The fire element creature landed on the deck. The soldiers raised their magic guns and fired, but the energy bullets had little effect on the fire element creature.

They are just a group of flames, and their speed is very fast. They directly swept across the deck and came to the magic power furnace at the end of the deck.

A fire element hugged the furnace and directly performed a special attack.

"Boom—!"

The explosion caused by Rank 4 magic power set off a large piece of flames and shock waves, almost overturning half of the deck's soldiers.

The shell of the power furnace was made of transcendent materials and was not destroyed in the explosion, but signs of disintegration appeared.

But there was a second one hugging the furnace.

Some brave soldiers wanted to step forward to stop the fire element, but they were burned and screamed as soon as they approached its scorching flames.

"Boom—!"

The shock wave knocked open the shell, the explosion destroyed the parts inside, directly overloaded the large molten core stone that was attracting magic power, and other rotating molten core stones also approached the critical point one by one.

Multiple large molten core stones exploded due to continuous overheating, almost blowing up the tail of the airship directly.

The forward speed of the airship dropped sharply, and then slowly stopped.

"So it can be like this?" Zoe watched the fireworks show with wide eyes.

"In adventure, sometimes you just need to find the weakness to break it with effort."

Li Ang smiled: "Although magic technology allows low-rank professionals to master certain power, and the speed of these airships is comparable to traditional airships with high-rank magic arrays engraved, the weakness is still too obvious when encountering strong people."

For sky knights with strength, they will not prioritize buying warships. Although warships can be equipped with turrets, the effect is limited when facing monsters with supernatural power and other adventurers.

If you really want to use a ship as a weapon and make a high investment to buy powerful ship cannons, it is better to build a set of good equipment. Wearing this equipment, paralyzing the armament of a warship alone is not a problem.

However, the other two warships in pursuit did not show any deceleration due to this. They neither rescued the colleagues who might lose power due to gradually losing power, nor did they fear the attack that might be encountered.

"These guys..."

Li Ang was surprised by their madness.

"Why must they catch me?" Zoe hugged Eden's long hair, her voice blurred in the wind.

The Holy Spiriel Empire, Li Ang vaguely heard this name. There are countless countries in the sky, and he will immediately think of places that are particularly worthy of attention. This should be a force that is not very prominent.

I don't know what changes happened to them, suddenly getting a large amount of magic technology armament, and also taking Zoe as a target.

Eden came here first to perceive the Star Soul, and then to perceive the Star Soul Greenhouse, and the Empire? Judging from the strange instruments they used to catch children, their goal from the beginning was Zoe.

Could it be that it has something to do with her parents?

That instrument's power should be the same source as the black lightning cannon. Li Ang is ready to take it to an appraiser he knows to identify it.

In short, this empire is clearly the early villain of the original game plot.

Li Ang was about to summon fire elements again, when Eden roared: "Watch out!"

In the clouds ahead, two larger magic airships revealed their bows.

At the same time as seeing them, the giant wolf began to create floating ice shields one by one in front.

It turns out that there is more than one magic airship in the nearby airspace, and they can call for reinforcements.

These two ships that intercepted halfway quickly closed the distance, and there was a difference in height. The purpose was to completely block the route ahead, and the two strange giant cannons at the front of their bows had already begun to accumulate energy.

"Warning flying monster, this is the main ship of the First Fleet of the Holy Spiriel Empire Knights, here to capture the imperial criminal! Stop fleeing and surrender!"

A sharp shout came from the big ship. After the amplification of the loudspeaker, it was clearly heard in the wind of the night sky.

"Criminal? Is it me? What did I do wrong?" Zoe was a little stunned.

Li Ang turned to look at her. For the girl, she was originally repeating a monotonous life day after day, and had just found her goal, imagining the future.

She had never been involved in disputes full of interests and dangers, and could not understand at all why the fierce imperial army that came suddenly targeted her.

"That's just their hypocritical rhetoric, put on your helmet," Li Ang reached out to help the girl straighten her helmet, "Don't let them see your face."

"Stop, last warning!" The big ship continued to shout.

"Two, watch out!"

In front of Eden, the two bow cannons wrapped in wriggling purple flesh tissues fired at the same time, instantly pulling out a black electric net, directly blocking the giant wolf's way.

Most of the lightning was blocked by the created ice shields, and the giant wolf pressed down the cloud head and turned sharply.

The overly intense maneuvering made Zoe scream a few times, while Li Ang grabbed the giant wolf's fur while perceiving the details of the lightning.

What a strange spirituality, different from all substances and energy seen in the past, it reveals a strong breath of death, but it is different from the King of Worms that Li Ang faced not long ago. The latter is full of decay, and it is not as pure as this black lightning.

But from the perspective of power alone, the magic power of this lightning is only at the transcendent stage. It must have caused damage to Eden from other levels.

Zoe now also has Star Soul power, so she cannot be touched by this lightning.

Eden dodged several lightning bolts one after another, but the last few black lightning bolts had tricky angles, just grazing its spine. In order not to let the lightning hurt Zoe and Li Ang on its back, the giant wolf could only adjust the angle and bear the attack with its body.

"Woo—"

The giant wolf's wailing made the girl bite her lip. She lay on the giant wolf's back, guiding power to heal it.

The two ships behind caught up when Eden turned to dodge, forming a blockade.

At this moment, if the four ships fired again, it should be unable to dodge.

Li Ang saw a group of islands nearby from the corner of his eye.

He knew this place. It is a series of small islands connected by fallen giant trees and ancient vines, named Aomori Islands.

Chasing and fleeing, they have already flown to

Li Ang took a deep breath, a glimmer of realization dawning in his heart.

The outline of the early plot of "Newbis Fantasy" became clearer in his mind.

The Aomori Islands, also known as the Novice Trial Grounds. Its complex terrain and jungles hide a large number of low-rank monsters, and the strongest monster on the entire island does not exceed Rank 5.

Due to the rich variety of monster populations, many fledgling adventurers choose this place as their target; they hone their professional skills on the monsters while obtaining monster materials to sell for money and craft equipment.

If Li Ang had not intervened, Zoe's original fate would have been to be pursued by the Sporell Empire at the same time she met Eden. Although the giant wolf was powerful, it did not know why the Empire possessed strange black lightning; it could not dodge the blockade from the sky and was struck by the lightning. Injured, it could only take Zoe and flee into the Aomori Islands.

It was there that it taught Zoe the method to control the power of the Star Soul, and the young girl also became stronger in the process of fighting monsters.

As a game, this was indeed a suitable arrangement, because playing is a major component, and the plot cannot lack the process of monster-slaying for the players.

But, Li Ang did not intend to let such a thing happen.

He needed to assemble a qualified team as soon as possible and had no time to waste on the Aomori Islands; low-rank monsters were everywhere, and Zoe did not necessarily have to go there to practice.

At the same time, the strange power mastered by the Empire gave him a sense of urgency. Regardless of what Zoe's fate might be, he did not want her to encounter any hardships; he hoped she would become stronger as soon as possible to prepare for what lay ahead.

Li Ang summoned a gale: "I'm going to intercept those ships."
