Chapter 627: Nuptial flight

The middle-aged man and Yuan Xiaoyi finally gathered their own people respectively. Chu Yunsheng elaborated on the characteristics of the awakeners and then asked them to group with Luo Dalian to examine the people in the crowd.

And he himself followed the safe passage, directly went upstairs, found a quiet room, hung the flashlight, and took out the oval-shaped ice crystals and red-shelled insects’ bodies, and compared them carefully.

The bodies of the red-shelled insects were too large to be taken out and placed in the room at the same time. Only two of them could be taken out and be compared at the same time. The light of the flashlight was not very good, but even so, Chu Yunsheng still found some clues.

The first insect seemed to be somewhat different from the last two insects. It would be impossible to find out if he didn’t look carefully. The broken shell on the back of the first insect seemed to have a black backline. However, the damage was too severe, so he was not completely sure. He could only make a rough assumption based on the fragments that were still there.

Without a live one, Chu Yunsheng’s research on why the red-shelled insects only attacked him could only be temporarily stopped at this point. But he believed that he would encounter them again in the future, so he still had many chances to figure it out.

With only three red-shelled insects’ bodies, it was not enough to make combat armor, so they were temporarily kept in the storage talisman. Once he gathered enough in the future, he would then consider making one.

The oval-shaped ice crystals were also good things. After using absorption talisman to absorb energy from those crystals, the remaining crystal could still emit frost, it was strong and it didn’t lack toughness. The only drawback was that it was too small, so it was still unrealistic to quench the much-needed armor, but he could try to make an ice sword out of them.

To deal with the red-shelled insects that wanted to kill him, the best weapon was the weapon that contained the ice elemental attribute. The frost arrow was suitable for long-range combat. At present, there was only a flaming sword that he could use in close-range combat, but the sword and the insects both contained the fire elemental attribute, so it would not be as effective as an ice elemental weapon.

Chu Yunsheng also had no choice. Unlike those awakeners, who had good talents, without the help of absorption talismans, their energy recovery speed would be much quicker than him. But once he used up absorption talismans, he would be in endless trouble.

If he could make one ice sword, and kill red-shelled insects at a minimal cost, he would be able to save a large amount of energy and use the saved energy on some other much more important places.

However, at present, he only had seven oval-shaped ice crystals. One of them came from the floating monster he killed in the commercial building, and the other six came from the monster he just had killed. The oval-shaped ice crystal was very small, if he wanted to make a sword out of it, he needed at least hundreds of them.

After putting these things back to the storage talisman again, Chu Yunsheng noticed that the room became very messy. It was no longer a suitable place to rest, So he changed another room, locked the door, and decided to take a good rest and then think about how to leave Nanjing.

　　******

In the lobby on the ground floor of the hotel, the “trio” was checking the crowd of people if they were awakeners or if they had any special experience on the edge of the city.

A girl raised her head and looked at the dark world outside the glass wall. Gradually the world reflected in her eyes was lit up by one after another blue light spot.

“Look!” said the girl while covering her mouth.

However, the reason she covered her mouth was not because of fear, but the stunning beauty. She was completely amazed by it. In the dark night sky, many “butterflies” that flapped their delicate wings exuded elegant blue light, like fantastical fairies, gathering, and dancing in the dark sky above the city.

Even if they knew the danger behind that beauty, they still couldn’t help but be amazed by their stunning beauty.

“It is the king of floating monsters, we met one a few days ago, oh my god, there are so many of them!” One person with glasses exclaimed.

“What are they doing?” Luo Dalian walked to the glass wall, looked up at the blue ocean over the city, and said with vigilance.

“Nuptial flight! They are breeding!” the man with glasses thought for a second and said.

“Breeding? Why do they float to the sky to breed? And what is a Nuptial flight?” Luo Dalian was confused. But at the same time, he was also very worried. With this many floating monsters, once they noticed them, they would be dead.

The middle-aged man in the “trio” seemed to have a little bit of biological knowledge. He explained to Luo Dalian, “When some animals mature, they will fly together in large groups, looking for matches during the flight. Unfortunately, most of the time, there are often more males than females, so the competition is very fierce. Only the stronger males are eligible to mate with females. Then they shed their wings, reproduce the next generation, and form new groups.”

Yuan Xiaoyi was standing between them. When she heard them talk about animals mating so blatantly, her face instantly turned red.

However, her embarrassed feeling was quickly stopped by Luo Dalian’s next question, “so, will the number of those floating monsters increase again?”

