Look at this!"

Su Yang found a slightly flatter spot on the Floating Ray's back, waved his hand—and a building suddenly appeared before them.

It was a three-story gray-black stone structure; above its first-floor entrance hung a bright sign: "Heijiao Inn!"

Seeing the sign "Heijiao Inn," Sovereign Jiazi's face lit up with delight.

She hadn't expected they'd actually avoid tents!

"This… is an inn?"

Xu Peng's facial muscles twitched violently.

Su Yang had actually moved the inn here.

Is this storage space a bit too extreme?

A King-Rank Top-Grade Floating Ray can carry a small inn without issue.

Solid!

If Xu Peng wanted, he could build an entire city on the Floating Ray's back.

Like an island nation.

But it would hurt the Floating Ray's agility and combat power.

"Correct—it's an inn. This one has excellent facilities and is famous in Mount Dajiao City—over a hundred rooms. Pick whichever you like. When the others arrive, I can bring back another one." Su Yang smiled. "Now we don't have to sleep in tents!"

Su Yang had originally planned to take the innkeeper, staff, and chef along too—but he changed his mind… their mission was dangerous, and the impact would be bad!

Xu Peng sighed: "Still, General Su… is impressive."

"By the way, will the Floating Ray object?"

"I'll talk to it. If it's temporary, it probably won't mind."

"Then we're in your hands, General Xu."

Chen Wen, seeing the inn, also looked pleased: "General Xu, help us move these instruments into rooms—they mustn't be exposed to light."

"Oh!"

Su Yang thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, and ran over to help.

After all, none of these men differed much in rank.

Meanwhile, inside Mount Dajiao City, where the original "Heijiao Inn" stood, only a deep depression remained.

This guy Su Yang had even pried away the foundation.

The Heijiao Inn Shopkeeper stared at the King-Rank ferocious beast core in his hand, eyes gleaming.

He knew—he'd made a fortune on this deal!

With five Federal Generals helping, the equipment was assembled quickly. During this time, fire-element ferocious beasts tried attacking the Floating Ray, but all were repelled by the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly and Mo Yi.

After finishing, Su Yang and the other generals had nothing left to do.

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host! Your pet, the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly, has leveled up to Emperor-Rank Low-Grade!"

Just stepping out from the inn's entrance, Su Yang heard the system alert and smiled.

Now that the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly had leveled up, only Mo Yi remained.

Standing at the edge of the Floating Ray's vast body, Su Yang gazed at the still-turbulent sea, at the low-level fire-element ferocious beasts charging into the ocean and triggering explosions. Sea beasts occasionally surfaced, occasionally attacking those fire-element beasts.

Su Yang sensed that beneath the surface, beyond the visible ferocious beasts, other predators likely lurked.

"General Su, have the Floating Ray rise higher!" Sovereign Jiazi whispered. "Such a commotion will draw Emperor-Rank sea beasts' attention. I suspect there's definitely an Emperor-Rank sea beast watching this area—this altitude could get the Floating Ray shot down."

"Alright!" Su Yang turned and shouted to Xu Peng: "General Xu, raise the Floating Ray as high as possible—we can still see the spatial rift from up there!"

"Understood, General Su!"

Su Yang told Sovereign Jiazi: "Now, let Jin Lin out to practice."

The surrounding sea was perfect for Jin Lin the Mermaid to train.

"Mo Yi, you kill some too—only one's still stuck at King-Rank!"

"I'll do my best, Master!"

Mo Yi was full of energy; it didn't want to fall behind Su Yang's other pet beasts.

Sovereign Jiazi hesitated for a moment, then summoned the Mermaid.

The Mermaid hovered in midair, that cluster of water waves supporting its body.

"Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, come over and help Little Fish keep watch!"

The Mermaid mainly dealt with sea beasts, and Su Yang was still a little worried it might be attacked by Imperial-grade sea beasts.

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly could sense living souls; its scouting range might not be as large as the Storm Eagle's, but its scouting accuracy in the ocean was still extremely high.

The Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly didn't hesitate, and flew to the Mermaid's side.

Su Yang pulled out a rattan chair and set it at the edge of the Floating Stingray's side, half-reclining on it, eyes slightly narrowed, watching Mo Yi ride on the toy's back, frantically attacking the fire-element beasts, watching the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly lead the Mermaid, harvesting the beasts on the sea surface — life was a little leisurely.

Of course, that was only on the surface.

In reality, he was also quite leisurely.

As long as he kept an eye on the Storm Eagle's reports, that was enough.

Xu Peng asked curiously, "General Su, is that tiger-type beast the Hurricane Roaring Cloud Tiger, the Beast Sovereign from the southeast?"

"Yes, you've heard of it too?"

Last time when dealing with the Beast Sovereign army, Xu Peng wasn't there.