In fact, this was just one of many other ways that those floating monsters used to reproduce themselves. The floating monsters that could reproduce asexually were actually reproducing every day, as long as there were food and nutrition, they were like an uncontrollable breeding machine.

Hearing what Luo Dalian said, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became gloomy again. No one knew how long they would be able to survive in this city…

Chu Yunsheng, who had just fallen asleep no long ago, woke up again and appeared in the hallway.

…

The Nuptial flight above the city was still ongoing, and it didn’t show any signs of stopping at any time soon. Therefore, Chu Yunsheng decided to use this opportunity to lurk into the train station with the awakeners that Luo Dalian had discovered in the crowd to check the situation there.

In total, there were three awakeners, one ice elemental awakener, and two fire elemental awakeners, and all of them had ordinary abilities, so not very powerful.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect much from them, so he didn’t care. The reason why he wanted to take them was that he wanted to see if he was able to deter the people in the train station and talk to them without causing a fight.

However, he didn’t expect that those three people were too timid. Hearing that Chu Yunsheng was going to the train station, and they had to do it now, none of them wanted to go with him.

Chu Yunsheng was so angry that he decided not to teach them any cultivation methods. In the end, he just left alone, without even bringing Luo Dalian and other soldiers.

The train station was about seven kilometers away from the hotel. Chu Yunsheng could quickly reach it at the normal speed, but to avoid floating monsters, the speed would be greatly reduced.

Since he had a night vision device, the vision was not a problem. So after nearly two hours. Chu Yunsheng finally came to the outer square of Nanjing Railway Station.

Opposite the square was Xuanwu Lake. There were three floating monsters in the sky, which would not pose any threat to him. The awakeners who occupied the railway station should be inside the station. There was no one in the square.

To save time, Chu Yunsheng walked into the train station through the main entrance.

“Stop, who are you !?”

As soon as he entered the waiting hall, eight people with military crossbows hiding behind the fence of a fast-food restaurant on the second floor stood up and hissed to stop him. It seemed like they also didn’t dare to cause any noises to attract any floating monsters from outside. They didn’t even dare to use guns.

“Who is in charge here? I want to speak to him.” Chu Yunsheng raised his head and said.

The man, who had just spoken behind the fence, said coldly, “No matter who you are, leave now, this place has already been taken!”

Chu Yunsheng smiled and suddenly pulled out his flaming sword, cast out three fiery energy blades, destroying all the arrowheads on the eight crossbows at once. The extremely precise sword technique implied that if he wanted, he could easily cut off their heads.

“Now, can I talk to the person who is in charge here?” Chu Yunsheng put away the sword and said coldly.

The eight people behind the fence looked livid, but they had to admit that they almost died. The man below was not something they could easily mess with. The man could easily kill them.

At this time, a skinny man walked out of the stairs on the right, covered with a thin film-like thing, and smiled lightly, “brother, you are indeed very powerful. How can I help you?”

Thinking that this man might be their leader, Chu Yunsheng straightforwardly said, “originally, I wanted to borrow some food, but I changed my mind. I just want to see if I can use the train here to leave Nanjing City.”

When the skinny man heard Chu Yunsheng was here to borrow food, he was smiling, but when he said that he was here to use the train, his face suddenly changed. “it won’t work, you can leave now.”

There were only a few beams of flashlights in the waiting hall, and the night vision device also could see people’s facial expressions clearly, but Chu Yunsheng could hear the change in the man’s voice. Obviously, the man was not a very scheming person. Everyone could easily tell what he was thinking from his tone.

“Have you tried it?”

Chu Yunsheng could tell that something wasn’t right in his word.

The skinny man immediately replied with certainty: “Yes, I have tried many times, we can’t get out!”

Chu Yunsheng’s face instantly fell. He stepped forward, and said sternly, “But I want to try it again!”

The skinny man’s face grew darker, and he flatly refused, “The person who can drive the train is dead. Even if I let you in, you can’t start it.”

Chu Yunsheng walked closer and closer to him and said, “You are lying!”

Seeing Chu Yunsheng still didn’t want to give up, the man also lost his patience, “my friend, everyone has a bottom line, you should know when to stop. I am respecting you, but it doesn’t mean that I am scared of you!”

Chu Yunsheng pulled out the sword and started to speed up and said coldly, “I just want to get out of this city. I don’t care what you are doing here, but if you are blocking my way, then it will become my problem! Since you are not scared, then let me see what you can do!”
